Most of the people living in Chunlinfang are renters, not their own homes.
Most of the people living here are scholars.
A child born scholar may be nothing, and not everyone is so rich that he can afford a house to live in.
The reason why there are many scholars living here is that the rent is relatively cheap and it is not far from the city, namely Tanshan Academy.
Tanshan Academy is a famous academy in the county, second only to the county school. The master is highly talented and teaches well, and the dean is the former Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs who retired from old age and returned to his hometown. Therefore, in Dongling County and even the entire Jingzhou Prefecture, Tanshan Academy is known as Tanshan Academy.
The academies are all very famous and attract many students to study here.
Similarly, Tanshan Academy's requirements for accepting students are also quite high. Although it is not as difficult as the county school, you still need to pass an exam to enter.
As long as you can pass the entrance exam, everything is easy. No matter you are a child from a rich family or a poor family, you can get in, even if you are a beggar. There is no regard for status or past here, only knowledge.
Zhang Gugua's family came to Chunlinfang after their reputation in Panshi Town was ruined. For the first half month, they didn't even dare to leave the house. They had to bring their mother-in-law with them to go shopping.
Housing was free of charge, but food, drinks, and toiletries still cost money. They were used to being extravagant, so within half a month, Ms. Feng had very little savings left, and she had no income, so she secretly asked her eldest daughter Taohua to support her.
Several times.
But Peach Blossom's mother-in-law was not a fool to turn a blind eye. She refused after a few times and almost didn't make a fuss.
Only then did Feng give up.
I had no choice but to send my mother-in-law back to Panshi Town with a shameful face to find help from her parents.
But the current situation of Zhang Guquan's family is that Zhang Guquan is just a child and is useless. Zhang Song, the only one who still has a future, has destroyed the city wall and ruined his reputation. The eldest brother of the Feng family wants to help, but he still has a sister-in-law.
Therefore, the mother-in-law returned empty-handed.
She had no choice, she had no money, but she had to feed several mouths, and Mrs. Feng was reluctant to sell her mother-in-law. If she sold her, she would have to do all the washing and cooking, which was not okay.
So I had no choice but to force Zhang Gugua to go out and take over the job of copying books to earn some money.
Where can Zhang Gugua be willing to work?
He is Master Tongsheng!
Went out for a walk, but no one knew him?
But it is impossible for him to copy books.
After wandering around, Zhang Guanggu heard about Tanshan Academy. He heard that those who were admitted to Tanshan Academy would be rewarded with twenty taels of admission money, regardless of status or past.
When he went back, Zhang Gugua urged Zhang Song to give it a try.
If nothing else, Zhang Song is really smart and likes to read. He has long been unable to bear the fact that he was expelled from the town school and stayed in this house all day like a blind mouse.
As soon as I heard about Tanshan Academy, I was really excited. I worked hard for a few nights and then signed up.
Fortunately, Tanshan Academy accepts students at any time throughout the year. As long as there is no holiday, you can register for the exam at any time.
At that time, the twelfth lunar month had just entered and the academy had not yet had a holiday. Zhang Song successfully took the entrance examination and passed with excellent results.
Good guy, not only did I successfully get the twenty taels of silver, Zhang Song also enrolled in Tanshan Academy.
Suddenly, Zhang Gugua and his wife started to quarrel.
Mrs. Feng also took the opportunity to sneak back to Panshi Town and show off at her parents' house.
When the Feng brothers and sister-in-law, who were just businessmen, heard that Zhang Song had been admitted to Tanshan Academy, their attitude changed immediately.
Just kidding, that's Tanshan Academy. Anyone who studies there can be called a disciple of the dean, and who is the dean? That's the former Minister of Civil Service!
Although he has retired and returned to his hometown, he is still influential in the court.
And in recent years, I have also heard that eight out of ten students from Tanshan Academy have passed the examination for scholarly examinations, and some have gone all the way to Beijing to pass the palace examination and become a scholar.
If Zhang Song can continue studying at Tanshan Academy, he can get in based on his own ability. His future is limitless!
This is his biological nephew, and this relationship cannot be broken!
At that moment, Feng's eldest brother stuffed a few banknotes into Feng's hands and asked her to take them and spend them through her nephew's study. If she didn't have enough, she could ask for it at any time.
In this way, Mrs. Feng has money in her hands, and her family can live in the county town, and their life is not to mention how wonderful it is.
In addition, after living for a long time, when they went out and went out, they saw that no one in the surrounding neighbors knew them. Knowing what happened to them in Panshi Town, the couple became even more embarrassed.
Every day when Zhang Song went to school, Zhang Guanggu dressed up like a real person, carried a bird cage out to drink tea and listen to music, and made friends with many leisurely and elegant people.
And Mrs. Feng took Zhang Meihua out for shopping when she had nothing to do. By the way, she met a few wives from fairly well-off families and started to interact with her.
In just half a month, Zhang Meihua's marriage was discussed. Several ladies heard that Feng's son was studying at Tanshan Academy and his grades were pretty good. Seeing that Zhang Meihua was doing well, they all wanted to get married.
Originally, Mrs. Feng thought that Zhang Meihua had lost her innocence, so she wanted to find a rich man to sell her as a concubine.
But now that her son has become successful again, she has started to complain and is no longer in a hurry. She still needs to choose a good husband-in-law for her daughter who can help her son.
In short, the life of Zhang Gugua and his family is enjoyable, even more comfortable than when they were in Panshi Town.
Zhang Gugua was so delicious and delicious that he never thought of his biological father, Zhang Laodou, who was imprisoned in a prison just around the corner, let alone went to visit him.
In his opinion, the murderer's father was a stain. He could stay away from him, but if he got involved and others found out, it would be a black mark on his face.
The life he was living now was quite beautiful, and he didn't want it to be broken again.
Therefore, when the jailer came to bring a message, Zhang Guanquan almost did not hesitate at all and said directly: "Lao Dou Zhang? What Lao Dou Zhang? Who is this person? I don't know him?"
The jailer listened and played drums a little.
His home is not far from Chunlinfang. He also asked around before coming here and found out that the Zhang family living here is indeed his own house. Although he doesn't know where he comes from, the family travels in style.
At first glance, it seems that he is from a wealthy family, and the son of this family is very good at studying. He was successfully admitted to Tanshan Academy not long ago!
These days, everyone has to think highly of scholars.
The jailer didn't dare to put on airs and knocked on the door with kind words. He never thought that he didn't know Mr. Zhang?
What is this?
Isn’t it really that old man Zhang who is talking crazy?
That's not the case. It's really crazy. How could you tell the address and name so accurately?
And they both have the surname Zhang. Isn’t it such a coincidence?
The jailer thought about the twenty taels of silver and looked at Zhang Gugua, who was wearing silk. He looked like he was not short of money. He didn't give up and said, "Are you sure you don't know Mr. Zhang? Mr. Zhang asked me to bring a message to his son. There is something very important."
We have to meet him for things that are related to his eldest grandson’s future, so that his son will definitely go to see him once he has gained his trust.”
