Xu Yue shook her head, "Everyone gets up early in the morning, so you have to eat something to fill your stomach first, otherwise you won't be able to make it through noon."
"Reading also consumes a lot of energy. In addition, children are now growing up. Only when they are full will they have the strength to read, and their brains will develop better."
Hearing this, Zhao Bei couldn't help but ask: "How much are the annual tuition fees for these students?"
He thought that a school with food and accommodation would not be cheap.
Just like when he was young, he and his brother Bo Gui (Gongsun Zan's nickname) went to Zhuoxian to study under his master Lu Zhi, and the monthly tuition fees required were not a small amount.
Moreover, the Lu family only provides accommodation for them, but does not care about food. If they want to eat, they have to buy food and vegetables by themselves and cook them themselves.
When he was young, his family was poor, so he had the opportunity to go to school with the help of his uncle, and he had to find the rest of his own food.
However, all his classmates were either rich or noble, and their families were wealthy. Whenever he interacted with them, the students looked down upon him, which was like the thorns that stimulated the young man's self-esteem all the time.
At that time, only Brother Bogui would not talk about him behind his back.
Thinking of the situation yesterday and today, Zhao Bei couldn't help but sigh.
While Xu Yue said that the tuition fees for studying in the school were very cheap, she led the three of them back home, deliberately avoiding the school.
Zhao Bei saw it, but on other people's territory, naturally he had to abide by other people's rules. Even if he wanted to visit the school, he couldn't open his mouth.
Zhao Yun also saw that the Xu family was on guard against them, and the three of them walked from the outer village market to the inner village without consulting their master first. This was very offensive, and the master's caution was not unreasonable.
Only Zhang Fei was still looking eagerly at the busy-looking cafeteria, asking about various things in the school.
But just because someone comes to the Xu family, the Xu family will tell the truth.
Not to mention the arsenal, no idlers are allowed in.
As for the school, the only people who can get close are those recognized by Xu Yue's family, or those who are sure to stay.
Obviously, the three brothers Zhao Bei, who are still under observation, do not have this qualification.
Besides, the things taught in the school now are very different from when Yan Daru and others came.
Simplified Chinese characters, pinyin, and many other things, if placed in front of a smart person like Zhao Bei, would be tantamount to completely exposing their family's planning ambitions.
If Zhao Bei had reported back, of course, he would not even be able to leave Xujiazhuang now, but if it were leaked, whether Gongsun Zan believed it or not, it would be a huge risk for their family.
Maybe, the little foundation we have just laid now will turn into a bubble and dissipate invisible.
After all, Xu Yue has been with Renjing's family for so long, and she has become proficient in playing tricks on others. When faced with a straight-ball player like Zhang Fei, she can draw his attention away from the school with just a few words.
Arrived somewhere else.
The two talked about clothes and weapons, and Zhang Fei moved on to the next topic, asking Xu Yue how the clothes he was wearing were made and why he had never seen them before.
I also asked about the price of the clothes and so on.
Then, their current embarrassing situation of being cash-strapped and penniless was exposed.
But the Xu family is different from other aristocratic families. Although the Xu family provides them with help in times of need to temporarily provide them with food, clothing, and a place to live, they just don't give them cash!
In other words, after leaving Xujiazhuang, all they had left were the weapons they carried, three sets of old clothes, and the broken cart.
The three of them felt that they were in an awkward situation, but if they wanted to serve, Xu Da seemed to have other intentions.
It can be said that Mr. Xu is busy with his affairs. What is there to be busy with on this snowy day?
Gu Zou
But if Mr. Xu is not busy, then why has he not appeared these days?
Zhao Bei was beating a drum in his heart. Just thinking about the Xu family's attitude towards him made him feel sleepy again.
A warm feeling rushed to his face, interrupting Zhao Bei's thoughts.
"Three uncles, please come in." Xu Yue stood in front of a room full of glass windows, opened the door, and invited the three people to enter.
Only then did Zhao Bei realize that he had arrived at the Xu family mansion unknowingly.
Unlike common mansions, there were so few people in the Xu family's courtyard that he suspected that there might not be any servants to serve him here.
After living in Xujiazhuang for these days, Zhao Bei can also feel that the people here, whether they are owners or tenants, like to do their own things.
He thought that if he hadn't been a guest, maybe the little girl at the front desk wouldn't have arranged everything for him like this.
Moreover, the Xu family did not arrange a servant for them during their stay in the past few days. There was only an old Wutou who came to greet them at regular times every day.
During these days when he was ill in bed, his wife took care of his daily life.
Zhao Bei and the three of them have also experienced hard times, so they don't feel any discomfort, they are just curious.
They wanted to know what kind of person Xu Gong was who turned the tide.
Unfortunately, the three brothers did not know that Xujiazhuang was not the work of Xu Gong alone, but the result of the joint efforts of Xu Gong's family of five.
What's more, all the rules in Zhuangzi were not made by Xu Gong, but were practiced bit by bit by his family members through hard work.
The room was much warmer than outside. There was no open fire in the whole room, but it was warmer than the Kang room where Zhao Bei and the others stayed in the hotel.
The house has floors throughout, and the windows are bright and clean. No oil is needed, and the light coming in from the glass windows is enough for lighting.
"Brother Xuande, you are here! Come in and sit down quickly!"
Xu Da, who was sitting in the room, stood up excitedly and greeted him with a smile, as enthusiastic as fire.
Zhao Bei couldn't help but suspect that maybe Brother Xu was really busy and didn't have time to see him.
Zhao Bei and the other two walked into the house and found that all five members of the Xu family had gathered together.
Xu Dalang sat in front of the desk, chewing soybeans, as indifferent and taciturn as when they first met.
Xu Erniang was sitting cross-legged on a wool felt mat doing embroidery work. She was not young, and Zhao Bei and the other two people who were avoiding danger did not dare to look at it, so they did not realize that the work in her hands was not embroidery, but knitting thread.
Xu Yue left her father to her father and went to her brothers and sisters. She sat on the heated wool felt mat and ate fried soybeans with her brother.
Xu Dagang led the three brothers Zhao Bei and Zhao Bei to sit down aside. Wang, carrying a golden copper stove, walked in with Ah Er and Ah San.
Seeing the mutton rolls and off-season vegetables held by Ah Er and Ah San, the Xu Yue brothers and sisters stood up in surprise.
"Want to eat hot pot?" Xu Yuezheng asked.
Wang's lips curled up into a smile and she hummed.
Seemingly they had just met Zhao Bei and the others, Wang said hello to the three of them again, and the three of them got up slightly confused.
Xu Da introduced: "This is my wife, Mrs. Wang, Wang Pingping."
