In fact, Tang Youxiang was also very angry when he first learned that Mrs. Shi had given all the money she had saved at home to her brother's family.
After all, most of the money was earned by him. Because there was no separation of families, he handed it over to the public school so that it could be spent easily in times of trouble. As a result, it was just thrown on the heads of the historians, and they themselves were left hungry.
Who is not angry?
So when he came back after selling the deer, he didn't even mention it and gave it to his father.
Later, when the fifty taels of silver came back, he asked his father, but Tang Laoshi just said, you can keep it yourself.
Tang Youxiang was not polite at all, so he took it back and took it himself.
So now all the money in the family is in Mrs. Fan's hands.
Dafang and his family must know about this, but Mrs. Bao didn’t say anything. In her mind, even if she asked Mi Bao to hold it, she would be more relieved than letting Old Man Tang hold it. The main thing is that Dafang didn’t earn this money.
, their backs are not straight, and they have no position to ask for it.
In fact, because engraving is cheap, the books on the market today are not too expensive. For example, the villagers bought a set of three hundred thousand for only two cents. It is not expensive to buy four sets, but there are also four books and five classics!
You can't have four sets of four books and five classics for four children? How much money will it cost?
There is also the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that Mrs. Fan mentioned. This cannot be used together. Every child must have one, and it is all an expense.
In the end, Tang Youxiang made the decision: "Buy four sets for three hundred thousand. After all, it's cheap. After you finish studying, you can just keep them at home and read them often. The Four Books and Five Classics... I'll ask about the price when the time comes. Let's buy one or two sets first."
Cao Xinbao was lying on the bed, holding her eyelids open, listening to her parents' discussion. When she heard this sentence, she couldn't help but said: "Buy four sets!"
She thought she had said it, but in fact she had already fallen asleep and was still mumbling in her dream: "No, buy five sets. One brother has one set, so there is no need to snatch it."
If every brother has a set, he can watch as much as he wants and memorize as much as he wants. If there are others who want to watch, he will definitely wonder, does he also want to watch now? Do I want it?
Let him see it first?
How awkward that is! How unpleasant it is to watch!
My parents are so stingy that they don’t even spend the money they give me!
Great people have said, "No matter how poor you are, you can't afford education; no matter how hard it is, you can't suffer for your children!" What the great man said must be right. So, when I see Shen Linquan tomorrow, I can give him Jin Doudou and ask him to help buy five sets. I bought it.
Give it directly to my brother! This is called cutting first and reporting later!
Mibao was sleeping deeply, still fiddling with the abacus in his dream.
Tang Youxiang also washed his face and was about to go to bed when he felt a sound coming from the window sill, like the twirling of branches.
Tang Youxiang quickly stood up, put on his clothes and went out. Outside, Fan Weiquan was standing outside the fence waiting.
Although there was a vigil at the Pao'er intersection, Uncle Fan was a skilled man and it was quite easy to go around.
He lowered his voice and said, "We've found a place. The carriage is outside. Take Mibao'er with you. Let's go back quickly."
Tang Youxiang responded, and Mrs. Fan over there had already heard it. She quickly put clothes on Mibao, wrapped him in a quilt, and filled a bamboo tube with water.
Then she walked to the fence and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Fan Weiquan really hadn't eaten yet. After a moment's hesitation, Mrs. Fan quickly put the evening pancakes on the stove, heated them up a little, cut them with a knife, and put some venison in. She said at the same time: "Watch the children, don't let the wind blow.
Don't stop drinking water. You are so hungry, so you have to drink even if you are not thirsty."
Tang Youxiang responded repeatedly and hurriedly wrapped up his daughter. After thinking about it, he also put the golden beans in the bag, thinking that if he happened to pass by, he would find a gold shop to exchange them.
After cleaning up, he jumped out from the fence and gave the pancake pestle to his uncle. Fan Weiquan gnawed and explained to him.
The place he was looking for was in a neighboring county.
There is a dilapidated villa in a neighboring county called Beauty Villa, but the locals call it Nvgui Villa.
It is said that a few years ago, there was a very beautiful oiran girl, whose real name was Cui Wan. She was good at playing the pipa. She stunned the whole city when she performed the combing ceremony. Then she was redeemed by a scholar and raised in this villa.
Extremely doted on.
Later, when she became pregnant and was about to give birth, the scholar's wife came over and started a quarrel for some reason. It is said that the scholar finally gave in and agreed to send Miss Cui Wan back to the building.
Unexpectedly, this girl Cui Wan was so strong-willed that she hanged herself in front of their bed at night, killing one body and two others.
I heard that the wife was frightened and fainted on the spot, and the servants were also frightened and went crazy, and they died one after another not long after. But the scholar died in love in the end.
After that, the villa began to be haunted. Many people heard the sound of pipa playing in the middle of the night, and some said they could also hear it during the day.
Because this incident only happened seven or eight years ago, many people still remember the delicate beauty, and the operation of hanging by the bedside was really scary. Therefore, the locals believed it without any doubt and walked away.
They all go around.
The advantage of finding a place like this is that there are many rumors, which can obscure the time they came here, and no one dares to approach it. It is also convenient for transporting goods and so on. Moreover, the location here is also very good. It is far away from the residents, and it is covered by vegetation, so you can't walk far.
The city gate is far away. If you don’t want to enter the city, it’s easier to go around from the outside.
Moreover, Uncle Fan was very considerate. Since he wanted to collect grain, there would definitely be a big stir. He went to the government to find someone to get the deed signed, and then asked someone to spread some specious rumors outside. For example: I last year, a few months ago,
I saw several large cars entering the ghost village... I also saw a few people entering the ghost village every day... and so on.
Uncle Fan spoke in detail, and Tang Youxiang frowned as he listened: "You don't mind being taboo in a place like this."
Uncle Fan was a little proud: "This is the kind of place I want! Are you still afraid of this? Let me tell you, when I went to the government to apply for the deed, the man kept praising me for my courage, saying that their widowers were so scared that they became sick.
, there was a hanged man dragging a child under his head, and a group of grown men did not dare to collect it. When they went there after a few days of delay, the body actually disappeared out of thin air... and so on, the group of people were scared to death, and there were a lot of rumors."
He danced with joy as he said, "For such a big place, guess how much money it cost? Thirty taels! I wish I could give people money to make them more popular! What if a good place can take our turn? One or two hundred taels may not be enough.
.”
Tang Youxiang frowned and said, "I'm not afraid, but how old is Mi Bao'er?"
"Don't worry." Uncle Fan said seriously: "Although I don't believe this, I am still worried about Mi Bao'er, so I first offered incense and offerings as soon as I went."
Tang Youxiang actually didn't really believe this, so he nodded.
Uncle Fan added: "If you think about it again, is there anything else that I haven't thought of? I still say that, no matter how careful you are in this matter, you can't be too careful."
Tang Youxiang said: "I think it's okay. Do you still have money on hand?"
Uncle Fan said: "I still have it."
Tang Youxiang said: "I will exchange the silver tomorrow and leave some for you."
Both of them were good at it, and as they talked, they ran all the way, and soon arrived at the carriage. Uncle Fan drove the car by himself, with his hoofs wrapped in rags, and the sound of hoofbeats was muffled in the night as he moved forward quickly.
Mibao didn't wake up the whole time, he was swaying, and he slept quite comfortably.
When they arrived at Beauty Manor, Tang Youxiang started calling her in advance, shouting and shaking her, and finally shook Mibao awake.
The water in the bamboo tube was still warm. Tang Youxiang fed his daughter a few mouthfuls, wrapped her tightly without exposing her hands, and took her out of the car. Uncle Fan opened the door with the key and pushed it gently.
.
In the quiet night, there was a slight creaking sound, and in the most corner of the villa, a light was quickly extinguished.

In the past, I had the impression that ancient books were very expensive. In fact, after reading a lot of information, I found that books after the Song and Yuan Dynasties were not too expensive. The book prices in the article were basically based on those of the Ming Dynasty. They were mainly quoted from "Chinese Currency"
"History", "Shu Lin Qing Hua", "China's Editing and Publishing History", etc., will be privately owned (because it is actually too cheap). After that, the book price will no longer be mentioned. If you don't comment on this kind of thing, you will be complained about.
Note: I’m afraid it will be troublesome for you to listen to the book. It’s so difficult for the author. I need to light up five little stars for comfort★★★★★
