Chapter 252: The marriage of the Su family must be finalized
When the village chief came, Old Man Su simply told the little sugar baby that he wanted to borrow the vacant thatched house in the village as an academy.
Wang Zhengyi immediately agreed.
Immediately, regardless of the fact that it was getting late, he greeted a large group of people and went to tidy up the thatched hut.
Repair the roof, clean the house, clear the weeds in the yard...
Finally, each household gathered together some tables, chairs and benches.
So, by the time Yu Zhilan and Liu Juren had dinner at Su's house, the thatched house had been tidied up, neat and presentable.
Yu Zhilan and Liu Juren did not stay at Su's house overnight, but moved directly to the thatched house.
And it was agreed that the classes for Da Pan and others would begin the next day.
Until Yu Zhilan and Liu Juren left, Old Man Su did not calm down from his high mood.
However, the village chief Wang Zhengyi came over again.
"Brother Su, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to build the academy. What do you think should be the rules for this matter?"
After all, if it were an academy in Daliushu Village, every household would need to raise money.
Then every household has a certain right to speak.
For example, the Li family private school belongs to the entire Li family.
Although the power lies in the hands of the clan leader, other descendants of the Li family also benefit from it.
Now that the academy in Daliushu Village has benefited all the children in the village, it cannot be spared any money.
"Don't worry about the money." Mr. Su waved his hand and said, "My daughter proposed to build the academy. Sugar Baby said that our family will provide the money."
Although the village chief had known that this would happen, he was still filled with emotion after hearing what Old Man Su said.
It is obvious that this academy does not make money.
Not only that, at the beginning, a lot of money had to be added to it.
If every household pools their money, some of them will definitely not be happy.
"Okay! Then this academy will belong to you from now on! No one in our village can interfere with how to manage it," the village chief said happily.
After all, this is someone else’s own money, and others really shouldn’t interfere.
Old man Su hasn't thought about this problem yet.
It has only been a few hours since we knew about the establishment of the academy.
He didn't have time to think about this yet, he just instinctively listened to his little girl's words.
My little girl said she wanted to build an academy, so let’s build an academy.
"That's okay." Old Man Su thought for a moment and said, "But the large open space behind the thatched house..."
"That open space is our village and is allocated to the academy." The village chief said cheerfully: "I will handle the land deed matter."
"Okay, it's settled." Old Man Su said happily.
Although the family is not short of money now, it is always good to save a few taels of money to buy land.
Of course, even if the family is short of money, they still need to borrow money to build an academy.
After all, building an academy is more important than anything else.
Old Man Su felt that his current status had been elevated because of this incident.
From now on, I am afraid that I will also become a heirloom of poetry and calligraphy.
When Old Man Su thought of this, his blood boiled.
It has to be said that in this era when everything is of low quality and only education is high, when it comes to academies, it is definitely a high-class existence.
Old Man Su's face was flushed, and his eyes were even brighter.
"Daughter, let's postpone the construction of our house for a while. Let's build the academy first. Tomorrow I will start building a few more thatched houses behind the thatched house..."
Old Man Su was chattering excitedly, and anyone could see how happy Old Man Su was.
"Oh, thank you for your hard work, Dad." The little sugar baby said obediently: "After the academy is built, dad will continue to take care of it, but it is better for the academy's chief uncle to be the top scholar."
After all, the title of Number One Scholar is a sign, a gimmick for the academy to become famous.
"Okay! Whatever my daughter says, do it!" Old Man Su said happily.
Early the next morning, Old Man Su began to discuss the affairs of Luogai Academy.
The people of Daliushu Village also took action.
We don’t have to pay any money, and our children can study for free, so we must be scrambling to contribute.
In the open space behind the thatched house, the fire was noisy.
There are people hoeing weeds, there are people digging soil and laying foundations, there are children running and jumping happily...
However, in the thatched house, Da Pan, Wang Lai and others were detained to study.
So, when the sound of Lang Lang's reading came from the window, the open space fell silent for a moment.
Even the children who were running and jumping felt the change in the atmosphere and stopped laughing.
People looked at the thatched house with reverence and worked harder.
It was as if I had seen some kind of hope, and seemed to have ignited a certain kind of fire in my heart.
As for the children, they were all quietly driven away by the adults.
So as not to disturb the sound of reading in the thatched house.
In the big house.
"Brother, do you know a person named Yu Zhilan?" Little Tangbao asked Xuanyuan Jin, "It is said that he was the number one scholar in Tianxi's fifth year."
"Yeah." Xuanyuan Jin nodded.
Little sugar baby, "...No wonder he keeps saying he wants to see you. He knows he knows you."
"Ignore him and write carefully." Xuanyuan Jin glanced at the little sugar baby's dog crawling character and said.
"Oh." The little sugar baby quickly raised the pen and hung it on his wrist, trying hard to crawl up to look better.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Jin raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
The little sugar baby patiently crawled around the big house, but a carriage came to the door of the Su family.
Mother Zhang got off the carriage and glanced at the door of Su's house, with a look of disgust on her face.
With such a broken household, you still dare to refuse the marriage proposal from the Duke's office. You really don't know what the heavens and the earth are!
Now it's better, let the wife of the prince of the Duke's palace do nothing and be reduced to a happy concubine.
"Bring the things!" Zhang's mother ordered the two maids.
The two maids quickly agreed.
One held up two pieces of material, and the other held up a small box.
The two pieces of material were just ordinary muslin.
As for the small box, there is a silver bracelet, a pair of silver earrings, and a silver hairpin.
Mother Zhang glanced at her with disdain and curled her lips slightly.
Even she doesn't like these things.
The old lady did not let her take any of the specially purchased betrothal gifts.
In the end, I just took a few random things from the things I gave as rewards to my servants.
It can be seen that the old lady is very dissatisfied with the Su family.
However, she did not expect that the old lady would eventually send her Su family to propose marriage.
Of course, not just herself, but also the old lady’s confidant, Mrs. Wang.
Mother Wang couldn't help but frowned when she saw that Mother Zhang was acting condescending before she came in.
"Mother Zhang, please try to be more polite when you speak later." Mother Wang said, "The most important thing is to do your errands well."
"What are you talking about, elder sister?" Zhang's mother said with a smile, "Of course the most important thing is to do the errands well, but if this family still doesn't know what is good and what is good, is it possible that we will return without success?"
