The Changshui River is turbulent, and cargo ships come and go. Some small awnings dock on the shore and serve as ferry boats.

One of them is the most conspicuous, it is an official ship, it is several times larger than the other ships, especially the sail, the mast on the ship points high into the sky.

"Brother Ye, look at that ship. Is this the arrival of a new official?"

Many curious people looked at the official ship that was incompatible with this place.

Most of the ships docked at their dock are old, and it is still rare for them to find such a simple and well-maintained ship.

There were several people standing at the bow of the ship, wearing wide robes and brocade robes. The man in the lead was dressed in white and had a jade crown. He was very handsome and carried his movements cheerfully.

The people on the boat threw the anchor into the river, and several people got off the boat, causing passers-by to wonder who the big shot was.

Anyone with a discerning eye can spot it at a glance, especially the two people following the man in white. One is tied with a literary tassel and the other is tied with a martial tassel, which represents the meaning of Wen Tao and Wu Lu.

Only first-rank officials or relatives of the emperor are qualified to be appointed as civil, military and military officials.

Most people guessed that this was a high-ranking official who came down to investigate the case. You should know that their county prince was killed by others.

After receiving the news, the county magistrate of Tongluo Town rushed to greet him, gave him a big gift, and prepared a place for the group to stay.

Fang Cuiying packed up the stall. Recently, more and more people came to their place to eat noodles, and they were sold out before noon.

"Let's buy some meat and go home. Dad and my eldest and third brother have been busy working in the fields recently."

It's spring plowing season recently, and people are busy in the fields everywhere, hoping for a good harvest this year.

"Dad asked us to go to that private school and inquire about it to see when it will be admitted."

The two of them planned to go to a private school to inquire first. Now that spring has begun, the two eldest children will also be sent to school.

The only private school in the town is located on Qiu Ming Mountain in the south of Mengtang Town. The scenery above is quiet and it is a good place to study.

After the renovation, although the current school has lost its previous charm, it is still solemn.

Songbai Academy is located next to the county government office and is large and magnificent.

The two of them inquired all the way up Qiu Ming Mountain, and there were scattered students walking on the forest path. It should be time for a break from school for dinner.

Fang Cuiying looked at these energetic children, who had a bookish air on their bodies and had tall and straight figures as clean as bamboo.

Next year she will definitely send Wen Qing and Wenhua to study. Their family has never had a scholar for generations.

The two of them walked to the door of the private school, where there was a newly hung plaque above.

"Brother Ye, what is this word?"

Fang Cuiying is illiterate and only recognizes her own name. She learned how to plate beads from her father.

"It seems to be Qiuming Academy, which is the name of this mountain."

Wang Yonglin knew some words, but not much, and he couldn't write them if asked.

Fang Cuiying politely asked the students inside and helped them find the master there.

"Which master are you looking for? We have four masters."

"We will look for you, the greatest master."

The little boy thought for a moment and realized that the oldest one was Master Meng. He was the oldest Master.

After passing through the gate, you can see rows of buildings and a pool leading outside, where some students clean their ink pens and inkstones.

"The mind is uncertain, playful and lazy, rotten wood cannot be carved!"

The little boy took the two of them outside the corridor. When he saw the master punishing the students, he quickly ran away.

Fang Cuiying saw an old man with white hair and white beard, holding a long ruler in his hand, lecturing and hitting the palms of the students' hands.

The snapping sound was frightening, and I felt sorry for the child just looking at it.

But when she got closer, Fang Cuiying's heartache just disappeared. Well done! Well done!

It was Wang Yongzhi's youngest son who was punished by the old master. The boy who spoke rudely during the ancestor worship ceremony was now beaten to tears by the master.

"What are you two doing?"

The old master put the ruler behind his back and walked down the steps, his eyebrows furrowed and his eyes furrowed.

The two of them felt inexplicably flustered. They were not his students, so how could they have the illusion that they wanted to be taught a lesson?

"Master, we are here to ask how to enroll here."

"Why are you looking for me? Go find that person named Zhu."

After that, the old man lined up several students who had not completed the task and recited the words in front of them one by one. If they memorized a wrong word, they would be rewarded with a piece of paper.

"I said, Brother Ye, this old man is too cruel. What should we do now? He ignores us and talks about looking for someone named Zhu."

Wang Yonglin didn't dare to ask this fierce old man any more questions, so he turned around and asked about his wife surnamed Zhu.

Fortunately, the master named Zhu was very easy-going. He received the two of them, asked about the students who wanted to enroll, and was quite accepting of the children's age.

The three of them talked for a long time and understood the situation clearly, and finally they went back satisfied.

When Fang Cuiying returned home, she saw a group of chickens running around the yard, pecking at scraps on the ground.

Today there were chicken sellers all over the village, and many families bought a few and kept them.

Liu Chunlan bought twenty chickens. After grinding the wheat at home, there was a lot of wheat husks, which were of high value. It was best to use them to feed livestock.

Especially the good wheat brought out by Fu Bao, even the rabbits like to eat the wheat husks.

"Wan Guan!" Wenbo picked up the cat that was chasing the chicken and put it into the nest.

This is the chicken that the aunt just bought, but it cost a lot of copper coins.

Wang Yongan is busy making chicken coops so that he can put the chickens in the chicken coop without running around or being bitten by cats.

Even though the two kittens are still young, they are already able to pounce and bite.

Especially Mr. Wang’s shoes, they were often dragged into the yard and bitten by two guys.

Sitting peacefully on the bamboo mat, the little chicken came to her side. It was a round ball. Except for pooping everywhere, everything else was fine.

An Ran would add some spring water to their small drinking bowls from time to time. Unfortunately, these chickens didn't know good things. Every time, they would put their feet into the drinking bowl first, and then drink the foot washing water with relish.

Suddenly, there were many more living things in their house, and it felt a lot more lively.

Wan Guan and Tiedan especially like to fight. They can't stay in the nest at all. They run all over the yard. When they get tired from running, they will come next to her.

When no one was paying attention, An Ran secretly fed them delicious chicken breasts, a little bit each time.

Father Wang and Wang Yongping are still digging in the soil, and it is time to work in the afternoon.

Liu Chunlan took her two other sisters-in-law to make flour at home, and left all the business of running the stall to her second sister's family.

"I've already asked about it. Is it the day after tomorrow? How much do I have to pay?"

Ever since he gave a lot of money from the family to his fourth son, Wang Yonglin, the money was not enough for his two children to pay for repairs. Now he has saved a lot, and Father Wang mentioned it again yesterday.

"A school year costs three taels of silver, and I have to bring half a bag of rice and noodles every month. There seems to be a ten-day holiday, with ten days of study and one day off."

"Is there anything else? Do you have those pens, inks, paper and inkstones? Do you want us to prepare them?"

There is no one in Mr. Wang’s family who has read a book, so they are blind to everything. There may be someone who can help, but they don’t know if they want to see him or not.

Fang Cuiying got excited when talking about this, and told everyone what she had encountered today with great interest, imitating her while talking.

It made several women cover their mouths and chuckle. After laughing a few times, Liu Chunlan thought, wouldn't it be embarrassing if her son did the same in the future.

"The only thing we should do is not bother them. They have eyes on the top of their heads and use their nostrils to see people."

The relationship became even more tense after the ancestor worship last time. Even if there were scholars in their family, they would not help them.
