Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 290 The plan is in vain (monthly ticket 1700 plus updates)

Excluding adults who can study on their own or go to towns or counties to study, in a large village like Baijiacun with dozens of households, there are only four children, including Bai Yonghe of the Feng family, studying in the school.

Also because there are few people studying in each village, there is only one serious school in the three or four nearby villages, with only about fifteen or sixteen students.

At this moment, Su Mulan asked about whether he wanted the children to go to school, not to go to Bai Xuewen to learn Chinese.

Feng raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "There are two gentlemen in the school, one is Zhao Qicai and the other is Wang Mingyuan. They are both scholars with good knowledge and character. Mr. Zhao is good at painting, and Mr. Wang is excellent at chess. The two gentlemen are also Students will be taught these things.”

“For Shu Xiu, each student needs three taels of silver per year. In addition to the books used in daily classes, the teacher will buy them. The pens, inks, papers and inkstones next to them, and the books that the teacher asks the students to read in private, must be bought by themselves.”

"Normally, if there is a scholar in the family, it will cost about ten taels of silver a year. If you are more diligent and use more pen, ink and paper, you may spend more."

“You can make money if you are good at it. If you have to provide for four children to study, it will be a bit of hard work, but it is not completely sufficient. It’s just that in this school, there are only male students on weekdays, and no female students are admitted..."

 Sure enough, we don’t accept female students.

This era is a feudal society after all. Although the people are civilized, men are still superior to women.

Su Mulan sighed slightly because she wanted her children to study wisely and broaden their horizons.

"It's not just the school here. If we add up all the nearby towns, I'm afraid there won't be any. There is only one girls' school in the county. But I heard that it is the Lu family's family school. At first, only the Lu family was admitted. Girls from the same clan went to study and learned to read, and later they were willing to let people with other surnames go to study, but it was not easy to get in. They had to work hard to get the mountain chief to agree. "

Feng said, "When I was dating a girl at home, my parents wanted to send me to school for a few years to learn etiquette and so on. My parents tried so hard and couldn't do it, so they just let me go." I studied for two years with my cousin who went to Lu Clan School."

Sumulan blinked.

The Lu family is the largest clan in the entire county and has produced many outstanding people. It is said that some members of the family are officials in Beijing. Even the richest man in the county is named Lu.

 It’s not surprising that such a clan can have a girls’ school.

 It's just that it is so difficult for the Lu family to learn it. I guess it depends on the other person's family background and whether it can be of help to the Lu family.

 This school is probably no longer just a school, but a link and platform for related interests.

 Such a girls' school was naturally beyond the reach of Su Mulan.

Su Mulan was so angry that he sighed even longer.

Feng patted her shoulder and said, "I understand what you are thinking as a mother, but there is nothing you can do about it. If you really want to send your child to school, I guess you can only send Mi Dou alone. "

"Let me discuss this matter with the children. I'm also thinking about what to do." Su Mulan raised her chin.

"If that doesn't work, go ask the ethnographer in our village and see if you can follow him." Feng suggested, "Even though Uncle Wen in our village is just a child, he can teach the children to read a word or something. They are all from the same clan, so it’s easier to talk about it than in other schools.”
