Chapter 289 From Farmer to Prime Minister 17
Chapter 289 From Farmer to Prime Minister 17
When he came out of this pharmacy, the excited look on Chen Erhai's face almost turned into substance.
Because these three twenty-year-old ginsengs sold for a total of 90 taels!!
Each ginseng sold for 30 taels!!
The best result I expected was 25 taels per plant, all ~ 5 taels more!!
The silver was carefully put into his arms by Chen Erhai.
"Son, our family has really made a fortune."
When he brought Chen Nuo to the donkey cart, Chen Erhai lowered his voice and said excitedly.
This is just the beginning, there are still 17 20-year-old ginseng plants in the family, and if each plant is calculated at 32 taels, it can be sold for another 512 taels.
Not to mention there is a hundred-year-old ginseng!!
"Son, you are really a lucky star in our family. Without you, there would be no such ginseng."
Chen Erhai said again, thinking that if it weren't for Chen Nuo, these ginsengs would never have been discovered.
I couldn't help but love Chen Nuo even more.
Looking at Chen Erhai who was excited and happy, Chen Nuo smiled and didn't speak.
With these ginseng, the wish of the predecessor's temporary increase has been fulfilled.
The next step is to read the imperial examinations.
"Hey, there's a candied fruit seller here, I'll buy you a bunch, and then let's go to the school."
Not far away, someone was selling candied haws. When Chen Erhai saw it, he immediately wanted to buy a bunch for Chen Nuo.
Soon, candied fruit was bought back by Chen Erhai.
"This string of candied haws is for you, and this string will be brought to your mother to eat when we go home later."
Chen Erhai bought a total of two bunches of candied haws, handed one of them to Chen Nuo, carefully wrapped the other, and then said honestly.
"Your mother likes to eat candied gourd the most, but although our family's conditions were not bad, your mother was reluctant to buy it. 55
Chen Erhai opened his mouth.
"Here, I don't like eating candied haws." After Chen Nuo ate half a bunch of candied haws, he handed it to Chen Erhai.
On the one hand, Chen Nuo, after all, is not a child of mental age, and doesn't like to eat sugar gourd.
On the other hand, Chen Nuo saw that Chen Erhai was actually swallowing saliva secretly.
Although the movement is small, it was discovered by Chen Nuo.
Take it slow, and after getting used to the money at home, Chen Erhai's consumption habits will change.
"No no, Daddy won't eat it, Daddy will wrap it up for you first and eat it when you want to eat it."
Chen Erhai shook his head, took the candied haws and wrapped it up.
The school is on the north side of the town.
There is only one school in the whole town.
There is only one teacher in the school, a scholar.
This year, I am in my early 40s, and I opened this school after I failed to pass the exam for many years.
Responsible for teaching people to read.
The level is there, but not much.
Otherwise, the entire school would not have been established for so many years, and there would not be a single student.
But Chen Nuo doesn't care about this, all he needs is a stepping stone.
If you want to enter the imperial examination, you must read.
Chen Nuo is not worried about whether he can pass the test.
He had been an emperor in the previous world, and every time he held the imperial examinations, he would give the questions, and he had read many imperial examination papers.
As long as Chen Nuo thought about it, this imperial examination was a blessing to him.
When he arrived at the gate of the school, Chen Nuo saw Chen Yan who had finally come to town at this time.
"Two... Chen Nuo, what are you doing at the gate of the school? 39
Under the scorching sun, Chen Yan finally walked to the door of the academy. While wiping the sweat off his face, he saw Chen Nuo leisurely approaching in a donkey cart.
Immediately, Chen Yan's face was a little unpleasant.
Subconsciously, Chen Yan wanted to call his second brother, but thinking of what the patriarch said yesterday, he quickly changed his name and called Chen Nuo.
"You don't care what I'm doing here." Chen Nuo glanced at Chen Yan, too lazy to talk to him.
But in Chen Yan's eyes, this attitude made Chen Yan's already unsightly complexion even worse.
"Hurry up and leave, don't look at where this is, this is a school, not a place you can come, hurry up."
Chen Yan said with a gloomy face.
While speaking, Chen Yan's inner mood improved.
Although ginseng was not available, at least he had something better than Chen Nuo.
He can read in the town and become a reader.
If you study hard in the future, you will be able to pass the imperial examination.
Unlike Chen Nuo, who can only be a farmer all his life and work hard in the fields.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan's face brightened.
But looking at him, neither Chen Erhai nor Chen Nuo was too lazy to talk to him.
"Come on son, get out of the car, be careful. 35
Chen Erhai held Chen Nuo's arm and carefully let Chen Nuo get off the car, and then tied the donkey cart to a nearby tree.
Following closely, Chen Nuo will be brought into the school.
But looking at the movements of the two, Chen Yan's eyelids twitched fiercely.
"What are you going to do? This is the school, are you still going to enter?? Hurry back to the village, this is not a place for you to enter. 35
Chen Yan's face was superior and proud, and he took two steps forward while speaking, directly blocking Chen Nuo and Chen Erhai.
"Get out of the way." Before Chen Nuo could speak, Chen Erhai spoke directly.
Because of Chen Nuo, he has a lot of opinions on Chen Laohan's family.
Apart from the old man Chen and the Chen family, the one who has the most opinion is Chen Yan.
Not a big brother.
If he wanted to study for the imperial examination, he had to exploit his younger brother to do it.
"I came here this time to ask my son to come to the school to study, and, with your seniority, you have to call me uncle when you see my son."5
Chen Erhai opened his mouth, and while he was speaking, he pushed away Chen Yan who was standing in front of him, and then took Chen Nuo into the academy.
It is said that it is a school, but it is actually a residential house.
The yard is not large, divided into a front yard and a back yard.
The front yard was set up as a school.
There is also a plaque on the door.
Good school.
Chen Nuo glanced at the words on the plaque.
All I can say is this word.
It is estimated that it was written by the teacher of this school.
When Chen Erhai walked into the school with Chen Yan.
Chen Yan, who was still at the door, was completely stunned at the moment.
He couldn't believe what he had just heard.
Chen Nuo, actually came to the school to study??
why!!
He, a silly little brother who only knows how to farm, can even come to the school to study??
Become a reader like him??
Chen Yan stood on the spot, and after a long while, his face turned hideous.
Full of imbalance.
Although he did not study hard, Chen Yan always considered himself a scholar and was proud of himself.
Because he is the only person in the whole village who comes to the school to study.
Other people in the village are reluctant to send their son to study, because it is too expensive, and they may not be able to pass the exam.
If you waste half your life, it will be over.
But now...
"The teacher will definitely not accept it. He is thirteen years old this year, which is earlier than Kaimeng's age, and he has been studying. The teacher must not despise him who is vulgar..."
Chen Yan stood there, and after a while, he said to himself in his heart.
in the school.
At this moment Chen Nuo has seen the teacher.
With a very ordinary appearance, wearing a scholar's robe, he looks more like a scholar than a statement that can only put on a pose.
After all, he is also a talent.
Don't underestimate the talents, in modern times, there is no one in a million.
"Do you want to send your son to study? No, he is too old, and has already passed the age of Kaimeng."
Wang Cheng sat on the main seat, glanced at Chen Nuo, then turned his head and said directly to Chen Erhai.
Reading should start at an early age.
At the age of five or six, he began to open the door, read the Three Character Classic, and then slowly extended.
At Chen Nuo's age, in Wang Cheng's view, there is no need to study.
"Sir, I just want my son to read and write, but I don't really expect him to take part in the imperial examinations, so I just need to know a few more characters, and don't be like me for most of my life without even knowing a single character.
Chen Erhai looked at Wang Cheng and said something pleadingly.
Seeing this, Wang Cheng was a little hesitant.
The reason why he refused just now was because he was afraid that Chen Erhai had the intention of letting Chen Nuo take the imperial examination.
That's impossible.
But if you just read and read, you can.
but……
"You are different from other parents. Other parents hope that their children can participate in the imperial examinations, and they can pass the examinations for talents and talents, but you don't expect these.
Wang Cheng looked at Chen Erhai, shook his head and said.
"But you're right, reading the imperial examinations is not that simple. This old man started reading at a young age, and he started the imperial examinations in the seventeenth or eighteenth year. Twenty years later, he is still a young scholar who has accomplished nothing. ."
・・For flowers・・0
Wang Cheng sighed and opened his mouth, his face sighed.
He could have continued to participate in the imperial examinations, but it was very expensive to participate, and the family could no longer sustain it.
I can only stop this idea and start teaching and educating people.
Chen Erhai stood beside him, just smiled honestly and didn't talk to him.
In fact, Chen Erhai is very cautious in the face of Xiucai.
"Okay, if you just want him to read and recognize some words, just leave it with me, but it's a must."
Wang Cheng pressed his inner emotion and spoke directly.
"Well, good." Seeing that Wang Cheng finally let go and agreed to accept Chen Nuo, Chen Erhai's expression relaxed.
He had already inquired about the cost of the beam repair.
Ten taels of silver.
In addition to the silver, you also need to buy some cakes, chicken, duck, fish and the like as a ceremony for apprenticeship.
But it is also an ordinary apprenticeship, which is different from that of real teachers and students.
The real teachers and students, but the teachers need to give the students money.
And spare no effort to help.
"Sir, I'll let him here first, and I'll go buy something now. 35
Chen Erhai spoke, preparing to go to the market to buy some chicken, duck, fish and meat for the apprenticeship ceremony.
"Yes." Wang Cheng also knew what Chen Erhai was going to do, so he nodded directly.
"You sit here, listen to the teacher, Dad will be back in a while, good. 35
Chen Erhai turned his head and told Chen Nuo before leaving in a hurry.
And if you look closely, you can see that Chen Erhai's face is vaguely excited.
My son is about to read and write.
In the school, Chen Yan had been looking in the direction of the main house, and after seeing Chen Erhai come out, he sneered a little.
What, are you going to be kicked out?
Chen Yan thought about it in his heart, but soon, he noticed that only Chen Erhai came out, and he talked about chicken, duck and fish all the way.
And Chen Nuo didn't come out.
In an instant, Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned hideous.
Was this left by the teacher??
They are all ready for the apprenticeship ceremony of chicken, duck, fish and meat!!
how can that be!!
He, this silly little brother who only knows how to farm, is obviously already thirteen years old and has already passed the age of reading!!
Chen Yan grimaced, unable to figure out what was going on.
Right in the house.
After Chen Erhai left, Wang Cheng ignored Chen Nuo and picked up a copy of the Analects for himself.
The school is closed today.
He has five days off and one day off, so he doesn't have class today and can read a book.
Wang Cheng did not give up the imperial examinations completely, so he would still study at ordinary times.
"Scholars can't be brave and persevering. They have heavy responsibilities and a long way to go. They govern with virtue, and their arms are like the North Star. They live in their places and all the stars share them. There is Tao and righteousness, and it can be said that it is eager to learn..."
Holding the Analects of Confucius, Wang Cheng shook his head, reviewing his knowledge.
After half an hour, Wang Cheng was a little tired from reading, so he put down his book and prepared to drink a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
But just after taking a sip of tea, out of the corner of Wang Cheng's eyes, he suddenly saw Chen Nuo talking.
Because of the distance, Wang Cheng didn't hear what Chen Nuo was saying at first.
But in the next second, Wang Cheng was completely shocked.
Because Chen Nuo is actually repeating what he just said.
"Scholars can't be brave and persevering. They have heavy responsibilities and a long way to go. They govern with virtue, and their arms are like the North Star. They live in their places and all the stars share them. There is a way and righteousness, it can be said to be eager to learn
The whole process is fluent, without the slightest stumbling.
Wang Cheng's face was shocked, and his originally sitting body suddenly stood up.
Never forget??
Is this unforgettable??
Wang Cheng's eyes were excited, and the look he looked at Chen Nuo changed from not caring, to an excited look at a piece of beautiful jade.
Unforgettable, but a child prodigy.
Wang Cheng did not doubt that Chen Nuo had memorized it in advance, because he had already asked Chen Erhai just now that Chen Nuo had never read a book before.
What's more, the Analects of Confucius he just read were all prose sentences.
This cannot be done in advance.
"What's the matter, sir, did I disturb you?"
Seeing Wang Cheng stand up suddenly, his face excited and happy, a smile flashed in Chen Nuo's eyes, but a somewhat flustered look appeared on his face.
