"Excuse me, is this Mr. Liu?" A fresh and clear child"s voice came from the door, pulling Liu Xiucai out from his deep slumber. He furrowed his brows in dissatisfaction.

A pair of bright eyes and a set of clean and proper clothes. Although he is not a rich family, I think his family background is not too bad, at least he can afford to pay the tuition, and these are just the thoughts of Liu Xiucai. He turned his body with a scholarly look, "I am, what business do you have with this old man?"

In the end, Mu Jinzhi was still a child. No matter how nervous he was, he remembered the hard work of her sister and calmed her heart, before bowing deeply to Liu Xiucai, "Greetings Sir, my surname is Mu Jin, I live in the small mountain village next door. Rumors have it that Sir Yuan Wu has just started learning, this brat wants to be under Sir"s tutelage.

Liu Xiucai"s eyes flashed, being so composed at such a young age, he did not sound like a country b.u.mpkin, "Where"s your family"s elder?" Why would a little fellow have to do it himself?

Mu Jinzhi was very frank, "In reply to Sir, my parents are already dead. He then took out the Village Chief"s letter and presented it to the Liu Xiucai.

Liu Xiucai was a little worried that he would not be able to pay the tuition fee, so he had to give the village head some face. He was afraid that the young man would not understand and so he told him directly, "Do you know that studying here cost 200 yuan a month? In addition, the books and pens must be prepared by ourselves. If you want to have lunch in the academy, you will need to pay a hundred dollars for your meals in foreign affairs. " This Mr. Liu was not pretentious and made everything clear.

Mu Jinzhi had already inquired about it clearly, nodding as he offered the ceremony of becoming his disciple. Liu Xiucai took the test on his knowledge, "You can actually read?"

"Teacher, when my father was still alive, he would often teach his students. "It"s a pity..." He was very sad to talk about Sven"s father.

Liu Xiucai had heard rumors about Mu Jinzhi"s father, but the two of them had never met. "Go back and prepare the "Three Character Cla.s.sic" and come back to the academy in three days. Although you can read a few words, it"s still not a gradual process. You"ll still have to enter the enlightenment cla.s.s."

The Liu Xiucai had pointed out the advantages and disadvantages, Mu Jinzhi had never thought of entering the main cla.s.s, so he clasped his hands at the: "Thank you for worrying about me, Mister!"

Liu Xiucai was very satisfied with his humble att.i.tude, "You will be my student in the future, so Mister should do his best to teach you."

Mu Rousang watched Mu Jinzhi as she drove off. This was the only flesh and blood relative she had in this world, and also the only person who truly loved her. The donkey cart went around the foot of the slope and into the village. Smoke rose from the farmhouses, depicting a peaceful life in the countryside.

From then on, she treated this small courtyard as her real home and that thin and weak boy as her own brother. The only thing she could rely on …

She, Mu Rousang, had become a bird in the sky from now on. Wrong, it was the silver that flowed in from here on, putting aside the sadness from before, she hummed a popular song and brought out some corn stalks and corn grits from the s.p.a.ce to mix, life would continue on …

She wanted to be rich, she wanted to be rich, she wanted money, but she didn"t want to be seen as a demon. She didn"t want to be in a pig cage, not to mention one was only eight years old and one was younger than five years old.

"Pigs, come quickly, time to eat!" A soft, sticky voice came from the side of the pigsty, "You all better hurry up and eat. Quickly grow up and make money." Her small hands caressed her pink back. Her soft and comfortable back felt very comfortable to the touch.

Mu Rousang took out the pig food from the spatial s.p.a.ce and scooped them one by one into the trough, half squinting her crescent moon eyes as she looked at the half-grown pigs, they had grown quite a bit compared to a month ago, and the days of comfort the two siblings would soon arrive.

It was unknown whether it was a spatial product or not, but these little piglets loved to eat spatial products. As they ate, they would groan, probably saying that it was very delicious.

She rubbed her sore little arms. "Ai, I just fed the pig. The chicks in the cornfield are still making a ruckus. Throwing down the gourd in her hands, she stood proudly in the middle of the yard with her hands on her hips."

Miracle did not appear, how the chicks were supposed to flop and flop, she helplessly walked to the bamboo fence with her short legs, took a handful of corn grits from the s.p.a.ce and scattered them on the ground.

After throwing away the chicken food, Mu Rousang squatted beside the bamboo fence and chattered, "Eat, eat, two eggs is also a penny. 35 eggs is 12 and a half coins, it"s just meat money for a day, hurry up and grow up and lay the eggs." Looking at the time, Mu Jinzhi should be back soon.

The spring sun was warm and affectionate, making people feel lazy. She walked out of the courtyard and stood at the intersection, covering her eyes with her hands as she headed down the hill. She didn"t even see a shadow of a ghost, so she had to turn back to the courtyard to pick up embroidery and sit on the doorsill while she slowly tossed and turned.

He thought about how he could spend so much money and still can"t overturn the mud house in his house. As for the reason, the two siblings were still young, and Eldest Uncle and his family was angry about it. I can"t buy the land either, ai, in the end the two of them were too rich, so they couldn"t protect it. They also planned to give Mu Jinzhi some good clothes, but they needed to find the right time to say it.

Seeing that it was almost noon, he could not help but feel anxious. Why hadn"t his brother returned home yet?

"Sister, open the door!" The familiar voice of Tong Yin came from outside the courtyard wall. She quickly put down the embroidery in her hands and ran out, "Big brother, you"re back? Are you tired? I"ll get you a bowl of water first. "

Mu Jinzhi laughed foolishly. It was good to have a little sister, that time he was really frightened of this little boy who was only eight years old. "Un, un, little sister, jog slowly and don"t fall too far."

As it happily shouted, it chased the donkey cart into the yard and tied it to the donkey shed. Then, it took some hay for it to chew.

Mu Rousang carefully brought out a bowl of water and handed it over to him. It was probably because she had spent a lot of effort to pull the donkey just now, causing crystal clear sweat to flow down his face. Mu Rousang smiled happily at Mu Jinzhi, who had some meat on his face, his almond eyes shining.

"Bro, what did mister say?" There was a letter from the village chief that she was not worried about, but she was eager to know the details.

Hearing the anxiousness in her words, Mu Jinzhi patted her little head and said, "Don"t worry, Big Brother will be going to school in three days. At that time, you"ll have to leave little sister alone at home."

Ye Zichen reached out to pick her up and carried her back into the room. He really didn"t want to let go of his sister, who had been tanned to the point that it was easier for her to get clean in the sun, even after the sun had started to go down. "Right now the sun is getting more and more venomous, and in the future don"t wait for your big brother outside, it"s better to raise this girl"s family more cleanly, in the future there will be more people who want to marry you."

Mu Rousang was embarra.s.sed, but her heart was warm, she did not expect Mu Jinzhi to make up her mind so early, so she changed the topic, "Brother, how is Mister?" Mu Rousang was really worried that he would not get used to that kind of scholar.

"Mister is definitely the type to be an Elementary Scholar who knows how to study. It"s all thanks to the letter written by the village chief that he received 500 dollars less." When Mu Jinzhi brought up this matter, he could not hide the excitement in his eyes.

"That year, you only needed to hang on to money?" Mu Rousang asked him in shock, why was that man so easy to talk to?

Mu Jinzhi shook his head with a smile on his face. His sister was really simple, "How is that possible? Later on, when I chatted with those students, I found out that not many teachers like teaching enlightened students. He had completely forgotten that he, too, had been enlightened. It was just that his father hadn"t been able to teach him many words in the past.

Mu Rousang, on the other hand, felt that it was very normal for the fees to be very expensive, "Oh, this is all thanks to the village chief."

Mu Rousang muttered in her heart that she needed to think of a way to cultivate her brother to become a Black Stinger, but she couldn"t become a pedant.

Once again, Mu Jinzhi sighed emotionally at his young sister"s intelligence. "It"s a good thing that we went to ask the village chief first, so Mister spared us a portion of your tuition fee." The dozens of copper pastries were not white, otherwise he would have died from the pain.

After eating lunch, the Brother and sister discussed about it. The brother and sister duo hurried to the town the next morning to buy books, and went to the town"s only bookstore, which could not be considered as a bookstore. Half of it was for selling books, and the other half was for selling ink and paper.

The two of them did not care about that matter, after asking the waiter in the shop, he rushed to the bookshelf, and when Mu Jinzhi thought about how he could sit in the academy and study in the future, he became extremely excited and quickly went to pick up the books.

"Ouch!"

"Aaah!"

Bang …

"Sister!"

Mu Jinzhi looked at his empty little hand, then looked at Mu Rousang who had fallen on the ground, then looked at the stranger beside her, then walked to her side with a face full of self-blame, and held her up to touch her little arm: "Little sister, do you have any pain from falling, do you want to go to the doctor?"

This time, Mu Rousang"s heart and lungs were on the verge of bursting out, her little b.u.t.t was stinging hot, but she couldn"t tell her brother clearly, was she on the same pedestal just now?

He raised his head and coincidentally saw a pair of starry eyes. He only had a pair of willow leaf eyebrows, red lips, white teeth, and was wearing an embroidered blue robe. He seemed to be around eleven to twelve years old.

"Little sister, this is my fault. I am here to pay my respects to you." After he finished speaking, he bowed towards Mu Rousang. She was stunned. This was the first time she saw such an ancient scholar, and even her teeth were about to fall out.

Seeing the other party"s courteous gesture, he waved his hands and said, "There"s no need for that. This big brother, it"s my fault for being unable to see the way!" Mu Rousang really wanted to bite off more than he could chew, he held it in for a long time, but was still unable to do so.

"Young master, I am truly sorry. I was the one who pulled my little sister and couldn"t see the way. Did you get injured?" Mu Jinzhi cupped his hands in greeting, seeing that this young n.o.ble man in front of him was not a common person, he decided to be courteous first, afraid that he would cause trouble.

Unexpectedly, the young master looked at Mu Rousang with a smile that was not a smile and shook his head, "It"s my fault, this path was originally meant for everyone to walk through.

Seeing that, Mu Rousang pushed Mu Jinzhi away, "Didn"t I say that I want to buy books?"

Who would have thought that this little gongzi would be so familiar with him, "This little brother, what kind of book are you looking to buy?"

It was only then that Mu Jinzhi remembered to introduce her, "My surname is Mu Jin Zhi, this is my sister."

The little gongzi casually dusted his hands, "You were younger than me, so I might as well call you Hibiscus. My name is Yang Zixuan, the owner of this shop is my uncle."

Mu Jin Zi rubbed her head in embarra.s.sment. "Oh, we"re staying in Little Mountain Village. Big Brother Yang, I was truly embarra.s.sed just now."

Yang Zixuan shook his head. He shouldn"t have blocked the other party"s path, but he remembered that the other party was here to buy books, so he asked, "It"s fine, it"s fine. What book do you want to buy?"

Mu Jinzhi said the t.i.tle that he wanted to buy. Although Yang Zixuan"s words were a bit sour, but he was very friendly, and quickly found the books for them and gave the money to the waiter. Without knowing what he said, the waiter turned around and left, and quickly returned.

The waiter reported to Mu Jinzhi, "This brother here, one book is worth two taels of silver, adding that the brush and ink is split into three, there is a stack of good white paper worth half a tael. However, my young master has instructed him, since he has injured your younger sister, adding a stack of good white paper would be considered as a form of apology."
