Previous day very early in the morning, the Yun Jing convention got out of bed to cowherd, full of vigor he not, because last night thinks half evening's matter was exhausted. 隔天一早,云景惯例起床放牛,精神饱满的他并未因为昨夜想了半晚上事情而困顿。 The dawn twilight, is ten thousand silent times. 晨光微明,正是万家寂静的时候。 Gets to the entrance, he noticed this morning family/home to be usually peaceful suddenly, noticed glaring the thing of hovel was also short, then his footsteps one revolution, arrived at the kitchen entrance, looked that to gathering round top busy Jiang Susu asked: „Mother, grandfather and father?” 走到门口,他猛然注意到今早家里比平时安静了很多,晃眼看到杂物间的东西也少了一些,然后他脚步一转,来到厨房门口,看向围着灶台忙碌的江素素问:“娘,爷爷和爹呢？” Although the day of Yun Jing is better than now in the past, but has not had the breakfast as before the view, this little while Jiang Susu is in fact boiling the pig feed. 虽说如今云景家的日子比往昔好了很多,但依旧没有吃早餐的说法,这会儿江素素实际上是在煮猪食。 His family/home feeds hogs this year as before, but fed several new year's pig, has not hated to kill one to eat from the family/home, before the winter approaches hurries to the town/subdues to sell for money. 他家今年依旧喂猪了,不过喂了几年猪,都没有舍得杀过一头来自家吃,都是在冬日来临前赶去镇上卖钱。 Raised several new year's pig, has not actually eaten the pork that have raised, this has saying that is a sorrow. 养了几年猪,却没有吃过自家养的猪肉,这不得不说是一种悲哀。 Adds Jiang Susu hears word who the firewood lights a fire to turn the head to look to the entrance Yun Jing tone slightly complex say/way: „Your grandfather and your father went to the town/subdues very early in the morning” 添柴烧火的江素素闻言转头看向门口的云景语气略微复杂道:“你爷爷和你爸一早就去镇上了” „They had not said that recently must go to the market”, Yun Jing said startled, he felt the Jiang Susu tone and somewhat was usually different, but deeply has not thought, after all mother not that type looked distressed to meet the difficult look. “他们没说近来要去赶集啊”,云景愕然道,他感觉到了江素素的语气和平时有些不一样,但没深想,毕竟母亲并非那种愁眉苦脸遇到困难的神色。 Jiang Susu is only a peasant woman who does not have the plans, is not good at hiding own mood, does not need to camouflage before own son, in fact she is intertwining for the decision that last night whole family discussed at this time. 江素素只是一个没心机的农妇,并不善于隐藏自己的心情,在自家儿子面前就更没必要伪装了,实际上她此时在为昨夜一家人商量的决定而纠结。 Yun Jing wants to study, as Yunlin of household head after the ponder is very long, has not said anything explicitly, only said that today goes to the town/subdues to ask the situation said again. 云景想读书,作为一家之主的云林在思考很久后,没明确的说什么,只说今天去镇上问问情况再说。 Jiang Susu puzzled also this, can Yun Jing really study finally? How do one provide for Yun Jing to study? She does not know, vacant. 江素素纠结的也正是这个,结果云景真的能读书吗？自家如何供养云景读书？她不知道,茫然无措。 „The decision, in any case is temporarily idler Jiang Susu to reply recently”. “临时决定的,反正近来清闲一些”江素素回答说。 Yun Jing nods, turned around to go out to cowherd, he felt in the family/home to have anything to hide the truth from itself indistinctly, but has not gotten to the bottom, naturally knew the time to oneself. 云景点点头哦了一声,转身出门放牛去了,他隐约感觉到家里有什么事情瞒着自己,但并没有刨根问底,时间到了自己自然就知道了。 Originally he also wants to make a veiled attack to ask when the family member goes to the town/subdues, oneself when the time comes brazen-faced and shameless must with, find the way to contact Li Qiu Wang Shi Zhang Changgui at the appointed time, thus implements the plan that oneself do studies, inquired while convenient studies to have anything to limit, now looked like can only wait next. 本来他还想旁敲侧击问问家人什么时候去镇上,自己到时候死皮赖脸的也要跟去,届时想办法接触一下李秋王石张长贵,从而实施自己搞起读书的计划,顺便打听一下读书有没有什么限制,现在看来只能等下次了。 Going to a time town/subdues is not easy, when god knows next time will be? 去一次镇上不容易,天知道下次是什么时候？ Yun Jing cowherded, but another side, Yunlin Yunshan was actually and villagers treads morning sun to arrive at Niujiao Town. 云景放牛去了,而另一边,云林云山却是和一众村民踏着朝阳来到了牛角镇。 Arrives in the town/subdues, after the villagers separate, Yunlin Yunshan brings one pile of woven bamboo utensils products to arrive at that on street that specializes in selling the woven bamboo utensils. 到达镇上,和村民们分开后,云林云山带着一堆竹编制品来到了那节专卖竹编的街上。 „Uncle Lin, Brother Shan, you come”, Zhang Changgui who the street sets up a stall is sharp-eyed, is away from several people to notice that Yunlin Yunshan greeted. “林叔,山哥,你们来啦”,街边摆摊的张长贵眼尖,隔着几个人看到云林云山就打招呼。 These years they have had the multiple cooperation, both sides are very familiar. 这些年来他们双方有过多次合作,双方都已经很熟悉了。 This time Zhang Changgui has not sold the restroom to plan, what sold is some bamboo flute chicken feather dusters and so on small thing. 这次张长贵没有卖厕筹,卖的是一些竹笛鸡毛扫之类的小玩意。 „Long expensive/noble little elder brother early”, approaching the later Yunlin to greet with a smile, Zhang Changgui family/home in the town/subdues, saw that his Yunlin did not feel the accident/surprise. “长贵小哥早啊”,走近了之后云林笑着打招呼,张长贵家就在镇上,看到他云林并不觉得意外。 Zhang Changgui said with a laugh: „Uncle Lin your body is that hale and hearty, you had not said when comes to the town/subdues, my nearby did not have the position” 张长贵笑呵呵道:“林叔您身子骨还是那么硬朗,您也没说什么时候来镇上,我边上没位置了” „Hehe, I am not old, all right, we set up a stall to that side, these years already some old customers, if there is a business I to propose that they, Yunshan nod that will come to your here to have a look” will say with a smile. “呵呵,我又不老,没事,我们到那边去摆摊,这些年来已经有些老主顾了,若有生意我会提议他们来你这里看看的”,云山点头笑道。 „Hehe, ok, Uncle Lin you are busy” “呵呵,行,林叔你忙” Yunshan bad expression, when they spoke, nods with a smile, was Zhang Changgui has greeted. 云山不善言辞,在他们说话的时候,笑着点了点头,算是和张长贵打过招呼。 Arrives at an open area, the thing that Yunlin Yunshan will bring displays. 走到一个空地,云林云山将带来的东西摆上。 However the mood of Yunshan is not above the business obviously, after completing preparatory work, he makes Yunshan favor the outdoor shop, then thinks to move toward Zhang Changgui. 不过云山的心情明显不在买卖上面,在做好准备工作后,他让云山看好摊子,然后想了想走向张长贵。 „Does Uncle Lin have the matter?” Zhang Changgui sees Yunlin to arrive at some intent outlets. “林叔有事儿？”张长贵见云林到来有些意外道。 Yunlin cramped, looked at the surrounding person, lowers the sound saying: „Long expensive/noble little elder brother, I wants to inquire a matter to you” 云林局促了一下,看了看周围的人,压低声音道:“长贵小哥,我想向你打听点事儿” „Hi, what Uncle Lin had to say is, these years haven't you known me? Right, previous time Uncle Lin you delivers my bamboo-copter my son to like very much”, Zhang Changgui beckons with the hand to say. “嗨,林叔有什么说就是,这些年来你还不知道我？对了,上次林叔你送我的竹蜻蜓我儿子很喜欢”,张长贵摆摆手道。 He had the child, had a boy, initially that wishful thinking also vanished into thin air with the birth of son, but his wife after having the son the belly did not see the sound, he was a little depressed, but also wanted a daughter. 他有孩子了,生了个男孩,当初那点小心思随着儿子的出生也烟消云散了,不过他媳妇在生了儿子之后肚子就不见动静,他有点郁闷,还想要个女儿呢。 Said he who sees Yunlin to mutter does not speak, lowers the sound to ask: „Didn't the matter that Uncle Lin must inquire facilitate said in the presence of everyone?” 说完的他见云林喃喃不说话,压低声音问:“林叔要打听的事情不方便当众说？” „, Un”, Yunlin smiles awkwardly is the reply. “啊,嗯”,云林尴尬一笑算是回答。 Zhang Changgui understood, sets up a stall the person who to greet to the nearby similarly, making its help look, then looked that said to Yunlin: „Uncle Lin, comes with me, we went to person few places to say” 张长贵懂了,给边上同样摆摊的人打了个招呼,让其帮忙看一下,然后看向云林道:“林叔,跟我来,我们去人少的地方说” Two people arrive at person few places, Zhang Changgui asked curiously: „Uncle Lin, what matter? What difficulty encountered? Eh, if I can help, you said, I help with every effort” 两人来到人少之处,张长贵好奇问:“林叔,到底啥事儿？是不是遇到什么困难了？额,如果我能帮上忙的话,你说,我尽力帮忙” The so-called help discerning people know are the pleasantries, their relations do not have to that degree well. 所谓的帮忙明眼人都知道是客套话,他们的关系好没好到那种程度。 Yunlin has not cared about this, periphery sees person of few, this rubbed the rubbing hands small sound said awkwardly: „Eh, that I said the long expensive/noble little elder brother you not to laugh at me” 云林并未在意这个,见周围人少,这才尴尬的搓了搓手小声道:“额,那个,我说出来长贵小哥你可别笑话我啊” „Hi, where words Uncle Lin spoke, you continue, I am listening”, Zhang Changgui shakes the head to say with a smile. “嗨,林叔说哪里话,您继续,我听着”,张长贵摇摇头笑道。 Thinks, Yunlin said with the disturbed and awkward tone: „Is this, my grandson Little Jing, came that young short and stocky on town/subdues with us initially, now he is not fat, did you still remember?” 想了想,云林用忐忑又尴尬的语气说:“是这样的,我孙儿小景,就是当初跟我们来镇上的那个小胖墩,现在他不胖了,你还记得吧？” „Naturally is, Zhang Changgui who remembers” nods, can not remember that he is so familiar with the Yunlin father and son, Yun Jing took the tie initially. “自然是记得的”,张长贵点头,能不记得嘛,他和云林父子俩如此熟悉,还是当初云景作为纽带呢。 Do not look that so many years passed by, Yun Jing gives his memory is still very profound, at this time Zhang Changgui guessed, the words that Yunlin then must speak are perhaps related with Yun Jing. 别看这么多年过去了,云景给他的记忆依旧无比深刻,此时张长贵猜测,云林接下来要说的话恐怕跟云景有关。 Really, Yunlin continues the cramped say/way: „That what, my grandson he said that he wants to study, the long expensive/noble little elder brother you lives in the town/subdues, known are more than me, I want to inquire to you, this studies the expenditure how much, what has to request?” 果然,云林继续局促道:“那什么,我孙儿他说他想读书,长贵小哥你家住镇上,知道的比我多,我就想向你打听一下,这读书花费几何,有没有什么要求？” „?” Hears the words of Yunlin, Zhang Changgui gawked, is somewhat accidental/surprised. “啊？”听到云林的话,张长贵愣了一下,也是有些意外。 Recalled that initially and picture of Yun Jing exchange, then Zhang Changgui felt, Yun Jing studies is fair, even if he is only a peasant family child, why not having, Zhang Changgui to take it for granted in any case subconsciously. 回想起当初和云景交流的画面,转而张长贵又觉得,云景读书才是合情合理的,哪怕他只是一个农家孩子,没有为什么,反正张长贵下意识觉得理所当然。 Sees him not to speak, the Yunlin awkward face was red, embarrassed say/way: „Little elder brother also thought indulged in fantasy?” 见他不说话,云林尴尬的脸都红了,不好意思道:“小哥是不是也觉得异想天开了？” Yeah, the rube attempts to study, what wants to be an official to distinguish with the beggar? 可不是嘛,泥腿子妄图读书,和乞丐想当官有什么区别？ „No, Uncle Lin, you do not misunderstand, I do not have this meaning”, Zhang Changgui hurries saying that then knit the brows to say slightly: „This matter, you allow me to think” “不,林叔,您别误会,我没这个意思”,张长贵赶紧道,然后微微皱眉说:“这个事情,你容我想想” Yunlin nod, has not disturbed him. 云林点头,没打扰他。 Thought the moment, Zhang Changgui then looks at Yunlin to say earnestly: „Uncle Lin, about studying this matter, I know actually, said that words should not be oversensitive, I do not favor, is really......, this matter was too difficult” 想了片刻,张长贵这才认真的看着云林道:“林叔,关于读书这个事情吧,我倒是知道一些,说句话您别多心,我并不看好,实在是……嗯,这个事情太难了” „How to say?” The Yunlin heart raised. “怎么说？”云林心都提起来了。 Knits the brows again, Zhang Changgui said: „My family in town/subdues, according to my knowledge, in town/subdues, as long as a little family property, wants to be studied by own child, may be able to enter very few of school truly!” 再度皱眉,张长贵道:“我家就在镇上,据我了解,镇上但凡有点家底的,都想让自家孩子去读书,可真正能进入学堂的少之又少！” „Why?” Yunlin is puzzled, studies, isn't rich on the line? Although his family/home also has no money now, but can make the valuable malt sugar, Yunlin a little energy, although that thing sudden and huge profits risk is big, but studies for the grandson, he can take risk! “为何？”云林不解,读书嘛,不是有钱就行？虽然他家如今也没什么钱,但能制作值钱的麦芽糖啊,云林还是有点底气的,虽说那玩意暴利风险大,但为了孙子读书,他可以去冒险！ Zhang Changgui receives the smile, the expression said slightly seriously: „Uncle Lin should not be first anxious, allowing me to say to you slowly” 张长贵收起笑容,表情略微严肃道:“林叔您先别急,容我慢慢给你说” , He continued saying: „First I must tell you, studying is not an easy matter, spends only, is a frightening number, the average man never have such thoughts!” 顿了一下,他继续道:“首先我要告诉你,读书可不是一件容易的事情,单就是花费,就是一笔让人胆战心惊的数字,常人想都不敢想！” „Can specifically say?” Yunlin swallowed a canal, he has really not known that studies to spend how much money, but looks at Zhang Changgui's expression, perhaps is above own imagination. “能具体说说吗？”云林吞了口口水道,他还真不知道读书要花多少钱,但看张长贵的表情,恐怕超乎自己的想象。 Zhang Changgui continues saying: „In town/subdues, only then a government operated school, I once also some let the plan that my son will study in the future, therefore inquired specially, after knowing some situations, cancelled this thought that said the school expense only, every month the 5 taels money, one year later, that may be 52 , the midway two months of vacations do not collect fees” 张长贵继续道:“镇上只有一个官办学堂,我曾也有让我儿子将来去读书的打算,所以专门打听了一下,了解一些情况后就打消了这个念头,单说学费,每个月五两银子,一年下来,那可就是五十两了,哦,中途有两个月假期不收费” Hears this, Yunlin thinks, this is not too expensive/noble, pot malt sugar can make Yun Jing read one year of book. 闻此,云林一想,这也不是太贵啊,一锅麦芽糖就能让云景念一年书了。 Zhang Changgui sees his expression to relax, sighs a sound said: „Uncle Lin thought isn't unacceptable? A little person of family property makes a great effort can supply reluctantly on, but I must tell you am, what matter the school expense is not, what is main is the books fee/spent, that is must pay money alone, a book, at least ten tael(s) of silver, after the admittance, how many books must buy I not to know specifically, you think how many that can spend? In addition the words paper inkstone, which type hasn't spent the good money? The board and lodging must spend, when three two can't, give a present to the mister? Studied, put on can't be too bad? Especially in the winter, can charcoal fire money give? These are I inquire, although makes concrete me not to know that besides the school expense wants how much money, but yourself ponder over slightly can think spend many, therefore studies, is not matter that people like us can think” 张长贵见他表情缓和,叹息一声道:“林叔是不是觉得也不是不能接受的？有点家底的人勒紧裤腰带都能勉强供给得上,但我要告诉你的是,学费根本就不算什么事儿,主要的是书本费,那是要单独付钱的,一本书,至少十两银子,入学后具体要买多少书我不知道,您想想那得花多少？此外还有笔墨纸砚,哪样不花大钱？还有食宿也得花钱,三不两时的,总得给先生送礼吧？都读书了,穿的也不能太差吧？尤其是冬天,炭火钱得给吧？这些都是我打听到的,虽然除了学费外具体我不知道要多少钱,但你自己稍微琢磨都能想到得花费多少,所以读书,根本就不是我们这样的人敢去想的事情” Yunlin directly by him, as soon as passes this fee/spent that fee/spent pounding ignorant/veiled, could not study, how to so spend? 云林直接就被他一通这费那费的给砸蒙了,读个书,怎会如此花钱？ But he clenches teeth, thought, makes a malt sugar, is not cannot undertake, therefore said cautiously: „Also?” 但他一咬牙,心想,多做点麦芽糖,也不是承担不起的,于是小心翼翼道:“还有呢？” „Uncle Lin, what I want to say that this is also only initial stage, un, is what untaught child class the expenditure of that if solely wants to be literate, reading the one tael/1-2 year untaught child class was also similar, but if wants to study about one step, that expenditure at least ten times of growth, can you imagine that is a how huge number?” “林叔啊,我想说的是,这还只是初期,嗯,是那什么蒙童班的花费,如果单单只是想识字的话,读个一两年蒙童班也就差不多了,可若是想读书更近一步,那花费至少得十倍增长,您能想象那是一笔多么庞大的数字吗？” Yunlin naturally cannot imagine, the lip trembles saying: „This...... this......” 云林自然是想象不到的,嘴唇哆嗦道:“这……这……” When returns to normal to his mood slightly, Zhang Changgui also said: „Uncle Lin, is not I attacks you, the expenditure ordinary families that this studies cannot undertake, never have such thoughts, after then you do not hug is clenching teeth to spend read two years of untaught child class to be literate, on the idea of discontinuing studies, I said studying to be difficult a moment ago, what was difficult was not the wealth issue!” 待到他的心情稍微平复,张长贵又道:“林叔,不是我打击你,这读书的花费就不是一般人家承担得起的,想都不敢想,然后您也别抱着咬牙花钱读两年蒙童班识字后就辍学的想法,我刚才说读书难,难的并不是钱财问题！” „?” Yunlin was really ignorant, spending the high price unable to study? “啊？”云林真的懵了,花大价钱都不能读书？ Smiles bitterly, Zhang Changgui said: „Reason that difficult, because of the school recruit student, has the limit, this limit is cuts off the key that world over 90% people study to be at!” 苦笑一声,张长贵道:“之所以难,是因为学堂招收学生,是有限制的,这限制才是断绝世间九成以上的人读书的关键所在！” „How to say?” Yunlin asked at a loss. “怎么说？”云林茫然问。 Stretches out three fingers, Zhang Changgui said: „As a rule, wants to study, three conditions, satisfy any to enter a school, first, in the family/home has had the scholar, does not know several character that types, but has left scholar who has the academic honor in the body, but must within Five Dynasties, meet this requirement, can make the later generation admittance study richly” 伸出三个手指,张长贵道:“通常而言,想要读书,有三个条件,满足任何一个都可以入学,第一,家里出过读书人,不是认识几个字那种,而是出过有功名在身的读书人,还需在五代以内,具备这个条件,有钱才能让后辈入学读书” Yunlin could not speak, his family/home for generations was a farmer, where has had what scholar, this condition do not think, he who did not lose heart also asked: „Also?” 云林说不出话来,他家祖祖辈辈都是农民,哪儿出过什么读书人啊,这个条件别想了,不死心的他又问:“还有呢？” „Second, in the family/home leaves has been an official, but must enters official, had this condition, within Five Dynasties, the later generation juniors can enter a school, naturally, must spend as before”, Zhang Changgui sinking sound said. “第二,家里出过当官的,还得是入品官员,有这个条件,五代以内,后辈子弟可以入学,当然,依旧要花钱”,张长贵沉声道。 Yunlin is silent, this do not think, looks at Zhang Changgui, when he said the third condition. 云林沉默,这个就更别想了,看着张长贵,等他说第三个条件。 Finally Zhang Changgui smiles bitterly, does not fear to attack Yunlin, sinking sound said: „The third condition is rich, is very rich, spends money to do good, saves the reputation, results in the government authorities to grant the title of kindhearted family/home, at this time, can manage the private school to ask the scholar to teach that the later generation juniors studied, may enter a school, without the reputation of kindhearted family/home, the rich scholars will not teach your family again the later generation, why this is also these businessman multimillionaires' families/home once for a while repairs the bridge to pave the way, meets actively the reason that famine year also contributes the land tax to be, when really their money can not have place to put? They want to pave a studying road to the later generation” 最后张长贵苦笑一声,也不怕打击云林,沉声道:“第三个条件就是有钱,很有钱,用钱去做好事,积攒口碑,得官府赐予良善之家的称号,这个时候,就可以办私塾请读书人来教导后辈子弟读书了,也可入学,若没有良善之家的口碑,再有钱读书人都不会教你家后辈,这也是为什么那些商贾巨富之家时不时的修桥铺路,遇到灾年还积极捐献钱粮的原因所在,真当他们钱多得没地儿放？他们只是想给后辈铺就一条读书的路而已” Hears last condition that Zhang Changgui said that the Yunlin entire heart was cool. 听到张长贵所说的最后一个条件,云林整颗心都凉了。 How much money wants to pound a reputation of kindhearted family/home? 要多少钱才能砸出一个良善之家的口碑？ He cannot imagine. 他想象不到。 Three conditions, any is not his family/home can achieve, in other words, the farmer of rube family background, wants to study, almost impossible! 三个条件,任何一条都不是他家能达到的,也就是说,泥腿子出身的农民,想要读书,几乎不可能！ Studying, so to be what difficult? 读书,怎生这么难呢？ In fact no matter Zhang Changgui is also good, Yunlin, they only saw these three surfaces of conditions, in way is deep. 实际上不管是张长贵也好,云林也罢,他们都只看到了这三个条件的表面,内中的门道深着呢。 To put it bluntly, the first two conditions, in the family/home have left person who the scholar who has the academic honor in the body and is an official, they are in the systems, the later generation juniors can study, is the blessings lefts by predecessors of these elders, straightforwardly, this is so-called my impoverished family, is scholar that circle. 说白了,前两个条件,家里出过有功名在身的读书人和当官的人,他们本身就是体制内的,后辈子弟能读书,算是这些长辈的遗泽,更直白点,这就是所谓的寒门,还是属于读书人那个圈子。 But the third condition, spends money to pound the reputation, that is making the contribution to the country, the country cannot cold the hearts of these people not be, otherwise later who also completes the matter to make the contribution willingly? After contributing to be many government authorities are embarrassed, naturally is allows its later generation to study, gave a rise channel, otherwise the so-called businessman multimillionaire, treated the fat pig that butchered in the powerful official eyes, a pig wants to treat as an equal to, didn't you let blood the line greatly? 而第三个条件,用钱砸好名声,那是在为国家做贡献,国家也不能寒了这些人的心不是,否则以后谁还心甘情愿的做好事儿做贡献？是以贡献多得官府都不好意思后,自然是允许其后辈读书的,也算是给了一条上升渠道,否则所谓的商贾巨富,在权贵眼中只是待宰的肥猪,一条猪想和自己平起平坐,你不大放血怎么行？ ...... ……
