The dawn of autumn comes later and later.
Before dawn, Zhao Ergou got up and asked Zhao Dashan and Ah Fu to help move the cloth.
The carriage carriage had a limited height, so the seats had to be removed to barely fit all the cloth inside.
Zhao Ergou was a good driver of a carriage and knew how to hold the reins. He drove the carriage quickly out of Dahe Village and headed for Baiyun Town.
Zhao Youcai and Zhao Da also set off, and the car drove toward Hekou Town.
Cheng Wanwan slept in bed for a while before getting up. Even if she stayed in bed for a while, the sky was not bright when she got up.
With Chunhua coming to help, she now no longer has to endure the stench to clean the chicken coop, duck shed, and sheep house...
Chun Hua worked very quickly, cleaning all the livestock sheds in the back yard in an hour, and then started boiling plant ash to disinfect and prevent the plague. After disinfection, she spread clean straw on the sheep pen, rabbit nest and dog kennel. Look. It's very refreshing to wear.
The rabbits at home were originally two little ones given by Hunter Zhao. It takes four or five months for the little rabbits to become pregnant and give birth to cubs, so Cheng Wanwan secretly bought a pair of male and female rabbits from the mall and threw them into the rabbit nest. Just pretend it was picked up from the mountain.
The children in the family had eaten rabbit meat and knew how delicious it was. They all stared at the two big rabbits and swallowed their saliva. Cheng Wanwan pulled him and told him a truth - rabbits give birth to rabbits, and there will be endless descendants. Only then did a few children give up the idea.
The two lambs at home are getting stronger and stronger. The lambs are in the growth period and the ewes are in the recovery period of milk production. The one, two and three lambs eat a lot of food every day, which makes Cao Yingying, a rich lady, have a lot of food in a day. Spent most of the day outside cutting grass.
After Zhao Sanniu went to martial arts, Zhao Dashan and Ah Fu were doing half the work of chopping firewood at home. Ah Fu was chopping firewood at the moment.
Cheng Wanwan sat in the yard and poured herself a cup of tea. This was the best Biluochun she bought from the mall. It had a mellow taste and lingering aroma. After one sip, she felt refreshed.
The children were busy in the yard, but she was drinking tea, feeling a little embarrassed for no reason.
Forget it, let's go into the house and think about the design of the restaurant decoration. According to the speed at which Ergou is making money, this family will be able to buy a shop soon.
Cheng Wanwan drank the last sip of tea and just stood up when he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
She thought it was Zhao Ergou who had returned. She stood on tiptoe and looked out, and saw the Shen family's carriage. It was the county magistrate who had arrived.
People in the village were already familiar with this carriage. Everyone thought that this carriage would stop in front of Cheng Wanwan's house. After all, the county magistrate's son lived at Cheng Wanwan's house. Moreover, the county magistrate sent a matchmaker to propose marriage last time. The matter just ended without further details. Everyone in the village wanted to see the follow-up progress. They all walked quietly towards Cheng Wanwan's house with their big gossipy eyes open.
Unexpectedly, the carriage stopped directly at the door of the new school.
The school was built on a piece of wasteland, with a total of four rooms, three classrooms, and a residence. The dirt floor around the school was paved with bluestone slabs, which looked clean and tidy. The carriage stopped on the bluestone slabs, and two people got out of the car.
One is Magistrate Shen wearing navy blue uniform.
One is a man wearing a coarse cloth gown. He is about forty years old and has a long beard.
"This is the newly built school in Dahe Village." Magistrate Shen said, "Quinzi is also studying in Dahe Village. I hope Master Yu can give me some tips for the college entrance examination next year."
"It's useless to mention anything. If he is talented, he can be on the list without me mentioning it. If he is reckless, no matter how much I say, it's useless." Master Yu looked at the school in front of him and sighed, "I didn't expect it. , I can still serve as a role model for others in my lifetime, just like a dream."
Magistrate Shen fell silent.
When he was studying in his childhood, he aimed at Master Yu. Master Yu became a boy at the age of ten, a scholar at the age of eleven, and won the imperial examination at the age of fourteen. He was a child prodigy praised by everyone in his ancestral homeland.
When Master Yu was fifteen years old, he was elected as a tribute scholar. Becoming a Jinshi was a sure thing, but something happened at this juncture.
Because he was too good, he was attracted, and young and frivolous children don't know what political gangs are. The day after he refused, scholars in Fucheng jointly reported that Master Yu had cheated in the imperial examination. The prefect sent someone to investigate, and it was true.
He was denounced verbally and written by countless readers and became like a rat on the street.
Master Yu was spurned by the literati for five years in his hometown. Finally, he had no choice but to leave his hometown and moved to Huzhou to make a living.
The people of Huzhou didn't know what was going on in other places, so they accepted him completely. He entered the official school with his knowledge, and spent ten years peacefully like this, before something happened again.
Someone knew his identity and exposed it in public. This caused a huge fuss. Almost everyone in Huzhou knew that there was a Master Yu whose moral character was corrupt, and no school was willing to admit him.
And he has settled down in Huzhou, has a wife and children, and it is impossible for him to drag his family to another place to survive.
So he changed his profession and made a living by writing letters to people in an alley in Huzhou. In this way, more than ten years passed.
From a handsome fifteen-year-old boy to a forty-year-old man who has accomplished nothing, this life has been so bumpy and sad.
Just as Magistrate Shen was sighing with emotion, Li Zheng ran over quickly.
He knelt on the ground with a plop: "The common people have seen the county magistrate!"
"Didn't I say that when I come to the village, I don't need to pay such a courtesy." Magistrate Shen asked him to get up, and then he said, "I heard that Dahe Village is short of a teacher. This is Master Yu. What does Zhao Lizheng think? ?”
Li Zheng raised his head and took a look. He felt that Master Yu was an extraordinary person. At first glance, he was at least a scholar.
No, it couldn't be a scholar. A scholar with an official status. How could he come to a mountain valley like theirs to teach children to read?
It should be a child, and children are rare. Their Dahe Village has never had a child so far.
"Thank you, Lord Magistrate!" Li Zheng was overjoyed and thanked him immediately, "Please allow me to report the situation of Dahe Village School. There are seventy-two students in total, the oldest is eighteen years old and the youngest is five years old. They are divided into two classes, A and B. After this month "The tuition fee for the children's education is tentatively set at thirty cents for one month, and we can earn more than two taels of silver a month. Master Yu is teaching in the village, and he can earn 20 taels of silver a month, including food and accommodation. Is that possible?"
Magistrate Shen said nothing and looked at the man beside him.
Master Yu stroked his beard and said, "Money is an external possession, and two taels of silver are more than enough."
The Yu family is not poor. He has been gifted since he was a child, and his family has never been short of money. After an accident occurred when he was fifteen years old, he was expelled by his tribe. It was only then that he realized that money is not easy. After five years of being miserable in my hometown, I arrived in Huzhou. At that time, teaching in a government school cost six taels of silver a month. After ten years of teaching, he had many peaches and plums all over the world. A student wanted to overturn his case. In the end, his reputation as a scholar was revoked, and he could no longer teach. The official study will continue.
He also wants to make a name for himself and clear his name one day.
He also wants to be famous all over the world and return to his hometown in fine clothes after ten years of downfall.
However, we can only succumb to reality.
In the past ten years or so, I have been writing letters to people to make a living. If I can earn 500 yuan a month, I am considered lucky.
After going through the most difficult time, I realized how difficult it is to get these two taels of silver.
Li Zheng said respectfully: "Master Yu, please sit down for a while. I'll call someone to clean up the place."
Li Zheng hurriedly called his wife and daughter-in-law to make the bed for Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu was a child, so he had to be treated like a child. He took the best sheets and bedding from his house and put them on them. The big desk made by the eldest grandson was even covered with a tablecloth...
Magistrate Shen took Master Yu to see the school. The three rooms were spacious and bright. It was morning and no students came to class, but there were three children sitting in the first classroom.
Magistrate Shen nodded with satisfaction: "The second one from the left is Quanzi."
His son had never studied so seriously at home. This was the first time that he saw his son studying with such enthusiasm, which really surprised him.
He once again lamented that letting his son come to Dahe Village was indeed the most correct decision he had made in his life.
