Chapter 415: Shame
Meng Youfa's voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderbolt that exploded in everyone's ears. Everyone looked at him with different expressions.
Tong Dachuan and Guo Xi looked at the calm and waveless face in front of them in surprise, and they didn't expect that someone who always had a kind smile would say such sharp words? It's so relieving! The corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.
And the two brothers, Han Da and Han Wu, were much more direct, looking at the people in front of them with admiration. In their hearts, they have always admired Meng Steward. A simple sentence can make the other party speechless, both relieving anger and hatred. Probably except for Steward Meng, there is no one else.
And Chen Hansheng and the people around him are not so good-looking. The person next to Chen Hansheng was Wang Xin's father Wang San in the school, his face turned red at this time, and he looked at Meng Youfa embarrassedly. He felt that Meng Youfa's words slapped him hard, making him embarrassed. His family's conditions are not very well-off, but he wants to let his youngest son get ahead and change the fate of the family in the future.
Once, he passed by the small courtyard of the second entrance and overheard Lang Lang's reading. He couldn't help but pause, and after listening for a while, he heard the sound of martial arts practitioners inside. My heart moved, knowing that there might be a school here. I just don't know who drove it here, and I don't know how high the threshold is here.
A few days later, he heard that the widow of the Huang family had sent her son to the school. The Huang family couldn't take out the bundle, so the widow of the Huang family went into the school to do laundry and cleaning, and did some chores to replace the bundle.
His heart couldn't help but come alive. It just so happened that Chen Hansheng came to look for him and wanted to send his kid Chen Mingliang to study in the school. He inquired with the porter, and a tael of silver a month was sufficient. You can also stay in the school at noon every day for a meal. It's a good thing you can't find even with a lantern! He remembered that the old Xiucai in Lotus Village, teaching a student, he also needed two taels of silver and a piece of pork belly!
He didn't hesitate, and immediately knocked on the door of the school with Chen Hansheng to explain his intentions. Uncle Liu in the concierge smiled and asked some questions about the ages and preferences of the children of the two families, and why they wanted to be sent over to listen to Mr. Lecture's lectures.
After the two of them answered decently, Uncle Liu in the concierge didn't say much, just smiled and asked people to go back and wait for news. On the afternoon of the third day, Uncle Liu came over and said that he would take the child over and take a look, and if he passed the gentleman's examination, he could go to school.
This good news made the hearts of the two families that had been hanging for the past two days finally fall to the ground steadily. They took out the best clothes pressed at the bottom of the box and asked the children to change into. After changing, I combed my bun again. After looking up and down carefully, and seeing that there was nothing wrong, he was both excited and apprehensive and took the child to the school.
They waited restlessly in the porter, and the child was led to the gentleman. When they came out, the two children's eyes were shining and they were smiling. The widow of the Huang family who took them out smiled and said to them, "Sir has agreed to let them go to school, you go back and clean up, and come over tomorrow." ”
The four of them forcibly suppressed the excitement in their hearts and left the school happily. When they returned from school on the first day, both children were very excited and chattered non-stop. "That yard is really big, it can be as big as the two of us in the yard. There is a place to read and write, and there is also a place to practice martial arts and learn to ride and shoot. ”
"We had a good lunch. There are rice, steamed buns, and even sugar cakes. Those things are hard to eat and filling. ”
"That dish was also very delicious. Aunt Huang gave me such a large piece of bone, and I ate it all in three strokes. And chicken. ”
"The bedding on the beds in the school is new, thick and soft. And the scent! ”
In short, everything in the school is fresh and beautiful, and it is fascinating. Chen Hansheng's heart was also alive at the same time, he thought, since the school is so good, it is better not to take the restraints, and learn from the widow of the Huang family to do some chores in the school. You can save not only the food at home, but also a tael of silver. At the same time, the people of the Wang family also think so. The two families coincided and came to the gatehouse of the school again.
The one who received them, of course, was Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu smiled and let the two of them into the gatehouse, and after listening to the intention, he shook his head with a smile and refused: "Thank you two for your support to our school, but there are enough people in the school." For the time being, no human staff is required. ”
Wang San didn't say much, he didn't have much hope, but now that he was rejected, he didn't think much about it. But Chen Hansheng's thoughts were different, he felt that the school just wanted to earn a tael of their family's silver. So, he said indignantly: "Hmph, what is it?!" Don't you just want to earn us a tael of silver? When our house is bright and prosperous, see how I clean them up. ”
I'm not afraid of no good words, I'm afraid that there are no good people. After listening to Chen Hansheng's words, Wang San's heart also had a pimple somewhat. Later, I heard from his children when they came home that their husband was lame. Also, the original students in the school were all from Zhuangzi. In other words, those people were some house slaves.
This made Wang San's heart even more unsettled. After Chen Hansheng found out, he also hurried to Wang's house, and the two sat together, complaining again. Although their family is not wealthy, they are all innocent families. It's all one level higher than those minions. How can you get them to study together?! Isn't that insulting?!
Both families are willing to let their children drop out of school, but they are reluctant to accept the favorable conditions in the school. They always wanted to wait and wait, and when the right opportunity came, they would pick up the child. It's just that I didn't expect that the delay came and went, and I went to the township test. There was news in the academy that everyone was going to try it.
Looking at the basket brought back by the child, I didn't expect that all the test items were prepared in the school. That uncomfortable heart finally found some comfort. On the day of the appearance, the girl she had never met sent a carriage to pick people up, so that they didn't have to squeeze around in the crowd. I thought that today, there would be the same treatment.
But I didn't want to, the girl who seemed to care about the school very much, didn't care about the grades of these children, and didn't send someone to look at the list. Being squeezed around, I am inevitably a little irritable. Therefore, when Chen Hansheng complained, he also echoed.
