At the moment, there are only two things left, the first thing is to teach Lu Langzhong, that is, to finish what he can teach, as for how much Lu Langzhong can absorb, that is his business. It is estimated that this matter will take more than half a month.

Another thing is to set up the school, and the pharmacy guy who delivered the goods said that he had already helped to invite a gentleman in the county seat, and he would come over in the next two days.

This time, it has become a little easy.

Leaving a good doctor for the town and a school that can make the children literate and read can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the town. As for the kindness of the Xiao family, he can only repay it on Xiao Nier, but it is also the most headache for him.

"It's polished, you write it to me, and you're going to give me the first one. Xiao Nier sharpened the ink, tested the concentration with hair, and said with a smile.

Besides, he took out a roll of rice paper and spread it on the table, without a paperweight at hand, and simply pressed it with an oil lamp and inkstone on both sides. Then start the pen with ink.

He still recited the thousand-word text, and did not mix his own penmanship, since he wanted to write imitations for students, he naturally had to try to be as similar as the original post, even if it was similar.

According to him, since he wants to make a copy, he must make it the size of a book, so that the students can put it on their desks and copy it, and it must be covered with a layer of transparent oiled paper, which needs to be specially made, and it is also made in a paper mill by a pharmacy, and it will be sent in a few days.

Today is just a test pen, he didn't cut the paper, it's still a complete piece of paper. He chose to write a thousand-character text in thick ink and color, so that the characteristics can be highlighted and the students can easily grasp when copying.

After writing a piece of paper, I memorized the full text of the thousand-word text on the paper, and I felt that I had a good mind and had not felt for a long time. In the past, when I was at home, there was not a day when I didn't write, almost like eating and sleeping, and I was a month younger here, although I often wrote, but writing prescriptions and practicing calligraphy were still two different things.

"It's so well written. Xiao Nier's eyes lit up, and she was ready to wait for the ink to dry, and then take it and stick it on the wall of her room.

"Master, are you practicing calligraphy?"

Lu Langzhong walked in, glanced at the paper, and asked with a smile.

Xiao Nier hurriedly and vigilantly pressed the corner of the paper with both hands, lest Lu Langzhong ask for it.

"Well, the patient is done?" he asked, nodding.

Now he doesn't have to put on any shelf, and he is also a full master, but he doesn't look like he is commensurate with his age, which is very weird.

Grandpa in the cradle, grandson on crutches, this is very common, and it is not surprising. But the fifteen-year-old master, the nearly sixty-year-old apprentice, how to look at this matter makes people feel numb. The reality in the town is not strange at all, in their eyes, it has nothing to do with age, it is a fairy among the gods, and they don't care about the years at all.

"After reading it, this is a prescription, please take a look at it. Lu Langzhong raised his hands above his head for the prescription he had written.

Besides, now I'm numb, the old man is the old man, there is no way, fortunately, the days of being an "old man" are numbered, and I will recover my juvenile body when I walk out of this town.

He browsed through the prescriptions, nodded, and then said a few things to pay attention to in terms of the compatibility and dosage of several of the herbs, and then said, "Today I am going to write, I will not lecture, you should go back and rest early." ”

Lu Langzhong bowed and saluted: "The disciple retires." By the way, master, there is a poor show outside who wants to see the master, and he said that he was introduced by the pharmacy to be a tutor. ”

"What? Didn't you come in two days? ”

And rejoice. Although he is very prosperous here, and he especially likes the folk customs in the mountains, it does not mean that the people outside are the same as him, after all, this is a closed mountainous area, and it is not easy to hire a teacher.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Xiao Wanli's voice outside: "This gentleman, please go in." ”

But there was another voice: "No, I haven't written a prayer yet." ”

"You don't need to worship iron or copper, you just go in. ”

While speaking, Xiao Wanli pulled a person in, and then said to him: "This is the teacher introduced by the pharmacy, and he just arrived here." ”

Besides, looking at this person, I was stunned.

In an instant, he seemed to see Fan Jin coming out of "The Outer History of Confucianism", or he saw the Ming Dynasty version of Kong Yiji, but his legs were still intact. The clothes on this person's body are tattered, and the overstretched is not enough to describe, and the shoes under his feet also show the heels, where is this to teach and educate people, but it seems to be a refugee fleeing the famine.

Lu Langzhong saw it in his eyes, and he was also surprised: This pharmacy is too unreasonable, and it can't deal with people like this. You are looking for a teacher, not a beggar.

"May I ask which one is Doctor Xu, who is surnamed Fan Minghong. Although this man was in tattered clothes, he saw that he was a scholar when he opened his mouth.

"In Xia Xu Ming, Mr. Fan turned out to be hard. Besides, he hesitated and replied.

"This gentleman, have you walked thousands of miles to get here, and your shoes are worn out?" Xiao Nier kicked the heel of the man's shoe, her eyes strange.

"This ...... It broke down half a month ago and hasn't been repaired. The man's face turned red and he said abruptly.

Xiao Ni is completely convinced, if she doesn't accept it, she still wants to mend this shoe? Don't even think about mending this shoe, it's all rotten.

"Nier, find a set of clothes for Mr. Fan first, by the way, the one I made a few days ago. There is also a pot of hot water, please take a bath and change clothes, and then talk about it is not too late. ”

Besides, he didn't look down on this person, but this scene reminded him of his original situation, freezing in the middle of the night, shivering and coming out of the mountains, his clothes were still intact, and the miserable situation was also quite scary.

Interestingly, this person happens to be surnamed Fan, so he can't be any relative of Fan Jin. He thought about it. Hey, why doesn't he have the surname Kong. Thinking about it, I was happy.

The people who came saw the situation and had a resolute attitude, although they were young, the people around them looked like gods, especially an apprentice in his fifties standing beside him, full of majesty, and he didn't dare to support anything, so he honestly followed Xiao Wanli out.

"Master, this person still thinks about it, our town is no longer short of talents, and it will not be lacking in this one. Lu Langzhong smiled disdainfully, with a look of shame to be with him.

"After talking about it, people should not be disgraced. ”

"What the master said is extremely true, and the disciple is speechless. Lu Langzhong hurriedly bowed down and confessed.

Besides, his head is still full of question marks, and the number of readers he has contacted is not small, and there are also people from poor families, but if this is a destitute reader, he has really never seen it.

After all, Fan Jin is a character in the novel, and the so-called novelist's words are mostly exaggerated. In those days, it was impossible for the family to go to school without some land assets, and the poor family had to provide for an idler, especially a man, who had to work as a laborer.

Mencius said that a husband does not plough or suffer from hunger, and a woman does not weave or suffer from cold.

It means that if a man does not plough the fields, someone will starve, and if a woman does not weave, someone will freeze. Although the view is inevitably too extreme, in the age of agriculture, it was more or less so.

Even if you don't talk about scholars, they are ordinary people, just like people in small towns, who belong to the poor lower class, but they can also survive with food and clothing, there must always be two sets of coarse cloth clothes, and there are rice urns at home to store grain. What's more, here, even if there is no food, there are still wild vegetables and game to satisfy the stomach.

In a word, you can live if you have money, you can live without money, and each has its own way of living, at least you can get by.

It's no wonder that when Xiao Nier saw this new guest, she couldn't help but show a surprised expression, thinking that he had traveled thousands of miles to come. Xiao Nier is telling the truth, not lying in vain.

After an hour, after Mr. Fan Hong took a bath, he changed into his clothes, which still fitted, but fortunately, the clothes at that time did not pay attention to the size and fit, but the beauty of leniency. This is the result of the changes of several dynasties, and the clothes of the Han and Tang dynasties should be praised and bred, and it is good to be fluttering when walking.

In an aesthetic sense, the clothes are wide and appear calm, but they are too wasteful of cloth. Therefore, there have been pawn shops in all dynasties, that is, they specialize in pawning and selling old clothes to avoid waste.

In ancient times, a set of clothes could be worn for decades, and good fur could be passed down from generation to generation, and in later generations, worship-style clothing quickly emerged.

The Industrial Revolution brought about a boom in cloth production, not only the number of tens of thousands of times increased, the variety of fabrics is also strange, and the production of clothes is more and more economical fabrics, where all the places that can be exposed are exposed, what bikinis, thongs are popular for a while.

The ancients simply could not have imagined that in the 21st century, in the garbage bin, it is possible to pick up almost brand new clothes without difficulty, and throw away those that are outdated, and the trend is greater than everything.

It is said that Xiao Nier felt very uncomfortable when she saw this person wearing the clothes that were in condition, and she personally measured the size of the clothes, and then asked someone to buy them from the ready-to-wear store in the county seat. Besides, he hasn't worn it yet, so he picked up a bargain.

Besides, when I first arrived in the town, I really didn't have anything to look at, I didn't even have a change of clothes, and after I had some silver taels on hand, I repurchased a few sets of clothes, single, clipped, cotton, and shoes, socks, and headscarves.

"Sir, please have tea. Besides, he invited him to sit down, and then poured a bowl of tea and placed it in front of him.

"Don't dare. Fan Hong bowed, then took out a letter and handed it to him.

Besides, when I opened the letter, it turned out to be a letter from the owner of the pharmacy who had always "admired" him for a long time, and most of the letter was full of long-term admiration, urging him to meet in the provincial capital as soon as possible, but there was no mention of inviting him to sit in the main store.

The last sentence shows that the letter holder is his hometown Xiucai, although the family is extremely poor, but he has a good character and profound knowledge, so he is recommended to apply for the job here.

Besides, it's still a little confused, since it's a person sent by the head office, it shouldn't be so shabby. Even ordinary people can change their fellow villagers into clean clothes, shoes and socks, not to mention the owner of a pharmacy in Fuxiong Province, which makes people go on the road, which is unreasonable.

He suppressed the doubts in his heart, and then smiled: "Life in the mountains is hard, I don't know if Mr. can get used to it." ”

Fan Hong hadn't spoken yet, and Xiao Nier didn't want to listen.
