The next day, the snow cleared, and the warm sun shone on the snow, and tiny ice particles shimmered.

Xiao Yu felt very comfortable, warm, as if he was lying in his mother's arms when he was young, he was sleepy but felt that his eyes were bright and shining, and when he opened it, he found that it was a beam of sunlight through the small opening of the window, which shone on his eyes.

He hurriedly sat up, and found that he was covered with a thick futon, and the tattered gown on his body was gone, replaced by a green robe, the same as that worn by the aristocratic students.

He didn't remember exactly what happened last night, and vaguely remembered that he seemed to have been rescued.

Where is this?

The large room has a row of wooden beds neatly arranged, the beds are clean and tidy, and the quilts are all folded into the shape of tofu blocks.

Xiao Yu folded the quilt neatly, for fear of staining such a beautiful quilt, on the small table next to the bed, there was a bowl of porridge, and there was actually egg flower in it, which looked delicious, and there was a small dish next to it, and the two steaming buns in it looked delicious.

Xiao Yu was very hungry and wanted to eat, he swallowed his saliva, and finally took back the hand that had been stretched out. I'm afraid that only noble people can eat such expensive food, if you steal it, you will be beaten to death, and your own life will not be worth these delicacies.

There was a pair of brand-new black cloth shoes under the bed, which fit well at a glance, Xiao Yu looked at his black feet, hesitated, and did not put them on.

He walked out of the room barefoot, the floor was freezing on a snowy day, but compared to yesterday, this cold was nothing.

There was a large courtyard outside, and a few jujube trees that had lost their leaves pointed to the sky, and under the roots of the trees were a few snowmen piled crookedly, with strange shapes but very funny and cute.

Across the courtyard, there was the sound of reading on the opposite side, Xiao Yu didn't understand what they were reading, only heard: "One one gets one, two two gets four, three three gets nine, four forty-six ......"

This catchy reading sound, Xiao Yu inexplicably felt very pleasant and beautiful, and yearning, as if it was a heavenly voice, as if with an attractive demonic nature. A few years later, when Xiao Yu told his wife about this scene, he sighed with emotion, this is the voice of knowledge, so pure and beautiful, no wonder he walked over with a ghost.

Curiosity instructed Xiao Yu to walk over, he leaned on the window and peeked in, and found that dozens of teenagers of his age were sitting neatly inside, all wearing cyan robes, all of them looking attentive, and reading along with the gentleman on the podium one by one. Xiao Yu thought to himself, these are the sons and daughters of the nobles.

But shouldn't the gentleman in the academy be a bad old man with a long beard? Why is the gentleman on the podium a beautiful sister? Shouldn't the gentleman be dizzy and staggering when he is studying? Why didn't this gentleman shake his head?

Also, why is there a black board hanging on the podium, and the densely painted symbols on it are words?

Mr. is really beautiful, wearing a white robe like a fairy, Xiao Yu has never seen such a beautiful sister.

Xiao Yu leaned on the window and watched intently, and I don't know how long it took, an uncle came out of the yard and rang the gong. As soon as the gong sounded, the group of young men left the class in a swarm and ran to the yard to start a snowball fight.

At this time, Tang Xiaoshi noticed Xiao Yu lying on the window, and recalled that this was the child she saved yesterday, she just walked over, and the child knelt on the ground with a thud, knocked his head three times, and said, "Thank you, Mr. for saving your life." ”

This child is only more than ten years old, and yesterday he climbed more than 100 meters in the snow in order to save his sister, and his eyes are so bright, and the kind of resolute eyes that reveal can always touch the most sensitive string in people's hearts.

Tang Xiaoshi likes this child very much, she knows that this child will definitely have a great future in the future. If you don't die in a great calamity, you will have a blessing in the future.

She hurriedly helped Xiao Yu up and said, "I will take the three rings you just made as an apprenticeship." ”

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up suddenly, watery, apprenticeship? What does Mr. mean...... Can I study at the academy like other boys? Can you study as a little beggar yourself?

Without thinking about it, Xiao Yu knelt down in front of Tang Xiaoshi again, couldn't pull it up, and said, "It's thank you just now, and now it's apprenticeship." Three more kowtows.

Tang Xiaoshi asked, "What's your name?" ”

"The kid doesn't have a big name, the little name is Xiao Bi."

Tang Xiaoshi thought for a moment and said, "Since you don't have a name yet, then it's called Tang An, bless you with a safe life, okay?" ”

"Tang An, Tang An...... Mr. Xie gave the name. Xiao Yu said excitedly.

Tang Xiaoshi helped Xiao Yu up, found that he didn't put on his shoes, was very distressed, and asked, "Why didn't you put your shoes on?" ”

"The boy is a rough man, and he is afraid of getting his new shoes dirty."

What about rough people? Isn't a man as good as a pair of shoes?

For this kind of answer, Tang Xiaoshi was not surprised, the lives of the people at the bottom in the feudal dynasty were like mustard, this is not the most terrible, what is terrible is that they are under the shackles of feudal thoughts, they actually agree with their own humility, and subconsciously feel that they are untouchables, and feel that their lives are not worth a dime.

This yoke is horrific and cruel.

Tang Xiaoshi felt that if his academy wanted to produce talents, the first thing to do was to break this shackle.

Tang Xiaoshi put Xiao Yu's palm on her palm and said, "See? Tang An's hands are the same as Mr.'s hands, and Tang An's feet are the same as Mr.'s feet, so Tang An and Mr. are no different, Mr. can wear shoes, and Tang An can naturally wear shoes. Tang An felt that the children of the nobles were more noble because they wore more beautiful clothes, that is, a layer of tiger skin, and when Tang An grew up, if he had the ability, he would find that after taking off the tiger skin of the nobles, in fact, everyone was the same. ”

After listening to Mr.'s words, Xiao Yu thought about it, but he couldn't fully understand that in the days to come, he realized how meaningful Mr.'s words were.

Tang Xiaoshi said again: "Mr. guess, Tang An must be very worried about his sister at the moment." ”

Seeing through his mind by Mr., Xiao Yu nodded.

"Zhang Dagan." Tang Xiaoshi shouted towards the courtyard.

"Here." A crisp response, and then a round little fat man ran over, his little eyes were clever, and he said respectfully: "Sir." ”

"You take the token and take Tang An to the women's house to visit his sister." Tang Xiaoshi said.

"Yes, sir."

Zhang Dagan took Tang An back to the men's dormitory and put on his shoes, not forgetting to bring a token, only with a token can he enter the women's dormitory, you know, Tang Dong'er's little goblin is the most taboo is that the boy ran to the women's dormitory.

When Tang An saw his sister, the little girl was eating the buns with her head down, and the oil juice was stained with two little paws, and Sister Dong'er next to her kept persuading: "Little girl, eat slowly, it's all yours." ”

Tang An knew that his sister liked to eat meat buns the most, when she used to beg for food, when she passed by the bun stall, her sister was always reluctant to leave, knowing that her brother couldn't afford it, but she always said: "Brother, Niuniu will look at it for a while, just watch it for a while." ”

Niuniu noticed that someone was coming in, looked up and saw her brother, jumped out of bed with her legs, ran straight to her brother, came to her brother, carefully took out a bun from her arms, and said excitedly: "Brother eat, it's delicious, and it's hot." ”

Tang Dong'er also came over and said, "You are the little girl's brother, the little girl hid the bun in her arms, and she refused to take it out no matter how much she persuaded her, it turned out to be for you." ”

Tang An picked up Niuniu, at this moment, he finally couldn't help it, tears couldn't stop flowing out, after all, he was only an eleven-year-old boy, Niuniu wiped her brother's tears with her oily little hands, and said: "Brother doesn't cry, Sister Dong'er said that the students of the academy can't cry, and if they cry, they won't have buns to eat." ”

Tang An secretly said in his heart, Daddy, Xiao Yu has met the best gentleman in the world, Xiao Yu will definitely take care of Niuniu from now on, you can rest in peace.

……

……

Niuniu is a girl and wants to live in the girls' house, but with Dong'er to take care of her, Tang An is relieved. Out of the women's dormitory, Zhang Dagan took Tang An back to the men's dormitory, before leaving, Zhang Dagan suddenly said very solemnly: "Tang An, feel at ease to study in the academy, our husband is very special." You must think that I am a son of a nobleman, but in fact I am not, neither are the other students in the academy, I am just the son of a coachman, my grandfather is a coachman, my father is also a coachman, originally I thought that I could only be a coachman, but my husband told me that I can be the person I want to be. Now, I want to work hard and become a person like my husband, and I want you to do the same, and don't make me look down on you. ”

After that, Zhang Dagan changed back to the sleek little fat man, flicked the sleeves of his green robe, and left.

Tang An didn't know why Zhang Dagan said this to himself, but Tang An felt that Zhang Dagan was so reasonable.

Sir, she is really special.

……

……

In the afternoon, a group of rural peasant women gathered in front of Sanwei Academy, chattering and arguing.

It turned out that Tang Xiaoshi asked the students to go home after school and tell their parents that the academy buys a large number of plum blossoms, as long as seven or eight points of flowers are opened, three copper plates are a catty, the more the merrier, and those who come will not refuse.

This instantly became the hottest topic in the village.

The gentleman is a strange woman, and she needs Lamei to have her usefulness. The crops in Beizhuang grow averagely, but this plum can be seen everywhere, and it can't be cut all.

Mr. needs it, and Zhuang Li naturally wants to give full support, but these three copper plates are a catty...... Isn't this the person who looks down on our Beizhuang?

Mr. opened the school, so that the children in the village can study, and do not charge tuition, this is a great kindness, you must know that money has a day to spend money, but knowledge can be passed on from generation to generation. As long as there is a scholar in the family, the offspring can also follow the reading and literacy.

Moreover, as the owner of Beizhuang, the entire field of the village belongs to the husband, and when the husband saw that this year's harvest was not good, he even exempted the tenant fees of the farmers.

Such a good master, even if he beats ten lanterns, he can't find a second one.

Now, the gentleman just wants some petals, and he still has to pay, doesn't he look down on our crops?

Our croppers are not as good as those in the city, but they know how to repay their kindness, so the women in the whole village spontaneously formed an alliance, and there was no farm work to do in the winter anyway, so they volunteered to collect plums for their husbands, and they picked as many as they wanted.

The man on the village was also going to help, but his mother-in-law said that Mr. wants femininity, and you old men have rough palms and can't do this job, so they have to give up.

In fact, these peasant women do farm work all year round, and their palms are not much smaller than those of the family masters.
