After resting at home for five or six days, Gu Sanniang finally returned to work in the embroidery village after getting well, and most of the national color Tianxiang screen she received before was not completed, and it was not long before the day of handing over work, Gu Sanniang put a lot of effort into catching up with the work.

After working so hard for more than a month, the screen was finally handed over on time, and it happened that it was time to release the monthly money, Gu Sanniang received the monthly money, and sold the network accumulated at home, and with the surplus money in her hand, Gu Sanniang felt a lot more relieved.

On this day, Gu Sanniang came home from work, and saw that Qin Lin and Shen Zhuo were working together to hang a plaque on the east chamber, and Aunt Qin and Zhu Xiaoyue were standing in the courtyard watching the excitement, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is this going to do?" ”

Zhu Xiaoyue said: "Shen Juren is going to open a museum to teach. ”

Gu Sanniang was stunned, she went out early and returned late these days, and only learned today that he was going to open the museum, so she felt a little surprised, just at this time Shen Zhuo looked at her, and he said to Gu Sanniang calmly: "I am a scholar, and I don't have any ability, fortunately, I also read a few books, and now that the museum is open, I come to teach and educate people, and the two of them earn a few taels of silver to support their families." ”

Gu Sanniang There is a Lishan Academy not far from their county, but the academy is extremely high, and the idlers can't take this bundle of gifts, there was a Xiucai in the county who opened a school before, but I heard that Xiucai won the lifting this year, and the value has risen, so he will no longer open the museum, but concentrate on staying at home and waiting for the top prize.

After a while, Shen Zhuo and Qin Lin jingled to hang up the plaque, and Zhu Xiaoyue looked at it for a long time and asked, "What words are written on the plaque?" ”

Qin Lin replied: "There is no book hall. ”

Aunt Qin didn't understand, she laughed and asked, "Since it is a school that teaches people to read, why is it called a school without a book?" ”

Qin Lin went to school when he was a child, and he also read a few books of the Four Books and Five Classics, and he said to her mother: "Your old man doesn't understand, this is what Mencius said, 'It is better to believe in the book than to have no book', teach people not to believe in the book." ”

Including Gu Sanniang, several women who have not read do not understand the meaning of this name, but it is always a good thing for Shen Zhuo to open a museum, far from it, and wait for another three or five years, the little brother of the Qin family will grow up, and it is naturally very convenient to study at home.

After Shen Zhuo officially opened the museum, Gu Sanniang thought that there would be students coming to study soon, but who knew that after several days, he had not received a single student, Gu Sanniang was a little worried about him, but Shen Zhuo was as steady as Mount Tai, reading books every morning and teaching Yu Ge'er to read in the afternoon, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

One day, Gu Sanniang was chatting with Mo Xiaohong when she was working, and when she heard that her brother-in-law's family wanted to send her brother to school, her heart moved and she asked, "I'm afraid there are a lot of bundles this year, right?" ”

Mo Xiaohong replied: "No, the bundle ceremony of two taels of silver a year, plus the annual pen and ink, is that her family background is quite passable, and it is also a lot of expenses." ”

The embroidery girl next to her heard this, and they all said, and someone said: "That's right, in the past, Sun Xiucai opened the museum, and he received less gifts than Lishan Academy, but now he has taken the museum." ”

"That's also a helpless thing, it's a joke to open a museum when you are a lifter, isn't it a joke?"

Someone laughed, she looked at Gu Sanniang and said, "It's not that every old man who lifts people has no worries about food and clothing, I heard that the new tenant of Aunt Qin's house is an old man." ”

Gu Sanniang lowered her head and embroidered a stitch, and replied lightly: "Who said it wasn't." ”

"If you want me to say, what's the use of studying, just be fed and clothed." There was an embroidery girl who said while working.

When Mo Xiaohong heard this, she pricked the needle in her cuff and said angrily: "What you said, if it is useless to study, why should those children of rich families be sent to school?" ”

The embroidery girl sneered and said, "You have seen a few rich people, and you dare to say that?" ”

Mo Xiaohong raised her chin and replied: "I don't know those rich people, but you haven't watched the drama in the play, that young lady always has to be matched with an amorous scholar, when did you see that the young lady admires illiterate rough people?" ”

These words made everyone laugh, Gu Sanniang also laughed and embroidered, and when everyone gradually calmed down, Gu Sanniang said to Mo Xiaohong: "I remember that your sister has been married for a few years, so the little brother is not very old?" ”

Mo Xiaohong said: "I was just four or five years old, my family had saved some money in the past few years, and I always wanted to grit my teeth for a scholar to come out. ”

Gu Sanniang put down the needle in her hand, she thought for a while, and said, "I have an idea, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

"My good sister, you have always been a cheerful person, when did you spit out like this?" Mo Xiaohong looked at her, and she said, "You just have to speak, if I can solve my sister's family's urgency, I can only thank you." ”

Gu Sanniang thought for a while, and then said: "You know, the new tenant of Qin Daniang's house is a good man, his family is average, and he lives with a child. ”

Mo Xiaohong had already seen this old man before, and when he heard that he had opened the museum, he asked, "I don't know how he is educated?" ”

Gu Sanniang pursed her lips and smiled, she said: "What you said stopped me, I don't know a few big words, how can I know his knowledge, but I thought selfishly, even if I can be admitted to the exam, I can't go wrong with knowledge." ”

Mo Xiaohong couldn't stop nodding when she heard her words, Gu Sanniang said again: "Your sister's little brother is young, Lishan College is more than 20 miles away from the county, if you live in the college, I'm afraid that your sister may not be at ease, if it is a daily pick-up and drop-off at home, it will delay the adults in vain, Qin Daniang's house is in the county, and Shen Juren's silver is not expensive, if you are afraid that Shen Juren is not good at learning, it is better to follow him first, and when you grow up, you will go to school in Lishan Academy." ”

For a while, Mo Xiaohong listened to Gu Sanniang's idea, she asked a few more words about Shen Juren's temperament, Gu Sanniang laughed, she lived in the same courtyard with the Shen family's father and son, and she had never seen him angry, even if he was occasionally naughty, he had always been kind and angry to reason with the child, which made Zhu Xiaoyue envious, saying that it would be good if Qin Lin, the father in the future, would be the same as Shen Juren.

The two sisters talked for a long time, and Mo Xiaohong silently wrote down the matter and prepared to go back to discuss it with her sister.

Within a few days, Mo Xiaohong's brother-in-law Wu Changgui really took the little brother of the family to Qin's mother's house, all of whom were from a county, so Qin Lin directly took Wu Changgui into the East Chamber to introduce him.

At that time, Shen Zhuo was teaching Brother Yu to practice calligraphy, and when he saw a man with a child about the same size as Brother Yu'er, he had already guessed a few points in his heart.

Qin Lin was on an errand in the county government, although he ate the official meal, he had a good conversation with Shen Zhuo, and he said directly to the point: "Shen Juren, needless to say, you are afraid that you have already seen it, this is Brother Wu, a carpenter who lives in the east of the county, and there is a little brother at home who wants to study with you." ”

Shen Zhuo's school hall has been open for several days, but there has never been a student who has come to the door to apprentice, Aunt Qin will also help to inquire if there are any children who want to go to school when they visit the door on weekdays, but not everyone can afford to go to school, today finally came one, Qin Lin is also happy for him in his heart.

"What's your name?" Shen Zhuo asked the little brother beside Wu Changgui kindly, the little brother's face was red, and he hid behind his father with a twist, his father Wu Changgui was anxious, slapped him on the head, and scolded: "Mr. asked you!" ”

"There's no need to rush." Shen Zhuo glanced at Wu Changgui, he beckoned to the little brother again, and said, "Come to me." ”

The little brother quietly looked at Shen Zhuo's eyes, he saw that Mr. was smiling, and his voice was indescribably gentle, and finally he was no longer shy, he slowly walked in front of Shen Zhuo, and stammered: "Back to Mr.'s words, I ...... My name is Dabao. ”

Shen Zhuo asked again: "Have you ever taken a scientific name?" ”

Dabao didn't know what the scientific name was, so he looked at him in confusion, and Wu Changgui behind him saw this, and hurriedly said: "Not yet, if Mr. can afford him, please help you get one." ”

Shen Zhuo smiled, he asked Dabao a few more words, this little brother can answer, and some can't, at first Wu Changgui saw that his child couldn't answer the question, he was anxious, and rushed to reply instead of him, but Shen Zhuo smiled and looked at him twice, then Wu Changgui immediately stood aside in a proper manner and did not dare to interject at will.

After a long time like this, Shen Zhuo saw that the child was still smart, so he said to Wu Changgui: "Let the child come over tomorrow." ”

Wu Changgui was overjoyed in his heart, he made a deep gesture towards Shen Zhuo, this man was honest and honest, he didn't say anything beautiful, and he couldn't stop thanking him, he said: "Thank you Mr. for accepting this kid, if you have a place to find me in the future, please ask Mr. to speak." ”

Qin Lin on the side teased him: "Full of nonsense, what place can people use you?" ”

The man scratched his head and smirked, and hurriedly offered a bundle of silver, in the basket was a live chicken, a fresh fish, a bag of hazel mushrooms, dozens of eggs, and a bundle of silver wrapped in red cloth.

On the same day, as soon as Gu Sanniang entered the courtyard gate, she saw Xiao Yezi and said excitedly: "Mother, Uncle Shen has recruited students." ”

Gu Sanniang had already learned about this from Mo Xiaohong, she laughed lightly, and replied, "That's really good." ”

As she spoke, she saw Shen Zhuo standing at the door of the East Chamber, the two nodded to each other, and Shen Zhuo said, "Gu Niangzi came back just in time, and I have to ask you for help today." ”

"What's the matter?" Gu Sanniang had some doubts in her heart, and she didn't know what he wanted to find her.
