In the past few days, Er Ya has been waiting restlessly for Xiaohu's news, and she feels so difficult every minute!

On this day, someone from the family turned out to be Uncle Xiaohu, who came over with his eldest son with a straw rope.

"Uncle! Is there something wrong with you? "The second girl is very low, and the greeting is also very direct and impolite.

However, the uncle didn't care, seeing that the second girl looked very melancholy and seemed to be in a very bad mood, he asked carefully: "Nephew and daughter-in-law!" But what's going on at home? If there is a need for an uncle, just say it! ”

Erya shook her head and said in her heart, 'You can't help with this!' ’

When the uncle saw Erya shaking his head, he remembered his own affairs and said to Erya: "Niece and daughter-in-law, I heard that your family has collected a lot of mountain grass this year, and I want to pick a few to go back to the house." ”

The grass of Erya's family was all placed in the town and was not pulled to the house. Then he said, "Uncle, the mountains and grasses are still in the town!" You can use my ox cart to pull it! How many can you pick by people? ”

The eldest uncle's son was afraid that his father would refuse, so he was busy answering the next words, "Okay! Thank you, cousin! Dad, I'm going to set up an ox cart! "Saying that, I went to the backyard to pull the cow. He had followed his father to help with the work a few times, but he was quite familiar with the livestock of the Erya family.

Not long after the uncle and the ox cart left, a guard in the town, named Qin Sangen, ran over. Erya thought that she had sent a letter for Xiaohu's situation, so she hurriedly stood up and greeted her at the gate of the courtyard.

"Escort Qin, but the news for your host is here?" Erya asked eagerly!

Qin Sangen shook his head and said, "The lady of the East Family! Not really! Brother Sun went to the provincial capital to inquire about the news and hasn't come back yet! It's Mr. Curator in the Academy, let me come over and report something to you! ”

When Erya heard that it wasn't for Xiaohu and them, she was a little impatient, "What's the matter?" Go ahead! ”

Qin Sangen looked at the lady of the owner with a somewhat unhappy look. I didn't dare to be verbose, and said straightforwardly: "A person came here today, saying that he was here to pick up their children." Brother Wu was not there, but he was received by Mr. Curator in the school. He said the same situation as Brother Wu remembered in the book. ”

Erya interrupted impatiently, "Then let him take out the identity slip of the government and get it back after registering!" Do you still need to talk about it? ”

Qin Sangen hurriedly explained: "That! There's something to come! The two children were used to being here and didn't want to go back. Mr. Curator also said that the two children study very well, and if they are trained well, they will have no problem in taking the exam in the future. Then, that person wants to come to you. If you're willing to take him in, he'll go back and pick up the family! ”

Erya is a little confused, what does this refuge mean? Sold into slavery? So how can his child test his fame? Do not sell yourself into slavery. What kind of refuge is it?

Erya couldn't think of it, so she asked, "What does he do?" What are your strengths? How do you want to take refuge? ”

"Listen to his own words, his family is a craftsman, and he has been a carpenter for generations. I don't know about the rest! ”

Woodworker? The craftsman used it!

Erya has always wanted to get a knitting machine, but she hasn't fiddled with it yet! The eldest uncle and the second uncle got this stuff. The hair was all gray, and there was not much progress, and Er Ya thought that they were not specially trained carpenters after all, and they were indeed a little embarrassed. Later, more and more little daughters-in-law and big girls wanted to make money, and there was no shortage of personnel, so Er Ya asked the uncle and the second uncle not to worry about it.

If there is really a good carpenter who can be trusted, Er Ya still wants to get the weaving machine out, and there are many very advanced production tools. It also requires a carpenter and blacksmith to complete. If you want to open up land in the northwest, then semi-mechanization must be realized, and it will depend entirely on manpower. On the one hand, the cost is too large, on the other hand, it is not easy to manage, not to mention, and it is easy to be manipulated by people with intentions. It would be nice to have a team of craftsmen who can be trusted by yourself!

Erya thought that since she was in need, she should meet someone, so she said to Qin Sangen: "You let that person come over." I'll meet people and see if there's any trouble! If he causes something at home. We don't know either, do we? ”

Qin Sangen nodded again and again, "What the lady of the East Family said is true." We haven't thought of that yet! I'm afraid even Mr. Curator didn't think about it! ”

Speaking of this curator, it is also a story that is not big or small. The director's surname is Changyun, who was one of the few people in this county, and his family also has 100 acres of fertile land, shops in the county, and the court worships, and his family is rich. Although he is not an official, he is also respected everywhere!

It's a pity that the "long luck" didn't last long, and one year, his uncle fought fiercely with people and killed people. At that time, Mr. Curator had not been promoted for a long time, because they all thought that he might still be promoted to Jinshi, and they all wanted to befriend him. He took advantage of his own favorable conditions and paid for the relatives of the deceased, so that his uncle's death sentence was commuted to exile. Originally, this matter would have been settled as long as the deceased's relatives didn't make trouble, but his uncle was a dead man.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, there was an amnesty for the world, and the curator's uncle was also within the scope of pardon, and the curator was busy helping him get back from exile. Ordinary people who have suffered a major sin like this should live honestly. It's a pity that this person is not! He was not convinced that the family of the deceased took a few hundred taels of compensation silver, and ran to the people's house not only verbally humiliated and intimidated them, but also beat them! provoked people to be anxious, and would rather not compensate for the silver than sue him for his life!

Such a complaint, and it is a reversal of the case, it will be strict. If a case that has already been concluded locally cannot be retried on the spot, it must be handed over to a higher level for retrial. This is now involved in various crimes such as bribing court officials, bribing the victim's relatives, and interfering with the government's sentencing for his uncle's crime!

His fame was revoked, and he was never allowed to participate in various scientific examinations or be appointed by the imperial court. That is to say, even the gentlemen of the town and the government-run college can't do it! This is not the worst, the worst thing is that the curator couldn't stand the blow for a while, and almost died of a serious illness. In order to cure him and save his life, his wife sold all the shops and fields. The curator finally survived, but his wife was shocked, scared and tired, so it didn't take long for her to go!

The person who overturned the case failed to achieve his goal, and the reason is very simple, since he has received compensation from others, he should recognize this result. Now that he regrets that he wants to overturn the case, it is really hateful, and he has been beaten with 20 boards for the crime of disturbing the court.

Because the curator's uncle has been in exile for several years and has been pardoned by the imperial court, it is difficult to re-convict. In the end, he was imprisoned for six months on charges of intimidation and wounding!

Let's talk about the curator! After the family is broken and people die. The clansmen also hated him for not doing such a thing, and almost caused the rest of the family to study. In the face of his predicament, he was a cold sideliner, and no one reached out to help him. Fortunately, his son is eleven or twelve years old and can help him do a lot of things.

finally found Erya's school in the town, which is also the credit of his son. Because his son had heard about it when he was studying in the county. There is a school opened by the Wang family in Hepu Town, and the restraint for Mr. is quite high! And you have to lift people, don't show talents.

His son's name is Shi Jingxuan, and he is bold enough to find Hepu Town by begging alone. When he came to the town to go to school. At that time, there was only one Mr. Xiucai in the town school, and there were many children and few gentlemen, which was a difficult time for the lack of Mr.

When opening this school, Erya thought that these children were not the main purpose of taking the exam anyway, it was best to let them learn more survival skills, and if the children were willing to stay at her house to do things in the future, they would have to have a skill. If you don't want to stay in her house. If you go out, you can survive on your own, so you won't be too depressed.

So, she later miscellaneous. I invited the bookkeeper to come over and give them a course on accounting; asked the shopkeeper Chen to find an old housekeeper to teach the course of management; and let the widowed women have the best needlework, and serve as a gentleman to teach the girls to be red; The skills of roasting tea and farming were served by Xiaohu, and the early martial arts were also served by Xiaohu.

Although there are so many things to learn for children, literacy and reading are still the main thing, and there needs to be a better teacher to teach them. Just by a talented gentleman. On the one hand, it cannot be taught, and on the other hand, it is very likely to delay some promising children.

Because of these children. It is impossible for Erya to spend money to send them to the official school in the county, not that she is afraid of spending money. It's just that she subconsciously thinks that that would be too much.

If anyone really has the opportunity to become a big official or something in the future, they will definitely think: When the owner paid a lot of money to send him to study, he must have asked for something, and it is impossible to spend so much money without purpose and do something that is not beneficial to himself! Then the more you think about it, the farther it goes, and then it will be a bad thing, and good intentions will be thought of as malicious! If you have nothing to ask him all the time, once you ask him for something, it will cause a hundredfold and a thousand times disgust! Maybe you unconsciously give birth to a hatred that you don't even know!

But it is not easy to invite a person with real talent to teach, although the constraints are high, the really talented person may not be willing to come. Because the main purpose of this school run by Erya is not to take the entrance examination, the source of students is also uneven. Those who want to be all over the world will not come to such a remote town to teach for the sake of a little restraint.

When the child begged to come to the door, Mr. Xiucai was still very excited at first, but after learning about the child's father's situation, he didn't dare to agree. After all, his father is a tainted person, and no matter how high his knowledge is, he is not worthy of being a gentleman to teach and educate people. Later, I couldn't stand the child's pleading, so I had to ask the lady of the proprietor.

Erya didn't think too much, and felt that this child was powerful and would definitely make a difference when he grew up, but unfortunately due to the influence of his father, it may be impossible to take the official examination in the future, so it is better to let him learn some skills and stay at home to be a good helper in the future. He immediately promised the child to come with his father and a little sister!

Experiencing all kinds of blows and setbacks in life often creates a person, which is very reasonable here for the curator. Because he has fallen to the bottom of life, he has been able to understand many things that are said in books that he has not paid attention to.

In just one year after arriving at the school, with their own unique insights and explanations, the children's wisdom and thinking have been greatly opened, and the learning progress has exploded! Even Mr. Xiucai said regretfully about the curator, what a pity! Otherwise, the top two will definitely not be able to run!

Within a year and a half, Erya directly appointed him as the curator. The next year, there was a drought. He is also a really responsible gentleman, during the time on the mountain, there were no classrooms, no desks and chairs, he still led a group of children, standing and lecturing, gesturing and writing! I saw it a few times when Xiaohu sent food, and when I came back and told Erya, Erya was moved to tears, and was laughed at by Xiaohu!

After that, because Wu Fenggang brought back a lot of children and added a considerable number of teaching tasks, the curator alone took six classes, and he never rested from morning to night. Sometimes the hoarse voice can't speak, but others have never said a word about the owner's meanness, their own work, any complaints or invitations. The coaches and guards who came to spread the news and report the situation said that Erya knew that the curator was working very hard.

Since there are many children who are only living here temporarily, it is possible that their families will come to pick them up soon, and it will be superfluous to ask the husband to come back. Therefore, after Erya and Xiaohu discussed, they gave Mr. Xiucai and the curator an additional hardship subsidy of five taels per month, and other teaching gentlemen a hardship subsidy of two taels of silver per month!

The curator also often hears the second girl nagging, saying that there is a lack of craftsmen. Today, when I heard this man say that he was a carpenter, and he wanted to take refuge in the owner, he thought about informing the owner that maybe the owner really needed it! (To be continued)
