Chapter 227: Invite a teacher
Tan Ling's tense face slowed down a little when she saw the sweet smile of the little disciple, and then she took the vial with ten fingers, lifted the lid and smelled it, there was a fragrant fruity smell, "Is it made by Doctor Zheng?" Why don't you have a pharmacy? ”
Wu Nuandong replied smartly: "Of course not, it's not on the market yet, so I brought it to the master!" ”
Sure enough, women love beauty, not to mention Tan Ling, who is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted to Wu Nuandong, as early as when the little disciple said that she came to visit her, she had no resentment, but she wanted to kill her pride in her youthful success, so as not to be rubbed by others in the future, it was better for her to give her some cold words first.
The female master's intentions are good, Wu Nuandong doesn't know, and if he knows, he can only smile bitterly. How can she be proud, she has a few taels of herself A long time ago, in her previous life, she was just a stubborn and cold ordinary person, otherwise in this life, she would not be so insecure and strive to use a disposable resource to protect the martial arts family tightly. It's not so much to protect the martial arts family, but to protect the people in this world who will love her, on the contrary, if the martial arts family treats her badly, how can she have this heart. To put it simply, it's just selfishness.
"Come in! Have you recently encountered a difficult problem to overcome, is it the piano or calligraphy and painting? Your calligraphy is self-contained, there is no problem with it, your interest in painting is never high, you can also rule it out, there are masters in chess to teach, you won't think of me, that's the qin? ”
Wu Nuandong is embarrassed, there has been some regression in the piano art recently, and the female master has analyzed it very much.
"This is one of them!" Wu Nuandong grinned, "I have other things to do with you, do you know that my family has built a private school in the village?" I'm here for the master of the private school! ”
Tan Ling immediately became focused, she was a strict teacher and a good master with a strong sense of responsibility, otherwise she would not complain that Wu Nuandong was not enterprising enough. Now I heard that the little disciple's family had set up a private school, and I was very interested.
"What, the master is not enough?" Tan Ling suddenly grasped the key point of the problem, and asked with some doubts, "It is said that it is not so, there are many scholars from poor families who are very knowledgeable about current affairs, and they can't afford to eat just by reading, on the contrary, being a master is always more glorious than being an accountant!" I shouldn't be unable to find people! ”
It's no wonder that Tan Ling is prejudiced against certain professions, this era has given too much arrogance to scholars, and too much prejudice against businessmen and business-related people, which is why Wu Nuandong has money and shops and supports his brothers to enter the academic examination in all aspects, including establishing the reputation of the martial arts family in the village. Just the wealth in the business field is not enough to gain a foothold in the here and now, take the imperial merchant Liang family as an example, the doormen and distant relatives all serve in the court, and even send the girl of the partial house into the palace to be a little guard, a little palace maid, trying to have someone to support and take care of the court.
Although the status of the merchant is a little better, unlike in the past, when he was not even allowed to own a carriage, it is only a matter of gradual improvement in recent decades. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, who knows whether the next emperor who succeeds to the throne will be jealous of the huge wealth of the merchant and change the order at the moment, because he is afraid of once again degrading the merchant to worthlessness.
"I want to find a master who knows how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc., even if the children in several of our villages can't pass the exam, they won't starve to death if they sell calligraphy and paintings on the street." Seeing that the female master's face changed, Wu Nuandong knew that he had touched the scholar's high heart, and quickly changed his voice, "Moreover, learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can not only cultivate sentiment but also increase knowledge, although it is a farmer, it is not better to be a farmer with vision!" ”
"You doll, the first half of the sentence is from the heart! Don't say it so nicely, I don't know you yet, a good talent is not to drill on mundane things! But she has great ambitions, and it's better than the woman who thinks about finding a good family all the time to entrust the rest of her life to a man and live a chaotic life! ”
Wu Nuandong was a little frightened, how could the female master talk more and more, even if the words were full of squeezing, but the concern in the depths was still quite obvious. It feels like a delicate wooden beauty, slowly, slowly coming to life.
Tan Ling, who was stared at by the little disciple very unnaturally, also noticed that she was a little out of shape, coughed lightly, and said with horizontal eyes: "What do you see, isn't it just for me to find a master for you?" I just praised you for being smart, and now you're stupid again!"
Wu Nuandong is embarrassed, why did she praise herself for being smart!?
"Stupid! Stupid! Seeing that Wu Nuandong was still ignorant, Tan Ling touched her smooth forehead with her fingertips, and there was no expression on her face, but she couldn't hide the disgust in her eyes, "What do you and me, master?" ”
Wu Nuandong suddenly realized, yes! The female master has a half-day class every day, and completely shifts his efforts to teach in the village, and Shangwen Private School has a great reputation because of a few talents, and a lot of students and masters have come to admire, and the female master is now much more leisurely. Sometimes it takes two or three days to take a half-day shift.
She smiled, leaned over and took out the coquettishness of the eldest aunt and the second aunt, and rubbed Tan Ling's arm without any psychological pressure, "Master, you are really good, I will definitely eat and drink well, so that you can live comfortably in our village, and you will be happier than anywhere else." Those bear children in our village will definitely be very obedient and not annoy you, if there is a heat that you are angry, tell me, I will teach them! ”
Tan Ling hid the smile in her eyes, and pretended to be strict, "There is one in my eyes that makes me angry, what do you say?" ”
"Good master, I'm good! I can play all the music you taught last time, and I'll play it to you! ”
Although she knew that the little disciple was changing the topic, Tan Ling didn't care, after all, she was the first child with the heart of accepting an apprentice, and she still loved her very much, and personally burned incense and cleaned her hands, seeing her solemn face, sitting down gracefully, the sound of the piano was like a spring, and her fingertips were like the wind, and she nodded with satisfaction, and then the whole space was filled with a pleasant sound like flowing water, and there were no distracting thoughts.
Xu is Wu Nuandong did not fall behind in his homework, and at a glance he knew that he was practicing the piano seriously, so he would have puzzled doubts, Tan Ling was in a good mood, and the next day he came to Gaomen Village in a carriage, and under the leadership of Wu Nuandong, he observed the environment of the private school, but he did not mention the matter of teaching, and when the time came, he was reflexive and wanted to leave.
Wu Nuandong was puzzled, could it be that she misunderstood the meaning of the female master? Didn't you say that it was good, teaching the children to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?
Relying on her young age, she stretched out her arms, stopped Tan Ling very rudely, and pouted dissatisfied: "Master, how can you tell me that you want to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you see those babies sitting at the desk early, looking at you with blank eyes, they really have the desire to study!"
