In March, the spring flowers are blooming, and there is a thriving scene.

In the school, sunlight shines through the window and sprinkles on the faces of the children who are in class, making people feel slightly drowsy.

Shen Xi looked at the textbook, read an article aloud with his classmates, and slowly dozed off.

During this period of the year, the business of printing workshops and pharmacies is getting better and better, and Hui Niang has run the silver number very well, although the silver number has not yet begun to involve the deposit and lending business, but the exchange of silver money alone is quite profitable, which brings great convenience to the people and merchants in the city.

In February, the pharmaceutical factory was opened, employing a large number of men and women. Hui Niang asked Han Wuye and Song Xiaocheng to serve as the shopkeeper and foreman respectively, and even the female partner Su Lian, who used to be in the tea shop, followed Song Xiaocheng to Fucheng and was responsible for managing the female workers in the pharmaceutical factory.

“…… The spring water boat is like sitting in the sky, and the old flowers are like looking in the fog. Juanjuan plays butterflies over the idle curtain, and pieces of light gulls rush down. Yunbai Mountain is more than 10,000 miles green, and it is sad to see that the north is Chang'an......"

Mr. Feng Yan sat facing north, he suddenly stretched out his hand to signal the students to stop reciting, and then shook his head and recited a poem, and in a puzzled gaze, he explained, "You must learn to learn, and at the same time learn poetry and songs, these are the necessary qualities of a literati." Today, as a teacher, I will teach you poetry and rhyme. ”

Feng asked all the students to turn their directions to face him, and then wrote down the poem he had just chanted on a piece of paper for the students to circulate to each other.

After all, there is no blackboard in this era, and Mr. wants to teach knowledge mainly by pen and paper, but there is also a focus on this, mainly for middle-aged students, and the children who are learning will not talk about it, and they are also ignorant when they listen to it, and those students who are ready to take the children's examination have been exposed to the knowledge of poetry in the past few years, and now they are just reviewing the old and learning the new.

At the end of the circulation, Feng Yuqi suddenly said, "Now, all of you write the poem just now. See if you read it carefully. ”

This is difficult for most students, many of them have heard this poem for the first time, and it is even more perfunctory to circulate just now, just a few glances. How is it possible to write down the whole poem silently?

Shen Xi was listless, in the end, it was an ordinary ancient poem, he didn't need to hide all the knowledge in his stomach, he immediately picked up the pen and quickly wrote this Du Fu's "Little Cold Food Boat in the Boat" on the paper.

Feng asked the students to sign their names. Uniformity is in his hands. After Feng Yanqi read them one by one, his face was ugly: "Let you read this poem carefully, you are so perfunctory, when you went out on a Qingming trip last year, didn't the teacher teach you once?" Why are you who read the Five Classics not as good as those who read the University? ”

The last sentence seemed to refer to something, and many people looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.

In Feng Huaqi's principle of class division, there is no concept of first grade, second grade, or small class, middle class, and large class, and he divides the levels according to what students learn. Four books and five classics, the youngest learns the "Analects", above which is "Mencius", "The Mean", "University", and then learns the collection of notes, and the older ones begin to study the "Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Book of Rites", "Zhou Yi" and "Spring and Autumn", and so on, and when they are all finished, it is almost time to take the imperial examination.

As for history, geography, and humanities, they all dabble in the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", and those that are not in the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" can only be found and read by themselves. This is the year to learn. It is not easy, the scope of knowledge is usually very narrow, and many times you have to find a way to learn by yourself, and children from ordinary families want to get in touch with reading materials like "Three Hundred Tang Poems". Very difficult.

Feng Yanqi slowly deflated, he took out a piece of paper, nodded in approval: "Shen Xi, who reads "University", writes silently without mistakes, and the handwriting is neat, make persistent efforts. ”

For a while, many people's eyes fell on Shen Xi. They were quite jealous that Shen Xi could get Feng Yuqi's appreciation.

Feng Huaqi is rigorous in his studies, and he will not easily belittle or praise any student, and will not easily discourage students' enthusiasm, nor will he make students complacent.

Shen Xi has been enrolled in school for half a year, except for being praised by Feng Yanqi on the first day of his separate assessment, he has never had such an "honor" since then.

After that, Feng Huaqi began to teach some poems to the students of the upper age group to rhyme, and the middle and lower age groups were asked to memorize the poem Feng Huaqi had just written by heart.

Shen Xi was extremely bored and sleepy, and the classmate sitting in front of him turned around: "Hey, you idiot, you're really powerful, why didn't you see it before?" ”

Shen Xi is the youngest among these students who read "University", according to the principle of playing with peers, Shen Xi belongs to "high is not low", older than him is not welcome, and those of the same age have just learned and behaved extremely naïve, Shen Xi is unwilling to be with him.

In addition, Shen Xi has just entered the school for less than half a year, and he doesn't like to play very much, before class or around lunch, the time for a person to find a place to be in a daze passes, so I don't know when Shen Xi fell into the nickname of "nerd" among his classmates.

"This ...... Doesn't seem like there's anything to be proud of, right? ”

Shen Xi said with a wry smile, the classmate in front of him was two years older than him, named Li Yu, someone in his father's generation was a jinshi, and he is currently an official in Yunnan, and he belongs to a family of high-level intellectuals. Because of this, Li Yu never takes Shen Xi in his eyes on weekdays, with a sense of arrogance in his bones, and disdains Shen Xi, who was born as a businessman.

Li Yu smiled: "With your age, it's not bad!" Oh yes, I know there's a good place, I asked other students to go with me after school, what about you? ”

"I'm not going."

Shen Xi replied very simply. Li Yu, the children of the gentry, likes to tease their classmates the most, Shen Xi is not so stupid to go out with these classmates, maybe he will be taken to some hell place.

Li Yu was stunned and was about to get angry, just at this time Feng Yanqi came over, although the location near the window is relatively safe, but if it is found that he is not serious in class, he will have to be disciplined, Li Yu had to turn his head back.

After school in the afternoon, Li Yu led people to surround Shen Xi, but he didn't come to find fault and fight, but just pestered Shen Xi to ask him to go with them.

"Hey, I'm in a hurry to get home, I don't have time to play with you." Shen Xi knew that his small body couldn't beat these people, so in line with the principle of a gentleman not moving his hands, he stood there motionless.

Li Yu said: "Idiot, I'm going to take you to a good place later, you know, there are often little girls taking a bath and running around with bare butts, let's go over and steal their clothes." How interesting is it to see how anxious they look? Hahaha......"

Only then did Shen Xi know that this group of people was preparing to go to the outskirts of the city to play tricks on the river of the spring flood, and there were many small tributaries of the Tingjiang River around the city of Tingzhou, after the spring flowers bloomed. As the snow melts in the mountains, the rivers become more watery, and there are always women washing clothes or children playing along the rivers.

But if someone went down to the river to bathe in March, Shen Xi didn't believe it.

Playing tricks on little girls is what little boys like to do. They are ignorant about the affairs of men and women, and feel that bullying little girls is a very fulfilling thing.

"Hey, nerd, are you going?"

Li Yu finally threatened viciously, "You go, we will call you when we play in the future, if you don't go, don't say that we are bullying you." ”

Li Yu raised his arm, as if to show how strong his physique was.

But in fact, because of family genetics, Li Yu is simply a weak and unscrupulous little body of a scholar. Those with thin arms and thin legs are not at the same level as Wang Lingzhi, who is committed to practicing martial arts.

"My mother told me to come home early after school." Shen Xi lowered his head and said.

"You idiot, you haven't grown up yet, hurry up and go home to your mother for milk." Li Yu no longer cared about Shen Xi, and hurriedly went to the outskirts of the city with a few classmates.

Shen Xi shook his head helplessly, if he was a good and competent student, he should inform Mr. at this time, these students ran to the river that was flooding, and it was easy to have an accident.

After thinking about it, Shen Xi decided that it would be better not to talk too much. The words of the complaint. The starting point is good, but it will make his husband and classmates think that he has a scheming, which is not in line with his previous plan to be moderate in the school.

Back at the pharmacy, it was still a busy scene. Guests coming in and out stuffed the house. Shen Xi walked around casually, but saw a young man who was brightly dressed but slightly dusty, standing in front of the screen that Xie Yun'er was diagnosing and treating people's diseases, and said something bitterly.

“…… Sister Xie, you let me go in and see you, okay? You said that I came all the way from the capital. Is it easy? If you want, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing for you and me to live together and live together, and not ask about the affairs of the world? If you don't speak, I'll lift the screen......"

Shen Xi saw that the situation was not right, and was about to step forward to stop it, but he heard Xie Yun'er, who had always been gentle and virtuous, shouting: "Get out!" ”

This coquettish shout startled the people who were waiting outside the screen to see a doctor.

Brother Gongzi was stunned, his face was helpless, and he continued to ramble: "Sister Xie, I really haven't changed my mind about you. It was my father, he forced me to withdraw from the marriage, although I tried my best to persuade but to no avail, didn't I come to you on purpose......"

Shen Xi probably heard what he meant, and it turned out that the one in front of him was the one who withdrew from Xie Yun'er's marriage and made the Xie family shameless to gain a foothold in the capital.

After all, this is Xie Yun'er's private matter, Shen Xi doesn't know it in detail, but he also understands the pain in Xie Yun'er's heart, no matter how much this boy explains, I'm afraid it won't help.

"Xiaolang, come here, don't you see that your Aunt Xie is annoying?" Zhou came out from behind the counter and pulled Shen Xi over, but his eyes were fixed on the screen.

Shen Xi pretended to be puzzled: "Mother, what's the matter?" ”

"Why do children ask so much? Let's ignore other people's family affairs and go to the backyard to do our homework! ”

Shen Xi responded, walked back with his schoolbag, and when he finished his homework, he wanted to go out to see if the man was gone, and Hui Niang also got the news and rushed back from the Chamber of Commerce.

"Sister, what's going on? It's Yun'er's sister's former ......" Hui Niang returned to the pharmacy, called Zhou to the backyard first, and asked tentatively.

"Hmm." Zhou nodded.

Hui Niang sighed: "Originally, I said that for a while, for Yun'er's sister Zhang Luo's marriage, in the end, she is not young, and it is time to get married." But this matter is a mess...... I really don't know what the person who came thinks, I withdrew the Xie family's marriage at the beginning, and now I am still forcing the door, isn't this sincere to make Yun'er's sister difficult to be? ”

Shen Xi smiled and said, "Auntie, that person seems to have come over behind his back and wanted to elope with the Xie family's sister, not to marry the Xie family's sister seriously." ”

Zhou scolded: "Bastard boy, you know elopement at a young age? Remember, you are not allowed to get involved in your Aunt Xie's affairs! ”
