When Shen Xi arrived at the school, he found that the atmosphere in the classroom was strange, and many students who lived on campus were whispering, as if something had happened. And none of Li Yu's classmates who went to the river to watch the little girl take a bath with yesterday's class came.

Until class, not only did these people not come, but even Mr. Feng Yuqi was nowhere to be seen...... Feng Huaqi found someone to pass on the message and let the students review their homework by themselves.

At noon, Shen Xi inquired among his classmates, only to learn that there was an accident when a few classmates went to the river to play yesterday, and someone was swept away by the sudden torrent, and he was only found downstream this morning, and the person was already out of breath.

Li Yu and others were detained by their families and temporarily prevented from going to school, and the families of the dead students wanted to hold Feng Yanqi responsible, and it was said that the matter had reached the government.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, Shen Xi has seen a lot of people in his two lives, even he himself has died once, but this kind of thing suddenly happened around him, the classmates who were still alive yesterday are separated by yin and yang today, Shen Xi suddenly felt depressed.

Then Shen Xi didn't have any energy at all, he was confused for most of the day, and after a long time in the afternoon, Mr. Feng Yuqi walked into the classroom, his face was pale and haggard, and it seemed that he didn't feel good when he suddenly encountered this kind of thing. In any case, when students go to the river to play, he is responsible for poor supervision, but he is the only one in the whole school, and the matter still happens after school, and he can't manage it if he wants to.

After the deceased's family sued the official, the county government attached great importance to it, and the county magistrate was promoted to ask about the case. The matter is actually very clear, so in the end, it is just a sentence for Feng Yanqi to return the bundle of the student he received before, and the matter is completely over.

"Shen Xi, come and look for me after school."

When school was about to end, Feng Huaqi suddenly said a sentence that made Shen Xi's heart "chuckle", could it be related to Li Yu asking him to go to the river with him yesterday?

After school, Shen Xi went to the door of Feng Yanqi's house next to the school with anxiety, knocked on the door, and a woman opened the door for Shen Xi.

Shen Xi saluted respectfully: "Shi Niang'an." ”

"Come in, your husband is waiting inside."

Shi Niang is a simple woman. Because Feng Yanqi lives next door to the school, she helps clean up many of the students' houses, and has a good relationship with the students.

Shen Xi arrived inside and found Feng Yanqi sitting behind his desk. Holding the book in his hand, Shen Xi saw at a glance that the four words "Kindergarten Qionglin" were on the cover, but they were the books printed by his own printing workshop at the beginning of the year under the supervision of Ye Mingsu of Ninghua Zhi County.

Shen Xi didn't expect that so soon, "Kindergarten Qionglin" had already spread to Fucheng.

"Sir."

Shen Xi saluted. Quan Dang reminded Feng Huaqi that he was coming, because Feng Yanqi read the book very seriously.

"Oh."

Feng Yanqi put the book down, glanced at Shen Xi, and nodded slightly, "I've been paying close attention to you recently, not to mention that you have made rapid progress with hard work, I want your parents to come tomorrow." ”

Shen Xi heard that the first half was quite good, and the last sentence was like being choked by ****. Parents can understand that learning is not good, and what does it mean to learn well to call parents?

"Sir. I ......"

"I invited your parents to come this time, I want to discuss with them and let you transfer to the "Five Classics", although you are younger to read the "Five Classics" at your age, but you are very talented, several times I have assessed the content of the "Four Books", you have completed them very well, if you have studied the "Five Classics" earlier, you can get in touch with the content of the imperial examination." Feng Yanqi's eyes were filled with appreciation and encouragement, "But you always have to ask your parents what they mean first." ”

Shen Xi was relieved when he heard this. "Yes, sir, the student knows." ”

"You go back."

Feng Yanqi waved his hand, "Yesterday they asked you to go to the river to play." You didn't go, and that's right. But if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, remember to tell your husband, do you know that prevention is better than prevention? ”

Shen Xi promised again, and always felt that there were a little more vicissitudes between Feng Yanqi's words.

This time, the biggest blow to Feng Yanqi was not the dead students. Rather, many people choose to distance themselves from him...... Li Yu and others, who went to the river together yesterday, all submitted a request to withdraw from school today, and under the influence of this, some students in the class just now successively proposed that they would not go to the school tomorrow, and from the analysis of various signs, it is estimated that the number of students who will drop out of school tomorrow will increase, which makes Feng Yanqi have serious doubts about his teaching and educating people.

Shen Xi doesn't care so much, for him, reading is just a springboard for him to enter the imperial examination, in this era, if he hangs the name of a scholar, how knowledgeable he will seem to be a matter of course. Isn't there a saying that Xiucai knows everything about the world without going out? That's what it is today!

But if it is an ordinary white ding, even if he speaks and writes insightful words, others will either not believe him, or treat him as a monster.

And the imperial examination is the only opportunity in this era for the children of ordinary people to enter the upper class. Other ways, such as military service and business, will be despised even if they can get a certain social status.

In the era when scholars ruled the world, what was admired was that "everything is inferior, only reading is high".

When Shen Xi went home and told Zhou about it, Zhou smiled, she couldn't wait to spread the word about it and let the people in the entire Fucheng know.

After being happy, Zhou was a little worried: "Xiaolang, I heard that someone in your school fell into the river and drowned yesterday, do you know it?" ”

Shen Xi nodded, how could he not know each other if he wanted to say that he was studying in the same classroom? But he didn't know it very well, and he didn't even say a word. Shen Xi didn't dare to tell the Zhou family about Li Yu asking him to go to the river with him yesterday, so as not to worry the Zhou family.

"Stinky boy, you don't want to go to dangerous places, you know? You don't know, you were naughty when you were a child, jumping up and down, and when you were six years old, you almost fell off a peach tree and fell to your death, and your mother hugged you and cried for days......"

Shen Xi couldn't help but sigh when he heard it, he didn't inherit the memory of the original body owner, a six-year-old doll, he didn't have much impression of the world, but he still remembered that injury, after all, it was the origin of his coming to this world.

"Han Wa'er, hurry up and do your homework, tomorrow your father and I will find time to go to the school even if we are busy. You're going to have to work hard in the future. ”

Zhou was very happy, and took advantage of the gap in the pharmacy that no one was patronizing, and told Xie Yun'er the good news.

Xie Yun'er has been sullen for the past two days, where do you have the heart to listen to this? But she still nodded politely and smiled, but behind her smile was full of worry.

The first thing Hui Niang did when she came back in the evening was to discuss with Zhou, it turned out that she had also heard about Shen Xi's drowning, and wanted to discuss transferring Shen Xi to another school.

“…… Mr. Feng values Han Wa'er very much, so he transferred to another school, for fear of disappointing Mr. Feng's expectations. Zhou thought that Shen Xi would be able to "skip a grade" to study again tomorrow, and he was reluctant to let Shen Xi transfer to another family.

Hui Niang said: "I heard that even the government was shocked by this incident, and many children of large families are ready to leave the 'study and study school', and we are not sorry for Mr. Feng, just send more bundles of thanks." ”

"Nope."

Shen Xi was reading the "Notes on the Four Books and Chapters and Sentences" in the room, carefully pondering Zhu Zi's scientific ideas of "the unity of heaven and man", "the unity of psychology" and "the unity of mind and nature", and heard the dialogue between Hui Niang and Zhou, hurriedly walked out and refused loudly, "Mr. Feng is very good to me, and he teaches very well, I just adapted to his teaching method, and when I go to other places, I will definitely not be able to keep up, what should I do if I delay my studies when the time comes?" ”

Seeing Shen Xi's insistence, Hui Niang had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Originally, it was none of her business where Shen Xi went to study, but being able to take the initiative to bring it up shows how much she cares about Shen Xi. Although Shen Xi appreciated it in his heart, he was still a little reluctant to let him leave Feng Yanqi's school. Feng Huaqi's character and teaching style, Shen Xi agrees very much, such a gentleman is a real mentor and helpful friend.

The next morning, Shen Xi went to the roadside tea stall very early to wait for Hong Zhuo, and after a long time, he thought that Hong Zhuo would not come, and when he was about to leave, he saw this prince of the capital with two dark circles under his eyes, his face was haggard, and he staggered.

“…… Little brother, you're right, I went back yesterday and thought about it all day, if I really want to marry the sister of the Xie family, I really don't know how to support her family. I don't have a lot of coils, so I knew that I would have brought more from home. Hong Xun's face was full of self-blame.

Shen Xi pouted and said, "Young Master Hong, haven't you heard of sitting on a mountain and eating empty?" Without a source of livelihood, even if you have more silver, sooner or later you will still squander it, but as long as you have a stable income, even if it is small, you can accumulate a lot to feed your family. ”

Hong Xun looked at Shen Xi with a little disbelief: "Little brother, see you." ”

"What does Hong Gongzi want to do to make a living and support his family?" Shen Xi squinted at Hong Xun.

Hong Xun immediately shook his head again and smiled bitterly, shaking his head honestly: "Could it be that I and the sister of the Xie family are destined to be inseparable after all?" ”

"Since this is the case, Hong Gongzi should be ready to set off and return to the capital to be your eldest young master. Tingzhou Mansion is not the place for you to stay. Shen Xi said coldly.

Hong Xun patted his chest: "I am a dignified man, for the woman I love, how can I bow my head for a small setback?" I...... I decided to stay for a few days, think it through, and then ...... I also want to talk to the Xie sister-in-law alone, or she ......"

The rhetoric turned into laughter.

"Or maybe she doesn't need you to feed at all, and in turn she can rely on her medicine to support you, right?"

Shen Xi glared viciously at Hong Xun, who lowered his head in shame, "I just said that a man should have ambition, is this what a good man should think?" She is a woman, and she has to come out to make money to support her family, but you are here to dream of staying with her, why can't you implement it? ”

Hong Xun sat there, drooping his head, like a defeated rooster, without morale.

"Little brother, you are young and understand a lot of big truths, so tell me, what can I do to be with the Xie family's sister?"

In the end, Hong Xun found that his head was not as good as a child, so he had to ask for help from Shen Xi in front of him.

Shen Xi said disdainfully: "Sister Xie wants a responsible man, you first look at your own appearance." When you figure out how to make money, come back to me, and I'll be ready to give you ideas. If you are willing to put down your body and work as a coolie, you can also make a few bucks...... Don't you see the people on the riverbank, they are tired and tired and just to feed their families? ”

Hong Xun was shocked: "You...... You let me go to work as a coolie? Cough...... Even if I did, I wouldn't have that body. ”

Shen Xi sighed in his heart, in this world, only reading is high, but it is useless to be a scholar. (To be continued.) )
