Chapter 11: Kneel
Yan Ming's hand is indeed powerful. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This year is the first year that the emperor has ascended the throne in the true sense of the word.
At the beginning of his tenure, Comrade Liu Che and Comrade Liu Xiaozhu issued an edict to promote virtuous and virtuous people.
This edict has moved many readers. Including Dongfang Shuo is the beneficiary of this edict.
The edict of virtue and virtue can be regarded as opening a door for the common people to enter the court. As long as you have the ability and talent, you can go to the emperor's house to work.
Yan Ming teaches literacy for free, as long as it is time to plant in spring and harvest in autumn, it is not too much to ask for help from each family.
Although the Yan family is a merchant who pours grain, they also have land, and there are quite a few of them. With his reputation in Maolingtun for many years, even if there is no Yan Ming's actions, he can still arouse these neighbors. Spend a little more money!
But spending money is not the same as this feeling, and the effect is not the same.
Since this kind of words have been released, Yan Ming has to be prepared.
If his school is not opened, it will be done, and if it is to be opened, it must be formal.
Regarding Yan Ming's desire to open the school, Yan Shan disagreed with the black line on his face.
Yan Shan knew that Yan Ming's decision was a good thing for the Yan family. However, this rabbit cub did not discuss with himself in advance, so he announced it directly in front of the villagers.
One is to make him, a father, faceless, and his old face is a little dull. Second, Mr. Huang misunderstood, as if the father and son had done a good job.
"This rebel, who knows a few words and can write a few sentences, dares to sell it privately. Is this still worth it? Yan Shan was angry on the surface, but he was quite proud of Yan Ming for making articles that everyone was addicted to.
"Laifu'er, this kid has the courage you had back then, and now his ability to read and write has long surpassed you. Why don't you let your child get a school? The old lady of the Yan Chen clan raised her eyebrows.
His grandson, showing his face like this, said that he would make this school up.
"Mother, it's not that I won't let him do it. It's really going to kill his sharpness. If you continue like this, you will get into trouble. Yan Shan also knew that Yan Ming's ability was no problem to be a school.
After many years of running business, he understood a truth, and made money with harmony. You can't be too sharp, you must understand this truth, which is the capital of your life.
The old lady of the Yan Chen clan rubbed her dragon head cane on the ground, a little smile appeared on her kind face, and said: "The young eagle spreads its wings and hates the world, it's right to let him keep a low profile, but you remember it to the old body, you can't bully my grandson." ”
Yan Shan nodded, and said with a smile: "Mother, in fact, I have cleared out the school." As for the west wing, the three big houses, all for your grandson to toss. Do you think that's enough? ”
"Not bad, not bad. Our family has been passed down for three generations, and these family businesses will not be his. You give him some space earlier, let him toss and toss, and you know that life is not the taste. The old lady was very satisfied with her son and grandson.
"I'm going to kowtow to our Yan family's ancestral hall. I think it was the manifestation of the ancestors, so that my grandson would be on the rise. The old lady of the Yan Chen clan got up slowly.
Yan Shan hurriedly helped the old lady and said, "My son will go with you." ”
As soon as the two of them walked out of the back hall, they heard the sound of boiling in the front yard. Yan Shan frowned, said goodbye to the old lady, and hurried through the hall.
At the same time, Yan Ming was drawing sketches in the room, and the rough paper was filled with his pen and ink, but it was not words.
Just as he was thinking about it, Yan San hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Oh no, Childe, at the door outside, Mr. Huang ......"
Yan Ming slowly put the ink-stained brush in his hand on the inkstone, picked up the wet linen cloth from the side, wiped his hands briefly, and then said indifferently: "What are you panicking about?" Does Mr. Huang still have the face to make trouble? ”
Seeing Yan Ming's indifference, Yan San scratched his hair with his hand embarrassedly, and said brightly: "It's not that I came to the door, but, but that I want to come to worship you as a teacher, and now I am waiting outside the door, and the villagers are also surrounded by him, pointing and pointing." ”
Yan Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled dumbly: "Let's go, go out and have a look." ”
Yan Ming didn't expect that Mr. Huang was still a believer, so he immediately got up and walked out.
Yan Ming has a little affection for this Mr. Huang, and he doesn't want to let such an old Confucian be so embarrassed. After all, I will be neighbors in the future, and I can't say that the Yan family is bullying people when I look down, and I can't let people say that the Yan family is bullying.
In this year, word of mouth is very important.
Especially Yan Ming plans to make a fortune in a muffled voice, and he must not let the Yan family have a bad reputation.
When I came to the door, I saw Mr. Huang kneeling straight at the door of Yan's house.
The old man was really anxious, he didn't care about the pointing and pointing of the people around him, he just knelt straight and straight. Behind him, two and a half children followed, kneeling upright, the same child who spoke for Mr. Huang that day.
Seeing this situation, Yan Ming didn't say a word, took three steps and made two steps, walked out of the door of Yan's house without saying a word, and knelt down directly in front of Mr. Huang.
At this moment, the people who watched the excitement around were stunned.
Mr. Huang was also stunned for a moment, his eyes were round and open, and he forgot to say all the words he had thought of.
"Mr. Huang, hurry up. What is there to say in the house. Yan Ming knelt on the ground and said sincerely.
Asking an old gentleman who has lived in Maolingtun for a long time to kneel for him is uncomfortable in his heart. Being a man can occasionally be clever and a little scoundrel, but he can't be without a moral bottom line.
Mr. Huang was taken aback for a long time, and then said: "The old man promised to lose." Today I have come to apprentice. ”
When he said this, his face turned red to the base of his neck.
Yan Ming knelt down and walked a few steps and said, "Mr. Huang, the kid and your bet are just a moment of nonsense, and they can't be taken seriously." At your age, the kid can't be your teacher, and you have something to say in the house. ”
Having an old gentleman kneel in front of him is no different from slapping himself in the face in front of the villagers.
When the residents of Maolingtun originally had a lot of complaints about Yan Ming, and even doubted whether the Yan family could open a good school, Yan Ming's kneeling made the residents of the entire Maolingtun have a new understanding of Yan Ming.
Such a child who knows how to advance and retreat, and knows the etiquette, can't be wrong.
With the "Hongmen Banquet" with just the right start and turn, even if Yan Ming is worshiped by Mr. Huang again and again, it is not too much.
But the people came out on their knees to greet Mr. Huang.
This is the generosity of the Yan family.
Many villagers thought to themselves and nodded their heads. Some people even began to go home and no longer watch Mr. Huang make a fool of himself. This can be regarded as helping the Yan family in disguise.
All this is the impact of Yan Ming's kneeling.
"When the Yan family school is completed, my kid will send it over." The eldest elder Liu in the east was chatting with his neighbor Aunt Niu while walking.
"Uncle Liu, when your Huzi goes, don't forget to call my little Cui'er. Although Cui is a girl, she should be literate. "Aunt Niu's Xiaocui is no longer small, it turns out that they are all hiding from market scoundrels like Yan Ming.
But since that day, the handwriting of an article has made Xiao Cui'er unforgettable for Yan Ming. No, I heard that the Yan family was going to open a school, so I didn't work as a female worker, but I had to learn to read and write.
When Yan Ming said that he invited Mr. Huang into the house, the villagers who watched the excitement dispersed one after another. They all thought that Yan Ming's kid was good, but it seemed that he had mistaken him.
Yan Shan, who was originally going to come out to see the situation, hid behind the door of the front hall and saw Yan Ming's every move clearly.
Seeing Yan Ming kneeling down, he said that he would invite Mr. Huang into the house, Yan Shan's old face showed a smile of relief, and he scolded with a smile: "This rebel has finally grown up, don't worry about Lao Tzu." Today's one is good, and it's wonderful. ”
"Haha-" Yan Shan smiled comfortably and walked towards the ancestral hall behind, maybe he really should really burn incense for his ancestors.
