Chapter 027: True Loyalty
However, he said that Ji Ning got the decoction and medicine fee compensated by Ji Jing, and achieved his goal, so he didn't stay long, and immediately left with He An and Yu Ling.
went home smoothly, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, He An knelt in front of Ji Ning.
Before Ji Ning had time to bend down to help, He An had already kowtowed three times in a row.
"Uncle An, what are you doing here?" Ji Ning hurriedly helped He An up and said.
He An had tears of gratitude in his eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Young master, thank you for seeking justice for me." I, I ......"
"Uncle An, I'll be angry if you do this again." Ji Ning said with a smile, "You and I are nominally masters and servants, but in essence we are uncles and nephews. I've always treated you as my own uncle, but didn't you treat me as my nephew? ”
"No, no, no, I've always treated you as a relative." He An hurriedly said, although he was excited, he didn't dare to admit that he regarded Ji Ning as a nephew.
Ji Ning smiled: "That's right." You are my Uncle An, you have been bullied, I have stood up for you, and I don't need to thank you. ”
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot." Ji Ning said, took out Ji Jing's money bag and stuffed it into He An's hand, "This is Ji Jing's compensation for your soup and medicine, you take it." ”
Ji Jing's money bag contained thirty taels of gold and two hundred taels of silver, which added up to five hundred taels of silver (in the Great Yong Dynasty, one tael of gold was exchanged for ten taels of silver). In addition, Ji Jing's money bag is also very valuable, made of fine brocade fabric, and the surface is embroidered with gold thread, and it is worth at least one hundred taels of silver if it is sold.
With so many silver taels, how could He An ask for it, he immediately stuffed it back into Ji Ning's hand and said, "Young master, I can't take the money, you took the risk to get it back." I'm only a little injured, and I'll be better in two days, so what do I need to pay for the medicine? ”
"You take your money, what's the excuse?" Ji Ning said, "Could it be that Young Master Ben can still take a fancy to this bit of silver?" Take it, don't shirk. ”
Stuffing the money bag back into He An's hand, Ji Ning ignored He An and walked to the house with his hands in his hands.
He An stood in place, holding the money bag in both hands, and was moved to tears again, looking at Ji Ning's back, his loyalty unconsciously changed from loyalty to his former master Ji Ling to true loyalty to Ji Ning.
In addition, he did not plan to keep these hundreds of taels of silver for himself, but quietly used them to subsidize the daily necessities of the family.
Yu Ling followed behind Ji Ning, and her beautiful eyes looked at Ji Ning's long and straight back deeply, and her heart was full of a sense of security.
In particular, Ji Ning's heroic, strong, brave and resourceful image of bravely entering Ji Mansion to settle accounts with Ji Jing was deeply seared into her heart and could never be erased.
…………
On the second day, the rising sun rises in the east, Sanwei Academy.
Thirty students stood in three rows in the middle of the courtyard, facing Ji Ning, who was dressed in neat Confucian clothes.
I saw Ji Ning clenching his right hand into a fist, half raising his fist at the level of his right ear, and the thirty students followed Ji Ning's movements.
"Rich families don't need to buy fertile land, there are thousands of millets in the book." Ji Ning shouted.
The thirty students immediately shouted neatly: "The rich don't need to buy good land, there are thousands of millets in the book." ”
The voice is uplifting, full of strength and longing.
"You don't need to raise a hall to live in peace, you have your own golden house in the book."
"You don't need to raise a hall to live in peace, you have your own golden house in the book."
……
……
"If a boy is determined to live his life. The Six Classics read to the window. ”
"If a boy is determined to live his life. The Six Classics read to the window. The thirty students shouted with all their might.
After shouting the slogan, Ji Ning's eyes swept over all the students in front of him, and saw that they were all flushed and excited, and their eyes shot a strangely bright and longing gaze.
Ji Ning couldn't help but nod secretly, the effect was very good, and decided to shout slogans every morning before class in the future, brainwash the students, invigorate their nerve cells for the day, and let them devote themselves to literacy and writing with the greatest enthusiasm.
Another day passed, and finally arrived on the sixth day of the official opening of the Sanwei Academy, that is, the first day of the official class of the second batch of students.
The tutorial is exactly the same as that of the first batch of students, but the first batch of students were arranged by Ji Ning to classroom C, and different batches of students were taught separately.
After three days, the second batch of students also entered the state completely, and the effect was remarkable.
On the afternoon of the ninth day, Ji Ning supervised a round of classrooms C and D to ensure that the students were diligent and focused on learning and practicing calligraphy, and then turned around and entered classroom A.
"Ji Gongzi." Immediately, three or four men in the classroom greeted him with anticipation on their faces and saluted and shouted to Ji Ning.
The four men ranged in age, from their early twenties to their forties, but they all wore uniformly new Tsing Yi robes.
Ji Ning bowed his head and said with a smile: "The four gentlemen don't need to be polite. Let's all sit down and talk. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." The four men politely excused themselves.
They are just subordinates of the Qin Mansion, and Ji Ning is Qin Yuanyuan's honored guest, how dare they be on an equal footing with Ji Ning?
Ji Ning saw that they refused to take their seats, but he was not reluctant. Although he has no sense of hierarchy, he is not deliberately unconventional.
"You are all sent by Miss Qin, of course your literacy level can be trusted." After Ji Ning sat down in his chair, he said to the four men lined up in front of him, "Now we are going to talk about duties and remuneration. ”
"No." The four men replied expectantly.
Ji Ning continued: "Your main responsibility is to teach students literacy and writing according to the tutorial I wrote, and you can't say much else, let alone teach students any nonsense such as benevolence, righteousness, morality and so on. Do you understand? ”
"No!" The four men immediately responded in unison.
They are only literate, they have no knowledge, and they naturally can't ask for Ji Ning's request.
"That's the main responsibility. As for the other minor and detailed duties, I will write them down on a piece of paper and have one copy for each person. ”
Ji Ning continued: "The following is the reward. In line with the principle of more work and less work, your bundle is divided into two parts, one is the guaranteed bundle, 300 wen per month, and the other part is the commission bundle. ”
"As for how to get paid, I've written it all here, you can take it and take a closer look." As he spoke, he handed over the prepared commission details.
The four men respectfully accepted the commission details, and after reading them carefully, they couldn't help but show joy.
The monthly guarantee of 300 wen is just a small amount of money, and the commission is the big one. The restraints provided by Ji Ning far exceeded their usual wages, and the work was easy and decent.
Of course, it must not be compared with the real gentleman, but if it weren't for Ji Ning providing the opportunity, they would not be able to be a gentleman for the rest of their lives.
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
I saw these four men kneeling at Ji Ning's feet excitedly, kowtowing gratefully and shouting, "Thank you, Master Ji!" Thank you Ji Gongzi! ”
