Mr. Guo's name is Guo Yanqi, a native of Taohua Town, Mizhi County, although he has the fame of Xiucai, but he is not a member of the school, that is, he cannot receive Lu rice from the government every month, he has participated in several township examinations, all of which are named Sun Shan, three years ago he went to Wu's School as a teacher, and he was finally able to support himself and his family.

Because the township test has been repeatedly landed, Yan Qi's mental state has not been very good, quite a bit of self-pity, when he was a teacher, the attitude towards the students was also very cold, three years have passed, none of the disciples he taught passed the county examination, if he didn't have the reputation of a student, he would have been blasted out of the Wu Academy.

Shaanxi is barren, suffered from natural disasters and man-made disasters for several years, the people can not survive, they are forced to fall into the grass, some places are in chaos, so that many families with good conditions begin to worry about their own safety, to prevent bandits from robbing, they pay more attention to the surrounding situation, not particularly concerned about the study of the children of the family, plus Mizhi County has not appeared for many years two Jinshi, but also let some large families gradually cool down, thinking that their children can not get ahead through study.

Under such circumstances, Yan Qi was able to live in the Wu Academy.

The income of the tutor is meager, but he can finally get by, more than the upper and lower than the bottom, and he can't guarantee that his family will have enough to eat, and he won't starve to death, it is precisely because of this that Yan Qi persevered in the Wu Academy, while teaching students, and worked hard to review his homework for a year to prepare for the next township exam.

In terms of teaching, Yan Qi hardly put much thought into it.

When a student meets such a gentleman, he can only consider himself unlucky.

Wu Fanhui's appearance surprised and shocked Yan Qi.

Although he didn't spend much effort in teaching, Yan Qi knew very well that from the day he became a tutor, he had to abide by the rules, and if no disciple could gain fame for many years, his reputation as a tutor would be completely ruined, and he would not be able to raise his head or gain a foothold in the future, unless he himself passed the Juren or two rankings of Jinshi during this period.

Besides, Yan Qi has already thought about it, if he can't get high school in the next township exam, he will decisively resign from the position of teacher of the Wu Academy, and there is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world.

The future of the tutor is closely related to the fame of the student, if there are many students who can take the exam, then the tutor is famous, not only will be sought after by many scholar families, but also can get some help from the student, so the vast majority of the tutor is dedicated, even if they want to participate in the township examination, they will also give their own money in teaching.

Most of the teachers in the south are like this, and they are universally respected.

Respecting teachers and valuing education is the rule and tradition of the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately, in the relatively barren north, the status of the teacher is not so optimistic, just imagine that it is always difficult to produce talents locally, the scholars and gentry are naturally resentful, they look down on the teacher in the north, the family with conditions, would rather spend more money, invite the teacher from the south, and will not hire the teacher in the north.

Under the influence of the general climate, Guo Yanqi will not work hard to teach, but he can't be particularly blamed.

But after all, Yan Qi is a talent, he studied hard, passed the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination, and has an extraordinary self-confidence, believing that he will succeed in doing other things, including being a school teacher, although he has been teaching for three years, no student can pass the county examination, and Yan Qi does not think that it is his own problem, but he does not have a prominent student.

Wu Fanhui's performance made Guo Yanqi see hope, and he wanted to seize this hope.

Yan Qi had doubts in his heart, that is, Wu Fanhui had another husband, otherwise it would be impossible to behave like this, but Wu Fanhui did not admit this matter, and Yan Qi would not deliberately pursue it.

Wu Qingchao has also read, but according to Yan Qi's understanding, Wu Qingchao is not capable of educating Wu Fanhui well.

As for the old man in Ma'anshan Village, he is also a Xiucai, but he will not teach Wu Fanhui specifically, otherwise when Wu Fanhui comes to the Wu Academy to go to school, this old man will definitely come.

Several conversations with Wu Fanhui made Guo Yanqi think about it for almost a day, during which he went to another classroom and gave a few words, until the end of school, he was in the room and let the students disperse by themselves.

Judging from Wu Fanhui's attitude towards speaking, Yan Qi felt that this young man was different, with an attitude that was neither arrogant nor humble, and his words were reasonable, and he really wanted to envelop this young man, I am afraid it was not so simple.

The ancestral hall quieted down, Yan Qi walked out of the room, and slowly walked towards the back of the ancestral hall, he didn't know if Wu Fanhui was in the room, he just wanted to go over and take a look.

Before he reached the room, Wu Fanhui had already walked towards him.

"Hello sir."

"Well, why didn't you go out to eat."

"There are also a few wheat cakes, ready to be eaten in the evening, have you eaten them?"

"Not yet, in this way, although you are not my student, but you are finally in the Wu Academy, today is the first day of class, and you have just come to the county seat, you are not familiar with everything here, let's go out to eat something together, you can also be familiar with the county seat, some rules in the school, I can also tell you slowly."

In Mizhi County, Guo Yanqi has never invited others to dinner, and this is the first time he has invited him.

"Thank you, sir, Mr. hasn't eaten yet, it should be a student who invited Mr. to eat."

"Don't talk about that, let's go out."

Yan Qi turned around and walked towards the outside of the ancestral hall, with an unquestionable attitude, but his eyes had always been focused on Wu Fanhui, and Wu Fanhui's attitude surprised him even more, he was still not arrogant or humble, and walked out of the ancestral hall, and there was only half a step between him and him.

Although he has been in the county seat for more than three years, Yan Qi is not familiar with the restaurants and inns here, he rarely goes out to eat, firstly, he does not have so much money, and secondly, he is not willing to delay the time of hard work, so he walked to the street, but was a little overwhelmed.

"Sir, the student knows about an inn, but the conditions are a little rudimentary."

"It's up to you, it's better to have any."

At the door of the inn, the guy was still waiting for the guests, and after seeing Yan Qi and Wu Fanhui, the guy's face showed a smile, and he was finally a guest, but after the guy saw Wu Fanhui clearly, his face still changed slightly.

Wu Fanhui didn't care, and followed Guo Yanqi into the lobby.

The guy just shook his head, and came to greet him with a smile on his face, business has not been very good for a while recently, and the shopkeeper has been complaining and sighing from morning to night, and it is a good thing to have guests to eat.

The art of ordering food has been the same for thousands of years, that is, the Venerable One ordering food.

"A plate of broad beans, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, two bowls of millet porridge, and two wheat cakes."

Yan Qi was not polite and ordered directly.

When the guy turned around and was about to leave, Wu Fanhui spoke.

"Another plate of braised beef and a pot of good wine."

The smile on the man's face was even brighter, the braised beef was the best dish in the store, and the price of a plate reached thirty yuan.

After the guy left, Wu Fanhui spoke again.

"Sir, the student heard that the braised beef in the county is very good, and I want to try it."

Yan Qi's face was slightly red, although there was an explanation in Wu Fanhui's words.

Wu Fanhui didn't particularly care about Yan Qi's thoughts, in fact, ordering food is an invisible contest, judging from Yan Qi's style of ordering, his life must be embarrassing, and it is also said that there are a total of sixteen students in the school, even if each student's bundle is 200 Wen, a total of 3,200 Wen, Wu Fanhui's Shu is 500 Wen, plus a total of 3,700 Wen.

Three thousand seven hundred wen money is equivalent to about three taels of silver, these three taels of silver, Yan Qi can not get all of them, including some banknotes and inkstones, in the end, Yan Qi can get no more than two taels of silver.

Meals and frugality, right to supplement, mainly to solve the problems of life.

With such a low income, you need to support your family, and at most you can barely maintain your expenses, and you definitely can't be chic.

People are poor and short-minded, horses are thin and long-haired, just from this point of view, it is impossible for Yan Qi to have big ambitions.

Picking up the wine glass, Yan Qi suddenly understood.

"Wu Fanhui, you come to the Wu Academy to study, I once gave you half a year, thinking about your performance, now my mind has changed, you and I agreed on a month's time, if a month later, you can recite the "Hundred Family Names", "Three Character Classics" and "Thousand Character Text", I will teach you the Four Books and Five Classics."

"The student is grateful for his encouragement, and the student will do his best."

Yan Qi nodded slightly and began to drink heavily, he hadn't touched wine for a long time.

Wu Fanhui didn't drink much, after all, he was only thirteen years old.

He didn't eat much beef on the table, and most of it was eaten by Guo Yanqi.

Not very hungry, Wu Fanhui doesn't have much appetite, eating food seems to be very gentle, drinking wine is also a sip, his appearance was clearly seen by the guys in the inn, the guy was puzzled, the last time the teenager came to eat, the meat that couldn't be eaten was taken away, and it looked like a child from a small family, always calculating life, but the performance of today's meal did not have the atmosphere of a philistine at all.

After settling the bill, Wu Fanhui helped the slightly drunk Yan Qi and walked in the direction of the ancestral hall.

This time I had dinner with Mr., so that Wu Fanhui regained his long-lost self-confidence, the two-month closed life in the small mountain village made him almost numb, the kind of days when he did not contact anyone, will make people's thinking dull, so that it becomes more and more mediocre, only out of the small mountain village, to a broader world, can he recover the wisdom of the past.

Wu Fanhui felt that his luck was very good, if he was in contact with the officials of the imperial court at this time, the situation would be very different, the words he said might anger the other party, Wu Fanhui, who had no money and no power, would become a sheep to be slaughtered.
