Alas, this old man lost his son in his old age, and he had to farm with his back to the loess to support his little grandson, which is really difficult. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Brother Shouwen, I will pay the rent owed by this old man."

After thinking about it for a long time, Xie Shen still sighed.

Although it was not appropriate for him to say this, he could not watch an old man kowtow and bleed.

Wang Shouwen was obviously a little hesitant, this money made Xie Shenchu always feel that it was not suitable, but there seemed to be no other way.

Finally, Wang Shouwen sighed and said, "Uncle Chen, don't thank Gongzi Xie soon." ”

The old man was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly turned around and kowtowed to Xie Shen.

Xie Shen immediately bent down and helped the old man up and said, "The old man doesn't have to be polite, how old is your grandson this year, are you willing to go to school?" ”

The old man looked at Xie Shen in a daze and didn't say a word.

Xie Pi coughed and explained: "The meaning of enlightenment is to go to the academy to study, and Brother Shen means to ask if you are willing to send your grandson to the academy to study." ”

The old man's lips trembled slightly, and he said in a trembling voice: "Xie Xiaoxianggong, the old man's family can't afford to support the doll to study." ”

Xie Shen explained: "Don't worry about this, I'll pay for it." ”

The old man said again and again: "I can't help it, I can't help it." Young Master Xie has just paid a year's rent for Lao Suo, and he has to pay for the doll's study, how can Lao Suo pay it back. ”

Xie Shen said lightly: "The old man doesn't have to worry, this money doesn't have to be repaid, and this love doesn't have to be repaid." It is an honor to be able to do something for the elders in my hometown. ”

The old man wanted to say something, but Wang Shouwen coughed and said, "Since Uncle Chen is like this, you can agree, Brother Xie Xian is also for your good." ”

The old man said with tears in his eyes: "It is said that Xie Xiaoxianggong is a Wenqu star, this is a blessing for our Yuyao!" ”

Xie Shen's cheeks turned red when he praised him, and he said again and again: "The old man has a good reputation." ”

After the three of them left the barren beach, they went into the city to find a restaurant to eat.

Xie Shen was thinking about the previous things while eating.

In the Ming Dynasty, for a poor child like Xie Shen, studying was really the only way out. The old man just now is the proof, if his grandson doesn't open his mind, maybe his life trajectory is no different from that old man, right?

In contrast, there are many ways to promote the children of the family. The imperial examination is just one of the most effective.

Even if they can't pass the imperial examination, they can still rely on their father's shadow to go to the country to study and become a prisoner, and they can still be officials after completing their studies.

Of course, this kind of national eunuch can generally only be done by the prefect, and at most by the prefect. There's no hope going any further.

The six departments and nine temples of the Beijing Division can be described as a radish and a pit, and the Jinshi are fighting for a position, where is there a place for the prisoners.

Of course, there are also some nobles who can rely on their father's shadow to directly shade a military official, eat and wait for death.

Even if you don't have a career, you can rely on the family power to get drunk and dream and die, and enjoy life.

However, the children of the poor family can only struggle except for struggle, and there may not be hope for struggle, but there must be no hope if they do not struggle.

What Xie Shen wanted to do was to give these poor children a hope.

Thinking of this, Xie Shen coughed lightly and said, "Brother Shouwen, Brother Pixian, do you think it is feasible to open a private school to teach children from poor families?" ”

Wang Shouwenqi said: "Why did Brother Shenxian suddenly want to open a private school, could it be because of the ...... Uncle Chen just now?"

Xie Shen nodded and said, "I plan to recruit children from poor families in Yuyao in this private school, and I will come out with Mr. Teaching." ”

Xie Pi nodded and said, "This idea is indeed good, but the selection of Mr. Teaching is a problem." Yuyao's current situation, Brother Shenxian, you don't know, most of the enlightenment of people like us are made up of uncles in the clan, and you will definitely not be able to invite these. ”

After Xie Pi finished speaking, he was afraid that Xie Shen would misunderstand, and added: "This is the rule of the clan, Brother Shen, don't be surprised." ”

Xie Shen smiled faintly: "How come, rules are rules, and I don't want to break it." To tell you the truth, the teacher I plan to invite is Zheng Xundao. ”

"Zheng Xundao?"

Wang Shouwen stared at a pair of round eyes and said, "How could it be him?" ”

Xie Shen said lightly: "Zheng Xun was originally from a poor family, so he naturally understands the suffering of children from poor families. What's more, Zheng Xundao doesn't have a lot of money, so he shouldn't refuse to take a bundle in his spare time. ”

There is another reason that Xie Shen did not say, that is, Zheng Xundao once served as Mr. Xixi of Ningyuan's foreign family when he was in Hangzhou, so he is very suitable for this model of private school.

After all, the things taught in the county school are relatively profound, and the private school is to play an enlightening role.

Of course, this is also good for Xie Shen.

He is now famous, but mostly because of his small three-dimensional and poetic talents.

If you can win a reputation for revitalizing culture and education by opening a private school, it will naturally be very good.

Prestige is such a thing, naturally the higher the better, as long as it does not overshadow the county respect, there will be no problem.

Among them, Xie Shen thinks that he can still handle it well.

What's more, Xie Shen runs a private school to promote culture and education, and it can be said that he is strongly supported by Wu County's order, so it can be regarded as Wu's county's political achievements.

People sometimes just have to be more general, and they can't think too narrowly.

"Mr. is there, but what about the school, Brother Shenxian, you shouldn't plan to open a school in your own yard, right?"

Wang Shouwen looked at Xie Shen suspiciously, and said quietly.

"You don't have to worry about this, wait until I talk to Zheng Xundao before thinking about the school."

After speaking, Xie Shen added: "Don't tell the outside world about this matter, even if you are a fellow student of the county school, you can't mention it." ”

The two nodded, they knew that Xie Shen was worried that some of the county school students would be jealous and interfere with it.

It's always a good idea to keep a low profile before it's done.

"By the way, I almost forgot to tell Brother Shenxian that the eldest brother brought back a letter and asked me to pass it on to you."

After speaking, Wang Shouwen took out a letter from his body and handed it to Xie Shen.

The boy took the letter and opened it.

Wang Shouren's temperament belongs to the kind of desireless and rigid, so it is rare to see him write to others.

The content of this letter is ordinary, it is nothing more than asking Xie Shen to urge Wang Shouwen to write on his behalf, so that he can pass the August scientific examination.

However, in the end, Wang Shouren mentioned that Xie Shen had the opportunity to visit Xu Shilang in Songjiang Mansion.

What does that mean?

Could it be that Xu Guanxu didn't give up after the incident, and wanted to call Xie Shen as the fast son-in-law of the East Bed?

Xie Shen couldn't help but shudder when he thought of this, does this Wang Shouren still have a habit of being a matchmaker, but he can't see it on weekdays.

That's it, fortunately, now that the scientific examination is approaching, Xie Shen has an excuse to prevaricate.

It's a big deal to go to Songjiang Mansion once after the science test, and find Mr. Xu to explain it face to face.
