Shen Zhi sat next to him, listening rarely, glaring at Yan Baiwei.

Unexpectedly, when Tang Shijin answered correctly with these literati, he completely changed his appearance, and he was not polite like her.

Yan Baiwei only lowered his eyes and drank tea, not surprised.

She is very good at observing your face, and then prescribing the right medicine, what attitude she uses to you, explain who you are......

However, Xie Huaijin didn't seem to be a person who cared much about hypocrisy, but when they first met, he looked a little scrutinized, probably because he was too cold and thought about it, so she was doubly polite and respectful.

After a while, Tao Chengqi, Tang Shilei, and Xi Yuanmu also came over, and the two sides met each other, Tao Chengqi didn't know that he was coming, and he was quite happy.

Xie Huaijin can be regarded as completely understanding, this is an oolong.

Tang Shijin retreated, took Mrs. Xie to the back of the screen, and ate alone.

Xie Huaijin is gentle and elegant, but judging from his deeds, he should belong to the kind of outer and inner gang, and it is also very speculative to chat with Tao Chengqi.

But even though the conversation was very speculative, Tao Chengqi still did not show up to receive him the next day.

Tang Shijin and Yan Baiwei divided the work, Yan Baiwei went to Heli to discuss the matter of collecting grain, and Tang Shijin took them to the school.

In fact, the school has been almost built, and it occupies a large area.

In addition to the classroom in front, there are two courtyards side by side at the back, both with doors leading to the school hall and small doors for walking alone.

There are three large houses in each courtyard, and there are separate stove huts outside, even if the couple lives with children, it is enough, and one can be vacated as a study.

Xie Huaijin was very satisfied and nodded.

Tang Shijin said with a smile: "Where do you want to live in these two courtyards?" ”

Xie Huaijin and his wife glanced at each other and pointed to one: "Here, there is a tree, and there is a lot of shade." ”

"Is there anything you need to change?"

Xie Huaijin said: "It's good, you don't have to change it." ”

Then he asked, "What is the back?" ”

Tang Shijin said: "I want to use this as a girls' school...... Teaching the girls in the village to embroider and tie ties, etc., because there are very few good needlework in the village, so there is a person who teaches it well, and it will be regarded as a craft in the future. ”

Xie Huaijin was a little surprised: "Neizi is the heir of Hunan embroidery. ”

"Husband!" Mrs. Xie stopped in a low voice, and said, "I'm just being rude." ”

Tang Shijin said with a smile: "Madame, don't think about it, I don't have any candidates in my heart, I originally planned to wait for the school to be built, and slowly find it...... This is the convenience given to me by the two of you, not the favor that I gave to the two of you, I should thank the two of you. ”

Mrs. Xie relaxed a little and said softly: "I am indeed the heir of Hunan embroidery." ”

Xie Huaijin heard something meaningful: "Tang Xiaoniang has something to say, but she can't defend herself." ”

Tang Shijin said: "I'...... Actually, I can't say anything, it's some of my own thoughts. Because this school is only for enlightenment, in fact, there is no need to be good in learning, but the character must pass, I am not saying that Mr. Xie's character is not good, I mean, the first thing they have to learn is not to do knowledge, but to be a person. ”

Xie Huaijin understood what she meant: "The little lady is saying, just want them to know a few words, have a long insight, and learn some ways to deal with people?" ”

Tang Shijin nodded: "Yes." ”

Xie Huaijin said: "But the people who come to study may not think so, they come to study, naturally, to learn something, and then become an official in the imperial examination and get ahead." ”

"Yes." Tang Shijin said: "So, I want to ask Mr. Xie to select people who are suitable for learning." ”

She told him about the policy she had set with the patriarch: "My idea is that the imperial examination is a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops, and if it is indeed not that piece of material, there is no need to force it, this is a ...... Second, I think that if there are really children who can't learn well even if they work hard, they can learn some ability to deal with others, and they can make their future road smoother, that's not bad, and there is no need to force it. ”

Xie Huaijin said: "Tang Xiaoniang, with all due respect, your thoughts are a little strange. ”

Tang Shijin was stunned: "What's weird?" ”

Xie Huaijin said: "I can tell that you are not a person who spares money, and you made a two-year contract not to save, but you set a two-year contract, and you ...... Setting such a way of teaching, your remark makes me feel that you are excusing children who are not good at learning in advance, so that they do not have to read because they have 'no money at home', and they are not incompetent. Why is that? ”

Tang Shijin was stunned.

She opened her mouth, speechless.

Although she has always been humble and polite, in fact, in her opinion, this is a little scholar, no big deal.

But I never expected that this little scholar had a pair of see-through eyes, and he could see her clearly at a glance.

Even what she didn't think clearly about herself told him to break it down.

Exculpation?

She's not exculpable, sometimes, she really won't!

A person who works three jobs, when he comes home hungry and exhausted, he can't read the things in the homework book, and he can't think of anything.

But in the face of Xueba's puzzled eyes: "You don't even know this kind of question?" ”

Facing the teacher's patient expression: "What did you do earlier, did you play with your mobile phone in class?" ”

No, I didn't play with my mobile phone, Lao Tzu's 10,000-year-old machine, just a call function, what do you let Lao Tzu play?

I'm just stupid!

Over time, she stopped asking.

Then he covered his ridiculous self-esteem, and was more arrogant than anyone else: "What's so great, I don't want to work for Lao Tzu in the future!" ”

In fact, she did it, and many of the top students of the year were working for her, and their income was less than one-ten-thousandth of her.

But in her mind, there is still the ridiculous little girl who lived back then.

I remember the helplessness of staring at the workbook.

I really won't, I've tried my best, but I just won't!

Really, really won't.

Really, really not lazy.

But no one ever believed her.

Someone walked over quickly and pressed her head casually: "What's wrong?" ”

He looked at Xie Huaijin with an unkind look in his eyes: "Mr. Xie? ”

Tang Shijin hurriedly settled down.

She quickly regained her composure and pulled his hand away: "It's okay, it's okay, I was distracted just now." ”

She said to Xie Huaijin: "Mr. Xie, I am a little woman who has little knowledge, I thought that I had already saved people, and I thought that this might be better...... Banmen got the axe and smiled. ”

Xie Huaijin arched his hand silently.

Tang Shijin continued: "Mr. Xie is a hundred times more talented than me, then I won't say more, I believe Mr. Xie, and the future of the school will depend on Mr. Xie." ”

It was only a matter of two sentences, and her gloomy sadness had disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.

Yan Baiwei listened quietly and did not interrupt.
