This can be understood, in ancient times, teachers and their parents were placed in the same generation, if they worship others as teachers, some apprentices will also give the teacher a pension.

I let those who accept apprentices be very careful, I am afraid that I will accept a bad apprentice and ruin my reputation, Liu Jixiang actually agrees with this idea, you said that if the school accepts a bad student, it is really a rat poop and a pot of soup.

And Liu Ruyi, this kid looks very bold, but his temperament is wooden, and he looks relatively thin, what if he encounters a strong child who is bullied?

After Liu Jixiang remembered the address, he took Liu Ruyi to the pastry shop to buy a pound of pastries, and asked someone to find the location of the school.

The school is very remote, and there are no other houses around, but before I entered the school, I heard the sound of reading Lang Lang.

Liu Jixiang and Liu Ruyi stood at the door hand in hand, not knowing whether to go in or not, and always felt that it was a bit abrupt to go in like this.

"Is there something wrong with the two of you?" A kind voice came from behind them.

Liu Ruyi turned around and found that it was an old woman with gray hair, and she was immediately a little restrained, "I'...... My brother and I are here to apprentice......"

"Oh, I'm here to study, so why don't you stand at the door and not go in?" The old woman smiled gently, "It's not a flood beast inside, you don't have to be afraid!" ”

"It's not ......" Liu Jixiang met such a kind old man, and instantly changed from a tiger to a soft and cute little white rabbit, and his voice was much softer, "I always feel that if you go in like this, it is really rude!" ”

The old lady smiled at once, "You kid is really interesting, okay, you don't have to be restrained, I am the mother of the master of the school, you can go in with me!" ”

Liu Jixiang couldn't help but get nervous when he heard this, and followed the old lady to the courtyard, saying as he walked: "We were recommended by the old doctor of the medical hall, and he also wrote us a greeting post......"

"Oh, it turned out that Mrs. Kong recommended you here, although that old lady is kind-hearted, but not everyone can help, I guess you must have something special!" Old Madam Su said gently: "Although you were recommended by an acquaintance, I still have some questions I want to ask you, I see that Brother Ling is not too young, why do you want him to come over to study at this time?" ”

Liu Jixiang lowered his head, "It's not a secret, a few years ago, my father and mother died, and my uncle took all the property in the family, not to mention my brother, not to mention studying, it was difficult to even eat a full meal...... Later, my father-in-law left, and I gave him three years of filial piety, thinking that I really can't do this, after all, my brother is not too young, thinking that I can't live in someone else's house all the time, so I went back to discuss with my uncle, and let them return the house and land!

However, although I lived back in my old house, I still came back, because my brother-in-law was about to take the exam, and I didn't worry about the orphans and widows in the family, so I thought about coming back to take care of it!

Is it some time ago that the wild vegetables on the mountain have grown, I happened to be idle and went to the mountains to go around, I didn't expect to go lucky, picked a few precious medicinal herbs, and had some spare money in my hands, so I thought about sending my brother to read and read, know a few words, not ask him to be rich, just ask him to understand things! ”

Liu Ruyi stood aside, listening to his sister say this, if he hadn't realized that the timing was wrong, his jaw would have fallen off!

Liu Jixiang can swear to the sky that what he said is absolutely true...... Well...... 60% is true......

His father and mother are indeed gone, his father-in-law is also gone, and his younger brother lives a very hard life, and his uncle occupies his own house...... As for taking care of her mother-in-law, she really took good care of her, her mouth was not clean, and she wanted to beat herself, but she had a lot of adults, and she didn't do anything with her, at least she didn't kill her, but just taught her to be a human being again.

Now that I think about it, I really move the heavens and the earth, a good daughter-in-law who is virtuous and virtuous.

When Mrs. Su heard this, she couldn't stop her tears, thinking that after her man left, she thought that the clansmen would help take care of it, but those people just wanted to take advantage of them and occupy their family property.

What a pity, their head of the family lost most of the family's money due to perennial illness, and then his son was studying, and his health was not good, so the family did not have much money, so the son did not continue to take the exam, but stayed in the village as a teacher to earn money to support the family.

When Mrs. Su saw Liu Jixiang, she seemed to see herself who had suffered before, and her face became more and more gentle, "You are a hard-working woman, but good people have good rewards, and now you are just bitter, I will accept your brother for my son, but the ugly words are in front, if your brother can't learn, or if his character is wrong, then I will let him leave!" ”

When Liu Jixiang heard this, the big stone in her heart was finally put in her stomach, as for what she said before, she was not afraid of others demolishing herself, she was originally a poor and helpless little daughter-in-law who was bullied, as for the Li family, she didn't dare to tell the truth, because her second son was taking the exam, once the truth was told, even her second son's reputation would be damaged, so she was even more afraid that the truth would be known by others!

Liu Jixiang hurriedly put his pastry on the table, "This ...... This is today's prayer, please accept it, about my brother......"

"After three days, let him prepare the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, the pen does not need to be particularly good, as long as he can write, as for the ink...... Ordinary ones are fine, anyway, children don't need to write particularly well, as for paper...... It is said that children nowadays don't need it, we usually let them write on the sand table, and then write on paper when they are ready, but you should buy some and prepare it!

As for those books, since he just entered, he bought "Thousand Character Text", "Hundred Family Names", "Quantang Poems" and "Three Character Classics"! ”

Liu Jixiang nodded, kept these books in his heart, and exchanged pleasantries with the old lady before leaving here with Liu Ruyi.

They were not in a hurry to go back, but first went to the bookstore, bought ordinary brushes and the most ordinary straw paper, of course, these are not the most expensive, the most expensive is the book, a book is cheap for more than 80 Wen, the most expensive for more than 100 Wen, these things are mixed together, it cost them four or five hundred Wen, it seems that this ancient reader is really not everyone can afford it.
