Chu Lufeng ordered that the affairs of the Lei family must be handled strictly and quickly, so the case of the Lei family only lasted for more than half a month, and finally ended with Chu Lufeng drastically appointing a Qing official as the new county official of Qishan County.

The matter of the Lei family has settled, and people are happy. Judging from the current situation, the new county official seems to be a good official, and the dark clouds and fog that secretly shrouded the heads of the people of Qishan County seem to have been lifted all at once, and everyone walking on the street is happy and happy from the heart.

In the blink of an eye, the year is approaching, and the end of the year has a belonging. Wen Yiheng, who was weak, did not return to his hometown as usual, but only continued to stay by Su Jiudong's side, planning to spend the winter solstice season with Su Jiudong's family.

The business of Yongyuan Medicinal Restaurant is getting better and better, and it was originally a lot of joy, but Su Jiudong still has troubles and things, that is, the study problems of Su Tingan and Ah Rong, the two little dolls.

Su Tingan is six years old and Ah Rong is seven years old, which is the age when children go to school and study.

There is no teacher in the village, and Su Jiudong wants the two children to study in the school hall in the county town in the spring of the next year.

There is a public school in Qishan County and three private schools run by the master Xiucai.

Su Jiudong first belonged to the public schools in the county, and all of them were learned masters hired by the imperial court, so Su Jiudong trusted the quality of teaching very much. However, due to the lack of places in public schools, Su Jiudong could only switch to the other three private schools.

It is said that the gentlemen in the three private schools have all been admitted to Xiucai, but they have also stopped at the position of Xiucai. Unable to go further and get promoted, there was no prospect of promotion and fortune, so the three of them could only return to Qishan County to open their own school and carry out the work of teaching and educating people.

Su Jiudong planned to visit each private school one by one, and then decide which one to send his two children to.

Today, after finishing lunch at noon, there were fewer guests in the afternoon, so Su Jiudong took advantage of this time to visit the second private school, Kongxing School.

Because when Su Jiudong visited the first school yesterday, Shengfang School, he found that the number of places in the spring of next year was also full, and Su Xiaoshan was also studying in that school.

In order to keep Su Ting'an and Ah Rong away from the Su family, Su Jiudong skipped the first private school in his heart, and looked at which of the remaining two schools had a better teaching level.

The front of the door of Kongxing School is relatively old, and the wooden door has been weathered, and the edges are all signs of severe wear. It seems that this school should be opened by the master himself, not by renting a house like the first school, Katsukata School.

Su Jiudong stepped forward and knocked on the door, and it was a strange and familiar face who came to open the door, it was Su Chunshan, the son of Su Xingping, the eldest son of the Su family.

Seeing Su Jiudong coming, Su Chunshan was very surprised, and caused trouble for Su Jiudong for the Su family: "Sister Jiudong? How did you get here? What happened to the Su family? ”

Su Chunshan gave birth to a face very different from his father Su Xingping, an honest and serious old-fashioned face. As a young man, he often frowned, and his eyebrows were wrinkled in the shape of a spiral heart.

Su Jiudong didn't have much contact with Su Chunshan, and when the Su family met him a few times in a hurry, he only nodded his head to each other, and heard that he studied hard and hard, but because he was too serious and hardworking, his temperament became old-fashioned and pedantic.

"Big Brother Chunshan... Nothing happened to the Su family, I came to visit Mr. Yan from Kongxing School today. Su Jiudong explained his intentions, and Su Chunshan invited Su Jiudong to the courtyard.

The yard is not big, and the greenery is pavilion. When it was class time, with the sound of reading aloud from the house, it was also a slightly old house that added a touch of bookish atmosphere.

Su Jiudong looked at the tables and chairs in the room through the window, although the style was a little old, but fortunately, they were all clean and tidy.

On the table and chairs, each sat a child with a jagged head, each holding a book with a roll in his hand, obediently following Mr. Yan, who was teaching in the house, shaking his head and reading the words and sentences in the book, and the cold air on a winter afternoon was filled with a faint smell of ink.

Unlike the first private school, where the sixteen places were full, there were only six children in the Kongxing School. Su Chunshan explained that Mr. Yan didn't care about the number of children, and six children was just enough time for him to be able to guide them one by one.

Mr. Yan believes that children who are taught according to their aptitude are more valuable than children who have been hurriedly talked about by a teacher in a university hall and not read them carefully.

"I didn't expect Brother Chunshan to be a teaching assistant in Kongxing School. I saw Su Xiaoshan studying in another Shengfang school, and I thought that for the sake of the relationship between your relatives, she would come here to study and give you a show. ”400

Su Jiudong wanted to see how the situation was in Kongxing Academy today, and now that Mr. Yan was in class, Su Jiudong and Su Chunshan had nothing to talk about, so she could only mention Su Xiaoshan, whom everyone knew, to start the conversation.

"No, no, Sister Xiaoshan and Aunt San both dislike our old school here, and are willing to go to the Shengfang Academy where there are many people, thinking that the teacher there is younger and can speak more clearly in class."

Su Chunshan didn't say clearly that Su Xiaoshan and Wang Baihe disliked the dilapidated Kongxing School, and they didn't like Mr. Yan to be old and arrogant, so they covered up for Su Xiaoshan.

Su Chunshan invited Su Jiudong to Mr. Yan's study room and introduced her to the basic situation of Kongxing School.

In the Kongxing Academy, there are a total of three people, Mr. Yan, Su Chunshan and another teaching assistant. Today, another teaching assistant took a leave of absence for something, so he didn't show up.

"Since Sister Jiudong is here for An'er's study, and the degree in our school is also abundant, Sister Jiudong might as well send An'er and the girl you adopted to our school together, with me taking care of it, Sister Jiudong should be able to feel at ease." Su Chunshan seized the opportunity to promote the matter of Kongxing School to Su Jiudong, and strongly recommended that Su Jiudong send his two children to study.

Mr. Yan doesn't like many people, and thinks that the number of six is just right now. However, the tuition fee of Kongxing School is originally low, there are not many students, and the tuition fee is not much, and there is no source of income without tuition. Mr. Yan himself was frugal, and even had a difficult time with Su Chunshan and another teaching assistant, so Su Chunshan felt that it was good to be able to attract people.

Su Jiudong also nodded in agreement. Although Su Chunshan is also a member of the Su family, he did not inherit the meanness and bitterness of the Su family, but was honest and honest, if he could help take care of Su Tingan and Ah Rong when teaching, Su Jiudong would be much more relieved.

At the end of class in the evening, the six students left one after another, and Su Jiudong finally had the opportunity to talk to Mr. Yan.

Mr. Yan usually lets the two teaching assistants go first after class, he likes to be alone, he doesn't like to be disturbed, and usually goes to bed early after dinner and washing. However, after learning that Su Jiudong was half of Su Chunshan's relative, Mr. Yan still agreed to talk to Su Jiudong.

"Do you want to send your child to study in the county? Then I still suggest that you send it to the kilometer school or other private schools in the county, the number of students in our Kongxing School is enough, and I am afraid that I will not be able to teach it if there are many people. ”

Hearing that Su Jiudong wanted to send the two children over to study, Mr. Yan shook his head and refused as Su Chunshan expected.

Mr. Yan is not a petty character, his direct refusal made Su Jiudong not talk more about sending people to study, but Su Jiudong inquired about Su Chunshan's work as a teaching assistant in Kongxing Academy.

Su Jiudong learned from Mr. Yan that Su Chunshan was also a student of Kongxing Academy, and he read very well, and Mr. Yan also valued him. However, because there was no way to take the entrance examination, and the economy of the Su family's big house was not well-off, Su Chunshan no longer continued the entrance examination, so he had to settle down to the position of teaching assistant in the school.

"I'm already an old bone, my days are numbered, and I don't know how long I can continue to teach."

Mr. Yan stroked his long gray and sparse beard, looked at Su Chunshan, who was standing by the gate of the courtyard and did not dare to come over to disturb Su Jiudong and Su Chunshan, who spoke in a formality, lowered his voice and said to Su Jiudong: "When I go down, I'm afraid that this Kongxing Academy will not be there." As for Spring Mountain......"

"When the time comes, I'll find another opportunity to ask if I can recommend Chunshan and another Ajie to the public school in the county, whether it's a teaching assistant or a teacher, I can't let them continue to guard the sign of Kongxing School and continue to live a hard life."

Mr. Yan knew that Su Chunshan had a good temperament and was a calm person, so he secretly made future plans for the two around him.

"Scholars are used to hardship..."Su Jiudong just wanted to say a casual sentence, but was forcibly picked up by Mr. Yan: "Scholars are used to hardship, so they have to live hard all the time?" This is prejudice! Who wouldn't want to have a good life? Eh...... Let's go, let's go, don't speculate for more than half a sentence. ”

Su Jiudong smiled and said goodbye to Mr. Yan. Su Chunshan escorted Su Jiudong back to the Yongyuan Medicinal Diet Pavilion, and finally reacted late, Su Jiudong was the owner of this Medicinal Diet Pavilion.

Su Chunshan waved his hand and went back to his residence, muttering to himself: "It turns out that what Sister Xiaoshan said when she came to the house that day is true, Sister Jiudong is really getting better and better, and she is indeed a blessed person." ”

Su was running around for the two children to study, and he had to take time out of his busy schedule to go to the Li Mansion to prepare medicinal food for Mrs. Li. Before Su Jiudong went to visit the third private school, it was time to go to the Li Mansion to check on Mrs. Li's situation and ask for peace in the blink of an eye.

After Su Jiudong's pulse diagnosis, he asked Mrs. Li about her recent physical condition, and everything improved as expected. According to Mrs. Li's current physical condition, Su Jiudong changed the prescription and the dishes with the meal, and went to the small kitchen to check it.

Before leaving, Mrs. Li called Su Jiudong back to the room and asked the maid to serve tea and fruits.

"Mrs. Li, do you have anything else?" With nothing to do, Su Jiudong still adhered to a cautious attitude.
