Chapter 47: Apprenticeship

Shen Yuerong left the school with her younger brother and did not go home directly, but came to Wang Xiucai's house.

Wang Xiucai and his wife had just finished lunch and were sorting out flowers and plants in the courtyard.

"Grandpa Wang, I want my younger brother to worship you as a teacher and learn from you."

Shen Yuerong bowed down respectfully and said this to Wang Xiucai.

Wang Xiucai was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly refused: "Shen family girl, I have never confiscated disciples, and I can't teach and educate people." ”

In this life, I will bury my head in hard study, and I have never taught anyone to learn, so I dare not take this errand casually.

When Shen Yuerong heard that Wang Xiucai refused, she still arched her hand and bent her body lower: "Grandpa Wang, you are a learned person, as long as you are willing, isn't it a very simple thing to teach a disciple?" ”

Wang Xiucai was very happy with Shen Yuerong's praise, but he still refused: "It's not that I am willing to teach your brother, it's just that I'm old, I don't have so much energy, and my knowledge is very shallow, so I can't be a teacher at all, I'm afraid of delaying your brother." ”

Shen Yuerong straightened up and said with a serious face: "Grandpa Wang, you are so modest. You are so knowledgeable, sensible, and good, if you don't deserve to be a teacher, who else deserves to? You just accept Nian'er, Nian'er will definitely do your studies obediently, and it won't cost you too much energy. ”

Wang Xiucai waved his hand and refused: "If you really want your brother to learn knowledge, you can also take him to the village school, where you can also go to school and learn things." ”

Shen Yuerong sighed: "Grandpa Wang, I went to the village school in the morning, and Nian'er also studied there for a long time, but Cui Xiucai from the village school really didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and he didn't have the right heart, I don't want my brother to go to school there!" ”

After Shen Yuerong finished speaking, he gave Shen Nianhua a look, and Shen Nianhua immediately stepped forward and knelt in front of Wang Xiucai.

"Grandpa Wang, you can accept me, I don't want to go to Cui Xiucai's place, I am willing to learn from you in Nian'er, you are so capable, you will definitely teach me very capable."

Wang Xiucai heard Shen Yuerong's evaluation of Cui Xiucai and was a little curious about what happened.

Liu was also curious when she heard this, and she asked directly, "What's wrong with that Cui Xiucai?" ”

Shen Yuerong was a little angry when she thought of this: "You don't know how unlearned Cui Xiucai is, he taught the students' parents to travel not far away, and did not explain that the second half of the sentence must be a good way, and said that the reason why he didn't go to the examination was because he wanted to stay with his parents and fulfill his filial piety and couldn't go far away." I got angry and reasoned with him, but he didn't admit that he was wrong, and I wanted to refund the tuition, but he didn't want to refund me, and finally I struggled to talk about it, and he gave me back the tuition. ”

Shen Yuerong then said to Wang Xiucai: "Grandpa Wang, as a teacher, you must first correct yourself before you can teach and educate people, which is the foundation of teacher morality. Only a good teacher can be a good teacher like you. Even if Nian'er just follows you, it will be enough for him to benefit for the rest of his life, which is like Cui Xiucai of the village school, if I let Nian'er follow him, I am afraid that my whole life will be ruined. ”

Wang Xiucai listened to the praise of Shen Yuerong's sister and brother, and felt a little proud in his heart, and there was a smile on his face.

"The Cui Xiucai you mentioned, I've also dealt with him, if I have to compare with him, I naturally don't want to say politely that I'm better than him."

Shen Yuerong heard that Wang Xiucai didn't look down on that Cui Xiucai, so she immediately stepped forward and added: "Yes, Grandpa Wang is rich in five cars, and there are still so many books in the family, my younger brother can study with you, so I can rest assured." I will definitely give you a show in the future, and I won't lose your face as a teacher. ”

The Liu family on the side couldn't sit still, and helped persuade Wang Xiucai: "Cui Xiucai is so bad, it's better for Nian to be like us, and we can't watch him be ruined by Cui Xiucai, or you can accept it, our yard will be lively." ”

Wang Xiucai smiled and nodded, looking at Shen Nianhua who was still kneeling on the ground.

It's not that hard to teach a six-year-old child.

And the young man's qualifications are acceptable, clever and lovely, and there is Yue'er at home who is literate and staring, but he may really be able to teach a good disciple.

Anyway, now I have nothing to do, so I should be the companion of multiple people.

Wang Xiucai looked at Shen Nianhua: "Okay, I'll accept you as a disciple today." ”

Shen Nianhua was very happy, he hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, teacher, I will definitely study hard in the future, and I will never embarrass you!" ”

Wang Xiucai listened to Shen Nianhua's assurance and was very satisfied.

"Since you worship me as a teacher, you must always remember to be innocent in life and diligent in learning!"

Shen Nianhua kowtowed again: "Nian'er remembers." ”

Only then did Wang Xiucai reach out and help Shen Nianhua up.

Shen Nianhua was also very happy to worship under Wang Xiucai.

You don't have to go so far to the village to study, and you can be so close to home.

Grandpa Wang is more knowledgeable than Cui Xiu, and he will definitely be able to become a capable person.

Wang Xiucai turned his head and explained to Shen Yuerong again: "The master leads the door, the cultivation is personal, I will definitely teach Nian'er with all my heart, you also have to have a snack, don't let Nian'er become an arrogant and arrogant person like Cui Xiucai in the future, and he hasn't really learned!" ”

Shen Yuerong nodded respectfully and made a gesture: "Grandpa Wang, don't worry, I will also work hard to teach Nian'er at home, so that he is not arrogant or impatient." ”

When Shen Yuerong heard that Wang Xiucai finally agreed to accept his younger brother, the stone in his heart finally fell.

"Grandpa Wang, I will give you my brother's tuition according to the cost of the village school, two taels of silver a year."

Shen Yuerong looked at her younger brother's happy appearance, and was very happy in her heart.

In this way, the younger brother will study in the front yard and make wine in the backyard by himself, so that he will not be delayed, and he can pay attention to his younger brother at any time.

"Yue'er, the tuition fee will be free, since I have accepted Nian'er as a disciple, I will naturally teach him well."

Wang Xiucai waved his hand and refused.

There is no shortage of money in his own family, and it is not to accept this disciple to make money, and it is not easy for these two children to make money.

"Grandpa Wang, I know that you are a good person, otherwise I would not let my younger brother worship you as a teacher, but you must take this tuition, otherwise I will not be happy in my heart, and I will not give you more, just according to the cost of village school."

Wang Xiucai did not let go, and the Liu family on the side was also anxious.

"What money is not money, no money, I am happy for you to come, how lively the yard is."

Shen Yuerong calculated in his heart, and then persuaded him: "Grandpa Wang, do you think, Cui Xiucai's at least ten students, one person receives two taels of silver, you have only accepted a disciple for a year, one-on-one teaching, I should give you twenty taels a year, and now I will only give you two taels, so I will make a lot of money." If you don't accept it again, it's just that Yue'er will give less. ”

Wang Xiucai and Liu couldn't help but laugh at Shen Yuerong's words, so they didn't refuse more.

Wang Xiucai thought for a while and said to Liu: "Since we have received these two taels of silver, you will go to the backyard to help Yue'er make wine in the future, and Nian'er will come to school, and she can't be busy alone." ”

Liu had no opinion and nodded in agreement.
