Chapter 307: Niujia Village
Jiangnan is good,
The scenery is old.
The sunrise river flowers are red,
In spring, the river is as green as blue.
Why don't you remember Jiangnan?
Niujia Village outside Lin'an City recently suddenly came to a little Xiucai, looking at the body of twelve or thirteen years old, but the immaturity on his face and baby fat, and let the simple villagers of Niujia Village feel that this little Xiucai is not yet ten years old!
Xiao Xiucai's name is Lin Sha, I heard that he is a prodigy in Suzhou, and he has been registered in the official school case at a young age.
Therefore, when Xiao Xiucai came to Niujia Village and told the village that he would set up a small private school in the village and become a teacher, he immediately opened the door.
There are more than 20 households in Niujia Village, all the men in the family are dispatched, and a wooden house courtyard with three bright and three dark six is built next to the ancestral shrine of Niujia Village, and the main hall is used as a school, and the wings on both sides are used as study rooms and bedrooms.
Later, all the school-age children in the village were given some home-grown vegetables and eggs, and their children were sent to the school to study and write.
Lin Sha didn't ask for too much, and when the small private school was built, he made it clear that he just wanted to find a place to stay in Lin'an Mansion, where there was a space for self-study, and when he had time, he could teach the children in the village to read and write.
Lin'an, as the core of the entire Southern Song Dynasty Empire, is like the imperial capital of later generations, but Lin Sha's innocent family background cannot afford to live in.
Before coming, the elders of the village and several Toumian clansmen gave some entanglements, and the patriarch also gave some money in private, which made it easy for him to rush to Lin'an without worrying about food and clothing, but it was impossible to settle down for a long time.
Lin Sha also has self-esteem, and the patriarch vaguely said that he could support his study tour in Linsha. However, he directly refused.
He always felt that he owed too much favor to the patriarch's family, and he didn't want to continue to owe it in his heart. It's not easy to repay the debt of favors.
The powerful in Lin'an City gathered rich businessmen and wealthy merchants, especially the Southern Song Dynasty, where the sea trade was developed and the economy was prosperous. There are countless rich people, and the number of literati gathered is also a very large number.
Although Lin Sha has a literary name in Suzhou, he obtained the qualification of a child at a young age, and his future is limitless, but that is also a matter of the future.
With his age and the baby fat on his face, he doesn't look very reliable, and it is not easy to find a decent job in Lin'an City.
As a scholar of Qinggao, he was unwilling to follow the merchants to mix together, do some other work that could not be put on the table. He also didn't want to stoop to the rich and noble families to play the role of his children's companions, and the academy in the city couldn't afford it, so he could only sigh with admiration, and he wanted to open a small private school in a civilian area, but the people didn't trust him.
In short, wandering around Lin'an City has all kinds of troubles, Suzhou literati have seen a lot, and people are also very polite to him, the later show of the Lin family, delicious food and drink, and brought to the high-end hall to be chic, although he has eaten a lot of meals, he is very disgusted with such things.
Yes, it seems that Lin'an City can't get mixed up, so he set his eyes on the surrounding villages and towns.
The density of scholars in the city is high, but the villages and towns are different. Some wealthy villages and towns also have a large number of scholars, and some villages and towns that are a little remote and poor, and even the entire village and the whole village cannot find a single scholar with a meritorious reputation!
The purpose of his Lin'an was to study and not to enjoy, so he first greeted the literati from Suzhou in the city. Get the schedule of lectures in the major academies or Confucianism in advance, as long as you don't delay the time to listen to the study, it doesn't matter whether he usually lives in the city or outside the city.
Thereupon. When he was looking for a place to stay near Lin'an City, he happened to meet one of two powerful men in the market near Niujia Village, who was arguing with people.
This guy was born with a dignified appearance, tall and mighty. It was that his temper seemed to be a little strange, and Lin Sha blended into the crowd of onlookers who were watching the excitement. I heard this guy roar angrily: "How can the descendants of my dignified Yang family do something to cheat, buy it at a price of thirty yuan, don't talk nonsense!" ”
"What is your attitude, I don't want to pick and choose when I buy things?" On the opposite side is a lean man, although his height and body are a big difference, but his momentum is not weak and his tone is unhappy.
"Buy if you like, don't disturb my business!"
The strong man was disdainful, with a posture that I don't want to talk to you about, so angry that the thin man turned around and left, and his mouth was still dry and scolding.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my brother has a temper, don't be surprised!"
The companion next to the strong man, a man who was also tall and strong, but had a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes, hurriedly gave up his hands to play the round, but unfortunately the effect was unsatisfactory.
The onlookers pointed at the handsome but bad-tempered man, and Lin Sha learned from the crowd that this person's name was Yang Tiexin, a farmer in Niujia Village not far away.
If it weren't for his good brother Guo Xiaotian who was kind and had a good reputation, and blindly cleaned up the aftermath for Yang Tiexin, he was afraid that Yang Tiexin would not be able to get along in the market for a long time, how could he still be so arrogant and yelling?
"Let's let's go, let's go, let's let ......"
Lin Sha listened to the gossip with relish, and was very curious about who this guy named Yang Tiexin was on the ancestor, was it the Yang family of Tianbo Mansion during the Northern Song Dynasty or Yang Zaixing, the general under Yue Wumu, the king of Hubei?
Suddenly, the crowd behind him surged forward, and Lin Sha would have almost not been squeezed to the ground if he hadn't been practicing boxing since he was a child. There was a shout and scolding from the crowd of onlookers, and at the same time there was a burst of ruffian shouting.
"The boss is this kid, he didn't give our brother face in the market, and he was not happy to ask him to pay some 'water bills', and he scolded Xiao Si'er fiercely!"
The densely packed crowd forcibly parted to both sides, and a group of five or six green-skinned gangsters full of ruffians swaggered in, among which the younger brother next to the leading boss pointed at Yang Tiexin.
"Well, the courage of the surname Yang is not small......"
When the green-skinned gangster boss saw that it was Yang Tiexin, his face suddenly turned ugly and he shouted angrily.
"It's ...... me"
Yang Tiexin was furious and was about to stand up, but he was pulled by his companions who were rushing behind with a face next to him, and his conversation was interrupted, only to see that Guo Xiaotian was full of smiles and gave his hands again and again: "A few brothers, a few brothers, my friend has a bad temper, please take care of it, here is a little bit of our heart to invite you brothers to drink tea!" ”
As he spoke, he took out more than a dozen copper coins with his big hand, and without saying a word, he stuffed them into the hands of the green-skinned boss and laughed again and again.
"Hmph, it's still Brother Guo, you are interested, for the sake of your face, brother, today the uncle released a horse surnamed Yang, and asked that guy to put his eyes on the bright spot If he is still so ignorant of life and death in the future, the uncle will not be so easy to speak!" The green-skinned boss cushioned the copper coin in his hand, with a look of satisfaction on his face, and his eyes warned fiercely when he swept over Yang Tiexin, and then left with a vote of little brother.
"Brother Guo, ...... you"
Yang Tietie's forehead was bruised, and his eyes were full of disappointment and disappointment when he looked at Guo Xiaotian.
"Oh, Brother Yang is still dissipating, don't be so impulsive next time!"
Guo Xiaotian looked helpless, shook his head and walked back to his stall without saying anything.
The real world is so big that there is no surprise, there are still such fools in the world, and it is not ambiguous at all to deceive people and themselves!
After watching a good show, Lin Sha sighed a little, and was really impressed by Yang Tiexin and Guo Xiaotian.
A stupid person who is not garbage can't see who his surname is, and he has an arrogant face behind a famous family, but he lives at the bottom of the society and makes a living by hunting.
If you look at one point, you will have a temper that refuses to suffer a loss, and you will definitely suffer a big loss in the future!
However, the honest man named Guo Xiaotian is good, honest and sophisticated, and he is also very righteous, so he is a good friend candidate. If it weren't for this honest man who always maintained the tail sweep, I was afraid that Yang Tiexin's guy wouldn't be able to mix at all.
Shaking his head and leaving these complicated thoughts behind, he continued to work hard to find a place to stay, and later chose Niujia Village as the place to stay, and once again saw Yang Tiexin and Guo Xiaotian, the two great men.
The simple village people of this era respect the scholars almost from the bottom of their hearts.
Even Yang Tiexin, who is arrogant and can't see how many pounds and taels he has, took the initiative to participate in the construction of the small private school building with his friend Guo Xiaotian, and from time to time after the small private school opened, he sent a little game for Mr. Xiao to taste.
Because Lin Sha only teaches half a day of classes every day, in the countryside, unless there are children under the age of three, both men and women are one of the laborers in the family, and they have to help the family with housework at a young age, or make some wild vegetables and fruits to fill the household while the season is appropriate, but it is impossible to stay in the private school all day to read and learn words.
And most parents send their children to study without too high requirements, as long as they can recognize some commonly used words without chiseling and blinding, or can learn arithmetic as a craft, can have a better way out than their peers to help reduce the burden on the family, ordinary villagers can not afford to provide normal readers.
So Linsha has a lot of free time, and it's still very simple to teach a bunch of guys from five to fifteen years old at his level. The village is so big, and he doesn't see anyone looking down, and he gets acquainted with Yang Tiexin and Guo Xiaotian, two guys who farm differently and live more comfortably in the village just by hunting.
After it was cooked, a few cups of horse urine were all exposed.
Unexpectedly, these two ancestors were still celebrities, and Yang Tiexin's ancestor was Yang Zaixing, a general under Yue Wumu, and he also had an inexplicable relationship with the Yang family of Tianbo Mansion in the Northern Song Dynasty.
The honest and honest Guo Xiaotian ancestor is also extraordinary, it is actually the famous Liangshan hero 'Sai Rengui' Guo Sheng in the late Northern Song Dynasty, although his name is not as good as Yang Zaixing's loud martial arts, but it is not too much.
Seeing that Lin Sha was interested in their ancestors, the two of them immediately became even more excited, and while talking endlessly about the glory of their ancestors, they also took out their ancestral weapons and practiced their ancestral martial arts for Lin Sha...... (To be continued......)
