Chapter 35 Rejected
The sky was gray and bright, and there was silence around the Liu family.
Aunt Liu and Liu Anyi got up early, and Aunt Liu also specially took a new dress out, "Come on, come on, try this dress to fit." ”
Liu Anyi raised his eyes and glanced at it, and instantly smiled, "Thank you, Aunt Liu, I'll just come by myself." ”
Aunt Liu was full of smiles, seeing Liu Anyi clumsily putting on her clothes, her thoughts had already flown to when Liu Da Niu was a child. This dress was worn by Liu Da Niu when he was a child, and Liu Da Niu only wore it once, she thought that Liu Da Niu always liked to dirty his clothes, and when Liu Da Niu became sensible, these clothes no longer fit, and he was no longer obsessed with wearing new clothes, after all, it was cheaper to wear old clothes to work.
"Auntie, look." Liu Anyi put on her clothes, pulled her clothes crampedly, and waited anxiously for Aunt Liu to speak.
"Comfortable and well-dressed." Aunt Liu was shouted by him, came back to her senses, praised her, and sighed in her heart that she was old, and she always liked to recall the past.
"Let's eat breakfast first, and then go to the school."
Liuzhi Village is not far from Liuye Village, there is no school in Liuye Village, and the children of Liuye Village can only go to Liuzhi Village to go to school.
There is only one master in the school, the master's surname is Liu Wenzheng, who was originally a teacher in the city, and then went to Liuzhi Village for some reason and opened a school to teach.
The people in the two villages admired Liu Fuzi very much, and if any family wanted to send him to the school, they all prepared a bow according to his requirements before they could enter the school. There are no excessive requirements in the school, and when you enter the school, you can study wholeheartedly, and you can be naughty and mischievous when you leave the school.
Aunt Liu was entrusted by Shen Yuanyao, inquired carefully, and prepared them one by one.
As the sun grew, Aunt Liu took the apprenticeship ceremony she had prepared before and walked towards Liuzhi Village with Liu Anyi.
The location of the school is relatively remote, not in Liuzhi Village, and the area is not very large, but it is much more magnificent than the houses of the surrounding people. The house was surrounded by a man-high brick wall, and you could not see the inside from the outside of the wall, but you could hear the sound of children reading aloud.
There was a neatly dressed child waiting in front of the door, and when she saw Aunt Liu, who was carrying a lot of things, she stepped forward and asked: "Auntie is going to send her son to school." ”
Aunt Liu will see that the half-grown children will feel festive, and nodded with a smile and said, "I wonder if the master will have time here?" ”
"Yes." The child's face was solemn and his tone was meticulous.
The little boy's clothes were neat, and he looked Liu Anyi up and down before he spoke, "Please come with me, two of you." ”
Aunt Liu worked in a large family in the city in the early years, and sometimes she would meet the young lady who went to school in the house. Although this is not as particular as a big family, it is still very stylish, and it is worthy of being the master of a large family.
"Auntie sit down for a while, and I'll go and ask the master to come over." The child served Aunt Liu good tea and turned to go out.
Aunt Liu has experienced the wind and waves, but this time she is sending Liu Anyi to school, which is not as good as before, although it is not their family's son, but after getting along during this time, Aunt Liu is really sorry for Liu Anyi.
"Later, the master will answer whatever he asks, don't be nervous." Taking advantage of the fact that the master did not come, and he was afraid that Liu Anyi would be nervous and unable to answer the master's question, he secretly told him again.
"Auntie, I'm not nervous." Liu Anyi's face was serious and solemn, and in the eyes of Aunt Liu, he was nervous, but he only felt that the excitement in his heart was about to overflow.
The closer he got here, the sound of reading in the distance came into his ears, and the excitement in his heart was even more difficult to quell. He also wants to study and learn calligraphy in the school, and he can meet more friends like his aunt said.
Liu Fuzi didn't let them wait too long, he let the children study, and when he saw that the children were invited, he knew that there were guests coming to the door, so he asked the children to watch them study.
"Keep studying, don't stop."
Liu Fuzi left his words and left slowly, and when the children in the school saw that the master walked away, a few of them immediately put down the books in their hands, and exchanged their ears with the front and back tables, and the sound of reading suddenly became much less.
"Maozi, this master is so boring." One of the children said.
Shigeko raised her eyelids and lowered her eyes to look at the book in her hand, but did not say anything back.
"Maozi, you are becoming more and more like a master, let's go catch fish after school today." The child complained, but still wanted to play together.
"Okay, there are a lot of fish and shrimp in the river at this time." Shen Yongjian, who was sitting on the other side, also spoke in agreement.
Maozi finally stopped reading, and it was difficult to hide the child's nature, so he looked around to see that the master had not returned, and said, "Then let's go after school." ”
Shen Yongzong, who was a little farther away, could only watch them talk, and the children around him were all studying, and they couldn't hear clearly if they wanted to.
"You guys be quiet, Jing An has come to see it." The older cow baby said in a low voice.
The three of them finally stopped talking and looked together in the direction where Jing An was standing, indeed looking at their position, and immediately sat up straight and read in a low voice.
Seeing that they didn't speak anymore, Jing An stopped looking at them, and quietly waited for Liu Fuzi to come out.
Liu Wenzheng's clothes were meticulously arranged, and his bun was neatly tied, and the first thing he saw when he entered the door fell on Liu Anyi, like the little boy just now, looking up and down.
Aunt Liu didn't dare to speak first, and when she saw that Master Liu frowned suddenly, her heart was even more nervous, but fortunately, she let go of it at once.
"Master Liu." Aunt Liu handed over the post, and when he took the post, she knew that the first level had passed.
Children cannot be as young as four years old, after all, the school is not a home, and four-year-old children are punished for not studying diligently; Children over the age of eight are also not accepted, and if they are gifted and intelligent, they can change their masters after completing their studies, and they will not be admitted to the school if they are too old.
No one dared to refute Liu Fuzi's strange temper and requirements, although he was not a powerful person in Yaozhou City, he could be said to be a famous person in this kind of place where there were many rural farmers.
Every household has a son to go to school, and the better school has no money to send it, and the one who can choose is Liu Fuzi here, and no one has an opinion, so it becomes the rule.
Liu Fuzi has three requirements for accepting children, one is that no matter who wants to enter the school, he must first hand over the prayer post; the second is to inquire about family history; The third is to ask the children if they would like to go to school for literacy.
As long as the first three articles have passed, you can enter the hall immediately by offering the apprenticeship.
Aunt Liu also specially found someone to write a prayer post, although it is not very good, but it is better to have a worship post than nothing. Liu Fuzi does not accept everyone's prayers, but it still depends on whether the clothes of the people who come to the door are neat and tidy, and they are not allowed to enter the school if they are not clean.
The third requirement is that Aunt Liu feels that there is no problem at all, and Liu Anyi's intelligence and love for books, she thinks there is no problem at all. is the one in the middle, Aunt Liu feels apprehensive.
I hope that Liu Fuzi is not like the three aunts and six women in the village gossiping, otherwise with Shen Yuanyao's reputation in the village, it really reaches his ears, and most of them will refuse this apprenticeship.
Dr. Liu finished reading the post, folded it along the wrinkles and put it on the table, picked up the teacup and took a sip, moistened his throat and asked, "Where is the home, how many people are in the family?" ”
Aunt Liu was just about to answer, but when she saw that Liu Fuzi had not looked at her, she knew that she was not asking her, so she could only remain silent.
"Home in Liuye Village, two people in the family." Liu Anyi's tone was calm, just like she usually spoke, but her words were full of Duansu that Aunt Liu had never seen.
Aunt Liu remembered that when she chatted with Shen Yuanyao one day, she talked about Liu Anyi's well-behaved and docile, at that time Shen Yuanyao was silent for a long time, looking at the mountains and forests lurking in the middle of the night in the distance, she sighed and said: "He is just too well-behaved and docile, so I don't know how to talk to him." ”
"Auntie, have you ever seen a man who can hold back his nature at this age? They are supposed to be carefree and crying, but he is not, so I wanted to give him the favorite, that might be useful. ”
Aunt Liu had to ask again, but Liu Daniu came to call Shen Yuanyao to help, and she could only give up. Later, I didn't remember it, but now that I'm here, I remembered the words that broke the sky.
Liu Fuzi listened to Liu Anyi's answer, and was stunned, "Who is the other person?" ”
"It's my aunt, Shen Yuanyao." Liu Anyi replied.
Liu Fuzi's complexion changed suddenly, there was only one family in Liuye Village surnamed Shen, and as for that family, the reputation really spread all over Liuye Village, and Liuzhi Village, which was not far away, naturally spread all over it.
He had just taken in the two children of the Shen family before, and Jia Xiuli was afraid that Liu Fuzi would also hear the rumors in the village, so she was unwilling to accept Shen Yongzong to see Shen Yongzong, and explained all the rumors in the village, and pushed all the bad words and unpleasant words on Shen Yuanyao, and also said that Shen Houniu drove Shen Yuanyao out of the Shen family.
Liu Fuzi thought that it was the sister-in-law's problem, how could he involve two ignorant men and accept Shen Yongjian and Shen Yongzong.
Shen Sanya, the Shen family of Liuye Village, returned home a few months ago with a man, needless to say, he knew that the man in front of him was what those people said.
Liu Fuzi felt a little sorry in his heart, this guy looked calm, more calm than the more than ten in the school, and he would be able to learn something in time.
It's just that the reputation of the Shen family is not good, and there are many rumors in the village, and they have not stopped for several months. The rumors are not groundless, it must be that there is something wrong with Shen Sanya's personality.
"Go to your house." Liu Fuzi said in a deep voice.
He can accept Shen Yongzong, who is already from a different family, but he can't accept Liu Anyi, a man of unknown origin, he is really sorry for this child, but he still doesn't want to be accepted into the school.
Dr. Liu picked up the prayer note on the table and put it in Liu Anyi's hand.
Aunt Liu, who had never been able to interject, was full of distress, and couldn't help but step forward and persuade: "Master, for the sake of this child's well-behaved and obedient ......"
"Needless to say, let's go home." Liu Fuzi didn't listen to Aunt Liu's persuasion, and walked out of the hall after speaking.
Aunt Liu knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she hugged Liu Anyi into her arms in distress. Liu Anyi lowered his head and maintained his original posture, leaving shallow water marks on the floor tiles.
"Let's go home." Aunt Liu said.
After a long time, Liu Anyi replied sullenly, put the worship note properly, and let Aunt Liu lead him out of the hall.
Aunt Liu led Liu Anyi out of the school, Liu Anyi heard someone's laughing voice and looked back. The front of the school hall was empty, and his eyes turned red again, and he turned his head sharply unwilling to take another look.
At this time, in the school, Maozi looked at the corridor outside the house and became distracted, and a person came from behind, patted him on the shoulder and asked, "What are you looking at?" After asking, he also looked at it, but found no one, and said, "Let's go to them to play with Yongjian." ”
"I seem to have seen Liu Anyi." Shigeko said dumbfounded.
"What do you think, even if he comes, the master will not accept him." The man laughed and shoved Shigeko, "Let's go, let's go, you're wrong." ”
