"Zi said: 'A gentleman has no food to eat, no shelter to seek peace, is sensitive to things and cautious in words, there is a way and righteousness, and it can be said that he is studious.'" ”

The sky is bright, the sound of books is loud, and the dryness of summer is dissipated by the sound of books and the song of cicadas. This is a private school outside the city, and it is the only one in Changtu. The two large tiled houses connected together were opened up to make a study room, and a large window was opened for convenient lighting. Looking out of the window, there were thirty children sitting in the private school, the youngest was four or five years old, and the eldest was fourteen or fifteen. The tables and chairs used are also very different - they are all brought from home.

There are many people who work in agriculture in the city of Changtu, and the style of learning is very weak, and there are few children from ordinary families in private schools, most of whom are from wealthy families. There are not many serious scholars who want to test their fame, but there are some scholars in Fuxue, who come from all over the city, and most of them are from Egret Town.

"Have all these students already studied the Analects?" Lang Yunshu carried his bookcase on his back and followed Huzi to the bottom of the wall of the private school, a little surprised, "Have you finished teaching 'Three Hundred Thousand' and 'Miscellaneous Words'?" ”

"Three hundred thousand" refers to the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Text", together with "Miscellaneous Words", which can be regarded as a literacy book for teaching children to read. Huzi frowned and said, "I don't know, but the big and small in this school are not the same things." ”

After Mr. Peng introduced Lang Yunshu, the scholar was anxious, that is, he went down the mountain very early with Huzi, and now this school should have just lectured for a long time. Huzi walked in front and knocked on the door: "Old Liu, disturb." ”

The one who was called Liu Lao by Huzi was the gentleman who taught at this private school, Mr. Peng's playmate. The man wore a smoky gown, and was a lean old man, with a goatee, gray hair, and a slight hunchback. When Huzi knocked on the door, he was carrying a ring ruler and patting the table in front of him, scanning the more than 30 schoolchildren below. Huzi's call, the schoolchildren below were silent, and Liu Lao looked at the door.

"Yo, little tiger!" When Liu Lao saw Huzi, his eyebrows raised slightly, "It's strange that you are here." But Mr. Peng can't control you, a wild boy, and sent you to me to study? ”

Huzi laughed: "Old Liu, you take me for entertainment." I'm here to ask for you. ”

Saying that, Huzi turned to one side and asked Lang Yunshu after his birth to come. Lang Yunshu first bowed and saluted, and then took out Mr. Peng's recommendation and handed it over with both hands: "I've seen Mr. Liu Mao." Xiaosheng Lang Yunshu, is a show talent, enrolled in Changtu Mansion, but has nowhere to live, under the guidance of the noble Mr. Peng, I want to find a job as a teacher here in the old man, and I can also share your worries. ”

Liu Lao took the letter, opened it and scanned it, and pressed it on the case: "Okay! Good! Brother Peng said that you can be good, and you won't lose your eyes if you think about it. I also need a postnatal to teach here, after all, I am not strong enough. But I'm going to test you, and will you agree? ”

As soon as Lang Yunshu heard this, he put down the bookcase, tidied up his clothes, and arched his hand at Liu Laoyi: "Old gentleman, please." ”

Liu Lao is only a verbal assessment, and Lang Yunshu is a scholarly family, so naturally he is fluent in answers. Huzi was not interested in what they were saying, his eyes swept over the dog sitting in the front row, and he squeezed his eyes at him.

The dog's heart is bitter! In the past few days, he has been squeezing Lang Yunshu a lot, laughing at people's poverty and sarcasm over and over again. This time it's good, feng shui takes turns, this Lang Yunshu is about to become a new teacher, so what better days for him?

Therefore, the dog stood the book on the table, buried his head and face behind the book, and begged Lang Yunshu not to see himself. But if you can hide for a while, you can't hide for a lifetime, so is it possible to say that you won't come to class tomorrow? Then Zhao Buddha must not scold him to death! When he saw Huzi gloating and smiling evilly on the side, he also squeezed his eyebrows at him, and hated the dog's teeth.

Liu Lao also asked and answered with Lang Yunshu about what you said, Huzi originally wanted to see Zhao Xiaogou's jokes, but he was patted on the shoulder: "Okay, I can catch you." Are you going to go to this private school too? Look where you're going this time! ”

Huzi looked back, and the three souls were scared and lost the seven spirits! The man standing behind him was wearing a black lace shirt, a pair of trousers on his legs, a pair of black-faced leather shoes under his feet, and his wavy hair was scattered and combed into a ponytail—it was the daughter of the prefect's family, Ann Jien!

Not long ago, when I borrowed it in the Drum Tower, Huzi avoided her everywhere, I really couldn't stand the temperament of this aunt, this time it's good, the private school is at the main door, and I asked her to block here! This is not the Drum Tower, does Huzi still have to escape through the back hall of other people's houses?

Thinking of this, Huzi smiled bitterly: "Oh, my aunt! You said it was a coincidence, you had time to wander out of the city, and you met me...... Hehe...... I have something at home, do you want to let me go, I can go back......"

"So cheap for you?" An Xi'en smiled at the corner of her mouth, "You are like a loach, you can't slip your hands, and I won't be able to find you if you run away again." Don't leave today, listen to a day's lessons, and when the school is over, you can teach me a lesson and tell me about your weird things. ”

"Listen to a day's lessons?" Huzi was very puzzled, "Miss...... You're ...... here."

"I'm a teacher here!" At the mention of this stubble, An Xien immediately rejoiced, "How can the children look at those old books?" There are a lot of advanced things in France, which are much stronger than our Qing Dynasty. I have been studying teacher training for so many years, just to come back and be a gentleman and teach readers really useful things! ”

Speaking of this, her face sank again: "It's a pity, my father didn't allow me to teach in the school, and threw me into a private school to teach children, otherwise it would be best to cultivate a broad-minded person from the scholars." Ah...... What's the use of me telling you this, anyway, you are not allowed to leave today, so you can stay here and listen to my lectures. ”

"Good! Very good! Liu Lao praised Lang Yunshu over there, "Sure enough, he is a knowledgeable person, and it is more than enough to teach these schoolchildren." The old man is a widower, and if there is spare time at home, you can stay, and I will promise you three meals a day, and the money will be good every month. ”

Lang Yunshu is when he is down, so what room for refusal, it is good to have something to eat, and he is already very satisfied with doing this job without humiliating Sven: "Mr. Xie Liu took him in, Xiaosheng is a teacher, and he must do his best." ”

"Old Liu, who is this?" When An Jien saw Lang Yunshu, he came over with Huzi's wrist pinched. Liu Lao smiled: "I've seen the eldest lady." From tomorrow onwards, I won't be teaching, so you can get to know each other. This is Lang Yunshu, the new Mr. Teacher, who is a showman. Xiao Xiucai, this is the daughter of the prefect of our city, Miss An, the female champion who returned from studying abroad, and the prefect of Anfu arranged to teach foreign languages here with me. ”

Lang Yunshu was very surprised when he saw An Xien. He came all the way from Songjiang Mansion, and he saw a lot of Qing women in Western clothes, but it was the first time he had encountered it in Kanto. This black dress is not like those luxurious clothes, but more like a convenient wear, outlining the waist, which is also very pleasing to the eye.

An Xien was very generous and stretched out a hand: "My name is Anjien, hello." ”

Lang Yunshu had seen the world and knew that this was a handshake ceremony for foreigners, but he didn't dare, he still bowed and saluted: "Xiaosheng Lang Yunshu, I've seen Miss An." It's just that...... The eldest lady has a daughter's body, and she shows up outside to be a teacher...... Isn't it indecent? This...... Women, they still have to teach their husbands and children well, and learn three from four virtues. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to teach......"

On that day in the inner courtyard of the Yamen, Huzi had seen An Xien's brutal and decisive appearance, and said in his heart that this Lang Yunshu really has no eyesight, isn't this hitting the muzzle of the gun? Sure enough, after listening to Lang Yunshu's words, An Xien was furious: "Rotten! Decline! Ignorant! Pedantic! This is the dregs culture of the Qing Dynasty! That's why I'm going to study teacher training, I'm going to come back to teach! There is nothing in the world that you men can do, but women can't. Women are independent and do not need to be let by your men, let alone succumb to the oppression of your men! ”

The more An Jien spoke, the more excited she became, holding the wrist of a practitioner like Huzi, it could make Huzi feel a little painful, but she didn't dare to provoke An Jien who was angry, so she could only slander this Lang Yunshu for implicating herself. An Jien continued: "If you look at the world outside the Qing Dynasty, people have developed strong ships and cannons, people have built high-rise buildings, and they have invented automobiles, electric lights, and telegraphs. However, our children in the Qing Dynasty can only learn some things called poetry, so we will be beaten. When I returned to my hometown, I wanted to start changing from the scholars and give them advanced knowledge in order to change our Qing Dynasty. ”

Lang Yunshu was so choked by An Xien that he couldn't speak for a while. Liu Lao stood up, pulled Lang Yunshu's sleeve, and whispered in his ear: "The Governor of An arranged to come here to Lao Yu, I can't do anything about it, I can't afford to provoke it, admit my mistake with her, bear it." ”

Lang Yunshu also understood, this is Changtu Mansion, and the official level crushes people to death, not to mention that the person is the daughter of a parent official, and it cannot be provoked. So he saluted again and said, "Miss An, you have taught you a lesson, Xiaosheng...... Xiaosheng is rude, it is Xiaosheng who is short-sighted. Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years. ”

An Jien only felt that it was her own words that woke up this pedantic scholar, and made a look of raising her eyebrows: "Forget it, if you can listen to the words, there is still salvation, and Miss Ben will not care about you." According to the original division between me and Liu Lao, you will teach the students the Analects and literacy in the morning, and I will teach foreign languages in the afternoon. ”

Huzi only felt that he had committed Tai Sui today, how could he meet such a bad star who had overcome himself, and he was thinking about how to slip away from under An Xien's hands, but he was glimpsing the dog snickering at him - it was really the reincarnation of heaven, and the retribution was unpleasant.

Just when the dog was laughing happily, his desktop was knocked twice, and he looked up to see Lang Yunshu standing in front of his desk. Lang Yunshu looked at the dog with interest: "I recognize you, yesterday you and Little Brother Peng ate together in that small restaurant...... I'm not mistaken, am I? ”
