Wen Yi was a little stunned: "You...... What do you want to do? "Singing? Isn't Willow Street lively enough now?

Liu Dongxing winked at her with a smile: "Don't worry, even if we want to sing on stage and join in the fun, we won't be ugly." If you want to sing it, of course it has to be a good play."

Wen Yi didn't understand, but early the next morning, Liu Dongxing personally visited Liu Fu and invited all the uncles to discuss important matters together, and she guessed his intentions.

Liu Dongxing made a suggestion to the elders of the clan, that is, to establish a clan science belonging to the Liu clan.

The history of the Liu family is not as long as that of the Gu family, and before Liu Dongxing's grandfather was promoted from the scientific examination to an official, there was never a figure who took the career path, just because the clan has a lot of private property and many children are studying, so it can be called a big family in Heng'an. With the two generations of children as officials in the long house, and climbed to the royal family as in-laws, the Liu family can really be called a famous family in Heng'an, and the clansmen also pay more and more attention to the education and knowledge of their children. However, the Liu family did not have a clan study, and only relied on their own skills to send their children to various schools in the city. If you have better homework, you will go to official school; If you are slightly inferior, go to the attached library of the scholarly family in the city, or invite a gentleman to teach at home; If you really don't have talent, you will find a museum and study casually for two years, and if you don't become blind, you will have nothing to do.

Liu Dongxing previously proposed to take a few little brothers south to study in Cannes, which was tantamount to a kind of support for the Liu family, but for various reasons, the only one who was really willing to participate in the end was Dongjing, the second son of Master Liu San. After hesitating, other people's parents decided to let their children study in Heng'an for two years first, and it would be best to be able to do this, if not, it would not be too late to go south to Cannes. There are also some people who see that Changfang wants to be Dongjun's teacher, so they have the idea of annexing the museum. No matter what, Changfang has also had two big officials, needless to say that Liu Fu's knowledge is in charge, and it must be good to be able to be invited by him to teach his son. Although Liu Fu is no longer an official, after all, he has been an official for so many years, and he may be able to teach his children some tips on how to be an official.

They had also discussed this matter with Liu Dongxing in private, of course, it was very vague, not to ask for advice, but to get his understanding. They didn't mean to dismiss the face of the eastward journey, but because the weather was too cold, and it was nearly late, and they were reluctant to have children. If they really send their children to Cannes in the future, they still have to ask the eastbound to take care of one or two.

Liu Dongxing was noncommittal about this, but within two days, he suddenly put forward a proposal to establish a family study.

He said: "Our Heng'an Liu clan is a famous family, the children of the clan read more poetry and books, there is no school of their own, they can only be attached to the museum outside, or go to the official school, the younger brothers work hard every day, not to mention, the gentlemen teach more students, and they may not be able to do their best to the younger brothers." According to me, there are also people in each room of the clan who extend their own teachers, and the second uncle was still looking for a famous teacher to teach the younger brother in Heng'an a few days ago, so it is better to find a house in Liujie, carefully clean it up, and set up a formal school, and invite one or two teachers to come to the hall to teach the children in the clan? ”

Liu Fu's body moved slightly, and he smiled lightly: "The idea is good, it's just ...... The children of our clan are not without a place to study, so why bother to mobilize the people? Whether it is the official school or the schools in the city, there are famous teachers, and the children have learned from those gentlemen for so many years, and they are all used to it, and those gentlemen are more familiar with their homework. Dongjun is far away from Jingshi, so he has to choose another famous teacher to ask for advice, but others are different, if he rashly changes his husband, it will hinder their homework, how can it be good? ”

As soon as he said this, the people of the various clans were originally moved by Liu Dongxing's words, so they hesitated.

Liu Dongxing said with a smile: "My nephew's suggestion is actually beneficial. Although the sudden change of husband and school place may make the younger brothers feel unaccustomed, the overall advantages outweigh the disadvantages. First, with the study of ethnicity, the younger brothers only need to go to school on Willow Street, which is convenient for them to come and go, and the family does not have to worry about what accidents they will encounter on the road, nor are they afraid that they will be cold and hungry in school; Second, Mr. is specially hired by our Liu clan, so he will naturally be more attentive to the children of our family, if any younger brother is naughty for a while and delays his homework, Mr. can also inform his parents immediately; Three...... With the reputation of our Liu family, there is no school, which is too detrimental to the dignity of the famous scholarly family. Outsiders talk about our Heng'an Liu family, who doesn't say that we are a real famous family? However, when asked which gentleman our children are all worshipped, how do we answer? It's okay to go to the official school, but those who are attached to the museum, don't they give their credit and fame to other families? Obviously, none of those families can match ours, but they have their own private school, so we can only attach their pavilion."

"Brother Xing'er is right," said Fourth Master Liu, "In fact, Brother Xing'er's grandmother also raised the matter of clan studies back then, but at that time, his grandfather was an official abroad, which was inconvenient, and he didn't know where to draw the use of clan studies, and there was no one else in the clan who could preside over the overall situation, so he put it aside for the time being." It's really ...... that Brother Xing'er can mention this matter again today" His eyes were red, and he raised his sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes, seemingly very excited.

Mrs. Liu Qi coughed lightly twice and said with a smile: "The fourth brother also agreed with this proposal very much back then, but in the end, he was the most sad if it didn't work out." Brother Xing'er's proposal is really good, no matter how good the school outside is, how can it compare with our own? With our family's reputation in Heng'an, it is really embarrassing that there is no genealogy. He turned to Liu Fu, "Old 2, you are the head of our Liu family, and you are still in charge of this matter, what do you think?" Actually, you originally planned to invite a good gentleman to teach Brother Jun and Brother Qiao, and you also said that children from other rooms can come to the annex, which is no different from what Dongxing said, but it is just to let Mr. teach a few more students. ”

"yes, yes." Everyone also agreed, Liu Fu's face was slightly better, but he was still reluctant: "The one I plan to invite is Mr. Dongyuan, a famous scholar in our Heng'an City, who is the champion of the first emperor, and he has been a Hanlin and is famous, which is different from ordinary Mr. I took Dongjun to the door several times in person, and asked him to read Dongjun's article, and he had the intention of relenting. Now that the matter has not been decided, wouldn't it be offensive if I suddenly told him that I wanted him to teach a few more elementary school students in addition to Dongjun? It's not that I praise my own children, Dongjun's learning is probably better than his brothers, and if I take the same class, I'm worried that other children won't be able to keep up. ”

Liu Dongxing smiled slightly. He had already inquired about it, and Liu Fu intended to ask Mr. Dongyuan to teach Dongjun, but with Mr. Dongyuan's talent, who was not a guest? There are not no talented young people in Heng'an City, and a generation of scholars and historians can't deign to teach a concubine. But Mr. Dongyuan's family is mediocre, and he has recently been troubled by the unfavorable scientific examination of his only son, if Liu Fu promised to take his only son, he might agree. In Heng'an, there are many people who know that Liu Fu has resigned, but those who know that he is no longer powerful in the past are limited to some members of the Liu clan. If Liu Fu wants to deceive people, he can really succeed. However, for the sake of his son's future, Mr. Higashihara can teach a concubine who is quite talented in learning, but it does not mean that he is willing to be a private school teacher for a few teenagers with mediocre homework.

This truth was understood by the Liu clan people present, but there were still some people who were confused by Mr. Higashihara's name and had some delusions: "Mr. Higashihara? That's a great talent, if he teaches us Brother Zhao'er, then our Brother Zhao will definitely be able to name the second brother on the gold list, you must invite him here."

Liu Fu was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, another person interjected: "Although Brother Jun'er's homework is slightly better than our children, as long as Mr. Dongyuan teaches with his heart, our children will definitely be able to catch up soon.

"Why should you ask your husband to teach your son more lessons? Who doesn't know that your son is famous and talentless, and he has studied a three-character scripture for a full year, according to me, with his knowledge, it is better not to lose face in front of Mr."

"Isn't it? Besides, what kind of character is Mr. Higashihara? How could he go and teach your stupid son for the sake of greedy for a few taels of silver? ”

"Who says our kids are stupid? He just didn't meet a good gentleman who was willing to teach him with his heart......"

"Cough" Liu Dongxing coughed heavily, and everyone in the room gradually stopped making noise, exchanged glances with each other, and they were all a little dumbfounded. Liu Dongxing invited them here to make a good suggestion for the benefit of the whole clan, but as soon as Liu Fuyi threw out the bargaining chip of Mr. Dongyuan, they actually left him aside.

Liu Dongxing still had a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to care about this: "If the second uncle can invite Mr. Dongyuan to be Jundi's teacher, then I believe that Jundi's knowledge will rise sharply, and it will not be difficult to honor the ancestors in the future." It's just that...... What the second uncle said also makes sense, Mr. Higashihara is good, but it is indeed too offensive to ask such a great talent to teach ordinary students, if you accidentally offend people ruthlessly, Mr. Higashihara waved his sleeves away, and the news spread, outsiders will inevitably laugh at our family for being too big. ”

He paused, "It's better to be like this, if the second uncle really invites Mr. Dongyuan, he will ask him to teach Jundi full-time, and the other children in the clan will go to the clan school." We asked two gentlemen, who were solid, steadfast, and patient, one to enlighten the younger children, and the other to teach the older children the Four Books and the Five Classics. If any child is excellent in his homework, he can get into the eyes of Mr. Higashihara, and it is not too late to come to the Nagabo Annex. In this way, with the clan study and the husband, the younger brothers can be carefully taught, and the homework of the younger brother will not be delayed. Second uncle, what do you think? ”

Liu Fu glanced at Liu Dongxing, a little unsure of his thoughts. The study of clan building is indeed a great merit in favor of the Liu clan, and if it is done, it will greatly increase the prestige of the proposer. He has been an official outside for many years, and now he has just come back, and when he finishes taking care of the trivial matters at home, he may not be unaware of this, but Liu Dongxing brought it up first. Liu Dongxing's relationship with him has improved a lot, but this kind of thing should be proposed by him, the patriarch. But Liu Dongxing's words excluded him while establishing genealogy. If the clan study is completed, there will really be a few talents, lifters, and even jinshi in the clan in the future, then who will they be grateful for? Even if Dongjun embarks on a career in the future, it will be difficult to borrow connections from his family, right? After all, he didn't study with his other brothers.

Liu Fu was hesitating, but the others felt that Liu Dongxing's proposal was very good: "Brother Xing, this is a good idea, let's not fight, if the child is angry, naturally you can worship everyone like Mr. Dongyuan as a teacher, but if it is not that material, it will save you in vain." Some people were not very happy, but they reluctantly accepted this solution.

Fourth Master Liu also said: "Our family Brother Jing'er's homework is better than that of other brothers, and he is a little older, I think he should continue to go south to study at Cannes Academy, if he can't pass the exam, it's the same if he comes back to study ethnicity." ”

Eighth Master Liu said with a smile: "Forget my little grandson, it's cold, he's young, if the clan study is built quickly, let him study at home for a year and a half, if he can read it, it's not too late to go to Cannes when he's older." ”

Liu Dongxing also smiled: "In fact, not everyone among the younger brothers is talented in poetry and writing, according to me, even if you can't study, don't waste it." If the children of people like us go into business, they can't pull off their children, and they have nothing to do at home, but they are delayed. It's better to set up a martial arts academy in the school, and invite a veteran who has retired from the army to come back and teach his younger brothers archery, horseback and archery. The imperial examination is both literate and martial, maybe our Liu family can produce a few more young generals like me, even better than me."

When he said this, the eyes of several uncles lit up. Their sons are not very good at schoolwork, and they are notoriously stubborn, from childhood to adulthood, countless times into trouble, they do not know how many beatings, and do not see the child repent. But if they can make achievements in martial arts, even if they are martial artists, it is better than being a prodigal. And compared with going directly to the garrison to join the army, the martial arts examination is naturally more decent.

They immediately agreed: "That's a good idea." ”

"Brother Xing, you have to ask a good master to come back"

"To be good at martial arts, good at riding and archery, it is best to have fought on the battlefield and have been an official"

"Yes, those who have been officials are much stronger than small soldiers, how can a small soldier be enough?"

"It's best to have passed the martial arts exam"

"As long as you invite someone back, I'll be the first to send the child over"

"There is green smoke on the grave of our ancestor of the Liu family, Brother Xing, if you really do this, it will be a great contribution to our Liu family, and my uncle and aunt will never forget your kindness in this life."

Liu Dongxing grinned: "Uncles, don't worry, I'm just proposing, how you want to act in the end depends on what the second uncle means."

Everyone's eyes brushed towards Liu Fu, Liu Fu's face was expressionless, and it took a while before he showed a reluctant smile: "Since it is a good thing that is beneficial to the clan, as the head of the clan, of course...... I won't disagree."

Liu Dongxing smiled and clasped his palms: "Second uncle agreed, this is really gratifying, I am willing to take out fifty taels of silver, and add the clan land allocated to me in the clan to provide daily use for clan studies." Grandfathers, uncles and uncles, if you have plenty of money, you can contribute to the clan's learning, this is a major event related to the reproduction of the clan and the bright future of the clan."

The elders of each house were slightly suffocated, and soon led by Master Liu Si, they donated money and materials successively to express their support for this plan. Master Liu Si even took the lead, and after donating an idle house, he offered to come forward to preside over the affairs of the clan study. Liu Dongxing smiled and did not object. Therefore, before the Liu family's genealogy was completed, more than 100 taels of funds had been raised, as well as a small courtyard, as well as four treasures and books in the study.

Liu Fu looked at the scene of everyone's bravery, and felt a little uncomfortable.
