Chapter 194: A gentleman strives for self-improvement

The other two also looked over, and they all showed surprise in their eyes.

Such an outstanding young man, how can he lose half a palm, although the wound seems to be well treated, and the scar is not so hideous and terrifying, but it is not so beautiful in the end.

Mr. Wen looked at Jiaren with his head half-hanging, there was no indignation or shame on his face, and he couldn't help but like this disciple a little more in his heart, at a young age, it was not easy to be so indifferent.

He briefly talked about the dangers he encountered when crossing the mountains, focusing on Jiaren sacrificing himself to save his younger brother, and then practicing left-handed characters, which was a small success.

The three gentlemen's faces changed when they heard this, and their hearts were followed by a moment of surprise and a moment of worry, and when they finished listening, the gentleman who was the first to call out the family was very ashamed.

"What a good boy, if you don't mind, would you like to give us a few words?" We also have some research on handwriting on weekdays. ”

Jiaren nodded in response, and soon, spread out the paper and grind the ink, he thought about it, and wrote a line of words, "Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement!" ”

A teenager, the left-handed character has only been practiced for more than half a year, I can't say how good it is, it is rare in the world, but it is much better than many people who have practiced calligraphy for seven or eight years.

"Not bad, not bad! The pen is steady, the pen is round, and occasionally with a sharp edge, there is a gentleman's way! ”

"Yes, I can't even get a word out of this comparison."

"People often say that hard work is important, but if I want to say that talent is the most important, although this child has lost half of his right hand, but his left hand will definitely shine in the future."

"Brother Wen, Mr. Tang Yuantang from Kyoto has also fallen here, he is our Tianwu left-handed character, there is a chance to take this child to visit another day, if you can get some guidance, this child will be of infinite use."

Mr. Wen was also happy to see his disciple being praised, and nodded in response.

"I am busy on weekdays, and I don't have time to teach this kid much, and I plan to send him to Luo'an Academy. I heard that Mr. Tang was also going to teach in the college, but he killed two birds with one stone. ”

"Haha, no wonder you invited us here to play today, it turned out that we had planned it a long time ago."

"Yes, we all have children in Luo'an Academy, and your disciple hasn't entered the door yet, but I'll find a few classmates and friends for him first."

Several people laughed and teased Mr. Wen, but they were not angry.

The children and nephews in their family are all good at school, and their conduct is passable, but they are born rich and rich, and some do not know the sufferings of the world.

It would be a good thing to have a poor student like Jiaren as a friend.

After a few jokes, everyone was going to go into the water to soak in the hot spring, and the house was naturally more private, but there were many people on the other side of the pool, and a few people were greedy and lively, so they all went there.

Jiaren was free and went back to the valley, where Mrs. Li, Li Lao Er, and Li Lao Si were all waiting with their feet crossed.

Jiayin is not worried, Mr. Wen used to be a little decadent and cowardly, but the power of love is great, since Mrs. Cui and Li, he has exploded into a small universe.

Now not only has he made the imperial history, but he has used words as a knife, so that the old families and the new upstarts dare not provoke, and he has acted more prudently, but if he makes a move, he will not succeed.

If he is not sure, he will not bring people in.

Sure enough, Jiaren rushed back, and his whole face lit up.

"Milk, Daddy, I'm going to study. The teacher found me a college called Luo'an, and there was a gentleman in it who wrote left-handed characters. ”

"Really? That's great! Mrs. Li pulled her grandson and almost had red eyes.

Since the grandson injured his hand, everyone in the family has a stone tied to their hearts, and now they can finally move it completely.

Jia Huan hugged his eldest brother even more, and he turned around twice, and he was going crazy with joy.

"Hongying, Mr. Wen is so busy, he hasn't forgotten about Jiaren, let's thank you. Cook a few good dishes at noon! ”

Mrs. Li shouted to her daughter-in-law, and called her second son, "It's clear on the books, our family pays for the money ourselves, don't go to the public account." ”

"Got it, mother." Li Lao Er was also happy to respond, and he was extremely grateful, if it weren't for his bad skills, he would have been eager to cook himself.

It happened that the village chief walked over, and when he heard about such a good thing, he waved his cigarette bag and shouted at the pot.

"Jiaren is also a child in the village, and reading is a great thing, is it possible that he will not recognize the people in the village when he is out of business in the future? Go to the public account, you must go to the public account! It's time for everyone to congratulate Jiaren! ”

Mrs. Li thought about it for a while, and didn't be polite anymore, "Okay, listen to the village chief." Jiaren will study hard in the future, and when he completes his studies, he will also be the support of our village. ”

Sure enough, the village chief was even happier when he heard it.

Everyone was laughing and laughing, but Li Lao Er remembered about his eldest brother, so he excused himself and went to find Mr. Wen.

It happened that Mr. Wen settled a few friends and came over to ask for tea.

Li Lao Er told him about last night's incident, and said at the end, "Sir, we don't know if the eldest brother has any hardships in our family, so we don't dare to recognize each other." I thought about inquiring carefully about the details of that family, and I heard that that family is a side branch of a big family, and there are also many officials and scholars on the side of the branch. ”

Mr. Wen nodded and responded, "Our family, the Cui family, and even the Liu family have all been inherited here for a hundred years, so they are naturally more familiar than others, and it is easier to inquire about the news." Your family is at ease, waiting for my news. ”

"Yes, thank you sir. We didn't do much to help our family, but we bothered him many times. Li Lao Er said this sincerely, but also with guilt.

Mr. Wen smiled, "We are born and died together, and Jiaren is my disciple, and they all say that one day is a teacher and a father for life, so I still want to rob you of my father, so let's not be polite." ”

Li Lao Er also laughed, this matter is over.

Mr. Wen and a few friends ate a sumptuous meal at noon, and even drank a few glasses of wine, and when they were slightly drunk, they went down to the hot spring pool, and the wine quickly steamed out.

When the sun set on the western hills, they took a comfortable farewell.

On the second day, Li Lao Er couldn't hold back his excitement, took Jiaren and Jiayi, and prepared to go to see what Luo'an Academy was like.

The accounts of the valley were handed over to Liu Dart's daughter-in-law.

Sister-in-law Liu is originally from Jiangnan, she has been reading and learning since she was a child, and she is gentle and careful.

In the past few days, she has been helping with logistics, following the accounts every night, just to prepare for Li Lao Er's troubles, and the accounts in the valley will not be taken care of.

At dusk, this side of the valley is basically busy, and the accounts are clear and clear.

Everyone was happy, and the village chief personally set eight jobs for Liu's sister-in-law, and let her give Li Lao Er a hand in the future.

This is the second senior worker among the women in the village, the first is Tao Hongying.

The women felt that Sister-in-law Liu had given them a long face, and they were close to each other on weekdays, so they asked Tao Hongying to fry two dishes, fill a pot of wine, and simply congratulate Sister-in-law Liu.

When the men found out, they didn't dare to stop it, and they laughed in private, saying that they were worried about the loss of their family status.

Nowadays, the women in the village also receive a share of their work and earn wages, not much less than them.

On weekdays, when I am in a bad mood, I can still scold a few words, but now I don't dare to say a word.
