When He Jiuniang heard this, she became interested: "The Kang Xiucai you are talking about is Mr. Kang of Songhe Academy?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's Mr. Kang! Mr. Kang's literary talent is obvious to all, but this day he is jealous of talent, so he can't participate in the scientific examination, in addition to teaching on weekdays, he will also send some calligraphy and paintings to our bookstore to sell! ”

The young man's face was full of regret when he talked about Kang Xiucai, and it seemed that he also felt worthless for Kang Xiucai.

He Jiuniang nodded, bowed her head to a few children and said, "How about giving this fan to Mr. Kang as your apprenticeship?" ”

Leizi was already stunned when he heard the price, is it so expensive to buy a fan?

Now that I heard that it was going to be given to Mr. Kang, I felt even more incredible.

Jiezi asked with some doubts: "When I went out in the morning, didn't the third aunt bring a jar of honey to give to Mr. Kang?" ”

The honey was brought back when the men went up the mountain to cut wood these days, and there was quite a lot, and the children at home liked to drink it very much, He Jiuniang remembered that Mr. Kang seemed to have been coughing, thinking that honey moistened his lungs, so he brought him a jar.

In this era, Mr. Teaching was very respected, and the Lu family was also very approveful.

What the children don't understand is that they are already going to send honey to Mr. Kang, so why do they want to send such an expensive folding fan?

He Jiuniang patiently explained: "Honey is a gift from our family to Mr. Kang, but the folding fan is a gift from the three of you as students to the teacher, which is different." ”

The young man smiled and patted his ass: "Madame is really talented!" ”

Boss Lu became more and more ashamed, he didn't understand anything, if he sent a few children to school alone today, he would definitely make a joke.

Leizi understood, but he also knew that the so-called apprenticeship should be a gift they prepared for their husband, but ......

He looked at He Jiuniang with some embarrassment: "But the third aunt, we don't have so much money and can't afford ......."

He Jiuniang rubbed his head: "I know that you don't have any money, so naturally the third aunt will buy it for you, so it will be regarded as the third aunt who lent it to you, and then return it to the third aunt when you grow up and make money." ”

"Uh-huh!"

The three children nodded again and again, with a smile on their faces, they will definitely repay the third aunt in the future!

The young man listened and realized that these three children did not seem to be the children of this lady, but just nephews, and they were so generous to their nephews, what good people!

A trip to the bookstore, the total cost of 14 taels and 100 yuan, the young man saw that they bought a lot, and directly wiped the discount with zero, the whole 14 taels of silver.

He Jiuniang gave the money and left with a group of people.

After the young man enthusiastically sent them away, he smacked his lips vigorously, sure enough, people are not good-looking, it turns out that they are not very well dressed, and there should be little money, but it is not easy to give the three children in the family to go to school, but I didn't expect to be able to buy a folding fan of twelve taels so refreshingly.

The young man felt that he was too small.

After buying these things, I have to send the three little ones to the school, and there is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy at the door of the school to receive them, and you can enter according to the name and address that you signed up before.

Mr. Kang was not in good health and did not show up for the time being, and two or three servants were also hired to work in the yard.

There are quite a lot of students, and some children have not yet paid the bundle fee, and their parents are queuing up to pay.

Don't worry about these after the three little ones are handed over, He Jiuniang and Boss Lu took a few children, and under the recommendation of the little girl, they went to the backyard to see Kang Xiucai.

Kang Xiucai was sitting under a tree reading in a green shirt, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and he always seemed to have a deep sorrow that could not be dissolved.

He Jiuniang couldn't help but feel sorry for him when he looked at it, there are very few people who can read and get good grades in this era, but they are unlucky and seriously ill, it is difficult not to worry.

She wanted to help Kang Xiucai see what kind of disease she had, but now her medical skills have not come from a source, so she can't easily fall off the horse, and she sees that Kang Xiucai's face is not bad at the moment, and it should not be to the point of being terminally ill.

Then wait a little longer!

Kang Xiucai also saw them, got up and took the initiative to walk towards them.

Because He Jiuniang signed up for the three children at one time, Kang Xiucai was deeply impressed by her, recognized her at a glance, smiled and made a literati salute, and said, "These are the three children of Lu Niangzi's family, right?" Just go to the front yard room and sit down, and you'll be there in the next minute. ”

He Jiuniang squinted and smiled, and then the three children led by Leizi stepped forward and saluted in accordance with what He Jiuniang taught on the road, and said in a proper manner: "Hello Mr. Kang!" ”

Kang Xiucai nodded with satisfaction, and before he could speak, Leizi respectfully sent the folding fan to him and said, "Sir, this is the apprenticeship gift given to Mr. by the three students, and please accept it." ”

Kang Xiucai was a little surprised, he had never had a student in this primary school send a teacher ceremony, not that the students were stingy, but they didn't know that there was such a thing as a teacher ceremony, after all, they were all ordinary people, and they only went to school to read and learn words, and they didn't seek to gain fame, so they naturally didn't know those etiquettes.

There are generally relatively large academies that require apprenticeship ceremonies, and then there are Fuxue, and he was also admitted to Fuxue that year, so he prepared an apprenticeship ceremony for the gentleman of Fuxue.

And he could see at a glance that the folding fan bone was made of high-quality purple gold sandalwood and mahogany, which was very valuable.

The student sent the teacher to the teacher to show respect and love for the teacher, since ancient times there has been no example of refusing to accept the teacher's ceremony, Kang Xiucai took it very generously, opened it, and found that it was his own painting, and was a little surprised, and then couldn't help laughing.

"I have a heart, I like it very much for the teacher."

Kang Xiucai really likes it, the landscape painting painted on the fan is his favorite one, the school has been closed before, there is no income, and he needs to see a doctor and buy medicine, so he has to sell the painting, including this landscape map.

I didn't expect to go around and go back to my hands.

He said softly to the little guy next to him, "Go and get my few lake pens and give them them." ”

Although he prepared a lot of brushes early to give to every child, but because of his limited ability, he bought the most ordinary and cheap kind in the bookstore, which naturally cannot be compared with the lake pen.

The little guy should go down to get it, Kang Xiucai gave it to them with his own hands, and said: "This is for the teacher when he was studying in Fuxue, for the teacher's husband, and now it is given to you, I hope you can also be admitted to Fuxue in the future and gain fame." ”

"Thank you, sir!"

The three little ones took it, they were all very happy, and they glanced at He Jiuniang and Boss Lu with a sense of accomplishment.

Boss Lu reacted at this time, took out a small jar from the back basket and handed it to the little guy next to him, and said very politely: "This is wild honey picked from the mountains, which has the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving cough, which is the intention of our family, and I ask Mr. Kang to accept it." ”

Well, this is also what He Jiuniang taught him on the road, and after He Jiuniang came in, she tried to talk as little as possible and gave them the stage.
