Gu Jin thought about it, no matter how difficult it was, he would never be sad when he first came here, he didn't even have a house at that time, and now he still has a house to live in.

The entanglement was gone, Gu Jin snuggled in Shen Jingcheng's arms so softly, and took the paper full of words and checked it carefully to see if there was anything else that needed to be added.

Jiang Zhengshu came at this time, and the literati used to make him very well-behaved, even if he saw the door of the house open, he didn't go in casually, but stood in the courtyard and asked loudly.

"Is Shen Li at home?"

When Gu Jin heard the inquiry, he hurriedly got up from Shen Jingcheng's arms, and Shen Jingcheng also tidied up his clothes and went off the kang to greet people.

Shen Jingcheng walked out of the house, saw Jiang Zhengshu standing in the courtyard a little cramped, and asked, "Uncle Jiang, is there something?" ”

"I, I'm ......" Jiang Zhengshu couldn't open his mouth.

"Let's talk about it in the house."

Shen Jingcheng saw that he couldn't say anything, and it was impossible for him to stand in the courtyard with him, so he took the lead and walked into the house.

Gu Jin was tilting his body, propping his arms on the kang table to look at the plan, and when he saw Shen Jingcheng coming in with someone, he immediately sat upright to check if there was any rudeness on his body.

Seeing her like this, Shen Jingcheng suddenly realized that she had grown up and could no longer take people in and out of this room at will, and it seemed that she would have to get a room for hospitality in the future.

But now that Jiang Zhengshu had entered the house, he couldn't let anyone out anymore, so he took Jiang Zhengshu to the table against the west wall and asked him to sit down together.

Jiang Zhengshu entered the house, saw the little girl who rescued him sitting on the kang and nodded politely to him, and quickly nodded in response, and sat down on the chair under the leadership of Shen Jingcheng, nervously stiff.

Seeing this, Shen Jingcheng was not in a hurry, took a clean bowl and poured water on the table next to him, and waited quietly for him to speak.

Although Jiang Zhengshu has not had much contact with Shen Jingcheng, he knows that this person is very wooden, does not know how to deal with people, does not understand human relations, does not know much about farming, does not know much about crops, and his body is still very weak, doing farm work is like embroidery, and it is very slow.

But this person has an advantage, that is, he is sincere, serious, and studious, no matter what you say to him, he will listen very carefully and learn very seriously.

At least Jiang Zhengshu, who couldn't tell the difference between the weeds and grains when he first came, is now very clear about the difference between the two.

Jiang Zhengshu sat precariously seated, opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound, no matter how hard he tried to lift his breath, he still couldn't speak, and after a while, sweat broke out on his nervous forehead, and even his breathing was messed up.

Gu Jin saw that he was nervous like this, and looked at Shen Jingcheng suspiciously.

Shen Jingcheng shrugged.

He didn't know what the old man was nervous about, and he didn't say anything.

Time slipped away little by little, probably because no one urged him, Jiang Zhengshu slowly calmed down. After a long time, he puffed up again, and finally asked: "That, I think, ask, you, do you want to study?" ”

？？

Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng glanced at each other when they heard this, not understanding what he meant.

The most difficult words to say have already begun, and Jiang Zhengshu's next words are relatively smooth.

"I used to be a teacher, I have taught for many years, I see that you are all literate, but you don't seem to be very good at writing, such as the word 'Jiang' in my name, your pen is not right, you should write three points of water first, and then write ......" Jiang Zhengshu said and dipped his fingers in the bowl of water poured by Shen Jingcheng, and demonstrated and wrote on the table.

Shen Jingcheng looked at Jiang Zhengshu, who was demonstrating the correct way to write the font, and his eyes were slightly condensed.

How did he know that he was writing incorrectly?

Then I suddenly remembered that when Jiang Zhengshu first came, he recorded his origin in front of Jiang Zhengshu, and his tense heart was loosened again.

Gu Jin didn't know how Jiang Zhengshu was written, so he slipped off the kang and came to the table curiously, and saw that the words he wrote on the table were upright, much better than what he and Shen Jingcheng wrote, and his eyes were suddenly a little envious.

If only I could write something like this myself.

Shen Jingcheng saw that her eyes were full of amazement, stretched out his hand to pull her to his side, and asked Jiang Zhengshu: "Are there any students you teach who have taken the meritorious test?" ”

"Yes, yes." Jiang Zhengshu nodded again and again, for fear that Shen Jingcheng would dislike himself for being useless, so he hurriedly said: "Six or seven out of ten of the students I teach can be admitted to the children's school, and there are five or six out of ten, and there are only two or three out of ten who are not too talented, and there are fewer jinshi, only one out of ten or two." ”

In the end, Jiang Zhengshu was a little apprehensive.

In fact, there should be more people among his students who can pass the Xiucai and Jinshi exams, but in the end, those people think that he will not be in contact, and he can't seek more ways out of him, and in the final stage, he will find other gentlemen, if you add those people, his students are really talented.

Shen Jingcheng was puzzled when he heard this, people who had not read the book might not understand how valuable the probability Jiang Zhengshu said, but Shen Jingcheng, who had to do it again, knew what it meant.

"If the gentleman is so good at teaching, why did he end up like this?" Shen Jingcheng asked.

A teacher like him will be robbed wherever he goes, right? Why did you end up here alone?

Jiang Zhengshu lowered his eyes when he heard this, and his skinny figure revealed an indescribable depression and pathos, as if he didn't want to answer this question.

Shen Jingcheng and Gu Jin glanced at each other, pulled her to the side of the kang, a little farther away from Jiang Zhengshu, and whispered to her: "This person is not bad at teaching, let's let him try?" ”

After several years of repeated shirks, Gu Jin thought that he didn't want to study, and said softly: "If you don't want to study, you can not read, don't force it." ”

"Who said I didn't want to study?" Shen Jingcheng looked at her clear eyes and lowered his eyes with a smile: "I'm willing, but I haven't met a good gentleman, and I don't want to settle." ”

Seeing him say this, Gu Jin asked hesitantly, "That...... Let's try? ”

The voices of the two were very small, and Jiang Zhengshu, who was sitting on the chair, couldn't hear what they were saying at all, and the two hands that were nervously on his knees kept tightening.

After the end of the autumn harvest, every household in the West Village has a harvest of two acres of land, but because he came too late, it was already past the solar term of cultivating autumn grain, and there was no harvest at all, and he had been hungry for two days since Shen Jingcheng's grain was put into the warehouse and no longer cared about food.

But in addition to teaching, he has no other skills, and even if the people in the West Village are stronger than him, they are not much stronger, and the only one who can let him eat is Shen Jingcheng.

If Shen Jingcheng didn't want to use him, he didn't know how to survive this winter.

Just when Jiang Zhengshu was nervous, he suddenly heard Shen Jingcheng's inquiry: "How many bundles do you want?" ”

Jiang Zhengshu was stunned when he heard this, and after reacting, he was surprised and hurriedly said: "Don't be restrained, just let me eat." ”

He was afraid that he would ask for too much, and he wouldn't even have a chance to eat.

"How's that going to work?" Shen Jingcheng said with a disapproving face: "You see if this is okay, in addition to eating, I will take care of your clothes every quarter, I see that you are old and alone, if you want, I and my wife can be responsible for giving you a pension, if you don't need us to provide for the elderly, I will give you two taels of silver every year, how about it?" ”

The proposal of pension was thought up by him, not that he was not the slightest bit defensive against Jiang Zhengshu, but judging from the performance of this person when he came to Xicun, it was really not threatening, plus a good teacher is hard to come by, if this person's teaching ability is really like what he said, then the advantages of leaving Jiang Zhengshu definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

And if you want to really keep someone, you have to throw out what people crave the most.

Imagine what a lonely old man wants?

The aftermath is definitely on the list.
