When Qin Yu left the basin, he climbed over the two mountains again, and returned to the position where he had gone up the mountain before.

There were only reins tied to the trunk, and on the ground, there was only a body of jet-black rotten flesh that was already highly rotten and smelled foul.

Among the rotten flesh were the letters and some clothes that had been stored in waterproof packages when they had left. Looking at the rotten situation, it must have been the night before, the horse had been attacked by wolves or tigers.

Holding back his nausea, he picked up the package from the pile of rotten meat.

After finding a river nearby to clean the package, Qin Yu returned to the inn again.

The gate that had been damaged before had been simply repaired, and the big man who had driven the corpse had already left.

After a simple rest, without a horse to travel, Qin Yu could only walk to Quanzhou on foot, preparing to hire a carriage to go to Youlan County.

Ten days later.

Outside Youlan County.

A horse-drawn carriage slowly drove into the city in the setting sun.

When the carriage stopped at the gate of the county government, a young and handsome young man dressed in a Confucian robe came down from the carriage, and this person was Qin Yu.

Glancing up at the door plaque of the county office, Qin Yu let out a sigh of relief, and then took out a tael of broken silver from his arms and settled the cost of hiring a car.

The yacha, who was standing guard at the entrance of the government office, saw the young man standing at the door and did not leave, and looked at each other.

One of them took two steps forward and said, "This is the important place of the yamen, if there is nothing to do, don't stay here!" ”

I couldn't figure out the origin of this person, but seeing that the other party was wearing a Confucian robe, the yacha guarding the door didn't dare to be too rude.

"In Xia Qin Yu, the disciple of the White Egret Academy, who came from Liyang to teach in the school here, according to the law, should have a prophet to know the county here, so he came to visit."

Qin Yu politely said the purpose of coming here, and at the same time took out Dean Xia's letter from his arms, as well as the documents of the Ministry of Rites.

When the yacha guarding the door heard this, he dared to slack off, hurriedly walked down the steps, and respectfully took the letter from Qin Yu's hand.

After seeing that the envelope indeed had the signature of the Egret Academy and the documents of the Ministry of Rites, he immediately warmly invited Qin Yu to wait in the main hall. As for the other person, he had already gone in to inform the magistrate.

In the main hall of the yamen, Qin Yu had just sat down, and footsteps were already heard outside the door.

Soon, a magistrate in his forties, dressed in a cyan official mansion, appeared at the door, with a formulaic smile on his face, and greeted him very warmly as soon as he walked in.

"It's rude and rude, the official was handling official business just now, so it's a little late."

Qin Yu got up and saluted in return, and said, "Your Excellency is polite, and the late life has just arrived." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then sat down.

Yang Cheng opened the document of the Ministry of Rites, and after carefully confirming it, he opened Dean Xia's letter.

After confirming that it was correct, his face also showed a little joy.

"The previous gentleman of Youlan County was unable to teach because of his health, and the official was also very embarrassed about this, but fortunately, Mr. Qin came."

"The adults are tormented by the late birth, just call the late name Qin Yu directly."

"Since that's the case, then the official is not welcome. I was going to let you go to the private school later, but now it's getting late, so I'll go back tomorrow. It's not early now, and it's just time for dinner, Qin Yu, you can have dinner with the official, and it will be regarded as a pick-up for you. ”

"Adults are warmly invited, and they won't refuse when they are late."

Qin Yu did not refuse this, free meals, don't eat for nothing, if you go outside, it may not be better than eating here, and it will cost money.

The two chatted in the main hall for a while, and then someone walked in, saying that they had prepared a meal.

The dinner was still relatively harmonious, and Yang Chen had always been extremely respectful of the three famous academies of the Great Zhou, or there was no one who did not respect them.

After Qin Yu finished eating, he was asked by Yang Chen to stay overnight, and he originally wanted to refuse. But considering that he would go to the school with him the next day, after thinking about people for a while, he didn't refuse.

The next day, after having breakfast with Yang Chen, Qin Yu followed him to the private school.

Youlan County is not very big, from the east city gate to the west city gate, it is only half an hour to walk.

The private school is located away from several main streets, in an alley at the West City Gate.

Blue bricks and white tiles, and there is a door plaque hanging at the entrance, which carries the words "Baicao School".

From yesterday's conversation, Qin Yu was already roughly clear.

There are only about 10 students in the private school, and because the previous husband returned to his hometown due to illness, this course has been suspended for half a year.

Moreover, Yang Chen only saw the Ministry of Rites documents brought by Qin Yu yesterday, so he did not immediately notify those children to come to school, but planned to notify them again today and start classes tomorrow.

There are few students, so this private school is not very large, only the size of a courtyard.

When you enter the door, you will be facing the school where you are teaching, on the left is the study, and on the right is where Qin Yu will live in the future.

After following Yang Chen to understand the situation, he still had something to do, so he left first.

After Qin Yu sent Yang Chen away, he returned to the courtyard, walked into the room where he needed to live in the future, and began to clean up.

And when Qin Yu was cleaning the room, at the door of the Baicao Library, several children in patched clothes were looking inside the door, with a bit of expectation on their faces.

One of the children, who was thin and had yellowish skin, took a look at the situation inside and whispered, "Brother, the academy has reopened, could it be that a new gentleman has arrived?" ”

"It should be, great, the school is finally going to reopen."

"Although the school is open, but the new gentleman, then I'm afraid Shu Xiu will have to be given again, and our family will have some surplus food for the winter, where will the money come from to buy Shu Xiu."

As soon as these words came out, an older child next to the thin child had a slightly darkened expression on his face.

Not only him, but even the children around him were very disappointed.

After a moment of silence, the child said, "Let's sneak in first, if it's a kind old man, maybe we can beg and be exempted from our restraints, do you want to try it?" ”

When the other children heard this, their eyes flashed with a little emotion, but they all had a little fear on their faces, and they lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

The proposed child, seeing the appearance of the others, scolded the coward, nodded his feet, and sneaked in.

The courtyard was quiet, the door to the room on the left was closed, and the school facing the gate was empty. After a general observation, the child who came in turned his gaze to the room where Mr. Naka lived on weekdays.

The door was open, and from time to time a figure could be seen swaying from inside.

The child's heart jumped violently, and he slowly stepped forward, lying on the edge of the door, and through the crack in the door, he saw a slender young man tidying up the room.

Seeing that the new gentleman was actually a young man, the child couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

However, despite the kind of elderly gentleman who came from time to time, the child did not give up because of this, and as long as there was a chance, he must fight for it.

Boom! Boom!

There was a knock on the door.

Qin Yu, who was making the bed, heard someone knocking on the door, so he turned around and looked out of the door.

Outside the half-hidden door, a seven or eight-year-old, plainly dressed child was standing there, looking a little nervous, with his hands behind his back, not daring to raise his head.

Qin Yu put down the things in his hand, slowly walked to the door, and glanced at the small heads of the few thieves who were crowded at the gate, and then set his eyes on the children in front of him.

"What's the matter?"

"That's... Hello sir, I used to be a student of this school Xue Wan, when I passed by here, I saw the door of the school open and came in without permission, I hope don't blame. ”

Xue Wan bowed down and bowed.

Seeing this, Qin Yu hurriedly helped him up, and said with a smile:

"Tomorrow will officially start school, remember to come early, don't delay the morning class, if there is someone you know who was also a student of the school before, just help me tell me."

Hearing this, Xue Wan's face turned red and he didn't respond.

Qin Yu was curious, and when he was about to ask, he saw the child say with a gloomy expression:

"Sir, the student's family is poor, I'm afraid I can't afford to pay the bundle,"

"Shu Xiu? Isn't this a school funded by the imperial court, how could there ever be a Shu Xiuyi? ”

Hearing this, Qin Yu was strange, if he entered the academy or the Guozijian, he would have heard that there was a bundle of cultivation, but the schools in these counties were all paid by the imperial court, and he had never heard of such a thing.

"Isn't Mr. Fei not restrained in repairing?"

"Don't accept it, as long as you study hard in the future, it will be the greatest gift to me, and the cultivation is just a few mundane things, why should you be so obsessed with this false gift."

Xue Wan was stunned at first, and then showed a look of joy.

Qin Yu smiled slightly, and then said: "It's not just that you little guys can't accept the bundle of cultivation, if anyone wants to study, they can come here to listen to my lectures." ”

"Sir, this doesn't seem to be in order."

After hearing these words, Xue Wan did not show a happy expression, but instead showed a worried look.

"This kid doesn't look very old, but this thinking is quite thoughtful, and it's a good piece of jade. Looking at this child, Qin Yu nodded secretly in his heart.

However, Qin Yu didn't care about what he was worried about.

"Don't worry about anything else, just do what I say. Remember, don't miss your morning class tomorrow. ”

Xue Wan nodded heavily, and after giving a deep salute, he left here happily.

Seeing these children leaving, Qin Yu smiled, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he was a child, if it wasn't for that gentleman who also had such a mind, I'm afraid he would only be a person who digs in the field.

The good deeds of that old gentleman made him who he is today, so why not achieve them when he meets such children?

In his heart, Qin Yu said this to himself.
