In the Ye family study, several students were sleepily propping their heads.

Today is another rainy day, some students helplessly spread out the books and shook them, as if this can get rid of those inseparable tides, he shook and yawned his partner next to him and said: "Eh, Mr. Song, usually at this time, he has already whipped people's palms, why don't you see him today?" ”

The partner rubbed his eyes: "I don't know, who cares about him, anyway, I can't understand a word of his lectures, so it's okay if you don't come." ”

The student wanted to say something to persuade him, but he didn't say anything after all.

The atmosphere in the clan is as oppressive as this rainy weather, and someone took the lead in talking, this person is the grandson of Ye Qiong's third uncle, Ye Qiong's second brother, named Ye Ban, he said: "Eh, have you heard, the youngest daughter of the third room of the Yan Branch, called Sister Qiong, worshiped the old Confucian Mr. Zou as a teacher!" ”

Someone sneered and replied, "Who doesn't know about this." My parents talk about how good she is at home every day, let me learn from her, and my ears can afford to hear calluses. ”

Ye Ban sneered and said, "That's no way, that's a girl from Yanzhi, don't look at her father is still in prison, her mother was born in the Xie family in Jiangnan, and she can't compare with us." ”

The students sighed, and a slightly honest voice sounded out of place, saying: "Brother Ban, Sister Qiong is a girl's family, you can't say this, it's not good." ”

Ye Ban looked over, and the person who spoke was a generation higher than him, named Ye Zhiyou. Ye Zhiyou's grandfather Ye Renliang is Ye Qiong's grandfather Ye Ling's own uncle, Ye Qiong wants to call out his great-uncle, Ye Renliang had a good relationship with Ye Qiong's grandfather Ye Ling when he was young, and even the one with them was taken care of by the Yan Branch.

It's a pity that none of the descendants of Ye Zhiyou's branch have the same reading talent as Ye Ling, and they are already the top of the sky in the examination, and now they are just buying dozens of acres of fertile land with the help of the Ye family's descendants to live in the grange and farming.

Ye Zhiyou really doesn't have much talent for reading, but he is straightforward, and he just can't look past it.

Ye Ban snorted coldly, and just as he was about to theorize, he saw his own brother Ye Ji hurriedly running into the school, and shouted: "Oh no, Master Song ran away, and even took the other Chen Fuzi and Tang Fuzi away, and they don't teach us anymore!" ”

The whole school hall was silent for a moment, and then there was a lot of chatter, and Ye Ban jumped up first: "What's the matter, why don't you teach?" Didn't Song Fuzi invite a few people from the big house of the Yanzhi Branch, and they just left? ”

Ye Ji slapped the table hatefully and said, "It's not because the big house of the Yanzhi branch and the two uncles and cousins who are officials in the third room are in prison, so that Master Song and they are afraid!" Damn, even a scholar dared to dictate to me, and said that the master would never teach us from now on, and went to the He family of Shangshu of the Criminal Department to teach. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, and they were about to make a fuss to ask for an explanation, but Ye Lang, who heard the news, hurried over, with beads of sweat on his forehead, and said: "Be quiet, be quiet, listen to me." ”

The students quieted down, Ye Lang wiped his sweat, bowed his hand to them, and said, "Master Song, Master Chen, and Master Tang suddenly resigned, and I just received the news. Please also don't be impatient, today's clan studies will be dispersed here, and I will invite another gentleman to come over in a few days. ”

A student immediately asked: "In a few days, when will it be, don't be blinded by us, we are still waiting to learn!" ”

Ye Ban immediately replied: "Don't invite another Song Fuzi like that, we are not good at learning, and we are blamed for being stupid!" Now I'm running on my own. ”

Ye Lang hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will deal with this matter with my eldest sister, you can rest assured." ”

Someone muttered in a low voice: "Master Song was invited by your eldest sister." ”

Ye Lang didn't know how to answer, so he could only pretend that he hadn't heard it, and went to deal with the chores after explaining a few words.

Since the death of his grandfather Ye Ling, the genealogy has declined, and now that his father and third uncle are in prison, Ye Lang is powerless to manage this ethnology.

A group of students hurriedly packed up their things and prepared to leave school, their faces were a little indignant, Ye Ji glanced at Ye Ban, Ye Ban grabbed the students, and shouted: "Eh, why do I think, why is this big house so unreliable?" Master, do you really want to get it? ”

Ye Ji said in a timely manner: "I also think that the previous ones taught everything, and they couldn't teach anything well, but don't have another one!" If only there was a better Master......"

Ye Ban hurriedly spoke, and suddenly said: "I said just now, Sister Qiong, who is in the third room of the Yan Branch, didn't she worship Mr. Zou as a teacher?" Mr. Zou is a great Confucian in the world, if I can let Sister Qiong invite Mr. Zou to come......"

Some students hesitated: "That's Mr. Zou, will you really be willing to teach us?" ”

Ye Ban said "hi" and said, "Even if it's not Mr. Zou, then you can ask Sister Qiong to ask Mr. Zou to recommend someone, and the person recommended by Mr. Zou will not be bad." And Sister Qiong is a closed disciple of Mr. Zou, in this world, he can be accepted as a closed disciple by Mr. Zou, there is a mountain chief of Wenshan Academy, a member of the Heavenly Family, and a disciple who has just been accepted is the prince of South Korea, and he is only in name. Even if she doesn't ask Mr. Zou, it's good to beg her brother! ”

The students were stunned when they heard this, they only knew that Mr. Zou was good at learning, but they didn't know that he was so good at learning that he could accept the most noble people from the family in Beijing as disciples, Ye Qiong really worshiped a great master!

Ye Ji said: "I see, our clan learns this matter, instead of waiting for the big house to help, it is better to ask for the third room, not to mention Sister Qiong, her mother is from the Xie family in Jiangnan." What kind of family is the Xie family, plucking a hair is thicker than our waist! Let's go back and talk to the elders of each family. ”

The students nodded ignorantly, and even Ye Zhiyou had no objections.

This is a good thing for Xiang Xue, and being able to invite the best teacher is naturally beneficial to Ye Family Learning.

Ye Ban and Ye Ji glanced at each other, and sighed in their hearts that Uncle Ye Chanyan's plan was really good.

This matter was discussed between Ye Chanyan and their grandfather Ye Min, that is, Ye Qiong, who wanted to shout the third uncle.

Since Ye Ling's death, no one in the Ye family has paid attention to Ye family studies anymore, and even Ye Yu invited his master, just with the purpose of making the children of the Ye family's side branches read and reason.

It's okay for those masters to be enlightened, but they really teach knowledge, but they are too much to use, and they will only mislead people's children!

Ye Min had long wanted to "invite" these masters away, but now that Ye Chanyan gave him an idea, he followed Ye Chanyan's wishes and asked Sister Qiong'er, who was in the third room of the Yan Branch, to find a way to invite some good teachers.

This is an upright conspiracy, and there is no harm to the entire Ye family, Ye Min has no opinion, but said that it should have been done a long time ago, so he called Ye Ban and Ye Ji to handle this matter.

And the descendants of the side branch who returned home told the elders of the family about the clan study, and several of the elders of the side branch got together, and finally the third uncle Ye Min, who was the most prestigious in the side branch and had secretly passed through the qi with Ye Chanyan, took the lead and said: "The matter of clan study is important, and the big house of the clan branch is incompetent, and we are not good to come forward directly." In this way, I'll go and ask the second room to come forward and help us talk to the third room, it's best to invite a good master, if not, there will be no loss to us. ”

Ye Min knew in his heart that if he couldn't, he was afraid that he would offend all the side branches; If you really can, it will be to slap the face of the big house and fall out with the big house.

But what does this have to do with him?

……………………

Since the soul calling case, Mrs. Shen has not taken much care of the affairs of the Ye Mansion, and has only handed over the matter to the Xie family and Ye Qiong, which is also her trust in her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

But now, Mrs. Shen had to sit on the main seat with a cold expression, and Xie sat on the other side of Mrs. Shen, with a smile on her face that was a little reluctant.

Ye Qiong's fifth uncle, Ye Qizhu, was also there, while Ye Jin and Ye Yao stood beside the Xie family, and everyone's expressions were the same solemn.

Several clan elders who came with him were a little uncomfortable, but Ye Chanyan took the lead in speaking and saluted Mrs. Shen: "Please forgive my mother, I am acting for several clan elders, I want to ask Sister Qiong if she can help, please move Mr. Zou personally, or ask Mr. Zou to recommend a few people to teach in the Ye family." ”

Mrs. Shen said coldly: "Hasn't this matter always been handled by your eldest nephew Brother Lang and eldest niece Sister Yu, why did you ask Sister Qiong!" ”

Ye Chanyan didn't answer, and the third uncle behind him, Ye Min, said first: "Mrs. Tai doesn't know, the Song master in the original family study was invited by Sister Yu, who knew that they would resign together like this." Now that the two of the big house and the third room are both in prison, we are afraid that we will not be able to hire a good gentleman only with the big house? ”

"Even if you say that, you shouldn't ask for Sister Qiong'er!" Mrs. Shen coldly put down the teacup, "Sister Qiong'er is only a few years old, twelve years old, and she hasn't even reached it!" You coerce a little girl to use her face to ask her master for favors, do you still want to be embarrassed? I'm so mad for you! ”

Mrs. Shen's words were ruthless, but it was not unreasonable, and several clan elders blushed at once, but they still gritted their teeth and insisted: "We can't help it...... Mrs. Tai also knows how important it is to learn! For so many years in the Ye family, there are only a few sons of yours who have been admitted to the Jinshi, doesn't Mrs. Tai want the Ye family to have a few more promising children? ”

Mrs. Shen also blushed when she said this, but she was not angry, but more sad and ashamed.

Yes, before her husband Ye Ling died, she had told herself to strengthen the Ye family, and now that the clan has made such a fuss, she is also responsible.

But she also feels sorry for her granddaughter, Qiong'er shouldn't be coerced like this!

Fortunately, Qiong'er happened to go to Mr. Zou for routine study today, and she didn't catch up with this time......

Mrs. Shen woke up suddenly.

No, no, maybe they came here when they pinched Qiong'er to go to Mr. Zou to study, and when Qiong'er came back, the clan elders saw that Qiong'er and Mr. Zou had a very good relationship, and Qiong'er couldn't shirk the matter!

Mrs. Shen was thinking about whether to let someone intercept Ye Qiong, and Ye Qiong's voice was already heard outside the courtyard: "Granddaughter Ye Qiong, come to ask for peace to grandmother." ”

Ye Qiong was led in by Mother Feng, and when she saw the room full of people, she showed a little surprise and ignorance just right, and first smiled and saluted to Ye Renliang, the great-uncle who was the most senior in the room, and said, "What's the matter today, why have all the clansmen arrived at Xinghua Hutong?" ”

Mrs. Shen was full of anxiety and distress, called Ye Qiong over, and told her what had happened.

Ye Qiong had already roughly known what had happened when Ye Er hurriedly brought the words to Mr. Zou's house, and at this moment, when she heard her grandmother talk about it, she just nodded slowly from time to time, patted Mrs. Shen's hand to appease her emotions, and only after listening to it did she frown, and said to the second uncle Ye Chanyan and the clansmen: "I know the matter." But with all due respect, this is not appropriate. ”

Ye Qiong refused simply, everyone's faces suddenly looked bad, Ye Chanyan smiled and mediated in the middle: "The clan elders have also seen it, Sister Qiong'er is also in trouble......"

Ye Qiong sneered in her heart, it seemed to be mediation, but in fact she was still provoking.

Ye Ji, who was traveling with his grandfather, couldn't help but shout hatefully: "What's the difficulty, it's just to look down on us!" ”

Ye Qiong didn't get angry, she shook her head slowly and said, "It's not that you look down on it, it's really inappropriate." ”

There was still an argument here, and Ye Lang, Su and Ye Yu in the courtyard also arrived, and they were led in by Feng's mother, and the faces of several clan relatives were a little embarrassed.

After all, it's a bit embarrassing to say bad things about people behind their backs and be known.

Ye Qiong greeted Ye Yu and his party with a smile, and said with a smile: "You are also here, that's right, let's listen together, why do I think it's inappropriate to ask my master to recommend the master of clan studies." ”

Ye Yu knew that Ye Qiong had an idea in his heart, so he nodded and led the others to sit down, and Ye Lang arched his hand to Ye Qiong in shame.

Ye Qiong bowed slightly, then picked Ye Ji, who had just spoken, and asked, "Cousin Ji, how do you rank in the family studies?" ”

Ye Ji was a little confused, but still replied proudly: "Although I can't learn as much as Cousin Qiong, I can also rank first and second in clan studies." ”

Ye Qiong nodded, opened her mouth and asked, "What is the solution to teaching students according to their aptitude?" ”
