The woman looked like a shy middle-aged woman, with a child about four or five years old, staring at her big clear and bright eyes, and judging from her dress, her family background could be described as poor.

Lu Shen turned his eyes and found that the shoulders of the two of them were almost wet, proving that they had been waiting outside for a long time, but they did not take the initiative to disturb.

The middle-aged woman said cautiously: "May I ask Master Lu, do you still accept students here?"

Obviously, the middle-aged woman had already inquired about the general situation when she came, and knew that the surname of this down-and-out scholar was Lu.

"Collected. Lu Shen nodded.

The middle-aged woman was a little nervous and asked, "What .....about the tuition?"

Lu Shen said calmly: "Two coins of silver in January." ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman's eyes moved slightly, and her body relaxed a lot.

The regular private school in the town is more than enough for food, not to mention the expensive tuition, which is quite cheap compared to the two.

When the young child heard this, he also seemed a little happy.

The middle-aged woman asked again, "What can the gentleman teach?"

Lu Shen looked at the child and said calmly: "Reading and writing are reasonable." ”

The middle-aged woman nodded with satisfaction, thinking that it would be enough to know a few words for so little silver, and she didn't expect her children to learn too much here.

"Erwa, you have to study well with Mr., don't waste your mother's hard-earned money. The middle-aged woman rubbed the child's head with pity.

The second baby patted her chest and promised.

After paying the tuition, the middle-aged woman said that she still had work to do, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

There were only two people left in the field.

The child named Erwa looked at Lu Shen timidly, kneading the corners of his clothes with both hands, and suddenly remembered that his mother said that the master in the academy actually didn't like children who were too honest, so he plucked up his courage and casually found a topic and asked, "Master Lu, what's your surname?"

Lu Shen said calmly: "My surname is Lu." ”

There was an inexplicable silence in the air.

The child looked down, thinking that this would be embarrassing.

.......

.......

After a while, Lu Shen looked at the child, and then asked, "What do you want to learn?"

The second baby was a little confused, and said: "Read and read." ”

Lu Shen shook his head and said, "I won't." ”

The second baby's eyes widened, and then she thought to herself whether to scold him for snatching back the silver, or run home to find her mother to help.

"I mean, these times are too short, so what do you want to do after you read and write?" Lu Shen asked.

Erwa thought about it and said a little embarrassed: "I still want to be a big official, hehe." ”

Lu Shen didn't have any expression when he heard this, he just nodded and said, "Then read the book." ”

Then read the book.

In the following days, the "Academy" shop in Liushui Street was officially opened, and every morning, there would be a sound of reading aloud out of the streets and alleys.

The second baby was sitting at a wooden table, holding the book in both hands word by word, and her tone was frustrated.

"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away. ”

"If you don't teach, sex is migration. The way of teaching is to be specialized. “

"Xi Mengmu, choose a neighbor. If you don't learn, you will be cut off. ”

The second baby looked focused and her face was immature.

At this moment, he didn't know that the moment he stepped into this room, it would be more than ten years.

......

......

"Mr. ......"

"Huh?"

"Hungry . . . -“

"Didn't eat?"

"My mother is busy, and I eat at night...."

"Eat here later. ”

"No money...."

"If you owe it, you will pay it back when you grow up. ”

"Good!"

......

"Sir, I'm a year older. ”

"Pressing the New Year's money, go buy a few rolls of firecrackers and two kicks, and be lively and lively on the façade. ”

"Do you want to buy Spring Festival couplets?"

"You write, cursive. ”

"Do you have cursive couplets?..."

"Huh?"

"Okay!"

.......

"Sir! My mother said that she would call you to go to the house for dinner! The Lu family released food at the gate, and many people went, and my mother took a lot!"

"Next time. ”

"You always say it's next ....."

"Next time. ”

.......

"Sir, the cow lady on the outer street said that she wants to introduce you to her daughter-in-law, and asked you what kind of one you like?"

"No, you don't. ”

"Sir.... He said that if he likes men, he can also introduce them. “

"Tell him to get out. ”

"Oh....."

......

Years and years, every year is safe.

Spring goes to autumn, and years pass in the blink of an eye.

The ignorant child became a teenager, with red lips and white teeth, but his eyes were still generally clear, and the sound of reading aloud on Flowing Water Street had not changed.

The humble shop on Flowing Water Street still has only one student after many years.

Another day of heavy rain.

The second baby looked at the Analects in her hand, and Lu Shen slept on the recliner next to her.

After all these years, Erwa knows that this teacher seems to have never woken up, sleeping during the day and still sleeping at night.

Sometimes Erwa has a big disrespectful idea in her heart, thinking that Mr. is estimated to be so lazy that he will be down to the point where he is now, otherwise he would have gone to the capital a long time ago.

However, as the saying goes, the son is not ugly and the dog is not poor, so he naturally will not look down on the husband.

When the husband is old in the future, he has a good future, so he should honor his old man, and if he is not productive, then he must honor his old man.

The young man sighed angrily, thinking that the burden behind him was indeed a bit heavy, and he didn't know how strong he was.

Rain trickled down through the cracks in the roof tiles above the shop, almost creating a small curtain at the doorway.

Lu Shen looked at this scene, thinking that many years had passed, and he didn't know what was going on outside, whether it had already passed three months, or even longer.

Despite wasting so much time here, Lu Shen still didn't have the slightest clue.

When he first came to live here and opened a humble shop, he expected that the time would be a little long in the future, so he naturally wanted to find something to do.

And after all this time, nothing worthy of his attention has happened.

The only interesting news is that Lu Yuanyou is middle-aged, marrying a wife and taking concubines, but he has not yet had a son, so in recent years, his good money actions have become more and more frequent.

"Enough. Lu Shen looked at the hour and spoke.

It was noon, and the second baby obediently put down the book in her hand.

After so many years of contact, he found that Mr. had a very strange characteristic.

The children of the ordinary college private school often hold books at sunrise, and they are allowed to stop reading at sunset, but Mr. is the opposite, he lets him put down his books every noon, and he will not say anything when he is tired on weekdays, which is extremely casual.

This question seems to be getting more and more turbulent today, and Erwa finally couldn't help but ask: "Sir, why don't you let me read more books on weekdays?"
