In the second house, Zhao'er went to pour some hot water, and after the two washed their feet, they got on the kang and rested.
A big bed, two quilts, one for each person.
But Zhao'er couldn't sleep a little today. When she came back from the main room, she was a little excited.
She turned over and over again.
"You do not sleep?"
Originally, it was reasonable to say that they would not rest so early, but today, both of them have been busy all day, so they turned off the lights after Zhao'er got on the kang. However, there is a moon outside, and the room can still be vaguely seen clearly.
Zhao'er sat up halfway and moved to Xue Tingxiang's side.
"Gou'er, tell my sister what did you mean when you scolded the old killer just now?"
Zhao'er can scold people, and has scolded people before, but he has never seen such a way of scolding people, and Yang Zhong is so angry that he just scolded them, and the Xue family didn't even know how to persuade them. In terms of recruiting, isn't this the culmination of swearing, you can swear without swearing
She wants to learn this method, and it will always come in handy.
Xue Tingxiang turned over and gave her a backbone.
Zhao'er poked his shoulder with his finger: "What's wrong? Why are you angry again?"
He didn't move, and she leaned forward a little more.
The two were only one person apart, and they were wearing thin clothes when they slept. Zhao'er leaned over, and even though Xue Tingxiang had his back on his back, he felt a rush of heat coming towards him, mixed with a faint scent that seemed to exist.
There was a strange softness on his shoulders, Xue Tingxiang froze his back, and he heard her say on the top of his head: "Don't put that old killer's words into your heart, it's not that I said that the uncle and aunt have too much heart. It's too much, even after making such a fuss, do you really think that Grandpa will regret it? Even if the family doesn't say anything, there are still so many people watching outside, so don't worry, we'll go to the academy. "
She was very close to him, and the heat of her words sprayed on the tips of his ears, making him tremble and shake. At the same time, a hot numbness rushed up his neck along the tip of his ear, causing waves of unconscious tremors.
His breath was a little tight, and he couldn't help turning over.
Zhao'er was still talking, and she didn't expect that he would suddenly turn over, and his face slammed into her arms all of a sudden.
Xue Tingxiang's brain was blank for a moment, and he fell back subconsciously. It is obviously a touch away, but it is clearly felt a suffocating softness, and there is something bulging.
He remembered some situations in the dream, and only felt that his nose was hot, and something seemed to flow out.
"Are you all right?" Zhao'er heard a thud, and seeing that he didn't move, she thought that he was hit by something, so she was busy and came up to look at his face.
"Why are you panicking! It's true. Come on, I'll rub it for you."
He covered his nose with one hand and pushed her with the other: "I'm fine, it doesn't hurt." He quickly turned over and said, "It's not too early, go to sleep."
"What do you mean by not telling me that!"
"It doesn't mean anything, just let him pee and take a picture of himself!"
"Ah?!" Zhao'er was stunned, and after a while, he said, "So that's what you mean, then you just let him pee and take a picture of yourself, and say so much more."
Seeing that he didn't answer himself, Zhao'er sat down for a while and then lay down.
"Okay, go to sleep, I won't disturb you anymore."
Yang Zhong stayed at Xue's house for one night and left the next day.
Because of the busy farming season, the Xue family resumed their previous work, and no one mentioned the previous incident. It seemed that nothing happened that night.
Everything is so busy, yet full of peace.
On this day, Xue Tingxiang and Zhao'er went to town early in the morning.
Unlike in the past, Xue Tingxiang wore a new dress today.
The clothes were driven out by Zhao'er overnight, because Boss Chen said that he would take Xue Tingxiang to Qingyuan Academy. This trip is very meaningful, and naturally it cannot be as casual as before.
The gray-blue cotton robe was made by Zhaoer imitating those school shirts in the town. Although the style is simple, it looks extra straight and docile after being starched and washed. Although Xue Tingxiang is thin and thin, his shoulders are flat and his back is straight. Wearing this student shirt, he has a special temperament.
When they got there, Boss Chen took Xue Tingxiang out, while Zhao'er stayed in Dongliju.
The two went all the way to the east of the town. The more they went, the more secluded they became. After walking for about a cup of tea, they saw a building with white walls and black tiles standing at the end of their sight.
Seeing Xue Tingxiang's gaze resting on the building, Boss Chen said, "That's the Qinghe Academy." After a pause, he raised his hand and pointed to a building not far behind the Qinghe Academy: "That's Qingyuan. School."
The two walked forward and passed the Qinghe Academy, and they saw that this academy was really unusual. The whole building reveals a magnificent temperament. The gate tower stands majestically. There are several golden characters 'Qinghe Academy' written on the door plaque. momentum.
"It's too late for you to regret it now." Boss Chen said.
With the sound of their voices, the two of them crossed the Qinghe Academy, only to see the small courtyard not far away that was obviously much more dilapidated.
The courtyard is rigorous and simple, with clean white walls and gray-black tiles. Even the door plaque is smaller than the Qinghe Academy, and there are several ancient and simple characters on it—
Qingyuan Academy.
Obviously, no matter where you look, it is not as much as the Qinghe Academy, but standing under the square door and looking at the words on it, Xue Tingxiang felt a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.
"Since the boy is here, I have no intention of regretting it."
Boss Chen glanced at him admiringly and went to call the door.
After a short while, an elderly Zaifu opened the door from inside.
He seemed to know Boss Chen, and without asking too much, he led the two in.
This school may seem small, but the sparrow is small but has all the internal organs. It is no different from the general school hall. After passing the shadow wall, there is a lecture hall on the central axis. There are two fasting houses on the left and right. The temple on the left is built to worship the sage Confucius.
After the lecture hall, there must be She Garden, House, Kitchen, etc. Xue Tingxiang knew the layout without looking at it. Because in his dream, he studied in the Qinghe Academy for several years, but the Qinghe Academy is much more spacious and stylish than the Qingyuan Academy.
Boss Chen led Xue Tingyan to the fast house on the right, and when he arrived at a wing room, he straightened the placket and sleeves of his clothes, and led Xue Tingyan in.
The layout of this wing room is simple and elegant, and there is a large character on the painting facing the middle hall, and on it is written the large characters of "Ning Jing Zhi Yuan". In front of the words stood a thin middle-aged man, wearing a dark blue scribe's shirt and a square scarf.
He turned around when he heard the movement, and saw that his eyebrows were like willows, his face was thin, and he had a few strands of beard. From the appearance, he is a very serious and rigid person, but his eyes are calm and deep, and he is obviously a person of great wisdom.
This person is Lin Miao, the owner of the Qingyuan Academy.
"Brother An Qi, I'm here to bother you again." Boss Chen cupped his hands with a smile.
"Mo's worthy brother."
Lin Miao had a smile on the corner of his mouth, obviously he had a good relationship with Boss Chen. The two chatted, and Boss Chen pointed at Xue Tingxiang and said, "This is the young man I told you about."
Lin Miao looked over.
It is clear that Xue Tingxiang has a wide range of knowledge. He has never seen any kind of people in that dream. Even he has seen a few of them, but he has an inexplicable sense of awe.
"Boy Xue Tingxiang, I have met Mr. Sir." He crossed his hands and bowed in a salute.
Lin Miao nodded: "Since you're here, just stay. The academy will open in ten days, so you can come directly when it's time."
"Mr. Xie."
Boss Chen glanced at Lin Miao and seemed to have something to say. Seeing that Xue Tingyan wisely said that he was going out for a walk, he avoided it.
After Xue Tingxiang went out, Boss Chen said: "Brother An Qi, don't you believe in the vision of being a younger brother? I have watched these days, this child has a calm temperament, is diligent and hardworking, and is quite talented in reading. He is only missing one person now. A good teacher, if you have a good teacher to guide you, you will definitely have an unlimited future in the future."
The reason why Boss Chen said this was because Lin Miao's performance was too bland. He thought that Lin Miao loved the characters, he had read Xue Tingxiang's characters, and there was his lobbying, why should he accept him as a student.
This student is different from the students in the academy, and can be regarded as a disciple. As the saying goes, one day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a father. A young child has more than one teacher from the beginning of the Mongolian school until he succeeds in the examination.
When Mongolian learns, it is called Mengshi, which is the teacher of enlightenment. The clerk is the teacher who teaches the profession, also known as the teacher of scriptures. Those who teach them must pass on their sutras, and those who pass on their sutras must educate others. Therefore, a professional teacher is extremely important to a student. There are other teachers and teachers, not to mention here.
In the words of Boss Chen, "accepting students", the teacher is more like a combination of a professional teacher and a human teacher to the students. It not only teaches the profession, but also teaches the truth of being a human being, which is different from the treatment of ordinary students. Teachers should carefully cultivate them, which can be regarded as inheriting their own mantle.
Of course, students have to pay relatively, to truly be a teacher for one day and a father for a lifetime. This is not a father-son relationship, but wins is a father-son relationship, which is very popular in Shilin nowadays. The intertwined relationship between people in Shilin was based on this foundation and gradually developed into a towering tree.
Lin Miao laughed: "You really value him very much."
Boss Chen chuckled: "If I didn't miss you, you would think that I have the leisure to take care of your business. Don't forget the October competition, if Qingyuan Academy loses again this year..."
Boss Chen didn't say the next words, but Lin Miao also understood what it meant.
He sighed lightly: "Everything is determined by heaven, and if the reality is like this, it cannot be forced."
Boss Chen shook his head and stomped his feet again and again: "Oh, I didn't say you, but your temperament is the most annoying. You talk about the way of a gentleman with others, but others never follow you. Year after year. All were defeated by that villain, and now there are no good seedlings willing to come here to study, what can we do in the long run."
"Brother Mo Zhixian, you don't understand."
"Yes, yes, I don't understand, I only know that if this goes on like this, the reputation of this Qingyuan Academy will be lost in your hands."
After speaking, both of them were silent.
Lin Miao looked tired, and Boss Chen seemed to know that he had made a blunder. He slowed down his tone and said, "I can't do anything about you. Anyway, I brought it to you. I'm really optimistic about this child. As for the rest, you can decide for yourself."
Lin Miao nodded: "Brother Mo Zhixian, thank you for my brother here, but the matter of accepting apprentices will be discussed later. Don't worry, he has entered the Qingyuan Academy, and I will teach him carefully."
Boss Chen also understood where his heart was, but he didn't force it. The two talked for a while, and then Boss Chen said goodbye.
When Boss Chen came out of the wing, Xue Tingxiang just came back.
He was led by Zhaifu to wander around the academy. He could see that the academy was a little old, and the paint on many buildings was peeling off, but every flower, plant and tree could be seen elegant.
Like a place to study, unlike the Qinghe Academy, there is a stench of copper everywhere.
The two left together, and Xue Tingxiang asked Boss Chen about Shuxiu on the way.
After asking, I found out that Qingyuan Academy's beam repair is very cheap, except for the usual six rituals of apprenticeship, only one or two lines of silver a year.
As for the usual boxing ceremony for honoring Mr., it only depends on family circumstances and intentions, whether it is a gift or not. In addition, regarding the matter of dorm school, you can choose dorm school or not, but you must be there every morning. As for meals, you can choose to bring your own rice, or you can choose to pay a certain amount of money every month, which will be provided by the school, which is debatable.
Unlike the Qinghe Academy, which mandates students to do dorms, just to collect the expensive accommodation and meals.
According to Boss Chen, in the past, when the Qingyuan Academy had subsidies from the imperial court, one or two lines of silver were not charged each year, but when the subsidy was lost later, several gentlemen and servants in the Academy had to support their families, so they would be charged. Silver taels.
Boss Chen said with a sigh, and Xue Tingxiang also sighed in his heart.
In his dream, 'Xue Tingxiang' had been studying in the Qinghe Academy for three years. If he had known that Qingyuan Academy existed, Zhao'er would not have been busy for his training. Giving up would not be so desperate, and he would not waste three years in Qinghe Academy.
Fortunately, reality and dreams finally diverged, and the inexplicable Xue Tingxiang felt relieved.
