The happy life of a prodigal

Page 434

Even, a wealthy businessman offered 1000 taels of silver, just asking his children to study in a liberal arts academy.

Still got rejected.

The reason for the refusal is also very simple, the students for this semester are already fully recruited!

This......

The people in the capital were surprised when they heard the news.

1000 taels of silver can't buy a quota, how powerful is this liberal arts academy?

However, if you think about it carefully, it's normal.

This liberal arts academy was run by the Marquis of Xin'an.

If it is said that there is no shortage of money, Marquis Xin'an can be regarded as the second in Chu, and no one dares to be the first!

The reputation of the Academy of Arts and Sciences started.

It doesn't have much of an impact on the kids reading in it.

But the lives of the people around the Academy of Arts and Sciences have undergone many changes.

For example, many people bought a house near the Academy of Arts and Sciences, and let their children live here, saying that they can be nurtured.

After all, it is relatively close to the academy.

It also means that it is relatively close to Xieyuan and Yayuan, and you will definitely be able to read good books if you get acquainted with it.

Some people even set up small benches outside the academy, hoping to hear the voices inside.

Of course, no matter what they do, it will not have much impact on the children in the academy.

Another morning.

The children arrived at the academy as usual.

But they found that the one standing in front of them was not Chang Ru, but another dean.

It was the Marquis of Xin'an.

"Marquis of Xin'an, where are the gentlemen?"

The children stood in front of Fang Xiu, with doubts on their faces, and asked.

Fang Xiu looked at them, with a warm smile on his face, and said, "Gentlemen are teaching you cultural lessons. Today we don't have cultural lessons, but labor lessons."

Labor class?

The children's faces showed curiosity.

Each one is eager to try.

"Then Xin'anhou, don't you need to study today?"

"Can I skip the math problem today?"

"today......"

The children chirped and asked.

Fang Xiu waved his hand and said, "Today we don't have classes in the academy at all!"

"Great!"

"Finally, I don't have to do arithmetic problems anymore, my brain is going to be dizzy!"

"And that multiplication formula, I've been memorizing it for three days and haven't memorized it!"

"There are also articles taught by Mr. Chang Ru, but I actually don't understand anything!"

At this age, even if they like to study, they will become impatient after studying for a few days.

At this moment, their complaints are the best proof.

Fang Xiu listened, with a smile on his face, looking at them as if he saw himself when he was young.

At that time, I didn't like reading either.

It's just that after leaving the orphanage, I realized the importance of studying and started to work hard.

One of the purposes of setting up this labor class is to let them understand the hardships of labor.

Thus, let them read well.

Of course, physical exercise is also an important purpose.

"Okay, get on the carriage, let's go out of the city today, and work with the farmers!"

Fang Xiu waved his hand.

The children happily got into the carriage.

In their view, the so-called labor is of the general nature of an outing.

Some of these children are the children of merchants, and the other part are the children of poor people.

At this time, the gap between the two is reflected.

The merchant's children happily looked at the scenery outside the carriage.

The children of poor people seem a little timid.

Fang Xiu rode a horse and followed behind the carriage.

Just an hour's drive to the suburbs.

Winter is over, it is spring.

Everything is revived, and there are vibrant scenes everywhere.

At this time, the weeds in the field are also the most.

Fang Xiu bought an acre of land on purpose, just to use it as a labor class.

"Xin'anhou, shall we study here today?"

"Xin'anhou, what exactly is the labor class?"

"Are we going to weed?"

Listening to the voice coming from beside his ears, Fang Xiu waved his hands and said loudly: "The labor class, as the name suggests, focuses on labor!

Today, your task is to clear the weeds in this field, and everyone will give you a basket.

Only when all the weeds in the basket are removed can the task be considered complete!

Everyone has completed the task. Today is the end of this course, and you can go home. Do you understand? "

The children reached out to take the baskets, with excited expressions on their faces, and said loudly: "Understood!"

In their eyes, as long as it is not reading, it is not much different from playing.

Hearing Fang Xiu's words, they all happily ran across the fields.

Those who catch insects catch insects, and those who fight.

Those who really listened to Fang Xiu's words were few...

Chapter 681 Change

It's understandable, after all, it's just a child.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and before you knew it, it was dusk.

However, there are only a few sparse leaves and a few weeds in the baskets in the hands of most children.

It was far from Fang Xiu's request.

"Xin'anhou, can we go back?"

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, many children gathered around Fang Xiu, blinking their big watery eyes, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked.

After Fang Xiu heard this, he frowned slightly, looked at them, and said, "Do you still remember what I told you?"

Several children blinked and shook their heads, expressing their ignorance.

Fang Xiu smiled, looked at them, and said calmly: "Only when your baskets are full can you go home."

"what?"

Several children showed surprise on their faces.

They thought Xin Anhou was just joking, but they didn't expect it to be true.

Seeing that the baskets were empty and seeing the sky getting darker and darker, these children finally became anxious.

Fortunately, Mr. has taught them.

When something happens, don't panic.

Since Marquis Xin'an said to fill up the baskets, he would take them home, and just fill up the baskets.

For a while, these children began to weed seriously.

Seeing this scene, the other children asked questions one after another. After getting the answer, they all followed behind them and started weeding.

Fang Xiu was on the side, watching them.

Seeing this scene, Bai Xiaochun leaned close to Fang Xiu, and said in a low voice: "Master, it's getting dark, look?"

Fang Xiu looked back at him and asked, "What did my young master say just now?"

Bai Xiaochun understood instantly, nodded, and replied: "Understood, young master."

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the baskets became more and more full.

Many children felt sore arms and blisters on their feet.

Looking back at Fang Xiu, he had a pitiful look on his face.

Fang Xiu was expressionless, and said coldly: "At the beginning of this labor class, I said the rules, although you are children, you must abide by the rules.

Don't worry, I have sent someone to explain the situation to your parents.

If you can't finish today, don't go back, just stay here overnight.

At this solar term, there are no wolves at night, and at most there are more mosquitoes, which is fine. "

As soon as Fang Xiu said this, the children burst into tears in fright.

And wolves?

kids...

When one person cries, a group of people cry.

In an instant, crying resounded throughout.

Fang Xiu didn't seem to hear, looked at them, and said calmly: "It's useless for you to cry, and it won't solve the problem.

When will your task be done, when will the day be over. "

The students cried even louder when they heard this.

However, it is of no use.
