Father Du went to Sujia Village again the next day. This time, Father Su and Mother finally agreed to set a date. After all, Su Dong's birthday had already passed, so there was no reason.Secondly, Bei's tiger skin dowry has already been widely circulated in ten miles and eight villages, attracting the envy of many people. Their goal has been achieved, and this is also the time when their brother's reputation is the loudest and brightest. There is light on the sky, and there is more joy, they naturally agree.

Father Du heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, grabbed Father Su's hand and said, "Brother Su! You guys agree, otherwise I don't know how to explain to Qingchen when I go back! He is waiting eagerly!"

Father Su also held Father Du's hand and said: "It's not that we don't want to agree! It's just that there are too many things to prepare at home, and the date before the birthday is unlucky, so it's delayed until now! I'm also worried about your child's overheartedness." , I don’t want my brother!” The last sentence is really sincere, he is not as confident as Su’s mother, he is really afraid that things will be dragged out, and the marriage will end badly, but fortunately, everything is going well .

"How could it be! My Qing Chen is sincere to your Su Dong, what is that called... a deep love, how can he be willing to let him go, we are afraid that you will not be willing to marry Su Dong!"

"Brother Du San! It's all for the good of the child, how can you be reluctant! However, it's finally settled, and we'll get married next month, so we've let go of one of our worries."

"Who says it's not!" Father Du sighed, holding Father Su's hand tightly.

After Du's father came back, he told Du Qingchen about it. Du Qingchen was happy and didn't mention it, but thinking of the family environment, Du Qingchen hesitated again, "Father, I'm about to get married, but the house at home..."

The house where Du's family lives is dilapidated, even in summer it is dark and damp. I don't know how many years old the house is. Anyway, Du Qingchen would rather live in the firewood room of the restaurant all the year round than go home. He doesn't want Su Dong also live in such an environment.

Du Qingchen sighed, "Father, I want to build two wooden houses first, one for marriage and one for you and Rulin, what do you think?"

"It's time for the family to spend money, so why not move in first?" Du's father was dissatisfied. Everyone in the village was like this, so why should his family be special!Even if you want to be special, you have to make money!Now is not the time to be particular about asking for money everywhere.

Du Qingchen said: "Just use wood to build two rooms first, not blue bricks, it will be built very quickly. Find some labor and buy some wood, and it will be finished in a few days. In the future, when we build a new house at home, we can't live there." It is used as firewood."

"Why do you have to build a new house?" Du's father still muttered, Rulin was still waiting to go to school, Qingchen was still getting married, and the family still had business to take care of. These were all important times.

"Father! It doesn't matter if the marriage is a little rough. The house must be built first. I don't want Su Dong to live with me in a dilapidated house." Du Qingchen insisted.

Father Du had no choice but to say, "Let's do it! Let's build two wooden houses first, and use them for other purposes in the future. Anyway, our family will build a new house after making money. Let's take a look at the firewood house and..."

"Study! The other one will be used as a study by Ru Lin in the future." Du Qingchen added.

Father Du nodded and found another use for the wooden house. In fact, he didn't want to live in a dark and cold broken house at home. He was willing to live in a warm and bright new house, so he didn't refuse too much. Du Qingchen saw Yes, and smiled with satisfaction.

……

In the private school, Mr. Liu originally thought that the matter of collecting food money would cause dissatisfaction among many people, so he made a plan. If anyone had any objections, he would punish him for copying the persuasion article and teach him the principles of learning and progress.

"The ancients went to school, often enduring the hardships of hunger and cold. Whether they achieved success in their studies did not depend on whether the conditions were favorable. The reason why I want everyone to order and eat together is to save everyone's time for eating and squeeze out more time. I come to Wenshu to study, and secondly, it is also to let you understand the hardships of studying, and you can’t even bear this hardship, so how can you talk about being an official in the imperial examination and pleading for the people?!" Master Liu felt that his tone was gentle, and he taught in Dundun. He knew private schools There are quite a few children in the village from good families. Whenever they eat, they either send big fish and meat from their families, or go out to find restaurants to solve their own problems. He mainly said this to these people.

In the private school, according to Master Liu, except for the rich and particularly poor students, everyone else would have no objection to ordering food. After all, if you go out to buy food, you eat it, and Du Qingchen also eats it when you deliver it. big difference.The two who are very poor are easy to talk about, he just needs to tell them in private that they don't need to pay them, and the only possible thorns are the very rich ones.

Mr. Liu's attention has always been on the very wealthy group of people, but he saw their eyes sparkle, completely different from the rejection he imagined, and some even cheered and raised their hands, "Master, We are particularly willing to endure this hardship. Really, the ancients had a hard time studying. We have read it when we read books, and we have always admired it very much. So, when will we pay for the meal? What kind of food does the Du family plan to send us every day? !"

"Are you... willing?" Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment. This was different from what he had imagined. He had even thought about the books he would be punished for copying.

"Yes! Why don't you want to?" Finally, I can eat the meals of Du's family every day!Must have chips and sugar water!Many students in their private school are looking forward to this day!

All right!As long as you like it, Mr. Liu feels a little regretful that there is no chance to give them another persuasive lesson.

However, it is also a good thing that the money is collected smoothly. Only the two poor children kept their heads down and said nothing. matter.

The two children looked at Mrs. Liu in surprise, "But... can I eat without paying?"

"Of course." Mr. Liu nodded proudly. Du Qingchen is a student he taught, and he is proud of his benevolence now. "The boss of the Du family said that he is willing to help the poor students who are eager to learn, but, We scholars cannot accept kindness from others without repaying it. You are young and unable to do anything, but you must also be grateful."

"Yes." The two listened to the instruction with their hands down.

"There's no need to spread the word about it. The boss of the Du family said it. He is afraid that it will hurt your face if it spreads out. Only a few people will know about it. Don't go out and talk nonsense. Just treat it as if you paid the money yourself."

"Does he not want a good reputation?" the student asked.

"He doesn't care about this, this is the virtue of a gentleman!" Master Liu said with emotion.

The two students were moved, Qiu Jin said: "That's the case, it can't be regarded as ignorance, I want to go to Du's restaurant to express my gratitude."

"If you want to go, go! The students I teach should be like this." Master Liu nodded approvingly.

"Yes!"

So, Du Qingchen saw two strange students coming together after class in the private school. They were dressed in shabby clothes and even had patches on them. Seeing Du Qingchen, he stood at the door and bowed to him, saluting. Before Du Qingchen could say anything, he ran away quickly.

Du's father also saw this scene, and looked at Du Qingchen strangely, "What are these two students doing? Weird."

Du Qingchen understood in his heart, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't explain to Father Du, and said, "Maybe it's Ru Lin's classmate! I saw you, and I knew you were an elder, so I said hello."

Father Du thought about it, and he also felt the same, but it was still very strange, "Then this ceremony is a bit big." Anyone who meets will bow!

"It's okay!" Du Qingchen smiled.

……

The provincial capital, the prefect's mansion.

Tao Taishou stroked his beard, and handed his second son Tao Xiude a letter, saying: "This time you return to your hometown to worship your ancestors, you must pass through Pingxing County, because your father had a classmate back then, and now you are in Pingxing County. In the county, if you pass by, it is also a courtesy to go to see you now. When the time comes, give this letter to him."

"Yes, I just don't know who my father's classmate is? Why do you want to visit him on purpose? Is it the local county magistrate?" Tao Xiude said after receiving the letter.

Tao Taishou shook his head, "It's not true, it's just a good friend from back then, we haven't seen each other for many years, since you're passing by, you just go to see him, don't you want to be an official, don't you even want the friendship of your classmates?"

"Of course not, father, don't be angry, the son is wrong." Tao Xiude immediately bowed his head.

Tao Taishou said: "At that time, my family was poor and I was often taken care of by him. Later, when I got promoted, I wanted to ask him to be an official by my side, but he was arrogant and straightforward, so he was really not suitable for officialdom, so I had to give up. He is a teacher in Shashan Town, Pingxing County, so you go and pay him a visit, which is also the etiquette of being a junior, and it is also my wish to remember him."

"Yes, my son remembers."

"He has a son, and he sent a letter saying that he would come to the provincial capital to take the entrance examination for children's students. It's rare for me to receive a letter from him." Tao Taishou smiled, "I think this kid is doing well in studies. It's rare for a person like him to speak up. You Go and have a look too, if you are good, you can make friends with him, although you are older than him, but there is no age in the imperial examination, maybe this kid will be able to pass the exam when he grows up, and you can even be a Jinshi. Take care."

"Yes." Tao Xiude, who is already married and has a child, and who will be taking the Juren examination next year, nods respectfully. Although he doesn't think there is any need for a good relationship with a child who is a master's family, but he understands that this is just him. His father's excuse, his father just wanted him to take more care of the child.

No matter!After all, he is his father's classmate, and he has taken care of his father many times. Now, he just needs to take care of him more.

As for friends of the same generation...well...the age gap is too big, he's afraid it's more appropriate to describe it as bringing children.Tao Xiude thought to himself, but didn't speak.

"When you get there, remember to invite this kid to stay at home during the exam, understand?"

"Yes, father, don't worry, the son will definitely handle things safely."

Tao Taishou then nodded in satisfaction.
