Shen Dahai decided to market these gadgets in batches. The jigsaw puzzles that first appeared on the market made him a lot of money, and sold very well in places where Shen's business houses existed.

Then came a large number of pirated copies on the market, and there were not a few of them that were more exquisite than Shen Dahai's and sold at a lower price.

Shen Hai accepted it as soon as it was good, reduced the production of high-quality jigsaw puzzles, and put the wooden products made of wood, mainly ordinary people, on the market at a low price, and stepped up to let the embroiderers sew dolls.

In this way, he can make a lot of money before the Chinese New Year, Shen Hai thought.

He didn't care how many people called him wicked behind his back.I have earned so much money, and I don’t even leave a little money to others.

Hu Zhixuan was taken back home on the second holiday, and the magistrate Hu called him into the study for questioning.

"What have you learned from your master this month?" Magistrate Hu asked, stroking his beard.

Hu Zhixuan replied respectfully, "Father, Shen Huiqing and I only have half-day classes every day. We study with the villagers in the morning and play with our teacher in the afternoon."

In fact, Liu Sheng was playing with them.Only Shen Huiqing thought he was filial to Liu Sheng and played with Liu Sheng.

Magistrate Hu already knew these things from Mr. Tian.In the beginning, Fang Ruixuan was dissatisfied with letting Hu Zhixuan attend class with a group of villagers.After Master Tian reported Fang Ruixuan's intentions, magistrate Hu acquiesced to the matter.

Although Fang Ruixuan indulged Xuan'er a bit, he was indeed thinking of Hu Zhixuan in everything he did.

A five-year-old child has weak bones, so he can't study at the desk all the time.Moreover, Hu Zhixuan was born with precocious wisdom and was a bastard. He lacked care and love, so his personality was inevitably depressed. It is better to relieve it earlier than to be depressed in the future.

Just now Hu Li told him that Hu Zhixuan had picked out the cabbage during his meal, and Fang Ruixuan had put him down for an hour from a balanced diet to who knows how hard every piece of Chinese food is on the plate, to people’s livelihood and national policy. After that, Fang’s family ate cabbage for seven days Every time he had to take a big bite first, as if he wanted to prove something to his master.

It is difficult for him to see such a lively son at home.

Hearing his son say that Fang Ruixuan asked his son to play with his husband, Magistrate Hu couldn't help being very interested, "What do you usually play."

"Seesaw, building blocks, jigsaw puzzles, swings, backgammon, and sometimes I have to water the ground with my teacher, pull weeds, dig wild vegetables and feed the chickens. Two days ago, I followed Huiqing Liu Renjie and the others to climb a tree. Shen Huiqing almost fell from the tree and was scared. I broke my teacher, and my master beat us up." In the end, Hu Zhixuan still felt pain in his buttocks, and his master was really ruthless.

"Now I'm still young, so I can be naughty, but I can't when I grow up. The jigsaw puzzles, those things that Shen Haihai has sold recently, are your master's ideas?"

"Exactly, Master originally made it for me and Hui Qing to play around with, saying that it could cultivate our hands-on ability and exercise our thinking. Hui Qing's father found out and asked Master for the blueprint."

County magistrate Hu nodded, but he couldn't take out the jigsaw puzzle made of fine white jade in the drawer.He turned around and asked Hu Zhixuan what he had learned in class.

"Thousand-Character Classics, Counting. Master said that after this rest, we need to learn to write contracts. The villagers and we must learn." Hu Zhixuan subconsciously didn't want to tell Magistrate Hu about the Three-Character Classic master telling him stories and hugging him to sleep together.

"Contract?" Magistrate Hu raised his eyebrows. This is really helping people to the end.County magistrate Hu also heard about the incidents of his subordinate yamen servants sometimes helping wealthy households to oppress farmers. Fortunately, they were not too much.After all, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. No matter how hard he is, the county master can't block the people's money.

Hu Zhixuan thought his father was asking him a question, and replied respectfully, "Yes, Master said, the ultimate purpose of teaching people to read and count is to teach these people to read and write contracts, so as to avoid disadvantages in the future."

"Your master is very good. You will study hard from him in the future, so go and see your aunt."

"Yes, my son is resigning." Hu Zhixuan bowed to County Magistrate Hu and left the study.

After Hu Zhixuan went to visit his aunt, he went to Aunt Hua's yard.He wandered outside Aunt Hua's yard for a while, hesitating whether to go in, until Yunshang, the second-class maid in Aunt Hua's yard, spotted him, and then stepped in.

"My son, you have been away for a month, and you still haven't sent a letter to Auntie, so cruel." As soon as Hu Zhixuan stepped into the yard, Aunt Hua hugged him and cried loudly.

"Don't cry, Auntie, you should be happy that you have finally brought Master Xuan back. Master Xuan finally came back once, and this old servant went to the kitchen to make some of Master Xuan's favorite food." Aunt Hua's nanny Zhu Momo dissuaded Hua aunt.

Aunt Hua nodded and told Mammy Zhu to do more.

After hearing Aunt Hua's cry and Nanny Zhu's words, Hu Zhixuan was also a little touched, his eyes were red, and he comforted Aunt Hua not to cry.

After crying enough, Aunt Hua asked about Hu Zhixuan's homework.Hu Zhixuan repeated it according to the answer to Hu County Magistrate.

"What! Your master only let you go to class for half a day, and let you go to class with those mud legs, and let you feed chickens and do farm work, my son, you have suffered." Aunt Hua hugged Hu Zhixuan and wanted to cry again, but was discouraged by Hu Zhixuan up.

"Auntie, don't be angry. The master said that I am still young, and only half a day of class is enough. The rest of the half day can be played and exercised. I can also learn about the life of farmers. After becoming an official, I can better plead for the people. .”

"Nonsense, your master is simply insulting you. Who said that only doing farm work can plead for the people? Those poor children have never seen a few of them go to the field. Your elder brother started enlightenment at the age of five and finished learning the thousand-character prose in a month. Now he is a scholar, and I haven't seen him with weak bones, is it Madam, your master was bribed by Madam, so he didn't teach you well."

One side is my master, and the other side is my aunt.Hu Zhixuan wondered, "Auntie, Master was not bribed by anyone, it was really for my own good." Although he didn't learn much in Qianziwen, he did learn a lot of principles and knowledge from other places.

"Son, you're still young, so you don't know the sinister heart. No, I'm going to find your father and ask your father to change you a wife." Aunt Hua said that she was going to drag Hu Zhixuan to the county magistrate Hu.

"Auntie!" Hu Zhixuan was angry and anxious, "Master is not the kind of person you think, besides, I have kowtowed to my teacher, and it is impossible to change it, otherwise it will be unfilial, and I will not be able to be an official in the future." Aunt Hua suppressed Aunt Hua's name, and Aunt Hua stopped, hugging Hu Zhixuan and crying for a while.

"My son, we have such a hard life. You have to live up to your expectations. Your elder brother is so powerful. If you can't keep up, we two will have no way to survive in this family." Aunt Hua burst into tears.

Hu Zhixuan felt tired for a while, this is his aunt.I don't care if he eats well, wears warm clothes, and doesn't get used to living in a month outside, even worse than a nanny.Always want him to compare with big brother, want him to surpass big brother.Even if he is stronger than the eldest brother, so what, the eldest brother is the son of the eldest son, ten years older than him, no one in this family can surpass him.

His excellence will only be a bargaining chip for my aunt to compete for favor in the future.When Hu Zhixuan was three years old, his aunt ordered someone to open the window of his room in order to let his father come to her yard, causing him to have a high fever for three days, which almost burned his brain out.His aunt thought he was too young to remember anything.In fact, he did remember.

His aunt is his own mother, but she can't even compare to half of what his master and mother treat him.Master's place is really like a home, and the simple tea and light food tastes extraordinarily sweet.

At dinner, Aunt Hua graciously served Hu Zhixuan with vegetables, urging him to eat more.But Hu Zhixuan couldn't taste the food.

After Hu Zhi announced his retreat, Nanny Zhu dissuaded Aunt Hua, "Auntie, Young Master Xuan is still young, so don't push too hard."

Aunt Hua sighed, "Mommy, I know that too, but the master hasn't come to my house for a long time, and I can only count on Xuan'er in the future. His elder brother was already a scholar last year, but he still doesn't want to make progress. About that little Juren, Mammy, find someone to check to see if Madam bribed her."

Mother Zhu was shocked when she heard that, "Auntie, no. Not to mention whether the master was bribed by his wife, Master Xuan is a teacher. If the teacher's reputation is ruined, it will greatly hinder the reputation of our Master Xuan." Then he said earnestly, "Isn't there still a master here? Master Xuan is also the teacher's child, and the master will not harm his own son."

Aunt Hua didn't think so, the teacher would not harm Xuan'er, but if she didn't care, Xuan'er was still at the mercy of others.This favor is all obtained by fighting, if you don't fight or grab it, who can remember you.

Looking at Aunt Hua's appearance, Mammy Zhu knew that she didn't listen to her words and stopped persuading her.

In the main room, a middle-aged beautiful woman picked out the freshly picked flowers by the maids with her hand painted with Danko, trimmed them with scissors, and inserted them into a clear white porcelain vase one by one.

"Ma'am, there's a commotion over there again." The beautiful woman is the confidant of the magistrate Hu's wife, Nanny Liu said.

"It's all right, the left and right masters are already tired of her, and she can't make any waves." Madam Hu said lightly, "Just pay attention to the affairs over there, and don't let anyone interfere."

"Yes, it's a pity that Young Master Xuan has such an ambiguous aunt." Looking at the expressionless face of the beautiful woman, Mammy Liu knew she had made a slip of the tongue, found an excuse, and retreated.

On the second day, Hu Zhixuan didn't go to Aunt Hua because he didn't have any homework assigned by his master.In fact, Fang Ruixuan didn't leave any homework at all.

During the first rest, Fang Ruixuan only asked the students to get up early and recite the text.Shen Huiming asked, "Master, don't we keep homework?" They agreed to call Master Fang Ruixuan after class, and they could only call Master in private.

"What is Xiumu?" Fang Ruixuan asked back.

"Wash your hair once every three days, and take a bath every five days." Shen Huiming said.

"Why do you need to take a rest, even the government will give you a day to rest every five days." Fang Ruixuan continued to ask.

"Let people rest?" Shen Huiming replied uncertainly.

"That's right, just like you will feel tired after doing one thing for a long time and you need to rest. The purpose of taking a rest is to let you get rid of the fatigue of studying during this period and come back to study better. Reading requires long-term persistence for years and months. You don't have to fight for it. One or two days. On the contrary, if you have a good rest and a good condition, you may get twice the result with half the effort when you come back to study." Fang Ruixuan continued to flicker, "When you are older, or next year, I will leave some for you to read when you take a rest Don’t be in a hurry now.” For example, doing farm work, helping mother wash her feet and so on.

Fang Ruixuan could foresee the stunned look of the students when they heard him assign tasks.

"The students have been taught." Shen Huiming bowed respectfully and sat back in his seat.

Hu Zhixuan always felt that his master was different from other people, with strange thoughts and behaviors.He even had a premonition that after his master's words spread, he would definitely be reprimanded by other masters and celebrities as deviant and misleading his disciples.But he felt that this was very good, and there was no other place suitable for him than Fangfu, where he could feel so at ease.

Fortunately, his master had a name on his head, and he didn't say much when there were many people, he just mentioned it to them in private, otherwise he didn't know how big a disaster would be.

Hu Zhixuan seriously copied the copybook written by his master, ignoring those disturbing things.Anyway, he can't change the status quo now, and he can't run away from home like an ugly duckling. He can only endure like an ugly duckling.

Hu Zhixuan was cooking his cabbage at home, and several guests came to Fang Ruixuan's house uninvited.

"Students, please sit down, Xing'er serves tea." Fang Ruixuan called the three students from Liujia Village to the study.

Among the three, the oldest is Liu Shuqing, Li Yulan's husband. He is thirty-five this year, and his son is married and still studying hard.The youngest, named Liu Ziche, is a Tongsheng who just graduated this year. A few days ago, she was engaged to Liu Wenwen, who wanted to be Fang Juren's concubine in Liulin.He was originally studying in the county town, and he learned that Master Juren had opened a school in the village, and he intended to study, but he didn't expect that the official school was full of six or seven-year-old milk dolls, and Liu Ziche couldn't bear to study with a group of dolls.At this time, he still didn't know that his fiancée was almost sent to be a concubine at Master Juren's house.The other one is old man Zhou's nephew, who is out of Wufu, and lives in the county seat. Hearing that these two are going to visit Master Juren, they come together.

The three of them were amazed when they saw Fang Ruixuan's study was full of books.

Fang Ruixuan's book collection is divided into three parts, one part is silently written in the mind of the original owner, the other part is the books after the Tang Dynasty in his world, and the third part is Fang Ruixuan asked Steward Kong to pay the patent fee of 2000 taels from Shen Dahai. He collected various annotated versions of the Four Books and Five Classics used in the imperial examination.

There is no way, to be a teacher, you must first be proficient in business.
