Cross Country Little Master

After returning from his parents' cemetery on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Sheng has been in a bad mood for a few days.

Fang Ruixuan thought that he was just hurting himself because of his life experience, so he didn't do much to comfort him, and turned down some banquets, and concentrated on staying at home with him.The village chief and the wealthy family of Liujia Village invited him to dinner together, and Fang Ruixuan just went for a cutscene.

"Why are you out of your mind these days?" Fang Ruixuan knocked on Liu Sheng's head and asked, "Have you prepared the red envelopes for the children?"

The fifth day of the Lunar New Year was the day when several apprentices of Fang Ruixuan came to pay New Year's greetings.The students from this village have already been here as early as the first day of the Lunar New Year.Although many places in modern times still have the habit of kowtowing to their elders during New Year's greetings, Fang Ruixuan felt inexplicably touched when he saw those children kowtowing to him.And the children who have been in school have basically come before and after.

Fang Ruixuan could only ask Butler Kong to give them more sugar and melon seeds, and send them away happily.

"I'm fine, maybe I didn't have a good rest last night." Liu Sheng touched his bosom, "I forgot the red envelope in the bedroom, I'll get it right away." Then he walked towards the bedroom.

"You let Tao'er..." Fang Ruixuan had never seen Liu Sheng so reckless, before he finished speaking, he disappeared.

The three apprentices came together, and Hu Zhixuan had a special carriage to pick him up this time, unlike the previous few times when he went to and from school, he was hitched by the two brothers of the Shen family.Shen Dahai still had a lot of things to do, so he couldn't come with his sons.

Shen Huiqing is holding a toy dog ​​about his size, which is based on the character Snoopy in the cartoon.Fang Ruixuan painted it for Shen Dahai in his spare time.

Thanks to Fang Ruixuan's paintings, although the dolls have followed suit, Shen Dahai's dolls are made according to Fang Ruixuan's paintings. It is very smooth to the touch, and a few new tricks are introduced from time to time, which are very popular with children. Before the Chinese New Year, Shen Hai made a small fortune.

"Master, my father said that this dog was made according to the way you drew it. It looks so beautiful. Can you draw some more pictures for Qing'er." Shen Huiqing looked at Fang Ruixuan adoringly.

He had seen the original of the painting, and it was so cute, the doll must be even more beautiful.

Fang Ruixuan rubbed his little head, it's too late for the New Year, it's not good to make the apprentice sad, and asked softly, "What does Qing'er want?"

"Rabbits, bears, tigers, foxes, and eagles," Shen Huiqing repeated over and over while wringing his fingers. When he found that he hadn't said enough, he turned to Shen Huiming and asked, "Brother, what else did dad say?"

Hu Zhixuan and Shen Huiming couldn't help but touch their foreheads, these foolish children.

After Shen Dahai found out that the dolls made by Fang Ruixuan's paintings were very easy to sell, he asked the painters to follow the drawings, although those painters' paintings were also somewhat interesting, and compared with Fang Ruixuan's, they were a little less lively.

When the market was far from saturated, he naturally wanted to get some more patterns from Fang Ruixuan, but he didn't want them in vain, and planned to buy one pattern from Fang Ruixuan for ten taels of silver.

For Chinese New Year, Shen Dahai didn't mean to discuss business with Fang Juren, and asked him to give him a picture.Instead, he thought of asking the person in charge to talk to Fang Ruixuan after the [-]th day of the first lunar month.

When Shen Huiqing went to the study to look for Shen Dahai, the steward happened to be reporting the incident, and after hearing it, he remembered it in his heart.I also want to get the shape from Fang Ruixuan, and I want to negotiate with his father when I go back, and I want to give him the first doll I made.Who asked Shen Haihai to sell a doll for a month, but he didn't even remember to bring one for him and his brother.This is obviously what Master wanted to make for them to play with, so he gave the blueprint to Dad and asked him to make something that could be sold.

"Master, don't listen to my son's nonsense. Daddy didn't teach him to speak like this. It's him who thinks about it and goes back to make a doll." Shen Huiming quickly explained for his younger brother.

After several months of contact, Fang Ruixuan naturally understood Shen Huiqing's character. "It's okay, I happen to have a few pieces of writing practice here, and I'll give them to you later."

The ones that Fang Ruixuan practiced were planned to be done by himself after learning shadow puppetry.The shadow puppets sung by old man Zhu are all historical classics and facts, and the characters are naturally those famous historical figures.Fang Ruixuan felt that it was a little monotonous, so he drew some Q-version shapes of Yagyu's apprentices, pictures of beauties, anime characters, etc.

This time it happened to be cheaper for the Shen brothers.

The three brothers followed Fang Ruixuan to the study, "No, these blueprints are for you. This storybook is for Xuan'er." The storybook is a small booklet with only a dozen or so thin pages. It is Fang Ruixuan's records from memories to fables. story.He wants to compile these things into a book, which can also be used as extracurricular reading materials for children who come to school in the future.

I gave the Shen family brothers extra things, so I can't be partial to the little apprentice.Fang Ruixuan gave the booklet to Hu Zhixuan in advance.

Shen Huiming looked at Hu Zhixuan with envy in his eyes.Compared with these pictures, he actually hopes to get the story book.

Shen Huiming is already eight years old. Although he can't control his expression very well, he is already very good at restraining himself. He feels that he has grown a year older, and he has become more stable than before. Of course, he can't be like Shen Huiqing, shouting that I will also .

"If you two want to read it, you can borrow a copy from Xuan'er. Well, the premise is that Xuan'er is willing to lend it to you."

After Fang Ruixuan finished speaking, Hu Zhixuan hugged the booklet tightly and looked at the Shen brothers warily.

Shen Huiqing showed a big smile, and lightly bumped Hu Zhixuan with his small body, "Brother Xuan and we have such a good relationship, you will lend it to me."

Hu Zhixuan ignored Shen Huiqing with a stern face. He hadn't seen it yet, so how could he borrow it.And even after reading it, he hasn't asked the teacher about the meaning of the story, he told the teacher about it, and asked the teacher to correct him again.

Because of Fang Ruixuan's way of teaching, every time his disciples read a story or allusion, they would always think about what was said in it, what I learned, what would I do if I, etc., thinking almost crazy.

And it's not without its benefits.

In addition to the painful process, you can exercise your thinking ability, cultivate your insight, learn how to communicate with people, various principles of doing things, and occasionally develop your imagination from an early age.

On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, Fang Ruixuan came to visit County Magistrate Hu.The next day was the hot pot banquet, Shen Dahai deliberately picked up Fang Ruixuan one day in advance.

When Fang Juren went to visit the county magistrate, Shen Dahai's wife greeted Liu Sheng.

Mrs. Shen is a merchant woman. She is beautiful, shrewd and capable, and has a very gentle personality.

In addition to the main house, Shen Dahai also has several concubines, including Huanfei Yanfei, Xiaojiabiyu, and all kinds of enchanting and colorful concubines.Except Mrs. Shen, no one has any heirs, which shows Mrs. Shen's methods and Shen Dahai's love for her.

Although Shen Dahai is feminine, she is a bit ridiculous.But fortunately, there is a sense of propriety, and the family style is basically a rare honesty in a merchant's family.

Mrs. Shen looked at Liu Sheng's attire and demeanor, and couldn't help but have a high opinion of him.If you don't know the details of this kind of behavior, you will definitely not be able to tell that you are a country boy.

"Ming'er, Qing'er has caused trouble for you and Fang Juren." Mrs. Shen expressed her gratitude to Liu Sheng for helping her take care of the child.

"Ma'am, you don't have to be so polite. Qing'er also called me Mrs. Mistress. These are what I should do." Liu Sheng's tone was very sincere.

After the two of them finished talking about the children, they talked about clothes and jewelry.Liu Sheng was not proficient in these things, so he didn't know what to say, so Mrs. Shen intentionally guided him.From clothes and jewelry to concubine art to the management of servants, Xixi shared some of her experience with Liu Sheng.

Although Liu Sheng gradually cultivated his temperament, his knowledge was limited after all.Fang Ruixuan and Kong Butler could teach him very little about inner house affairs.Now someone is willing to teach him, and he is studying very seriously.

Fang Ruixuan mainly discussed Hu Zhixuan's education with Magistrate Hu.Hu County Magistrate handed over Hu Zhixuan's education to Fang Ruixuan and did not interfere.

After learning of Hu County Magistrate's attitude, Fang Ruixuan put his heart in his stomach.

What he was most afraid of was that during this visit, County Magistrate Hu would let him instill in Hu Zhixuan the notion that concubines and concubines are different, so that Hu Zhixuan would respect his descendants, and in the future he would serve his sons and live on his breath.

Fortunately, the beauty did not disappoint him.

Otherwise, Fang Ruixuan would have to choose between angering the county magistrate and destroying the young apprentice, or hiding his strength and biding his time in secret.

The existence of the difference between the concubine and the concubine greatly guaranteed the interests of the main house in this ancient time.Most of the marriage contracts between famous families in ancient times were of the nature of marriage.The wife married into her husband's family with a large dowry and the network behind her.Naturally, there is no reason to make the benefits cheaper for those maidservants and concubines.

And although this rule greatly restricted some talented and capable bastards from coming forward, it prevented internal fighting among the children of the family to a certain extent.But this superficial peace is obtained at the expense of a small number of people.

Fang Ruixuan understands the benefits and bitterness of it, but it does not mean that he is willing to make his apprentice inferior.He can teach his apprentice not to rely on the family to get everything he wants through his own efforts, but he can't teach him who to respect and sacrifice himself for whose benefit.

"Fang Juren, please stay. Our aunt is here to invite you." When Fang Ruixuan was leaving under the guidance of the servant, he was stopped by a nanny.

"Mother, please be careful, I am a foreigner, it is against the rules to rashly enter and leave the inner house of the magistrate." Fang Ruixuan said with a somber face.

"Our aunt is the biological child of Young Master Xuan. I asked Fang Juren to discuss about Young Master Xuan's studies. I also asked Fang Juren to take pity on our aunt's motherly heart and condescend to meet each other." Mammy Zhu endured her shame. She said, her natural way is against the rules, but if she doesn't do this, I don't know what kind of moth Aunt Hua will come up with.

"This aunt has overstepped. The magistrate and wife of the county magistrate Zhang Luo will take care of the young master's studies, and she will be asked by an aunt in that turn." Fang Ruixuan turned dark and walked away with his sleeves.

"Master." When Fang Ruixuan passed a corner, Hu Zhixuan called to him with a weak voice, his face was pale.
