Cross Country Little Master

When Shen Huiming mentioned his name, he consciously stood in front of Fang Ruixuan.

Fang Ruixuan patted him on the shoulder, and said to Wang Juren, "Hui Mingming is young, although he has been in school for two years, but I think it will not affect him well, whether he wins or not, so he should be pressured." good."

When everyone heard Fang Ruixuan's words, they also felt very reasonable.

If you pass the exam, now you are young, your temperament is unstable, it is easy to lose your temper in the face of praise and compliments, and you are proud of your talents. Even adults like them sometimes can't help being complacent about those flattery, let alone such a young child.

If you fail the exam, it will hurt the self-confidence and enthusiasm of other children's studies.This is not educating people, but destroying people.

Therefore, even though some early enlightened children have the ability to be admitted to Tongsheng, the masters have to wait until they are ten or 12 years old.

Immediately, everyone looked at Wang Juren with meaningful eyes.

It's really good that this colleague is an enemy, but you can't get angry with the future of the students.How can such a person be a good teacher.

"That's right, Fang Juren, this child is a good seed if he looks so smart, it's better to suppress him." Someone started, and it was logical for everyone to persuade Fang Ruixuan to suppress Shen Huiming.

"That's right, Fang Juren, it's better to cultivate such a good seedling, Brother Dahai will appreciate you too, and you can't ruin the future of the students just because of a dispute between emotions." A scholar who also couldn't see Wang Juren echoed, saying After that, he took a special look at Wang Juren.

Just now those people agreed that Wang Juren was targeting him, Fang Ruixuan thought that Wang Juren was very popular, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that.

"This brother is right. This child prodigy is born and raised by Zhong Lingyuxiu. We ordinary people can't compare with it. As long as we are determined to learn, one day we will learn something."

Then Fang Ruixuan turned to Shen Huiming and said, "Tomorrow, you must be strict with yourself and study hard."

Shen Huiming nodded heavily, "Yes, Master, I will definitely not let you down."

Wang Juren sensed the awkward atmosphere around him and wanted to say something to make up for it, "Lingtu is so smart, studious and neither arrogant nor impetuous, Fang Juren is very lucky, I really envy you."

But no one echoed his words, so Shen Dahai changed the topic.

Of course my son is fine!

But what Wang Juren didn't know was that it was his words that made several merchants make up their minds to change places for their children to study.

With such a teacher who likes to compare and direct without taking the students' future seriously, how can they trust their children to Wang Juren to teach them.

Seeing that the timing was almost up, Shen Dahai said, "Ms. Shen sent someone to invite the dancers from the teaching workshop to play songs and dances to cheer up the fun. Now they have prepared their books and are about to appear on the stage. Why don't you put aside the academic debate for a while and have a good time. fan."

After Shen Dahai finished speaking, everyone's eyes were attracted by the graceful figure and graceful dancing posture of the dancing girls lined up from the inner room of the restaurant, and there were glances of praise, novelty or lewdness in their eyes.

And this was the reason why Shen Dahai was unwilling to bring the two Shen family brothers here before.

The reason why Fang Ruixuan brought his disciples here was not because he wanted to fight against Shen Dahai, nor did he want to teach his disciples badly, but simply wanted them to see what a literati is and what a fighting poem is.

There are also good and bad scholars.Scholars who have read sage books are sometimes uglier than those who are illiterate.Rough people show their scheming carelessly in the sun, but scholars can disguise themselves with beautiful articles.

It was discussed with Shen Dahai before singing and dancing, and it should be put at the end.At this time, Fang Ruixuan quietly left with his family full of wine and food.

Tang Yan noticed their movements, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was really interesting.

Although Fang Ruixuan fed his disciples many vegetables he didn't like, he didn't stop them from eating meat.Both Hu Zhixuan and Shen Huiming had full stomachs, not to mention Shen Huiqing.

On such an occasion, the struggles and comparisons among the literati made them even more happy.Shen Huiming just accidentally looked too involved and ate too much.Hu Zhixuan was taken back to the mansion by Mr. Tian, ​​who had been following him all the time.

It stands to reason that there were only a few high-status people in the banquet, and Master Tian was one of them.However, as long as Tang Yan is around, they will never be able to shine.Tang Yan seems to be born with the ability to focus, people always tend to take him as the center of the banquet, even a group of dancers are constantly flirting with Tang Yan.

Since the food and drinks in Shen's Restaurant were provided for free today, these guests were so drunk in the end that they couldn't tell the difference between the south, the south, and the north.Fortunately, Shen Haihai sent those girls back when the banquet was about to end, otherwise his restaurant would not be regarded as a brothel in the future.

The gunman Shen Dahai invited dutifully described the grand occasion of the banquet, and spread the poems written by those students for the hot pot and the hot pot banquet through some channels.The Shen family's hot pot became famous, and the literati whose masterpieces were handed down became people's focus.

For this result, both Shen Dahai and some literati who participated in the hot pot banquet were quite satisfied.Most of the dissatisfied people are those who have no ability.

The new dishes launched by Shen's restaurant have already started to spread in the market a few days ago.After knowing that so many scholars are full of praise for hot pot, some people who can afford the cheapest hot pot are eager to go to Shen's house to eat hot pot.

In this chilly spring, it is time to eat some hot food to warm up the body.Moreover, this is what scholars and high-ranking officials eat. They take their children to eat a few meals, and maybe their children will be enlightened earlier by reading.

"Master, I don't like many people today." Shen Huiming said to Fang Ruixuan on the carriage back.

"Well, then don't become that kind of person." Fang Ruixuan replied.It is a good thing that the big disciple has his own judgment of likes and dislikes.

"If you are made things difficult for you in the future, have you thought about how to deal with it?" Fang Ruixuan asked suddenly.

"Reason with them, as long as the reason is with me, then I will not be afraid of anything." Shen Huiming said, he remembered his master muttering something once, walking around the world with reason, but it is difficult to walk without reason.

Fang Ruixuan tapped his head, said something stupid, and then whispered in his ear for a long time.

After listening to his master, Shen Huiming felt that he was not well.

However, although the Three Views were somewhat broken, he still obeyed Fang Ruixuan's order, ignored Shen Huiqing's probing vision, and did not leak out the discussion just now.

Liu Sheng was thoughtful, Fangfo understood something.After all, not everyone is reasonable.

Fang Ruixuan took Liu Sheng to live in Shen's house for two days before returning home. During this period, Liu Sheng had been learning from Mrs. Shen how to be a housekeeper, how to manage servants, how to manage the property and read the books, etc.

Although the Fang family's current assets are not much, Liu Sheng believes that with Fang Ruixuan's ability, sooner or later their family's property will increase.

But now that he has learned earlier, he can help Fang Ruixuan relieve his worries in the future and let Fang Ruixuan concentrate on teaching and learning.

Old man Zhu and Shisan lived in Fang's house for more than half a month. During the Chinese New Year, they went to several nearby villages to run a few shadow puppet shows to earn some pocket money.But Fang Ruixuan never asked them to do anything, which made that old man Zhu very uneasy.

On this day, he found Fang Ruixuan, "Master Juren, Shisan and I have been disturbing your mansion for more than half a month, and I feel uneasy living for free. If you are not busy learning how to make shadow puppetry, you can give Shisan and me Arrange some work."

Old man Zhu wanted to give money at first, but thinking of his status, he must not look down on his few copper coins, so he might as well do some work to repay the expenses during this period.

When Shisan was helping with things, although Fang's servants did not refuse, they always treated them as guests and didn't push them very much.

And it was this that made old man Zhu even more uneasy, they deserved to be treated so politely by Juren.

When Fang Ruixuan invited the master and apprentice home, he had already planned to exchange the old man's shadow puppetry with the idea of ​​being a marionette.Although the old man Zhu promised to teach his shadow puppet making method, he couldn't let others suffer too much.

The ancients attached great importance to the secret recipes of crafts, and they would not easily teach them to others. Even learning carpentry and blacksmithing, one had to be an apprentice with the master for several years and be called around for several years before learning the real thing.And this old man Zhu had already surprised Fang Ruixuan when he agreed to teach him how to make shadow puppetry, but now he offered to do the work, Fang Ruixuan respected him from the bottom of his heart.

People can lack everything, but they cannot lack backbone.

When Fang Ruixuan said that he would exchange the method of making a puppet with a string for making a shadow puppet, old man Zhu quickly waved his hand.

"Master Juren, please listen to the old man. This shadow puppet art is passed down by the master, and he has instructed his apprentices not to pass it on to outsiders. Now that I have violated my oath, I want to ask Master Juren to do something."

"What is it?" Fang Ruixuan was a little curious, what kind of thing would it take for such an upright old man to break his promise and promise to teach himself, an outsider, the skills of making a living.

At that time, old man Zhu didn't know that he was a Juren, he only thought that he was a scholar from a well-to-do family, and there was absolutely no such thing as bullying others.According to this guess, an ordinary person should be able to do such a thing, and it is really difficult for them.

When old man Zhu heard Fang Ruixuan's tone, he felt that there was hope in the matter, and he began to talk about the things he asked Fang Ruixuan to do with excitement.

But it turned out that all the entertainers in the rivers and lakes like them who traveled from village to village and lived in no fixed place had no household registration.Most of them were discarded by their parents, picked up by these entertainers, and then learned the crafts of these entertainers to make a living, and then continued to pick up apprentices and pass on their skills.Wherever they go, where they sell, wherever they go, that is their home.

And when the government wants to check their household registration, or the areas where corvee and military service are serious, they have to hide in the mountains or pay money to beg someone with household registration to protect them, so as not to be arrested as black households, or tied up as fakes. My family went to serve corvee on behalf of others.

But the deep mountains are not safe, and there are often beasts.Sometimes it is even possible to encounter bandits.The two of them, the master and the apprentice, were dressed in tatters and had no property on them, so they were not afraid that someone would come and rob them.

And two years ago, during the civil unrest, he and Thirteen hid in the mountains.In the first two months, although the master and apprentice worked hard, they survived safely.

One day, Shisan was almost killed by a wild boar when he went out to touch wild eggs, which made him terrified. If it wasn't for a hunter passing by, Shisan's life would have been lost.Thinking of Shisan's bloody appearance at that time, old man Zhu is still afraid for a while.

Old man Zhu sang shadow puppets with his master in the early years. After the master died, he wandered alone for a long time.Until he picked up Thirteen, this child was brought up by him himself, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was his lifeblood.If Shisan died, he didn't know what was the point of living.

Old man Zhu thought for a long time that he couldn't bear to live a life like him for the rest of his life. He planned to find him a village with simple folk customs and apply for a household registration to settle him down.

In the past two years, he has taken the thirteen-singing shadow puppet and stored up the money he got, and now he has five taels of silver.Buy an acre of land and build a house for Shisan himself, enough for him to live alone.

Before meeting Fang Ruixuan, the money was definitely not enough. It was more than five taels of silver just to find a middleman and invite the county government officials to eat and give gifts.

He thought it would take a few more years to save enough money, but now he has Fang Ruixuan as a shortcut.Not to mention teaching how to make shadow puppets, even if he is asked to be a cow or a horse, he is willing.

"Master Juren, the little old man is half buried in the soil. The only thing he cares about is my thirteenth. I really don't want him to be like me and my master living in nowhere and worrying for a lifetime." People like them not only You have to worry about household registration, worry about whether you can earn enough money to feed your stomach, and worry about dying one day without even a person who throws a basin to fill his grave.

Old man Zhu hadn't paid homage to his master's grave for many years.

When Fang Ruixuan heard what old man Zhu said, he felt a sense of regret.

"Is it only for Shisan to apply for household registration? What about you, old man?" In fact, it is not difficult for Fang Ruixuan to apply for two household registrations. The village head and Master Tian are willing to raise their hands to him.

"This old man is an old bone, so it's not good to bother Mr. Juren any more. If he can take care of him for more than thirteen years, I can save him some money. My wish is fulfilled." Old man Zhu said very seriously.

He was already dying. After living his whole life like this, he suffered a lot and traveled to so many places. He had already looked down on things like household registration.If you can arrange Thirteen before his death and give him a stable life, you will have no regrets.He just wanted to be buried next to his master when he died.
