Xue Jiazi

Chapter 22

As the head of the clan, Xue Xun wanted to set up a family study for the sake of the family plan. No matter how reasonable this matter is, it can even be said that it has won the hearts of the people. It was just the most cost-effective transaction made in the early years, that is, to provide a lot of food and cloth for the Taizu of this dynasty to raise troops. This is how the ranking of the four major families was achieved, and it was possible to grow from a small merchant to a This leading businessman in the south of the Yangtze River has so many family properties and glory. It is absolutely impossible to say that they have not thought about going further, but they have always been businessmen. The ability is more important, that is, the patriarch is more responsible for earning money for the family, and secondly, because of the investment benefits in the past, the Xue family rushed up all of a sudden, which seems to be a nouveau riche. After some thinking, three, merchants, since ancient times, men go out to do business, and women manage the family business. How else can I say: merchants value profit and leave farewell, and housewives are really short-sighted in raising their children. Seeing that my own family has more land per acre, so it has been several generations. Up to now, most of the families are seeking to make progress and invite their own wives.

Now the current patriarch wants to add an ethnology to the clan for the sake of his descendants. When the news came out, not to mention that the poor clansmen were overjoyed, they just felt that their children had an extra way out to make a living. I can't help but clap my hands and applaud, thinking about putting in an extra effort.In this era, the family relationship is the strongest, and it is often that one person ascends to heaven. If there are more promising people in the clan, not to mention those who are officials butchers, it is just a few small officials who can raise people, and the whole family can do as much. Forgive the lowliness of some merchants. If they have been so prosperous for several generations, it is impossible to say that the Xue family will become an official family, or a scholarly family.The status of that family can be regarded as a complete turnaround, and there is no need to worry about losing the title of the imperial merchant that day and being insulted by others.

The wealthy Xue family, it’s really not a big deal to set up an ethnology study. I bought a bright and spacious house in a secluded area, repaired it neatly, and bought some books and pens. Two will be all right.Not to mention that it is rare for all the families in the clan to be of the same mind. The wealthy family donated a hundred taels to another family and a thousand taels to another family. They collected all the supporting money, and even the money for house repairs was complete.

Another Xue Xun wrote to Lin Ruhai, asking him to recommend any suitable teacher, not asking for Xue Pan's need to be lively, knowing how to teach students according to their aptitude, just asking for rigor and good knowledge. Lin Ruhai recommended suitable people. The two grades are not too young, and the old Juren who has never been an official and has been working for others all the year round, now everything is ready, waiting for the children in the clan who want to learn. Teacher, this family study will be officially started immediately.

The Xue family is now considered to be a big family with a large population. Not to mention the disciples of the same family, even relatives and the like are also flourishing. He also begged to come to the school, Xue Xun thought that they were all relatives anyway, and it was not easy to shirk if he could take care of them, and he was afraid that those students would just come to the family school to eat and eat, and if they didn't learn well, they would bring down their own children, so they simply turned ugly Speaking of which, a rule has been set up, it is fine to come to the attached school, but if you do not study well, or you are always absent from class, you will develop it immediately, no matter how sympathetic it is, it is heaven for these poor families to have a place to go to school for free Great favor, there will be such ignorance of good and evil, everyone immediately agreed.

In this way, in addition to the twenty or so students of my own family, there are more than ten students from the attached school, a total of more than thirty people, which makes the masters a little dumbfounded. Shu Xiu even prepared another gift, which made the master nod and acquiesced, and after a detailed examination, he was divided into two classes according to the depth of knowledge, and each taught without mentioning.

The ethnology provides pen, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as a lunch. Xue Xun also said that if he studies well, the cost of scientific examinations will also be borne by the clan in the future. This kind of welfare has won the praise of the entire Xue family. The expenses of more than 1000 taels were debited from the family property account, and they all nodded.

Seriously speaking, most of the so-called family properties at this time were sacrificial fields and the like. Apart from repairing ancestral halls and tombs, the rest of the money paid out each year was either to subsidize the orphans or widows of the clan, or to spend on food and drink during the New Year. I bought a place for flowers, but several elders in charge of the clan and the grandparents of each house saw that this money was very necessary, but they could give the children of the clan a place to go for just a few days of entertainment expenses. It's not that those with shallow eyelids can't even see the long-term benefits. Besides, most of the people who can take turns to discuss matters are wealthy families, and they don't like the more than 1000 taels of silver, just take it out If they are divided, each family will not be able to share a few taels, so it is better to have a good time and use it to gain a good reputation.

In this way, before this year, the Xue Family School was established smoothly, although the so-called schooling before this year was actually just for the masters to confirm the number of students and get to know the heads. The tight class will not be until the next year, but at the time of worshiping the ancestors at the end of the year, this ethnology is regarded as a major event in the clan of the year, a yellow form is written, and it is burned to the ancestors in the ancestral hall.

Although the ethnology study was in a hurry, it was well organized and went very smoothly, but Xue Pan's wife was never found. Every time Xue Cheng told the history books to these three children, his head hurt a lot. Come back, come down a few times, I wish I could read the account every day, and I don't want to face these ancestors.

Xue Pan saw that the time for him to toss about was almost up, so he decided not to bother his second uncle anymore, so he told Xue Xun that Chinese New Year was coming soon, and he wanted to go to the clan school to play with his cousins ​​and clan brothers For a few days, it’s good to see how knowledgeable the masters are there, and listen to how they teach in class. As for telling stories, it’s not too late after the New Year.

Seeing his son's serious face, Xue Xun couldn't help thinking, could it be that his son felt lonely at home when he made this request?That's right, the two remaining children in the family are really young, and it seems that they really can't talk about going together with their son. It's natural for boys to like to be lively. Besides, let my son go to clan school for a few days to make out with the brothers in the clan It's not a bad thing, it's not a bad thing to be locked up at home with only one seedling in my family.

Thinking of this, Xue Xun didn't stop him anymore, but took good care of his son. He couldn't go out and mess around like before. They are all brothers in the clan, so be friendly, etc. After talking a lot, he sent his son out.

Waiting for Xue Pan to go to the ethnology school, Xue Xun was always worried that his son would be naughty, and would tease his wife, fearing that he would be sent back and lose face, so he didn't want to go there for three or four days, but nothing happened. , Could it be that the sun came out from the west?When I found Xue Pan at home, I went to ask directly, but I didn't want Xue Pan to say:

"What the master said was a bit boring and not interesting, but there were so many people there, my son was only happy when he went, and there were many younger brothers who liked to listen to my storytelling. My son has never been so lively before."

Hearing his son's words, Xue Xun was both happy and sad at the same time. The happy thing is that his son has indeed grown up and is no longer a mischievous temper. Even if he doesn't like the teacher's lectures, he knows to restrain himself. This is almost old Tears flowed freely, sadly, he guessed after all, his son is lonely, and his family's heirs are indeed too thin. Thinking about the old days when he asked his son to be a teacher, and only his son was studying alone, he was afraid that his son would be very uncomfortable. Ben is a lively person, no one is with him, where can he calm down and read.

Thinking about it this way, he couldn't help thinking of sending Xue Pan to the ethnology school, but he hadn't made up his mind yet, and Baochai and Xue Biao at home were having trouble again, and the three children always got together in the past. At the place, Xue Pan took them to play, listen to stories, and eat. He was used to getting along with them, and he was as good as one person. Suddenly, the elder brother disappeared and was not at home all day. After growing up, I immediately felt that it was the elder brother who didn't want them, so I quit immediately, so I coaxed them back. In the end, Xue Xun had to insist on the original sentence, and decided to invite a good gentleman to come back and teach these three at home. child.

Xue Pan never thought that his plan to go to school would be ruined by these two nurses, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed. It turns out that good character also has troubles!
