That night, many people couldn't sleep, of course, Shen Zishu was among them.

Sheng Yu and Erya copied their actions one by one, staring at Shen Zishu with "eyes like a tiger", "tell me? What's going on?"

Shen Erya also had to follow suit: "Tell me! Why are they all so good at reciting memos? What secret do you have? Why don't you give this secret to me."

Shen Zishu rubbed his forehead and shook his head helplessly, "Everyone sit down, can I tell you the truth?"

Both Sheng Yu and Shen Erya tilted their heads and said, "Hurry up!"

"I teach them to read and write in the Shushu every day. It's not that I have a secret. The main reason is that they are smart. I just discovered their characteristics."

"For example, Yang Juan is quiet and loves to read. I compiled the texts to be studied into short stories, and then used the monkey story A Yu told me to encourage them to endorse."

"As for Zhang Tao and Cao Hua, the two of them have studied in Shushu before, and they are also the oldest, so writing is easy for them. In terms of regular script, this is also the narrowness of the former masters, so I chose suitable copybooks for them and asked them to copy."

"Of course, as for Erya and Xiao Han, this is due to our Ayu."

"So that's the case? But brother Ayu, when did you tell your brother a story, why didn't you tell me!"

Shen Zishu handed Erya the money that should be given to Erya, "Take it and spend it, can't the money stop your mouth?"

Erya became obedient in an instant, pinched his brother's shoulders and thumped his legs, and then the dog ran away to play.

The Guo family——

"My lord, I found out. The person the old lady met that day was called Shen Zishu. He was really admitted to the Tongsheng at the age of eight, and now he is a scholar."

Master Guo was excited. If it was true, how could his son study with such a person, so how could his studies be poor? Master Guo asked Shen Zishu carefully.

It was only then that I found out that Shen Zishu was a disciple of Dean Wan. Although their family had some financial resources, the White Horse Academy had always watched the exams, so Guo Jia didn't make it at the beginning.

Now that the White Horse Academy is closed, Mr. Guo is a little embarrassed. His son is so muddy that he can't support the wall. How could Dean Wan accept him.

"Master, here... I don't know if I should say something or not."

This boy has also been with Master Guo for a long time.

Master Guo nodded and said: "Just say what you have, I can't make up my mind right now, you can tell me what you think."

"My lord, it's like this. Dean Wan has retired now. Although our young master is smart, he is studying... The little one doesn't say much, that's right! The little one wonders if it's okay for the young master to go to Shen Zishu Study in a private school."

"Isn't this White Horse Academy closed?"

"Master, the White Horse Academy is closed, but Shen Zishu has opened another school."

Master Guo didn't dare to answer the question: "Shen Zishu? He... isn't he only in his teens?"

The servant nodded and said: "Master, this Shen Zishu was admitted as a scholar at the age of 11, there must be something special about him, and I went to see it yesterday, and a student taught by a teacher in his 30s is not as good as him. "

Master Guo became interested, "Oh? How should I say it!"

The servant told the story of the contest between Shen Zishu and Master Zhao. Master Guo couldn't believe it and asked, "Is it true? A seven or eight-year-old boy can memorize so many books."

The little servant shook his head and said, "Master, I haven't read many books, I just know that the master asked casually, and Shen Zishu's students answered fluently, so it must be pretty good."

Master Guo nodded and said, "According to what you say, this Shen Zishu is really not bad, but he is teaching in the village, how could I let Jiaer go to the village?"

Mrs. Guo walked in quickly, her eyes still red: "Master, let Jia'er go, he is at home now, he is spoiled beyond belief, a loving mother is a failure, this time... I will definitely not indulge him, let him go." It's good for him to suffer."

"Heng Niang, what's wrong with you, why? Are they laughing at you again?"

"Master, it doesn't matter what grievances I suffer, I just hope Jiaer is well."

"The beloved son of the parents has a far-reaching plan. He is willing to let Jia'er be good for the rest of his life. I don't want him to be looked down upon as a merchant like us."

The low status of merchants is a common problem in every dynasty, and it is the same in their era. The only advantage is that the children of merchants can take scientific examinations.

Master Guo nodded and said: "Since that's the case, I'll go to see Shen Zishu with you tomorrow, and if I want to send Jiaer away, I have to talk about it."

Heng Niang nodded and said, "Husband, don't worry, I'll tell you where Mother is."

Feng'an Village——

"Master, this Zishu really gave us the money, this... sent the child there properly, why did he ask him to bring the money back?"

The village head smiled and said: "Don't worry about that. I asked Ju An, and he said that Zi Shu said it. They earned the money themselves. So just give it to them. If you feel sorry, you can send some vegetables as usual. Ah, the lo mei made at home is sent to their home, I know that child Zishu, since he gave it, it is true, there is no pretending."

"Furthermore, it's not that our grandson is promising!"

The village head's wife also laughed when she heard this, nodded and said: "You still have the foresight as the head of the family. Our Ju'an was really promising yesterday. When I went home yesterday, many people envied me."

"That's it. As long as you stay safe and study hard, there will be many good days in the future. Don't worry."

The village chief's wife said with admiration in her eyes: "In my whole life, the only right thing to do is to marry you. Look at my family harmony now, and my grandson is promising. My life is worth it."

"Sister-in-law of the Yang family, are you at home?"

The wife of the village chief and the village chief looked at each other, and then said with a smile: "Look, some people are jealous. I went to tell them that Shen Zishu was going to open a book school. They insisted on going to the next village and paying five taels of silver." Shu Xiu, he's fine now, and he's looking for me again, I don't want to talk to them."

"Let's go deal with it, there's no need to fight against them."

The village chief's wife said: "It's just you, you are a good old man."

The village chief's wife helped the broken hair on her forehead, went out, and shouted: "Guilan, hurry up and take some things to your mother's house to see, how you live in peace and prosperity is also due to your in-laws."

Li Guilan is Yang Ju'an's mother, she is kind, but a little cowardly, the wife of the village chief has big ideas, one is strong, the other is gentle, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can get along well.

Li Guilan looked at her mother-in-law with pleading eyes, she didn't know how to deal with people, and these people insisted on pestering her.

The wife of the village head directly took a tael of silver and handed it to Li Guilan, "Guilan, this is won by our family, and it is also Mrs. Shen. You can go back and give it to your parents. Your brother is still young, and it is also time to grow up."

Li Guilan's family was not as well off as the Yang family, and it was because Li Guilan was diligent that the Yang family fell in love with her and married her.The Li family are all honest people, and the Yang family occasionally helps the Li family.

"Mother, you don't need so much money, it's brought back by Ju'an, so it's natural to be filial to you and dad."

The village chief's wife smiled, patted her daughter-in-law on the shoulder with satisfaction, and said, "Ju An is so obedient, and you have a credit for being a mother." Then she said to everyone: "My daughter-in-law here, although she has no opinions, she listens In my words, this is not...Ju An is promising and blessed."

Li Guilan nodded again and again, feeling touched in her heart, but the others had different meanings when they heard it.After all, the village chief's wife had notified them back then, and they all remembered what happened back then, and they blushed.

"Okay, okay, let's go back as soon as it's getting dark. I still have something to talk to your aunt."

Li Guilan nodded, took the money and went to her mother's house.

The village head's wife looked at the people and said coldly: "Are you here for something?"

Several people looked at each other, and then introduced the one who usually had the best relationship with the village chief's wife, Mrs. Wang.

The eldest son of their family has a buddy in the market, and the family lives well, and he is usually a kind person, so he has a good relationship with the village chief's wife, and he is also kind with other people.

Mrs. Wang took a look at the village chief's wife, and said, "I'll just say it straight, Yulian, we also saw the competition between Zishu and Mrs. Zhao yesterday. Zishu is indeed better than Mrs. Zhao. We thought about this Zishu is also from our village, can you..."

"Damn! That's it! Didn't I inform you guys on purpose? I thought you looked down on Mrs. Shen. After all, he is young. You don't want to. What can you do about it?"

They all blushed, with different complexions.At first they disliked Shen Zishu's youth, and even secretly laughed at the village head's short-sightedness, thinking that Shu Xiu would be cheap, but they didn't expect...

"Oh, Yulian! This Wang Hu of our family was also raised by you, so you can help him find a way. I watched the competition yesterday, and then I realized that Mr. Zhao is old and has no ability at all. You Are you willing to let Hu'er delay?"

This Wang Hu and Yang Ju'an also grew up together, and the wife of the village chief also had concerns, and her face softened slightly.

"Forget it, it's all for the sake of the children, and I can't do anything else. I can only ask you guys, it may not work!"

Everyone else nodded and thanked the village chief's wife one by one.

Li Guilan came home with money, which surprised her parents.

"Daughter, this is really the result of studying in Ju'an."

Li Guilan nodded proudly. The most important thing she has done in her life is to marry the right person. The Yang family is all good-tempered, and the son is obedient. If there is anything wrong, there is also the help of her mother-in-law.

"Ah! Then... your in-laws, you are so confused. With the money you get in peace, you must first honor your in-laws. They treat you well, but you can't..."

"Oh, my mother-in-law gave it to me. Let me bring it back to you. Ju'an made a total of three taels of silver. Mother said that this Ju'an is promising, and you are also rich."

"Mother, is sister back?" Li Guang rushed in hurriedly.

"Sister, you're back! Where's Ju An? Where is he?"

Li Guilan smiled and touched her younger brother's head, wiped off the sweat on his forehead, and then said softly: "Ju An is studying, and I didn't come back today."

"Reading? Is Ju An going to learn from that Jujiu Jiujiu last time?"

Li Guilan smiled and said, "Probably so."

Li Guang lowered his head and said in a disappointed tone: "Many people in the village have gone to study, and I have no one to play with now, and now Ju'an has also gone."

The parents of the Li family are also ashamed. Li Guang is old and has a son, and he is only a few months older than Yang Juan. So Li Guang is so old now, and the Li family is not as healthy as the young people. Li also needs to help to live a decent life at home. It is impossible to send Li Guang to study, after all, Shuxiu is too expensive.

"Mother, how about... I'll go and ask Mrs. Shen, that is, Mrs. Ju'an. His training is not expensive. Maybe we can let Guang'er study."

"This..." The Li family's parents looked hesitant.

"Oh my mother, even if Guang'er can't read well, he will be able to read in the future, at least he won't be deceived, and he's outside every day, are you worried?"

"Will this bother you too much?"

"Father! Mother! Guang'er is my own younger brother. If you say such a strange thing, I will go back and discuss it with my mother-in-law. It's getting late, so I should go back."

The parents of the Li family brought a large jar of pickles to their daughter, and handed the chestnuts they had picked up in the mountains to their daughter, asking her to take them back for her grandson to eat.
