After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

Chapter 214: Invite a Famous Teacher

It turns out that since Xu Mengxiao decided to send Xu Zihan and the Wang family to Fucheng, she asked people to find out if there were any literati in Fucheng who were good at teaching.

To name a few, they all mentioned an old man, Sun Hongfeng, who was about to retire and take care of himself at home.

This person has never participated in the imperial examination, but he is knowledgeable and has been teaching for decades. He has brought out the number one, number two, third and third prizes.

Although he would only take them to the provincial examination, there are countless students who are grateful for his guidance and teachings. Even those officials who are now highly respected often come to visit him.

You must know that during the imperial examination, candidates will meet several teachers. I am afraid that only Mr. Sun can be remembered and remembered by so many people.

In addition, he could bring out so many outstanding students without taking the imperial examination, which made this person legendary. After Xu Mengxiao inquired about it, he wanted Zihan to give it a try.

Unexpectedly, Zihan went to see this person but was rejected. This made Xu Mengxiao a little surprised. She was not bragging. Her brother's character, ability and talent were definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

The other party's rejection was not because he looked down upon Zihan, he just said: "I'm old, I can't teach him anymore, and I don't want to teach him anymore. In this life, I have to live more for myself."

However, Xu Zihan couldn't let go for a long time, thinking that this was an excuse for the other party to look down on him. After he came back, he studied even more vigorously.

No, for several days, no matter who tried to persuade him, he could not let go of his tense heartstrings and combine work and rest.

"I'm going to see Zihan." Xu Mengxiao walked to the study not far away.

It was almost the end of the twelfth twelfth lunar month, and the weather was extremely cold. Xu Mengxiao didn’t even want to take her hands away from the warm hand stove, but her brother was standing in front of the table, holding a pen by his wrist and practicing calligraphy. He had not yet grown a pair of The big hands were red and swollen from the cold.

"Why did you get frostbite again?" Xu Mengxiao couldn't help scolding in distress, "Did you not make good use of the medicine I gave you?"

"Second sister..." Xu Zihan felt a little guilty and did not dare to say that he deliberately did not use those medicines, so as to warn himself not to be greedy for enjoyment. Only by hard work can he achieve the results he wants!

However, Xu Mengxiao, who knew his brother Mo Ruojie, could not tell what he was thinking, and said seriously: "Three feet of ice does not last in a day, and the imperial examination cannot be accomplished overnight. It is a long road, and it is the road to heaven. There will never be less failures, setbacks, and sufferings. Where are you now? You are so exhausted that you may not even be able to stay in the examination room, let alone study."

Xu Zihan was shocked, thinking of the examination room anecdotes his brother-in-law told him, among which the extremely important provincial examination was to be taken for nine consecutive days.

There is one test every three days, and each time for nearly three days and three nights, they have to stay in a cramped dormitory with a stinky smell everywhere and they have to cook their own meals. Many weak candidates cannot afford to be seriously ill and are brutally tortured. Carry it out.

If you are in poor health, you may faint, vomit, or fail the exam because of illness.

Seeing that he had listened, Xu Mengxiao slowed down her voice and said, "Don't get caught up in being moved while studying. You feel that you have put in a lot, as if you have worked very hard. If you fail, will it be more difficult for you to accept it?"

Xu Zihan thought about it seriously. He didn't dare to think deeply about this problem before - because he didn't dare to let himself fail, let alone imagine himself failing.

"I'm sorry, second sister, I seem to understand a little bit. I was confused."

"Don't be afraid of failure, keep a balanced mentality. If your mentality is so unstable, you will easily perform abnormally in the examination room and fail to achieve the results you deserve, which will be a waste of your hard work." Xu Mengxiao sighed.

"Besides, Mr. Sun's matter has nothing to do with you. I heard that he doesn't accept other students. Apart from him, it's not like we can't find any other good teachers. Maybe it's because you are older that he doesn't accept you." , weak-minded."

"Yeah!" Xu Zihan nodded heavily, thought about it a little, and was able to listen to these words, and then said, "Second sister, let's go see other wives, no need to trouble brother-in-law."

These days, his brother-in-law still often comes to teach him. He can feel that the other person's body is getting weaker and weaker. Although they all say that it is just for treatment and there is no big problem, Xu Zihan is still frightened. How can he have the nerve to let his brother-in-law work for him again? Running around.

"Okay." Xu Mengxiao also felt that Lu He should take a good rest, but she still wanted to fight for Mr. Sun.After all, she had seen beautiful jade, so she was a little disdainful of other inferior products. For Zihan, she wanted to give him the best with all her strength!

Xu Mengxiao paid a visit to Mr. Sun and asked him to accept Zihan as his student. Xu Mengxiao put it as a top priority, and the affairs of Yangnan Village had to be dealt with urgently.

It was inconvenient to do things during the Chinese New Year, so she could only take advantage of the end of the year to do what she needed to do. Only in this way could she cultivate in time at the beginning of spring and seize the good season of sowing.

Lu Li was looking for her, "Have you selected your candidate? There are several families who are clamoring and have opinions. When they heard about this opportunity, they all wanted to join in."

"Not only that, I see that there are many dissatisfied people in other villages. They say that my father pretended to be a public servant and used the money that the county magistrate provided for them to buy Zhuangzi. He only cares about his own happiness."

Xu Mengxiao sneered, "When did those 200 taels become money for them to do things for them?"

Not to mention that the 200 Liang Li has not been spent yet, so what if it is spent on myself?
Don't forget why this money was awarded to him. Judging from Song Jiu's intention, it was clear that he wanted to reward Uncle Li Zheng directly, but he chose this name because it was against the rules.

"Never mind them." Lu Lizheng didn't care very much. He had known that doing so would offend people. Everyone felt that their family was in trouble and needed help. They worried about inequality rather than scarcity. They even ignored the facts for the sake of profit and became red-eyed. Go scramble for it.

"No, we can't just leave it alone. If things go on like this, they really feel that they have suffered a big loss and will get into trouble sooner or later." Xu Mengxiao said.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Dad, go find those who have opinions. Just say that Zhuangzi belongs to me and I have the right to decide everything. If they have any opinions, come to me and tell me!"

Now, Lu Li didn't doubt Xu Mengxiao's courage and means at all. He stopped trying to persuade her and just helped her get things done.

During this period, Xu Mengxiao also selected the helpers and asked Lu He to help her extract several lists.

"Just like the various lists posted at the city gate, the more eye-catching the better. It would be best to post a copy at the entrances and exits of the town and county. After all, Dad has done such a good thing and more people must see it."

Giving in silence?It doesn't exist. If you do something good, you have to make it known to the public. Otherwise, they would think that her father, the mayor of the town, is just freeloading.

Lu He naturally has no objections.

This time, I found that there were quite a lot of people. Maybe Xu Mengxiao didn’t actually need so many people, but he still chose dozens. In addition to considering his own interests, he also wanted to help those who were extremely poor. Common people.

The man couldn't help but soften his eyes, and asked Lu Hai to cut out a few large pieces of red paper for him. It happened that they also wanted to write Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters during the Chinese New Year, and they had just bought a lot of them.

After the paper was cut, Lu He dipped it in the full ink and started writing with a flourish.

The next morning, those villagers who received the notice and were dissatisfied with Lu Lizheng's actions came one after another, most of them from other villages.

The villagers of Yaoyu Village have been dealing with the Lu family for so long, and they have some understanding of their family's style, especially Xu Mengxiao's, and they really don't dare to act rashly. Although some people are deliberately setting fire to it, they only dare to do it quietly.

At this moment, Xu Mengxiao moved a chair and sat swaggeringly at the front door, looking at those people with a calm tone.

"This is your only chance to fight for your rights. Are you sure you are all here?"

For a moment, those people who had not planned to come forward but only wanted to add fuel to the fire behind the scenes could not help but step forward excitedly, fearing that there would be real benefits but they would miss this opportunity.

"Very good." Xu Mengxiao curled up the corners of her mouth, and a dangerous light flashed past.
