Splendid Sweet Garden

Chapter 28 The Uncompromising Yan Chen
In fact, Li Changgui had no other choice. For such a stingy person, Zhen Tian had already offended him yesterday, but if he could find someone else to teach in the village and gain popularity for him, he wouldn't still be licking his face today.

There are only a limited number of people who can study in these ten miles and eight towns. Those who want to continue the exam are busy studying on their own. After taking the imperial examination, they will become a high-ranking official and want to give up the imperial examination. Basically, those who sit in the library to teach are not young and have no hope of the imperial examination. elder.

But it is such a person, even in this village, if you invite a gentleman to sit in the hall, you can't invite him if you lose three taels of silver a month.

But Yan Chen is different, he lives in the village, his legs are inconvenient, and he is still young, able to teach, and has no chance to take the imperial examination, which means that Yan Chen can teach in Qingshan Village for many years.

Just thinking that as long as Yan Chen is around, Li Zheng can continue to do this, Li Changgui's heart is hot.

Yan Chen had his own calculations in mind, so he didn't ask much at this time. One hundred coins for a student sounds like a lot, and indeed many families in the village might not be able to come up with this spare money.

But those who want their children to study can always get some money. If they don't have this financial ability, there is no need to dream of learning to write and read.

And one hundred cash per person, as long as a dozen people are accepted, there are still some in this village. Yan Chen can earn more money than usual in a month, which is equivalent to one tael of silver a month.

Li Changgui was surprised that Yan Chen's request did not embarrass him, but was reasonable. It seems that scholars are different and reasonable.

Well, this is really a misunderstanding.

"I mean I want you to teach in the ancestral hall of our Li family. The houses there are all good. If you guys think it's inconvenient to live here, you can live in the ancestral hall!" Li Changgui didn't say anything about money. .

This means that he approves of this method, but he has other opinions on the place of teaching.

Hearing what he said, Yan Chen directly denied, "It's too hard running around with my wife every day, no way!"

Zhen Tian was sitting in the yard, and could hear the voices of the two talking, seeing Yan Chen using himself as an excuse, turning around and sticking out his tongue at Yan Chen while Li Changgui was out of sight.

Yan Chen couldn't help smiling at her happily, watching Li Changgui thinking, then continued to watch Zhen Tian working in the yard, waiting for Li Changgui to make a decision in no hurry.

This Li Changgui made a good plan and used their Li family ancestral hall to teach. In the future, it is unclear who owns this school. Yan Chen is so troublesome to teach, it is not really to make Li Changgui famous.

Only by teaching in his family, it is beyond Li Changgui's ability to say who the people in this village will remember this kind of favor in the future, and who will speak better.

Li Changgui looked at it and thought about it. In fact, he meant it on purpose. He didn't want to agree to Yan Chen's request, but Yan Chen didn't respond at all. He was sure that he would agree.

This Shuxiu has more than one tael of silver a month, and the few families in this village can have this income, such a big temptation, and Yan Chen still hasn't been swayed by it, which shows that his mind is set. of.

"Brother Chen is inconvenient. I can ask someone to push you to study in the ancestral hall every day. After all, your place is a bit remote, and it takes time for the children in the village to go back and forth. Maybe people from Sanhe Village will come here in the future, so it will be farther away. The Li Family Ancestral Hall is more convenient!"

Li Changgui still wanted to fight for it, so he found another excuse.

Yan Chen said indifferently, "You need to be quiet when you study. I'm pretty good here, so I don't have to worry about other things and can't study well. If Uncle Li thinks my conditions are not suitable, why don't you think about it again!"

He didn't have that much patience with Li Changgui and Yan Chen, so he said this simply. Li Changgui also saw his attitude, so he had to agree, "Okay, then I will talk to the villagers for a while!"

Although he agreed, Li Changgui's face was filled with displeasure. Originally, he planned well. In this way, although he also gave his village a teacher who taught, this matter cannot be counted only on himself. body.

For him, the benefit was halved, and he was naturally uncomfortable. Yan Chen promised him that he had no surprises, and then he nodded and saw off the guests. From the beginning to the end, Li Changgui didn't even drink a sip of water.

It wasn't that Yan Chen and Zhen Tian didn't give him water on purpose. In fact, Zhen Tian poured him a bowl of water from the very beginning. The boiled water at home had cooled down.

Not to mention people like Yan Chen who have learned etiquette since childhood, even Zhen Tian is not such a rude person, but Li Changgui planned to have a good fight with Yan Chen today.

He prepared a lot of reasons to persuade Yan Chen, including how to accept Shu Xiu, what to teach, where to teach, how to solve lunch and so on.

As a result, when Yan Chen was in front of him, all his plans in advance were meaningless. Yan Chen directly made the request, and he only had to choose whether to agree or not.

Li Changgui, who was used to being praised by the villagers for many years, couldn't stand such aggrieved, but he couldn't say anything, he could only agree, and left angrily.

"Tsk tsk, it seems that he is very angry again this time, he is not young, why is he so angry?" Waiting to see Li Changgui leave, Zhen Tian looked at his back and said.

Yan Chen came over and pinched Zhen Tian's face, "Don't pay attention to him, he won't make any trouble, where did I teach you just now?"

A little Lizheng didn't know that Yan Chen had put too much thought into it, so he continued to work with Zhen Tian and teach her to read.

On the contrary, when Li Changgui came out from Zhen Tian's house, he met Erlang Zhou who was about to go hunting in the mountains. When he saw him, Zhou Zhou said hello and asked Li Changgui what he was here for.

"It's nothing else, I didn't see that the children in our village want to study and have no chance, Brother Chen is a scholar, so I specially asked him to teach people in the village how to read and write, and have a plan!

Brother Chen was unwilling at first, but yesterday I persuaded him for a long time, and today I came to reason with him, and finally got him to nod. I wanted to make him feel relieved, and went directly to the Li family's ancestral hall to teach. It is convenient for everyone.

In the end, Brother Chen didn't want to, so he insisted on asking the villagers to help build their house and teach in his house. Hey, it's rare for me to persuade him to be willing, and he is stubborn, so I can only agree, but it's just hard work. The children of the village are gone! "

Li Changgui's words are also putting gold on his face, as if he has wasted a lot of effort, put all the credit on himself, and said that Yan Chen has a bad personality or something.

Zhou Zhoulang also heard his wife talk about Zhen Tian last night. He had met Yan Chen before, so he didn't look unreasonable, and he still knew who Li Changgui was.
