Chapter 425: Someone from Beijing is here
"Xianggong..." Back in his yard, Luo Shi, who had been worried since eating, looked at Song Yi'an hesitantly, his eyes full of worry.
Come back to his senses, Song Yi'an patted her arm, smiled at her, and comforted her: "It's okay, I have my own opinion." He had to show his own attitude, and he couldn't let Dad go on like this.
Luo Shi nodded, trying to laugh, but couldn't.
I thought that Xianggong's situation would get better after entering the county government, but who would have thought that there would be more troubles.
Well, if only we could separate the families.
No, it is useless to divide the family. Xianggong is the eldest son, and the rule here is that the parents-in-law follow the eldest son to take care of the elderly, and they still have to live with the parents-in-law.
Grandma is okay, I just want to say a few words to her. As a daughter-in-law, how can she not be wronged? She just doesn't take it to heart.
My father-in-law is different. He has a good face and loves to take care of things. He thinks that he is a powerful person after being praised for a few words outside.
If it is a serious matter, the husband will help him because of his father-in-law's face. The key is that those people seem to have no idea, don't they know what their children and grandchildren are like? He also sharpened his head and wanted to work as an errand in the county government. The county government doesn't have the final say, so how can he help?
Seeing that the husband didn’t help, those relatives became angry when they spoke, and thought that the husband was small-minded, and they couldn’t see that their children and grandchildren were more promising than him.
Eunuch is not happy either, he feels that his husband has let him lose face. The father-in-law is an elder who crushed people to death under the tongue, what can the father-in-law do?
Song Lixian is also unhappy tonight.
The classmates who studied with him were not as good as him in their homework. Some of them were only child students, and some even failed to pass the entrance examination of child students, but they were all invited into the school run by the county government as masters.
He is so knowledgeable, but he was not invited by the government. No wonder Song Lixian is so happy!
He plans to take the exam next year, even if the government invites him to be a master, he will still refuse. It's not a county school, it's just a school that teaches people literacy and enlightenment, and he still doesn't like it.
But it is one thing to invite or not to invite him, and another to go or not. People worse than him were invited, but he was invited. Isn't this contemptuous of him? This made Song Lixian very angry.
Song Lixian is very confident in his talents and learning. The county magistrate praised him and appreciated him very much, so why was he the only one who didn't receive the invitation?
Brother! It must be the eldest brother who spoke ill of him in front of the county magistrate.
Big brother has been jealous of him since he was a child, jealous of his high talent, jealous of his being a scholar at a young age, and even more jealous of his father's preference for him. But they are brothers, how can the eldest brother do this?
Song Lixian was so angry that he endured it all the time during dinner, looking at his elder brother's sanctimonious face, he really wanted to question him loudly and quarrel with him severely.
But he has no evidence. Ever since he entered the county government, the eldest brother has changed and become more cunning.
Hmph, do you think this will block his way? Innocent!
Yingyinggougou, the eldest brother is just a small official in the county government.
And he was born extraordinary. Sooner or later, he will soar into the sky, and no one can block his path to Qingyun. Just wait, with this slap he will slap him hard in the face, trampling down all those who stand in his way.
Song Lixian clenched his fists, panting rapidly, his eyes were scarlet.
In the evening of the second day, when Song Yian came back from the Yamen, his father was already waiting for him, "How? Did you tell your lord? Did your lord agree?"
When he saw the eldest son's drooping face, he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously.
Song Yi'an was dejected, opened his mouth a few times, and finally made a sound in his father's expectant eyes, "Our lord hates favoritism the most, and the Ma family has done too much. Still suffocating. My son is... oh, my lord not only scolded my son severely, but also..."
Speaking of this, he stopped, looking very embarrassed.
"What else?" Patriarch Song couldn't help asking.
"Also transferred the family of my second uncle's cousin's daughter to a remote small fishing village."
"Well, what should I do?" Patriarch Song lost his voice. He is a person who can't study well if he can't read or write, and his abilities are average. But he has all the faults of a scholar: aloofness, good face, high self-esteem... When something really happens, he panics.
Opening up wasteland is tiring and not enough to eat, but at least they can save their lives. It is different in the small fishing village, where there are no fields, and people make a living by fishing. They can't swim, and if they get on the boat, they will be in danger of dying in the sea.
Even if you are lucky enough to save your life, who knows when that ferocious pirate will land on the shore? The small fishing village bears the brunt of it!
"How can my son know? Dad, my son has really tried his best. Because of this, the son's hard work for several months has been in vain. From tomorrow on, the son will stay in the yamen and will not come back. I have a bad impression in my heart." Song Yi'an left after finishing speaking.
As for the follow-up, he didn't want to know at all. Anyway, he was already planning to live in the yamen, so no one should bother him anymore.
On the day the school started, someone came from the capital. It was a father-in-law surnamed Su in the palace who served in front of the imperial court.
Wearing that Jiuxiao is often in and out of the palace, he has naturally met the eunuchs who served in front of the imperial court. He is only familiar with this Eunuch Su, and has no friendship or dealings with him.
After all, he is a former imperial eunuch, and he is very good at being a man. He didn't put on airs just because Wen Jiuxiao is now a seventh-rank county magistrate. He still called him "Master Xiaowen", and his attitude was no different from that in Beijing.
Wen Jiuxiao didn't care even more, Shanyun County... what should be hidden, has already been kept strictly hidden, and the rest, don't be afraid to see.
Since we want to see the people's livelihood in Shanyun County, and we have caught up again, let's start with the school.
Enlighten the wisdom of the people, any dynasty is the most important thing.
Newly opened schools, each classroom is spacious and bright, filled with neat desks, children wearing patched clothes sitting upright, all of them are sallow and emaciated, it can be seen that none of them come from a good family background. But their backs are straight, and their eyes are full of desire.
On their desks, there was a black painted board, a writing brush, a bowl of water, and no books.
The teacher who taught the class had no books in his hands. After entering the school, Eunuch Su discovered that there were large black wooden boards hanging on the surrounding walls, on which the contents of the "Three Character Classic" were written in white characters.
Oh, the original book is here.
Wen Jiuxiao hooked the corners of his lower lips and explained: "The common people are too poor to buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and the government has no money in their accounts. All they can provide students is a pen and a little ink. They can only use this This is a crude way of teaching. For beginners, students first dipped in water to write on the blackboard, and then dipped in ink to write on paper when they are proficient, which made Eunuch Su laugh."
"It's Mr. Xiaowen who can come up with such a useful and affordable method." In Su Gonggong's words, there was praise for Wen Jiuxiao. Before entering the palace, he was also a farmer's son. His family was poor, so he had to find a way out when he couldn't survive.
Eunuch Su learned how to read after entering the palace, so he naturally understood how luxurious it is to be able to read. However, Mr. Xiaowen opened such a school, so that so many poor children have the opportunity to study, which made Eunuch Su very moved.
Master Xiaowen is worthy of being Master Xiaowen, he is the pillar of the country wherever he goes!
