Chapter 497 (1/2)

A lucky day was chosen, and the school in the village began.

I asked a scholar in the county who was lame because of an accident and had no chance to take the imperial examination named Xu to be a teacher. Sun Ming recommended him. Lian Fangzhou inquired a little, so he consulted with Zhang Lizheng and the villagers and invited them back.

Zhang Lizheng and the villagers were a little reluctant at first. They always felt that it was necessary to invite a normal and well-rounded gentleman to be decent, a lame one to hurt their image, and it was not pleasant to say.

Lian Fangzhou persuades Xu Xiucai patiently for a while, saying that Xu Xiucai's talent is excellent and his character is excellent. If he had not been lifted up six or seven years ago because of his lameness, where would he have been invited?

There was also a reason why he was lame. At first, it was to save a child who was nearly run over by a carriage that he was hit and fell off his leg. This shows that this person must have a heart and let him teach the children more reassuring.

Even Fang Zhou insisted, and Sun Ming also said good words, plus all the expenses are from Lian Fang Zhou, Zhang Lizheng and the village elders were confused, had to reluctantly nod to agree.

Later, when Xu Xiucai came, Zhang Lizheng and the villagers went to see him specially. After a conversation, they changed their attitude towards him and looked at him differently. It wasn't long before they became more familiar with each other and admired Xu Xiucai more.

Lian Fangzhou breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and asked Zhang Lizheng to let out his words. Those whose children want to go to school can sign up. First, those who are close to our village, and those who have finished their own village can only accept those from other villages.

The whole village is free of repair, books, ink and other self-contained, the nature of the outside village is inevitable.

Lian Fangzhou asked Sun Ming to take Lian Ze to pick up Xu Xiucai. In January, there are three liang of silver and fifty Jin of rice. In the four seasons, there are two sets of inside and outside clothes. In winter, there is also a heavy coat.

Xu Xiucai's legs and feet are inconvenient to take care of. In addition to his wife, MI Shi, and his seven year old son, Douer, there is also an old woman in her fifties.

The houses behind the school are spacious enough. Even Fangzhou asked him to come and live with his family. Michaelis and Mrs. Xu help to clean the school, clean up the flowers and trees, and open another wage, one or two silver a month.

The reason why Lian Fangzhou gave another salary to Michelle and Mrs. Xu was that she also had some care. What she didn't expect was that someone in the village came to her door and said something nice in a roundabout way for a long time. She actually took a fancy to the work and wanted to take it from Michelle and Mrs. Xu.

Lian Fangzhou was shocked and couldn't laugh or cry. It was easy to stop the idea of coming.

Because it is free of charge, the school is full of people. On the first day of the school, the tall and short students in the past are uneven. The big ones are 13-4 years old, and the small ones are only seven years old!

Even Fanzhou looked very uncomfortable, but everyone was used to it.

Lian Fangzhou shakes his head. Since they say it's free, they can come if they want!

Seeing that there were a little more people, she asked Mr. Xu whether to buy more tables and chairs?

Mr. Xu smiled and shook his head calmly. He smiled at her and said: ”reading is also a hard work. It's not a free good thing to take advantage of. You see many people lack one or two ink books. Where do they really miss books? Within three days, people must be less than half! Let them make do with it in three days! ”

Lian Fangzhou couldn't help laughing.
