Chapter 385 Sima Ao Wants to Be a Jade Dragon Fan
six years later

On this day, when Jingjing came back from buying goods, she happened to see Sima Ao wandering in front of a pawn shop with a folding fan in his hand.

Jingjing was about to go and ask, what's up with Sima Aolai's pawn shop?

But he was blocked by a passing carriage, and after the carriage left, Sima Ao was nowhere to be seen.

Two days later, Jingjing went to Jiang Min, told about Sima Ao's visit to the pawn shop the day before yesterday, and asked Jiang Min if he had any difficulties?
Jiang Min sighed and replied: "Others opened the academy to make money, but my husband opened the academy to subsidize money. The current academy is hard to maintain, and my husband has pawned everything he can; when I went to the pawnshop two days ago, I must be pawning money." The precious fan is also pawned."

Precious fan?
Dongfang Yu'er, who was possessed in Jingjing's body, was shocked.

"What kind of fan?" Jingjing asked.

"Before Mr. Dongfang left, he gave Husband the fan. Husband was reluctant to use it and kept it as a treasure. If it weren't for the college's difficulty in maintaining it, Husband would not have the idea of ​​using a fan." Jiang Min replied.

Is it the Jade Dragon Fan, the Jade Dragon Fan I gave Sima Ao?
Sima Ao, how could you pawn your Jade Dragon Fan?
Is that your magic weapon?

When Dongfang Yuer heard that Sima Ao wanted to pawn the Yulong fan, she got out of Jingjing's body angrily and nervously, and scolded Sima Ao.

"Did you pawn that fan?" Jingjing asked Jiang Min nervously.

"My husband finally hesitated."

Hearing that Yulong Fan was not pawned, Dongfang Yuer returned to Jingjing.

"There are more and more students in the college now, why can't it continue?" Jingjing didn't understand.

It turned out that the students received more and more money. Pens, ink, paper, and inkstone all needed money, and the most expensive thing was the food for the students.Although the college will also grow some food by itself, the food will not be harvested all at once, and it will also face unforeseen pests, floods, and droughts.As a result, tuition fees and expenses have not changed positively, making it difficult for the college to sustain itself.

Jingjing now understands that Sima Ao treats the school as a charitable school, which makes the school unable to continue.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the local government cut dramas, which led to continuous wars, land loss, and the misery of the people, resulting in a decline in productivity and an increase in prices.In the past, the price of rice was only five cents a bucket, but now it has more than doubled.

Jingjing suggested to Jiang Min that Sima Ao raise his tuition.

Jingjing shook her head without a word.

In fact, Jiang Min suggested to Sima Ao many times that if he couldn't bear it anymore, he should increase the tuition fee!

Most of the students accepted by the college are children from poor families, Sima Ao couldn't do it.

Jingjing knew Sima Ao's stubbornness and greatness, and it would be really difficult to persuade Sima Ao to raise tuition fees.

If there is no increase in tuition fees, then the college really can't survive.

This time, Jingjing has no choice!

...............................

Sima Xiang passed away three years ago.

Since his father passed away, Sima Ao rarely came back.

When he came back this time, Sima Ao planned to sell the old house.

Looking at the gate plaque, Sima Ao was in pain!
Sima Ao is also reluctant to sell the old house, because he has too many memories, whether it is good or painful.

It’s just that an old house like this needs expensive repairs every year, otherwise the old house will be easily attacked by insects and ants.

Sima Ao really couldn't afford the repair fee, so he thought that instead of letting the old house fall into disrepair and being infested by insects and ants, it would be better to sell it, so that the academy would have to continue.

The husband is no longer a fan, and turned around to sell the old house, which Jiang Min couldn't understand.

Jiang Min firmly disagreed with selling the old house, and this was the first time Jiang Min opposed Sima Ao's decision.

Jiang Min does not agree to sell the old house, because the only valuable in the family is this old house.After selling the old house, where will my daughter live in the future?

Sima Ao was a little confused, why did the lady who was always understanding and caring show extreme opposition to this matter.

Jiang Min disagreed firmly, so Sima Ao had no choice but to give up.

Sima Ao worried about the college's expenses every day, and his black hair gradually turned gray.

Jiang Min was very distressed when she saw it.

Alas, who told me to only love this man in my life?
Jiang Min finally agreed to sell the old house.

When the parents of the students learned about this, they offered to give an extra piece of bacon for the tuition. Sima Ao was very moved.

After discussion, it was decided that for each student, each semester, the tuition fee for an extra piece of bacon will be increased.

Some wealthy parents were moved by Sima Ao's idea of ​​education without discrimination, and donated money and materials to the college.

The old house was sold + tuition fees increased + donations from the parents of the students; the college was able to maintain itself.

....................................

Sima Ao wrote 'big' on the blackboard.

Sima Ao said in class: "You have learned the word 'person'. Today the teacher will teach you the character 'big'. In fact, big characters are very easy to write and easy to recognize. Just add a horizontal line to the character 'person', which is the character 'big'." .”

"Stand still, spread your legs apart, and open your hands. Look, does it look like a 'big' character?" Sima Ao demonstrated another 'big' character in class.

This time Sima Ao also called a student to the podium, just like himself, making a "big" gesture.

Ha ha!

so fun!
The students under the podium also stood up one after another, and made a "big" character in the same way.

The sky is big, the earth is big, and people are also big, like human beings.Two reading methods, vocabulary, Dawang, Dafu, and adults.

After Sima Ao explained the meaning of "big", he asked the students to write the character "big".

The strokes of "big" characters are simple and easy to write, but it is difficult for students who have just grasped the pen to learn characters.

Some students wrote very quickly, and the writing was beautiful, but some not only couldn't, but also made ink all over the paper.

Usually, for such a clumsy student, Sima Ao would let him practice on the ground before writing on paper for him, so as not to waste paper and ink and stain his clothes.

The students learned the word 'big'.

Sima Ao continued to teach students to write the word "天".

The word "天" means adding a horizontal line to "大".

Students have learned the character 'big', now learning 'day', not to mention how easy it is.

Sima Ao's teaching method is from simple to difficult, from difficult to in-depth.

When Sima Ao was giving a lecture, Xiao Jinlian, Fat Ya, and Li Changshou under the podium were mischievous.

Li Changshou, who was sitting in the back, touched Fatty.

Fat girl turned her head and saw Li Changshou making faces.

Fat Ya giggled.

Xiao Jinlian on the side turned her head and was also amused by Li Changshou's grimace.

The laughter of the three attracted the attention of all the students.

Cough!

"What are you three laughing at?" Sima Ao asked the three of them with sharp eyes.

"No no no..."

Seeing the gentleman's serious face, the three of them were so frightened that they sat down obediently.

Sima Aozhi's daughter is very naughty, just like himself when he was a child.

"Sima Lian, come up here and write the word 'heaven'."

Hearing his father calling him, Xiao Jinlian came to the podium tremblingly, took his father's chalk, and wrote the word 'Heaven' on the blackboard.

Sima Ao was very strict with his daughter, thinking that if her daughter didn't pay attention in class, she would definitely not be able to write '天'; if she couldn't write '天', she must be punished.

Sima Ao didn't expect his daughter to write the word '天', and she wrote it beautifully.
