Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 229
But after letting these students relax for a while, Master Lin motioned for them to go in and assigned homework.

Then he came out and sat down in his study in the front yard on weekdays, and asked his youngest son to bring in the students and parents who came to the door today.

When a family came in, Master Lin couldn't help admiring even though he was well-informed. The appearance and demeanor of this family were not from the countryside at all.

Especially Mu Tianze, with a straight figure, like a tall and straight Hsinchu in spring, with handsome facial features, although his skin is not fair enough, he looks extraordinarily energetic.

In addition, Mu Tianze was standing outside the window just now, concentrating on listening to the class, and he also noticed it.

After teaching students for so many years, he can tell at a glance whether the students are listening carefully or putting on airs. Naturally, he can see clearly. Mu Tianze is really thirsty for knowledge.

He was satisfied with three points in his heart first, and planned to accept this disciple as long as he was not particularly bad after the test.

Shen Jiayan brought Mu Tianze to visit Mr. Lin first, and then said what he wanted.

Master Lin stroked the beard under his chin and nodded: "You guys know the rules of accepting students here, right?"

Mu Tianze said loudly: "Students know, please ask master to test!"

Master Lin nodded, and first asked Mu Tianze what he had learned, so he knew it well.

A look of embarrassment appeared on Mu Tianze's face. When he was in Mu's house in the county town, he didn't pay much attention to reading, and he was just in the middle of the law. He just finished his daily tasks.

So far, I have only learned three hundred thousand books, and there are also superficial enlightenment books such as "Disciple Regulations", "Children's Learning Qionglin", "Enlightenment of Sound Rhythm", and "Zengguang Xianwen".

Or a few days ago when Shen Jiayan came back from the county again, the county magistrate's wife gave him a few books that the magistrate had read. I don't know if they packed them up by accident or put them in on purpose. There was actually a copy of "The Analects" inside. , and there are comments from the county magistrate and the county magistrate.

When he saw it, he felt ashamed, and heard that the county magistrate is only two or three years older than him, but he can already memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, and he can explain the meaning of the scriptures.

Only then did he realize how much time he had wasted.

So Master Lin asked, he felt ashamed and ashamed, but he still told what he had learned so far very honestly, and did not dare to exaggerate.

Lin Fuzi frowned slightly. With Mu Tianze's progress, after enlightenment, he only learned this level, which is indeed a bit behind.

But looking at the shame on the child's face, and recalling the child's life experience, his father passed away, and he was driven to the countryside with his stepmother, it is estimated that he is indeed unable to study.

Now it is estimated that the family conditions have improved a little, so that he can continue to support him to study.

From this point of view, the child's stepmother is kind and virtuous.

Mrs. Lin took another look at Shen Jiayan. Although she combed the woman's hair, she didn't look very old, younger than her own little girl, and she immediately felt pity.

This stepmother is only this age, not a few years older than this child, and she can grit her teeth for her stepson to study. No wonder the magistrate of the county rewarded her with a plaque "Graceful than loving mother".

At the moment, my heart for accepting this disciple has changed from three points to five points.

After pondering for a while, he tested several questions of Mu Tianze, and only selected a few paragraphs from the books he had read for him to recite.

Mu Tianze is not stage-frightened, he recited it without thinking, very fluent, it seems that he reads and recites it frequently, and knows it by heart.

Master Lin was even more satisfied. He also heard that he had only read one Analects of Confucius, and selected a few passages from the Analects, and memorized them all.

By this time, Master Lin was still expressionless.

He motioned for Mu Tianze to go to one side of the table, where he had already set up a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked him to write a few words.

Mu Tianze took a deep breath, walked to the table, first poured a little water into the inkstone, held the ink stick in his right hand, and held his sleeve in his left hand, and slowly rubbed out half of the inkstone.

Then he picked up the pen unhurriedly, dipped the tip of the pen in ink, pondered for a moment, and wrote a line: The sea of ​​learning is boundless.

Then he put the pen on the pen holder, and stepped aside respectfully.

Master Lin looked at the words written by Mu Tianze, and it seemed that he had practiced them. Although they were still a little immature, he could see the edges and corners between the lines.

After a long time, Master Lin nodded, showing a little satisfaction: "Okay, don't care about anything else, I can see that you are not wasted in your daily life, it's all right if you have this diligent heart!"

Mu Tianze was stunned for a moment, but Shen Jiayan reacted quickly and gave him a push: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Why don't you kowtow to the master and pour tea—"

Only then did Mu Tianze come back to his senses, and with a thud, he knelt down to Mrs. Lin, and kowtowed three times first.

Sure enough, when he raised his head, his forehead was bruised.

Master Lin didn't show it on the surface, but he was extremely satisfied in his heart.

The little bookboy at the side saw the right moment, brought a cup of tea, and handed it to Mu Tianze.

Mu Tianze took the tea, and offered his hands to Master Lin respectfully: "Master, please drink tea!"

Master Lin took the tea with a smile, took a sip, and accepted the student.

Shen Jiayan also presented Shu Xiu, which he had prepared earlier, and thanked Master Lin very sincerely.

Mrs. Lin already thought that Shen Jiayan's stepmother was a rare and virtuous woman in the world, and had a good impression of her. Seeing that she was sincere in thanking her, and neither humble nor overbearing, she gave her a higher look, and her attitude became a little more amiable.

Tell Shen Jiayan to give them three days to prepare. Although generally speaking, Mu Tianze lives in the country and it is not convenient to go to school. up.

Not only can you communicate with other students, if you don’t understand anything, you can also ask your teacher at any time.

It's just that his family's situation is special, and Master Lin also knows that he is an orphan and widow. If Mu Tianze lives in the town again, a young stepmother like Shen Jiayan lives in the countryside with her younger son and daughter. Not very safe.

If something really happened, I'm afraid there is no one to report it.

Therefore, Mr. Lin suggested that if conditions do not allow, let Mu Tianze go to school, get up early every day and drive the mountain road to the town, and then go home after finishing his homework in the middle of the day, that is, Mu Tianze has suffered a little bit, But the safest.

Of course, if family conditions permit, it would be better for the whole family to move to the town and rent a yard to live in.

Mu Tianze only remembered this after hearing Master Lin's words, and the joy on his face disappeared immediately, and he couldn't help looking at Shi Qi.

If he lived in the town, wouldn't there be only Shen Jiayan and his younger siblings left in the family?Da Zhuang and his four or five boys are holding a contract of selling their lives, he is not at ease, let alone Shi Qi?

He promised that he would watch Shi Qi's every move!If he wasn't at home, and Shi Qi possessed kung fu, if he really wanted to attack his family, Da Zhuang and the others wouldn't be able to stop him.

When Shi Qi saw Mu Tianze's eyes, he knew what he was worried about. He grinned happily, weighed Mu Tianrun in his arms, and said with a smile, "Nephew, don't worry about living with Mrs. Lin. What about the second uncle! Are you still worried? Take care of your mother and younger siblings!"

Mu Tianze was even more worried.
