The life of the Xianyu family through books

Chapter 765 Top Students (asking for monthly tickets!)

The two young masters of the Yan family came to give return gifts, and the residential area where the convicted officials lived was in a state of excitement.

It has been some time since we arrived in Xiaoan Village. These people look more human and no longer as miserable as they were before.

They cherish the days they live in Xiaoan Village and never want to go back to the dark place of the quarry.

They had no food to eat, no clothes to wear, and every day when they opened their eyes, they went to work in the mine. The hands that were originally used to hold a pen were now used to smash and move stones. Their knuckles were cracked and their calluses were rough, and they would be injured if they were not careful.

The winter in Guanzhou is so cold!

No, not only in winter. There are late spring cold snaps, the ground is bleak with the autumn wind, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge in summer. They are thinly dressed and weak, and they have not eaten meat all year round. Their health is getting worse and worse, and they are very susceptible to colds.

After an illness, many old and young people, who are weak and frail, cannot survive.

Now they have a shelter from the wind and rain, and jobs that can be exchanged for work points. The work points can be exchanged for clothes, food, firewood, medicine and all the necessities of life in the village.

Although they are all doing the same job, the work in Xiaoan Village is not only easier, but they are also treated like human beings.

Days like these were the good days they had never dared to dream of since they were exiled to Guanzhou.

The more you understand, the more you realize who is the reason why they can live like this today.

It was the Yan family, it was Scholar Yan Da and Scholar Yan Er who protected them.

  Taking them away from the quarry was a favor to them. They felt unworthy of accepting the work points they earned from working for the village!

When they heard that the eldest daughter of the Yan family was going to get engaged, they decided to send a gift to the Yan family together.

If you are short of money, give one tael; if you are more than enough, give two taels.

Neither one has too little, nor too much.

It is the common wish of everyone not to reveal who is from which family.

Yan Xiangheng and Yan Yu went from house to house.

These people are in trouble now, they were once people beyond their reach.

Yan Yu felt that since he wanted to employ someone, he shouldn't be so arrogant.

What does the Yan family have? Her uncle is still in the stage of ascending to heaven, and her father is just beginning to show his talent as a sixth-rank military general. The court has always valued civil officials over military officials, and these are all civil officials. In the past, they would not even bat an eyelid when seeing her father.

In short, the main point is sincerity and helping people in times of need.

Yan Yu and Yan Xiangheng came from one family, and then another followed.

The adults were still able to keep their composure, but the children, no matter how hard they tried to teach themselves, could not help but keep their eyes on the bacon and sausages.

Even though each of them was willing to give money as gifts, they were reluctant to spend an extra copper coin on a daily basis. The number of times they ate meat was probably even less than that of the new recruits in the small camp.

"Hasn't our village school said long ago that as long as the age is right, everyone can attend the class, boys and girls are accepted, yes, the classes are held in the same room, our village children don't have to pay for the school, those who want to study outside have to pay tuition, which can be paid quarterly or monthly, the village head grandfather knows the details better, it is they who set the rules."

Someone asked about the issue of boys and girls going to school, and Yan Yu took the opportunity to say a few more words.

"I know. This gift package includes a lunch. The teacher who teaches in the school will also provide lunch at noon."

The village society will gradually improve.

From Yan Huaiwen to Yan Yu, the Yan family attached great importance to education in the village.

Especially the younger generation of children.

Under the influence of Yan Yu, they are motivated, hardworking and not afraid of hardship. Although their academic performance may not be obvious yet, they are already very skilled in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in math class. Their physical fitness is excellent, so their daily exercises are not in vain.

Yan Yu also likes to develop in multiple dimensions without rules. The children in the village follow her and practice a variety of skills, such as climbing trees, swimming, digging holes, and roping...

It turns out that increasing skills can really build a person's self-confidence.

The children from Xiaoan Village look very energetic when they go out.

After all, he used to be an official, so he has insight and vision.

Official families pay more attention to the cultivation of their offspring.

They have been coveting the village school for a long time. Recently, they heard a rumor that Xiaoan Village School is going to recruit children from other villages, and every family is extremely interested in it.

"General Yan, I wonder if we can settle down in your village like the Kang family did?"

Yan Yu looked at Yan Xiangheng.

She guessed that someone would ask, and had already discussed with her eldest brother how to deal with it.

"You were all convicted and exiled to Guanzhou for different reasons, so we cannot generalize." Yan Xiangheng said calmly: "Whether you can be exiled, my father still needs to check the classics in detail and carefully examine precedents." As soon as he said this, everyone understood.

The Yan family left a way out.

The word "precedent" is also very interesting. Does it refer to the precedent of exile and exile from nationality, or does it refer to the precedent of the Kang family?

"I want to go out to study in some time. I have lived in the countryside for a long time and don't know much about the various academies. I wonder if you seniors can give me some advice." Yan Xiangheng asked for advice.

Most of the offending officials were exiled officials from Beijing, and Wuya Academy was soon mentioned.

Yan Xiangheng asked a few more questions and seemed more interested.

These shrewd people noticed something and naturally focused the topic on Wuya Academy.

Talk a lot.

Tell everything you know.

Those who mentioned that their children had studied at Wuya Academy were given special attention by Yan Xiangheng and Yan Yu, who glanced at them a few more times.

Soon these people were called over and appeared in front of the two of them.

Not only Yan Yu was muttering in his heart that these top students were really perceptive!

Even Yan Xiangheng was shocked.

The waiter really said it.

These criminal officials are full of tricks. They don't need to be explained explicitly. Just mention a topic and they will naturally follow up and quickly understand their intentions.

……

Yan Huaiwen met several people who came back with Heng'er and Xiao Er.

A pair of cousins, both of similar age and already adults.

There were also two teenagers, who were younger and looked to be around twelve or thirteen years old.

Yan Yu pulled his uncle aside and told him what had happened in a low voice.

Yan Huaiwen's gaze towards Yan Xiangheng changed immediately.

The latter was deeply touched.

He was paying attention to his father's expression, and his heart was warmed by the obvious relief in his father's eyes.

Yan Xiangheng’s first reaction was that the waiter was right!

Then I immediately reacted and the waiter spoke up for me.

Yan Xiangheng's ears turned red and he looked at his sister.

Yan Yu blinked happily: See, brother, uncle likes surprises like this!

Yan Huaiwen examined a few sentences.

The two older cousins ​​were not as knowledgeable as the two younger boys.

He then changed his questioning to the streets and people's lives in the capital, the surrounding villages and towns, official roads, post stations, and inns.

The two cousins ​​had been to many places and could tell you everything there was to know.

I think my ancestors spent a lot of time wandering around when they were officials in Beijing in their early years.

Yan Huaiwen knew what was going on.

Let these four go home first.

"Uncle, which one do you think can be used?" Yan Yu asked curiously.

"All of you stay." Yan Huaiwen said calmly: "Brother Tian can take care of your and Cheng Er's future and take care of miscellaneous matters, and Chen Meng and his sons can be your servants."

  Yan Yu: Are all of them left here?

Hiss! I can't think too deeply. If I think too deeply, those top people are so scary. These four people arranged it just right.

This is exactly what my eldest brother and brother-in-law lack.

  Otaku never underestimates anyone's IQ~

The official who fought against thousands of troops may have a pure nature and no low IQ~

I won't extend too much, because it's tiring to write like that, hahaha~

Today, my husband forgot to disconnect from the Internet. Hahaha, I am so happy (ˇˇ)
