After the rebirth, the cannon fodder left the plot

Chapter 36 Want to read or not?
Gu Jin thinks about it too, no matter how difficult it is, he will never be sad. When he first came here, he didn't even have a house at that time, but now he still has a house to live in.

The entanglement was gone, and Gu Jin just nestled softly in Shen Jingcheng's arms, holding the paper full of words and carefully checking to see if there was anything else that needed to be added.

It was at this time that Jiang Zhengshu came. The literati used to make him very disciplined. Even if he saw the door was open, he didn't go in casually, but stood in the yard and asked loudly.

"Is Chief Shen at home?"

Hearing the voice of inquiry, Gu Jin quickly got up from Shen Jingcheng's arms, and Shen Jingcheng also straightened his clothes and went down to the kang to meet him.

Shen Jingcheng walked out of the house, saw Jiang Zhengshu standing in the courtyard somewhat cramped, and asked, "Uncle Jiang, what's the matter?"

"I, I..." Jiang Zhengshu couldn't speak.

"Let's talk in the room."

Shen Jingcheng saw that he hesitated and couldn't express his intentions, and it was impossible to stand with him in the yard all the time, so he took the lead and walked into the house.

Gu Jin was leaning over, leaning his arms on the kang table to look at the plan, and when he saw Shen Jingcheng bringing someone in, he immediately sat upright and checked himself for any disrespect.

Seeing her like this, Shen Jingcheng suddenly realized that she had grown up and could no longer bring people in and out of this room at will, and it seemed that she would have to get a room for entertaining guests in the future.

But now that Jiang Zhengshu had entered the house, he could no longer let people out, so he brought Jiang Zhengshu to the table by the west wall and asked him to sit down together.

When Jiang Zhengshu entered the room, he saw the little girl who had rescued him sitting on the kang and nodded politely to him, and quickly nodded in response. Under Shen Jingcheng's leadership, he sat down restrainedly on the chair, nervously stiff all over.

Shen Jingcheng was not in a hurry when he saw this, he took a clean bowl, poured water and put it on the table next to him, quietly waiting for him to speak.

Although Jiang Zhengshu didn't have much contact with Shen Jingcheng, he knew that this person was very dull, he didn't know how to deal with people, he didn't understand human relations, he didn't know much about farming, he didn't know much about crops, and his body was very weak. In embroidery, it is extremely slow.

But this person has one advantage, that is, he is honest, serious, and eager to learn. No matter what you say to him, he will listen very carefully and learn very seriously.

At least Jiang Zhengshu, who couldn't tell the difference between weeds and millets when he first came, now knows the difference between the two.

Jiang Zhengshu sat upright, opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound, tried to raise his breath but still couldn't speak, and after a while, sweat broke out on his nervous forehead, and even his breathing became disordered.

Seeing that he was so nervous, Gu Jin looked at Shen Jingcheng suspiciously.

Shen Jingcheng shrugged.

He didn't know what the old man was nervous about, and he didn't say anything.

Time slipped away little by little, probably because no one urged him, Jiang Zhengshu gradually calmed down.After a long time, he puffed up again, and finally asked, "Well, I think, ask, you, do you want to study?"

? ?
Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng looked at each other, not understanding what he meant.

The most difficult words to utter have already begun, and Jiang Zhengshu's next words are relatively fluent.

"I used to be a teacher. I have taught books for many years. I think you are all literate, but you don't seem to be very good at writing. For example, the word 'Jiang' in my name is wrong. You should write three points of water first. , write again..." Jiang Zhengshu dipped his finger in the bowl of water that Shen Jingcheng poured, and began to demonstrate writing on the table.

Shen Jingcheng looked at Jiang Zhengshu who was demonstrating the correct way of writing, his eyes narrowed slightly.

How did he know that he was writing wrongly?
Then he suddenly remembered that when Jiang Zhengshu first came, he recorded his hometown in front of Jiang Zhengshu, and his tense heart relaxed again.

Gu Jin didn't know how Jiang Zhengshu was written, so he slipped down the kang and came to the table curiously. Seeing that the words he wrote on the table were correct, much better than those written by himself and Shen Jingcheng, his eyes suddenly became a little envious.

If only I could write words like this myself.

Seeing that her eyes were filled with amazement, Shen Jingcheng stretched out his hand and pulled her to his side, and asked Jiang Zhengshu, "Are there any students you teach who have passed the exam?"

"Yes, yes." Jiang Zhengshu nodded repeatedly, fearing that Shen Jingcheng would dislike him for being useless, he hurriedly said: "Six out of ten students I teach can pass the entrance examination as a child student, and five or six out of ten students are talented. At most, there are only two or three out of ten, and there are fewer Jinshi, only one or two out of ten."

When it came to the end, Jiang Zhengshu became a little apprehensive.

In fact, among his students, there should be more people who can pass the examinations of scholars and Jinshi, but in the end, those people think that he is not good at dealing with people, and they can't find more ways out from him. At the final stage, they will find other gentlemen Go, if you add those people, his students are really talented.

Shen Jingcheng was puzzled when he heard the words. People who have not read the book may not understand how rare and precious the probability Jiang Zhengshu said, but Shen Jingcheng, who has done it all over again, knows what it means.

"Since the teacher is so good at teaching, why did he fall to such a point?" Shen Jingcheng asked.

A teacher like him, no matter where he goes, someone will grab him, right?Why did you end up here alone?
When Jiang Zhengshu heard the words, he lowered his eyes and stopped talking, his bony figure showed an indescribable sadness and sadness, as if he didn't want to answer this question.

Shen Jingcheng and Gu Jin looked at each other, pulled her to the edge of the kang, a little far away from Jiang Zhengshu and whispered to her: "This man sounds like a good teacher, let him try?"

After several years of repeated pushbacks by Shen Jingcheng, Gu Jin thought that he didn't want to study, and said softly: "If you don't want to study, you don't have to, don't force it."

"Who said I don't want to study?" Shen Jingcheng looked into her clear eyes, lowered his eyes and smiled, "I'm willing, but I haven't met a good gentleman, so I don't want to settle down."

Seeing what he said, Gu Jin asked hesitantly, "Then... let's try?"

The voices of the two were so low that Jiang Zhengshu, who was sitting on the chair, couldn't hear what they were saying at all, and kept tightening his hands nervously on his knees.

After the autumn harvest, every household in the West Village had a harvest of two mu of land, but he came too late, and it was already past the season for plowing autumn grain, so he didn't have any harvest at all. After that, he has been hungry for two days.

But apart from teaching, he has no other skills, and even if the people in Xicun are better than him, they are not much better, Shen Jingcheng is the only one who can make him earn a living.

If Shen Jingcheng didn't want to use him, he didn't know how to survive this winter.

Just when Jiang Zhengshu was feeling uneasy, he suddenly heard Shen Jingcheng's questioning voice: "How much Shuxiu do you want?"

Jiang Zhengshu was taken aback when he heard it, and after realizing it, he hurriedly said in surprise, "Don't ask Shuxiu, just let me eat."

He was afraid that he would ask for too much, and he would lose the chance to have a meal.

"Then how?" Shen Jingcheng said with disapproval on his face: "Do you think this is okay? In addition to taking care of food, I will take care of your clothes every season. I think you will be alone when you are older. If you want, I will take care of you." My wife can take care of your retirement, but if you don’t want us to take care of your retirement, how about giving you two taels of silver every year?”

He came up with the idea of ​​pension, not because he didn't have the slightest precaution against Jiang Zhengshu, but judging from the performance of this person who came to the West Village, he was really not threatening, and a good teacher was very rare. Not to be desired, if this person's ability to teach is as he said, then the advantages of keeping Jiang Zhengshu will definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

And if you want to really keep someone, you have to throw out what they most desire.

Just imagine an old man who is alone, what does he want most?

The aftermath is definitely on the list.
