Chapter 85 Finding a new wife

Shan Xing heard the noise and knew that her husband was back, so she quickly lit the oil lamp and said, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Grandpa calling you over so late?"

"No, his grandpa just asked us to take some time to visit Brother Qian's house recently. Their brother and sister are not in good health, so let us go over, that is, go over and help."

Shan Xing breathed a sigh of relief and sat beside the kang with her husband, "I'll go with you. Anyway, A Miao's family also made a lot of money before. Besides, we are all relatives, Brother Qian." Mr. He Luo is a man, but he is worse at taking care of women after all."

"Okay, we'll go there early tomorrow morning."

Shan Xing nodded, but found that his man's expression was not right, "Why do you look so ugly? Is there something else you haven't told me?"

Shan Xing’s husband shook his head, “It’s nothing, go to bed early.”

Early the next morning, the couple finished their work in the house, said hello to their family, and went to Jiang Qian's yard hand in hand.

"Brother Qian."

Jiang Qian was reading in the yard. When he heard the voice, he was a little confused, "Amao, brothers and sisters, why are you here?"

"Why don't we finish the work in the fields? Grandpa asked me to come over and see if there is anything I can do to help you. Shan Xing came here to see Amiao."

Jiang Qian said with a smile: "You are interested, but Amiao is not at home. She and Mr. Luo went to the city."

The two of them had no suspicion when they heard it. When they saw that the yard at home was not cleaned, Shan Xing took the initiative to clean it. Jiang Qian felt embarrassed and was about to stop but was stopped by Shan Xing's husband.

"We can do this little work at Amao's house by ourselves, so we don't have to bother our siblings."

"It's no trouble. I just have something I want to tell you."

Jiang Qian frowned slightly, and then took the person to his room. Jiang Mao looked at this unique study and didn't know where to start. The room was very simple, with only a bed and a table, but the two The arrangement of books makes people unable to take their eyes away.

Jiang Mao also read when he was a child, but maybe he was not born with the material for reading. After two years of reading, he could recognize a few words before going home. Now think about it, if he had been willing to calm down and study, would he be able to read now? Will the result be different?

But then I thought about it, Uncle Wu is the one who manages the school. With his ability, he can teach very good students.

"If you want to read a book, I can lend it to you and take it back to read."

Jiang Mao waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, I'm not good at studying. I just ate the few words I knew before. I came to you on the orders of my great-grandfather. I want to I want you to help introduce a teacher to the village."

Jiang Qian was not surprised. The results of the county school examination were not satisfactory. The parents of several students had spent a lot of money for it. Now that they had not passed the examination, they were naturally dissatisfied. Uncle Jiang Wu moved to the town for this reason.

"Does the clan leader know about this?"

"Grandpa said that you should look for it first. The clan leader will agree. As for the fifth uncle, you don't have to worry. The grades of the students in the school have not been very good in the past few years. There have been complaints in the village. In this exam, even the next village Two students have been admitted, but none of them are in our village. If this continues, our Jiang family may really fall."

Jiang Qian is not stingy about helping the villagers find teachers. If he can really teach a few smart people in the future, it will be helpful in the future. "I know a few gentlemen who have good character and knowledge. I can write to them later and ask them." Speaking of this, Jiang Qian remembered what Luo Tingye told him about this fall exam, "Speaking of this county school exam, I heard a rumor about Uncle Wu."

"What can happen to Uncle Wu?" Although Uncle Jiang is in charge of the school, his reputation in the village is not very good. Jiang Mao was beaten many times when he was studying. Once, his hands were swollen for a month. He still has Remember.

Just a few days before the exam, Uncle Jiang took several students from the village to live in the county town. It was originally to be nearby to facilitate the exam. Unexpectedly, he actually contacted the examiner in charge of the exam in private and even obtained some information from him. I bought a test paper.

After coming back, I asked the students to study. I thought I could get a good name in the exam, but I didn't expect that the exam questions were completely different from those on the test paper.

Speaking of this, Jiang Qian added a bit of regret in his words, "I have tested the level of the students in the school before, so not all of them failed the test. There may be other reasons that are unknown."

The students of the academy are the future of the Jiang clan. Every year, the entire Jiang clan invests the most in the academy, no less than every year-end ancestor worship.

With such high investment, not only the knowledge of the students they teach is worrying, but their character is also worrying. The Jiang family may really have no future.

Jiang Mao doesn't have any children yet, but whenever he thinks that his future children will have to learn from his fifth uncle, he feels that there is little hope. When he returns home, he informs his ninth uncle about the matter.

Uncle Jiu was originally thinking about how to calmly talk to Uncle Jiang about this matter. After learning about this, he immediately couldn't sit still and went to Village Chief Jiang to ask him to find a reliable teacher for the Jiang clan's school no matter what. .

Although Village Chief Jiang was a little unclear at times, he was still sensible about the future of the students in the official school. Soon he found Jiang Qian and asked him to find a gentleman for the village.

Jiang Qian agreed immediately.

Unexpectedly, two days later, a large number of people came to the village and came to harvest the fields noisily.

The entire Hebend Village was alarmed.

It happened that Jiang Miao came back to reunite with her brother. When she learned about this, she came over to join in the fun.

Soon he saw Shan Xing's sister-in-law in the crowd and greeted her warmly. Shan Xing greeted her mother-in-law and walked cautiously in the direction of Jiang Miao.

She felt as if there was a gaze staring at her, but before she could react, someone tripped under her feet and she fell towards Jiang Miao.

Jiang Miao's body is still very weak now. If she is hit by her, she doesn't know whether it will affect her condition.

Luo Tingye protected Jiang Miao with one hand and kept her away to avoid being hit.

Fortunately, someone saw this and gave Shan Xing a hand so that she wouldn't fall. She looked back and saw that they were all from the same village. Who tripped her?
"Sister-in-law Shan Xing, are you okay?"

Shan Xiao shook his head slightly, "It's okay. Your elder brother said that you have been recuperating and not seeing people. Why do you have time to come out today?"

Jiang Miao spoke vaguely, "My illness is almost healed, but my eldest brother wanted to take this opportunity to teach me how to read, so he trapped me in the house all day. I was so idle that I almost got moldy. Sister-in-law, Who are these people?"
