The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 11
(Please collect, please recommend tickets!)

Sanwei Academy is indeed located in Nancheng, not far from the bamboo house Xie Jiaxin rented.

Taking Tolerance to the front of the academy, Xie Shen cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Tolerance."

If it is in a drama or film and television drama, now Xie Shen should take out a silver bean, or at worst a tael of silver or two treasure notes to deal with.But Xie's family is too poor, Xie Shen really has nothing to offer, so he can only praise the servants mentally.

Fortunately, the yamen servant didn't seem to be very angry, he just said calmly: "Young Master, please don't be too polite, this is the order of the Grand Master, so I dare not accept such a big gift from Young Master."

Xie Shen sighed in his heart that it is good to have someone to support him.I am just a boy student who has not passed the county examination, but since County Magistrate Wu used the title Xiansheng, even with these tolerances, he has respected himself. I feel a little embarrassed.

Xianggong is a respectful title for a scholar, not everyone can enjoy it.But since the mission has already been called, Xie Shen can't refuse.

The teaching of Confucius is called Kong De Dao. Although he is respected as the teaching teaching of the county school, he also opened the Sanwei Academy privately to earn some money.

This is not to say that Mr. Kong has an eye for money. He really has a big family to support, and the county school's salary is really not enough.

The knowledge to be able to teach in the county school is not bad.Kong Dedao was born as a Jinshi, two grades higher than Old Master Liu who was born as a scholar.

Of course, even in the county school, Kong Dedao seldom taught in person, and more often he was preached by the teacher under him.

This is why Kong Dedao has time to open a private academy. He is a big Buddha and does nothing, mainly accepting the admiration of students.

The servant took Xie Shen to the gate and left, and the young man was led into the mansion by the porter.Unlike Old Master Liu, the Sanwei Academy taught by Confucius did not open in his own house, but chose a separate small courtyard in the south of the city.

Although it seems that the scale of the school is a little smaller, the environment is very quiet.

"Young Master, please wait for a moment, and I will report to you."

The concierge's attitude was very respectful, which made Xie Shen feel good.

"Brother Lao is here."

Xie Shen looked around the courtyard for a week, and found that the Sanwei Academy is a little small but the layout is extremely exquisite.There are small bridges and flowing water, and there is no shortage of rockery pavilions.The whole garden has a strong sense of spatial dislocation, and the end is to achieve the ultimate in moving and changing scenes.

I have heard that in the Ming Dynasty, every household of the wealthy and famous gentry in the south of the Yangtze River had gardens, but when I saw Xie Shen today, I was amazed.

Not long after, the concierge retreated out and said respectfully, "Please come in, Mr. Young Master."

Xie Shen tidied up his clothes, took a deep breath and entered the main room of the academy.

The room is not big, more than half smaller than Old Master Liu's White Deer Academy.

Xie Shen took a cursory glance, and there were no more than twenty sets of tables and chairs in the room.

He didn't see the teaching of Confucius, but he didn't dare to sit down, so he stood with his hands tied and waited quietly.

It seems that today is not the day for the start of classes. Why are there no students who have entered the school?
While Xie Shen was feeling lost, he heard a light cough and turned around quickly.

"You are Xie Shen?"

The person who spoke was an old man in his sixties, his beard and hair were all gray, but his spirit was very grabbing.

"Student Xie Shen pays homage to Confucius."

Kong Dedao hummed, then waved his hands and said, "The county lord specially wrote a handwritten letter and sent someone to send it to the old man, saying that you are talented and intelligent, with extraordinary knowledge. Since the county lord personally recommended you, stay and study."

Xie Shen thought in his heart that this Confucian teaching was really gentle and kind.

Wonderful man, wonderful man also.

"Thank you sir."

Xie Shen immediately changed his words, and first confirmed the relationship between master and apprentice.

In this day and age, having a good master is as important as having a good father.Xie Shen came from a poor family, so he didn't have to choose his father, but fortunately, he hugged the thigh of the county school teacher, and the beginning wasn't too bad.

"Academy starts for [-] days a month, with a break of [-] days and a break of [-] days."

Kong De said in a calm manner, as if he was afraid that Xie Shen would not be able to hear clearly because of his nervousness.

Xie Shen secretly groaned in his heart.One rest per ten days is much stricter than Old Master Liu's rules.However, strictness has its advantages, and the time left for him is only two years.If you don't hurry up to study, it will be difficult for the county to try to win the case.

"I will live in the academy during the school period, and I can go home when I take a break from school."

Xie Shen was completely stunned. There was a boarding system in the Ming Dynasty?No, after all, his mental age is almost thirty, and it is really uncomfortable to be disciplined like a child.What's more, living in the academy will add another sum of money to the expenses.His family wasn't rich in the first place, so Xie Shen, the eldest brother Xie Fang, had to spend another sum of money, but Xie Shen couldn't say it.

Seeing Xie Shen's depressed face, Kong De said with a smile: "Why are you worried about Shu Xiu and academic qualifications? I won't hide it from you, the county lord has already sent someone to send the money to the old man."

No way, this county magistrate of Wu is really a good old man who cherishes talents, Xie Shen just made a not-so-amazing second line and got such care from his old man, which moved Xie Shen a little.

"Students have nothing to repay the kindness of the county lord!"

Kong Dedao shook his head and said: "The county lord hopes that my Yuyao students can study hard like you, and you should devote yourself to studying so as not to disappoint the county lord's expectations."

Compared with his academic qualifications, what made Xie Shen even more pleased was that he already had a place in the heart of County Magistrate Wu.As long as County Magistrate Wu remembered him and kept mentioning him, his situation would not be bad.What's more, Kong Jiaoyu seemed to appreciate him quite a bit. After getting rid of these two, he wouldn't be bullied in Yuyao City, let alone walking sideways.

"Today is a day off from school, and we will officially start school tomorrow. The old man will give you a vacation, so go back and tidy up."

Xie Shen only felt as if he was in a dream, and his situation changed drastically in just a few days.From an obscure kid from a poor family to a junior student who is favored by the county lord and praised by the teachings, it really depends on the fate of the world.

Routine, all of this is a routine.Although Xie Shen didn't want to admit it, the routine was indeed popular.It seems that interpersonal relationships are also very important in the Ming Dynasty, and office politics can be used everywhere.

"So the students leave first."

Xie Shen saluted and bid farewell to Confucius, hurried out of the academy, quickened his pace and returned to his bamboo building.

Sister-in-law Xie Chen was washing vegetables on the first floor of the bamboo building. Xie Shen held back for a long time and could no longer bear the joy in his heart, and said loudly: "Sister-in-law, Shen'er's money for repairing and the scholarship for staying at the college have been sent by the master." The people have been sent to Kong Jiaoyu, so there is no need for the eldest brother to raise money."

Xie Chen was taken aback, what a noble person the Eldest Master is, he would put down his figure for Shen'er's sake, and provide student aid.But she immediately understood that it must be Shen'er's talent and intelligence that made the old man happy.
