Nongmen ruffian concubine: ploughing the fields, planting buns

Chapter 307
"I'm ashamed. Ding Shi was playful when he was young, and he was often scolded by his master when he was reciting books, and he would be praised by his master when he was drawing a bow and shooting arrows."

Ding Shitou immediately explained with a "ashamed" face, only pretending that he didn't know Xia Xiaoxiu was finding fault, and his expression was very innocent.

The third scholar of the Xia family, the purpose of finding her today is of course to fight for words, to make her look ugly, and to let so many guests know that she is not qualified to teach in a school.

Why should she show off on other people's strengths?
If she can't fight, what she loses is the face of her, Nancheng Village, and Jiujiu School. If she wins the fight, what face will there be for the three scholars of the Xia family?When someone is in the limelight, if you give him a blow, you will become a deadly enemy in the future.

Therefore, she has always adopted a defensive strategy. As long as she does not lose her dignity, why not give in two steps?
Unexpectedly, the Xia family played another game of civil and military fighting, which can be said to be a gift for her.

She immediately chose the archery event. If she lost, she would be considered weak, but if she won, she would only practice archery since she was a child.

The most important thing is that Xia Xiaoxiucai's complaints were taken as a stepping stone by her, and she had the opportunity to explain that she was good at martial arts and not good at writing, so she could avoid her edge.

She said clearly that the liberal arts is not good, and asked her to recite poems and do something right, didn't she just make her ugly.

Xia Xiaoxiucai originally complained about Ding Shitou and wanted to take advantage of the situation to pull him to the side of poetry reciting, but he didn't expect the other party to block him so quickly, what should he say next?
"Hehe, since Mrs. Ding is not good at learning, why did he dare to start a private school? It really made the late students very curious." Xia Daxiu spoke at the right time, and was stunned to help his younger brother follow up on the previous words.

"According to the times." Ding Shitou explained with a smile, "Nancheng Village has many children who have reached school age and have no money to enlighten them, and Ding Shi happens to know a few words and has a place at home. It is God's will to follow the trend."

The father and son of the Xia family all sank their faces, because Ding Shitou's words had something mysterious in them.

"That's right, it's hard to produce scholars in the farms. Even if I, the third scholar of the Xia family, is willing to take charge of the school, I have limited spare power after all. It is impossible to gather and enlighten the schoolchildren in so many villages."

"Now it's a good thing to have you share one or two from Jiujiu School." Old scholar Xia looked at Ding Shitou with a majestic expression.

"It's just that the old man still advises you, young people, don't just focus on making money, you still have to be responsible for accepting schoolchildren. Don't lose the virtue of being a teacher."

"What the old master said is very true. Ding Shi must keep it in mind, and pick up the books when he goes back. Maybe he will go to the exam in three or five years, so that I will not mislead my children by studying in Jiujiu School."

Ding Shitou smiled lightly and bowed to the old scholar Xia, with a very humble attitude.

Old Xiucai Xia looked at her, moved his lips and finally closed them.

He wanted to test it out, but he was afraid that this unexpected young man would show his charm and leave a good name in ten miles and eight villages.

He will not do things that are cheap for others.

"You can listen to the words of the elders, and you are also a polite person. Come to the table and drink." After a little hesitation, the old scholar smiled and gave up the idea of ​​competing.

"Today, old master Huashou, I would like to borrow some wine to pay my respects. I wish the old master a blessing like the East China Sea and a longevity like the South Mountain."

Ding Shitou saw that Xia's old scholar softened his attitude, and hurried back to his table to bring the wine glass, and toasted loudly at the other table.

Even if the other party wants to suspend the army, of course she would be better off doing one thing more than one thing less. On the basis of not infringing on her own interests, all harmony will make money.

Old scholar Xia raised his arm towards Ding Shitou with his wine glass, and took a sip meaningfully.

Ding Shitou poured another glass of wine, respected brothers Xia Daxiucai and Xia Xiaoxiucai, and wished them high school success in the local examination.

Only then did the Xiucai brothers show a slight smile, and happily returned a cup.
