Chapter 1106 Changping County Lord 54
Well, work harder, after all, he is a Confucian scholar, so he can't say yes immediately like aunt and aunt.

Xi Ning picked up the round fan and shook it, understanding it with reason and emotion: "Mr. Huang also takes care of Mr. Zhong in his daily life. As the saying goes, he is a teacher for one day and a father for life, which really makes the county take the initiative. It seems Mr. Zhong is not young anymore, Mr. Huang must pay more attention to whether there are suitable ones, otherwise, once the age is over, it will be delayed. Otherwise, Mr. Zhong will be the teacher of the righteous school."

He turned his head and ordered: "Come here! Bring up the prepared things."

A small box was placed on the pallet, the box was opened, and there was silver in it, and it was brought to the yellow handle.

"This is..." Huang Bi looked at the silver in the box, and then at the county magistrate.

Xi Ning said slowly: "I've heard about Huang Confucianism for a long time, and I also like Mr. Zhong's paintings. Here is 200 taels of brush fee. I beg Mr. Huang and Mr. Zhong to create a painting together. Mr. Huang must agree!"

Huang Bing was troubled, Miss Wang had seen it before, and it was very good, Zhong Shuo, the wood, talked about paintings, and Miss Wang was not bored at all, but commented from time to time. .

But it's only 200 taels of silver, how can you marry this one with a dowry of 5000 taels?

Xining smiled and said meaningfully: "Miss Wang's uncle, Mr. Deng is still in the Yuelai Inn in the county. I will write a letter of appointment to hire Mr. Zhong as Mr. Yixue. Please take it to Mr. Huang. Show him. Tell him that he should know what I want when he sees this letter of appointment."

Huang Bing's eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately bowed: "Then Huang will be disrespected, and I would like to paint for the county magistrate together with the fool!"

Xining smiled: "It must be the icing on the cake and draw a beautiful full moon."

After all, Zhong Shuo was a scholar, and with Huang Bi's recommendation, he would definitely be promising in the future.There is also the county lord's secret approval, coupled with the previous mess, Master Deng will definitely go to the palace with him to propose marriage.At that time, Master Wang has no choice but to agree!
Huang Bing went back to the study, took the money and the letter of appointment, and dragged Zhong Shuo to the Yuelai Inn to look for Mr. Deng.

As soon as Mr. Deng saw the letter of appointment, he agreed after thinking about it.Huang Bing strikes while the iron is hot, finds a matchmaker, and asks the matchmaker and Mr. Deng to go to the palace to propose marriage.

Master Deng was really awesome, blowing his beard and staring: "Is 200 taels a small gift? You only had 200 taels when you married my younger sister! No matter how much money you have, you will marry my niece as a dowry in the future."

Master Wang was almost bored to death, so he had no choice but to agree, so the birthdays were swapped on the spot.

I found a fortune teller for a test, and the horoscopes match.

On the third day, Zhong Shuo came to the house with the dowry.Even in a hurry, the three letters and six rituals cannot be missed.In addition to 200 taels of silver, there are all kinds of compradors who follow the rules, even live geese.

Where does the comprador get his money?Of course, it was the teaching money given by the county lord for Yi Xue, and he actually gave it all for a year in one go.For this reason, Huang Bi even gave Zhong Shuo 50 taels.After all, the county lord gave Zhong Shuo the money because of Zhong Shuo's face, so he should give some.After all, both of Zhong Shuo's parents died, and he also treated Zhong Shuo as his adopted son in the past two years.

As soon as he saw the given few days, Master Wang immediately stared: "Get married next month?"

Mr. Deng is also very powerful: "My mother, Mrs. Deng, is old. Let her see the granddaughter she cares most about getting married. You have done your filial piety, and you have not let down my poor little sister."

Once filial piety was involved in this matter, and the grass on the grave was the height of a person's dead wife, Master Wang didn't even have the energy to argue.

At that time, the fortune teller rolled his eyes and immediately understood the meaning.He read his beard and said that there will be many good days next month, and it will be August for a few days.Mrs. Huang, who was busy with this, even gave the fortune teller an extra penny.

The day was chosen after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now that the dust has settled, they are waiting for the time to welcome their relatives and get married.

And in the county town, there were even greater fluctuations...

At the intersection, paste it on this paper.A group of people gathered around to watch.

"What's written on it?"

"Go and ask the gentleman who wrote the letter to come and read it."

Most people in this era do not have the opportunity to study, and they need to pay tuition fees to go to school, which is a lot of money.And there are no imperial examinations, they are all recommended.Therefore, among ordinary people, few can read.

The gentleman who writes letters for others came over and looked at the paper.

The person next to him was anxious and urged: "Sir, tell me, what is written on it!"

"No hurry, no hurry~" Mr. stroked his goatee and squinted his eyes: "This word is really well written..."

"Who told you to read the words? What is the writing?" The people around were itchy, almost scratching their heads.

"It says that the county is mainly running a free school." Amidst the exclamation, the gentleman shook his head and read: "Anyone who is five to twenty years old can sit in on it. The three best candidates will be evaluated every month and will be rewarded with pen and ink slips." ..."

Soon it spread throughout the entire county, people talked about it when they had time, after dinner, and even when they were restless.

Especially when eating with a bowl, it is often the husband and wife talking.

"Father, why don't you ask my dog ​​to listen to it too."

"What nonsense are you talking about, you're almost out of food, and you're going to class in rags?"

"It's all written. Clothes can be torn but must be washed. Men and women are not restricted. I want to go to class to learn how to read!"

"It's just you? Calm down, you go to the class, who will do this job? Let Gouzi listen to it, and it's good to know two words."

The speed was also fast. Three days later, a layer of tarpaulin was drawn over the dead end where the horses were parked.There is a mat and copybook in the innermost part.

When the time came in the morning, a group of children ran happily.

There are house slaves at the entrance of the alley. After checking the clothes, hands and faces of these children one by one, they put them in.A house slave inside directed the children to sit on the straw mats spread on the ground in order.

When people were almost ready, Zhong Shuo came out, sat on the teacher's seat, and began to teach.

The bamboo slips with written characters are passed around in turn, and people passing by outside can often hear the sound of children reading inside.

After the children have finished learning, the eager to learn will take a stick and write on the ground: "This is Tianzi, and this is Shanzi."

This made adults who may not know a single big character very happy, and even said that reading is good.

"Master, please use it!" A cup of tea was brought.Jing'er murmured secretly, is this kind of hot water that is used to make tea directly delicious?
Xi Ning quickly took it, blew on the tea leaves that were still floating on it, and took a sip... Well, not bad, although there is still a gap, but at least you can drink it.This one is so much better than those salted matcha powder soups.

I drank half of it and went to refill the water.Xi Ning leaned on the soft pillow contentedly, listening to the singer beside her, picked up the list of goods purchased this time, and looked at it. A combination of work and rest, bitterness and joy, this is life.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Miss Wang is going to get married!
Naturally, Xining will be present as a guest of honor, and she is quite interested. The customs and habits of each era and plane are different, just take a look here.
