The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 672
[Chapter 672 Thank you to the Marquis of Xin’an]
the Marquis of Xin’an. Fang Xiu walked out of the Nuan Pavilion, thought about it, and ran straight to Baolefang.
In front of the gate of Baolefang, there are still many people who come here to see whether the content on the notice is true or false.
That’s understandable.
After all, it’s only one tael of silver a month.
Some people even shouted: “Shopkeeper Wang, do you think a twenty-one-year-old girl can still study in the academy?”
Every time he met someone like this, Wang Baole would give him a merciless look.
In addition, after the academy opened, many people came to register with their boys.
This was something Wang Baole never expected.
After all, they have to pay one tael of silver to study in the academy, which is enough for them to attend a better private school.
There is no need to come to this academy.
Although he was curious, he did not refuse.
As long as they comply with the regulations and pay money, all the records will be recorded.
In just half a day, a booklet was filled.
At this time, a boy next to him came up to him and whispered: “Shopkeeper, the young master is here.” When
Wang Baole heard this, he hurriedly put away the pamphlet and walked back.
“What did the young master say?”
“No.”
Wang Baole nodded and began to think in his heart.
What is the reason why the young master came here at this time?
It’s most likely because of the women’s imperial examination?
With this thought in mind, he had already taken out the booklet.
When I walked to the backyard, I saw the young master sitting on the master’s chair, sipping tea.
He hurriedly approached and whispered: “Master, the younger one is here.”
Fang Xiu heard Wang Baole’s voice, raised his eyes, glanced at him, and asked, “How are things going in the academy?”
Wang Baole was worried. Dao, it is indeed because of this. He
hurriedly handed over the book and said respectfully: “Master, these are the people who signed up today.”
Fang Xiu reached out to take the book, took a look, looked curious, and asked, “How come there are so many boys? “
?”
Wang Baole nodded and said, “Yes, Master.”
The more Fang Xiu looked, the more he frowned.
He originally thought it might be difficult to run an academy.
It was rare for anyone to sign up, but when he saw this booklet, he realized he was wrong.
How wrong it is.
For many ordinary people in the capital, one tael of silver is really too important.
Even though many people are actually unwilling to send their children to an academy to study, they still resolutely choose to sign up because of a few dollars.
This resulted in this result.
All in all, with so many people signing up in just one day, the academy can never accommodate so many people.
After hesitating for a while, Fang Xiu finally made a decision and said: “We will recruit so many students for this period first, and tear up the notice later.
You should know better than me about the specific details.”
Wang Baole heard this After saying that, he hurriedly responded: “Don’t worry, young master, I will definitely take care of it for you!”
Fang Xiu nodded, took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Wang Baole, and ordered: “Starting today, how many people will be sent to you ?”
Everyone, just do what is written on it.”
Wang Baole reached out and took the piece of paper, looked at it carefully, and then his expression became a little strange.
He raised his eyes, looked at the young master, and asked curiously: “Master, why are you doing this?”
Fang Xiu said calmly: “No need to ask, just do as you are told.”
Wang Baole hesitated for a moment, and then said: “Yes, Master, I must have done everything properly
. But if this news is really announced, I’m afraid our Liulicang business will be much worse than before.”
Fang Xiu raised his eyes, glanced at him, and said leisurely: ” This young master is not short of money.”
After receiving this answer, Wang Baole was completely relieved and said, “I understand.”
Fang Xiu waved his hand and stood up and said, “This young master wants to go to the academy to see what’s going on here.” I’ll leave this matter to you.”
“Yes, Master!”
Wang Baole bowed hurriedly: “Master, go slowly.”
During this period, Fang Xiu has been running back and forth between Nuange and Baolefang, and many things have happened. It was handed over to Wang Baole.
Wang Baole has become the third most important figure in the Fang Mansion, and his status has also risen, so naturally he is extremely happy.
Fang Xiu walked out of Baolefang and walked towards Fang Xiu Academy of Arts and Sciences, which was only separated by a wall.
At this moment, it was almost dusk.
The sound of reading resounded loudly in the academy.
Fang Xiu listened to the sound of reading, looked at the four characters of “Arts and Science Academy” with dragons and phoenixes dancing in the sky, and faced the rays of light. He always felt that he saw hope for the future.
He is actually not a hypocritical person.
But it feels so real.
Fang Xiu shook his head, not thinking about all this mess, and walked straight into the house.
In the room, more than a dozen children were reading word by word along with the gentleman.
Most of these children are from ordinary families. Before coming to the academy, not many were literate, let alone reading.
At this time, I was just studying with my husband.
The teacher reads one sentence, and the children read another sentence.
After Fang Xiu arrived inside the house, the sound of reading stopped abruptly.
When the gentleman saw Fang Xiu, he hurriedly put down the book in his hand, walked in front of Fang Xiu, bowed and said, “Marquis of Xin’an, you are here.”
Fang Xiu actually didn’t have a good impression of these gentlemen who taught the Four Books and Five Classics.
But there is no good solution.
Scholars pay attention to what is noble.
I am holding on, and I am not willing to ask for the money to be this storyteller.
Therefore, those who are willing to come are naturally a little more philistine.
Of course, in this liberal arts academy, the Four Books and Five Classics are just incidental basic courses and are not the focus. It is no big deal to let these people teach them.
Fang Xiu waved his hand and said casually: “Continue studying and don’t worry about me.”
“Yes, Marquis Xin’an!”
The gentleman walked back to the stage, looked at the children, with a warm smile on his face, and said, “This one is The food
you
eat, the books you read, and the money you give to your parents all belong to Marquis Xin’an
when they hear this .
Fang Xiu frowned, thought for a while, and said, “The food you eat and the money your parents have are all earned by you studying hard. Keep studying.” When
the children heard this, they beamed.
A child said loudly: “The Marquis of Xin’an is so handsome!”
“This is the first time I heard of someone with the surname Xin!”
“Does the Marquis of Xin’an’s family have a lot of money?”
“My dad said, when you get to the academy, see you When you come to Xin’an Marquis, you must thank him properly. Xin’an Marquis, are you the Xin’an Marquis that my father said?”
Fang Xiu smiled when he heard these words and said, “Xin’an Marquis is just a title. My surname is Fang, my first name is Fang. “Xiu, I am your honorary dean.
My family’s money is not much different from yours.
As for the Marquis of Xin’an that your father mentioned, it should be me.” “Then
Marquis
of Xin’an, thank you!”
Listening to the child’s simple words, I felt warm in my heart, and said with a smile: “You study hard, and I will be the one to thank you next year.”
