A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

Chapter 145 Treating good intentions as donkey liver and lungs

The white-haired old man's surname was Zhan. When he was young, he also passed the Jinshi examination and served as an official in the court. Later, because he couldn't see the darkness of officialdom, he resigned and returned to his hometown of Baishui County. At that time, the mountain chief of Bailu Academy, Xicai, entered Bailu Academy became a master and taught and educated people from then on.

He also produced a number of young students, scholars and successful candidates under his command, so Master Zhan was highly respected in Bailu Academy.

Later, when he got older, the mountain chief was afraid that Master Zhan would overwork himself, so he persuaded him to open a bookstore at the entrance of the academy with the same name as Bailu Academy.

Many students see the official bookstore with the same name as the college and basically come to Master Zhan to buy books.

However, since the old mountain leader also resigned last year, the new mountain leader arranged his own power not long after he took office. He also did not allow Mr. Zhan to use the name of Bailu Bookstore anymore, and even asked the college students to go to the bookstore designated by the new mountain leader to purchase. It was difficult for Mr. Zhan to make a living, so he decided to close his shop and return to his hometown.

After Master Zhan finished speaking, he smiled bitterly.

Chen Changsheng didn't know what to say to comfort the old man, but Chen Dafu said angrily, "Then the mountain chief has gone too far. Isn't there anything we can do?"

"The new mountain leader must be someone with good background."

Master Zhan said, "The woman's guess is good. The mountain chief is from Jiangzhou Prefecture. I heard that he has some connections with people from the government office. I am getting older and am planning to return..."

"Master Zhan!" A familiar voice came from outside the door.

Chen Changsheng and Chen Dafu looked back and saw that the person speaking was actually Liang Shaoqin.

Liang Shaoqin took a few steps with his long legs and walked up to Master Zhan, "Master, why are you talking about resigning and returning to your hometown again? Master is still young, and I haven't learned enough from you yet.

I went to the academy these days, and I heard from my classmates that the chief only likes dignitaries and high-ranking families. He ignores anyone who is a little bit less senior. The students are full of complaints about him, and everyone misses him very much. Where are you, the former mountain chief and my master?

If the mountain leader comes to drive you away again, I will gather my classmates to make trouble together and I will definitely bring down the mountain leader. "

Master Zhan hurriedly advised, "Young man, don't say angry words, let alone do stupid things. You have all studied with me for a few years, and you will take the scholar examination in two years, but don't make trouble, otherwise you will be expelled from the academy. , that’s no small matter.”

If the academy is allowed to have no one to guarantee its reputation, it will not be able to pass the examination for scholars, and all the years of studying will be in vain.

If this situation is really caused, Master Zhan will be a sinner through the ages.

"Master, don't talk about retiring and returning to your hometown. If you leave, we will never meet a good gentleman like you again." Liang Shaoqin said with a painful look on his face.

Master Zhan sighed.

Neither of them spoke.

After a moment of silence, Liang Shaoqin noticed Chen Changsheng beside him, "Aunt Chen, why are you here? Are you here to buy books too?"

His first reaction was, has that boy Chen Erlu started to read and study?

Speaking of Chen Erlu, Liang Shaoqin felt a trace of jealousy in his heart. That boy was loved by his mother. Not only did he have new clothes to wear, Aunt Chen also came to buy him books in person.

"I'm here to buy a woodworking album, but I'm not buying it for Dafu Erlu and the others."

Master Zhan learned from the conversation between the two that the woman in front of him knew Liang Shaoqin.

Chen Dafu was already driving the bullock cart outside, and Chen Changsheng was about to go out. Before leaving, she suddenly turned around and said, "Master Zhan likes to teach and educate people, and he is deeply loved by students. Why not set up an academy of his own? It's not easy to establish one." A private school or school is also fine."

As soon as these words came out, both Master Zhan and Liang Shaoqin suddenly opened their eyes.

Establish your own academy?

They never thought about it.

A slight look of surprise flashed in Master Zhan's eyes, and he couldn't help but wonder, "Can one do it alone?"

"How can you know if you don't try it? Mr. Liang just said that the students in the academy are complaining about the mountain leader. If you set up a school or private school by yourself, I believe that based on your reputation, you will have many students. Come here because of its reputation.

I also have four children at home. If my husband goes to a private school in the city, I will be the first to sign up. "

After Chen Changsheng finished speaking, he smiled, leaving Master Zhan and Liang Shaoqin stunned.

Is it really possible to establish an academy?

Chen Changsheng, mother and son each ate two steamed buns for lunch, then separately bought some things and headed to the village.

As soon as she arrived at the village entrance, she met women who asked her to buy chickens and ducks.

"Dafu Niang is back from the city. Can you help me buy chickens and ducks?" Aunt Zhou asked politely.

Chen Changsheng gave the other party all the chickens and ducks he asked for and took the money.

"Ms. Dafu, these chickens and ducks you bought look really good. They are very lively. I also went to the city to buy a few. They fell ill a few days after I bought them. They looked like they were about to die. But It makes me sad."

"That is to say, I would say that Dafu Niang is reliable, and the things she buys are good and cost-effective."

"That's right, chickens cost five cents, and ducks cost six cents. The quality of each is so good. If we go there by ourselves, we might not be able to meet the chicken and duck seller. Then the trip will be in vain. It’s a waste of money on the bus.”

"..."

Everyone praised him.

Chen Changsheng received these compliments. This was the blessing she deserved and the difference she deserved to earn.

While we were enjoying it, we heard the sour voice of the second sister-in-law, "No, these chickens and ducks are so small and cost five or six cents. Could it be that Sister-in-law Chen stole our money from the middle?"

The second wife's sister-in-law took her two children back to her parents' house for a few days. After crying and complaining about her husband, she came back obediently.

She knew that her man was a lazy man and would definitely not do the work in the fields. If he didn't come back, the weeds in the fields would soon grow taller than a person.

Just after returning to the village, the neighbors bought chickens and ducks. They said there were locusts in the fields. After buying the chickens and ducks, they rushed to eat the locusts. The second sister-in-law also hurriedly gave Chen Changsheng the few money she brought back from her parents' home. Bring back some chickens and ducks.

But seeing that Chen Changsheng bought chickens and ducks for so many people, the second wife's sister-in-law made a random guess. If one chicken or duck made a penny from it, wouldn't these hundreds of chickens be worth hundreds of pence?

She was jealous.

When Chen Changsheng heard this, he sneered and immediately took back the thirty dozen chickens and ducks he had just given to his second sister-in-law, "I see that second sister-in-law is from the same village, so I am kind enough to bring you chickens and ducks. You are guessing about me and making up random things about me.

Since you, second wife, look down on the things I bring so much, then just give them back to me. Anyway, there will be a lot of people queuing up to ask for them. No matter how bad it is, if I raise them at home, I can still eat a few eggs and duck eggs every day for a while. "

"That's right! Dafu Niang is so kind to bring you something, but you still don't appreciate it. You really treat your kindness like a donkey's liver and lungs."

"Dafu Niang is a person who can donate more than twenty-eight taels of silver. How can she hack your money? I don't believe it."

"Second sister-in-law, if you don't want them, just give them to me. My mother-in-law's family came to see me today. I'll take some back to them."

An aunt quickly paid and took over the chickens and ducks.

The second wife's face turned blue and white with anger as she watched all the chickens and ducks that belonged to her being snatched away in minutes.
