In the past three years, Ruan Ning'an has been to many places and experienced many things. His vision has become more and more broad, and his mind has also become more and more broad.

In the past, he wanted to pass the imperial examination.

But what is the purpose of passing the imperial examination?

Be an official?

No, he doesn't like it. He just simply likes reading, likes studying the minds of those saints, and likes exploring.

After traveling to so many places, he finally figured out what he wanted to do.

At the beginning of the year, when he passed by this village, he was infected by the strong reading atmosphere here.

But this is not a town after all, and without good teachers, the talents of many children are buried.

So even though people in the village value reading, they haven't produced any better talents.

He settled down here and became a teacher.

Not long after Tiedan left, a neat-looking girl in a coarse cloth skirt came in carrying a basket.

Seeing the handsome young man on the stone bench, her eyelashes suddenly trembled, and she lowered her eyes, trying to hide the throbbing in her heart in panic.

When her heartbeat slowed down, she straightened her posture, slowed down her pace, walked over gracefully, and said softly in a gentle voice, "Master Ruan."

Ruan Ning'an put down the teacup, looked up, saw the basket on her arm, and sighed softly.

"Miss Chen."

The woman couldn't help but tighten her grip on the basket, trying to suppress the tension in her heart. She didn't dare to look at the fairy-like person opposite her, and lowered her head and said:

"Master Ruan, my brother tells me every day that you taught him a lot. This is a small gift from us, I hope you can accept it."

When Master Ruan came, he didn't ask for any tuition, so he had to be given something.

"List……"

Just as Ruan Ning'an was about to refuse, the woman put the things on the stone table in the yard and ran away in a hurry.

He looked at the things on the table and sighed softly.

After a while, Mu Dong, who had been serving Ruan Ning'an, walked in from outside with a bundle of firewood on his back.

When Ruan Ning'an traveled, he only brought Mu Dong, who grew up with him.

After moving into the village, they hired a village woman to prepare their three meals a day. After cooking, the woman would go back.

Mudong is responsible for collecting firewood and feeding the horses every day.

He put the firewood on his back into the woodshed, turned around and walked towards Ruan Ning'an, and saw the basket on the table.

"Sir, who sent this?"

Every day many people send things as gifts, either by themselves or by having others send them.

Even though the young master said that gifts were not allowed and would not be accepted, there were still many people who gave gifts.

This time, the person who delivered the gift probably just put the gift down and ran away, and the young master didn't even have a chance to refuse.

Alas! It's all because the young master is too good-looking.

Ruan Ningan: "It was sent by Miss Chen."

There was an expression of "I see" in Mu Dong's eyes.

This Miss Chen was quite bold and had sent him gifts several times, so he remembered her.

"Sir, what did Miss Chen give you?"

Ruan Ning'an hasn't watched it yet!

"Take a look."

Mu Dong received the order and lifted the cloth on the basket, his eyes widened instantly.

There was a large piece of pork belly inside, which looked to weigh about two pounds.

Since large-scale land fertilization began two years ago, the yields of all crops have increased. Coupled with good weather and good harvests, people's lives are much better than before.

But these two pounds of meat are also precious to the people here.

Ruan Ning'an took one look and said, "Mudong, go and return the things to the Chen family."

If it is radish, cabbage or other inexpensive vegetables, you can accept them.

But this top-quality pork belly costs more than twenty cents, they themselves may not be willing to eat it!

"Yes, son."

Mu Dong returned the pork belly to the Chen family.

In the following period of time, Ruan Ning'an refused countless times, but people still sent him gifts.

There were also many women who pretended to meet him by chance in places where he passed by.

The women liked her and the men envied him.

Ruan Ning'an didn't accept meat or eggs. It happened that wild vegetables had grown in the mountains, so they went to the mountains to dig some and gave them to him.

He only accepted one portion every day. Some people even got up early to dig wild vegetables in the hope that he would accept their wild vegetables.

In May, the bamboo in the small yard becomes more lush and green.

The mountains behind are like an oil painting, with emerald green, light yellow, dark brown...all kinds of colors intertwined together.

Ruan Ning'an has been in this small village for four months.

A few days ago, he received a letter from Mrs. Ruan. In a month, people from other countries would arrive in the capital, and he had to go back.

Fortunately, there was a teacher in the village, who was a student.

He took the provincial examinations for ten consecutive years but failed, so he returned to the village and became a teacher, but his knowledge was not as good as his.

Ruan Ning'an told the village chief.

Although the village chief was reluctant to let him go, he knew that he was not an ordinary person and that it was a great blessing for him to be able to guide the children in the village for a period of time, so he did not try to keep him.

Alas! It is so hard to find a well-educated teacher, but he doesn't even ask for tuition.

During the few months that Master Ruan has been teaching, his grandson is no longer as naughty as before and no longer refuses to go to the academy, and he has learned a lot.

But he was leaving.

Seeing the village chief frowning, Ruan Ning'an stopped and pondered for a moment, then turned around and said, "Village chief, I will come back, but I don't know how long I will stay this time."

"Really? Master Ruan, will you really come back?"

The village chief took a big step forward to Ruan Ning'an, his breathing became rapid, and his face showed a nervous and excited expression.

He was afraid that he had heard it wrongly.

Ruan Ning'an had a smile on his gentle face and nodded slowly.

"That's great, that's great..." The village chief said it several times, and slowly realized that his behavior just now was like a young boy who had just encountered a good thing.

Didn’t scare Master Ruan?

He said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Master Ruan, I'm sorry! I'm just too excited.

"Village Chief, it's alright." Ruan Ning'an still had a gentle smile on his face, clasped his fists and said, "Then I'll go first."

"Master Ruan, take care on your journey." The village chief said from behind.

After leaving the village chief's house, Mu Dong had an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and looked at Ruan Ning'an from time to time.

Ruan Ning'an stopped and looked at Mu Dong, "Just say whatever you want to say."

"Sir, are you still going to be a teacher here? Then you won't take the imperial examination in the future?"

They have been traveling for three years. Along the way, the young master has met many great scholars and solved many of his doubts. He feels that the young master can now take part in the provincial examination.

"join."

Mu Dong looked puzzled, "But didn't you just tell the village chief that you still wanted to be a teacher here?"

Ruan Ningan explained: "I am a teacher here. When the time for the provincial examination comes, I will go to take it. After the provincial examination, I will be a teacher here with peace of mind."

In the past few months, he has discovered two extremely talented children here who love to ask him questions.

He needs to teach well.

"Sir, don't you plan to be an official in the future?"
