Cub Nursery

A row of tables was set up next to the concrete platform, and the cubs moved up to sit on benches, and there were stacks of books on the tables.

The old lady brought her little grandson to pick up the book, and seeing the Thunder cub writing with a pencil, which was very beautiful, horizontally and vertically, she couldn't help asking: "Little gentleman, if my grandson studies, he can also write like you." Is it okay?"

"Get the book?" The Thunder cub hurriedly put down the brush, saw the old lady nodding, quickly picked up a book and handed it over, and said with a smile, "If you can read this book thoroughly, you will be able to recognize ordinary characters. You can try to go to school to study, and after studying, you can take the exam according to your own ability."

"Nobody taught me this, how can I learn it?" The old lady was still a little puzzled.

"There are pictures in the book, it's very easy." Cub Thunder opened a book and pointed it to the old lady, "There is a horse drawn here, which means that the word horse is pronounced. There is also a pinyin at the front of the book. Put these pinyin After memorizing, you can understand the following words. The school will organize students to give lectures on a regular basis. At that time, you can also ask them how to read some difficult words, and there are some calculations at the end. If you can learn it, go to the school to study The grasp will be greater."

The old lady looked carefully, and there were indeed many pictures in the book, some of which read horses, and some read cars, which is really not difficult.

There are songs in pinyin, and now even if you are not a child, you can hum a few words, which is not difficult.

If my children can really read and have the opportunity to go to school in the future, that would be a great thing.

The old lady got the book, thanked the thunder cub and left.

Someone came from behind and asked, "Don't the schools beckon illiterate children?"

"Accepted." Cub Thunder said calmly, "Just entering the school to learn how to read means you have to attend classes every day. If you don't pass the class after one year, you will be dropped out of school."

Besides, many people don’t have the energy to send their children to the school every day. The children are young, and it’s not appropriate to live in the school by themselves, so Yan Xun came up with this idea: send some books, and let the students come out to give lectures regularly. Children who are eager to learn will definitely have the opportunity to go to school.

This is of course aimed at the poor. Even young servants from wealthy families have the opportunity to read and write, let alone young masters, brothers, and sisters.

"Wouldn't it be a waste if someone doesn't read these books when they are sent out?" Someone asked again, sounding like they were looking for faults.

The thunder cub was still in a hurry, "As long as some children are willing to study, they will definitely be able to develop into talents when they enter the school in the future. My adults don't want everyone to be able to study, everyone can be literate, but just want to give some children a chance. "

If you want to study, you will have the opportunity, and you can learn skills through the school. In the future, whether you take the imperial examination or go out to work, you can find a good job. It is also an excellent opportunity to change your class.

Since ancient times, reading has always been the privilege of the gentry, and it is even more difficult for the poor to study. Now that they have such an opportunity, I am afraid that many people will firmly grasp it. How can it be wasted?

"Hmph." After hearing what the Thunder Cub had said, the man flicked his sleeves and left.

The thunder cub was not angry either, and continued to talk patiently to the next adult who brought the child.

When it was time to rest, the baby ran up with a plate of snacks in one hand, climbed up the table legs, put the plate in front of the Thunder Cub, and said old-fashionedly: "Brother, that man is the third youngest of the Ruan family, a concubine, stupid, He doesn't know how to study at all, but he has some cultivation, and he has always wanted to be a Taoist soldier."

"The Ruan family?" The thunder cub poured himself a glass of water, took some snacks, and said to the baby in a low voice, "Brother, are they going to deal with the adults?"

"Almost." The baby sat on the table, resting his chin on one hand, "Originally this year, the Guiyuan insect bud demon attacked the city. If General Yang sent a battle report to ask the court for help, then the Ruan family would move up and down, taking advantage of the emperor's rebuke of General Yang." If there is an opportunity, send Third Young Master Ruan to the border town to be the General of Hussars."

General of Hussars is a title higher than that of Generals. Although the position has always been vacant and the real power is in the hands of the generals, if there is really someone in the position of Generals of Hussars, there must be a change of power.

Thunder Cub looked surprised, "What is the origin of Third Young Master Ruan?"

"I don't have any skills. It is estimated that the Ruan family wants to write a letter to make the general of the hussars a vacant post, and then send the third young master Ruan to the border town." Bao Bao said, "When the border town makes meritorious service, it will be the third young master Ruan, the "general of the hussars". The time of merit."

It was really a good plan, but it was a pity that it came to nothing.

Seeing the happy face of Thunder Cub, Baobao said proudly, "Master and I came to investigate this, the Ruan family has a lot of schemes..."

"It's a pity that the bamboo basket fetched water in vain." Thunder Cub said.

"Of course." The baby jumped up and waved at the thunder cub, "I'm going to deliver snacks to the other brothers." Saying that, the baby fell off the table, landed firmly, and ran away quickly .

Here Yan Xun also just found out about this, and he knows more.

The Ruan family was also a first-class family in Daqin back then. There used to be high-ranking officials such as Dukes and Prime Ministers in the family. Now they are declining, but they should not be underestimated.Ruan Er is the servant of the Ministry of War, the emperor's confidant, and even married to the Jia family. Mrs. Ruan is Jia Buzhen's mother-in-law, and the Ruan family is also married to the Xie family.

"It's a good thing the truth has been revealed, otherwise the border town would not know how much trouble there will be." Yan Xun said, "General Hushi, it's thanks to the Ruan family for daring to think about it."

"The relationship between the major families in the capital is intricate. If the Hussar General is just a vain job, the Ruan family may really be able to win it." Jing Fengye thought for a while and said, "The aristocratic families in the capital like stability, and I am afraid they will look down on the bitter cold border town."

"So they would rather lie to their ears and steal the bell, and make mistakes again and again for so many years." Yan Xun sneered, "Who would have thought that the border town has changed a lot now, I just don't want to give out a lot of Guiyuan green ganoderma, otherwise these aristocratic families would not have to take it." The reason for giving out mountains of gold and silver is to live a few more years?"

No matter how many Guiyuan green ganoderma lucidum there are, Yan Xun will basically stay in the border towns. The Taoist soldiers who fought bloody for the Great Qin need this kind of medicine even more.

"My lord is right." Jing Fengye looked at Yan Xun with burning eyes.

The cotton cloth, cotton, and silk produced by the border towns were transported back by train, and they were basically exchanged for grain and sent back to the border towns, and even cement and steel bars were sent to the border towns. How much money did Yan Xun himself earn?

Good medicines such as Guiyuan Green Ganoderma lucidum can replenish vitality and prolong life. Too much.

However, Yan Xun didn't take it as his own, but kept most of it in the border town for the Taoist soldiers.

This kind of heart and courage, I am afraid that no one can compare.

Even Jing Fengye would be in a trance sometimes, with all kinds of charming eyes, so much wealth, what can't he do?Why hand over to others?

But thinking about it carefully, Jing Fengye suddenly understood Yan Xun's good intentions, he was for the border town, but also for the balance.The capital city is too prosperous, and it has long gone to the tragic and grandeur of the ancestors fighting against monsters, but they just occupy wealth; the border city is bitter and cold, but still retains the vigor and determination to fight against the monster country.

Many people have forgotten that Daqin is not safe now, and the demon kingdom is still eyeing it. This is not the time for pleasure at all.

Yan Xun did not forget, and tried his best to do things.

He doesn't only have wealth in his heart, on the contrary, making money is the last thing he will do.

"The emperor just let the third young master Ruan go." Yan Xun said, "We don't need to worry about this matter."

The truth of Guiyuan Chongya demon's siege of the city has just been revealed, and the emperor supported Yan Xun, so it was discovered that the Ruan family wanted to take this opportunity to fight for power. Naturally, the emperor was the first to bear the brunt of the attack, and the third young master Ruan is not in bad luck. Unlucky?

The result was similar to what Yan Xun had guessed, the emperor issued an order to reprimand Mr. San Ruan.

Even though he was innocent but was reprimanded by the emperor himself, it must be even more difficult for Third Young Master Ruan to become an official in the future.

Tofu Festival ended successfully.

Brother Mu earned money that he had never imagined before. After deducting the money for renting the wooden shed and the cost, the net profit was enough to fill the wooden box.

"Tie Niu, thanks to your help this time, you have a share of the money here." Mu Geer said, "I have discussed it with my parents, so don't refuse."

"Are you leaving?" Tieniu asked hastily.

Brother Mu nodded, and then said with a blushing face, "I told my parents, send them back to the village, and I'll come to the capital again. I'll stay with you and see if I can find a job. The capital makes a lot more money than the village. gone."

"The job is easy. I'll help you find it. Those workshops are very good. Let's look back and see which one is suitable." Tieniu hurriedly said.

Obviously, Tieniu has not been idle these days, and has already gone to various workshops to ask the stewards.

"Success." Brother Mu didn't refuse either.

After getting along for the past few days, Tieniu has helped their family a lot, and Brother Mu is willing to live in a clean concrete building. The two sides see each other well, and if they get along again, they can talk about marriage.

At this time, Brother Mu said so, he took the initiative to confirm the relationship.

Because of the appearance of the cubs at the Tofu Festival and the presentation of books, even Brother Mu was moved and said: "When we get married and have a baby this morning, I think the school is really good."

Tieniu blushed immediately, but he also said: "With my work, our children can go to the No. [-] School, and the teachers there are better. can be in charge.”

After all, he is the captain of the shopping mall security team, and he can talk to Yan Xun directly, so it will be no problem for the child to go to school in the future.

"That's the best." Mu Ge'er was even more satisfied in his heart, anyway, he decided to follow Tieniu wholeheartedly.

The students in the school only rested on the day of the Tofu Festival, and continued to go to the school the next day.

The tofu festival was so lively. After the performance, the students even ate the water table, and some even took a lot of money to buy, buy, and eat on the street. Even if they came to class, many students were still out of their minds.

Seeing the excited faces of all the students, wishing to dismiss the get out of class immediately, Xu Liangmei said calmly: "There will be an exam in the future, and I will take you to review the new lesson if you don't learn new lessons in these two days."

"Ah..." All the students wailed immediately.

Some students have inquired about the exam for a long time. It is said that there will be exactly the same exam papers. Everyone will sit alone in a place, and they will have no chance to read other people's papers, let alone talk. Announce it.

This is different from homework. Most of the students have done homework, copying homework, etc., with the help of family servants or friends.

But the exam...

On the same day, many students went home to light up the lamp to fight at night, holding their textbooks and reading carefully under the oil lamp.

Even Tian Shun was nervous about reading at night, even until midnight, when he got up in the morning, he went to school and continued to read.

In such an atmosphere, Yan Xun came with a thick stack of test papers.

Each student is separated individually, and the front, back, left, and left are empty. Let alone reading the test papers, even talking to each other will be discovered.

"Distribute the test paper." Yan Xun said calmly.

Begin with the students in front, one test paper per person.

The test paper is printed, and there are many questions, some are very simple, some are difficult, and the scores are marked at the back of the questions, indicating the score of this question.

Tian Shun quickly glanced through the test papers, feeling slightly relaxed. He thought the test papers would be difficult, but he didn't expect that most of the questions were taught by Mr. Li on weekdays, and some of them were in books. He happened to read them when he stayed up late at night. .

Tian Shun had no time to care about other students, so he immediately started answering questions.

Watching the clock go by one frame at a time, when the time came, Yan Xun said calmly: "Everyone stood up, and the students behind started to collect their papers, and they all put down their pens, so they couldn't write anymore."

The students behind immediately stood up and began to roll up their papers.

Yan Xun sorted out all the test papers, took them and left.

This is the sound of wailing coming from the house.

"It's over now, I still have a question to write."

"You actually wrote so much, I can't do half of it."

"I don't know most of the topics. I don't remember whether my husband has talked about it."

"What to do, what to do, it's over this time."

Some of the servants who were studying with him were also worried. In order to serve their young master, they naturally learned very well. They couldn't resist writing a lot of answers to these questions, but my young master might not write very well.

But my husband also said that you can't cheat, and you can't deliberately not answer the questions.

It's just that when the results come out, the young master will be miserable, and I'm afraid I will be miserable too.

"My lord." Xu Liangmei and others also brought the test papers and gathered with Yan Xun.

"Well, let's start grading the papers now." Yan Xun said.

The place where the name is written on the test paper is all sealed, so you can't see it even if you want to.

Yan Xun also brought the cubs to help. They are not familiar with the students, and they can't read the handwriting at all, so they can guarantee fairness and justice.

Xu Liangmei, Liao Geer and other teachers immediately dispersed and began to score with a pen. This is more accurate than simple evaluation of good and bad. Some questions have specific steps, which is much more precise.

It has been rumored for a long time that the school exam is finally over.

It's not just the students who are concerned about grades, those who have students studying in the school at home, and those who pay attention to the school, or even those who only care about the grades of the students, are also concerned about this matter.

When the grade list was posted and posted on the cement building wall of the school, there were countless people who came to watch.

Tian Fei asked Qin Liu for leave early, and waited at the gate of the school before dawn.

But he didn't come here too early, I heard that some big families with good face sent servants here in the middle of the night, stood up early and waited, just like waiting for a list of talents.

"Young Master Tian is here too." Pei Yu'er also came early, and the servants at home helped to occupy the seat early, so she was calm at the moment.

There are still some people who came late in the back who are anxiously looking for a seat. If you can't see the ranking of your young master, how can you go back and explain it.

"Brother Yu." Tian Fei cupped his hands at Pei Yu'er.

"My concubine brother usually likes to do nothing the most, and I don't know how he did in the exam this time." Pei Yu'er sighed, "If the mud can't support the wall, he will have to be beaten when he goes back."

Tian Fei nodded approvingly.

If his younger brother Tian Shun's ranking is not good, he will definitely have to teach him a lesson.

"Come out, come out." Suddenly someone shouted in front.

"My house has taken up space, Young Master Tian will follow me." Pei Yu'er said hastily.

Tian Fei was not too polite, he wanted to know Tian Shun's ranking earlier.

After finally squeezing to the front, several servants of Pei's family held hands and formed a circle. Standing in the circle and looking up, one could see the high-hanging list with black letters on a red background, which was magnificent.

Looking from top to bottom, there are a few surnames in front that are familiar, but names are very strange. Tian Fei held his breath, thinking that they should be the sons of those rich families, but the one surnamed Tian has never been found, but he saw Pei Gou. son's name.

Pei Yu'er's concubine brother is called Pei Gou'er?The name is too vulgar.

Looking down, when I was about to reach the 20th place, I finally saw Tian Shun's name, No. [-] and [-]th.

"It's okay." Tian Fei heaved a sigh of relief.

There are a lot of students in the school, and it is obvious that Tian Shuneng has worked hard to reach the 27th place. According to the information Tian Fei inquired privately, if Tian Shun can maintain his ranking, he will definitely have no problem in being a scholar in the future. Maybe it's time to hit the top of the case.

His younger brother finally became sensible, Tian Fei's heart slowly fell to the ground, and then he turned to look at Pei Yu'er, ready to congratulate him.

As a result, Pei Yu'er's brows stood on end, she blew her beard and stared, and stomped her foot fiercely, and said loudly: "Pei Lu'er, a lazy bastard, I said that it must be abnormal for him to finish his homework so well on weekdays. It really is Pei Lu'er." The dog helped write it."

Tian Fei understood that the twenty or so Pei Gou'er were Pei Lu'er's servants, and Pei Lu'er's ranking was in the bottom group.

Generally, the servants who are selected to go to school with them are basically the children of the family, and they are also able-bodied children such as housekeepers and mother-in-laws. They are already literate, and they will naturally be trained to assist their young masters in the future.

This is the case with Tian Shun's personal servant, but this time the ranking is low, Tian Fei thinks it is normal, Tian Shun's servant is clever, but not very good at studying.

"I must go back and report the truth to my parents." Pei Yu'er said angrily, "Let him come to the school to study, but not to play. It's too embarrassing to be inferior to a servant!"

Tian Fei didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly made way for Pei Yu'er to go out.

There is a huge difference between the Tian family and the Pei family. One is a wealthy family with hundreds of years, and the other is a down-and-out honorable family. They would never speak when they met.However, because Tian Fei took an errand under Qin Liu's hand and often went to the nursery school, Pei Yu'er and other younger brothers also liked to go to the nursery school, everyone who came and went felt that they were all their own family.

And Pei Yu'er is a student of the Imperial College, with a great talent and reputation, and Wang Zhen'er of the Wang family is also called the Shuangyu of the capital. How could he not be angry?

At the same time the list was posted, test papers began to be distributed in the school.

The mistakes were marked very clearly, and the scores were also very clear. Yan Xun also gave the standard answers and asked the teachers to explain the test papers to the students.

Some people who knew that they did not do well in the exam were very disturbed and didn't want to go back home at all.

Brother Liao took out his pocket watch to check the time, and said calmly: "Okay, I will save the rest for the next class. You all take the test papers home today and ask the elders to sign them. I will check them tomorrow."

"No."

"Sir, my parents are very busy, I'm afraid they don't have time to sign."

"What if my parents are illiterate?"

Seeing some students who got good grades and high scores secretly delighted, they were obviously looking forward to going home to show off to their elders, while students with poor grades started to find all kinds of reasons, Brother Liao smiled slightly, not panicking. He hurriedly said: "If the parents in the family are illiterate, they can press their fingerprints. If the elders in the family are busy, they can explain it to me alone, and I will come to visit in person in another day."

Now, although Brother Liao's family is very ordinary, he still sells tofu, but there are many big people behind him, not to mention Zhou Guang, Xianping, Song Feiliang and others, just the fact that he is a friend of Claw Cubs is not enough. Few people are jealous in their hearts and dare not offend at all.

The children from the rich families in the school are extremely shrewd, maybe they can bully a teacher like Xu Liangmei a little bit, but Liao Geer absolutely dare not, they have to be honest and obedient.

The school was over that day, and many students couldn't wait to run out, rushing home to ask their parents for credit, and some students wished that the carriage would be slower, and it would be better if they never went home.

The tofu festival was held, and the college exams were over. Yan Xun went to the prefectural school specially, and specially applied to let the cubs not have to go to the prefectural school to study.

For this reason, Yan Xun also sent a lot of paper, which is much easier to use than ordinary silk paper and Luoyang paper. He also gave a lot of pencils, which is more convenient for writing.

Naturally, Fu Xuezheng would not refuse.

After finishing all the busy work, Yan Xun started to prepare to go back to the border town.

In the huge train station, truckloads of grain were loaded into the carriages, and the men were sweating profusely to and fro.

Yan Xun sat by the window in the room on the second floor of the train station.

The cubs on the opposite side are all busy. All the things on the train must be registered, and the supplies on the train must be taken out separately, and the budget must be made according to the number of people boarding the train this time.

The skilled craftsmen under Brother Huan knew trains very well, but they were not very good at these budgets.

"My lord, I'm afraid that my concubine brother won't be able to learn it." Pei Yu'er waited for his younger brother to see him off, and he specifically talked to Yan Xun.

"What's going on?" Yan Xun hurriedly asked.

All the arrangements of the school have its own regulations. Up to now, the changes of the students entering the school can be seen with the naked eye. Even if they are not very knowledgeable, they are good at dealing with others, not to mention that the gentlemen focus on teaching how to behave.

"My concubine brother didn't accomplish anything, and he couldn't study well at all, but it's not as good as the boys around him who have passed more than 20 exams this time." Pei Yu'er said with a sad face, "My concubine brother is too embarrassing to the Pei family. If I hadn't persuaded him to , my father wants him to drop out of school."

"How is his homework on weekdays?" Yan Xun asked.

"It's very well written. I've asked about it now, and it was all written with the help of the servant." Pei Yu'er said with a wrinkled face.

"Then what is he thinking now?" Yan Xun asked again.

Pei Yu'er was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't know this.The bastards in the family are of low status, so no one cares about their own thoughts.
