Zhu Bai touched Bai Xiaowen's forehead and cheeks, said a few personal words, and asked him to retreat. Then he carefully looked at Bai Gui, Zhou Yuan and Lu Zhaopeng who came out of Bailu Village.

Her expression showed intimacy, but she was a little more distant than before, but her words were very suitable, "I will ask Mr. him about this matter when he comes back later. It shouldn't be difficult..."

After thinking for a while, he added, "You all belong to your own family."

"Are you sure, sister? Let the children from our village come to study. This is a major event that benefits the village. You think, after these children complete their studies, which of them will not repay the hometown..."

Bai Jiaxuan sat on a straight-backed chair against the wall and spoke.

He said this seemingly unintentionally, but with a bit of pressure.

Although a married girl is told not to take too much care of her mother's family, caring too much will offend her husband's family. But this time it was different. He took the children from the village school to study as teachers. This was a good thing. He could repay the village and it was also a good thing for the Bai family...

If this thing doesn't work, secretly I'll blame you, a fellow villager, for your inability to do anything.

Of course, according to Bai Jiaxuan's estimation, it is definitely possible to become an apprentice, but for these children, it is not necessarily possible to teach them carefully. After all, Mr. Zhu is not like him. He is a busy person, not only teaching students in the academy, but also I don’t have much time to socialize with others on weekdays.

Bai Jiaxuan also thought that if there were more scholars in the village, Chief Xie would have less discretion in Bailu Village when collecting taxes in the future, and Chief Liu Bao would also be able to assign some light work to Bailu Village when he sent out corvees...

Zhu Bai, who was sitting upright, was forced by her younger brother. Her eyes showed panic and confusion, but she quickly calmed down and returned to her previous calm housewife appearance, but her words also had a serious tone, " Jiaxuan, don’t worry, the child is with me. If he doesn’t teach me, I’ll ask a gentleman from another academy to teach him. At worst, I’ll pay extra, I don’t believe he can throw this guy away!”

She had an idea in her mind, and she must ask Mr. Zhu to teach her seriously.

Although Bai Jiaxuan's words were a bit coercive, without the support of her mother's family over the years, and with the support of the men of the Bai family, she was still a wife and alone, and she might be in trouble.

Zhu Bai invited Bai Gui and others to sit down, but they insisted not to sit down yet, but waited until their husband came back from get out of class.

Zhu Bai did not insist on this.

Bai Xiaowen was also very righteous. As a family member, it was natural for him to sit down. However, he insisted on waiting for Mr. Zhu's return with his classmates. This time, the teacher and gentleman he worshiped was not his uncle.

"In ancient times, there was Cheng Menlixue, but I never thought that today I could see the potential of the young people in our county."

As soon as he entered the door, Mr. Zhu was very happy. After his afternoon class, he heard from the concierge that there were family members visiting him, so he went straight to see his relatives and friends without any delay. When he walked in, he saw four teenagers who were stunned. He stood there in a daze, his legs swaying, obviously he had been standing for a long time, and at the same time he was holding a beautiful gift packed by the bookstore in his hand.

The mood is in vain much more relaxed.

"Your husband wrote to me five days ago, asking you to come to my place to learn how to make crafts." Mr. Zhu whispered slowly. He sat on the straight-backed chair on the other side, poured a mouthful of herbal tea, and moistened the Moisten your throat and then say.

There is an altar table against the wall in the living room. On both sides of the altar table are two sets of straight-backed chairs.

When Bai Jiaxuan saw his brother-in-law Mr. Zhu take his seat, he immediately stood up. He was not as kind to Mr. Zhu as he was to Mr. Zhu Bai just now, and was a little reserved.

"Brother-in-law, these are the apprenticeship ceremonies for the children. They are all purchased together, using family property."

At this time, he opened the large and small bags he placed on the ground.

The first is the six rites of apprenticeship of the ancients, which are the rites of repair. They are celery, which means "diligence and studiousness, and excellence in work"; lotus seeds, which means "hard work in education"; dates, which means "early and early high school"; and longan, which means "hard work and education". In order to "complete the merits", there are also six portions of fine dry bacon to express the disciple's feelings.

In addition to these six rites of worship, a number of snacks are also prepared.

Although Zhou Yuan is not from their Bailu Village, he has also gone to school in Bailu Village, and he still has some feelings of hometown friendship. Now it is just a apprenticeship ceremony, so if you give it, you will give it.

Besides, with the wealth of the Zhou family in Pangjia Village, they would not take advantage in vain.

Otherwise, such an apprenticeship ceremony costs at least one to two or five yuan, so how could it be wasted and kept in mind. I won’t say it, but when it comes time to use it, can I still refuse it?

He specifically said it was family property, just to stop these teenagers from paying back the money.

If you can exchange some money for favors, this business is not bad!

"I've seen it all."

Mr. Zhu nodded slightly, feeling satisfied.

Confucius also said, "I have done more than self-cultivation, and I have never regretted it." This sentence means that I have no regrets in teaching students who have been taught by Shu Xiu, but on the other hand, I have regrets in teaching some students who have not been taught by Shu Xiu...

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

"The Bailu Village can have such enlightenment, which is inseparable from the contribution of Jiaxuan, the clan leader."

Mr. Zhu affirmed Bai Jiaxuan’s contribution here.

Other villages in Zishui County rarely see such benevolent wealthy families as the Bai family and the Lu family in Bailu Village, who are able to donate money to repair ancestral halls and run schools.

Bai Jiaxuan also smiled heartily, pointed to the gifts carried by Bai Gui and the others and said: "Brother-in-law, the children in Ermen Village all know kindness, and they also used their own money to buy some gifts for you, sir."

He pointed at Bai Gui.

Bai Gui understood. He was the oldest among his classmates and was from Bailu Village. He should come forward first. He held the wrapped book in both hands, bowed slightly and handed it over, "Sir, I don't know if you like it." What, I think I always have the Four Books and Five Classics at home, so I picked a medical book, and I asked my husband not to be offended."

"You have a heart."

Mr. Zhu nodded and said: "Being a good doctor is not a good appearance. This is the ambition of us scholars. Your husband is a doctor of the Spring and Autumn Period, um..., that's right, Zuo's Chunqiu's "Medical Harmony Treats Common Diseases" Chapter, 'It says: 'Those who were good doctors in ancient times used superior medicine to heal the country, traditional Chinese medicine to heal people, and inferior medicine to heal diseases.' You can choose this medical book, which shows that you have applied what you learned in the Spring and Autumn Period."

He also smiled as he said, "If doctors don't read the Spring and Autumn Annals, they may not know what the King of Medicine said in "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions for Emergency: Diagnosis"; 'Those who were good doctors in ancient times used superior medicine to heal the country, and traditional Chinese medicine healed people. Where does the idea of ​​"treating the sick" come from?"

His words were warning and warning.

Although sending medical books conforms to Confucian concepts, it is still a bit offbeat.

As for the elders, they need to be vigilant.

"King of Medicine? Sun Simiao?"

After Bai Gui gave the apprenticeship ceremony, he took a few steps back and then reacted belatedly.

In Guanzhong, Sun Simiao, the king of medicine from Jingzhao in the Tang Dynasty, is a household name. Many villagers enshrine Sun Simiao's statue in their homes, especially among mountain people, and it is not uncommon in Bailu Village.

What Sun Simiao talked about most was that he lived for more than 150 years.

"If you don't read the Spring and Autumn Period, you won't understand the books written by the ancients..."

Bai Gui sighed.

Famous Taoist priests like Sun Simiao were also familiar with poetry and books.
