The second person entered the courtyard, and the fire had already burned. It was extremely hot as soon as he entered the house.
The underground of the seven main rooms had been repaired with flue-channels. In winter, there was a fire wall under their feet. The children would definitely not be cold when they read.
The two sides of the room have been burnt out, the new kang mat, lining the white windows, looked exceptionally clean.
In the middle of the living room, there was nothing else, but tables and benches, for the children to study at night. Only two large porcelain pots were placed on the side of the room. Usually, they would raise some fish for the children to play. If they were to walk in the water, they could also get water nearby.
Mr. Yao, zhou shanchang, and the others looked around in satisfaction, straightening their beards.
Although these were not as good as yuelu academy or those schools in the capital city. But it had to be said that the beijing huatang hall was definitely one of the best in the northern region.
Elder lin had never seen what the great academy looked like before, so naturally, he felt that it was extremely good.
So, under the joy, he directly ordered, tomorrow open a day of water table, one to thank the villagers to help, two to let all the neighbors to visit the children to read a good place.
On the second day, there were a lot of villagers from the villages, and there were quite a lot of wealthy people in the city. Moreover, everyone's gifts were books, old and new, and there were three or four cars.
It must be known that the children of the poor are not born to be stupid. On the contrary, the children of the poor are more sensible and intelligent than those of the rich. Why is it difficult to stand out? It's just that there's not enough information.
Poor family, it is difficult to eat and dress. Where have money to go to school, buy pen and ink, buy books.
This was not like modern society. Old books were all three or five yuan each on the street.
Therefore, the lin family had collected a thousand and eight hundred books a few days ago and later. Although they were both expensive and cheap, it was indeed a generous gift.
Unable to do so, old master lin sent his men to the city to pick up some tea as he took the guests in.
Old Mr. Yao was overjoyed to hear that the library's empty shelves were almost filled up this day. Ever since he was three years old, he had been grey and had been practically a book for decades. Since the disaster, the most difficult thing for him to get used to was not eating, drinking, not wearing warm clothes, and travelling a long way. Instead, he did not have books to read.
Now that he was done, a room full of books was more precious than giving him a rare treasure.
"Somebody, find me a new coat! "
The old man was in high spirits. He changed his servant's clothes and called zhou Tailai." Junior brother, come with me." "
"Yes, senior brother, if you don' t open your mouth, I will go over and take a look. "
Zhou Tailai also called the servant boy to take his clothes, and soon both of them changed into new clothes.
Speaking of which, zhou xinxiu and dalian had personally sewn it with their maids.
The lin family had always pursued the kindness of a drop of water to repay each other. Old master yao and his son instructed lin dashan to study, and now they were teaching lin and the students in the school. The lin family didn' t think that this was a reward for Mr. Yao and his son's help, but they had always been grateful.
The lin dahai brothers, as well as the feng family's sisters-in-law, as well as the boys and Jiao Jiao, each of them was considered to be filial and filial.
The old man's meals were almost all from the hands of the feng family, and his clothes and shoes were hand-sewn by zhou xinxiu and dalian.
Later, zhou Tailai brought his disciples over. The feng sisters-in-law and sister-in-law couldn' t take care of him, so they only filled zhou Tailai into the" list" of elders and took care of him personally. Several of the disciples' belongings were purchased from the city.
Old master yao's identity was sensitive now, so he had changed into a set of rainy-green cotton plain robes with no patterns on his body.he only embroidered a small, dark blue blessing on his sleeves and neckline, his waist wrapped around the same color belt without any accessories, but he put a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, which made him more refined and amiable.
Yao changming was dressed in a silver-colored, stony robe with a jade hairpin on his head. The yao family had experienced the lowest point, and now the most important thing for them to learn was to keep a low profile and wait for the right time.
If zhou Tailai was the most outstanding one, he had always looked like an immortal. When he walked out, he could not help but bend over to salute with just one face. Now, he had changed into a dark red flowing cloud bat's dark striped robe. The two fingers were wide and the dark golden brocade rolled on the side of the belt, and a green jade pendant representing the identity of the yuelu academy's mountain chief. Instantly, there was less immortal qi and more grace.
In the lin family courtyard, everyone gathered around the table to drink tea and eat fruits. They chatted and chatted. Although the tea was fragrant and the fruit was sweet, everyone couldn' t help but look at the door until they shouted," old master yao has arrived. Mr. Yao has arrived, and the yuelu academy has zhou shan!" "
Everyone stood up in surprise and rushed over to greet them.
Old master yao greeted him with a smile, then walked over to old master lin without saying anything else. It was obvious that he respected the lin family as the main family.
Elder lin didn' t think too much about it. However, old master yao was reasonable and took the initiative to raise the lin family.
Soon, everyone sat down. They were all trying to curry favor with each other, so how could they be so cold?
Therefore, the news from the capital city, interesting things about the county, the children of the family determined to enter yuelu academy, president lin, said that it was also lively.
After the banquet was settled, old master lin served the table. As the master of the family, he should first toast and thank everyone for coming to support him. Old Mr. Yao refilled his second glass and praised everyone for their kindness. Zhou shanchang took the third cup. Half a month later, he was going to open a meeting in the city and invited everyone to have a wine tasting.
Naturally, everyone responded with joy and secretly told them that they had not come for nothing today. They had also found a shortcut to curry favor with Mr. Yao and zhou shanchang. Then, they would befriend the lin family and treat the students of the beijing huatang hall kindly.
Thinking about it carefully, they had also gotten into a difficult situation previously. They thought that the yao family needed gold, silver, satin and other things the most when they were in trouble. In fact, the yao family had been teaching and educating people for generations. Naturally, they loved books the most, and the students were the ones they missed the most.
Halfway through the banquet, old master yao excused himself for being weak and frail.
Outside the lin family's kitchen, the water table was filled with excitement. The neighbors who had helped out earlier had brought their families to see the school and were all proud as if they had built a palace.
