On that day, ye Xiaoxian's jelly sold out quickly, and it was just after noon.
As usual, she would go around the county first, buy some daily things, or learn about the food culture of Qinghe County.
But that day, she came back early.
During this time, I made a lot of money selling jelly. In addition, Xiao Baoshan also paid one or two silver coins, so Xiao Baofeng's going to the private school should be put on the agenda.
Ye Xiaoxian returned home early and led Xiao Baofeng to the private school in the town.
There is only one private school in Daliang town. There are not many students. The local place attaches great importance to agriculture. All the boys in the family will work at home in the future. Going to the private school is also for literacy. They rarely go on the road of official career. Generally, they will drop out of school and go home to farm in two or three years.
Ye Xiaoxian believes that boys should be allowed to go to school whenever possible, regardless of literacy or official career.
The private school in the town is called "Yingfeng" school. It is opened by the elders in the town. After opening the private school, invite a teacher to come and accept students.
"Yingfeng" school is a row of tiled houses. There are only two classrooms in it. One is used to teach children who have just entered school, and the other is used to teach children who have been in school for two or three years. At this time, Langlang readers come from both classrooms. Listen carefully. There are some articles such as "those who are too smart".
When ye Xiaoxian led Xiao Baofeng in, she saw an old man of about 50 cleaning the yard in front of the private school. The old man was dressed clean and looked very energetic. Ye Xiaoxian thought he was the person in charge of the private school, so she came forward and asked, "excuse me, are you a gentleman here? I want to ask about the admission of children."
The old man looked up at Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baofeng, and then shouted to one of the classrooms, "Wang Xiucai, someone is looking for him!"
After shouting, he continued to clean the yard, as if he had nothing to do with it.
After a while, a young man came out of one of the classrooms. The young man was tall and thin. He looked about 20. His face was white and dressed in a plain green robe. When he came out to see ye Xiaoxian, he saluted. He looked like a scholar.
Ye Xiaoxian blamed herself for her clumsy eyes. How could she recognize the old man as a teacher just now? She also underestimated the private school in the countryside.
"Mr. Wang, do you still recruit students here? This is my brother. His name is Xiao Baofeng. He is eight years old. He has never been to a private school before and can't read. I want him to study here." Ye Xiaoxian was polite.
Then he asked Xiao Baofeng to salute Wang Xiucai. Xiao Baofeng did the same, but he didn't salute seriously. He looked a little funny.
Wang Xiucai first looked at Ye Xiaoxian, then looked at Xiao Baofeng, and then said, "I accept students here. I can come whenever I want to go to school, but I have to pay two liang silver for admission. These two liang silver are counted as tuition and lunch."
"Money is not a problem. It's all ready, but I want to know what you usually teach except literacy?" Ye Xiaoxian asked again.
"Literacy is only one of them. In addition, we will teach the four books, the five classics and the book of songs. This depends on his ability to understand and accept, and whether he is willing to study hard." Wang Xiucai said.
"Well, four books and five classics are OK." Ye Xiaoxian said.
Wang Xiucai was stunned and thought, can this girl not only read, but also know four books and five classics?
Daliang town is a remote place, not to mention women. Even many men don't go to school. A rural girl knows this?
