Chapter 41: Shameful Tang Wen
The village where the Marquis of Danyang is located is called Majia Village, and most of the villagers here have the surname Ma. I heard that there was an official surnamed Ma who settled here in the previous dynasty and moved his relatives and property here.
After decades of war and chaos, bandits, officers and soldiers, and rebellious soldiers wreaked havoc on Majia Village like locusts, and finally this relatively well-off village was completely reduced to poverty.
But that all changed when Danyang Hou moved his family here.
Because the road is open, some merchants are willing to come and see if there are any new things here. Even if you don't, it would be good if you could do business with Danyang Hou.
In the past, the villagers of Majia Village had to walk two hours to enter the city and then walk back two hours with the grain on their backs.
The Marquis of Danyang Mansion settled here, and some businesses also followed here to set up properties. Majia Village, which was originally small, has gradually gained the scale of a small town after the expansion of these merchants.
But places like inns and restaurants, Majia Village does not have them. People who come here to do business sell the necessities of life. For example, grain merchants who sell rice and flour, and clothing merchants who sell fabrics and ready-to-wear garments.
These are the necessities of life, and the people of Danyang Hou Mansion are not immortals in the sky who can not eat or drink, so they are mainly doing business with Danyang Hou Mansion, followed by the villagers of Majia Village.
In addition to building a paved road, Tang Ning also set up a private school in Majia Village.
At first, he was going to set up a family school, but the three children Tang Yu, Tang Wen, and Tang Liang are getting older and older year by year, and they have been letting them play blindly, and it is not a matter for Li Zi to take them to learn.
Although Li Zi and Wang Shi are both talented women who are full of poetry and books, it is more than enough for them to teach. But after all, the two of them are the mothers of the children, and the children are mischievous, and these two women may not be able to fight.
So Tang Ning finally decided to invite another gentleman, and the candidate was Liu Rang, the retired Privy Council signatory recommended by Zhang Jingming.
Liu Rang is a person who belongs to the middle and upper reaches of the official group of the Great Song Dynasty. There are no special talents and political achievements, but don't forget, it is not a simple matter to be able to enter the imperial examination in the Great Song Dynasty.
Because the Song Dynasty vigorously promoted the imperial examination system, the number of officials recommended and the number of officials hired by Yin Supplement were slightly reduced. As long as the children of the poor family have real talent and real learning, and are willing to study hard, they will have the opportunity to become officials of the Great Song Dynasty.
Therefore, there were many scholars in the Song Dynasty.
It's like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, Liu Rang can stand out from it, and naturally he has his ability.
This man has a good handwriting and a reputation for being modest and studious. The most important thing is that he is also willing to teach people, although his hometown is not Tokyo City, but it is also in Kaifeng Prefecture.
After retiring, it happened that he wanted to go back
When he heard Zhang Jingming say that Danyang Hou was going to invite Mr. to teach his children, Liu Rang was a little moved.
That's Danyang Hou, just this Hou word, their children will not be bad in the future. Take advantage of the pit now, and it will be easy to collect interest in the future, right?
After the results arrived, Liu Rang found that there were many, many school-age children in Majia Village. He was fond of teaching people, and after moving his family here, he spent his days thinking about those children.
So he proposed to Tang Ning to build a private school here, so that school-age children in Majia Village can be enrolled for free, which is regarded as doing a good deed.
Tang Ning didn't think much about it, and simply agreed. Liu Rang was very surprised, originally he also thought of a set of rhetoric, such as these children will be the talents reserved by your Danyang Marquis Mansion in the future......
After the private school was established, the three eldest children of the Tang family were the first to enroll. The parents of the children in Majia Village disagreed at first, that reading costs money, and that it is already very good for them to be able to live two meals a day, so where is the spare money to support their children's education?
As soon as they heard that the school was free of charge, parents were a little excited. In the end, Liu Rang was moved, and more than 20 children from more than 30 families entered this private school named Majia Academy by Tangning one after another.
In fact, from the very beginning, Liu Rang found that among the three children of the Tang family, Tang Yu has no quarrel with the world, Tang Liang has a gentle personality and has the demeanor of a leading big brother, only this Tang Wen is a headache.
Either you can't play the homework you assign, or you just don't study well. Hooking up with a few other children every day to cause trouble everywhere is very unreassuring.
Liu Rang asked Tang Ning, and Tang Ning said that he could beat him casually, so Liu Rang beat Tang Wen severely.
Tang Wen went home to find his mother and cried, Liu Yier was very angry at first, but after hearing Tang Ning say what Tang Wen did, she became even more angry and beat Tang Wen again.
However, with Tang Wen's stubborn temperament, he naturally will not learn a lesson.
After being honest for a while, he started to make trouble again. seems to be already the little demon king in the village, and Guan Ze is embarrassed, and he goes to the villagers' houses every day to apologize for Tang Wen's behavior of kicking chickens and dogs.
After that, Tang Wen was in an infinite loop in the process of making trouble, being beaten, being honest and making trouble again. When Tang Ning led the troops to the expedition, it stopped for a while, but the good times did not last long.
Now that Tang Ning is back, Tang Wen heard that his father brought back a little boy who was three years older than him, maybe he was unbalanced in his heart, or some other reason.
Xu Ning had just entered the private school in the morning, and the two had a conflict. The reason is that Tang Wen is finding fault, but where is Xu Ning easy to provoke?
In Canzhou City, this kid can run to collect the corpse of the defender of Canzhou against the hatred of the city, and this dare is not a person who can be afraid of Tang Wen.
So Tang Wen did not appoint
He was unexpectedly beaten, including his doglegs, who were not Xu Ning's opponents.
Tang Ning sat on the chair in the study with a relaxed attitude, looking at his third son with playful eyes, and he didn't know what to say at this time.
Let's fight, look at his blue nose and swollen face, I really can't go down to that hand.
Scold, he didn't get anyone to find fault with him first, but he was beaten like this by others, and he didn't bother to scold himself.
Tang Wen hung his head, with the look of a defeated general. Tang Ning held back a smile, blinked his eyes and said, "It's very miserable." ”
Seven or eight years old to beg dogs, Tang Wen is nine years old this year, and he can barely say that he is not out of that range, but it is impossible to say that he is not sensible.
When he was three or four years old, Tang Wen was able to communicate with adults fluently, and Tang Ning was the first time he had seen such a child.
Tang Yu is introverted by nature, and Tang Liang has a generous personality. Among his four children, Tang Wen is currently the smartest, followed by Tang Yu.
There are many reasons why children are mischievous, some are to get the attention of adults, and some are simply an itchy butt.
Tang Wen is very smart, so he is definitely not naughty because of the latter, maybe the adults in the family pay less attention to him, so he will do this.
Hearing his father speak, Tang Wen's head was even lower. Tang Ning laughed out loud in his stomach, but said with a stiff smile on his face: "You come here." ”
"I don't." Tang Wen shook his head and took a step back, the look on his face could not be summed up with the word embarrassment.
"Come over here and let me see how you're hurting."
"The pain of the flesh is only temporary, the child has internal injuries, you can't see it."
"You're poor!" Tang Ning rolled his eyes: "If you want me to say, you didn't suffer in vain this beating." After being beaten, you are still here with a poor mouth, and Xu Ning should be asked to beat you again another day. ”
When Tang Wen heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Then let him come again! I lost to him before, because I was not good at learning, I admit it!
Take me to practice hard for a few days and come back, and he will definitely know how powerful my fists are! ”
"Oh? So Xu Ning's fist and foot kung fu is above you? I remember when you were at home, you asked your uncle and Uncle Lin for advice, right? ”
"So I'm going to ask the two of them for some more powerful tricks to defeat that one surnamed Xu!"
Tang Ning nodded and said, "Child, it's a good thing that you are self-motivated. But why did you recognize Xu Ning? Because he's new, do you want him to recognize you as the boss? ”
Tang Wen is very smart, and one of the advantages of talking to smart children is that he can speak more directly. If this was said by Tang Ning to Tang Liang, then Tang Ning still needs to say it more simply.
