"Sister!" In the living room of the courtyard, the four-year-old little girl shouted affectionately around Xue Ning'er, the youngest one was even more happy with tears, and there were eight boys standing there very well, looking at Xue Ning'er's eyes were also full of excitement, although Xue Ning'er was not their own sister, but in their hearts, Xue Ning'er was closer than her own sister.

Xue Ning'er was also very happy to look at these younger brothers and sisters, hugged a few girls and kissed them, and then looked at the boys, and then introduced to Zhao Yan next to him: "Husband, they are my younger brothers and sisters." ”

When she said this, Xue Ning'er beckoned to the two thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys in the boys' middle school, and they immediately stepped forward to salute, Xue Ning'er smiled and asked them to stand up, and then introduced to Zhao Yan: "Husband, these two of them are Xue Tao and Xue Li that I told you, I hope to go to Guozi Prison to study." ”

Zhao Yan heard this and looked at the two teenagers in front of him, among which the handsome young man on the left was Xue Li, and the darker-skinned and more honest one on the right was Xue Tao, and the two of them also saluted him together: "The student has seen the king of the county!" ”

"Hehe, you don't have to be polite, I think Ning'er has already told you, this is Ning'er's home, that is, your home, and you will live here in the future, in addition, Xue Li, if you are interested, I have something I want to teach you, if you are interested, you can listen to it, but these things may not be of much help to your future imperial examinations, so if you don't like it, you don't have to spend too much energy." Zhao Yan said with a smile, although he really wanted to spread the knowledge he had learned from the later generations, but he was a little worried that it would not be accepted, so he just used Xue Ning'er's two younger brothers to make a real thing.

Xue Li and Xue Tao had received a letter from Xue Ning'er before, in which they praised Zhao Yan's knowledge as unparalleled in the world. The two of them had never doubted Xue Ning'er's words, so now when they heard that Zhao Yan was going to teach them, they immediately knelt down and saluted Zhao Yan: "Student meet sir!" ”

Seeing Xue Li and the two kneeling down, Zhao Yan was also taken aback, he had been a teacher for so long in later generations, but no student had ever knelt for him. This made him hurriedly help the two of them up and said: "You don't have to do this big gift, I just want to teach something, anyone can come and listen, and I can't be your teacher, and you will also enter the Guozi Prison to study in the future, I just want you to learn something different." ”

"Giggle~, husband doesn't have to be humble, the entire Great Song Dynasty knows that you are talented, if they can worship you as a teacher. I don't know how many scholars will be envious? Xue Ning'er opened her mouth to persuade at this time, as the so-called Heaven and Earth Monarch is a teacher, the relationship between teachers and students is actually no worse than that of father and son, if Xue Tao and Xue Li can worship Zhao Yan as a teacher, it will be a great thing.

Xue Li and Xue Tao were also very clever, and immediately knelt on the ground again when they heard their sister's words, which made Zhao Yan a little helpless, and finally had to speak: "That's it." You should study with me for a while, if you can satisfy me. It will not be too late to accept you as disciples then. ”

"Yes! Thank you sir! Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Xue Li and Xue Tao were also overjoyed, although Zhao Yan did not directly agree to accept them as disciples, but as long as there was this sentence, and they have always worked very hard when they study, and the gentlemen who invited them have always praised them for their intelligence and perseverance. So they believe that they can definitely satisfy their brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, the third brother and the fourth brother can study with you, can we also go together?" At this moment, the little girl with tears in her eyes when she saw Xue Ning just now suddenly said, this little girl is only eight years old at most. With a long round face, round eyes and a small nose, he looked very cute, and at this time he was looking at Zhao Yan with a pair of big eyes full of expectation.

"Haha, Sage Kong said that there is no class, but it's a pity that he excluded women, but I don't have any prejudice against women, if you want to hear it, you can also follow Xue Li and them!" Zhao Yan looked at the other party's cute appearance, and couldn't help laughing and said, the male and female defense in the Northern Song Dynasty was not as strict as in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was not a big deal for a few little girls to go to school with their cousins.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Seeing Zhao Yan agree, the cute little girl immediately cheered and shouted, and the other three girls also showed happy expressions, they didn't want to learn anything from Zhao Yan, they just felt that Zhao Yan, the king of the county, was approachable and very good to his sister, which made them finally relieved, although they were not very old, but the hardships they had suffered before made them more mature than their peers.

Xue Ning'er was also very happy to see that Zhao Yan and her younger brothers and sisters got along so happily when they met for the first time, and immediately introduced the names of these younger brothers and sisters to Zhao Yan in detail, and then Zhao Yan knew that the little girl who took the initiative to learn from herself was named Ya'er, and she was her cousin, in fact, Xue Ning'er and Xue Li were all of the same race, and they all had a bit of blood relationship with each other, coupled with their previous encounters, they almost became real brothers and sisters.

Zhao Yan asked people to set up a banquet to entertain Xue Ning'er's younger brothers and sisters, and personally took Xiao Siyue out, but as a result, Ya'er and these children happily revolved around Xiao Siyue, one by one, just like the original Xue wolf, they wanted to hug but didn't dare to hug, they could only look at Zhao Yan and Xue Ning'er with pitiful eyes, and finally Zhao Yan took the initiative to speak, let them all hug Siyue, and Xue Li and them were even more excited, and they were light on their hands and feet for fear of hurting Siyue.

After the banquet, Zhao Yan and Xue Ning'er personally took Xue Li and them to the residence, eight of the boys lived in the front yard, as for Ya'er, these girls lived in the same courtyard as Xue Ning'er, so that they could also talk to Xue Ning'er more, after all, after Siyue was born, she was indeed a little too lonely.

After arranging Xue Li's children, Xue Ning'er also had Ya'er's sisters to chat with, Zhao Yan did not disturb their sisters' reminiscence, and then went out of the courtyard to Shangshuizhuang, at this time, the tenants in Zhuangzi had already planted the spring vegetables, and the watering of the ground was finished, it can be said that the spring rush was basically over, and at this time, Shangshuizhuang was leisurely, and there were almost no people in the fields.

Zhao Yan took people directly to Wang Qi's house, but when he came to the other party's door, he was a little afraid to admit it, he had been to Wang Qi's house, and knew that although the other party was a Zhuangtou, but the family background was actually very ordinary, the whole family of eight was crowded in three thatched houses, but now Wang Qi's house is a big change, the original thatched house has become a blue brick and tile house, and there are two more side houses on both sides, even the gate has become a big wooden door with black paint, and the whole yard looks much more magnificent.

As soon as Zhao Yan entered Zhuangzi, there were already a few half-sized children running to report the news, and when he came to Wang Qi's door, Wang Qi had already gone out to greet him.

"County King, do you have any orders to send someone to call the villain, where do you want to come in person!" When Wang Qi saw Zhao Yan, he stepped forward to greet him with the same enthusiasm as ever.

"Hehe, it's boring to stay at home anyway, I came to you to discuss something, and I can relax by the way." Zhao Yan said with a smile, this is also the first time he has taken a close and serious look at Shangshuizhuang after returning from Liaoguo, and as a result, he only appeared at this time, in just one year, Shangshuizhuang has changed greatly, almost every household has renovated their houses, and the road has been releveled, and it is paved with thick cinders, so that you can walk even if it rains.

"If the king of the county has something to do, even if he commands, the villain will definitely do it!" Wang Qi immediately patted his chest when he heard Zhao Yan's words and assured that he was completely convinced by Zhao Yan, as long as it was something that Zhao Yan proposed, he would definitely not say anything.

"Hehe, in fact, it's not a big deal, now the life of Shangshui Village has become much better, except for the busy farming season, the rest of the time is very leisurely, especially the children in the Zhuangzi run crazy every day, and they don't even know a big word, so it's not a way to go on like this, so the king plans to open a private school next to the courtyard, so that the children in the Zhuangzi can learn a few words, at least they will write their own names, and they will also settle accounts when selling vegetables, so as not to be deceived and don't know." Zhao Yan said with a smile, he didn't say that reading was too lofty, and for tenants like Wang Qi, few people were willing to devote their whole family to supporting a scholar.

"Hey~, that's a great thing, usually we sell vegetables or grain every year, there are people who are pitted by the market, and what they eat is the loss of not being able to read and write, if our Zhuangzi children can read and settle accounts, they will no longer be afraid of eating other people's losses in the future!" Sure enough, when Wang Qi heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh and applauded.

Seeing that Wang Qi agreed very much, Zhao Yan was also very happy, and said with a smile: "Classes will officially start tomorrow, Wang Qi, you inform the people in the Zhuangzi, let those children who have time go to listen to it, don't ask them to be among the Jinshi or anything, as long as they can write and calculate, and they don't need the people in the Zhuangzi to spend a penny, the private school is in the yard where the old Suma raised livestock, and there are classes every morning and afternoon, so that the children don't delay." ”

"Don't worry, the villain will definitely inform everyone, I'm afraid everyone is rushing to go to such a good thing!" When Wang Qi heard that he didn't need to spend money, he rubbed his hands excitedly, and at the same time he had more respect for Zhao Yan in his heart, if anyone dared to say that Zhao Yan was not good, I am afraid that he would immediately take the people in the Zhuangzi and the other party to fight hard.

After leaving Shangshuizhuang, Zhao Yan passed the Qingshui River on the way back, when he stood on the bridge and looked at the river flowing below, he was a little hesitant for a while, and now he is ready, and then it depends on whether he can run the school? (To be continued!)
