Married a scholar

Chapter 161

▍ Marriage and Enrollment.

Xia Wenze's heart was very ironed, as if drinking a pot of warm tea in the cold winter months, he felt that his whole body was soaked in it.From body to heart, warm.

Xia Wenze reached out and hugged Meng Yining into his arms, causing Meng Yining to exclaim, "You... eh???!!" Her soft lips were blocked, Meng Yining opened her eyes wide, What is this for? ?

Xia Wenze's black eyes were full of deep affection, and those emotions entwined towards Meng Yining, directly intruding into his heart, tightly entwining him round and round.

Meng Yining closed his eyes in a daze.

When Meng Yining regained consciousness again, Meng Yining didn't know how he was carried from the chair in the study to the bed in the bedroom by this man. The singing of birds outside was pleasant, and the room was peaceful. "What time is it?"

Xia Wenze opened the bedside table, took out the mobile phone inside, and read skillfully: "Eleven thirty."

"It's noon." Meng Yining got up from his arms, and lightly pulled his hair, "You've learned prostitution all day long, you've failed."

Xia Wenze chuckled, sat up and helped him put on his clothes, "Yes, I've failed."

Meng Yining laughed out loud and rolled his eyes, "From your tone, you seem quite proud?"

Xia Wenze smiled and got up together, "Let's go, let's eat first."

After lunch, Brother Yi gathered those who were not busy at home in the front yard. Xia Wenze didn't come out of the study, and he still had some books to read.

Meng Yining was standing at the entrance of the hall. Seeing that everyone from the family had come, he signaled them to be quiet, "It's nothing else to ask you to come today. I have been busy with you young master for the past two years. There are some things at home. I didn't even think about it, so I just took advantage of the time now, and I said everything I should say."

Everyone in the yard looked at Meng Yining.

Meng Yining said: "I see that there are many brothers and girls who have reached the age of marriage in the family."

Many people in the courtyard were a little apprehensive, afraid of hearing something they didn't want to hear.

"I'll just talk about this today. When you get married at an old age, if you fall in love with the person you like in your own family, you will naturally be happy. I will prepare a dowry and dowry for you young master. If you look If someone from outside the family is involved, the other party has to sell themselves to enter our house, and the other party's character has to pass the test. Of course, if you behave well, your children have the ability to be admitted to the scholar, and the selling of your family I'll give it back to you."

Seeing everyone's disbelief, Meng Yining smiled and said, "The private schools in the village, I will tell the patriarch and the village chief to let your children and children who are now at school age go to study, whether it is a brother Boys and girls can go. Alright, that’s all for now, brother Yi, you and brother Xing will be in charge of the marriage matters at home, and when the time comes, register and show me, and the children who can go to school will also be registered.”

After finishing speaking, Meng Yining turned around and walked towards his small courtyard, regardless of how excited and unbelievable the family members were when they heard the news.

The Northern Jin Dynasty did not prohibit slaves and servants from going to school, as long as their masters allowed it, and brothers and girls could also go to private schools to learn characters, as long as their families allowed, and private schools were willing to accept them.

But the general head of the family will not let the family's son go to school. At most, he will choose a companion of the same age for the kid in the family, and this companion will learn something.

Not to mention the return of the family's contract of sale after being admitted to the scholar.

In the private school in Shangyao Village, there are no boys and girls to go to school. Of course, it’s not that the private school doesn’t want to accept it, but because the family has no money. Another thing is that everyone thinks that girls and boys are going to marry, so what’s the use of learning to read? , as long as you marry a good family.

With that money, why not let the kid in the family go to school.Even with those enlightened parents, it's just a matter of letting the girl in the family go in and read a few words.

This is actually the common thinking of many rural people in this era.

The original owner's ability to read was due to the knowledge of the original owner's father. The original owner's mother never thought about it.

Meng Yining came from this world, so naturally he would not have such foolish thoughts.

It doesn't matter to other places, but in Shangyao Village, or in his own home, he hopes that everyone who can go to school can go to private school to study hard.

Before Meng Yining could reach the study, Brother Yi said that the village chief was here.

"You ask the village chief to wait in the front hall for a while, and we'll come right over."

Meng Yining went into the house and called Xia Wenze, "The village chief is here."

"Okay." Xia Wenze got up and took his hand, "Is the matter over?"

"It's over." Meng Yining said: "The next step is that you have to talk to the village chief. The private school in the village will be bigger. You can discuss with the clan about how to build it. By the way, I will talk a little more temporarily. , that is, I want all the children in the family to study in private schools. Tell the village head about this as well."

Meng Yining looked up at him, "It's all the children in the family, including the girls. So in the future, when looking for a husband, you must look for someone who is enlightened."

Some teachers have stinky brains, smelly and hard, they only teach boys, they don't want to teach girls at all, they think they are going to marry, they just need to learn how to care for their husbands and children, and follow the saying that no talent is virtue pedantic thinking.

"Okay." Xia Wenze nodded, "How did you come up with this idea?" He didn't think there was anything wrong with a girl who could read and write.Didn't you see that those big families even specially ask female gentlemen to teach the brothers and girls in the family to play piano, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy, and housekeepers?

Only the ignorant people in the countryside think that brothers and girls don't need to read and write.

"First of all, there are many children in the family. It's okay to work with adults at a young age. It can't be like this for a lifetime? I think there are a few children in it who are quite clever, so I want to let them learn something. If they learn well, they can Wouldn't it be better to get ahead? Of course, if it doesn't work, it would be nice to learn something to help us when the time comes, wouldn't it? It's better to have a child at home than to buy it from outside."

It's not that he is selfless, the sweet dates are hanging in front, and those who get them will naturally be extremely grateful to them, and it is considered a good deed.If you don't get it, you can't complain about them, and you will also be grateful to them in your heart.

Anyway, he didn't lose anything, it was just a matter of spending some money.

Xia Wenze understood what he meant, "I'll talk to the village head about this later." The village head would definitely not disagree, on the contrary, he might wish they had something to do with the private school in the village.

In the hall, after hearing what Xia Wenze said, the village chief agreed without hesitation, "This is a good thing. As for how to build the private school, I will discuss it with the clan at that time. Right now, our Xia family is the only one in the private school in the village. With the children of the two clans of the Meng clan, they are in their clan on the Zhao clan, but if they see the private school being built, they might come over and talk about it."

With Uncle An Ning behind him, he knew that the private school in the village would not hire ordinary people, and it was strange that Mrs. Zhao was not jealous.

"Mr. Zhao doesn't study in the village school anymore?" Meng Yining and Xia Wenze were a little surprised. They only knew that Mr. Zhao had a quarrel with Mr. Meng and Mrs. Xia, and even Mr. Xia and Mr. Meng wanted to drive Mrs. Zhao away. It's out of Shangyao Village, but they thought they were just a part of the Zhao family, but they didn't expect it to be the whole Zhao family?

"Hey, this is caused by people from the Zhao family." The village head said: "We didn't think about this at first, and not everyone in the Zhao family is like this. Besides, the three clans came here for a total of 200 It’s been a year, and we’re both married to each other, so we won’t make trouble like this any more. We mainly quarreled with the patriarch of the Zhao clan and Lao Juren. Later, I don’t know what they thought, so that the entire Zhao clan followed Our Xia Clan and Meng Clan have broken up, and even some of the married ones are making peace."

The village head was also very helpless, this matter was originally provoked by Zhao's side, and they also backed down, but Zhao's side refused to let go, and finally made such an ugly mess.

Meng Yining and Xia Wenze looked at each other, and they didn't bother to ask more about the cause of this matter. It was very troublesome to hear it, so let the village chief and the others worry about it. Please worry about it, Si Bo and the family."

"Why bother, you are doing this for the good of our entire Shangyao Village." The village head was in a very good mood at the moment.

"There is one more thing that needs to be discussed with the Meng and Xia clans, fourth uncle," Xia Wenze said.

Village head: "What's the matter, tell me."

Xia Wenze said softly: "Ning'er and I have four quotas for yin students. I thought that none of us could go to the court to be an official, so I thought about giving these four quotas to the clan and letting the clan choose The four who are well-educated are sent to the Imperial City Imperial College to study."

"What????" The village head suspected that he had heard wrong.

Xia Wenzhe said it again.

The village chief understood now, his face was flushed with excitement, and he also stood up and walked around the hall, "You don't need it?"

"I don't need Ning'er here."

The village chief walked around and rubbed his hands together, "Four places?"

Xia Wenze nodded, "Yes."

The village head was so excited that his voice was a little trembling, "I have to go back and discuss this matter with the clan." That's going to the Imperial City Imperial College to study, which is simply a step up to the sky for rural people like them.

The village head is a little dizzy at the moment.

"Okay, the village chief will go back and discuss with the two clans of the Meng family and the Xia family. Once they are selected, let me know. I will have someone escort them to the imperial city when the time comes."

The village head said: "Then I'll go back first, is that all?"

Meng Yining held back a laugh.

Xia Wenze nodded with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll go back. You are busy." The village chief walked away quickly after speaking.

Meng Yining smiled and said, "The village chief is really dedicated to the whole village."

Xia Wenze nodded.The village chiefs of Shangyao Village have always chosen honest people.

After sending the village head away, the two went on to do what they had to do.

Xia Wenze had to take advantage of these two days to read through the account books. He still had two copies of the few lonely copies he got back from Emperor Mingyou's house, so he had to finish copying them quickly and send them to the husband.

Meng Yining first took a look at the soaked corn seeds, brought some snacks from the kitchen and returned to the study, and continued to write about the next thing to do.

He had to list them all, lest they be forgotten in time.

And the village head took the wind all the way to the patriarch's house of the Xia clan, and then asked people to find the clan elders and patriarchs from the Meng clan.

Of the four shade students, the Xia family and the Meng family must have two each.

Everyone has to discuss who to choose, and these four precious places cannot be wasted.
