Grandma Jin thought it made sense. She was also confused by the situation, so she said excitedly, "You have an idea. I was so busy talking about my daughter that I forgot to talk about the real thing. Don't you want to be a teacher?

I found it for you. As for whether you can stay, it depends on how you talk.

This gentleman is also a scholar, just 23 years old, young and promising, but he is too stubborn and can't get along well with his classmates. My father-in-law calls him stubborn. He likes his talent but is worried about his temper. If he is so upright, won't he be ostracized to death in the officialdom? "

Shen Nanzhi was speechless. This is the real business, okay?

"What's your name, sir?"

"My surname is Zhang, my name is Zhang Zhi, and my courtesy name is Zhengyi."

Shen Nanzhi: "..."

It's really weird. You can tell what kind of person he is just by his name.

"Thank you very much. I'm leaving now. You have to worry about my daughter. Raising children is like this. The debt of the previous life must be repaid in this life. So it has to be a biological child. You have to endure it."

Grandma Jin couldn't help but laugh: "That's right, if I hadn't given birth to this child, I would have slapped him to death long ago."

Shen Nanzhi said goodbye and left. When Jin Xuan'er saw her mother walk in with a smile on her face, she was no longer angry.

"Mother, what did you say?"

"Anyway, I can't tell you, or my mother will be mad to death. Tell her about the teacher I found for her."

Jin Xuan'er also knew this person, "That Zhang Zhi? Would he be willing to teach?"

"It all depends on Miss Shen's ability. I introduced him to him because I wanted to help him. I don't know why, but I think it's feasible."

Miss Shen gave her the feeling that nothing was too difficult for her, and Grandma Jin was a little looking forward to it.

Shen Nanzhi was also looking forward to the new teacher and was waiting at home without going out.

Shen Huai'en was reading a book very seriously, and he really seemed to understand it.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't stay idle, so he teased her, "Huai En, can you understand?"

Shen Huai'en raised his eyelids and glanced at her, his eyes full of interest and an expression as if he wanted to stir up trouble.

"If you don't understand, just look at it blindly. What else can I do? Stare at you?"

Shen Nanzhi thought so too. His face looked ugly and it must be a torture to face it every day. It was hard for Huai En.

His face is getting more and more attractive the more you look at it. He has gained some weight recently and looks more like a wealthy young man.

"You want to read a book. I have a good one here. Wait for me to give it to you."

Shen Nanzhi thought of the wall of books that decorated her study. Many of them were pure classical Chinese, such as Records of the Grand Historian, Compendium of Materia Medica, and the Four Great Classical Novels.

I first picked out a few books on Records of the Grand Historian. This era is fictional, so there should be no problem. There are also Dream of the Red Chamber, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Journey to the West, which are enough for him to read for a few days.

Shen Huai'en didn't have much hope. It was good enough that she could recognize words. What kind of treasured books could she have collected?

As a result, after flipping through two pages, I was immediately attracted and was so fascinated by it that I even forgot to chat with her.

It was at this time that Zhang Zhi was brought in by the doorman. He was wearing a patched gown, had a proud look on his face, and a look of readiness to find trouble at any time between his eyebrows.

"Are you looking for a teacher? What about the child? I need to observe the child first, and then consider whether to teach him or not?"

Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, I have heard of your name for a long time. Please sit down and have a cup of tea before we talk. Otherwise, I will say that my family does not know how to entertain guests."

"it is good."

It was still okay to drink tea. Zhang Zhi sat down. Shen Nanzhi took out the best tea from the bottom of the box. It was from the space. It was the best pre-rain Longjing tea bought in the previous life. The water used was also replaced with snow mountain water. He brewed a pot of tea himself.

The fragrance of tea wafted in the air, and Shen Huai'en sniffed: "Good tea, girl, you still hide such good tea, and you are reluctant to let me drink it."

"Yes, good tea should be given to gentlemen. It's good enough that you have tea to drink. Mr. Zhang, I forgot to introduce you. This is my housekeeper, Shen Huai'en. You can go to him for household matters in the future.

As for me, Shen Nanzhi, you should have heard of it too."

Zhang Zhi said: "Of course, I have also watched the trial, you are right to divorce, and your character is not bad, otherwise I would not have come."

Shen Nanzhi wanted to curse, he was still examining his own character, it's true that scholars have so many trivial things to worry about.

He forced a smile and said, "Drink tea, thank you for the compliment."

Shen Huai'en also held out his cup, so Shen Nanzhi had to pour him a cup as well. They both showed expressions of enjoyment. This tea was really delicious and had a unique cool and refreshing feeling of ice and snow. It was a good tea that could not be found in any teahouse on the market.

Zhang Zhi praised: "The tea at the county magistrate's house is not as good as this one. Thank you for your hospitality."

"Sir, if you stay, you can drink this tea every day. I will provide you with accommodation, three meals a day, two servants, and two taels of silver per month as a stipend. Is that okay?"

Zhang Zhi was tempted, but still insisted: "Look at the students first."

“They are all children, what’s the difference?”

"Of course there are. It is said that a child's character can be seen at the age of three. If he is diligent and intelligent, it will be easier to teach him. If he is stupid and unwilling to learn, then it will be difficult.

I still have to continue my imperial examinations and won't spend too much time on useless people."

Shen Nanzhi shook his head: "A good teacher can teach students according to their aptitude. It is a skill to carve a piece of rotten wood into something useful. Why would a good student need you to teach him?"

"You don't have to flatter me. This is my principle."

"Okay, San Gouzi, go find Niu Debao and the others. The gentleman is here, so please dress up."

Don't come here covered in mud and with a runny nose, or everything will be ruined.

"Okay, I'll go now."

San Gouzi felt that his master's knowledge was already very impressive and there was no need to hire another teacher. However, his master was very busy and might not be able to teach so many children. The girl hired a new teacher because she felt sorry for her master.

Zhang Zhi drank another cup of tea, and snacks were brought in from the kitchen. Today's snacks were mung bean cakes, lotus cakes, red bean green dumplings, and small crispy biscuits, all of which were suitable for summer eating.

"Mr. Zhang, you're welcome. Have some snacks. They're all homemade. They don't taste as good as in a teahouse."

After she said that, Zhang Zhi took the chopsticks and took a bite. The mung bean cake was soft and fragrant, not overly sweet. It was surprisingly delicious.

Not to mention the lotus pastry, it is crispy and delicious, and has the fragrance of lotus leaves, which clears up my drowsy mind.

The red bean green rice balls are made of glutinous rice. They are soft, sweet and melt in the mouth. Zhang Zhi looked at her strangely. Is this what she said was not delicious?

That's a bit too modest.

The cook brought food to the children in the backyard. The children's laughter could be heard. Zhang Zhi put down his chopsticks and asked, "How many children do you have at home?"

"They were beggars who lived here before. I bought the house, so it would be hard to chase them away. So I kept them here to provide them with food, which was also a good deed.

What you need to teach are the four children of my uncle Niu. As for whether there will be more students in the future, it depends on the situation.

The main purpose is to enlighten them. If they are really good at studying, then we will train them separately.”

"Well, Miss Shen is kind-hearted. I heard that you also know Master Ning Wu and you have a close relationship with him."

Shen Nanzhi felt a little bit screwed. Hiring a gentleman was like checking his household registration. This man was really difficult to please.
