Zhang Zhi was so angry that he wanted to scold her. How could there be such a selfish woman?

Shen Nanzhi raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you want to do? Don't forget that we signed the document. If you dare to quit, you have to compensate me ten times the silver, two hundred taels, and then you can leave.

You are a teacher, but you are so bold to meddle in the affairs of your master's family."

Master Yuan stroked his beard and thought for a while, then said, "There's no rush for this. Huai'en is a good candidate and can learn from me. Zhang Zhi, what about you? Are you willing to learn from me?"

Zhang Zhi was ecstatic: "The students are willing."

Shen Nanzhi said: "Hey, he has a bad temper and likes to scold people. If you accept him, you have to be careful."

Zhang Zhi: "I didn't, I just insisted on what I believed to be right and justice. I wouldn't curse people for no reason. Girl, please don't slander me."

Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "Then you should be more polite to me in the future. Master Yuan treats me the best. You are just extras. If you don't believe me, ask the Master."

"That's right. I accept students for two reasons: first, to select good talents, and second, to find a few senior brothers for Nan Zhi to support her in the future.

Zhang Zhi, can you take care of Nan Zhi like your fellow junior sister?"

Zhang Zhi hesitated a little, "I don't think she needs anyone to take care of her. On the contrary, we all rely on her for food. Master, you got it wrong."

Master Yuan: "What do you know? Prepare for a rainy day. Nanzhi is not in any danger now. We just need to stay in the county town. We don't need too much power. What about the future?"

If I leave the county, face the whole country, and go to the capital, can I still be like this?

Shen Nanzhi didn't know that the teacher had such high expectations of her, otherwise he would definitely regard her as a close friend. She is worthy of being a teacher, with such a high vision.

Zhang Zhi knelt down and kowtowed: "Student is willing."

Shen Nanzhi's eyes flashed, and he said, "Master, do you still remember Xiao Song? Take him in as well. Xiao Song is not a bad kid, but he just needs someone to teach him well. You can carve a rough jade into a beautiful jade. If you can also polish a stubborn stone, it will show your ability even more, right?"

"Xiao Song? That kid is not good at studying."

"Who is born to be a scholar? Not everyone enters the academy for the purpose of studying. It is also for making connections and learning some worldly wisdom. What Xiao Song lacks is an opportunity. Master, just agree to let Master Song provide you with the best food, clothing and daily necessities."

"You are just too kind. Ming'er asked Xiao Song to come to me."

"Master is the best."

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but act coquettishly and felt close to Master Yuan like an elder.

The three students waiting outside were already impatient. What was the teacher doing? It was ridiculous to admit students and let women see them first, and he even left them outside. The teacher was really too willful.

But he didn't dare to leave, as it would give the teacher the impression that he was disrespectful to his teachers and would ruin his reputation in the academy.

Danier played Gobang with her sisters. Shen Nanzhi taught them how to play Gobang. The students were gradually attracted to it. "Kids, how do you play this game? Let's play together."

Danier smiled slyly: "Sure, but if you lose you have to give a reward, you can't play for nothing."

"Okay, I'll give you some silver. Ten cents for each bet."

"make a deal."

When Master Yuan and his companions came out, they saw three students who looked like they had lost their parents. Their clothes were soaking wet and their eyes were wild, like gamblers who had lost all their money and were desperate.

"What is this for?"

Da Ni'er was a little scared, "Sister Shen, they insisted on playing Gobang, and they paid ten cents for each loss, but they couldn't even beat Er Ni'er, let alone me.

We said we didn’t want to play anymore and we were still not happy. No one would rush to give us money.”

The students calmed down a little after seeing Master Yuan. "Master, I am sorry for the inconvenience. This little chess game is too profound and we underestimated our opponent."

Shen Nanzhi laughed, "Isn't that underestimating the enemy? If you can't beat any of the kids, don't spread the word that you are a scholar who is good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

The three people were so ashamed that their initial arrogance disappeared and they covered their faces and left.

Shen Nanzhi was amused by their actions, "Isn't this just like trying to cover up one's own faults? Isn't this embarrassing?"

Master Yuan also found it funny, but he was also interested in Gobang: "Which of you two wants to play a game with me?"

Shen Huai'en said: "Let me do it."

Zhang Zhi retreated. He was really not good at this and had to lose to the kids. He didn't know why this chess game was so weird. The kids could play well but he couldn't.

After the teacher taught them the rules, the two of them played chess seriously, but there was no clear winner.

Shen Nanzhi felt sleepy after watching this: "I'm going to go back and rest. You guys can do whatever you want."

……

When Xiao Song learned that Shen Nanzhi was looking for him, he came over immediately, "Nanzhi, what are you busy with? You didn't even come to see me. I have new friends in the academy. Fang Cheng treats me very well. You don't have to worry about me."

"Fang Cheng is indeed much better than Jiang Chen. He is warm and generous and worth making friends with. I asked you to come here to help you find a new teacher.

Do you still remember Master Yuan in our town? He is a powerful teacher who hides himself. He is now the deputy headmaster of Bailu Academy. I have told him to accept you as his apprentice. You should prepare the apprenticeship gift and go find him. "

"Master Yuan?"

Xiao Song was a little scared. When he was a child, he was often slapped on the palm by Master Yuan. Master Yuan was very strict and was his childhood nightmare.

Shen Nanzhi: "You don't want to? That's fine. So many people have begged you to accept him. I'm also risking my dignity to speak well of you. If you don't want to go, just forget it. Just ignore what I said.

It's good for you this way. With Master Song's huge fortune, even a fool will have enough to eat and drink. I'm overthinking it. You can go back now."

Xiao Song felt extremely guilty. Nan Zhi always considered him, so how could he be a waste and let Nan Zhi down?

"I go!"

Shen Nanzhi: "You should think it through. Your senior brothers are all talented and the teacher is strict. If you can't keep up with the class and find it hard to learn, it's better not to go. People don't live for many years, so it's good to be comfortable."

The more she said this, the more Xiao Song insisted on going. Shen Nanzhi sent him away with a smile. This trick has always been effective against Xiao Song.

Master Yuan accepted a disciple, and the two he accepted were the extremely poor Zhang Zhi and the stupid Song Bojian, which shocked all the students.

Because Shen Huai'en had a body indenture and was still Shen Nanzhi's man, he was not a free citizen and could not worship him as a teacher for the time being, so he taught him privately.

Jiang Chen was also surprised. He knew Mr. Yuan in the town, but he had never dealt with him. He didn't even know that Mr. Yuan had such a great background and was directly appointed as the headmaster.

He also wanted to become Mr. Yuan's disciple, which would be of great benefit to his reputation and his future imperial examinations.

Jiang Chen prepared a gift and was full of confidence. He and the gentleman had met each other several times, and the gentleman must have appreciated him more as a struggling farmer from a poor family.
