Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Little Stone rushed into the classroom, panting and speaking with excitement in his eyes.

"Please come in, sir!"

She immediately collected her thoughts and quickly smoothed out the wrinkles on her clothes.

The windows of the classroom were all open. As soon as Liu entered the yard, she saw Shangguan Qingyue biting her finger. Her face was full of disapproval. How could this girl, who looked elegant, behave so vulgarly? !

With some dissatisfaction in his emotions, his tone became three points colder.

"Miss Shangguan? I am Liu, the daughter of the Liu family in the county. You can just call me Mr. Liu. I only reluctantly agreed to come here to teach for the sake of the county magistrate. I hope you won't let me down."

Tsk tsk, it seems like he’s not easy to get along with!

Shangguan Qingyue saluted respectfully:

“I have met Mr. Liu.

Those who come to the village to study are country kids who have never seen the world and are illiterate. They may act a little rudely and don’t know etiquette, but most of them have simple and clear minds. I hope you will be more tolerant and take the trouble to teach them.”

The little girl in front of me was wearing an ash-colored dress, her long hair simply tied up with a headband of the same color. She was not wearing any makeup, only a string of mellow pearls on her wrist.

She exudes a pure and elegant temperament. Although her appearance can only be described as pretty, she always makes people unable to take their eyes off her.

So she deliberately raised her chin and replied coldly:

"Since you know you are reckless, then learn some etiquette. It's not good to keep using your country identity as an excuse.

I have always been strict, not only to others but also to myself. If I punish someone, I hope no one will be dissatisfied."

The enthusiasm of the excited little Shitou had long since disappeared. He took advantage of his short stature and took small steps to retreat. When he reached the door, he immediately ran away as fast as he could.

Shangguan Qingyue stood opposite him and watched the whole process, feeling angry and amused. She couldn't help but mutter in her heart: What a heartless little thing!

"You are a teacher, so it is natural for you to punish students who have done something wrong. As long as you act properly and punish them in moderation, I think no one will object."

Although her words were respectful, they also contained a warning. Children are delicate flowers, and they cannot be trampled on by outsiders.

"Sir, you must be tired from traveling. I will take you to your room to rest. The small courtyard behind the school is the room specially prepared for you. You are the only one here at the moment, so you can use it at will.

However, if there are more students in the future, we may hire more people.”

When Liu heard that there might be someone else sharing the same courtyard with her, she paused and said:

"I don't like living with others, so you'd better make plans early!"

Shangguan Qingyue took a deep breath, suppressed the anger rising in her heart, and replied:

"We just share a house, and no one has his own room. I hope you can understand the difficulties of the countryside and that we don't have that much money to build a house."

She did not give the other party a chance to refute and continued:

"There is a piece of land on the east side of the school for growing vegetables. You don't need to take care of it. Students will take turns to take care of it. Please feel free to pick whatever you want to eat.

As for meat, the canteen of Wangyou Inn will send someone to deliver it to you every seven days. If it is not enough, you can buy it yourself.

Oh, by the way, the grocery store next to the inn sells everything, you can always go there to buy anything you need."

After talking for a long time, Shangguan Qingyue suddenly paused and asked:

"Do you have anything else you want to ask?"

Liu, who had been unable to get a word in, had already lost her temper. She snorted coldly before saying:

"I have never been in the kitchen, how can I cook? The county magistrate only asked me to come here to be a teacher, but I didn't expect that I would have to cook the meal myself!"

Shangguan Qingyue was almost laughing out of anger. Did they invite an ancestor over?

After biting her back teeth hard a few times, she smiled again and replied:

"If you don't know how to do it, you can just pay the inn to deliver meals to you every day. I have something else to do so I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."

If she doesn't leave, her face will become as black as the bottom of a pot!

Hey, the bottom of the pot is black, black!

She finally remembered what was missing in the classroom - a blackboard!

She was happy for only three seconds before she started to frown again. How could she make this blackboard?

Because the books were very expensive, a copy of "Thousand Character Classic" cost one or two taels of silver. Li Shoucai, who was in charge of the finances of the village school, only bought two copies for the teacher.

I spent three taels of silver to buy ten dollars of medium-quality white paper, thinking that I would copy the book after the children had practiced writing. After the book was copied, it could be kept in the school and used forever!

Shangguan Qingyue was not a saint, although she made a lot of money by cooperating with Shangpin Pavilion. In addition, Baili Nanqing would occasionally give her silver bills of different denominations, and her purse was getting fatter and fatter, but she couldn't just take the money out casually.

She always keeps in mind the principle of repaying kindness with resentment.

It would be different if there was a blackboard. The teacher only needed to use lime to write on the wall, and all the students could easily see it.

Not only does it save money, but the learning efficiency is also greatly improved.

So she thought about it and finally decided to go to Old Man Liu to discuss it.

Riding on the donkey Xiaohua, we leisurely walked on the country road. The stones that were once sharp have now become much rounder and fit perfectly with the soil, so we no longer have to worry about hurting our feet.

The Oxalis on both sides of the road are blooming with small flowers, and you can even smell the faint fragrance of the flowers when the breeze blows.

The field next to the village school is full of sunflower buds, which look golden and make people happy.

I wonder what the scenery will be like when the autumn harvest comes.

At this moment, several horses came galloping from a distance, and Donkey Xiaohua hid on the side of the road very alertly. Because he was dissatisfied with the other party's disturbance, hot air kept coming out of his nose.

Shangguan Qingyue took a handful of fried soybeans from her bag and put them to its mouth. Xiaohua, who smelled the aroma, finally calmed down and skillfully wrapped the beans with her lips and put them into her mouth, chewing happily, making sure not a single bean fell to the ground.

Xuanyuan Yan came closer and tightened the reins to stop the horse. He opened his mouth and said:

"Have you been playing the piano well these days? I'll go to the inn soon and I'll check it out."

Shangguan Qingyue: ...

She didn't have to take the college entrance examination, so why did she still feel such a heavy sense of urgency? !

"Sir, you are tired from traveling so you should go back to the inn and have a good rest. Can we talk about playing the piano tomorrow? I have something very important to discuss with Grandpa Liu."

Xuanyuan Yan raised his eyebrows. This girl ignored him and went to find that old man. Did she underestimate her own ability?

"What's the matter? Tell me, maybe I can be of help."

"Well, I want to make a blackboard in the school, the kind that you can write on with lime and wipe off with a cloth after writing."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yan asked in surprise:

"How did you come up with this idea? The word 'blackboard' is really appropriate."

The guard beside him couldn't help but ask:

"Could it be that Miss Shangguan has heard about military affairs? This thing was invented by a very wise military advisor just to facilitate the viewing of strategic layouts."

If he wasn't still riding on the horse, Xuanyuan Yan really wanted to kick the guard a few times.

"Erhu, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

The guard regretted his words as soon as they came out of his mouth. For some reason, his vigilance would be greatly reduced as soon as he returned to the village!

This shortcoming must be overcome quickly, otherwise if His Highness encounters any danger here, he will be guilty of death!

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I will take my brothers away now and will not disturb you from talking with Miss Shangguan."
