Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

The clan school built dormitories specifically for the teachers, which were the four small courtyards in the back row, each with three main rooms, two on the left and two on the right. One side was for living, and the other side was for the kitchen and utility room.

Of course, the area is definitely not as big as Liu's. A small courtyard is about 150 square meters, which can accommodate five or six people in the family.

For this purpose, the villagers specially asked Zhu Jiacheng to arrange a few people to build a kang in the room.

Knowing that the Master was coming, he had been preparing firewood over the past few days.

The path was paved with stone slabs, and there were some evergreen shrubs planted on both sides, all of which were brought back from the mountains by the uncles, aunts and brothers from Liujia Village.

Several people came to one of the houses, and Liu Dahai took the key to open the gate.

"Master Tang, you and your family will live here from now on. If you need any help, feel free to tell me."

Tang Zhiqiu and his family of three were shocked when they saw the yard in front of them. When their family was well off, they lived in a similar environment, right?

There are some simple furniture in the house, all made by the villagers themselves. If they can't do delicate work, they will do rough work and help Liu Dongxiang and others who are good at carpentry.

Whether in the school or in the teacher's dormitory at the back, the tables, chairs, benches and so on were all made by the men of Liujia Village, young and old.

In Liu Xu's words, these teachers just need to pack their bags and move in.

After handing the keys to the school and the courtyard to Tang Zhiqiu, Liu Xu and others said goodbye and left.

Tang Zhiqiu led his mother and son into the courtyard slowly. The two main rooms were fully equipped with daily necessities and were decorated simply and warmly.

The mother and her two children put away their luggage and looked around the yard carefully. The kitchen had already prepared food for this month, as well as some oil and salt. Although it was not much, it was enough for them to eat for several days. In the yard, there was firewood that the villagers had prepared.

The village chief said that in the future, every family in the village who has children going to school will send a load of firewood to the teacher, and each family will take turns sending one load a day.

The wing rooms are empty and can be arranged by the person moving in.

Tang's mother wiped her eyes gently, her voice trembling a little, "Zhiqiu, you must teach these children well, and don't let Miss Liu and the Liu family down."

Tang Zhiqiu nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, mother. I will do my best."

The young boy Tang Shuo standing by looked at the new environment, his eyes no longer silent, and his heart seemed to be illuminated by a light.

"Dad, we will all live here in the future. We don't have to go back to the hut anymore, right?" Tang Shuo asked with some anticipation.

"Yes, Shuo'er, Dad will be a teacher here in the future. This courtyard is prepared by the Liu family for teachers. You and grandma can live here with peace of mind. When the school opens, you can study with everyone."

Tang Zhiqiu touched his son's head and replied gently, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

Previously, due to financial pressure, he had no time to teach his son properly. Fortunately, his son was diligent and hardworking, and he learned all the enlightenment books.

Liu Xu and others didn't know how Tang Zhiqiu's family felt.

Now the academy is still lacking teachers who can teach needlework and martial arts.

Liu Dahai and Liu Xu returned to the Liu family compound together. They discussed on the way and decided to temporarily let Nanny Chun and He Feng serve as teachers of these two subjects.

Currently, these two classes only last for one hour in the morning and afternoon each day.

When Liu Xu and He Feng were talking, the boy was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement, making He Lei on the side envious.

"Miss, why is it my brother and not me? I think I can do it too." He Lei muttered.

As a result, he received a death stare from his brother, and Liu Xu rolled her eyes at him, "Don't you know what's going on?"

If she let He Lei be the teacher, she was afraid that he would teach a bunch of idiots.

He Lei curled his lips and dared not say anything more.

Liu Xu went to ask Madam Chun for advice, and the old lady was very supportive of it.

But Madam Chun was a little hesitant, "This, can this old slave teach well?"

"Yingchun, have you forgotten that you were the one who taught Yueyue half of her needlework?" The old lady smiled gently.

"Besides, these children don't need to learn a lot of skills, just one skill is enough."

Only then did Nanny Chun nod in agreement.

The next day, the clan school officially opened.

When the Chen time arrived, Liu Dahai had people set off firecrackers and held an opening ceremony.

He first gave a series of old-fashioned speeches, and then introduced the three teachers, Tang Zhiqiu, He Feng, and Nanny Chun, to everyone.

All the villagers from Liujia Village who were watching the scene were smiling happily.

The tofu shop started work early. Liu Changshun saw that the tofu was almost ready, so he let the workers take a break for a stick of incense so that he could watch.

As a representative of the teachers, Tang Zhiqiu stepped forward and talked about the rules of the school. After that, he recorded the basic information of the children, which is the so-called registration.

It has to be said that our village chief is quite capable. I don't know how he fooled people, no, he persuaded them, but all the children in Liujia Village who were aged between five and twelve were sent here.

Among them are Xing'er and Shuisheng.

As for Liu Xu, Xu Ruolan wanted her to come as well, but Miss Liu said, "I have a master, and I practice calligraphy every day. Even if I learn needlework, can't mother teach me? As for literature, mother, you forgot that I studied there for a long time. If I go to class, I'm afraid I will upset the teacher!"

That's right, I'm that confident! After all, I'm a graduate from a university, with 5,000 years of cultural accumulation, how can I be inferior to an ancient scholar like you?

Xu Ruolan thought about it and finally nodded.

However, since then, Ye Miaoyin added calligraphy practice for Liu Xu... one hour every day, and Miss Liu was miserable because of it.

"Liujia Village now has a clan school!"

"The teacher of the clan school is a juren!"

"I heard that both boys and girls in their village can go!"

"Of course not! It is said that there are teachers who specialize in teaching needlework and kung fu!"

"Is Liujia Village so developed?"

"Oh, you don't know, their village is called quietly making a fortune. My daughter's husband's cousin's wife is from Liujia Village. I heard from my daughter that there is a workshop in their village. The Laoqiao tofu sold in our town recently is from Liujia Village."

"Not only that, I heard there's an embroidery workshop in their village. Now, all the ordinary ready-made clothes in the county and town are made there. I bought one for my mother during the Chinese New Year. Not only is the quality good, but the price is half the price of previous years!"

"Why is it so much cheaper? Is it possible that the product is not good?"

"I've already told you, the quality is excellent. If you don't believe me, go to Cui Jin Lou and see for yourself. There's three pounds of new cotton inside!"

"Really? Then let's go and take a look too!"

As the daughters and sons-in-law of the Liu family who came to sell tofu left, various news about Liujia Village gradually spread.

However, the village chief had already organized people to patrol, and Liujia Village had a special geographical location with only one entrance. Those who wanted to find out the news were stopped before they even entered the village.

The mountain to the south is not high, but the doors of everyone's houses in the village face it, so they can see what's happening on the opposite side at a glance.

So for several days in a row, you didn't let those people enter the village.
