"Hello, sir!"

"Sir, you're here!"

"gentlemen……"

……

Outside the school, everyone had not seen Mr. Lu Yuan, but when they got inside, there were fewer people and they could definitely see him.

Among them were adults and children, some reserved, some happy, and they greeted them with different reactions.

"Yeah." Lu Yuan pursed her lips and nodded pretending to be calm, but in fact, the hands in her sleeves had already clenched into fists with nervousness.

After dealing with everyone and arriving at the office, his palms were sweating. As soon as the door closed, his straight body couldn't help but relax. "Wow, there are so many people!"

Lu Yuan had seen this before when there were more people around, and she had never been so nervous before, because this time was different.

This was his first time facing students and their elders as a teacher, and he couldn't help but worry that he wouldn't perform well enough to convince others that he was qualified to be a teacher.

After all, in today's world, who among those who can become a teacher has not attended a proper private school and passed the imperial examination? At the very least, he has the title of a student. What's more, most of those who can become teachers are scholars and juren, not to mention those who may be great scholars in the academy. What's more, there are many who are jinshi and have served as officials.

Compared with those people, he first lost in terms of gender, that is, the people in Zhuangzi were poorer than people elsewhere. Otherwise, who would be willing to let him be a teacher to teach their children?

Even if there is, I am afraid they would not be willing to make it public, but keep it private. After all, if this matter gets out, if their children become officials in the future, who knows how many people will laugh at them.

Lu Yuan was not without his worries about this problem, so he initially thought of just teaching the girls and boys to read and write, but later he felt that doing so would not be good for those boys.

Besides, if he really only accepted girls and boys as students, those families would probably not send their children to study. After all, in the eyes of most people, girls and boys are meant to get married.

Once a person is married off, it is like water spilled, which can never be taken back. To them, they are no different from money-losing goods. Therefore, before they get married, most people will not invest too many resources in them. Instead, they will squeeze the value of the girls and boys as much as possible. When they reach the age of marriage, they will let them go to their husband's family after squeezing out the last bit of value from them.

Better families might be able to support their daughters and sons, but in this world, it is said that a married woman belongs to her husband's family. If the husband's family is tough enough, even if they beat someone to death, the girl's family may not be able to get justice.

After all, this world is unfair to girls and boys. It is better to rely on yourself to learn more skills than to rely on your parents' family. Whether you get married or not in the future, you will have an extra way out.

Xiao Li wiped the sweat from his palms with a handkerchief. "Yuan'er, you've done a great job. When the school's reputation spreads, more and more people will come to study. Then Yuan'er will have to face even more people."

"Will anyone come here to study?" Lu Yuan thought about it and felt that it was unlikely. "We are close to the capital. There are so many private schools in the city, and there are also academies nearby. Who would come here to study?

Besides, there are only a few teachers here, and they are all commoners without any official titles. Those who are able to come here to study must be from wealthy families. Why would they leave those serious teachers and come to us?

My dear husband, please don't try to make me happy at this time. I know myself well and won't think about things that don't belong to me. I know you love me, but if you try to make me happy like this, what if I take it seriously? What if it can't be realized by then...

I will be sad. ”

What Lu Yuan said was true. He was not a man with lofty ambitions. Before he got married, all he wanted was to have enough food and clothing, and to meet a husband who would allow him to bring his little father with him. After he got married, all he wanted was a harmonious family and a few children of his own. It was only in recent years, when he had a comfortable life, that he thought about helping those equally pitiful girls and boys.

How could Xiao Li not know what he was thinking, but he himself probably didn't know how bright the light in his eyes was when he talked about teaching and educating people. When people saw it, they couldn't help but want to keep it in his eyes.

Xiao Li thought so and tried hard to move forward in that direction. "Whether I have coaxed Yuan'er or not, won't Yuan'er know it in the future?"

"That's right!" Lu Yuan smiled and shook his hand. "Husband, it's enough for you to speak as the head of the hall later, right? Can I not say anything?"

"Are you scared?" Xiao Li didn't agree or refuse. "There will be many opportunities like this in the future. Yuan'er should get used to it sooner rather than later. Besides, the most people came today, so Yuan'er should let everyone recognize him."

"Is it really necessary?" Lu Yuan was still trying to bargain, "Can we do it next time?"

"I must do it, just this time." Xiao Li was not soft-hearted.
