The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 242

Wei Quan asked in surprise, "What is a medical room?"

Aunt Niu said, "The family hired a doctor specifically to treat the children."

Wei Quan sneered. It seemed he had underestimated Xu Tian, ​​who had resolved the matter so quietly.

What's more, he even hired a doctor to examine the students. Not only that, this Grand Tutor Xu also established a scholarship, saying that if a student's quarterly assessment score was A, they would receive a scholarship of two taels of silver.

Xu Tian earns two copper coins for teaching and nurturing talent, but this scholarship only provides two taels of silver and also sets up a medical clinic. So how can he possibly make a profit?

If Xu Tian heard this, he would find it laughable. Just think about how the number of photocopied exam papers for students in modern key high schools is as tall as a person.

However, in ancient times, he only wanted to teach and educate people; he had no intention of making money from his students.

Seeing that the director's expression was off, the couple immediately stood up and said somewhat awkwardly, "Director, we still have farm work to do at home, can we leave now?"

Wei Quan immediately nodded and said, "Please, both of you. Let's go down the mountain."

After Wei Quan left, the servant immediately came up and said, "The Dean and the other two went too far. They took your money but didn't get anything done, and they still have the nerve to come back."

Wei Quan sneered, then said, "Since Xu Tian is willing to do a losing business, there's nothing I can do. So be it."

As he spoke, Dean Wei whispered a few words in the servant's ear. The servant was taken aback at first, then gave a thumbs up, saying, "The Dean is indeed far-sighted and insightful."

The servant went to the market early in the morning and sure enough, he saw the children of Grand Tutor Xu's mansion playing outside. After class in the morning, they had an hour's rest time, and the Eastern Courtyard let them all go out, telling them to come back to rest on time.

Sun Sanhua and her friends came out, but were bumped into by a man who said menacingly, "Are you blind? Can't you see I'm in trouble? If you hurt me, you'll have to pay for it."

These people sneered and then said, "You stole my money."

Sun Sanhua was so frightened that she froze. A little boy next to her said, "Uncle, Sanhua would never steal your money. He's a good boy."

Unexpectedly, the man persisted, grabbing Sun Sanhua and saying, "If you didn't steal the money, did my silver just vanish into thin air? Believe me or not, I'll search you."

The boy immediately shoved the man, then walked up to Sun Sanhua and said, "Sanhua, did you really steal his money? If you didn't, prove it to him."

Sun Sanhua nodded, her eyes blurry with tears, and unexpectedly found a silver ingot in her purse.

The little boy's name is Jinzhou, and his father is a scholar in the town.

Jinzhou immediately apologized to the man.

"Uncle, Sanhua must have been careless. She's such a young child, she wouldn't steal your money. Besides, you weren't the one who bumped into her first. Maybe your money fell into Sanhua's purse at that moment."
