At Chaoyang Restaurant.
In a private room facing the street.
Master Chen of the county school was sitting opposite of squire Liu.
After watching Zhao Jing and his students leave, Teacher Chen asked,""Is this the student who wrote the couplet in your residence earlier?”
"That's right," replied Minister Liu.”
Teacher Chen took a sip of tea and said slowly,""Looking at his appearance, he looks dignified."
"I wonder how well he reads other books besides making couplets.”
There were many students in the county school.
However, there were many families who directly invited their teachers at home.
There were even poorer ones who relied entirely on their own self-study.
Teacher Chen saw that Zhao Jing had handled the matter appropriately and knew that he would not sully his reputation by borrowing the hands of others.
He heard from Official Liu that he was a child of a poor family. When he first met him, he was wearing an old robe and carrying a tattered basket on his back.
When he thought of that stunning couplet, he couldn't help but feel some love for talent.
If he was really so talented, he could help him a little.
If Zhao Jing was really a good person, then he had made the right bet.
However, when he thought of the two students who caused trouble just now, his eyes flashed.
Official Liu seemed to have seen through his thoughts. He smiled and said,"The competition in the county school is fierce now."
"This Teacher Wu is getting more and more impetuous. He can't even teach his students well.”
There was also the phenomenon of comparing between scholars.
They didn't compete for money, but only for other illusory things.
In Teacher Chen's position, reputation was more important.
Whoever had better students would have a better reputation in the city.
And the way to reflect the quality of the students was, of course, the imperial examination results.
Teacher Chen heard what Official Liu said and smiled,""Once the news of being chased out of Chaoyang Restaurant spreads, if this student's results are good, Teacher Wu might just reprimand him.”
"If their results are not good, then there's probably a danger of dropping out.”
Minister Liu shrugged and said indifferently,""How can a distinguished guest of my Morning Sun Restaurant be bullied by him at will?”
Teacher Chen shook his head and said,"Forget it, this is his business."”
"Ancient Mythology will be on sale tomorrow. Why haven't we received the second volume yet?"”
Official Liu saw Master Chen's anxious look and couldn't help but laugh,""I've already asked the shopkeeper of the book house to try his best to urge him.”
"Even if the author of this book has higher requirements, we will still buy it.”
Teacher Chen nodded in satisfaction and said,""Your bookstore definitely won't lose out if you buy this manuscript.”
......
On the other side.
Zhao Jing held Lin Anan's hand and carried the bookcase on his back as they walked home together.
It was a busy farming season.
From time to time, oxcarts filled with crops would pass by.
Lin Anan blinked her big eyes and asked with concern,""Husband, are you tired? Do you want to rest? There's still a long way to go."
Zhao Jing couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
How long had they walked?
He felt that it had not even been fifteen minutes.
With his tall figure, in the eyes of the little girl, was he unable to walk even this little path?
Zhao Jing shook their hands helplessly.""I'm not tired. I can walk."
"If you're tired, let me know. We can rest by the roadside.”
Lin Anan was smiling, and the dimples on her face looked very vivid.
"I'm not tired," she said.
"Previously, there were a few times when I walked back from the city with Ah Niang.”
"Our Lin Family Village is farther than Zhao Family Village. It takes more than two hours to walk.”
"Then our Anan is really great." Zhao Jing nodded and praised.”
Lin Anan lowered her head and smiled shyly.
Why did her husband keep praising her today?
He had only praised her for her beauty when he left the house in the morning.
He had defended her in front of everyone in the restaurant just now, and when he came back, he praised her and said that she was great.
How could she be so good?
Lin Anan wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead. Her big eyes were watery because of the sweat.
She whispered,"I think my husband is the most powerful."”
Zhao Jing smiled and wiped the sweat off her forehead with his finger.
Although the villagers said that it would rain in the next few days, the sun was too strong today.
Zhao Jing was carrying a bookcase on his back. The tarpaulin on the bookcase could block the sun, so it was fine.
Lin Anan's head wasn't covered by anything and she walked under the scorching sun.
In just a short while, her little face was already flushed red from the sun, and there were some small beads of sweat on her temples.
"The bookcase isn't heavy. Why don't you carry it on your back to block the sun?" Zhao Jing said.”
Lin Anan waved her hand." No," she said." Husband can carry it."”
"I often go to the fields, so I'm used to the sun.”
"My husband is a scholar, he definitely can't help but bask in the sun.”
Zhao Jing thought helplessly. What kind of fragile object was he in the little girl's heart?
He was a scholar and a man.
He was a man who had lived two lifetimes.
How could he still need a little girl to hold him in his hands?
Zhao Jing took off the bookcase on his back and put it on Lin Anan's back.
Lin Anan still wanted to refuse.
Zhao. Tyrannical Scholar. "You're not allowed to refuse," Jing said domineeringly.”
"I'm tired of carrying it. It's your turn now.”
Seeing her husband's face, Lin Anan didn't dare to reject him.
"Alright," she said fawningly.
Then, she had an idea.
"Then I'll carry it for a while. Later, it'll be your turn to carry it!”
"Shall we take turns? This way, everyone would not be exposed to the sun for too long.”
Zhao Jing smiled and patted her little head.
"Little smart egg."
