After Shen Mingjun and his wife met Feng Huaqi, Chen Xi officially jumped to the level of reading. The parts that were missing from the four books before, Chen Xi turned around and made up for it by himself according to Feng Huaqi's intention. When encountering something they didn't understand in the collection of notes, Feng Huaqi will teach in detail.

Shen Mingjun and his wife thanked each other very much, and at the same time brought some gifts, but refused for Feng Huaqi.

According to Feng Huaqi's meaning, there are rules for how many bundles should be collected every year. You cannot receive too much for no reason, otherwise it will be of no use to students' moral teaching.

Shen Mingjun and his wife were ashamed of their feelings and took the gift they brought back intact.

Chen Xi skipped the study this time and studied directly with students who were four or five years older than him. Among all the grades of Feng Huaqi, he is second only to those students who are about to take the exam for the child. Because Chen Xi was too short, he sat among these students, as if a mouse was mixed in a group of cats.

After Chen Xi received the new textbook and read it through, he had basically mastered the contents of the Book of Songs, the Book of Songs, the Book of Rites, the Book of Rites, the Book of Changes, the Spring and Autumn Period and other five classics.

Chen Xi basically never forgets it. In addition, Zhu Xi's collection of chapters and sentences of the four books and sentences were studied many times in the past and two lives, so it didn't take extra time. However, he was patient and started to study step by step with his classmates. In his spare time, he reads the books of study, the Book of Filial Piety, the Zhou Li, the Three Transmissions of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Policy, the Records of the Chinese Language, the Nature and Reason, the Five Classics, the Selected Literature, the Authentic Articles, the Eight Collections of the Anthology and other books to enrich his theoretical knowledge.

On March 15th, there are two days left before the annual exam in Changting County, Tingzhou Prefecture City. Feng Huaqi specifically explained some things that day and gave the students four days off. Because Feng Huaqi himself was a scholar and needed to take the annual exam, he asked all students to go home, which would save the school from the dangerous situation where no one in the school was watching students skip classes.

"The homework arranged for you must be completed in full. If you are negligent, you will be punished by a ruler."

Feng Huaqi's tone was a bit stern, "After I come back, it's Qingming Festival. I will take you to Wolong Mountain in the north of the city for an outing. Then I will teach you some landscape painting skills."

All the students were able to go home for fun because of the holiday, and they heard that they could still go out for a trip after the holiday, so they were all happy.

Chen Xi had long discovered that Feng Huaqi's teaching and educating people is different from other conservative old scholars. He emphasizes teaching according to his aptitude and being flexible and maneuverable. Not only can he teach knowledge in books, but he can even intersperse the content of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in teaching.

The students left one after another, some went to the next residence to pack their things, and went out of the city before dark, while those who were far away had to stay in the dormitory and wait for their family to pick them up the next day.

Because some students drowned, Feng Huaqi had fewer students under him and many seats were empty. The tables and chairs that were not available for the time being. Feng Huaqi took the initiative to move them to the woodshed behind the school after school.

"Sir, the student has something to bother."

Chen Xi took advantage of the fact that there was no one and walked forward to salute.

"Oh. Chen Xi, you have just learned the Five Classics. Just ask what you don't understand." Feng Huaqi returned to the podium and wanted to sit down. But because he was moving things just now, his waist was so painful that he shook his body twice.

Chen Xi hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Feng Huaqi waved his hand and smiled, "No, sir, my body is very strong. As a scholar, I must straighten my back. Do you still remember what I said?"

Chen Xitou replied: "Sir, I'm not here to ask questions. I think that when you are in class on weekdays, you have to write everything on paper, which is a bit wasteful."

Feng Huaqi looked at Chen Xi in confusion: "So what?"

"I think I can find someone to make a black board, which can be hung on the wall to teach, and use white lime blocks to write on it. After writing, wipe it off and use it in a cycle."

Feng Huaqi didn't expect that Chen Xi was actually doing this, and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Chen Xi, if you want to do research, the most important thing is to be down-to-earth and always study these strange and erotic techniques. The master has heard about you. Your Shen family and the Lu family have started to run a printing workshop. The comic strips printed were the first and caused a sensation. According to the printing of comic strips, the New Year pictures are all your ideas. Chen Xi, you are very smart, but I am worried that this cleverness is useless."

Chen Xi looked ashamed. He didn't expect that Feng Huaqi not only cared about his studies, but also knew his family affairs so well. Originally, Chen Xi saw Feng Huaqi bent down to explain to students every time he straightened up, and he seemed slow and arduous, so he wanted to save some effort. He could just write on the blackboard when he taught in the future, so he wouldn't have to be so tired.

"Sir, the student remembers your teachings." Chen Xi sincerely admitted his mistake.

Feng Huaqi smiled and looked at the same time with a bit of the kindness of an elder: "I have taught many students in my life, and many of them are promising now, but in terms of qualifications, you are far above them. You must be careful. As long as you study hard and be willing to study, you will definitely achieve great things in the future."

After a pause, Feng Yanqi said again, "Your black board sounds good. Your teacher's wife has criticized me these days. She spends too much paper in class on weekdays, so she needs to save some money. Look, how to make this black board?"

Feng Huaqi is a "knowing" person. In the past, there were many students in the school and Shu Xiu received a lot. He used a few more pieces of paper to write for students on weekdays, so he didn't feel much distressed. However, this drowning incident caused a large number of students to drop out of school, which was not as simple as whether to leave Shu Xiu or not in the future. Once they dropped out of school, they would take Shu Xiu back for the previous six months, which made Feng Huaqi's savings quickly emptied.

Now Feng Huaqi wants to split the money in half and spend it.

Chen Xi described the general appearance of the blackboard. In the past, it required technology to make chalk, which was not cost-effective. Chalk can be replaced by lime blocks. Anyway, China began to use lime during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. By the Ming Dynasty, it was very common and could be seen everywhere. Lime blocks can also be written on the blackboard, but they have to be polished slightly before use, and there is a sharp raised area.

"Sir, there are black dyes in the printing workshop. Let the carpenter put together a piece of wood board and dye it with paint. If Mr. needs it, I will go back and ask the carpenter to help him with it and let them bring it here." Chen Xi volunteered.

Feng Huaqi hurriedly stopped him: "No, you just need to do it clearly. If you want to do it, it is up to the teacher to do it. You must do it in the future. Do you have to do it yourself and do not do it by others, do you know?"

Chen Xi smiled and his head. But he still wanted to help Feng Huaqi overcome the difficulties.

It is rare that someone appreciates his talent and is willing to give advice. Now is the time when Feng Huaqi is in a downturn, so Chen Xi naturally wants to help more.

Chen Xi took the initiative to step back and introduced the carpenter to Feng Huaqi, and Feng Huaqi accepted this happily.

After Chen Xi returned, he found the carpenters from the printing workshop and told them how to make blackboards. It was easy for these carpenters to do the work here. Originally, the printing workshop needed a lot of wide wooden boards. These wooden boards were made of wood, and the material was much better than ordinary wood.

Chen Xi took out the New Year's money that Hui Niang gave him before and told these carpenters to only charge Feng Huaqi some fees in a symbolic way. Anyway, Feng Huaqi is not familiar with carpentry work, so he should not know how much it will cost to make a blackboard.

After the blackboard was built, Chen Xi was waiting for Feng Huaqi to come and move.

At this time, Feng Huaqi was taking the exam every year, because he was busy teaching and educating people, and he was not a student in the essay. What he wanted was just a second or third-class pass.

During this period, Shen Mingjun received a letter from his family. It turned out that after the annual exam in Changting County, it was soon the turn of Ninghua County. Now the old man of the Yi family is staring at Shen Mingwen, the boss of the Shen family, hoping that he can get a good score.

After all, after the autumn is approaching, it is the turn of the three-year autumn examination, and this exam is equivalent to warming up the provincial examination.

"Mom, let me go back to Ninghua these days, it's best to take my husband to get up. Now my family is separated in several places. It's very inconvenient. I want to buy a yard in Ninghua City and ask me to go back and help me."

Shen Mingjun was in a dilemma after receiving the letter from home. The printing workshop here was very busy, and the order was then transferred. Su Zhaiqi transported the customized color comic strips to Jiangnan, which caused another sensation. Nanjing alone easily digested the goods. After tasting the sweetness, Su Zhaiqi not only added four large orders in a row, but also introduced others to book.

The printing workshop is very busy. As the shopkeeper, Shen Mingjun gets up early and goes to bed late every day, and often even has to go to the warehouse to watch at night.

Zhou sighed, "I won't stop my husband from going back, but Lang only had four days off. He was about to study again. How can he leave? When my husband went back this time, he happened to go to the printing workshop in the county town. Every time he communicated with letters, how can he feel at ease if he didn't take a look at it with his own eyes?"

Shen Mingjun was actually reluctant to leave the city. Not only did he have a wife and children here, but Xie Yuner whom he had been thinking about day and night, but the old lady Li ordered him to go back, and he was helpless.

Chen Xi pulled Zhou's clothes, wanting to remind me that my father hoped to be kept by her instead of seeing him off.

Shen Mingjun and his wife have a good relationship on weekdays, but when they mention their family, there are always rifts between them. Shen Mingjun knew that his wife was in a bad mood, so he said a few words and left to the warehouse before dark, actually trying to avoid Zhou.

When Hui Niang came back from the silver account, Zhou asked Shen Mingjun back to Ninghua. Hui Niang immediately asked, "Sister didn't keep her brother-in-law?"

"What is it left? The old lady asked him to go back. My sister is not unaware of the character of my old lady. Who dares to disobey her except for the boss she holds and offers?" Zhou said angrily.

Hui Niang sighed lightly: "Actually, the old lady just wanted to find an excuse to use the money her sister sent back openly and settle down in Ninghua City. Whether her brother-in-law will go back will not have much impact, otherwise I will ask someone to send more money back. This is where my brother-in-law cannot be separated. The old lady will definitely not make things difficult for her."

Zhou shook his head and said, "This is the Shen family's business, how can I always make my sister bother? He wanted to go back, so he just let him go back and check out the pharmacy and workshops in Ninghua. Although he reported his safety every time he wrote to him, who knows what the truth is?"

Hui Niang smiled and said nothing more. Based on the principle that it is difficult for a clean official to make a decision, she rarely interferes with the Shen family affairs, especially the tension between Li and Zhou, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which cannot be reconciled by her words.

Chen Xi sat at the door, burying his head to read the collection of poems and essays compiled by Xiao Tong, the eldest son of Emperor Wu of Liang of the Southern Dynasty. Suddenly, he felt that the light seemed a little dark, so he saw through the crack of the door and saw Hong Zhuo standing in front of the door, he was hesitant, as if he was about to knock on the door, but he was reluctant to take action.

"Mom, I remember that I still have homework and haven't done it, so I'll go back first."
