"Master? I don't know much about that, but Brother Xie Yan used to be a civil servant! I heard from your brother that he won the exam at the age of sixteen! It's amazing, but because of his exile, all his achievements were deprived of him.
It will be difficult to take the imperial examination route in the future."
"We didn't dare to say this in front of him, but Uncle Xie said that Brother Xie had given up on his delusion a long time ago, and I just felt it was a pity."
Jiang Hexi was extremely surprised, but when she thought of the handsome young man with clean blue clothes and calm posture even though he was at the bottom of the class, after thinking about it, it was very reasonable.
With a roll of his eyes, Jiang Hexi smiled slyly, and said in a bewitching tone in Chen Shuanzi's ear: "Shuanzi, tell me, is Xie Yan willing to be a master in our village? I guarantee that the treatment will be better than that of a mason."
A thousand times better!"
Chen Shuanzi's eyes widened when he heard this, until he saw Jiang Hexi's serious look, and hurriedly said: "Of course I am willing! Sister Xi, please don't coax me, I will tell Brother Xie the good news right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shuanzi disappeared like the wind in an instant, leaving only a little dust raised by the strong wind.
Jiang Hexi shook her head helplessly, but she finally solved a problem, calmed down, and continued working.
After a while, Chen Shuanzi came to the door hand in hand with a somewhat dazed thank you.
"Miss Jiang."
When Jiang Hexi raised her head, she saw Xie Yan, who was wearing a navy blue bundt, standing upright in front of her. The man was as tall and thin as a pine tree, and his clear and elegant eyebrows were particularly elegant. Even wearing a bunt could not hide his elegance.
breath.
Jiang Hexi nodded secretly and said with a smile: "Master Xie is here, sit down."
"Shuanzi must have told you that our private school is currently short of teachers. I heard that Mr. Xie was once a civil servant, which really makes us admire him. Let Mr. Xie become a mason, which really hid Mr. Xie's talent."
"Actually, the teachers in our private school are quite relaxed. They only need to teach the children to read and read. Anyway, the people in the village have so many demands on them. The rest is all up to personal nature. Mr. Xie doesn't need to feel any pressure."
"I am willing to hire Mr. Xie to be our private tutor for five taels of silver per month. I wonder what Mr. Xie wants?"
After saying that, Jiang Hexi looked at Xie Yan slightly uneasily, fearing that he would refuse. After all, it would not be that simple to find a wife nearby. Why is education here always lagging behind!
Xie Yan smiled slightly, and for a moment it was like a blooming mountain flower, refreshing the heart and mind.
"Miss Jiang, I will accept this matter. Thank you very much, Miss Jiang."
"That's good, that's good! Can you start tomorrow?"
"It's not that I'm rushing you, it's because this is really urgent and the children can't wait for this!" Jiang Hexi hurriedly explained because she was worried that Xie Yan would overthink it.
Seeing the unusually nervous girl in front of him, Xie Yan had a faint smile in his eyes and said in a beautiful low voice: "Miss Jiang, you're welcome. Xie understands that I will be on duty at the private school tomorrow."
"That's good, please." Seeing that he finally agreed, Jiang Hexi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
"What is Miss Jiang doing? I have never seen these before, but they are very interesting." Xie Yan was very curious when he saw the seeds all over the yard.
Jiang Hexi waved his hand nonchalantly and explained patiently: "These are the seeds that Brother Tiezhu brought back from Beidi. I specifically asked him for a lot, and I plan to plant them in the next few days."
"Then let me help too! Just tell me what to do, Miss Jiang, so that I can move faster." Xie Yan didn't ask her why she planted these seemingly unreliable seeds, but wanted to help.
Jiang Hexi immediately nodded like pounding garlic and said, "I'll trouble you, just peel the corn into kernels and cut the potatoes into pieces! I'll make the sweet potatoes myself."
"OK."
Xie Yan agreed one by one and concentrated on helping Jiang Hexi play with the seeds together with Chen Shuanzi.
Suddenly, the speed of the work increased greatly, making Jiang Hexi's lips crack.
