Chapter 282: Send back to the pharmacy, the rest of the people

"Ma'am, I have finished writing it down."

"I've finished writing it, too."

"And me..."

There were people whispering to each other and looking around, and naturally there were also people burying their heads in writing furiously. As time passed, some people finished their dictation one after another. Shen Xiangwan opened his eyes, sat up slightly, and waved to those who had finished writing.

"lady."

Those who had already memorized the text lined up and came forward. Shen Xiangwan took the Thousand Character Essay from the first person and took a look at it. Although the handwriting was still very eye-catching, not a single word was missed and all of it was written out without even a typo. It was obvious that the other party had really worked hard in private.

"Very good, wait in the corridor."

"yes."

Seeing that he had passed the test, the boy, who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen, breathed a sigh of relief and followed her instructions to go to the empty corridor. When they started the timed dictation, Wei Jingyi and others asked the children who were watching to go back to the classroom to continue studying. In order not to affect them, they no longer asked the children to read the textbooks, but taught them to practice writing.

Next, Shen Xiangwan looked at the Thousand Character Classic that others had written one by one. Basically, no one's handwriting could be called beautiful. Some were like the first person, with every word correct and no typos. Some made only one or two mistakes. Overall, Shen Xiangwan was quite satisfied and asked them to go to the corridor. She was not a strict person. The fact that they could write it out proved that they had really tried their best. It was inevitable that they would make a few mistakes. They just needed to pay more attention in the future. After all, they had only been learning for more than two months.

"Time's up."

"ah?"

Half an hour passed quickly, and Yuan Ying's voice mixed with his internal strength was clearly heard in every corner of the school. The remaining people looked up reflexively, and the panic on their faces and eyes was obvious, especially those who had only written a few words. As long as they thought that they might be sent back to the pawnshop, their hands holding the brushes could not stop shaking.

"Anyone else want to show it to me?"

Shen Xiangwan crossed her legs and leaned back in her chair, glancing around at them. She then calmly gave them another chance. Those who dared to show it to her at this time, even if they had not finished reciting it, should have at least written most of it. If there were not too many typos, she would not mind keeping them.

“···”

The yard was silent, and no one stood out. Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan stood up by the armrest of the chair and said, "Yuan Ying, go back and find two people, harness the carriage, and send them all back to the pawnshop."

"yes."

"No, ma'am, please give me another chance. I promise to study hard."

"Madam, please have mercy and give us another chance."

"I know I was wrong. Please don't send me back to the dental clinic."

"lady···"

Yuanying bowed her head and accepted the order. When the boys and girls heard that they were going to be sent back to the pawnshop, they all stood up and knelt on the ground to kowtow to her. They had been accustomed to a life of ease and comfort and did not want to go back to the pawnshop, let alone be bought and sold by others. No matter what, they wanted to stay here. In the future, they would study hard to learn to read and write, and would never dare to make jokes or do things perfunctorily again.

"You seem to have misunderstood one thing. I'm not begging you to study, but you must study hard to stay. I've already given you the opportunity, but you don't know how to cherish it. Since you don't want to live a good life, then go back to where you came from. I can't accommodate a bunch of you big Buddhas here."

With a faint glance, Shen Xiangwan said indifferently that she had been good enough to them, and it was they themselves who did not know how to cherish them, so don't blame her for being ruthless and cutting it off directly.

"No, ma'am, we were wrong. We really know we were wrong. Please..."

"lady···"

Hearing this, twenty or thirty people panicked even more and kept kowtowing to her, tears rolling down their eyes uncontrollably. However, Shen Xiangwan ignored them. Soon, Yuan Ying came with the guards. The young men and women with their heads bruised were unwilling to leave, but they were no match for Yuan Ying and the others. After a while, they were dragged out one by one and thrown into the carriage.

"Yuanying, go to the dental clinic yourself."

"ah?"

Yuan Ying, who was about to go back, paused and then asked worriedly, "Madam, you won't go out, will you?"

There was no way. Their wife had a history of running around, and Yuanyue was not at home. She was really afraid that she would not be able to see her when she came back.

"Won't."

Nodding with a smile, Shen Xiangwan gave her a reassuring look.

Yuan Ying looked at her deeply for a long time before leaving with a skeptical attitude. Shen Xiangwan's head ached. Did she look so untrustworthy? However... she really planned to go out for a while later!

It was just a dictation test, but there were only twenty people left, more than half of the original number. This showed how little they took what she and the teachers said to heart. Shen Xiangwan asked the remaining people to move the tables and chairs back to the classroom, and she sat in the teacher's seat and watched them.

"Don't say I don't give you a chance to choose. Those who don't want to learn to read and write can stand up now. If you are willing, I can arrange for you to do other work, or go back to the dental clinic."

After a moment, Shen Xiangwan suddenly spoke up. Honestly, seeing these people who stayed behind made her feel a little upset. Although she hadn't paid much attention to them in the past few months, she had provided them with good living conditions. Each of them wore brand new fine cotton clothes, looking more respectable than the villagers. What happened in the end? They disappointed her so much that she didn't even want to teach them medicine anymore.

"Husband, ma'am, I would like to learn to read and write."

Quickly looking up at her, the young man who had first handed in his paper boldly said that he truly wanted to learn to read and write, and that he was deeply grateful and respected the Madam. If it weren't for her, how could a servant like him have such a life and still be able to read and write? So, every day after school, he practiced writing according to the Master's instructions. To save paper, he even made a sandbox and practiced repeatedly on it with branches. This was why he was able to hand in his paper so quickly.

"Ma'am, we are willing too."

Afraid that they would be sent away if they spoke too slowly, the rest of the people expressed their opinion in unison.

Shen Xiangwan didn't respond immediately. After scanning them one by one, he said, "In that case, then study hard and learn to read. I will test you from time to time. If I find anyone joking around and living a dull life again, it will be more than just sending you back to the pawnshop."

"yes."

At this time, no one dared to say a word of no. They were really frightened by Shen Xiangwan's decisiveness. Besides, those who could stay were either smart or really hardworking. They all knew clearly that as long as they were willing to work hard, the lady would not make things difficult for them.

"Also, starting tomorrow, you won't have to come to the school anymore. I'll have someone clean up a room next to the main house, and you'll study there from now on."

In the blink of an eye, it's October. At the latest by the beginning of next year, they should be clashing with the Western Hu people. By then, there must be enough surgeons involved. Since they can already read, they should also try to learn surgical skills. As for the problem of writing, they can practice it slowly in the future. This is one of the reasons why she came to the school to test them today.

"yes."

Although they couldn't guess her intention, everyone still responded respectfully, not daring to go against her wishes at all.
