"Mom, Madam and Big Brother really said it." He said seriously with his childish face.
Shen Xiaoniang was stunned for a moment and looked at the box of cakes in her son's hand.
I sat blankly on a small bamboo stool in the yard, staring into the distance.
An Chunming quickly put down the food box in his hand, squatted in front of Shen Xiaoniang, and asked nervously, "Mom, are you okay?"
"Mom, don't you want me to go to private school? If you're not happy, I won't go."
Suddenly, two lines of tears appeared on Shen Xiaoniang's face.
She hugged her son who was buried in her lap and sobbed, "Mom is happy, I am happy for my son."
From what the lady said, not only can her son go to private school, but if he performs well in his studies, she will also consider letting her son take the imperial examination.
Shen Xiaoniang never dared to think that taking the imperial examination would cost the family five hundred taels of silver.
Regardless of whether Dong Shuangyan was fooling her or really meant it, Shen Xiaoniang was extremely grateful to her.
She wiped the tears from her face, asked An Chunming to stand straight in front of her, and explained seriously,
"You must study hard and learn to read well in the future."
"You must not disappoint the Madam and the Young Master, understand?"
An Chunming nodded. "Madam and Big Brother are very kind to us. Don't worry, Mom. I will study hard and will not let Madam and Big Brother down."
"I'll help my big brother when I grow up and learn to read."
Shen Xiaoniang smiled with relief, "It's good that you know, but you must not do the same thing as that ungrateful person."
After thinking for a moment, she added, "You must remember, no matter what others say, you must know in your heart that this family property belongs to your eldest brother and has nothing to do with you."
She said in a proactive manner, "Don't dwell on things you shouldn't dwell on. Your eldest brother and his wife have been very good to us."
She was afraid that her son would develop inappropriate ambitions after studying.
"You also saw what happened that day when your father didn't allow you to go to private school."
"There are some things I shouldn't tell you, but I know you're a smart and sensible child."
"If you have any questions, you must ask your eldest brother. Your eldest brother is the one closest to you."
Shen Xiaoniang didn't understand why Dong Shuangyan let her son go to a private school.
But she knew that there was nothing about the mother and son that was worth Dong Shuangyan's covetousness.
If anything, it's loyalty.
No matter what other people's intentions were, they did get the benefits.
After this period of contact, An Chunming had already had a great improvement on An Jingzhi, and after hearing what Shen Xiaoniang said, he nodded repeatedly to assure her.
Of course, the scumbag father has more than just these two sons, he also has other daughters and sons, but those have nothing to do with An Jingzhi.
Firstly, the original owner was not familiar with these people, and secondly, they were not the targets of his mission. Most importantly, his younger brothers and sisters were really a cause for concern.
He doesn't have the leisure to care about them. That's his scumbag father's business. What does it have to do with him?
…
"My second brother is gone." An Jingzhi stood at the entrance of the yard waiting.
An Chunming, who was woken up by Shen Xiaoniang early in the morning and dressed in the most decent clothes, said goodbye to Shen Xiaoniang obediently and came to An Jingzhi.
"Big brother."
An Jingzhi smiled at Shen Xiaoniang, and took An Chunming to register at the private school.
He took An Chunming to the private school where he had studied before.
On the way, he asked An Chunming a few questions. Unexpectedly, An Chunming had already been taught by Shen Xiaoniang, knew some words, and even memorized a few simple children's poems.
In the school study.
After briefly evaluating An Chunming's foundation, Master Bai said with satisfaction:
"Not bad. If you have the basics, you can keep up."
"Master, I'll leave my brother to you." An Jingzhi handed over the purchase fee plus five taels of silver.
In fact, it should have been the parents who brought their children to register, but the scumbag father was a careless person, and his mother was obsessed with cotton.
As for Shen Xiaoniang, it was not suitable for her to show up, so in the end, An Jingzhi had to bring An Chunming over.
Master Bai accepted it with satisfaction, "Don't worry."
He looked at An Jingzhi with some regret and asked, "Are you really not coming to school?"
An Jingzhi quickly shook his head and said self-deprecatingly, "I'm really not that kind of student, so I won't waste your time."
Master Bai didn't think that the other party was wasting his time. He wished that as many students as possible would come so that he could collect more tuition fees.
After leaving Master Bai, An Jingzhi brought An Chunming to the school and introduced his former friends to An Chunming one by one.
"These are all my friends. If you encounter any problems in school, just look for them."
The relationship between these people and the original owner would become increasingly distant in the future, but now, after his management, he has a few good friends who can lend him money.
Ma Jinhang patted An Chunming's shoulder generously and said, "Your elder brother is right. Come to me if you have any problems."
The others also said a few words out of courtesy.
An Chunming was asked to return to the classroom and sit down, while Ma Jinhang and others surrounded An Jingzhi.
"Jingzhi, there is something I want to apologize to you for. I didn't know that my father had secretly built a pool table and opened a billiard parlor." Ma Jinhang said apologetically.
An Jingzhi smiled generously, "What's there to apologize for? There are many people who run billiard parlors in Zeyun County. Brother Ma, there's no need to be so polite."
Several other families were also engaged in business, and many people did not miss this obvious business opportunity.
Ma Jinhang started the apology, followed by others.
An Jingzhi not only didn't mind, but also comforted them a little.
"This business is there, anyone can do it, no need to say more brothers."
Seeing An Jingzhi being so generous and magnanimous, the others felt even more guilty.
Their business operations were not as formal as An Jingzhi's. The main reason was that after An Jingzhi launched the membership system, he also made some minor reforms to the entire billiard hall.
Even if more and more billiard parlors emerge, the most formal and best place in everyone’s mind will always be the billiard parlor opened by An Jingzhi.
In fact, the reason is that the members have already been bound to a group of people, so An Jingzhi does not have to worry about income in the short term.
Besides, even if he lost face now, what would be the point? It would be useless except offending people.
An Jingzhi not only generously let them do business as they please, he even gave them some advice, telling them not to expand the pool tables blindly, otherwise they might suffer losses if the craze wore off.
Everyone was so grateful to him that they even skipped classes and took An Jingzhi to a restaurant for a grand banquet.
Master Bai was used to this and continued teaching by turning a blind eye.
An Chunming was very serious when he attended the private school for the first time. He was the most serious student in the whole school.
Master Bai spoke for a while and also noticed his presence.
Mr. Bai is so lazy, not because he doesn't want to manage, but because he simply can't manage.
