Chapter 214: Causes of Sprained Ankle
Luo Xiaoran is a poisonous person.
Her complaints really came true; the private school she opened actually had something to do with high turnover.
Gao Liushui is Master Gao among the three masters in Fuyuan County.
He was Mr. Gao, who came from a poor family, had not married at the age of twenty, and who supported his family by relying on scholarships, and who had failed the imperial examination last autumn.
After Chaoyang Private School opened, Gaoliushui’s income suddenly dropped by two-thirds.
After deducting the money he used to buy medicine for his old mother, there was little left from the salary he received.
It was difficult for them to even eat and drink, let alone buy writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.
Because those who are not coming to Gaoliushui to study this year are all children from Hexi Village.
He also heard that a new private school had opened in Hexi Village, so he wondered if all the children went to that school.
Then I thought again, in such a small village, what fool would spend money to build a private school there?
Not to mention himself, even Master Zhao and Master Zhou only found a large and bright room in their home and set up a desk to teach.
Or maybe he didn't teach well, so parents stopped sending their children to school? Gao Liushui sometimes doubted himself in this way.
After holding it in for a while, Gao Liushui couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he set off for Hexi Village to find out.
What Gao Liushui didn't expect was that the news about the private school in Hexi Village was not fake, but that the private school called "Chaoyang" was very prosperous and lively.
When the high flow of water came, the schoolchildren happened to be resting in the yard.
Through the slightly opened door, Gao Liushui saw many of his former students playing in the large yard.
Moreover, the things the students played with were very strange.
One type has two people sitting on the two ends of a wooden board at the same time. When one person bends his legs and sinks, the other person will be lifted up, and vice versa.
There is also a two-story wooden pavilion where students climb up the steps and then slide down on their hips while sitting, just like ice skating in winter.
Gao Liushui originally just wanted to take a quick look, and it would be best if he could meet the teacher of this private school.
Unexpectedly, a gust of wind blew open the door in front of him, and Gao Liushui was completely exposed, still maintaining the posture of stretching out his hands to pry open the door.
Many people in the courtyard were Gao Liushui's former students. His presence was too obvious and he had already been spotted by many people. Someone shouted:
"It's Master Gao!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Gao Liushui felt a rush of heat to his forehead, his cheeks turned red, and finally he ran away like a rat.
He kept looking back as he ran, fearing that someone would catch up with him and demand an explanation.
Mr. Gao’s social death had not yet stopped. Before he had run far, he ran into Zhang Xiuqiao head-on.
Ever since An Ruquan threatened to take Zhang Xiuqiao as his concubine, Zhang Changzong and Wang Baobao have been anxious to get her married.
Although An Ruquan was killed as a result of his evil deeds, no one threatened Zhang Xiuqiao anymore.
But as the only unmarried child in the family, she has become a source of worry for her parents, who always want to find a good family for her.
Zhang Xiuqiao just came of age this year and she is not in a hurry to get married.
But as a daughter, she could not go against her parents' wishes, so she was very upset and went out to relax, wandering aimlessly in the village.
One was Mr. Gao who was fleeing in panic, and the other was Zhang Xiuqiao who was absent-minded. It was not surprising at all that these two people did not see each other on the road and thus bumped into each other.
Zhang Xiuqiao's head hit Mr. Gao's shoulder heavily, and then due to the difference in weight, her whole body bounced out.
Just as he was stepping back, his right foot happened to step on a stone, and the twist caused his foot and calf to bend to 90 degrees.
With Du Kongqing's silver needle pressing against the back of his head, Gao Liushui hesitated for a moment, but still told the above truth. Of course, he concealed some of the details.
For example, he is indeed short of money this year because he recruited few students.
For example, the fact that Zhang Xiuqiao bumped into his arms concerned the reputation of a girl in the boudoir, so he didn't dare to reveal a single word.
Luo Xiaoran held her forehead with her hand, looking helpless.
She had heard Zhang Changzong mention Mr. Gao and knew that he was a scholar whose family was not well off, so he opened a private school at home.
Her original intention of building this private school was to accommodate Sun Qingyuan, so that he could teach Luo Xingchen honestly and with peace of mind, and now there is also Niu Dan.
At the same time, Luo Xiaoran also wanted to allow the children in the village to avoid running between the county town and the village, which would be a good thing for both herself and the public.
However, this matter harms one person's interests, which is high turnover.
Although he didn't say it, if he didn't care about losing so many students, why would Gao Liushui, a scholar, chase him all the way to Hexi Village?
Looking at the clothes that had turned a little white after being washed with high-flown water, Luo Xiaoran felt a slight sense of guilt in her heart, but it quickly disappeared.
She doesn't have the ability to make all things and people in the world perfect.
The difficulties faced by Gao Liushui's family were not caused by her, and she had no intention of deliberately stealing students when she established the private school.
"That's not right. You should go to the private school. Why come to the clinic?" Du Kongqing, who was standing behind Gao Liushui, suddenly asked the question.
When these words were spoken, Master Gao and Zhang Xiuqiao were both shocked. Their eyes met in the air and then immediately looked away.
"I..." Gao Liushui was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
"It's really inappropriate for a man like you to be so hesitant."
Du Kongqing's hand was almost sore from holding the silver needle, and Gao Liushui couldn't even finish his words.
"Forget it, Kong Qing," Zhang Xiuqiao, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, "He didn't do anything, let him go. My feet hurt again, can you help me take a look?"
Seeing Zhang Xiuqiao pleading for Gao Liushui, Du Kongqing put down his hand and pointed outside the door:
"I have a patient here, so I won't send Master Gao away."
Master Gao subconsciously glanced at Zhang Xiuqiao, but saw that she had already lowered her head. He felt something strange, but it was inconvenient to stay any longer, so he nodded, bowed, and left.
At the same time, Sun Qingyuan was walking towards the clinic with Luo Xingchen and Niu Dan, and passed by Gao Liushui who was driven away.
Luo Xingchen and Niu Dan each held a bunch of brightly colored morning glories in their hands. The pentagonal petals were purple and blue, but the five-pointed star-shaped area in the middle was all white.
"Sister! Brother Xiaohe and I picked a lot of flowers for you!"
As usual, Luo Xingchen ran in the front, followed closely by Niu Dan, and the last one was Sun Qingyuan.
He picked up a fan, the one with the puppy pictured on it.
"Wow!" Luo Xiaoran shouted exaggeratedly to express her surprise. At the same time, she patted the seat next to her bed, motioning them to come over and sit down:
"Chen'er and Niu Dan, come here quickly, let me take a good look at the flowers you picked."
