[069] Self-reliance

Half an hour later, Master Li was invited over. The master looked very serious, but his simple dress made people feel a little more intimate.

"What's the matter with this girl?" Master Li asked straight to the point.

"I want to ask the Master to come to teach, but I don't know what Master's opinion?" Perhaps talking to the Master, Bai Xingjie was a little more literary.

Master Li refused without hesitation: "I have more than 30 students here, and I have no time to teach others."

"Where is the evening?" Bai Xingwei naturally considered this issue. She did not mean to let Master Li give up on his current students.

Master Li frowned, but after only a brief thought, he gave up. "No, I have limited energy and I still need to prepare lessons later."

Bai Xingge persevered and said: "I have nine children. I study with you for an hour every night, and the tuition fee is 100% per month. I don't have high requirements, so you can teach them to recognize words first."

After Bai Xingjie said this, he added, "You can try to teach for two days first. We will adapt to each other. If one of them feels it is not suitable, it can be finished at any time."

She also thought that this master was okay, and it was close to their house. In addition, Xiaoyuan liked it, so she insisted on inviting her.

"Nine children?" Master Li looked surprised, "Is the family's children?"

Bai Xingge smiled, "Why don't you go to my place to see the students first? Let's talk about it if you can see it."

Master Li was still a little embarrassed. He couldn't let go of the students in the school, afraid that his energy would not be able to keep up. However, Mrs. Li was more inclined to Bai Xingge and advised Master Li, "Husband, just go and have a look."

In the end, Master Li agreed, and he was a decisive person. He followed Bai Xingjie without even taking a sip of water.

When Bai Xingge brought people back, the nine little boys were split into two groups of people working, one was responsible for cooking and the other was cleaning.

"Master Li, I invite you to teach these children." Bai Xingjie pointed to the people who ran over and said, "This is Master Li, say hello to Master Li."

Everyone immediately said in unison: "Hello Master Li!"

Master Li nodded and looked at the little boys present one by one with serious eyes. The oldest was about ten years old, while the youngest was only three or four years old.

And there are a few of them inside, which are the little beggars he once met! And the identities of these people are obviously self-evident.

Master Li asked Bai Xingche in a serious tone: "Do you have a source of income?"

A few days ago, these little beggars were not full or warm in food, but now they live here and are about to start studying. The changes in this made Master Li think twice.

"Yes." Bai Xingge affirmed.

Master Li asked again: "Then can you ensure their lives and studies?"

"Yes." Bai Xingge nodded again.

Master Li glanced at Bai Xingyi deeply, hesitated for a moment, and asked the question he was most concerned about, "What do you want to do to train them?"

Some beggars often disappear for no reason, and the whereabouts of these people often appear after a long time.

Some of them may have been taken over by wealthy families and become servants; some of them may have been sold to some places.

Therefore, Master Li had to doubt Bai Xingge's purpose.

Bai Xingge said frankly: "I didn't want to do anything, I just hope they can support themselves in the future."

Bai Xingyou really has no purpose, and he doesn't even feel that he is helping others with a kind heart. But occasionally he meets him, feels a little fate, and thinks of the little boy in the tribe. In addition, he has such a little ability, he thinks of whatever he thinks and does whatever he wants.

Master Li didn't believe it very much, but looking at Bai Xingwei's sincere eyes, he felt that he was a villain's heart and sighed, "Oh, I hope so."

"Then did you agree?" Bai Xingge is still very sensitive to human emotional changes.

Master Li did not answer, but asked again, "Would those girls also study with you?"

"Of course!" Bai Xingjie said for granted.

Master Li pondered for a moment and finally nodded.

"Try it first. I'll teach them the class tomorrow at the hour of the New Year." Mr. Li was a kind-hearted person, but when he saw such a group of children, he couldn't bear to refuse. "You have to prepare some books for them, and I don't ask everyone to have one, but at least one."

"You name me, I'll buy it now."

"Let's start with "The Great Zhao Kingdom"." This is the most basic enlightenment book in the Great Zhao Kingdom.

"good."

Bai Xingge personally sent Master Li back home, and then turned to a book shop in Xicheng. This shop called Lailang Study is much smaller than the big book shops in Dongcheng and Nancheng, but it is the cheapest one. Laidang is all civilian scholars.

"Hello, do you want to buy books or the four treasures of the study?" The shopkeeper Dian glanced at Bai Xing's eyes, not warm or cold.

Bai Xingge said bluntly: "Mr. Li introduced me to him, so I need nine books of "The Great Zhao Kingdom" and nine sets of four treasures in the study."

The shopkeeper showed a gloomy expression and asked, "The four treasures of the study are usually single-choice. If they are complete, we can match them here. What price do the customers want?"

Bai Xingge didn’t understand these things, but when buying things, it was just the sayings, “It’s affordable and suitable for ordinary people to use. It’s best not to use them, but it’s not bad.”

After Bai Xingge finished speaking, he added, "We have nine little babies in our family who want to study, so we may often come to trouble the shopkeeper in the future."

The shopkeeper was a little surprised. It was normal for nine children from big families to study, but they rarely come to him to buy pens and ink. Even if there are so many children in poor families, they will not let the children go to study at all. It would be great if they could choose one or two.

"No trouble, I also want to thank you for sending me business." The shopkeeper asked the waiter to pick up the pen and ink, but he personally selected nine inkstones.

"What do you think of these inkstones?" The shopkeeper took them to Bai Xing's head, "Although the inkstone is not big and there are no carvings and decorations, the materials are all good, and the price is not expensive, which is very suitable for beginners."

"How much is one silver?" Bai Xingge asked directly.

"One or two, no divalent."

"Okay." The price of Bai Xingkong is acceptable, lower than she thought. "In addition to those pens and books, you can calculate the total price."

In the end, the shopkeeper received twelve taels of silver from Baixing, of which the inkstone was the most expensive, followed by books. As for pens and ink, all the tiny pieces of silver were only one tael of silver.
