I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 227 The Best Teacher

As soon as she heard that the Lin family intended to flee to Baijia Village, Gu Wenxuan privately instructed her grandparents and parents to ensure that they entertained the family with the highest standards.

Now that they have finally made up their minds to move here, Gu Wenxuan will certainly not give up the great opportunity to let them shine.

At the welcoming banquet held by the Gu family for the Lin family, she offered a glass of tea to Lin's father instead of wine, "Grandpa Lin, can I ask you and Uncle Lin for a favor?"

Father Lin smiled gently, "Kid, just tell us what you want and what you need us to do."

Gu Wenxuan was not polite. She just said what Lin's father asked her to say.

"I would like to ask you and Uncle Lin to be our tutors. Not only for my four younger brothers, but also for myself, my cousin, my fiancé, and some other people I want to train."

"Of course, I won't let you and Uncle Lin work for nothing. I plan to give you and Uncle Lin a monthly stipend of 28 taels of silver each, and there will be additional gifts for the four or eight festivals."

"Wenxuan?" Lin Shuzhen's eyes widened in shock, "You, you..."

She wanted to say, "You have too much money but don't know where to spend it?" But when she thought about the fact that the people who took the money were her own father and brother, she felt embarrassed to say so.

The other members of the Gu family didn't say anything, but their expressions were exactly the same as Lin Shuzhen's.

They all knew that students attending the town's school had to pay six to ten taels of silver per year, depending on the class they were in. Spread out to about five to eight cents per month, that was about the same.

Gu Wenxuan has only a dozen children who want to go to school. That is to say, if they are sent to the school in the town, they only need to pay a dozen taels of silver in tuition at most per month.

But what about Gu Wenxuan? She asked for twenty-eight taels right away, and that was twenty-eight taels per person. Isn't this just "having money but nowhere to spend it"?

Like the Gu family, Lin's father was also shocked by Gu Wenxuan, but he was simply shocked by Gu Wenxuan's generosity, instead of subconsciously thinking that Gu Wenxuan's deal was not cost-effective like others.

You have to know that he was a double-listed Jinshi, and his son had also been a Juren. If he had not been framed and his family had not been exiled with him, his son might have been able to obtain the title of Jinshi and enter the officialdom in time.

Judging from their status, knowledge and personal experience, the price Gu Wenxuan offered was really not high. But if we take into account Gu Wenxuan's family background and the market conditions in Qingshan County, the price Gu Wenxuan offered was really shockingly high.

What he didn't know was that Gu Wenxuan was not short of money. She asked for twenty-eight taels just to follow the market and not appear to be too outrageous.

The reason why the Lin father and son were tempted by the price of twenty-eight taels was that although they were knowledgeable, they were exiles after all. If it were not for a family like hers who knew the Lin family inside and out, even if other people were envious of their knowledge, they would have to consider the crime that Lin's father had once been charged with.

This is also why for so many years, the Lin family father and son have been relying on copying books to supplement their family income instead of directly working as tutors in wealthy families.

"Second aunt, come on, help me to speak for them." Gu Wenxuan pulled her second aunt Lin Shuzhen over and said, "Although I can't give a salary that matches the knowledge and character of Grandpa Lin and Uncle Lin, I can bring people to escort Grandpa Lin and his family when they return to their hometown. It is more cost-effective, safer, more thoughtful and more reliable than hiring someone from the escort agency."

Gu Wenxuan spoke beautifully, and the Lin family felt very comfortable after hearing it. In addition, when Gu Wenxuan said that she could escort them back to their hometown, the Lin family was indeed very moved.

The Lin family father and son pondered for a moment, then turned their gazes towards Old Man Gu and Gu Yongming in tacit understanding.

One of these two people is the head of the Gu family, and the other is Gu Wenxuan's biological father. Whether they agree with Gu Wenxuan's decision or not directly determines whether the Lin family father and son will agree to Gu Wenxuan's request.

Old Master Gu said cheerfully, "Don't look at me, my dear relatives. I don't understand these things. It's fine as long as Wenxuan thinks it's okay."

Gu Yongming also smiled back at the Lin family father and son, "If you two have other needs, you can also raise them. As long as we can do it, we will do our best to meet them."

Father Lin waved his hand, "Not really."

Gu Wenxuan smiled, "So it's settled then?"

Father Lin smiled and nodded, "It's settled."

He was a responsible man. He had just promised Gu Wenxuan to be a teacher to a group of people including her. After dinner, Father Lin asked in detail about the basic situation of his and Brother Lin's students.

Although Brother Lin didn't say anything, he sat quietly next to Father Lin and listened carefully to Gu Wenxuan's introduction of their future students.

The attitude of the two made the other members of the Gu family no longer think that Gu Wenxuan had too much money to spend.

When you send your child to a cram school, the teacher will not treat him or her seriously and responsibly.

In their impression, teachers in private schools would not know the students' specific situations in such detail, let alone teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

They will only lecture at their own pace and read from the textbook. As for whether you can understand, how much you can understand, how much you can remember, and whether you can integrate it, those are not what they care about.

To put it bluntly, if you don't pay the full amount, the gentleman will just treat you like an ordinary sheep and let you graze at will.

Gu Wenxuan, who spent a large sum of money on her own initiative, did not expect that her family could convince them so quickly that the money was worth it.

After the Lin family left the Gu family, she had originally planned to tell them in detail why the father and son of the Lin family deserved this treatment from her. However, before she could open her mouth, Mr. Gu and Mrs. Li praised the father and son of the Lin family for their conscientiousness and responsibility.

Gu Yongming and Jia Guizhi also nodded in agreement. They might not have much knowledge, but they could still tell whether others were doing their best.

Hearing them praising the Lin father and son, Gu Wenxuan couldn't help but smile slightly.

What she cared about was different from what Mr. Gu and the others cared about. What she was more satisfied with about the father and son of the Lin family was that they were not picky about their students at all.

They accepted several girls, including herself, without any reservations. They also did not arbitrarily assume that her cousin, who was already married and was an older student, was going to be like this for the rest of his life and there was no need for him to study anymore.

She did not say this immediately because she wanted to observe whether the Lin father and son could truly teach without distinction and treat everyone equally during their future teaching careers.

If they can, then she will follow the rules of this era and really treat the Lin father and son as important elders comparable to her parents.
