Seeing that Luo Shitou couldn't call him back, Cai Rong came over with a cane.
Seeing Meng Changqing asking, Cai Rong talked about the reason.
It's sad to say this, just for a piece of paper.
The Luo siblings are making good progress in their studies. After writing new words silently in class in the morning, Mr. Cai gave each of them a piece of paper and assigned them the next stage of homework, which was to write the sentences taught yesterday on the paper.
When Luo Shitou was doing his homework, he accidentally soiled Luo Yun's paper.
Cai Rong was holding the piece of paper in his hand. Meng Changqing saw that most of it was covered with ink dots. From an arm's length away, he could smell the smell of poor-quality ink on the paper.
The paper and pens currently given to children in the school need to be distributed according to their learning progress. Some learn quickly. If you can pass Cai Rong's test, you can get these from Cai Rong. They are very cheap pens, ink and paper, and some can learn quickly. Slow, then we don’t even have these poor pens and papers.
I mean, can I really not afford this piece of paper and this pen?
It seems difficult to say this clearly.
Although she, Meng Changqing, cried poverty in front of Cai Rong, she had some wealth after all, and was far wealthier than ordinary people. Buying dozens of pieces of paper and dozens of pens is no problem at all.
But her family's wealth was saved by her family, not by Meng Changqing's tenure in Beishan County. How could she have the face to pretend to be generous with money earned by others?
She is far more stingy than Qi Renli.
Just talking about the money allocated by the yamen to the government schools, it is really a piece of paper that must be carefully calculated and nothing can be wasted.
Cai Rong stood in front of Meng Changqing, feeling sad for the stained paper on his hands. He also complained that Meng Changqing had collected so many taxes but was still unwilling to be more generous to the school.
Seeing that Cai Rong was about to complain, Meng Changqing hurriedly said: "Master will quickly catch the stone and return it to Mr. Cai without delaying Mr. Cai's lesson."
After saying that, she quickly took a few steps back.
The words Cai Rong wanted to say were stuck in his throat. He had no chance to say them out, so he turned around and lectured the student, "Luo Shitou, you soiled your sister's paper. Don't tell me whether you had the intention or not, just the result. You did destroy her paper and deserve to be punished, reach out.”
Luo Shitou tremblingly stretched out his hand, but he still couldn't help but defend himself, "I really didn't mean it."
No matter what he said, the palm of his hand was slapped three times. Luo Shitou held his swollen hand, his eyes were red, and he felt extremely aggrieved.
Seeing him like this, Luo Yun felt uncomfortable. Mr. Paper had already supplied her with supplies, and looking at Luo Shitou's appearance, it seemed that she had gone too far.
Just when Luo Yun was doubting himself, Xi Bei, who had walked away, turned back and asked, "My lord, have you had lunch?"
The two siblings looked up at him with confusion in their eyes, but they still answered honestly: "I have eaten."
"Your Excellency said that during the lunch break, I would like to ask you to go to the Yamen for a walk."
When Luo Shitou heard that there was such a good thing, his hands no longer hurt, his heart no longer felt aggrieved, and he immediately became full of energy.
The two of them followed Xi Bei through the gate, walked all the way in, and stopped at the door of Qianya's study.
The Luo family siblings were still in a state of excitement, and they were amazed by the scenery they saw since they entered the house.
Bafang was already standing at the door. When he saw the two children arriving, he opened the door and led them in.
The two children were inevitably restrained. Their eyes looked curiously, but they did not dare to move their feet, and their hands were clasped in front of their stomachs.
Meng Changqing was polite and did not treat these two people as children, so he asked them to sit down.
When Luo Shitou saw such a clean bench, and then thought of his gray clothes, he was afraid that he would get dirty, "Sir, I'd better stand."
When he said this, his sister Luo Yun had already sat down. When she heard what he said, she didn't know whether to stand up or continue sitting.
Meng Changqing noticed their embarrassment and said with a smile: "Those stools are very strong and not easy to break, so you can sit on them with confidence. Of course, if you feel comfortable standing, you can also stand, whatever makes you feel comfortable."

After Meng Changqing finished speaking, he took two pieces of paper from his desk and handed them to Luo Yun and Luo Shitou respectively. (End of chapter)
