Chapter 282: Sent back to the dental clinic, the remaining people
"Ma'am, I have finished writing it down."
"I've written it too."
"And I···"
There were people whispering to each other and looking around, and naturally there were also people burying their heads in writing. As time passed, people finished their dictation one after another. Shen Xiangwan opened his eyes, sat up straight, and waved to those who had finished writing.
"lady."
Those who had finished reciting the text lined up and came forward. Shen Xiangwan took the Thousand Character Essay from the first person and took a look at it. Although the handwriting was still very eye-catching, every word was written out without missing a single word, and there were not even any typos. It was obvious that the other party had really worked hard in private.
"Very good, wait in the hallway."
"Yes."
Seeing that he had passed the test, the boy, who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen, breathed a sigh of relief and followed her instructions to go to the empty corridor. When they started the timed dictation, Wei Jingyi and others asked the children who were watching to go back to the classroom to continue studying. In order not to affect them, they did not let the children read the textbooks anymore, but taught them to practice writing.
Next, Shen Xiangwan looked at the Thousand Character Classic that other people had written one by one. Basically, everyone's handwriting could not be called good-looking. Some were like the first person, with every word correct and no typos. Some made one or two mistakes. Overall, Shen Xiangwan was quite satisfied and asked them to go to the corridor. She was not a strict person. The fact that they could write it out proved that they had really tried their best. It was inevitable that they made a few mistakes. They just needed to pay more attention in the future. After all, they had only been learning for more than two months.
"time up."
"what?"
Half an hour passed quickly, and Yuan Ying's voice mixed with his internal strength was clearly heard in every corner of the school. The remaining people looked up reflexively, and the panic on their faces and eyes was obvious, especially those who had only written a few words. As soon as they thought that they might be sent back to the pawnshop, their hands holding the brushes could not stop shaking.
"Anyone else want to show it to me?"
Shen Xiangwan crossed her legs and leaned back in her chair, looking around at them, then calmly gave them another chance. Those who dared to show her their work at this time, even if they had not finished reciting it, should have at least written most of it. If there were not many typos, she would not mind keeping them.
"···"
The yard was completely quiet, and no one stood up. Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan supported himself on the armrest of the chair and stood up: "Yuan Ying, go back and find two people, harness the carriage, and send them all back to the pawnshop."
"Yes."
"No ma'am, please give me another chance, I promise I will study hard."
"Madam, please have mercy and give us another chance."
"I know I was wrong. Please don't send me back to the dental clinic."
"lady···"
Yuanying bowed and accepted the order. When the boys and girls heard that they were going to be sent back to the pawnshop, they stood up and knelt on the ground to kowtow to her. They had been accustomed to a life of no worries about food and clothing, and did not want to go back to the pawnshop, let alone be bought and sold by others. No matter what, they wanted to stay here, and in the future they would work hard to learn to read and write, and would never dare to make jokes or do things perfunctorily again.
"You seem to have made a mistake. I'm not begging you to study, but you have to study hard to stay. I've already given you the opportunity, but you don't know how to cherish it. Since you don't want to live a good life, then go back to where you came from. There's no room for big Buddhas like you here."
With a glance, Shen Xiangwan said indifferently that she thought she had been good enough to them, but they themselves did not know how to cherish her, so don't blame her for being ruthless and cutting it off with one stroke.
"No, ma'am, we were wrong, we really know we were wrong, please..." "Ma'am..."
Hearing this, twenty or thirty people became even more panicked. They kept kowtowing to her, tears rolling down their eyes uncontrollably. However, Shen Xiangwan ignored them. Soon, Yuan Ying came with the guards. The boys and girls with their heads bruised were unwilling to leave, but they were no match for Yuan Ying and the others. After a short while, they were dragged out one by one and thrown into the carriage.
"Yuanying, go to the dental clinic yourself."
"what?"
Yuan Ying, who was about to go back, paused and then asked worriedly, "Madam, you won't go out, will you?"
There was no way. Their wife had a history of running around, and Yuanyue was not at home. She was really afraid that she would not be able to see her when she came back.
"will not."
Shen Xiangwan nodded with a smile and gave her a reassuring look.
Yuan Ying looked at her deeply for a long time before leaving with a suspicious attitude, which made Shen Xiangwan's head ache. Did she look so untrustworthy? However... she was really going to go out for a while later!
It was just a dictation test, but there were only twenty people left, more than half of the original number. This showed how little they took what she and the teachers said to heart. Shen Xiangwan asked the remaining people to move the desks and chairs back to the classroom, and she sat in the teacher's seat and watched them.
"Don't say I don't give you a chance to choose. Those who don't want to learn to read and write can stand up now. If you are willing, I can arrange for you to do other work, or go back to the dental clinic."
After a moment, Shen Xiangwan suddenly spoke up. To be honest, she felt a little upset when she saw these people who stayed behind. Although she had not paid much attention to them in the past few months, she had provided them with good living conditions. Each of them wore brand new fine cotton clothes, which made them look more respectable than the villagers. But what was the result? They disappointed her so much that she didn't even want to teach them medicine anymore.
"Husband, ma'am, I want to learn to read and write."
He quickly raised his head to look at her, and the boy who handed in the paper first said with courage that he really wanted to learn to read and write, and he was grateful and respected the lady from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for her, how could he, a servant, live such a life and learn to read and write? Therefore, after school every day, he practiced writing according to the teacher's requirements. In order to save paper, he also made a sandbox by himself and practiced repeatedly on the sandbox with branches. This is why he was able to hand in the paper so quickly.
"Ma'am, we do too."
Afraid that they would be sent away if they spoke too slowly, the rest of the people expressed their opinion in unison.
Shen Xiangwan did not respond immediately. He scanned them one by one before saying, "In that case, then study hard and learn to read. I will test you from time to time. If I find anyone joking around and living a dull life again, I will not just send you back to the dental clinic."
"Yes."
At this time, no one dared to say no. They were really frightened by Shen Xiangwan's decisiveness. Besides, those who could stay were either smart or really hardworking. They all knew clearly that as long as they were willing to work hard, the lady would not make things difficult for them.
"Also, starting tomorrow, you don't have to come to the school anymore. I'll have someone clean up a room next to the main house, and you'll study there from now on."
It's October in a blink of an eye. At the latest by early next year, they should be fighting against the Western Hu people. By then, there must be enough surgeons involved. Since they can already read, they should also try to learn surgical skills. As for the problem of writing, they can just practice it slowly in the future. This is one of the reasons why she came to the school today to test them.
"Yes."
Although they couldn't guess her intention, everyone still responded respectfully, not daring to go against her wishes at all.
