Chapter 304
"Grandfather of the village chief." Ding Shitou hurriedly saluted the village chief and explained, "Ding Shi is in class, so a boy named Li Sheng took him over."

"Originally he didn't take out the invitation card, and Ding Shi didn't know who he was. Later, he took out the invitation card amidst everyone's doubts."

"Ding Shi was terrified, and hurriedly asked the schoolchildren to leave school early, so he hurried over. He was going to celebrate the old master's birthday, and explain why Ding Shi was late."

Ding Shitou clearly explained the whole story to the village chief, but unceremoniously pointed out the rudeness of the Xia family and sued him.

Even if the guests sitting here are all ordinary farm guests, there are quite a few of them. If she doesn't get ahead and make the point clear, who knows what will be waiting for her later.

"You are new to our Nancheng Village, and you don't know people from Jiangxia Village yet. I will go with you and introduce you to the old scholar Xia." The village chief said immediately after hearing this.

Ding Shitou hurriedly bowed gratefully, and followed behind the village chief.

Xia Xiaoxiucai couldn't say anything when he saw this, so he made a gesture of please.

In the open room, Xia Laoxiu was scribbling ink at the table, and a few young men of letters were waving their fans and admiring.

"Father, Mrs. Ding from Nancheng Village has come to pay his respects to his birthday." Xia Xiaoxiu bowed and reported very politely.

Ding Shitou almost curled his lips, they are just a few scholars, they are really pretending.

"In Dingshi, Xianancheng Village, I wish the old master Xia a long life, a prosperous life, and a bright future! Dexin and elegant family will be blessed forever!"

Ding Shitou bowed to the old man who was standing in front of the table and looked over, as a big salute, congratulated loudly, and expressed his praises.

She is so polite, she shouldn't be tense at the beginning.

"Are you the child of the school in Nancheng Village?" Old Xiacai smiled when Ding Shitou flattered him, but he spoke a little arrogantly.

"It's just that, when I was young, I read a few books with Mr. Xixi and knew a few words. Now I teach a few village children who have no money to enlighten them in Nancheng Village, just to make ends meet."

Facing the contempt of the senior master, Ding Shitou was neither humble nor overbearing, and kept a low profile.

She said that she had only read a few books, and that she was leading village children who had no money to be educated, and she was just making ends meet.

She has no intention of competing with Jiangxia Village School's position. First, make it clear that if the Xia family is still aggressive, it will appear too arrogant. Bullying the weak with strength is really not a skill.

And if she defends her position in the subsequent attacks, others will not be blind, and they will judge by themselves.

Therefore, the Xia family chose to pick her up today, but in fact they made a hot potato to embarrass themselves.

Of course, if they were just testing her and making friends with her today, that kind of hidden danger wouldn't happen.

It depends on how they choose.

Although it was hard to guard against backstabs, Dan Ding Shitou took a defensive position as soon as he came, and smiled indifferently at the moment.

"Your son is really smart. If he enters the imperial examination in the future, he will definitely do something." Mr. Xia put down his brush, twitched his beard and looked at Ding Shitou approvingly.

"As the eldest brother, Ding Shi puts his family first and has no intention of taking the imperial examination." Ding Shitou smiled, expressing his position again, which is also a kind of temptation.

Sure enough, when she said that she had no intention of taking the imperial examination, the guests at the side showed regretful expressions, but Xia's father and son curled their lips and showed disdainful eyes.

A young man who has studied for several years, who has no intention of taking the imperial examination means giving up progress, so he still wants to start a private school?It really is to teach a few mud-legged people to know a few big characters.

"Even if you open a private school, you still need to read more books. Don't rest on your laurels and mislead your children." The old scholar Xia instructed and turned around to continue writing.
