Chapter 173: Mr. Yu
It turned out that the old man came to Xishan County from the north to look for relatives, but his relatives were not found, but his body was entangled but used up, and when he passed by the Qian family's house, he fainted with hunger.
Qian Yijin showed compassion and asked Wan Dazhong to help the old man into the house, gave him a meal, took a bath, and let him stay for a night. The next day, the relieved old man read the words written by Qian Yijin, and kept shaking his head and sighing. Words are human faces, a very beautiful child, why do you write unbearable words. In order to repay Qian Yijin's "life-saving" grace, he pointed out the shortcomings of his handwriting, and also wrote a few big characters.
Qian Yijin was not convinced, and the old man said that his handwriting was unbearable, and his own handwriting was the best in the private school, and even Mr. Zhang praised him several times. But when he saw the strong and powerful characters written by the old man, he was convinced. I never thought that this old man who was dying of hunger could write such beautiful and good words.
The old man sighed, "It's a shame to say that the old man was lifted when he was young, and he has been teaching and educating people. Hey, my wife died early, and I had no children, so I came here in my later years to join my relatives, and my money bag was stolen, and I didn't find my relatives......"
Wan Dazhong on the side was overjoyed when he heard this, and reminded Qian Yijindao, "Jinwa, this old gentleman is over-educated, and his knowledge must be much better than Mr. Zhang." You take him to your house, and the old gentleman teaches you and visits his relatives. It not only relieves his difficulties, but also teaches you knowledge, the best of both worlds. Then he asked the old man, "What is my idea?" His house is large for you to eat and shelter in, and you will teach him. If you find a relative, you can go to your relatives. If you don't want to join your family, continue to teach him. This boy is very clever and righteous, and if you teach him to be good, he will surely provide for you. Sometimes, it's better to rely on relatives than on students. ”
Qian Yijin heard it, yes, although Mr. Zhang is a good gentleman, he can only enlighten, if he continues to teach deeply, he will be a little powerless. Song Gongzi has been persuading himself to change to a gentleman, and this may be a good opportunity.
The old man thought about it, and felt that there was no better way out.
So, the two hit it off. Wan Dazhong testified that Qian Yijin kowtowed on the spot and worshiped this old Mr. Yu as a teacher.
Qian Sangui was very happy when he saw that his grandson brought back a person who had been lifted in his early years to be his master, and hurriedly asked Wu to prepare a room for Mr. Yu.
There was no room in the small courtyard, so I picked a room in the big courtyard and came out, the furniture and beds were new, and asked Qian Xiaoyu to quickly make two new clothes for Mr. Yu.
This Mr. Yu is in his fifties, his hair is thin, his appearance is not good, and a thin jacket wraps around a skinny body. If he hadn't come to the house and showed his hand - wrote a few big characters, Qian Yixiu would have thought that he was here to cheat and cheat.
Qian Yixiu pulled Qian Yijin into the courtyard and asked, "In addition to Mr. Yu's good handwriting, how is his knowledge?" ”
"Good!" Qian Yijin said, "The article he analyzed made my brother feel suddenly opened." ”
Seeing his sister's big eyes full of suspicion, he said hurtfully, "My sister can't doubt Mr. Yu, this is not only disrespectful to Mr. Yu, but also distrust of my brother." ”
As a result, this Mr. Yu was still arrogant, and when Qian Sangui asked if he could teach one more student, he refused without hesitation. also said wildly, "If you want to be a student for the old man, it depends on whether he has the ability." However, the old man dares to assert that in this place, in addition to Qian Yijin, there is no baby that the old man is willing to teach. ”
Qian Sangui had no choice but to laugh and stop talking. He wanted to help Qian Yishan fight for it, but seeing Mr. Yu like this, he didn't dare to mention it again.
Everything is inferior, only reading is high.
Even if this old man has to rely on Qian Sangui for food and drink, but because he is a scholar who has been lifted by the middle, Qian Sangui still has a sense of awe for him.
Although Mr. Yu said that he would leave when he found relatives, and he did not need to be restrained. But Qian Sangui still insisted on giving, he knew that he generally gave two taels of silver a year to invite Xixi, including food and clothing, and a small servant. He also gave this treatment, but his own subordinates had a period, so he let Su Sanwu and Su Siwu go to serve Mr. Yu instead. He also said that he would rest now and give a lecture on the 10th day of the first month.
Mr. Yu disagreed, saying, "Between the world and the world, if the white horse passes through the gap, it will be all of a sudden. There can be no further delay. ”
From the next day, the formal classes began in a large courtyard. The dim sum room is also in the big courtyard, and the noise is constant. Fortunately, one is concentrating on educating people, and the other is concentrating on learning, and the impact is not great.
This made Qian Sangui even more determined to persuade the big house and the second house to move the workshop to the county seat at the beginning of next year. The cost may be higher, but you will earn more.
The news that Qian Sangui specially invited a teacher for his grandson spread in Huaxi Village. The third room of the Qian family has been issued, the third room of the Qian family has paid for the west seat, and the third room of the Qian family is going to change the courtyard.
Mr. Zhang heard that a man in distress came to the third room of the Qian family, and he came to see him with candy.
However, Mr. Yu insisted on inviting Mr. Zhang into the room after the class and let Mr. Zhang sit on the cold bench for more than half an hour.
After some conversation, Mr. Zhang actually got up and bowed to Mr. Yu, and called himself a student.
This made Qian Sangui even happier. Mr. Zhang is already the most knowledgeable and respected person in this area, and the person who can be called Mr. by him must have real talent and learning.
I've really found a treasure at home.
In the courtyard of the Qian family, the Wang family was a little unhappy, and the family invited a good gentleman, why not take Qian Yishan with him to teach? You don't have to mention this matter yourself, Qian Sangui should also take the initiative to mention it.
said to Old Man Qian, "Father-in-law, Mr. Yu is so good at learning, let Shanwa learn from him." It's a big deal, let's share the shackles of Mr. Please with the third uncle. ”
Old man Qian also thought so, nodded and said, "It's not enough to share the bondage, Sangui is not such a stingy person." I'm going to go to the third room and talk to him. He looked up at Qian Sigui who had just rushed home for the New Year, and said, "After the year, you don't want to take Po Boy to the provincial capital, let him stay here and follow Mr. Yu to school." With the guidance of famous teachers, the study will be very different. ”
Qian Sigui hurriedly nodded yes.
At the next day, Old Man Qian and Mrs. Qian came to Qian Sangui's house together.
When I opened the door of the hall and opened the thick curtain, a burst of heat came to my face. The old couple sat down, and the old man Qian said that he wanted Mr. Yu to teach Qian Manpo and Qian Yishan.
Qian Sangui said helplessly, "On the night Mr. Yu came, his son said that he would ask him to take Shanwa to teach together, but he refused. ”
Old man Qian said, "Rectify a few good dishes in the evening, and our father and son will have a few drinks with Mr." Talk to him well, and if you put a little more restraint on it, he will definitely agree. ”
Qian Sangui smiled bitterly, "Except for the first day, my son had dinner with him and talked for a while, and we didn't even meet after that." invited him over for dinner, but he didn't come, saying that he was not used to the crowds. ”
Mrs. Qian was unhappy, and scolded with a crooked mouth, "He took your family's money and ate your family's food, why didn't he listen to the greeting." Resigned, find another one, if you have money, you are afraid that you will not find a good gentleman? ”
Old man Qian scolded, "You country woman, you know a fart." Mr. Yu is a lifter, a Wenqu star in the sky, you can find it if you want to find it? He can come to teach Jinwa, it is the smoke of the ancestral tomb of our old Qian family, and the ancestors bless it. He also said to Qian Sangui, "Since he doesn't want to, forget it, don't offend him for Shanwa and Po Boy." ”
In the evening, Qian Sangui left the old couple to eat at home.
Mrs. Qian was scolded by the old man, she was angry and didn't dare to speak, she had already thrown a few knives from the Wu family, and she really couldn't find her fault. Seeing Cheng Yue and Qian Yixiu's mother and daughter who came in hand in hand, they finally had a place to vent.
Crooked his mouth and scolded Qian Yixiu, "It's just a little girl, and what kind of silk clothes are she wearing, and she looks brighter than the young lady of the landlord's family." Yo, tsk, and I also wore a silver hairpin, which is really rich and has no land to spend. ”
pointed at Wu with a crutch and scolded, "You loser mother-in-law, you don't waste money like this." With so much money, you can buy more tonic medicine for my son, and give Jinwa more meat to replenish her body, why are you piling it up on the little girl's body? ”
The old lady's body and bones are much better, although she speaks slowly, but she is also full of energy.
Before Wu and Qian Yixiu could say anything, Cheng Yue was reluctant and said, "Xiu'er just wants to wear silk clothes, and my daughter just wants to look good like this." ”
When the old lady saw Cheng Yue talking back, she was even more angry, she wanted to scold people but didn't listen to her call, so she was so angry that she got up with a crutch and wanted to rush up to beat someone, but was stopped by Wu and Qian Manxia. Qian Yixiu also pulled Cheng Yue out of the hall.
Qian Sangui persuaded, "Mother, Manjiang's daughter-in-law is sick, don't be like her." Xiu'er's clothes and hairpins were not bought with money, but were given by the old lady of the Song family in the provincial capital. Didn't you send a few feet to Duoduo and Tinggu with that material? ”
When Mrs. Qian heard this, she sat down angrily.
"Grandpa, grandma." Qian Yijin entered the house with a smile. His arrival, like a spring breeze, blew away the harsh winter on the old lady's face, and immediately the earth returned to spring, and the spring flowers bloomed.
In the blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the family had to go to the Qian family compound to eat New Year's dinner, and they also had to go to the Qian family ancestors and Qian Manjiang to the grave.
Cheng Yue definitely won't go, and before her children left, she quietly told them, "Don't go and kowtow to that fake grave, your father will be back soon." ”
The little brother and sister had to nod in agreement.
Qian Yijin invited Mr. Yu again and again, and Qian Sangui was carried to the courtyard to invite him, but he resolutely did not go to the Qian family's compound for New Year's dinner. said that he didn't like a lot of people, and he was used to spending the New Year alone. Qian Sangui had to instruct the Su Erwu brothers to serve the old gentleman well.
A large family, after returning from the big tomb bag, changed into happy new clothes, and gathered in the Qian family's compound for New Year's dinner. This year's New Year's dinner is more abundant, with chicken, duck and fish all kinds of meat, and plates on the table.
Old man Qian, as in previous years, made a summary, first praised Qian Sangui, followed by Qian Dagui and Qian Sigui, and then Qian Manhe. Finally, he also praised Xiao Wang, who imported Tianding for the Qian family, and Xu, who was pregnant again.
After the meal, the Qian brothers held a board of directors meeting, and the old man Qian attended as a supervisor, and everyone discussed the matter of opening the dim sum shop in the county.
Qian Yixiu and Qian Manting, Qian Yiduo played with the rope in the Duoduo house.
Qian Manting asked Duoduo in a low voice, "Yesterday I seemed to hear Sister Die's crying, and the eldest aunt was still scolding her." What's going on? ”
Duoduo crossed his mouth and said, "It seems that two more families have come to propose marriage to Aunt Die, and my grandmother has taken a fancy to a descendant, and asked someone to inquire, saying that it is excellent." But the little aunt was unwilling, saying that she didn't want to get married, so the grandmother scolded her and pinched her twice. ”
No wonder Qian Yixiu saw Qian Mandie's eyes red, and as soon as Qian Manxia went, she was pulled into the hut and whispered.
Qian Yixiu said, "Aunt Die doesn't want to forget it, why is grandma so anxious." ”
"This time, my grandfather and grandfather both said that the offspring was good, and they wanted to persuade my aunt to marry her. My aunt was forced to be anxious and said that she was going to cut her hair and become a sister-in-law, so they didn't say anything. Qian Yiduo said.
At this time, Wang was whispering to Wu and Wang in her house, "That descendant is really good, his family is a small landowner with more than 100 acres of land. The mother-in-law has been dead for a few years and has an eight-year-old daughter. Although he is a few years older, he knows that it hurts people more when he is older. Although Aunt Diegu said that she would be a stepmother as soon as she got married, she was a daughter, and she would marry after a few years, which was much better than those stepmothers who raised sons for their ex-wives. I also asked someone to inquire, and said that Hou Sheng had a good temper and his in-laws were kind. But Aunt Die's child just doesn't want to ......"
Before he finished speaking, his eyes were red again.
The Wu family and the Wang family didn't have much to say about this, so they had to persuade the Wang family to want to open some, Diegu is still young, and maybe they can meet a better one if they wait.
After the meeting, Qian Sangui led his family back to his home
As soon as they walked to the west entrance of the village, they could see Qian Xiaofeng, Qian Xiaolei, and Su Sanwu setting off firecrackers on the wasteland. The wilderness is a lively scene.
The big red lanterns hanging at the entrance of the courtyard and on the treetops in the courtyard are extremely eye-catching, adding a bit of joy to the large courtyard.
When Qian Yijin saw it, he also excitedly pulled his sister and ran over.
Qian Hua and others closed the Jinxiu Store on the first day, and they all rushed back to the countryside from the county seat for the New Year.
The family had a good time, not only the owner bought new clothes, but even the people bought two sets of clothes, and they also gave year-end silver. In particular, Qian Hua, in view of his outstanding contributions, gave him a big red envelope of ten taels of silver.
The master's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was placed in the hall of the small courtyard, and a small table was specially set up next to it, Qian Hua and Old Man Cai ate at the small table to show their favor, and the other people were in the large courtyard.
Qian Sangui went to Mr. Yu's cottage with Qian Yijin, and repeatedly invited him to the main house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but Mr. Yu had to reluctantly agree.
Before it got dark, the Chinese New Year's Eve meal began.
Mr. Yu saw Cheng Yue for the first time, and he couldn't help but be stunned. I think it's unbelievable that a farmer's family can marry such a good-looking daughter-in-law. The point is, he always felt that she was a little familiar, and he didn't know where he had seen her.
It can be seen that her eyes are a little different from ordinary people, and she must not be very clear-headed. Otherwise, this phoenix would not have landed in this nest under any circumstances.
He had already heard Qian Yijin say that his mother's health was not very good, but it turned out that his brain was not very good. (To be continued.) )
