Chapter VIII
Hearing this Yuequan's body shook, a cool breeze blew into her head and her body trembled suddenly, she remembered, Cheng Qing, an academician of the Hanlin Academy of Forestry, the third generation of emperor teachers, retired to the mountains and forests last year and didn't know where to go, even His Majesty didn't know, it turned out to be here to live in seclusion, no wonder she was familiar but couldn't remember, because she had only seen one time, and her memory was intermittent and incomplete, and she didn't remember it of course.
"Uncle Cheng," Yuequan lowered his head and shouted in a low voice, at a loss like a child who had admitted his mistake.
Cheng Qing shook his head and sighed, "Don't be afraid, I won't hand you over, don't worry." ”
Yuequan bowed her head and was silent, it wasn't that she didn't want to say it, but she didn't know what to say, but her mother-in-law asked, "Master Cheng, I don't know if I should talk about it or not." ”
"Say it!"
"Master Li is a good person, even those of us who know why he ......"
"The monarch wants the minister to die, the minister has to die" to the end, can they understand that it depends on themselves, the too upright Lord Li has checked something that should not be checked, whether he is wronged or not, Lord Li has to die.
Mother-in-law knows the importance of it, curious to kill the cat, knows that the more she dies, the sooner she dies, the mother-in-law is older, she is already a person who has stepped into the coffin, and she dies early and late, the only thing she is worried about is the safety of the young lady, the case has not disappeared for a day, the young lady will always live in the dark, and the mother-in-law sighs "What do the adults do with the young lady?" ”
"Rest assured, sister, there is a day when the old man is in danger of Xiaoshi's safety." After receiving a satisfactory reply, the mother-in-law knelt down with tears in her eyes and kowtowed deeply, expressing her gratitude.
Mother-in-law's heavy behavior frightened them, and hurriedly helped up her mother-in-law, and after comforting her mother-in-law, Cheng Qing looked at Yuequan and smiled, "Xiaoshi, I am old and lack of energy, my body can't bear it, a good master is difficult to please, can you help Uncle Cheng teach the child time, of course you won't let you work in vain, how about three buckets of rice and two copper coins a day?" "One bucket is equal to 10 liters
Don't be a fool for such a good thing, what she is lacking now is food and money, although the money is small and accumulates a lot, the happy days will not be too far away.
"Okay, deal."
"Let's start tomorrow! I asked Lu Sheng to send the books taught in the school, and if you have any questions, you can ask Lu Sheng, and I will pay for a month's rice and money first. After speaking, he stepped away, as if he was afraid that Yuequan would regret it.
Cheng Qing moved really fast, whether it was books or rice delivered one by one in less than an hour, including the Chen family's pots and pans, furniture, etc., the living room was full of piles, which made Yuequan worry to death, there was nothing to worry about, there was something to worry about, why worry, when would so many things be sorted out? It can't be finished when it's dark, especially the clothes and quilts need to be cleaned and exposed, but there are too many, how to get it, there is no drying rack at all, the more I think about it, the more worried I am.
"Big sister, I heard that you became a female master?" The news was really well-informed, and Yuequan nodded at the person she didn't know.
"That, that, my Ermaozi is ten years old, and he doesn't know a single big word, I don't expect him to get ahead, I just hope he can read and write, don't be like his father, he was deceived and said that others are good. This, this is all my private money, a little less, I can help you work. After stuffing a money bag into Yuequan, he rolled up his sleeves and helped Yuequan sort out his belongings with his hands and feet.
She is a straightforward woman, anyway, teaching one is also teaching, teaching two is also teaching, she doesn't mind charging an extra one, weighing the money bag, not heavy and light, a rural woman can save so much is already a lot, she is not hypocritical, let the woman take his son to the school tomorrow to class, the premise is remember to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
The woman was excited when she heard this, nodded and jumped back, which made Yuequan cry and laugh.
After the woman left, Yuequan walked up to Busy Xiao, dragged him aside and asked, "Do you want to study?" ”
Xiao lowered his head and was silent, did he still have the right to learn?
"If you want to be a farmer who is facing the loess hoe and planting rice all your life, you will continue to be silent, I will not ask about your past, but don't give me lifeless, I didn't have time to take care of the emotions before, now I ask you for the last time, if you want revenge, take the money to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone today."
After speaking, he stuffed the woman with the money bag in Xiao's hand, ignored Xiao's stunned, and went into the house to tidy up.
"How did she know?" This question will continue to haunt Xiao in the future.
Today he knew that Yuequan was more bitter than himself, at least he still had a family, and it was not difficult to take revenge, she was ruined, the enemy was the one at the top of the pyramid, and it was difficult to take revenge but it was difficult to ascend to the sky. But why, she can smile so cheerfully, heartless.
There are a lot of male guests at home, the widow is inconvenient to entertain, the previous life is forced to show up, now there are some assets, some should be avoided and need to be avoided, Yuequan didn't feel anything, but the mother-in-law is different, the feudal ideology is deep-rooted, the mother-in-law has always felt indebted to Yuequan, she is a real miss, although down, no one can guarantee that she can make a comeback.
Mother-in-law insisted on avoiding it, in fact, it was best for her to be lazy, sitting on the edge of the bed with a book, letting in the light through the window, Yuequan read them one by one, with vague memory and exam-oriented education to learn knowledge, she didn't think it was difficult, but the content of the book was a little difficult to accept, why? Can she stand it for modern people to accept the ideas of ancient people?
For example, when you meet a sage, you need to kneel down three times to show respect, bend down at 30 degrees and stand behind you to obey the reprimand, and when you meet an old man's shoes falling into the river, you need to respectfully retrieve them with both hands, and kneel down to help him wear them and let him beat and scold them.......
The more I think about it, the more goosebumps I have, it's not that my relatives can't do that kind of thing for outsiders, Yuequan thinks she can't do it, it's really a big test to let her transmit her thoughts, how can she teach them to do it well if she can't do it well, isn't it?
Eat a radish and cut it, take one step at a time, and if you can't do it, you shouldn't be this female doctor!
Pick and choose a lot of useful books and throw a bunch of useless books, it's not much to pick up quickly, there are five useful books, and these five are very esoteric and not suitable for six or seven-year-old children, think about checking memory, this world has a three-character scripture, then start with the three-character scripture!
Slowly recall the preparation for the lesson, until I got up to check the house after remembering all the typos, the master bedroom bed is dilapidated and empty shelves and there are no two bed boards, the only good thing is the table that was scratched by the knife, this table should be the previous owner's work desk, open the drawer, dust covered with things, casually pick up a piece of straw paper that has been gnawed by rats beyond recognition, the paper is full of things that I can't understand, I can't understand what to use it for, discard it aside, and then continue to Taobao, eh? This is not an engraving tool.
The embryo knife is the most basic knife for carving
Could it be that the previous owner of the house was a sculptor?
Yes and no
Put away the knife and continue to treasure other items are messy and useless, the room has no other items except the bed and table, and I walked out of the room to the backyard, the backyard is overgrown with weeds, lush trees and leaves, and it is very desolate.
There's nothing to see in the backyard, so when you have time, you can plant vegetables in addition to the weeds! There is a hut on the left side of the backyard, the door is broken, from the outside to the inside, it should be a kitchen, but it should be a nest for snakes and rats, it's really disgusting, although I'm not afraid anymore, but I still can't fall in love with those mollusks.
Back in the house, there are three small rooms in the house, one of which is placed with sundries, and the sundries are piled up and you can't see what it is, but they are all wood cut and should be able to burn the fire, and the middle one is the master bedroom that Yuequan enters, and the last room is empty and dusty, and there is no bed, so it's useless to look at it.
After the glance, the mother-in-law came to call, it turned out that Ermao's mother was everywhere to promote Yuequan willing to recruit disciples, and some villagers with a glimmer of hope visited Yuequan with a chicken in their left hand and a duck in their right hand hoping that she could accept their son, not seeking to be an official, only to be literate and to be a man, digging loess for a lifetime, they don't want the next generation to dig loess, and now there is such an opportunity, even if the master is a woman, they don't dislike it.
