Lu Wanwan knew that although Zhang Mo didn't ask her anything, she could guess that her current identity was embarrassing, listening to his reminders, she was also very grateful in her heart, nodded and said: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, I will be careful, I have returned to the capital this time, I have also thought about it a lot, and I am like this now, even if it is someone who is familiar with me, I am afraid it will be difficult to recognize."

Zhang Mo couldn't help but smile when he heard Lu Wanwan's words, raised his eyebrows and glanced at her a few times, and said: "What you said is right, when I saw you just now, I really didn't recognize it, I remember that you were also a beautiful girl back then, how did you become a man in just a few years." ”

Lu Wanwan smiled proudly and said, "I naturally have my own way, I am a weak woman walking in this world, so I naturally have some ways to hide people's eyes." ”

Zhang Mo nodded matter-of-fact and said approvingly: "This method is really good, ordinary people can't see that you are a woman pretending to be a man." ”

Lu Wanwan grinned, talked to Zhang Mo for a while, and saw that it was about to get dark, so she got up and said goodbye.

"What are you doing in such a hurry, why don't you eat before leaving." Zhang Mo got up and kept Lu Wanwan.

"No, I just returned to Beijing, and I still have a lot of things to take care of." Lu Wanwan declined.

Zhang Mo didn't stay any longer, but asked again: "If I have something to find you in the future, you won't have to stay in the inn all the time." ”

"No, I plan to go back to the workshop, if Brother Zhang wants to find me, come to the workshop, if my sister-in-law doesn't mind." Lu Wanwan blinked and said very slyly.

Zhang Mo obviously didn't expect Lu Wanwan to go back to the church, but he didn't say anything, just smiled helplessly.

Zhang Mo personally sent Lu Wanwan out of the study, and Lu Wanwan turned around and said to him: "Brother Zhang, stay here, let's have a chance to talk about it later." ”

Zhang Mo nodded, and watched Lu Wanwan leave. Lu Wanwan walked out of the yard and saw from a distance that there seemed to be a female relative coming here, she only glanced at it, then withdrew her gaze, and went in another direction in order to avoid suspicion.

Lu Wan left Zhang's mansion late, and suddenly felt that the female dependent he had just seen seemed to be a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Lu Wanwan frowned and pondered for a while, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, and she finally remembered where she had seen that female dependent, Lu Qianchen! This name is a little long ago for Lu Wanwan, she remembers that the last time she saw this sister seemed to be in the prison of the Criminal Department, when she was well protected by her mother, and was ransomed out of prison by her mother's family on the second day, she didn't know in her previous life, it turned out that she was married to Zhang Mo, and it seemed that she left the capital, but her eldest sister was not a bad person, she had thought about saving her in prison, with her current identity, it would be good to marry Zhang Mo, She suddenly felt that fate was really wonderful, and Zhang Mo became her brother-in-law, but before that, they didn't know each other.

In Zhang's mansion, Lu Qianchen naturally saw Lu Wanwan, but she couldn't recognize Lu Wanwan at a glance, so she just asked the maid next to her: "This son is the old friend of the master, right?" ”

Her personal maid immediately replied: "If you go back to Mrs., it should be her, the slave maid listened to the pen and ink yesterday, the lord heard the name of this son, and was stunned for a while, thinking that he knew him a long time ago, and the master also attached great importance to him, although it was very late yesterday, he still sent an inkstone to the inn where he lived to find someone, but it seems that the son is not there, so he came over today." ”

Lu Qianchen nodded clearly, looked at the place where Lu Wanwan left, and said in a daze: "I haven't heard the master say that there are such friends." ”

"The master was not from the capital before, maybe he was a friend before he joined the government." The maid said this, with a slight contempt on her face, thinking that she looked down on Zhang Mo's background.

"Don't talk nonsense about that again!" Lu Qianchen's face changed instantly, and he scolded the maid.

The maid was immediately frightened and silent.

Lu Qianchen arrived outside the door of the study, and the scholar who was guarding outside immediately saluted her, "The slave has seen Madame." ”

Lu Qianchen helped her up with a smile and asked, "Is the master still inside?" ”

Calligraphy and painting nodded and replied: "It's still there, do you want the slave to go in and tell you?" ”

"No need, I'll go in by myself." With that, he left the maids outside and walked into the study.

Zhang Mo was not much surprised when he saw Lu Qianchen coming in, got up and walked up to her and asked, "Why is Madam here?" ”

"I don't think it's early, so I'll remind you that you promised your mother to eat with her today." Lu Qianchen said with a light smile.

"Look at my brain, I'm almost gone." When Zhang Mo heard this, he immediately said suddenly, and then looked at Lu Qianchen gratefully and said, "Thanks to the lady for reminding me, let's go to my mother's place." ”

Lu Qianchen nodded, took Zhang Mo's hand and was about to walk outside the study.

"By the way, Qianchen, I remember you said that you only have two younger sisters, right?" Zhang Mo suddenly turned around, looked at Lu Qianchen and asked.

"Yes, my two younger sisters are twins, and they also went back to their grandfather's house like me, their grandfather's house is not in the capital, so I haven't seen them for many years, according to their age, they should be married now." Lu Qianchen didn't know why Zhang Mo suddenly asked this, and replied truthfully.

"Only...... These two? Zhang Mo asked again.

The expression on Lu Qianchen's face suddenly became a little unnatural, but he still smiled, and said in an affirmative tone: "It's just them, husband, is there any problem?" ”

Zhang Mo shook his head with a smile and didn't continue the topic, "It's okay, let's go to my mother's place quickly, she should be in a hurry for a while." ”

Lu Qianchen walked behind Zhang Mo, looking at his handsome back, a haze flashed in her eyes very quickly, she lied to her husband, she actually has a younger sister, but ...... Can't be an outsider, her mother has been suing her since she was a child, let her think that her sister is dead, after all, she entered the church as a prostitute, what is the difference between being dead, women in this world are more famous than the sky, if you let others know that she is another ** sister, I don't know how to slander her, even the husband, will definitely look down on her.

Lu Wanwan didn't know that her sister regarded her as a shame, at this time she had already returned to the inn, and after eating something casually, she entered the room, and tossed in the room for a few hours before going to bed.

On the second day, Lu Wan got up early in the evening, changed into a clean scholar's robe, put on a square scarf, and went out of the room.

Lu Wan arrived at the back door of the teaching workshop late, and without knocking on the door a few times, someone came to open the door, or yesterday's mother-in-law, seeing Lu Wanwan outside the door, she immediately grinned and said: "The future is early, I was born yesterday for your business, but I said it in front of my mother, and my mother agreed to take a look at you, and you are lucky, the teacher who used to teach calligraphy quit his job and returned to his hometown, and now there is a shortage of people in the workshop."

Lu Wanwan listened to the mother-in-law's words, with a smile on her face, bowed down and said, "Sister Lao, if this matter really comes to pass, I will definitely thank my sister." ”

The mother-in-law smiled proudly again, and then beckoned Lu Wan to enter the courtyard at night, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, come in, I'll take you to see Mother Wu." ”

When Lu Wanwan heard this, she immediately stepped into the courtyard, followed the woman inside, and saw the familiar scenery in the courtyard, and Lu Wanwan had a nostalgic look on her face.

The mother-in-law walked fast, and after a while, she took Lu Wan to the door of an ear room, turned around and said to her: "Mother Wu is inside, you should be careful when you reply in a while, if you say something wrong, I can't help you." ”

Lu Wanwan nodded her head in response, and then the mother-in-law knocked on the door and said inside: "Mother Wu, I'm Mrs. Zhang, I brought that person to you." ”

After a while, the door of the ear room opened, and Mother Wu, who was wearing a blue bikini, stood inside the door, glanced at Mrs. Zhang and Lu Wanwan behind her, and said with no expression on her face: "Mrs. Zhang, go and get busy yourself, that person will come in with me." ”

Mrs. Zhang nodded with a smile, turned around and glanced at Lu Wanwan, and then stepped on her little feet and left. Lu Wan saluted Wu's mother in the evening, and then followed her into the ear room.

Mother Wu sat down on a chair in the room, looked Lu Wanwan up and down carefully, and then asked: "What is the name of this son, seeing that the son is also a scholar, how could he think of our workshop to do teaching?" ”

Lu Wanwan smiled very gracefully, and replied: "In Xia Lu Ren, he has no talent in reading, and he has stopped the heart of the imperial examination after repeated attempts, and my parents died when I was young. ”

"Childe wants to make money, there are many places in this capital, why do you want to come to the teaching workshop alone?" Mother Wu asked with a skeptical attitude.

Lu Wanwan only smiled bitterly and said: "It is said that I am useless as a scholar, I have been studying since I was a child, I can't resist on my shoulders, I can't lift my hands, I can't do those bodies, I want to go to the restaurant to make an account, and because I'm not a local, those shopkeepers don't dare to use me......"

"Oh? Isn't Childe a local? Mother Wu asked again.

Lu Wanwan nodded, "My hometown suffered a military disaster, and I sold my family property to take refuge in the capital." ”

Mother Wu pondered for a moment before she slowly spoke: "Childe Xu doesn't know, we need some real materials to recruit teachers here, after all, the ladies in the teaching workshop will also rely on their talents to eat in the future, so ......"

"Mother Wu might as well look at my handwriting first, and then decide whether I am qualified to be a teacher." Lu Wanwan didn't wait for Mother Wu to finish speaking, and handed her the calligraphy and painting that she had spent two hours writing last night.

Mother Wu was halfway through the words, slightly dissatisfied, but she still took the words handed over by Lu Wanwan, unfolded it, and was slightly surprised on her face, not bad, it was too good, it was not a little better than the old gentleman who taught calligraphy and painting.

Mother Wu looked at it for a while, then put away the words in her hand, looked at Lu Wanwan's eyes and said with a smile: "Gongzi Dacai, it seems that what you just said is just self-humility." ”

Lu Wanwan shook her head and said: "I really don't have any talent in poetry and writing, but I still have a little wisdom in calligraphy and painting, which makes my mother laugh." ”

"Originally, I misunderstood Mr., but now it seems that you are probably overusing us as a teacher, because what you have to teach is only those newly enlightened children, and I am afraid that you will not be able to learn a thing or two of your skills." Mother Wu said euphemistically.

"Children learn calligraphy and painting for the first time, it is the time to lay the foundation, if the foundation is good, the back will be twice the result with half the effort, so it is more necessary to have a good teacher, such a simple truth, I think my mother must know." Lu Wanwan said in a calm tone.

Mother Wu smiled when she heard this, and looked at Lu Wan for a while before she spoke again: "It seems that Master Lu is determined to be a teacher here with us." ”

"Please make it happen, Mom." Lu Wanwan bowed and said sincerely.

Mother Wu saw Lu Wanwan's insistent appearance, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, Gongzi will stay in the teaching workshop for a month first, and if it is good, I will recommend you." ”

"Thank you Mom, I will definitely do my best not to disappoint Mom." Lu Wanwan said happily.

Mother Wu nodded, waved her hand to him, and said, "Okay, you go back today, and I'll arrange it with you tomorrow." ”

Lu Wan didn't move, and asked with a little shame on his face: "Mom, I don't know if the workshop doesn't provide accommodation, and now I still live in the inn, and it costs ...... every day Very much. ”

When Mother Wu heard what he said, she couldn't help laughing, and looked at Lu Wanwan helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll be a good person to the end, arrange a place for you first, you can move today and live in the workshop." ”

Lu Wanwan thanked himself repeatedly. The teaching workshop is divided into the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, the outer courtyard is where those miscellaneous women live, and some male acrobatic students and male teachers also live in the outer courtyard, because there are not many of these people, so there are many vacant rooms in the outer courtyard, and the inner courtyard is where the ladies and women with status live in the courtyard, and the people in the outer courtyard are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard when they are idle.

Mother Wu took Lu Wanwan to a relatively remote corner of the outer courtyard, because of the poor location, most of the rooms were vacant, she just pointed at random, "The rooms here are all empty, you can choose the one you like." After speaking, he didn't care about Lu Wanwan anymore, and left by himself. (To be continued.) )
