Chapter 359: Su Jueming's Idea (2)
Dean Gu weighed it repeatedly, and finally decided to go to Mingdao Academy to find Ren Yaen. Su Jueming was ecstatic and happily caught up, but he didn't expect to be driven back by Dean Gu as soon as he left the gate of the Baojia Bureau.
What he didn't expect was that Dean Gu rushed to Mingdao Academy, not only told Ren Yaen all the things he said at noon, but also scolded after he finished speaking: "I thought that he would follow Master Han and be able to change the prodigal son's money, but I didn't expect that he would have a lot of debts as before, and he was as bad as before. ”
Ren Yaen was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and when he heard Dean Gu's words, he clenched his fists and said: "He is a dog fighting people, and he bullies people too much!" ”
"Who says it's not, don't talk about you, I want to teach him a good lesson."
"Dean Gu, I'm not done with him, I'm ...... I can't do anything about him, I can go to him and ask him to give me an explanation! ”
"You don't need to look for him, it's not easy to clean him up."
"How do you clean it up?"
"Just tell Master Han, tell the truth, Master Han will definitely make decisions for you."
Dean Gu was confident, but Ren Yaen couldn't cry or laugh, and said with a bitter face: "Go and ask Master Han to call the shots, Dean Gu, do you still think I'm not ashamed enough?" Besides, when this kind of thing happens, Master Han can't avoid suspicion, so how can he help me uphold justice? ”
Dean Gu nodded slightly, thought about it and changed his words: "Yaen, when it comes to Master Han, I found that although Su Jueming's kid was not right, what he said also made some sense. Think about it, how long has Master Han been an official in Jiangsu, this army is chaotic, and his family is thousands of miles away, so he can't take it at all. And this battle didn't know that it would be fought until the Year of the Monkey, and he couldn't go back for a while, and he really couldn't be without someone by his side. ”
"Since you can't have no one around, then ...... Then help him find one. ”
"We want to help Master Han find it, but where can we find the right one."
Ren Yaen reacted suddenly, glared at him and asked, "Dean Gu, won't you always be like Su Jueming who is eyeing my family Yu'er?" ”
"Does my brother think that Lao Yu is that kind of person?" Dean Gu asked rhetorically, and then changed his words: "But if you think about it carefully, this is not an opportunity for Yu'er." If I'm not mistaken, Yu'er should also talk about marriage, but where to find the right offspring in this mess. ”
"But Master Han has already married a wife, not only married a wife, but also gave birth to a son! Dean Gu, although I Ren Yaen is not promising, and although my Ren family is a small family, I can't let Yu'er be a concubine, and I can't push Yu'er into the fire pit! ”
"The more you talk about it, the farther you go, you should know that Master Han is so considerate to his subordinates, how can he treat the people around him badly." Dean Gu patted him on the arm and said earnestly: "Master Han's wife is far away in his hometown in Sichuan, and he won't be able to come back for a while, and Master Han can't go back, at least in Hai'an and even in Yangzhou Mansion, what is the difference between this concubine and his wife, in the final analysis, it is a face, it is a name." ”
"I want face, Yu'er wants fame, isn't this enough?" Ren Yaen stared at Dean Gu and asked.
"It's easy to say with a good face, just like Su Jueming's kid said, don't think so much for the time being. Let Yu'er go to Master Han to help and do things, worrying that there will be gossip outside, Yu'er is Master Han's sister-in-law. When this battle is over, the world is peaceful, and Master Han will be promoted to become an official in another place, or Zhishi will return to his hometown, who will know about this? ”
"But ......"
"Listen to me," Dean Gu took a deep breath and continued: "Master Han values love and righteousness, and he will definitely not treat Yu'er badly, and he will not treat you badly." And brother, you are an official, as long as Master Han is willing to help, let alone do Confucian teaching, it is possible to teach in the county. ”
Ren Yaen said with a sad face: "Isn't this a betrayal of a woman to seek an official?" ”
"Brother Ren, now it's not as good as before, I don't believe you go to Taizhou to see how many people sell their sons and daughters! Besides, this is not for sale, Master Han not only has a bright future, but also has nothing to say, I don't have a daughter, if I have a daughter, this good thing can still be your turn? Dean Gu patted him on the shoulder and changed his words again: "That's what I said, whether it's okay or not, you have your own idea, if it's really not good, I didn't say it." ”
"Dean Gu, does Master Han know about this?"
"Su Jueming made his own opinion, where would Master Han know."
"It's good if you don't know, it's good if you don't know." Ren Yaen rubbed his face, and said helplessly: "Dean Gu, this is not a trivial matter, you let me think about it carefully." ”
"Don't rush, think slowly, and talk about everything when it's ready."
……
Seeing Dean Gu away, Ren Yaen's mood couldn't calm down for a long time.
It is said that "everything is inferior, only reading is high", where is the high level of reading, and it is not to be able to test for fame and become an official. He has studied hard for so many years, but it is not for the sake of being a teacher, and now that he has the opportunity to be an official, he naturally does not want to miss it. But just let his daughter go to be a concubine for others, and he was unwilling, so he sat down until Yu Sangu knocked on the door and called someone from his hometown.
Yangzhou has long been occupied by bandits, how can there be any hometown.
It was Ren Yafu, the younger brother who fled to Yiling with his family, and Yu'er's uncle, who came to Hai'an for the second time, and they didn't need to ask for help.
My younger brother and eldest brother can't ignore the difficulties they encounter. Fortunately, although Yu Sangu is a woman in the countryside, she is more sensible than many women in the city, not only going to the street to cut meat and drink for entertainment, but also letting her take as much silver as she wants.
After accompanying his younger brother and eldest brother to eat, he helped his younger brother and eldest brother settle down in the classroom, went to the alley and told Liu Da that he would send his younger brother and eldest brother away by boat early tomorrow morning, and returned to the academy to listen to the third aunt say that the whole family had less than two taels of silver left, and then thinking of the words that Dean Gu said in the afternoon, Ren Yaen gritted his teeth and asked Yu Sangu to knock on the west wing and call Yu'er out.
"What's the matter at such a late hour?" Ren Yuer asked subconsciously.
Yu Sangu hurriedly said: "Don't look at me, I don't know." ”
"Sit, sit down, let's sit down." Ren Yaen took a deep breath, put down the teacup and said, "Third aunt, Dean Gu came to me in the afternoon." ”
"What are you looking for?"
He said...... He said that you entered my Ren family, to help me give birth to a child, to help me inherit the family lineage, saying that you are always busy from morning to night like now, if you are pregnant, you will have a tire. ”
Don't look at Yu Sangu's usual grin, but she was still a little embarrassed to say this in front of Yu'er, and said with a red face: "Isn't this not pregnant?" ”
"If you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what if." Ren Yaen peeked at her daughter, and pretended to be relaxed: "Dean Gu asked you not to go to work at Master Han's place in the future, he has already agreed with Li Cripple, and plans to let the second girl of Li Cripple's family replace you." ”
"How can this work, two taels a month!"
"Don't worry, I know that you are reluctant to do this errand, and I know that you are thinking about this family, but Dean Gu's words are not unreasonable, and Dean Gu also knows that we are not rich, and his old man has already helped us think about it."
"What did Dean Gu say?" Yu Sangu asked eagerly.
Dean Gu said that Master Han originally had a friend, Mr. Zhou, who was born as a person, but now Mr. Zhou has gone to Jiangnan. Ambassador Han's cousin Han Bo and cousin Tang Guozheng also went out on errands, and the original family member Pan Changsheng worked for Master Guo again, and there was not even a literate person around him. ”
"Master Han plans to ask you to be a master?"
"That's not true, even if Master Han wants to invite me to be a curtain friend, I can't leave, what if I leave the academy." Ren Yaen looked back at her daughter and said quietly: "Yu'er, Dean Gu knows that you are literate and can write and count, let me ask you if you would like to go to Master Han to do things." ”
"Let me go to Master Han's place to do things, Dad, you're not kidding!" Ren Yu was taken aback and couldn't believe it was true.
"I'm not kidding you, it's not like you don't know this place in Hai'an, the girls who haven't come out of the cabinet don't do any work, and some of them are more spicy than those little daughters-in-law."
"Master, this is not appropriate, Yu'er is different from those wild girls crazy girls, besides, Yu'er usually doesn't even go out of the door, what can she do!"
"Third aunt, just because I don't go out much doesn't mean I can't do things!" Ren Yu was anxious, pointed to the pile of books on the case and asked, "Do you recognize the words on these books?" ”
"I don't know where I know, and I can't read."
"That's it, if you don't recognize me, I recognize it, not only can I recognize it, but I can also write!"
Ren Yaen asked worriedly: "Yu'er, so you are willing to go to Master Han to do things?" ”
"The third aunt can go, the second girl of Li's lame family can go, why can't I go? If I stay at home all the time, I'll be really lazy. Ren Yu didn't want to be talked about behind the back of the women in the town, and then thought that this was not only going out to do things to make money to subsidize the family, but also to show his talents, he couldn't help but snicker and asked: "Dad, did Dean Gu say how to calculate this salary?" ”
"There should always be two taels a month."
"Why are you only two taels, are you embarrassed to ask?"
Yu Sangu also felt that it was less, so she supported her waist and said: "Two taels will definitely not work, Yu'er will do the master's business, and Master Han will have to give the master's salary, how can he get five taels a month!" ”
"Yes, how can I get five taels a month!" Thinking of being able to make money, and making a lot of money, Ren Yu was excited.
Thinking that the errand of two taels of silver per month was lost, but the stepdaughter might really get an errand of five taels per month, Yu Sangu was as excited, and couldn't help laughing: "Master, I know that you are a person who wants to save face, and you must be embarrassed to open this mouth with Dean Gu." I'm different from you, and I'm not afraid of people's jokes, I'll ask Dean Gu, and I'll help Yu'er. ”
"Who said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and who said that it is useless for a woman to study, isn't this useful?" The more Ren Yu thought about it, the more excited he became, and he actually took Yu Sangu's arm and said, "Third aunt, if you can really help me talk about my salary to five taels a month, I will give you two taels a month in the future." ”
"And what about three taels?" Yu Sangu turned around and asked.
"I have it, I have to save my dowry."
"Your marriage master is in charge of you, your dowry master and I will help you buy it, what do you want to save money for, and save so much, no matter how much money I used to make, I used to hand it over to my family! No, you have to give me the three taels. ”
"Third aunt, are you going to get into the eyes of money, why should I give you the money I earned myself?"
……
They were arguing again, but this time it was more of a joke.
Ren Yaen thought that her daughter would not go if she was killed, but she never thought that it would be this result, so she could only laugh hard, but her heart was full of guilt.
