Taking advantage of the fact that everyone followed to the study to observe the inscription of Qu Shiyun, Lu Hua grabbed Lin Xiao and whispered the second request.

"There is another important thing, some students have already opened math classes, and the students in the beginner class will also open them next semester, but I found that it is too inconvenient for them to use brushes to do exercises, can you talk to Zhou Gong and let him think of a way to get a pencil factory?"

"yes, why didn't I think of that?" Lin Xiao raised his forehead and said suddenly.

"You're so stupid, of course you can't think of it, huh!" Lu Huajiao said.

"Uh......"

Lin Xiao choked, and then flattered, "So, for the sake of future generations, I, a stupid person, must find a smart wife in Bingxue, right?" ”

"Flim tongue," Lu Hua took a sip and said coquettishly, "Is it okay?" ”

"Pencil ...... It's not difficult to make technology, isn't it graphite, there should be mining,"

Lin Xiao scratched his head and said in a deep voice, "It seems that I have heard anyone mention that the West has already invented the pencil in this era, right?" …… Don't worry, I remembered, I'll ask Lao Zhou when I go back. ”

As he was talking, a girl came in from outside the door, and when she saw Lin Xiao, she bowed: "Master Hou is here, slave and maid Shuang'er knock to see Master Hou." ”

Lin Xiao was stunned when he saw this, and only reacted when he heard her claim that she called Shuang'er, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's Shuang'er girl, hurry up, why are you here?" ”

"Shuang'er, get up quickly, Hou Ye is not an outsider, don't bow down in the future." On the side, Lu Hua stepped forward and picked up the twin girls.

"Yes, Sister Lu, dinner is ready." Shuang'er got up, looked up and smiled.

Lin Xiao looked at the Shuang'er girl who was talking to Lu Hua with a smile, and remembered that it was indeed the little girl who was rescued in Nanning.

But at that time, she was skinny, pale and dirty, Lin Xiao had no impression of her appearance, and later she came to defect alone, and Lin Xiao, who was sick, did not see her, so she was sent to the old man He's dart game.

Now that I take a closer look, this girl also has fine skin and tender flesh, and her appearance is quite thoughtful, whether it is her figure or face, she can be regarded as beautiful.

It seems that this girl has a good meal here, and in a few years, she will definitely become a Peugeot girl......

"After Shuang'er followed us here, he was very diligent with his hands and feet,"

Seeing Lin Xiao's stunned, Lu Hua said softly, "She is not only responsible for the purchase and miscellaneous affairs of the school, but also often comes to us, often helps me clean the house, and rushes to help in the kitchen with Mrs. He's subordinates, I can't persuade her." ”

"Oh, Shuang'er girl has worked hard, you work in this school, you are still comfortable, do you get paid?"

"Yes, Master Hou,"

Shuang'er responded with a smile, "The slave and maid entrusted the blessing of the Hou Ye, and lived in the old man's mansion for a few days after being rescued by the Hou Ye, and later the old man He asked the slave and the maid to come here to do things, and there was Sister Lu and the young lady to take care of it, and the slave and maid did not have to worry about food and clothing, and they also got their wages, so they were very happy." ”

"Oh, that's good, you do your job well, save the money you earn, and when the army recovers your hometown in the future, if you want to go back, go back, if you don't want to go back, let Sister Lu tell you a family affair in a few years, can you live a good life?"

"Master Hou, the slave has no relatives in her hometown, and she has no home to return to...... Hou Ye's life-saving grace has not been repaid, the slave maid is willing to serve Hou Ye and Sister Lu all the time, and begs Hou Ye not to dislike the slave maid. ”

The pair became excited as he spoke, tears rolling in his eyes.

"Eh, what did Shuang'er say?"

Lu Hua chuckled and soothed, "We, don't we want to call a servant, in the future, my sister will be the master, give you a good family affair, marry you off, won't you have a family...... Okay, okay, be happy, isn't dinner ready, you go and greet everyone and get ready to set the table, let's have a reunion dinner together. ”

Shuang'er smiled obediently when she heard this, wiped her eyes and left.

"Poor girl," Lu Hua looked at Shuang'er's back and whispered hesitantly, "However, there is one thing, I don't know whether I should tell you or not." ”

"What's the matter?"

"This girl, when she went out to buy something, she never made a mistake......"

Lu Hua said with some confusion, "Sometimes help me sort out the manuscripts on the table, look like that...... It always felt like she was literate, but when I asked her, she didn't admit it. ”

"Oh?" Lin Xiao frowned and thought for a while.

"And ...... The old man surnamed Tang came to find Shuang'er, but for some reason he also came to Qinzhou. ”

"Oh, is that the old man who was with her in Nanning?"

Lin Xiao groaned, "I remember meeting him in Nanning, saying that it was difficult to find a job, so I introduced him to Qinzhou to have a look. After all, we have all been through hardships. ”

"That's good, it's better to be fine...... I'm just a little worried, there haven't been any major events in Qinzhou recently, but small things like fires and burglaries are constant, which is quite strange. ”

"Really?"

Lin Xiao suddenly became alert when he heard this, "I will take care of Mo Yuanwei in this matter...... This Shuang'er, where she came from, if you have a chance in the future, you can talk to her about her hometown...... You know. ”

"Okay, got it."

"Well, in short, the heart of defense is indispensable, and you must pay attention to safety yourself." Lin Xiao stared at Lu Hua's eyes and whispered.

"I understand."

As he was talking, Qu Shiyun's words in the study were written, Lin Xiao and Lu Hua hurriedly went in to mingle with flattery, and Lu Hua beckoned everyone to eat in the dining room.

Everyone roared out, but Lin Xiao was still admiring the freshly baked big characters in amazement.

Those who have been soldiers know that the soldiers in the military camp in later generations have a tradition of practicing calligraphy, and when Lin Xiao was in the barracks, in addition to practicing a very beautiful fountain pen hand, he also practiced calligraphy for a few days.

Although he can't do it, he still has the ability to appreciate it, not to mention, after all, he was born as a Jinshi and has been in the officialdom for so many years, Qu Shiyun's calligraphy is indeed very good.

In Lin Xiao's eyes, in addition to these words being a little conformist, their skills, if they are placed in future generations, will not be inferior to any calligrapher.

……

A sumptuous reunion dinner, happy and omitted.

After the meal, Lin Xiao and his entourage were going back to the barracks.

Lin Xiao pulled Lu Hua, whose eyes were red, and whispered, "I have to go back tonight, there are still a lot of things to deal with, and I will come to see you tomorrow night." ”

"Hmm," Lu Hua bit his lip and lowered his eyes, "this time...... How many days can you stay? ”

"I have to go the day after tomorrow...... It is estimated that in a month, I will be able to come back, and next time I go on an expedition, I will take you to Shanghai with me, let's ......" Lin Xiao stared at her and said jokingly.

"Huh? So fast? Lu Hua's eyes flashed, and he said shyly, "That'...... What about my students? ”

"Little fool, did I say I'll leave as soon as I get back?"

Lin Xiao said softly, "I will accompany you here for a month or two before leaving, and when the seafarers come back, I will find you a few good teachers for you, and you can go to Shanghai to continue writing books, or set up another school." ”

"Well, okay."

Lu Huamei stared at Lin Xiao with beautiful eyes, as long as she could be with him, even if she was reluctant to give up this new home, she was willing to follow him around.

Thanks to the two book friends of "Can't Think of ......" and "Shijiu" for their rewards, and add a new chapter.
