When Ye Mingcheng and Zhang Wenting were watching in the Fu Ji Canteen, in a small courtyard in the northwest corner of Sun's Mansion, a plump woman twisted her waist and hips and stepped into the courtyard. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This partial courtyard is for some of the rough envoys who have become a family to live, a total of more than a dozen households, the men include the coachman, the sedan chair, the storehouse, etc., the women are mainly pulp mending, needlework, or the inner house guard, night patrol and the like, this hour is the hour before and after breakfast, most of the ten or so families in the courtyard are using rice, the rest of the households are either using good food, or have not yet eaten, the women are still busy in the house, the men sit leisurely on the porch, chatting casually, or teasing a few children frolicking in the corridor.

"Lao Wu, I said that your child is six years old this year, and it is time to send it to enlightenment, in the past, people like us couldn't afford to study, but now it's Shuren Hall, and it's Yuren Hall, all of which are completely free of charge, and which one has been ......accepted in the past Last time, when I heard the news, the people were full, and this time the education hall was about to be launched, so don't miss it again......"

Among the men, a man with a white and pointed face looked at a boy running in front of him, then pointed and smiled at a man with broad shoulders and thick arms next to him.

"Brother Ye, I know that there is always a benefit to studying and enlightenment, although I don't expect the grace of the master of the family, I cancel my slave status and go to the future of fame...... But if you know how to read and write, you can count, and you don't have to be like me, do the rough work of carrying a sedan chair, tired and sweaty, and the winter is better, but in the summer, under the sun, you will suffer...... In a few days, the education hall will be opened, and I will have to register for the child in life and death, and I will study for a year or two, and in the future, in this house, if I am smarter, I will always be more ......productive than me."

When the man with broad shoulders and thick arms heard this, his eyes followed his son, looked at it for a moment, and then turned around and said to the man with a white and pointed face.

"Lao Wu, that's a good point, that's the truth." The white-faced man clapped his hands, "You also know that the dead butler Wang was very good with me, and he wanted to carry me several times, all because I was blind and couldn't speak to the head of the house, so until now, I am still a storekeeper, and I am more idle than you, brother, but it is those dead money." ”

When he said this, several men, including Lao Wu, were a little unimpressed.

They are all old servants in this house, they bought this house from Sun Shaozu, and they came from the old house in Baoding, and they have been staying here for seven or eight years, everything is very clear, the dead Wang Da housekeeper and this man surnamed Ye are slightly closer, but they are not too enthusiastic, and they carry Yunyun, but they just talk casually, otherwise even if they are blind, they will give a steward and learn while doing, and they will always be competent.

However, the man surnamed Ye likes to put gold on his face, and they are not easy to say anything, and there is still some truth in this statement, if the man surnamed Ye knows how to read and count, and then with this relationship, he will really carry it up.

Although they are all rough subordinates, some things can still be understood, in short, they know how to read and count, and they may not necessarily be able to get ahead, but compared with others, there is undoubtedly one more chance.

The man surnamed Ye saw that no one said this, but he didn't care, with a smile on his face, his eyes turned to look at a thin man in a blue shirt, "...... Brother Hu, my brother-in-law is now pregnant, in a few months, you will be a father like a few of us, if you are a girl, you don't need to say much, give birth to a boy, you have to plan for him......"

Of course, this is a joke, people like them are just ordinary people, even if they plan for their children, they will go early.

The man surnamed Hu rubbed his hands and laughed, but did not speak.

A few other men were happy at this time, the lady surnamed Hu was quite a three-point posture, although it was not conspicuous in the whole house, but in their side courtyard, it was Xi Shi, they loved to look at this lady a few more times on weekdays, the man surnamed Ye said that he was showing his feelings, so that they who had nothing to do at this time all kinds of associations had a variety of pictures.

They grinned, patted the man surnamed Hu on the shoulder, and joked and laughed as people who came over.

"Hey...... Brother Ye didn't say it, but I forgot to remind you, wake up when you sleep at night, don't fall asleep, turn over and go up again, I can't hold it back, go to the kiln outside......"

"yes, yes, that's important...... Brother Hu, you have to remember it. ”

"Huh...... When you have a baby and have milk, don't grab milk from your child, you have eaten it, what will your child eat......"

In this kind of family-building yard, such words are not uncommon, and everyone also regards them as a pleasure in their leisure time, and they are relaxed for a while.

As he was talking, someone with sharp eyes saw that the plump woman was coming in from outside the courtyard gate, and he stopped his mouth, stood up, and motioned to the others.

Three or four of them, seeing him signal, were aware of the plump woman coming in, and got up hurriedly, while the other two or three were unaware of it, and were still talking vigorously, when the woman approached and laughed, "What do you people say in the morning, so interesting?" ”

Hearing her voice, the three or two people who were able to speak energetically were shocked, and they were busy talking, and they all stood up.

Across a verandah, everyone couldn't wait to salute the woman together, the other party was a big housekeeper in the inner house, quite a position and power, and they saw it at this time, and they had to curry favor.

The woman did not return the salute, but paused in her steps, smiled and nodded, and then twisted her hips up the steps.

“…… Aunt Lu, a few of us are talking about the outside of Yixue, there was a Shuren Hall before, and now I heard that the Education Hall is going to be run again, and we all think that in the future, we can let the children go to enlightenment, know some words, count the numbers, and don't be blind...... I said it lively, I don't want you to come, I don't want you to come, the etiquette is not good, you have to bear ......"

As soon as the woman went up the corridor, the man surnamed Ye greeted her, and said with a smile first, which was regarded as a response to the woman's question just now.

Those jokes about the Hu family's lady are naturally inconvenient to say in front of Aunt Lu, and this matter of righteousness is just used to prevaricate.

"Less, you are smiling like this about Yixue?" Aunt Lu glanced at the man surnamed Ye, and looked around at everyone with a smile, not believing it at all, "According to the old lady, Bacheng is talking about which pretty lady in the house, right?" ”

"No, no, how dare we talk about which lady casually?" The man surnamed Ye flatly denied it, and then pointed at Lao Wu, "...... Shicai is talking about Lao Wu, his son, last time he missed the registration of Shuren Hall, this time he thought that he had to report to the Yuren Hall no matter what...... Lao Wu, don't you say? ”

When Aunt Lu heard this, she still didn't believe it, but she didn't bother to pay attention to it, so she said casually, "Yurentang, at that time, you have to report it quickly, it is said that it is a school hosted by the mayor of the town...... It's a rare opportunity......"

When she said this, don't look at each other, and don't know how to answer, but the man surnamed Ye is more clever and said busily, "Aunt Lu is really the person next to the head of the family, unlike us alone, even this kind of news can be known in advance." ”

His compliments, Aunt Lu listened to it, and it was quite useful, but her face was not very revealing, and she had something to do, so she said this sentence casually, so she didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore, and immediately said to the man surnamed Hu, "What about your lady?" ”
