Chapter Twenty-Four: Two Gentlemen

As soon as he pushed open the door of the fence courtyard, Wang Bin walked into the fence courtyard and did not take a few steps, his father Wang Changgui trotted out of the thatched house, stood in front of Wang Bin, and said with a smile: "Xiaobin, you kid can give me a long face now, don't you know, an hour ago, I just came back from Liu's house, and I met Liu Wenfeng and Liu Wencai at the mouth of our alley."

"The two of them took a group of boys, and they spoke politely and respectfully to your father, and when I saw your father, I was like meeting their father. These two boys said that he was ordered by Mr. Hu, who taught a private school in our village, and asked you to go back and continue to study in a private school. How is it, Xiaobin, did you meet these boys on the way here? ”

Seeing Wang Changgui's happy look, Wang Bin, who was in a dilemma, didn't want to spoil his father's happiness at this time. After all, it was not easy for his father to pull him, even if he was just a modern man from more than a thousand years later, with the help of the skin of this young man named "Wang Bin", but when he saw Wang Changgui, he felt that his affection was still strong.

Wang Bin, who stopped, took out the bulging money bag that Liu Wenfeng had given him from the cuff on the left side, handed it to Wang Changgui, and said calmly: "Dad, I helped Liu Wenfeng do a big thing, and this money was given to me as a reward, Dad, you keep it for me." ”

After saying this, Wang Bin stretched out his right hand behind his back to his side, held the two books "Analects" and "Mencius" in his right hand, shook it in front of Wang Changgui's eyes, and continued casually: "Dad, these two books were sent to me by Mr. Hu and Liu Wencai, and your old man can't understand what is written in this book, so I will take it first." ”

Stretched out a rough hand and snatched the money bag stuffed with copper coins from Wang Bin's hand, and shook it a few times in his hand, feeling heavy, and immediately closed his mouth happily.

Wang Changgui, who tied the money bag to his waist, immediately waved his hand and said very arrogantly: "Xiaobin, your kid is getting more and more promising, you have to help Liu Wenfeng, this kid did something, he gave such a big bag of money." Father can't control the affairs of your young people, as long as you don't do the things of the traitor department.

"Dad accepted this money for you, and when you save enough money, I will marry you in the future. As for these two books, what you kid said is very right, your father and I don't know a few people, so you can be your own custodian. Read it a few times when you're fine. I've heard Mr. Teach say that reading a book a hundred times will tell you what it means. ”

When it came to the topic of reading, Wang Bin fell into a dilemma. At the mouth of the alley, Liu Wenfeng and Liu Wencai, the two sworn enemies who were like fire and water before, actually united together, and they were moved by affection and reason, and there was a big kind of posture that Wang Bin would not give up if he did not agree to return to the village to study in the private school.

However, when it came to going to a private school to study, Wang Bin felt that he had promised Miss Yu'er that he would accompany her second brother Liu Gong for two months at Liu's house no matter what. Otherwise, his father, Wang Changgui, would not be able to serve as a deacon in their Liu family.

Because of such a precondition set by Liu Yuer, Wang Bin naturally did not dare to easily agree to the request of Liu Wencai and Liu Wenfeng, and finally used the excuse of giving him three days to think about it, so he fled and rushed back to his dilapidated home.

After looking up at the stars in the sky, Wang Bin lowered his head again, and asked Wang Changgui, who was standing in front of him with a happy expression on his face, in a tentative tone: "Dad, do you say that I should continue to stay in the Liu family to accompany the second young master of the Liu family, or go back to the village to study in the private school, how should these two choose?" ”

Wang Changgui, who was still smiling happily, immediately froze the smile on his cheeks after hearing Wang Bin's question, and after standing in place and thinking for a moment, he sighed lightly and said, "Xiaobin, you kid don't know." In the past few days, the Liu family has been gossiping about you and Miss Yu'er of the Liu family, saying that your kid fell in love with Miss Yu'er, so he invented and created a farm tool called a seeding machine, which solved the problem of spring planting for the Liu family.

"What's even more annoying is that a few workers who had a good relationship with me before are now talking behind their backs, saying that you Laozi and I have become a deacon in the Liu family because I have been stained with the light of your kid. I have proposed to Miss Yu'er no less than three times not to be a deacon and continue to do long-term work, but Miss Yu'er will not agree to live or die, and I am really embarrassed to make your father. ”

After saying this, Wang Changgui, who was middle-aged but looked a little old, frowned, sighed, and said with some mixed feelings: "Xiaobin, my son, don't think that your little caution can hide from you and me." Although I haven't seen a book for a few days since I was a child, I understand a truth. This man and woman not only pay attention to the life of their parents and the words of the matchmaker, but also pay attention to the right person.

"What is the situation of our family, I think we both know it, Liu Yuer is a daughter, this Liu family is a big family, this is more than ten miles away from rich families, I don't know how many matchmakers come to visit the Liu family throughout the year, but they are all rejected one by one by the quite assertive Miss Yu'er.

"Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that our Liujia Village, two years ago, Liu Wencai, the kid and his father, took a generous gift and a matchmaker to the Liu family to propose marriage, but after staying in the Liu family for less than a cup of tea, he was driven out by Liu Yuer.

"Although, Xiaobin, after you first recovered from a serious illness, you have become smarter than before, I don't know how many times, and you have done a lot for the Liu family. But this Liu Yuer's vision is very high, and it is not something that a small family like us can afford.

"In my opinion, in two or three years, when my father has saved enough money, I will find a yellow flower girl who is slightly better off than our family, talk about family affairs, and live a good life. When you have a career in the future, you will be admitted to the Jinshi after passing the exam, and it will not be a problem to marry a few more partial houses.

"Accompanying the second young master of the Liu family is not a long-term solution. Xiaobin, my father said so much, the purpose is one, in order to break your kid's non-centrific thoughts about Miss Yu'er as soon as possible, it is better to agree to Liu Wencai and Liu Wenfeng's request, follow the two of them back to the village private school to study, and follow Mr. Hu to study, as long as you stay away from Miss Yu'er, you have nothing to do and run to Liu's house, your father and I can rest assured. ”

After listening to Wang Changgui's heartfelt words with a long sigh, Wang Bin felt that his father had completely misunderstood the pure friendship between him and Liu Yuer.

Just as he was about to explain, he swallowed it back as soon as it came to his lips. Because he knows that in this feudal society more than a thousand years ago, if someone says that there is a pure relationship between men and women, it will definitely not be believed, and it will be regarded as nonsense.

Thinking of this, Wang Bin, who was speechless, had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, raised his eyes and looked at the coarse vegetables and light rice on the dining table outside the thatched hut with a lamp six or seven steps in front of him, and said to him: "Dad, don't worry about my business." I'm hungry, Dad, let's go back to the house and eat. If you don't eat it again, I'm afraid the food on the table will become cold. ”

After dinner, Wang Bin rinsed his mouth and fell asleep on one end of the earthen kang in the room. Lying on the other end of the kang is Wang Changgui.

Early in the morning of the second day, Wang Bin was in a hazy mood when he was woken up by his father Wang Changgui, who got up early to cook.

In a daze, Wang Bin's ears came up with Wang Changgui's loud voice: "Xiaobin, get up quickly, you see who is coming." Mr. Hu from the private school in our village, and Mr. Zhao, who teaches the second young master of the Liu family, both of them have come to our house to see you coming. ”
