After the Mansion hired Zheng Wan as the West Seat, Qian Chenqun finally withdrew and was able to view the bamboo gate

Xu has been in the Cao family for a long time. Qian Chenqun was not as restrained as Shangke, and he did not insist on moving to the guild hall. The Cao family has a house in the city and a garden outside the city, Cao Yi's meaning, Qian Chen Qun chooses one to live in, saves renting a house and lives, everything is not cheap.

Qian Chenqun lived in Haidian Garden, and he liked the cleanliness over there, so he told Cao Mei to move there to live. Cao Wei also asked the steward to prepare two hundred taels of silver as a gift.

Before parting, Qian Chenqun met Zheng Fan.

Zheng Sue was just a poor talent in distress at this time, and his reputation was not obvious; Qian Chenqun is a talented and erudite man who became famous as a young man.

Later generations were known as the "Eight Monsters of Yangzhou", Zheng Bian was courteous and courteous, and there was no way out of line.

Seeing this, Cao Yi was secretly satisfied.

Although he was a little curious about this famous Kangqian celebrity in later generations, he didn't want his son to be taught to be a little monster, "To live in this society, or to abide by the laws of behavior in this society, you won't feel difficult."

Qian Chenqun did not bring his family, and the place where he had already blessed them to study was in the guest house where he lived. Now, 1 Zheng Shou came with his wife and children. In a yard again, it looks a little messy.

Cao Mei asked people to clean up the three wings opposite the side hall of the second courtyard and made it the location of the family school.

August 30. Cao Yi set up a seat, which can be regarded as a line of Qian Chen Qun.

The children all came to pour wine for the teacher. Niuniu, but her eyes are red, showing her reluctance.

Qian Chenqun's bearing became more and more calm.

With his talents, he should be selected in the upper course. But I don't know where there was an arsenic leak, and the name fell to Sun Mountain.

After the farewell banquet, Cao Yuan, the chief butler, personally led people and sent Qian Chenqun out of the city.

Zheng Suo's family moved into Cao's mansion on August 31.

Wu Sheng took two mothers-in-law and a few subordinates to pick them up. Their family originally rented a house in Dajiang Hutong outside the front door, renting two wings of the family.

The ancestors of the Cao family have been famous for several generations, and now in the Earl's Mansion, they are married to the royal family, and they are rich and noble. Even if Cao Ge, the head of the family, is not extravagant, he is not stingy when he stays, and he is according to the treatment of other families in the capital to set a monthly amount of silver for the people in the house.

Even the people in the house are richer than the ordinary people outside.

Like Zheng Bian's family, many people are still endured for the first time

Wu Sheng, who connected people, thought in his heart, the uncle hired such a shabby Xixi, don't let the young masters get sour.

The two mothers-in-law who came with them originally had the errand of going out to pick up people, and they were all happy and upside down, thinking that they could get some silver. Unexpectedly, I was dumbfounded when I entered the courtyard rented by the Zheng family.

In the narrow courtyard, there are two east wings, the yard is full of chicken dung, and there is a yellow dog tied to the corner of the courtyard.

When the old lady of the landlord's family heard the movement, she saw that it was for the Zheng family to move, so she stopped in front of Wu Sheng and asked him to settle the Zheng family's rent arrears for three months of 2,700 yuan, as well as the Zheng family's two stones of sorghum and 400 wen, a total of 3,100 wen.

There was no basis for her words, and the old lady took out two pieces of paper from her sleeve, which were clearly written in black and white.

Wu Sheng looked up and saw Zheng Bian's face flushed, and he didn't object, so he knew that the old lady was right.

He already regretted it in his heart. If he knew this, he should have asked the uncle to send this master some restraints first, so as to deal with the debts and save him from making such an embarrassment. This is still in front of the people in the house, and it has lost the face of this master.

He took out a penny of silver from his purse. Sent it to the old lady and said, "Old man, this is five taels of silver, except for the rent and rice money owed by Mr. Zheng, the rest of the silver is for the old man to eat tea, thank you for taking care of it." ”

Although it is rude for this old lady to block the road and ask for money. However, in the pool world of the capital, it is also kind to be able to let the tenant default on the rent for three months, and to give the other party rice.

The old lady took the silver, and she was not afraid to bring her teeth to her mouth, and she bit out a tooth mark before she put it in her arms with a smile. She stepped aside. His eyes were dry on the two housekeepers behind Wu Sheng, and he just felt that he couldn't see enough.

The two mothers-in-law were careful about the chicken manure underground, and at the same time looked at the two low and dilapidated side rooms in front of them, and they were already stunned.

Because I already knew that I was moving today, this side has been cleaned up.

There are four people in the family, but there are only a few blue cloth burdens, an umbrella, a few pairs of chopsticks, two tin basins, an iron pot, and half a load of firewood.

As a talented lady, Zheng Bian's wife Xu is dressed in cloth, and the only jewelry on her body is thin copper and gold earrings. Maybe it's been a long time, and the gold on the outside has faded, revealing the copper color on the inside.

The two daughters, the eldest was five years old and the youngest was three years old, both skinny and small, wearing half-worn clothes. Holding Xu's clothes, he looked at everyone timidly.

Xu's mother and daughter are dressed in shabby, but they are also cleanly washed, and they are not disgusting to see.

These two mothers-in-law are sensible again, and they know that no matter how shabby Zheng Xiucai is, after entering the mansion and becoming a gentleman of the little and gentlemen, their identities are not ordinary, and their faces have eased, and they call "Grandma Xu" in their mouths and stepped forward to help the Xu family carry the burden.

Those pots and bowls, they wanted to persuade Xu to throw them away, but when they saw that she put away the chopsticks, the paper on which her husband had written did not fall. He swallowed the words of persuasion again.

Xu only knew that her husband had found a museum, and she didn't know who it was, but now she only felt apprehensive when she saw the grandeur of this mother-in-law and carriage.

The old lady of the landlady didn't know whether to watch the excitement, or if she was really reluctant to Zheng Bian's family, so she sent it to the door and said to Xu with a smile: "Amitabha." Master Zheng is now developed, and Grandma Zheng's baby has another brother, which is double happiness. ”

Only then did these two mothers-in-law know that the Xu family is still double, but the month is not enough, and they are not pregnant.

Xu took his two daughters and blessed the landlady and the old lady, and said softly: "Thank you for taking care of your aunt in the past few years, your niece and daughter-in-law and granddaughters, thank you to the old man." ”

The old lady of the landlady followed up, wiped her eyes twice with her sleeve, and watched her get into the carriage."

Cao Fu was not there, and the children rested for a day.

I heard that this time the master brought his family, and the Li family and Chu Yu all prepared a gift and waited for someone to bring them in

Cao Yu had to go to the Lan Courtyard to talk to the Li family. talked about his relationship with Zheng Fan. Li lived with his son in Hangzhou for a period of time, and he saw Zheng Chang when he was young.

Hearing her son say that the master who came back this time was Zheng Shou, she said straight is fate, and instructed Chu Yu to arrange a few dishes in the kitchen 1 to pick up the wind for Zheng Fan's family.

Chu Yu was also quite happy to hear that the new master was her husband's fellow disciple. Love the house and Wu, married into the Cao family over the years, she is very partial to her husband's big characters, and she has copied them in her spare time.

Thinking about the children, even if they are not taught by their fathers, it is a good thing that they can learn good words from the new master.

After all, in a family like theirs, children study not for the imperial examination, but for the sake of being sensible and courteous. A beautiful hand, whether it is a future official or a imperial examination, it is all helpful.

Wu Sheng came out, and the carriage that picked up people in Yichuan returned home for more than an hour. There is a small guy reporting two

Cao Wei paced out. Go to the front yard to meet Zheng Suo.

The courtyard where Zheng Sue lived was where Qian Chen Qun lived before. The furnishings have been renewed.

I think there is a family here. To open a gang, a full set of pots and pans were placed in the ear room.

The Zheng family moved in. You don't need to add anything, you can live directly. Here, a little girl, a rough mother-in-law, and a little maid were all waiting in the yard.

The two mothers-in-law. sent Xu's mother to the courtyard and went back to the inner house to hand over the errand.

There was really nothing to clean up, but in two quarters of an hour, Xu placed all the things he had moved. Zheng Zan invited Cao Yi to the hall to serve tea.

Cao Rongwa and they almost cleaned up, and asked someone to go to the inner house to pick them up and meet the master and the master.

Also with him was Chu Yu. wanted to see if it was the sons' west seat, and it was a courtesy, so he brought the children over and invited the Xu mother and daughter into the inner house by the way.

After meeting and saluting, Chu Yu invited Xu's mother and daughter into the inner house.

Xu had already heard her husband mention it. There was a widowed old lady in this house, and the elders should go to see her, so she took her daughter according to her words and went with Chu Yu.

Zheng Sue saw that there were seven or eight students here, the older ones were in their teens and the younger ones were five or six years old, and they were worried that the young master and young lady of the rich and noble family were naughty and mischievous, and it was not easy to teach.

Unexpectedly, the answer started. Each of them is a well-informed person. He glanced at Cao Liang, who was sitting next to him, and wondered if it was in front of their parents that these children were so honest. If this is the case, then the Cao family's tutor is really admirable.

However, thinking that when he saw Cao Mei when he was a child, a child who was one year younger than himself was like a little adult, Zheng Bian felt that it was a family heirloom.

Zheng Sue looked at these children and felt quite emotional.

Previously, after Cao Po agreed to hire him to sit in the museum, Cheng Mengxian told Zheng Fan about the situation of the juniors in Caofu.

There are eight primary and secondary school students in this school. Only three people are the flesh and blood of the Cao family, and the remaining five people have Cao Fang's adopted son, the righteous son, the son of the family, and the daughter of Xixi.

Changed to the son of someone else's family with a different surname, most of them are used as companions.

These children look small in front of me. Judging from the way you dress, you can't tell the difference between your status.

The oldest female disciple, named "Mei Ping", should be Cao Yi's little sister, and she can be regarded as Zheng Zheng's little sister.

For this reason, when Niuniu saluted Zheng, Zheng Sue turned slightly sideways and did not receive the full salute.

Cao Liang watched from the sidelines. knows in his heart, this "nephew" is like a mirror in his heart, and he has not forgotten his "little uncle"

After Zheng Suo asked the disciples about their homework progress and met each other, Cao Mei asked Niuniu to take the children down.

Zheng Suo got up to thank Cao E because Wu Sheng had paid the rent before.

Cao Wei had already heard what Wu Sheng said, waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite, it's still my negligence." Fang Cai had already greeted the butler, and asked him to send this year's bundle over first. ”

Zheng Sue thanked Xiao Cai again and sat down to talk to Cao Wei.

I saw him at a glance. Cao Po couldn't help laughing: "It's both the same door and an old acquaintance, Kerou will be at ease in the future, and you don't have to be so restrained." Although Meiping is the daughter of a family teacher, she worships under your door, and she is your female disciple, each with her own opinion. ”

When Zheng Su heard that Cao Po, who was a young talent, still remembered himself, he hurriedly stood up, but this time it was the son and nephew who met each other.

Speaking of which, he is one year older than Cao Mei.

Cao Mei patted his head and said, "The net said that there is no need to be polite, we are about the same age, and it is better to have a good relationship with each other." ”

Zheng Sue is also a free and easy person. Seeing that Cao Mei didn't hold a shelf and treated people gently, he was no longer alienated, and he was much more comfortable talking."

Xizhi Gate, Li House.

The chief housekeeper Qian Zhongrui led the imperial doctor into the inner courtyard, and when he heard a cough from the house, he felt heavy in his heart. The third young master has been sick for more than ten days, and he is still not well, listening to what the second young master said, he coughed up blood last night.

Less than half a month's work. The third young master was so thin that he took off his human form. Earlier, he was raised with ginseng, but later the doctor said that his heart was on fire. Do not use ginseng, and only drink half a bowl of porridge per meal.

The Imperial Physician went in and sat on the edge of the pit. After carefully checking the pulse, he asked a few more questions about the patient's recent diet

After reading it, he went out to the outer room. said to Li Yu: "The patient invaded by external evils and injured his lungs, and now his heart is on fire, which is quite dangerous. But I don't know why the patient has these many things at a young age, and heart disease still needs heart medicine. It's good to explain it well, otherwise it will drag on for a long time, and even if the disease is cured, I'm afraid that you will have to sit down at the root of the disease. ”

Li Yu glanced at the big housekeeper, and knew in his heart that what else could be wrong with his heart was the failure of the township test.

Wait for the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription. The chief butler took the silver seal and sent it out in person.

This imperial doctor was invited by the Cao family to Cao Yi's post, and he can be counted in the Tai Hospital. The Li family's small amount of money is also generous, and the back and forth are guided car pick-ups.

Li Yu walked into the back room. Sitting on a small stool by the kang, looking at my younger brother on the sickbed.

Li Cheng's complexion is dull. Because of the severe cough, the water in his eyes flashed, and he did not look like an ordinary little adult, like an ordinary child, showing a little loneliness.

Li Yu sighed and whispered, "You should have heard what the Imperial Doctor said in the outhouse. You're smarter than others when you're young. Why is it confused at this time? You're only thirteen. For the first time, how many old talents in their thirty-three, forty-three, and fifty-three years outside have been tested for half their lives, but they can't get a single person in the exam. Get well as soon as possible. Looking for a good gentleman, I will take the exam again in three years, and I will only be sixteen years old, and I am still a teenager. is the fourth cousin of the Cao family that you often talk about, and he didn't hit the first time; The fifth cousin of the Cao family is also sixteen years old. But you are anxious, and you are angry about this. ”

"Second brother" Li Cheng's eyes were already red, and he said in a dumb voice: "My father didn't approve of me coming, I was self-righteous." insisted on doing so, but it was a loss of face for the Li family. ”

"What is this called? Who says you have to hit the game? You think too much, and no one will blame you. If you are not sensible, if you continue to be so confused and let the elders worry, it will be a great unfilial piety. Li Yuyin persuaded him.

Li Cheng squeezed out a little smile on his little face when he heard this, stretched out his arm, pulled Li Yu's arm, and said:

"It's still the second brother who loves me, taking care of me these days, and being the eldest brother, I've long been too lazy to take care of me,,

The two brothers were talking. The maid brought a tray to deliver the medicine.

Li Yu got up and helped his younger brother sit up, watched him drink the medicine, and then took care of him to lie down.

Because Li Cheng loves cleanliness. I'm afraid that the kitchen will stay up late and get infected with fireworks, so this medicine is boiled under the porch. When Li Yu came out, there was a little maid pouring medicine residue.

Li Yu narrowed his eyes. I snorted coldly in my heart: "Sister-in-law, who said that a concubine can't be in charge"
