041 Persuasion
Cheng Yi heard the sound and came to the door, and Cheng Dong, who was sitting in the house sulking, also heard the voice, got up and followed his sister out to see who was visiting.
I saw a tall young scholar standing outside the gate, and a middle-aged Taoist priest who was pretending. Seeing the Cheng family sisters and brothers come out, the scholar bowed and saluted: "Student Ma Yu, entrusted by Master Su Hao, came to visit the Cheng family's lady and Cheng Dong brothers. ”
"What's the matter with you?" Cheng Yi asked expressionlessly, and at the same time stretched out a hand and pinched the hand of his younger brother Cheng Dong who was standing beside him, signaling him to be calm. Cheng Yi already felt it, this younger brother who couldn't stand it seemed to want to make a fortune again.
Ma Yu smiled slightly and said, "Master Su also has a lot of difficulties in the matter of suitable talents, please understand." Master Su asked me to come over to make some amends to what happened just now, not malicious. ”
"Tian has already given it to you, what other remedy is there?" Cheng Yi said lightly, different from the image of kneeling on the ground and begging just now, at this time, she didn't have any thoughts, but returned to the reserved and elegant appearance of the lady before.
"Cheng family lady, this is not the place to talk, if you two don't mind, can you let me and this Chen Daochang enter the room to talk?" Ma Yu asked.
Cheng Yi is a reasonable woman, she saw Ma Yu's polite appearance, but she couldn't bear to be too cold to him, so she gave way to the side and said, "Then there will be two Lao insults to the house." ”
Ma Yu and Chen Guanyu walked to Cheng's house and sat down in the hall, and Cheng Dong angrily pulled a stool and sat down next to him, waiting to hear what these two people had to say. Cheng Yi is a woman, and she can't sit on an equal footing with the men, so she can only stand with her hands down to the side.
After Ma Yu sat down, he first raised his eyes and looked around the whole house, only to see that the furnishings in the house were extremely simple, and it was not too much to describe it as a house with four walls. However, the floor and walls were very clean, and it is conceivable that the mistress of the house was a diligent and skillful person.
After reading this, he turned his head and asked Cheng Dong, who was sitting on the side, "Brother Cheng, I heard that you are familiar with poetry and books, I don't know what you have been reading recently?" ”
Cheng Dong was stunned for a moment, not knowing why the lobbyist sent by Su Hao asked about his reading, he hesitated for a moment and replied, "Recently, I was reading the Book of Rites." ”
"Oh, what a coincidence, I've been reading the Book of Rites recently, and there are still a few things that are not clear, I wonder if I can learn a thing or two from Brother Cheng?" Ma Yu seemed to be a nerd, and actually talked about learning.
Cheng Dong frowned, and without waiting for him to object, Ma Yu first said a few paragraphs of the content of the Book of Rites, and also said some of his confusion, as if he really wanted to ask Cheng Dong for advice. Cheng Dong has a very high understanding of knowledge, as soon as Ma Yu says something, he understands the key to it, and he can't help but discuss it with Ma Yu according to his own understanding. The two of you say a word, the more you talk, the more lively it becomes, and Cheng Yi and Chen Guanyu seem to be in the air.
"Brother Cheng is very talented, and I admire him very much." After chatting for a while, Ma Yu smiled and hugged Cheng Dong with a fist, stopped the discussion, and then turned his head to Cheng Yi and said: "The lady of the Cheng family, although Brother Ling is young, he has an extraordinary understanding in the scriptures, and he is really a dragon and a phoenix among people. If you can go to Longguang Academy to get the guidance of a famous teacher, you will definitely be able to get high in the list and glorify your ancestors. ”
Hearing Ma Yu talk about this, Cheng Yi couldn't help but feel worried, and sighed softly: "I have always wanted to find a teacher for him to guide me, but I have no choice but to be poor at home. Now that the only two acres of land are occupied, I don't know how to make a living next. ”
Chen Guanyu coughed lightly on the side and said, "Cheng family lady, Xiaodao thinks that the occupation of your family's two acres of land is not necessarily a bad thing. Blessings, misfortunes lurk; Woe is a blessing. The little lady seems to be forced to a dead end, perhaps in line with this statement. ”
"What do you mean, sir?" Cheng Yi asked strangely, she really didn't know what these two people meant. In a situation like her family, if Su Hao really wanted to harm them, there was no need to spend all these troubles. Now this Ma Yu and this old Taoist are going around in circles with them like this, do they really want to help them?
Chen Guanyu said: "Cheng family lady, your sister and brother live in this Caijia Village, after all, they are just foreign surnames, and they will always be bullied when they encounter something." The fact that the well occupies an area is actually expected. My master Su didn't speak for the little lady, and he also felt that even if the little lady could escape this catastrophe, Cai Lichang would still have the means to embarrass you in the future. Instead of being frightened all the time, the two of them might as well leave this Caijia Village and find another livelihood. ”
Cheng Yi nodded slightly, and said, "I don't know that this Caijia Village is no longer a place for my sister and brother, but I am a weak woman, and what way can I survive." My younger brother is still young, and he still has to study, so it is difficult for him to find any work. What should we do after leaving Caijia Village? ”
Chen Guanyu said: "If Mrs. Cheng can trust my master, she might as well move to Fengcheng County to live." My master said that he felt guilty about digging a well, and hoped that he would have a chance to make up for it. My master is a person close to the county master, and he wants to arrange a job for you, isn't it a matter of getting caught? ”
"That master of your family is so kind?" Cheng Dong said to Chen Guanyu angrily, "I think he and that Cai Lichang are the same raccoon dogs." ”
"Brother Cheng, you misunderstood." Ma Yu said, "Master Su did come to drill a well on the order of Zhixian County, and before we arrived in Caijia Village, we didn't know who Cai Lichang was. And the location of this well in your field today is also purely accidental. This theory of underground water veins is reasonable, and it is not made up to make it difficult for the two of them. ”
Next, Ma Yu briefly told the Cheng family brothers and sisters about Su Hao's deeds, which specifically mentioned that Su Hao was proficient in Western Gewu theory, and even told the sisters and brothers about the linear programming problem that Su Hao had in the academy on the first day. The Cheng family sisters and brothers all have some cultural skills, so they can naturally hear the truth of Ma Yu's words, and Su Hao's talent really surprised the two.
"However, we are not related to Master Su, so why should he help us?" Cheng Yi asked.
Chen Guanyu said: "My master is kind-hearted, don't say that he didn't help you in the matter of digging wells this time, so I feel guilty." It's Xiaodao and I, I still offended Master Su at the beginning, and he was able to give Xiaodao a bite to eat regardless of his previous suspicions. ”
Ma Yu said: "Master Su heard that Brother Cheng is quite talented, and he also loves talents. He specially ordered his younger brother to come over, and he also had the intention of taking the school to test Brother Cheng's knowledge. Master Su said that it is a pity that a talented person like Brother Cheng is nested in Caijia Village. I think Master Su also wants to help Brother Cheng so that he doesn't get dusty in the pearl. ”
Cheng Yi was a little moved by what Chen Guanyu said, she turned her head to Cheng Dong and asked, "Xiao Dong, what do you think of what Ma Xianggong and Chen Daochang said?" ”
Cheng Dong said: "Anyway, we can't stay in Caijia Village, so it's okay to go to the county seat first." I don't believe in that Master Su's character. But I admire Brother Ma's character, and presumably Brother Ma will not lie to us. ”
This is Cheng Dong playing with a child's temper, in fact, listening to Ma Yu and Chen Guanyu's explanations, his opinion of Su Hao has changed greatly. Ma Yu said that Su Hao felt that Cheng Dong was a talented person, and this praise made Cheng Dong feel very useful. However, after scolding Su Hao just now, it is extremely difficult to get Cheng Dong to immediately change his words and say good things about Su Hao. Ma Yu was discussing knowledge with him just now, and the two of them chatted very speculatively, so Cheng Dong was more willing to give this face to Ma Yu.
persuaded the Cheng family sisters and brothers, Ma Yu and Chen Guanyu felt much more relaxed. The two of them said goodbye to the Cheng family sisters and brothers, returned to the well drilling site, and reported the Cheng family's affairs to Su Hao 1510. Han Qian stood aside, and after listening to this, she also nodded, and asked Su Hao: "This Cheng family sister and brother is indeed sympathetic, Brother Su, do you have any plans for how to settle the Cheng family sister and brother?" ”
Su Hao shrugged his shoulders and said, "I myself have just gained a foothold in the county seat, how can I settle them?" I pondered, Old Master Wu owes me a favor, and it shouldn't be difficult for him to take Cheng Dong into the academy to study, right? As for the Cheng family's lady, I wonder if Brother Han has a way to arrange an errand for her? ”
Han Qian glared at Su Hao and said, "Brother Su, you did your own sin, and let me help you clean up these things, are you embarrassed?" ”
Since Su Hao knew Han Qian's identity, he naturally wouldn't let her go. Han Wen is also the head of a county, so it should be easy to arrange a job for Cheng Yi, right? He said with a smile: "Brother Han, it's not that Xiao Sheng is unwilling to help the Cheng family's lady, it's really a matter of digging wells, and Xiao Sheng doesn't dare to leave his post without permission." Brother Han should have something to do with it in the county, this kind of effortless thing, Brother Han should not shirk it. ”
Han Qian really convinced Su Hao's rogue energy, she stomped her foot lightly, and said, "I really can't see that you Su Hao is such a person." ”
"What kind of people?" Su Hao asked.
"You know it yourself." Han Qian snorted and stopped paying attention to Su Hao.
Su Hao smiled proudly in his heart, the feeling of teasing the little girl was really good. He had already inquired with Lu Xiu'er before, and knew that Han Qian had just turned sixteen years old, and she was left in the next life, that is, a standard yellow-haired girl.
