Early the next morning, Deng Zixuan got into a carriage and returned. The exalted man did not come out to see him off, but just let the butler deal with things in front of the door. Deng Zixuan didn't seem to mind, he was in a good mood, after all, the purpose of this visit was achieved, and he gained a lot of money. At this time, Wan'er and the two maids climbed to a high place and silently saw off their man.

After a short time together yesterday, the girl's heart was completely captured by Deng Zixuan. You must know that women in this era are very infatuated, Zixuan is not only graceful, but also heroic. In Wan'er's mind, Zixuan's appearance has been described countless times, and her appearance is consistent with her imagination, the key is Zixuan's speech and demeanor, which makes Wan'er feel at home in an instant. She barely slept last night, and this man swore with blood that this was a priceless treasure that could not be exchanged for thousands of family fortunes.

"Miss! Deng Gongzi is unusual, he boldly has a tryst with you privately, he is an amorous man! "Miss! You barely slept last night, and we didn't get a good night's rest, what did he say to you last night that made you stunted? Wan'er looked sad, if the maid was noisy in normal times, it would have been a mess a long time ago.

Wan'er raised her heel and continued to look, the shadow of the carriage in the distance blurred, gradually melting into the sun's light. "Deng Lang!" Wan'er muttered to herself, covering her chest with her hands, because she cherished Zixuan's blood book in her arms, and she couldn't help but shed tears in the depths of her love. The maid was really sad when she saw the young lady, and she also had a sour feeling and was silent.

At this time, Deng Zixuan was completely silent in the excitement of the jewelry box, where he thought that Wan'er was sad! I wonder how many silver taels these jewelry can be exchanged for? Miss Wan'er didn't expect him to do this. With the silver, what should I do next? Deng Zixuan began to meditate again. It was already afternoon when the carriage arrived at the Public Concession. At the entrance to the Anglo-French public concession, two tall French soldiers and two Indian soldiers stood guard dutifully.

At this time, a small sedan chair stopped at the entrance, and in addition to the two women who carried the sedan chair, two maids followed. Deng Zixuan guessed that the person in the sedan chair must be a female dependent. Suddenly, a group of small people came up asking for food, and asked for money around the sedan chair. After a while, a handful of copper coins were thrown out of the sedan chair, and the little rice flower began to coax. Deng Zixuan was thoughtful, and found an idea that popped into his mind.

When he returned home, he reported to his mother about the situation of the Rose Manor, and he did not mention anything about the exaltation of people making things difficult for him, in short, he added fuel and vinegar to the story of the warm hospitality he received in the Rose Manor, and his mother was very happy to hear it. Worried that the Gao family would withdraw from the marriage, Mrs. Deng was relieved now. There was nothing to say all night, and Deng Zixuan came to his mother's room early the next morning to say goodbye.

Seeing that her son didn't leave after asking for peace, her mother asked with concern: "Xuan'er, I can see that you have something to say!" Zi Xuanxiang pretended to snort and said: "Mom, the child had a dream last night, and it was my father and I who dreamed of it!" When my mother heard this, she stood up in surprise and asked, "What did your father say?" "Dad said that let me do good deeds to be smooth sailing, so I must recruit 20 scholars to accompany me in order to win fame."

"Nan no Amitabha!" Mother immediately folded her hands and muttered for a while, "It is your father's wish, and you must do it, otherwise his ghost will not be gone, and I will tell your brother about it." At lunchtime, his mother told Zixuan about his dream, and Zide was a little suspicious: "Brother She, I know you won't lie, you tell me about my father's dream again!" ”

Deng Zixuan recounted it again vividly, and Zide said: "Recruit 20 scholars at once, and the family's expenses will be doubled." Our family's income is not much, I'm afraid I can't afford it. Zide showed an embarrassed expression. Brother, I know what's going on at home. This time I went to the Rose Manor, and the exalted people gave me a sum of money to study hard. I'll do it! It's not easy for my brother to take care of business, so don't worry about it. "Zide is overjoyed when he hears it, how can there be any reason not to allow it!

A pawnshop with a good face, Deng Zixuan took a closer look at the package and walked in. Such valuable jewelry is not a small amount, and the pawnshop owner personally introduced Deng Zixuan into the back room. The pawnshop owner was playing with all kinds of jewelry, his eyes were aimed at Deng Zixuan, and he probably thought in his heart that the master in front of him was a gentleman, and he must have stolen the jewelry at home and pawned it.

"What the hell are you doing, the machine from the United States has arrived, and I urgently need money. If you don't get it, I'll go to the next house. Deng Zixuan lied and pretended to be impatient. Now they are all setting up foreign factories, and the boss believes it and says: "Dead or alive?" "Dead Block!" Deng Zixuan did not hesitate. Deal! Deng Zixuan didn't expect that a box of jewelry would block 7,300 taels of silver. It seems that Wan'er really likes herself, and she gave herself all the money she saved when she was a girl.

Such a huge amount of money, with the help of the pawnshop guys, tossed all the morning, and all of it was deposited into the Jardine Matheson opened by the British. Choosing a foreign foreign firm or a money bank, Deng Zixuan hesitated for a long time. Zuihou he still chose a foreign foreign company, there is no doubt that he must use his language advantage to slap the foreigners, and it turns out that he chose the right one.

Three hundred taels of silver were kept by his side, and all the whole amount was deposited. Walking out of Jardine Matheson, Charlie, the manager of the house, kept sending him out of the door respectfully. is not only a huge amount of money deposited into a foreign bank, the key is that Deng Zixuan's fluent English surprised the manager of the foreign bank, you must know that at present, in the Qing Dynasty, businessmen who can speak fluent English are simply rare.

"I'll give you a question, and if you can answer it, I'll reward you with a copper plate!" On this day, Deng Zixuan was tempted by a group of children called Huazi. Seeing that these little guys were stunned and confused, they took out a copper plate and said, "There are 5 birds in the tree, and there are still a few birds left under the next bird." The topic was so simple that the little ones scrambled to shout, "There are 4 birds left, 4 birds left!" Deng Zixuan shook his head to indicate that it was wrong, and then a black and thin little guy stepped forward and said, "I know, there is not a single bird left!" "Okay, congratulations!" Deng Zixuan handed him a copper coin.

"Tell me! Weishenme: Not a single bird is gone! The little ones shook their heads in confusion. Deng Zixuan felt very disappointed, so he beckoned this little guy to him and asked, "What's your name?" "How old are you this year?" "It's 11 years old!" "Would you like to be my scholar?" The little guy was very clever and knelt on the ground: "Thank you, sir, for your kindness, I do!" "From now on, you tell Deng Qiang to come with me!" When the beggars saw this, their faces showed envy.

Rather than indiscriminate, Deng Zixuan selected three children in different places that day with the same topic. Subsequently, he spent 10 days selecting 20 famous children in Shanghai County and the surrounding areas. The Deng family team was formed, and all the children were sexually Deng, and they were named separately. Deng Zixuan set up beds for the children in the next room to make it easier to manage them, and let Xiaohong take care of the children's daily hygiene.

On the first day of the official class, Deng Zixuan walked into the classroom and announced that Deng Qiang was the class leader, and he was in charge of management in his absence. "From today onwards, you are the children of the Deng family, and I am your husband. Now I'm going to make a rule・・・・・・ At the beginning, Deng Zixuan set the rules of militarized management for the children. Strict management and subtle brainwashing at the same time.

A month passed quickly, and since these children were selected through a relatively strict "assessment", it should be said that these children have a certain amount of talent. Deng Zixuan first opened two courses, one was Chinese and the other was mathematics. At present, in the Great Qing Dynasty, Deng Zixuan teaches the most modern knowledge. As for Gewu, he plans to teach them in two years' time. The elementary Chinese begins with literacy, and the children are very hardworking, and Deng Zixuan's method of punishing them is not to beat the handboard, but not to eat.

The children who had experienced hardship and hunger cherished the life in front of them, and soon they were able to recognize and write 200 commonly used Chinese characters. Deng Zixuan used the foreigner's Sunday to count the time, and a month later, he decided to rest on Sunday, so he took his children to the Huangpu River to fish. The hook is bought in a foreigner's shop, and the fishing line is made using several silk threads. Fishing can improve life and develop children's concentration, killing two birds with one stone.

It's not that the fish are stupid these days, but that there are too many fish in the river. On the first day of fishing, the children caught more than a dozen river fish of different sizes, and when they returned home, the whole family and children had a full fish feast. Since then, every Sunday, Deng Zixuan has led the children to go fishing by the river. The fishing skills are becoming more and more mature, and the harvest is gradually rich. At one point they brought in more than 200 fish and ate them for a week.

Deng Zixuan studied hard every day, and the old mother and brother saw it in their eyes and were happy in their hearts, as for what they were learning, they basically didn't ask. Moreover, his mother eats fasting and recites Buddha every day, and his brother has no time to take care of them when he takes care of business, so Deng Zixuan's secret actions will not attract anyone's attention. After 100 days of his father, his sister asked his mother to live in a small house, but his brother was too busy, so Deng Zixuan had to personally send his mother to his sister's house.

My brother-in-law's family lives in Songjiang Mansion, which is located on the west side of the British and French public concessions, about a dozen miles away. Sent my mother to my sister's house, but my brother-in-law was not there. Deng Zixuan used lunch to worry about the affairs of the family, so he said goodbye to his mother and sister and returned. Walking through the downtown area, Deng Zixuan got out of the car and walked, browsing the commercial activities on both sides by the way. Suddenly, he saw a group of people surrounding and didn't know what they were looking at, Deng Zixuan squeezed in to take a look, and found a big man lying on the ground. I saw the big man's body swinging uncontrollably. Look closely at the man's loose braids and dirty face. This person has thick bones and bare muscles, and at first glance he is a burly man, but he is very thin from the torture of the disease.

"What's going on?" Deng Zixuan asked. "Just now, this person walked staggeringly, and suddenly fell to the ground and became like this, I don't think eighty percent of them will survive!" The speaker sighed and turned to leave. Out of pity, Deng Zixuan leaned down, reached out to touch the forehead of the big man, and found that the forehead was hot, so he judged that the big man was having a high fever. Since he would lend a helping hand to the end, Deng Zixuan ordered everyone to carry the big man into his carriage, and then looked for a pharmacy. After the diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, it turned out that this big man had acute dysentery.

A few silver needles stopped the big man from swinging, and after pouring the traditional Chinese medicine, the old Chinese medicine doctor fed the big man a bowl of rice porridge. Soon the big man woke up, and the old Chinese medicine doctor took the pulse and said with a smile on his face: "You shouldn't die, it was this kind son who saved your life." Dahan looked at Deng Zixuan gratefully and said weakly: "Don't thank you for your kindness, please leave your name!" "In Xia Deng Zixuan, as the saying goes, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level butcher. It is a gentleman's duty to help each other. This is 10 taels of silver left for you, and you can take care of your illness! After saying that, he paid for the consultation and medicine, and then took his leave.

The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was winter. At this time, the children in Deng's class were already able to shake their heads and chew words, and because of the good food, the children's little faces had a healthy complexion. Deng Zixuan gave a lecture while instilling simple truths. Under Deng Zixuan's deliberate cultivation, the children developed the habit of asking questions in class, and this atmosphere was very enthusiastic.

This afternoon, Deng Zixuan was teaching the children, and the family broke in and said, "Young master, a few big men came to the back door, saying that they came to visit you." "The front door is a store, and usually people come in through the front door, but today the guests came through the back door. Deng Zixuan was puzzled, could it be that his former friend came? Looks like he's going to make a fool of himself. When I went out to check, I saw 8 strong ** dusty servants, who seemed to have come from afar.

Deng Zixuan was puzzled, and a big man led by him suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "Thanks to the grace of saving my life, I made a special trip to visit Gongzi in Xia Chen Jintang." ”

Deng Zixuan recognized it at a glance: "It turned out to be you, since a good man can afford me, it doesn't hurt to live in a humble house temporarily!" The big man didn't get up and said, "Childe! To tell you the truth, we are twisters, the government is chasing and killing us, and I remembered my son when I had no way out. If the son is inconvenient, I will leave immediately and will not bother! ”

Deng Zixuan said: "Hurry up, please get up, although I, Deng Zixuan, am a scholar, but I admire the heroes of the world, and I also have chivalrous tenderness, all heroes, please come in!" A group of mermaids rushed in.

"Young Master! Who are these people? Xiaohong asked a little apprehensively. It's my friend, you tell the room to prepare the meal at once, and then clean up the room of the ear, they are going to stay here for a while! Deng Zixuan walked into the room from the beginning after explaining.
