Seeing Zhao Yan's confused look, Princess Bao'an and the others were all very surprised, and in the end, Cao Ying, who knew Zhao Yan best, seemed to have guessed something, and immediately asked: "Husband, you invited Mrs. Yan to come to school, how many bundles did you give people?" ”

"Bundles? This one...... Do you still have to give money? Zhao Yan was also stunned when he heard this, of course he knew that teachers also needed salaries, but his Qingshui Primary School was not the same, all the students who came to school were not charged, which was equivalent to a charitable school, for example, he had never thought of being paid as a teacher, plus he had always felt that Yan Yuru could come to class every day with nothing to do, and he was probably also a person who didn't have to worry about money, so in his opinion, Yan Yuru was actually equivalent to a volunteer he had invited, and all labor was free.

Hearing that Zhao Yan didn't think about giving money at all, Cao Ying and the others couldn't help but touch their foreheads with their hands, they were really a little speechless about Zhao Yan's thoughts, and fortunately they said a little more, otherwise Yan Yuru had been busy for a long time but didn't have a penny of compensation, and with her temperament, she would be embarrassed to ask Zhao Yan for money, and in the end it would definitely cause a big misunderstanding.

"Husband, aren't you here, Yan Yuru's living situation is actually not very good?" At this time, even Xue Ning'er couldn't stand it anymore, and asked helplessly.

"Huh? This one...... I don't seem to be there, how do you know? Zhao Yan said honestly, he really didn't see this problem, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of paying the other party at all.

"Isn't it true that you, husband, Yan Yuru have never worn any accessories during this time?" Xue Ning'er asked again first.

"Husband, you haven't appeared, and Yan Niangzi hasn't applied any fat powder during this time? Although her skin is very delicate, a little powder will only make her more beautiful. Then Jeruth also spoke.

"The husband may not know that the maid next to Yan Niangzi goes outside to dig wild vegetables every day. Although they have geese at home, the consumption of wild vegetables is also too large. Cao Ying also sighed at this time and said.

"The third brother is too careless, Sister Yuru has been in class during this time, and there are only two changes of clothes to be turned over, which is too shabby for a woman." Princess Bao'an also spoke at this time.

However, after Zhao Yan listened to Cao Ying's words. But his head was full of sweat, and he couldn't imagine that these women would observe a person so carefully, although he and Yan Yuru met every day during this time, but the conscience of heaven and earth, he didn't pay attention to whether the other party wore accessories, whether he applied fat powder, etc., and he wouldn't notice whether the other party had changed his clothes, let alone be bored enough to ask Yan Yuru's maid how many wild vegetables he had dug up. Whether the goose can eat these wild vegetables and so on!

"That's it, third brother, you are too careless, after I learned about these circumstances, I immediately guessed that Yan Yuru's life must not be very rich." In the end, even Princess Shoukang stepped forward to make up for Zhao Yan, but Zhao Yan glanced at her with some disdain, he bet that with his third sister's temperament, he must not have noticed any of the above. At most, I heard Cao Ying and them talk about it afterwards, so I only knew about Yan Yuru's situation.

"I see. But it's not too late, now I have to ask a gentleman in a private school to give three to five times a month, since Yan Yuru's situation is so bad, then we will give five times, any more will seem a little too deliberate, I'm afraid the other party is not willing to accept it. Zhao Yan finally bowed his head and admitted his mistake. And the mistakes were also corrected in a timely manner.

"Wuguan is just right, Yan Yuru only has a little maid by her side, and the money is enough for the expenses of the two of them, so I will ask someone to prepare it, and then send it with my husband!" Cao Ying also immediately praised when she heard this.

"I'm going to go now. Don't you have to wait until the end of the month to get paid? Zhao Yan asked again in surprise when he heard Cao Ying's words, he remembered that whether it was now or in the future, it was generally only after working that he had to get the money, why did Yan Yuru have to get the money before he worked now?

"What does the husband think of Mr., although Yan Yuru is a woman, but he is also the gentleman you invited, since he is a gentleman, then he must use the etiquette of treating Mr., absolutely sloppy, no matter who invites Mr., it is necessary to send a bundle first, only if people are willing to accept it, they will start teaching, this is the truth in the world, after all, Mr. is not our family's descendant." Cao Ying explained with a smile that inviting a gentleman is not something that can be solved just by spending money, and even sometimes you may not be able to invite a gentleman if you have money.

Zhao Yan finally understood the weight of the words "respect for teachers" when he heard this, maybe in the later generations of commercialization, teachers have already become not much different from other ordinary professions, but in the era of the Great Song Dynasty, teachers are unanimously respected by most people, after all, the word "sir" is sometimes equated with "father".

As a teacher, Zhao Yan naturally hopes that his profession will be respected by others, and he will not take the initiative to undermine the courtesy that teachers should receive, so after dinner, he and Cao Ying immediately brought a few apprenticeship gifts for Yan Yuru and personally sent them to the other party's home.

At this time, Yan Yuru and Yinniang were eating dinner, compared to some time ago, their current days are more bitter, dinner is only two bowls of clear soup like rice soup, and there is also a small pot of steamed wild vegetables, now the wild vegetables are old, and they taste dry and astringent, fortunately, today Yinniang hit a palm-sized fish, which was made into steamed fish and put on the table, but Yan Yuru didn't move much, all of them were given to Yinniang, after all, she was the time to grow her body, and she had to work, so she naturally had to eat more.

At this moment, Yan Yuru and the others suddenly heard a knock on the door outside, although it was not completely dark yet, but the sun had sunk for the most part, and there were only two women in their family, as long as they were people who knew the situation, they should not choose to visit at this time.

Thinking of the above, Yan Yuru and Yinniang both showed a look of vigilance, put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked out of the living room, and picked up two wooden sticks in the courtyard to hide behind them.

At that moment, the master and servant came to the back of the gate with weapons in hand, and then Yinniang asked loudly, "Who is outside?" ”

"Mrs. Yan, please open the door, the king and princess of my family are coming to visit!" A crisp female voice came from outside.

Yan Yuru immediately heard that the person who spoke was the maid Mi Xue beside Cao Ying, and the other party was also listening to classes with her at school, which made her hurriedly put the weapon in her hand behind the door, straightened her clothes and opened the door herself, and sure enough, she saw Zhao Yan and Cao Ying standing outside the door with a group of maid guards from the palace.

"The little girl meets the prince and princess!" Yan Yuru immediately took Yinniang forward and saluted, and at the same time, she was also guessing in her heart why the other party came to visit at this time, was it to go to the school to be a teacher?

"Mrs. Yan doesn't have to be polite, my husband and I came here today to specially send you into the school, and I hope Mrs. Yan will accept it with a smile!" Cao Ying has always been straightforward, and immediately got straight to the point after seeing Yan Yuru.

Yan Yuru was also worried about this matter, but she didn't expect Zhao Yan and Cao Ying to personally send themselves to the door, which made her feel flattered for a while, but she has always been a cold character, and soon recovered her normal heart, and saluted Cao Ying and Zhao Yan again: "There are the kings and princesses of Laojun who have sent them, if the two of you don't dislike them, please enter the hall for a while!" ”

"Hehe, that's going to bother you!" Cao Ying also smiled and said, when you come to visit, you naturally have to sit down, which is also a necessary etiquette, otherwise the host may think that he looks down on the other party.

Zhao Yan This is the second time he has come to Yan Yuru's house, at the moment he smiled and nodded at Yan Yuru, and then came to the living room with Cao Ying, at this time Yin Niang had already returned to the living room first, and was cleaning up the food on the table, but when Zhao Yan and Cao Ying came in, they still didn't clean up, and when Zhao Yan and Cao Ying saw those simple meals, they both looked at each other, it seems that they guessed correctly before, Yan Yuru's life is indeed very embarrassing.

If it is an ordinary person who is seen by a guest that the food he eats is so simple, I am afraid that he will be a little embarrassed, and even say a few words to support the scene, but Yan Yuru did not say anything, in her opinion, what she eats is her own business, as for the eyes of others, she has no time to care.

After Zhao Yan and Cao Ying sat down, Yan Yuru chatted with their husband and wife, because it was late, so Zhao Yan quickly asked people to send Yan Yuru's bundle, in addition to the monthly five guan money, there are ten pieces of bacon, which is also the standard gift of the apprenticeship ceremony, and it is also the rule set by Confucius at the beginning, and even the word bundle originally referred to bacon, of course, the times are changing, and the standard of the apprenticeship is also changing, but ordinary people are still willing to add bacon to the apprenticeship, and Cao Ying has also prepared some other gifts, which are not very valuable, But it's very practical.

Yan Yuru was also very satisfied with the monthly remuneration of five times, and the Yin Niang beside her stared at the ten pieces of bacon and swallowed her saliva. Zhao Yan and Cao Ying also got up to say goodbye at this time, and then Yan Yuru sent them out of the door again, and when she closed the door and returned to the living room, she saw that Yin Niang was already holding a piece of bacon and gnawing desperately, but unfortunately although her teeth were good, the bacon was too hard to gnaw at all.

Seeing Yinniang's appearance, Yan Yuru felt both funny and a little sad, and immediately ordered her to cut the bacon before eating, and she herself breathed a sigh of relief, from now on, they will no longer live frugally.

On the way back, Zhao Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, with Yan Yuru as a teacher, the students' learning should not be affected, and he can finally give a lecture to Cao Tong and them with peace of mind, but I don't know what kind of expression they will have when they hear what they are talking about?
