Master Fu only stayed for one day, and left after breakfast the next day.

Qingshu said: "Teacher, why don't you let Shigong stay for two more days?" ”

"Your master used to study in Jinling, and this time it is rare to come to Jinling to visit his old friends."

"Oh."

Fu Ran asked Fu Jingze: "What books have you read?" ”

Fu Jingze hung his head and said: "The "Three Character Classic" and the "Thousand Character Text" have been read. ”

Looking at him like this, Fu Ran was very dissatisfied: "When talking to people, you must raise your head, so that you will be looked down upon when you cower and go out." ”

Fu Jingze raised his head at this time.

Because of the small room, Fu Ran's classes are all in her own bedroom. So this will also bring two people into the house.

Pointing to the pen and paper, Fu Ran said: "Give me the "Three Character Classic" to write it silently. ”

Seeing Fu Jingze bowing his head and writing an article silently, she turned her head and gave Qingshu a lecture.

Fu Jingze Mo finished writing and saw that Fu Ran was still lecturing without saying a word, and waited until she finished the lecture before speaking: "I'm done." ”

Fu Ran took it and looked at it carefully, then nodded and said, "It's not bad." ”

The entire article is dictated without typos and in good handwriting.

took a regular script and handed it to Fu Jingze, saying, "Copy it according to this copybook." ”

When she was in class, Fu Ran mainly taught Qingshu, and she only taught Fu Jingze when Qingshu was doing questions or taking notes.

Fu Jingze used to take classes in ethnology. There are more than 20 students in the clan, and the standard is uneven. On weekdays, I write and recite silently by myself, and occasionally the old gentleman will give instructions. So Fu Ran did this, he didn't think much about it.

In the evening, it began to rain lightly. An autumn rain and a cold, that night was colder than the day before.

The next morning, Fu Ran looked at Fu Jingze still wearing that thin autumn coat and couldn't help frowning and said, "Don't you know when it's cold?" Why are you still wearing such thin? ”

"Hacha ......"

After sneezing, Fu Jingze entered the house. As a result, when he came out, Fu Ran's face became more and more unsightly.

Fu Jingze just added a thin autumn coat outside, and did not change into thick clothes. Autumn clothes are not close-fitting, even if you add two or three more pieces, they will not keep warm.

Fu Ran asked, "Why didn't your father and mother buy you two thick clothes?" ”

Fu Jingze couldn't help but hang his head again: "My family is poor, and I don't have money to buy thick clothes." ”

Fu Ran's face suddenly turned unpleasant: "I left twenty taels of silver for your father and mother before I left." Even if you want to ask a doctor to take medicine, it is more than enough to buy two cotton clothes. ”

Fu Jingze is just an ordinary wind chill, and he can get better after taking medicine for three or five days.

She used to think that the husband and wife were honest people, so she agreed to his father's succession, and now it seems that she is also secretly hiding adultery.

Qingshu interjected: "I pulled the cloth to buy cotton and made it myself, and I didn't even need a tael of silver for two cotton clothes." ”

Fu Jingze was stunned: "You left twenty taels of silver?" ”

Fu Ran said with a calm face: "Could it be that you think I lied to you?" Do you think it's necessary? ”

Fu Jingze lowered his head again.

The child of a poor family was in charge of the house early, and he knew the purchasing power of twenty taels of silver. He took medicine for three days for wind and cold, and it cost only two taels of silver. With so much money left, his mother was reluctant to buy him even two cotton clothes. At this moment, Fu Jingze's heart was sour.

Although Fu Ran felt uncomfortable, he still softened a little when he looked like this: "Forget it, there is no class this morning, I will take you to buy two clothes." ”

Qingshu didn't have anything to buy, so he didn't go out with him.

In the evening, while Fu Ran was resting in the house, Qingshu found Fu Jingze and said to her: "Senior brother, the teacher is more serious, but in fact, he is very soft-hearted and very good to people. ”

Fu Jingze nodded and said, "I know, she actually cares about me very much." ”

If you didn't care about him, you wouldn't have bought him so many clothes, and bought him books and pen and ink inkstones.

"Senior brother, did someone tell you that the teacher succeeded you in order to support the elderly?"

Fu Jingze was silent.

Silence actually means that she is right.

Qingshu said: "Those people are coaxing you to play!" The teacher inherited you for the sake of the hearts of Mr. An and his wife, not for the sake of the elderly. ”

After a pause, Qingshu said again: "I have already told the teacher, and I will give her a pension in the future." ”

Fu Jingze was a little surprised: "Really? ”

"I never tell a lie."

Fu Jingze shook his head and said, "But you are going to marry in the future, how can you provide for your mother in old age?" ”

"If the other party doesn't agree, I won't marry. Moreover, teachers don't need you to support their old age if they have a house and a land. On the contrary, if the teacher doesn't want you, don't say that you don't even have winter clothes for the imperial examination. ”

These words are actually somewhat hurtful. But Gu Heping's lessons from the past made Qingshu unable to take care of these, she wanted Fu Jingze to remember Fu Ran's kindness. In this way, you will not be a white-eyed wolf in the future.

Fu Jingze stopped talking again.

Qing Shu asked with some curiosity, "Is your family very poor?" Why don't you even have money to buy clothes? ”

Fu Jingze was silent and said: "My father failed in business, and he relied on the help of the clan to barely support us in the past two years. It was also because the clan provided free lunch that my mother sent me to study in the clan. ”

If he hadn't gone to the clan study, he wouldn't even know how to read.

Qingshu thought about it for a while, and asked in a low voice: "You delayed coming to Jinling for so long, did your father regret passing you on to the teacher?" ”

Fu Jingze was silent again.

"I heard Sister Xin'er say that after you, my teacher gave your father and mother two hundred taels of silver as compensation."

I thought that my grandparents gave Sanfang so many things after they succeeded Gu Heping, but Gu Heping didn't know at all. She couldn't let anything like that happen again.

Fu Jingze looked shocked: "What you said is true?" ”

"Of course it's true. Why, don't you know? ”

Fu Jingze's eyes turned red instantly: "I don't know, no one told me." ”

Fu Jingze's parents were embarrassed to tell him this, and it was impossible for Fu Ran to say it.

Qingshu was a little unbearable to see him so sad, but he still had to say: "I'm just a teacher's student, and she treats me like a daughter." As long as you are sincere to her, the teacher will treat you as if you were his own son. ”

Fu Jingze was silent for a long time and said, "I know." ”

At dinner on the second morning, Fu Jingze saw Fu Ran and mustered up the courage to shout, "Mother......"

Fu Ran was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and nodded, "Sit down and eat!" ”

When Fu Jingze was at home, it was rare to eat meat once a month, but when he came here, chicken, duck, and fish were all eaten. As his aunt said, he was a son to his mother.

After eating, Fu Ran said to him: "From tomorrow onwards, you will get up at two o'clock and come to my room at three o'clock, and I will teach you to learn "Taixue". ”

Originally, she wanted to send Fu Jingze directly to Mr. Private School, but this child's foundation was too poor and he would not accept it if he sent it to Mr. Ren. So, I can only work my own.

"Okay."

Qingshu asked: "Teacher, don't you need to learn "Arithmetic" and "Book of Songs" junior brother?" ”

"I'm sure I'm going to learn, but I'll have to wait for him to get used to it first."

She will only teach some basic ones, and if she is deeper, she will definitely let Mr. Private School teach them. The entrance examination for women is different from that for men.
