Chapter Seventy-Four: A New Identity "Scholar"
……
The weather is getting colder, and the white mist condenses on the treetops in the courtyard, adding a bit of life to the branches that are always dry.
Yu Sheng was wearing new clothes, with a little nervousness in anticipation, and went out with Chen Dashan.
This time, of course, it was not to hunt, but Wang Ying inquired about the rest of his life in the town.
Huangli Town, the town where Wang Ying worked before, is also a coincidence, there is a large family in the town to recruit a scholar, specially to accompany the young master to study, requiring calm, quiet, and honest.
Wang Yingyi summed up that he was an honest child for the rest of his life, and he was still a mute, and in terms of quietness, no one could beat him.
It's better to let him give it a try, in case it happens, he can also add some income to the family.
And the rest of his life couldn't ask for this, but he knew that the people in the village who were about the same age as him were all working, and they were only idle.
"For the rest of your life, the Huang family is a big family in the town, and the master of the Huang family is very kind to people, and you shouldn't suffer any grievances if you go," Chen Dashan said: "And this scholar is different from the servant, the servant signed a deed of sale, and the scholar doesn't need it, it's decent." ”
Yu Sheng listened carefully, Chen Dashan didn't know what he was thinking, and said: "If you can't choose, you can learn from the old man, you have a huge strength, it's a pity not to hunt, the old man knows a lot about these flowers, fruits and trees, if you can learn half of his skills, the black tiger forest will definitely be able to walk sideways, and when the time comes, how much meat will be eaten, which is much better than going to the field." ”
The rest of his life was helpless, he didn't know how much he ate those fruits, and he didn't see anything, he also knew that he was special, he just thought that he had the opportunity to go to the Black Tiger Forest again, the fragrance in the fruit made him have a tight aftertaste.
Chen Dashan said, and the two boarded the carriage to Huangli Town in the early morning, and this sat for an hour.
……
The Huang family started from a restaurant, and their annual income is not more than 10,000 yuan, and it is also one of the few families in the entire Huangli Town.
This time to recruit a scholar for the young master Huang Qiu is also a rare event, and countless people are rushing to give gifts to their children.
This is not only because he can get in touch with the Huang family, but also because he has become a scholar and can follow Huang Qiu into the academy together!
Approaching noon, Qi Bo, the old housekeeper of the Huang family, looked at the waves of people entering and leaving the mansion, and his brows furrowed.
This time to recruit a scholar for the young master, it was ordered by the master himself, but as far as he knew, the house originally had no such plan, and what was even more strange was that the master also specially instructed him to recruit a quiet scholar, the quieter the better, and even hinted to him that it would be better if he could recruit a dumb person to come in.
The old butler has followed the master for many years, and this time he really can't guess the master's thoughts.
I obviously want to recruit a dumb person, and I have a candidate in my heart, but I don't say it directly, it's really weird.
At this moment, the servant guarding outside the door came over and said hesitantly: "Butler, there is a dumb man outside, do you think we should let him go back directly?" ”
"Wait, go back? Why let him go back? Isn't the dumb just quiet? The old butler's eyes moved, and he said quietly, "Let people come in." ”
Yu Sheng followed the servant to the front yard, and saw an old man looking him up and down, and the scrutinizing gaze made him very unaccustomed.
"What's your name?" The old butler asked, but he was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that this dumb man would be a young man with red lips and white teeth, and his white complexion didn't look like a countryman.
Yu Sheng took out a piece of paper from his arms and unfolded it, because he couldn't speak, so before he came, Wang Ying specially prepared a few words for him to deal with the current situation.
The old butler glanced at it and asked, "Where are you from?" ”
Yu Sheng took out another piece of paper and wrote the words "Sanniu Village" on it.
The old housekeeper knew in his heart that Sanniu Village was a village near Huangli Town, and he remembered and said, "Then how old are you this year?" ”
How old is this year?
Yu Sheng thought for a moment and shook his head, he didn't know how old he was, and he didn't remember.
The old housekeeper didn't ask, nodded at Yu Sheng, expressed his approval, and said, "You look like you're sixteen or seventeen years old, the same age as the young master, this scholar, it's just you." ”
The servants on the side looked at the rest of his life enviously, the young master's scholar, as long as he can make the young master happy, he will definitely have no worries about eating and drinking in this mansion in the future, let alone waiting for the young master to inherit the family business.
Yu Sheng looked at the old housekeeper in surprise, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, after all, when discussing at home, Wang Ying and Chen Dashan just asked him to give it a try.
"You wait here, if it's okay, you can stay in the mansion today." After the old butler finished speaking, he glanced at Yu Sheng again, and then walked towards the study.
There, the lord is still waiting for news from him.
In the study, the middle-aged man with a rather powerful appearance was looking at the letter, it was the old man of the Huang family, Mr. Huang, the moment he heard the knock on the door, Mr. Huang put the letter away, and said, "It's Qi Bo, right?" Come in and talk. ”
The old butler walked into the study and said in a low voice, "Master, someone has been recruited." ”
Mr. Huang nodded, looked at Qi Bo, and waited for the following.
"It's a mute, from Sanniu Village, according to the master's orders, it's very quiet." Zieber smiled.
"How's it looking?" Mr. Huang asked.
Zieber paused for a moment and said, "It doesn't look like a villager." ”
Mr. Huang was still expressionless, and said, "Okay, just him." ”
After Qi Bo left, Mr. Huang took out the letter burning point, and on the envelope, the painting of a bat melted in the fire.
……
"For the rest of my life, there will be the young master's courtyard in front of me." Ziber pointed to a courtyard and led him inside.
"Young master, this is the scholar that the master found for you, for the rest of your life." Ziber said, knocking on a door.
There was silence in the room, and just when Yu Sheng suspected that there was no one inside, a weak childish voice came out, "Qi Bo, I know, you let him wait outside." ”
"Young master, it's noon, if you don't get up, the master should come over, and then the young master don't let the old man tell you." Qi Bo said, for his own young master, he watched him grow up, how could he not understand his temperament?
Sure enough, just a moment after Qi Bo's words fell, there was a messy noise in the room, and with a "squeak", the door opened.
Although the long hair is tied up, it still looks messy, and the clothes are neatly worn, but with the thin face smeared with rouge, how do you look weird.
Is this a young master or a young lady?
Yu Sheng's eyebrows twitched, and his eyes were full of eccentricity.
Huang Qiu had long been surprised by this kind of look, what made him care was that the scholar he was looking for at home could be so ...... Handsomeness?
That delicate skin, he was really jealous when he saw it.
"Your name is Yu Sheng?" Huang Qiu carried it down and said arrogantly.
I wanted to hear Yu Sheng call the young master, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Yu Sheng speak, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
This scholar is a little cold, a little arrogant!
Just as he was about to get angry, Qi Bo said on the side: "Young master, you can't speak for the rest of your life, you are a dumb person." ”
Huang Qiu was stunned again, the fire in his heart dissipated, just let a dumb man be a scholar for him, whose idea was this? Sick in the head!
"This is what the master said, find a quiet companion for the young master to read." Qi Bo smiled, and then said to Yu Sheng: "Yu Sheng, I will take care of the young master in the future." ”
Huang Qiu shrunk his neck, he was very afraid of Mr. Huang, and he didn't dare to refute it.
After Qi Bo left, Huang Qiu looked at Yu Sheng and said, "Although you are dumb, Young Master Ben will not treat you badly, but you can't report to my father, otherwise it will ......."
As he spoke, Huang Qiu looked for it from the courtyard, picked up a branch, and folded it hard!
"......" for the rest of his life.
"......" Huang Qiu.
Yu Sheng looked at Huang Qiu in confusion, not understanding why he bent the branches.
Huang Qiu coughed embarrassedly, replaced a dry branch, and worked hard again!
"......" for the rest of his life.
"......" Huang Qiu.
Hard! Hard!
Huang Qiu's face turned red, looking at the withered branches the thickness of his thumb, and his heart was sad and angry.
He, a dignified and iron-clad man, is now breaking a withered branch, crying out in vain?
Yu Sheng somewhat understood what Huang Qiu meant, thinking that he was now the young master's scholar, and he should help him solve his worries, so he snatched the branch from Huang Qiu's hand, and the two fingers were slightly forced, only to hear a "click", and the dead branch was broken into two sections.
"......" for the rest of his life.
"......" Huang Qiu.
The two looked at each other, and Huang Qiu suddenly shouted, "See, if you dare to make a small report to my father, I will let you break it in half like this branch!" ”
As if he felt that he didn't have much face like this, Huang Qiu snorted, and continued: "You find a room in this courtyard to stay, don't disturb me if you have nothing to do." ”
The door was closed again, and Yu Sheng looked at the courtyard, and settled in a corner, there was a pond, and there was a simple wooden house beside the pond, and for some reason, he thought it seemed very good.
……
When Chen Dashan returned home, Wang Ying saw that only his son came back, and his face instantly turned happy, and he said, "I was chosen for the rest of my life?" ”
"Haha, he stayed in the Huang family, I asked, fifty yuan a month." Chen Dashan said excitedly, fifty yuan a month, six hundred yuan a year, the top of the previous family's income.
"I knew that Brother Yu Sheng could be chosen," Chen Xiaolan grinned, her face flushed, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"I have a job for the rest of my life, and I will be relieved," Wang Ying was relieved, and then looked at Chen Xiaolan, "Next is you girl, I will send you to the academy in the next year, are you ready?" ”
"Huh?" Chen Xiaolan came back to her senses, but she didn't hear what Wang Ying had just asked her.
"Forget it, if you are not ready, my mother will send you into the house to put the maid, and then find you a mother-in-law." Wang Ying said regretfully, looking at the woman's changed face, and smiled for no reason.
The days are getting better and better, and seeing that the girl can also enter the academy, some people's spirits in the sky should also be blind, right?
