Chapter 231
The so-called sky-high asking price to repay the money on the spot, even if it is a transaction of the yamen, there must be room for negotiation.
Of course, she also wanted to communicate with Li Zheng first, and when Li Zheng helped go to the yamen to investigate, she also asked people to inquire and compare in various villages. Let's see how much this barren mountain is priced in various villages and towns.
Li Zheng nodded with a smile, "It's not a problem, I'll go to the yamen tomorrow, if I have the right words, I'll ask someone to send you a letter!" ”
After talking about the business, Lin Baoru didn't want to stay any longer, and said a few kind words to Li Zheng and his wife, and beckoned Liu Shulai to leave with Liu Shuyan.
But this time, Li Zheng looked at Liu Shuyan and stopped talking. It wasn't until he personally sent people to the door, and saw that a few people were about to get into the carriage, that he gritted his heart, looked at Liu Shuyan and said, "Second Young Master, you have taught many half-grown children in our village to recognize their names today...... How many people in our village are grateful...... I thought, if you have the opportunity to come back next time, can you tell the children in our village about the words in those books again? ”
In fact, he pondered this several times after the morning.
The land in Taoxi Village is not rich, there are few fields, and the fertile land is better, but the harvest of the thin fields cultivated by the family is really not much. In such a situation, it is naturally impossible to ask Mr. to open the school.
Even if he wanted to, no one would come to this poor and remote place.
But those who are literate are either bookkeepers in the town, or they are taken over by private schools or wealthy families early.
Not to mention what kind of down-and-out talent, it is a few scholars who have not won the exam for more than ten years, and it is better to eat in the town than in the countryside.
To be honest, even his family is a good family in the village in this kind of life, and they can't afford to support their grandson to read and write. Not to mention the constraints, just pen, ink, paper, inkstone and books, it is a huge amount of money.
said that he also asked his grandson to learn a few common words from the Lao Ba people.
When the Lin family's old house was still beautiful before, he also discussed with the Liu family, and when Lin Youzhi came back, he chatted with the children in the village about the things in the school. Even if there are children in each family, gather some wheat and bud rice as a reward.
But every time they said it, Liu and Zhang raised their chins first and said something that was not there, even Lin Youzhi frowned and said that he would delay his own study.
Over time, this matter was buried in his heart.
Originally, he wouldn't think about it anymore, but since the nephew of the second room, the third son of the Lin family, started to study, and came back from time to time to teach a few children in the second room some things. The second room is not stingy, regardless of whether it is right or not, anyway, he does not hide it and teach it to the people in the village, and his heart has another thought.
But what the child teaches is not good enough, not as careful as the second young master of the Liu family today.
Today, when he was wandering around the village, when he heard groups of children reciting the three-character scripture together, he inevitably had mixed feelings in his heart. The desire to let the children of each family enlighten and learn words was born again.
He didn't want to keep Liu Shuyan to come to Taoxi Village as a gentleman, after all, even if he hadn't been to Liu's family, he knew that a big family like Liu's family didn't lack so much at all.
When Lin Li was saying this, he was also a little weak-hearted, lest he would upset the two young masters of the Liu family and involve Baoru's daughter.
But if he didn't say it, he wouldn't have a way to get him......
In any case, now he is a second-best thing, not asking for a serious teacher in the village. He just wanted the second young master of the Liu family to come and help him see if the words taught by the nephew in the second room were correct.
Lin Baoru knew that this matter could not be decided by herself, so she pulled Liu Shulai to stand aside and watch.
Liu Shuyan didn't expect Lin Lizheng to mention this, until he saw that he was about to give it up, he was a little flattered and nodded again and again: "You don't have to be polite, it's just a gesture, and Uncle Li Zheng is not worth it." ”
"Then the second young master responded?" Lin Li was relieved to see that he didn't hold the shelf.
Liu Shuyan nodded, and did not hesitate: "As long as Uncle Li Zheng doesn't think I'm young and don't have enough knowledge." ”
In fact, Liu Shuyan didn't expect that he could get so much respect just by going to kiss. In the past, when he went out, he met relatives or classmates, which one didn't most often sigh that he was weak and couldn't support things?
Even if my mother mentions it, I'm worried about getting sick all the time, so don't talk about work on weekdays, even if I go out, I have to tell you a thousand times. It made him feel guilty for many years, and he often felt sorry for himself, as he did this morning.
He didn't even expect that the previous day he just talked about something that was not profound, and so many people would be grateful.
After Liu Shuyan responded to Lin Lizheng's words, he left with his eldest brother and sister-in-law.
But when he went back, he had always been sick and had no complexion, and he was obviously a little refreshed and energetic. Even when talking to his eldest brother and sister-in-law, he is less restrained and hesitant.
In Lin Baoru's opinion, this person seems to be ...... It seems to be smooth. Peerless Tang Gate fo
When I got home, as soon as a few people entered the door, they saw Mrs. Liu.
I heard a report from someone before, saying that the second young master went to Taoxi Village with the eldest young master and young lady, and she began to worry.
Own old. Er's body is thin, so she has never let him run, let alone let him go to the countryside bumpingly. Even on his own Zhuangzi, he didn't let him go, for fear that he would have an accident when he stayed.
But now, she looks at her old family. The two sides are ruddy, and the steps when entering the door seem to be a little brisk. I calmed down a little.
After a few people said a few words, someone came to send a message saying that Chen Sanshao had found a high-grade cockfight, so where could Liu Shulai sit still, and ran away directly.
However, Liu Shuyan knew that his mother-in-law had always thought of her own body, and was worried that she would blame her sister-in-law, so she said first: "Mother, today I went to Taoxi Village with my eldest brother and sister-in-law, but I felt much lighter. ”
Isn't it brisk? When he was lecturing, he didn't have time to get into the nitty-gritty. When he met those little eyes full of admiration, he really couldn't remember those annoying knots in his heart.
When the next few aunts sent things, he felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. Although he felt that he shouldn't think like this, he really felt for the first time that he was not a useless person.
In the past, he always felt that he was useless except for reading. I can't help my mother at home, I can't help my eldest brother correct my name outside, and I even have to keep my mother and eldest brother in mind everywhere.
Liu Shuyan smiled a little shyly, but the smile came from the bottom of his heart, and even the whole person had some vitality. It's not like before, it's obviously not too old, and it's an old man.
Mrs. Liu, who originally blamed Lin Baoru a little, couldn't help but feel sour when she saw her son like this.
When Liu Shuyan felt sleepy and went back to the yard first, Lin Baoru said a few heartfelt words to her mother-in-law, who had mixed feelings.
"Mother, the second brother is a good one, but he is also a precocious one. He is the opposite of Xianggong's temperament, and Xianggong is used to living a heartless and free life. But the second brother was confined to the school at home due to physical reasons, not to mention going to play, but he didn't go farther. Lin Baoru pondered and said, "But today I took my second brother out and found that he is a thoughtful and insightful person." It is precisely because of this that the second brother who is protected at home is more likely to be depressed because he can't find his own value. ”
She quietly looked at her mother-in-law's expression, and knew that her mother-in-law still felt sorry for Liu Shuyan, so she could only say slowly: "My daughter-in-law knows that this is a little inappropriate, but I always feel that a good mood is more beneficial to the second brother's body." The mother should let the second brother go out to see the sky and the sea, so that he can have a goal, and save the horns......"
Mrs. Liu opened her mouth and wanted to refute something, but those words fell into her ears and fell into her heart, so she couldn't say anything about it.
She was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Mother knows that you are a good boy, but ...... Back then, Yan'er almost couldn't save it several times because of her frailty. Later, I asked someone to find the Taoist to show him the eight characters, and the Taoist said that he died early and counted ......"
It is also because of this that she has never let go of her heart for more than ten years.
When Lin Baoru heard this, she felt a little helpless.
Although she has experienced such an unexplained thing as crossing over, even so, she doesn't believe in those so-called fortune tellers and critics.
If you are really a master, how can you casually leak the secret of heaven?
Besides, if this can be calculated so accurately, so many dignitaries and nobles in the world, even the princes and grandsons, can't they all find a master to see through their own lives? Where else will there be any change of imperial power in Kowloon?
"Mother, back then, my grandmother and uncle were looking for a half-immortal fortune teller, saying that I was a disaster star, so they were so disgusted with me and my mother." Lin Baoru chuckled and said, "But according to my mother, am I a disaster star?" ”
"Besides, I'm a scourge, and as long as I work hard, I can't change my life. Compared to those illusory lives, I believe that things are man-made. ”
In other words, if all the fortune tellers in the world are allowed to approve the eight characters, then why bother with doctors and yamen? If you are weak, you can ask for a fortune teller to ask for details, so you can just rely on it. If there is a major murder case, don't you just find them and count them for a hexagram? ”
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she sighed for a long time and said, "You understand what you said, but it's just ......."
Her words were not exhausted, but it was enough for Lin Baoru to understand.
"Mother knows that you are a good boy, and what you say is also good for words. But when it comes to Yan'er's body, my mother doesn't dare to be careless. After a pause, she patted Lin Baoru's hand again and said, "Mother doesn't blame you, Mother knows that you are a stable person, so if you want to go out with Yan'er in the future, you always have to prepare." If there's a case, it's easy to deal with. ”
Mrs. Liu didn't want to detain her son, not to mention, just now she saw her son, who had always been depressed, looking happy, and her gestures were more energetic.
Therefore, when Lin Baoru said those words just now, she was able to listen patiently.
In fact, who wants to see their son depressed? She even prefers to be old in her own house. The second is the same as the boss, as long as he is healthy and healthy.
But he was born partially, he couldn't run and couldn't make trouble, so he read books and read books every day to find some fun. Therefore, seeing that her son's mood has taken a few moments, where is she willing to let him go back to the past?
