Chapter 17: Here comes an opportunity
"Don't look at Zijian now, based on what he has been doing since he was fourteen or fifteen years old, you know that he will eventually become a person like his father. Our Fu family can't afford to climb high. ”
Fu's mother suddenly lost her voice, and after a while, she said quietly: "What the master said is that the girl's family has to endure hardships when she marries high." ”
You don't have to be someone else, your own house is the most ready-made example. She married her sister at the end of a year, and her sister married a rich peasant, and she studied with her brother for a few days, bent on marrying a scholar. Although he finally got his wish, but when my mother-in-law was alive for a few years, even now, my eyes are sour.
Alas......
Fu's mother, who was in a predicament in the past, needed to be persuaded and completely forgot to promise Cang Zijian.
Fu Zhenyu was anxious to see his father, and he was too lazy to take care of his mother, so he chose to accompany his younger brother all day. The next day, when Fu Zhenyu was cooking lunch, Fu's mother went to the kitchen, as if nothing had happened, and naturally instructed Fu Zhenyu: "The soup at noon, your father wants to eat white fungus and red date soup at noon, and you will send it to him when you are ready." ”
In other words, Fu Zhenyu can see his father.
Fu Zhenyu obediently responded "Okay", and Fu's mother didn't stop for a moment and left directly. After Fu's mother left, Lin Jian walked out of the corridor and said to Fu Zhenyu: "Cousin, when you come back this time, I think the way you get along with your aunt is a little strange." ”
Fu Zhenyu cut the white fungus's hand for a moment, and asked Lin Jian: "What's wrong?" Wasn't that how we used to be? ”
What's the difference? Lin Jian also frowned and pondered, and after a long time, he said: "Although my cousin used to quarrel with the third aunt, everything was for her good, but now, my cousin seems to have given up on the third aunt and no longer cares about this disobedient child." It's a little weird for me to say that, but that's how I really feel. ”
Fu Zhenyu said: "Brother Bufeng's feeling is strange. ”
Weird and accurate.
Fu Zhenyu smiled lightly, but there was no emotion in his eyes.
In the past, when she and Fu's mother became mother and daughter, Fu Lin's was not as mature and stable as her, Fu Zhenyu had always regarded her as a sister, and naturally tried her best to teach. As for now, what are you doing with covering your unenthusiastic heart?
"When will my uncle and aunt arrive?" Say it in advance, I'll prepare the dishes. Fu Zhenyu changed the topic in time.
Lin Jian came for this: "Grandma turned over the yellow calendar and set the day at twelve, cousin should prepare more meals that the elderly can eat." ”
Fu Zhenyu understood, that is to say, the old man also had to come over.
On May 12, the Lin family arrived as scheduled and met a couple with a raw face at the gate. The couple, looking younger, was slightly younger than Mrs. Lin, around fifty years old. The man was dressed in earth and blue, and the standard civilian dress was fine; The woman was dressed in the cloth of the plain white forest family, and with her sallow face, how ugly and ugly it was. What makes Mrs. Lin most dissatisfied is that what annoys people is that her son-in-law of the Lin family is sick, and she comes to visit people in such clothes, isn't it?
The couple was obviously coming to Nanhu Academy for the first time, and they were not allowed to enter. After patting the door for a long time, but getting no response, the woman was shouting in a loud voice: "Open the door!" Is there anyone? O branches! ”
Nephew? Mo is not from the Fu family? After Mrs. Lin guessed it, she immediately denied her own opinion. Those people in Fu Jiatang are extremely poor, and they will not do such a thing. Besides, her son-in-law has a good relationship with the clansmen, and this will not happen.
After looking at half a cup of tea with cold eyes, Mrs. Lin said to her son, "You go and knock on the door." ”
Uncle Lin stepped forward and said to the couple, "You two didn't know what happened to my sister's house?" If you don't bother, let me knock on the door. ”
When the woman heard that it was a relative of Fu Shanchang, she pushed away her old man, and was so rude that she couldn't look at her directly.
"Country shrew."
Uncle Lin muttered, his voice was loud, just enough for the couple to hear, and the old lady Lin and Mrs. Lin in the distance couldn't hear it. Just when the woman raised her heavy eyebrows, Uncle Lin arched his hand and said, "Thank you two for giving in." ”
As if it wasn't him who was muttering just now. The woman was so angry that she jumped to her feet, just because she thought that he was Fu Shanchang's brother-in-law or eldest brother-in-law, so she endured it.
Uncle Lin, who succeeded, walked to the corner of the east wall, stood on tiptoe, and pressed the raised stone.
In less than a cup of tea, Lin Jian came out and shouted in turn: "Dad, grandma, mother, second aunt, you are here with a meal!" If I had known this, I wouldn't have been waiting for you in the outer courtyard for so long. Hurry up, the food is about to be served. ”
Old Lady Lin whipped her eldest grandson with a cane, and said angrily: "My old bones got up before dawn and drove sixty miles away, are you disgusted by yourself, or is your uncle dissatisfied?" ”
Lin Jian hurriedly said: "Grandma, you're here again!" How many times have I told you that the third uncle treats the third aunt very well. It's the third aunt, who doesn't care about laundry and cooking, and always bullies your granddaughter. When I see the third aunt later, grandma must mention her a thing or two! ”
"Something that doesn't care."
Mrs. Lin scolded angrily, and she didn't know whether she was scolding her grandson or her little girl. Lin Jian decided that it was not talking about himself, and reached out to lead the horse. Uncle Lin stopped: "Don't panic, do you know these two?" ”
Lin Jian naturally didn't know him, but only listened to the honest man introduce himself: "Child, the old boy of our family, his name is Qiao Zengzhi, he said that he is studying in Nanhu Academy." We asked all the way, and this is it, right? ”
"It turned out to be Senior Brother Qiao, he was here. Come in with me, and I will call him for you." ”
"Whoa! Thank you then, kid. ”
Lin Jian turned around, and heard the woman sneer at the old man: "What a child! Didn't you hear him call us junior brothers? If you call him Zhizi, his senior brother, it would be fine. ”
The carpenter felt that such a hard set was almost as good as his own name. But he has been pressed by his wife all his life, and it has become a habit and he is silent. The Lin family, who was walking in front, just didn't hear it. If they don't hear it, some people can't do it.
"Where did this villager come from, how can he enter the academy?"
A group of people appeared in front of the door that had not yet been completed, and let out a lot of nonsense. Lin Jian turned around and saw that it was Professor Wu's family from Runing Mansion, so he immediately stepped forward and bowed his hand.
Professor Wu's most popular professor of Runing Fuxue is not in the management of Fuxue, but in the management of no less than 50 academies. In the past ten years in Runing, there have been no less than 100 new private schools in various places, and there are 23 academies with names, which Professor Wu has recorded.
Nanhu Academy is one of them, a very interesting one.
Professor Fuxue, to put it bluntly, is not a big person. A academy like Zhongtian Academy doesn't need to befriend him; The small academy is a stammer, and it can't be tied to him. In short, it's a very frustrating position. Nanhu Academy is different, big and small, and the Wu family has not been left behind. Yes, although Nanhu Academy has not openly recruited apprentices, Professor Wu has not taken much care of it.
The reason is very simple, the six students registered in Nanhu Academy are all Xiucai. Nanhu Academy is looking for high-quality students, can't it?
However, Nanhu Academy will not be able to do this in the future.
After visiting Fu Shanchang, Professor Wu directly said his intentions: "With the momentum of exploring flowers, the prefect means that all registered academies must openly recruit apprentices every year. There is no limit to the number of students enrolled, but it must be recruited to create an atmosphere of learning in Runing. ”
Among the female dependents, Mrs. Wu also conveyed the news. Dad is still sick now, the senior brother has his own business, and the second senior brother doesn't know when he will come back - counting around, Fu Zhenyu found that her opportunity had come.
