There was still a while before dinner, Fu Zhenyu stepped forward with his younger brother of the leather monkey, and the family talked together, Fu Zhenyu asked Fu Shanchang: "Is Dad's body fine?" ”

Fu Shan bowed his head and said, "What Dr. Qiu means is that it will be raised for another year and a half." ”

In other words, if he returned at the end of this year, Fu Zhenyu looked at Fu's mother with his eyes. Fu's mother was puzzled and asked directly: "What do you think I do?" ”

Fu Zhenyu reminded her: "My grandmother is very worried about my mother. ”

Mother Fu choked for a moment and said, "She is more worried about her grandson." How many can go to my mother's house like me? It's just that if you're not here for the past two years, what's the matter? Besides, didn't you just say that small businesses have made a lot of progress this year? Is this the day that can be in Runing? ”

Fu Zhenyu grasped the essence and asked: "Mother's favorite is the rich days of the guest Ran family, right?" ”

Fu Mu felt that there was nothing difficult to admit, because she said: "So what? Although we live in Ran's house, we take care of our own gold and silver, so that the people of their family, who are in our courtyard, we also pay a monthly money. The rest is to live in someone's house, which is not for nothing, your father went to the Ran clan to learn and lecture in the capital, and he has never received money. ”

Leave your own academy alone and come to teach at someone else's home? Fu Zhenyu looked at Fu Shanchang with a strange gaze. Fu Shanchang coughed and said, "Idle is also idle, and I don't work too hard, so I can do it." ”

I felt that Fu Zhenyu, whose parents had grown up, had a pain in his head again.

This pair of parents is really different from her former parents. Sighing, Fu Zhenyu asked Fu Shanchang and his wife: "Dad, mother, how much silver did you use last year, have you ever calculated?" ”

Fu Zhenyu wanted to avoid his younger brother from talking about this, but when he saw that his parents were unconscious, and his younger brother would follow his parents in the future, it would not be good, so he said it directly.

Fu Shanchang didn't care about the accounts, so he naturally didn't know, so he looked at Fu's mother.

The money was brought from home, and the person in charge of the accounts was Cang Zijian, and his own daughter was shrewd, so Fu's mother didn't know how to hide it, so she had to say: "More than five thousand taels." ”

Fu Zhenyu asked again: "How much did my father use to see a doctor and take medicine?" ”

How could Mother Fu have counted this? Naturally, I can't answer.

Fu Zhenyu didn't expect her to answer, so he said: "Nanhu Academy now has forty students, seven servants, and five helpers. From July to December last year, I spent 2,000 taels in half a year. This includes the money for the rebuilding of the premises. The daughter is not unfilial, and if she doesn't say anything else, let's just say that the Ran family is what it looks like now, and that is not the achievement of a generation. We are all more frugal, and when the small businessman reads out, the whole family works together to make the Fu family the Ran family of Runing, isn't it better? ”

Soft words, heart-wrenching yearning.

The Fu family, with their efforts, become a family like the Ran family? Why does this kind of thing sound so dreamy? But how can it come out of my daughter's mouth so naturally?

Fu Shanchang and his wife looked at each other.

Like Lin Jian, they all have their own limitations. Fu Shanchang was attached to his elders and family, and he had to study quietly, thinking that it was already good to be a figure like the patriarch; Fu's mother's cognition is even shallower, she just wants to marry a scholar. Now not only married, but also a lady, can live in Suzhou Hao, is already very satisfied.

Swallowing her saliva, Fu's mother looked at her son who was driven by her daughter, and asked her daughter: "So, you were very strict with Xiaoshang from the beginning, just because you want him to surpass your father, become a jinshi, and then become a big official, and glorify the lintel?" ”

Fu Zhenyu bowed his head and said: "Small businessmen have this ability, but it's harder, why don't you do it?" But if it is said that it is hard, who is not bitter? But that's all there is to it, and if you are used to it, you won't feel bitter. In the future, he will not enter the court, and he will not achieve nothing. On the contrary, it is a child who has always grown up lightly, and he can't stand a little hardship. ”

Fu Shanchang and his wife didn't speak, Fu Zhenshang was different, and the bear child directly revealed his sister's shortcomings: "Sister is saying that you have to start taking bitter medicine, and then you won't be afraid of bitterness?" ”

The big fist of the steamed bun immediately floated towards Fu Zhenshang. Fu Zhenshang deftly dodged and sighed for Fu Zhenyu: "It's a pity, sister, you can't beat me." ”

Fu Zhenyu retracted his fist and sneered: "I can't fight, and there is a senior brother!" When I go back, I will tell my senior brother that you want me to take bitter medicine. ”

Fu Zhenshang immediately deflated, and then said happily: "Sister, do you still want to know about the Ran clan?" ”

And what's going on? Fu Shanchang looked at his daughter suspiciously.

Fu Zhenyu said: "I see that Xiaoshang has made a lot of progress and his basic skills are also solid, so I want to know how to learn from this Ran clan, and I want to learn a thing or two." Since my father also teaches there, tell me that is. ”

"Huh?"

Fu Shanchang was quite embarrassed to turn his face, why didn't he think of this thing? It's never too late to think about it. With such a point of view, Fu Shanchang thought seriously for a long time, and finally gave up and said, "When I go, it is no different from teaching you a few senior brothers at home. As for the side, you ask your brother. ”

Fu Zhenshang immediately raised his voice and said, "Ask me what to do, isn't Sister Ming'er here?" Dad is going to go to the clan school, let my sister wear the old clothes, and let's go and see together. ”

In the past, I wore Confucian clothes, and women dressed as men. Fu Zhenyu didn't have much of an opinion, but Fu Zhenyu kept letting her go, this kid must have some bad idea. Opening a academy is a serious matter, and Fu Shanchang has no opinion.

"When we eat for a while, I will mention it to Brother Ran, if it is possible, so it will be decided."

The Ran clan is in the front yard of the Ran family's long house, not in this Ran Jiuye's house.

While talking, the maid said: "The ninth master invites Master Fu to eat." ”

The Ran and Fu families officially met.

Ran Jiuye and the ninth wife Wang, leading three sons and two daughters, are waiting for the Fu family in their entirety.

Ran Jiuye's eldest daughter is married, and the remaining children are younger than Fu Zhenyu. The eldest son is only one year younger than Fu Zhenyu, and the two daughters who are now here are both concubines. Fu Zhenyu greeted everyone with a smile under the introduction of his parents. Not overly warm-hearted, and not distant-free from anyone. Wang took Fu Zhenyu's hand and praised and praised.

If it weren't for the fact that Ran Da had already made a marriage, Fu Zhenyu would have had to suspect one or two.

But it's not a kiss, with her mother's communication skills and his father's knowledge, it always feels wrong to get such enthusiasm from the Ran family.

The meal was eaten politely, and Wang even humbled himself: "Listen to your mother, your cooking skills are very good." Next time we come and stay a little longer and let us try your hand at it too. ”

As for this time, it is naturally inconvenient.

Is there a next time not necessarily, Fu Zhenyu naturally smiled.

After the meal, Fu Shanchang proposed to take his daughter to see the Ran clan tomorrow and learn about it, Ran Jiuye not only responded, but also said that he would also go with him, and he looked like he had nothing to do. After going back, Fu Zhenyu had to ask what Ran Jiuye did.

Fu Shanchang replied: "I used to keep filial piety, until the township test that Tongqing participated in in the sixth year, when I was the sixth place in Nanzhili, and now I am still studying, ready to end next year." ”

is really a leisurely scholar with a family, a job and hope, this state, talking about her mother, is her father, and she also yearns for it, right? Thinking so, Fu Zhenyu looked at Fu Shanchang.

Fu Shanchang's eyes were full of yearning.
