Chapter 53: There's a loophole
The woman was the first to come to the academy to ask, and Qian Wenju's most urgent thought was: What kind of restraint do you mention, as long as your children sign up, I can post the silver! However, his junior sister has sternly stated that from now on, there will be no free teaching in Nanhu Academy. He just made a mistake of his tongue, and if he can't control his mouth at this time, his sister will definitely starve him a few times.
It's terrible to look at the feeling that you can't eat something delicious.
Resisting the urge to keep people, Qian Wenju carefully prepared his language, and asked cautiously: "Where is your home?" ā
The woman obviously didn't expect to be asked such a question, and she was stunned for a moment, and she said truthfully: "We are from Yaolou in Shangcai County." ā
As a foreigner, Qian Wenju didn't know Yao Lou, and Shang Cai still knew. Therefore, he sincerely advised the woman: "To go to Shangcai, it will take a whole day to walk each way." Shangcai also has a academy, you send your children to study there, how much is the restraint said, the children can often go home, the money and rations in the school, you can save a lot, why don't you send your children there? ā
The woman said calmly: "My man is gone, and the family is a little more difficult." Shangcai's academy is expensive, I heard that there are many of our Runing Academy, so I will take advantage of this time to take a look around. If it's cheaper here, I'll go to Ruyang City to do odd jobs. Uh, or do you not accept children from other counties? ā
"No, no, absolutely not." When Qian Wenju heard this, he decided to help the woman. After thinking about it, he asked the woman, "Where is your child?" ā
The woman said, "There is a pig in the house, and he stays at home to feed the pigs." ā
Qian Wenju asked, "How old is he?" How many years have you been in private school? The academy does not accept children who don't even know a word. ā
When the woman heard this, she hurriedly said, "My son is twelve years old, and he has been in private school for three years, and his father has been going to school for the past few years, and he has been memorizing the things he has learned at home. Carry it when chopping wood, carry it when feeding pigs, but seriously. Every time he carried it, the child was smiling. The family is so poor, if the child doesn't really like it, I can't look for a college everywhere, right? ā
Qian Wenju followed the woman's words, thinking of the picture of the young man happily endorsing while doing housework in front of the dilapidated house, and he felt it: "Yes! Such a good child should continue to study. I can't make decisions about the affairs of the college. It's getting late today, and you can't go back. So, if you wait a little longer, when the ruler returns, I will give you an explanation. ā
The woman said cheerfully, "Cheng, I'll wait." ā
Qian Wenju invited her to sit inside, and talked to her about homely things: "Sister-in-law arrived at the academy now, it only takes half a day to get here with Yao Lou?" ā
The woman said aloud, "How can it? It takes five or six hours. I arrived last night, and I asked about the academy in the city at noon today. As a result, people didn't say how many bundles there were, and directly said that they wouldn't recruit people. A kind person showed me the way, saying that there was a Nanhu Academy two miles outside the city and might ask for someone, so I rushed over. ā
When Fu Zhenyu heard this, he intuitively gave advice to that person, which was not a good intention.
Gu Yongyan endured it for a long time, and when he saw that Fu Zhenyu finally reacted, he spoke up: "Since there is a problem, why don't you go in?" ā
When Qian Wenju heard an unfamiliar voice, he immediately stood up and asked, "Who is where?" ā
Cang Zijian walked into the gatehouse and took the lead: "The gatekeeper sees the person who doesn't squeak, who else can there be besides us?" Senior Brother Lin and I listened to a few words outside, and the reason why I didn't come in was to see how you handled things. ā
He deliberately accentuated the words "Senior Brother Lin", and Qian Wenju looked behind him, in addition to his junior sister, there was also a young man. Fu Zhenyu coughed and took the opportunity to introduce Gu Yongyan: "Second Senior Brother, this is my newly accepted great disciple of the Mountain, named Gu Yongyan. Yongyan, this is my second senior brother Qian Wenju. ā
Gu Yongyan stepped forward to salute: "Yongyan has seen the second uncle. ā
Qian Wenju was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and then under Cang Zijian's gaze, he came back to his senses, suddenly jumped to his feet, and exaggeratedly exclaimed: "I haven't received the disciple yet, how did you receive it!" ā
Fu Zhenyu was satisfied with his reaction, smiled, pointed at the woman, and said, "Well, doesn't she have one at home?" I agree with you taking the child, but restraint is inevitable. ā
Qian Wenju said heroically: "You and Senior Brother have agreed, I will pay all the expenses of this child!" ā
Cang Zijian frowned and reminded the unconscious junior brother and sister: "What are you anxious about!" Always look at the child first, and then say whether to accept it or not. ā
With this reasoning, Fu Zhenyu looked at the woman, ready to ask her son when he could come over, but he was speechless the moment he turned to the woman. In late summer and early autumn, the weather was dry and dry, but the woman's lips were covered with layers of dry skin, which seemed to be on fire; And the woman's face was dotted with scarlet.
When the woman saw her look at her face, she immediately protected her face and explained, "The little thing on my face is not a disease, it'sā"
"It was bitten by a mosquito." Fu Zhenyu said his guess, and said, "Tomorrow, I will send you back with my second senior brother to see the child by the way." If the child passes the foundation, the college will accept him. ā
Qian Wenju remembered what his junior sister said, because he asked, "Do you want to accept it?" ā
"Close!"
Fu Zhenyu answered simply, stunned everyone, only the woman didn't know why, and she was still concerned about the question she asked when she first came: "How much does it cost?" ā
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll discuss it with your son tomorrow."
The woman was puzzled, but Fu Zhenyu didn't give more explanations, and said to Cang Zijian: "Senior brother, I'll leave the words to you." ā
Gu Yongyan raised her eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?" ā
Fu Zhenyu was puzzled.
Cang Zijian understood, and he explained very naturally: "Senior Brother Lin is my mother's nephew, who lives in the back house, but you want to live in the outer courtyard with us. ā
Gu Yongyan smiled, as if he believed it or not.
Fu Zhenyu, who realized the problem, took the woman with him and fled.
It was only at this time that she realized that it was not a matter of a word for a woman to disguise herself as a man. From the moment she accepted Gu Yongyan, Fu Zhenyu, the daughter of Fu Shanchang, should have gone to Suzhou with her. Fu Zhenyu originally planned to hand over the woman to Aunt Su for arrangement, but because of this belated recognition, she changed the woman to Qingzhu Courtyard. At the same time as knocking on the door, he shouted: "Auntie open the door, it's me, not all." ā
As soon as Li Ting heard this name, she quickly reminded her daughter: "What do you want to call Sister Xiaoyu?" ā
Fang Fang said with a small face: "My mother is wrong, that's not my sister, it's not my cousin." ā
Li Ting put her mind at ease, opened the door, and Fang Fang was the first to call someone.
"Cousin, you're back~" After shouting, Fang Fang began to invite credit, "Mother, I'm very well-behaved, right?" ā
"Yes, you are very well-behaved, let Aunt Su cook something for you at night!" After Fu Zhenyu rushed to answer, he patted Fang Fang's little head, pointed to the woman and introduced to Li Ting, "Auntie, this is Yao Erniang from Cai Yao Building, let her deal with you for a night tonight, you can arrange it." ā
Fu Zhenyu, who said this, had already decided to hand over the affairs of the backyard to Li Ting. Li Ting didn't know this, so she responded: "Don't worry, I will make proper arrangements." ā
After dinner, Fu Zhenyu called Cang Zijian: "Senior brother, I have something to find you later." ā
The sun has set, and it will be the palm lamp in a while. Cang Zijian looked at Fu Zhenyu without any warmth, waiting for her to give herself a reasonable explanation, but saw Fu Zhenyu silently spit out three words, Gu Yongyan.
It turned out to be a show.
Cang Zijian felt that it was unnecessary, because the junior sister would eventually find out about her daughter's body. However, if the junior sister thinks it is funny to act like this, and does not make trouble outside, it doesn't hurt him to indulge in it.
"Don't be too late."
Cang Zijian pretended to agree and said. As a result, after holding the lamp, Fu Zhenyu really came to his yard with a bunch of things.
