Chapter 462 Visiting the Yu Family
Mr. Yu's home is not far from the college.
Mr. and Mrs. Yuan Dashuo led the children to the door, but the guests did not come because they came early.
It's just their family.
It was his daughter-in-law Zhao who came to open the door, and when she saw this, she quickly welcomed them in with a smile.
"In the past, I thought you were a smart child, and I thought it was a pity that you didn't study, but now it's good, it's another achievement, and we feel gratified..."
Zhao smiled with emotion.
She also saw Yuan Dashuo when he was studying in the academy in the past, and he was impressed because of his good grades, not to mention that he was sensible since he was a child and often came to help.
It's just that after he stopped studying, Ge didn't let him run here anymore, so he rarely came over.
Yuan Dashuo just smiled when he heard this: "Thanks to the care of Mr. and Shi Niang in those years. ”
Zhao shook his head with a smile, and then said, "Several of your children also teach well..."
followed by all kinds of praise for Yuanwu, and said that when Mr. Yu was at home, he also praised the three children for their hard work, learning and progress, and doing their homework beautifully.
Mr. Yu is a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, and he rarely praises people in the academy.
Yuanwu Yuanxiu and Yuancheng were very surprised when they heard it, but at the same time they felt very happy to be praised.
So when I saw Mr. Yu, several children were smiling, looking at their youthful appearance, it also made people feel slightly moved in their hearts, strange and emotional.
Mr. Yu cleared his throat before saying, "Can you do the homework given to you?" ”
Yuan Wu Yuanxiu and Yuan Cheng saw him first salute neatly, and then agreed: "Mr. Hui's words are all done, and I brought them over today." ”
Yuan Xiu naturally nodded in agreement.
Mr. Yu saw that the children were confident and knew that the last homework was also done beautifully, he bowed his head slightly to express satisfaction, and then took them into the study.
Hearing this, Zhao whispered and laughed at them: "It's just holding it, don't mention how happy it is in my heart..."
Yuan Dashuo and his wife were still nervous, but they also smiled slightly when they heard the words, and they were much more relaxed.
Yuan Man followed and looked at this small courtyard, and the flavor of the New Year was also full here.
In addition to the Spring Festival couplets, there are also paper-cuts, and the entire small yard is also clean.
It's just that there is no one else except the couple.
The children of the two of them also went out to prepare for the exam like Tang Hong, the difference is that he has more entanglements on his body than Tang Hong at that time, in the end, because Mr. Yu has more money.
Here, it is really difficult for peasant families to take the imperial examination, not to mention knowledge, but also money.
Even if you have money, you have to have time to consume, and you don't know when you can come back, so there are only couples in this courtyard for the New Year.
Zhao likes to have guests come to his door.
Mr. Yu went to take the homework of Yuanwu's children, and Yuan Dashuo and Yuan Man sat down in the hall with Zhao, chatting and waiting.
Yuan Dashuo is no stranger to the Zhao family, and he can still say two sentences.
Wen's is also available.
She's just mild-mannered, and she's not the kind of person who can't speak.
Zhao and the couple had a good conversation.
Yuan Man, this little girl, is good-looking and ingenious, and the more Zhao looks at it, the more he likes it.
But I didn't ask her much why she didn't come to school.
I just asked them if the children were going to go to school in the town in the future.
Yuan Dashuo nodded and smiled: "Yes, the academy has asked someone to find it, and I will report on the sixteenth day of the first month." ”
Zhao Shi was also relieved when he heard this: "This relationship is good, it's good to learn more things..."
There are a lot of things that can be learned in the good colleges in the town, such as archery, martial arts, painting, playing the piano, and so on.
Yuan Dashuo also said that he must train a few children to study.
Zhao also smiled when he heard this: "You two are really capable, these four children, they have to provide for a lot of money, you are really willing!" ”
Not to mention other interest subjects, that is, the cost of paper, ink and pen for reading, as well as ordinary books, not to mention the cultivation of sentiment when children grow up to go in and out of various poetry clubs run by literati, which is a lot of money.
Why do peasant families study for the imperial examination, isn't it just to turn over and live a good life?
Now the Yuan family doesn't know how much better life is, not only do they not indulge their children, but they want to increase their ability to cultivate them, which is enough to prove that their vision is worthy of their achievements.
With such a vision, Zhao felt that it was not strange for their family to make a fortune.
When Mr. Yu came back with Yuan Wu and them, he found that Zhao and Yuan Dashuo and his wife were chatting happily, so they also came over to sit and listen, chatting from time to time.
Seeing Mr. Yu coming, Zhao hurriedly went to the hot dish to entertain them.
I came early in the morning on the first day of the new year to pay New Year's greetings, and I should have invited them to have a meal.
Yuan Dashuo and his wife didn't stop him.
Zhao also said angrily when he saw the New Year's gifts piled aside: "What are people doing with so many things?" ”
Having said that, my heart was still too happy, and my face was full of smiles.
Yuan Dashuo and his wife naturally hurriedly said: "This is the way it should be for the New Year, the etiquette must be done, and besides, our children usually bother you to bother." ”
Zhao just smiled freely and said, "That's Yuanwu's children!" It's not as good as teaching other children to your children, and they have to work their own..."
After she finished speaking, she told them to wait, and they had to eat such a meal today no matter what.
Yuan Dashuo and his wife naturally agreed with a smile.
Mr. Yu did not refute his daughter-in-law's words, and he was accustomed to them taking so many things to the door, after all, there were usually many students who sent things from their homes.
So they talked, and he didn't interject.
just glanced at Yuanman's cleverness, and beckoned her to come towards him.
Motoman blinked strangely, then got up and leaned over curiously.
Her father and mother are here, and she is not afraid of anything.
In the end, Mr. Yu just stuffed a red envelope in her pocket, which provoked Yuan Dashuo and his wife to say bluntly: "You are too polite..."
Yuan Mitsuya said solemnly: "Thank you, sir." ”
Mr. Yu just waved his hand domineeringly, and asked about other things about Yuan Dashuo.
Facing the elders with straight faces, Yuan Dashuo and his wife couldn't help but sit upright.
Yuan Man thought it was funny when he looked at it.
Sure enough, I am afraid of teachers, and this kind of thing exists no matter how old or young I am.
Looking at her older siblings and younger brothers, you can see that they are nervous.
Yuan Man is used to being lazy.
So I didn't feel any strange feelings, and An An stayed and listened to their small talk.
Mr. Yu also said that a few children need to write if they want to go to school in the town.
After all, it is a serious college, not a patchwork primary school in the village.
Then some rules have to be in place.
It's like a good word.
Yuan Dashuo said that it was enough to ask Mr. Yu to come up, after all, the couple didn't know what to do.
Thinking about the fact that the Yuan family has a farm with a large range, and there are so many cooperation in the dried vegetable business, they are really not small traders, and they can gain a firm foothold in the town.
Therefore, the children should also have a formal word, otherwise it will be difficult for the children to integrate into the life of the town.
