"Sister-in-law, uncle, why are you here? What's the matter? ”

Zhao Yan subconsciously didn't let people in, although there were too many unsatisfactory things in that family, but the sister-in-law and uncle were good to them.

Uncle is a scholar, usually either in the academy or in his room to read, and when he meets at home, he just says hello, and he rarely talks. I didn't get into Xiucai after taking the exam a few times, and I became even more reticent.

The sister-in-law is the same age as them, and when she was a child, her aunt and nephew played together, and when they were older, they were separated, and they were embroidered in the house by the milk ring. A little delicious food will also be secretly left to the niece, which is a rare warm existence in that family.

"What's the matter, it's okay and you're not allowed to enter the door? My little brother and I came to see my sister-in-law", Zhao Shufang looked at the niece in front of her and said softly.

"Then come in, my mother is much better"

Zhao Shufang and Zhao Shulin didn't speak anymore, and followed Zhao Yan into the small courtyard together.

I haven't been here for a while, and I found that the small courtyard has become cleaner, and there is still a horse tied under the pear tree.

When I came to the house, I didn't have the usual oil lamps, but lit candles. This is very luxurious in the countryside, and naturally it is much brighter. The furnishings in the house have not changed, only a small stove outside the house, and the soup is still boiling.

Zheng Shi, who was leaning on the hospital bed, was wearing a white middle coat, and the complexion on his face had recovered well, and there was still a little blood. The smiling eyes are vaguely bright, and there is no foul smell from the patients in the house, it seems that the nieces are taking good care of them.

"Woods, trees, you are here".

Zheng greeted politely, opened his mouth, and suddenly realized that he couldn't say anything.

The daughter here, the husband and son over there, the original family, is now like fire and water, no matter how you say it, it's better not to say it.

"Well, my brother and I just came to see my sister-in-law, is the injury better?"

Zhao Shufang is also conflicted in her heart, one is the eldest brother, the other is the sister-in-law, and there is a niece, who do you persuade?

Persuade the eldest brother? My arm is injured, and now I am lying on the bed, I won't give in, and I can't persuade you.

Persuade sister-in-law? Looking at the posture of the niece, can you watch the mother go back and suffer? How can it be? Otherwise, it won't be on the stick, and you can't be persuaded.

Forget it, it's a family matter anyway, let's talk about it when the injury heals.

Before entering this house, I also considered the current situation, and said directly to my sister-in-law:

"Sister-in-law, I don't participate in the matter between you and my eldest brother, I don't participate in my sister's affairs, I just came to see you, and the third brother is the same, right? Third brother? ”

Zhao Shulin, who has never had a sense of existence, also said in the back: "Yes", just one word.

The brother and sister were anxious to take a stand when they entered the door, and they were also afraid of being misunderstood, representing the old house.

"I'm much better, thank you Shufang, I haven't gotten out of bed for the past two days, and the food is brought by the children", hearing the words of the brother and sister, Zheng also relaxed and smiled.

"That's good, sister-in-law, you have a good rest, I'll take care of you just now, if you miss him, I'll bring it over to you when I'm free."

"Okay, it's really troublesome Shufang, wait for you to be free", how to say it, it's also a mother, thinking about it is always children, Zhao Gang, who is only two years old, doesn't say it, but he misses it in his heart.

"Where's Juanzi? I'm looking for something with her."

"In the kitchen, if you don't eat, if you don't eat, let's eat together in a while, and Juanzi will go to cook."

"Then I'll go to the kitchen, third brother, you accompany your sister-in-law here."

Zhao Shufang said to the little brother, turned around and walked out of the east house, leaving the sister-in-law and brother-in-law who were staring at each other with big eyes, which was even more embarrassing.

In the kitchen, Du Jun and Zhao Xiu were still busy cooking, Zhao Shufang probed and said:

"Juanzi, I have something to discuss with you, come out"

Looking for me?

"Well, wait a minute, I'll come out", explaining the work in hand, Du Jun came out to see her sister-in-law.

The night before yesterday was messy, and now Zhao Shufang, who was standing in front of him, Du Jun looked at it carefully, his appearance was average, his eyes were clear, and he was the same as in his impression, he was a person who could make friends.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Du Jun asked.

"Let me declare first, if you don't get involved in the matter between you, no one will help, I just said this to my sister-in-law in the house, come here today, one is to see my sister-in-law, and the other is to be a lobbyist for my little brother."

As soon as Zhao Shufang heard Du Jun's tone, he hurriedly said the purpose of this, which caused misunderstanding.

"Huh?"

Thinking about it carefully, there is basically no such person in the original owner's mind, but he just knows that he is studying, he didn't get in, and then he ...... Nope.

What is the matter with such a person? It won't be another trouble, right? Du Jun couldn't help but speculate maliciously like this, mainly because the impression of the Zhao family's old mansion was too stereotypical, and the Zhao family was in trouble.

"Aren't you looking for someone to learn to read? My little brother can teach, he has been studying for 14 years, except for bad luck, he didn't get into Xiucai, it's no problem to teach you to read."

"Did he tell you to come to me? Did he want to come or did someone from your side ask him to come? ”

"It was the little brother who heard about this and wanted to come by himself, it has nothing to do with my family. He doesn't know how to speak, and I'm afraid that you will misunderstand, so that's why I asked me to tell you."

"Then I have a few questions to ask him face-to-face, bring him over, I'll take a look first, say it first, I don't need it if it's inappropriate."

"Then you wait, I'll call him"

After a while, a tall and thin young man stood in front of Du Jun

"I also told Shufang just now, a few questions, you also know my relationship with the old mansion, you come to my side, I won't treat you as an uncle, just sir, do you agree?"

"Yes"

"Do you want to do it yourself, or do you want you to do it from the old mansion?"

"I want to do it myself, no one forced me to come"

"What if someone on the other side of the old mansion won't let you come?"

"I'm going to figure it out"

"Why did you choose to teach me?"

"Because I can teach, and I can teach well"

This man cherishes words like gold, can he die if he talks more? But sister, I like it, haha.

"Two taels of silver a month, two students, me and Zhao Jia, is there a problem?"

"Nope"

"Then add two more students, Zhao Yan and Zhao Xiu, four taels a month."

"It's still two taels, they don't charge"

"When does it start?"

"Anytime"

"Then wait for me for two days and go to Anxian County to buy some pen, ink, paper and inkstone"

"Row"

"Ready to notify you"

"Good"

Du Jun suddenly found that he had nothing to say, and it was not a good thing to be too concise. But I finally found someone to teach.

The Shufang brothers and sisters didn't stay to eat, they left after a while, and after dinner, Aunt Liu next door also told Du Jun a good news and found a groom who taught Du Jun to drive a carriage. is also from the village, called Zhao Dazhuang.

Double happiness came to the door, Du Jun touched his wet hair, and decided to go to Anxian tomorrow.
