Chapter Eighty-Four: Loneliness in the Elderly
"You should know their traits and habits, right?" Chang Le found that they didn't believe and asked rhetorically.
Huai Wang smiled and acquiesced.
Li Zhuo said: "I have seen descriptions in some miscellaneous books, but I have not actually touched them. ”
"yes, I didn't see it from miscellaneous books?" Chang Le clapped his hands, and his left shoulder hurt again, so he hurriedly stopped his steps, closed his eyes and digested the sourness.
King Huai was helpless: "Even if you find an excuse, don't be so excited." ”
Chang Le opened his eyes and glanced at him, annoyed that he couldn't see through it without saying it, in order to hide her embarrassment, she had to quibble: "Who said I was looking for an excuse?" ”
"Isn't it because Mrs. Taishou doesn't know how to read and ink that she let this official come here?" Li Zhuo also kept up with King Huai's efforts to pierce the truth.
Chang Le sank and decided that he couldn't let his image be so unbearable: "I still know a few words, and I'm not so illiterate." ”
"Li made a mistake, Mrs. Taishou forgive me." Li Zhuo was not in a hurry and apologized in time.
Chang Le waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's because I'm usually too low-key." ”
King Huai chuckled, amused by her.
……
All the way to the east courtyard, a few little beggars under Pidaner were making trouble with the officials.
One of the two bachelors arranged by Li Zhuo is trying to persuade him.
"What for?" Changle roared out in displeasure.
King Huai glanced at her in surprise. Li Zhuo has become accustomed to the stern Chang Le.
The people in the east courtyard all looked at it.
"We're going to see Brother Pidan!" The troublesome beggar boy explained his purpose to Chang Le from afar.
Chang Le stepped in, and the officials and scholars avoided her one after another, saluting King Huai and the county history.
"Madam, madam, let's go see Brother Pidaner!" One of the beggars was about to take her arm, but the wit remembered that she had beaten her for the preserved egg, and immediately squatted down and hugged her thigh.
The others also circled her lap and stared at her pitifully.
They are the younger brother of Pidan'er, and Mrs. Taishou helped Pidan'er, which means that she is kind to them. Although they are muddy, they are righteous and know that they should be polite and flattering to their benefactors.
Chang Le couldn't stand this battle for a while. This group of mudheads, when they rarely ask her, they can't be like an uncle on weekdays. I learned from the preserved eggs, it was a full look!
"Good lady, how are you doing~"
The muddy heads suddenly became coquettish, holding Changle and not letting go.
Chang Le was dizzy, and hurriedly said: "It's okay to promise you, and you have to promise me a condition." ”
The heads looked at each other, and immediately smiled and agreed: "What is what Madame says." ”
It's really a bunch of preserved eggs!
"From today onwards, you will begin to read and learn to paint with you, if you are not interested, you will learn pottery and woodworking, and if you can't do it, you will learn something else, and within three days, find what you want to learn and do."
Chang Le returned to his original state of enthusiasm, bent on pulling them back to the right path.
She firmly believes that no one is a waste, they just didn't find the right location, and now she just wants to help them find the right place. As for the follow-up, let's take it one step at a time.
When those huddlers heard that they had to learn a bunch of things, they immediately retreated. They just want to mess around, and they don't want to do things that are boring to look at.
"The butt of the preserved eggs has been beaten." Chang Le said slowly with great grief, "Now in the West Courtyard, there is no one to take care of ......."
"Madam, we promise, let us go and see Brother Pidan'er."
Chang Le was delighted: "Trouble Bachelor Kang and Bachelor Lang, help write a few contracts." You have to sign for your words and deeds, and you have to be held accountable. ”
The crowd frowned, thinking that the preserved eggs were still suffering and no one took care of them, so they could only grit their teeth and agree.
"It's still Madame who is powerful, and she has subdued them again." Liu San was happy to clap his hands.
In King Huai's eyes, Chang Le is like a fascinating book, staying with her, you can always turn to a wonderful page, and look forward to the content later. Her every move is so dazzling.
Liu Chengyan's vision is indeed not bad, and he has made such a friend, so he is also fortunate to be able to see it.
"Change them, but not limited to a path of study, the insight is indeed extraordinary."
Li Zhuo deeply agreed: "Not only that, but Mrs. Taishou's methods of educating people are also very different. If King Huai has time, he can come and see it from time to time. ”
This remark aroused the great interest of King Huai, but he was not so surprised. King Huai has long known in his heart that Changle never acts in the same way.
However, he still wants to see how it is different.
While speaking, Chang Le had already sent the group of mudheads and asked them to go to the two bachelors to guard, and when they signed the contract, they could let the officials take them to see the preserved eggs.
Chang Le Jing went to King Huai'er, became the host, and proudly introduced everything here: "Today, there are twenty-seven beggars here, from fifteen to four. At present, except for the preserved eggs and the five prickly heads just now, the other children are learning ......"
King Huai listened carefully to her, and followed her to know every beggar boy. When Chang Le talked about beggar boys, he had a very short comment on everyone, and he smiled lovingly. King Huai watched quietly, only to feel that the bottom of his heart also melted, turning into tenderness between his eyebrows and eyes.
I looked at the temporary school, which was clean and tidy; I looked at their daily course arrangement, arithmetic, primary school, painting, miscellaneous talk, and physical fitness, which were extremely rich; The results of the learning were shallow, but effective.
"It's a pity that they can only stay for a while, and they only understand what they have learned." Chang Le stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the beggar boys running back and forth inside, unable to stop feeling sad and powerless, "It's difficult to shelter the world's poor people!" ”
"There are thousands of beggar children in the world, and one after another is saved, and it is impossible to save it. These are fates. King Huai was relieved. He didn't like to see the sorrow between her brows.
Chang Le blinked his eyes and smiled reluctantly: "Yes, the most difficult thing in the world to treat is the poor disease." Unless you rely on yourself, the help of others is only temporary, and you can't cut off the roots. However, if we meet, can we help, just help? ”
Faced with Chang Le's sudden turn of words, King Huai ignored the cunning in her eyes, and said in a comfortable mood: "What do you mean by this? ”
"King Huai is alone now, isn't it quite lonely to retire? It's better to take out a little bit and raise a few children. ”
King Huai knew that her cheekiness couldn't say anything good, so he smiled and shook his fan gracefully: "In order not to be lonely, this king is saving money to marry a daughter-in-law." ”
Chang Le squinted: "How much can it cost to marry a daughter-in-law?" ”
King Huai glanced at the beggar boy who was far away, covered his face with a fan, and leaned slightly to Chang Le's side: "The girl in the building costs two thousand taels a night, and Mrs. Taishou thinks how cheap it can be to marry a daughter-in-law?" ”
What a copper smell of money!
Chang Le's face sank, glanced at King Huai, and couldn't help but scold: "Losers! ”
Liu San and Li Zhuo next to them heard it and almost knelt down in fright. Seeing that King Huai was still smiling in the spring breeze, he was a little less flustered, and sighed again at the boldness of Mrs. Taishou and the generosity of King Huai.
"Yes, this king has been defeated, and this is the most important thing." King Huai knew Chang Le's hatred of the rich, and was determined to use money to crush her to death.
No matter how articulate you are, you can't help that this king is rich.
Chang Le took a deep breath, turned his head and issued an eviction order: "King Huai, it's not too early at this time, let's go around the museum building earlier, don't let those girls wait in a hurry!" It just so happened that I was also tired and wanted to go back to the house to rest. ”
King Huai pursed his lips and smiled: "What Mrs. Taishou said is very true, it just so happens that this king still has an appointment with Miss Rushuang tonight, and it is inconvenient to make an appointment late, so he will take the first step." ”
Like frost, the Oiran of the Wind and Snow Building. The great beauty in the mouth of King Huai.
Chang Le wanted to see it.
"Ma'am, rest early."
King Huai was very satisfied with her envy, and happily shook his fan and left the east courtyard.
Li Zhuo took Chang Le to send King Huai out of the house. The two scholars also showed the written contract to Chang Le.
Chang Le glanced at her sullenly, and the dense traditional Chinese characters were dizzy when she looked at her, so he asked the bachelor to read it to her.
As a result, the words were crepe, and Chang Le had a headache listening to it, so he asked the bachelor to translate it in simple words.
The bachelor secretly sighed that Chang Le was really a peasant girl who didn't know how to read and ink, and took the trouble to explain it again, which was what Chang Le meant before.
After this toss, the contract was finalized and asked the heads to sign and pledge. The gangsters can't write their names, so Chang Le is stunned to let them learn on the spot.
"You can write anything, but you must be able to write your own name!" Chang Le said.
Although, she also doesn't write her name with a brush.
In order to set an example, she should also learn it secretly.
……
In the next few days, Chang Le never returned to his home, and lived directly in Yamen. Shili also ran over from Taishou Mansion to take care of her.
When she thought she was getting rid of the wedding feast, Aunt Rong shattered her illusions. Aunt Rong is very responsible, and comes to the yamen every night to explain the progress of the wedding banquet to her and discuss the next things.
What should be done, Chang Le still hasn't been left behind.
Not only did Changle not go back, but Zhang Changxiu rarely went back to sleep at home. Basically, passing by during the day, going in and looking; I went back to accompany Hua Shi for a few hours at night, put her to sleep, and went to sleep in the yamen again.
However, I slept in the side compartment of the main courtyard.
After such a repetition, Hua was naturally angry, but there was nowhere to vent.
Living in the same courtyard with Zhang Changxiu, he doesn't look up and look down every day, and he can't hide, Changle is very distressed.
After bumping, the daily routine is-
Chang Le smiled awkwardly: "Morning." ”
Zhang Changxiu's face was expressionless: "Hmm." ”
Chang Le slipped away: "I hope you can catch the murderer today, I'll go to the East Courtyard." ”
Zhang Changxiu was still expressionless: "Hmm." ”
And then it was evening.
Chang Le continued to laugh awkwardly: "Is it still no result today?" ”
Zhang Changxiu was still expressionless: "Hmm." ”
Chang Le wanted to cry without tears, and reluctantly said: "Then go to bed early, good night." ”
Zhang Changxiu, as always: "Hmm." ”
In this way, the cycle repeats, and Changle is numb to despair.
In addition to dealing with Zhang Changxiu, she also has to deal with King Huai's unserious pension prince.
In the name of watching beggar children, King Huai often went in and out of the back of the yamen openly, and let Changle accompany him openly.
But Changle was too busy with classes and resolving children's disputes to deal with him. On the contrary, seeing that he was in the way, he simply let him be an assistant teacher when there were not enough people.
