Chapter 161: Obstruction of Study
When Lu Caiqing heard this, he felt that this old man was really a strange person, he didn't have a wife and children around him, could it be that he hadn't married a wife for so many years, maybe it was like this, otherwise how could there be only two people to live.
The old man seems to be a local, Yang Yibao temporarily looked for a doorman in the village, an intellectual, in addition to books in the room, it will not provoke thieves to patronize, and Yang Yibao is still a local, and the people of Taojia Village will also protect him, after all, he was the emperor's teacher.
The old man raised his eyes and looked at Song Ziyu and Lu Caiqing and asked, "Which village are you from, and it seems that you are also from a poor family?" ”
Seeing this, Song Zifei said, "Uncle! We are from Chenjia Village, this is my eldest brother Song Ziyu and sister-in-law Lu Caiqing! They came with me to learn from Mrs. Yang. ”
"Oh! Chenjia Village is the village across Li Village! The living conditions are much more difficult than our Taojia Village, how to come here to study, my lord has confiscated a student since he moved here, and he has been driven away, whether it is a few official residences or rich sons and poor children, they will not be accepted, you are afraid that you will return in vain. The old man shook his head, feeling sorry for them.
Lu Caiqing listened, and it was inconvenient to say anything now, so he could only pretend to be powerless to lean on Ziyu, and looked at Song Zifei with a flicker, meaning that you can talk about something to pass the time.
Song Zifei understood what she meant, and continued: Uncle! It's embarrassing for you, in fact, I came to study to reduce the burden on the family, for the dream of the eldest brother and the second brother in the family, the parents died early, and the eldest brother held up the whole family alone, I want the eldest brother to live better than now, so I want to study hard and change my fate, the eldest brother and Sister Caiqing are so good to me, I am afraid that they will be sad if they do not succeed in studying. ”
After speaking, he lowered his head sadly, the old man looked at the honest Song Ziyu, and then looked at the thin Lu Caiqing who was suffering from heat stroke, and when he heard his pitiful life experience, he immediately felt sorry for this fatherless and motherless boy.
"Kid! What have you lived on over the years? The old man asked with concern.
"Uncle!"
"Call me Uncle Wang!"
Song Zifei was stunned for a moment, and then called out Uncle Wang: "You don't know!" Our three brothers of the Song family are not locals of Chenjia Village, the eldest brother took us to hunt for a living, we are not sensible, we can't cook, eat raw meat and sleep in a grass house, and then slowly learn to build a house, we are afraid of being bullied, and have been hiding in the mountains to live a savage life, but bitter! ”
"It's really pitiful, it's really difficult for your eldest brother to take care of your two brothers, and you have to hunt for a living." Uncle Wang said with a sigh.
Song Zifei opened the conversation box and said: "So I want my eldest brother's life to be better, so I have to work hard, determined to improve our lives and reduce the burden on our family. Sister Caiqing's life experience makes us feel distressed, so we came to study to change our fate. ”
Uncle Wang listened and said, "Oh? Is your sister-in-law's background even more pitiful? That's not as good as I said, I heard my master's former teacher say that those who study are some gentlemen, and they don't really want to study at all, they just want to use the master's fame to get promoted and make a fortune, it seems that your family's situation is different. ”
"I heard that my lord used to always say that those who studied were some gentlemen, and they didn't really want to study at all, they just wanted to use the master's fame to get promoted and make a fortune, it seems that your family's situation is different, then talk to me, maybe I can help you say good things." Uncle Wang was infected by Song Zifei's words and said softly.
Song Zifei saw that their life experience moved Uncle Wang, so he went on to repeat Lu Caiqing's life experience, and said that Lu Caiqing also went to visit the Chen family this morning, Uncle Wang just looked at the girl in front of him carefully, and said distressedly: "Silly child! That woman treats you like that, why do you still take care of her and let her fend for herself. ”
Lu Caiqing slowly got up at this time and replied: "Uncle Wang! To be a man, you have to compare your heart with your heart, it was Brother Chen Ming who took me in, and I have what I have today, no matter how Aunt Chen treats me, she is Brother Chen's mother, I want to take care of her, I don't ask her to be kind to me, I just want to have a clear conscience. ”
"Who is speaking in my house? Uncle Wang! Are you bringing people into the hospital again, don't you want to do it anymore? ”
A series of question marks came to mind, and then I saw an old man walking in with a young man of about thirty years old.
Lu Caiqing, Song Ziyu and others slowly stood up, Song Ziyu did not forget to help Lu Caiqing, not pretending but sincerely cherishing her, especially just now Zifei focused on her experience, if it wasn't in the courtyard, he really wanted to hug her into his arms now.
Lu Caiqing carefully looked at the old man walking in front, he was sixty or seventy years old, his eyebrows and beard were gray, he had a hat on his head, but his face was still purple red, he looked radiant, he was holding a fish basket in his hand, walking like flying, wearing a navy blue robe, wearing cloth shoes on his feet, it seemed that he was going fishing.
The man behind him was about thirty years old, with dark skin, sword eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a very handsome man, tall figure, dressed in gray clothes, cloth shoes, holding a fish basket in his left hand and a fishing rod in his right hand.
Yang Yibao's eyes widened angrily, and he walked in angrily and said, "No matter who you are, where are you from, where are you going to go back to me?" Outsiders are not welcome in my house! What are you waiting for? Don't hurry up and send off guests! ”
Uncle Wang was still immersed in the life experience of the three brothers of the Song family and Lu Caiqing and couldn't extricate himself, as soon as he heard that the old man was angry, he hurriedly trotted to Yang Yibao and said, "Master! Don't be angry, her little daughter-in-law just had a heat stroke, so I let them into the courtyard, and my lord caught a lot of fish today, so good luck. ”
Yang Yibao listened, glanced at Lu Caiqing, and seemed to be looking at whether she was really suffering from heat stroke, and Song Ziyu carefully cared for and supported Yang Yibao to relax her vigilance.
"Of course! Your lord and I have this hobby of fishing, and the sunspot pours out the fish and raises it, and then goes fishing tomorrow when it is released. "The old man didn't speak when he heard that it was for the summer.
Lu Caiqing didn't pretend to be sick when he saw it, and took advantage of the old man's hand washing his hands outside, stepped forward and said, "Mr. Yang! We are admired by Chenjiacun, and we know that you are the teacher of the emperor today who is knowledgeable and talented, so I want you to accept my uncle Song Zifei as a student. ”
Yang Yibao frowned when he heard this, and shouted, "Uncle Wang! Didn't you say she was here to escape the heat? Why are you still here to apprentice, how do you do things? ”
"Mr. Yang! Don't blame Uncle Wang, he really did his duty, I fainted, he saw me exposed to the sun, and he couldn't bear to let me into the hospital. Old gentleman! You take a look at my family Zifei first, test his talent and then decide whether to accept it or not! Lu Caiqing said a little anxiously.
Song Zifei took a step closer and bowed to Yang Yibao and said, "Mrs. Yang! Just test me! All my knowledge was given to me by my sister-in-law, you see if I have any materials to make, if I am really stupid, I will leave by myself. ”
"Oh? She's your sister-in-law? If she can teach you, why did she come to me? Yang Yibao asked suspiciously.
Song Zifei listened, looked back at Lu Caiqing, and she hurriedly continued: "The little girl is only shallow in learning, and the knowledge she teaches is not as elegant as the hall, and she is not as good as Mrs. Yang's full stomach." ”
"Don't put a high hat on me, if I say no, I won't accept it, you guys go back quickly! Kuroko send-off! ”
The man named Heizi came out, stretched out his big hand and made a gesture of please, Lu Caiqing wanted to say something, but Uncle Wang's hand shook vigorously underneath, meaning not to say it again.
When Lu Caiqing saw it, he had to take the two out of the courtyard gate, and the sunspot sent the people away, and closed the courtyard gate when he returned.
When Song Ziyu and the three of them came to the old tree, they saw Uncle Wang and Heizi coming out together, Lu Caiqing thought to himself that Uncle Wang took the opportunity to say good things for him, but when he got closer, he realized that Yang Yibao saw that their gifts were still in the courtyard, so he sent the two to deliver things.
Lu Caiqing was happy, and just when Uncle Wang was about to go back, Lu Caiqing said again: "Uncle Wang! Can you lend me a kitchen knife, you see that I can't study and I don't have a stomach, I can't walk hungry, and Mr. Yang doesn't accept the things I brought, and it's troublesome to bring them back, so we'll eat here and go back. ”
When Uncle Wang and Heizi heard this, they felt that there was no special request, just to borrow a kitchen knife, so they went back and talked to Yang Yibao, and he didn't object, so he took out the kitchen knife and went back first.
Song Zifei took the kitchen knife and handed it to Lu Caiqing and asked, "Sister Caiqing!" Our gluten and cold skin are all cut at home, and we can't use kitchen knives, so why borrow kitchen knives? ”
Song Ziyu also looked at her with puzzled eyes, and Lu Caiqing smiled mysteriously: "You don't have to use it if you borrow it!" Our purpose is mainly to let them smell it, but when something is delivered, how can we send it back? Then you will have to trouble Uncle Wang. ”
Song Zifei's eyes suddenly widened and said, "You mean to return the kitchen knife, and then send the cool skin as a thank you gift?" ”
"Wrong! Our target is Yang Yibao, not Uncle Wang, this gluten and cool skin is a new thing, he may not be able to eat it when he says thank you in person, but Uncle Wang is different, he sympathizes with our life experience, we are taken care of by him in the hospital, and it is right to pay tribute to him to eat, he will not refuse, so as long as the cold skin is filial to Uncle Wang, as for smelling the fragrance, whether he eats it depends on whether he can stand the temptation. The more Lu Caiqing spoke, the happier he became.
Song Ziyu suddenly realized, took Lu Caiqing's hand and said, "Little daughter-in-law!" Your head is so good, I was scared half to death by pretending to be heat stroke, and now I'm borrowing kitchen knives, you! You really worked hard to study for Zifei. ”
Lu Caiqing smiled and said, "Brother Song! I know it's not right, but as long as Mr. Yang can accept Zifei as a student, if I tell a little lie, God will pretend not to see it. ”
