Chapter 149: Shichiro's Scholar
Sometimes the pig hair on the pig skin will not fade so clean, Gan Xiaotang often plays in the kitchen, and has seen it, and has also plucked the pig hair with Tang Xiaowen.
"Pig hair is fine and soft." Gan Xiaotang said, "It's not hard at all. ”
"The rabbit's fur is not hard, it is soft to the touch." In the autumn of that year, the rabbits that Gamble gave Gan Shiyi to catch, although the rabbits were matched under Gan Xiaotang's repeated requests, and the rabbits were born endlessly, but in the end, the Gan family did not sell rabbit meat and braised rabbit heads, but sold small rabbits, and the big rabbits gave birth to a litter of rabbits, and they were packed in bamboo cages one by one and put them in the downtown to sell. Ten wen a piece, and the money from the sale will buy sugar for Gan Xiaotang to eat.
"You feel soft when you touch a rabbit, but you don't feel soft when you touch a dead rabbit's fur." Zou Xiaoxi said, "Hurry up and eat noodles." ”
Gan Xiaotang pouted, and Gan Mingli asked her, "Want to brush your teeth?" ”
Gan Xiaotang nodded, "With a toothbrush, I don't need my mother to brush my teeth, I can brush it myself." ”
"Then the third brother will help you make a small toothbrush." Gan Mingli said.
Gan Xiaotang nodded violently, "Third brother is so good." ”
It is said that after Gan Houli was admitted to the inner house, the learning pressure is not entirely in the books, the six arts of the gentleman, and the White Crane Academy are all to be learned and tested, and the three subjects of etiquette, books, and mathematics are not a big problem for Gan Houli, but music, shooting, and the three subjects of the royal science are a little difficult for him, among which the royal department because the height is not up to standard, there is no need to get on the car to practice, just watch from the sidelines, music science piano, shooting science arrows can not escape.
Gan Houli accepted this knowledge for the first time, and he was in a hurry to learn, and Zhou Xingfeng had another teacher at home to teach, and he was still always at ease.
"The six arts of the gentleman are actually just the academy flaunting the ancient meaning, and in fact it is of little use for the imperial examination." Zhou Xingfeng comforted him when he saw the loss of Gan Hou Lixue, "I still look at serious articles for the exam." ”
"Especially Yu, who still drives the car by himself now, the skills you learn are not like they are used in a hurry, but they seem to be specially learned to perform, dignified students, how can they contribute to the public like a servant." Zhou Xingfeng said, "The same is true for shooting and music, which are the icing on the cake." ”
"You read etiquette, books, and you learn math very well, and these are still somewhat useful in daily life." Zhou Xingfeng said.
"Don't comfort me." Gan Houli said, "I can't accept that my skills are not as good as others, since the school has opened a subject, naturally there is a reason for him, I can't learn well once, and then learn is, if you study hard or don't learn well, you can recognize your own shortcomings, how can you say you do your best without hard work." ”
"I've been a classmate with you for so long, and I admire your tenacity." Zhou Xingfeng said, "Look at other students, these classes should be fun, you really don't have to push yourself so hard, you have to be proficient in everything." ”
"How can you have fun with exams and rankings." "Although the rankings of these subjects will not affect the stay in the college, since it is an exam, it must be treated seriously." ”
Since Gan Houli had no contact with him before, he can only make up for his clumsiness now, and Zhou Xingfeng also accompanies him, so he thinks that he has been reading books for a long time and resting in another way, but he is tired of Yan Song, and the piano, arrows and arrows are not easy, and he carries two people's things back and forth every day.
Zhou Xingfeng saw it in his eyes, so he called another one from home and followed Yan Song to move things.
Gan Houli didn't know anything about this, and once Gan Houli came to give Gan Houli something, he noticed this new face at a glance, and when he asked, he said that Yan Song couldn't be busy alone, and he came to help. Gamberly knew very well that as long as Young Master Zhou was alone, how could Yan Song not be able to serve, and now he would not be busy, all because he had to serve Qilang more. Gamborough asked Shichiro about his current class, and he realized that he had learned several more things.
Gamboli went back to discuss with Ganda, otherwise he would send a scholar in to take care of Shichiro, this week the young master was polite, and they couldn't take politeness for granted.
"I asked, the miscellaneous servants in the academy can take care of them privately and help with things and errands if they are given 200 wen a month." Gamboli said, "If you are a scholar, if you have a good family, you are a scholar who buys a child, and if you have an average family, you can find a person of the same age among your relatives to take care of them. ”
"Don't even mention the word "book boy." Ganda said, "As for the similar age, Gorou himself is also studying, so let him stop reading and take care of Shichiro?" ”
"That's not good, is it?"
"Of course it's not good." Gamboli said, "Just let Saburo go, he's fine now anyway, the main thing is that the piano and the arrows are quite big, Shichiro is now tall and has a hard time moving, Saburo goes in to take care of Shichiro, and when Shichiro grows taller and can move by himself, he won't need him." ”
But this idea was rejected by Gan Butcher, "This matter is actually after Shichiro was admitted to the White Crane Academy, I was thinking, Shichiro is studying, there must always be someone around him to take care of the chores, this person not only accompanies him to study, but also has to accompany him to the exam in the future, how can San Lang accompany Shichiro for the rest of his life?" ”
"I've been thinking about this candidate." Gan Butcher said, "I found it recently." ”
He said to Liu Sanniang, "There is a scorched butcher in Baishun Lane, do you remember?" ”
"I remember that he has a widowed mother in his family, and the widowed mother is extremely filial, and she has not married for a long time." Liu Sanniang said, "Later, I didn't marry a widow. ”
Gan butcher nodded, "It's him, I just recently learned that last year, he had an argument with someone and was stabbed to death." ”
"How can there be such a thing?" Liu Sanniang exclaimed.
"His daughter-in-law took the money from others and walked away, leaving only a ten-year-old child and an old woman." Gan butcher said, "This child will have at least five or six years to hold up the lintel, the two of them are having a hard time, I look pitiful, it is better to take them home, sign a long deed, the boy goes to be a companion with Shichiro, his grandmother stays at home, always let her have someone to take care of, and have something to eat." ”
"The scorched butcher didn't save anything?" Liu Sanniang asked.
"His daughter-in-law can take away all the money for buying her life, and what can the family leave for them, there is only one house left, but his grandmother refuses to sell the house, saying that she wants to leave it to her grandson to marry." Gan butcher said. This consideration cannot be said to be wrong, if the house is sold, the grandparents and grandchildren will be able to survive, but it is not easy to save another house like this in the future.
"Now I rely on people I know to help, but this help is not a way." Gan butcher said, "I went to see that child, his name is Guizi, he is white and clean, and he is sensible, and he remembers it at home, saying that when he grows up, he will repay the kindness of the family by family." ”
"Then Daddy thinks it's good." Ganda said, "It's just that he was also pampered by his family, and he can't do the work of serving people." ”
"There have been sudden changes in the family, and he has sharpened his heart in the past few months, at least I don't look squeamish." Gan butcher said, "Besides, our family Qilang is not a difficult lord to serve, I am worried that he is kind, and I have to find a kind person to accompany him, not to mention the noble son, like his father, extremely filial, this filial person will not be too bad." ”
"Since you've already thought about it, go and talk to the same people." Liu Sanniang said, "It also depends on whether people are willing or not." ”
