Chapter 222: Lord Chincha
"That's not easy, you go to school with me, anyway, it's okay for you to stay in the store at night."
Wang Yi is generous and authentic.
"But I can't afford to pay a tuition fee for school."
Wu Jing hesitated for a moment and said.
"I'll ask Mr. Aoyama to see if I can charge a little less, after all, he taught me one to teach, and teaching two is also to teach, and Mr. Aoyama had the best teacher, whether he can accept you is also fate, he doesn't particularly care about money."
Wang Yi actively thought of a way.
"Oh, how much does Mr. Aoyama charge you for now?"
Wu Jing inquired to prepare mentally.
"Charge me a tael of silver a month." Wang Yi said, "This is the price of the market, Mr. is a foreigner, and it is okay to be idle at night, and if there are students who are willing to learn, he will be happy to make more extra money." Otherwise, you have to charge three to five taels of silver a month for normal schooling. ”
Wu Jing listened and shook his head, for him, one tael of silver a month is an unattainable amount, and now he only has an income of a few hundred yuan a month, and he has to pay two-thirds of Zhou's money, fortunately, Liu Wan said that he carried the 200 yuan for him, otherwise he would only have 100 yuan on hand.
300 yuan, after deducting living expenses, he estimates that he still has 200 yuan left, and he has to save for 5 months to pay a month's tuition.
Therefore, learning literacy is a very expensive thing for him, a luxury dream, and it is impossible to realize it.
Wu Jing could only smile bitterly and said: "Forget it, let's have a chance to learn again in the future, I haven't established myself in the town yet, and there are many places to use money, and I don't have any money left." ”
Wang Yi didn't force him, after all, even if Wu Jing could pay the money, Mr. Qingshan was willing to accept it, and he decided to have a chance to talk about it after inquiring.
At this time, in the county office, Wu County Commander was entertaining Lord Qincha from the capital.
Wu County Ling never expected that the tiger fight would alarm the emperor, and the emperor heard that the tiger that bit and injured people was captured alive, and Long Yan was happy.
In the past two or three years, the climate has been cloudy and sunny, and the continuous drought in the north has led to the displacement of many victims, and the neighboring countries are eyeing each other, and from time to time they will send small troops to raid.
At this time, I received the good news of catching the tiger alive, and if it was in a peaceful and prosperous world, this message might have been thrown into an inconspicuous corner.
But at this time, it was an eventful time, and the good news of the capture of the tiger alive appeared, which suddenly made the emperor feel refreshed.
In addition, Liu Wan wrote at the same time and invited herself to be chaste, and the emperor felt that the deeds of the mother and son were touching, so he specially sent the minister to issue the holy decree and give Liu Wan a mother and son a reward.
Wu County Ling felt very honored: the emperor can send the minister to present the award, it seems that his political achievements this year will definitely be evaluated, and he is expected to be promoted.
A dish at the banquet attracted the attention of the minister, who picked up the barbecue and couldn't stop eating it, boasting:
"I didn't expect the chef of the county government to have this kind of skill, grilled just right, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, the gravy is delicious and not firewood, it is comparable to the palace kitchen, which chef is this barbecue from?"
Wu Xianling didn't know who made the specific dishes, because these dishes were arranged by Steward Liu, so he glanced at Steward Liu, who was waiting for tea on the side.
Steward Liu hurriedly nodded and stepped forward and said:
"Lord Qincha, this barbecue is not made by the chef in the yamen, it is a secret barbecue that I bought on the street, and it is a coincidence that it is Wang Xiao, the hero of the tiger fight, who makes this barbecue.
He opened a barbecue restaurant in the town, and because of the unique taste and high quality, the business has been very good.
There are many barbecue restaurants in the town, but everyone recognizes him, so the little one specially went to buy his barbecue, thanks to the fact that Lord Qin Cha did not give up. ”
"I see." The minister nodded with satisfaction and said, "I didn't expect the food cooked by the tiger hero to be good." ”
Wu County Ling hurriedly said with a smile on his face:
"That is, I have seen Wang Xiao himself, when the lower officials came up with the idea of a heroic order, Wang Xiao went out to unveil the list. He was quick-witted, nimble and ingenious, or he wouldn't have captured the big tiger alive that had hurt countless people. ”
"Well, it's true, a person knows everything, it seems that the tiger hunting hero is not simple, what to learn, there are such talents, it proves that the national fortune of my Great Zhou Kingdom is prosperous, and there are many talents. By the way, I have one more important thing to do on this trip. ”
Lord Chincha muttered.
"Your Excellency, please speak." Wu County Ling respectfully said.
"The emperor ordered me to escort the big tiger that was captured alive back to the capital and put it in the imperial garden for fun."
The minister said slowly.
Capturing the big tiger alive, this is an unprecedented thing in this dynasty, in the capital, not to mention the ordinary people, even the civil and military officials have never seen the appearance of a live tiger.
Therefore, the emperor specially ordered people to build a very solid animal training field covering an area of more than one acre in the imperial garden, and prepared to keep the big tiger in captivity for his usual ornamentation.
At the same time, if foreign envoys come to visit, they can also take them to enjoy the game to promote the prestige of the country.
When Wu County heard this, he immediately said:
"Lord Qincha, it's not a problem, the big tiger has been well served in the cage for public display, and he eats and drinks every day, so he is quite energetic now."
"That's good."
Lord Qincha was relieved when he heard this, before he came, he was also worried that Wu Xianling did not know the depth and mutilated the tiger to death, and when he heard that the tiger was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Because escorting the tiger into Beijing was a temporary and sudden decision of the emperor, whether this mission could be completed or not, Lord Qincha did not have a score in his heart, and he was playing a small drum in his heart all the way.
But the emperor Chrysostom said everything, and he also started to build a beast training field, can't he come here and find a tiger skin, or send a dead tiger back?
If this is the case, although the person directly responsible is Wu County's order, he is also inevitably responsible for his ineffective work.
Fortunately, Wu County Ling still raised the big tiger well.
Qin Cha breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said more kindly:
"Wu County Order, this tiger has to be fed well recently, although pork, chickens, and ducks are supplied, it is good to raise it with a mighty spirit, so as to show the difficulty of capturing this big tiger alive."
Wu County's order is self-sufficient.
When Liu Wan and Wang Xiao returned home, Wu Hui was already able to get up and move around a little, but she didn't dare to do anything yet.
Wang Lian and Wang Li are also very sensible, and they took the initiative to do things such as feeding chickens and ducks, and did not let Wu Hui do it.
Wu Hui saw that the two of them were so sensible, and she secretly felt guilty in her heart. It's just that there is some guilt that I can't say and can't say.
After Liu Wan went home at noon, she casually picked up some leftover rice, fried bacon with the leftover bracken from yesterday, and after she was full, she went to Xie Tietou's house with Wang Xiao.
