Chapter Seventy-Four: The Yu Family Is Too Poor!
Everyone else in the house went out, leaving Ku Xia and Yin Hongxuan.
Yin Hongxuan is a polite and well-educated child, he took the initiative to ask, "What else does Grandma Yu have to say to Xuanhong?" β
Ku Xia's eyes glanced at his neck, and said meaningfully, "Do you need me to help you notify someone to send you home?" β
Yin Hongxuan reflexively covered the jade pendant he was wearing around his neck, and looked Ku Xia up and down several times, he really underestimated this old woman.
Ku Xia saw that he was more vigilant, and patiently reassured, "Don't be afraid, I am also entrusted by others, and your family is looking for you everywhere." β
Yin Hongxuan looked at Ku Xia again, making sure that he didn't have any malicious intent, he nodded, "Thank you Grandma Yu, I'll trouble you." β
In fact, he himself had a way to notify people to come over, but seeing that Ku Xia was so enthusiastic, he was embarrassed to refuse, and he also wanted to see if this old woman could really find someone to come over.
"You have a good rest first, this house will be for you to live in for the time being, if you have something to shout loudly, when it is time to eat in the evening, I will have someone bring it to you."
After saying that, Kuxia went out, it was already good for him to take care of this child a little more, but don't think that she was serving Yin Hongxuan like a minion, anyway, she didn't know Yin Hongxuan's identity, and now Yin Hongxuan was just a child she saved here.
Everyone walked out, and the room was silent for a while, and Yin Hongxuan had the heart to look carefully.
The room was very small, not as small as the side room where his little palace maid lived, and he felt that he could finish it in less than ten steps.
The room was cleaned, and there was a one-man high wooden cabinet on the ground against the right wall, and a wooden barrel was placed on it, and a handful of fresh colorful wildflowers were placed in it, exuding a faint fragrance, which showed that the owner of the house was a clean and neat master.
He was now lying sideways on what they called the "kang", which was very unscrupulous, but he felt that the cold was the most suitable for summer.
On the top of his head lay a large stack of quilts, covered with a cloth sheet, and at his feet was a small wooden cabinet lying horizontally against the wall, about as wide and narrow as he had been seven, and a small lock hung on it, which the master used to store valuables.
Judging by the degree of wear and tear of these things, the family is not very wealthy, the wooden cabinets are shiny and reflective, and some of them are missing corners.
Yin Hongxuan was estimating the family in his heart, and in order to analyze the environment he was in, he heard the faint sound of reading aloud, and there were both adults and children, and even women!
This made Yin Hongxuan very surprised, even if there is an adult's reading voice, how can there be a woman?
He has been in the palace for a long time, only to see the palace concubines holding a book and leaning on the table to read quietly, never read aloud like this, once he also wondered why his sisters and sisters did not come to study with him, the masters answered for him: since ancient times, women do not need to read.
What the master said has always been right, and Yin Hongxuan thought it was right, but when he came here, he suddenly heard a woman reading, which really made Yin Hongxuan feel strange.
He stood up and looked out through the hole in the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window, only to see two rows of adults and children sitting in a neat yard, both men and women, all upright, and several people looked at a book and read it aloud, although it was in the small courtyard of the farmhouse, it was as serious as a school.
This is the Yu family's must-have project every night since Yu Wenyuan came, Ku Xia has prescribed to them, no matter what they are busy with today and what they do, they can't fall behind to study, consolidate knowledge that they have learned, and learn more if they don't learn, as the patriarch, of course, she must play an exemplary role and read the loudest.
The writing of this world has a lot in common with the words she learned in modern times, so she learns quickly.
This made Yu Wenyuan feel surprised, he didn't expect that a 50-year-old lady in Kuxia could learn so quickly, even Yu Cai, who he was most optimistic about, couldn't compare to her speed of literacy, but fortunately, Kuxia realized that she was a little different from ordinary people, and began to deliberately converge in the later stage.
She doesn't need to take exams, she can know the words of this world, understand the things of this world, and leave the opportunity to young people.
Ku Xia shook his head and thought about it, feeling that he was really getting more and more like his predecessors.
Yin Hongxuan looked at Yu Wenyuan, who was standing in front of this big family, holding a separate book, with his hands behind his back, and felt that this person had the temperament of a scholar, and guessed that this should be the gentleman who taught them to read, but this family could afford to hire a gentleman?
Yin Hongxuan didn't know the story, but he was wondering in his heart, and when he saw the food brought to him by Yu De and Yu Cai'er in the evening, he was even more puzzled.
One meat, one vegetarian and one soup, I don't know how much worse it is than the food he ate in the palace, but compared with ordinary people's homes, this has to be a banquet to eat, right?
I heard those guards say that the common people eat bran at home, and last year there was a famine and they couldn't afford to eat, and it was common to sell children and daughters to gnaw tree bark and eat grass roots, and it was only half a year ago, and now the people are living so well?
Yin Hongxuan poked the red and shiny chicken nuggets in the bowl with chopsticks, all of them were meat, there was not a single bone, and the fragrance of chicken was drilled into his nose vigorously!
Tsk tsk, are the guards lying to him? Now that the people's lives at home have been comfortable and rich, can they afford to eat meat for a meal?
Or did Grandma Yu guess that his identity was not ordinary, and deliberately improved his food?
Thinking of this, Yin Hongxuan felt sorry in his heart, and he couldn't eat this meat.
Yu De and Yu Cai thought that he was unappetizing, so Yu De kindly asked, "What's wrong with you?" Isn't this dish tasty? β
He looked at the chicken nuggets and swallowed his saliva, this is the braised chicken nuggets made by his mother, he loves to eat it the most!
But there was a big pot in the hall, and he would have to eat two more later!
Yin Hongxuan didn't know what Yu De was thinking. Seeing Yu De drooling at the meat, he really thought that he couldn't eat meat at home, so he opened a small stove for him alone, and suddenly felt guilty in his heart, and said, "Have you not eaten yet?" Eat with me, I can't eat alone. β
The two brothers Yude and Yucai didn't know Yin Hongxuan's inner drama, and really thought that he couldn't eat alone, so they kindly went to the hall house and brought the two of them dishes and chopsticks over, and accompanied Yin Hongxuan to eat together.
Ku Xia didn't know what kind of food Yin Hongxuan was, the meals served to him were all large, and the three boys could eat enough together.
Yu Deyu is really hungry, holding the rice bowl and having a tumultuous meal!
Yin Hongxuan is also hungry, he was chased by robbers to flee for his life before, and then exposed to the sun again, at this time, there are two brothers Yu De and Yucai to give him a live performance to eat and broadcast to make him appetite, Liu Youxiang's craftsmanship is really good under the training of bitter summer, the food is fragrant and delicious, Yin Hongxuan, several people in the palace surrounded him, serving him to eat, and he also showed off a big bowl of rice by himself at this time!
When the food was almost finished, Yin Hongxuan looked at the remaining food and said to Yu Deyucai, "I remember when I first woke up, I saw a girl in your family?" Did she eat or not? β
Yu De nodded and said, "That's the eldest sister of my family, and my family also has a little sister and a second sister!" You heard me tell you, my second sister is fun! Round, chubby! It's even more gratifying when you laugh! Especially her ......"
