Chapter 111: A Family Doesn't Speak Two Words
Send away the mother-in-law, she didn't stop, this matter has nothing to do with her, push it to Mr. Wang, if he is willing to accept and teach, Zuo is just one more student, if he is not willing, he will not teach, he is like this, who dares to be angry with him?
At this time, Mrs. Wang was feeding the small animals in the backyard, and Mr. Wang was drinking tea and reading a book in the house.
The mother-in-law said at the door, "Old lady, at the gate of the courtyard, Miss Xin'er returned to the door in three days and brought her uncle to see you." ”
Mr. Wang snorted, "Call them in." ”
As soon as Xin'er and Xianggong entered the house, they hurriedly saluted the old gentleman.
"Xin'er greets Mr., and Feng Yinshi greets Mr."
"Well, sit down,"
The two girls who followed hurriedly put the gift box on the table and withdrew.
"Where's the old lady?"
"I went to the backyard, and I saw those little guys all day long than I saw my own grandchildren."
Feng Yin glanced at Xin'er with practical expectant eyes, she has lived in the house for a long time, and she still has a certain understanding of her husband's preferences.
"Sir, do you still accept students?"
"If you don't accept it, just these few will make the old man tired enough, and I don't have the energy to collect it anymore, at the age when I should have been old, if it weren't for your master's good cooking skills, hanging the old man's appetite, I wouldn't have taken a few of them."
"Sir, Xin'er's father-in-law was eighteen or sixteen years old this year, and he wants to go further, you see?"
"Let's go to the Wind Forest Academy in Fucheng, there are a lot of people and scholars there."
"No one introduced me there, and besides, the bundle for a year is so high, my in-laws can't afford it."
When Mr. Wang heard this, his eyes widened, his face was a little gloomy, and he took a deep look at Xin'er.
This woman, once she became someone else's daughter-in-law, her thoughts were all on her mother-in-law's family, and she didn't think about Mrs. Qiao and Shopkeeper Lu at all.
"You don't want to spend money yet, and you still want you to worship a famous teacher, how can there be such a good thing in this world? Take your master as an example, don't look at the fact that she hasn't handed me a bundle every year, do you know that the amount of money your master spends on the old man every year is more than three times higher than that of the bundle. ”
Ruxin and Feng Yinshi's faces flushed, "What Mr. said is true." ”
"If you call me sir, then I will say, your master is so good to you, you can't repay her in your life, what have you done for her?"
"Xin'er is ashamed"
"You see that she has no leisure all day long, working hard to make money for this family, your family eats and drinks here, lives here, all the money is from her, even the money for your happy event is also from her, have you ever wanted to share it for her?"
"Xin'er really didn't think about it."
"The old man's bundle is much more expensive than that in Fucheng, do you still want to touch your master's light, stuff your husband in, and save a penny? Let's not talk about this for now,
If the old man agrees, will you and your husband live here again and continue to eat and drink for nothing? If you spend money, your master will definitely not let you,
If you don't spend money, then you're here again, have you ever thought about it for your master? Is she tired, is her money enough for this family's expenses?
The old man came to answer you, the old man felt sorry for your master, this girl was too tired and too hard, and the old man didn't want to bring people into the house anymore and add a burden to her. ”
At this time, Xin'er and Feng Yinshi's faces flushed, "No, sir, Xin'er never thought about it like that, I just think that you teach one is also teaching, and teaching two is also teaching, elephant, like herding sheep." ”
"If that's the case, the students who enter the academy can become officials, do you know that this gentleman is not in vain, you have to tutor one by one, point out their shortcomings, and be tired not only physically but also mentally."
"Sir, I'm sorry, Xin'er really didn't think so."
"Because you are used to it, you are used to your master's dedication, if you come here to ask the old man to help you go to the Wind Forest Academy in Fucheng, the old man will not be angry, but you want to stuff your husband in, right?"
The two lowered their heads, speechless by Mr. Wang's words.
"For the sake of your master's face, the old man didn't say anything unpleasant, if it were someone else, he would definitely scold people with the old man's temperament."
"I'm sorry sir, it's Xin'er who doesn't know how to be grateful, and I'm too reckless today."
"Do you want to go to the Wind Forest Academy?"
"Go, go, I'll spend all my dowry, and I'll let the prime minister go"
"Your dowry is not exhausted, don't be an old man and be a fool."
Mr. Wang got up, went to the desk and picked up a pen, brushed and wrote a letter of introduction, and then found a letter, on which was written that the dean of Fenglin College had received.
Then he sealed the letter and handed it to Xin'er.
"Girl, if you get married, you have to think about your mother's family, your mother and your master are not easy, your mother has taken out the family in order to let you get married, your master has just built a house for you, and there is not much silver in his hand, you go and see, the vegetable jar by the courtyard wall, in order to earn more silver, she takes people to pickle vegetables every day, just to sell them at a good price in winter."
Xin'er's tears fell, "Sir, I was wrong! ”
"Think before you do something."
"Yes, sir!"
After taking the letter and saying goodbye to Mr. and going to the front hall, the shopkeeper Lu saw their expressions and knew that the matter had not been done, and Xin'er told Lu Sanniang about seeing Mr.
Lu Sanniang also felt that her face was hot, she knew that she shouldn't let her daughter go to the old gentleman, it was too rash, and she was responsible for not stopping her.
"It's not good to be a mother, I didn't think about it so much."
"Mr. is good, he didn't quarrel with me, he just made things clear, he was teaching his daughter how to behave in a way, and he also wrote a letter of introduction to his daughter and asked Xianggong to go to Fenglin College in Fucheng to study."
"Hey, that's great, when my in-laws told me about this, I didn't agree, because Mr. Wang is really old, and being a gentleman to the Qiao family is also for your master's craft, don't you see that he only teaches in the morning and has to rest in the afternoon?"
"Mother-in-law, my son-in-law is already very content, and I have caused trouble for Xin'er and my mother-in-law."
"When I arrived at the Wind Forest Academy, I studied hard and tried to be admitted as soon as possible."
"Yes, mother-in-law!"
At noon, a table of dishes was cooked in the kitchen, Qiao Mai and the Yuan family got up to accompany each other, and Mr. Wang and his wife ate in their own yard.
The Yuan family is not even a child now, and he didn't hide it from Feng Yinshi, but Qiao Mai saw from the eyes of the son-in-law of the Feng family that he looked down on the Yuan family a little, maybe he felt that he was so old that he didn't even have a reputation.
Although he disguised it well, Qiao Mai's perception was too powerful.
It's just an outsider, she Qiao Mai won't mind, as long as Sister Lu and her family are doing well.
It doesn't matter if you can afford it, or if you look down on it, you just need to look down on yourself.
After eating, the Yuan family went back to their own courtyard, and Qiao Mai and the shopkeeper Lu prepared a lot of gifts for the two of them and asked them to take them back.
Shopkeeper Lu took Qiao Mai's hand, "Sister, thank you for your hard work." ”
"What's polite, we're good sisters, and the family doesn't talk to each other."
"Ruxin did something wrong today."
"What's wrong?"
She went to ask Mr. to let him take in the old man as a student, but Mr. didn't agree, and taught Xin'er a lot.
"Hehe, that's it, you should come to me first, you're embarrassed to refuse Yin Shi, I'm embarrassed, Mr. Wang didn't want to teach me to teach them, this was forced by his granddaughter, and he will definitely not accept students anymore, he doesn't care about whether he is kind or impersonal, he doesn't want to teach, he doesn't want to teach."
"I also know, when they came to the house in September, I hinted to them that they didn't listen and had to hit the south wall, and I couldn't help it."
"Xin'er, don't look at getting married, but her temperament is simple and her ideas are simple, you have to teach her a little, don't suffer at her mother-in-law's house and be led by the nose."
"In the future, I will take Ruyi to the county seat to see her every month."
"You go and rest, I have to go pickle, I still have a lot of work."
"Shall I help you?"
"No need, you're not the one to do this job, so I'll do it."
