Chapter 160: The house leak happened to rain overnight
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and at the beginning of the month, there was bad news again from the private school in Chu Ren Town, and the gentleman of the private school refused to let Chu Ren continue to study in the private school!
Things have to start a few days ago, Chu Ren on the way home this time, he had returned to the private school in the town to pick up what he left there, at that time Mr. saw him bored, and specially cared for him to adjust his mentality at home first, until next year, before the private school started, there was no need to come to the private school again, Chu Ren didn't think much about it at that time.
But Uncle Chu's family has been in trouble since then, and the atmosphere at home is even worse, Chu Ren stayed at home, and he really felt depressed and bored, so he wanted to go out for a few days to clean up in the name of going to the private school in the town to send filial piety to his husband.
The great cadres advocate reading to rejuvenate the country, the whole country attaches great importance to the study of literature and science, and the identity and status of Mr. Teaching will naturally rise, and in various festivals and celebrations throughout the year, students will come to the door to send filial piety to Mr., and the most solemn New Year of the year is no exception.
Generally, students will come to visit a few days before their thirties, and it is really rare for Chu Ren to come to the door to send filial piety in his early months like this year, but it is not a rude thing, so when Chu Ren proposed to ask Wang to prepare for the filial piety of Mr., Uncle Chu's family did not ask too much.
In accordance with the practice of previous years, Wang prepared all the filial piety to be given to Mr., and personally sent Chu Ren to sit on the ox cart to the town in the early morning, I thought that the eldest son would be like what he said, first to the residence of the gentlemen to send filial piety, and then there was a reunion with the three or five classmates, I am afraid that it will not be five or six days to return home, but who would have thought that it was less than half an afternoon, Chu Ren had already returned to the front of his yard, not only that, but even the filial piety that had just been loaded on the ox cart in the morning was brought back intact!
Wang's stroke left sequelae, hands and feet did not suffer much from the work or anything, only the face is the most prominent, every time before speaking, the corners of the mouth and half of the face will can't help but twitch twice, seeing this scene in a hurry, the face is even more twitching, only after a while to ask: "This, Ah Ren, what's wrong?" Why did you bring back all the filial piety you gave to your husband?"
Chu Ren's already gloomy mood became even more irritable, and he dropped a sentence with a gloomy face: "Bring things in first!" Without looking back, he turned around and went into the courtyard.
Wang hurriedly unloaded all the things on the ox cart, and before he had time to put them into the room one by one, he threw them in a corner of the courtyard at random, closed the courtyard door and ran forward to chase Chu Ren: "Ah Ren, what the hell is going on? But what happened on the way there?"
"The gentleman refuses to accept it! Let them all be brought back, not only the things, but I won't have to go to the private school in the town anymore!"
"What? Why? Do you think our family has sent less filial piety this year? I'm going to go to them, why don't I let you go to a private school! Isn't that ruining your future?"
Chu Ren remembered what Mr. said when he went to send filial piety today, his heart was full of resentment, he hated that the private school and Mr. didn't think of the old relationship at all, and hated why he repeatedly failed to make the list, which made people laugh!
He has been studying in this private school since he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of twenty, and now it has been almost ten years, in the past ten years, whether it is the normal imperial examination, or because of something, the temporary increase of Enke in the imperial court, he doesn't know how many times he has participated in it, but he just didn't win!
Now that even the private school in the town is about to turn him away, Chu Ren still remembers every word that the private school teacher said: "You have been studying in our private school for ten years now, and I am afraid that you have mastered the knowledge you should learn more firmly than mine, and now I have nothing to teach you anymore, you just need to go home and review your homework by yourself, so you don't waste your family's money anymore!"
Chu Ren couldn't hear what the private school and Mr. meant, saying that he had a good grasp of it, that there was nothing to teach, and that he would save some money for his family, it was all an excuse!
It's just that the private school hasn't seen that he has been unsuccessful, and he doesn't want to continue to accept him in the private school and affect their reputation for admissions. I'm afraid that if he continues to study there, outsiders and peers will say that this private school will definitely not teach well, and people will be qualified to show talent at the age of twenty, and they have been studying in this private school for ten years, and they have become a waste who has repeatedly failed the list, and it has been passed around the town like this, where can new students be recruited in the future, Jane
It's just a dream.
There is another purpose for Mr. Private School to do this, that is, because Li Xiucai passed away, you must know that when Li Xiucai was alive, Chu Ren, as the son-in-law of Mr. Teaching in the Private School, has always charged only half of the fees, even if Li Xiucai can no longer teach in the private school, in order to take care of the reputation of the private school, Chu Ren's fees have not been adjusted, and now that Li Xiucai has passed away, there is no need to continue to take care of Chu Ren.
Chu Ren told the Wang family all about the sinister intentions of the private school, and then said even more viciously: "They are just some people who sell their fame and reputation! They don't look down on me, and I don't want to go! In all these years, I have never seen a person in that private school pass the exam, and it would be a waste of my time to go!"
"That's it! Don't listen to their stinky and shameless farts, Ah Ren, can you endure it, didn't we rely on our own talent to be admitted back then! You're right, that private school hasn't passed the exam for so many years, and he doesn't have any ability, he just fools people with money, and he doesn't reach the school in our village!"
Although Wang said this, she was still uneasy in her heart, although she didn't understand the twists and turns in this matter, but she knew one thing, none of the people she had heard of who had been admitted to Xiucai, or even the masters, had never been to the school, and only learned it at home!
"It's just Ah Ren, we don't have to study at home, we can also go to another private school, when the time comes, we will pass the exam, and now this private school has to regret all the intestines, by the way, I heard that this imperial examination, the three in our town are all from another private school, why don't we go there!"
Wang's idea, how could Chu Ren not think: "Ah Niang said lightly, can you know that the cost of that private school for a year is twice as much as this one? What's more, I only need to pay half of the money right now!"
The Wang family didn't expect that the price between the private schools could be so different, and they couldn't help but be speechless for a while, with the current situation of Uncle Chu's family, if the cost of going to the private school to study would be doubled several times, it would really not be able to afford Chu Ren to continue studying.
Wang's biggest dream and motivation in the second half of his life is to look forward to the day when Chu Ren will be able to go to high school, and his family will live a good life with no worries about food and clothing, and a group of slaves, but now she sees that Chu Ren's future has been ruined because of the lack of money, which she can never tolerate, and wants to earn more silver, so Wang can't help but think of his coffin shop, and think of the paper money sold in the shop.
On the side of the Chu family's old house, the young couple was about to clean the shop that had not opened for many days, so that they could reopen cleanly, when they saw Lin Qiuyi, who had been recuperating in the West Chamber, walking towards the door.
At this time, Lin Qiuyi had been recuperating at the Chu family for nearly ten days, and while her body recovered, she also had a short-term preliminary plan for her future days.
"Luzhu, do you have time to wait? I have something to discuss with you."
said that it was cleaning, but Shen Luzhu didn't actually do anything, just sat on the chair that Chu Yi specially brought for her, and chatted with him while watching Chu Yi work: "I don't have anything to do right now, I don't know if Miss Lin has something to tell me?"
"I've been recuperating with you for ten years, and now that my body has recovered as before, it's better to keep bothering you, it's time to leave!"
During this time, although Shen Luzhu and Lin Qiuyi did not have much contact, they could also detect what kind of person this Lin girl was, so she naturally lost her initial precautions, and felt more like the concern between ordinary friends: "Miss Lin has always been very quiet, where is there anything to disturb and not bother, since she has thought about leaving, but she already has a plan for the future?"
fled all the way from Lingnan County to Ningchuan Mansion in the northernmost part, and on the way, he had to worry about the pursuit of the Lin family and the people, and he had to guard against the malice of others, the whole person looked exhausted, except for instinctively running away, nothing else had time to think about it, but Lin Qiuyi's days in the Chu family could finally let the tired body and brain have a good rest, and finally realized that he had already gotten rid of the Lin family and the people, and was safe for the time being.
So every day, in addition to being in a daze, she pondered her future way out, thinking that it was coming soon
Coming to the Spring Festival, Lin Qiuyi made a bold decision: "I first want to rent a small yard near us to live, and the rest will wait until after this Spring Festival to make other plans, but I am not familiar with the place, and I have to trouble Luzhu to help me inquire about this matter."
Lin Qiuyi chose to temporarily settle down in the backing village, in addition to realizing that she had gotten rid of the threat of the Lin family, another reason was that the Chu family, the people around these two courtyards, in this ten years of getting along, made her feel that she was a person who could get along with her with a little peace of mind, and she wanted to rent a yard nearby, but she was also selfish, thinking that if something happened, at least there were trustworthy people living nearby who could help her.
Shen Luzhu smiled and waved his hand: "What's this, when I go back and sell paper money, I'll help you ask by the way, don't you have it!"
This matter is simple to think about, but it is really difficult to meet Lin Qiuyi's requirements, and the reason is very simple, there are many empty houses near the Chu family, but the entire yard is rented, but there is not one!
In the end, Lin Qiuyi had to choose a family in the east of the Chu family's old house, the backyard of that family has a separate small door, and there is a separate small room in the backyard, there is not much contact with the front yard, and it is very close to the Chu family's old house.
