Seeing the child's eyes red and hoarse, Meng Lianyi's heart softened.

Stretched out his hand and touched his head and said with a smile: "Okay, this is a good thing, why are you crying." ”

Mo Xiuran nodded gratefully when he heard this.

After reaching out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, he raised his head and looked at Meng Lianyi with a serious face: "Aunt Meng, thank you really this time." ”

When he was studying at Liu Fuzi before, he had heard people mention Huang Xiucai and knew that he was a very capable gentleman.

If I can go to his private school, I will naturally learn much better things than in Master Liu's place.

Similarly, it is not easy to enter the name of Huang Xiucai.

Now Aunt Meng has spent so much effort to send herself in.

It can be seen that she is indeed interested in herself.

Thinking that he was still suspicious of Meng Lianyi before, he felt very guilty for a while.

Meng Lianyi didn't know Mo Xiuran's thoughts.

I just feel that since I told Mo Xiuran about Huang Xiucai, he seems to have become more sensible.

Day 2.

The four of them had just finished dinner, and Li Zheng came over.

Seeing Li Zheng coming, Meng Lianyi was a little surprised.

I originally thought that Huang Xiucai would have to wait a few more days, but I didn't expect that the results would be available so soon.

Hurriedly and enthusiastically welcomed Li Zheng to the house.

As soon as Li Zheng sat down, he couldn't wait to ask: "Uncle Chen, there is news from Huang Xiucai's side." ”

After Meng Lianyi finished speaking, Mo Xiuran beside him also looked at him nervously.

Seeing that the two of them were nervous on their faces, Li Zheng smiled and nodded: "Well, I've already asked someone for you, Huang Xiucai does plan to accept a few more students recently, I told him about the situation of repairing and dyeing, and he was very satisfied, and said that he could take it over to see." ”

"That's great." Meng Lianyi said excitedly.

After speaking, he hurriedly looked down at Mo Xiuran.

Mo Xiuran also looked up excitedly.

The two happened to look at each other, and they both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes.

Suppressing his excitement, Meng Lianyi asked Li Zheng: "Uncle Chen, if we go to apprentice, I don't know if we need to pay attention to something?" ”

Meng Lianyi knew that there were a lot of things to pay attention to when apprentices in ancient times.

I don't know much about this matter.

This time, she finally helped Mo Xiuran find a suitable master, and she didn't want to make mistakes because of some trivial things.

Looking at the nervous looks of the two of them, Li Zheng couldn't help but laugh:

"Okay, you don't have to be so nervous, it's just an apprentice, just prepare the bundle and the dried meat and fruit used for the apprentice."

"Strips of meat? Is it okay to have a casual strip of meat, I don't know if there is anything else to pay attention to? Meng Lianyi was a little confused.

I really don't know much about the etiquette of apprenticeship in this era.

Li Zheng thought for a while and continued: "If no one in the village kills pigs, I'm afraid you will have to go to the county seat." ”

After that, he looked at Meng Lianyi with a strange face, and sighed again: "If you don't know where to buy, you can call my daughter-in-law, she is familiar with these, and you can ask her if you don't understand it." ”

The daughter-in-law that Li Zheng is talking about should be the woman who opened the door the last time she went to his house.

"Uncle Chen, thank you so much for this incident." The heroine looked at Li Zheng gratefully.

The other party really helped them a lot this time.

After the heroine said, she reached out and touched Mo Xiuran's head and reminded: "Xiuran, Grandpa Chen has helped us so much, we have to remember his kindness." ”

Mo Xiuran was originally a child who knew etiquette.

Listening to Meng Lianyi's reminder, he hurriedly bowed to Li Zheng: "Thank you Grandpa Chen for your help, I will remember your kindness." ”

Mo Xiuran said with a serious face.

Li Zhengzhi, who was watching, nodded: "What a good boy, he must be a promising one in the future." ”

Although he only helped the Mo family's child out of his original intention.

and did not ask him to repay himself.

But seeing him thank himself so seriously, Li Zheng is still very useful in his heart.

also began to sincerely treat Mo Xiuran as his junior.

So, I couldn't help but say a few more words: "Although the head of Daxi Village helped to introduce him this time, the threshold for Huang Xiucai to select students is really not low. ”

Li Zheng said and glanced at Meng Lianyi.

Although Meng Lianyi is the stepmother of these children.

But after coming in just now, he also observed it and found that Meng Lianyi was really good to these children.

So naturally, I hope that a few children can remember Meng Lianyi well.

Meng Lianyi was also stunned when she heard Li Zheng's voice.

Although she is now nominally the stepmother of these three children.

But on weekdays, they only call themselves Aunt Meng.

Meng Lianyi was afraid that saying this would make Mo Xiuran embarrassed, and he was thinking about how to help him explain.

But seeing Mo Xiuran nodded obediently, he looked at Meng Lianyi with a serious face and whispered: "I know, I will behave well, thank you...... Aunt Meng. ”

Li Zheng frowned slightly when he heard Mo Xiuran's title, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Meng Lianyi with a smile.

"By the way, Uncle Chen, do you know if there is a frame nearby if you want to go to the county seat?"

Li Zheng also saw that Meng Lianyi wanted to change the topic.

But since Meng Lianyi didn't care, he didn't want to meddle and say more.

"Old man Zhang at the entrance of the village will drive into the county seat every day, and when the time comes, you can get in the car if you give him a penny."

Meng Lianyi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

She hadn't been to the county seat since she wore this body, and now she knew that there were ox carts in the village to go back and forth, which was convenient.

So I asked Li Zheng about Mo Xiuran's apprenticeship.

After writing down everything that Li Zheng said, I was relieved.

After Li Zheng finished speaking, he was about to say goodbye and leave, but he turned around as if he had thought of something and said, "By the way, I also asked you about the bundle." ”

"How?" Meng Lianyi was not worried about the matter of silver, but he still asked.

Li Zheng glanced at Meng Lianyi deeply, and then said: "Except for food and lodging, I'm afraid it will take two taels of silver in a year." ”

"Two taels of silver?" Meng Lianyi had already been prepared, and he was also taken aback.

Two taels of silver, though, don't sound much.

But in fact, since he crossed over, all the surplus money in this family has not added up to two taels.

Moreover, Mo Xiuran studied at Liu Fuzi before, and if you don't count the cost of room and board, it is actually a few hundred yuan a year.

So at this time, in other private schools, Huang Xiucai's restraint here is indeed a little scary.

Mo Xiuran naturally heard this number, and his face showed shock for a while.

It took a long time to slowly come back to my senses.

A look of guilt appeared on his face.

He is a sensible child, and naturally knows that for today's family, two taels of silver is indeed not a small amount.

Li Zheng saw that Meng Lianyi was silent for a while, thinking that she was worried about the silver.

He sighed as well.

If Mo Er is still in the shackles of two taels this year, maybe he can still get out.

But now that Mo Er has gone to join the army, life and death are uncertain, and most of the silver sent over every time will be taken away by the old couple of the Mo family.

Then this year's two taels of shackles, Meng Lianyi, want to bear the burden, it will be a little difficult.
