Chapter 2 Entering the National Prison for the First Time
As a priest, Xiao Zhuo usually only needs to assist in teaching and other work, and does not need to teach.
So, there is a little more free time.
As soon as I heard that it was the niece of the clan who came to me, I thought about it half a year ago, I received a letter from my brother to him, and I simply cleaned it up and came over.
When he saw Xiao Nianzhi, Xiao Zhuo was a little surprised.
Truth be told, he hadn't seen this niece in almost a decade.
Xiao Zhuo and the original owner's father are cousins of the same grandfather, and the relationship is not too close, but because the two families have thin heirs, they move around frequently.
In addition, the two were still classmates in the early years, and the relationship became closer.
Xiao's father lost his father at an early age, and his mother was not in good health, so after being admitted to Xiucai, he set up a school in the village to take care of his mother, marry a wife and have a daughter.
Xiao Zhuo's family conditions are better, and he studies hard, so he went all the way to high school until Jinshi, and then stayed in the capital as an official, and after sending his parents and grandparents away, he rarely returned to his hometown in Chenzhou.
In my memory, the ignorant girl who still wore two pigtails has now grown into a bright half-grown girl.
When Xiao Zhuo looked at Xiao Nianzhi excitedly, she was also quietly observing the other party.
The original owner didn't have much impression of this Shibo, and in the plot, it was only in the later stage that Shibo learned what happened to his niece.
But at that time, the original owner had fallen in love with the male protagonist, and Xiao Zhuo intended to help her get out of trouble, but she didn't want to.
The plot can't give more reminders, so it can only be observed by Xiao Nianzhi himself.
Xiao Zhuo's facial features are broad, his breath is gentle, and he has a bookish atmosphere of a reader, Xiao Nianzhi feels that the other party should be the kind of person who gets along very well.
Xiao Zhuo looked at it for a long time, his eyes were red, and then he said uncertainly: "Think about it? ”
Think about it, it is the small character of the original owner, and it is also the nickname of Xiao Nianzhi.
After observing, Xiao Nianzhi behaved skillfully: "Uncle." ”
Listening to Xiao Nianzhi shouting to himself, Xiao Zhuo's excited voice trembled: "Hey, the uncle is here, come over and let the uncle see, the uncle hasn't seen you for ten years." ”
Xiao Nianzhi approached obediently, allowing Xiao Zhuo to look at him with red eyes.
When the two gatekeepers saw the scene of the confession, they hurriedly followed and persuaded: "It's good that the child is safe here, don't be sad." ”
"That's right, it's better to settle down first to see the child toss along the way."
……
The two of them spoke up, but they reminded Xiao Zhuo.
Xiao Nianzhi is now an orphan girl, there are no close relatives in the clan, and the clan brother specially wrote a trust to him, he has to be worthy of this trust!
It's just that how to settle Xiao Nianzhi really has to think about it.
Xiao Zhuo lost his wife at an early age, and there were three sons at home, one of whom was studying abroad, and both of whom were studying in the academy.
The family is usually taken care of by the housekeeper, and he himself lives in the dormitory of the Guozijian every day, so it is naturally no problem to let Xiao Nianzhi live in his own house.
It's just that he is afraid that the little girl will feel inferior under the fence, and he is afraid that the family is full of men, and the little girl will not be comfortable living.
Xiao Zhuo thought a lot, first took Xiao Nianshu into a small living room of the academy, and after asking carefully, he tentatively asked her what she meant.
In modern times, Xiao Nianzhi was the proprietress of a small restaurant.
Because of the blessing and training of the delicious kitchen, Xiao Nianzhi's cooking skills are excellent, and the restaurant's reputation is also very good.
It's just that Xiao Nianweaving has the heart of a volume king, but has the body of a salted fish.
Therefore, it is often open for half a day and closed for half a day, which makes diners resentful.
Now that I have come to ancient times, I am an orphan girl who has nothing to rely on, and it is not good to eat and drink for nothing in other people's homes all the time.
But the canteen is heavy, and Xiao Nianzhi is not sure whether he can get in.
Thinking of this, she tentatively spoke: "I can't always eat with my uncle's, can I trouble my uncle to help me find a living in the academy, I think that the academy has a clean atmosphere, and I can work here and make a living." ”
When Xiao Zhuo heard it, it was also the same reason.
He didn't arrange it directly as soon as he came up, but he also thought about not letting the little girl send someone under the fence, he felt uncomfortable, and if he thought too much and got sick, it would not be good.
Now that Xiao Nianzhi brought it up himself, Xiao Zhuo nodded: "Nacheng, I see that the work of serving the fields in the backyard is quite easy, and when I ask about the sacrificial wine, there should be a response soon." ”
Do you want to farm?
Although there is a gap with the ideal, Xiao Nianzhi thinks that he is still in the academy, and there will always be opportunities in the future.
Compared to cooking with a fume, maybe it's a really good choice.
Xiao Nianzhi responded obediently, and Xiao Zhuo went to arrange it.
The other party was very efficient, and by the time the twilight was four, Xiao Nianzhi had already met with Aunt Yu, who would take her to serve the fields tomorrow.
Aunt Yu is in her forties, with medium appearance and a cold temperament.
She lives in the east wing of the farmland dormitory in the backyard, and the west wing of the male masters, with a field in between.
Aunt Yu lived in one by herself, Xiao Nianweaving came over, and she arranged it next door to her own room.
After the arrangements were made, Aunt Yu said softly: "Get up tomorrow and water the vegetable garden with me, don't get up late." ”
Xiao Nianzhi nodded obediently: "Thank you, auntie." ”
Aunt Yu said that if you want to use hot water, you have to burn it yourself, and there is a small stove and firewood on the side of the house.
It's just that they don't have ingredients here, and if you're hungry, you can go to the canteen to borrow ingredients from the stove with the sign she gave you without giving money.
When he came, Xiao Zhuo mentioned Xiao Nianzhi and said that Aunt Yu was from the palace in the past, and her status in the academy was not low.
Now Xiao Nianzhi heard Aunt Yu's arrangement, and said in her heart: This status is really very high.
The original owner hadn't eaten since noon, Xiao Nianweaving came over and tossed, and now that it was past the hour, her stomach was already empty.
Knowing that he could go to the cafeteria to rub the ingredients, Xiao Nianzhi couldn't help but want to move.
Thinking about what Aunt Yu said, most of the students in the academy would go back to the dormitory after the time, and there would not be too many people in the cafeteria, Xiao Nianzhi simply took care of herself, said hello to Aunt Yu, and went to the canteen with the sign given by the other party.
When Xiao Nianweaving passed, there were only two aunts left in the canteen, munching on steamed buns and finishing up the cleaning.
Listening to the movement, she looked up and found that it was a beautiful little girl, Aunt Cui smiled: "This is Aunt Yu's new little apprentice, are you hungry, come here, there are still steamed buns here." ”
The rich aunt next to her heard this and pushed her: "What you said, let the children choose by themselves, they should be you, and they love to eat steamed buns." ”
Xiao Nianzhi greeted the two aunts and took the initiative to introduce herself.
The two aunts exchanged identity information with her with a smile.
While listening to the two aunts, Xiao Nianzhi looked at the ingredients quietly, looking at the noodles hanging on the wall, the little greens left in the vegetable basket, and the dogwood on the edge of the board, her mind came to life directly!
