Chapter 194: The Eagle Takes Flight, the Tiger Descends the Mountain!
Mr. Wu waved his hand, inadvertently glanced at Tai Yongning, and saw that his arm was still trembling slightly, and he knew that he was still worried about Fang Cai's affairs.
If you think about it, this child is not angry that he is being slighted, but because he is disgusted because of what his family has carefully prepared.
Rare purity and filial piety, this is an advantage, but if you don't guide it, I am afraid that there will always be a quarrel between brothers and sisters in the future.
Thinking like this, Mr. Wu didn't send off the guests, and began to ask questions in front of everyone, and taught the foundation of the four disciples in a unified way.
Song Hui entered school early, studied for six years, and has already learned half of the Four Books and Five Classics, so he naturally answers questions fluently.
Teng Yu has been enlightened for five years, and the Four Books and Five Classics are also a bit involved, and the answer is a little stumbling, but it is not ugly.
Qi Ming has been enlightened for five years, and there is a mother who loves him at home, he has not eaten too much hardship, and he has hardly read the Four Books and Five Classics.
However, Tai Yongning surprised everyone, and he didn't enter the school for a day, but he performed very well. can't compare to Song Hui, on par with Tengyu, and surpass Qi Ming......
Mr. Wu praised all four disciples, and others didn't feel anything, but Qi Ming was ashamed and embarrassed.
He was carefully cultivated by his family, but he was not as good as the peasant boy he looked down on!
No wonder his father always taught him to act humbly, there are people outside the world!
He was slapped in the face today......
He hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, walked in front of Tai Yongning and bent down to salute, "Senior Brother Tai, Fang is not right, I shouldn't belittle your apprenticeship at will, I shouldn't offend your family and elders, please forgive me!" I won't do that again! ”
Tai Yongning didn't expect that this senior brother who was like a proud rooster would take the initiative to apologize, so he paused for a moment, and hurriedly saluted, "The third senior brother is serious, but it is the first day we met, we are not familiar with each other, we will always get along in the future, I believe that the senior brother will not misunderstand me again." ”
The two raised their heads, only to find that they were too close, almost head-to-head, so they took a step back slightly embarrassed, both blushing slightly.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and Master Qi stroked his palms and smiled, "This kid in my family is a bastard, it's good in the future, there is a junior brother who can control him." ”
Old Man Tai has always been by his side, and Tai Jizu was stopped by him when he wanted to speak.
It's not that he doesn't feel sorry for his grandson, it's really that the eagle wants to fly, the tiger wants to go out of the mountains and forests, and he always has to try it himself, and others can't help him!
He is protecting his grandson today, can he still follow him to study every day!
It is always up to the grandson to solve it and face it himself!
Fortunately, his grandson did not disappoint him, and even solved the first test in his life so well!
At this time, he endured the excitement in his heart and greeted Master Qi, "This kid in my family is too, he looks quiet, but he actually has a stubborn temper." In the future, I will study with my brothers, and I will give him more guidance! ”
"The old man is polite!" Master Qi was also relieved in his heart, even if this matter was completely revealed.
Soon, Old Man Tai and the others took their leave, leaving the four teenagers to start their first class.
At noon, the Wu family will provide lunch, and there will be a class after the meal, and school will be out at about the end of the day.
Old Man Tai and Tai Jizu didn't go home, so they left the carriage in the Wu family and began to wander around the city, wanting to rent a suitable small yard.
In the future, Yongning will come to study every day, although it is not too far from home to the city, but it always takes more than half an hour, and it is easy to delay classes due to rain and snow or blocked city gates.
It is best to live in the city, saving two hours on the way back and forth, and Yongning can read for a while.
There is also the family's cashmere business, and the stalls will definitely get bigger and bigger in the future, and Tai Jiye will often come and go to the city. There is a good place to live, and this uncle and nephew have less hard work.
The Wu family is in the east of the city, so there is no need to think about renting a house here, not to mention the high price, there are almost no empty yards.
The south of the city is lined with streets and alleys, and there are many houses and yards, but there are also many people coming and going, and the environment is very noisy.
I don't know if it's the relationship between feng shui in the west of the city, I always feel a little cold when I walk back and forth, and most of the warehouses and temporary footholds of some commercial houses here are also not good.
Cheng...... Not to mention it, it's too rundown.
Old Man Tai and Tai Jizu found a lot of Chinese people, focusing on wandering around the south of the city, but unfortunately there was no suitable one when the sun was setting westward.
In the end, a middle-aged man remembered a place, and actually took them around to the alley behind the shopping street, and there was a small courtyard at the innermost.
The yard has only three main rooms and two side rooms, but it is very well maintained, does not need any repairs, and comes with a well, so it can be said that closing the door is a self-sufficient small life.
The most pleasing thing is that it is quiet in the middle of the noise, and the commercial street is separated by 100 meters, but it is not noisy at all.
Tai Yongning went to Wu's house to study during the day, and came back at night to eat and live, and the commercial street was no longer crowded, let alone affected.
And Tai Jiye wants to talk about business, make an appointment with a friend or find a caravan, and it is also very convenient to enter and exit......
Old Man Tai and Tai Jizu were very satisfied, and stood at the door with the Chinese to discuss the rent.
The Chinese man is naturally able to speak well, and he can't wait to pat his chest and promise, "Old man, this courtyard used to be lived by a foreign merchant with a concubine, and it has never been taken care of." You haven't moved in yet, but you save money for repairs, not to mention the well, so you don't have to go to other people's houses to fetch water, it's too convenient, isn't it?
"This rent, the landlord entrusted it to me, and it costs one or two or five dollars a month. If you pay for the whole year, I can still make some decisions! ”
Old Man Tai spoke, and the back door of a courtyard in front of him was pushed open, and Steward Min actually walked out.
Old Man Tai was surprised, looked around and smiled, "Oh, I'm really busy and dizzy, this place is so close to the dim sum shop!" ”
Steward Min also stepped forward quickly and responded, "The old man is really, why don't you say anything when you come here." If it weren't for the young man's sharp eyes, I wouldn't know! ”
Old Man Tai hurriedly pulled him and told him about Yongning's enrollment and renting.
Steward Min was also overjoyed, "I heard from the guests, and they all said that they don't know whose kid is so lucky." Those in this city who want to send their children to Master Wu to teach are not one hundred but eighty, but unfortunately Master Wu accepted four! ”
"Yes, Yongning will stay and study in the future, and it will be too delayed to travel back and forth, so the family will want to rent him a yard. The third child also has a place to stay in the city! Old Man Tai motioned to Steward Min to look at the courtyard and quoted the price.
Steward Min frowned and responded, "This yard is not bad, and I can take care of it from time to time here." But the price is too high! ”
As soon as the Chinese saw that the Tai family had acquaintances nearby, he knew that he couldn't slaughter the fat sheep today, so he hurriedly said, "Since it is for the son to study, the owner of the house should also be happy." When I go and talk to the landlord, the rent will be as ...... Fifteen taels a year, it's really the lowest price! ”
That's the equivalent of two months cheaper rent.
The old man didn't argue any more, and paid a deposit of one or two silver to settle the yard. Just wait until tomorrow when you move in, and then sign the deed.
Steward Min also invited the old man and Tai Jizu to sit in the backyard of the shop, but he didn't want a young man to rush out the back door and rush over!
