After going back, Gu Huanxi first settled the few people he brought, followed Gu Xiaoyu's hug Pu Shouchuang, followed Wei Liang to live in the front cover room, the four little girls, and Wei Ci lived in the back cover room, there was a person named Chunhua, who was good at female redness, Gu Huanxi took some fabric to her, and asked her to make a few sets of fitting clothes for each of the newcomers.

The others followed Wei Ci to learn the crafts on the stove, and the chores at home were also done by them, and they had to learn to read and write and do arithmetic in their spare time.

Xu Huaiyi guessed her plan, and after lunch, when the two of them were talking in private, he asked directly, "Are you training an assistant for yourself?" ”

Gu Huanxi said "um".

"Let them help you take care of your business?"

"You don't think it's appropriate?"

Xu Huaiyi shook his head, "Not really, but what their character is, it remains to be seen, as for ability, it is easy to do, not at the moment, we can teach ......"

Gu Huanxi understood what he meant, "Don't worry, I don't dare to say that I have insight into people's hearts, but there are seven or eight points accurate to see people, these four, there is no big problem with character, one is good at female popularity, and someone will take care of the sewing and mending at home in the future, one follows Wei Ci to learn cooking, and the other is called Shui Xing, looking at the clever and generous, I want her to help me read the account books and manage the outside business in the future, as for the youngest one, let Wei Ci train for a few days, and then follow our family." ”

Xu Huaiyi had no objection to other people's arrangements, he only followed his own daughter, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you talking about the little girl who looks at six or seven years old?" ”

"Well, the eyes are big, and it looks a little silly, but, the long is pleasant, a smile, and there are two dimples on the face, I asked on the Zhuangzi, she originally had a younger brother under her head, and she has always taken care of it, and later when she fled the famine, her father was gone, and her grandmother kicked out their mother and daughter, leaving only her grandson." Gu Huanxi knew what he was worried about, and explained a few more words, "I have tried, she is quite experienced in taking care of children, teasing Ah Li, she is decent, she is not hand-born at all, how the child eats and drinks for a few months, how to increase or decrease clothes, she also said the Tao." ”

Xu Huaiyi still didn't feel at ease, "Don't be in a hurry first, let's take a look at it." ”

Gu Huanxi glanced at him with disgust, "Don't worry, I'm my mother-in-law, can my own daughter-in-law all fake her hands?" Wouldn't I just ask? ”

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi hurriedly coaxed a few words and changed the subject, "In the afternoon, I want to visit Mr. Jiang, what do you think?" ”

Gu Huanxi groaned, "It can be, but wouldn't it be too abrupt to just come to the door like this?" In these years, for these exquisite literati, they have to post in advance when they come to visit, and they are regarded as evil guests. ”

Xu Huaiyi thought for a while, "Then I'll go to him for advice and disaster relief?" ”

Gu Huanxi shook his head, "It's not suitable." ”

"What else should I do? Xiaoyu is in the academy, there are only a few things he can learn, I can teach him martial arts and self-defense, but the rest, we are not good at it, the children of the royal family, we have been exposed to elite education since childhood, those things, we can't reach them, in front of us, there is only one Jiang Yong who can use it, and I have to take him down if I say anything. ”

Gu Huanxi glanced at him speechlessly, "How do you take it?" Coercion or inducement? ”

Xu Huaiyi said tentatively, "A two-pronged approach? ”

"You don't want to invite Mr. Xiaoyu, you want to make a feud against our family, right?"

"Hey, just kidding......"

In the end, the two discussed, first invite people to come to the house for dinner, in the name of it, or to ask for disaster relief, not only invite Jiang Yong, but also add Dr. Jiao, so that there is room for each other, if Jiang Yong refuses, it means that people are unwilling to come and go, then there is no hope for the rest of the matter, if it should be a meal, it is to be able to fight for it.

After taking a nap, Xu Huaiyi took his cloak and went out of the door, and walked outside Dr. Jiao's courtyard, the gate was not closed, he stepped in directly, and shouted loudly, "Doctor Jiao!" ”

Dr. Jiao lives alone, he doesn't even want to use a small house, the yard is very quiet, but it is not desolate, and the medicinal materials are dried around, which makes people have a sense of abundance in autumn.

"Huaiyi, why are you here?" Doctor Jiao heard the movement and came out of the house, as soon as the cold wind blew, he couldn't help but shiver, and when he saw that he was holding a burden in his hand, he asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

Xu Huaiyi smiled, "Good things, go, go in and open it for you to take a look." ”

The two entered the house, Xu Huaiyi unwrapped the baggage, took out the vest inside and handed it to him, "You put it on and try it first." ”

Doctor Jiao took it and took a closer look, but he was not polite, he put it on his body directly, and he immediately noticed the difference on his upper body, and couldn't help but walk out of the house and take a turn, and then came back, smiling from ear to ear, "This vest is good, it looks light and thin, but it is wind-resistant, it is really warm, standing outside, I don't feel cold at all." ”

Xu Huaiyi explained, "The head here is the duck feathers, the batch of duck feathers on the Zhuangzi has just been processed, and they haven't had time to make clothes, otherwise they will give you a complete set, you wear this vest first, and I will let someone give you cotton pants and cotton jackets in a few days, and that thing is worn, you are in the mountains, and you are not afraid of freezing." ”

Doctor Jiao nodded happily, "Okay, okay, then the old man will be cheeky and wait." ”

"You're welcome? We ate in a pot along the way, and besides, you still have a life-saving grace for my daughter-in-law, which is not something that can be repaid by a set of clothes. ”

"Oh, what are you going to do in return?"

Knowing that he was joking, Xu Huaiyi said seriously, "Why can't you do one set a year." ”

Doctor Jiao was amused, "You, you made the old man so happy, what do you want to ask the old man to help with?" Let's say, as long as the old man can do it, it is not impossible to agree to a dress every year in the future. ”

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi's heart moved, pondering the friendship between Dr. Jiao and Jiang Yong, whether it was possible to help him with a personal favor, if it could, then the plan he originally discussed with his daughter-in-law could be abandoned, and Dr. Jiao came forward, naturally better than him to speak.

Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Dr. Jiao became curious, "What do you want to ask the old man for help?" With your current ability, is there anything you can't solve? ”

When Xu Huaiyi heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "You always lift me up, what can I do, but you are sharp-eyed, and you can't hide anything from you, so can I say it directly?" ”

"Well, let's hear about it."

"What do you think, why don't I ask Mr. Jiang to teach my little fish to read?"

Hearing this, Dr. Jiao's expression didn't change, obviously not surprised, "Mr. Jiang is only eight years tall and has five cars, if you can ask him to be a gentleman, it will naturally be a good thing to ask for." ”

"Do you really think so?"

"Of course, Mr. Jiang is not only a talented learner, but also has a noble character, if he is willing to teach Xiaoyu, it is the luck of Xiaoyu."

Xu Huaiyi nodded, "I think so too, although I don't know much about him, but it seems that he has a kind of superior demeanor in him......"

When Dr. Jiao heard this, he didn't hold back and laughed again, and after the laughter stopped, he teased, "You really don't know him?" ”

Xu Huaiyi said seriously, "I really don't understand!" ”
