On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, the old scholar Tang Xiaode asked his grandson Tang Wenbo to send a sentence: I am willing to come to the Tang Family East Courtyard to be a teacher.

The old scholar Tang Xiaode's commitment to teaching in the Tang family compound became the biggest news in Changzhou City. Many people are thinking: Tang Xiaode still took a fancy to Shen's wish, and asked him to take his grandson Tang Wenbo and Tianyou to learn martial arts at home, and manage Qianguo Wharf together when they grow up.

In fact, how many people know that it is his own expectation that the old scholar is committed to being a teacher in the Tang family compound, and it is an impulse that sprouted in his heart when he first knew that Tang Qianzhi was concentrating on cultivation without asking about the world. He wanted to come to the Tang family in Qianguo Lane to give them a little support, a little help, and maintain the basic dignity of the Tang family in the rivers and lakes.

However, there was a big question in Tang Xiaode's heart, could it be a coincidence that the Tang family in Qianguo Lane came to invite him and asked him to be a master to maintain the status of Qianguo Lane? Or was it a chance coincidence that the mysterious all-knowing old lady and his aunt in the Tang family's compound felt this spiritual turmoil of his own and did it intentionally? If so, that old aunt was not a human being, a god, or a ghost? Tang Xiaode shuddered when he thought of this.

The old pedant's dedication to the Tang family's East Courtyard as a teacher undoubtedly played a role in fixing the sea god needle for the Tang family in Qianguo Lane in the stormy weather, and the Tang family was naturally excited.

Considering that Wang Er was injured, Tang Fu went to the old Wang's house next door to spread the word, and after August and a half, he moved, and Tianyou went to study in another courtyard on August 21.

On August 19, there was no movement at the old Wang's house next door. Early in the morning of the 20th, Tang Fu came next door to check the situation.

Lao Wang was about to go out, and when he saw the housekeeper, he immediately bowed down and said hello: "The housekeeper came just in time, I was about to ask a carriage to help us move, we poor people have few things, and we move quickly, it's good in the morning, I'll clean it in the afternoon, and the second young master can move over tomorrow." ”

Tang Fu: "Okay, thank you. Just tell me what else you need to move. ”

Lao Wang: "Don't, don't, I did it alone." ”

Suddenly, Jiao ran out of the back hall, ran to the butler Tang Fu, fell to his knees with a "bang", hugged the butler's thigh, let go of his throat and cried.

What children are still young and ignorant, and I have no way to teach my children, it's all my fault. Our family has no credit to the Tang family and still works hard, I hope the housekeeper will not drive us away in the past, we are willing to make cattle and horses for the Tang family in the other garden.

Jiao's crying and crying alarmed everyone in the Tang family's compound, and there were many onlookers in the alley.

Tianyou and Xiaochun walk over, and Wen Ting pulls Fluttershy over as well.

The old lady heard the cry and ordered Mrs. Shen to come and investigate.

Mrs. Shen saw Jiao's crying so sadly, so she had to say good words: "Mrs. Wang, I hope you understand, didn't we say it was okay last time? A few days ago, I asked Tang Fu to help you clean the house in Hualong Lane, and also helped you buy new furniture, all these old kings know?"

Jiao's: "Madam, the poor woman Jiao's dare not be called Madame, please don't torture the small one." I know that the second young master is not in good health and has to study at home, and there is not enough space, so I am willing to move out and let the second young master study in the other garden with peace of mind. However, madam, you know the situation of my family, my old Wang is an honest person, busy on the dock all day long, although my son is not sensible, but after all, it is still the hope of the whole family, I also hope that he will learn literature and martial arts in the ancestral hall, if he moves to Hualong Lane and lives in the city, my old king has to rush back and forth, and it is not convenient for his son to study. My son is no longer sensible, if he doesn't study hard anymore and loses his education, what will our old Wang family do in the future?"

"Woo woo woo" Jiao began to cry again.

"Jiao's is a typical-stirring stick, and I don't know what kind of tricks to come out of", Wen Ting thought so, and opened her mouth to say, "Then what do you mean......"

She was about to say something, but she felt Fluttershy pull her hand and wink at her, Wen Ting didn't understand what she meant, thinking that it might be a reminder that adults should not interject, and took back what she should have said.

Mrs. Shen is a kind-hearted person, a kind-hearted person who has no opinions, and when she saw Jiao so sad, she asked, "How is it good?

Jiao Shi listened to the accent with hope, wiped his tears and said, "I have an idea, I wonder if Madame agrees?"

Mrs. Shen: "Let's hear it." ”

Jiao's: "If we move out, we will definitely move out and make room for the second young master to study." However, the second young master is studying during the day, and he wants to live back in the Tang family's compound at night. I think, we don't want the house in Hualong Lane, we don't want a hundred taels of silver, the second young master studies during the day, we stay in the ancestral hall, my son studies there, my daughter and I guard the door there, we come back at night to live in the other garden, we live in the wing room, the living room and the main house for his uncle to live, what do I need to do in the east courtyard of the Tang family, be on call, what do you think, madam?"

"This, this ......," Mrs. Shen didn't know how to answer.

Tianyou is also a soft-hearted person, seeing Jiao's crying so sadly, and speaking very reasonably, he hurriedly interjected: "Okay, mother, so be it, if she is happy to stay in the other garden during the day, I don't need such a big yard to study." ”

Jiao Shi hurriedly ran over and walked in front of the second young master and bowed his head: "Second young master bodhisattva, no wonder my girl keeps praising you!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd spat out: "He likes your girl too." The speaker exhaled like an orchid, and his voice was soft, but it had penetrated through the cacophony and into his ears. Wen Ting followed the voice and glanced at Fluttershy, and when she saw Fluttershy sticking out her tongue, Wen Ting smiled, took her hand and said, "Let's go, you're going to be unhappy if you see too much." ”

Fluttershy doesn't say anything and walks back.

Wen Ting: "Tell me, why did you pull me just now?"

Fluttershy smiled, "I just think that there are things that can't be taken at face value, and they can't spoil the old lady's ......"

Wen Ting: "What's the old lady's deal?"

Fluttershy smiled, "The mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind." The movement is so big, knowing that your mother is soft-hearted and soft-eared, and the old lady also asked the old lady to send your mother over, don't you think there is a problem? Hurry up and go, don't spoil the good thing. ”

Wen Ting: "What do you mean, tell me clearly." ”

Fluttershy runs back to the Tang family's east courtyard.

Slowly, the people have dispersed.

Lao Wang closed the door and pulled Jiao Shi to the back, and asked as he walked: "Tell me, what kind of moth do you come up with?"

Jiao Shi smiled: "Didn't you say don't want to be greedy for the Tang family's wealth, I did it? I don't want the Tang family's money, isn't it?"

Lao Wang: "Bah, I believe you? You are so greedy for money, will you want the hundred taels of silver you have in your hand, ghost believe! Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

Jiao's: "Let me tell you, it makes sense that I didn't move a few days ago, Steward Liang of Zheng Dashan's family in Wanliu Lane came, let's find a way not to move, all the losses they are out, they were only willing to pay two hundred taels, hahaha, yesterday gave me five hundred taels, asked us to live here, help them inquire about the Tang family, or that sentence, there is good news and thank you, you see, what a good opportunity to make a fortune." ”

Lao Wang: "Fart, this kind of money is unacceptable." Give it back!"

Jiao's: "You just fart, five hundred taels of silver, you can't earn it back in your life, and you don't want to kill people and set fires, where can you find such a good thing?

Lao Wang: "Don't care, you just have something to do and run to Tang's house, tell me what you see and hear, and I'll do the rest, and let you eat and drink spicy food." ”
