Fierce “Husband”

Shao Yunan, who was very irresponsible, left a mess and went home, and the two children in the family didn't know it yet. Back home, Wang Qing and Wang Ni were writing in the house, Guo Ziyu was guiding them, and Guo Zimu was washing clothes. Seeing the two, Guo Zimu immediately stood up. Seeing that his hands were red from the cold, Shao Yunan asked Wang Shijing to boil hot water, and said, "I and Brother Jing's and I can wash the clothes at home by ourselves, while Brother Qing'er and Nizi's, you can help wash them, Nizi. She washes her own clothes. When the family finds a woman to work, she will wash it."

Guo Zimu lowered his head slightly. He was a bit introverted at first, but he became even more introverted after his family's accident, and he didn't like to show his face. Now his face is clean, and he has been a beggar for several years, and he doesn't know how to show his true face.

"I don't have much work to do. I can do it. I'll leave Nizi's underwear to her."

Shao Yunan patted him to let him relax, and said, "Brother Jing and I's clothes, Brother Jing is used to his washing, so I'm not being polite to you. You just try to be your own home. Can you make pasta?"

Guo Zimu nodded. He is good-looking, and his mother and brother are protecting him, but because his family is poor, he will do whatever he needs to do, and he has never been arrogant just because he looks good.

Shao Yunan said, "I don't know how to make pasta. In this way, you can make pasta at home in the future, and Brother Jing can also use his hands."

"Okay!" Guo Zimu felt much more at ease if he could do it himself.

"I'm going to make some snacks in a while, you help me."

"Okay!" Guo Zimu raised his head slightly, with a needed peace of mind on his face.

Wang Shijing boiled water and chopped wood. Shao Yunan entered the house of the two brothers, where he heard that Guo Ziyu, who had returned, was about to get off the kang, and was stopped by Shao Yunan. Shao Yunan walked over and sat down, and said to Wang Qing and Wang Ni, "Uncle Da Guo is a scholar. Because of an accident at home, he ended up here. He didn't take the test again. If you don't understand, you should ask Uncle Da Guo more."

The two children looked at Guo Ziyu with a lot of admiration in an instant, and Guo Ziyu's face was burning. Shao Yunan turned to Guo Ziyu: "Brother Guo, you and second brother Guo should try to treat this place as their own home. When I go to the county town in the afternoon, I will go to my elder brother, tell him about your affairs, and let him inquire about the situation over there. condition."

Guo Ziyu's expression changed, and he saluted when he got off the kang: "Thank you, thank you."

"It's all said to treat this place as your own home, don't be so polite to us." Pushing Guo Ziyu back, Shao Yun'an said, "When we move, there will be more things for you to do. These two children in my family have eaten too. A lot of hardships. Brother Jing went out for three years before, and it was not long after he came back. The two children have a good life. I will trouble Brother Guo to worry more in the future. Brother Qing has a late enlightenment, and he will go to a private school in the spring of next year. , you should give him more pointers before that."

Guo Ziyu swore and said, "Don't worry. Although I'm not talented, I will teach Qing Ge'er what I can teach him." Just now, he and his younger brother were still wondering why the two children had so many calluses on their hands. The family is also in trouble.

"Dad, I will work hard." Wang Qing also swore.

Shao Yunan rubbed his head: "It's okay to work hard, but don't read yourself as a nerd. Dean Cen of the county school owns a private school called Baiyue Academy. Dean Cen wants you to study at Baiyue Academy on the first day of February next year. From today onwards, you go to Dean Cen's place every afternoon, and Dean Cen will give you a supplementary lesson in person. Nizi's daughter-in-law has also been found, and she is Dean Cen's wife. Nizi follows others to learn the piano, and she goes there every two days. Go back. Both of you should listen to the words of President Cen and Mrs. Cen, and don't be lazy."

Guo Ziyu's expression was shocked, and the two children hadn't reacted. After a while, Wang Qing screamed and jumped over, and Wang Ni screamed and jumped on her little dad.

"Dad! Can I learn the piano?!"

"Well, our girl is going to be a talented girl."

"Little Daddy, is that the very powerful dean of the county school teaching me?"

"Yes, you have to fight for little dad."

"Daddy!"

In the yard, listening to the screams of the children, Wang Shijing raised the corner of his mouth slightly and split the firewood one by one. Guo Zimu was also very surprised, Dean Cen? Shao Xiaoge can actually let Dean Cen of the county school admit his children to school and teach them in person? Guo Zimu was once again full of curiosity and doubts about the owner of this farmyard, what kind of person is this, what kind of family is this?

Wang Qing and Wang Ni also cried and laughed. For Wang Qing, this news has an extraordinarily different meaning. The uncle was not able to enter Baiyue Academy, but he could go.

After finally coaxing the two children to calm down a little, someone knocked on the door. Zhao Yuande and Zhao He brought Zhao Congbo, and Wang Shuping brought Wang Yan over. The hands of the two families were full of things. Zhao Congbo and Wang Yan came in to kowtow to Shao Yunan again, but were pulled up by Wang Shijing.

The two families came to thank Shao Yunan for their advice. This is going to see the dean, what is appropriate to bring, and this bundle of repairs, if Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan say that they don't need to give it, they will treat it as none. Shao Yunan introduced Guo Ziyu and only said that he hired two brothers to work. Knowing that Guo Zimu didn't like seeing people, Shao Yunan invited the family to his and Wang Shijing's room.

The Shu Xiu on President Cen's side really didn't need to give extra money. Zhao He and Wang Shuping put the money directly in front of Shao Yunan and asked him to collect it. Shao Yunan pushed the silver back and told the family not to worry, he gave his reasons. Dean Cen's willingness to accept three children is more than money, so Shao Yunan will not give this money to the dean. And his family was not short of money, so he brought Zhao Congbo and Wang Yan along with them. If you feel bad about it, just help his family accumulate some sauerkraut, make some pickles, and make some bacon or something every year from now on. Dean Cen doesn't need to give money, but there are some special products at home, such as the harvested mountain products, the food you make yourself, the eggs laid by the chickens at home, and the jam you make, which are given to Dean Cen during the festivals. Some past expressions of gratitude.

Like today's first meeting with a teacher, Zhao He can bring a few bottles of hawthorn sauce and red jujube **** sauce; Wang Shuping can bring two chickens, a basket of eggs, and then change the child's clean and tidy clothes. In the afternoon, Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan took the children over, and they didn't have to follow.

Zhao Yuandev and Wang Shuping are grateful, which is even more grateful than Shao Yunan's recipe for making money for them. Wang Qing, Zhao Congbo, and Wang Yan study together every day, and they are familiar with each other. This time they can go to Baiyue Academy together to study, and the three children are happy and feel a little more at ease.

After sending off the thankful two families, Shao Yunan went to the kitchen. Although he had given gifts yesterday, he was going to pay his respects today, so he still had to give a gift. It may not be expensive, but you have to be intentional. Shao Yunan called Guo Zimu to fight, and Guo Ziyu taught the two children how to bow and behave when they saw the master.

Shao Yunan planned to still make glutinous rice, this time making glutinous rice cakes. In addition to red bean paste, the prepared fillings also include black sesame seeds, peanut kernels, and goat milk jam. The glutinous rice cake wrapped in a layer of shredded coconut is the best. There is it in the space. Shao Yunan couldn't take it out and use it, so he thought of another way. Cut potatoes into slices and fry them up.

To make glutinous rice dumplings, glutinous rice flour is used, Guo Zimu uses a stone mill to grind flour, Shao Yunan prepares fillings in the kitchen, black sesame seeds are boiled with maltose, and peanut kernels are fried and crushed. Shao Yunan thought that he had to go to the county to find out if there was any honey in the space. There was a lot of honey in the space. He could buy some honey in the space and eat it.

After Guo Zimu had finished grinding the glutinous rice flour Shao Yunan needed, Shao Yunan put the glutinous rice flour into a wooden basin, put oil and water and stirred it. It would be better if there was milk. After stirring, steam it in a pot, then cool the stuffing, and coat it with potato chips.

Guo Zimu watched carefully and studied hard, but he felt very fresh. After Shao Yunan wrapped a glutinous rice dumpling, let Guo Zimu start it together. While the two were wrapping up, Shao Yunan started talking about glutinous rice cakes. Guo Zimu had never eaten either of these, and when Shao Yunan said how to make glutinous rice cakes, he couldn't help swallowing. This kind of dessert is a small case for Shao Yunan. He can't make pasta, but he can make bread, snacks and cakes. Who told him that he likes to make it, and there is a sister-in-law who is keen on this.

When all the fillings were used up, Shao Yunan picked up a glutinous rice cake and fed it to Guo Zimu's mouth: "Try it."

Guo Zimu blushed, his lips moved, and finally he couldn't resist the temptation to open his mouth. After being a beggar for seven years, during which he worked as a beggar for more than four years, how could he resist such a temptation.

The glutinous rice cake Shao Yunan didn't do much, Guo Zimu ate one in one mouthful, biting through the soft glutinous skin, and the fragrant sesame seeds came out immediately, Guo Zimu's eyes were red.

"tasty."

Shao Yunan pretended not to see the tears in Guo Zimu's eyes, and said, "We will eat a few of each, and give the rest of the afternoon to Dean Cen. This thing is not difficult to make, and I will make it often when I want to eat it."

"Um!"

Shao Yunan divided six of each flavor, exactly one per person, and let Guo Zimu take them into the house. Wang Qing and Wang Ni had a good time again. Like Guo Zimu, Guo Ziyu couldn't help but turn red after eating the first glutinous rice cake. Shao Yunan put all the rest into the food box. It was cold today, and the glutinous rice cake tasted better when eaten cold.

"Dad, how do you do this? Is it the same as glutinous rice cake?" Nizi asked with bright eyes.

"Almost. This one needs to grind the glutinous rice into powder first. It's easier to make than glutinous rice cake."

"I want to learn!"

"Yes. But it will wait until after your apprenticeship."

"Uh-huh."

Looking at the interaction between the two children and Shao Yunan, Guo Ziyu and Guo Zimu were very curious. At first glance, Wang Qing and Wang Ni could not have been born to Shao Yunan, but the two children were so close to Shao Yunan. In the future, when Guo Ziyu and Guo Zimu learned about the situation of this family, they admired Shao Yunan a lot more.

After lunch, Zhao Yuande and Wang Shuping brought the child over in person. Zhao Congbo and Wang Yan looked very nervous. The two children put on their new clothes for the New Year. Wang Qing and Nizi were also very nervous, but with their little father by their side, they were a little better. To reassure Zhao Yuande and Wang Shuping, Shao Yunan took the four children into the carriage, and Wang Shijing drove.

Along the way, Shao Yunan was comforting the four children, telling them to be generous when they saw the Master, and don't be afraid if you can't answer the questions the Master asked, just say no. It's okay to be ashamed, if you don't know how to pretend to understand or cheat and play tricks, then it's bad. People like Master Cen have seen more people than they have eaten. Don't play tricks in front of Master, and be honest. The four children nodded again and again, and were not so nervous anymore.

When he arrived at Master Cen's mansion, Wang Shijing knocked on the door. As soon as the gatekeeper saw Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan, he let them in without a word. The carriage was handed over to the gatekeeper to park. Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan took the four children and followed the boy who led the way. The four children were nervous again. Shao Yunan held Wang Qing and Wang Ni, and Wang Shijing held Zhao Congbo and Wang Yan.

When I came to the main hall, I saw that Master Cen and an old lady were already sitting in the upper seat. Shao Yunan saluted: "Old Cen, Madam."

Mrs. Cen smiled kindly at Shao Yunan and the children. Elder Cen asked the four children to come over. The four children were pushed forward by Shao Yunan and knelt down: "Master Dean, Madam."

"Get up."

The four children stood up and bowed their heads. Mrs. Cen said, "Nizi, right, come here."

Shao Yunan took the nervous Nizi over and handed out the food box in his hand: "Here are some snacks I made."

Mrs. Cen accepted it, but did not open it. She held Nizi's hand and stood up: "Tell me, our female relatives will avoid it first."

Old Cen nodded to his wife, and Shao Yunan also gave Nizi an encouraging look, and Nizi quietly followed Madam Cen away.

Old Cen then waved to Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing: "If you have anything to do, just go. The children stay, and I will test them first. You will pick them up in two hours."

"It's hard to get old, and Brother Jing and I have something to do." Shao Yunan patted the heads of the three children, "Listen to the words of the dean, and be polite."

"Yes."

Touching Wang Qing's head again, Shao Yunan left with Wang Shijing. Leaving Cen Mansion, Wang Shijing asked worriedly, "Is there no problem?"

"No. Elder Cen estimates that it depends on their learning situation, and then chooses the scale of teaching. There is no need to worry about Mrs. Cen. The four children are not unreasonable. "

When Shao Yunan said this, Wang Shijing was relieved.

The two of them didn't go to the street, they went to Yizhangxuan to find the shopkeeper Xu, conveyed the meaning of the fourth uncle's house and the uncle Yinzi's house, and also expressed his opinion. The attitude of the two families over this morning already made Manager Xu guess that the possibility of this matter is unlikely. As soon as Shao Yunan's suggestion came out, he immediately agreed. Wang Shijing went and called Fourth Uncle and Qiu Shu to negotiate a good price with Shopkeeper Xu and signed the contract. According to the different parts of pork, the price per catty is also different, anyway, it will not let the two families suffer.

After drinking tea for a while at Yizhang Xuan and Shopkeeper Xu, the two insisted on buying five cakes and five portions of meat at the original price at Uncle Qiu’s stall and went to the county office. Jiang Kangning was on trial, and the two were waiting for him in the backyard, and asked the servant to bring the cake and meat to the kitchen to heat. When Jiang Kangning came back after finishing the case, Shao Yunan went to the kitchen to get him two roujia buns. There was coriander in the kitchen, and he also added some coriander.

There were only three people, Jiang Kangning, who had not eaten breakfast, asked Shao Yunan to soak him in Longjing and served it with Roujiamo, so that he could fill his stomach. Shao Yunan came this time for the Guo brothers. Hearing Shao Yunan talking about the Guo family brothers, Jiang Kangning wiped his mouth and said, "I have heard of this Rong Zhifu. I don't know if the emperor has dealt with him now, but he will be dealt with sooner or later. You let the Guo family Brothers, stay at ease, I don't dare to talk about other places now, but they are absolutely safe in Chinan House. The prefect of Chinan House is my senior brother."

Shao Yunan smiled: "I'm afraid the elder brother's brothers are all over the country of Dayan."

Jiang Kangning did not deny it, and said, "I used to be the magistrate in Huai'an County, and I was also in the Chinan House. The teacher first asked my senior brother to take care of me, and secondly, I also hoped that I would make some achievements to help senior brother. That Yang Tianwei I will know. Ask someone to inquire. If Guo Ziyu wants to continue his scientific research, he can go back, or he can transfer his household registration to your Xiushui Village. After you go back, ask him what he means. As for going back, don't be afraid.

After the war at the border was over, the emperor was focused on rectifying the administration of officials, and the likes of Rong Zhifu and Yang Tianwei were afraid that it would become more and more difficult. The two of them had been on the run for seven years, so Yang Tianwei would not stare at them for so long. As long as Guo Ziyu can be admitted to Juren, even Rong Zhifu can't act recklessly. If Guo Ziyu is still worried, he only needs to sign a deed of prostitution with you, and then he can transfer his household registration to Xiushui Village. If you cancel the deed of prostitution with him, he will become a native of Xiushui Village. "

Shao Yunan: "Thank you eldest brother, the two of them can live a steady life like this."

Jiang Kangning continued: "I will go to the capital soon, don't expose the tea and goat milk wine before I come back. I am not afraid of others, I am afraid that the old man will hear the wind. Before this matter is confirmed , must not let others interfere."

"I understand. I only gave this tea and wine to you and Elder Cen. Now that there are outsiders at home, I won't take them out, and the two children won't talk nonsense."

"That's fine."

The two wanted to wait for the children, so they stayed with Jiang Kangning. Jiang Kangning and Shao Yunan discussed in detail how to do this tea and wine business. The more he listened, the more Jiang Kangning felt that Shao Yunan was a businessman. It's a pity that Shao Yunan is not interested in being a big businessman like the big boss behind the scenes of Yizhang Xuan. He just wants to earn enough money to make the family's life worry-free, and then enjoy life.

Tea, wine, and tea accessories (refreshments, tea food, and tea utensils) are the focus of Jiang Kangning's visit to Beijing. As the first and only share of the entire Dayan Kingdom, the business opportunities here are enormous. If you do it well, let alone Shao Yunan can make a lot of money, Jiang Kangning's political performance will increase by how much.

The time is almost up, and Jiang Kangning also talked about the same, Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing went to pick up the child. When he arrived at Cen's mansion, seeing the smile on Old Cen's face, and seeing the bright eyes in Wang Qing, Zhao Congbo, and Wang Yan, Shao Yunan smiled, and there is absolutely no problem with this. Not to mention Nizi, the performance of the three children was indeed beyond Cen's expectations, especially some of the three children's thoughts were surprising. Cen learned that Shao Yunan would tell them idiom stories and some fairy tales to make them They thought, and he understood. Old Cen wasn't not curious about the things in Shao Yunan's head, but he didn't ask more.

When Nizi was led out, her face was flushed, but she was in good spirits. Mrs. Cen personally led Nizi out and told Shao Yun that Anzi had a talent for learning the piano, and it was good to start learning now. Later, when Nizi came to learn the piano, she also followed Mrs. Cen to learn calligraphy and read. Shao Yunan immediately asked Nizi to kneel and kowtow. Mrs. Cen has officially accepted Nizi as her apprentice.

This adoption of disciples is a big deal at any time. Elder Cen was also very blunt, saying that five days later would be a good day, so he let Nizi officially apprentice on that day, and also officially gave Nizi a big name on that day. Wang Shijing stood aside, watching Shao Yunan holding Nizi to thank Old Cen and Mrs. Cen, one eye was dark.
