wind and rain scissors shop

Chapter 135-135.
Wu Xiangrong frowned: "Tian Erya, are you crazy? You still want to dress like Hua Mulan and mix with men."

Tian Erya flattened her mouth: "I am thick and strong, and I am not shorter than ordinary men. As long as you are careful, pretending to be a man will not show your feet."

At this moment, a man walked towards the Maji sword shop and saw Wu Xiangrong cupped his hands: "Mr. Wu, well, I have time to sit in the small shop. Our boss has brought some good tea, and I invite you to appreciate it."

"I'll talk about it later. Boss Ma, let me introduce someone to you first. She is Tian Erya. See if there is still a shortage of staff in the store."

Tian Erya looked at Boss Ma expectantly.

Boss Ma looked embarrassed: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Wu, all the people in my sword shop are men. It's really inconvenient for her to be a girl."

Wu Xiangrong said good things: "I know it's not easy for you, so please take the time to accommodate me. Her skill in forging scissors is extraordinary, and she is considered a leader in the industry."

Boss Ma looked at Tian Erya, with a shrewd light in his eyes: "Girl, as long as you pass on the technology of forging scissors to us, I can hire you as the shopkeeper." Tian Erya flatly refused: "I don't know how to teach skill."

"Are you afraid that someone will learn it and compete with you?"

"No." Tian Erya shook her head: "If I really want to spread the skills I learned in Zheng's family to the outside world, it should be done by Zheng's family, and I can't reveal half of it."

Boss Ma apologized with a smile: "Such a principled girl must also be stubborn. Mr. Wu, it's not for me to refute your face. I'm really afraid that those big blacksmiths and guys in my shop will offend this girl, and then the shop will piss her off." trouble."

Wu Xiangrong waved his hand, and Boss Ma left quickly.

Tian Erya suddenly realized: "It turns out that their family's plan to hire me as a master is not fake, but it is true that they want to steal art."

"You're not stupid." Wu Xiangrong patted her face, "There's no room for you here, don't worry, I'll find another place for you."

Tian Erya politely declined: "Thank you, Young Master Wu. I think this place is very prosperous. As long as there are people, there must be people buying scissors. I can just find a place to stay."

"Don't be brave." Wu Xiangrong didn't expect her to come to a strange place like the provincial capital, asking for trouble without relying on help.

"There is no unparalleled road, there is always a way." Tian Erya was very optimistic.

Wu Xiangrong thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Han from Hanhai Academy lives near here, because all the students he taught, including Zheng Yuansheng, were involved in the fraud case of scientific examinations, and he was deeply shocked. He resigned from his position as a teacher in the academy and was bedridden at home. He has a daughter who has married to another country, and he and the old lady are the only ones in the family. I am about to buy him a maid to serve them, or you can go to their house first, live in their house, and help them wash and wash."

"Okay!" Tian Erya heard that she was Zheng Yuansheng's master, so she couldn't wish for it.

"Let's go!" Wu Xiangrong got on his horse and reached out to her.

Tian Erya shook her head: "Didn't you say it's very close? I'll walk over."

"I think you don't want to ride on the same horse with me. You just want to avoid suspicion." Wu Xiangrong got off the horse again, without any explanation, unloaded her bamboo basket, and lifted her onto the horse.

"Put me down quickly, I don't know how to ride a horse." Tian Erya lay on the horse's back in fear.

"Grab the reins and clamp the horse's belly tightly." Wu Xiangrong slapped the horse's buttocks, and the horse rushed forward like an arrow off the line.

Tian Erya grasped the stiff rope with all her strength, controlled the direction, and prevented the horse from colliding with others. He heard the wind whistling by his ears, and after a while, he finally stopped the horse.

Wu Xiangrong caught up and smiled: "You're running well! You have a very high level of comprehension, and you can learn it as soon as you learn it."

Tian Erya exhaled and jumped off the horse: "Where is my bamboo basket? Where did you put it for me?"

"threw."

"Where did you throw it?" Tian Erya turned pale with shock.

Wu Xiangrong laughed loudly: "Don't worry if you're so flustered. I asked Maji Sword Shop to help you sell scissors, and you can collect the money later."

"You are adding to the chaos, can someone sell it to me for free? There must be a fee."

"I feel sorry for the money, don't worry, I have already rewarded them."

Tian Erya was surprised: "Mr. Wu, why do you help me like this?"

"You look pitiful." Wu Xiangrong ruffled her hair.

"I will be self-reliant and don't need your pity. If you really have this compassion, give money to the homeless beggars on the street!"

"It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know a good heart." Wu Xiangrong's face sank, and he rode his horse and turned directly to the alley.

Tian Erya didn't understand why he changed his face, so he hurried to catch up.

Wu Xiangrong came to a closed brown door and knocked a few times.

The door opened, and an old lady showed her head: "It's Xiang Rong! Come in quickly."

"Teacher, how is the teacher?"

"It's much better. Fortunately, you invited a doctor to fetch medicine and send supplements, so the teacher's health has improved a lot."

Wu Xiangrong pointed to Tian Erya behind him: "Master, her name is Tian Erya, and she will stay at the house to take care of you during this time, cooking and washing your clothes."

"Are you Tian Erya?" The old lady was taken aback for a moment, then immediately refused: "Xiang Rong, this is not good, we really can't afford to hire people."

"Don't worry, she doesn't need wages, she just lives here, you can take care of food and housing."

The old lady sighed: "You kid can really talk. We can provide him with a simple room at most. The food and supplies in this house depend on you to send them over every three days."

Wu Xiangrong said with a smile: "Mr. taught me homework, and I can be regarded as half of his student. You don't have to be polite to me."

"Sir, it's a blessing to have a student like you, but it's a pity..."

"Master, don't be sad." Wu Xiangrong turned his head and told Tian Erya, "Don't mention Zheng Yuansheng and the imperial examination in front of the teacher. You talk less here and do more. Try not to go out to inquire about news. I will help you here Pay attention, as soon as there is news, someone will notify you as soon as possible.”

"I know."

Wu Xiangrong took a look into the room: "Teacher's wife, let the teacher come out for a walk when you have time, you can't stay in the room all the time."

"You know, he placed a lot of hopes on the group of talents who will take the scientific examination this year, thinking that he will finally cultivate a champion in his lifetime. But his favorite students Zheng Yuansheng and Shan Daquan were involved in the scientific examination fraud case, he Knowing that these people are wronged, but unable to save them, all I can do is weep secretly."

"That's why, teacher's wife should advise the teacher to relax! I have other things to do later, so I will leave first. Erya, you stay here and take good care of the teacher and teacher's wife."

"Okay." Tian Erya agreed crisply.

The old lady watched Wu Xiangrong leave, and looked at Tian Erya: "Did you come to the provincial capital to inquire about Zheng Yuansheng?"

"Correct."

The old lady sighed: "Erya, if you have such a heart, it is not in vain that Zheng Yuansheng once showed affection to you."

"Ah?" Tian Erya was taken aback, "Do you know what happened between me and him?"
