The peasant girl in Space is the group favorite

Chapter 164
Xu Wenwu stopped him and said, "Fifth brother, what are you talking about? I will naturally handle the affairs of the academy myself, so don't worry about it by speaking out."

Wang said: "Wen Wu, aren't we more worried when you are like this? Has something happened? You should tell me!"

But this time it was Xu Zhiyong who spoke: "It's nothing. It's just that the eldest brother is very popular with the master and the others in the academy. He is also the No. 1 student. There are two people who are jealous and often play tricks and say some unpleasant things. But Big Brother ignored them."

"Then have you told Master?" the old man asked.

"No, don't bother Master with this little matter. They can't make big trouble. But what's even more annoying is that they actually encouraged other students to alienate Big Brother. But the others were smart and didn't take their words to heart. .”

"Hey! Even though this is the case, you still have to be careful! You must be on guard, otherwise you will suffer a loss if you are not careful!" said the old man.

"Grandpa, be careful! If we let them know that we know Kung Fu, no matter how much courage they have, they won't dare to cause trouble with us! But my sister said that we know Kung Fu and try not to let more people know about it. I I didn’t beat him up." Xiao Wu said.

The old man said to Xiao Wu: "I'm worried about your other brothers, but I'm a little worried about your temper. You're too careless in doing things!"

"Those children are not very old. It is probably because of their nature that they will not do anything excessive!" Wang said.

"Grandma, don't underestimate anyone. As long as someone has ill intentions towards us, no matter he is an adult or a child, we should be careful, because something unexpected will happen at any time, and it will be too late to regret it by then. " Qibao said.

"Yes! That's right, but they still need to deal with this matter themselves. Wenwu, you must pay attention to it in the academy, you know?" the old man said.

"Yeah, I get it!" Xu Wenwu said.

"But it was precisely because of this incident that we found out who was sincere. Mr. Qian is very good. He often secretly helps his eldest brother to vent his anger. Because Mr. Qian is quite famous in the town, they don't dare to offend them. They often let these people You suffer the loss of being dumb, let alone relieve your anger!" Xiao Wu said.

The old man said: "I have met Mr. Qian's son. He is a good boy. If people treat you sincerely, you should also reciprocate with sincerity. Do you understand?"

"Got it, grandpa."

"Okay, let's have dinner first!" Wang said.

……

Early the next morning, Qibao followed his brother's carriage to the town, and Xu Laosan also went with him.

He sent his brothers to the entrance of the college and asked Kui Wu to drive the carriage to Zuixian Tower.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, shopkeeper Tong saw the father and daughter and said with a smile: "Rare guests, I heard that Xujiacun is very busy now. How come you, father and daughter, have time to come to my place today?" After that, he ordered the waiter. Two cups of tea were brought over.

Qibao smiled and said, "How is Grandpa Tong's business lately?"

Shopkeeper Tong said: "It's not bad, the seats are full. You must have something to do when you come to my place today, right?"

Qibao said: "There are some things I want to ask Grandpa Tong about."

"I knew it, tell me..." Shopkeeper Tong said.

"It's like this. I don't plan to teach a school in the village so that the children in the village can learn to read and write, so I want to ask Grandpa Tong if you know anyone who is suitable to be a wife?" Qibao said.Shopkeeper Tong thought for a while and said: "I know a lot of scholars, but those who can be a master must have a good reputation. Such people are not easy to find, unless they are the kind of people who have no hope of further progress at their age. Maybe they can , like those who are younger, they have no intention of becoming teachers in the school, they all focus on their own studies. "

Qibao also felt that what shopkeeper Tong said made sense, but she was afraid that older people would inevitably have more old-fashioned ideas and would not teach the children in the village to become nerds who could only read.

"Qibao, you still have time, look for it slowly, you will always find it." Xu Laosan said.

Shopkeeper Tong also said: "I will help you keep an eye on it during this period. If I find it, I will notify you."

"Thank you very much, Grandpa Tong. I'll go find Grandpa Hong and ask. If more people help, we may be able to find it better," Qibao said.

"Okay, Lao Hong also knows a lot of people. He may know such people." Shopkeeper Tong said.

So, after the father and daughter said goodbye, they took a carriage and came to Leshan Pharmacy.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, they saw shopkeeper Hong flipping through his account books and mumbling something unknown.

Qibao stepped forward and said, "Grandpa Hong, what are you looking at? Are you so entranced?"

Shopkeeper Hong quickly looked up, and when he saw Qibao, he immediately smiled and said, "Why do you girl have time to come to my place?"

Qibao said straightforwardly: "I'm here to ask Grandpa Hong for help."

Shopkeeper Hong said: "Come, let's sit down and talk." He took the father and daughter to the backyard and sat down.

Qibao explained the matter to Shopkeeper Hong again, including what Shopkeeper Tong said.

Shopkeeper Hong touched his chin, thought for a while and said: "Old Tong is right. Even if there are scholars who are willing to be a master, they probably won't choose to be a master in a mountain village. However, I know someone who may be suitable and he is relatively young. , but his body may not be able to."

Qibao said: "Grandpa Hong, please tell me first and let me listen."

"This man! He suffers from a cough. He can't even speak a few words before he coughs. He often takes medicine from me, but it can only relieve some symptoms. He lives a very poor life. He usually gets the money for medicine by copying books. He also has an old mother who is in reasonably good health and specializes in helping people wash clothes to earn some coins to support themselves."

Qibao asked: "Since his family's conditions are not good, how can he have money to send him to school?"

Shopkeeper Hong said: "His father had some abilities before. When he was young, he made some money, and his son also gained some energy. He passed the Tongsheng test. He was originally going to take the scholar test, but some changes happened at home. His father Because he was arrogant and arrogant, he was provoked to gamble. No matter how hard his wife and children at home tried to dissuade him, they could not stop him. As a result, he gambled away all the family property. Later, he suspected that there was a cheat in the gambling house and was setting him up. But he couldn't produce evidence, so he was beaten severely by others. As a result, he couldn't bear the blow, and he felt sorry for his wife and children, so he committed suicide at the door of the gambling house. "

Xu Laosan said: "Gambling is really harmful! It's such a pity that a good family is gone like this."

Shopkeeper Hong also sighed and said: "Who says it's not the case! Otherwise, with his son's knowledge, he would probably be able to pass the exam now! Since his father passed away, his mother couldn't bear the blow and wanted to just follow her husband. I went, but I was persuaded by my own son, and now mother and son have very little time to spare!"

"Then how did he get the cough?" Xu Laosan asked.

"Since his father passed away, the family has no income. He is a scholar and has a mother to support. He can only rely on helping others copy books in exchange for some money. In the middle of the winter, he would copy books until midnight, and as a result, he got a cough. Originally, It can be cured by seeing a doctor in time. However, in order not to increase the burden on the family, I thought that drinking more hot water would get better. However, the delay became worse and worse. By the time I wanted to see a doctor again, there was no cure. I could drink medicine to suppress it, but I was afraid of infecting others, so I haven’t gone to the academy to study since then!”
