Father's Farmer's Wife: Farming Makes a Fortune

Chapter 173 The Prince Is Angry ([-])

The hot summer day was scorching on the top of his head. Zeng Yansheng tightly packed the burden behind him, and from time to time he reached out to wipe off the layers of sweat on his forehead. I was bored for a while, and if I didn't go, I didn't have money to buy books and accommodation. Once I gritted my teeth, I had to move on.

A figure rushed out from the side of the street and blocked his way with outstretched arms.

Zeng Yansheng was startled at first, and then calmed down. He had just met this handsome servant in the Jidi Courtyard, and it seemed that he should be a servant of Prince Shuo's residence. I don't know what to say, this meeting suddenly blocked my way on the street, I was also curious about what he would say, so I stopped.

"You are Zeng Yansheng, right? Let me talk?" She pointed to the tea booth just now.

"Brother, you may wish to speak directly, Xiaosheng still has to hurry, so it's inconvenient to sit for a long time."

Nanmenyue thought that she couldn't delay others for too long, so she said straight to the point: "I want you to go to our private school to make up lessons. Considering your family background, we will lower the fees."

Zeng Yansheng didn't expect that the other party would ask him to make up lessons, so he just settled the accounts in his heart. The money he earns in the winery every month, in addition to paying for the accommodation and food in the Jijiyuan, the rest is almost enough Although it is very difficult to buy books, but thinking that the other party is actually sent by Prince Shuo's mansion, I definitely cannot refuse:
"Remedial lessons? You mean to let us go to Prince Shuo's private school to make up lessons?"

Nanmenyue knew that her clothes had misunderstood him, so she quickly explained: "I borrowed these clothes, and I have nothing to do with Prince Shuo's residence. The place where I asked you to make up lessons is..."

As soon as this identity was clarified, Zeng Yansheng started to leave without waiting for her to finish the rest of the sentence. He didn't have extra time to spend more time talking with this liar who looked like a woman, which made him happy for nothing. The scene, thinking that it could be related to Prince Shuo's mansion.

He finally understood why this guy sneered at him in front of all the other candidates in the Jidi Academy just now, it turned out he was a liar.

Nanmenyue was not reconciled, and chased after him again: "Hey, don't rush away, I haven't finished my sentence, although our private school has nothing to do with Prince Shuo, but our teacher has something to do with Prince Shuo. "

Zeng Yansheng quickened his pace, no matter how Nanmenyue whispered in his ear, he didn't listen, turned around and threw her away at the corner.

Nanmenyue held her head in frustration, and touched the ashes on her nose again. She was unwilling to give up like this, and simply found a cool place on the side of the street, and just squatted there. She must wait until Zeng Yansheng gave birth again. Come back from the wine shop.

She sat there with her chin propped up for the whole afternoon, and when she was taking a nap, a few well-meaning passers-by threw a few copper coins at her feet, but they were picked up by the beggars on the other side.

The sun was going to set soon, guessing that Zeng Yansheng should call it a day, so he quickly got up and stretched his muscles and bones. After walking two steps, his stomach growled with hunger. Mantou, it is a miracle that it survived till now.

This time, smelling the smell of roast chicken wafting from the street from time to time, she felt even more hungry. She bit her finger and thought for a while, and finally decided to take out the money to buy a roast chicken.

She had just paid the roast chicken peddler, when she turned around, she saw Zeng Yansheng coming from the street with a disheveled hair. The boiler worker in the winery is a hard job. In this season, she gathers around the boiler, adding firewood and changing clothes. Hot water, that is simply fatal, because the money given is not enough, and those who do that work are all elderly.

Zeng Yansheng would come out now, his face was still flushed red from the heat, which was comparable to the roast chicken in Nanmenyue's hands.

"Hey little brother, it's time for work?" Nanmenyue pulled out a chicken leg from the paper bag in her hand and put it in her mouth, took a bite of it contentedly, walked towards Zeng Yansheng, and deliberately lifted the roast chicken high, At the tip of Zeng Yansheng's nose.

I was starving after not doing anything, and Zeng Yansheng must have been so hungry after working for a long time, he was staring at the chicken leg in Nanmenyue's mouth without blinking.

"Want to eat?" Nanmenyue asked intentionally, with the chicken leg in her mouth, she stretched out her hand and pulled another chicken leg and handed it to Zeng Yansheng.

Zeng Yansheng swallowed, hesitated a little, finally wiped his hands and took the chicken leg, bowed his head and said, "Thank you."

He earns a limited amount of money, and never dared to eat extra meals in Jidiyuan. He eats vegetables and tofu every day. He hasn’t had meat for a long time. He doesn’t know what the meat tastes like. He will eat such delicious chicken legs , naturally grateful to Nanmen Yue.

"I don't have any extra money. It's unlikely that you want me to study in your private school, but if you can help me, I will definitely be obliged to do so."

This is typical, cannibalism with a soft mouth.

"No, no, you misunderstood, I let you go to our private school for tutoring without you paying money, on the contrary, we will give you money back."

Zeng Yansheng couldn't believe there was such a good thing, so he had to wait for Nanmenyue to continue.

"Look at you, you work as a boiler worker in a wine shop. You work from morning to night, let alone earning a small amount. You haven't had time to read. If you persist like this, even if you make it to the day of the imperial examination, you think you still have the ability to get a job. Is it the number one scholar? It’s unlikely that you will get the ranking, because you have used other people’s studies to work.”

Zeng Yansheng was caught by Nanmenyue's words, and he was speechless, so he had to lower his head. During this period of time, he had indeed lost a lot of opportunities to study because of his work, and he had to work hard every day in the winery. , If you accidentally doze off and the wine lees are mushy, you will have to deduct the money.

After working hard for a whole day with tense nerves, I just started to doze off when I returned to Jidiyuan to relax and read a book.

Nanmenyue saw that Zeng Yansheng was wavering, so she struck while the iron was hot: "You come to our private school to make up lessons, and we will give you a rebate of one tael for every candidate you bring in, three taels for five, six taels for ten, and more By analogy, there is no cap."

Hearing Nanmenyue's words, Zeng Yansheng thought carefully in his heart. This is no different from the money he earned from working in the winery. The main thing is that he won't miss his studies and earn money. How can such a good thing happen again? Without saying a word, he nodded and agreed: "I listen to you, but you have to make a written statement for me."

Nanmenyue snapped her fingers triumphantly, reached into her sleeve pocket and took out the written receipt that she had prepared: "It has already been set up for you, written in black and white, with my signature and stamp on it, and the address of the academy. Waiting for you to bring me good news tomorrow morning."

Finally got the leader, Nanmenyue was a little complacent, but she didn't know that in another part of the capital, she was being searched by people all over the capital because she injured Prince Shuo.
