Lucky Star Gao Zhao

Chapter 218

The delighted Wang Jingzhou returned to his yard, and saw his cousin talking to his uncle in the yard.

"Oh, it's cold outside. Cousin, please sit indoors. Don't catch the cold from the wind. Cousin has practiced all morning. Go back to the room for a rest."

Seeing him come back, Wu Xuemei said: "Xunsheng, my sister is going to sit in your house, Jingzhou, you should also go back to your house for a rest."

Wu Changliang nodded and led his elder sister to his yard.

Yesterday Wu Xuemei had carefully inspected the inside and outside of her younger brother's house, and asked the nanny who was in charge to tell her again.

There is no kang in Wu Changliang's house. There is a brazier in the house, but there are people who are guarding it day and night in shifts, just in case of accidents.

After entering the house and sitting down in the main room, Wu Xuemei said, "Do you want to take a bath and change your clothes? I'll ask Mommy to bring water in."

"No, just wash your face."

One of the servants in the room went out, and quickly brought hot water in. Wu Changliang washed his face and hands, looked up, his sister was holding a cotton handkerchief, and he took it and said thank you.

"You are always so polite, my sister, so what if I take care of you? When you were young, your eldest sister bathed you at home."

Wu Changliang blushed and smiled embarrassedly.

Seeing that my younger brother's face turned rosy after he came, and he ate more than before last night, Nasi's disappointment with Mrs. Gao's family disappeared. Nothing can compare to his younger brother's body, just like what my cousin said , what if Mrs. Gao is lame?
"Xunsheng, Eldest Sister went to Gao's house today. My cousin said it was right. The Gao family is not bad. After you get married, you and Zhao'er can live a good life. Let Eldest Sister embrace her nephew as soon as possible. Eldest Sister is waiting for that day."

Now that things have happened, if you complain in front of your younger brother, it will only make your younger brother dislike the Gao family, so why bother to do such useless things.

Hearing that the elder sister praised the Gao family, Wu Changliang's eyebrows showed joy. Wu Xuemei felt that it was destined. It's also easy. It would be very sad for his family to accept it because of him.

"Eldest sister invited sister Zhao to accompany me, you can come and accompany eldest sister tomorrow, let's talk together."

"En." Wu Changliang nodded.

……

When Gao Wenlin came back from the office at noon, Jiang told about the visit of the eldest sister of the master's apprentice, and asked what people who are proficient in arithmetic usually do.

Gao Wenlin wondered why his wife asked this, and Jiang explained: "Sister Xunsheng said that her husband-in-law first taught Xunsheng arithmetic, but Xunsheng learned it by himself in the house in the past few years."

Gao Wenlin nodded, and said appreciatively, "It's rare to be so hard at such a young age. Arithmetic is not like other studies. It's rare to be able to study hard for several years!"

After admiring, he remembered and asked: "What is the Wu family doing?"

"I just came here, the first time I saw you, how could you open your mouth to ask what your mother's family is doing and what your husband's family is doing? Besides, I don't think about it, but looking at Sister Xunsheng, she has a good bearing. I have never seen such a bearing in our county." woman."

This Gao Wenlin is not interested, and he can't just comment on the female family members. He continued: "Every department has people who can learn math, and the Ministry of Households uses it more. There are only six departments in our county. There are also book offices dedicated to math. The annual tax , land measurement, and population statistics are all used.”

Mrs. Jiang didn't quite understand, so she nodded and said with a smile, "Elder sister also said that she can't help but be the master, just like the master."

Gao Wenlin also laughed, and said, "Don't underestimate the director in Beijing. If I were in Beijing, I wouldn't be able to be the director. Beijing officials are different from those outside, so sir, I don't expect to be an official in Beijing for the rest of my life. .”

"Isn't the master going to take the imperial examination? If you pass the exam, maybe you can go to the household department that the master said. Wouldn't you learn more there?"

Gao Wenlin laughed, didn't answer, and asked other questions. There's no need to explain the details of being an official at home.

"Master, Mrs. Jia has returned to Beijing. There is something at home. It is estimated that Mr. Jia will not come back for a while. Elder sister Xunsheng stayed with Xunsheng. She asked Zhaoer and Qiaoyun to accompany her during the day. Elder sister Xunsheng brought her daughter." The one here is two years younger than Qiaoyun, she looks like Xunsheng, and she is very distressing. I agree with her, we can't do anything else, it's okay to talk to her, I brought a little lady, I don't know the place here Yes, I want her to come to our house during the day, I’m afraid she’s not used to it, so Zhao’er will take Qiaoyun there, Auntie and Lady Jia don’t see each other and give us so many things, Miss Xunsheng comes He gave Zhao'er Qiaoyun a meeting gift, and he opened his mouth, so it's hard to refuse."

Gao Wenlin doesn't care about the relationship between female relatives, but he still feels something is wrong. Since he is worried, the Jia family can take the apprentice back to Beijing. Why do they have to stay here? Another married sister came here take care of.

It's unreasonable, I have to wait for Mr. Jia to come back and find out who is the apprentice who forced it on him.

Gao Zhao was lying in his aunt's room, watching his younger sister draw. It's a pity that the family couldn't afford a female teacher, otherwise he could hire a painting teacher for his younger sister.

Hearing from Jia Xibei that there is a girls' school in Beijing, if there is one in the county, she would definitely persuade her father to send Qiaoyun to the school.

After a while, Gao Cui entered the house and saw his eldest niece, so he knew that his brother had left the office.

"Your father came back early today, I'm glad they haven't finished school yet."

"Not yet, now there is a new gentleman, who seems to be stricter than Mr. Jia, and won't give students holidays at every turn."

Gao Cui came in after washing his hands, took out some face cream and said, "I don't understand learning, but I know that the one who can teach the students is a good gentleman. You see, the old gentleman in the past was strict and beat the students every now and then. Banzi, when he is happy, he doesn’t like to study. He frowns and goes to school every day. When Mr. Jia comes here to teach, he has never been sad and loves to learn. Although he is not as good as others, he is much better than he used to be. I think Mr. Jia’s teaching is like playing, and sometimes he takes them out for picnics. He is happy to say that Mr. Jia said that he will take them to see the snow scene when it snows, but that’s it. Improvement, this is the ability, and playing does not delay the business, several students have to entertain Mr. Jia at home, Mr. Jia's family didn't go, but they often come to our house, which shows that our family is good."

"Auntie worships Mr. Jia so much now, why don't you just talk about Mr. Jia? Would you like Mr. Jia to write a couplet and hang it in the house?"

"Why do I want that? I don't know how to read. I just think that if you can go to school happily, you are a good gentleman. What's the use of learning if you can teach yourself? Mr. Jia can teach. It would be great if he could stay for a long time. , but I can’t stay because I’m happy, I hope today’s husband won’t smack his palms anymore, or he won’t be able to hold a pen if his hands are swollen.”

Gao Zhao really couldn't accept this kind of corporal punishment teaching in ancient times. Every child has different intelligence. The old gentleman in the past didn't care about 21. If he couldn't recite it, he would beat his palms. If he was happy, he would be beaten often. I became more and more disgusted and afraid of going to school, and now I am anxious to go to school. Mr. Jia knows how to teach students according to their aptitude, and he is also a capable person.
