I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 85 Liu Ke
The last time I pawned a jade pendant, it was the best jade pendant, and I pawned it for only 70 taels, and I still met Xiyu's pawnshop.

Zhou Yu explained, "The big head is a pearl necklace. The necklace is well maintained. All the good pearls go to the court. This necklace is big enough and it is rare to find pearls."

Yang Xi pursed her lips. This necklace was a gift from her younger brother when she gave birth to a child. The younger brother wrote that everything was fine at home, and that the family business was doing well. By coincidence, she came across a good pearl and made it into a necklace for her. She, all her words mean that her dowry is too thin.

Zhou Yu patted his daughter-in-law on the shoulder. He did not agree to be the daughter-in-law's jewelry. The daughter-in-law said that the pearls lost their luster and were not worth the money, so it would be better to change the silver. Seeing the daughter-in-law's dejected expression, "Should I go and redeem it?"

Yang Xi shook his head, "My brother has sent a lot of things over the past few years, and I have left a string of jade beads as my thoughts."

Zhou Yu collected the ticket and said, "I will go to Yizhou after I serve the corvée, and I will ask Master Bai to find out about the younger brother."

Yang Xi, "Is Bozhou blocking it, is the dart shop still going north?"

Zhou Yu saw that his son was eavesdropping, with a smile in his eyes, "The capital needs supplies from the south. King Jiang doesn't want to arouse suspicion from the emperor. Sooner or later, Bozhou will open up a safe business route."

Yang Xi pursed his lips, "Do you think my younger brother will encounter danger if he goes to the capital to find us?"

Zhou Yu, "No, I don't have to worry about my brother going to the capital. He will hide when he sees the Zhou Mansion being sealed."

In these years of correspondence, he knows a lot about his brother-in-law. It is not easy to support his family at a young age. Even if he has the Zhou family to rely on, he still needs means to not be bullied in his hometown. From the New Year's gifts that his brother-in-law has given him these years, it can be seen that the brother-in-law has a good way of thinking. .

So he was not worried that his brother-in-law would be in danger in the capital, but he was more worried that the chaotic people would harm his mother-in-law and brother-in-law's family.

Yang Xi carefully recalled his brother's letter and felt a lot more at ease. He looked at the silver coins, "You exchanged a hundred taels of gold?"

Zhou Yu nodded, "It's too heavy to replace it all with silver, leaving 80 taels of silver, plus the 70 taels pawned last time is enough."

Regardless of the accounts of building the house, Yang Xi knew it.

The foundation was dug yesterday, and 15 people were left to build the house, except those who could not work. The house can be built in half a month, and the labor cost is more than 20 taels. The majority of the house is green bricks and wood, and there are many green bricks , about 50 taels, because the construction of the earth dragon will cost another ten taels, plus the furniture and other households used, the house will cost a hundred taels of silver.

The money is like flowing water!
Zhou Yu and other daughters-in-law collected the money, "There is no big cost to build the house, so we still have to make money."

Yang Xi, "Well, I really need to make money."

The couple looked at each other and thought of Yang San at the same time, they didn't need to come forward and hand it over to Yang San, they couldn't help laughing.

Just after dinner was ready, Yang San and Zhou Xiaodi came back, and Yang Xi and his wife observed Liu Lizheng's youngest son.

Liu Ke was nervous. He knew that his father had found a master for him, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get into the master's eyes. If his father said he couldn't, he would come over with a second brother.
Zhou Yu said, "Introduce yourself?"

Liu Ke introduced dryly, "My father is Lizheng of Shanghe Village. I am 25 years old. My name is Liu Ke. I have two sons. The oldest is seven years old and the youngest is three years old."

Yang Xi was stunned by the first sentence "My father is Li Zheng", blinked, and felt that there was nothing wrong!

Zhou Yu was also stunned for a few seconds, then smiled, "It's alright."

If he doesn't interrupt, this person can introduce who his Yue family is.

Liu Ke saw that Mr. smiled and thought that he should pass the test.

Yang San and Zhou Xiaodi have already turned their heads and snickered, and they have learned all the way.

Yang Xi glared at the two of them and said with a smile, "Wash your hands first, and eat later."

Liu Ke had already smelled the aroma of the sauced pork, his stomach was growling, he wanted to eat at home, but his father said he was stupid, but he was right, and he sighed in his heart, rich master is good!

Because I know that Liu Ke is coming today, the evening meal is quite rich. It is convenient to eat fish in Yangzhen Linhe, braised fish, a tofu fish ball soup, a pot of sauce bones, and a green vegetable.

Liu Ke didn't dare to eat more, so he stopped eating after five minutes of fullness. This is the master's house. Dad said that he should be more measured.

Yang Xi looked at Xiangle, and Liu Lizheng obviously wanted to eat big households, but it made people hate it.

In the evening, Zhou Yu taught class time, there is more Liu Ke today, Zhou Yu will not change the course because of more Liu Ke, these days are all allusions, and there is nothing out of the ordinary.

Liu Ke was a little confused. He didn't know a few words. He listened dryly. After listening for a while, his eyes brightened. Allusions are stories.

After Zhou Yu left some questions for Yang San, he motioned Liu Ke to step forward, "I'll test you first."

Liu Ke was nervous, "I, I don't count much."

The common people have not learned arithmetic systematically, and not many know how to count. They still use ropes to settle numbers, and the large numbers are lost.

Liu Ke was not the best at math at home, his second brother was the one who made him the youngest son, and his parents favored him.

Zhou Yu's test was very simple. From within ten to less than one hundred, Liu Ke was indeed able to count, not mentally, and somewhat clever.

Zhou Yu taught arithmetic again, starting from within ten, Liu Ke did not dare to say a word about the meeting within ten.

Yang Xi waited for his son to finish writing the big characters, raised his hand and touched his son's head, signaling his son to follow.

Ziheng was stunned, because it was too simple.

Zhou Yu found that his daughter-in-law and son were silent, and asked the question again. Ziheng gave the result directly, while Liu Ke hadn't finished the question.

After ten consecutive questions, Liu Ke didn't dare to say that he could count within ten. He couldn't even compete with a child, and his heart was hot. Mr. Zhou's sons are so good, and Mr. Zhou is even more powerful.

Zhou Yu was not annoyed when he saw that Liu Ke was beaten, and was somewhat satisfied. People may not be smart, but attitude is what matters.

The next day, after Zhou Yu instructed Zhou Bing, he concentrated on teaching Liu Ke. Liu Ke mainly learned to calculate and keep accounts, so he had to be able to plan, and abacus was available at home.

Zhou Yu took out the abacus, Liu Ke stared straight at the abacus, and was more respectful to Zhou Yu.

Yang Xi sat for a long time, took his son to walk in the yard, and exercised every day to make the production smoother.

Yang Xi came out to see Old Man Zhao's wife, Mrs. Sun carrying red beans, and asked aloud, "Sister-in-law, do you want to eat red beans at night?"

Sun raised his head and said with a smile, "Yeah, I'll give you some later."

Yang Xi shook his head, "There are not many red beans, sister-in-law keeps them for herself."

Mrs Sun said, "I just need to cook porridge here."

After a while, he asked, "I heard that the son of Shanghe Village is here to study?"

Yang Xi nodded, "Yes, let's learn some arithmetic."

Sun's heart is envious. It is good to have knowledge. He is respected wherever he goes. He has just settled down with Lizheng. Nowhere is like their home.

Mrs Sun thought of several grandchildren, "Miss, does Young Master Zhou Lin still teach literacy?"
