Crossing the road to riches

With Cheng Rou's help, the affairs of Wanfeng Academy were quickly arranged.

The Shutang has a nice name called Maple Leaf Hall, because there is a very big old maple tree in the yard. If it is autumn, the red maple leaves will be beautiful when they fall.

"Then let's buy the tables and chairs and it will be complete."

The three of them went to the place where tables and chairs were sold together.

After asking for thirty sets of tables and chairs, the carpenter asked a few questions.

"I don't know what the gentlemen want so many low tables and low chairs for? Could it be that they opened a school at home?".

Wan Feng responded softly.

"Well, boys' school".

The apprentice in the woodworking shop laughed a few times when he heard the words.

"Then this business is difficult to do, I wish you a prosperous business first."

I have an opinion in my heart, but this business still has to be done. This is a big list. If it gets cold, the master will cut him off.

The three of them still don't understand, if they speak out in the past two days, they will inevitably hear a few bad words, but Fu Fu still tried his best to comfort Wan Feng.

"Wan Feng, don't take it to heart, they won't have anything to say when you start doing it. The wife master said that the best way to stop someone's mouth is to tell the truth."

Wan Feng didn't take these people's words to heart, he couldn't give up what he was going to do just because of a few sarcastic remarks from others, success was not easy, but failure couldn't be easier.

Wan Feng also thanked the apprentice.

"That's troublesome, please help me send it to Maple Leaf Hall in Zhengyi Alley."

The apprentice was also nimble, and his hands were not idle when he was talking, and he put wooden nails on the stool, the structure was ingenious, this simple stool also contained university knowledge, as expected, every line was profound and profound.

"Okay, thirty sets are not so fast, they will be delivered to you in seven days, and the remaining money and goods will be paid by then, and please leave someone at home to guard them."

A few people came to the place where the Four Treasures of the Study were sold again, Wan Feng naturally needed a set, but she bought a whole set of paper for ten dollars, two hundred sheets for one dollar, a total of one thousand sheets.

"Wan Feng, what did you buy so much for?".

Lin Wanfeng naturally wants to copy books, but not for sale. Books are very expensive, even enlightenment books with few words are also very expensive, so he just bought one and intends to copy books. If he really has the money Men are willing to come to study, but they can't have no books.

Chen Rou thought that she might as well do something good, and donate a few books to Wan Feng, but Fu Fu took the lead.

"I'll copy it for you."

Cheng Rou thought for a second, isn't his son in a hurry every day, he is unwilling to ask him to read more points, so it is better to let him do the math.

"Give me the Three Character Classic, and I will ask my son to copy dozens of copies for you."

Cheng Rou's son was sitting at home, and the pot came from the sky.

We had a very happy stroll along the way, and Fu Fu Wan Feng didn't know anyone else.

But Cheng Rou didn't know anyone, even if he didn't know, he followed the two officials behind him, and no one who didn't have a good eye came back to find something.

But as the saying goes, every family has its own hard-to-recite scriptures.

Cheng Rou was leading the three of them back to the backyard when they heard scolding from afar.

"Qing Tian Bai Ri Cheng Rou is a lazy person. He hasn't seen anyone for a long time. He doesn't do housework at home. My mother-in-law doesn't know how to be filial."
The Cheng family was really blind to marry such a person."

Hearing that Cheng Rou's face turned blue and pale, it would have been okay if it was normal, but now that his friend is still there, seeing this really made him ashamed.

"I'm sorry Wanfeng Fufu, I'm kidding, this is my mother-in-law. It's not easy to get along with each other on weekdays."

This is not a good match, it is simply not giving people face.

Cheng Rou originally wanted to lead the two of them in quietly to settle Wan Feng and Fu Fu properly before going to find her mother-in-law, but she didn't expect to be arrested immediately after entering.

The mother-in-law was born from her heart, she looked bitter and mean, with a diamond-shaped face, triangular eyes, and an awl-like figure, as soon as she saw Cheng Rou, she broke a branch from a nearby tree and wanted to beat her up.

Even if there were guests, she didn't intend to give Cheng Rou any face.

"I'll beat you to death today, you lazy bastard, you know how to hook up with people outside every day."

Filial piety is the word these days, Cheng Rou can only bear it, but Fufu can't bear it.

He went straight over, snatched the branch from the old woman's hand, and immediately pinned her down so that she couldn't move.

"Ah Rou, how can there be someone in your mansion who is so severely insane. This kind of disease is very serious and should be sent for treatment as soon as possible. I heard from my wife that it can be cured. If the symptoms are mild, as long as the whole body It’s enough to prick the needles up and down, but the old woman’s condition is already very serious, and she has to give her head a scoop.”

Cheng Rou knew that Fufu was avenging herself, so she pretended to be too open-mouthed to react, and Wan Feng also stepped forward.

"I've also heard that it's much better to punch a hole in the head, cut something out of it, and then sew it on, but the side effects are huge, and it's easy to make people stupid and unable to take care of themselves, but it's better than That's good."

"Arou, don't you think so?"

Cheng Rou immediately panicked.

"Oh! What are you doing, Fufu? This is my mother-in-law, but she has a more straightforward temper, not a crazy woman."

Fufu let go immediately.

"No? I think it's clear, you want to try it out?".

Your old lady woke up immediately, and she was stronger than her and had to crack her head. She can't be crazy, it hurts a lot.

Cheng Rou knew that the old woman was pretending to be crazy and wanted to take the opportunity to bully him, and he couldn't do anything with a lunatic, and he couldn't spread the word to make his wife lose face, so he could only bear it every time.

"My mother-in-law is sometimes normal and sometimes abnormal. I don't know what's going on. If she becomes abnormal again, I will talk to my wife. The wife will definitely take care of her."

This old woman has always disliked Cheng Rou. Originally, she planned to give her daughter a few more servants, but they were all rejected, and the promise she made to the bird friend disappeared, and she accidentally gave her the bird that someone else gave her. If he died, he still didn't go back, and he didn't have the face to go out to mess around, so don't blame this Cheng Rou.

Another unpleasant thing is that she originally wanted to recruit a few servants for her, but her old man died long ago, but he refused to make arrangements for her, and said that she was old and disrespectful, and even urged her daughter to ignore her.

Isn't this just disrespect for the old?

The most important thing is that the family's money is in Cheng Rou's hands, and she is only given two taels of silver for the elderly every month. The concubine outside sold a beautiful dress, causing her concubine outside to run away with others.

It's a pity that everyone in the family is against her, so she can only pretend to be crazy and vent her anger on Cheng Rou from time to time, and she can't do anything to her anyway.

Fufu looked at Cheng Rou's mother-in-law and thought of his own mother-in-law and father-in-law, and grandma was really good to him, although she was not good to him in the past, isn't it because there is no food and my family can't take care of it? There is no way, so he doesn't complain.

But now they are all very kind to him, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law never care about the affairs of him and his wife, they just ask them from time to time if they are eating and drinking well.

"You lazy man, you will be unlucky for eight lifetimes after marrying you. You don't know how to honor your mother-in-law, and you are indifferent when you see her mother-in-law is about to starve to death."

This means that there is no money in hand to spend.

Cheng Rou frowned, her tone respectful.

"Mother-in-law, you have enough food and clothing at home. There is no place to spend money. Besides, I only gave you monthly silver a few days ago. Money is spent everywhere in this house. Your daughter's silver is not picked up from the ground." .

If you listened and reasoned, it wouldn't be such a fuss.

"I don't believe that an official as big as my daughter will only give my mother two taels of silver for a month, and you secretly hid it."

In fact, it should have been 20 taels, but whenever the rich mother-in-law went out to drink flowers and wine, he was unwilling to give it even if the budget was enough.

But he didn't want to be too ugly with his friends here these days, so he took out two taels of silver from his pocket and gave it to his mother-in-law.

"I'll take it for you. You can eat, drink, but not whore and gamble. Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your wife. It's not easy for a wife these years."

The old woman's attitude immediately improved after she got the money.

"If you pay the money earlier, it's over. Don't worry, I know that I know everything. I won't hold back my daughter if I go secretly."

After leaving, Cheng Rou sighed deeply.

"It's really funny, my mother-in-law is not a bad person, but she has no bottom line in asking for money."

Fufu almost frightened Ah Rou just now when he saw the old woman breaking a branch to beat Ah Rou.

"I was also in a moment of anxiety just now."

Cheng Rou was happy just now, and finally taught her mother-in-law a little lesson.

"It's okay, if I didn't want to stop it long ago, why would I just look at it like a goose."

"But my mother-in-law is really a headache for my wife and I, there is nothing we can do about her."

Fufu thought of a coup.

"My wife-in-law said that most of the personnel work is due to the lack of time, why don't you find something for your mother-in-law to do?".

Cheng Rou maintains a skeptical attitude.

"Can this work? Don't steal chickens and lose money."

But how do you know if you don’t try.

"Arou, just do what you like, let your mother-in-law be busy, so busy and happy that she doesn't have time to find fault, it's best that she can make money by herself."

This is not unreasonable, her mother-in-law loves raising birds very much, but the technique is not very good, and she often raises the birds to death.

"Then tell me if it's okay for me to ask my mother-in-law to raise pigeons. Pigeons are similar to chickens. My mother-in-law should not die, and she can sell them for money. After selling the money, she spends it herself, and saves him from making troubles."

Wan Feng felt that there was still some risk.

"It's better to hire a professional bird breeder at home, take the old lady for a few days, and let her figure it out by herself."

Cheng Rou can be regarded as seeing some hope, if she can really calm her mother-in-law, it would be a great deal.

"Then I have a chance to talk to my wife, and then discuss it with my mother-in-law."

Cheng Rou felt that she really underestimated Fufu before, but she didn't expect not only to be brave but also to have a lot of tricks.

"Fufu, although you are not well-educated and not very smart, you still have a lot of bad moves."

Fufu didn't sound like he was praising him.

The next thing is the most important thing, which is to recruit male students. It is not easy to recruit male students, and you need to come to find them one by one.

Fufu held his face in his hands, and his hair was a little messy.

"Then do we really have to visit each family to ask? Then we have to ask when to go."

Cheng Rou is good at this, it's so troublesome to go one by one, so why not just hold some kind of banquet and send out invitations to invite everyone over.

"No need! Then I can't break my legs after running back and forth. First, let my son go to study, and then I will invite all the lords to come to my son's school-opening banquet. It depends on your performance."

Cheng Rou's son wanted to show his father his newly pasted paper kite, but when he heard that his good father was going to take him for bloodletting, he had a gloomy face and wanted to walk away silently.

But this time he didn't make it, but was directly grabbed by his father.

"Let me show you, my son, he's okay, he's not ugly, he's just playful, but I didn't care much about him when he was young."

This was the first time they met Cheng Rou's son. They had heard earlier that Cheng Rou had a son and wanted to meet him, but Cheng Rou said that it was unnecessary. Willing to meet strangers.

Seeing that Fufu liked it very much, he immediately took out something good from his pocket, which was something he had fiddled with recently.

Wrapped in small pieces of oil paper, Fufu peeled off one and stuffed it in Cheng Rou's son's mouth.

"How is it? Is it delicious? Do you still want to eat?".

Cheng Rou's son, Cheng Xue, has rabbit-like eyes. The candy has a milky taste and peanuts in it. It is fragrant, crunchy and sweet.

He has eaten many snacks, this is the best.

"good to eat".

Fufu was very generous and gave Cheng Xue all the candy in his pocket.

"Eat more if it tastes good. I also think it tastes good. In the future, I have to study hard, study hard, and there will be a lot of sweets to eat."

Now that Cheng Xue wants to return the candy, is there still time for him?

Cheng Rou was not gentle to her son at all, she just slapped him on the back of the head.

"Hurry up, that's your wife. Goodbye, you will go to study in a few days, don't embarrass your father."

Cheng Xue took a few glances at Wan Feng, she was really pretty, maybe she was here to seduce her mother.

"He wants to teach me in our house? I don't agree."

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Rou angrily slapped Cheng Xue on the back of the head again.

"The master opens a school, a boys' school, and I will send you there when the time comes."

Fufu felt that Cheng Rou had always lived up to her name, gentle and generous, virtuous and reasonable, but she never expected that in front of her son, she would be tough as a father.

Fufu pulled Cheng Xue behind him, so that this little head would not be murdered again.

Cheng Xue has a good impression of this person who gives her sweets to protect herself, he is much gentler than her father.

It's a pity that he failed to protect the cub and was directly picked up by Cheng Rou.

"I'm going to hold a school-opening banquet for you in a few days. You have to pretend to be decent for me. Did you hear that, Master Zhishu Dali? Meat.

Cheng Xue was dissatisfied.

"Father, if a man is ignorant, he is a virtue. What are you doing so much? I don't want to get married. Why don't you let me play at home for a few years."

Cheng Rou was on the verge of going berserk, but fortunately she was stopped by Fufu.

"Ah Rou, don't get excited, educating children should be done step by step."
