Chapter 210 Chapter 210 Visiting Teacher Pei Yanhua

An Chuxia rested for one night, and went to Qingshi Town to visit Gu Shi with Mu Tan after breakfast the next day.

An Chuxia also felt very sad when she saw her teacher's body getting thinner and thinner. Gu Shi is 67 or [-] years old this year.

If many old people of this age are still dancing in the square in modern times, but she will face life, old age, sickness and death.

An Chuxia took the gruel from the servant and slowly fed it to Gu Shi.

"Just let the servants do it, and you don't need to do it yourself." Gu Shi said weakly.

An Chuxia smiled and continued to scoop up a small spoonful of white fungus, lotus seeds and red dates soup in the bowl. This is the food that Gu's spleen deficiency eats less during this time, and Mu Tan specially told him to eat more.

"It's okay. In the past, my teacher's wife cooked for us. Now I happen to be in a part-time job. If I have time, I can spend more time with you and the teacher, and be respectful and filial by your side."

After feeding Gu Shi, An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao chatted with her until she fell asleep, and then they left quietly.

In the following days, An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao will often accompany and take care of Gu Tongsheng and his wife.

Tu Zhiwei looked at Mr. An who was sitting at the head of the hall with a majestic face.

Gu Fangmiao and An Chuxia looked at each other, pulled back the beautifully packaged inkstone and ink ingots, raised the corners of their lips and said, "Sister Xia, since the teacher doesn't accept our gifts.

She is still so low-key and courteous in dealing with people and things, she is really a wise and dignified lady.

"The students met the teacher's wife!"

On this day, An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao saw that Gu's spirit had improved, so they went to the county town to visit Pei Yanhua.

After hearing what Gu Fangmiao said, Pei Yanhua's old eyes suddenly shone. Thinking of what he said just now, the beard on both sides of his mouth pouted, and his eyes were fixed on the gift box that Gu Fangmiao was pulling back. .

Perhaps he still remembered An Chuxia, who would rather promote a female county magistrate than promote him to work in the prefecture. After a routine visit, he took his leave and left.

But there are some things in her position, how can she just ignore them.

Then take this Shezhou inkstone and the ink ingot from Ruizhou back home and give it to your grandfather! "

As she came back for a long time, even though An Chuxia kept a low profile, the officials of Lushan County still got the news of her return to her hometown.

Both An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao knew that Pei Yanhua was particularly fond of inkstone and ink among the four treasures of the study, so they each chose one as a gift for him.

"Senior brother and sister-in-law are both okay?" Pei Yanhua asked.

An Chuxia squinted her eyes. She came back this time mainly to take good care of the two old people and let them enjoy their old age comfortably.

An Chuxia was afraid of disturbing the teacher and his wife, so she met them at her home.

"It's just because the student came back suddenly this time, so I didn't have time to inform the teacher." An Chuxia said.

But what about Tu County Magistrate who manages a poor county? How did he get transferred here?

Pei Yanhua looked at the two very promising female students, one who was already a first-rank official, and the other who also opened an academy in the capital.

"Ok, ok, ok, all ok! Come and sit down, both of you."

Lao Sun quickly took the gifts brought by the two ladies to my study and put them away, and then went to tell Madam that there are distinguished guests at home to prepare a banquet. "

This should have a lot to do with the magistrate's management ability. Maybe studying hard can make him a Jinshi, but it can't change his mediocre management ability.

"Grandfather is in good health. Grandmother has been ill for a while and is recuperating at home."

When Pei Yanhua saw the two people brought in by the old servant, he recovered from his astonishment, his eyes were slightly reddish on his wrinkled face,
"You two stinky girls, when you came back, you didn't write to inform the old man in advance."

An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao put the cakes they brought, two bolts of dark pattern silk satin, an inkstone and a tribute ink ingot from Ruizhou on the table.

Pei Yanhua's wife, Mrs. Xu, who was in the backyard, saw the precious items brought in by the old servant, heard that there was a distinguished guest at home, and hurried to the front hall after asking about it.

It was because the things he liked slipped away from his eyes, but Pei Yanhua said sullenly: "Stinky girl, how can you take back the things you gave away.

"Teacher, you don't need to be so troublesome~"

The inkstone that Gu Fangmiao gave was the famous Shezhou inkstone, but what An Chuxia brought to Pei Yanhua today was the very precious Ruizhou ink ingot, which was gifted to An Chuxia by Emperor Qing'an, and she rarely had it herself. willing to use.

Wasn't this the county magistrate who flaunted incorruptibility and never accepted gifts when she was the magistrate of Jiangzhou, a small county under her jurisdiction?

How could Pei Yanhua not know that these two students were teasing him.

During the few months of studying in Changqing Academy, the teacher Pei Yanhua was very kind to the two of them. Over the years, An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao would also write letters and bring things back to him.

Afterwards, the three teachers and students were chatting in the hall, when the old servant at the door came to report that Pei Yanhua's friend, Ji Laoxiu, had come to visit.

An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao stepped forward to put their hands together, and saluted Pei Yanhua respectfully, "Students are paying homage to the teacher, after so many years, is the teacher well?"

No wonder she came back here and found that Lushan County has not changed for so many years, and feels that the economy and people here are not as active and energetic as before.

An Chuxia didn't say much to them, and received several county government officials politely.

"Yes, sir!"

In the letter, the two had already learned that the teacher Pei Yanhua no longer taught at Changqing Academy due to his age, and they went directly to his house in the county seat by carriage.

Mrs. Xu sideways avoided, and said with a smile: "How can I accept the gift of the two female monarchs? It's really frustrating."

An Chuxia found out that Teacher Pei heard about this person's visit, and for some reason, there seemed to be a flash of worry on his face.

The smiles on the faces of An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao fell for a moment, but seeing Teacher Pei who was also full of gorgeous hair, Gu Fangmiao still smiled and said:

Seeing that they brought so many gifts, Pei Yanhua sternly refused: "You are able to visit me, as a teacher, I am very pleased. Take these things back."

"Of course, I'll go right away." Mrs. Xu smiled at An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao, and hurried to prepare meals after saying hello.

"Respect the teacher, the teacher's wife can accept this gift!"

When An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao saw Mrs. Xu coming in, they stood up politely and gave a junior salute.

Pei Yanhua turned his head and said to his wife softly, "Go down and get ready, I will keep them at home for dinner at noon."

Tu Zhiwei, the current magistrate of Lushan County, led his people, and Zuo Wang ushered him into the reception hall. When An Chuxia saw him, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

Pei Yanhua asked the old servant to bring him in.

If Ji Xiucai usually came to visit, most of the time he would be led in directly by the servants. Today, because there are guests at home, the old servant at the door will come to inform.

Ji Xiucai walked in with a slumped expression, saw that there was a guest at Pei Yanhua's house, and prepared to greet him politely and leave.

"I didn't know there was a guest at home, the old man came here really abruptly."
