After death, I became the cannon fodder of the three protagonists

Chapter 280
At the beginning, Xie Wenci really planned to take Gu Jinnian and Chen Qingzhou back to the courtyard at noon.

But Master Fan Shan was very satisfied with the performance of the two children, so he sent someone to deliver a message to his wife, and took Xie Wenci, master and apprentice, back for dinner at noon.

The teacher had an invitation, so Xie Wenci naturally had to accept it.

Of course, he didn't forget Su Mo's side.

When he took the child out of the academy with Fan Shanchang, he asked the boys from the academy to pass a message to Su Mo and Xie Mu in the small courtyard.

It just so happened that Su Mo was about to work on lunch when the messenger arrived.

He didn't come back until the afternoon, and the sumptuous lunch that was originally scheduled was naturally moved to the evening.

Gu Qinhan hurriedly sent Su Mo out of the kitchen to make a simple lunch without two people.

Su Mo was a little worried about Gu Jinnian, so she asked 258 to get some copper coins for her, and then gave them to the messenger boy.

"My little brother, I don't know if it's all right, why did you suddenly say you're coming back later?"

"You're welcome, ma'am."

The young servant took the copper money, was overjoyed, and told Su Mo in a low voice about Fan Shanchang's invitation to Xie Juren and the others, then cupped his hands and said, "The little one has to go back to the academy, so I will take my leave first."

When Su Mo heard the reason, he was relieved, and his brows and eyes were stained with a smile: "Hey, brother, go slowly."

This is a good thing, they were all taken home for dinner by Chief Fan Shan. Doesn't that mean that the places to go to Minglu Academy will be stable.

Su Mo squinted her eyes, thinking that when she went back this time, she should consult with the village chief and rent out all her fields.

The village school will naturally continue to open.

Xie Wenci went to Luoshan Village to be his teacher to repay his kindness. After the end of this year, he will go to Beijing to take the exam, and basically he will not go back.

Wang Kuixing has kept his filial piety for three years, this year is already the second year, and the next year at the latest, he should continue the scientific examination.

Therefore, the masters of the village school still have to find a way to find some stable teachers who can teach for a long time.

Nowadays, the life of the people in Luoshan Village is getting better and better, and their money is more abundant, and they no longer need to leave the village school for pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

But even without this expense, plus the bundle repairs collected, it is still barely enough to maintain the village school.

But it doesn't matter, we can discuss with the village head that the rent from her fields can be used to maintain the operation of the village school. If it is not enough, she can save another sum of money.

When the sky was full of sunset, Xie Wenci finally returned with Gu Jinnian and Chen Qingzhou.

He drank a lot of wine with Chief Fan Shan at noon, became drunk, and rested in the guest room for an afternoon. Although he was sober, his body smelled of alcohol.

The coachman was a servant of Chang Fan Shan's family, and he was ordered to go out. As soon as the carriage stopped, he quickly put down the bench, then lifted the curtain, and helped Xie Wen to get off the carriage.

Su Mo and the others all came out when they heard the movement, and Mother Xie and He Nier also came out one step behind.

Seeing this, the coachman bowed to Xie Wenci, and drove away in the carriage.

Su Mo held back his temper and called Gu Jinnian and Chen Qingzhou to his side, and asked them about their situation these days after entering the room.

On Xie Wenci's side, Xie's mother smelled the strong smell of alcohol on his body, and frowned slightly, "Why are you still drinking?"

Xie Wen's head still hurt a bit when he resigned, but he still endured it and said to Xie's mother: "The teacher said that he is happy today, and he will not return if he is not drunk. My son dare not refuse."

As soon as Mother Xie heard this, she knew that the purpose of coming this time had been achieved. She really didn't want the two families to get involved too much, but things didn't go as expected.

Mother Xie sighed slightly in her heart, and did not keep Xie Wenci to continue talking, "Drunk is uncomfortable, go back and rest, I will ask Nier to bring you some hot water later."

Xie Wenci didn't refuse, and after answering, he looked at He Nier again, "Sister Nier, please."

He Nier blushed slightly, "Brother Wen Ci, you are being polite."

Xie Wenci smiled, didn't say anything, went in and went back to his room.

He Nier stared at his back eagerly, and then looked away when he was out of sight, thanked her mother a little embarrassedly and said, "Auntie, I'm going to the kitchen..."

Xie Mu smiled and patted her, "Go."

He Nier blushed and went into the yard, then turned around and went into the kitchen, took the pot of warm water that was prepared, and walked to Xie Wenci's room.

Mother Xie stood in the yard and watched, and returned to the room with a smile when someone entered.

Su Mo listened carefully to Gu Jinnian's description of their life in Minglu Academy, and immediately asked the most important thing.

"Then the quota of Minglu Academy?"

Gu Jinnian nodded slightly, "Master Fan has already written a greeting note and sent it to the capital.

It's still in August, Master Fan means that we should go back and pack our things as soon as possible, so that we can leave at the end of August.

In this way, I will be able to go to the capital in mid-September, and then I will finish my first or two days, and I will enter the academy to study in late September..."

Master Fan Shan knew that the two children were precocious, so when discussing this matter, he said it directly in front of the two children.

Gu Jinnian paused, and continued: "Mom, let's go back tomorrow!"

Su Mo frowned slightly, this sounded a bit rushed.

Moreover, Gu Jinnian's birthday is on August [-]th, so she originally wanted to celebrate Gu Jinnian's birthday directly in Yaozhou Mansion, so that the family can have a good time.

But if he wanted to rent a carriage tomorrow, he would have to wait until noon to set off. There would be delays on the way, and he would have to stay at a post station to rest at night. By the time he got home, it would be the night of the [-]th.

Su Mo hesitated for a while, but finally said: "It will be your birthday soon..."

Gu Jinnian interrupted Su Mo very calmly, "Mother, it's just a birthday, and my son will have many birthdays in the future."

Su Mo was silent. She looked at Gu Jinnian for a long while, then shifted her gaze to Chen Qingzhou who had been sitting quietly.

She asked: "Qing Zhou, what about you? Are you also planning to go back tomorrow?"

Chen Qingzhou smiled shyly, "Auntie, I've been away for so many days, my mother may have given birth to younger siblings..."

Su Mo immediately understood that these two children had ideas.

She hooked her lips and smiled, since that's the case, why should she stop her.

"Well, after dinner at night, I'll go and talk to Master Xie."

They came together at the beginning, so they couldn't just leave without saying hello.

"You two have worked hard in the past few days. Go to rest. I bought a lot of vegetables. I will have a big meal tonight. I will sleep well and recharge my spirits. I will go home in a carriage tomorrow."

She stood up, patted the shoulders of the two children, and walked out.

At this time, it's time to start working on dinner.

Gu Qinhan was already in the kitchen. He was washing and chopping vegetables. Seeing Su Mo with a smile on his face, he immediately said, "Is that done?"

Su Mo nodded and sighed, "The two children have grown up and have made up their minds. Just go back after explaining to me, pack up your things earlier, and go to Beijing earlier."

Gu Qinhan stopped chopping vegetables, lowered his eyes, covered the emotions in his eyes, and made his tone sound unchanged, "When is the earlier time to go to Beijing?"

"Go back and pack your things, and get everything done, and then you can go."

Su Mo didn't hide it, she rolled up her sleeves, stood aside to help wash the vegetables, and told Gu Qinhan everything that Gu Jinnian told her.
