Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 707

Liu Ya really did not expect that out of respect and love for the old man, she patiently accompanied him for a while and got such great benefits.

The two servants sized Liu Ya up and down with wary faces again, probably wondering if this little girl had planned in advance.But Liu Ya's face was frank, and she stared back at the two servants bluntly.

Although the old man always said that he was old and had bad eyesight, he saw Liu Ya's little gesture, and then he laughed "haha".He said to the two boys: "A girl in her teens, what else can she think about? What's more, if I come to this bookstore for a walk when I'm free, who would know me? In Anji City, who really knows me?" There are not many people here. Okay, let’s go back.”

The old man was probably afraid that the two servants would embarrass Liu Ya, so he asked the two of them to leave.The three of them walked a few steps, the old man remembered something again, turned around and asked Liu Ya, "You said just now that you want your younger brother to study? How old is your younger brother?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ya quickly said: "Mr. Hui, my younger brother is over nine years old, almost ten years old. In the government-run school examination in Guyushu Town, he got a good result at the top of the red list."

"No. [-] on the red list? What is that?" The old man scratched his head, puzzled, and said, "I've heard about the fact that there is a government-run school in Guyushu Town, but it doesn't seem to be doing very well. A native son of a squire, no matter how big his name is, he may not be able to make a name for himself."

After hearing this, Liu Ya laughed secretly, thinking that the old man spoke so directly.However, his identity is there, so no one dares to criticize him when he speaks like this.It's just this sentence, but Liu Ya can't accept it.If she scolds other people's sons along with the old man, it will appear that she has no quality.

The old man muttered a few words, then turned back to the topic, and said to Liu Ya: "Hearing what you said, I think your younger brother is literate, so why not send him to the city to attend school. But, in the north of the city The conditions of the school nearby are good, but those dudes really don’t know how to make progress. If your family is not well off, don’t learn from them. It’s better to go to the north of the city, where there are still some children who study hard and want to make a leap What about Longmen?"

Liu Ya thanked her quickly after hearing this, and said: "My younger brother can read and write a few pairs, compose one or two poems, and knows the rules and etiquette. I just hope to meet a good gentleman and let him learn more. Things, and then broaden your horizons."

The old man nodded and said: "Okay, that's good. You little girl speaks very well, and understands politeness and rules. If you are not a girl, you should be accepted to study in the school. Okay, I will help you Let me know, as for when to send your brother here, you can follow Wu Xiaosi's arrangement. Wu Xiaosi is the shopkeeper of this bookstore, and also a former servant of our family. Down."

After finishing speaking, the old man left with the two servants.Liu Ya stood here, feeling a little uneasy for a while.

From the time she crossed over to prop up a poor family, she walked out step by step.Whether it was picking up old bowls thrown away by others to sell, or planning to hoard fruit, wood and firewood to get [-]% of the shares in Hongxiufang, it was all planned by her own brain bit by bit.This is really the first time I have encountered such a good thing when I went out to meet a nobleman.

And the thing that made her happiest was finding a place for Xiao Shuer to study again.No matter how you say here, it is all in the city, and according to the old man, the schools in the south of the city are all poor children, and the learning atmosphere should be not bad.What's more, with such an old gentleman sitting here, it is estimated that there will not be people like Mr. Dong in the school here.

Just thinking about it, I saw a man in his early thirties running back in a hurry.He held a small cloth bag in one hand, and there was a faint smell of tobacco; in the other hand, he held a white paper bag, which should be the big pancakes from the west of the city.

The man ran over, looked left and right, probably looking for the old man, and then saw Liu Ya standing at the door, with a hint of doubt on his face, and asked, "Little girl, do you want to buy something?"

"No." Liu Ya got out of the way, pointed to the pile of books that had just been put down, and said, "I came to deliver books, and I happened to meet an old gentleman who said he had accepted all my books. Then two younger brothers came to pick him up, and took the old man away. I am waiting here, helping to check the door of this bookstore, and I will leave when you come back and tell Mr. Wu Si."

Hearing Liu Ya call him "Mr. Wu Si", the man was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and said: "My surname is not Wu, but my surname is Tan, and my name is Si Wu. As a result, the old man called me Wu Xiaosi since he was a child, It’s also really misleading.”

Liu Ya was taken aback when she heard that, then she smiled and said, "This really seems like something that old gentleman would do."

Qin Siwu asked Liu Ya again: "The girl, do you have anything else to do? Thank you for looking after the store for me. If there is nothing wrong, I will close the door here for a while. I have to give the pancakes and shredded tobacco to the old man first." Send it over."

Liu Ya said: "It's okay. Then I'll go first, the old man asked me to come back tomorrow."

Qin Siwu nodded, knowing that the old man must have explained those books.Then he told Liu Ya to let her come over at this time tomorrow, and if the bookstore is not open after coming, just wait for a while.

Liu Ya agreed one by one.just left.After walking for a while, Liu Ya found that the road became more and more familiar, and after a closer look, she turned out to be almost at Maliu's house.

Thinking of the last time I saw a doctor for Ma Liu's uncle, he gave him a strong medicine.I didn't see Ma Liu after that, and I don't know what happened to his uncle.Liu Ya thought, she should go and have a look.After all, Ma Liu is a filial son, and he promised to change his ways last time. If she sees that Ma Liu is still fooling around this time, she really doesn't intend to meddle in such nosy matters in the future.

Turn a corner, walk along the base of the city wall, and soon arrive at Maliujia.Before Liu Ya entered the door, she saw a young daughter-in-law coming out of it. She didn't look very good-looking, but she was quite upright and attractive.I was still carrying a small basket in my hand, but it was now empty.

Seeing Liu Ya walk to the door and look in, the little daughter-in-law was also taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Little girl, who are you looking for?"

Liu Ya replied: "I'm looking for Ma Liu. He also has an uncle who lives here with him."

"Ma Liu has gone out to work. Do you have anything to do with him? Uncle Ma just took a break. If it's not something urgent, can you talk to me? I'm their neighbor." After finishing speaking, the little daughter-in-law pointed to the next room pointed.But there were several rooms slipping over there, and Liu Ya didn't know which one she was referring to.
