Chapter 931 Mr. Ma (17)

Sure enough, as Lin Fugui said, many people from the city came to Chengnan Academy, and she also saw an ox cart at the door. that one.

The man sitting on the oxcart waiting for school to pull students looks a few years older than Lin Fugui, but he is in good spirits and has good eyesight. Whenever someone walks back and forth or looks at him, he will be very enthusiastic to ask people what they need. No need for a car.

Lin Yuan nodded secretly, just looking at this man's heart, his business will not be bad.

It was not time for school to end, and Lin Yuan and the others could still hear the sound of the students reading loudly in the house in the yard.

As soon as she came to the school, Xiao Linshuang became energetic immediately. After listening carefully to their reading voices for a while, she happily said to Lin Yuan, "Sister, they are reading "Mencius."

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, but Lin Yuan didn't realize that she had learned at most a few lines of "The Analects" in the Four Books, which was forced to memorize by the Chinese teacher when she was in school!
A few people quietly came to the window of the classroom. Meng Liangdong was in class, dressed in a green cloth robe, full of bookishness, shaking his head with the rhythm of the students studying.

Although this appearance was a bit funny, but because he was very serious and focused, he didn't notice Lin Yuan and the others peeking at the window.

Afraid of disturbing everyone, Lin Yuan hurriedly called a few people to the next room.This room is for gentlemen to rest. In the room, Mr. Cheng is sitting at the table, holding a vermilion pen in his hand, and a stack of papers full of words in front of him. It seems that he is giving students They correct homework.

Besides Mr. Cheng, there is also a young man in the room, who is sitting on a small stool, mending clothes with a needle and thread!
Even though he is young and a man, he still looks good when he sews clothes.

Lin Wei was very curious, she quietly walked behind him and looked over, and couldn't help but whisper, "It's not sewn here!"

The young man was concentrating on his work, when suddenly someone spoke above his head, his hands trembled in fright, and the needle immediately stuck into his finger.

"Ah! Miss Lin! Why did you suddenly scare me again!" The young man put his finger in his mouth and sucked it, then frowned and complained.

But as soon as he finished these words, he suddenly remembered something, opened his eyes and shouted: "Miss Lin? Master! Miss Xiaolin? Are you all back?"

Old Mr. Cheng, who was concentrating on correcting his homework, also raised his head in surprise, and turned to look at Lin Yuan and the others. His eyes were not working well, and people in the distance had to be differentiated to see clearly.

However, a happy smile soon appeared on his old face, and he put down the vermilion pen in his hand and came tremblingly: "Yuan'er, it really is you! When did you come back?"

Lin Yuan hurried up to support Mr. Cheng, let him sit in a chair beside him, and chatted with him: "It's been a few days since I've been back, and I'm only free to come to town today. Mister, you're in poor health." fine?"

"Okay, okay! Thanks to you, I'm doing very well!" It was indeed thanks to Lin Yuan's blessing that he not only provided Chengnan Academy with a lot of good things, but also sent him a young man to take care of him. He, as well as these children in the south of the city, had a better chance of going to school because of Lin Yuan.

The young man who was serving Mr. Cheng over there also excitedly put his clothes aside, and shouted loudly that he was going to find Meng Liangdong.

Lin Yuan quickly stopped him: "Mr. Meng is in class! Don't go!"

Mr. Cheng also nodded and said: "It's still this impetuous temper. Have you finished copying the Three Character Classic? No? Wait and finish copying the Three Character Classic, otherwise you won't be allowed to eat at noon!"

That young man squinted his mouth in grievance, he was always a servant to serve others, why did he have to do one more job of practicing calligraphy?

Having said that, the young man also knows that Mr. Cheng is doing it for his own good. In the words of Mr. Cheng, he is still young, and he can't always do the work of serving others. When he learns to read, he can do what he wants thing.

As for what he wants to do, the little guy doesn't quite understand now, anyway, he can earn a lot of money and support his parents.

Looking at the sky, Lin Wei, Xiaohe, and Xiao Linshuang went outside to wait. The three of them went to school here, and they still have many good friends. Today they came back, so naturally they are going to meet and chat with old friends. .

The three of them ran out and waited for the end of get out of class. Lin Yuan sat and chatted with Mr. Cheng in the room, and they talked about Ma Junying who had been coming to the school all the time.

"You are in the capital and should be better informed than us. Mr. Ma won the first prize this year, but..."

Seeing Mr. Cheng's somewhat disappointed expression, Lin Yuan couldn't bear to tell him that Ma Junying was busy in the capital managing his staff as an official, but said in relief: "Mr. , everyone misunderstood him about this matter. He is not ungrateful or anything, but he just won the first prize in the exam and was awarded the Imperial Academy. You should also know, old man, that when he first became an official, he naturally had to behave well In addition, the owner of Ma Zhuang bought a new house in the capital, and there are many things to deal with, so he should not come back for a while."

Mr. Cheng thought about it for a while. Although he also understood this point, he still felt bad in his heart.

Lin Yuan said again: "You really wronged him by slandering him like this. That day Mr. Ma came to Dongtian to find me on purpose after high school, and asked me to bring you something. By the way, he even asked me to send you a message." , Said that he is busy now and has no time to spare, and when he is not busy, he must come back and copy the book for you!"

Old Mr. Cheng was relieved now, stroked his not-too-long beard, and laughed: "Copy books? Now that you have the movable type printing you want, why do you need to copy books? He just needs to have this kind of heart, hey, you I don’t know, the old man and him are friends who have forgotten their years. I am very happy to hear that he is in high school. It’s just that I am angry and puzzled when I hear those people say that he is ungrateful and that he forgets his roots. It stands to reason that he is not such a person Ah! But it’s all right now. With Yuan’er’s words from you, the old man can rest assured. This child values ​​love and righteousness, and he will definitely come back when he says it. The old man is still waiting for him to be an upright official to win glory for our Zhuma Town !"

After hearing Mr. Cheng's words, Lin Yuan also had feelings. She was also Ma Junying's friend, so she naturally hoped that he would be well.

"Oh, by the way, shopkeeper Liu came to me suddenly a few days ago, saying that he was going to the capital to help you take care of the new shop. It seems that your child is doing well in the capital. Well, you are both good and promising children!"
