Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 286
Hu Dunru resigned and returned to Liaodong, but Ning Wan didn't know where he was now, so he and Tie Shi first went to Mayi Town to inquire.

Everyone in the town knew Ning Wan and knew that she was well married. Now that she came back riding a tall horse in extraordinary clothes, they were very affectionate. When they asked about Hu Dunru, they smiled and told her, "Your third brother is now taking over from the Xu family. Teaching in the school."

It has been less than a month since Hu Dunru returned to his hometown, but unexpectedly he has already taken over the school!Ning Wan originally planned to take advantage of the third brother's leisure time in Hu's village to invite him, so she smiled and said, "It's so fast, I didn't take a rest at home."

Everyone said: "It's also a coincidence. When Mr. Hu came back, Mr. Xu was going to the south to join his son. He was worried that no one would take over the school. He even lent him the house when he met his favorite student. Now, you The third elder brother either exempted or reduced the training, and recruited many students to study, which is more prosperous than the previous school."

Hou Dunru did the same way back then!
Ning Wan nodded, and walked over with Tie Shi leading the horse, and heard the sound of Lang Lang reading from a distance.

When he reached the gate of Xu's house and tapped on the iron ring on it, the person who came to answer the door was Mrs. Gu, dressed in a jingchai sarong, without a speck of rich or casual makeup, and holding his youngest son in his arms.

Gu Shi smiled and let them into the room, "Hurry up and sit down, he is teaching a class, it's not easy to call at this time. I'll make tea." He went down with his youngest son in his arms.

Ning Wan hurriedly followed, and seeing Gu's holding her son in one hand and cooking tea in the other, she knew that the Hu family didn't even invite a servant.The third brother's salary is naturally not much, but the third sister-in-law's dowry is quite a lot. Now that he is living in such poverty, it is obvious that the money is spent elsewhere, so he said while helping to get water: "My third brother's temper is too straight Let the sister-in-law suffer along with her."

Although she knew Hu Dunru before, she was only acquainted with him a few times, and she respected his character very much, but she didn't think about the rest.Now that she has become relatives with the Hu family, and has become acquainted with the village chief Hu, the godmother, and the third sister-in-law, while Ning Wan still respects Hu Dunru, she also has a little more emotion for the third brother's family.

Take Mrs. Gu for example. It turned out that Mrs. Gu was a young lady who was pampered at home since she was a child. She was so delicate when she first married the third brother, but now she looks like an ordinary woman with rough hands and feet in the countryside at first glance. up.Mrs. Gu still doesn't know why she feels distressed!
Of course, there are also Village Head Hu and Ganniang. Knowing that the son who has worked so hard to support his studies will abandon his official position and return to his hometown to teach, he must feel uncomfortable!

Therefore, Hu Dunru had such a high reputation and was respected by so many people. In fact, it was not only his own efforts, but also the sacrifice of everyone.

Fortunately, Gu Shi didn't have any complaints. He made tea with a smile and said: "The so-called 'marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, marry a pole and carry it away.' Since I married your third brother, I naturally want everything. With him, it doesn't matter what suffers or not."

There are many women in the world like this, Ning Wan nodded after hearing this, and saw the son in Gu's arms looking eagerly at the snack box she put on the kang, but didn't say a word, feeling a little sore in her heart, she opened a box Send it in front of the child, "Eat it like that, aunt will buy it later."

After all, he was a child, swallowed his saliva when the dim sum was placed in front of his eyes, but turned his head to look at his mother without reaching out.

Gu Shi felt sorry for his son, nodded, and felt a little embarrassed when he saw his son devouring the food, "This child is too naive."

Ning Wan smiled and said: "Children naturally like these little snacks, and so does my Sophora japonica."

After chatting for a while, Hu Dunru came back from the back after class. He was very happy to see Wanmei and her brother-in-law coming, and said to Gu Shi, "Go and buy a pot of wine on credit. I will drink and talk with my brother-in-law."

Ning Wan then stopped her, "We came here on business, we have to go home after talking, and you also know that he doesn't drink much." After talking about Hujushan's invitation to Mr. Said: "There is a residence on the mountain, Shu Xiu and the like are easy to talk about, just look at what the third brother means."

Hu Dunru shook his head immediately, "Of course you have good intentions, but I'm sorry I can't appreciate it. Now that I have taken over the school in Mayi Town, I must do it well with my heart."

In fact, after Ning Wan and Tie Shi entered Xu's house, they both realized that it was impossible for Hu Dunru to go to Huju Mountain, but since they arrived, they had to make it clear, and they were not disappointed at the moment, so they both laughed: "We are just thinking about it." The third brother came here to ask after learning well, if it doesn’t work, it’s okay.”

Hu Dunru shook his head again, "Although I can't go, your school must be established, and you must run it well! How about this, let me introduce a gentleman for you. He didn't go well in the scientific examination, and now he only has the reputation of a scholar. But in fact, knowledge is not inferior to mine.”

Ning Wan and Tie Shi were willing to hear this, "If it can be so natural, we don't know the right husband."

Hu Dunru said: "The gentleman I'm talking about is named Mei, and he lives in Qili Village, not far from Hutai County." Then he wrote a letter to them, "His temperament is similar to mine, and it's out of date. People, so taking my letter can save some trouble." After finishing speaking, they must stay for dinner.

Indeed, it was time for dinner, and since they were relatives again, Tieshi and Ning Wan were not easy to push, and the Gu family had already cooked some vegetables and steamed a bowl of bacon, obviously it was already the best hospitality of the Hu family.

Everyone sat down to eat. Although they had separate tables, they were all in the same room, so it was convenient for them to talk.After a few words, he talked about the school again, and Hu Dunru said: "I went to the capital to participate in the scientific examination, and later I was sent to the south to be an official. Although I did nothing for more than a year, I also gained some knowledge. Those places It seems that there are beautiful and rich crops everywhere, but in fact, there are many people who are poor and have nowhere to stand, and some people even have to go to Liaodong to make a living; as for the extravagance and hypocrisy in the officialdom, officials collude with each other to fill their pockets, I can't bear it. I also disdain to associate with them, but there are many benefits that Liaodong does not have."

"What I am most interested in is the flourishing style of writing there. Not to mention the towns, there are schools in small villages, and there are schools in slightly larger families. There is also a kind of winter school, that is, in winter During the slack season, the school is specially set up for the children of poor farmers. Not only do the students not have to study, some of them are even exempted from the cost of meals..."

"In fact, I've only been an official for a few dozen days before returning home, but on the way back, I made up my mind to go back to Mayi Town to run the Winter School..."

Although there was no wine, and the dishes and meals were very simple, Hu Dunru didn't take it seriously at all, and talked and laughed happily, with high interest, while Ning Wan and Tie Shi were also fascinated by what they heard, and felt that the trip was worthwhile.

After leaving Hu's house, they invited Mei Xiucai as promised, and set up a school on Huju Mountain. It was just a whim before, for the convenience of keeping accounts in the coal field, but now they really realized the necessity of running a school.

After the school was established, because the Shuxiu was funded by Qianhu, many children went to study and read, and a few adults also went to attend classes. Mei Xiucai was also a person who taught with a correct mind and heart, and everything went well.

Only Mrs. Lu broke her promise.

After Tieshi returned to Hutai County for a month, he gave Lu Baihu a one-month leave, but when Lu Baihu came back from Anpingwei, he brought Peiyu with him. My son had an illness recently and did not make the trip.

Mrs. Lu also specially asked Peiyu to bring a letter to Mrs. Lu, telling her helplessness, and said that she would bring her youngest son to accompany Ning Wan when the spring blossoms next year.

Ning Wan is also a mother herself, and because Huai Hua'er only let Tie Shi go back to Huju Mountain by herself, so she understood very well, and sighed, "There is no way, we can't just ignore the two sons. "And put the matter down.

But it wasn't long before she saw something by accident, and she became worried, and she said to Tie Shi under the quilt: "I see that Peiyu seems to be pregnant, what's the matter?"

Tie Shi didn't take it to heart at all, "She's pregnant, so what does it have to do with you?"

"Hey!" Ning Wan sighed first, "Why has nothing to do with me? We were talking in the Zhao family's Zhuangzi a while ago, and I told Mrs. Lu that Peiyu is very responsible."

"So it's because you're pregnant that you're not doing your duty, so you should tell Mrs. Lu Shao."

Tie Shi didn't understand the twists and turns, and Ning Wan didn't tell him the secrets between women before, but after thinking about it now, she still didn't want to hide it from him, so she said: "When the elders of the Lu family gave birth to a concubine. I am afraid that the situation at that time was not good for the matter of competing with the concubine for succession. Later generations of commanders and colleagues did not have concubine sons—but the absence of concubine did not mean that there were no concubines and concubines, but their family had a secret recipe. If these people eat it, they will not be able to conceive and give birth to children."

It was the first time Lu Tieshi heard such a thing, "I really didn't expect such a secret recipe to exist in the world!"

Ning Wan said: "Of course we didn't know about it in the past, but according to Mrs. Lu, this medicine is very common in the families of high officials and dignitaries. It has been passed down from generation to generation. Some mistresses give it to concubines openly, and some secretly drug it." Yes, and the women in the back house murdered each other's heirs."

"Since this is the case, why did Peiyu become pregnant again after eating the secret recipe?"

"I don't know," Ning Wan said, "It is estimated that the secret recipe is not tried and tested, or she simply lied to Mrs. Lu and never took the medicine."

Only now did Tie Shi understand his daughter-in-law's embarrassment, "Then what are you going to do?"

"I don't know. If I tell Mrs. Lu, I'm afraid she will kill the child in Peiyu's belly in a fit of anger, and commit a crime; if she doesn't tell, she will be embarrassed in the future."

From Tieshi's point of view, the daughter-in-law's business is his business, so he immediately said: "You don't have to worry about it, just leave it to me."

Ning Wan just laughed, "You can take care of other things, so what do you do with the people in the house?"

"I only talk to Lu Baihu."

"I don't want it anymore," Ning Wan stopped him, "I just saw Peiyu vomit and feel suspicious, but I can't be sure that she is really pregnant, or it's just that she has a bad stomach and intestines. Even if she is really pregnant, we In fact, I didn’t feel sorry for Mrs. Lu, when we met some time ago, I repeatedly reminded her that it’s not appropriate to let Master Lu and Peiyu live on the mountain for too long.”

"So you wanted to see Mrs. Lu a few days ago just to say these few words?"

Ning Wan said sullenly: "Don't think it's a trivial matter." If Peiyu is really pregnant, Yu Lu Shaofu will be no less than the sky falling.

Although Tie Shi is not a meticulous person, but they have been married for some time, and the two have experienced some things. At this time, they can think of their daughter-in-law's thoughts, so they hugged her, "Don't worry, I will never let you be so embarrassing."

Ning Wan finally smiled, "Of course I know, otherwise how could I tell you the private conversation with Mrs. Lu?"
