Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 121

Back at the inn, seeing that Shi Dayong's family hadn't come back, Lin Baozhu looked at the wrinkled clothes on her body, so she simply went back to the room to wash up, and then changed into a clean one.It was also thanks to her foresight that she brought a spare set of clothes when she came here, fearing that it would be a joke if the clothes on her body were dirty and not changed.

It was almost evening when Shi Dayong brought Zhang Xiuniang and Zhaodi back.Seeing a few people carrying big and small bags in their hands, it seems that they have gained a lot, and Zhaodi, who is originally a reserved person, is a little happy at the moment, especially after seeing Lin Baozhu, her eyes light up immediately Yes, and brought a small box over.

"Auntie, I picked this one for you to wear." It seemed that the little girl gave someone a gift in such a serious manner for the first time, and she also gave her the body of the orb that she admired and liked wholeheartedly, her face was red His eyes are full of pleasure and joy.

Lin Baozhu sighed, seeing her happy expression, naturally couldn't bear to say anything to refuse the politeness.Originally, the two families had been getting along for a long time, and she treated them sincerely, so she took it over without any hesitation, and opened it in Zhaodi's expectant eyes.

Inside is a brightly colored bracelet made of red string, it looks like the shape and pattern that girls at Zhaodi's age like.Although she was past that age, she still couldn't bear to shake Zhaodi's heart.

In fact, in the previous life, when she was as old as Zhaodi, she also liked to play with these like other little girls.At that time, every time I learned to weave a knot or some rare shape, I would be proud of myself for many days.I especially remember that glass ropes seemed to be very popular at that time, and a few small bells were braided together as bracelets.Of course, I also make a ring or something next to it, which is full of memories when I think about it.

She picked up the red string bracelet, then smiled and asked Zhaodi to help put it on.He didn't look at Shi Dayong and Zhang Xiuniang who were hesitant to talk behind him. Instead, he raised his arms and looked at it for a while, and then said happily to Zhao Di: "Auntie likes this bracelet very much. Seeing that the bright red one is wearing it. , it seems that my aunt is quite white."

After being praised, Zhaodi's face was naturally flushed, but she still said a little embarrassedly: "I will buy a better-looking one for my aunt in the future."

Seeing this scene, Shi Dayong and Zhang Xiuniang were moved.Originally they thought that their daughter was messing around, others didn't know, but they really knew that, as the real manager of Zhang Ji, Baozhu had no shortage of spare items at all.What's more, after all, she is the head of Zhang Ji's family, so she can still see a red rope?
But now seeing her daughter's happy appearance, and seeing Lin Baozhu holding her daughter and talking in a low voice, the eyes of the two of them couldn't help but look at each other with a smile, and they became more and more determined to repay their friendship.

After shopping around the street all day and buying a lot of things, Zhaodi couldn't finish talking when asked by her aunt.Occasionally being praised by Aunt Baozhu, she still feels a little shy and embarrassed, but she is happy in her heart.

After talking a little bit, Lin Baozhu called the waiter to order some food and have it delivered to the room.Although they opened two rooms, it is better to have dinner together.

While eating, Lin Baozhu told Shi Dayong about the old Mr. Zhao in the east of the city.When he said this, Shi Dayong exclaimed, and then asked, could it be the old gentleman who came back from Dazhou City?
The two of them looked like they were really one person.Seeing that Shi Dayong seemed to know something, Lin Baozhu couldn't help asking.

It turned out that old Mr. Zhao really had some reputation, and he was said to be able to get a name in Yanjing. Although he was not comparable to those contemporary great Confucians, he was also really talented and learned.When Shi Dayong was an errand in the county government, he once heard from the master secretary that the old gentleman had a very weird temper, not to mention his eyes were higher than his head, it was about the same.The point is, people look down on money-smelling businessmen who are only interested in profit.
Having said this, Shi Dayong looked at Lin Baozhu in some embarrassment.If that old gentleman can really be invited to sit in the library as a teacher, it will be a blessing for generations of Taoshuwan Village.Unfortunately, that private school still bears the name of Zhang Ji.

"Didn't he come here because of some trouble?" Lin Baozhu frowned, thinking of finding a good way, at least to make people relax.

Originally, she planned to hire them with a lot of money, or to give some benefits in the face of difficulties, as a kindness, and then let people relax.After all, no matter how capable a down-and-out gentleman is, he still needs something to eat.

But now it seems that she still thinks simply, at least, the old gentleman's distaste for the smell of copper is enough to show his nobility.Anyway, whether it is true or not, it is estimated that there will be some strange temper.

"I don't know about this. He has been in Taoxi County for a long time, and he has lived in seclusion on weekdays and has never dealt with anyone. The lord has also ordered the yamen, don't go to the east of the city to disturb the old man. "Shi Dayong thought for a while, but didn't think of one or two.He thought, maybe a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, adults are also afraid of causing trouble, after all, maybe an old gentleman will come out of nowhere to teach students who have already achieved success.

Lin Baozhu nodded, thinking for a while, only to feel a headache.Before, I thought that setting up a private school was not a big deal. After all, Li Zheng also said that as long as it is not a government school, there is no need to report to the government.

But the reality gave her a blow. Without a backstage or a background, relying only on money, she couldn't move forward in this hierarchical society.Even a scholar with a little temper or ability will not follow him to a private school in the village for that little bit of repair.

Is it really necessary to find a down-and-out scholar who makes a living on calligraphy and painting on the street to teach children knowledge?Leaving aside his knowledge and character, if he said he wanted to preach and teach and solve doubts, it would only be superficial.

"Forget it, let's go and have a look tomorrow, and if it doesn't work, then we can think of other ways." Lin Baozhu rubbed his throbbing head, but if it didn't work, he asked Liu Jincai to teach him for a few days first, no matter how you say it, you have to do it first Open the private school.

After eating, it was already late.Whether it was Lin Baozhu who went to the barracks during the day, or the three members of Shi's family who went shopping all day, they were all a little tired at the moment, so they simply fell asleep.

Because Lin Baozhu was alone, Zhaodi stayed with her as company.

That night, several people slept very soundly, and when they woke up again, it was already bright.There were also shouts from early morning sellers and street vendors outside, mixed with the cool air in the early morning, it was really refreshing.

While the few people were eating, Lin Baozhu and some clever fellows inquired about Mr. Zhao in the east of the city, but they couldn't find out anything.Just the rumors say that the old gentleman is very weird, has a bad temper and can't handle things, and doesn't even have a neighbor.

Seeing that Sao couldn't hear anything, Lin Baozhu put out all her plans.Originally, I wanted to do what he liked, at least I had to know where his weirdness was so I could deal with it.But after asking around, no one can say one, two, three.

No matter what, people definitely want to take a look and invite them once.So after dinner, let Zhang Xiuniang take Zhaodi to buy some more things, and she went out with Shi Dayong.

Since you want to visit people, naturally you can't be empty-handed.After thinking about it, Lin Baozhu went to Anping Tea Store to buy some high-quality tea leaves, and then took out the white chicken crown spring tea that she had wrapped for her own use, and finally gritted her teeth and bought some ancient books .

It was said to be an ancient book, but Lin Baozhu didn't know the year, but she chose two books based on her sharp eyesight.Anyway, no matter what, it was always her mind.At that time, regardless of whether the old gentleman accepts it or not, he should be able to add more points.

I don't know if it will be useful to hold Buddha's feet temporarily, anyway, the mule cart is heading towards the east of the city at this moment.

After all, the county seat is like a town, and people come and go only when there is a market.Here, even if it is not time to go to the market, there are people coming from all over the road.It was also to avoid crowded places, so they walked around from outside the county town along the way.Fortunately, Shi Dayong knew the way well, so he didn't feel embarrassed.

On the road, I ran into many ox carts or mule carts, and some people took their children to rest on the side of the road. Several people gathered together to talk, their eyebrows and eyes were full of excitement, so it was lively.Even if the family is poor and they only wear coarse clothes, as long as they are together, they will have a bright future.Occasionally, there will be men carrying firewood, probably in exchange for some copper coins to live on.

Lin Baozhu looked at the people on the road, and the anxiety that had arisen just now gradually subsided.If you come here, you will be at ease, it is good to be able to invite someone out of the mountain, if you can't invite someone, it can be considered that she has made an effort.

Thinking of this, she was no longer upset, and simply turned her head to An Ansheng to look around.It's late autumn, and the corn in the fields has been harvested. Occasionally, I will see a vegetable garden that has begun to wither and some vegetable seedlings are crawling on the vegetable shelf.

The mule cart creaked all the way, and it took a quarter of an hour before it stopped.

"Sisters and sisters, the place is here. But it seems that there is no one there."

Lin Baozhu raised her eyebrows, and jumped out of the mule cart to have a look.This place is really remote, much farther than Liu Zi's residence, if you walk a few steps, you will be out of the city.However, compared to the hustle and bustle of the county, this place is considered quiet.

Looking at the two willow trees in front of the gate, the deep path and the two deserted flower beds by the fence, she couldn't help but think of a poem.The winding path leads to a secluded place, and the flowers and trees in the meditation room are deep.If this is in spring and summer, I'm afraid it will be really artistic.

But now she was not in the mood to appreciate anything, and looked up at the thatched house in the fenced yard. The door was closed tightly, and there was no sound at all, as if no one was there.

But when she saw the books drying on the big rocks in the yard, she couldn't help but smile.I'm afraid it's not that I'm not there, but that I want to hide from people.

She wasn't afraid to wait, anyway, she had nothing else to do today, after all this trouble, she was really unwilling to see her again.Simply, she sat on the mule cart again, drank two mouthfuls of water from the water bag, and woke up.

Today's weather is not good, I'm afraid it will rain soon.
