Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 172 Disrespect
Mu Ai smiled faintly, "Old Madam Wang is not feeling well. The journey back to the village will take a long time."

Wang Shusheng hesitated for a while, complaining to his mother in his heart, he just got out of the car, met the master's family, and tried his best to be courteous, how could it weaken the integrity of our scholarly family?

At this time, an old lady's voice came from the green cloth pony carriage, "Mrs. Xian, don't worry about your old body. It's cold here. My child studies hard all day. His body is thin. I'm afraid it won't last so long. We should go on the road earlier." Bar."

After she finished these few words, even Kong Xi and the others frowned, and Ouyang even glanced at the pony carriage with a stern look in his eyes.

The old lady didn't get out of the car to meet the ceremony, she had lost her manners, and at this moment, she didn't allow her son to cover up his discomfort with excuses, but instead blamed the Lord's family for talking too much, which caused his child to blow more cold wind, which was a bit too unruly, it was simply He didn't take the host family seriously.

Mu Ai raised her eyebrows, and her voice faded, "Oh? I really don't know that Mr. Wang is so weak. What should I do? Our mountain village is located in the wind, and the wind blows constantly all year round. If Mr. Wang But this concubine is sympathetic, and followed us back to the village. I lost my health, and if I delay the future exams, it would be my fault. This is really not thinking carefully." This is polite, but the meaning It's very clear, just tell the old lady of the Wang family that if your son is not in good health, don't let him come out to earn money, earn my money, and look down on me and play tricks on me, then don't go.

As soon as Wang Shusheng heard his mother's words, he knew that the master's family was angry. He had already told all his classmates about this teaching job. Moreover, it was really rare to teach only one child and give 20 taels a year. Rich, in the future he will spend all his travel expenses to go to the big exam, but he can count on the past two years of Shuxiu.So he immediately interjected, "No, no, ma'am, ma'am..." But he couldn't say that he was not afraid of the wind, and his body was as weak as his mother said, and finally he was so anxious that he wanted to stomp his feet.

Mrs. Wang originally supported a scholarly family, and her son is a scholar, so she was a little wronged to be a husband to a small peasant family.Therefore, I wanted to give the master a disgrace, so that people would not dare to underestimate their mother and son, but I didn't expect that the polite son would be resigned after a few words. The wife is also a little panicked, after all, her eyesight is already bad, and she earns a few pennies by doing needlework supplements, and she can't even support her daily necessities.Without this job, the son would have no money to take the exam.The old lady gritted her teeth to suppress the unwillingness and humiliation in her heart, opened the car door and got out of the car, walked up to Mu Ai, reluctantly saluted for a while, and then said, "Madam Xian is well, I am too worried as a mother. I This kid is not weak, and he can still afford the job of teaching."

Mu Ai didn't return the salute, just smiled and gave her a hand, and said, "That's good, I have studied hard for ten years, if because of this errand, Mr. Wang is delayed from taking the exam, we will be guilty of a big sin." Said After that, he turned around and said to everyone, "It's getting late, let's all get in the car and hurry."

The maids and guards agreed with each other, and then dispersed to perform their duties. No one paid any attention to the old lady of the Wang family. The old lady of the Wang family tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and was helped by Wang Shusheng into the car.

Ouyang motioned for Kong Xi to come and drive the cart, then turned around and came to the cart of Wang's mother and son, staring at him with one look, the coachman immediately moved to the other side, grabbed the whip himself, set up the cart and followed behind his two carts .

Mu Ai and the children sat in the big carriage, with a charcoal basin at the door, and they covered their feet with blankets so they didn't feel cold at all. They talked and laughed all the way out of the city gate, and it was pretty peaceful. On the mountain road, she always seemed to be able to hear low exclamations and knocking sounds from behind, so she asked, "What happened behind?"

The spring equinox who was guarding the door had a strange expression on his face. He seemed to be suppressing a smile and said, "Return to Madam, the mountain road is rough. Ouyang's guard is worried that the driver is not good at work, so he personally holds the whip to drive Mr. Wang's mother and son."

After hearing this, Mu Ai burst out laughing with a "puchi", knowing in her heart that this must be Ouyang dealing with that rude and arrogant old lady.It's just that I always see him with a cold face on weekdays, even when the two of them are drinking and chatting together, I don't see him smiling. It's the first time I've seen him take such childish revenge...

There was no talking all the way, at the end of noon, everyone arrived at the entrance of the village, the carriage stopped in front of the old lady's yard, Mu Ai ordered Xia Zhi to send the children back home first, and she took Chunfen Xiao'an, and personally sent the Wang family's mother and son into the yard.

The yard was quiet, and the spring equinox came forward and called out twice, and Xiaohua ran out of the kitchen. It turned out that Li Sheng had gone out early in the morning, and Huzi and the old lady were taking a nap.Mu Ai settled the mother and son of the Wang family and sat down in the hall, and then went in to wake up the old lady. As soon as the old lady heard that Hu Zi's husband and old mother had arrived, she was about to change into the clothes of the guest, and she kept talking about the table in the room. Chairs and bedding, etc., for fear of neglecting the husband's family.

Mu Ai frowned, pulled her to sit by the bed, and persuaded her with a smile, "Grandma, don't worry, just listen to Xianxian. Grandma, although this Mr. Wang was born as a scholar, he will go there in a few years. But now we spend money to hire him to enlighten Huzi, he is the husband of our Li family. It is his duty as a teacher to teach Huzi to understand etiquette, know how to advance and retreat, can write and count, and we also take Give him a generous reward. However, grandma must not be too polite and let them forget her current identity. After all, we will be together for a long time for two or three years in the future. Grandma said, is Xianxian right?"

The old lady frowned and thought about it for a moment, then nodded, patted her hand and said, "Well, you are right to think about it. Because grandma is illiterate, she has always respected scholars. But now she is taking money as the master, so she really wants to Some look like masters."

"Yes, grandma has to act like an old lady in charge of the family. She should not be too accommodating. We can only respect him because he taught Huzi wholeheartedly, but not because we are peasants, so we should be lower than them. However, Grandma, Huzi is used to being loose, so it must be difficult to teach him, Mr. Wang may use some tricks to establish rules, grandma must not be too soft-hearted." Mu Ai was still worried that the old lady would be soft-hearted, and because of Huzi's stubborn temper, beating would be the right thing to do. Inevitably, it is necessary to vaccinate the old lady first.

The old lady actually laughed when she heard this, "You ghost girl, grandma is so old, how can she not understand the principle of strict teachers and high apprentices? Don't worry, grandma will not be soft-hearted. I also prepared a set for Mr. It's something." As she said, she took out a wide ebony ruler from the big vase beside the bed, and Mu Ai couldn't help grinning, it turned out that the weapon used to teach the students in Baihua Kingdom was a standard one, and it was actually the same as the one in Suiyuan. exactly the same.

Grandfather and grandson opened the door and entered the hall. Wang Shusheng and his mother were drinking tea. Mrs. Wang looked at the tables and chairs in the room, vases and incense burners, with a complicated look in her eyes, as if she was a little guilty and puzzled.

Mu Ai supported the old lady to sit in the main seat, then stood respectfully by the side, pointed to the mother and son of the Wang family who had stood up with a smile, and said, "Grandma, this Wang Xiucai is the enlightenment Mr. He is about to go to Huadu to catch the exam, so he is really a rare person with real talents and practical learning."

Wang Shusheng came forward to salute the old lady, and said, "The old lady is well, Xiaosheng will do his best to teach students."

The old lady nodded with a smile, "Then it will be troublesome for Mr.

Mu Ai pointed to Mrs. Wang again and said, "Grandma, this is Mr. Wang's mother, and she will live in our house together in the future. Grandma usually has several talking and sewing companions."

Mrs. Wang seemed to have hesitated for a moment, but she still stepped forward to salute and said, "Old lady is well."

The old lady hurriedly got up and returned the half-respect, glanced at her granddaughter slightly, and then said, "I am fifty-one this year, I think I should be a few years older, sisters of the Wang family should stop calling me old lady, call me old sister , we will live together for a long time in the future, if you have any inconvenience, you can let me know, don't wrong Mr. Wang."

The words were polite, the Queen Mother's complexion improved a lot, and she thanked her immediately.

"Okay, grandma, this road is rough and bumpy. Mr. Wang and his son may be tired, so let's show them where they live first." Mu Ai reminded with a smile.

"Okay, I..." The old lady was about to get up and take them to the wing herself, but was stopped by her granddaughter.So he changed his words and said, "I... I have one more thing to give to Mr. Wang." Then she handed the ruler at her hand to Chun Equinox, and she handed it to Wang Scholar.

"This ruler was specially prepared by the old man for Mr. Wang. From now on, my grandson will be naughty, so I don't have to look at my face, as long as he disciplines me severely. The old man will definitely not feel sorry for it. I hope you can take care of me."

Wang Shusheng hurriedly saluted again with the ruler in both hands. He also heard from those students who had been teachers that many of them had a rift with their teachers because the housekeeper punished the students. A sensible and good family.Immediately promised again and again, "I will live up to the old lady's trust."

The old lady nodded in satisfaction, and ordered Xiao Hua to send their mother and son to the East Wing where they lived temporarily to rest.

The East Wing has already been cleaned and arranged properly.In the south room with a small door opened alone, in addition to the carved wooden bed, there are also soft couch and small table under the window. There are new bedding on the bed, embroidered pillows and blankets on the couch, and tea sets on the small table. Simple and comfortable, Mrs. Wang fell in love with it at first sight, and her body bones that were almost knocked out of the air just now didn't feel too much pain.

She would be even more satisfied when she looked at her son's inner room and study in the north. The inner room was also filled with new quilts. There is also a row of books and ancient shelves beside the wall, and the big boxes of books waiting to be placed on the son are the best place to read.Thinking that her son would teach and study hard here in the future, the old lady finally suppressed the last bit of unwillingness in her heart, and unpacked and unpacked her luggage.
