Carpenter's Lady

Chapter 82

The Zheng family sent a nursing home to send A Zhu, Cheng Huan and Wu Ling all the way to the Ding family before they left. Ding Erniang saw the youngest son come back, tears streaming down her eyes, she won Juren, why did it start to be uneasy too!

"Mother, don't be sad, I'm back!" Ah Zhu cried when he saw his always tough mother, and felt a little sore in his heart.

"Azhu, I won't stay any longer. I'm going to go home and have a look. I'm afraid my parents don't know the news of my selection!" Seeing the reunion of Ding's family, Cheng Huan's heart became more and more heavy. .

"Brother Cheng, are you really not going to take the exam?" A Zhu thought of what Cheng Huan said on the road, and he disapproved in his heart.

"Zi Dan, you also know that my family is just an ordinary rich peasant, and it is not easy for me to study at home. Not to mention the many preparations for the Beijing Examination, I was lucky enough to pass the provincial examination, and I dare not think about it. I will send officials later, and I, a commoner, will have a difficult journey, so I will depend on you Zidan from now on!"

Seeing that Cheng Huan had made up his mind, Ah Zhu stopped persuading him any more. This incident had a profound impact on the two of them!

When he and Cheng Huan were shivering in the corner that night, they had already figured out who was behind the plot, and it was only because of their family fortune that they could insult them like this.

After all, the Cheng family is different from theirs. His elder brother and sister-in-law are already independent, and can help him a lot in the village. There are old and young in the Cheng family, and they are all waiting for Brother Cheng to go back to high school to feed him!

"Brother Cheng, I hope you will become a rich man with peace of mind in the future. When you are free, you should write more letters!"

"Hey, I will never forget Zidan, whoever I forget. In the future, I will send my younger sister and daughter to study in your women's school!" Cheng Huan finally hugged Azhu before leaving.

His school life in the past few years is also thanks to the many times of help from this kind-hearted little classmate!
Ding Erye planned to entertain Mr. A Zhu and several classmates at Wangxiang Tower every two days. Because the county magistrate sent congratulations, he also sent posts to the county magistrate, master Yan, and the two yamen servants from last time.

Ding Erniang was cruel this time, and took out 20 taels of silver to set up a banquet for Wangxianglou. Unexpectedly, the fat shopkeeper waved her hand with a smile: "Mrs. Ding is very polite, let your son high school be a member, and tell us about the stage for us." The county has earned glory, so why should you pay the money, it should be our filial piety!"

"How can this be!"

Ding Erniang was a little stunned for a moment!
"Mrs. Ding, please don't be polite to the villain. I will rely on your young master to take care of me in the future!"

Looking at Ding Erniang, the shopkeeper smiling into a fat chrysanthemum face, her heart was also twisted into a mess. Has my son stepped into the ranks of dignitaries since then?

Ding Erniang, who went out of Wangxiang Tower with the silver, looked back at Wangxiang Tower with some dismay. She also leapfrogged to become a wife?
When she got home, Ding Erniang was still a little confused. In the yard, Mrs. Zhang was sweeping the fallen leaves. Xiao Shui was squatting under the tree, holding a small dried fish in his hand to tease the beauty. , Taozi went back a few days ago, Ding Erniang greeted Mrs. Zhang, and went directly to her daughter-in-law's room.

"Fufu, be obedient, hurry up and eat, or your mother will leave soon, and you will be hungry!" Zhang Mu was coaxing Fufu, but Xiao Fufu only grinned, and his eyes were almost sunk in the little fat up!
"Amu, Fufu won't eat again?"

"Hey, mother, you're back! Isn't that right? Every time she feeds her, she won't eat, and she will cry from hunger after a while!" Zhang Mu looked at his daughter who seemed to be laughing more happily after hearing this, and intuitively Her hands were itchy, and she couldn't help pinching the little flesh on her cheek that was about to protrude.

Seeing that her mother-in-law didn't answer for a long time, she couldn't help but look carefully, only to find that her mother-in-law's face was in a daze.

"Mother, what's the matter? Why do I think you're a little dazed?"

"Hey, Amu, the shopkeeper of Wangxiang Tower confiscated my money, saying that he was filial to Azhu! You said that the county magistrate first sent 1000 taels of silver over, and now the shopkeeper of the restaurant doesn't want money, Amu, you say After this, after a long time, will Azhu's reputation be damaged?" Ding Erniang frowned, deeply worried about her son.

"Haha, mother, you are not afraid that Ah Zhu will run rampant in the village in the future, right?"

"Oh, I passed the exam, why are there so many things!" Ding Erniang stretched out her hand to take the little granddaughter from her daughter-in-law. Niang put the Fufu in her hand and directly gave up this idea, she knew that was not the way Azhu should go.

"Mother, you don't have to think too much, Azhu's reputation must not be stained in the slightest. I will let my father take the money from Wangxianglou tomorrow. After dinner, I will just give it to the shopkeeper, and he will be generous once. , Let our family accept his personal favor, and if we really see the money, can we not accept it?"

Zhang Mu straightened his clothes to see if there were any milk stains that Fufu secretly got on his body, and then said to Erniang Ding: "Mother, I will ask you to take care of Fufu first, I will go to the women's school to see Look!"

"Okay, you go, there is Grandma Fufu at home!"

Fufu tilted his head and watched his mother go out, and hurriedly stretched out his little hand to transfer, and Ding Erniang hugged Fufu and sent his daughter-in-law to the door.Seeing Fufu coming out, the beauty in the front yard ignored Xiao Shui, and begged the little master for his attention with a "meow, meow".

"When Xiao Fufu grows up a bit, the beauty will be able to play with her!" Mrs. Zhang tied the gate of the courtyard, and when she turned her head, she saw the beauty lying on Ding Erniang's lap with her front paws up, and she kept leaning on the little girl. Head, said with a smile.

"Isn't it! When little Fufu was born, the beauty lay beside the bed and never left, but she stayed there for several days! It can be seen that Fufu is rare!"

Ding Erniang remembered that in the first few days when her daughter-in-law was born, the beauty was nestled on the side of the pedal, and she didn't come out to eat, so she had to take her small bowl in to feed her.

When Zhang Mu arrived at the women's school, the girls in Class A were taking Li Niangzi's literacy class, and the little girls in Class B were learning etiquette classes from Madam Wang. Zhang Mu stood outside the door, nodding slightly with the female masters. , did not go in.

In the early days, he wanted to teach these little girls some skills to make a living. Literacy is a must, embroidery is also a must-learn job for girls in this era, and housekeepers manage money. Zhang Mu decided to use his own bamboo strips to shop. Practice for the little girls!
"Okay, Amu, this bamboo strip shop doesn't make much money, so let's make trouble for the little ones! Maybe you can make some tricks!"

Ding Erye listened to his wife's suggestion, and said with a cheerful smile, his daughter-in-law has so many ideas.

"Father agrees, and I have no objection either. It's just that Amu, the business of this bamboo strip shop also needs to be publicized. You'd better discuss it with their parents first, otherwise someone will definitely come to make trouble!"

Wu Ling still remembers what happened last time!

Zhang Mu saw the smoldering look in Xianggong's eyes, so he quickly comforted him: "Sanggong, I understand, don't worry! I will let them go back and talk to their parents today! Besides, you and dad have been here all the time. , I'm not worried!"

During the lunch break, Zhang Mu discussed with several female wives, and Mrs. Li’s eyes lit up. This is completely training this group of girls according to the model of everyone’s young lady. Said: "I also have two shops in my hand, one Zhuangzi, but it's a bit far away, at the foot of Huishan Academy, it's useful, Amu, just use it!"

Lady Li followed her elder brother to read and write, and also learned piano, chess and painting, but because her mother died young, no one taught her to manage money. It has long been left behind, probably because the benefits are very small, and there is no sense of existence at all.

Sitting by the side, Huashi also had a smile in her beautiful eyes. From this look, this women's school has to cultivate the first batch of female students who can apply what they have learned in Wuchao!

Putting down the teacup, Yingying said with a smile: "Amu, I still have a restaurant in my hand, and the business has always been very good. When the girls practice their skills, I can also use my restaurant as envoys to them!"

Hua Yi, who was waiting on the side, was already numb by the stimulation of the master's abnormal behavior again and again. At this time, when he heard that the master was going to give the Wangxiang Tower to the female students to practice, there was no surprise on his face!
Zhang Mu and the rest of the ladies were a little surprised. Although there are many small restaurants, there are only four or five restaurants in the county, three on East Street and two on West Street, and the business of the other four restaurants is not as good as that of Wangxiang Tower. , but the business is also quite impressive!
This Huashi?
"Hey, sister of the Hua family, I'm just curious. Where did your family get so much money to spend for a little woman?" Aunt Liu couldn't help but asked out of curiosity.

Not to mention the 500 taels that were used to add food to the little girls, but the courtyard where Hua lived, the restaurant she was talking about, couldn't support it without tens of thousands of taels.

"Old sister, what do you guess?" Hua blinked and smiled without saying a word.

"Hey, I guess? I guess you are a fairy that fell from the sky!" Not to mention that you are beautiful, you also have a lot of money, and you live alone in such a big courtyard, you didn't fall from the sky!

"Aunt Liu, you really guessed it right, my wife is a fairy girl who fell from the sky!" Hua Yi was amused by Aunt Liu's words, but then she thought, maybe her wife just fell from the sky and is taking a break here What a day!
"Don't listen to this girl's nonsense, my life is suffering, this is the family property left by my ancestors!" Shi Hua gave the maid a false look, and took Aunt Liu's hand to explain.

Beside her, Wang Momo looked at the bright red bracelet dangling on the part of Hua's bright wrist that was revealed when she stretched out her hand, her eyes flickered slightly.

What Zhang Mu didn't expect was that on the second day and the third day after the female students brought the message back, parents came to the door one after another!
