I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 417 Xia Ying's Little Book
Xia Ying was also speechless: "I always knew Brother Long that you are good at reading, but I didn't know you were so good! My brother Long is really good! Tonight, mother will cook you a dish of seasonal vegetables in chicken sauce as a reward!"

Just now, when Mr. Wu was testing the other three children in the school, she also heard the test questions clearly.When the children were answering, she also answered quietly in her heart, and then she found out in despair... She couldn't know many things either!
The cold sweat she shed secretly drenched her clothes!
So now knowing that Gu Yuanlong performed so well in the academy, she is deeply proud of having such a powerful child in her family!
"Thank you, mother." Gu Yuanlong nodded happily.

"However, the other three young masters and young ladies in your house are not bad." Mr. Wu said with a smile, "This young master doesn't seem to be keen on studying, but his knowledge is very solid. Presumably he spent a lot of money on his studies. Thoughtful."

"The two ladies are also articulate, smooth in thinking, and able to speak well, which is already outstanding among girls of the same age! Mrs. Gu really took the trouble to teach the children!"

Only then did the children breathe a sigh of relief.

Mr. Wu still looked at Xia Ying: "Actually, I can understand that the young master has such a solid foundation. But the two ladies are still so young, and they can already tell a lot of allusions, which still surprises the old man. Dare I Ask Mrs. Gu, did you hire a husband to teach them at home?"

"That's what I planned. It's just that we've only moved here for less than half a month, and things at home haven't been sorted out yet, so how can we find the time to ask for a husband? Now there's only one who teaches them arithmetic." Xia Ying sighed road.

"I originally planned to go back and ask my little brother to help me find a good female teacher to come back and teach the children. But I haven't had time to speak yet."

"The knowledge of these two ladies..."

"It's all taught by my mother!" Gu Yuanhao hurriedly shouted.

Mr. Wu was surprised. "really?"

He looked at Xia Ying, and finally at Gu Yuanlong.

Gu Yuanlong nodded. "It's true. Sir, do you still remember the comic book that was circulated in the academy recently?"

"Of course the old man remembers! The story in the comic book is very interesting, and the pictures are very vivid! No wonder the students have fallen in love with it recently. After reading a book, the old man also finds it quite interesting. No wonder everyone I like to watch."

"Those comic books were released from the hands of the students." Gu Yuanlong said.

Mr. Wu narrowed his eyes, and his gaze shifted to Xia Ying again.

Xia Ying nodded with a smile: "That's right, I drew those comic books for Brother Long. It was originally intended for him to pass the time on the way back and forth to the academy. But I didn't expect that he would actually take out the things Have you shared it with your classmates? You are not bad!"

"But, I remember those students said that they rented the comic book!" Mr. Wu said.

Uh……

Xia Ying's head was full of black lines.

"Brother Long..." she whispered feebly.

Gu Yuanlong, however, smiled all over his face, with a generous appearance: "That's right, the students rent it to them. A book costs five cents, and it must be returned within three days. Once someone delays, they will not be rented to him in the future! That's all. In half a year, the students have earned a full three taels of silver!"

As he spoke, he took out a bag of broken silver: "Mother, this is your hard work! If there is more, I will hand it over to you when I have saved enough money."

Xia Ying's mouth twitched.

The corners of Mr. Wu's eyes were also twitching.

"Gu Yuanlong, do you still remember the rules of the academy?"

"Students know that college students are prohibited from engaging in business. Once discovered, they will be expelled from the mountain gate immediately!"

"Then you still..."

"So now that the student has confessed honestly, he intends to take the credit for the crime." Gu Yuanlong said with a smile.

Mr. Wu gritted his teeth. "This matter, how do you plan to make meritorious deeds?"

Gu Yuanlong did not answer this question directly, but said slowly: "Sir, you just said that those villain books are well drawn, and they have excellent meanings. It is very good for the students of the academy to have fun in their free time. But if these comic books are used to enlighten young children, the effect will definitely be better, don’t you think?”

Mr. Wu squinted his eyes: "You little guy has a quick brain!"

"Actually, it's not that the student's brain is spinning fast, but that the mother has already been doing this! The reason why the student's sister and aunt have accumulated so many things in such a small stomach is also the relationship between the mother's careful teaching. .Since there are precedents for the two of them to succeed, students will feel that this method can be vigorously promoted."

Gu Yuanlong said neither humble nor overbearing: "It just so happens that there is a printing shop under my mother's name. She draws these villain books by herself and finds someone to print them. After they are bound into books, they can be sold at a much cheaper price than in bookstores. So the students thought , it is better to use this method to benefit the children who want to be enlightened in the world, sir, what do you think of the students' thinking?"

Mr. Wu responded with a sneer.

"The old man understands now! The reason why you are so kind to invite the old man to your house is because you intend to use the old man thoroughly! Not only did you ask the old man to help you suppress the Ye family yesterday, you also plan to continue Squeeze the old man, let the old man be used by you!"

"Mr. is very right." Gu Yuanlong nodded in agreement.

"Then do you think the old man will agree?" Mr. Wu asked coldly.

"You will." Gu Yuanlong nodded firmly.

"Oh? The old man will tell you now——no!"

"However, after my mother borrowed your hand to sell these picture albums, the money in exchange is intended to support those poor country girls!"

Mr. Wu was stunned.

"What support what woman?"

Gu Yuanlong smiled slightly: "Sir, you clearly know that most of the people are poor. They themselves can't eat enough to eat all year round, and naturally they can't support many children. The males are okay. They can work in the fields when they grow up, and go out to work to earn money. Household. But girls? Weak and weak, they can only wait until they grow up and get married to receive a dowry, but generally they can’t receive much.”

"As a result, drowning girls is a common practice in the countryside. Students have seen too much of this in the village in the past few years. Sir, you are sympathetic to the suffering of the people and have written many articles criticizing this kind of behavior."

"Students also know that whenever you encounter such a thing, you will directly give three taels of silver to the baby girl's family as the baby girl's upbringing expenses. Therefore, many girls' lives have been saved!"

"However, your ability alone is still limited. After all, there are still more girls who have lost their breath forever before they even have time to open their eyes and see the world. My mother has always hated this kind of thing! She's been trying to figure out how to help these girls!"

Mr. Wu's heart moved when he heard this, and he immediately looked at Xia Ying.

"Madam Gu, is that really the case?"
