Heir and wife

Chapter 157

After being taught for two years without being blind, older children have to undertake labor, or go outside to plow the fields to pick mulberries, or weave cloth and iron, and the Salesian Bureau provides part of the supplies.Moreover, the children brought up in this way are generally industrious and kind-hearted, and they will not be displaced when they leave here.

As soon as he entered the main room, there were rows of wooden tables and stools. After passing through, there was a curtain beside Mr. Xuetang's desk. He opened it and saw the little girl sitting by the window as expected.

Holding an account book in her hand, her eyes were a little red.Hearing his footsteps, he hurriedly turned his face away, pretending to flick his bangs with his hands, but in fact his fingertips have been stroking the corners of his eyes.After a long silence, she closed the account book and turned to him with a smile:

"Why did you come here? It's hard to come here once. Uncle Yuan Ke doesn't spend more time with them?"

Uncle Yuan Ke's address made Zhou Yuanke's body stiff. Then he looked at the little girl sitting at the bottom. She was a few years younger than him, and her stature was smaller than the average Jinling girl. , bringing out a few hints of agility.Standing with him, if you say you are uncle and nephew... it seems to be reasonable.

Thinking of this, a numbness rose from the soles of his feet amid embarrassment.This novel experience made him excited and memorable.

"The sugar is all over, who else will play with me, an old man."

"Old man?" Luo Weitong turned her head and saw that his handsome face was wrinkled on purpose, his brows were really forced into a few wrinkles, and the deliberately ugly posture made her feel better: "Don't say it, you are really an old man."

Hearing her voice was much more relaxed, Zhou Yuanke also relaxed secretly. As he was getting closer, he happened to see the cover of the account book, but he couldn't hide his surprise: "Uncle Jiu actually showed you this account book."

"Uncle Nine?" Luo Weitong picked up the account book, wondering what to call him.

"That's right, he is the ninth eldest child in his family, and he calls himself that when he goes out. After a long time, not many people know his real name."

He took over the account book while explaining to him, and after reading two pages, he understood: "Master Hongzhen..."

Luo Weitong was a little annoyed and even a little guilty when he mentioned this point: "The master seals some peach blossoms and stuffs them into jars every spring. I didn't expect it to be for this. Why didn't he tell me?"

It turned out that she was angry about this, and Zhou Yuanke explained while flipping through the account book: "The master is a real eminent monk who has achieved the Tao, and the good deeds he has done are not limited to this. I won't tell you, if I want to..."

After a pause, he decided to tell the truth: "I think I want to have more fun."

After speaking, he nodded solemnly. Although he hadn't met Master Hongzhen a few times, he had heard his master arrange this person a lot since he was a child.According to the master, any eminent monk who has achieved the Tao is clearly an old urchin.

And it is undeniable that when the little girl is so angry that her cheeks puff up and her eyes are staring at people, the person being stared at can feel a sense of vitality and excitement.Presumably Master Hongzhen knew this better, so he deliberately didn't say anything, and became a money-grubbing old monk who teased his young disciples.

"I knew it."

Holding the account book, Luo Weitong said bitterly, those emotions just disappeared.Looking up and seeing the smile on Yuan Ke's face, I felt even more embarrassed.

What kind of eminent monk is an old urchin in front of her anyway.Recalling Master Jiu's words just now, the old monk saw that she was about to reach Jiji's age, and wanted to entrust her with the Salesian Bureau.

The Salesian Bureau was run by Empress Gao after she lost the crown prince, and all expenses were paid by the treasury.Daqi has changed three emperors so far, but no matter how difficult the current situation is, he has never reduced the cost of the Salesian Bureau.This is naturally the reason why the dignitaries and nobles in Jinling City are vying to express their kindness.

If she takes over and reveals a little rumor, even if Luo Weirong opens eight more mouths, it will not be able to discredit her in the slightest.Moreover, she only knew about the disease brought out in the womb. Even though her family members and Zhou Yuanke comforted her and knew that she could do many other things in the future, there were so many things to do in the world, she was still confused for a while.

Now the old monk has an account book, but she has found her way.Just now, when Caima stopped at the door of the Salesian Bureau, the childish smiling faces that ran out to meet her made her feel that the matter was well managed.

It was because of these considerations that she felt quite ashamed when she thought of her usual past of chasing the old monk all over the mountains for a piece of peach blossom cake.But now hearing what Yuan Ke said, she just felt that she really thought too much just now.

All the respect that should be given to eminent monks and masters and apprentices, all go to hell.The old monk was obviously lazy, knowing that she couldn't keep accounts, if he took over this time, he might be laughed at by her if he miscalculated in the future.

"Old monk... No, master must want to see me laugh."

Zhou Yuanke was astonished, could it be that Master Hongzhen was really that cynical.Regardless of what his master said, anyway, that person enjoys teasing others, so it is only natural to discredit Master Hongzhen.But the little girl is his direct disciple, so why would she say the same words.

Could it be...a bold idea came to mind: "Jiaojiao, does Master like to grab people's hair?"

"Of course!" Luo Weitong also realized something, and said tentatively: "He still likes to grab snacks from me."

Zhou Yuanke nodded, this is not his master.

"Take pleasure in bullying apprentices."

Nodding, he looked at the little girl pitifully: "But no one is allowed to bully her."

"Yes, even if you give benefits, it will make people dumbfounded."
