Chapter 1895 Sent to Study
Chu Daya was eventually sent to Wang Xu's house by Jia Zhengjin to study with other children of the same age.
After she was washed and combed, her dirty look disappeared. She changed into clothes that Niu Shun couldn't wear when he was a child, and she looked much better.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jia Zhengjin asked her not to tell others that she was a girl. After all, rural children have darker skin, not as obvious as the daughter of a rich family.
Wearing Niu Shun's old clothes and combing her hair in a boy's style, it was not easy for others to tell.
Moreover, it was the result of Jia Zhengjin's efforts to let her study with Wang Xu. He promised to give Wang Xu a bundle of firewood for free every day before the deal was made.
If Wang Xu knew that Chu Daya was a girl, he would stop teaching her and send her back. Wouldn't Jia Zhengjin be unable to rest assured about the gambling?
The world is big, and the gambling is the biggest now.
Anyway, he only cares about solving the problem at hand. As for what will happen to the real Niu Shun and Chu Daya after the gambling, it is not within his scope of consideration.
The name Chu Daya makes it easy for people to know that she is a girl.
So Jia Zhengjin let her call herself Chu Ya and successfully stayed in Wang Xu's house to study with other children in the village.
After returning, Niu Xi was already waiting at the door.
Seeing him coming, he hurried forward: "What's the matter? Can we continue to go up the mountain?"
He looked around, looking for Chu Daya's whereabouts, and he must be worried.
Jia Zhengjin saw his worry, so he said: "Don't worry! The child has been sent to Wang Xu's house to study. We can go up the mountain as usual. Just hide the treasures before taking her home."
Hearing this, Niu Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good! Really, such a person suddenly came, and I almost thought I couldn't hide it."
"I know it in my heart, it won't affect our plan."
"But..." Niu Xi hesitated, "Shunzi, if we get all the treasures, don't we have to try to make everyone accept the fact of prosperity? It's not necessary to take this child away. "You should leave the child here, right? He came to seek refuge with you."
"I've thought about it, there won't be any problem."
"What should we do?"
"Think about it! It's just that the villagers can't know about it for the time being.
When we successfully transport all the treasures out, and then secretly transport them to the county or other places, this matter will be over." Jia Zhengjin explained, "This child must be taken away as well, and then we will slowly explain it to him. We have plenty of time to teach her how to speak without revealing the truth. She came to seek refuge with me, so of course she will stand on my side, right?"
"That's right..." Niu Xi Nodding, "But are you sure this child won't affect our plan? If the villagers know the truth in advance, I'm afraid the maze will be in chaos."
"I know that greed is very troublesome. So before the treasure is transferred and we leave the village, this matter must be kept secret from her. After we get out, we will slowly teach her."
"So you arranged for the child to study with Wang Xu? Do you want this child to take the imperial examination?"
"That's okay, right?" Jia Zhengjin didn't tell Niu Xi that Chu Daya was a girl. "After all, she was entrusted to my father by Uncle Chu. My father Since it's gone, this responsibility falls on my shoulders. We will be rich soon, and it won't be difficult to support her education. "
"Your father is good friends with the child's father. It has nothing to do with you, right? You are too kind, and you are going to support him to study and take the imperial examination... Forget it! Anyway, after getting the treasure, we will all be rich. If you like to do this, then let it be! Maybe that kid can really read a trick, and when he becomes the top scholar, he will definitely remember your kindness and repay you. "
It's impossible to be the top scholar. After all, Chu Daya is a girl and has no chance in this world.
Jia Zhengjin didn't say it clearly, but patted Niu Xi's shoulder: "Don't worry about it, let's go up the mountain!"
"It's ready!" Niu Xi nodded immediately, "We can set off at any time."
"Yeah! I guess someone will follow us secretly today, but it will be more hidden than yesterday." Jia Zhengjin turned his head and looked around, and soon found a few looming shadows hiding in the corner without making a sound.
"It's so annoying! Are we unlucky? These people are following us, and then that kid shows up again..."
"Think positively! We're being followed for two or three days. We're only chopping wood today, so we have plenty of time. Don't worry."
"Okay, I understand this." Niu Xi turned around, "Let's go!"
The two set off immediately, taking the donkey and donkey cart, and returned to the area where they usually chop wood.
There is no doubt that even if they hide, the villagers who follow behind and observe secretly will still be discovered, which means Jia Zhengjin doesn't take it seriously and ignores their existence.
It's still boring and tiring work all day.
Chopping wood, chopping wood, chopping wood...
The villagers who secretly followed and observed did not find anything unusual for two consecutive days. They began to think that the immortal Niu Xi met might have left?
From the analysis of Niu Xi and Jia Zhengjin's actions, it seems that there is no trace of the monk.
The villagers can't put down their farm work every day to follow. After two consecutive days without any gains, many people will not follow again.
Next, as long as we get rid of the last few people, we can continue to the maze.
After a busy day, I returned to the village, delivered firewood, and finally went to Wang Xu's house.
Chu Daya was very obedient. As expected, she stayed in the yard, squatting seriously, writing the words she learned today on the sand with a branch.
Although the handwriting was ugly, at least it could be recognized at a glance.
Wang Xu stood behind her with a very satisfied expression. It was obvious that Chu Daya was talented in reading.
"Brother Shunzi!" When he looked up, he saw Jia Zhengjin coming in. Chu Daya stood up excitedly and ran over excitedly, "Are you back?"
"Yes!" Jia Zhengjin nodded to her, then carried firewood into the yard, looked at Wang Xu and said, "Sir, today's firewood has been delivered!"
"Put it in the kitchen! My wife is over there." Scholars believe that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, so naturally Wang Xu would not care about these things.
"Okay!" Jia Zhengjin carried the firewood to the kitchen and piled it to the edge under the guidance of Wang Xu's wife.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
"It's not hard work!" Seeing Wang Xu's wife handing him a bowl of water, Jia Zhengjin hurriedly took it and thanked him, then raised his head and drank it.
"I never thought that you would exchange firewood for Shu Xiu and let the child who just came here to learn calligraphy." Wang Xu's wife said with emotion, "You are such a kind-hearted child! Everyone still thinks that you will let that child come with you." Cutting wood!"
"She is so young, where can she chop firewood? She wouldn't worry if she was left alone at home. She might as well study with Mr. Wang and learn calligraphy. Maybe she can be successful in the future." Jia Zhengjin said with a smile.
"That's true. The child is very well-behaved and seems to have a conscience. But are you okay? It was hard enough to be alone, but now you have one more person to take care of, and you also have to study..."
"It's okay! Isn't it just a matter of chopping a few more bundles of firewood? Just go out early and come back later."
"Really, how come a child as honest and kind-hearted as you can't meet an immortal? But that kid Niu Xi has that kind of adventure! By the way, haven't you met that immortal again when you went up the mountain in the past two days?"
"No! Sister-in-law, let's go back first?"
"Oh, alright......"
