Chapter 51 Mr. Chen
Yuxi and Hao Dazhuang talked about making cotton-padded clothes and trousers for their children: "I've been busy these days, and I forgot to tell you something. I've sent someone to buy cotton in Xinping City, and in two days it will be I can come back. You go back and register the height of these children, and then hire some people who can make cotton clothes and trousers, and start work as soon as the cotton arrives. No need to freeze."
After hearing this, Hao Dazhuang was surprised. However, he was also a little worried, and said: "Madam, the cost is too high." Up to now, it has already cost more than two hundred taels of silver, and it will cost even more to make cotton clothes and trousers.
Yuxi smiled, and said: "You don't have to worry about it, I can still get the money for making cotton clothes and trousers." In this school, Yuxi did not take public accounts, and used all of them from her own private house.
Hao Dazhuang immediately said, "I'll invite someone when I get back."
Yuxi nodded her head and said: "It's cold now, put two more pots of charcoal fire in the house. But you must pay attention to safety, the doors and windows cannot be closed too tightly, and there must be a gap. In addition, you must pay attention to the physical condition of these children If someone is infected with the cold, you must wait until the illness recovers before going to school, otherwise, it is easy to infect other children.” Food and medicine do not cost much, but if everyone is sick, the medical expenses will be expensive.
After hearing this, Hao Dazhuang shook his head and said: "Don't worry, ma'am, these children are in good health, and they spend half a day practicing martial arts every day, so they won't catch cold so easily." Hao Dazhuang felt that Yuxi was too worried. Where are these little bastards? It's so precious.
Yuxi frowned, but seeing Hao Dazhuang's indifferent face, she felt uncomfortable, but she didn't show it on her face: "You still have to pay attention." It seems that this school cannot be handed over to Hao Dazhuang. up. With such an attitude, how can one manage the school well!
When Hao Dazhuang left, Yuxi asked someone to give Hao Dazhuang a package, and said, "I prepared this for Mr. Chen, please help deliver it."
Hao Dazhuang hesitated, and said: "Although Mr. Chen lives a very poor life, he never accepts gifts from others."
Yu Xi smiled and said: "Send it over, he will accept it after reading the contents. But this matter, only Mr. Chen knows about it, don't tell other people." Scholars are very noble and will not accept it. Other people's charity, that is an insult to them. Therefore, Yuxi didn't give things carelessly.
Mr. Chen looked at Hao Dazhuang bringing a big package, and his expression was a little ugly: "Didn't I say it a long time ago, don't bring things over?"
Hao Dazhuang said with a smile: "I didn't prepare this package, it was prepared by my wife. My wife said that if you read the contents, you will accept it."
Mr. Chen was a little suspicious, but he opened the package anyway. There were some bacon and sausages in the package, as well as some dry goods such as red dates and shiitake mushrooms, and there was also a boxy box.
Hao Dazhuang took the box out of the package, yelled, and said, "It's quite heavy, I don't know what's in it?" After speaking, he opened it without asking Mr. Chen. It wasn't that Hao Dazhuang didn't understand, it was because he was worried that Mr. Chen wouldn't read anything, so he put the box back into the package and took him back.
Inside the box are a book, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and two taels of silver. In addition, there was a letter inside. After Hao Dazhuang took out the letter, he handed it to Mr.
After receiving the letter, Mr. Chen opened it and read it. After reading it, Mr. Chen fell into deep thought.
Hao Dazhuang didn't dare to say too much, so he stood in the room and waited. After a while, Hao Dazhuang saw that Mr. Chen was still silent, and said, "Sir, if it's all right, I'll go back."
Only then did Mr. Chen come to his senses, nodded and said, "Okay!" As for what was written in the letter, Mr. Chen didn't tell Hao Dazhuang a word.
After leaving the room, Hao Dazhuang said to himself: "I don't know what the madam wrote in the letter, so that the gentleman can accept it."
Mr. Chen's wife, Wan Shi, saw that her husband left Hao Dazhuang's things for an unprecedented time, and couldn't help asking: "Master Yun, what did Mrs. Yun write in the letter?" It was less than a year, and there was no child and a half at that time. At that time, the Wan family could completely reconcile, but she followed Mr. Chen to Yucheng. The two lived together for ten years, leaving a son and a daughter. Although the life in Yucheng was difficult and extremely poor, the Wan family never complained.
Mr. Chen said: "Mrs. Yun asked me to copy the books, and the things are the rewards."
Wan Shi was not an ignorant person, so he asked in disbelief after hearing this, "Is it just copying books? Did you not say anything else?"
Mr. Chen shook his head and said, "No. But if I guessed correctly, copying the book is only the first step. Mrs. Yun's real purpose is to let me work for Yunqing."
Wan's face changed instantly, and he said: "The head of the family, we have to return the things quickly." There are murderous threats around Yunqing, and she has not forgotten that the person who took refuge in Yunqing that day was assassinated to death in the end. If the husband took refuge in him, he might die at some point. She would rather have a poorer life than worry about it.
Yunqing wanted to recruit Mr. Chen before, but failed. It is one thing for Mr. Chen to have scruples in his heart, but it is also for Wan Shi to disagree.
Mr. Chen shook his head and said, "Mrs. Yun didn't say anything else, she just asked me to copy the books. Anyway, it's winter, and I don't have much to do. Copying books is paid, and it can also supplement the family. You don't have to work so hard." Mrs. Yun The reward given is enough for their family to have a good year.
After more than ten years of husband and wife, Wan Shi didn't understand her husband well. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "As the head of the family, I would rather suffer a bit, and I want the family to be safe."
Mr. Chen shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It's not a question of suffering or not. If no one protects you, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you and your children."
Wan Shi looked at Mr. Chen, but didn't understand what he meant.
Mr. Chen lowered his voice and said: "Our family's Yun'er is already nine years old, and she will be a big girl in a few years." Mr. Chen's daughter, Chen Yun, has inherited all the advantages of her parents. Although their family lives in poverty and their child is only nine years old, no one who has seen her praises her. Mr. Chen was a little worried before, but now he is even more displeased after hearing about Fourth Master Xu forcing a civilian girl to death. Peace of mind. The old couple are still civilians, and he is still wearing a crime. If someone hits his daughter's idea in the future, he won't be able to protect her at all.
Wan's complexion also changed, and it was also because her daughter was so good-looking that she didn't dare to let her go out, for fear that her daughter would be abducted and sold: "But it is also very dangerous if you rely on Yunqing. If you are the head of the family, you have a Three longs and two shorts, what do you ask our mother three to do?" At this point, Wan's tears came.
Mr. Chen shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this matter. Mrs. Yun didn't say that I would serve the general right now. Besides, whether Mrs. Yun likes me, is it still a matter of conclusion?"
Wan raised his head and asked, "What do you mean?"
Mr. Chen said: "Mrs. Yun is not a simple woman. If she thinks that I have real talents, she will definitely offer a bargaining chip that is enough to impress me and let me work for Yunqing." Only practical learning, will not be used.
Seeing the confusion on his wife's face, Mr. Chen said: "If you want me to work for Yunqing, the minimum requirement is to ensure our safety." Even if something happens to him, he must ensure that his wife and children live in peace. smooth.
Wan's understood this sentence: "Boss, do you want to join Yunqing?"
Mr. Chen nodded, and said: "It's different now, if I don't join Yunqing, I can't protect you and the child."
The Wan family was anxious, and said: "There are so many families in Yucheng, such as the Fu family, the Zhao family, and the Rong family. We can all rely on these families, not necessarily Yunqing." As for the largest Qin family in Yucheng, Wan Shi didn't say. Because she knew that her husband hated the Qin family.
Mr. Chen shook his head and said: "The Fu family can't be successful. General Zhao has a lot of staff around him, and I won't be able to get reused if I rely on them. But Yunqing is different. He has no staff around him. I will definitely be reused if I rely on him. More importantly Yes, Yunqing has a Mrs. Yun who can assist her. Yunqing is good at fighting, while her wife is good at strategy and has a long-term vision. The two complement each other and will definitely accomplish great things." Not to mention Mrs. Yun is a woman, It's just that ordinary men have never thought of starting a school, let alone actually running it. Although it is temporary now, he is sure that the so-called temporary is just a delay. Establishing a school can not only buy people's hearts and gain fame, but also recruit talents. Although these children are still young, when they grow up, these children will be Yunqing's loyal supporters. In the future, this will be a huge boost that cannot be ignored. It can be seen from this that Mrs. Yun has a very long-term vision, and only by following such a person can she have a future.
Wan's actually didn't understand these things very well, and she didn't intend to understand them in the past. She only hoped that the family would be safe and sound. But seeing her husband's radiant look, she couldn't bear to stop him any longer. It was the first time that she was so excited when she saw her husband from the Northwest: "Since this is the case, then you should behave well and let Mrs. Yun know that you have real talents." Her husband has talents, and she is reluctant to let her husband's talents be buried like this. Of course, I also have worries in my heart, worrying that the husband and wife will not be able to protect the child. It has to be said that Xu Siye's case had a great impact on both the husband and wife.
Mr. Chen looked at Wan Shi and said: "Okay." After finishing speaking, he said: "You don't have to worry, the general's mansion is heavily guarded, and I'll be fine if I really live in it." Moreover, if these people have the ability to rush to In the General's Mansion, the first person who wanted to kill him was definitely not his little aide, but Mrs. Yun. As for Mrs. Yun's safety, Mr. Chen didn't worry at all. He had heard from Hao Dazhuang that Mrs. Yun was surrounded by people with strong martial arts to protect her.
Seeing his wife nodding, Mr. Chen also breathed a sigh of relief. But now there is a problem, if you want to be valued by Mrs. Yun, you have to show your true talents, otherwise everything will be in vain.
