Traveling with warehouses: I raised a brood of little villains

Chapter 410 Hire Zhao Xuan to be his wife in the mansion

Lin Ruyi glanced at the letter paper beside him. There were characters written on it, the handwriting was neat, standard regular script, and the writing strength looked good.

"How much is it for you to write a letter?" Lin Ruyi asked aloud.

Zhao Xuan got up quickly, watched Lin Ruyi introduce him.

"It depends on how long Madam writes. Generally, a piece of letter paper costs five cents, two pieces of letter paper eight cents, and three letters cost eleven cents." Zhao Xuan briefly introduced it to her.

This fee is not expensive in the capital city, after all, pens, ink and paper are not cheap, and the prices in the capital city are also expensive.

"Ma'am, do you need to write it? If you write it now, I can give you a discount. And I can write it for you now, and you can send it out when you finish it." Zhao Xuan saw that Lin Ruyi seemed to be thinking about it. Immediately throw out favorable conditions, probably because she wants her to give money now.

Lin Ruyi looked at Zhao Xuan, the clothes on his body were washed white, and his hair was only tied with a piece of cloth. He must be really short of money.

Zhao Xuan looked at Lin Ruyi and felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw her.

He didn't dare to say too much, for he was afraid that he would recognize the wrong person, and people would think that he deliberately wanted to climb high, so he didn't ask.

Lin Ruyi looked at Zhao Xuan, and learned from other people that he was very good at reading, and he should also teach children.

Chu Zixuan and Chu Zijun are men, so they can go to the academy, but Chu Anan is a woman, so they can't go to the academy. Although she occasionally teaches her how to read and write, it is not as good as others.

And she went to the academy to make a fuss, fearing that the master of the academy would wear small shoes for the two children in the future.

She thinks that Zhao Xuan must also be in urgent need of money, so why not hire him to be a wife at home and teach the three children.

In this way, Chu An'an can also study with them, so that he won't be illiterate in the future.

"Can you teach people how to read and write?" Lin Ruyi asked.

Zhao Xuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and said modestly: "Although Xiaosheng is not talented, he is also a scholar. In a few months, he will participate in Qiuwei. Although he is not [-]% sure, he is also [-]% sure. Teacher People can read and write.”

Lin Ruyi naturally believed it, she nodded, and then said: "I have three children in my family, and I am looking for a private school teacher. If you want, you can try it. If you can, I will give you ten taels a month Silver, food and housing, you teach them how to read and write."

Zhao Xuan's eyes lit up, ten taels of silver a month, which is quite a lot. He used to help people copy books and write letters for others, earning at most one tael a month.

It teaches people how to read, takes care of food and lodging, and earns ten taels of silver a month. This is a great thing.

But he just came to the capital not long ago and didn't know anyone. Although he looked familiar to Lin Ruyi, he didn't dare to agree easily.

The person in front of him didn't look like an ordinary family, and he could send the child to the academy to find a better teacher.

"Ma'am, why are you looking for me? Do you know me?" Zhao Xuan still asked the doubts in his heart.

Lin Ruyi smiled, then nodded.

"Is your surname Zhao? From Fuyang County?" Lin Ruyi asked.

Zhao Xuan nodded quickly, but he still didn't remember who Lin Ruyi was, he only felt familiar.

"That is, on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, we were drinking tea in a teahouse. The people inside were talking about guessing lantern riddles with high bonuses outside of Mr. Chen, as if they wanted to find a good husband for his daughter. How many people were talking about the Miss Chen family, how many people did you stand up to criticize, do you remember?" Lin Ruyi asked.

Zhao Xuan was startled suddenly, and then looked at Lin Ruyi in surprise.

"It's true. Could it be that Madam was in the teahouse at that time?" Zhao Xuan asked curiously.

"Well, yes. Do you still remember that Xiao Er gave you two plates of pastries? I asked him to deliver them." Lin Ruyi was also quite surprised to see Zhao Xuan here, so she didn't hide any more, and directly confessed everything.

Zhao Xuan froze on the spot, and after a few seconds, he spoke excitedly, "Xiaosheng thanked Madam, Madam is a bodhisattva."

Lin Ruyi waved her hand and said: "Since we met again, I also know your character, you can consider whether you would like to go to my house to be the enlightenment teacher of the children. If you want, you can go with us in a while, if you want to consider Two days is fine, then I will come here to find you again."

As soon as Lin Ruyi finished speaking, Zhao Xuan quickly said: "Yes, I am willing. It is my good fortune that Madam thinks highly of me. Since I am destined to be with Madam, I don't need ten taels of silver for a month. You can just give me five taels."

Zhao Xuan is not the kind of person who is insatiable, he just needs to save some money enough to participate in Qiu Wei.

Lin Ruyi didn't expect that there would be people willing to lower their wages. Sure enough, scholars are noble.

"Zhao Xiucai is being modest. Since we are all acquaintances, I shouldn't cheat you. If you want, come back with us in a while. Where is your luggage? Do you need to go get it first?" Lin Ruyi said politely.

Zhao Xuan shook his head in embarrassment, and said in an unnatural tone: "No, that's all my luggage, there's no need to pick it up."

Lin Ruyi looked at Zhao Xuan's little table where there was a bag, and the bag was not too big, so he probably had nothing.

"Okay, then let's take a break in the teahouse first, and you can go in and have a meeting. We will go back after my children finish shopping." Lin Ruyi nodded.

Zhao Xuan shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Madam, go, I'll just wait for you at the door, and pack up things by the way."

Lin Ruyi didn't say anything, just nodded and walked in with Chunlu.

Lin Ruyi sat in the teahouse for half an hour, ate some melons and fruits, drank tea for a while, and the three children came.

Holding their newly bought rare gadgets in their hands, they happily shared them with her.

After the three children had rested, Lin Ruyi asked Chunlu to pay the bill, then got up and left the teahouse.

Zhao Xuan had packed up outside, and the small table was gone. It must have been moved away, so he carried his own baggage.

The servant drove the carriage over, and the children got into the carriage first. When Lin Ruyi got into the carriage, she thought that even Zhao Xuan, a man, could not ride in the carriage with her.

"Zhao Xiucai, we have to go back, there is no room for the carriage..."

"It's okay, I can walk, I can walk very fast, and I can keep up with the carriage." Zhao Xuan said immediately.

Lin Ruyi nodded, then got into the carriage, and specifically ordered the young man to drive slowly so that Zhao Xuan could follow.

Zhao Xuan did follow the carriage all the way and did not lose track of him.

Fortunately, the General's Mansion is not too far away, and we soon arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion.

With Chunlu's support, Lin Ruyi got out of the carriage and saw Zhao Xuan was sweating profusely, presumably because of the heat from walking all the way.

"Zhao Xiucai, please come in." Lin Ruyi made an inviting gesture.

Zhao Xuan guessed Lin Ruyi's identity on the way here, she must be either rich or noble, but she didn't expect to be the wife of the General's Mansion, so why would she be in Fuyang County on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, so she doesn't have to spend the Lantern Festival with her husband at home?
