New widow

"He didn't make any mistakes, but I need his help with something." Zhang Qing said lightly, and the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "He can help you, this is his blessing."

"This is five coins. In the past few days, he has been going to my yamen. When the matter is over, he will come back naturally." Zhang Qing took out a piece of silver and threw it on the table. The shopkeeper hurriedly picked up the silver and said, "Sir, you That's very polite. If you want him to come over and help, just ask him. There is no need for such a lot of money."

As the shopkeeper said, the money had already been put into his purse. Zhang Qing stood up and said to the waiter: "Come with me."

"Sir, I..." The waiter was not willing to follow Zhang Qing. Zhang Qing looked at the waiter and suddenly smiled: "If you don't come with me, I'm afraid of your life." Zhang Qing did not finish his sentence. , the waiter was already startled and looked at Zhang Qing: "Yes, I will follow you now."

Since that person could send the gangster to Prince Wang, he could also kill the waiter. After all, the waiter was just a waiter in the restaurant now and no longer a member of the Shangshu Mansion. Of course, that person will not be as aggressive as before.

Zhang Qing took the waiter directly to the Tongpan Yamen. Su Du saw Zhang Qing bringing someone back and looked at him in surprise: "Which song are you singing?"

"This is Wang Gongzi's former boy, who is now working as a waiter in a restaurant." Zhang Qing's words made Su Du look at the waiter. The waiter felt that he was being looked at and hurriedly knelt down to Su Du: "Sir , I didn’t do anything harmful to the world.”

"You are just a young boy, even if you want to do something that is harmful to the world, it is not your turn." Su Du's words reassured the waiter: "Yes, yes, even a young boy does not dare to do anything that is harmful to the world. "

"Where did those gangsters come from? And Mr. Wang is such a fool. How could he have such a sophisticated plan?" Zhang Qing asked unexpectedly. The waiter originally wanted to stand up, but after hearing this, he knelt down again. : "Stop asking. If you ask again, it will cost my life."

"You don't want to shed tears until you see the coffin." Su Du's words made the waiter almost cry: "Sir, I just serve people honestly. Who would have thought that such and such things would happen."

"Tell me, if you don't tell me, if you enter here today, someone will naturally spread the news to that person." Zhang Qing looked at the waiter, and his tone became different from before: "For example, Lord Magistrate. "

Zhang Qing just said this casually, but who knew that the waiter would be so frightened that he fell to the ground? Zhang Qing and Su Du looked at the waiter like this, and both of them looked very surprised. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground. Come on, this matter is most likely related to the prefect.

When Suqiao returned to Zhuangzi, Aunt Wan received Suqiao and looked at Suqiao up and down. Suqiao couldn't help but smile: "What are you looking at me for?"

"Let me see if anything happens to you." Aunt Wan's words made Suqiao helpless: "What can happen to me? There are so many people following me."

"Those rumors outside, you went to see Su Tongpan again, I don't know if anyone will make a fuss about it." Suqiao couldn't help but smile when she heard Aunt Wan's words: "You have learned so much from me. God, I also learned to be literary."

"My aunt likes to speak literate words." Xia Yun had already come out of the main room and said with a smile to Su Qiao. Su Qiao clapped her hands: "Okay, from now on, everyone must learn to read."

"If everyone has to study, wouldn't everyone be able to become a scholar? Then wouldn't a scholar be worthless?" Song Zhen's words made Suqiao smile: "If you can only read, it is naturally worthless, but reading Literacy is not to bully others, but to gain understanding."

Reading to understand the truth has always been Su Qiao's thought. As expected, Song Zhen nodded: "No wonder I often hear people say that this book has been read into the dog's belly. It turns out that they read and don't understand the truth."

"But I've also heard that those who have learned arts and martial arts can be sold to the emperor's family." Xia Yun frowned and said, and Song Zhen tilted her head: "That means you only know about glory and wealth, but don't know the original purpose of studying."

We only know about glory and wealth. After all, there is a golden house in the book, and there is beauty in the book. When we only know about glory and wealth, the original intention of reading will completely disappear. Su Qiao smiled faintly and said no more.

But if everyone could remember the original intention of reading, then many things would not happen. This is the case with everything in the world.

Su Du and Zhang Qing came to Suqiao at noon the next day. At that time, the children had just been picked up by their mother. Su Du and Zhang Qing watched from a distance as the children followed their mother, chattering there. As he said, he learned something again today.

Su Du couldn't help but said to Zhang Qing with emotion: "Ms. Kuang, you are such a strange person."

"Yes, not only do you understand what you want, but you can also help others. This small school doesn't charge any money, and there are only a few children. But these children will be different from other children in the future." The world's requirements for women are similar. A husband teaches his children, and a husband must have read books. If you have not read a book, how can you teach your husband and children? Among the big families in the capital, not only do they have family studies, but they also invite female teachers to teach the women in the family. Learn to read and write, lest you get married and be unable to teach your children in the future.

"Ms. Kuang is really different from others." Su Du's words made Zhang Qing look at him. Manager Wu had already stepped forward: "Why are you two adults here?"

"We have something to do with Mrs. Kuang." Zhang Qing was the first to speak. Manager Wu was not surprised and said to the two of them, "In that case, please go inside."

The courtyard was still the same as before, always full of laughter and joy. Such a small courtyard made Su Du linger. It was much more comfortable than the luxurious and stacked mansion of his own home.

"Su Tongpan, Zhang Sifu." Su Qiao was already waiting in the main room. The tea was still the same as before. Su Du picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then said to Su Qiao: "Yesterday we found a young man. , this boy said that the steward in the prefect’s Yamen told Mr. Wang about this matter."

The steward of the prefecture would naturally be able to see the prince, and of course the prince would listen to what he said. Suqiao couldn't help but smile: "That's true."

"If you go directly to arrest the housekeeper, you will cover up the person behind it." Su Du said frankly, and Su Qiao nodded: "Then you come to me because you want to send this boy to me."

"Ms. Kuang is really smart." Su Du first patted Su Qiao on the butt, and then continued: "This will naturally lead to the people behind."

If the servant is placed in the Tongpan Yamen, the magistrate will naturally be unable to do anything about it, but if he is sent to Su Qiao's side, the magistrate will have something to do, and he can even get rid of Su Qiao as well.
