Dressing in another world to be a brother

Looking at it this way, there are eleven students, ranging from the son of Prince Ning to the children of Wupin Langzhong.

And none of the peasant children he was looking forward to was seen.

He was a little disappointed.

Moreover, because the students in the Mongolian Pavilion are completely different from what they imagined, the original idea of ​​letting Xu Wenshan become the chef of the canteen had to be shelved.

Simple is one thing, unpalatable is another.You can't let Prince Ning's son be Xu Wenshan's dish tester, right?

Ji Yuzhu thought about buying another cook.

But Jiang Weiyan wasn't there, so he didn't dare to buy someone at will and put it in the Mongolian Pavilion.

You know, not to mention other officials' children, just because the only son of King Ning is here, these safety issues are enough for him to worry about.

After thinking about it, he could only listen to You Yunle's words, and sent a letter to Cen Yi asking for help, and raised a little security issue.

Soon Cen Yi wrote back.

Along with the letter, there are a few body deeds and a few servants.

It was the cook's family sent over by Cen Yi.

In addition, he also replied to the security issue, only saying that it should be handed over to the county prince's mansion.

Ji Yuzhu heaved a sigh of relief.

It would be more worry-free if King Ning took over.

So in the following days, he concentrated on arranging the Mongolian Pavilion.

Discuss the dishes and the meal sharing system with the new cook Liu Dazhuang, and then assign a handyman to help him.

The beds in the dormitory are replaced with uniform cotton bedding.

On the blackboard at the back of the classroom, the Three Character Classic is neatly written with chalk.

On the wall next to the door, a square was framed with thin wooden strips, inside which were pasted a code of conduct specially written in large characters.

In the midst of being busy, time passed in a flash.

The scheduled opening time is coming soon.

Ji Yuzhu wrote the post and asked Zeng Fu to send it to each student's home one by one, reminding them not to forget to report on the first day of school.

Now, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

Before Ji Yuzhu could breathe a sigh of relief, the concierge over there passed a message, saying that someone wanted to send the baby to the museum.

It is true that Ji Yuzhu had greeted the concierge a long time ago, and all those who came to sign up for the study should send him a message.

It's just that after such a long time, no one came, so he gave up.

Just like my father said: Which ordinary people dare to come to an official's house to study at will?

Unexpectedly, I met today.

Ji Yuzhu was pleasantly surprised: "Please come in quickly."

The one who came in was a thin brother about sixteen or seventeen years old, fair but very thin.The eyes are big, a little cute, and there is a bit of uneasiness on his face.

He was leading a skinny little doll, who looked about three or four years old, but maybe he was too thin and small, but he was quite calm and well-educated, and he would not look left and right when entering the door.

The clothes on the two of them were patchy, but they looked clean and tidy.

As soon as he entered the door, Brother helped the little doll and knelt down together.

"See you sir!"

Ji Yuzhu hurriedly walked over to help the little baby up, and then let the brother stand up, and said softly, "I'm not an official, so you don't need to call me an adult, just call me Mr."

The skinny brother clenched the hem of his clothes nervously: "Mister, I, I," he took a deep breath and calmed down, "We are villagers in Niutou Village. Niu Lizheng said that Mr. is recruiting students here, I, I "He nudged the little baby and let him take two steps forward, "This is my younger brother, he is very good and sensible, can you accept me, sir?" He looked at Ji Yuzhu nervously and expectantly.

Ji Yuzhu smiled: "How old is the kid, you can't accept him if he's too young~" After all, this little doll looks too small.

My brother was a little anxious: "Sir, my younger brother is five years old, but he has grown thinner." After a pause, he added reluctantly, "He will be five years old in April."

Ji Yuzhu nodded: "That's no problem."

Brother was pleasantly surprised, hurriedly untied the basket on his back, and took out things one after another from inside.

"Sir, these are the green dates I picked on the mountain these days, they are all fresh and refreshing. These are the dried shiitake mushrooms, and these are the wild vegetables I picked in the morning." He put the things in front of him one by one, and then took them out of his chest. He took out a purse that had been washed until it turned white, and carefully poured out a dozen copper coins from it.

He clutched the copper coins tightly and dared not hand them over to Ji Yuzhu: "Sir, can I use these things as repairs?" Then he hurriedly added, "It's not enough, I will make up for it later. I, I'm going to work in the capital tomorrow. Yes, there are 300 articles a month!"

Ji Yuzhu hurriedly comforted him: "Enough is enough, I have been thinking about fruits and vegetables for the winter. Besides, I also like to eat shiitake mushrooms. Plus you gave me money back. This bunch of repairs is very good." He stretched out his head and put his hand under his fist. Seeing that he was still in a daze and didn't react, he joked, "But the thing is so good, why don't you give me more money?"

A big smile instantly appeared on my brother's face, and he carefully put the copper coin into Ji Yuzhu's hand, and was relieved when he saw that he took it away.

Ji Yuzhu put the copper coins on the table next to him, knelt down and touched the little doll's head, "What's the kid's name?"

The little baby looked up at his brother first, then turned back, and replied in a low voice but clearly: "My name is Niu Shu."

Brother hurriedly patted him lightly, and reminded him in a low voice, "Call me sir."

The little baby hurriedly said again: "Sir, my name is Niu Shu."

Ji Yuzhu nodded with a smile: "Little tree is so good." Turning to his brother, "What about you?"

"Me?" Brother licked his lips, "My name is Niu Liang."

When Niu Shu heard this, he imitated him and whispered: "Brother, you forgot to say sir."

Niu Liang was suddenly embarrassed.

Ji Yuzhu smiled: "It's okay, your brother called you sir."

Niu Shu blinked, and let out a half-understanding sound.

Ji Yuzhu called Xiao An in, helped him put away the things on the ground and carried them to the kitchen, and ordered him to wash a plate of green dates and send it to You Yunle. After thinking about it, he asked him to bring some snacks and soy milk.

Fang Xiaoan looked at the Niu Liang brothers with his things in his arms, nodded and went out.

Ji Yuzhu asked Niu Liang to sit down, then carried Niu Shu to the chair next to him, and then sat down next to Niu Shu himself.

"Niu Liang, how old are you this year?"

Niu Liang moved his legs awkwardly, and sat forward: "Sir, I'm eighteen."

Ji Yuzhu was surprised.

It doesn't look like it.

These two brothers are thinner than the other.

He thought for a while and asked hesitantly, "Does your family know that Niu Shu is coming to study?"

Niu Liang pursed his lips and lowered his eyes: "My father is gone, and my mother remarried three years ago. We still have uncles and aunts." Thinking of something, he hurriedly explained, "Brother is here to study, I can make the decision .I made an agreement with my uncle and the others, I will earn my own money for my younger brother to study.”

"Then you two eat with your uncle's house?"

Niu Liang nodded: "Father left us a house, and we lived by ourselves. We went to uncle's house for dinner, and I went to work in the fields during the day, and my aunt helped take care of brother."

Ji Yuzhu frowned: "Are you going to work in the fields?"

"Well, my family has two acres of dry land, and I rent it out to rent food for my uncle. I usually help my uncle with some work in the field." He scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "But I am weak and slow. Not too many uncles."

Ji Yuzhu stared at his calloused and chapped hands, saw that he withdrew his hand awkwardly, and quickly turned his eyes away: "Then why do you come out to work?"

Niu Liang clasped his hands to cover the chapped wound: "I want my younger brother to study. My father said before that when my younger brother grows up, I will send him to study. My younger brother is so smart, he will definitely be able to learn to be a scholar. The family doesn’t have to pay land tax.”

Speaking of this, he was a little frustrated, "Uncle and the others disagreed and refused to pay. But the family is also in trouble, and his two children are not in school. Fortunately, Niuli is helping me. His nephew is a shopkeeper in Ningyufang in the capital. Let me go to work in two days."

With sparkling eyes, he patted Niu Shu's little head: "In this way, brother will have the money to pay for the repair."

Niu Shu nodded: "Well, I must study hard to be a scholar!"

Niu Liang smiled at him, and begged Ji Yuzhu shyly: "Sir, I will live in the capital where I work. Will my younger brother live with you then? He, he doesn't eat much. Yes, I will give another three hundred Wen every month! When my salary is paid, I will give it to you."

Ji Yuzhu was both funny and sad: "Silly boy, didn't you say that Shuxiu is enough? I already have a dormitory here, so A Shu can live in peace of mind." He stepped over Niu Shu's head and patted his hand, "Don't worry, I only receive bundle repairs twice a year here. The next time will be in September, don’t worry.”

Niu Liang was dubious: "Didn't you say that studying is expensive?"

"Well, it's different here." Ji Yuzhu smiled, "I study here, and I have to work. So my Shuxiu is paid less." Turning to look at Niu Shu, "Aren't you afraid of working? ?”

Niu Shu straightened his chest: "Don't be afraid, I also help my brother with work at home."

Niu Liang was a little cautious: "Sir, what kind of work does Ah Shu need to do then?"

"Well, sweeping the floor, wiping the table, etc."

Niu Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled: "That's good, these brothers often do it at home, and they will definitely do well."

Ji Yuzhu nodded: "Then I can rest assured."

Just as he was talking, Fang Xiaoan came in with a tray, first bowed to Ji Yuzhu, stepped forward, put down two cups of warm soybean milk and a plate of red bean cake on the small table between the two brothers, and smiled at Niu Liang , just backed out.

"Drink some soy milk, you came from Niutou Village, right? Drink some soy milk to warm your body."

Niu Liang hurriedly shook his head, Niu Shu looked at the red bean cake greedily, but didn't reach out.

Ji Yuzhu stood up and stuffed a cup of soy milk in one hand: "Drink it, it's still hot, drink it slowly."

The sweet smell came straight to his face, Niu Liang swallowed his saliva, hesitant.

Niu Shu held the soy milk in both hands, looking at Niu Liang longingly.

Ji Yuzhu put on a straight face: "What? Don't you listen to what you say, sir?"

Niu Liang and Niu Shu shook his head quickly, Niu Liang nodded to Niu Shu, and the two of them lowered their heads and took a sip tentatively.

"It's delicious and sweet!" Niu Shu was pleasantly surprised.

Niu Liang also smiled and narrowed his eyes, his tense body relaxed a bit.

After the two of them finished eating the red bean cake and soy milk, Niu Shu burped.

Niu Liang covered his mouth and looked at Ji Yuzhu in embarrassment.

Ji Yuzhu waved his hands funnyly: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way, you're still young." After thinking about it, "Are you going back to Niutou Village soon?"

Niu Liang nodded.

"Are you going to the capital tomorrow?"

Niu Liang nodded again.

"School starts at my place in the future. You guys go back and pack up today, and send A Shu over before leaving for the capital tomorrow." Ji Yuzhu made a final decision.

"Okay!" Niu Liang happily replied while pulling Niu Shu.

"I'll have someone take you back later." Ji Yuzhu made a decision, "Listen to Mr.!" Niu Liang's refusal was stopped with one sentence.

Niu Liang na na, but he couldn't stop the smile on his face.
