Don't Forget Everything

Wen Ran and Qiao Xingzhi found a teahouse to sit down.

"Aqiao, how did you find Baibi Villa for the free school?"

Qiao Xingzhi said: "Baibi Mountain Villa walked through the water many years ago, and neither the owner nor his wife survived. The fire burned so badly that it almost burned Baibi Mountain Villa into a piece of scorched earth, leaving only Baibi Mountain Villa My little miss. After the fire, in order to rebuild Baibi Mountain Villa, the Guo family hired many people to help, such as wood bricklayers and so on, and young and middle-aged people can do the lifting. I got acquainted with the middle management. Later, I opened a teahouse on the official road, and people from Baibi Mountain Villa passed by me from time to time, and they had to chat a little."

Song Yilin mentioned these things to Wen Ran last time, but he didn't say anything in detail. Maybe Song Yilin didn't know what happened. If Wen Ran wasn't wary of Guo Mengying, maybe he wouldn't even ask Qiao Xingzhi.

"Aqiao, you are acquainted with the steward. You said that the uprising is just a small talk. How can you get a promise from Miss Guo? Can the steward of Baibi Villa talk to Miss Guo?"

Qiao Xingzhi couldn't help being stunned when Wen Ran asked him such a question. He looked at Wen Ran and couldn't understand why Wen Ran was suspicious of this. Isn't it a good thing that Baibi Villa came forward to help run the charity school?Why looking at Wen Ran's expression, it seems that he really is not.

"This...Miss Guo has a good reputation. The reason why I talked about the uprising school before is because I talked about Miss Guo's repair of the Guanyin Temple in advance, and said that I need to recruit more capable workers. The Avalokitesvara Temple was repaired before winter, so we started talking." Wen Ran didn't know what Qiao Xingzhi said, and Baibi Villa was in Yuzhou.

"So, this Miss Guo often does good deeds?"

"Hey, that's right. I heard that Miss Guo has sincerely worshiped the Buddha since her parents died, donated a lot of incense to the temple, and went to the temple to give porridge on the first day of every month. Everyone in Yuzhou knows it and praises it. .So when it comes to repairing the Guanyin Temple, the people first thought of the Guo family, and Ms. Guo immediately agreed. It’s really kind-hearted.”

Wen Ran frowned, listening to what Qiao Xingzhi meant, this Miss Guo was really a kind person, and she was indeed a well-educated lady at the Qionglin Banquet, and her speech and behavior were all appropriate, if Wei Chuyue hadn't mentioned Guo Mengying Wen Ran might not be on guard if he bought the lives of Cai Jingshan and Young Master Cai from Wuwangzhai.Wen Ran doesn't know why, but it's not easy for a young lady like Guo Mengying to be acquainted with Wuwangzhai and Wei Chuyue, and she can't easily believe the appearance.

"Before I heard that among these aristocratic families in the Southwest, the Guo family has been quietly lonely. Why does Miss Guo have to give out porridge every month and build temples. Such expenses are not small."

Qiao Xingzhi nodded and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. After all, the Guo family is a century-old family with a lot of land, real estate, and shops. These money should not be a problem. Besides, the Guo family still has Mr. Guo, who has returned to his homeland, must have people who go to the Guo family to curry favor with him."

It is true to say so, but how can a little girl like Guo Mengying support such a large family business by herself?If you don't have some means and thoughts, and no one to help you, I'm afraid you can't do it.

But if you think about it again, Wuwangzhai never does evil, Wen Ran himself is also related to Wuwangzhai, Song Yilin is a person of Wuwangzhai, not only is he not trustworthy, but he should be the most trustworthy, but Wen Ran can't do that Think about Guo Mengying.

Wen Ran asked again: "Aqiao, please tell me in detail how Miss Guo agreed to come forward to run a free school?"

"Oh, good." Qiao Xing didn't know what Wen Ran was doing and asked so carefully, but since he asked, he answered carefully. After all, it was Wen Ran and Song Yilin who thought about running the righteous school, and it took a lot of thought. , you should be more cautious.

"The manager of Baibi Mountain Villa is not boasting about their Miss Guo. People from all over the world say that Miss Guo is really like the Goddess of Mercy who has descended to the earth and has done good deeds all the year round. The craftsman who built the temple silently pinched the image of Goddess of Mercy. The appearance of Miss Guo is three-pointed. I thought that Miss Guo is so kind-hearted and has the influence of the Guo family. She would be happy to come forward to run a charity school, so I talked to the manager. After hearing this, the manager was a little hesitant. Although the free school is a good thing, there are many problems in it, and it cannot be completed by spending a sum of money. Once the free school starts, it will have to go on year after year. It is very likely to be a bottomless pit. Not good, it will implicate the Guo family, and the person in charge can't make the decision, I just promised that I will report to Miss Guo to know, and I have to listen to Miss Guo's wishes."

Wen Ran nodded, and said: "The manager's words are right. Free school is not a temple. After finishing the training, there will naturally be incense. The children accepted in free school are all hard-working. Not only teaching but also raising, it is not a small expense."

Qiao Xingzhi took a sip of tea and nodded: "Mr. Wen, to tell you the truth, when Brother Song mentioned this to me, I was shocked for you... Hey, both you and Brother Song It’s a kind heart. How many people in Xiushan County depend on Brother Song to survive, and it’s all money, which is really not easy. Brother Song said that Yi Xue needs to be paid for by him, and my scalp is numb. Where does Brother Song know how much money it costs? He can't even figure it out when he buys two taels of pork in the street. He can do it with a slap on the head, so you can bear it, Mr. Wen. I don't care about it. Can't stand it."

Wen Ran smiled softly: "Didn't Ah Qiao also say that this is a good thing, since it is a good thing, then what's wrong with it?"

Qiao Xingzhi smiled wryly and shook his head: "Hey, why don't everyone envy Brother Song! This matter is going to be left on my daughter-in-law, she has to beat me with a cane... It's not that my daughter-in-law has a bad heart Ah! She also loves me, there are old and young, and who doesn’t want to have a better life at home, more money, and can make two new clothes for the children no matter the year or festival... Ouch, that’s far from it gone."

Hearing Qiao Xingzhi's long-winded words, Wen Ran felt warm in his heart, such an ordinary day is really good.

"Sister-in-law Qiao sounds very nice, why does Ah Qiao envy Brother Song?"

Qiao Xingzhi laughed loudly: "That's right! My daughter-in-law said that the family can't afford much money, but I still have the strength to build a school and make two desks and chairs!"

"Thank you."

"It's far away," Qiao Xingzhi chuckled, and continued, "Originally, the matter is over here. I didn't expect Miss Guo's family to really agree, and I didn't even expect the person in charge to pass on the words. I thought it was just a small talk. The two sentences have nothing to do with each other. How could you imagine that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Guo family would distribute mooncakes in front of the unfinished Guanyin Temple. I also asked about the specific plans, where to study, how many students, etc. I don’t know the specifics, so I just want to go to the city, so I can ask you, why do you think Song Ge went out first before I came? , I just wanted to wait for Brother Song to come back, but I met you, Mr. Wen, on the street again, isn't it just a coincidence."

Wen Ran smiled, and asked again: "Did you mention me when you were in charge of the Guo family's management?" The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival was the Qionglin Banquet in the Fan Mansion, and Wen Ran met Miss Guo for the first time. Could it be such a coincidence?But since I have asked all the questions, I simply asked them thoroughly.

Qiao Xingzhi thought for a while, and replied: "This... seems to have been mentioned. Mr. Wen, you have some reputation in Biancheng, but I'm afraid not many people know it when you arrive in Yuzhou. At that time, I only talked with the manager. One said, Mr. Wen, you have a university education, and the person in charge knew that there was a teacher, but the others didn't ask carefully."

"Is that so..."

"What's wrong with Mr. Wen? Wouldn't it be Ding's good thing that the Guo family is willing to come forward?"

Wen Ran smiled softly: "It's really a good thing, thank you Aqiao for threading the needle. Let Song Ge make up his mind on this matter when Song Ge comes back."

"Okay! Mr. Wen, we will do what you say!"

Wen Ran chatted with Qiao Xingzhi for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Qiao Xingzhi was about to leave. Isn't it because he was going back late and was afraid of being nagged by his wife? Wen Ran smiled and gave Qiao Xingzhi a section, this Just go home.

Along the way, Wen Ran always felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't put it into words. From Qiao Xingzhi's words, Guo Mengying was indeed very kind-hearted, and Wen Ran's various speculations seemed unreasonable.But after the marriage, Wen Ran didn't want to have anything to do with the Guo family anyway, lest Song Yilin look at him anxiously again.

Thinking of Song Yilin, Wen Ran couldn't help but glance at the door, when will he come back?Why is it only one day, it seems that I miss him very much.

Wen Ran laughed to himself, cut up the bacon he bought, divided it into three portions and wrapped them in oil paper, made himself a bowl of porridge and ate it.

On the other side, Song Yilin and Xia Yuan followed the carriage from Fan's residence to the post station. Cai Jingshan had his acupuncture points pressed, and Han Chongwen personally supported him into the room.

Song Yilin and Xia Yuan were lying on the roof, blowing the cold wind, Song Yilin said: "What's Han Chongwen's idea you said? Helping Cai Jingshan for a while, but then tying him up again? What is this?"

Xia Yuan ignored Song Yilin, what's the point of asking him such a question?He was not a roundworm in Han Chongwen's stomach, so asking him was useless.

"Hey, it's been a whole day, can you die if you say something?" Song Yilin didn't like to come out with Xia Yuan the most, this shrunken mouth gourd cherishes words like gold, really suffocates him to death.

"say what?"

"Hey, what do you think?"

"Wei Shao only said to follow, don't look at it."

"Hey, can't we have a good chat, right? Wei Shao asked you to find He Xuan and Feng Jin, where are they?"

Xia Yuan gave Song Yilin a blank look, and didn't bother to talk to him.At that time Xia Yuan was in Xuzhou, and Wei Chuyue ordered him to tidy up the Four Seas Hall. There were not many people in Xuzhou Wuwang Zhai. Xia Yuan was overconfident in himself, and was almost blown up by the gunpowder of the Four Seas Hall. Well, Wei Chuyue could see it, let him rest by himself, and didn't ask about the whereabouts of He Xuan and Feng Jin.

Song Yilin came out today and noticed that Xia Yuan's figure was a bit slow, so he must have been injured, but if Xia Yuan didn't tell him, Song Yilin would not expose his scars, not to mention that the more Wei Chu let Xia Yuan come out, the injury was not serious and should be fine. If he really wanted to do something, Song Yilin just had to protect him.What's more, just following, Wei Chuyue didn't let him do anything.

"It's really strange. He Xuan and Feng Jin came out of Biancheng after Qin Tang. Why didn't they see anyone all the way? They were captured by the monster in the mountains?"

Xia Yuan took a deep breath: "No matter how much nonsense you talk, the monsters in the mountains will come to arrest you."

"Tsk tsk, can you wish me well!"

Xia Yuan was helpless, only felt that his ears hurt.
