The Big Landlord
Chapter 42
In the past few days, the spring rain has continued to fall, and the wheat seedlings in the fields of Tangjia Village have lost their look of decay, and instead started to grow vigorously. People in the village say that this is a timely rain, and that God is pitying them.
Tang Shi braved the rain to go to the county town every day. In ancient times, the roads were all dirt, and when it rained, they were very muddy. A pair of cloth shoes in Tang Shi were almost worn out. Seeing this, Meng Zhen, out of pity, went to Made a pair of brand new cloth shoes for Tang shi.
Tang Shi didn't care about it at first, he would still wear blood-soaked shoes in the apocalypse, not to mention that these were just muddy water.But he still remembered Meng Zhen's kindness in his heart, and the next day when the weather was fine, he changed it.
This incident also reminded Tang Shi. He thought about the clothes of the Tang family and felt that the clothes of the Tang family were too simple. The clothes on Tang Song and Tang Feng were all worn out by Tang Nian and his three brothers. Cut a few pieces of cloth from the upper and lower, and make it together.
The remuneration earned from Mr. Zheng's family is still useless, anyway, it is still on the shelf, it is better to buy some practical ones, and it would be good to improve the quality of life of the old Tang family.
Tang Shi is a man of action. He mentioned this matter to Liu Shi Tang Qing when he went home for dinner that day, and said that Xiao Song and A Feng would go to school in August, so of course they couldn't dress too casually.
There was still a gap between the Tang family's consumption concept and Tang shi's. Tang shi spared no effort to break up with them, and also pulled Zhao Jin on the side into the battle.
Zhao Jin understood Tang Shi's eyes, and said dumbfoundedly: "Brother Shitou is right. In the future, Afeng and Xiaosong will both study, and most of the masters like clean and tidy children. Since I have chosen to let them study, Then we have to do our best as much as possible, if A Feng and Xiao Song are so handsome, if they are neatly dressed, they will definitely be loved by the master."
Tang Feng and Tang Song's eyes lit up immediately, it must be a very good thing to be valued by the master, right?Both of them couldn't help but began to look forward to it.
The Tang family was moved by what they said, and Zhao Xu on the side also began to persuade, "Not only their two boys, but also Xiaoya, Xiaoya is so good-looking, and she is so big, naturally she can't be the same as before. Come on in the same way."
Hearing this, Tang Ya couldn't help lowering her head shyly.
Zhao Xu has a lively personality, but likes a quiet girl like Tang Ya. After getting along with her, she feels that Tang Ya not only has a good temper, but also has a very smart head.Zhao Xu himself didn't like reading when he was a child, he only loved to learn martial arts from his father, so he would have an inexplicable sense of admiration for girls who love to read.
Tang Qing took a puff of smoke, looked at the expectant eyes of the children and his daughter-in-law in the room, and finally made a final decision, "Then the boss and the second child will take them to the city to cut some cloth tomorrow, and come back to make some cloth." Put on new clothes."
"And Mommy and Dad, our family all change into new clothes." Tang Shi added.
"That's for sure." Tang Nian and Tang Ji nodded.
So it's settled.
After dinner, Tang Shi went back to his room, took out a book, followed Zhao Jin to Zhao's house, went to the study room and unceremoniously looked for a book from the box and said, "I've finished reading this one, I'll take another one."
Seeing that his upper body was almost buried in the box, and only his little butt was left shaking outside, Zhao Jin suddenly laughed out loud.
When Tang Shi heard the laughter behind him that made his ears numb, he stopped immediately, turned his head, showing dissatisfaction, "What are you laughing at?"
Zhao Jin suppressed his smile, "It's nothing, you are looking for your book." Seeing that Tang Shi was struggling to find it, he asked, "What book do you want to read?"
Tang Shi's voice was muffled in the box, "History."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jin opened another box, "All such books are in this box."
Tang Shi pulled himself out of the box, rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily, "Won't you put a mark on each box?"
Zhao Jin was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "I didn't think carefully, but because I remember which books are in which box, I didn't think of this. I'm really sorry. Why don't we start now?"
"Whatever you want." Tang Shi found a book from Zhao Jin's opened box and took it out, and saw that Zhao Jin had already begun to write the categories on the paper.
Tang shi leaned over to look curiously, but after looking at it, he couldn't pull his eyes out.
He had seen many masters' calligraphy in his previous life, and he had also seen Yuan Yong's calligraphy here.Needless to say, Yuan Yong's words are respected by many students, and he is regarded as a master in the world.Tang Shi also thought it was good-looking, but Yuan Yong's handwriting might be affected by experience and age, it was more gentle and smooth, and he also had a sense of being indifferent to the world. Good-looking is certain, but it couldn't catch Tang Shi's mind.
But Zhao Jin is different. He is young, but he has experienced strong winds and waves, and seen the darkness of life. At the same time, he has his own ambitions. The words he writes appear to be calm and vigorous on the surface, but the twists and turns of his writing are not lost. It was this unstoppable sharpness that firmly grasped Tang Shi's mind.
He likes such words, and he likes this state of mind.
Zhao Jin made the last stroke, put the pen gently on the pen bed, and turned his head to see Tang Shi staring at his writing, dazed.
"Brother Stone." He called softly.
Tang Shi suddenly came back to his senses, looked up at him, and suddenly crashed into a rippling pool of cold water, calm and sharp beneath the gentle and peaceful surface.
Such Zhao Jin... such Zhao Jin...
Tang Shi suppressed his emotions, looked away calmly, and said, "Your handwriting is beautiful."
The corners of Zhao Jin's lips rose slightly, and his voice was so gentle that he wanted to drown someone, "Thank you Mr. Tang for your compliment."
The voice echoed in Tang Shi's ears, and Tang Shi only felt that his breathing was half a beat slow at that moment.
He tried his best to hide his fluctuating emotions, and snorted softly, "Then you can paste them well, so that I won't have to look so hard next time." He picked up the book, lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly ,"I'm going back."
Zhao Jin suddenly wanted to reach out and touch his mischievous eyelashes, but he held back.
"Okay, I'll remember, you won't have to work so hard next time."
Tang Shi walked out the door with a book in his arms, and just stepped out of the house, but suddenly turned to look at Zhao Jin, and saw Zhao Jin staring at him with gentle and tolerant eyes, and he didn't say what he wanted to say immediately.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Jin couldn't help but asked him with a smile: "Mr. Tang, what else do you want to tell me?"
Tang Shi paused, "Zhao Jin, I'm going to school in the county town in the morning, and in the afternoon I'm going to teach A Feng and the others calligraphy, and I'm going to see my flowers, so, can you ask Hong Zhong to teach them martial arts?"
Zhao Jin understood Tang Shi's thoughts and agreed with Tang Shi's thoughts, "Why don't I teach?" The most difficult hurdle has passed, and all he needs to do now is wait.He simply has nothing to do, it is better to find something to do.
As for why he didn't find other things to do, but wanted to take Hong Zhong's work, who knows?
Now that Zhao Jin recommended himself, how could Tang Shi refuse?So, things were so happily decided.
At this time, Tang Feng and Tang Song didn't know that their tragic fate was about to begin.
Early the next morning, everyone in the Tang family was mobilized except for Tang Qing and the Liu family.After all, Tang Feng and Tang Song are children at heart, and they were very happy along the way. Thinking that they are about to wear new clothes, they feel that the whole world has become better.
Tang Ya was also happy, but she was quiet and didn't show it too much.
After arriving in the city, Tang Shi separated from them and went to school as usual, but unexpectedly the county government had a visitor today.
Seeing him coming, Yuan Yong immediately smiled and beckoned Tang Shi over. Tang Shi obediently stood beside him, looked up at Yuan Yong, "Teacher." He then greeted Zheng Chonggan who was beside him: "Hello, Grandpa Zheng."
There were three others he hadn't seen.
Yuan Yong naturally wanted to explain to the little disciple, "Shitou, these are your Uncle Zheng and Aunt Yin, as well as the little brother of the Zheng family."
The three people in front of him should be Zheng Chongqian's son, daughter-in-law and grandson.
Zheng Chongqian's son was about four or so years old. He had a good appearance, a thin body, and sharp eyes. He smiled when he looked at Tang Shi, but his eyes were full of scrutiny.
Yin Shi is not ugly, with slightly high cheekbones, raised eyebrows, taller than ordinary women, and does not look so approachable.She also looked at Tang Shixiao, but there was some disdain and dissatisfaction in her smile.
dissatisfied?This is strange.
The rest is the Zheng family brother who is about 20 years old.Most of his appearance was inherited from his father, he looked refined and upright, with a slender figure, exuding an air of arrogance all over his body.He looked at Tang Shi and only smiled politely, without any concern in his eyes.
Tang Shi said politely one by one: "Hello Uncle Zheng, Aunt Yin, and Brother."
"Oh, this child is so good!" Yin came to Tang Shi with a smile, and praised Tang Shi's appearance, "I heard that it was difficult and frightened before. It's really pitiful. It's fine now. right?"
Yuan Yong's expression did not change, but the smile in his eyes restrained a little.
Zheng Chongqian felt that something was wrong when he heard it, but his daughter-in-law has always been like this.
Tang Shi smiled obediently, "Thank you Aunt Yin for your concern, everything is fine now."
Yin Shi laughed happily, his eyes became a line, "It's fine."
At this time, Meng Zhen walked over with some snacks and smiled, "It's a rare time to come, so we all sit down to drink tea and eat some snacks."
Yuan Yong laughed, and said to Meng Zhen, "You can't delay your studies. I'll take the stone to class first, and you will entertain me first."
Zheng Chongqian has been friends with Yuan Yong for so many years, and he knows his temperament. Unless there is an accident, he will not stop the course, even if he is an old friend, he will not change.
"Got it, you go, Lin Qi came here to meet Jian Gui, it has nothing to do with your old man!" He joked.
Tang Shi also said goodbye to them and followed Yuan Yong.
Chen Jiangui was still dealing with official duties and couldn't get away for a while, so Meng Zhen had no choice but to come over to receive him in person.
In fact, she was not familiar with them, and she didn't know what to say, so she cast her eyes on Zheng Lirong, and asked with a smile: "I heard that Lirong entered the Imperial College, this is really a happy event!"
Zheng Linqi's majestic face softened a little, while Yin's face smiled, "Where? After all, it is just a school. How can the master in it compare with Mr. Yuan? According to me, it is considered powerful to be able to worship Mr. Yuan as a teacher." Well, I don't know if Hong'er worshiped Mr. Yuan as his teacher?"
The smile on Meng Zhen's face faded slightly.
Tang Shi braved the rain to go to the county town every day. In ancient times, the roads were all dirt, and when it rained, they were very muddy. A pair of cloth shoes in Tang Shi were almost worn out. Seeing this, Meng Zhen, out of pity, went to Made a pair of brand new cloth shoes for Tang shi.
