smoke from cooking

"Ama." Zhang Ri Zhangyue blinked and looked at Nan Shu.

"It doesn't taste good, but it's good for your health."

"What the master Mama said is true, can you..." Seeing that the three of them had drunk, Dou Mama rubbed her hands and looked at Nan Shu hesitantly.

"Dou Mama take it to drink. You men and children, wait for them to come back and then drink the goat's milk. This milk is fresh, never let go."

"Thank you Mama, Mama." Dou Mama took the goat milk, squeezed her nose and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Oh, this smell is really strong." Dou Mama wiped her mouth with her sleeve, "If you pinch your nose tightly, you really have to swallow it."

"In the future, everyone will drink half a bowl every day."

Zhang Ri Zhangyue lowered his head and answered in a muffled voice.Zhang Yue wondered why he had to take the bitter medicine every day.

After the Lunar New Year, Zhang Ri will be five years old.Nan Shu began to prepare for Zhang Ri's enlightenment.It turns out that the gentleman proposed by You Ning is cheap and is said to be well educated.But now that she has a relationship with You Ning, Nan Shu really can't open her mouth to ask You Ning to find someone.

After thinking about it, Nan Shu decided to go to the east end of the city to have a look.

The school opened by Wen Xiucai is on Luohua Street in the east of the city.As the name suggests, most of the people who live here are failed scholars, as well as unsatisfied scholars.The rent is relatively cheaper than Fuyang Street, and the environment is also full of trees. Unfortunately, it is a bit close to the market, so I don't care too much after all.

Wen Xiucai's school is at the end of Luohua Street.In an ordinary courtyard, there is a big tree in front of the courtyard gate. From a distance, the big tree seems to cover half of the courtyard.

There is an old man over half a century old guarding the gate of the small courtyard.The old man saw that Nan Shu was holding a child in each hand, and one of them seemed to have reached the age of enlightenment.The old man pushed open the wooden door and let Nan Shu lead the child in.

The yard is not big, it seems to be one-third smaller than Zhang's front yard.On the left side of the entrance is the kitchen. When the door is opened, there is a stove inside. It is probably where Wen Xiucai's family eats.

The small courtyard is facing three large rooms.The sound of children reading could be heard from the middle room. Many children looked out of the window, but they saw Nan Shu bringing their children in.

The doors and windows of the two large rooms on the left and right are tightly closed, and the inside cannot be seen. Presumably it must be Wen Xiucai's study or something.On the right side of the small courtyard are side rooms on both sides, and the doors and windows are also tightly closed.

Nan Shu looked at the environment and felt dissatisfied.The place used by the students is only one main hall, and there is no place for extracurricular activities.And mixed with my husband's family, I don't even have a front or back yard.

Barely suppressing the dissatisfaction in her heart, Nan Shu walked to the window and looked sideways into the main hall.In the middle of the main hall, a skinny man about forty years old, pinching his chin and beard, squinting his eyes, shaking his head and thinking.He read a sentence, and the students followed suit.

Nan Shu noticed that in the main hall, there were twelve long tables arranged horizontally and vertically, and ten of them were already occupied.There are two boys sitting at each table.

The boys are yawning, throwing balls of paper secretly to play, studying obediently, and sleeping on the table, all in various states.And Wen Xiucai, who was sitting at the front, didn't care about them, but kept reading by himself.

Nan Shu shook her head, this kind of teaching is better than teaching by herself.Unfortunately, I am illiterate.

Mr. (II) Inverted Chapter V

Knowing that Ama was going to send him to study, Zhang Ri stood on tiptoe and looked around the room.The boys shook their heads and followed the teacher to study.Zhang Ri also shook his head enviously.

Nan Shu tapped Zhang Ri's head amusedly, at such a young age, she hasn't learned books yet, so she has learned a lot of bad habits.

"Let's go."

Zhang Ri was reluctant to be dragged away by Nan Shu, turned around every step of the way, and asked Nan Shu when he got out of the small courtyard. "Ama, do I want to go to school here?"

Zhang Ri's eyes were filled with anticipation, and Nan Shu couldn't bear to criticize Wen Xiucai's poor teaching.Only vaguely replied, "Let's look at other colleges."

"Oh." With a long ending, Zhang Ri's two short legs rubbed left and right on the ground, with his head hanging down.

"Let's go."

The father and son returned to the small courtyard, and Nan Shu asked Dou Mama to go and find out if there were any other gentlemen nearby.Dou Mama agreed and ran out quickly.

Before Dou Mama came back, Wang Wenjun came to the door suddenly, thanked Nan Shu personally, and gave two bolts of satin brocade cloth, two bolts of fine cotton cloth, and a piece of ginseng about the length of a baby's arm as thanks.Zhang Ri Zhang Yue each got a thumb-sized safety lock made of pure gold.

Nan Shu accepted Wang Wenjun's thank you gift, and said goodbye to He Mingmin in the backyard room.

"Homama, be careful on the way, lie down as much as possible, don't get too tired."

"How good a car and horse can be. I know it." He Mingmin was tightly wrapped by Zhang Mama, everything from the neck down.

"Nan Mama, if I can keep my family status when I go back this time. I can't guarantee anything else. You and Zhang Ri Zhangyue will come to the imperial capital in the future, even if you live in the Wang family. I will take care of everything."

"Meeting is fate. Besides, I took your money, rented a house for you, and took care of your food. It is also my duty to take care of you."

"Don't say these polite words now. Nan Mama, you and I know it well. Everyone can do the icing on the cake, and how many people are willing to lend their hands to give charcoal in the snow. My father and son can survive until now, and I have you more. Nan Mama, I, He Mingmin, have remembered your love." He Mingmin lowered his head and bent towards Nan Shu.

Nan Shu didn't want to accept his gift, so she hurriedly moved aside.

"Nan Mama doesn't know, you..."

"Master Mama is ready." Zhang Mama raised the curtain and rushed in, but it just happened to cover up He Mingmin's last words.

Nan Shu thought it was just words of gratitude, so she didn't ask.

He Mingmin was carried out of Fuyang Street in a soft sedan, and then put into a spacious carriage with two tall horse-drawn carriages.Zhang Mama hugged the child and followed closely behind.According to Nan Shu's visual inspection, the carriage that Wang's family came to pick up the people can accommodate at least two people lying down and sleeping.He Mingmin had already been sent to the carriage, and the moment he lifted the curtain to enter, he suddenly turned around and his lips moved slightly.

Nan Shu looked from afar and said, "Remember to come and see me."

The carriage gradually drifted away, and finally disappeared completely from sight.

Nan Shu cheered up, it's all right, send He Mingmin away, and the backyard is vacant again.After careful calculation, I made a lot of money this trip.Originally, Wang Wenjun paid the rent and food expenses for half a year, excluding the bag of silver he gave last time, and there were four extra bolts of good cloth and one ginseng.Using the ginseng with the thickness of your own fingers to use the big ginseng with the length of the baby's arm, no matter how you look at it, you have earned it yourself.

Nan Shu thought, maybe Zhang Mama told Wang Wenjun that she made ginseng chicken soup, so Wang Wenjun gave her a piece of ginseng as compensation.

Nan Shu touched her chin.As the saying goes, ginseng is not about being expensive, but about using it effectively.Look, small ginseng can also nourish the mind and nourish Qi.

Nan Shu asked Mama Dou to clean up the backyard.See what needs fixing and fix it quickly so you don't have to wait for the next tenant to move in.

Nan Shu returned to the small courtyard, sat down and took a sip of tea when she saw Di Bao poking her head at the gate of the courtyard.

"Come in? What are you doing standing at the door?"

"It's not that I saw Nan Mama was busy, so I didn't dare to disturb her." Dibao said nonsense with his eyes open.The dibao knew about He Mingmin's affairs, but he didn't expect that Nan Shu would save He Mingmin later, and He Mingmin's husband was so rich and powerful.Di Bao was worried, afraid that Nan Shu would not treat him well.

"Did Bao come over today for something?" Today's events are so one after another, that people don't even have half the time to relax.

"Is Nan Mama's backyard still rented? I am here to send a tenant here for Nan Mama." Seeing that Nan Shu's expression was normal, the land treasurer felt relieved, walked into the main hall carelessly, and chose a seat to sit down.

"Rent. Is there a new tenant?"

"A scholar who was on the list a few years ago." Dibao gave a thumbs up, "A good knowledge."

"The emperor went to the exam, or do you want to find a quiet place to study?" If you go to the exam, you may not agree to teach Zhang Ri. If you study, you may be able to impress with the rent.

"study."

"When can we meet again?"

"I'm afraid it won't work. He's still on his way. It will take a while to get here."

"Then?" Nan Shu hesitated. No matter how you rent a house, you have to see the tenant's appearance, talk, and get to know his temperament.If you haven't even seen what it looks like, how do you know it's good or bad?The house is his own, if something really happens, the tenant pats his ass and walks away, and he has to stay and clean up the mess.

"Nan Mama, you have to trust me. I will introduce this tenant to you. It is definitely a first-class tenant." Di Bao subconsciously leaned forward.

Nan Shu raised her brows, as if she was introducing someone to herself.

"How about this. I'll write you a contract for a short-term lease for three months. If you're not satisfied within three months, you can drive him away immediately. If you get into any lawsuits, I'll take care of it for you."

Nan Shu was a little tempted at first, but immediately became suspicious, who could make Dibao make such a big promise.

"I have to think about it." Nan Shu didn't stop talking.

When Di Bao heard this, he immediately became anxious. Just now, Nan Shu was still very excited, so why did she change immediately? "Nan Mama, I'm looking at the matter of that Mama before, and I'm looking for it for you. There was something wrong with me in the previous matter. This person didn't check it out, so he asked him to rent your yard. I Knowing that Mama had a lot to do with it later on. I am here to make amends."

Speaking of this, if Nan Shu's decades of life experience still don't know the meaning of Dibao, then her life is in vain.

"Honestly, who the hell entrusted you to rent my yard?
