The ancient life of a master craftsman

Li Enbai wanted to run a school, and all of a sudden, the enthusiasm of ten miles and eight villages was aroused. He searched everywhere, and Master Sanyuan taught in person. Who wants to miss such a good opportunity?

For a while, Huaimu Village, which was not looked down upon by the surrounding villages because of its wealth, has now become a favorite.

Here, old man Yun and old man Mu all dispatched together, instead of Li Enbai coming to them, they took the initiative to find Li Enbai instead.

In general, there is only one meaning, one thousand and 1 supports.If you want to speak somewhere, the place will be drawn to you before the voice hits the ground.

Li Enbai did have something to look forward to, but it was relatively remote, next to Liu's factory, and he did not teach for free.

"First the villain and then the gentleman. I also put this ugliness in front of me. As the saying goes, 'Dou Mien, Sheng Miqiu', you don’t know how to cherish things that you get for nothing, so if you want to enter the school, Shu Xiu can’t accept it. This is the other way. one."

Li Enbai is not short of this amount of repair money, but he can't do without it. If he gives away his own interests, tomorrow others will not take advantage of you or take advantage of you.

The accounts have to be settled, and the situation is also explained.

Old man Yun and the others had no objection when they heard him like this. They have been in their village for so many years. Although they are not rich, they have never given up on running a school.

Why can't it be done?It's not that the gentlemen outside don't want to come to their small village.

Some families tighten their belts and send their children to schools in other villages, but they can only send them for a year at most. If they have no money, it is one thing, and if their children are bullied in other villages, it is another.

Now that they have a school in their own village, there must be fewer confinement repairs than sending them outside. Coupled with the knowledge of their son-in-law here, the business is guaranteed to make money, so naturally they have no objections.

Seeing that they had no intention of objecting, Li Enbai went on to say, "There is a second item. I received a reward from the prefect earlier, and I don't need to pay taxes for the extra ten acres of land. I plan to put the share of the ten acres of land in the village. Sacrificial field."

Li Enbai threw out an astonishing news without any pain, not to mention that Mu Laosan and the others couldn't react, even the old man Yun was dumbfounded, so he ignored it and continued, "But, the reward is for me after all, and I also It can’t be given to the village for nothing, so I have to give me [-]% of the ten acres of land every year, and I don’t have to give it again after ten years.”

Old Man Yun and the others still refused, taking advantage of Li Enbai for no reason. As long as he is willing to run a school, these old men will be grateful to him.

"Lizi and I have already discussed this matter, and Lizi also agrees with my idea. Sacrificial land is the heritage of the family and the escape route for future generations. It should be prepared early. Uncles and fathers, you don't have to refuse, and I also Having said that, it wasn’t given to the village for free, so it doesn’t count as taking advantage of me.”

"The thing I'm anxious about now is the school. The weather has been pretty good recently, the fields have been busy, and this year's tax has been paid. It's a good time to set up the school and collect the students." Li Enbai didn't even think about it. To turn over the new year, the time is a little tense.

As soon as Old Man Yun and the others heard about the school, they put the sacrificial land aside. They haven't bought the land on the left and right, and it's still a matter of nothing, but the school is imminent.

Those who contributed ideas and money one by one, it is very unfortunate that the school was built the next day.

It was Li Enbai who had planned a long time ago. He took out his plan and handed over each task to Old Man Yun and the others. His main purpose here is to collect the students first. The weather is not cold recently. Lectures are made.

Yunhe and the others didn't know the reason why Li Enbai was so anxious, Liu Mingxi and the others who lived in Li's house could guess a thing or two, but no one said anything about it.

After Li Enbai organized the middle-aged and middle-aged children in the village who wanted to go to school to sell the books, and all of them were sold within an hour, Zhao Ping'an's letters to the capital became more frequent.

Li Enbai's idea here still needs time to settle before it can see its power, but Yunli over there made Chen Yingcai and Zhang shi severely humiliated.

It turned out that he actually sent Yan Yu to Bai Xiaocha, and asked Yan Yu to encourage Bai Xiaocha to take him back to the Zhang family to be Chen Yingcai's concubine.

He made an agreement with Yanyu in advance that his contract of selling himself is in the hands of Boss Zhang, and the whole family of Boss Zhang will not deal with them. After reselling it, he bought him another hand.

Yan Yu was also a bold person. After listening to his thoughts, he went to Lijia Village for a few days, and when he came back, he said that he agreed, so he asked Liu Zhou to pretend to be the servant of the Zhang family, and sent Yan Yu to the Bai family.

Liu Zhou told Bai Xiaocha that this is the master's new husband, who is very suitable for the master, but the wife does not let him in. The master said that he will be placed in Bai's house first, so that she can treat him well. Eating the good fruit made Bai Xiaocha feel uneasy.

Turning around, he gave her mother Bailan five taels of silver, saying that the master gave her money to look after the wild goose master, and if she looked after the wild goose well, there would be a reward.

Bai Lanhua didn't even save her own sister's life for the sake of money. When she saw the money, she couldn't remember whether her daughter was in a good mood.

Yan Yu's ability to see people was honed in the building. Looking at the expressions of Bai Lanhua and Bai Xiaocha, he knew what was going on, but he put on a show.

He was used to seeing gold, silver and jade, and knew what kind of goods could deceive the uninformed, so Yunli was willing to spend, and gave him a full 100 taels of silver for him to buy.

He exchanged 20 taels of silver melon seeds, which were not big, only the size of a baby's fingernail. It looked like a lot in a pot, but in fact, it didn't cost two renminbi.He went to buy a lot of miscellaneous jades, picked them up and asked Yunhe to carve them into various rich and noble patterns, and hung them on his body and ears.

But it is enough to scare the white orchid who sees money eyes open. He is also very smart. He wears all valuable things on his body, and the silver melon seeds are stored in a locked box. It is not a small box, but a kind of solid wood for clothes big box.

Prevent Bai Lanhua, mother and daughter, from stealing his money and then torturing him in turn.Every three days, Liu Zhou dressed up in disguise and came to see Yan Yu, and gave him a snack and jewelry.

She came and went, not to mention the Bai family, even the villagers in Lijia Village knew that Bai Xiaocha was not to be favored by Master Chen, and she was a concubine who had to be looked after by Master Chen when she was pregnant.

When Bai Xiaocha got angry, Yan Yu ran over to comfort her hypocritically, "It stands to reason that I should call you sister, after all, we are all serving the master, so I'll just tell you my brother." If you have a heart, your baby, it's better not to have it."

"You fart!" Bai Xiaocha wanted to beat him out, but since there was a child in her stomach, she couldn't move smoothly, so Yan Yu couldn't do anything.

"Sister is so vulgar, it's no wonder I have to be liked by the master. Don't believe it, you know the wife of our house. She looks broad-minded and fat. She should be a kind person, but she is the most vicious in her heart. She is worrying about whether she will survive. If you have a son, you have to tolerate the master taking concubines."

Yanyu glanced at her gloatingly, which made Bai Xiaocha feel a little chilly, "The baby in my sister's womb was lucky, and it came at this time, but it didn't mean that our wife had a good idea to wait for you to give birth. Come on, leave the mother and keep the son, and keep it under her name. Once the son is born, the master will naturally not be able to brazenly take concubines."

"It's okay if the wife can't give birth to a son all the time. My sister's son is the only incense in the Chen family. After recognizing my wife as a mother, life is beautiful. If the wife gives birth to a son, your mother and son can also be reunited underground. At that time I have also enjoyed a few years of blessings, no loss."

Yan Yu's words frightened Bai Xiaocha. She didn't want to believe it at first, but when the servants of Zhang's mansion saw her, it was no different from seeing the weeds on the roadside. They only cared about Yan Yu, so they wrote a letter to Sir, no reply.

In addition, Yan Yu sneered at her, "You still think that the master will save you? Zhang's house is controlled by the wives. I don't think your letter will reach the master."

Three days later, Liu Zhou came to pick up Yanyu, "Master Yan, the master asked the younger one to take you to the town for a gathering."

Yan Yu hurriedly dressed up beautifully, her eyebrows and eyes were full of style, got into the carriage and went straight to the town, and came back at night, with new jewelry and money.

Seeing that Bai Lanhua's eyes were hot, she urged Bai Xiaocha to find a way to meet Chen Yingcai, and also took some money to go home. What's the matter with eating her mother's family?

Bai Xiaocha imagined how she could save herself and her child by learning the scriptures in the language of geese. She didn't want to give birth to a child and die.

Yanyu said lightly, "You can go back to Zhang's house, go back to raise your baby, and let Mrs. Chen watch over you every day. Who else can do anything to you?"

Bai Xiaocha was not as optimistic as he was. Mrs. Chen had come here once in the past few months, and ran away after showing her face. She was also unreliable.

Begging Yanyu again, Yanyu said, "What good will it do me if I help you? Although I can't enter Zhang's mansion now, my life is not bad. The master cares about me, so why bother me in your business?" inside?"

Bai Xiaocha is a person who is not profitable, so she naturally thinks that others are like this. If Yanyu helped her in vain, she would still scold Yanyu in her heart. Now that Yanyu wants benefits, she sincerely begs Looking at him is also a bitch.

So Yanyu fooled Bai Xiaocha around and asked her to write a letter, all of which were compiled by Yanyu.Because Bai Xiaocha is illiterate, she can only write her own name and looks like a chicken paw, this letter is written by a literate person in the Li family village, and the rumors outside that Yanyu is Chen Yingcai's new concubine are just plain old. spread more widely.

With Liu Zhou's cooperation, many people in the town know that Mr. Chen, who likes to go shopping in brothels, has taken in another concubine. It is said that he has been dating for a long time and has never been on the road.

All these rumors have reached the mayor's ears, and he is still dissatisfied with Chen Yingcai in his heart. Such a greedy beauty is hard to achieve a big deal, but he didn't remember that it was not what he said when he gave Li Enbai beauty.

When the time was right, Yan Yu went to the town with Bai Xiaocha's letter. Liu Zhou had found out that Chen Yingcai would go out for a drink today, and Yan Yu deliberately went to stop him.

After meeting each other, they called Master affectionately, and took out Bai Xiaocha's letter, "Master, this is a letter from Sister Bai, you asked Yan Yu to take care of Sister Bai, Yan Yu did her best Heart, you have to take good care of Yanyu."

The people who drank with Chen Yingcai were mostly students who shared his taste. They often went to the brothel to spend the night, but they recognized Yanyu at a glance, and they all teased, "I wonder why I haven't seen Xiaoyaner lately?" Oh, it turns out that Brother Chen has been spoiled, Brother Chen is so lucky, so lucky, hahaha."

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Song? You still remember Yanyu, but teaching Yanyu feels a lot of relief. Unfortunately, Yanyu has been redeemed by the master, and he will only serve the master in the future." Yanyu was born as a prostitute. , Of course I am not afraid of being scolded for being shameless.

But Chen Yingcai was scared, scared to death. It is understandable for their students to go to a brothel to drink, drink and recite poems.Even if he buys a talented and famous prostitute to go home as a concubine, he can be said to be a romantic man, but it is always contemptuous to say it openly, and he will be labeled as an obsessed with beauty.

He still wants to take the Jinshi exam and become a high official, so he must not leave such a stain on him.

So he said on the spot, "Yanyu is not my concubine, she was raised by Li Sanyuan, so it has nothing to do with me."

Shaking his hands away, Yan Yu grabbed him, "Master, what are you talking about? I haven't even met Mr. Li Sanyuan, so how did I become his? I'm here to send you a letter for Sister Bai." Yes, you just don't care about Yanyu anymore, you have to find out about the child in Sister Bai's belly, so accept this letter, right?"

Those words put Chen Yingcai on fire, not to mention his classmates, but the other guests and waitresses around him all looked at Chen Yingcai strangely.

Even if he repeatedly explained that the Yanyu was given to Li Sanyuan by the mayor, others would not believe it. Li Sanyuan never went to the fireworks field, and everyone who knew Li Sanyuan in the town said that he loved his husband very much. How could the mayor intentionally make things difficult for Li Sanyuan? ?

Secondly, what Yan Yu got was a letter from Chen Yingcai's concubine, saying that he was redeemed by the Zhang family and followed Chen Yingcai, but he didn't expect that he would not be able to enter the gate of the Zhang family, so he could only take care of her pregnant woman and live in her mother's house Bai's.

Who in the town didn't know that Chen Yingcai was born poor, that is to say, he married the Zhang family's daughter to have spare money, but Yan Yu said that the Zhang family redeemed him, because Chen Yingcai didn't have the money himself!

This is peeling off Chen Yingcai's face, leaving him no face at all.

Naturally, Chen Yingcai refused to admit it, but he couldn't stop everyone's thinking. He had no choice but to run back to Zhang's mansion and ask his father-in-law for advice.

But when he ran away, it seemed that he had a guilty conscience. In addition, Yan Yu's beautiful eyes were full of tears, so pitiful, it made people despise Chen Yingcai, saying that he was a boneless man.

Yan Yu did a full set of plays, and ran away crying, and when he ran to a place where there were no people, he got into the carriage that had been following him, and went straight out of the town.

After returning to Huaimu Village, he was thrown into the factory by Yunli and asked Xiao An to take care of him, and his name was temporarily changed to Liu Yu, saying that he was the younger brother of Liu Zhou's family, and he learned to be a steward from Xiao An.

So when Zhang Fugui suppressed his anger and suppressed the incident, even Bai Xiaocha, who was raised in the countryside, was taken back to the mansion to be raised, but the culprit could not be found.

He checked and checked, but he never expected that Yanyu, a fair-skinned and beautiful prostitute who could only climb men's beds, had transformed into Liu Yu with a sallow complexion and a thin figure, who was learning to manage the canteen in the factory.

Of course, the real reason why he couldn't find out was because almost all of the [-] elite soldiers brought by Zhao Ping'an were stationed in Huaimu Village.

For this reason, Yunli specially bought ten fat pigs as a dish for the elite soldiers, as a thank you.
