Chapter 52: Master Shen
Jiang Shuangyan and Mrs. Wu both said, "Yes, Miss."
Although they have the same doubts as Zongzheng, their purpose is to do whatever the lady asks.
Yu Wan felt that the dryness in the air was getting more and more serious. This was not the rhythm of rain, but the rhythm of a severe drought. The harvest of food was imminent.
The days are approaching the day when the private school starts. In the morning, the family got up early. Under the leadership of Yu Wan, the group came outside Master Shen's house.
Yu Haoran stepped forward and knocked on the door. The door immediately opened, revealing the face of an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life: "Are you looking for Master Shen?"
"Yes, old man, please inform me," Yu Haoran said very politely.
The old man said: "Just a moment."
Yu Haoran: "Thank you, uncle."
Yu Wan secretly praised Yu Haoran. In less than a month, he went from a boy who dared not say a word to a calm and generous eldest son. She looked back at Feng who was holding Xiao Qi. She had contributed a lot to it.
After a while, the old man turned around and said to Yu Haoran: "Master, let those who want to study go in, and the others can wait."
"ah?"
Yu Wan smiled, Master Shen really did everything based on his preference.
"Uncle Zong, please give the apprenticeship ceremony to the eldest brother and the others, each can take his own."
"Yes, miss", Zongzheng distributed the four apprenticeship ceremonies to the four Yu Haoran brothers.
Yu Wan stepped forward and looked at the apprenticeship ceremony in the basket to confirm that there was nothing wrong with it.
In addition, she added a pound of spiritual wine to each apprenticeship ceremony. I think the old man liked this more.
"Brother, you don't have to be formal when you go in to see the Master. I'm sure the Master will give you a test. You can answer whatever you want. Go in, don't keep the Master waiting."
The four brothers straightened their chests, straightened their clothes, and entered the house carrying baskets.
Mrs. Feng watched the four brothers go in with a worried look. Why didn't she know Master Shen? If you have real talent, you can learn from it, but your mouth is poisonous.
At that time, Master Shen was demoted for a time and became a major topic of conversation in the capital. If Mrs. Shen knew that it was her father who demoted her, would she be angry with her child?
Yu Wan did not ignore the worry in Feng's eyes. She stepped forward and teased Xiao Qi.
"Mom, don't worry, trust me."
"Xiao Si'er, mother knows that if you don't worry, it's a lie. Then Master Shen..." Mrs. Feng hesitated.
Yu Wan saw what Feng was thinking, but Feng didn't think about it either. Now she has an identity. She said: "Mom, you are thinking too much. I have met Mrs. Shen. She is a good wife. Don't worry, big brother and the others will definitely become him." s student".
Master Shen was able to become a bachelor and was demoted again and again. Now he is living a leisurely and carefree life. His heart is open-minded and he has already seen through all the situations in the world. How can he be influenced by a down-and-out royal family.
An hour later, while everyone was waiting anxiously, the four brothers came out beaming.
"Mom, fourth sister, we can come to school tomorrow." Xiaowu ran forward and threw himself into Yu Wan's arms. His happy look was beyond words.
"Really? That's great." Mrs. Feng was overjoyed at this moment.
"Let's go, mother, little four, let's go back and talk," Yu Haoran called to Mrs. Feng, standing in front of the master's door and talking loudly, how decent was it?
"Oh oh oh, let's go, let's go, mom is so happy." Could Mrs. Feng be unhappy? Thinking about her identity, what would she be like if that incident hadn't happened back then? What kind of life do her current children want to live in, and what kind of school do they want to enter?
Now her Ran'er was enlightened only when she was a teenager.
Thanks to Xiao Si'er, if it weren't for her, their family would still be working in the old house. The poison in her body is still there, and there is no telling whether she will die or not.
It was her obedient little fourth son who brought the whole family out of the sea of misery!
Mrs. Feng looked at the loving brothers and sisters in front of them, her eyes full of love, and her heart felt like she had eaten honey.
Back at Yu Mansion, Yu Wan asked Zong Zheng to have the kitchen prepare a table of delicious dishes, and the eight of them, mother and son, had a great time at noon.
This is the most important happy event for their family.
"Okay, miss, I'll take care of it now." Zongzheng stepped back and trotted towards the kitchen.
The eight mother and son entered Yu Wan's courtyard, and she asked Mrs. Wu and Jiang Shuangyan to make tea and arrange the fruits.
Mrs. Feng sat at the top with Xiao Qi in her arms, and the brothers and sisters sat down one after another, all waiting for Yu Haoran and the others to say.
"Brother, tell me. You see, our mother is impatient."
Yu Haoran took a few sips of tea and said: "Actually, Master Shen just asked each of us one question, and we answered whatever we thought. Then he asked us to worship the Great Sage Su, and then perform the apprenticeship ceremony."
He added: "What Master Shen asked me is: If a person is very poor and you want to help him, how should you help him? I think that Xiao Si'er teaches us literacy and martial arts. This is teaching us skills. We can rely on We have the ability to survive for a long time. If we give us money and wait for others to help us, will others help us again? So I understand that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them how to fish. , and then I said it.”
Yu Haoyu continued: "What Master Shen asked me was, if one day the country is in trouble, what would I do?"
He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I said that if there were foreign enemies, I would definitely go into battle to kill them."
Yu Haotian said: "The teacher asked me how I would deal with myself if I became the richest man one day. I didn't expect that the teacher would not test my knowledge, so I didn't know how to answer this question. I thought about it. The question the teacher asked my elder brother and second brother just now was about my money. So I told the teacher that I could build a workshop in a poor place, teach them how to work, and then let them help me in the workshop. They can earn money and learn how to work, and I can also earn money. Hehe, why not do it. In addition, I can also donate food and clothes to the soldiers. Isn't it that food and grass must come first when fighting? Do we need sufficient food and grass?"
Yu Wan didn't say anything. She thought about the question asked by the teacher Shen thoughtfully.
At this time, Xiaoliu said: "The question the teacher asked me was very simple. He said that the brothers had a fight and asked me who I would help. I said whoever ignored me would beat me. How could we brothers fight?"
Feng Shi also understood it. It was originally a happy thing, but now she was worried.
Yu Wan also understood it. It turned out that the old man knew their identities.
It's just that these silly boys don't know.
Yu Wan could probably guess the old man's intention: First, to tell her clearly that Master Shen knew the identity of their family. Second, he might train the children in various aspects. After all, their identities will be exposed one day, and the children will have to serve those who need them. Third, although the old man is in this remote place, his heart is with the imperial court.
