Qi Yongzheng and his wife were not very educated. I heard that Qi Jintang thought that the gentleman was very knowledgeable, so naturally he agreed wholeheartedly.
Hehua sent people to tidy up the east courtyard behind the garden, sealing the door leading to the garden, leaving only the courtyard door facing the corridor and the back door. The east wing cleaned up the husband's residence, and the downstairs of the west wing was removed. Next door, a large open study room was arranged, and several more sets of tables and chairs were specially arranged. Following the instructions, except for the two cousins who had to come to study on time every day, the rest of the boys who wanted to be literate could also come and listen when they were not on duty.
On the day when the husband entered the house, He Hua specially led the girl to the back to make the final sweeping arrangements. She wanted to stay and see what the new gentleman was like.
The furniture and furnishings in the room were almost wiped down. Ma Chao walked in quickly and said, "Grandma, Mr. Gu is here."
"Please come in and talk!" He Hua stood close to the Bisha cabinet, and Xiao Zhen deliberately stepped forward to hide in front of He Hua.
Unexpectedly, when they walked into the room, both parties were stunned for a moment. Xiaozhen raised his finger and pointed at Mr. Gu and said, "Aren't you the scholar who bumped into someone in the restaurant that day?"
Mr. Gu's fair face turned red, and he bowed quickly and said: "I have met Madam and several sisters. There were many collisions yesterday. I hope Madam and sisters will bear with me."
Hehua saw that he looked like a frail scholar. He was polite and well-dressed. He only carried a small bag in his hand and a bookcase on his back. It seemed that he didn't have much luggage.
"Sir, there's no need to be polite. Let's bring the girl to clean up. Since he's already here, we won't bother you. There's a night watchman named Uncle Chen and a boy named Si'er arranged in the courtyard. Normally, if you have anything to do, you just give instructions. Someone will be responsible for delivering three meals a day and midnight snacks in the kitchen, so you can stay here. As long as you educate the two children well, we will not treat you badly." Hehua said and led the girls away, leaving Ma Chao helped Mr. Gu pack the things in the book box.
Qi Peng and Qi Song didn't know whether Mr. Gu's worries in Chapter 390 were because they were used to it or if they really wanted to do something. They went to the study room every day to read and memorize with Mr. Gu. Apart from Ma Chao, only Si'er among the boys attended classes every day. Si'er actually learned more than Ma Chao because he worked in the teacher's courtyard.
Mr. Gu also seems to like the child Si'er very much. He takes him at his feet when he goes out and in. He usually adjusts his homework according to Si'er's progress, instead of just giving it to Qi Peng and Qi Song. Feel free to listen in.
Hehua asked Xiaozhen to go to the back and inquire several times. Sometimes when having dinner together, Hehua also asked Qi Peng and Qi Song about their progress. The feedback from both sides was that Mr. Gu taught them very well. Later, the mother-in-law in the kitchen praised Mr. Gu for being such a nice person. Every time After eating, he would clean the bowls and put them on the table in the outer room, and he was also very polite to them. Only then did Hehua feel completely relieved.
The weather is getting warmer day by day, and the charcoal cages in the house have stopped burning. The thick cotton door curtains have also been replaced with single-layer thin felt cloth. Although it is still a bit cold in spring, the girls in the yard are not very old. It’s the time to be pretty, and now everyone has put on their spring clothes early. They are wearing light gauze shirts and embroidered belts that outline their slim waists. When walking around in the yard, their skirts sway slightly, either in pink or pink. It is green with willows, and it really has a poetic and picturesque atmosphere of Jiangnan.
Whenever she had free time in the afternoon, Hehua always liked to lean against the beauty at the door of the room, watch the girls coming and going downstairs, and talk and laugh from time to time. It also adds a bit of lively color to the not too warm sunshine in spring.
On this day, Hehua and Miaoer were sitting across from each other. There were silk threads of various colors in the baskets. The two of them were arranging the threads and gesturing to match them. They planned to make some new threads for Qi Jintang. They vaguely watched Si'er poking his head downstairs. Looking up at something.
Lotus also looked down and scanned around, but there was not a single girl or woman underneath. They didn't know what they were busy with, so they asked Miao'er to go down and ask him what happened, but Mr. Gu was missing something in his room.
After a while, Si'er was led upstairs by Miao'er. He stepped forward to salute Hehua and then said timidly: "Grandma, Mr. Gu..."
"What's wrong, Mr. Gu? Don't worry and speak slowly." Seeing that he was nervous, Hehua asked in a softer voice.
"Mr. Gu seems to miss his family very much, but it's hard to ask grandma to go home. He's always been in a daze when he has nothing to do these days. I, I just want to..." Si'er was encouraged by Hehua's smile and spoke smoothly. It took a lot, but in the end I almost bit my tongue.
"Do you want Mr. Gu to go home for a visit?" Seeing Si'er nodding, He Hua turned to ask Miao'er, "When I talked about Shuxiu with Mr. Gu, did you tell me which days of the month you would have a rest?"
Miao'er thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be talking about the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. Mr. Gu entered the mansion at the end of the month. I will go home together on the fifteenth day of the month."
Hehua calculated that it was already the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, so he said to Si'er: "Go back and tell Mr. Gu that when we talked about Xiu Mu last time, we didn't take into account that Mr. Gu still had his mother and younger sister at home. If Mr. Gu is willing, you can The family is connected to the mansion to live together, so that it is convenient for the husband to take care of him."
When Si'er got the lotus, he saluted happily. When he went downstairs, he was still nervous and didn't dare to walk quickly. He turned around and ran back to the backyard from the alley. When he entered the door, he shouted: "Brother Gu, our grandma said Okay, last time I said I would give you two baths a month, I didn’t take your family’s situation into account. Now I’m asking you to bring your old mother and younger sister to live in the house. This will make it easier for you to take care of you and save you the trouble. Always thinking about home."
Mr. Gu did not show joy after hearing Si'er's words. Instead, he frowned slightly, reached out and touched Si'er's head and said, "I understand. I'll go ahead and talk to grandma about this." After finishing straightening his clothes, he walked through the alley to the main courtyard. He asked the woman at the door to go in and report, and then followed Xiao Zhen who came out to greet him through the corridor and into the house.
There was a gauze screen placed in front of the main seat in the room, and without letting him wait any longer, Hehua came out of the room, greeted Mr. Gu through the gauze screen, and asked first, "Sir, are you here for something?" Are the two younger brothers not studying hard or are the servants in the house not taking good care of them?"
"Replying to Madam, although the two young cousins are relatively late in enlightenment, they are both eager to learn and work very hard in their studies. Madam, please rest assured. The care in the house is very considerate, and Gu is ashamed. I heard from Si'er that Madam also wants to take care of my mother. I and my sister-in-law joined the mansion, and I would never dare to accept such a great favor." Mr. Gu never sat down, and after finishing his words, he bowed to the lotus and declined again.
"Mr. Gu, don't be anxious. My fourth son is young and doesn't know much about human nature. He may not be able to understand what I'm saying. Why don't you, sir, listen to what I say and see if you can accept it before making a decision?" He Hua seemed to understand. Mr. Gu was eager to refuse again and said first, "What I mean is that Aunt Gu is not in good health. It is really inconvenient to live alone with her young daughter outside. Not to mention how she has food, clothing and housing, just going out is already very inconvenient. . Now only the husband lives in the east courtyard at the back, and the house is empty. If the husband brings Aunt Gu and Miss Gu to live together, he will reopen the small kitchen in the east courtyard and you and your family will start a business alone. Go to the kitchen at home. If it is convenient to buy, I will give my husband some money every month. After all, the agreement is to take care of food and housing. If it is not convenient, let the kitchen shop buy it together. How much money should I pay every month? I don’t know. Are you satisfied with my arrangement like this?"
After hearing He Hua's detailed explanation, Mr. Gu's knot in his heart was smoothed away unconsciously. After thinking for a moment, he felt that He Hua's words were reasonable. It was really inconvenient for a widowed mother to lead her young daughter to live outside. Living in the East Courtyard It’s true that I can’t arrange for others. The opposite side of my bedroom is always empty. If I can start my own business in the backyard, I still have time to go out to buy vegetables and medicine, and my mother and sister can still cook. After getting up, he accepted He Hua's opinion from his heart, raised his hands and said to He Hua: "Madam has thought carefully about Xiaosheng, and I can't express my gratitude. I will do my best to teach you two young masters how to buy vegetables." We can all cook well ourselves, but we don’t dare to accept the food supplement money Madam said, as long as my mother and roommate can stay in your house, it will be enough to cover thousands of dollars."
"Since the husband insists, I can't persuade him any more. The husband will bring a few people home to help pack things, and bring all the food, clothing, and clothing here. If the house is rented, it will be returned. If the house is rented, it is fine. There is a subsidy." Hehua expressed concern for a few words, then stopped asking further questions and asked Si'er and the two rough servants behind him to follow Mr. Gu home to clean up. He sent people to clean up another room in the east courtyard. He also prepared firewood, oil, salt and various seasonings for the small kitchen, prepared a bag of rice and noodles, and put some fruits, vegetables and pickles. Seeing that everything was almost packed, he sent the servants away and told them to go to the East later. Everyone in the courtyard should be careful and just go to the west room to listen to the class. Don't run around and bump into people.
Since there were women living in the house, Si'er couldn't just keep busy, so he let Si'er only take care of the study and kitchen, and also assigned a 13-year-old rough girl to help in the back. Take care of Mrs. Gu and the girl from the Gu family.
Just after dinner, Mr. Gu brought his mother and younger sister into the house. He followed the rules and went to the main courtyard to meet Qi Jintang and He Hua. Mrs. Gu kept thanking her profusely. The girl from the Gu family was also delicate and delicate. He speaks well and seems to be literate, but he is small and thin, which makes people feel pity for him.
