The young man wearing a long gown and holding two volumes of books in his hands happened to be spotted by the mountain chief's wife. The mountain chief's wife smiled and greeted the young man: "Mr. Meng!"
Sheng Guoer followed the sound and saw a handsome young man walking up under the peach blossom tree. He was tall and tall, wearing a jade-like long gown. He had a heroic spirit all over his body, his face was like a peach and plum, and his sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes exuded an elegant temperament.
This person is none other than Meng Zhouxing.
"Mr. Meng, you came earlier than usual today," the mountain chief's wife said, "Is there something wrong?"
Meng Zhouxing returned the favor and said, "Madam, we have morning classes today. Come and help the students review their studies."
Meng Zhouxing's voice was very magnetic, but a little cold.
Sheng Guoer looked at Meng Zhouxing and felt that this person gave people a sense of distance, but Meng Zhouxing's burning gaze came up to him at this moment. Looking at those eyes as deep as the abyss, Sheng Guoer felt a little shy and couldn't help but His eyes averted for a moment.
Meng Zhouxing raised his hands to Sheng Guoer and said, "Are you Sheng Guoer? The woman who made the so-called steam engine?"
Sheng Guoer nodded and said, "Funny."
Meng Zhouxing saw that Sheng Guoer was elegant and generous, without any shyness like a farm girl, and felt that there was something unusual about Sheng Guoer.
"I just heard what Miss Sheng and your brother said, and I admire you very much. This is the first time I have seen such a courageous and courageous peasant girl."
Sheng Guoer rolled her eyes when she heard this and said, "Thank you, Mr. Meng, for the compliment. If you don't mind, please accept my brother as a day student!"
Day disciple? This is a new term. Meng Zhouxing asked curiously: "What does Miss Sheng mean? What is a day disciple?"
Sheng Guoer said: "My younger brother is studying in the Dizi Department, and the Di Zi Department diploma he deserves is absolutely indispensable. However, I can spend more money to let him sit in with the Tian Zi Department, and the Tian Zi Department does not need to give him a diploma."
This rule was unheard of, so the mountain chief’s wife said, “What’s going on?!”
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "The Dasheng Dynasty clearly stipulates that students of the three, six or nine grades should learn knowledge, but it does not stipulate that disciples of the Dizi subject cannot attend the Tianzi subject. As long as the private school does not issue my brother a diploma in the Tianzi subject, It doesn’t count as violating the court etiquette. The more money I pay, the more you will be able to cultivate, and my brother will also learn real skills.”
Killing three birds with one stone, when others heard Sheng Guoer's plan, they thought it was strange that they could think of such a method in such a short time.
Mrs. Shanchang's attitude towards Sheng Guo'er has changed a bit now, and she has some appreciation for her.
Meng Zhouxing felt that Sheng Guoer was really different from the women he had met. She had a flexible mind and exuded a sense of confidence.
"I just don't know if Mr. Meng agrees?" Sheng Guoer looked at Meng Zhouxing with her pretty eyes and asked.
Meng Zhouxing still had no expression on his face and said, "If Mrs. Shanchang doesn't object, I think this matter..."
Sheng Guoer suddenly said: "Thank you Mr. Meng!"
After she finished speaking, she tugged on Sheng Shi's clothes, and Sheng Shi hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Meng Zhouxing.
Meng Zhouxing was amused when he heard this: "I haven't promised you yet, and you have become my teacher."
The mountain chief’s wife was amused by Sheng Guoer’s behavior. At the same time, she liked Sheng Guoer’s wit and “cunning”, so she said, “Mr. Meng, in that case, it’s all your fault.”
Meng Zhouxing nodded and said: "Although you are not an official student of Tianzi Science, you must abide by all my rules, otherwise I will not forgive you even if the mountain chief begs for mercy."
Sheng Shi nodded and said, "I remember Mr. Meng."
Then, Sheng Guoer said to Meng Xingzhou, "There is one more thing I want to ask Mr. Meng."
Meng Xingzhou asked in confusion: "Excuse me."
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "I have heard that Mr. Meng is eight Dou tall and can identify where the iron ore is. I have a stone here. Do you think there is a vein of iron ore in my land? Where can I find it? "
Meng Xingzhou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then left angrily.
"Hey, Mr. Meng, Mr. Meng!" Sheng Guoer didn't know why her words offended him, but Song Silang gave her a step down.
"Mr. Meng has always been like this. He is very serious when he doesn't want to talk to you. Don't mind."
Song Silang had to say something for Meng Zhouxing because his boss was a friend of Meng Zhouxing.
Sheng Guoer smiled calmly: "Everyone with ability has personality. This is normal. I was too direct just now. I will slowly get in touch with him in the future."
After finishing speaking, Sheng Guoer looked at Meng Xingzhou's tall body leaving among the fallen leaves, and the shadow on the ground naturally formed a scenery.
After Meng Xingzhou left, Sheng Guoer immediately signed the contract, and then obtained some living information from other workers and private school teachers. The requirement of Hanlin Private School was that students should also live in the private school, so Sheng Guoer went to She bought clothes, bedding and some daily necessities for her younger brother on the street. After paying all the expenses, Sheng Guoer first went to Mr. Li's house to pick up Xiao Tao. Xiao Tao had good medical skills and was very talented, so Mr. Li made sure to Xiao Tao had a day off.
Then Sheng Guoer took his younger brother and younger sister to Niangxiangju, which they most wanted to visit, and had a good meal. Of course, Song Silang and Tieniu also benefited from it.
Tieniu looked at Sheng Shi with envy and said, "Sheng Shi, I really envy you for having a good sister!"
Sheng Guoer smiled at Tieniu and said, "Tieniu, if you like to study, my sister will discuss with your parents and send you here too, right?"
Tieniu's head was shaking like a rattle at this moment: "I don't like books as much as Sheng Shi. I like driving, whether it's a horse-drawn carriage or an ox-cart. What I look forward to most is to drive a chariot, charge into battle, and be a great hero!"
After finishing speaking, Tie Niu, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a strong body, stood up with great power and made a charging gesture.
Seeing Tieniu's funny look, Sheng Guo'er and the other three couldn't help laughing, but Sheng Guo'er said, "Okay, I'll take note of it. If I have a chance in the future, I'll send you to join the army!"
Tieniu was confused: "But they said that the imperial court recruits troops locally, and soldiers have to spend money to enter a better military camp."
Sheng Guoer thought to herself: "In this day and age, money really can bring magic." So Sheng Guoer said: "Tieniu, don't worry, my sister will work hard with everyone to make money and realize our ideals!"
Tieniu looked at Sheng Guoer gratefully and said, "If Tieniu becomes a general one day, sister, I will come back and marry you as the general's wife!"
Hahahaha, the childish words made Sheng Guoer and others laugh. Sheng Shi said: "Bragging, bragging!" Xiao Tao also shaved his face and said: "Don't be shy!"
Song Silang also joked: "Tieniu, I think you are crazy about your wife. How old are you! Besides, when you become a general, Guo'er may have three or four children!"
Tieniu glared at Song Silang: "It's none of your business!"
Song Silang smiled while apologizing: "Okay, okay, brother, you can do it, you must be able to do it, so it's settled, right?"
Sheng Guoer also smiled and said: "Tieniu, you work hard, sister Guoer will always be your sister."
Although it was a joke, the seed was planted in Tieniu's heart.
After dinner, Sheng Shi was going to live alone in a private school in the countryside. Sheng Guoer asked him to take care of Xiao Tao when he had nothing to do.
Sheng Shi nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister, I will go see her. You and your mother must pay attention to your health at home and don't be too tired."
Xiao Tao took out two sachets at this moment and said: "Sister, I am studying medicine and I am not allowed to come out at will. I need to study in seclusion. I made these two sachets myself. They contain medicinal materials, which can calm the mind and prevent and treat some diseases. You can take care of diseases and pest bites!"
Seeing the well-behaved appearance of her younger siblings, Sheng Guoer felt a little comforted. She knelt down, stroked the little heads of her younger siblings, and said, "You guys should be good and obedient. When you finish your studies, you will shine on the lintel of our family!"
Sheng Shi and Xiao Tao glanced at each other, then looked at Sheng Guo'er and said in unison: "Sister, I can do it!"
Sheng Guoer took out some more money and handed it to Sheng Shi and Xiao Tao, and said, "Just buy whatever you like to eat. Don't worry about the money. I'll come to see you every now and then. If you need anything, please let me know. Don’t delay your studies!”
Hearing these words, Sheng Shi and Xiao Tao shed tears.
My sister really takes good care of and nurtures me! This is the strong thought Sheng Shi and Xiao Tao have at the moment.
Before leaving, Guo'er told Sheng Shi earnestly: "Brother, you have always been honest, but you can listen to me at home, but you must be tough outside. We don't bully others, but others can't bully you either. Although you have a high status, There’s a huge disparity, but we have to live up to our expectations, don’t fight, and use our brains instead of force! Do you understand?”
Sheng nodded forcefully, and then Guoer nodded Xiao Tao's head and said: "Xiao Tao, you are smart but naughty. You have to study seriously. You know, you can't just rely on your own smartness to learn half-knowledge. You must know that you are studying medicine." Yes, if you don’t learn enough, it will cost you your life!”
Xiaotao nodded and said, "Sister, I remember."
After giving instructions to his younger brothers and sisters, Sheng Guoer reluctantly got into the carriage and went back.
"Sister!" Sheng Shi led Xiao Tao and ran behind the carriage. Sheng Guoer held back her tears and shouted: "Go back and study hard to study medicine!"
As the carriage went further and further away, Sheng Shi and Xiao Tao stopped panting. Sheng Shi stared at his sister who was leaving and shed tears like Xiao Tao.
The moment Sheng Guoer turned around in the carriage, she also shed tears.
After all, they had been together for so long, and their cleverness and cuteness deeply won Sheng Guoer's affection.
Only then did she realize that she had become deeply attached to her current home and family.
The carriage drove along the forest path, and the big trees on both sides of the road slowly walked behind Guo'er. The sun gradually set, and the only sounds on the road were the clatter of horse hooves, the occasional shouting of the iron bull, and the sound of the whip.
The carriage creaked and swayed as it walked. Sheng Guo'er looked at the withering leaves on both sides of the road and thought, it's time to experiment with the greenhouse, so that he can get the first batch of vegetables before harvesting. Then put some vegetable seeds and grain seeds into the greenhouse, so that you can eat fresh vegetables and fresh grains all year round!
After Sheng Guoer made up her mind, she suddenly remembered something else and said, "Tieniu, go to Xifeng Village. I want to buy some items such as cloth!"
