A scholar becomes a landlord

"what are you thinking about?"

Wei Le pushed him, and looked at himself in a daze.

"I was thinking that I should have let you bite me just now."

Yi Feng came back to his senses and said, there shouldn't be any traces on Xiao Le's body, except for the traces left by himself when he was doing something, other traces left on Xiao Le's body would make him blind.

"You're talking nonsense again, even if you stretch out your hand, I won't bite." Wei Le patted his hand lightly, he didn't want to get hurt himself, how could Wei Le want him to get hurt!Not even if you bite yourself.

"...you must bite next time."

Yi Feng insisted, the tooth marks on Xiao Le's mouth made him feel very uncomfortable, especially with blood stains on it, so he rubbed it with his lips.

"It hurts, you are talking stupid again, do you want me to twist it again next time?"

Wei Le couldn't laugh or cry, Brother Feng was so childish.

"No, there is no next time." Yi Feng reacted and said immediately, there will be no next time.Today he obviously stretched out his hand but failed to hold Xiao Le, which made him very annoyed, he should react faster.

"Stupid Brother Feng, this has nothing to do with you!" Seeing the self-blame in his eyes, Wei Le stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around him, and kissed his eyebrows and lips.

"In that case, you didn't expect Brother Xiang to pull me, did you?"

"Anyway, I will definitely hold you next time, and I will do what I say."

Yi Feng is very persistent, it is enough for such a thing to happen once, and he will not let it happen again.

"Okay, okay, next time I will reach out to you, so you must hold it!"

Wei Le didn't compete with him on this matter, no matter what, Yi Feng cared too much about himself.

"Ah."

Yi Feng laughed again, which fascinated Wei Le.

During dinner, Brother Xiang Tian accepted the accusations from everyone except Wei Le.

"I'm sorry." Brother Xiang Tian almost buried his head in the bowl.

"Everyone, don't be like this. Brother Xiang didn't do it on purpose. Brother Xiang, how is Brother Dayong? I have trouble walking now, so it's not easy to see him."

Wei Le shook his head at everyone and changed the subject.Of course he wasn't lying, it was really inconvenient for him, Yi Feng carried him to the dining room.

"The fever on his body has subsided, but he still needs to take medicine for a few days before he recovers. In the next few days, he will trouble Daxue and Xiaoxue, and prepare some lighter food for Dayong."

As expected, brother Xiang Tian was transferred and forgot what happened just now.

Everyone sighed, Master Zhijia's ability to change the subject is getting better and better.

Ruiqi read it and remembered it in his heart, so it turns out that there is skill in changing the subject.Like Mr. Wei, those who don't know him well can't detect that he is changing the subject. Even Brother Xiang Tian didn't realize it because he was asking about Cheng Yong.

"No trouble, Master Cheng needs to get well soon, and the next time the servants carry heavy things, someone will help them!" Daxue said with a smile. Once Cheng Yong saw her and Xue carrying a basket of vegetables, and when he saw that they were struggling to move, he directly helped them Moved to the kitchen, and left without even having time to say thank you after helping.

It can be said that Cheng Yong's popularity in Wei's family is good, mainly because he is warm-hearted, and although he doesn't talk much, he is very kind.

"This is no problem, as long as you tell me, I can help."

Brother Xiangtian patted his chest and said, Cheng Yong can't help, and he is the same.

"Okay, then I will trouble Master Xiang."

Xiaoxue smiled and said, although he was somewhat blamed for being reckless and hurting the young master, he really couldn't blame him for this matter, let him go now that he has learned his lesson!

"No trouble, no trouble."

Brother Xiang Tian shook his head.

How could it be troublesome? Compared with the trouble he caused, it was just helping to move some heavy things, so it was definitely not troublesome.

They have been living in the Wei residence for the past few days, Brother Xiang Tian has troubled the Wei family with many things, so he feels embarrassed!

"Okay, you don't feel nauseous, let's eat!" Wei Le knocked on the side of the bowl to remind them that the food was getting cold.

Fortunately, I picked up my grandfather before the Dragon Boat Festival, and sent him back to the Golden Buddha Temple before the festival, otherwise I would definitely be worried.

"Maybe Grandpa knows about it."

Yi Feng said suddenly.

"What?" Wei Le, who was lying on the bed reading a book, looked up, and they came back after eating. When they came back, Yi Feng mentioned the matter of grandpa, but now he said so.

"Do you still remember what grandpa told you when he left? Let you be careful, don't get hurt. "

When Yi Feng mentioned Wei Le, he immediately remembered that Grandpa's expression was quite serious at that time, so he didn't take it seriously.After all, what kind of injury did he get so well? Even watching the dragon boat was far away from the crowd, but now he is injured, and his ankle is still bare.

"My grandfather is really a man of God." This can also be counted, doesn't it mean that even a fortune teller can't count the things related to the people around him?

"Maybe it's because the matter is not too big, so grandpa can count it! He doesn't know where he will be injured, so he just reminded you that it's luck if you can avoid it, and fate if you can't avoid it." Yi Feng Analyzing it to Wei Le made him speechless.

"..."

That's why he hates fortune-telling, and his speech is always vague, but his grandfather is better, at least people can understand what he is talking about.

"By the way, that middle-aged woman on the mountain, you should find some time to go and have a look. Last time I went to pick up my grandfather, I bumped into it again."

Wei Le couldn't help but want to stroke her forehead. The crazy woman she bumped into last year didn't leave. She lives in Jinfo Town, and now she has to go up the mountain to see the host once a day.

The white lotus in the lotus pond has already bloomed. In order to avoid people who are not afraid of death jumping in to pick it, the host even sent someone to guard it, in case someone would send him to be bitten by turtles and goldfish.

"Okay, I will pay attention to it, and if I cause trouble for grandpa, I will also deal with it." Yi Feng agreed, Xiao Le is really not suitable for going out like this, so let's stay at home!

"Well, if it doesn't work, I'll throw it to Xiaosan. Since no one else can control that crazy woman, let her husband's family manage it!"

They all said that there was no fate, and they kept insisting, his wife even spoke up, so how could she have the face to speak up?I don't know where I found out that he picked the two lotus flowers last year, but he actually knelt down and begged for the white lotus.

"it is good."

Yi Feng readily agreed.

Everyone drank a little realgar wine at night, Wei Le soon fell asleep and came up, yawned and was stuffed under the quilt by Yi Feng, and soon started snoring.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, it became very hot, Wei Le and his group moved to the villa again.Cheng Yong's illness is also healed, only Wei Le is still not able to walk, and it is said that he has been injured for [-] days, even if he does not have [-] days, it will take a month to return to normal walking.

The constant chirping of cicadas on the trees outside, the most disturbing thing in summer is these cicadas.

Wei Le practiced calligraphy in the study and meditated, otherwise he would be annoyed to death hearing these cicadas.

"Dong dong."

knocking.

"Little San?"

How come this time?The sun is so strong outside, why not rest in the room?

Today Yi Feng was sent by him to see that his grandfather was not at home, and he couldn't sleep because of the cicada noise, so he simply came to the study to practice calligraphy.

"Sir, Ruiqi received a letter from his father, he asked Ruiqi to return to Beijing immediately."

Ruiqi still holds a letter in his hand!

"Okay, I see. Say hello to your father for me, tell him that I will go to Beijing next year, and ask him to prepare all the money he owes me."

Wei Le was taken aback for a moment, but soon realized that Rui Qi had lived in his house for a year?

"Yes, Ruiqi will definitely bring the master's words to father." Ruiqi raised a beautiful smile on the corner of his mouth, the emperor and empress are both good-looking people, so it's not bad to be their sons.

No wonder Ruiqi once said that he was the dream lover of many girls in Beijing, and he really has the capital.

But they are about to be disappointed now, because Ruiqi has a very good relationship with his concubine now. Although he hasn't seen him for a year, they seem to be in love. In the future, he will forget about concubines and concubines.

"Take this away! This is a gift from me."

Sitting in the cabinet, Wei Le took out a box and handed it to him, Ruiqi took it with both hands.

"Thank you sir."

Ruiqi didn't expect Mr. Wei to have a gift for himself.

"Ha, get out, don't disturb me practicing calligraphy."

When it was over, Wei Le waved his hand, and Ruiqi just rolled away.When I came, I didn't return the first few sets of clothes, but when I left, I was in a carriage, and I loaded two carts with luggage and gifts alone.

On the way, he opened the box Wei Le gave him, and it turned out to be a string of rosewood beads.

"This is a prayer bead that I asked my grandfather to consecrate specially. I wish you a safe life, good health, and a happy family. This is the only thing my husband can bless you. Don't feel poor! If you don't like it, return it to me. I don't want to give it to you yet." Woolen cloth!"

There is also a note in the box with these words written on it.

After watching Ruiqi smiled, he put the prayer beads on his left hand.

Grandpa is an eminent monk, how can he dislike the prayer beads consecrated by him!Not to mention shabby, it's the best gift ever.

Although it was only one year, Rui Qi had developed feelings for the Wei family, and maybe one day this feeling will fade away, but he will always remember the days at the Wei family, which may be the best and most ordinary memory in his life.

After seeing Ruiqi and the other three away, and Yi Feng was not at home, Wei Le felt that his villa was a little too big.

Every day with nothing to do, he enjoys flowers and butterflies in the villa, and teaches students by the way.Especially Li Zi, the progress of chess, painting and piano is obvious!He felt as if he was being compared by the students, but he put it aside within a quarter of an hour of being sad.

Just when he felt bored to the extreme, two families suddenly came outside the villa. They were big families in the county town. Because it was very hot in the city, they wanted to escape to the countryside.But they were tired of staying in their own village, so they asked people to ask if there was any good place to go nearby, and they found out about Wei's summer resort.

"Hey, it's been built for more than a year, and it's finally about to open."

Wei Le asked Steward Jin to make arrangements, and they could pick the built yards at will, there were both left and right sides, large and small ones.

The two families were very satisfied after seeing it. Of course, the most satisfying thing is that each yard has its own kitchen.The two families chose three connected yards.

The two of them have a large population and cannot fit in one courtyard.

Wei Le didn't care, anyway, they paid the rent according to the three yards, the big one was 20 taels a month, and the small one was 15 taels.Two big ones and one small one means 55 taels of silver a month, and both families paid two months' rent.

All of a sudden, 220 taels of silver were in hand, and Wei Le laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.

Don't blame him for asking for expensive ones, they might not be happy if they are cheaper!Besides, his environment is also very good, living here does not even need to put ice, how comfortable it is!

Of course, they have to be responsible for other expenses except the rent. It is fine if the villa is responsible, but they cannot choose the daily vegetables and meat by themselves. The two families are not willing to do this, so they arrange the villa to take care of it.

Someone moved in the next day after paying the rent. It seemed that the heat was really unbearable, and they moved immediately after having such a good place.As soon as they entered the villa, all the masters, big and small, let out a sigh of satisfaction.

"Mom, it's so cool!"

A little girl took her mother's hand and said.

"Yeah, does our Yueyue like it here? We're going to stay here for two months!"

The little girl's mother scratched her daughter and nose, thinking that this time the housekeeper finally found a good place for her family.That’s right, the purpose of summer vacation is to come to these places with beautiful mountains and green waters. Although it used to be a village in the countryside, it turned out that there were no taller trees around except for some small trees. The whole village didn’t even have a place to hide from the sun. No wonder it's not hot.

"I like it, can't I stay forever?"

The little girl is not going to leave.

"..." Daughter, how should mother answer you, this is not our house, but a rented yard?

Wei Le took a group of rambunctious children for extra-curricular teaching. The rest of the children were young and learned what they should learn. Apart from strengthening, Wei Le planned to teach them something else. Don't be trapped in the school all the time. There is always something useful to be learned by looking at it.

"Sir, why do you keep calling these cicadas?"

A group of students under the leadership of Wei Le are studying cicadas today.

"Cicadas are for courtship and to attract the opposite sex. Just like you want to marry wives and have children when you grow up, they also need it!"

Wei Le took the Cicada from a child and told them the story of Cicada.

"They are so pitiful, they only have a lifespan of about two months at most."

A student looked at the cicada in his hand and said, putting it back on the tree.

"This is a law of nature. Just like us humans, we all have a fixed lifespan. Humans can only live up to about 120 years old. The same is true for cicadas."

Wei Le also put the cicada in his hand back on the tree, and at the same time told them that cicadas can be used as medicine.And I also told everyone where there are the most cicadas. If they can pick them up and save them when they have nothing to do, maybe they can go to the pharmacy for some copper coins to buy candy.

"Okay~~"

Everyone clapped their hands and decided to look for it when they went back. Anyway, there are many trees around the village, and everyone can always find a catty if they look for it together. Then everyone can eat candy.

One person's strength is small, what about all the children added up?

Wei Le chuckled, and told them that if he really picked up a catty, he would send someone to the pharmacy to sell it for them, so that the other party would not slaughter them just because they were children.

"Thank you, sir."

The children answered in unison.

"Mom, that gentleman is amazing, and the stories he tells are so interesting." The little girl's family happened to bump into Wei Le and the others, and they also heard the conversation he had with the children just now.

The little girl's voice caught Wei Le's attention, and they all looked this way.

Because there are female relatives, Wei Le didn't come over, but just took the children from a distance and smiled at them, and quickly left with everyone.

"Husband, I didn't expect there to be such a well-educated person here. I wonder if we can invite him to be our child's husband." The little girl's mother tugged at her husband's sleeve. She was also from a wealthy family. Knowledge is still there.

"Impossible. I have asked about this gentleman. He only teaches children in this village, and no one in other villages. Also, he is the owner of this villa. Do you think he would Do you want to be a teacher?"

Her husband refused without even thinking about it. How could he not even inquire about the identity of the other party when he came to the other man's mountain resort for summer vacation? Besides, the other party is a celebrity nearby and has a certain reputation in their county. Please invite such a person as a teacher Xi, anyway, he couldn't speak, and he was afraid of being scolded by his father.

"Really not?"

The little girl's mother is so sorry, if it's such a gentleman, my boy will definitely not say anything that he can't understand what the husband said.

"No, it's not. You'd better be honest! Don't make your father angry. I'll discuss it with my father later, and see if we can arrange for our children to go to class in these two months. I hope I won't be rejected."

Although it has not been circulated outside, they still know a little about their level. Several scholars in the county asked Mr. Wei for books and went home to teach their children. I heard that they have made great progress.Now it is secretly rumored that Wei Xiucai has a set of books to teach people, but unfortunately not everyone is qualified to ask for that set of books, so I followed the idea of ​​those few scholars.

Now several families in the county have broken their heads and are fighting secretly, forcing those scholars to hand over their books by the way.Their family is also one of them, but now that they are here, of course they have to get closer, don't they?

But how to do this, he had to discuss it with his father.But unfortunately, he will be disappointed.

Wei Le didn't know that he was being tricked by someone, and he was leading the students to catch fish in the creek.

The fish raised in this deep mountain stream are not big, but the taste is really delicious, and it is perfect for making soup.

"Here, you use mud to block it, that's the same, don't let the fish run out of this small pond."

Wei Le instructed the students to block the two sides, so that the fish would be locked in by them, and they could catch them however they wanted, and they couldn't escape.

"Sir, I've got the bucket."

A student ran back to the village to get a bucket.

"Okay, what are you waiting for?" All the buckets were brought.

With one order, everyone went into the water to catch fish.

Wei Le also went down, but unfortunately his fish catching skills were not as good as those of the children.Although his ability to catch fish is not bad, children are more flexible, and they often catch this kind of small fish that is less than three fingers wide, Wei Le is a little worse in this aspect.

But it's okay, even if he can't catch the students, he won't laugh at him.

When the fish in this pond were almost caught, leaving only a few small fish the size of a finger, everyone changed to another place to continue catching.As a result, all the children stayed for dinner at noon that day. A bowl of snow-white fish soup and crispy fried fish made them smile like the sun.

"One more bowl." The children handed the empty bowls to Xiaoxue one after another.

"Alright, alright, there are many more! Don't worry, everyone, be careful of the fishbone!"

Xiaoxue served fish soup for the children and Wei Le, looking at the child king sitting among a group of children, the two girls couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at? This means that I am welcome, young master." Wei Le drank three bowls in one go, and passed the empty bowl over.

"Master, if you drink any more, you won't be able to eat anymore."

Daxue refused to serve him soup again.

"Okay! I'll eat." Wei Le shrugged indifferently, and then greeted the children to eat.

Because there are too many children and it is not easy to sit at the table, everyone simply holds a big bowl, and after filling the meal, they see their favorite dishes and ask Xiaoxue to beat them.

But everyone chose green vegetables in a tacit understanding, because they know that vegetables with meat are very expensive, and eating at Mr.'s house can't add to his burden.

Wei Le made a look, and Xiaoxue gave each of them a large spoonful of meat while cooking vegetables, and the meat was all lean meat.Originally, I wanted to add some fat meat, but the young master said that these children don’t see much meat in their families all year round. If they eat too much meat at one time, they will feel uncomfortable in their stomachs, so they fried lean meat with vegetable oil.

For the kids, they were all delicious meat, both fat and lean, and there was even a drumstick leg per person.

"Thank you sir." The children said to Wei Le before eating, making him roll his eyes with a smile.

"Eat quickly, don't you know that eating without talking, sleeping without talking?"

Wei Le, who was a little shy, roared, and a group of children laughed.Holding the big bowl, he ate it with big mouthfuls.

Looking at them, Wei Le's eyes turned red quietly, and so did Da Xue.These children live in farmhouses and cannot eat meat a few times a year. There are even scars left by frostbite on the backs of their hands. Although their hands are clean, they are dark and thin, and they are even more unbearable to look at against the backdrop of a large snow-white bowl.

Even in the future, there are still many children in mountainous areas who cannot eat meat, let alone ancient times.Wei Le wants to help them, but he is afraid that his help will only make these children develop dependence, it is better to teach them to be self-reliant.However, he also has a plan. When he raises some more money, he will repair the road from the village to the county seat. This way, not to mention the convenience of going back and forth between the county seat and the village, the time will also be shortened.Didn't you say that if you want to get rich, build roads first?

The vegetables grown by the villagers in the village are very good. If they are sent to the county town to sell, they can be exchanged for a good price. Regardless of how rich the family is, at least let them eat meat twice a month. No more counting slices of meat.

"Eat slowly, don't worry!" Xiaoxue added a spoon to see who was out of food in their bowls. Children in rural areas eat a lot, and the rice is steamed enough to be served.

Wei Le sat and ate with them in the classroom just to make them feel relaxed.Seeing that Mr. eats like this, what is there to be shy about?

He just quietly wiped his tears while eating, and looked at the smiling faces of the children. He felt that occasionally, he should cook a small stove for them. Not to mention anything else, it should be no problem to keep the children down for a meal like today.

In the past, sugar water was served when it was hot, and ginger soup or bone soup was served when it was cold. This was the first time that everyone was left to eat.He is still too selfish, afraid of being entangled by people in Li Village, so he always kept a certain distance from these students before.But it won't happen now, but he still needs to grasp this speed.

You must know that in this world, too much is too much, if he doesn't grasp this degree well, he will harm these children.It's just how to do it, what kind of reasonable reason should I find so that these people will not misunderstand that I sympathize with them?This really needs to be thought about.
