Chapter 256 Tutor

Second update, please download pink txt.

**………****

Lian Man'er heard Zhang talking outside and said that Mr. Lu was coming, so she immediately put down the account book, got off the kang and put on her shoes to greet her.

There was a middle-aged man standing in the shop, of medium figure, fair and thin face, a short moustache under his jaw, and a squid of ochre satin. He was wearing a stone-blue embellishment on his arms, and was holding his fists to Zhang.

"Mr. Lu is here, please sit in the room." Lian Man'er hurriedly called Mr. Lu to the room, took the direct quilt from him and put it aside for a while, and took out the tea from a basket next to him. Zhang brought in the boiling water from the kitchen and was busy making the full text of tea for Mr. Lu.

"Sir, this is the best flower tea in our town. My brother just bought it yesterday. You can try it, can you see if it's okay to drink it?" Lian Man'er brought the teacup and put it on the small table in front of Mr. Lu.

At this time, tea is still a very expensive thing. The merchants generally do not have the habit of drinking tea. Even if they drink tea, they choose more cheap tea bricks. After breaking them, they can make a large pot of tea with a pinch. Of course, this kind of tea is not delicious.

Even Man'er's house doesn't drink tea, and this flower tea was specially bought for Mr. Lu in front of him.

"It's okay." Mr. Lu drank the tea and nodded, "It would be great to have such tea here. Man'er, don't always spend money on me. I have made up my mind to follow the customs."

Mr. Lu's words were just a few words of authentic official words.

Lian Man'er kept paying attention to Mr. Lu's expression, and when he saw that he was quite satisfied with the tea, he smiled.

"It's good if you like it. We can afford this kind of tea."

"Goro and Xiaoqi have not finished school yet?" Mr. Lu asked slowly while drinking tea.

"It should be back soon." Lian Man'er replied. "Sir, you can sit on the kang and have tea first. I'll get you some fruits to eat."

As Lian Man'er spoke, she took out a box, filled it with some fruits and snacks, including dates, white pears, walnut kernels, peanut kernels, etc., and placed it on the table in front of Mr. Lu. She also placed two volumes of books on the table, asking him to drink tea and read books, and wait for Wulang and Xiaoqi to come back from school.

After Mr. Lu was placed, Lian Man'er returned to her desk and continued to calculate today's entry and exit accounts.

They are all familiar. Lian Man'er can use both things attentively. While calculating the accounts, he secretly glanced at Mr. Lu, and saw that he was very comfortable reading and drinking tea, so he felt relieved.

Lian Man'er is very concerned about Mr. Lu, for a reason.

I met Mr. Lu. After Lian Man'er started to recruit laundry business, most of the people who came to wash were coarse cloth clothes, and at most they were just fine cloth. Cocoon silk was rare. So when the middle-aged man with a beard gave a piece of satin to wash, it attracted Lian Man'er's attention.

Of course, what Mr. Lu attracted Lian Man'er at that time was not only the direct embellishment he sent, but also the person he was.

He just stood there wearing the same coarse cloth clothes and said nothing. Mr. Lu was still the most eye-catching one. This is not to say how beautiful he looks, but his temperament makes him stand out.

Lian Man'er keenly guessed at that time that this was definitely not an ordinary laborer or craftsman, or even an accountant or a manager on the mountain. People with such temperament shouldn't have appeared here.

She didn't dare to hand the straight-up piece of satin to others to wash. The women in the village worked all year round. Their hands were very thick, and they would accidentally scrape out the precious satin. Lian Man'er handed the straight-up piece to Lian Zhier to wash, and told Lian Zhier to be careful.

Later, Lian Man'er washed the pulp and returned it to Mr. Lu in a flat and straight manner, and charged Mr. Lu four cents.

Mr. Lu paid the money very happily, turned around and brought all his silk clothes, asking Lian Man'er to wash and iron it according to the straight-up style, and immediately gave Lian Man'er a small piece of silver to set the deposit.

Lian Man'er and Lian Zhi'er made a small profit because of this, and Mr. Lu's words and actions made Lian Man'er even more curious.

So, when Lao Huang came to have dinner again, Lian Man'er asked him about who Mr. Lu was. Lao Huang did not hide it and told Lian Man'er everything he knew, including what he guessed. Lian Man'er didn't listen, and was really shocked when he heard it.

It turned out that Mr. Lu, whose real name was Lu Xiaoda and whose courtesy name was Yuanzhi, was originally a fifth-rank local official in this dynasty. Because of his upright personality, he offended people in the officialdom because of his straightforward personality and refused to be a part of the world. He was charged with crimes and took them to the capital and was tried in the Ministry of Justice. Finally, he was demoted. At that time, someone from the Shen family was entering Beijing and received an order to build a temple for Empress Shen on the mountain next to Xiao Shentun.

It is a coincidence that Empress Shen had planned to build a temple as early as when she was alive, and she asked someone to design and draw pictures. At that time, Mr. Lu was in Beijing and also participated in the design and drawing pictures. Someone mentioned this in front of the Shen family and pleaded for Mr. Lu.

The people from the Shen family found out clearly that Mr. Lu was famous and upright, and did not offend any extraordinary people. So he agreed to this matter and asked the emperor for the imperial edict, exempting Mr. Lu from being exiled, and allowing him to come here to build a temple for Empress Shen.

However, what Lian Man'er cares about is not that Mr. Lu was once a fifth-rank official, but what Lian Man'er cares about is that Mr. Lu was a Jinshi in the sixth year of Xihe.

Jinshi, even Man'er's eyes lit up at that time. They had never been a Jinshi in a radius of hundreds of miles, and the gentlemen who taught in private schools in the town only had the fame of scholars.

This is a golden phoenix suddenly fell from the sky. Although it was a down-and-out, it was a real golden phoenix. She doesn't care whether Mr. Lu is an official. What she cares about is that Mr. Lu has this real talent and has passed the Jinshi exam.

If Mr. Lu can be their teacher, will Goro and Xiaoqi have more hope on the road to the imperial examination? She doesn't have to wait every day for Goro and Xiaoqi to learn something in a private school before feeding her back.

The opportunity is rare, so Mr. Lu must be their tutor. This is the decision made by Lian Man'er after learning about Mr. Lu's life experience.

She told the family about this, and everyone, especially Goro, agreed with her decision.

Mr. Lu is not very responsible in the mountains, he is like a design consultant. The Shen family paid him quite generously. Mr. Lu is a clean person, but he is not good at cleaning himself. Since he found out that Lian Man'er's clothes were washed, he often sent them to wash them.

Lian Man'er took this opportunity to take a book and ask Mr. Lu for advice. A young girl from the countryside reads and writes, and even asks him for advice. Mr. Lu was also very surprised. After being surprised, Mr. Lu patiently explained the questions she raised to Lian Man'er.

After a few times, Lian Man'er discovered that Mr. Lu was very knowledgeable and could be said to be aware of astronomy and geography. A simple question, Mr. Lu was able to quote widely, and his explanation was both profound and vivid, which allowed Lian Man'er's vision to expand.

Then Lian Man'er consciously let Goro contact Mr. Lu, and Goro also benefited a lot, feeling that Mr. Lu's level was beyond the reach of the private school teacher.

After getting along these days, Lian Man'er found that Mr. Lu was upright and had no airs. After getting familiar with them, he got along better. After a little test, Lian Man'er felt that the temperature was almost the same. Next, Mr. Lu would not refuse to become a disciple.

She was examining Mr. Lu, and wasn't Mr. Lu also examining them? After all, even if Mr. Lu has knowledge and teaches students, if the students are stupid and have no understanding, then everything is empty, right?

While settled the score, Lian Man'er made up his mind to prepare more supper and make sure to make things happen today! He must encircle Mr. Jinshi Lu in the house!

After Lian Man'er made the day's accounts clear, Goro and Xiaoqi happened to come back from school.

Seeing Mr. Lu here, Goro and Xiaoqi were both happy and bowed to Mr. Lu respectfully and greeted him.

"What have you learned today?" Mr. Lu was very grateful to the respect of the two brothers, and asked with the book in his hand.

Goro and Xiaoqi answered one by one.

"Sir, I have questions to ask you for advice." Goro said.

"Okay, sit here and talk." Mr. Lu said gently.

Lian Man'er hurriedly collected all the accounts on the table and moved the table to Mr. Lu. The brother and sister listened to Mr. Lu's lecture together.

It was not until Mr. Zhang started to cook dinner that Mr. Lu came to an end. Wuro poured hot tea for Mr. Lu considerately, Lian Man'er came to the outer room and discussed with Mr. Zhang's addition of dishes to the evening.

"Brother, why don't we try to talk about getting a disciple to Mr. Lu later?" After Goro came out of the house to bring water, Lian Man'er discussed with Goro.

"That's good, I can't wait." Goro said happily.

To invite Mr. Lu as his teacher, the parents at home have to come forward to appear to be more serious.

Xiaoqi went to find Lian Shouxin back.

"Mr. Lu, in the eyes of our village households, you are the people in heaven. I have a heartless request." Lian Shuxin was a little nervous about the major events that concern the future of the children. Although Lian Man'er and Goro taught him some words in advance, such as "heartless request", it is the new word that Lian Shuxin had just learned. "... Please teach a few children... that is, fate, otherwise, we will not be able to invite you many shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of shreds of

Mr. Lu is different from those who are in the ordinary relationship between Lian Shuxin. Mr. Lu is a Jinshi and a leader among scholars. Because of his nervousness, even Shuxin spoke a little stuttering. In the end, he forgot what Lian Man'er and Wulang taught, but he said everything he said was real in his heart.

"Sir, be our teacher." Goro, Lian Man'er and Xiaoqi bowed to Mr. Lu.
