Chapter 69 Inexplicable thirst Sure enough, Li Zheng came to the door.
Fu Ciyi led Li Zheng to the main room.
After being reminded by Yan Funing just now, Wan Niang reacted and let Fu Nanyao support her and went to the main room.
Yan Funing's abdominal pain was relieved, so she went together.
Li Zheng said embarrassedly: "Master, some people don't want their children to study, saying that they will lose a lot of labor."
Fu Ciyi said softly: "Children aged nine or ten were only introduced to literacy last year and are already very late in their studies. If they don't go to the village school when school starts, they will probably give up their studies completely."
Yan Funing asked: "How many people are willing to go to school now?"
Li Zheng sighed: "It's only half of last year. It's mainly the Hu family who is making trouble. They want to believe the Hu family, but they don't want to believe you. After all, you moved back not long ago."
As soon as the Hu family mentioned it, almost every household was talking about Fu Waanniang and her family.
The same is true for several nearby villages.
Li Zheng explained the situation in detail again.
Yan Funing cursed, the Hu family was so quick to gossip. They just came to ask Fu Ciyi to be their wife yesterday, and today some people are avoiding Bei Mo.
No wonder they didn't know.
Mainly because they barely went out.
If Bei Mo didn't go out to play, he probably wouldn't know until Li Zheng came.
Although the time before and after is not much different.
After explaining the situation, Li Zheng asked what he had thought about several times in his mind: "Master, are you still willing to teach in this situation?"
Fu Ciyi said: "Go."
When Li Zheng came, he had been afraid that changes in the situation would make him reluctant to go. Now that he said he was willing, he happily said: "That's great!"
"It's just..." Soon, the topic changed, "It's just that there are fewer students now, so the tuition fee has to be reduced. The number of students is half the original, and the tuition fee can only be reduced by half."
This is where it gets even more difficult.
Fu Nanyao interrupted: "What should we do?"
Yan Funing said to Fu Ciyi, "Why don't you go?"
It's the same job but half the salary.
He could earn two and a half taels of silver by copying five books.
Nowadays, people don’t want to go to school, so it’s better not to teach.
Save your time for preparing for the imperial examination, even better!
Fu Ciyi was indifferent for a moment. Most people in the village who save money only spend two or three taels of silver throughout the year.
But for him, spending two and a half taels of silver to become a master was really not worth his time.
But he agreed first, so he asked Li Zheng: "Is there any way to make all the school children return to the village school smoothly?"
Li Zheng was also in a dilemma: "Let the Hu family explain, they will definitely not want to."
"They wish my brother would lose the opportunity to become a wife." Fu Nan said angrily, "How can such a scoundrel slap his own face when he commits evil first?"
Yan Funing thought for a moment and asked Li Zheng, "Is there anyone in the village who is planning a happy event?"
The New Year is over, so there is no need to write the Chinese New Year couplet with the character "Fu" in it.
But people who want to hold a happy event need a red happy character.
Li Zheng nodded hurriedly: "Yes, there really is. The nearest one is at the end of the first year. In the next few months, there will also be several families who are going to hold weddings."
Wan Niang asked: "Funing, what do you mean?"
Yan Funing pressed her lower abdomen, which started to hurt again, and said with a smile: "My husband's calligraphy is very beautiful. I go to the village to set up a stall, write double happiness, and also write wedding couplets. It costs a lot of money to hire someone to write these. Now. You can write it for free, I think someone will come. In this way, on the one hand, the villagers can get benefits, and on the other hand, everyone can know that my husband has beautiful handwriting and is qualified for the position of husband."
Fu Ciyi saw her subtle movements and guessed that she probably had abdominal pain again.
His big hands were placed under the table, opened and then clenched, but he didn't dare to help her rub them.
Will he be regarded as a traitor?
At this time, Li Zheng patted the table happily: "After all, my wife is really smart! You need to use a big brush to write double happiness. Do you have one here?"
Fu Ciyi shook his head.
Li Zheng stood up: "Then I will go to the village school to get ink and brushes. I will set up the stall in half an hour. Master, please move by then!"
"Okay, thank you."
Fu Ciyi raised his hand and sent Li Zheng out.
Yan Funing returned to the room immediately, and Tang Pozi was already cold to the he was about to take off the cotton cover so that he could refill it with water, Fu Ciyi snatched it away.
"Just stay here, I'll fill it in."
The water in the kitchen needs to be heated up again, and when poured into the soup potion, it will be even hotter.
Yan Funing did not refuse and thanked her softly: "Thank you very much!"
It wasn't that she spoke in a soft voice on purpose, it was actually because she was suffering from abdominal pain at the moment.
Fu Ciyi squeezed Mrs. Tang's hand tightly.
Sometimes, he really couldn't listen to her.
It made him feel inexplicably depressed for no reason.
Yan Funing sat on the edge of the bed, leaning against the headboard, covering her stomach with the corner of the quilt, closing her eyes and resting.
After a cup of tea, Fu Ciyi came back.
Seeing that her eyes were closed and her breathing was shallow, I thought she was he leaned over and gently lifted the corner of the quilt from her belly, trying to put Yu Pozi on it.
Unexpectedly, she suddenly opened her eyes and patted the back of his hand with her little hand.
The two hands were folded together, and her hand was covering the back of his hand, soft and lingering.
By comparison, it became increasingly apparent that her hands were small and his hands were large.
It was so big that she could easily hold it in the palm of your hand.
Both were startled.
Their eyes faced each other, and the distance between their faces was only half a foot.
Each other's breaths seemed to be intertwined, and Yan Funing was so shocked that she immediately retracted her hand.
His hands are so hot.
Fu Ciyi's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he calmly looked away, placing Tang Pozi on her belly, trying not to touch her dress with his fingertips.
"You take a break."
Without saying a word, he strode out of the house and went to the main room.
He grabbed the water he just poured and drank it in one gulp.
However, my throat is still dry.
So he poured several cups in succession to quench his thirst. - When Li Zheng agreed, Fu Ciyi said something to Yan Funing.
Yan Funing offered to follow.
"You..." He looked at her and meant something.
Yan Funing pursed her lips and said, "It's much better now. I want to watch you write big characters."
Seeing that she was so eager to learn, Fu Ciyi nodded and agreed: "If you feel unwell, come back as soon as possible."
"Well, I know."
When the couple arrived at the big tree in the village, they had already ordered someone to set up the stall.
Seeing Fu Ciyi coming over, Li Zheng shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone, please allow me to introduce you. This person next to me is my new wife. The only scholar in our village will participate in the Qiuwei Festival this year." .”
Someone asked: "Li Zheng, what is Qiu Wei?"
"Qiu Wei..." Li Zheng paused and said, "Those who pass Qiu Wei are the candidates who can go to Beijing to take the exam and have the opportunity to meet the emperor."
After hearing this, many villagers gathered around.
Someone else asked: "What's the purpose of setting up a stall here?"
Li Zhengdao: "Master is kind-hearted. I heard that many families in our village are going to hold weddings recently. He can help write double happiness."
Someone whispered: "I heard that Fu Wanniang's two sons are a bit stupid. Is this human-looking one in front of me really a scholar?"
"I guess so. I just don't know how the handwriting is. It would be very distressing if our red paper got damaged."
For a while, no one came forward to ask Fu Ciyi to write.
