"Jinshu, I heard that you are looking for a teacher recently?"
Yu Jinshu nodded: "That's right! Brother Cheng Huai, do you know any gentleman who would like to go to the manor?"
Xu Chenghuai patted his chest and said, "I can do it."
Yu Jinshu shook his head: "That won't do. You are going to take the imperial examination, you can't spend your time on children."
When I went to Zhuangzi to teach, my focus was on the children.
Xu Chenghuai said, "I can't do it alone, but I have a friend who is a poor scholar and is looking for a job as a teacher. He is a very good person. If you hire him, I will arrange time to go to the farm every month to teach the children a few times."
Why would he be willing to go to Zhuangzi to teach the children? It was all for Yu Jinshu.
Wei Youqing on the side remained silent, but he could see that Xu Chenghuai was looking for an opportunity to meet Yu Jinshu.
He was about to speak when he heard Yu Jinshu say, "Brother Cheng Huai, thank you so much! Where does your friend live? I'll go visit him in person."
Xu Chenghuai told the scholar where he lived and said he wanted to go there together.
Wei Youqing frowned slightly and said nothing.
From the perspective of Zhuangzi's children, this is a good thing.
Yu Jinshu told his sister-in-law that Wei Youqing would arrange for someone to inquire about his brother's situation in Mobei, and his sister-in-law Xu felt better.
After leaving Xu's house, Yu Jinshu, led by Xu Chenghuai, went to the scholar's house.
That day, Wei Youqing and Yu Jinshu were busy inviting teachers for the children in the village, and behind them, there was always a pair of eyes staring at them.
It’s Huang Ningxiang.
She was wearing a men's robe and a veil and followed them closely.
She even saw that Xu Chenghuai liked Yu Jinshu.
How could Yu Jinshu be so beautiful? She was filled with jealousy.
If it weren't for Yu Jinshu, she might have married the general.
She only regretted that she shouldn't have been so reserved in the beginning. She should have made things a done deal sooner, or even gotten pregnant. That way, the general would never be able to get rid of her.
But there is no medicine for regret in this world.
In Huang Ningxiang's heart, Yu Jinshu was a latecomer, the woman who interfered between her and the general.
At this moment, she already had an idea in her mind.
That day, Yu Jinshu met the scholar, whose surname was Fan, and she called him Mr. Fan.
Mr. Fan is a fallen aristocrat, similar to Yu Jinshu.
Now Mr. Fan doesn’t even have a house and relies entirely on Xu Chenghuai for support.
Mr. Fan was very happy to hear that he could go to Zhuangzi to teach children.
The next day, Wei Youqing and Yu Jinshu took Mr. Fan and Xu Chenghuai to the farm.
Mr. Fan settled down in the manor, and Yu Jinshu withdrew 500 taels of silver and gave it to him to buy desks and chairs, books, pens, ink, paper, and inkstone.
As for his food, Yu Jinshu also arranged for a farmer on the farm to take charge of it.
For several days in a row, Yu Jinshu went to the manor, always accompanied by Wei Youqing.
Early that morning, someone came to the military camp to report that a warehouse in the camp had been set on fire and it was suspected that it was a spy.
When Wei Youqing heard the news, he took the soldiers in the mansion to the military camp.
Yu Jinshu became a little anxious after hearing about this situation, so he decided not to go to the farm and waited for news at home.
An hour after Wei Youqing left, Cai Qing entered Yu Jinshu's room with a letter.
"Miss, someone outside has delivered a letter."
Yu Jinshu took the letter, opened it and saw that it was written by Xu Chenghuai.
Xu Chenghuai said that he had bought a box of books, which were in the small house where Mr. Fan lived on Gu Nan Street. He wanted her to go and take a look at them, and if they were suitable, he would send them to the farm for the children to read.
The small house where Mr. Fan lives belongs to Xu Chenghuai.
After reading it, Yu Jinshu brought the letter to his nose and sniffed it. The scent was a little familiar.
"Miss, the general is not at home today. Do you want to go?"
Yu Jinshu narrowed his eyes and stood up: "Of course I will go."
Half an hour later.
Gu Nan Street.
Yu Jinshu brought Cai Qing to the door of the small house where Fan Xiucai lived.
Cai Qing went to knock on the door, but found it was ajar, so she pushed it open.
"Caiqing, you just guard outside." Yu Jinshu walked over and brought Dahuang in.
Dahuang slipped in and hid.
Yu Jinshu walked to the middle of the yard and looked at the two side rooms on the left and right, both of which had their doors open.
"Brocade Book..."
It was Xu Chenghuai's voice.
Yu Jinshu followed the sound into a room and was greeted by a strange fragrance.
The windows in the room were tightly closed and the light was dim, but Xu Chenghuai could be seen lying on the bed, constantly calling out the word "Jinshu".
Yu Jinshu felt something strange in his body and immediately took out the detoxification pills he had prepared and swallowed them.
When Xu Chenghuai saw Yu Jinshu coming, he happily climbed down from the bed and hugged Yu Jinshu's legs.
"Jinshu, you're here. You and I are childhood sweethearts. I've liked you since we were young, did you know that?"
Yu Jinshu ignored Xu Chenghuai's nonsense. She squatted down and stuffed a pill into Xu Chenghuai's mouth.
The detoxification pills melt in your mouth and take effect very quickly.
Xu Chenghuai's mind shuddered and he woke up. Seeing that he was holding Yu Jinshu's legs, he was so scared that he quickly let go.
"Jinshu, did I just insult you?"
Yu Jinshu helped Xu Chenghuai up and said, "Brother Chenghuai, you didn't. You were just mesmerized by the fragrance in this room. What I gave you just now was an antidote that can cure all poisons. You are fine now."
Xu Chenghuai touched his forehead: "Just now I felt dizzy and my mind was confused..."
In fact, he did remember the hallucinations he had after being drugged, but he really couldn't say it out loud. His hallucinations were all about his childhood sweetheart, Jinshu.
Yu Jinshu said, "Brother Cheng Huai, let's go to the yard and talk."
Xu Chenghuai followed Yu Jinshu out.
Yu Jinshu called out to Da Huang, "Go see if there's anyone in the house?"
Da Huang went to each room and said, "Brother Cheng Huai, tell me, what happened?"
Xu Chenghuai looked towards the door and said, "Early this morning, a man came to my door carrying a load of books and asked if I wanted to buy any. I looked at the books in the man's load and they were all good, so I decided to buy some and send them to the farm."
He slapped his thigh and said, "I know, there's something wrong with those books."
At this time, a sound came from outside.
"General, you are here. The young lady is inside." It was Cai Qing.
As Wei Youqing stepped over the threshold, he saw Yu Jinshu and Xu Chenghuai standing opposite each other.
He was not angry, but walked up to Yu Jinshu with a worried look on his face: "Jinshu, are you okay?"
Yu Jinshu frowned and said, "Something almost happened." She looked at Xu Chenghuai.
Xu Chenghuai hurriedly saluted Wei Youqing.
Wei Youqing looked at Xu Chenghuai and saw that his face was a little red.
What he didn't know was that this red was the flush from being poisoned that hadn't completely faded away.
