On the second floor of Suxinzhai.
Yaoyao sat on a chair by the window, swinging her legs, looking at the street below, eating snacks with eyes curved.
Gu Fuju sat opposite her.
"Just now..."
He asked, "What were you thinking about on the way here?"
Yaoyao: "I was thinking, should I go to that beggar uncle to steal his business in the future!"
Gu Fuju paused as he poured the tea, and a little absurdity flashed in his eyes.
Uncle Yan: ???
Yaoyao finished another piece and wiped the corner of her mouth.
"Is this strange?"
She was very perverse.
"There is no high or low in the way of survival."
"No stealing or robbery, the money came from a clean source, there is nothing wrong with it."
The point is.
"And I like to get something for nothing."
Yaoyao thought for a while, she looked at Uncle Yan: "I prefer rich people like you!"
She hoped to meet someone who would give money so straightforwardly in the future.
Uncle Yan: ...
He...is guilty.
Gu Fuju: ...
Yaoyao held her face and sighed.
She wants to eat the best and use the best things. She is a money-eating beast and is not easy to feed.
Her father has to work so hard.
"I have to share the worries of the family."
Gu Fuju wanted to say something, but when he met the girl's smiling and moist eyes, he was afraid of scaring her.
He just said it calmly.
No matter how smart Yaoyao is, she is just a child, let alone in front of Gu Fuju.
"I don't often conflict with others. The last time was three days ago."
Yes, it was very far away.
"In the last school assessment, I got the last place."
She said righteously: "It's not because I was too sleepy and slept on the table, so I handed in a blank paper."
"I just feel sorry for the teacher. It's too tiring to mark the papers."
After saying that, she didn't understand.
"I am so considerate, but the teacher still scolds me."
She was melancholy: "It's so hard to be good to someone."
Uncle Yan: ...
It makes my scalp numb.
But the girl's words were sincere, as if... it was really not easy for her.
She continued to be framed.
"The man just now was Wang Zhousheng. His parents came to our house to propose marriage before."
"Why should we have less contact with him?"
Yaoyao: "I am so good, it is natural that a group of people are fighting for me, isn't it?"
When Wang Zhousheng was mentioned, Yaoyao thought of something, jumped off the chair and ran out of the private room, shouting to the first floor.
"Boss, do you have paper and pen?"
After she got the paper and pen, she sat back.
The girl pushed the snacks away and ground the ink.
But she didn't know how to grind it, and her movements were not proficient. In the past, she had Yu Niang at home and Master Sun outside, so she didn't have to do this kind of thing.
"I'll do it."
Gu Fuju lifted his robe and stretched out his hand.
Yaoyao doubted: "Can you do it?"
Gu Fuju said softly: "It should be good."
Yaoyao decided to give him a chance to show off: "Then grind it better for me. The ink is too thick, and the words written too light will not look good."
It must not be that she writes badly!
There are still many requirements.
Gu Fuju patiently agreed one by one: "Okay."
Yaoyao solemnly took out the article that Wang Zhousheng gave her.
Uncle Yan really didn't understand: "This is..."
"I want to copy it again, isn't it obvious?"
"The teacher can tell at a glance that this is not my handwriting. If I take it over tomorrow, it will be exposed."
Uncle Yan understood!
No wonder the girl didn't ask for the Thousand Characters just now.
But...
Uncle Yan really wanted to say, can't you write the article yourself?
Even if you can't write it, let the master tutor you.
How can you take such a shortcut?
But the words came to his lips.
Gu Fuju, the father, didn't say anything, and even helped to grind the ink to cheat!
I think he enjoyed the time spent with his daughter.
Uncle Yan looked at the straw paper in Yaoyao's hand, which was only enough to copy the article.
Uncle Yan said: "These straw papers are probably not enough. The girl still hasn't written the Thousand Characters. I will get some more."
Yaoyao: ???
She was shocked.
"Do you know what you are saying?"
Uncle Yan: ???
Yaoyao: "Why do I have to write the Thousand Characters Essay?"
"It's because the essay is short that I am willing to copy it."
"For a person like me, it's amazing if I can accomplish one thing."
"The teacher will praise me for my progress when he sees me."
Uncle Yan: ...
Looking at the girl, he thought of Wang Zhousheng who was just moved.
"Then you told that boy before that you were afraid he would suffer."
Yaoyao didn't pay attention to the honorific words.
"If I don't say that, what if he doesn't give it to me next time?"
Yaoyao said that she was helpless: "I always have to do whatever it takes to achieve my goal."
Uncle Yan: ...
Do whatever it takes to make Wang Zhousheng willing to be walked around like a dog by you?
Uncle Yan couldn't help but think deeply. If one day, the girl is older, as long as she is willing, she can say sweet words, and the future husband can be coaxed into being soft even if he is hard-hearted.
Gu Fuju was relieved.
He once worked in the Censorate and behaved in a very polite manner. He was also a scholar and couldn't stand the behavior of stealing what others had earned.
But the girl in front of him was Qingying.
Gu Fuju didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Girl, isn't it good to
be smart? Besides, it's a two-way street.
He ground the ink.
"Try it, okay?"
Yaoyao dipped a little with a brush, wrote a word crookedly, and couldn't help but praise.
"You ground it very well."
Yaoyao looked at the words and frowned: "It's just that the brush is not good enough."
Gu Fuju couldn't help laughing.
Yaoyao: "Are you a scholar?"
"Yes."
Yaoyao was very proud and told him: "My teacher is a juren! Isn't it amazing."
Gu Fuju smiled: "Yes."
He was really cooperative and responded to every sentence.
"It's a pity that Master's wife is not in good health, otherwise Master might want to take the exam again."
Yaoyao: "We have consulted all the doctors we can, and she has taken medicine after medicine. I think it tastes bitter, but Master's wife doesn't see much effect after taking it."
She became thinner and thinner day by day, and less energetic day by day. She didn't want to drag Master Sun down, and even had thoughts
of committing suicide. Yaoyao saw Master Sun crying weakly and secretly several times behind her back.
Once she was caught by Master Sun.
Master Sun was not as strict as usual in class, nor did he look embarrassed when seen by outsiders. He just covered his tears with his sleeves.
He was usually so resolute, but he was particularly fragile.
Maybe there was no one to talk to, he murmured.
——"She hasn't had a good life in the years since she married me. Why doesn't this thief God come to me? Why doesn't he let her go?"
——"Yaoyao."
——"If something really happens to your master's wife, how can I...live?"
Yaoyao felt uncomfortable thinking about this.
Master's wife was very good to her.
Gu Fuju said softly: "It's hard to find a good doctor in the remote and poor area of Ze County, and we have to rely on fate for medicine."
Yaoyao shook her head: "Master's wife is not in good health and it's inconvenient to travel a long distance, but the master has also gone to Jiangnan to invite doctors to see her. It's useless."
Gu Fuju analyzed it carefully for her.
"The best doctors in Jiangnan have many patients who come to seek medical treatment. Jiangnan is prosperous, so even if Master Sun raises a lot of medical fees everywhere, it's not enough in their eyes, and they won't come all the way here."
Doctors are kind-hearted, but how many of them can really do this?
The most difficult disease to cure in the world is poverty.
Gu Fuju: "Master Sun has a high reputation in Ze County, and everyone has to be respectful when they see him. But outside this place, in places where officials from Jiangnan and Shangjing are everywhere, he is not worth mentioning."
"If he were a royal relative, he wouldn't have to go out to invite a doctor. Every day, doctors from all over the world come to see your wife."
Yaoyao frowned.
It was the first time she heard such words, and she felt it made sense.
There are so many snobs.
Yaoyao drooped her eyebrows: "What should we do?"
Gu Fuju said softly: "Don't worry."
"I will ask someone to come."
"Your master's wife will be fine, I promise you."
