Chapter 351 Is this young master looking for a wife?

Qiao Ran looked intently, who could this person be if he wasn't Fatty Lin Haowei?

The fat man enthusiastically tried to pull Qiao Ran's sleeve, but she dodged him with a slight dodger.

He didn't take it seriously and pulled Qiao Sihai's sleeve behind Qiao Ran and led him forward.

"Come, look! Look! I specifically asked the dormitory supervisor to assign the two of us to the same dormitory. I also specially occupied a bunk next to mine for you. From now on, we can eat, live and sleep together. It’s time to study while playing with your classmates! Isn’t it fun?”

Qiao Ran saw that there were eight bunks in this dormitory, three of which were empty. She was about to walk towards one of the empty bunks when the fat man behind her had already pulled her fourth uncle to a seat by the window. and called her loudly:

"Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao, here! Here! The bunk I left for Brother Qiao is here! It's by the window, the light is good, it's good here, come here!"

After not seeing her for a day, did you change her name again?

Qiao Ran had no choice but to turn around and walk to the bed next to the window.

The dormitory here does not have a bathroom, wardrobe, desk, fan or air conditioning like the dormitory she used to have when she was in school.

This is an empty room with eight beds, and in order to save space, the eight beds are placed next to each other, just like a Datong bunk.

A box could be placed under the bed. Qiao Ran opened Fourth Uncle's box and took out the bedding and pillows inside.

Seeing this, Qiao Sihai quickly broke away from the fat man's hand and walked over quickly to start making the bed. He was embarrassed to ask his eldest niece to help him make the bed.

When Qiao Ran saw that her fourth uncle had made his own bed, he closed the box and stuffed it under the bed.

After placing a row of beds, there is not much space in the room, except for some free space under the window on the other side.

Fatty Lin pointed to the empty seat by the window and said proudly: "I have already asked people to build two sets of tables and chairs. They will be placed here when the time comes. Brother Qiao and I can review and practice calligraphy together here. "

Although he doesn't like studying, maybe under the influence of Brother Qiao, he will work hard!

My father has said that if he can become a Jinshi, he will be rewarded with five shops, and he will be able to manage his own accounts and have his own income in the future. Then do he have to worry about not having money to eat delicious food?

He decided that he would rely on Brother Qiao from now on and study with him. He would work hard so that he could eat delicious food freely in the future!

Qiao Ran saw two people making the beds in the dormitory. They looked like they were from very ordinary families, and they didn't bring any bookboys.

After hearing what Fatty Lin said, they just raised their heads and glanced up, then silently lowered their heads and continued to sort out.

In this world, class concepts are too deep.

Fatty Lin's dress looked like that of a young master from a wealthy family, which was different from them, so they kept silent because they thought it was better to do less than to do more.

Qiao Ran thought, fortunately, although this fat man came from a wealthy family, he was a pretty good person and did not have the bad habit of being unreasonable and looking down on the common people like those dudes from aristocratic families.

I think in the future, with my fourth uncle mediating in the middle, people in the dormitory should be able to live in peace.

After her fourth uncle was settled, Qiao Ran planned to leave. She also wanted to inquire about the master!

"Xiao Qiao, are you going back now? Don't go! Let's go shopping together later, buy some things, and eat some delicious food! I invite you this time. School has just started. My dad gave me With my allowance of ten taels this month, I can treat you to snacks sold on the street."

Seeing that Qiao Ran was leaving, Fatty quickly persuaded her to stay.

Qiao Ran waved her hand: "No, my fourth uncle and I just came here after breakfast. We are not hungry now. I have to do some things, so you can go shopping on your own!"

"Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao, what do you want to do? Tell me, maybe I can help!"

Fatty Lin had delicious food and a classmate who could live and eat with him. He was in a good mood and asked Qiao Ran enthusiastically if he needed help.

Qiao Ran paused as she walked out, thought for a moment, then turned around and asked:

"Mr. Lin, do you know if there is any scholar in the capital or in the suburbs who wants to be a master? Our village wants to hire a scholar to be a master in the village school and teach children how to read and write."

Fatty Lin thought for a while and shook his head: "Ah, this, I don't know about this, I've never heard of it!"

There are schools and academies everywhere in the capital, and there are also many private schools hired by wealthy families. The number of teachers is unmatched by any other place.

Therefore, there are many talents in the capital, and there are many people who have passed the examinations, let alone scholars.

The scholars in the capital are like the grasshoppers in the fields that summer, grabbing a handful at a time.

And from a family like Fatty Lin's, the people he associates with are usually young men from aristocratic families. Children from ordinary people's families simply don't dare to associate with children from aristocratic families, and they can't integrate into that circle.

Therefore, if you ask Fatty Lin if he has heard of any scholar looking for a job, he really doesn't know.

Qiao Ran was not surprised by the answer. She nodded, turned around and continued to walk out the door.

At this time, a somewhat embarrassed voice suddenly came from behind:

"Is this young master looking for a wife? I know where to find one."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Ran immediately turned around and looked at the source of the sound.

But he saw it was the scholar who was making the bed with his head down just now.

He also wore the same children's gown as Qiao Sihai, but he looked a few years older than Qiao Sihai.

Qiao Ran saw that his skin was dark and his fingers were rough. The bedding and pillows on the bed looked quite old and the materials were not good. He looked like a boy from a relatively poor peasant family.

She took a few steps forward and asked politely: "Yes, our village wants to recruit a scholar to be a master in the school to educate the children in the village. Can you tell me where I can find such a master?"

The scholar replied: "Of course. That person is my uncle, but his family is in the next door city of Luoyang. He was a scholar twelve years ago. Later, he failed the imperial examination many times, and his family had no money to support him in the imperial examination. , I gave up my mind and worked as a private tutor for a few years. However, when the children of that family grew up and went to school, my uncle could no longer find a suitable job. If you are willing to hire my uncle, I will repair it immediately. Feng, ask your uncle to come to the capital as soon as possible."

When Qiao Ran heard that the man was in Luoyang Fucheng, he hesitated:

"It's so far away, can your uncle be physically able to bear it? I have to see the talent first to decide whether to hire him or not. After all, I haven't met the person, so I don't know what his knowledge and character are like, and whether he can adapt to our environment, so I have to meet him before deciding. , can you understand this? So, if both parties or one party feels inappropriate after meeting, wouldn’t that make his trip in vain? "
