Fall In Love with the Technology Tree

Chapter 76: Weihai (Part 1)

Cao Yu is a real free-range child.

He has also reached the age to talk about marriage, but neither Hu nor Cao Song mentioned him. Even the eldest girl whose biological mother was a sinner was married off, and Cao Yu was still running youthful on the beach. A Sheng once mentioned A Yu's life events to Cao Song, but Cao Song meant to let A Sheng and Cao Cao take care of it.

"You were the ones who had to decide for him. Now Ayu is your responsibility. Don't use that child to attract your mother's eyes."

This is almost making things difficult. How do you get married without the orders of your parents and the words of a matchmaker?

You can only wait until the eldest brother is in his early stage, and Ayu, the younger brother, can get a wife—if he wants a wife with a decent background. It has to be said that Ah Sheng feels guilty for him.

With guilt, Ah Sheng raised his hand to touch the top of his younger brother's hair. Cao Yu didn't have a crown on her hair, so she could still touch the top of her hair. "Ayu is taller than me, and still looks good." He did not live up to the genetic union of Meiren's mother and Meiren's father.

Ayu smiled shyly.

Hua Min and Zheng Xuan did not know him. "Who is this handsome little man?"

"It's my younger brother, Cao Yu. Just call him Goro."

In this face-seeing era, Cao Yu is still very good at it. Zheng Xuan immediately praised: "It turned out to be the fifth son. The gentleman is like the wind, nothing is more like this."

Lu Bu turned his head and whispered, "Chicken."

Cao Yu pursed her lips and smiled.

A Sheng pretended not to see the little movements of the teenagers, and pulled Cao Yu to his car to sit, and the group walked towards Wubao against the sunset.

Cao Yu blinked: "Second brother, I..."

"Ayu's classwork, I have seen it. I won the first place in the final exam last year."

He immediately smiled and showed his little white teeth: "I passed the test myself. Cheating is not allowed in the school."

"Yeah. I know. Ayu works very hard." The old **** Asheng is there, "Ayu can work harder. You are the host now, and you should entertain guests."

Cao Yu sat down generously and introduced the Weihai manor to the newcomers.

The fort of the Cao family is located on a small hill, encircling most of the hill. The main house does not occupy much space, most of which are the granary, the school and the nursery.

"The reason why it was built at a high place is to prevent sea overflow. It is inconvenient for young children to move, so they are simply placed halfway up the mountain. In addition to the mansion and school, there are 70 vacant rooms and Three caves for tenants to take refuge in the event of a water disaster.”

Zheng Xuan nodded repeatedly: "Attentive and thoughtful."

Climbing up the hillside, you can gradually see into the distance. Farmland, sea, and islands at sea.

"It's a little dark now, so I can't see clearly. But that island, Weihai Island, is where our shipyard is located. The right side of the island is the port, and now there are two new ships berthed there."

Zheng Xuan squinted, trying to see Weihai Port clearly in the last red and purple sunlight. "At least there are hundreds of ships." He didn't know whether to be happy or worried, "Cao's family is big."

A Yu was stunned for a moment, so A Sheng quickly helped him with the next sentence: "It's all fishing boats from nearby fishermen, docked in the harbor of my house to avoid the wind and waves. It's just the two merchant ships that sell goods, It belongs to my family."

The port belongs to the Cao family. The fishermen who stop in the port are like the tenant farmers who depend on the Cao family. Zheng Xuan shook his head with a smile, without puncturing her. The Cao family is to Weihai, just like the Liu family is to Muping, it is not an exaggeration to say that it covers the sky with one hand. But the Cao family can make peace with the people, it is the family of etiquette.

After a day's journey, everyone is exhausted. After having dinner, taking a bath, and being smoked by the floor heating in the guest room, drowsiness surged to the top of my head. Even the cotton sheets, down quilts, floor heating and wall heating are amazing, but they have been diluted by the invasion of sleepiness. Before Zheng Xuan went to bed, the only thing he was concerned about was the lighthouse on the sea cliff in the distance.

The White Pagoda, the ever-bright light, shines brightly.

It is a man-made wonder that never sleeps.

The next morning, Zheng Xuan was woken up by Xiao Zheng Yi who lived in the same room. "Father, the maid just now has brought the water and towel for washing."

Zheng Xuan reluctantly lifted the duvet and put on socks for himself with his eyes closed.

"Father, you put your socks upside down."

Zheng Xuan was agitated, opened his eyes, and pretended to calmly take off his socks. "In addition to washing, do you have anything else to say?"

"Oh, when the bell rang three times, I had breakfast in the main hall of the main house." Xiao Zhengyi smacked his lips, "I don't know if there are sauce meat and sweet cakes from last night."

Zheng Xuan laughed and scolded: "Yan Hui can enjoy himself with a scoop of food and drink. I don't ask you to be like Yan Zi as a father, but how can you be too greedy for your appetite? Yesterday was us. When I first arrived, the banquet was naturally rich, but I think the Cao family is a family that pursues simplicity, and they don’t have a maid for dressing and washing, so how can they give you wine, meat, and honey every day?”

Xiao Zhengyi, who was criticized, respectfully brought the water basin to his father, but he still said: "Their family is very strange, the simple place is extremely simple, the luxurious place is extremely extravagant There are no patterns on the mattress, no carvings on the beams, and no maids in the living room. It is naturally simple. However, the ground is warm, the blanket is light to keep out the cold, the windows are covered with white paper, the citrus is fragrant, and it is comfortable and elegant, far better than others. How about eating, we have to look at it again, is it luxurious? Or is it simple? We can tell when we see it.”

Children of real Confucianism do not follow blindly and can insist on their own views.

Zheng Xuan also smiled, got up and got dressed: "Okay. Then we will find out when we see it."

Put on wooden sandals and step in the frosted courtyard to feel the coldness of the winter morning. Even with the furs prepared by the Cao family, Xiao Zhengyi sneezed twice. At this time, three bells rang, echoing over the dock, and spreading out towards the villages on all sides.

Zheng Xuan's students also wore furs and came out of the room in twos and threes. When they met Zheng Xuan, they stopped to salute. The shouts of "Master Zheng" and "Master Zheng" came one after another. In the end, it became a team headed by Zheng Xuan, and they headed for the direction of the bean fragrance floating on the mountain.

A Sheng and Cao Yu were already seated in the master's seat. Seeing that most of the people arrived, I ordered them to serve meals: soy milk, egg custard, corn porridge, and a small plate of pickled cucumbers.

"Please eat first, I have a few words to say after dinner."

Zheng Xuan looked around. The victims are gone, Lv Buhuamin is gone, and so are the medical apprentices and servants. In addition to the thirty guests who gathered here, there were only Qin Liu, Kong Mo, Yan Wen, and a few unfamiliar people dressed as stewards.

Unfortunately, they were all able to accompany them to the bottom seat. Doormen are not like doormen, and slaves are not like slaves.

Keepers.

Such an ancient word popped out of Zheng Xuan's mind. The mysterious sense of unease after entering Weihai was plucking at his heartstrings again. So, after putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Zheng Xuan was the first to ask: "Second Young Master, do you want to introduce these people to us?"

Asheng is indispensable. "Then let's introduce it first. First of all, this one is Tian Ma. He is the steward of our Weihai Mengxue."

A boy with a mediocre outlook stood up and greeted Zheng Xuan and his disciples.

"Oh?" Someone asked in surprise at the moment, "Isn't Weihai only homeless? Why, there is a Mongolian school?"

Tian Ma said, neither arrogant nor humble: "Weihai Mengxue has 2,122 students under the age of fourteen and over four years old, divided into three classes and thirty groups. There is one accountant, one school doctor, three teachers, seventy-six lecturers, and fifty handymen. In addition to teaching children, we also offer literacy classes for adults at night. All the tenant farmers, fishermen, The mountain people can't help it."

Someone immediately slapped the case: "Can Jiaohua achieve such a level?"

Zheng Xuan pondered for a moment: "There are only 70 or 80 lecturers in such a heavy teaching task, it is very hard."

Tian Ma's eyes lit up: "Zheng Gong is a famous person in the sea, if..."

"I asked Director Tian to set aside a lecture hall for Mr. Zheng in the east of the school. The environment is quiet, the lighting is good, and it is the farthest from the noisy children's house. It is a good place to study ." Ah Sheng interrupted him.

Zheng Xuan looked at Tian Ma, who was sullen, and Cao Sheng, who was inscrutable. He seemed to understand something. "Although my disciples haven't entered the room yet, several of them have already entered the classroom. Professor Meng Tong will not mislead the children. I don't prohibit people from learning to come to listen to my lectures."

The other side responded: "The mathematics textbook I wrote, let Zheng Gong read it. If there is any undecided, we will discuss it again."

Deal.

After talking about teaching, the rest is simple.

"This is Kong Mo, Mr. Kong, the chief steward of the Weihai Shipyard. He is extremely proficient in math, calculating the sky, calculating the speed of the ship, calculating the load, and calculating the high tide. There are omissions."

"This is Fang Feng, Fang Da doctor, and the supervisor of Weihai Women's Medical Hall."

"Dining and daily life are in charge of Sun Weng."

"Qin Liu, Yan Wen, all of you have seen it."

"And..." Ah Sheng's eyes stopped on the empty table.

Tian Ma turned to the side to plead guilty: "Zhao Qi said that he has a patrol, and he will come back to listen to the master's instructions after changing shifts at Chenshi."

"Hmph, I was absent last night. I was also absent this morning. What kind of big man is he?"

A Sheng glanced at the indignant young student and explained plainly: "Zhao Qi, the leader of the family, is in charge of rogue invasion, tenant disputes, and corruption." Then she looked at Qin Liu : "What are Zhao Qi's duty hours?"

"It is from Hai Shi last night to Mao Shi this morning."

A Sheng turned back and asked Luo Chi, "Have I ordered Zhao Qi to adjust his duty time to attend today's breakfast?"

Luo Chi had a standard smile: "Never."

"That's not his fault, it's my fault." She stood up and forcibly ended this part of the topic, "At three quarters of the hour, the bell rings three times. It's breakfast time in Weihai. , you can come here to eat with me, or go to the dining hall of the school. In addition, you are guests and are not bound by the family rules of the Cao family. However, some laws need to be reiterated again, such as the prohibition of murder, theft, etc., specific regulations It is posted on the notice board in the courtyard of the guest house, and you should remember to check it.

"Now, I will tour the manor. Those who are willing to move can go with me."
