"Boss, Zhiruo's school is too far away. Do you want to hire a carriage for her? It's not safe for a child to walk such a long way to school." Luo Fanchen kindly reminded Liu Hudao after listening to the report from the Qingyiwei.
Liu Hu also knew this truth, nodded, and said to Luo Fanchen: "Get me a carriage and hire some children."
After hearing what was said in Luo Fanchen's ear, Luo Fanchen immediately understood, and got up to hire a carriage.
After a while, Luo Fanchen found a carriage. The carriage looked very ordinary, so ordinary that Liu Hu could tell at a glance that this carriage was used to pick up guests on weekdays.
"Let's go." After Liu Hu finished speaking, Luo Fanchen drove the carriage to where Lan Xin and her daughter were.
Because the previous teacher was treated so badly by Luo Fanchen and Xuemei and has now left the village, the village chief almost ran his legs off because of this incident, but couldn't find someone willing to come to the village to teach.
It was not until later that a teacher named Cui came and the village chief felt relieved that the students in the village could finally go to school.
In such a remote place, learning is not as simple as taking an online class. You must find a good teacher and study hard to have a chance to stand out.
A letter of recommendation from a good teacher is more useful than ten years of self-study. After all, there was no imperial examination system in that era, and one could only become an official through recommendation.
Luo Fanchen hesitated for a moment, then continued, "This teacher surnamed Cui seems to be from Huaying."
Ever since Hua Ying took charge of those industries, many things had been out of Liu Hu's control, and it was not as easy for the Qingyi Guards to investigate as before, so he didn't dare to guarantee that it was Hua Ying's people, it was just a guess.
Liu Hu narrowed his eyes. He could tolerate Hua Ying taking charge of the money shop, and he could also tolerate Hua Ying managing the industries under his control in his own way. However, Liu Hu would never tolerate Hua Ying taking charge of helping Lan Xin and her daughter without authorization.
Once discovered by the mother and daughter, all my previous efforts would be in vain.
"What's going on?" Liu Hu asked in a deep voice.
Luo Fanchen did not dare to hide anything and told the truth: "This teacher surnamed Cui used to be the shopkeeper in charge of the four treasures of the study. For some reason, Huaying brought him here to be a teacher. Moreover, the tuition fee charged by this teacher surnamed Cui is very low."
Liu Hu immediately understood Hua Ying's meaning. Instead of helping one person, it would be better to help a group of people. This way, he would not be suspected by Lan Xin and her daughter, and it would also be a good thing.
If that was the case, Hua Ying was quite careful and Liu Hu didn't say much.
It seems that there is another person around him who can share his burden. Liu Hu felt relieved when he thought of this. Although he had used bad means to trick Hua Ying to his side before, it now seems that he was right in choosing the right person.
After a while, Liu Hu arrived at the door of Lan Xin and her daughter's house. Luo Fanchen was already familiar with the route, so he parked the carriage in an inconspicuous place and whispered, "Boss, is this okay?"
Liu Hu said confidently: "Don't worry, it will definitely work."
Lan Xin heard that she had a new teacher and the tuition was much lower than before. After paying the tuition for Zhiruo, she wanted Zhiruo to study more.
Zhiruo looked at her mother in front of her with reluctance. She was not good at studying at all. Although she could learn those things at a glance, she was not willing to learn them at all.
However, she has a well-behaved personality and listens to her mother the most. How dare she not go if her mother asks her to go to school?
After Lan Xin finished cleaning up Zhiruo, she squatted down and said to Zhiruo, "You must study hard when you go to school, and don't fight with other kids, okay?"
Zhiruo was a little fat, and when she had conflicts with peers, she would fight to the death, so she was often kept back by the teacher to be criticized. After a long time, Lan Xin also had a headache.
Zhiruo agreed and went to school happily.
When she arrived at the gathering place for her friends from the same village, she actually saw a horse-drawn carriage. Ergou, who was on good terms with her, was sitting in the carriage. He waved at Zhiruo and said, "Why are you here just now? We are already full. You can run to school today."
After Ergou finished speaking, the carriage slowly drove away, leaving Zhiruo standing alone in the wind, wanting to cry but unable to.
Children are like this. If everyone else walked to school, she wouldn't think it was a big deal, but if everyone else went to school in a carriage and she was the only one walking, she couldn't stand it.
If she hadn't been so obedient to her mother, she would have thrown down her books and gone to play somewhere else.
Unconsciously, Zhiruo's eyes became moist and tears slid down. She walked while crying. Liu Hu felt a little distressed watching her from behind.
"Hurry up." Seeing Zhiruo crying, Liu Hu hurriedly called Luo Fanchen, wanting him to catch up with Zhiruo.
Luo Fanchen immediately understood what Liu Hu meant. He swung the whip in his hand, and the horse ran quickly in pain and caught up with Zhiruo in a short while.
Liu Hu leaned forward and asked Zhiruo who was standing by the road knowingly, "Little Baozi, why are you crying here?"
"Uncle." Seeing Liu Hu, Zhiruo felt like she was seeing a relative, tears streaming down her face. Liu Hu quickly jumped off the carriage, picked Zhiruo up and said, "If anyone bullies you, tell your uncle, and I'll see if he won't beat him up."
Zhiruo hugged Liu Hu's head and said aggrievedly: "Other children went to school in carriages, and I walked alone ."
"Uncle is going to town. How about you take his carriage?" Liu Hu asked Zhiruo in a low voice to see how she would react.
When Zhiruo heard Liu Hu's words, she immediately laughed and said to Liu Hu, "Okay, uncle."
