Chapter 28: Becoming a New Year's Friend with the Dean's Grandpa
"How can it be useless? Sister Qianqian, listen to me..." Pan Yaozong was about to continue speaking when he saw Dean Liu looking over and covered his mouth with his hands. He stopped talking, okay?
Zhu Qianqian frowned, "There's something wrong with your titles. You call me sister, and you call my grandma aunt. It's wrong!"
"Sister Qianqian is right, we didn't think carefully. Grandma Zhu, Aunt Zhu, we apologize to you." Lu Zhiming apologized immediately and corrected his mistake when he realized it.
The grandma of the Zhu family immediately said, "No, no need! The child is just joking, you don't need to take it to heart."
"Grandma Zhu, we were careless. Sister Qianqian was right to point it out. As for our shop, I suggest you consider renting it. If you want your business to grow, reputation is as important as a fixed location." Lu Zhiming asked them again.
Come.
I dare not say let them use it for free, just say rent it. This way, the reputation of the Zhu family can be preserved.
"I don't know how long the fish in the river can be sold for? It's hard to catch fish when the weather gets cold, and renting a shop for a long time is too expensive. Our family is poor and different from others." Zhu Qianqian knew her grandma's plan, so she still refused.
Dean Liu raised his hand to tell Lu Zhiming to stop talking, "Qianqian, there is an empty utility room behind our academy. You can put your things here and you can use the academy's flat cart to push them to the dock every day. The old man from the academy canteen will give you
You leave a stall and your families can sell them separately."
"Thank you, Grandpa Dean, we will pay the rent. I will recite another poem for you by Xiangshan layman. He also has many long poems." Zhu Qianqian recited another poem "Spring Journey to Qiantang Lake".
She recited eight lines of the poem, shaking her head and shaking her head, with a confident light in her eyes.
There are only three things she likes to compete with the most, the first is farming and raising animals, the second is reading and memorizing, and the third is eating. Her mouth is really good.
Dean Liu's eyes were red, "Okay, you memorized it really well. I got three good poems in one day. It's really a joy in life. There are so many early orioles vying for warmth in the trees, and new swallows pecking at the spring mud."
"Starting from Gushan and Jia Ting to Hudong and ending at Baidi, along the way, in the beautiful paradise-like scenery of green lakes and green mountains, we can feel the singing and dancing of orioles and be intoxicated by the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers."
"Little girl Qianqian, I can't charge you rent. You have brought us spiritual food. I can't insult you with money, I just want to contribute. This academy is my own house, so just treat us as friends.
OK?"
"Little girl Qianqian, I can't charge you rent. You have brought us spiritual food. I can't insult you with money, I just want to contribute. This academy is my own house, so just treat us as friends.
OK?"
Zhu Qianqian watched the old man stand up, stroke his beard, and walk back and forth in the cafeteria several times, mumbling incessantly.
The last sentence, she understood, you don't have to pay for making friends in the academy.
"Grandma, is that okay?" She couldn't make the decision on her own. After all, she was still a baby and she had to listen to grandma.
"Mr. Dean, our Qianqian family is too young to be your friend. Being one of your juniors is the virtue of our ancestors." Grandma of the Zhu family quickly wiped her hands on her apron and came out to explain.
"Let's just be friends forever. Don't worry, Grandma Zhu, I'm not a bad person." Dean Liu looked at the little girl kindly.
"That's not what I mean, or the child is too young and is afraid of speaking directly to you." The grandma of the Zhu family has met many Jinshi.
Most scholars are very hypocritical.
Now my good granddaughter can recite a lot of poems and is loved by everyone. If one day she cannot recite her poems, they will turn against her and not recognize her, which will hurt her child.
"Don't worry, I will treat the little girl Qianqian as my granddaughter. Let the kitchen serve a few more dishes so that the little friend and I can have a good meal." Dean Liu's face was filled with joy.
Zhu Qianqian watched the dishes being placed on the table, and she said seriously, "Grandpa Dean, although you served a lot of good dishes, I have finished memorizing today's poems and can't recite them any more."
Dean Liu stroked his beard and said, "Qianqian, you don't have to memorize it every day. These three poems are enough for us to study for a while."
"Then can I start?" Zhu Qianqian drooled, but she still asked politely.
"Okay, let's eat together, and you two should sit down together." Dean Liu said to Lu Zhiming and Pan Yaozong.
The two of them can be considered to have contributed to the discovery of a genius by this old man.
The most pity is that she is a little girl. It would be great if she were a boy, so smart and the top scholar!
What a pity! The old man couldn't help but sigh.
Zhu Qianqian took a bite of the crispy pork and closed her eyes to enjoy it with great satisfaction. This appearance made the adults couldn't help laughing.
"It's so delicious! Grandpa Dean, your family is a great cook. I'll buy a portion later and take it home for my brothers and grandpa to eat. Can I share some with grandma and my second aunt now?" Zhu Qianqian is here and doesn't want to eat alone.
"I was rude and served the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zhu family." Dean Liu was touched by the child's filial piety. He is such a good child.
"No, Mr. Dean, we have food. The fish is here, you can try it." The grandma of the Zhu family just happened to bring the fish.
Hearing this, she quickly refused. She was so obedient and still young, so she didn't understand the world.
"No, no, no, little girl Qianqian is my friend. I was rude and I apologize to you." Dean Liu stood up seriously and apologized to the grandma of the Zhu family.
The grandma of the Zhu family was so frightened that she hurriedly ran away and was about to kneel down. Pan Yaozong held her back, "Old man, you don't know how important the poem Qianqian memorized is to us. Don't be polite, our dean is a real person.
.”
"Grandma, I also think the dean's grandpa is very down-to-earth. When the rainstorm ends, I will bring my brothers to listen to the dean's lectures." Zhu Qianqian likes this bearded dean very much.
"Heavy rain? Little friend Qianqian, this is..." Dean Liu immediately noticed the different words.
If it was just now, he might have been joking as a child, but now the old man is serious.
"I read a book on astronomy and watched the sky at night. It will rain heavily tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It will rain for many days. I asked my grandpa to collect all the food and transport it to the mountain. Otherwise, there will be nothing to eat." Zhu Qianqian
After communicating with Dudu in my mind, it will also rain heavily in the county.
She reminded her that whether others believed it or not was none of her business. After all, she was still a child.
Dean Liu immediately called the boy next to him to give some instructions. Once he believed in the boy, he immediately asked someone to collect all the food in the farm.
Everyone who can be informed should be informed as well. No matter whether Qianqian’s prediction works or not, it’s just a waste of manpower now.
If it is accurate, it will be equivalent to saving food.
When big households like them collect grain, they can encourage people around them to harvest it without saying anything.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Qianqian liked him even more.
I don't think it's a joke just because I'm a child.
