Chapter 6: Gaining knowledge
"You guys are good at teaching! You go back and sleep for a few days first. Don't go out these days. Zhang Bangchang has sent someone to Kaifeng Mansion to sue you. I have already arranged for someone to change the Qianhuo Team's roster list. It is useless for them to catch those rascals. After these days, I will arrange for someone to send you to Taishi Cai's mansion! These days, well, I specially found two girls from Huanhua Building to teach you something!"
Yao Hua's face turned red, and Zhao Wuji poked his forehead, "Don't think about it. Although you have read books and read literacy, you still haven't learned about this poetry, books and scriptures. You can only ask them to sing for you for a few days. You can remember while listening, which is better than rote yourself!"
"So they are also arranged by the county prince? I really didn't expect it!"
"You are thinking too much. I arranged for Zhong Zhiming to do this. He paid for it and you went to class! As for where I arranged the people, you can't ask. This is the rule! It's also a taboo! In the future, I will send you out of Liao Kingdom, and the people there are one-to-one contacts. You should never expose yourself to more than two of your own people. Because the so-called own people may also be the enemy's detailed work! By the way, there is no one in the house of Taishi Cai, so don't think that someone will give you a hint!"
Yao Hua's head was buzzing. The errands of the Qianhuo Team were not worth mentioning compared to these things in the future. The most terrible thing was to learn poetry, classics and history. When he was a child, he came to be drowsy when he heard that the teacher was drowsy and was beaten a lot for this matter.
"Don't be dazed, we should go out. The firelight of the torch has begun to weaken. You can't stay here anymore. You have to open the door for breathing! After returning from Taishi Cai's mansion, I will give you a surprise! Do it well!"
Five days later, Zhao Wuji arranged for Deng Yong to take Yao Hua to the side door of Cai Jing's mansion to report. Dozens of people had already been waiting.
When Yao Hua arrived, many people in front left dejectedly, "Oh, it will take such a lot of effort to do a firewood chopping job. Do we have that ability to chop firewood?"
"That's right, go to the next one!"
When it was Yao Hua's turn to enter the door, the choreographer of the Cai Mansion reached out and made an obstructive posture. "Slow down, have you seen everyone in front of you left? To work in the Cai Mansion, you have to go through the exam first!"
"I'm just here to chop firewood, not here to do academic research, and I still need an exam?"
"You don't understand this. If the so-called seventh-rank official of the prime minister can enter with a casual person, it would be too unruly!"
Yao Hua's heart skipped a beat. Although there were two girls from Huanhua Building rotating lyrics and songs these days, they didn't remember much. If they came to take the exam, there would be no chance. It would be better to give up. "Forget it, just take the exam. I can't do anything about poetry, songs, classics, history, and collections. Let's take the exam. After the exam, I'll go to another place to chop firewood!"
The tragic housekeeper smiled contemptuously, "You want to lie to me with such tricks? You scholars have lost their reputation. They think I am just a servant, so they want to lie to me, don't think so! I am not fooled by you. The most important thing in this work in the Grand Master's Mansion is cleverness! I will not test you for showing off!"
Yao Hua stopped as soon as he heard that there was a show, "Then you must not take any knives, guns and sticks, I don't know how to do martial arts!"
"You are so arrogant, you are so arrogant. Listen to it. This question is a girl praying not to snow on the day of marriage, but the fortune teller will definitely snow on the day of her fortune teller. This girl can't figure it out. How can you help her?"
Is this the one who came to chop firewood or to talk about love with the girl? This topic is really beyond Yao Hua's expectations. No wonder so many people in front left dejectedly.
"Hehe, weren't you very good at talking just now? Why don't you know what to say as soon as my question came out?"
"No, no, no, I want to advise the girl that if it snows that day, it would be happy to come from heaven to blessing a new couple together forever; if it doesn't snow that day, it would be that heaven would follow others and wish everything would go well for a happy couple for a hundred years! I wonder if my words can touch that girl!"
Yao Hua turned around and was about to leave. The choreographer behind him called him, "Stop! You'll be the one! Your answer is okay! It's really hard to find someone these days, so let's take you first!"
Yao Hua turned around and said, "This is OK? Can I go in and work to get money?"
"No, no, no, I will take you in. I have to go to the mixed room to take a shower and change your clothes, and rinse your mouth! The Grand Master's Mansion is very rules, and you must not look directly at the female family! Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't do the work you shouldn't do! Just chop firewood for two hours, and you have to come out of this door when the time comes!"
"Okay, I'll follow your instructions. I don't know what to call you?"
"My name is Cai Yuanfu, and I am the miscellaneous steward here. I am specializing in the matter of chopping firewood, carrying water, sweeping the floor and dealing with sewage! By the way, I have no choice but to do business with me! All the utensils in this mansion are supplied by merchants selected by Master Cai himself!"
"Thank you, Butler Fu. My little name is Yao Hua. I know. I don't have these thoughts. I'm just a poor boy!"
"Come on, don't talk, come in with me!"
When Yao Hua entered Cai Jing's Grand Tutor's Mansion, he found that there seemed to be nothing special, and it was not even as large as the Yao family's house, and the house was old, just like the broken house hundreds of years ago I saw in my hometown, but it was not so dilapidated.
Yao Hua's surprise was seen by Cai Yuanfu, and Cai Yuanfu smiled, "I know you scholars are rare! Today's Taoist emperor is retro. If you want to restore the Zhou rituals, my master cannot leave me. Naturally, this house must be restored to the ancient system. The Zhou Dynasty cannot be found, but the appearance of the Tang Dynasty can still be achieved. You kid, just gain more knowledge!"
Two months after chopping firewood at Cai Jing's mansion, Yao Hua finally had the opportunity to carry firewood into the kitchen and put in a few sticks of sandalwood in.
When he picked up the sandalwood, he thought he wanted him to make furniture, but who knew he was burning sandalwood as firewood.
Before coming to Bianjing, he thought that his elder brother Yao Pingzhong's full sheep banquet was already luxurious enough. He chose dozens of sheep, just pick the bones and just pick the meat, drink and eat mutton with everyone, and other bear paws and hares and donkey meat as supplements. This meal costs hundreds of stagnants, and according to Yao Hua's salary, it takes several years to afford it.
Today at Cai Jing's mansion, when he was leaving, Cai Yuanfu asked him to take a slaughtered sheep back. He thought it was the reward given to him by the Grand Tutor's mansion, but Yao Hua was almost shocked after asking.
A hot fried goat head meat dish, and one hundred sheep were killed, and only the head of the sheep was taken, while only the meat on the sheep's face was picked out from the sheep's head, and the others were thrown into the corner.
