118 There’s Something Wrong with the Matchmaker
After the vigers ate, there were still many dishes left. This was because they did not want Chi Jia to spend too much, afraid that they would eat too much and burden the host.
In the end, everyone thought that way and ate less. There were many dishes left at the 20 tables.
The diligentdies had long tidied up the pots and pans. The leftovers from the banquet were also packed.
Whether it was Chi Jia or Qin Huai, they would not eat leftovers. Therefore, Chi Jia distributed the extra food to the vigers ording to Qin Huai’s instructions.
None of the vigers were willing to ept it.
“This is too precious. I can’t take this.”
They were already embarrassed enough toe here to eat and drink for free. In the end, they still had to take food home for nothing. They could not get over the hurdle in their hearts.
“Didn’t you want to give your child to me as my disciple? It shouldn’t be a big deal for a master to care about his disciple’s family, right?” Chi Jia could only say this.
“How can that do-” The vigers originally thought that Chi Jia was just being polite. But when they reacted, their eyes were filled with ecstasy.
“Mr. Chi, you agree?! How much do we have to pay?” They still had to calcte how much money they had at home. If it was too expensive, they could only learn for a while.
“It’s the same as the Wang Family’s rules. As long as you give me half a catty of meat a season, it’s fine. I don’t care about anything else, as long as the child is obedient enough.” As for the other stuff, Chi Jia didn’t like them very much, so he told the other vigers not to send them.
Just like that, from the initial four students the Wang family.
In an instant, there were more than 20 kids learning martial arts from Chi Jia. Every day, they could hear humming sounds in the courtyard, mixed with childish voices.
That was Little Ah Yu speaking.
Originally, Chi Jia wanted Little Ah Yu to go to the small courtyard to practice with Qin Huai, but Little Ah Yu preferred to practice with everyone.
Chi Jia did not intend to nurture the kids into martial arts experts, so he gave everyone a long time to build their foundation. Every day, he would let them walk the bnce beam, practice the Horse Stance, or run on the mountain.
The children felt that none of this was difficult. At least, it was much more fun than farming.
There wasughter in the courtyard every day, and everyone was especially happy.
As for Wang Wng and the others, they were much more miserable. Old Madam Wang specially brought more than ten catties of meat to Old Master Hu’s house and expressed her hope that he could teach the children strictly.
Old Master Hu liked Old Madam Wang’s attitude very much and promised to nurture the children well.
Just like Chi Jia, everyone knew that Old Master Hu had taken in some disciples. Many families gritted their teeth and also sent their children over.
Old Master Hu naturally did not ask for much payment. He only epted a token amount to make everyone feel better.
When one was old, they also wanted to umte more merit and feelfortable.
As for whether these children could walk the path of the Imperial Examination, it depended on their own luck.
After using the gene repair agent, Old man Wang and Wang Chuangui’s legs recovered very quickly. From breaking their legs topletely recovering, it only took 10 days.
Knowing that they could really walk now, Wang Chuangui still could not believe it.
“Could the person that Mother found really be a divine doctor?!”
Divine Doctor Xue had lived in their house for a long time, and from the looks of it, he wanted to stay here forever.
The Wang family did not have any extra rooms for him to stay in. Now, Divine Doctor Xue was still living in the storeroom. He carried a stick every day and wandered around the vige.
“It’s all thanks to your mother. Your legs still have to recuperate more. Don’t be in a hurry to go out and walk. Lie at home for a few more days. Chuangui, you have to work hard and fight for your mother’s pride and fulfill her dream of bing a noble Madam.”
Old man Wang calmly diverted Wang Chuangui’s attention.
Wang Chuangui was not that stupid. He roughly knew that things might not be as simple as he imagined when his legs recovered.
But he was happy to y dumb.
In any case, what his parents knew shouldn’t be a bad thing. If they didn’t let him know now, it would mean that the time wasn’t right.
“Alright, I understand. I’ll study hard. During this period of time, I’ll stay at home and study. When my legs recover, I’ll go to Old Master Hu to ask for guidance.”
Old man Wang was still very gratified that his son was so tactful.
“You’re already so old. Father won’t restrict you. In any case, it’s fine as long as you know what you’re doing.”
Most of the children in the family had their paths set. The people in the vige worked harder as well. They vaguely felt that the vige seemed to be getting better and better.
“Do you think that ever since Ah Yu came to our vige, there have been very few disasters in the vige? There are always good things. Do you think we can get rid of the title of the poorest vige in the future?”
As they worked in the fields, the vigers could not help but chat.
“Is there anyone who doesn’t know that Ah Yu is a Blessing Child? She’s the little lucky star of our vige. With her here, the vige will recover. We have to be grateful for this.”
“I saw Ah Yu learning martial arts from Mr. Chi and saw her at Old Master Hu’s house. Is this child learning academics too?”
“That child looks smart, but she’s a little thin. After she came to the vige, she gradually grew taller. I think she’s good at studying. It’s a pity that she’s a girl. If she was a boy, our vige might have a top schr!”
“How can it be easy to be the top scorer? How many people does our Great Chang Kingdom have? There can only be one top scorer. That’spletely unimaginable.”
“Who knows? So many children in our vige are studying hard now. Some are learning academics, while others are practicing martial arts. There will definitely be a few who stand out. Once the children stand out, our vige can also follow their rise.”
... .
Everyone chatted enthusiastically. Only a few people who did not like to chat buried their heads in their work. When they were done, they asked silently.
“Don’t you think that the things nted in thend given by the Wang Family are different?”
Only then did everyone take a closer look. What they saw was incredible. It had been almost 10 days since the Wang Family gave them the grain seeds to sow. Logically speaking, it should have sprouted.
However, this sprout was too big!
Look at the tip of the pea pod. It was green and as long as a palm. It would normally take at least half a month for it to grow to this state. Moreover, its appearance would not be so good.
“Previously, I felt that the grain seeds given by Madam Wang looked very good. I thought that the grain nted would be better. Look, isn’t iting true?”
Some people thought to themselves, “If the ones we nted look like this, wouldn’t the ones from the Wang family be even better?”
...
Hence, everyone chatted andughed, nning to go to Old Wang’s 20 acres of fertilend to take a look.
The Wang family still did not know because they had encountered something vexing.
Originally, in the past two days, they had begun to look for girls for Wang Dng. Generally speaking, they had to ask the local matchmaker for help.
However, after the Wang Family gave the matchmaker money, the matchmaker only introduced some strange girls. ording to them, their eldest grandson was only worthy of these girls.
They only found out after asking around in private that a few matchmakers had colluded with each other. It seemed like they wanted to take revenge on their family so that none of their grandchildren could marry a good wife.
Old Madam Wang sneered. “I roughly know who it is.”
