The couple with blank eyes revealed surprise expressions when they heard Ling Muer's last words.

The woman asked instinctively: "Is what the girl said true? If we do well, can you really let our family Fu'er go to study?"

"Of course." Ling Muer secretly smiled. She knew that child was their weakness. It should be said that in the hearts of every parent, children are their weakness.

"Don't worry, girl. Since we are her servants, we will do our best for her." The woman said respectfully.

Ling Muer nodded lightly: "Just now you said that your child is called Fu'er. Why don't I call you Uncle Fu from now on!"

"Yes." Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu replied at the same time.

"As long as you perform well, you will be paid one or two taels of silver per month." Seeing that other people looked at her expectantly, Ling Muer said, "It's the same with you."

"Thank you, girl." Everyone thanked in unison.

These people are servants chosen by Ling Dazhi. Their contract of prostitution is in the hands of the Ling family. As long as the Ling family gave them a bite to eat without paying them wages, they would serve the Ling family wholeheartedly. Although he was unwilling to do so, he didn't dare to do anything. The punishment for runaway slaves in this era was so cruel that no servant dared to run away.

This is because there have been cases in the past where fugitive slaves killed their masters and escaped, and criminal laws against such things were promulgated later.

Once such a thing happens, it will be a lingering punishment if they are caught. That would be worse than death. Therefore, as long as the master's family leaves the slaves a way out, the slaves will never dare to disobey the master's family. Even if he died at the hands of the master, it would be as happy as dying slowly after Ling Chi.

Fu'er was still young, so she couldn't do much except play with Ling Ziyu and Yang Xiaohu. In fact, when Ling Dazhi bought the family of three, he couldn't bear to separate them. That Fu'er was still young, Ling Dazhi bought him for two taels of silver. If it were someone else, they would never do such a loss-making business. After all, such a young child can't do things at all, and he has to be raised for several years before he can do things. With this money, it is better to buy a strong laborer. This is also one of the reasons why Aunt Fu and Uncle Fu are so devoted to the Ling family.

One of the two women was surnamed Li and the other was surnamed Wang. Everyone called them Aunt Li and Aunt Wang. In addition to doing odd jobs, these two people can also do hand embroidery. The clothes of the people were handed over to the two women to take care of them.

One of the two young men was named Hu Cheng and the other Song Hua. The servant arrives at the house of the new master, and the name is given by the new master. Ling Muer decided to change them to Ling Cheng and Ling Hua.

With these few people, the business of the Ling Family Restaurant is on the right track. Especially Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu, with their help, Ling Muer is now able to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu were originally the kitchen manager of a wealthy family. Not only did they learn the dishes taught by Ling Muer, but they could also cook dozens of dishes by themselves. Ling Muer selected ten dishes with common ingredients and added them to the menu. With the space vegetables she provided, the fried taste is better than before, and the guests are of course in an endless stream.

"Today I will send the children to the private school, and I will leave the affairs of the store to you." Ling Muer confessed a few words.

Now that there are handymen, Ling Dazhi, Yang Shi, Yang Daniu and Ling Zixuan don't have to stay in the kitchen, they are mainly responsible for managing these servants.

Ling Muer arranged for Ling Zixuan to be the shopkeeper. Ling Zixuan is very smart, teach him the method of mental arithmetic, and he quickly mastered it. So, now the accounts are handed over to him.

Ling Dazhi and Yang Daniu are responsible for greeting the guests. When there are many guests, that is when they show up. Usually there are not many guests, they can also go to the backyard to take care of Tang.

Yang still stayed in the back kitchen. After all, it's a woman, so it's not good to walk around in the lobby all the time. She stared at them in the back kitchen and beat them by the way.

Ling Muer took Yang Xiaohu, Ling Ziyu and Fu'er out of the hotel. She has already inquired about the location of the private school, and has prepared Shu Xiu, and now she just waits to find the teacher.

There are three private schools in this town. The masters of two of the private schools are scholars, namely Tang Xiucai and Wang Xiucai. There is only one private school whose master is Juren, known as Hong Juren. This Hong Juren was very successful at a young age, and successfully passed the entrance examinations for Tongsheng, Xiucai, and Juren. However, in an accident, his face was destroyed, and he was not eligible to take the imperial examination after that.

This dynasty had very strict requirements on officials. As long as you have a little disability on your body, even if you have a little birthmark on your face, you can't take the imperial examination. In their view, officials represent the face of a country. If an official is too ugly, it will affect the image of the country too much. It can be said that those who can be officials must at least have good facial features.

Hong Juren could no longer take the imperial examination, so he set up a private school in the town. This person was respected as a child prodigy by the world at a young age, so his knowledge was unquestionable, and many people sought him out as apprentices. It's just that since he was frustrated, his temperament has become weird. Although he accepts students, he is very picky. So far, there are only twenty people studying in his hands.

Ling Mu'er found out who these three people were, and finally decided to find this Hong Juren. It's not because of his status as a Juren, but because he has real talents and learning. It's just that this person has no rules for accepting apprentices, it's completely according to his mood. She didn't know if the three of Ling Ziyu could fall into his eyes.

Ling Muer led the crowd to an old courtyard. Although the courtyard is old, it is very large. It can be seen that this Hong Juren had once enjoyed a glorious past.

Boom boom boom! Ling Muer knocked on the door.

A little boy opened the door and looked at the people in front of him with a look of surprise in his eyes. The little boy waved his hand and said, "Go back! Our master won't accept anyone."

"Brother, can you at least let us meet Hong Juren?" Ling Mu'er handed a piece of broken silver to the boy.

The little boy took a few steps back and looked around nervously. He was relieved when he didn't see anyone else. He darkened his face and said: "Don't hurt me. If our master sees it, I will have to peel off my skin. He hates people who take bribes the most."

Ling Muer raised her eyebrows. She took back the money, pretended to dig out her sleeves, then took out a book, and handed it to the boy: "Then please show Hong Juren our apprenticeship ceremony! If Hong Juren still refuses to accept it, we will not be embarrassed." Brother, you will naturally leave here obediently, and don’t dare to pester me any more.”

The little boy looked at the things in Ling Muer's hand. That is a book. Thinking about Hong Juren's love of books, Xiaotong hesitated to take it: "Then you wait here. I will report first, and if the master doesn't accept them, you will leave immediately and don't make trouble here."

"That's natural." Ling Muer smiled.

The little boy walked into the yard with a book.

Ling Mu'er watched him enter a room, and then a deep voice came from the room: "Didn't I say I wouldn't accept him?"

"Master, that girl said that this is the teacher's ceremony, please read the teacher's ceremony before making a decision." The little boy said tremblingly.

"Yuanzi, it seems that I have been too conniving with you and made you ignore my rules." The man sneered, "I said before, I hate accepting bribes the most... Wait... Is this the theory of the Five Kingdoms? Hasn’t this book been lost for a long time? Invite them in quickly.”

"Yes..." The nervous little boy secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Hong Juren's excited voice.

Click! The boy named Mariko came out. He glared at Ling Muer dissatisfied: "I was really scared to death just now. Fortunately, there was no danger."

"As long as the ending is good, the process is not important. Your master will not embarrass you, but will reward you instead." Ling Muer dragged Ling Ziyu and Yang Xiaohu into the yard.

She was the one who copied the five-nation policy theory. As Hong Juren said, this book has long been lost. She stayed in the kitchen all day, even if she wanted to find an ancient book, she didn't have the time. Now, out of nowhere, a lost ancient book came out, of course, because she copied that ancient book bit by bit from her mind.

Ling Muer led the three children into Hong Juren's study. It is already get out of class time, so the whole yard is very quiet.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a middle-aged man in his thirties sitting at the table, looking at the books in front of him with obsessive eyes.

At first she only saw the right side of his face, and found that he was quite handsome. When he raised his head, revealing the burnt left cheek, his whole person changed completely.

Seeing the people who entered the door, Hong Juren's fiery eyes cooled down. He turned sideways, slightly avoiding the injured left cheek.

Ling Muer knew that this Hong Juren should be very concerned about other people's attention to his appearance. She only took one look, then lowered her head as usual, and saluted him.

Yang Xiaohu has always been bold, seeing the disfigured Hong Juren, he couldn't help trembling. On the contrary, Ling Ziyu, who has always been timid, did not show anything unusual.

As for Fu'er, he is older than Yang Xiaohu and Ling Ziyu, and he has seen a lot of people. So when he saw Hong Juren, his expression was very calm.

"Who wants to study?" Hong Juren couldn't ignore these people out of politeness, so he had to face them sideways.

Ling Mu'er said softly: "Hong Juren, these children have reached the age of school, please accept them together!"

"Three?" Hong Juren looked at the three children in front of him.

These three children are of different ages and completely different in appearance, so they are obviously not brothers. Looking at their clothes and expressions, there is obviously a difference between high and low.

"Yes. These are my two younger brothers, and this is Fu'er, who I found to accompany them." Ling Muer introduced: "I know that one book on Five Kingdoms Policy is not enough to be a teacher, so I specially prepared another book ..."

As Ling Muer said, she took out another book from her sleeve. She offered the book with both hands.

In fact, with Ling Muer's talent, she can teach these children herself. It's just that in this era, if they want to take the exam for fame, they must have a decent teacher.

When Hong Juren heard that there were still books, he didn't even avoid that disfigured face. He stood up excitedly, and took the book from Ling Muer's hand. When I saw the title of the book, I immediately exclaimed excitedly: "The Theory of Celebrities and the Country. This is a collection of more than 100 celebrities' comments on the policy of governing the country. Many people have never seen it in their entire lives. It turns out It's real, not a myth."

"That's natural." Ling Mu'er smiled lightly: "Now Juren shouldn't be in a difficult situation anymore, right?"

"Of course." Hong Juren waved his hand and said, "You will have no problem sending another thirty people to study. Don't worry, I will teach them well."
