Chapter 124 Mr. Fu
Chapter 124 Mr. Fu
In Su Weixi's yard, Su Weixi was reading a travel book, and An An and Ning Ning were also reading obediently beside him.
"Sister, when can Mr. Zhang come to Qiongzhou Island?"
"It should be here soon. Maybe it got delayed on the way. What happened? Did you come across something you don't understand again?"
"Well, I don't understand what this means."
Then Su Weixi took a look at the book An An was reading. Fortunately, he could answer the questions An An raised.
However, his knowledge was not as good as the teacher here, so Su Weixi asked An An to write down the question as before and ask the teacher again when he came.
During dinner, Su Weixi discussed Mr. Zhang's matter with Su Ma, because Mr. Zhang was much later than the scheduled time. Logically speaking, he should have arrived earlier than Shen Jingzhou.
"Mother, Mr. Zhang hasn't arrived yet. Could it be that something has delayed him? Should we send someone to ask him?"
"But our family doesn't know much about his situation, and we don't know where to look for him now."
"Let my dad ask Xiao Yi. Wasn't it him who introduced Mr. Zhang to me?"
"Okay, I'll have the butler send someone to the military camp to talk to your father tomorrow."
Five days later, Su's father sent a message back, saying that Mr. Zhang's father had passed away. He had to live in a hut and observe mourning for his father for three years, so he could no longer come to teach An An Ning Ning.
However, Xiao Yi was already looking for new husbands for An An and Ning Ning, so he asked them to wait for a while.
After staying on the island for a month, Shen Jingzhou was ready to leave.
During his days on the island, he left early and came back late every day, sometimes not coming back for several days. Su Weixi and the others didn't know what he was busy with, but they didn't ask. After all, the Shen family had such a big business and had a lot of business on Qiongzhou Island, so it was normal for him to go out for inspection.
When he left, Su Ma and Su Weixi prepared two large carriages full of things for him to take back to Bai Youyou and the children.
Port terminal.
The entire Su family came to see Shen Jingzhou off.
"Uncle and aunt, you are so polite. You have prepared so many things for Youyou and the children. I don't know how to thank you." Shen Jingzhou said gratefully as he watched the servants loading things onto the boat.
"Hahahaha, these are not prepared by me, but by your aunt."
"Thank you for your concern, aunt."
"Okay, we're already so familiar with each other, so don't be so polite. Besides, you brought us a lot of things when you came."
Indeed, when Shen Jingzhou came here before, he also brought a lot of things to the Su family. Fearing that the island was not fully stocked, he prepared almost everything needed for food, clothing, housing and transportation for everyone in the Su family.
"Brother Shen, this is a gift my brother and I made for my younger brother. Please help us bring it to my younger brother." Ningning said, and she and her brother handed the boxes in their hands to Shen Jingzhou.
The box contains the shell wind chime they made for Shang'er.
"Silly sister, we should call Brother Shen's child nephew, not brother," An An reminded.
"Oops, I forgot."
"Hahaha, brother thanks you on behalf of Shang'er. When you go to brother's house in the future, can you bring Shang'er to play with you?" Shen Jingzhou was amused by the conversation between An An and Ning Ning.
The few of them didn't say anything more, and soon Shen Jingzhou boarded the boat and left Qiongzhou Island.
Half a month later, the man that An An had been waiting for finally came.
When they saw the new gentleman, the Su family was stunned.
I knew that the teacher Xiao Yi found would not be too bad, but I didn't expect that he would actually invite such a heavyweight. It was really a waste of talent to let him teach the children.
The person who came was an old acquaintance of the Su family, that was the teacher who taught Qing'er in the valley - Mr. Fu!
Although the Su family still doesn't know Mr. Fu's true identity, if you think about how he talked at the time, and the fact that he was able to be a teacher to the Eighth Prince at the time, he would not be a simple person.
"Hahahaha, what's wrong? You don't recognize me after not seeing me for a few years?" Mr. Fu couldn't help but joked as he looked at the stunned Su family members in front of him.
"Mr. Fu, how, how could it be you?" Father Su was so surprised that he stuttered.
"Why? I am not knowledgeable enough to be a teacher for your child." Mr. Fu teased Su's father deliberately.
"No, no, no, how could that be possible? I'm just afraid that my child is too stupid and you'd dislike him."
Mother Su brought a few children forward to pay their respects to Mr. Fu.
"Husband, why don't you invite Mr. Fu into the house? He must be very tired after taking a boat and a carriage." Su Ma reminded Su Ba in time.
"Yes, yes, I am so excited. Mr. Fu, please."
Knowing that a master would come, Su Ma had already asked the housekeeper to carefully clean up the yard. Now that she saw that the visitor was Master Fu, she quickly told the servants in the yard to serve him attentively.
Considering that Mr. Fu was too tired from the long journey, everyone did not eat lunch together. Instead, he ate alone in the yard to have a good rest.
It was not until dinner time when Master Fu had rested enough that everyone had dinner together. Xiao Yi also rushed over from the military camp.
While eating, considering that Mr. Fu was there, no one chatted.
After dinner, Xiao Yi left, and the rest of the people drank tea and chatted.
"I didn't know that the gentleman Zizhao invited was Mr. Fu. It's really troublesome for you to travel such a long way." Father Su was really worried whether Mr. Fu could adapt to life on Qiongzhou Island at his age.
"No problem. I've been traveling around for years and I'm used to traveling by horse and carriage." Mr. Fu put down the teacup in his hand and chatted with Mr. Su.
"These must be the twin boy and girl from back then. They have grown so big now." Old Fu looked at An An and Ning Ning who were sitting below.
An An and her sister came forward to pay their respects to Mr. Fu. They already knew that if nothing unexpected happened, this man would be their teacher in the future. Moreover, he was a man with more knowledge than Mr. Zhang. An An always admired knowledgeable people.
"Hello sir."
Mr. Fu observed the two children's expressions and movements. They looked calm and fearless, and their behavior was well-behaved. Then he asked a few questions to An An and Ning Ning respectively.
An An and Ning Ning answered what they knew, and honestly said they didn't know if they didn't know. Mr. Fu couldn't help but nodded: "Yeah, that's right. I heard Zi Zhao say before that your two children are very talented, and it turns out to be true."
"Sir, you are too kind. It is just that you are a little smart."
"I will teach you from now on. Are you willing?"
"We do, sir."
"Then I'll have to trouble you to teach the two children from now on." Father Su immediately responded.
"Of course, but the mansion must prepare the food I like. In the past few years, I have been traveling abroad, and I often miss the food cooked by Su Xiaoyou."
"Of course. Just tell me what you want to eat, Mr. Fu. By the way, after coming to Qiongzhou Island, I have developed a few new dishes. I will ask the kitchen to prepare them for you to taste tomorrow."
"Very good, very good."
Afterwards, they chatted about their respective recent situations in recent years and then dispersed.
Father Su personally sent Mr. Fu back to the courtyard arranged for him.
