Chapter 1796 Zeng Jia's request
Gu Yundong was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to see Zeng Jia walking in hesitantly.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law." After Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan got married, the three children of Zeng's family called her sister-in-law.
Gu Yundong laughed, "Why are you here? Are you looking for something? Come in first."
Zeng Jia hurriedly walked a few steps, walked into the front hall, and stood in front of Gu Yundong.
He is twelve years old now. In this age, he is actually not too young. He is a young man who can support his family.
And it may be that nutrition has caught up in recent years, and he doesn't need to do too heavy work. Zeng Jia's stature suddenly increased, and he was no shorter than Gu Yundong when he stood.
At this time, she was sitting, Zeng Jia was standing, and Gu Yundong had to raise his neck when he looked at him, so he was really tired.
She hurriedly sat him down and pushed the nut plate on the table over, "Come and have something to eat."
Zeng Jia was probably a little nervous, so he unconsciously held a piece of nut with his fingers.
After a while, he said, "Sister-in-law, I came here to ask you something."
"As you say, what do you ask for?"
Zeng Jia pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and said, "Can I also go to the capital to do things?"
Gu Yundong was taken aback, "Do you want to go to the capital?"
"Yeah." Zeng Jia was afraid that she would not agree, so he sat up straight and began to recommend himself, "Although I am only twelve years old, I have read books, learned to calculate and know words. When I was in a private school, I was praised by my husband. Yes. I am very flexible, I learn things quickly, and I am very adaptable. When I go to the capital, I will definitely be able to help my sister-in-law. Besides, I don’t want any wages.”
Now, apprentices as big as him are basically still in the stage of learning their skills from Master, most of them have no wages, and even give gifts to Master during festivals.
In Zeng Jia's thinking, he is in such a situation now, he has never done anything in the workshop, he doesn't understand anything, and he needs to be taught by others, so it is normal not to pay wages.
After hearing this, Gu Yundong couldn't help but ponder, Zeng Jia is really good, although he entered school late, but now he is full of money, and he has attended private school for more than two years.
That private school was to teach people to read and write. Zeng Jia didn’t take the imperial examinations, so naturally he didn’t need to read the Four Books and Five Classics.
So he has a good grasp of the knowledge needed in life such as calculation and writing, and he studies very hard, and he will save what he does not understand. When Gu Dajiang comes back, he will bring it over and ask.
These advantages he said are also true.
To be honest, although some of the people brought to the capital this time are still recognizing characters, they are not very skilled after all because they are old and stumble upon learning.
Gu Yundong also needs people like Zeng Jia.
She looked at the young man sitting opposite, Zeng Jia looked at her nervously and expectantly, "Sister-in-law, I can really do it, it's definitely not a loss for you to use me."
"Why do you want to go to the capital?"
"I want to go out and have a look, I want to do something. Now that my parents are still young, I don't need to worry too much about leaving their side to go outside. Besides, I'm not married, I don't have a wife and children, and I don't have any worries. I can let go of my hands and feet and try my own skills. In the future, when my parents are older and have a wife and children, I will have to take care of my family and take care of them by their side.”
