Tingzhou is the birthplace of the Qiu family, and now there are some extremely partial branches there, of course, they are all so poor that they want to sell their sons and daughters. It is said that some of them are so poor and crazy that they even sell their daughters-in-law. And a few months ago, Tingzhou had just experienced a severe flood, the farmland was washed away, and now it still relies on the imperial court to help, and the relief food is simply not enough, but this year's winter is very cold, and I don't know how many people will starve to death and freeze to death?

Qiu Yiran thought of going to Tingzhou to buy people, firstly because it was cheap and easy to control, and secondly, because Tingzhou has produced beautiful women since ancient times. In addition to getting a daughter-in-law for Lu Da, he also wanted to buy a few more beautiful girls to prepare this time and give them as gifts in the future. The Qiu family has rarely added people in recent years, and most of them are born in the family, and the children of the family naturally have the benefits of having children, but sometimes they are not very easy to use.

Qingyuan Hou nodded approvingly, such a thing Qiu Yiran could always think in front of him, and he also thought about it more thoroughly. It's a pity that he doesn't have the ability to revive the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, and if he continues like this, he will be handed over to him in the future, and I'm afraid it will be just a mess with an empty title of the Marquis Mansion.

I knew that I shouldn't have made such a fuss about degrading my wife as a concubine, and the Marquis of Qingyuan sighed. After the farce, they not only watched a large amount of money that had entered the Hou Mansion fly away, losing both fame and fortune, but also broke with Tie Muyuan, knowing that King Jing was covering Yin Zhiruo's sisters and brothers, but they couldn't climb it. Now Qiu Yiran, in order to calculate Yin Zhiruo, let an embroidery girl get involved, and almost made a big joke, not to mention the loss of a sum of silver, if it is not handled well, it will be offended to the Yasukuni Mansion if it is not done well.

What is this called? Why did you listen to Ji's idea and believe in Ji's and Ye Fang'er's so-called "foolproof" in the first place. The more Qingyuanhou thought about it, the more angry he became, and he glared at Ji Shi angrily and snorted heavily: "You have to hurry up about the New Year's gift, how many people have begun to send it out, especially in the capital, it has always been much earlier than in our places." Of course, he knew that the three thousand taels given to Lu Da had embezzled the money used to purchase the New Year's gift, but in the final analysis, the current embarrassment of the Marquis of Qingyuan Mansion was not all caused by her?

Ji's shock and fear brought by Lu Da's backstage tracing back to the crown prince have not been dissipated, and he was suddenly reprimanded by Qingyuanhou, and he was really stunned for a while before he reacted, naturally he was very aggrieved, and he was about to have a seizure, but Qingyuanhou, who knew her temperament deeply, threw over coldly: "If it weren't for you and your cousin Ye Fang'er coming up with a blind idea, Yi'er's road is much easier now, not only has silver to do, maybe she can climb up to King Jing." Look at the present, don't talk about anything else, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to settle even a better family business. He really didn't expect that there were so many generals in the army who dared to stand up, and even King Jing did not hesitate to speak out to take care of Yin Zhiruo's sisters and brothers.

Ji was choked and couldn't refute it. Anyway, if she hadn't believed in Ye Fang'er too much, the relationship between Yiran and Yin Zhiruo would really not have become what it is now, and their Qiu family would not be so difficult now, and she would really be ashamed of her son.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine sold in the world, and now I still have to find a way to do something for Yi'er first, but her dowry may not be a fraction of what Yin Zhiruo's is. Suddenly, she thought of a money-saving trick: "Yes, I seemed to hear in Meizhuang the day before yesterday that Ruqiu was rushing to make a New Year's gift to be sent to the capital with other embroidery girls." Didn't we also send some skins to Zhuangzi, and there were some in the warehouse, so that Ruqiu would rush to make some day and night, wouldn't her needlework be very good? There are a lot of leftovers left over from the last time I made furniture, and they are all good wood. ”

Also, the embroidery skills are so good, can you bring two good little girls to pick up the embroidery work of Ruyi Embroidery Village together, Ji secretly decided, no matter how to deal with Ruqiu in the future, she must first earn back the five thousand taels of silver she spent, anyway, the Liu family knows very well that their Qingyuan Marquis Mansion is short of silver, and they will not make a fuss.

Qiu Yiran agreed: "It's okay, Ruqiu has been in the capital, and he should know something about the fashionable things in the capital." "The personal maid of the daughter of a big family is quite familiar with fashionable things, especially the fabrics, ornament styles, patterns and so on related to women.

"Since that's the case," Qingyuanhou didn't have an opinion, "just let her live in the Begonia Courtyard, take the two little maids to do needlework, and then find a rough mother-in-law to call her, and she is not allowed to leave the courtyard without anything special." "Begonia Courtyard is the most remote small courtyard in the inner courtyard, with only five or six rooms, which is quite far from the other courtyards. It just so happened that Ruqiu lived there to do embroidery work and raise the fetus, so as not to be embarrassed if there were guests in the mansion.

"Uh-huh," Ji Shi couldn't agree with this, "such a fox girl, Yi'er, you rarely see her, anyway, she can't wait for you now that she has a body." , I don't have to complain, do I?"

In front of his parents, Qiu Yiran was still embarrassed to talk about Ruqiu's pregnancy, nodded indiscriminately, and picked up the contract on the table that Ji brought back from Meizhuang to read. Ji was sulking just now, and when he took the contract out to see, their father and son came over, so they didn't have time to put it away.

The more he looked at it, the more Qiu Yiran felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong. After a while, he could only sigh with emotion: "Yin Mingze is only thirteen years old, which is really good." From the strict wording of this contract, it can be seen that he has a calm and cautious temperament, and he is sophisticated and tactful, but he does not look like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy at all.

Ji pouted: "What can he do if he can't get it? No matter how talented he is, he can only nest in Zhuangzi for the rest of his life, and he can't participate in the scientific examination." "It's impossible not to be sour in his heart, his two sons are very smart, but unfortunately, the Qiu family doesn't seem to have a heritage of reading, and they are sleepy as soon as they pick up books. Qiu Yiran is okay, she barely passed the Xiucai exam, but Qiu Xiran has not even taken the exam as a child at the age of sixteen, and she doesn't even want to go to the school.

Qingyuanhou also doesn't like to read, and he doesn't like those sour readers, but he doesn't feel anything. It was inconvenient for them to enter the court as officials in the early generations of the Qiu family, and now they are not allowed to be the emperor's blue eyes, otherwise there are channels for the sons and daughters of the noble to enter the court as officials, where do they need to participate in the scientific examination?

Qingyuanhou and his son were about to leave, when Qiu Yanran, who was angry, suddenly rushed in and shook the beaded curtain on the door crackling.

Qing Yuanhou's face immediately put down: "What does it look like? It's really getting more and more unruly!" R1152
