In the bedroom of the main room of Xingchun Hall, bright candles are burning. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the Liu family finished washing, he was only wearing a concubine-colored middle coat with long black hair, leaning on the bed and reading a book, waiting for Su Jinzhu's arrival.

After a while, I heard the lips guarding the door shouting, "Master, you are back." Then the door in the room was pushed open, and Su Jinzhu strode in. Liu Shi looked up at him and said with a smile: "Master has gone to see Ai Ge'er?"

Su Jinzhu walked to the table, lifted the hem of his clothes, and sat down in front of Liu: "I've seen it." ”

In the morning, when Suai came, they were chatting happily about poetry, and only gave him the gift that belonged to him that he had brought back from outside, and had lunch together.

He planned to check his homework after finishing the meal to see if Ai Ge'er was attentive during his absence, but he was lazy, but he heard someone report that Wu Ansheng from Qingzhou and Wu Steward heard that he was returning and was waiting outside to greet him, so he had to put this matter down first, and went to see Steward Wu from Qingzhou, and the matter of checking Su Ai's homework has been delayed until now.

Liu got up and got out of bed to pour him tea, and said with some complaints: "The master is really, as soon as he came back, he went to school to take Ai Ge'er's homework, how about it, the result is satisfactory to the master?"

"Barely so. Su Jinzhu took the tea that Liu poured for him and took a sip, "It's more than enough than the top." Don't spoil him too much on weekdays, especially when it comes to studying, you should discipline him strictly. ”

When Liu heard this, he was a little unhappy, and said, "Who is Shang? Who does the master want to compare with? Is it the son of my brother and sister-in-law? How can we compare with them?"

A few questions in a row made Su Jinzhu's face sink and he didn't speak. Liu continued: "Their son is in the capital, there are famous teachers to teach, and there are excellent classmates to learn from each other, what does our Ai Ge'er have? ”

"Mr. Liu is also a Jinshi, quite knowledgeable, and he is more than enough to teach Ai Ge'er. ”

Liu sighed: "Mr. Liu's knowledge is good, but when he is old, he often has a sickness and let the students take vacations, and he has already taken four or five vacations in three months. Mr. Liu also understands his physical condition and has revealed his intention to quit and go home. ”

Su Jinzhu thought for a while and persuaded: "Then let's invite another better one, don't we." ”

"The old man said lightly. Liu said, and also sat down at the table, "Our children know that although they are diligent and studious in reading, they are really inferior in talent, not to mention that they are not as good as the big house, and the son of the third room, even Brother Shao, who lives in our house, is not comparable." There are many famous teachers in Jiangnan, and there are more outstanding students, how did Ai Geer stand out from so many people and win their favor. ”

"Then I'll please!"

"What is the master going to invite?"

"I'm ......" Su Jinzhu was speechless for a while when asked by Liu. Yes, what did he take to invite, he himself has no official position and no position, does he want to pull up the big banner of the Wenchang Marquis Mansion again? It's just that he has not been able to return to Shanzhou for so many years, and I think others can also see his embarrassing position in the Wenchang Marquis Mansion. Even if he really makes a fuss about the Hou Mansion, others may not pay for it.

He also thought about learning from those rich businessmen and asking for a lot of money, but although he was not shy in his pocket, he really couldn't come up with too much money.

"So, what does Madame say?"

Liu Shi slowed down, and Fang said: "A few days ago, the third sister-in-law sent someone from Qingzhou to send the season to the seventh girl, didn't the steward who came to ask the master for peace in the afternoon?"

"Madame wants to ......" Su Jinzhu understood what the Liu family meant as soon as he heard it, and the steward named Wu Ansheng came to him in the afternoon to invite him to ask for An, and euphemistically mentioned to him the matter of returning to Beijing.

"Exactly. Liu nodded, "I don't know what the old man thinks?"

To tell the truth, when Wu Ansheng mentioned this to him, he was also very moved, but thinking of the attitude of the old lady in Beijing towards him and the relationship between his biological mother and the old lady, he was very likely to live a life of grievance and anger after returning to Beijing, and he couldn't help but dispel the idea of returning to Beijing a little.

Liu and Su Jinzhu have been husband and wife for more than ten years, and when they saw Su Jinzhu frowning and looking at the teacup in his hand, he knew what he was afraid of, so he opened his mouth to persuade: "The concubine knows that the master is taking care of the old lady, and I am afraid that we will not have a good life after returning to Beijing." Only this time is different from before, this time we went back to Beijing at the suggestion of the third sister-in-law, which means that if we go back to the capital, we will get the help of the third room. At that time, the old lady will be somewhat restrained in the face of the third room, even if the old lady does not plan to converge, can she still stand by and watch when the third room sees it?"

Su Jinzhu asked, "How can Madam be sure that the third brother and sister-in-law will help when the time comes?"

"If it was a change in the past, the concubine would not be so sure. But now it's different. Liu said with a smile, "How much the third room will help us is all tied to one person." ”

"Madame mean the Seventh Niece?"

"It's the Seven Girls. Liu nodded with a smile, "Yun Jiao is the pearl of Sanfang's palm, as long as she cares about what she likes, Sanfang has no reason not to be thoughtful for her." ”

Su Jinzhu was silent, he had never liked Su Yunjiao's pampering, and he even felt that his third brother and sister-in-law spoiled him too much. Since Su Yunjiao came to Shanzhou, he often wrote to his third brother in Qingzhou, persuading him not to spoil Su Yunjiao too much. But the third brother always replied to him left and right, and never mentioned this matter, thinking that he didn't take his words to heart.

Now, he wants to take advantage of the third brother and third sister-in-law's pampering of Su Yunjiao, which he is very unaccustomed to, how can he not feel awkward.

Liu Shi looked at his expression and knew that he must be awkward in his heart, so he persuaded him: "How the third brother and sister-in-law raise their daughters is their own business in the final analysis. Although the master is the brother of the third master, he is only an outsider for the third room after all, so why worry too much about it, and recruit the suspicion of the third room. ”

didn't want to, but Su Jinzhu said: "Of the five brothers, that is, the third brother has a better relationship with me, and he took care of me a lot when he was young, so I can't watch the third brother continue to be confused." If he spoils his seven nieces like this again, he will break into a catastrophe sooner or later with the temperament of his seven nieces. ”

What does it have to do with us whether she gets into trouble or not? Liu Shi naturally didn't say this, shook his head and said: "Master, what he said is wrong, the seventh niece is no longer the seventh niece from before. Now she is much more measured than before, and her temperament is much more restrained. ”

"Madame mentioned this, I haven't asked yet, what happened in the two months that I was away?" Su Yunjiao's change he noticed in the morning, when he gave her "The Female Ring", he originally calculated that Su Yunjiao would not lose her temper and leave with a cold face, but she didn't expect her to accept it and thank her. Such a change was really unexpected by him.

Liu smiled and explained: "Actually, nothing big happened, but when the sixth nephew left, she chased after her, but she didn't catch up, and she got sick when she came back, and it was like this after she got better." Then he said: "I had an old illness some time ago, and she also sent me pear cream, and when she saw that I was using it, she sent a few bottles." And she's been getting along well with Yun Rou Yunyou lately, so I think she's really improved. ”

"But, Yunyou......"

"It's just a bickering between sisters, and it's worth the master's attention. Liu said with a smile, "Don't worry, master, she is good to Xiaoyou, send this and that, but if she has it, there is no one who will not be given to Xiaoyou." On the contrary, it was Xiao You, who was stubbornly frozen there, refusing to get along with her. "This kind of temperament is really like a master.

"This ......"

"What is in front of us now is a great opportunity, does the master really plan to let it go?" Liu said softly, "I have also talked to Wu Ansheng's family, as long as we are willing to return to Beijing, then it is not difficult for the master to find an errand in Beijing." I know that the old man has always wanted to be a good official and serve his family and country, but he has been suppressed by the old lady and has no chance. This time, the three rooms are willing to help, but will the master choose to give up?"

Although he had always had this idea before, after so many years in Shanzhou, his heart gradually faded, and he had long given up this unrealistic idea. He understood that as long as there was an old lady, there would be no day for him to come out. But when he went back to participate in the poetry meeting, Mr. Cheng's words made his idea of giving up a long time ago revived.

Mr. Cheng read his article, listened to his opinions, and finally said, it's a pity, if you are an official, you must be a good official for the country and the people.

It's a pity, it's a pity, these three words have been echoing in his heart, he has been in the Jinshi back then, if it weren't for the old lady who ordered him to leave Beijing, he stayed in Lanzhou for so many years, he will now step into the officialdom and become a useful official for the people in Tianqi. It's a pity, it's a pity.

Seeing that Su Jinzhu's expression changed a few times, Liu Shi seemed to be very moved and almost kicked the door, so he continued: "Besides, besides, besides, ......"

"Besides, Madame, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. Su Jinzhu listened to her hesitation and couldn't help asking.

"Besides, there are many famous doctors in the capital...... The concubine, the concubine, still wants to give the master another child. The further he said, the quieter Liu's voice became, and in the end it was almost like a mosquito screaming.

After speaking, the Liu family saw that Su Jinzhu didn't speak, and looked at her directly, and suddenly his face turned red, and he said in shame: "The master said something, don't always stare at the concubine!"

Liu's red cheeks were even more charming under the reflection of the candlelight, and Su Jinzhu, who saw it, was particularly happy, got up and took Liu's into his arms, and whispered softly: "Rong Zhen, I've suffered you all these years." "Su Jinzhu knew about the old imperial doctor back then, Liu's old illness has always been a boulder in his heart over the years, and her illness could have been cured, but because he lost the opportunity.

"As long as the master is there, Rong Zhen doesn't feel bitter. Liu shook his head and replied softly.

"I've decided, let's go back to Beijing. Su Jinzhu said, he decided, even if it wasn't for himself and for the Liu family, he would return to Beijing. Liu has followed him for so many years and has suffered too much, this time he must compensate her well, no matter what the price he pays after returning to Beijing, he will ask a famous doctor to cure her illness.

"You don't have to ...... me"

He knew what Liu was going to say, it was nothing more than to persuade him not to make this decision for her. So Su Jinzhu interrupted Liu before he finished speaking: "This move is not only for my wife, but also for myself." Originally, I had already given up thinking of being an official, but when I went back to the poetry meeting and won Mr. Cheng's appreciation, I hooked this idea again. When I came back, I learned that there was such a good opportunity, and my husband also moved to go back and fight. ”

Seeing that the Liu family wanted to persuade again, Su Jinzhu decisively: "I have made up my mind, Mrs. doesn't need to persuade me anymore, tomorrow I will go to discuss with the people sent by the third brother about returning to Beijing." ”
