Chapter Twenty-Eight: Apprenticeship
A few days later, a gentleman surnamed Ye came to the house, Mr. Ye was about fifty years old, with a peach hairpin on his head, a thin face, a beard on his chin, and a white-washed long shirt.
"Yue'er, hurry up and come over to greet Mr.!" Jiang Shi shouted as he looked at his stunned daughter.
Qin Yue walked over slowly, bowed perfunctorily, and pouted and shouted, "Hello, sir!"
Qin Sanye on the side frowned displeasedly.
Mr. Ye is a well-read poet and a talented artist. He took a lot of effort and a lot of personal connections to invite him. I never thought that my daughter would be so ignorant and snub him. If Mr. Ye gets angry, it won't be good if he leaves.
Qin Sanye thought about it and reprimanded: "Yue'er, how does your father usually teach you?
Qin Yue said disapprerovingly: "Dad asked Mr. to come back, and he didn't discuss it with his daughter, do you know if his daughter is willing?"
When Qin Sanye heard this, he turned white with anger, pointed at his daughter and scolded him regardless of it: "Are you still reasonable? Please ask Mr. to teach you for your own good, your mother is very sad because you refuse to go to the clan to study, so I went to invite Mr. Ye to come to the house." That is, Mr. Ye is willing to give our Qin family face, and if he changes someone else, do you want to invite him?"
Jiang felt sorry for her daughter, and whispered to her husband, "Third master, if you have something to say, the child is still young......"
Qin Yue shrugged his shoulders indifferently, ignored his father's reprimand, and said to Mr. Ye: "Let's talk about it first, I'm a little stubborn, if Mr. is not sure to teach me as a student, leave as soon as possible, I will offer Cheng Yi and show my heart." β
Qin Sanye was so angry by her words that he wanted to vomit blood, he didn't expect that his daughter, who had always been obedient and sensible, would be so unreasonable to Mr. Ye, which was really a slap in his face.
He couldn't help but want to slap his daughter a few times on the spot, but he was grabbed as soon as his palm was lifted.
Mr. Ye put his hand down, his face was still smiling, his right hand pinched the "eight" character and stroked the beard on his chin, looked at Qin Yue and said, "There are no students in the world who can't teach well, only gentlemen who can't teach." The fifth young lady is so tall that it is rare in her old life!"
Qin Yue was taken aback, and couldn't help but carefully look at the white-shirted old man in front of him.
He looks no different from an ordinary literati, but when you look closely, there is a slight difference, and he seems to try his best to hide his wisdom and edge, trying his best to play the image of a good gentleman.
He actually acted very well, but unfortunately what he said was not what a good gentleman should say.
Qin Yue was almost certain that this Mr. Ye had come to the Qin Mansion for a purpose.
Who is he and what is his purpose?
Qin Yue only wanted to scare him away with an unreasonable image, but she didn't expect the other party to come prepared, but she was afraid that no matter what tricks she used, this person would not leave.
In that case, it's better to keep him......
Seeing that Mr. Ye was not angry, on the contrary, he was still very happy, and his hanging heart finally returned to his stomach, and he hurriedly laughed and said: "The little girl is playing badly, so Mr. will laugh." She's just a little smarter than ordinary children, and where she's 'tall', Mr. praised it!"
Mr. Ye laughed.
Qin Yue saluted him in a regular manner, and his tone was much more respectful, "The student was offended a lot just now, and please Mr. Haihan! I hope that Mr. can do his best to give the student what he has learned!"
The big difference in attitudes before and after surprised the three people present.
Qin Yue winked mischievously, "Just now, it was just a little joke with Mr. just now!"
When Mr. Ye heard this, he smiled even more heartily.
Qin Sanye also laughed with him.
Jiang touched his daughter's head with relief.
Qin Yue said sweetly: "Father, the apprenticeship ceremony should be prepared more solemnly, it can be regarded as a daughter to compensate her husband!"
The third master and his wife couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this.
The Jiang family arranged for Mr. Ye to live in Ru Yaxuan, who lived in the outer courtyard, and set a daily morning to teach at Haoyue Pavilion, and the apprenticeship ceremony was held five days later.
Qin Yue must use these five days to find out Mr. Ye's true identity.
If he is really a great traitor, then she also has a way to sabotage the apprenticeship. As long as there is no etiquette for a day, she is not a serious student of the other party.
It's just that the time is a bit short, and I don't know if Qin Fen can find out.
The fourth lady, Qin Yuan, returned to Qin's house at the end of the next day, and she didn't care about picking up the gifts she brought back from the Su family, so she went to Qingli Pavilion.
Aunt Su is now in bed all day long, except for Mama Zhang, who is close to her, she no longer trusts others.
When the mother and daughter saw each other, they couldn't help but hug each other and cry.
After crying, Su told his daughter what happened that day in detail.
Qin Yuan, who has been a human being for two lifetimes, heard the clue from the Su family's words, and couldn't help but tighten his nerves, "You said, is it the Qi family in the fifth room who made the food?"
Su Shi nodded and said, "Yes, the dim sum made by Qi Shi is beautiful and fragrant, sweet but not greasy, which is just right for my appetite." The old lady loves me, and every time Qi makes a snack for her, she will leave a copy for me. Besides, I let Mama Zhang also test it, it is an ordinary assorted hibiscus cake, and it is not harmful to pregnant women. β
Qin Yuan didn't believe that it was a simple accident, so after thinking about it and asking, "Then why did you fall because of dizziness? Where did all the people who served around you go?"
Su Shi turned his mouth towards Nan Shuyuan, "Mama Zhang went over there to get the moon example, Chunxiang sent spices to the old lady, and Xia Tao went to the outer courtyard. β
"What is Xia Tao doing in the outer courtyard?"
Su Shi blushed, and was silent for a long time before saying, "Your father hasn't come to me for a few days, so I want Xia Tao to go to the outer courtyard to see what is going on." β
"Auntie, you're so confused. You don't care what your father does now, you just give birth to the child peacefully, and you will have your benefits in the future, why do you have to fight with the person in Nan Shuyuan for a while? Alasββ"
Qin Yuan didn't know what to say for a while.
My aunt was interested in my father, but my father didn't treat my aunt the same way. Just like last time, although she wanted to harm Qin Yue, she hurt herself, her father not only didn't care about her own life or death, but also didn't care about her aunt's life or death, and let their mother and daughter suffer in the bitter cold courtyard, if it wasn't for the fact that the aunt was pregnant, I was afraid that the two of them would still be locked up in the bitter cold courtyard. Can my father ask half a question?
Reliving a life, she has understood too much.
The entire Qin family, that is, the aunt, is sincere to her. But my aunt doesn't have any skills, so she can't help her at all.
You have to rely on yourself!
Seeing that her daughter had been silent, Su couldn't help coughing, and changed the topic to ask her about the situation in Su's house.
Qin Yuan patiently told her about the people and things of the Su family.
Su Shi laughed when he heard this.
