Chapter 97 Reluctantly Invited
Youyi couldn't help but be a little annoyed when she saw that Aunt Cui was not in tune with her words and actions, especially in her upbringing of Brother Jin.
Seeing Aunt Cui looking at her cautious eyes again, the anger in her heart decreased a little, and she was only a little helpless. No wonder Aunt Cui has such an idea, with her vision and experience, she can only focus on the Jin family's family property.
"Men are ambitious in all directions, and my aunt shouldn't guide Brother Jin to only put her mind on the house. Brother Jin is very talented in studying, if he cultivates it well, he will have some achievements in time. Even without the Jin Mansion's property, he can live a good life on his own. Youyi patiently said to Aunt Cui slowly.
Aunt Cui said with a sad face: "Why haven't I thought about what the girl said beautifully? It's just that the master in the school is staring at Brother Han alone, as long as he learns it, he will talk about it, and he will work hard in one place if he learns. No matter how good Brother Jin'er's qualifications are, it is useless, and he is all delayed by that old immortal. "She doesn't look too stupid.
Youyi was silent when she heard this, and she continued: "I listened to the old lady's meaning that day, and I planned to let my wife take care of the house." Don't look at the wife who is kind on the surface, she is not harsh on the food and clothing of a few of you, but she holds a few of you out tightly. Especially Brother Jin, the slightest sign of emergence was trampled back. With what I know about my wife, how can she make Brother Jin have a big future? Right now, you are hugging the old lady's thighs, don't worry about getting married in the future, no matter what, as long as the old lady is still alive, she can help you find a good in-law. But what should Brother Jin do? She is your own brother, and you don't think much about him when she has benefits. Don't talk about it from afar, just say that the gift you gave the day before yesterday, why don't you see Brother Jin more than others? I'm not fighting for those things, I'm fighting for your heart! ā
This Aunt Cui can't talk much, otherwise she won't be able to listen to three sentences. Originally, Youyi's anger had gone down, and this time it came up again.
"Auntie, shut up!" Youyi couldn't help but scold, "What bastard words did you say yourself!" At present, there is no one else in this room, but it is not neat under the window, and there are people listening to the corner of the wall at the door. Aunt Fang Cai said well, as long as one sentence spreads, not only will my aunt not survive, but even Brother Jin will be affected! After speaking, he pushed the window open, and saw that there was no half of the figure around, and his face looked better.
Aunt Cui saw that Youyi was living a nourishing life by the old lady's side, and now she has a plaque from the emperor, and she has some status in the Jin Mansion. If it had been put on the front line, she would not have dared to speak like this if she was wronged, but now she can't help it.
"Auntie is talking about it, sisters and brothers are the same gifts, why does Brother Jin want a big head?" Youyi asked rhetorically.
"Why can this be, you crawled out of a mother's belly." Aunt Cui blurted out, "Don't listen to what I said, girl, you and Brother Jin are the closest people." She always said such words in front of Youyi, and she heard that Youyi's ears were calloused.
"Auntie, I'm afraid that who doesn't know that Brother Jin and I are concubines?" Youyi laughed angrily.
Aunt Cui immediately fell silent when she heard this, her face full of grievances and apologies. Youyi guessed what she was going to say next, it was nothing more than nonsense like she was sorry for Youyi's siblings and letting them be inferior when they were born.
"Auntie, listen to what I say next, and you have to go away." Youyi hurriedly spoke, not giving her a chance to speak, "Brother Jin and I are both surnamed Jin, and we are connected by blood with my eldest sister and Brother Han, even if we break the bones, we still have tendons." Although the wife did not want to see the children of the concubine, she had to accommodate them due to the rules of etiquette. In my father's generation, there were three brothers, all of whom were born to the old lady. The other two aunts are concubines, and they are both married far away and don't come back often. Besides, the second and third rooms are not a concubine, only the two girls are born and raised by aunts. Aunt think about it, why is this? ā
Although Aunt Cui always deviates and doesn't act and speak very often, she really understands it when she calms down and thinks about it. The old lady and the two wives are both iron-fisted, so many aunts have not even given birth to a son! In this way, it seems that the eldest lady is not ruthless enough.
Youyi saw that she seemed to understand what she heard, and then said: "My aunt stays in the house all the year round, and I don't know what the life of other people is like. When I went to Huizhou, I heard and saw some. But where are rich and noble, how can there not be a few aunts? The housemother is kind-hearted, and the aunts' lives are better, otherwise...... It's not good to wait all day long, just find a reason to send it out! I don't see anyone who is working against the wife of the main house for a concubine, it's a big deal to spend a few dollars to buy another one, and he is younger, beautiful and obedient, and there are not so many bad things.
My aunt thinks that my wife can't fix you? It's just that my wife sees more than you and thinks farther than you. My aunt is also an old man next to my father, and my wife knows that you don't have any heart to control it, so it's better than getting a little fox who doesn't know what temperament is. Therefore, my aunt just messes around as before, not salty, not light, not worried, nothing to eat, no worries, nothing to do, less idle teeth, less talking, less listening, less angry, isn't it good?
If the Golden Mansion has always been run by his wife, I think it would be a good thing. Auntie think about it, although my wife doesn't like you, she always has to avoid some father's attitude. Changing to the second wife and the third wife, who can take care of these? Besides, the eldest lady is in charge, so she naturally doesn't want to be caught by others, so she has to get along with you and Brother Jin in terms of face. In the future, the two rooms will be moved over, and there will be many people talking and miscellaneous things, and the aunt must hold her mouth so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. As for Brother Jin, my aunt just threw her hand away and left it alone. ā
"I do everything according to the girl's wishes, but I can't let me leave Brother Jin'er's affairs alone." Aunt Cui nodded again and again when Youyi said, "This time I invited the girl over to be about Brother Jin." I heard that Mr. Bookkeeper's abacus is very good, and I want Brother Jin to go to school for an hour. Anyway, he doesn't have much homework, and he is idle when he is idle. ā
"Auntie, can you tell your father this?" Youyi hurriedly asked. She originally thought that Aunt Cui's words were just thinking about it, but when she heard the meaning of this, she had even thought about it.
"I don't.
"Don't I want to discuss it with you first?" Aunt Cui immediately asked.
Youyi breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, my aunt is not impulsive!" If my aunt told my father, Brother Jin would definitely be rejected by my father, and it would be the opposite when the time came. Without his father's favor, Jin Ge'er's situation can be imagined. ā
"Won't it?"
"The housewife dislikes the concubine the most, especially the eldest son, why is this? It's not that I feel sorry for the little family wealth when I split the family, but I am afraid that my concubine will have bad intentions and plot to seize the family property and make the whole family a mess. As long as there is such a scene, it will definitely hurt the vitality, and the whole family may be torn apart. You say, what would my father think if he heard his aunt's thoughts? Youyi really wanted to pry open Aunt Cui's head to see what was inside, and from time to time she would come up with an indiscriminate idea. If she were the Feng family, she would disdain to make a move, and if Aunt Cui continued like this, she would be able to play to death!
Aunt Cui's face changed when she heard this, and she was afraid after exclaiming, fortunately, the master did not come to her room in the past few days, otherwise the pillow wind would blow out.
"Thankfully, fortunately! No one else knew that the girl helped to talk to the old lady. I just want Brother Jin to know how to do a skill, and help me at home in the future, just eat with a mouthful of food. "If she had the heart to plan the Jin family's property for Brother Jin, Youyi wouldn't believe it.
After Youyi's lesson, she didn't have much hope, but she saw Youyi think for a while and nodded, "Auntie, wait for news." ā
Aunt Cui was overjoyed when she heard this, in the end, she was a brother and sister, no matter what she said, she still looked at Brother Jin in her heart. She saw that Youyi was leaving, and said while sending it out: "There should be a decent big girl next to you, you don't have to go out to socialize and slap your face in the future!" After speaking, he saw Chunhua waiting in the yard, and he didn't say anything more.
Youyi Bingxue is smart, so she naturally knows what she is referring to, but Quan Dang didn't understand it, and left with Chunhua.
Youyi went back to the East Cross Courtyard, went to the upper room to see the old lady first, and gossiped a few words before getting to the point.
"Old lady, my granddaughter has something she wants you to decide." Youyi stood up, walked to the old lady and knelt down, her face full of solemnity.
"Say it." The old lady didn't let her get up, and there was a little more worry in her eyes. No wonder the old lady is like this, this front foot has just come back from Aunt Cui's side, and the back foot has something to beg, and there is a good chance that it is related to the two of them! Relying on the love of the elders, they began to make things happen, and no one would be happy. The old lady looked at Youyi who was kneeling in front of her, and listened to her patiently, and felt a little uneasy in her heart. If this girl's begging was expected by her, it would be too disappointing for her.
Sure enough, as soon as Youyi opened her mouth, she was uncomfortable, "Old lady, I am asking for a favor for Brother Jin." ā
"Have you figured it out? It's too late to stop. The old lady's face was ugly, and Mama Lu next to her quietly waved her hand towards Youyi when she saw that the situation was not good.
Youyi bit her lip, paused and continued: "Just now I went to my aunt's side, and my aunt told me one thing, let me come back and beg the old lady. The gentleman in the accounting room is a good hand at planning, and the aunt wants to let Brother Jin go over to learn when he has nothing to do. It's not for the side, just for Brother Jin to have a skill in the future, and he can help one or two at home. ā
"You should go? Are begging me right now? The old lady's eyes were full of disappointment.
"My granddaughter should help Brother Jin, but she didn't agree to learn abacus." Youyi's words made the old lady a little puzzled, this should be down and didn't respond, what the hell is going on?
"I understand my aunt's careful thoughts, if she has bad intentions, no one will believe her, she doesn't have that mind. It's just that my aunt is narrow-minded, stingy in her actions and words, and often has such unpopular thoughts. At present, Brother Jin is the critical time for enlightenment, and it will inevitably be affected after a long time. Our Jin family has always been harmonious, not to mention orthodox and direct lineage, even with distant relatives in the side branches. Since ancient times, the young and the young have been orderly, and the descendants are different, and the fathers and sons often do not tolerate disobedience. After thinking about it, the granddaughter felt that it was not easy for Brother Jin to stay with her aunt! ā
The old lady's brow gradually relaxed, and her face softened.
"But my wife has a lot of things, and I have Brother Han to take care of in front of her, so it is obviously not suitable to take care of Brother Jin. The old lady has a spring and autumn season, and Brother Jin is too noisy to come. Youyi glanced at the old lady's face and continued, "The granddaughter thought about it and thought it would be most appropriate to let Brother Jin go out to study. ā
"Going to school?" The old lady was stunned.
"I heard that there is a academy on the outskirts of the capital, and its name is Qiu Shan. They recruit a batch of students every year, from the age of five to twenty. And I heard that the masters in it all have their own strengths, and students can choose the subjects and masters they want to study according to their preferences. Although the students who came out of their side were not very powerful during the imperial examination, they produced many unique and strange people. If Brother Jin can be admitted, it will be a big opportunity, and he can also let him go out to practice. ā
Qiushan Academy is very famous, and many sons of rich and noble families also study there. It's just that Qiushan Academy has special requirements for students, not only to have a good foundation and potential, but also to have a group of masters and children to take the exam together. Only when more than half of the masters saw it could they officially enter Qiushan Academy to study.
"Can Brother Jin be admitted?" The old lady didn't have much contact with this grandson, but when she came back from Huizhou this time to see him, she felt that it seemed a lot more pleasing to the eye.
"If you can't try, you won't lose anything." Youyi saw that the old lady was a little moved, and said, "It is most appropriate for the old lady to say this, so as not to give rise to right and wrong for no reason." ā
The old lady nodded, and agreed. The next day, the old lady really mentioned yƬ in front of the Feng family and everyone, and asked the boys in the family to go to Qiushan Academy to take the exam.
Brother Yu wanted to try it for a long time, but he was afraid that he would be hit if he couldn't pass the exam, so this time he naturally wanted to go with Brother Han, Brother Jin and Chang Cun. He estimated in his heart that if he couldn't pass the exam, the other people would have no play. It is a great joy to be admitted, and it will not be too embarrassing if you can't get a few people back together.
Jin Ge'er didn't know the details of Qiushan Academy, but he heard that there were many masters there, each with their own strengths, and it was much better than learning from the masters in the school.
However, Brother Han was a little reluctant, he heard that Qiushan Academy could not bring an entourage, and he still had to live there, could it be difficult for him to wait for him?
Feng was also a little reluctant, thought for a while and said: "Qiushan Academy is a good place, but there are many people there, and the entourage is not allowed to follow. Brother Han'er is not in good health, and he has a headache and brain fever half of the year and needs to drink medicine. I'm worried...... But the exam is also successful, and it's a big deal not to go. ā
The old lady nodded when she heard this, and Brother Yu and the others prepared to go.
