Chapter 20 Shopping
The next day, Liu Qin got up early in the morning, the old lady was surprised, she didn't expect her daughter's learning momentum to be getting higher and higher day by day, and she didn't dare to drag her back legs, so she hurriedly ordered to set up a meal, accompanied her to eat, and told Cui Yu to carefully send her daughter to the front yard.
As soon as Jiang Li finished eating in the Moxiang Courtyard, Liu Qin rushed in, ran straight to him, grabbed his hand, and asked one after another: "Brother Ah Li, does your hand hurt?" Does it hurt? β
Looking at his sister's concerned eyes, Jiang Li's heart was warm, and he shook his head hurriedly, "It doesn't hurt, why is my sister so early today?" β
Cui Yu next to her smiled: "The girl cares about the young master, she is clamoring to come to see you before dawn, if it weren't for the slaves and maids to stop her, she wouldn't even go to the old lady, and she will go straight to you." β
"I wanted to come last night, but Sister Cuiliu didn't allow it, saying that it was dark and I couldn't run around, hmph, I won't talk to Sister Cuiliu."
Looking at Liu Qin's pursed mouth, Jiang Li smiled, poked her white and tender little face, and said: "Sister Cuiliu is right, children can't run around at night, besides, I'm fine, I started writing at the age of four, and after writing for so many years, yesterday's ones are really nothing." β
Saying it as if you are not a child, Liu Qin pouted in his heart, but for the sake of him helping himself so much yesterday, he didn't care about the small details of these words. Remembering that he said that he started reading at the age of four, didn't Mr. Zhang teach everything, so why was he so serious in class, and he couldn't help but ask in his heart: "Brother Ah Li, have you learned everything that Mr. taught?" β
Jiang Li nodded, "Well, my father has taught me before, my father is much stricter than Mr. Zhang, once I was lazy and didn't do my homework, he not only punished me for copying books, but also beat my handboard, and both of my hands were swollen for several days." β
Liu Qin shrunk his neck, he couldn't imagine that Jiang Li's father was so fierce, and it was better than his own father, and he was never willing to touch himself.
"Brother Ah Li, why do you have to go to class when you know everything?" It's good not to go to class, you can play freely.
Jiang Li remembered the situation when his father taught him in the past, he was nostalgic and melancholy, he held back the discomfort in his heart, and replied softly: "Mr.'s knowledge is very good, listening to Mr.'s lectures, it seems that I have seen my father again, and besides, it is no harm to learn from the past and learn the new, and it is always good to listen more." β
So that's the case, Han Guo has advocated virtuous and filial piety, and it was originally in everyone's concept that "one day is a teacher and a father is life", not to mention that Mr. has the shadow of Jiang Li's father, alas, he is still too much, for Jiang Li, even if he doesn't like that Mr. Zhang very much, he has to endure it, Liu Qin thought of this, patted his chest and promised, "Brother Ah Li, don't worry, Qin'er is not naughty anymore, and she will definitely listen to Mr. Lecturing." β
Since Liu Qin made this guarantee, for many days, Xuanlu has been fine, Liu Qin according to Mr. Zhang's requirements, serious endorsement, do homework, Mr. Zhang is not so strict with her, but it is impossible to achieve the same kind of pleasantness as Brother Hai, Liu Qin doesn't care, anyway, she hasn't changed her opinion of Mr. Zhang.
On this day, it is a rest day for home schooling, and it happens to be a rest day for Master Liu, Master Liu is very satisfied with the recent situation of the three children, and is happy to decide to fulfill the promise he made to his baby girl, take a few children out to play, Uncle Liu feels that the old father is too hard with a few children, and he wants to do his filial piety, and said to Master Liu: "Father, the children are small, and noisy, let the son take them there, finally take a day off, and the father will rest at home." β
Who would have thought that it would make Master Liu extremely unhappy, and he made a big noise, "Why, I dislike your father for being old, I can't walk anymore, and I can't even take a few children with me, hmph, don't get out of the way, don't get in the way here, you Lao Tzu and I can run around this Wucheng for two laps, not to mention that it only takes so many legs and feet." β
Uncle Liu just picked up a cup of tea, was scolded so much that he choked on a mouthful of tea, coughed for a long time, and then replied with a bitter face: "Yes, yes, yes, my son is wrong, my father is in full bloom and is in good health." β
Everyone in the room laughed, and Master Liu was satisfied.
Liu Qin and a few people heard that they could go to the street to play, and they were so excited that they couldn't find the north, only Brother Chao seemed to know that he didn't have his share, and looked at his grandfather and father pitifully, and then looked at his aunt and brother, and finally turned his head and threw himself into his mother's arms, sobbing and crying.
Master Liu was being sold by his baby girl around his neck, and when he heard the crying, he laughed, "Brother Chao, don't cry, grandfather will take you with you later." As he spoke, he glanced at Uncle Liu, looking like we can do it, we can bring four, which makes Uncle Liu cry and laugh.
Master Liu is an honest official, and he doesn't like a large group of people to hug him, so he went out with four children, and only brought two long-term and two small guys, Changxing and Dongxiang followed their respective young masters, and the other two long-term followers were responsible for taking care of Brother Chao'er, Liu Qin, free for her father to take care of.
Even if they were shopping, they didn't take the sedan chair and carriage, so they walked out from the side gate and then went south along the street. The whole building of Wucheng is divided into districts according to the east, west, north and south, the east side is the place where the government and the dignitaries live, the west side is the garden place of the rich businessmen and magnates, the south side is sandwiched between the east and the west, and naturally becomes the place where the shops are lined up and the trade is prosperous, and the various markets in Wucheng are gathered here, as for the north side, there are all kinds of gold nests, and it is also the place where the powerless and powerless and poor people are concentrated.
This time is Liu Qin's real shopping in this life, I have come out with my mother before, but I sat in the carriage and looked at the flowers, I only felt that Wucheng was big, lively and prosperous, and now I really integrated into it, only to know that Wucheng is really well governed, at least what I saw in front of me, everyone was smiling, there was a feeling of living and working in peace and contentment, the store business was prosperous, the stalls and vendors could also support their families, and the guests who bought things could also afford the silver, for ordinary people, in fact, these were enough.
Liu Qin has more admiration and love for his father. There are too many people, afraid of being scattered, Liu Qin has been held in his father's arms,
I really can't bear to feel that my father is working too hard, so Liu Qin leaned on Master Liu's shoulder very obediently, his eyes were wide open, and he looked left and right curiously, eh, I saw the candy man, I saw the cook cake seller (not Wu Dalang), and I also saw the woman who sold women's jewelry fat powder...... All kinds, everything.
Brother Chao'er is the youngest, and he is very curious about everything, he wants this and that for a while, and he turns the empty-handed long finger, Liu Qin looked at Brother Chao'er's rare appearance, and happily buried his head in his father's shoulder socket and smiled.
Master Liu saw that his daughter was happy, and his mood was even more happy, but he felt that his daughter didn't buy anything, and he was a little depressed, so he asked: "Qin'er, what do you want, tell your father, and your father will buy it for you." β
Liu Qin looked around and was about to shake his head, when he was suddenly attracted by a place in front of him, and pointed his little hand, "Daddy, I want to see that." β
It turned out that in front of a shop not far ahead, a platform was surrounded with cloth, and they were babbling and singing shadow puppet plays.
Mr. Liu hurriedly greeted the others, holding and hugging, and finally squeezed to the front with a few children, the shopkeeper was a discerning person, seeing that a few people were dressed well, he knew that there was some way to come, so he hurriedly came over and took some small ones for the master and the young master to sit on.
The stage has just opened, playing a rich family recruiting a son-in-law for their daughter, the family wants to recruit a good person, but the daughter likes the poor Xiucai, the parents resolutely disagree, claiming that if they want to marry a poor boy, they will leave home and never recognize each other again, the daughter resolutely left home for love, married to the poor Xiucai, and soon Xiucai went to Beijing to catch the exam, leaving his wife to live in poverty.
Year after year, year after year, the wife who stayed behind in the village every day looked forward to the prime minister, looking forward to Lang Jun's safe return, and finally six years later, Lang Jun finally won the champion, glory home, at the moment of meeting the husband but told sΓΉ her, three years ago he was not in the middle of the exile in Beijing, fortunately his later mentor Yu Shi is blue-eyed, not only to fund him to continue studying, but also to marry his daughter to him, now he is in high school, and has not forgotten the wife of the chaff at home, and got the permission of the father-in-law, especially back to pick up the original wife to Beijing to share the wealth.
At the end, everyone was happy, a husband and a wife, and everyone in the audience applauded. Liu Qin looked at it more and more unpleasantly, how could there be another Wang Baochuan, do you really think that you can be rich and noble together, looking forward to her husband's prosperity, it is better to fight for your own bright future.
