Speaking of Qian Manjiang, the atmosphere in the house became depressed again, Qian Sangui, Qian Yijin, and Qian Yixiu were all a little sad.

Wan Erniu saw that the owner of the family was sad, and quickly changed the topic, patted Qian Sangui on the shoulder and said, "Father-in-law, Aunt Xia is a good child, and she is the most virtuous and capable girl in Shili Eight Villages. My family is blessed to be able to have such a good daughter-in-law. ”

Hearing his words, Qian Sangui was really happy, and said, "It's not that I'm boasting, I can't find a more gentle and diligent girl than my Aunt Xia." ”

Wan Erniu nodded, and praised Qian Yixiu again, "Grandpa Wan also wants to thank Xiu'er, you sneaked into the mountain last time, if you hadn't said by the way to find my family, our two families would not have married so quickly." ”

Mr. Yu asked, "Could it be that there is an accident here?" ”

Wan Erniu told him about it, which made Mr. Yu laugh. said, "The old man's students are talented. ”

Qian Yixiu blushed and smirked. Xindao, it turned out that he hadn't found out that Wan Erniu, who didn't like to talk, turned out to be a sullen man, and praised all the children in the family, and praised the eyes of the third noble grandfather into a slit.

Taking advantage of the lively talk of those people, Qian Yixiu secretly said to Wan Dazhong, "Grandpa Wan means that I am Uncle Wan and Aunt Wan's little matchmaker." ”

Wan Dazhong bared his white teeth and smiled, "Well, it's a lot." ”

Qian Yixiu asked again, "Then why didn't you thank the media?" ”

Wan Dazhong was stunned and asked, "What do you want?" ”

Qian Yixiu thought for a while and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I think about it." ”

Wan Erniu was really happy, the road was upside down, and Qian Sanwu drove the ox cart back.

When he got home, Wan Dazhong helped Wan Erniu to bed, helped him wash his cough, and checked around the yard. I went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of decanting soup and served Wan Erniu to drink. complained, "Drinking too much and making mistakes, my father almost leaked his mouth." ”

Wan Erniu said, "Didn't Dad round up again, they couldn't hear it...... Hey, dad is happy, it's been eight years, and it's the first time we can celebrate the birthday of the little master. ”

Wan Dazhong sighed, "Anyway, my father won't drink so much in the future." ”

Wan Erniu glared and said, "Little rabbit cub, you dare to teach your father a lesson!" Seeing that his son looked at him unconvinced, he said, "Okay, Daddy won't drink so much anymore."

After breakfast the next day, Qian Yixiu dressed neatly and followed Qian Yijin to the study in the big courtyard. The two little masters walked to the front hand in hand, and Xiao Lei and Zizhu walked to the back with school supplies.

Now the dim sum room has moved to Xishan County, and Qian Manchuan and Qian Manhe have also gone to work in the county seat. Qian Manchuan is the big shopkeeper, and Qian Manhe is the second shopkeeper and accountant. Because Xiao Wang wants to take care of the child, Xu is pregnant, and both of them live in the countryside, so Qian Manchuan and Qian Manhe still drive the donkey cart home every day to live.

This side of the big courtyard is very quiet, because Mr. lives here, and the people don't dare to amplify the volume when they speak.

The lecture hall and Mr. Yu's bedroom are a suite, which is a lecture hall during classes and Mr. Yu's study when classes are not in class.

The room is relatively large, with bookcases, bookcases, and four small tables in the middle. The first two are embroidered by Qian Yijin and Qian Yi, and the last two are those who are listening to Sheng Xiaolei and Zizhu. Xiao Lei and Zizhu's small table was driven out by Old Man Cai with people yesterday.

The first class of the day was a writing class, Qian Yixiu left after half an hour, and Qian Yijin stayed to continue studying other schoolwork.

The era of Qian Yixiu's previous life was the "keyboard era", and after work, he used the keyboard to type words, and writing almost became people's collective memory.

In ancient times, it was different, and a handwriting was a person's face. Qian Yixiu is an adult, since she wants to calm down and learn to write, she naturally does a good job.

Mr. Yu was a little surprised to see that the female disciples spent more time concentrating than the male disciples, and they also understood his explanations more quickly.

When the time came, Qian Yixiu got up and bowed to Mr. Yu, and led the purple beads out of the lecture hall.

They walked to the shore of the West Lake, where a bowl-sized lotus leaf had grown on the surface of the lake, like a piece of green jade, gently undulating with the water waves.

Su Erwu was feeding the fish in the lake, and smiled at Qian Yixiu, "Sister is here." ”

Although Su Erwu and Su Sanwu are twins and look very similar, their respective characteristics are also obvious. It is that Su Erwu has a tiger tooth on the left, and Su Sanwu has a dimple on the right.

Qian Yixiu smiled at him and said, "The lotus leaves are really fragrant." ”

Su Erwu smiled, "It's really strange, this time the lotus leaves are much more fragrant than other lotus leaves." The lotus root of Fandi is really different from the lotus root of Daqian? ”

Qian Yixiu smiled, "It's possible." I heard that the grapes grown in the Western Regions are better than those grown in the Great Dry Regions. ”

Su Erwu nodded approvingly.

The sixth day of April is the eighth birthday of Qian Yijin and Qian Yixiu. Still as in previous years, one of them boiled a boiled egg in the morning.

Qian Yijin knocked open the eggshell and said, "I don't know why, I always think that the hard-boiled eggs for my birthday are better than other eggs." ”

Qian Sangui smiled, "That's because of the different moods." When you are one year older, you are one step closer to being a man. ”

Qian Yijin ate the eggs in his stomach and said, "Well, I'm a man, so I can protect our family, my mother and sister." ”

Qian Manxia was a little apprehensive and said, "The little one who has no conscience belongs to me to wash the most diapers for you." Originally, I had to talk about Aunt Hu, but now I don't even have to say that. ”

Qian Yixiu said with a smile, "My brother doesn't dare to take credit from Uncle Wan." ”

Everyone was happy when they said this, and Qian Manxia stomped her feet in shame.

Qian Sangui and Wu didn't think about making a big deal for their grandson and granddaughter, after all, they were still children, and they just had a good meal for their family in the evening. But Aunt Li and Qian Xiang from the county town actually came with their grandson Huwa. They first came to the third room to put down the ceremony, and then went to the Qian family's compound to have dinner with their father and mother, saying that they would come to the birthday banquet in the evening, and they would stay in the compound for a night.

The birthday gift was two children, a heavy silver lock, and a basket of pork.

Since this is the case, Qian Sangui said that he would invite his relatives to come to the banquet in the evening.

In the next morning, Qian Xiang and a few people came with Old Man Qian and Mrs. Qian, except for Qian Manchuan and Qian Manhe in the county seat, who came later, almost all the people in the big house and the second room came, but only Wang Shi did not come.

Qian Dagui's argument was that she was not in good health and was resting on the bed. Duoduo quietly told the secret, "My grandmother is not sick, she is angry." ”

Qian Yixiu asked, "What are you angry about?" ”

Duoduo Xiaopanyou shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Qian Mandie was a guest for the first time after the separation, and his face was a little happy. After listening to Duoduo's words, he glared at her, blamed her for being too talkative, and smiled at Qian Yixiu, "My mother is angry with me, just rest." ”

Qian Yixiu snorted secretly, Wang must be angry for Mr. Yu to accept himself as a disciple, but he was angry for not accepting Qian Yishan as a disciple. I feel that the third room is selfish, and I help my own girl but not my eldest brother's grandson.

Old man Qian and Mrs. Qian were also not happy, and began to count down the three expensive money as soon as they came.

The old man said, "Shanwa has done well in her studies, and she will be able to take the exam in the future, which is also a help for Jinwa." Can you talk to Mr. Yu and charge an extra one? One sheep is also driven, and two sheep are also herded. ”

Mrs. Qian also scolded with a crooked mouth, "What's the use of learning more from a girl?" I won't be someone else in the future. He used a crutch to crutches again, and said boldly, "Don't let her go, embroidering and doing housework at home is what a girl should do, let Shanwa go to school instead of her." ”

Qian Sangui had a headache, his lips were dry, but the old couple just couldn't listen.

In the end, he still thought of a way and said, "This won't work, it turns out that Master Zhang said that he would help Jinwa find a good gentleman in the county." Now Jinwa doesn't need to go to the county seat, so I asked him to help Shanwa find it, and tomorrow I was going to Baohetang to see a doctor, so I asked him to help. ”

Old man Qian nodded when he heard this, and said, "It's okay." Mr. Zhang is well-connected and will definitely be able to find a good gentleman. It is better for Shanwa to go to the county seat to study than to study in the countryside, meet more people, and broaden her horizons. ”

Qian Xiang smiled proudly, "The quality of Mr. is really important. My family Dongzi, the original husband said that he couldn't do it, and his brain was stupid. But since the shopkeeper Cui helped find the current Mr. Qiu to teach him, in less than a year of hard work, he passed his childhood this year. ”

Qian Dagui said with a happy face, "Exactly." Let Shanwa go to the county seat with his father every day, and come back together in the next morning. ”

After solving this matter, everyone was happy again.

Qian Sangui personally went to invite Mr. Yu to have a drink, but Mr. Yu refused on the pretext that he was tired. Wan Er Niu didn't come, only Wan Dazhong came.

Because of the two foreign men, Aunt Li and Wan Dazhong, Cheng Yue, Qian Mandie, and Qian Manxia, the widows and the separated women and young girls, did not serve at the table.

Cheng Yue ate in her own hut, and Qian Manxia led Qian Mandie to eat in her hut.

The next day, Qian Sangui was going to Baohetang and went to the county seat with Qian Xiang and Aunt Li. When I came back, I went to the big house. Master Zhang helped, and really found a good gentleman in the county for Qian Yishan.

That gentleman's surname is Wang, and he was also promoted in his early years, and because he had no money to run for office, he became a teacher. It is said that in the more than 20 years of his coaching career, there are dozens of students who have been admitted to Xiucai, and five of them have been promoted, and one has been selected as a jinshi, and he is one of the top good gentlemen in Xishan County. Many families want to send their children to study with him, including many wealthy families. But he is quite strict in accepting students, and they must pass his assessment. Because Zhang Zhongqi once saved his life, he made an exception and directly accepted the money and kindness.

When Wang heard this, he was crazy with joy. Hurriedly cooked Zhang Luo's meals in person, invited Qian Sangui to have dinner and drinks here, and asked Duoduo to invite other people in the third room to come.

Old man Qian was also satisfied with the third son's approach, and after Qian Yishan got out of school, he also asked him to kowtow to the third grandfather.

After that, the matter of building a house was put on the agenda. Now that the farmers are busy, not many farmers have spare time. In addition, Qian Yixiu mentioned that she wanted to build a better house, carve railings and paint buildings, and build a two-story embroidery building for her mother. Farmers can't build such a complex house, so they have to find someone who specializes in designing and building houses.

To say that Qian Sangui is really a good grandfather who spoils his children. He calculated the money earned by the Splendid Store and the money earned from selling lotus roots, fish and grain, and together there were a few hundred taels of silver, but they were all used up, and the old bottom of the four thousand taels of silver in the family was not used, so he agreed to his granddaughter's request to live in a good house.

He also blushed and told his family not to tell others what kind of house to build, especially his old father and mother, who knew that they would definitely make trouble, and a good house would not be able to live.

Wu was a little reluctant, but Qian Sangui made a decision, and she could only listen.

Hearing that his family was going to build a house, Mr. Yu also came over to put forward some constructive suggestions to Qian Sangui. Especially for the moonlight of the lotus pond and Huaguo Mountain, he hopes to build some distinctive buildings, which can be integrated with those landscapes, and not in vain such good scenery.

Finding people and negotiating prices were handed over to Qian Hua to handle, and within a few days, he found a Master Zhao. Master Zhao has more than 20 people under him, who specialize in taking over the business of large families. In the entire Xishan County, Master Zhao's team is the top construction team.

In mid-April, Master Zhao accompanied by Qian Hua came to the third room of the Qian family. Qian Sangui invited him to drink and invited Mr. Yu to accompany him, but Mr. Yu actually put down the shelf.

After the meal, Mr. Yu and Master Zhao, Qian Sangui, Qian Yijin and others visited the area where their family lives, the moonlight of the lotus pond, and the landscape of Huaguo Mountain.

During the visit, Mr. Yu and Qian Yijin both put forward their own opinions and requirements, Mr. Yu mentioned what he thought, and Qian Yijin mentioned most of the meaning of his sister.

After the turn, even Master Zhao was overjoyed, saying that if he waited until the lotus flowers were fragrant, or the peach blossoms and pear blossoms were all over the hillside, he didn't know how beautiful it would be. Build some pavilions and pavilions that complement each other, and plant some beautiful wood and qionghua, that is, the heavenly Yao Pond will fall into the mortal world.

Depending on what he meant, he should also design and build this place as his masterpiece.

Only Qian Sangui said something realistic and a little elegant, "We are mud legs in the countryside, and we can't understand things that are too elegant, as long as we can live, shelter from the wind and rain, and don't spend too much silver, it's done." ”

After sending Master Zhao away, the little brothers and sisters all went to Mr. Yu's study and looked forward to the bright future of Shengtaiyuan.

Qian Yijin mentioned again, "This area of our house must be very beautiful when it is built, and it is not good to call it the west of the village, so let's take a more elegant name." ”

Qian Yixiu thought the idea was good. The little brother and sister picked their heads and thought of many names, such as West Garden, Lotus Garden, Xin Garden, Wanghe Garden, Tingfeng Garden, Linhu Garden, etc., all of which were rejected by Mr. Yu.

He walked to the bookcase, picked up the pen, and wrote two big characters on a piece of rice paper - return to the garden.

He had already heard some Qian Yijin say how his mother looked forward to his father's return every day, and he was quite moved.

After the little brother and sister saw it, they all nodded in unison, this name is the most appropriate.

When he returned to the house, Qian Yixiu took advantage of Mr. Wang's inattention and secretly picked up the ink treasure that he casually threw into the wastebasket and put it in a basket for school supplies.

She intuitively felt that this big character was the real level of the old gentleman. And to teach their brother and sister calligraphy, it only used his skills when he left the tiles.

Mr. Yu saw Qian Yixiu's small movements, smiled and shook secretly, and did not demolish her. (To be continued.) )
