Chapter 31: Talent
Full five plus, ten plus, broken five into ten. One by one, one by one, five to four, one to nine, one to one......
After reciting the mantra to Mrs. Gu, Qingshu said: "Grandma, I already know how to memorize the mantra, you can teach me to plan now!" ”
Because she was not around Qingshu twice when she was beaten, even if Yuan Shanniang was driven back to her parents' house by her now, Mrs. Gu was not at ease, so she stayed at home to take care of Qingshu.
However, at the end of each month, it is necessary to take stock according to the rules. Mrs. Gu didn't worry about Qingshu, so she didn't go to the store, but asked the three shopkeepers to send the account book over.
When she saw Mrs. Gu crackling the abacus, Qingshu was so envious that she shouted to learn. Old lady Gu can't wait for Qingshu to learn more economic things, but don't treat gold and silver as dung like Gu Xian.
Mrs. Gu first taught Qingshu the formula, and asked her to memorize the formula. Unexpectedly, it only took half a day for Qingshu to memorize the mantra to a good degree.
Mrs. Gu was overjoyed, and immediately began to teach Qingshu to plan the plate.
In his previous life, Qingshu had never touched the abacus. I don't know why, she has a very familiar feeling when she picks up the abacus. The addition and subtraction methods that Mrs. Gu came out of her mind as soon as the answer came out. This abacus is naturally pulled quickly.
Mrs. Gu was overjoyed: "Good, good, good, it seems that my obedient is very talented in arithmetic." "Mathematics is a compulsory subject for entrance exams, and now there is no need to worry about this one.
Qingshu was also pleasantly surprised.
Old Lady Gu smiled and said with a serious face: "Qingshu, you can't be complacent because of this. Talent is important, but hard work is even more important. Otherwise, no matter how good your talent is, it's useless. ”
Qingshu nodded and said, "Grandma, I know." ”
While the grandfather and grandson were talking, they heard outsiders replying that Gu Heping was asking to see him.
The smile on Old Lady Gu's face suddenly disappeared.
Gu Heping came to intercede this time: "Mother, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days." Mother, I want to go and pick up Shanniang back. He felt that since Qingshu was no longer in trouble, the last incident would naturally pass.
Old Lady Gu asked, "Do you know that Xiao Yuan scolded Qingshu for being a thief girl?" ”
Gu Heping was stunned for a moment, and then denied it: "Mother, there is no matter, this must be someone malicious slander." ”
A complicated look flashed in Old Lady Gu's eyes, but she quickly recovered: "So, haven't you heard her scold Qingshu like this?" ”
Gu Heping said categorically: "No, never." ”
Mrs. Gu smiled, and the smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes: "Since you are reluctant, then take the two children to Yuan's house to accompany her for the Dragon Boat Festival." ”
Such a lie is coming out of her mouth, what else can she hope for. If you didn't give birth to yourself, it's useless to treat him well. At this moment, Old Lady Gu was completely dead to Gu Heping.
Gu Heping was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he said earnestly: "Mother, Shanniang, she already knows that she is wrong. Mother, just forgive her this time! ”
Old Lady Gu said lightly: "I don't want to say the same thing a second time." Also, there is nothing important to do in the future. ”
Gu Heping panicked: "Mother ......"
Old Mrs. Gu didn't want to see her again, and when she saw that he didn't leave, she asked the maid to invite him out.
Qing Shu was in Mrs. Gu's arms, and deliberately said with a worried face: "Grandma, what if your uncle and aunt hate you?" ”
Old Lady Gu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, grandma has her own arrangements." ”
Qingshu nodded. With her grandmother's ability, these two people can't hurt her if they have precautions: "Grandma, I want to let Mother Zhong continue to teach me literacy tomorrow." ”
"Let's rest for a few more days!"
Qingshu shook his head and said, "No need, I'm already fine." "There's nothing to do, it's boring.
Old Madam Gu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell Mother Zhong later." "This kid is so diligent, not to mention the school in Kaofu City, even the Jinling Girls' School is no problem.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu's heart moved.
Avoiding Qingshu, Mrs. Gu called Mother Zhong: "How about letting Qingshu take the Jinling Girls' School?" "There are also many women's schools in Jinling, but Jinling girls' schools belong to the best and best girls' schools. It would be nice to be able to go there to study.
Mother Zhong didn't answer this, but said, "Old lady, I heard that my aunt and grandmother are going to the capital next year. "If you really decide to go to the capital, you don't need to think about where to go, because it's a waste of time to think about it.
Mrs. Gu didn't want Gu Xian to go to the capital, but it wasn't okay if the husband and wife had been separated for too long.
Two days later, Gu Xian came to pick up Qingshu.
Seeing that Mrs. Gu disagreed, Gu Xian said: "Mother, the day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, I want to take Qingshu back to Peach Blossom Village for the Dragon Boat Festival." ”
It's okay to be in the county on weekdays, and if you don't go back to the festival this holiday, your in-laws will definitely have opinions. When the husband knows, he will be embarrassed.
Old Lady Gu nodded lightly.
Qingshu hugged Mrs. Gu and said, "Grandma, I'll come over to accompany you when I return to the county." ”
Old Mrs. Gu was originally a little sullen, but when she got this, her mood suddenly improved: "Okay." ”
Gu Xian was a little resentful. Her daughter used to be the most clingy to her, but now she is reluctant to be close to her.
Qingshu took the maid into the back room to pack up her things.
Gu Xian hesitated, but still said to Mrs. Gu: "Mother, Heping has gone to find me." ”
Old Lady Gu's face suddenly sank: "What, you want to intercede for that poisonous woman?" ”
"Mother, I was also very angry when Qingshu was beaten. It's just that she is the mother of wealth and jewels. It would be repugnant to divorce her for this. ”
Old Lady Gu glanced at Gu Xian, and said a little weakly: "Qingshu was beaten like that, you don't want to be angry for her, but intercede for that poisonous woman." If Qingshu hears this, you think about how sad that child should be. ”
Gu Xian didn't want to care, but Gu Heping begged her twice: "But it's not a matter to be stiff like this!" Let Heping take the two children to Yuan's house for the holiday, what does it look like. ”
Old Mrs. Gu just wanted to speak, but she saw Qing Shu standing at the door: "Good ......"
Gu Xian's heart trembled slightly: "Qingshu, why are you back?" ”
Qingshu said as usual: "Mother, I want to bring some pen and ink back." "When you go back to the countryside, you can't delay your studies.
Gu Xian breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Qingshu didn't hear what she said just now: "Whatever you want to bring, you can bring." ”
Qingshu nodded, then turned around and went to pack his things.
Old Madam Gu was worried. Obviously, Qingshu heard what he said just now. If Qingshu cried, then the matter passed quickly. But Qingshu seemed to be nothing, which showed that these things were taken to her heart: "Don't interfere in this matter, I will deal with it." ”
If Gu Xian continues like this, the mother and daughter will be separated sooner or later.
"Got it." Although he hated Yuan Shanniang's viciousness, this incident was caused by Qingshu after all. Otherwise, she wouldn't have cared about it.
On the way back, Gu Xian took Qingshu's hand and said softly: "Qingshu, when you come back from Peach Blossom Village, don't go to Gu's house again." She was afraid that Qingshu would live in the Gu family again, and the mother and daughter would become more and more alienated in the future.
Qingshu lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "Uncle doesn't see each other all day long, and my cousin and cousin never come to the main courtyard." If I don't go to my grandmother, she will be very lonely. ”
Gu Xian opened her mouth, but finally sighed and said, "When you come back after the festival, you should go to the Gu family to accompany your grandmother!" ”
