Chapter 601: Engagement (1)
The school is on holiday, and Qingshu is busy for a few days and has a holiday. However, the holiday does not mean that the shop is idle, the shop has to take inventory and then practice calligraphy, painting and reading, and Qingshu is so busy that his feet do not touch the ground.
Lin Fei saw Qing Shu coming out of the study and said, "Girl, Young Master Le Wei is here." β
"When did you arrive?"
Lin Fei said, "I arrived half an hour ago, and I didn't get through it for fear of disturbing your painting." β
"Where is it now?" β
Lin Fei said, "It's in the front yard!" When the second girl saw him, she said a few words and asked the fourth young master to accompany him, and he came back. β
An An is not familiar with Lin Lewei, and he used to see him out of etiquette. The two had nothing to say, so they exchanged a few words and left.
Qingshu snorted, and went to the front yard to find Le Wei.
At this time, Le Wei looked at Brother Wen'er's seventy or eighty percent of the new clothes and the furnishings in the house, and couldn't help but say, "Father and mother have always been worried about you, and now it seems that the second sister takes care of you better than we thought." β
Brother Wen nodded and said, "Let my father and mother rest assured, the second sister and the fourth sister are very good to me." β
The fourth sister started to treat him badly, and then slowly accepted him. But it would be nice to have a smile on his face.
Qingshu happened to hear this, walked in and said, "Brother Wen, you have to call the third uncle and third aunt like me." β
Brother Wen pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
Qingshu said: "There are no rules, there is no circle. They are your parents, and this is an implementation that can never be changed. But since you have already passed to the big house, you should change your words, otherwise what will others say in the future? β
Brother Wen hung his head.
Le Wei played a round game, "It's all my fault, I misled Awen, and I should be punished." β
Qingshu didn't want to reprimand Brother Wen in front of Le Wei, after all, a five-year-old child also wants to save face.
Le Wei handed over the silver ticket to Qingshu, "Second sister, my family happened to buy two hundred acres of land some time ago. So for the time being, you can only make up these, and you take the money first. After my father comes to the capital after the spring of next year, I will give another one when the time comes. β
Qing Shu glanced at him, took the money and said, "You don't need to take any more money for the time being, this silver is enough for Brother Wen'er's expenses for two years." β
Brother Wen'er's monthly bundle costs ten taels of silver. In addition, food and clothing, carriage and horse expenses, and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are all great expenses. Of course, the main thing is that Qingshu uses good things, and the cost is naturally more. Therefore, Brother Wen'er's four hundred taels of silver a year is not enough, so Qingshu has to put money stickers inside. However, some accounts don't have to be so clear, just get by.
Le Wei smiled and said, "That's good." β
Qing Shu said to Lin Fei and the others, "You all go out, I have something to say to the second young master and the fourth young master." β
Lin Fei and the little guy who was waiting for Lewen all walked out.
Qingshu looked at Le Wei and said, "Rudie wrote to me to find someone to help send his fiancΓ© to study at Baitan Academy, do you know about it with the third uncle?" β
Le Wen couldn't help but say in a lost voice, "Second brother, are you mistaken?" β
Le Wei ignored him, but said to Qingshu, "I know." However, we only found out on the third day after the letter was sent, and my father lost his temper for this reason. β
"Who instigated the butterfly?"
Le Wei said with a cold face: "Mrs. Wan Jia." Dad has already negotiated with Wan Jia, and when the third sister marries, he will let Wan Hancai divide it. β
Qingshu asked rhetorically, "Do you think it's useful?" β
"That's no way, you can't quit your family, right? Not to mention that I and Wanjia can't afford to lose this face, and the third sister doesn't want to. β
Le Wei said: "Father Qing's meaning is that when they are separated, Wan Hancai will go to Fucheng to study, and the third sister should not be affected anymore if they are separated." β
Oh, Qingshu said, "You can live here with peace of mind." If you want to go out and have a look, let Uncle Miao follow, he is familiar with the capital and will not get lost. β
"Okay."
After Qingshu left, Le Wen couldn't help but ask, "Third sister really asked the second sister to find someone to send that Wan Hancai to study in Baitan Academy?" β
Seeing him nodding, Le Wen couldn't help but say, "Is the third sister's brain broken?" All the students of Baitan Academy have passed the exam, even if the prince goes to study there, he has to take the exam! β
"So strict?" Le Wei shook his head and said, "I don't even know about it, and the third sister doesn't know it anymore." β
"But the second sister knows everything."
Le Wei said with a smile: "Who is the second sister?" In our entire Taifeng County for hundreds of years, there has been such a smart girl as the second sister, how can the third sister compare with her. β
The two of you said a word, and soon it was between lunch.
The kitchen brought the food over.
Le Wei looked at the food on the table and couldn't help asking, "Didn't they tell you to come in to eat?" β
Le Wen shook his head and said, "Grandma Gu doesn't like me and doesn't want to see me." β
At first, he was very aggrieved, but later Qingshu was a little ashamed after telling him the reason. It's just that apart from Gu Zhai, he has nowhere to go. Although there is a house in the Lin Mansion, except for the porter and a few or two sprinkling women, there is no one else, and he does not dare to live there. Fortunately, in addition to not wanting to see him, Old Madam Gu never made him sad.
A few days later, Qing Shu heard that Baitan Academy was also on holiday, so he said to Jiang Fangfei, "You have a message with Fu Jingene, saying that I have something to tell him." β
Jiang Fangfei's heart was shocked, "Girl, is it good news or bad news?" So I can get him ready. β
Qingshu played a dumb riddle, "It's not good, it's not bad." You don't need to change the place where you meet, just set it in Qinxiang Garden! β
This answer is equivalent to not saying.
Old Madam Gu also couldn't wait to see Fu Jingene and see if it was really as good as Qing Shu said, "Qing Shu, I asked An An, and she said that Bai Tan Academy had a holiday yesterday. Qingshu, you also let me take a look at him to see what he looks like? β
Qingshu shook his head and said, "Before the Tong test, he was not suitable to appear in our house, and I asked my grandmother to be patient for two months." β
Mrs. Gu said, "Although I haven't been filial yet, I just let him come to the door as a guest and not propose marriage, why can't I?" Qingshu, it's not that he can't appear in front of people because of something. β
Qingshu couldn't cry or laugh, "Grandma, where do you want to go." If he commits a crime, can he still study in Baitan Academy? β
"Then why can't he come?"
Qingshu said, "It has nothing to do with him, it's my problem." I've offended some people, and if he came to my house, the people behind him might have troubled him. He's going to be out next February and I don't want to affect him. β
Old Madam Gu's face changed, and she hurriedly asked, "Qingshu, who have you offended?" Why don't you tell me about such a big thing? β
Qingshu smiled and said, "It's a person with a bit of a back in the family, but don't worry about it when he finishes the exam." β
"Don't give me a sloppy look, tell me who you offended?"
Qingshu said vaguely, "It's just that someone fell in love with me, but I didn't fancy him." I'm afraid that this man will hold a grudge and won't dare to touch me, so I'll be angry with him. But this is just my speculation, and maybe people have forgotten about it a long time ago. β
Old Madam Gu asked, "Is it a powerful person?" β
Qingshu shook his head and said, "It's not a powerful person, it's an ordinary official eunuch." Don't worry, grandma, I'll take care of it. β
