Sister Yun'er has to go to the pulp washing room to work on weekdays, so she can earn a lot of silver taels to pay off her debts.

Qin Li wanted to take out some private money and go to the merchant ship on the other side of the dock to have a look, so that she could buy some jewelry for Sister Yun'er.

The original owner just didn't want to tell the story of the thief in the family. But she was still very clear about what Moyu had stolen from her.

Because of this, the original owner asked Qinghe to help keep a key, and that key can open a special wooden box.

In that wooden box, there were many gold ingots, all of which had been quietly saved by the original owner.

The original owner once said to Qinghe, "My father and my mother trust the hypocrite surnamed Fu too much." I'm afraid they'll let that person take care of everything in my house in the future. Then I thought that I would save some gold and silver for myself, just in case I needed it. ”

"Sister-in-law, understand, miss, you can rest assured. This key will be kept in good hands. Qinghe swore an oath.

"yes, okay." The original Qin Li was very relieved and said:

"Save some gold and silver for yourself, no matter when, you don't have to be inferior to discuss with that hypocrite!"

Kiyoha put away the key and hid the small wooden box in a large box. As long as their master and servant don't mention it to outsiders, no one else will know about it.

in the bedroom.

Qin Li remembered very clearly, this morning, she also asked Qinghe to find the small wooden box containing gold ingots, and took out ten taels of gold from it.

She thought that she would use the six taels of gold to go to the pharmacy to buy medicinal herbs, so that she could prepare pills for her mother and help her mother cure her headache.

The other four taels of gold were taken to buy some jewelry for Sister Yun'er, and I had to buy the amethyst necklace that Sister Yun'er liked. In that way, Sister Yun'er is happy, and she will also feel happy.

But I was afraid that it would be too expensive, so Sister Yun'er refused to accept it.

If that's the case, she, the gift-giver, will also feel embarrassed.

In order not to feel embarrassed, Qin Li decided to buy an amethyst necklace for Sister Yun'er after careful consideration.

You must know that Yun'er's sister's mother only raised five pigeons in total. sent three to her to stew soup to drink, and only two were left to send a letter to He Chang, who was far away in the imperial city.

Those three pigeons, for Sister Yun'er, have an unusual meaning.

Sister Yun'er and Brother Chang'er are about to get married, and as their neighbor and mutual friend, she wants to send some intimate gifts to Sister Yun'er.

Just as Qin Li was pondering, Guo's sad words came from his ears:

"Yes, Yun'er and Chang'er are about to get married. After her father died, the child followed her mother all these years, but there was no less hard life. ”

"But no matter what, the hard life of their mother and son is coming to an end."

Qin Li raised his eyes to look at Guo Shi, and soon caught a glimpse of the gloom and self-reproach in Guo's eyes. It is not difficult to guess that Guo must have thought of her father's protégé, Fu Yu, because she mentioned Chang'er's younger brother.

That Fu Yu, although he was called "the first genius in Jiangnan" by the people here. But he, a window friend who is nearly a year older than Chang'er's younger brother, only got the sixth place when he went to the imperial city with Chang'er's younger brother to participate in the scientific examination.

You must know that Jiayu Mansion has been a champion since ancient times, and Fu Yu, the first talent in the south of the Yangtze River, went to participate in the palace examination and only won the sixth place.

How much does this make her father Qin Fuzi's face gloomy?

How embarrassing are you to the masters of Yuexi Academy?

But her father didn't say anything about it. After all, in her father's opinion, as long as Fu Yu is of good character, even if he goes to the tenth place in the exam, it will be fine.

The original Qin Li, after hearing that Fu Yu did not win the top prize, inevitably felt disdainful. You know, that person is just a vain name.

But her father's friend, Lin Fuzi's proud protégé, He Chang, is also Sister Yun'er's younger brother, but he is this year's Tanhualang!

Qin Li only heard Guo Shi say:

"You see, your father has taught so many students, and among those students, there have been many champions. But the bastard surnamed Fu he taught, but after going to the imperial city with Chang'er and them to catch the exam, he didn't even get on the list. ”

That person is useless, so he doesn't get hit. Qin Li really wanted to persuade the Guo family, she had nothing to do with that person, why bother to feel entangled because that person didn't win the top prize?

But she also knew in her heart that even if the person was no longer relevant to her, he was still one of her father's students. That person didn't win the champion, and other students taught by the master in the same academy, but He Chang won the champion.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is inevitable to think that Fu Yu, the student taught by her father, is not as good as the student taught by Lin Fuzi, He Chang is excellent.

"If I knew that bastard thing was so useless, your father might as well not teach him."

Just as Qin Li was thinking, Guo's words full of resentment came from his ears.

She had no choice but to persuade:

"Mother, they have all passed the exam, and there is no need for you to mention it again. Besides, that person's bad conduct, if he is the champion, and if he is lucky, he can serve in the Hanlin Academy, I am afraid that he will teach others badly. ”

Guo Shi said disdainfully:

"As for him, can he still serve in the Hanlin Academy? He really didn't have that blessing. There's something I almost forgot to tell you......"

Qin Li looked puzzled, "What's the matter?" ”

Guo Shi leaned close to Qin Li's ear and said in a voice that could only be heard by the mother and daughter: "Not long ago, didn't your Aunt Bai come over with Yun'er and send you three pigeons?" ”

"Hmm."

"I heard from your Aunt Bai that Chang'er would have been able to serve in the Hanlin Academy after gaining fame. But he wrote to Yun'er, saying that he was unwilling to serve in the Imperial City, because he didn't want to be too far away from his mother, who was your Aunt Bai, and his unmarried lady Yun'er. ”

Qin Li nodded knowingly, He Chang's so-called "mother" was actually his adoptive mother.

"Brother Chang'er must also know that because Uncle Bai is buried in Jiangnan, neither Aunt Bai nor Sister Yun'er will be willing to leave Jiangnan."

Yun'er, they are not from the land of Jiangnan. If they all leave here, when they wait for the Qingming Festival next year, they want to come back to sweep Uncle Bai's tomb, the distance is far away, and it is not very convenient.

Aunt Bai has been widowed for many years, and she took her biological daughter to open a pulp washroom, giving people pulp clothes and bed sheets, and finally pulled the child she and Uncle Bai adopted, He Chang, to grow up.

He Chang also studied and gained fame.

Now, He Chang can be regarded as getting ahead, and Aunt Bai will definitely be happy for He Chang.

But if He Chang took Aunt Bai to the Imperial City, in her opinion, Aunt Bai would definitely not follow.

It's just that Chang'er only dared to think so, but she didn't dare to mention it to anyone. As soon as I heard your Aunt Bai say that, I mentioned it to your father. Your father told your Uncle Shi about this, and it didn't take long for Yun'er to receive a reply from Chang'er, saying that he was about to return to Jiangnan to take office. ”
