Chapter 75: Greed (1)

After Rudie finished eating the pastry, Qingshu asked her to sit on a low stool and asked with a smile: "Rudie, the second sister will tell you a story, do you want to hear it?" ”

Just ate two pieces of delicious mung bean cake, Rudie will be in the right mood: "I think." ”

Qingshu told Rudie the story of Cao Zhi's elephant.

Qingshu told this story fascinatingly, not to mention butterflies, even Jiao Xing listened to it with relish.

After telling this story, Qingshu said with a smile: "Rudie, is the story told by my sister good?" ”

Rudie grinned and said, "It's good." ”

Seeing the innocent smile on Rudie's face, Qingshu's heart was sluggish. Lowering his head to absorb all his emotions, Qingshu smiled and said, "If you like a butterfly, then my sister will tell you another story." ”

When Zhang came over, he saw that Qingshu was teaching Rudie to recognize words: "This is Lin, Lin is our surname......

Gu Xian put down the clothes in her hand and said with a smile: "Brother and sister, you are here." ”

Zhang nodded and looked at Qingshu: "Hongdou, are you teaching Rudie to recognize words?" ”

Qingshu nodded and said, "Yes." The third aunt, Rudie is very smart, and she quickly memorized the words I taught. ”

Zhang was very excited and said, "Qingshu, can you teach Rudie more to recognize some words?" ”

Seeing Qingshu shaking his head, Zhang was a little disappointed.

Qingshu smiled and said, "Third aunt, I don't know many words now." If Rudie wants to learn in two years, I will teach her then. ”

This is just an excuse, she thinks Rudie is too small. Teach her now, and wake up tomorrow and forget about it. Rather than that, it's better to teach again in two years.

Zhang was very happy, took Rudie's hand and said, "Rudie, thank you for your second sister." ”

Rudie didn't know why Zhang was so happy, but she still said, "Thank you, second sister." ”

Zhang's came over this time to ask if Qingshu still needed to be taboo, and he didn't want to do it again last time.

Gu Xian smiled: "She can't eat chili peppers yet, you can just fry two light dishes, you don't have to deliberately do anything for her." ”

"I remember that Red Bean likes to eat fish the most, and I'll make her a steamed fish later."

Peach Blossom Village is next to the river, so fish is also cheap. The people of the Lin family eat fish almost every day.

Qingshu is not a picky eater now, as long as it is not spicy and exciting: "Third aunt, you call me Qingshu in the future, don't call me red beans anymore." ”

Zhang said happily: "Okay, it's called Qingshu, and it will be called Qingshu in the future." ”

The lunch was also very rich, full of a large table of dishes, half meat and half vegetarian. However, Qingshu only ate steamed fish and fried beans, and did not touch other dishes.

Webster deliberately sandwiched a piece of red and bright goose meat and put it in a comfortable bowl: "Come, this goose meat is delicious." ”

Seeing Qingshu's face, Zhang hurriedly said, "If you don't eat, will you give it to the third aunt?" ”

Seeing Qingshu nodding, Zhang took the goose meat away.

Merriam-Webster said, "What's the matter with you, kid, didn't you love meat the most?" ”

Gu Xian was afraid that Qingshu would say something unpleasant, so she hurriedly said: "This kid hurt his spleen and stomach by eating the wrong thing before, and he hasn't recovered yet." The doctor explained that now he can only eat light. ”

Wei felt that Qingshu was raised too delicately, and it was okay to eat like her family Rutong.

Mrs. Lin said with a straight face: "What are the words of eating?" ”

Webster suddenly didn't dare to say anything.

After eating, Wei and Zhang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Gu Xian and Qingshu were called into the house by Mrs. Lin: "The paper at home has run out." Lezu's husband has assigned two articles, which will be handed in tomorrow. Qingshu, you can evenly distribute some paper for Lezu. ”

Qing Shu knew that the old lady couldn't help but refuse as soon as she opened her mouth, and said in a muffled voice at the moment: "I have to practice calligraphy myself, so I can only give twenty pieces of paper to the eldest brother." ”

The old lady thought for a while, and felt that twenty sheets were almost enough: "I'll send them to your eldest brother later." ”

Back in the house, Qingshu counted twenty pieces of paper and handed them to Jiao Xing: "You send this to the eldest brother's room." ”

Lin Lezu has a separate room.

After Jiao Xing left, the mother and daughter were left in the house. Qingshu deliberately said: "Mother, why didn't grandmother even let go of a few pieces of paper and took them away from me!" ”

It takes less than an hour to go back and forth from here to the town, and if there is really a shortage of paper, send someone to the town to buy it. It's clear that she wants to take possession of the paper when she has it.

According to her heart, she is a person who doesn't want to cheapen the second room at all. But if she objected, it would make a big fuss, and in the end her mother would have to be accused of not being able to teach children.

For Gu Xian's sake, she could only endure it.

Gu Xian said angrily: "What are you talking about?" It's just that there is no paper. ”

cough, her mother didn't know that these people in the Lin family had no precautions at all. It seems that it is better to start with my grandmother.

Lin Lezu looked at the paper sent by Qing Shu, and his face was a little complicated. These papers are indeed a few grades higher than those he used.

Rutong whispered: "Big brother, you go and beg your grandmother to let her send you to the county seat to study." ”

Seeing that Lin Lezu was silent, Rutong said: "Big brother, how can the gentleman in the town compare to the county seat." If the uncle didn't go to the county seat to study, he wouldn't be able to pass the exam. If you lose your fame, you can't marry your aunt. ”

Lin Lezu scolded in a low voice: "What nonsense? Uncle can be admitted to the show, only by relying on his own talent to learn. ”

"If the uncle is also studying in the town like his father, do you think he can be admitted to Xiucai?" After a pause, Rutong said again: "Big brother, even if you have the talent to learn, you have to have a famous teacher to guide you, otherwise you will be ruined like your father." ”

Lin Lezu was silent in an instant.

Rutong said: "Big brother, I am also good for you." ”

She thought very well, Lin Lezu would definitely live in Gu Xian when he went to study in the county seat. In this way, she has an excuse to go to the county seat from time to time.

Lin Lezu clenched his hand and said after half a ring: "I'll tell my grandmother later." ”

The corners of Rutong's mouth grinned. As long as the grandmother speaks, the eldest aunt will definitely not object.

When Mrs. Lin heard Lin Lezu say that she wanted to go to the county seat to study, she didn't agree. Although she loves Lin Lezu very much, this is a very important matter, and she must discuss it with the old man.

Old Lady Lin pondered for a moment and said, "The gentleman in the county must be more knowledgeable, but the cost of going to the county seat to study is also high. ”

Mrs. Lin said: "When Cheng Yu was studying, a year's bundle was twenty taels of silver. Our family can afford this fee now. ”

"It's not just the restraints, but also the food and clothing?"

Mrs. Lin said her plan: "Let Lezu go to live with Chengyu's daughter-in-law, anyway, her place is spacious." In this way, the cost of food and accommodation is also saved. ”

Old lady Lin nodded and said, "This matter still has to be agreed by Chengyu's daughter-in-law." ”

"Let Lezu live with her, what does she disagree with?" Gu Xian is the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, if she doesn't need to mention it herself, she will take the initiative to let Lezu go to the county seat to study.

Old lady Lin is a face-saving person: "That house is Chengyu's daughter-in-law's dowry, and we can't force her if she doesn't agree." Wait a minute, tell her about it. ”

Old Mrs. Lin nodded: "Okay." ”

Even the people belong to their Lin family, and the dowry is naturally their Lin family.
