"I saw it today, too." Qi Qizhu thought of the Qi Bai painting he saw today, and his dress was not something that ordinary people could afford, but he didn't care much about these, "I saw that Baishuang was very close to her, and I just hoped it was a good one." ”

"Who are you talking about?" Qi Basong found that he couldn't interject, shouldn't he, it stands to reason that he is always the one who is exceptionally well-informed.

"Sister Baishuang's fifth cousin." Qi Jiuli replied, "Brother, last time Aunt Mu went to Ruyi's study, didn't she see the eldest lady of the Fang family and Qi Bai's painting, did you think it would be ......?"

Qi Jiuli's words Qi Qizhu understood, "Maybe." ”

"Hey, you're not interesting enough, what kind of dumb riddle to play, could it be? What could it be? Qi Basong stood in front of Qi Qizhu and Qi Jiu with the basket at once, and his expression was very good, and if you don't say it, I won't let it go.

"Is there any news about Shi Wen's relatives recently?" Qi Qizhu asked.

Qi Basong was stunned for a moment when asked, why did this topic turn to this all of a sudden, but he still shook his head, "I haven't heard of it, it shouldn't be, otherwise there will be no news in the Fang family's private school." ”

"Everyone is more concerned about Brother Shi Wen's affairs than their own." Qi Basong sneered slightly, and there were not a few people who had a relationship in the private school, and he would not be good in general, human nature, but the dog's legs were over, and he felt that it was an eyesore when he saw it.

"It seems that the Fang family is cautious this time." Qi Jiuli said, "I was a little strange before, why the Fang family married Ruyi Study, maybe it has something to do with Sister Baishuang's family, maybe it is because I know the origin of Sister Baishuang's family." ”

"Brother Shi Wen and Sister Baishuang's cousin are going to get married?" Qi Basong is not stupid, and after listening to it for a while, he somewhat understood, "So Sister Baishuang's family is very powerful?" ”

"Maybe." Qi Jiuli replied, "Otherwise, Aunt Mu wouldn't have said that the eldest lady of the Fang family would have spoken to Sister Baishuang's mother with a gesture of goodwill." ”

"Then Brother Seven, you won't be a son-in-law in the future, right?" Qi Basong exclaimed in surprise.

"Nonsense." Qi Qizhu looked at Qi Basong with a headache, "Uncle and aunt are not such people, in this case, don't blurt out, if you are heard by outsiders, you will lose the face of the three families, and don't let people know that you are a showman, otherwise the face of the Fang family's private school will also be lost by you." ”

"Seventh brother, you have changed." Qi Basong clutched his chest and looked at Qi Qizhu with a deeply hurt expression? "How nice were you to me before? Now, just because of the pro-family? Where did you leave me? Say it yourself. ”

"That's enough." Qi Qizhu pushed Qi Basong's face away, "Go home to cook and eat?" Hurry up. ”

A bowl of sweet and sour tenderloin successfully made Qi Basong happy, and verbally forgave Qi Qizhu and Qi Jiuli? and said that he would help secretly inquire about Fang Shiwen's recent situation.

"I'll talk about it tomorrow." Qi Qizhu explained? After all, tomorrow Aunt Mu will go to Ruyi's study to get an accurate reply.

"Oh, then I'll ask after Ming'er meets Aunt Mu." Qi Basong immediately understood the meaning and patted his chest to reassure.

After Qi Basong left, Qi Jiuli looked at Qi Qizhu and asked? "Brother? What are your plans for the days ahead? ”

"After the autumn harvest, we went to live in the town and came back for the New Year, and the house was not rented out yet, nor was it rented? We lived by ourselves, and Hachimatsu told him not to run around. Qi Qizhu said? "I missed the recruitment examination of Fang's private school in November this year, and I will take the exam again in June next year."

"What about you, brother? Is it to stay in Fang's private school to prepare for the township exam? Qi Jiuli asked? "Didn't you say you needed a better gentleman?"

"Fang's private school went to invite a great Confucian, I heard that people have been invited out of the mountain? In the future, I will teach Xiucai students at Fang's private school? Cope with the township test. "Qi Qizhu replied? "There are a lot of talents in the Fang family's private school examination, but the number of people can be lifted is not much, and inviting people here this time may change history."

"So brother is going to stay?" Qi Jiuli asked.

"Let's see in a few days, the focus is still on our family affairs now." Qi Qizhu touched the top of Qi Jiuli's hair and said, "There is no end to studying, and if you start a family, you have to start a family first, you may have to work hard, you also know Baishuang's temperament, she is not a good idea, and you can already take charge of it before you know it." ”

"I don't know whether to be happy or sad." Qi Qizhu looked at Qi Jiuli's eyes were a little moist, "How did our family get up and become what it is now, it's only been more than half a year, and my brother knows that you have grown up all of a sudden after you woke up." ”

"I didn't dare to imagine that we would become like we are now, able to speak and do things in an orderly manner, and all we think about is how to earn money for our family."

"But we Jiuli are as kind as ever, to our family and relatives, I am very relieved, but I am a little disappointed, you no longer need me to shelter you from the wind and rain in front, but you are planning for me in front of me." Qi Qizhu felt it, and raised his head with a smile, in order to suppress the tears that wanted to fall.

"Brother is actually a little useless, only those things that can't be eaten." Qi Qizhu's voice was a little choked, when his father and mother went, he was actually confused, although he firmly knew in his heart that he had to raise his brother and sister, but he didn't know what to do, the only thing that could get money was to copy books, but copying books couldn't pay for his own shackles.

He knew how many taels of silver he would need to go forward to study, he thought about giving up, he had thought about dropping out of school to work in the field, but he quickly dispelled it, he couldn't just farm, after all, he was already a child, and he must get the name of Xiucai, and then be a teacher, with the land at home, he can always pull his younger siblings to grow up.

But these plans dissipated when Qi Jiuli learned to make charcoal and earned the first pot of gold, he really didn't expect his sister to make money, and it almost didn't cost to make charcoal.

Because Charcoal met the people in the town again, he entered the Qiuwei restaurant as an apprentice, and then became the bookkeeper, Qi Qizhu didn't expect his sister to be so talented in arithmetic, and he didn't know it before, after all, Qi Jiuli didn't need to settle accounts at home.

Although Qi Jiuli never talks about the hardships in the Qiuwei restaurant, what she says is the good place, but Qi Jiuli can get the trust of the shopkeeper of the Qiuwei restaurant, how much hard work and ideas she has put in, Qi Qizhu can't imagine.

Qi Jiuli's change suddenly brought his family up, and everything the family should do was arranged in an orderly manner, Qi Qizhu was even a little incredulous, although he was the eldest brother, the family didn't seem to need to rely on him all of a sudden, he also had some losses, but more of a sadness.
