The sky was gray, and soon there were raindrops falling and tinkling.

Qingshu stood at the window, watching the rain like a curtain outside the window. It's already October, and it's going to be the New Year in two months, and time flies so fast.

At this time, Lin Fei came in and said, "Girl, Shuangrui has sent an invitation. ”

Qingshu was a little surprised: "Shuangrui sent an invitation?" ”

If you have something to do with her, you can come to her directly, and what kind of invitation will you send. Thinking of this, Qing Shu smiled and said, "Is it Mr. Nie who came to Beijing?" ”

Lin Fei nodded, "Yes." Shuangrui said that Mr. Nie arrived in Beijing half an hour ago, and as soon as he arrived at Goldfish Hutong, he wrote an invitation for him to send over. ”

After speaking, she asked worriedly, "Girl, do you think Mr. Nie is here to withdraw from his family?" ”

Qingshu shook his head and said, "I don't know." But I've heard Jing Ene say that Mr. Nie is a very open-minded person. In the past, when Mrs. Nie was in Luoyang, she wanted to tell her niece and granddaughter to him, but Mr. Nie stopped her. ”

"Why? Isn't it good to kiss and kiss? ”

Qingshu said with a smile: "First, the old lady's maiden niece and granddaughter is a concubine, and he thinks that woman is not worthy of Jingene; Second, he felt that as an elder, he could give advice on marriage matters, but he could not make decisions for them. ”

Lin Fei suddenly had a good impression of Mr. Nie: "Not only open-minded, but also very open-minded." ”

Qingshu nodded and said, "Yes, you go and tell Shuangrui that I will go to the appointment tomorrow." ”

Mr. Nie will meet in Qinxiangyuan, which is the most prestigious teahouse in Beijing, and Mr. Nie is not only fond of alcohol, but also likes to drink tea.

At the appointed time, Mr. Nie took Shuangrui into Qinxiang Garden.

As soon as he entered the door, Shuangrui saw Jiang Fangfei standing at the door: "Jiang Guard, where is the girl?" ”

"The girl is waiting upstairs for the old gentleman."

After speaking, Jiang Fangfei sat down and made a gesture of please: "Old man, you go this way." ”

Qingshu was waiting in the box, and when he heard footsteps, he hurriedly came out to greet people.

Mr. Nie is relatively tall, his hair is all white, and his body is a little rickety. The face was covered with wrinkles, and the uneven twists and turns like mottled marks on the wall crawled all over the face, leaving traces of time.

Qingshu respectfully welcomed the person into the box.

After sitting down, Mr. Nie took out a glasses case from his arms, and looked at Qingshu after putting on his glasses.

Qing Shu is wearing a red dress today, combing a small Suiyun bun, and wearing a red gold flower bead on her head, and a pearl tassel the size of a grain of rice hangs down from the step. Just move the tassel and it shakes, flashing with dazzling light.

Taking off his glasses, Mr. Nie nodded and said, "It's beautiful, worthy of Jing Ene." ”

Lin Fei's hanging heart suddenly let go. Mr. Nie is Fu Jingene's mentor, and it will be very troublesome if he disagrees with this family business.

Qing Shu smiled and said, "Old man, Jing Ene is not the kind of superficial man who only looks at his appearance. ”

Hearing this, Mr. Nie asked, "Then what kind of person do you think he is?" ”

Qing Shu didn't answer this question, but said, "You are his teacher, you should know him well." ”

Mr. Nie snorted and said: "He is highly talented and hardworking, he has suffered a lot since he was a child, and he knows how to warm and cold people, no accidents, and he will be able to become a great weapon in time." ”

"Miss Lin, I think you were the accident."

Lin Fei couldn't help but tense her nerves when she heard this, which was exactly the same as Wanjia's attitude towards Rudie back then.

Qingshu smiled and said, "What the old gentleman means is that if Jing Ene marries me, his career will not go well after he marries me, it will be my reason." So if after quitting his family with me, his career is still not smooth, then who will blame him at that time? ”

Mr. Nie was not led astray by Qingshu, but said: "You know why officials don't allow women to enter the office. ”

"Yes. It's like a bowl of meat, there is only so much meat, and then a group of people will compete with them for food. ”

This is also the reason why she is just a small eight-grade secretary, but many officials are like great enemies. They are afraid that if this opening is opened, more and more women will become officials in the future.

Mr. Nie said, "Since you know, why do you insist on being on this errand? ”

Qingshu smiled and said, "There are so many whys, you can do it if you want to." ”

"Aren't you thinking about it?"

Qingshu hummed and said, "I asked for his opinion, and he respected me very much and supported me in making any decisions." ”

"If he respects you, you should think more about him. Miss Lin, you are a smart person. You should know that if you have been on an errand in the Ministry of Rites, it will definitely hinder his future. ”

Qingshu said unceremoniously: "If there is any hindrance to his future, he should say." Even if you are his teacher, you have no right to ask me to do anything on his behalf. ”

Old Mr. Nie squinted his eyes and said, "So you won't quit this errand?" ”

"I don't like people interfering in my business."

Old Mr. Nie stared at Qing Shu and said, "Even if you are dismissed, you have to insist." ”

"Whether to withdraw or not is a matter for me and Jing Ene, and you and Master Lan have no right to decide."

Nie Lao said first: "Miss Lin, we all hope that he is good, and we also hope that you can consider it from his point of view. ”

Qing Shu snorted coldly and said, "Good for him?" For his good, he is trying to find a way to get Jing Ene to quit his marriage with me, and then let him be the son-in-law of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Industry. This kind of good, Jingene doesn't dare to ask for it. ”

Old Mr. Nie's face changed: "What did you say?" ”

"Didn't Master Lan tell you that after Jing Ene retired from his family, he would let Jing Ene join the Gong family."

Old Mr. Nie's face changed slightly, but he quickly said: "Impossible, Jing Ene's marriage is not up to him." ”

Qingshu sighed and said, "Isn't there still you?" You are Jingene's teacher, how can you refuse if you want to promise Jingene? If you refuse, you will be disobedient to the division commander, how can a person who is not even disrespectful to the division commander be an official? ”

Old Mr. Nie shook his head and said, "I grew up watching Lan Nuan, he is a rigid and stubborn person, but he is not a person who tends to be inflammatory. ”

Qingshu said disdainfully: "How can it be inflammatory?" He did all this for the good of Jing Ene. If you enter the Gong family and get Gong Shangshu's help, you will definitely be able to rise to prominence, and Jing Ene will definitely be very grateful to him at that time. ”

Seeing that her expression didn't seem to be fake, Mr. Nie asked, "How did you know about this?" ”

Qingshu shook his head and said, "This matter was found out by Jing Ene himself." She was afraid that Master Lan would find someone to persuade me to take the initiative to quit my family, so she specially wrote to tell me. ”

Mr. Nie didn't drink any tea, and went out angrily.

Lin Fei frowned and said, "Girl, what if Old Mr. Nie insists on getting rid of Young Master Fu?" ”

"No, it won't. Mr. Nie, like his grandmother, was afraid that my errand in the Ministry of Rites would affect Jingene's future. He was just thinking about Jing Ene purely and had no malicious intent. ”

It's not like the eldest man of the Lan family who said that it was for Jing Ene's good, but he wanted to use Jing Ene's marriage to seek benefits for himself.
