Chapter 941: Another Year (2)
While mentioning Gu Xian, An An also took the opportunity to ask: "Grandma, will Uncle Shen and his mother come to attend my uncle's wedding?" ”
When Old Madam Gu heard this, she couldn't help but look at Qingshu: "I haven't seen your mother for two years, Qingshu, is it okay for your mother to come to the capital to attend your uncle's wedding?" ”
Qingshu said with a smile: "I told An An before, you can decide this matter, you don't need to ask me." ”
An An did tell her this, but she was still not at ease without Qingshu saying it herself. Old Madam Gu said happily: "I just said that how can a mother and daughter hold a grudge?" ”
Qing Shu heard this and said directly: "Grandma, I definitely don't have time to help with my uncle's marriage, and Jing Ene and I will come over to drink the wedding wine on the day we get married." ”
If Gu Xian didn't come, she would come back to stay for a few days and wait for the happy event to be completed before going back. When Gu Xian came, she came directly to drink the wedding wine and did not stay here.
Old Madam Gu immediately understood the meaning of her words: "Qingshu, your mother ...... her"
Qingshu interrupted her and said, "Grandma, I got up early today and I'm a little sleepy now, so I'll go back to the house to rest if there's nothing to do." ”
Old Madam Gu sighed and said, "Then you go!" ”
An An couldn't help complaining after waiting for Qingshu to go out: "Grandma, I told you not to mention anything about mothers and daughters not holding grudges." My sister is willing to let her mother come to Beijing, not because she forgives her, but because she knows that you miss her. Grandma, why don't you listen!"
After saying that, An An chased out.
Mrs. Gu asked Mother Hua very uncomfortably: "Is it really my mistake?" ”
Mother Hua was silent and said, "Old lady, Mrs. Gu has been breaking your heart for the Lin family back then, and if you don't care, it doesn't mean that the eldest girl doesn't mind." ”
The second girl has a soft temperament, and after a long time, she may not be able to speak softly. But the eldest girl is very strong, and the things she decides generally do not change.
"Old lady, say something that doesn't matter. You better not let your aunt come to the wedding, otherwise something will go wrong, not only the girl and the aunt will complain about you, but the lord and the wife who is about to enter the door will complain about you. ”
She thinks life is fine now. Not only is Qingshu filial to An An, but Gu Lin is also filial and caring to the old lady. Miss Feng, who was about to enter the door, looked like she was also easy to get along with, but Gu Xian didn't have to think about it and knew that she would have to jump again.
Hearing this, Old Madam Gu's eyes turned red: "But I haven't seen her for two years, and I don't know how she can live?" ”
Mother Hua said: "Old lady, if you want her to wait for the wedding to let her come, even if you let her come to live for a while, it doesn't matter, but you must not say anything about mother-daughter relationship with the eldest girl." The eldest girl can't hear this now. ”
Old Madam Gu sighed and said, "Forget it, then let her come when the spring is open!" ”
An An caught up with Qingshu, took her hand and said, "Sister, don't be angry, don't you know what kind of character your grandmother has?" ”
Qingshu hummed and said, "I know, but it is impossible for me and my mother to coexist peacefully in this life." So, it's better to be far away. ”
An An hummed and said, "Sister, I'll accompany you to find Mr. Fu!" ”
Fu Ran is painting, painting peonies.
Seeing Qingshu walk in, she smiled and said, "Come, how about evaluating my peony?" ”
Qingshu is the best at painting peonies, and he can be said to be an expert: "The coloring is too light, and the peony color will be better if it is heavier." ”
Fu Ran frowned and said, "I think it's lighter and better." ”
Qingshu didn't argue with her, and said happily: "Teacher, you can draw as much as you think is beautiful, and you don't have to consider my opinion." ”
Everyone's preferences are different, and there is no uniform standard. Anyway, it's not about taking it out and selling it for yourself, it's mainly based on your own preferences.
Putting down the brush, Fu Ran said, "Qingshu, I want to open a shop that sells calligraphy and paintings, what do you think?" ”
Qingshu said with a smile: "Then it depends on whether the teacher is for interest or to make money." If you want to make money, unless you sell famous calligraphy and paintings, you won't make much money. If it's just for fun, it's okay to sell calligraphy and paintings. ”
An An said with a smile: "This house in the capital is so expensive, just the rent is a lot of expenses. Just rent a shop for your interests, it's not very cost-effective. ”
"If you can't make money, forget it."
She also has to provide for Fu Jingze to study, and she doesn't have much money on hand. Therefore, for the time being, there is no money to spare and open a shop to play.
Qingshu told Fu Ran a piece of good news: "I learned from Yayu that there is a tenant in Goldfish Hutong whose house will expire in February next year, and it has been confirmed that they will not renew the lease. ”
Fu Ran hurriedly asked, "How big is that house?" ”
Qingshu smiled and said, "The house you entered is just right for you to live with your junior." If the teacher is willing, we will pay a deposit first, and we can move in when the tenant moves out and someone will clean it. ”
Fu Ran was very happy and asked, "How much is a month?" ”
"The rent varies from year to year, so I haven't decided yet. Teacher, I'm inclined to buy this house. So I talked to Yayu and asked him to help make peace and see if I could sell it to the other party. If not, make a counteroffer then. ”
Fu Ran asked, "How much silver did the original tenant have a month?" ”
Hearing that the monthly rent was twenty-five taels of silver, Fu Ran was surprised: "Why is it so expensive?" ”
"Because most of the people living in Goldfish Hutong are official eunuchs, the security is excellent. And ordinary people want to rent someone as a guarantee, otherwise they won't rent it to you if they have money. ”
Fu Ran hesitated.
Seeing this, Qingshu smiled and said, "Teacher, if you think the rent is expensive and don't want to rent, then you and Senior Brother Jingze will live with us first." My house is big and there are several courtyards empty, so it's not too late for you to move out when you find one. ”
Fu Ran nodded and said, "Then let's see if the other party is willing to sell?" If you want to sell it, we will buy it if it is more expensive. If you don't sell it, let's live with you first! ”
An An interjected: "Sir, you can go to the women's school to teach!" If you don't want to be tired, you can take two classes a day, which can not only earn a lot of money, but also make a few friends in the girls' school. ”
Fu Ran is not interested in teaching at a women's school: "If I want to teach at a women's school, it's better to recruit a student to teach!" ”
Seeing that she was not happy, An An didn't say anything more.
At noon, men and women were separated, and after eating, Fu Jingene went back to the courtyard.
Qing Shu asked, "How is the knowledge of the two, do you think they can be admitted to Baitan Academy?" ”
"Jing Ze's knowledge is not bad, and the probability of passing the exam is relatively large. Well, unless he is lucky again, it will be difficult to pass the test. Fu Jingene said bluntly: "Even if you are lucky enough to pass the exam, you may be at the bottom of every monthly exam." Therefore, I don't think it would be wise for him to go to the Qibao Pavilion Academy or other academies and the Baitan Academy to take the exam. ”
The main reason is that Tan Jingye's luck is a little weird, otherwise he would have taken the test like others.
"You told him?"
Fu Jingene shook his head and said: "The New Year will be tomorrow, why bother to say this to make him block, so I am ready to wait for the second day of the Lunar New Year to talk to him." But I'm just suggesting that he decide for himself whether or not to go. ”
"Of course, this is a lifelong matter, of course, they have to make their own decisions."
