Cui's family didn't want Qingshu to marry into the royal family, but she also knew that even if she wanted to hide it from Lin Chengyu, she wouldn't be able to hide it for long.

Retreating, Cui Shi and Mrs. Deng said this: "You said that she is going to marry the prince, can she have a good life with me?" ”

Mrs. Deng weighed it in her heart and said: "Our family's family background, the second girl should not be able to be a concubine when she runs for election." However, the second girl is outstanding, and she should be able to be selected as a side concubine, and even become a royal concubine. ”

Every time the draft is held, the emperor will meet the show girl. If he finds the right one, he will leave them behind. This jade concubine was left behind like this in the first place. After the jade concubine, the royal family did not draft again.

Mrs. Deng said: "Mrs., this concubine is also good-looking, but she is not a concubine. If you are a concubine, you have to be restrained by the concubine. When you go out in the future, you have to agree to the concubine. ”

If you can't leave the house, you can't show off your power in front of her, and it is impossible to separate the relationship between her brother and her.

Thinking of this, Cui Shi said: "When the master comes back, I will tell him about it." ”

Lin Chengyu heard that the emperor might order a draft, and asked eagerly, "Is this true?" I didn't hear any wind. ”

Cui Shi glanced at him and said, "When you hear the wind, everyone will know about it." ”

Lin Chengyu's official position is low and he is from a civilian background, how can the news be well-informed in the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion.

"Master, our family has no foundation, so it is particularly difficult for you to be promoted. But if Qingshu can marry the prince, it will be different, with the prince as a backer, your career will be smooth sailing. ”

Lin Chengyu's heart was hot when he heard this, but he soon calmed down again: "I'm afraid that Qingshu is unwilling." ”

"Once she marries the prince, she is a master who can't ask for it no matter how much she asks, what is she not willing to ask for? Could it be that there is a more valuable husband in this world than the prince? ”

Speaking of this, Cui Xueying was a little annoyed: "It's also Shiya who is married, otherwise I will definitely let her run." As long as you are selected, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in this life. Ahem, it's even if my family Shiya doesn't have this blessing. ”

It took two months in the morning to get the news, so I had to stop Shiya from marrying.

Lin Chengyu hesitated and said, "I'll discuss this matter with Qingshu." ”

There is no need to ask, Cui Xueying also knows that Lin Qingshu will not agree. She has a decent errand outside and a shop that makes money every day, and the Wu family to protect her. This day is like a fairy, how can it be possible to enter the palace to be restrained.

Cui Xueying shook her head and said, "As far as Qingshu's temperament is concerned, I definitely don't agree." Master, we can't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, otherwise we won't regret it in the future. ”

"When the holy decree comes, let's report her name, and if you don't want to, you have to run."

Lin Chengyu thought before that if the imperial court could be drafted, let Qingshu run for the election and be rich. Now that the opportunity has come, he is willing to miss it. But Qingshu has always been strong, and if she doesn't agree, she will report her name for fear that she will turn against herself.

Cui Shi knew what he was thinking when he saw his expression, and said softly: "Master, the child is still young and doesn't know what is good or bad, we parents have to check for her." ”

Lin Chengyu still couldn't make up his mind: "Let me think about it again." ”

As soon as the words fell, the mother-in-law outside said: "Master, wife, the second girl and the third girl are going back to Meihua Lane." ”

Lin Chengyu got up and said, "You have a good rest, I'll send them back." ”

Mrs. Deng came in and looked at Cui's ugly face and asked, "Madam, did the master not agree?" ”

"He wished that Lin Qingshu could run for election, but he couldn't handle Lin Qingshu. He was worried that if Lin Qingshu did not agree, it would backfire if he forced him. ”

Mrs. Deng said: "As long as we report our name, she has to go if she doesn't go, otherwise it will be the crime of bullying the king." She doesn't care about his wife and the little master, and she doesn't care about the third girl and the old woman Gu. ”

Cui Shi nodded, but she still said, "It's better to let the master do this." Otherwise, that girl is afraid that she will settle this account on my head. ”

In fact, Cui's is also a little pestle-clear, thinking that she is very evil and dare not confront her.

Hearing that Lin Chengyu wanted to send them back, An An refused: "You don't need to send it, we know how to go back." ”

Lin Chengyu said: "Dad has been very busy these days, and he hasn't talked to you properly. Let's have a good chat while we have time today. ”

An An didn't give him any face: "We don't have anything to talk to you about, you better hurry up and see your son." ”

Qingshu smiled and said, "Dad, it just so happens that I am going to take An An to Sipinzhai to buy some ink strips and brushes." If you want to, then go with us! ”

This Sipinzhai sells stationery supplies, which is very famous in the capital because it only sells fine products. Since it is a high-quality product, the price is definitely not cheap.

Qingshu spends a lot of time practicing calligraphy every day, so it consumes a lot of ink strips and brushes.

When An An heard this, he hurriedly said: "My inkstone fell to the ground a few days ago and cracked. Dad, you haven't bought me anything yet, just buy me an inkstone today. ”

Lin Chengyu used to go to Sipinzhai, and any inkstone in it cost hundreds of taels of silver. I don't know the temperament of moderation when I buy things in Qingshu, and I am not afraid that I will not be able to get down. He only earns more than 200 taels a year, how can he afford it. When the time comes, it will be a shame if you can't pay.

Barely smiling, Lin Chengyu said: "There are still a bunch of things at home that I can't leave, and my father will go to see you another day." ”

After leaving the Lin family, An An said angrily: "Sister, why do you say that we are so unlucky to meet such a father, and we are reluctant to buy me an inkstone." ”

"That woman still thinks our sister's gift is shabby, how can she open this mouth?"

Qing Shu smoothed her sleeves and said lightly: "She thinks that my few shops should buy a heavy full moon gift for Lin Boyuan to make money." Not only her, but also her father. ”

Holding Qingshu, An An said: "Sister, fortunately you can make money, otherwise I'm afraid I will have to eat bran vegetables every day." ”

Qingshu smiled and patted her on the back, and whispered: "Grandma left us a sum of money, even if we don't open a shop, this money is enough for us to have food and clothing for the rest of our lives." ”

An An asked in a low voice, "Sister, how much silver did grandma leave us, is there 100,000?" ”

In the past, Qingshu was afraid that An An was too young to keep the secret and didn't tell her about it, but now she doesn't have this concern: "Grandma gave me a total of 230,000 taels of silver back then, and you 120,000 and I 110,000." I have spent 30,000 taels of silver on the property I have bought you over the years, and now you have 90,000 taels of silver left. I'll give you this money when you get married in the future. ”

An An smiled: "Sister, I don't have to worry about running out of food every day in my life." ”

doesn't need to touch her savings, only the interest from those industries and the dividends from the shop are enough for her to eat and drink spicy.
