Chapter 9 Women disguise themselves as men to make some money

Xue Qing was sent back by Zhang Luo, and Mrs. Xue and his wife were relieved. But he didn't want his daughter to stop the prime minister's son from leaving.

Xu was guilty of her mistake again, stopped Shangguan Yi and asked him to sit down for tea, and invited him to eat at home. Shangguan Yi refused many times to no avail, and Mrs. Xue finally spoke.

"Qing'er, don't mess around, what kind of body do you have as a girl openly stopping a man?"

"Daddy, I like this big brother!"

Listening to Xue Qing's words, everyone was completely speechless. Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xue glanced at each other, this girl was stupid again.

"Qing'er, how can you say this casually, let's go back with your mother first!" Mrs. Xue motioned to Mrs. Xue to coax Xue Qing away, and Mrs. Xue understood, so she said that she was not feeling well and asked Xue Qing to accompany her back to the room to rest.

Seeing that his mother was uncomfortable, Xue Qing immediately forgot about Shangguan Yi and followed Mrs. Xue back to Lanfang Courtyard. After the two of them left, Mrs. Xue said to Shangguan Yi embarrassedly:

"Let Shangguan Gongzi smile, Qing'er has a bit of a problem with her brain, don't care about her words."

Shangguan Yi shook his head when he heard this, he didn't find anything wrong with this girl, but he was just a little more straightforward. Such a girl lives a real life, but it's quite cute. Thinking of this, Shangguan Yi replied with a smile:

"Master Taifu said and laughed, so that love is true temperament, frank and cute, there is no problem. You don't have to worry about me blaming her. ”

"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Xue smiled awkwardly, not wanting to explain too much to Shangguan Yi. This girl is too persistent, and when she encounters something she likes, she will not give up. He was really worried that his girl would say something that made people cry and laugh in the face of Shangguan Yi.

There is nothing like this kind of personality in the first place, but she can sometimes do things that are incomprehensible, which is terrifying.

"Master Taifu, if it's okay, I'll leave first."

Shangguan Yi left, not caring about this little episode he had encountered.

Xue Qing was coaxed by Mrs. Xue to Lanfang Courtyard, and the warmth was waiting at the gate of the courtyard. Fuzhong Zhongfang has returned to Mrs. Xue's hands, and she has vigorously replaced all the people who have been warmly placed. At present, the entire Xue Mansion is already under the control of Mrs. Xue, and her warmth has no place at all, and even if she wants to buy some clothes and jewelry for herself and her daughter, she has to ask Mrs. Xue.

When I came to Lanfang Courtyard, I warmly greeted Mrs. Xue and made my intention clear. Mrs. Xue nodded, although she hated those two people for robbing her husband, she couldn't treat the lady of the Taifu Mansion harshly because of this, and even she would take good care of that concubine.

Mrs. Xue promised to make clothes and buy jewelry for Wenqing and Xue Lan, and naturally prepared them for Wenmei and Xue Fang. Later, she simply made clothes for the masters of the house.

It's just that after the accounts are calculated, she is a little embarrassed. Taifu's little money is really meager. Over the years, this huge Taifu Mansion has been supported by Mrs. Xue's dowry. They went away for ten years, although the travel expenses were from the saint, but the food, clothing and housing were still paid by the Taifu Mansion themselves. Fortunately, Mrs. Xue's maiden family is a noble family, and she has a lot of dowries, otherwise they would have been empty.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Xue Qing lay beside Mrs. Xue and looked at her while settling the accounts, sighed, and asked curiously.

"Qing'er, you have been doing arithmetic since you were a child, and you can help your mother calculate these accounts."

Mrs. Xue piled up the complicated accounts for Xue Qing in front of her, and Xue Qing sat up, picked up the abacus and began to swing the abacus.

The room was quiet, and Mrs. Xue was brewing fragrant tea and listening to the sound of her daughter crackling and playing with abacus. In this crisp and pleasant sound of abacus, Mrs. Xue recalled the situation when Xue Qing first learned arithmetic. At that time, they found a famous doctor, saying that he was good at treating head wounds, and in order to give Xue Qing a good look at his brain, they were going to live in that place temporarily.

Seeing that Xue Qing was seven years old, he had not yet enlightened himself because of his perennial travel. The first thing the Xue family did after settling down was to ask Xue Qing for a teacher. That teacher was erudite and proficient in arithmetic, and he taught a lot of arithmetic when he taught Xue Qing. Unexpectedly, Xue Qing is quite interested in arithmetic and has excellent talent.

They had lived there for a year and ten months, and Xue Qing had already learned arithmetic perfectly. Mrs. Xue looked at her daughter who crackled the abacus and was a little confused. This daughter is so smart, how can she have such a hobby, do you think she is sick or not?

In fact, Mrs. Xue knew that her daughter did not have much serious encephalopathy, but she didn't know how to explain the shocking actions that her daughter brought from time to time. So, whenever Xue Qing did something incomprehensible, the two couples would unconsciously tell others that she had a bad brain and asked others to forgive Xue Qing. This may just be a kind of protection for Xue Qing, Xue Qing himself knows it very well in his heart, but he will still be a little lost.

Soon, Xue Qing had already calculated all the accounts, she pouted and spread her hands, looking at her mother and mother a little lost.

"Mother, isn't our father too master? Why are you so? If we continue like this, we'll soon run out of food. ”

"Alas, my mother underestimated the expenses of the Taifu Mansion. knew this was the case, so I didn't agree to give Wenqing the 10,000 taels at that time. "Mrs. Xue regretted it, if she wasn't so generous at that time, the 10,000 taels would still be obediently on the account.

"Mother, I don't think our shops are very profitable? There are also people who lose money, let's do a good job of these shops, and let them make money. ”

"Where is it so easy? It's not easy to do business, how can a mother and a woman keep an eye on it in person. Judging from the accounts, these stores are still profitable, at least they don't make us lose money, which is already very good. ”

Xue Qing blinked his eyes wide, and he had already made up his mind in his heart.

"Mother, do you say that as long as these shops are good, our family's life will be better?"

"You're right. However, it is so easy to make the shop prosperous. Mother, a woman in the house, can't go outside to talk to people about business. ”

"My mother can't go out, Qing'er can! You see me dressing myself up and pretending to be a young man, so why don't I go out and stare at our own shop? ”

"How's that going to work?" Mrs. Xue was immediately anxious when she heard Xiao Xue Qing's words.

"You little girl, you don't want to be in the boudoir, and you still want to go outside and show your face. Qing'er, you should learn to be a girl, learn to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you are so smart that you will definitely be able to get the name of a talented woman in the future and marry a good man. ”

"Talented girl? Mother forgot, everyone thinks that the young daughter is sick? It seems like you still preached it to your father! Xue Qing looked at her mother, who was daydreaming, speechless for a while. No matter who the talented girl is, it can't be her, okay?
