313 Clear-headed
Whether you can understand it is one thing, and whether you can accept it is another.
Lu Yuanfeng doesn't care, a good man should be ambitious in all directions, and Ruan Xiaoji is not going to play, but to study, this time and again will delay a lot of time.
And Ruan Xiaoman is very unaccustomed, except for the exchange of letters, she can only imagine what kind of life he lives over there.
Ruan Xiaoji's letters are mostly good news but not bad news, although he writes lightly between the lines, she can't stop worrying, and even thinks crankily.
Ji Bei Qi's family, because they will accept students from outside, so the Qi family's school is arranged in the side hall.
In addition to the students of the Qi family, Ruan Xiaoji and Qian Bincai came here to study from other places.
Qian Bin is from Leizhou, and he has a little relationship with the Hu family, and it is thanks to the blessing of the Hu family that he can enter the Qi family school, of course, he himself naturally has some ability.
And the two of them paid some money in addition to the bondage and stayed in the side hall.
In addition to an old servant who is responsible for cleaning in the side hall, they have to solve other things by themselves, and there is a small kitchen, but the Qian family is rich, and they hardly use the kitchen except for boiling hot water.
But Ruan Xiaoji eats in the side hall almost every day, Ma Qi's cooking skills are so-so, and he occasionally cooks in person.
As soon as he has free time, he goes outside to set up a stall to help people write letters, and has the right to practice calligraphy and cultivate his mind.
Although Ruan Xiaoman and Lu Yuanfeng stuffed nearly 1,000 taels of silver tickets to him when he came to Jibei, he was determined to return to his hometown, so he couldn't sit on the empty side.
His handwriting is already very good, that is, painting still needs to be practiced well, and this ink, paper and inkstone does not cost less.
And usually find a good book, which also costs a lot of money.
No matter how good the books outside are, they can't compare to the Qi family's library, it's a book library, but it's a pity that he didn't have a chance to go inside and take a look.
There is a large garden separated from the backyard by the side hall, and this door is closed except for the Qi family's children when they enter and exit.
Some of the children of the Qi family who live outside enter and exit from the side door.
He and Qian Bin are a little abrupt here, although the children of the Qi family will not suppress them, they will not get too close to them, unless their performance is amazing.
However, their performance was not impressive, and Ruan Xiaoji was just barely able to keep up with what Mr. taught now.
Qian Bincai's family is rich, but he has no officials, so he finally came out with such a promising person, so he naturally grabbed him and entered the Qi family school.
However, Qian Bincai is not here, but he can't force his parents to come here reluctantly.
The young man is naturally unwilling to lag behind others, so his performance is still remarkable.
Qian Bin is only three years older than Ruan Xiaoji, and he has already taken the test for showing his fame, so his goal is naturally to be the champion.
Ruan Xiaoji came to Qijia School for half a year and planned to take the government exam next year.
Their husband is a side branch of the Qi family, and he is Mrs. Hu's father, full of wealth, Ruan Xiaoji can barely get into his eyes.
Because of his background, as well as his hands-on ability, are eye-opening.
Now the book in Ruan Xiaoji's hand was lent to him by Mr. to read it, he read it again, copied it again, and his hands were almost sore, so he put down the brush.
"Childe, it's time to rest." Ma Qi cautiously reminded.
"Hmm." Ruan Xiaoji answered, moved his muscles and bones, and then prepared to rest, and this book will have to be returned to Mr. tomorrow.
Yuzhi County Lu Mansion.
Ruan Xiaoman sent Ruan San Niangzi away, and Ruan Xiaoji stayed.
Although the Lu Mansion is big, it is a bit boring, and Ruan Xiaoji can't wait to go out for a walk.
Ruan Xiaoman was afraid that the maid would not be able to control Ruan Xiaoji, so he had to accompany her.
And Lu Yuanfeng left the house and went to inspect his own fields.
Next year's goal is to open a grain shop in Leizhou, which is different from Yuzhi County, and this grain shop can't be opened casually.
As for Liuxian Lou, he has this plan, but he has not found a suitable shop yet, and the shopkeeper Tong is responsible for following up on the matter.
With Mo Lu following the affairs of Yuzhi County, and Ruan Xiaoman staring at it, he was still more relieved.
There is a tea house in Leizhou, which sells Linfeng black tea and Fuyuan green tea, and the shopkeeper Tong is also responsible for contacting merchants who cooperate with Yuanfeng Commercial Bank.
Besides, Ruan Xiaoman accompanied Ruan Xiaoji out of the house, but she didn't take a sedan chair, the streets and alleys were fresh and lively for Ruan Xiaoji, and they were far from being comparable to Sandaokou, and she couldn't wait to go in every shop.
Furong Fang can, but things can't, Ruan Xiaoman glanced at Ruan Xiaoji's face, "You don't need to use these things yet." ”
"And you use it again?" Ruan Xiaoji said unconvinced, she also wanted to become white and beautiful.
"Didn't I already give you a box of alabaster, don't use the rest, and then go back." Ruan Xiaoman was too lazy to talk nonsense with her.
She herself only uses alabaster, and the others are usually tested with her own face when developing.
As soon as he heard that he was going back, Ruan Xiaoji had to reluctantly put down the rose dew.
"Yo, you guys shouldn't have any problems with this Furong Place, right? Why don't you even dare to use yourself? As soon as Feng Shuxian came in, she heard this, covering her mouth and snickering, but unfortunately there were no other guests there, look at what she said.
"Did I say anything? I just don't have to spend that money if I don't think it's necessary. Ruan Xiaoman said lightly.
"The dignified young lady of the Lu family will actually feel distressed about spending money." Feng Shuxian chuckled, she really couldn't understand what Lu Yuanfeng wanted her.
"I prefer to make money and spend money clearly." Ruan Xiaoman said casually.
Feng Shuxian, a woman, is used to buying low and selling high, and it is not clear whether she is selling favors or sidelines, anyway, she asked Lu Yuanfeng to stay away from her.
The Jin family can be regarded as re-emerging, but it is difficult to say whether there is any other support behind her.
What she could imagine, Lu Yuanfeng probably thought of too, she looked at him with a clear mind.
Feng Shuxian only secretly hated that the usual methods couldn't hit Ruan Xiaoman, and she couldn't lower her rank to deal with her.
"The young lady of the Jin family is here to buy something, I, the proprietor, have to be a good student." Ruan Xiaoman's smile was all over his face, wanting to see her laugh, but he didn't see if she cared or not.
When it comes to selling things, she is still quite good, and in a few words, Feng Shuxian bought a lot of rouge gouache, and the Jin family is really not short of money.
Ruan Xiaoji on the side saw that his eyes were straight, hundreds of taels of silver, Feng Shuxian actually gave it without blinking his eyes.
When Feng Shuxian walked away, Ruan Xiaoji came back to his senses and asked Ruan Xiaoman, who had just finished talking to the shopkeeper, "Is the Jin family richer than the Lu family?" ”
"Why do you ask this? I don't know? Could it be that people will expose their family background to others? Ruan Xiaoman said angrily.
