"Brother Ling really wants to come to study, you can try to see if you can pass my assessment."

Ling Shengyi's eyes flashed with impatience.

Even if he is impatient, he is still gentle and elegant, without the slightest gaffe.

However, those who are in regular contact with him will find that such impatience is rare.

"I've heard them say that. However, even Chu Lihong can pass the assessment, how can my brother Jinbao not be able to pass? ”

Chu Xiaocui pretended to smile shyly.

Chu Yuqin rolled his eyes.

"Chu Jinbao has studied for so many years, and he can't even memorize the three-character scripture, I really don't know who gave you the confidence to think that he can pass the assessment."

When Chu Xiaocui heard Chu Yuqin's voice, the smile on her face froze.

She turned to glare at her and said angrily, "It's okay if your brother doesn't know a single word, why can't Jinbao?" ”

"My brother can't read a single word, which means that he has an eccentric grandmother. Obviously, my own sister came back with so much silver, but he was not qualified to study, but let the cousin who couldn't hit the eight poles stain it. It's not that he doesn't have talent, it's that he doesn't have a chance. ”

"As for those who can't memorize the three-character scripture after a few years, it's not that they don't have a chance, but they don't have a brain. Master Ling is a teacher, not a bodhisattva in the Buddhist hall, and has no responsibility to purify sentient beings. He taught the gifted that it was worth the effort. Wouldn't those who have no talent waste their time? ”

"You! Chu Yuqin, you are scolding Jinbao, if you let grandma know......"

"Haven't you been weaned? Even if you haven't been weaned, you should find your mother, what should you do with your grandmother? ”

"Shame on you!"

Chu Xiaocui stomped her feet.

"Who told you to say that my brother's is not? Since I bumped into it, do you still want me to applaud? ”

Chu Yuqin clasped his arms around his chest and looked at her coldly.

"Shut your mouth next time you speak, and think about it with your brain. If you don't want to be scolded by me, be honest with me. As far as your brother's fat pig is concerned, he dares to compare it with the obedient and sensible one in my family. Can clouds and mud be compared? ”

Ling Shengyi touched his nose.

This is how country girls quarrel?

However, compared to the knife hidden in the smile in the courtyard of the deep house, it seems to be quite ...... Lovely.

Chu Xiaocui was not Chu Yuqin's opponent, and she lost face in front of Ling Shengyi again, and ran away crying.

Chu Yuqin pouted: "Here again." I don't know what I thought I did to her. ”

Ling Shengyi smiled.

Chu Yuqin heard his voice and looked back at him.

"Master Ling, were you laughing at me just now?"

Ling Shengyi returned to his usual appearance.

"Nope."

"You laughed."

"I ...... No. Ling Shengyi looked at her seriously.

"Okay! No, there is none. ”

Chu Yuqin thought of something and said, "You wait a minute, I'll show you something." ”

Ling Shengyi stood in place.

After a while, Chu Yuqin ran over again.

Because he ran too fast, his hair fell apart, and his long black silk hair flew in the air.

Ling Shengyi watched her 'fly' over like a little butterfly.

At that moment, he actually reached out and caught her.

"Master Ling?"

Chu Yuqin called him.

Ling Shengyi came back to his senses.

Only then did he realize that he had lost his temper just now.

"Excuse me, what did you say?"

"Here's a design I drew for you, see if you can read it."

Ling Shengyi pointed to the location of the toilet.

"I don't understand it here."

"This place is a secret, you just need to know that it's a thatched house. What about other places? ”

"The bedrooms, the guest rooms, and the servants' rooms, it's all easy to understand here."

"I've finally found someone who can understand me." Chu Yuqin sighed. "If I continue like this, I'll doubt myself."

"Miss Chu still needs to worry more about this. I'm really not good at that. You can arrange it however you want, I believe in your vision. ”

"That's what you said." Chu Yuqin put away the design drawings. "Then I'm ready to arrange it. In a few days, I'll find a craftsman to come and have a look. ”

"In terms of craftsmen, I can let Zheng Lao do it."

"Yes, yes, you even know people like Chu Kangze, and you must know more people. Isn't it a matter of finding a few craftsmen with good craftsmanship? ”

"What do you mean by someone like Chu Kangze?"

Chu Yuqin gave him a 'you understand yourself' look and waved his hand.

"I'll go back to breakfast."

Speaking of breakfast, Ling Shengyi remembered Chu Yuqin's craftsmanship.

After tasting her craftsmanship and eating anything else, the whole person was uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, this kind of craftsmanship is not often tasted.

Chu family, kitchen.

"Grandpa Zheng......"

"Hey!"

"Grandpa Zheng, don't sigh, if you have something to say."

"I don't know what's going on lately, my tongue is not flexible, my hands and feet are not flexible, and the fried dishes are either burnt or have too much salt, or there is no salt at all. I don't know how many more days I'll be able to stay like this. I'm so old, if I am driven away by my master, and then change to a boss who is not good to serve, how will I live that life? ”

Chu Yuqin didn't expect Old Man Zheng to find her and say such a complaint.

However, it is also common for older people to rapidly reduce their sense of smell and touch.

Old man Zheng can't complain to her for no reason, there should be some purpose!

"Grandpa Zheng, don't sell it, just say if you need my help. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. We are neighbors and should help each other. ”

"Miss Chu is a cheerful person, so I will get straight to the point and not beat around the bush. I still want to ask Miss Chu to cook one more meal, you don't need to prepare mine, just prepare one for our master. How about giving you twenty taels a month for food? ”

"Didn't you say it was okay at the beginning? I will prepare three meals for you, and you will be spared the restraint of my brother. Later, it was your master who was unwilling, so it was canceled. ”

"It's not that the master is unwilling, but he doesn't want to trouble Miss Chu. In fact, he likes Miss Chu's craftsmanship very much. It's just thin-skinned, I'm embarrassed to say. Everyone was not familiar with each other before, and he rejected Miss Chu's kindness. It's different now. You're friends, aren't you? ”

"As long as your master is willing to eat, I'm not afraid to cook for two more people. It doesn't make any difference to me to make two more copies anyway. ”

"Thank you, Miss Chu. But the money will still be collected. If you take the money, our master will not blame me. ”

"Twenty taels is too much, it's still ten taels! If there is no problem, I will start sending it to you at noon. ”

"You don't have to send it specifically, I'll mention it."

"Listen to you, if you want to mention it, I'll leave it to you! That's it. ”

"It's settled."

After Old Man Zheng left, Chu Lihong went into the kitchen.

"What to do? Sneaky. ”

"I went out to play just now and met Chu Jinbao. The boy looked at me like a wolf. ”

"And then you're scared like this?"

"Now the whole old mansion is most afraid of you. It's only safe if you're around. ”

"It's not productive."

Chu Yuqin glanced at him.

"Later, I'll test the words you have learned recently to see how well you practice."
