Hearing Xia Yanqing's question, Mr. Bai's first reaction was to go to see the two girls standing next to the two of them.

The second grandmother's words, in the eyes of the world, are restless.

She has married the second master of the Wang family as she wished, and her husband's family and her mother's family are all official eunuchs. She didn't do a good job as her young grandmother, but she said that going out to do things was really against the virtues of a woman from a big family.

These two girls should be the dowry sent by the Xia family, and in terms of rules and etiquette, they are very passable, and they also have the responsibility of taking care of the second grandmother.

But when the two of them heard the words of the second grandmother, Xinshu's eyebrows just jumped slightly, and they didn't react much.

And another girl named Xinxiu didn't even beat her eyebrows, and her expression was the same as usual. It seems that the second grandmother said this kind of thing, and it is no longer normal.

Mr. Bai seems to have discovered another specialty of Xia Yanqing. Looking at the looks of these two girls, maybe this second grandmother, in addition to her strong comprehension in schoolwork, may also be very good at controlling her subordinates.

She turned her thoughts again and again, and reluctantly said, "The second grandmother is different from me. My parents passed away, and I was lonely and had to make this decision. The second grandmother has a prominent husband's family, the husband has a great future, and the parents' parents and sisters-in-law also love the second grandmother, why did the second grandmother say this? ”

The corners of Xia Yanqing's mouth curled, and he smiled: "But I thought that it was better to rely on others than on yourself." Even if you have relatives to take care of you, it's not good to only know how to ask for it and not know how to reciprocate it for a lifetime. If you can be self-reliant, you can be useful to others and yourself, so that you will not live in vain in this life. What does the gentleman think? ”

Mr. Bai's expression was dark.

She has seen a lot of favored and disgraced concubines in the palace, and she has also seen the mutual tilting of palace maids and eunuchs at all levels. She naturally knew that what Xia Yanqing said was right.

But this kind of words, as an outsider, is not easy for her to agree with casually.

Moreover, Mr. Bai is also very strange, this second grandmother has a lot of love from her mother, father and brother, although the dowry is not very rich, but she still has the silver to buy hundreds of acres of land and a few shops.

No matter what she wants to do, just do it, why talk to her so solemnly?

The point is that she is a woman, and she is incapable and does not know how to operate. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to go around the back houses of various mansions to earn this teacher's money.

Thinking like this, Mr. Bai couldn't help but smile wryly: "If the second grandmother wants to discuss these things, she really hasn't found the right person." I don't really have any good ideas for anything other than being able to write and draw. ”

What she said was basically out of her original intention, and the meaning of evasion was also obvious. She didn't even ask what Xia Yanqing was going to do.

Mr. Bai's occupation makes her unable to have anything to do with the dispute in the back house. Otherwise, her only way to make a living is that she will not be able to sustain it. This Xia Yanqing understands very well, which also shows that Mr. Bai is cautious and trustworthy in character.

She stopped beating around the bush, looked into Mr. Bai's eyes, and said, "Sir, give me extra time." When the nurturing grandmother comes, I will discuss with her, and before noon, Mr. Bai will teach me. After a nap, learn the rules and etiquette. After dinner, I continued to study poetry and painting with my husband. ”

Mr. Bai frowned when he heard this: "Do you need to be so nervous?" Also, in the evening, it seems that it is not very convenient for me to come to the house to teach. ”

Xia Yanqing smiled and said, "Mr. can be my west seat and live in our house." There is a small courtyard behind the Autumn Moon Garden, with only two rooms. I went and told my mother-in-law to sweep out the garden and let my husband live there. ”

Mr. Bai was speechless for a long time, she didn't believe that just because her in-laws invited Xia Yanqing to raise a nurturing grandmother, she could raise the mind of learning poetry and painting.

The only possibility is that the second grandmother wants to avoid raising her grandmother and do something.

"Does the second grandmother really want to learn poetry and painting?" Mr. Bai asked.

"It's not." Xia Yanqing replied very calmly, "I want to do something to seek the foundation of my life." In today's situation, I can only ask my husband to cover it up and help me. If Mr. can get started, he can also help me take care of some things in the future. ”

She paused and continued, "If you are in charge, your husband's future will be more secure. ”

Mr. Bai's brows were already wrinkled together, of course she knew that the income of a competent person was able to support his family, buy a house and land, and even use one or two people.

However, Grandma Xia Er is just a twenty-eight-year-old woman who works to earn money...... How can it be that simple?

She couldn't believe it, but she also hoped that what the second grandmother said was something she could say with confidence. If she really had the ability to do business and earn a considerable amount of money, wouldn't she miss a good opportunity if she refused this offer at this time?

After thinking about it again, Mr. Bai asked, "What business does the second grandmother want to do?" ”

Xia Yanqing smiled and said, "Of course, it's to do something rare in this world, so that you can make a lot of money." The smug look was full of words in her words.

Mr. Bai heard Ni Duan, "What does the second grandmother mean, what are you going to do in the small yard you said?" ”

"Yes." Xia Yanqing smiled and nodded, Mr. Bai was smart enough, and their alliance had another possibility of success.

Mr. Bai looked at the three of them one by one, but he didn't see anything.

"The second grandmother should know that I live alone. All you can rely on is to teach students in the back houses of each family and earn the monthly silver of a teaching gentleman. If the second grandmother's work can't be done, I will lose my reputation as a teacher in the second grandmother, and it will be even more difficult to find errands in the future. Want me to help you, at least tell me, what are you going to do? How sure are you? ”

It seems to be tempting...... Xia Yanqing was happy in his heart, but there was a look on his face that seemed to be smiling, and he asked rhetorically: "I am a village girl who has just come out of the countryside, and I am also young, Mr. Bai can trust what I say?" ”

Mr. Bai almost learned from Xia Yanqing to roll her eyes, if she couldn't believe it at all, where would she be so entangled?

"Even if you search all the families in the capital, you can't find a second woman who is more intelligent and sensitive than the second grandmother. Of course, I hope that the second grandmother will do something, but," she said earnestly, "the second grandmother wants me to leave what I am doing, and I must give a reason to feel at ease." ”

Xia Yanqing nodded, "Yes, I will write a charter to Mr. as soon as possible." However, I have to remind him that what I have to do is 100% certain. Invest early, if you miss it, the loss will be big. ”

These words have never appeared in this world, but Mr. Bai understands them.
