Chapter 677: Only the Living and the Dead
"What do you mean it's useless? Like your father, who can't read big characters, is it useful to face the loess with his back to the sky? Don't bother, I think. ”
Zhao Lingmei looked at her daughter's expression, and knew that she didn't think like this at all in her heart, and she was obviously forced to smile.
But she was even more annoyed now, and was about to go back to the house to rest, when she happened to see the broken silver falling by the door.
Flashing, why didn't she pay attention just now?
She immediately squatted down and picked them all up, counted them, and counted them, a full twenty taels!
Shu Yatou didn't take it away, she was still here, fortunately, she found out, otherwise wouldn't it be cheaper for others?
Thinking of this, her heart hung up, and she patted her chest while quickly collecting the money.
"Mother, you took your sister's silver and were found by your father, and ...... is indispensable"
Before Qin Yanran finished speaking, her hand was pulled by her mother and she made a silent gesture towards her.
"Shhhh I'll buy you a copy and a history book tomorrow. ”
After that, Zhao Lingmei smiled brightly, and walked into the house happily, even the round back was overflowing with joy.
Thinking of her mother's temperament, Qin Yanran shook her head, she couldn't hope for her mother, although she was kind, she was unreliable.
Jiangnan literati have a lot of background, and there are many women who are teachers, she understands her father, and she is afraid that she will become an old girl.
At this moment, she was very envious of Qin Yunshu, a high-ranking lady, a scholarly family, a fixed weight, and a lot of ink in her stomach.
The Qin Mansion must be very large, just like others said, your family has several courtyards, and each young lady is equipped with a study, which contains many famous works.
For them, these things are hard to come by.
In fact, there were a few times when Uncle Zheng came to her house, and she wanted to speak, can you write me a notebook, I want to copy it?
Or, can you give me a landscape painting and a history book?
But every time, she didn't dare, her father taught her strictly, and she was not allowed to mention the word book, telling her to obediently learn embroidery and be a female red.
In fact, the house was burned, and she didn't live in a friend's house, so she went to live in the ancestral house of the Qin family, which saved her thoughts.
Because Sister Shu's grandfather was a famous talent in the county at that time, full of poetry and books, and his luck was not good.
There is a large room in that house, and there are several rows of bookshelves in it, all of which were left by Sister Shu's grandfather, many famous calligraphy and paintings, and even historical books from the past and present.
It's not so much about the house as it is about the house.
But now, she can't even enter the house door, and Sister Shu doesn't like others to touch her things.
Qin Yanran pursed her lips, and finally stopped thinking and entered the house.
At this time, Qin Yunshu had already carried pickles, dried radishes and pears into the house.
After nine twists and turns, I arrived in front of the two buildings behind.
"Miss Qin."
The guard bowed, and then took what was in her hand, "The cook has been found, and he is an illiterate mute." ”
In this way, it is not easy to ensure that the mouth is tight, and it is not easy to find such a person in a short period of time, and to make a good dish.
Qin Yunshu knew after a little thought that what Jin Yan had arranged was more thoughtful than her.
"I've already eaten it, where's Liu Yi?"
"Miss Liu Yi is making your bed, and the house is fully cleaned and cleaned."
Qin Yunshu nodded, and glanced at the guards before going upstairs, "There are a lot of pears in it, and I will eat them with your companions." ”
After that, she walked forward, Liu Yi went to Jiangnan for the first time, it must be very fresh, she promised to take it with her.
Since it is exported, it cannot be broken on its promise.
It's still the same room, but this time I came in completely different from just now, a faint fragrance of flowers wafted in, and there was a porcelain vase on the table, and there were all kinds of flowers in it.
"Miss, is it good-looking?"
Wildflowers that grow in the suburbs are brightly colored and have small petals, but they are large in number and vigorous.
"Yes, you went to the market?"
Qin Yunshu said as she stepped forward, put a basin of water on the shelf, she took a handkerchief to soak it, and wiped it on her face.
"I wasn't familiar with this, so I didn't go, so I asked the guards to buy it. As a guard, the sense of direction is definitely better than mine. ”
Liu Yi said with a grin, not feeling how embarrassed it was for a big man to buy flowers at all.
Qin Yunshu stopped wiping the action, continued to wipe after a light hum, and said after putting the handkerchief back, "I didn't expect that Dingbei Hou's subordinates are not only good at it, but also pick flowers." ”
"I think so too, and I actually got into your eyes, and my ability to appreciate colors must be good."
Liu Yi nodded again and again, completely unaware that outside the door, the guard was standing awkwardly, and his face was a little dark.
He was very hesitant, whether to enter or not to enter?
Qin Yunshu saw the corner of the black robe by the door of the house and said with a smile, "Come in." ”
was directly pierced, and the guards could only bite the bullet and bow their hands, "Miss." ”
"Yo, the eldest lady is satisfied, you are here to receive the reward?"
Liu Yi suddenly spoke, the scene was even more embarrassing, and the guards stiffened.
"Miss, these flowers are bought at will. We are used to the battlefield, and in our eyes, there are only living and dead, which one has the strongest vitality and which one is the best-looking. ”
It can be said in a few words, and it is full of reason.
"Hey, are you warlords still talking around the bush? Explanation ......"
"Liu Yi."
With a soft call, Liu Yi immediately shut up, hurriedly stood aside, and did not interject again.
"What's your name?"
This guard is by no means ordinary, at least Qin Yunshu thinks so.
"The subordinate surname is Sun, and the single name is Guang. Miss, my subordinates are here this time to deliver letters. ”
With that, he took a few steps forward and presented it respectfully.
Qin Yunshu immediately took it, and when he opened it, there was only one note inside, which was his father's handwriting!
For the sake of the Father, he will return in three days.
Three days later, she returned to her ancestral home, and during these three days, she had to hide her father's whereabouts and make everyone think he was in Jiangnan.
"Wax."
The whisper fell, Liu Yi understood, and immediately lit the candlestick and brought it to the eldest lady.
The flame touched the note, burned quickly, and soon disappeared into ashes.
"Sun Guang, when did you send it, and who sent it?"
"In front of the two incense sticks, an old man, with a dark gray robe, an elegant voice and a respectful manner."
This person is basically fixed, and he is an elderly scholar.
My father is not alone, but with people who are trusted in the literary world.
What do you do, and what is the big thing that is worthy of my father to go to Jiangnan to worship his ancestors as a guise?
When her father returns, will he be able to tell her?
If told, it's a trifle. If the tone is tight, it must be a big deal.
And Xiao Jinyan knows about this.
Qin Yunshu gradually frowned, thinking of what her father said for three days, now she needs to do what she needs to do.
"Sun Guang, find a well-known fortune teller and choose an auspicious day to worship the ancestors."
"Yes."
Since he came back to worship his ancestors, the rumor should be louder, so that the courtiers would feel that his father had indeed returned to Jiangnan to worship his ancestors.
To be precise, let the emperor believe it.
"Liu Yi, take out my coarse cloth clothes."
With that, Qin Yunshu walked to the dressing mirror and took off her outer skirt and underwear.
