Seeing Ji Qingling's expression, for some reason, Aunt Li actually felt uncomfortable, she subconsciously touched her arm, as if this could drive away the inexplicable discomfort.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, it's not just that...... A few days ago, my family found me a job, which was to go to a family to help cook. The girl also knows that I have three families in my hands now, and if I take this, I will push that, so I will take over your family, and I don't want to exchange it for ......."

Ji Qingling only smiled, said "um" lightly, and didn't speak.

Seeing that she didn't follow her words, Aunt Li was a little disappointed in her heart, her eyes rolled, and she said: "Because the head of that family is Xiucai, and there is a fifteen-year-old son, who is accustomed to being famous, he was admitted to Naliangshan Academy last year and is studying there. She was afraid that Ji Qingling was an outsider and did not know the situation in Jixian County, and specially explained, "The girl is afraid that she doesn't know, this Liangshan Academy is a first-class academy in our Jixian County, as long as she enters, there will be eight or nine Jinshi masters in the future." ”

Ji Qingling nodded and asked, "Which family does Aunt Li want to go to work?" ”

Aunt Li said: "It's not like that, after all, I have already signed the deed with you, and I will leave halfway, but I am not embarrassed, but that kid in my family, who is fourteen years old this year, although he can't get into Liangshan and Qingming, but he also tries to take the exam in Huizhai Academy, although the family gives little money, but is willing to lend me the son's articles and books to take home, I am hesitating." ”

She said that she was hesitating, but there was no hesitation on her face, and she only looked at Ji Qingling with her eyes.

This soft and hard one, first have to buy the power of food, and then force others to leave, Ji Qingling still doesn't know what she means, but she is unwilling to follow. If he was caught at this time, he would not be a cook in the future, but a master, so he said to Qiu Yue: "Go to my room and get a penny to come over." ”

Qiu Yue answered, went to get the money, and before she returned to the kitchen, she heard someone knocking on the door outside, so she quickly went to latch the door.

Standing outside the threshold was a thirty-year-old scribe and a servant, the scribe saw that it was a little girl who opened the door, stunned for a moment, took two steps back and looked at the house, and then looked left and right, and saw that there were no houses around, so he hesitated and asked: "There are two little sons living in this place?" ”

Qiuyue had already received Ji Qingling's explanation, and did not reveal the details of this place at will, but only asked: "This is Gu Zhai, I don't know who you are, sir?" ”

The servant who was standing on the side hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the post.

Qiu Yue has been here for more than a month, and although she has recognized a few words, she has not yet reached the level of understanding the famous post, so she has to bow down, salute the scribe, and say, "Sir, you wait for a while, and I will come out in a while." Saying that, he closed the door, hurriedly walked back to the kitchen, and said to Ji Qingling: "Girl, a gentleman has come to ask to see you." He handed the prayer slip over.

Ji Qingling stretched out his hand to take it, took a cursory look at it, and quickly understood.

The bait has been out for so long, and finally one of them has taken the bait.

It's just that I don't know why this time it was neither Xie Lao from the bookstore last time, nor Qian Houzhai, but a teacher surnamed Rong.

Today's lunch was early, and it was still a meal at this time, Ji Qingling was worried that she would have to keep the meal, so she said to Aunt Li: "Our brother and sister are not familiar with this place when they first come here, and they are all dependent on my sister-in-law to take care of them. It's a pity that we can't compare to other people's families who are talented, and there is no young man who studies in Liangshan Academy, so we don't delay my aunt. There aren't many days left in the month, so when you're done with these days, go to the man's house. As he spoke, he motioned to Qiu Yue to hand over the hanging money, and said, "I may have to ask my aunt to leave an extra stick of incense today, and if necessary, I have to cook another meal." ”

Aunt Li took the money, her expression froze, she didn't seem to expect Ji Qingling to refuse so simply, so she had to say dryly: "Coincidentally, I'm free today, so let's stay for a moment longer." ”

Ji Qingling didn't have time to pay attention to her, so she hurriedly went back to the room to change her clothes, and asked Qiu Yue to invite someone in.

Gu Yanzhang was greeted early, packed himself, and came out to greet the guests with Ji Qingling.

Both sides looked at each other, and they were a little surprised.

The scribe waited for Ji Qingling and the two to salute, nodded, and said with a smile: "It's a bit presumptuous to come uninvited." ”

He didn't wait to sit down, so he said: "My surname is Hong, and I am the instructor in Qingming Academy. ”

Ji Qingling and Gu Yanzhang glanced at each other and nodded at the same time.

Na Hong Xundao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person was full of excitement, and hurriedly said: "I heard that it is the dowry of the two mothers' families? ”

Ji Qingling said: "It's my mother's dowry, I don't know what Mr. Hong has to say?" ”

Hong Xundao's face was happy, as if he had eaten some ginseng fruit, he stood up suddenly, and said busily: "But where are the rest of Mr. Shenning's books?!" ”

Ji Qingling understood in his heart, but he pretended to be puzzled on his face, and asked, "What's wrong?" But what's so strange about my mother's book? ”

Hong Xundao is not like Xie Lao and Qian Houzhai, there are still many considerations, he doesn't know the specific situation, but he just wants to know if there are still Wang Yinglin's original works left here.

On that day, a group of people were identifying the books, that is, he proposed to ask the two young sons who pawned the books whether there were any other books in their mother's dowry, but they never wanted to be rejected by a few old gentlemen. Such a major event cannot be rushed.

In this Hong Xundao's opinion, but go and ask a few words, if there is a scroll, please come out and take a look, and it is not forced to buy, and it is not forced, what is not polite and unreasonable? The books in the hands of the two children, even if they are not originals, are rare books, and their value is immeasurable.

He waited and waited, and a group of old men circled around the book, today you ask a question, tomorrow I will discuss a detail, as if it was endless, forgetting that there is still a mountain of gold buried on the side, he watched from the side, it was simply anxious. It's easy to wait for everyone to come to a conclusion, and they all think that it is the original manuscript, and they bumped into the academy examination, Jixian County Yin was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, and a group of old masters were even circled by the academy to ask questions.

When you pass the exam, you still have to mark the papers, and if you don't have ten days or eight days, where can you free up your hands? By then, the daylilies will be cold!
