The next day, without waiting for them to ask Niu Dewang for a doctor, Bi Tao came over to pass the word, "I know that you want to invite Mr., our old lady said that if you can use it, I can recommend one or two to you." It is better to practice martial arts in the morning with the head master of our house, not to mention musical instruments, our young lady will invite Mr. now, and it will be over when he finds time to come and teach. As for hobbies, I have to let Young Master Niu choose by himself, and we will look for it again, but it is better than the people you are not familiar with. ”

Zhang Qingting and Zhao Chengcai looked at each other, so what else is there to say? It's hard to resist the hospitality, so I laughed at it! It's always okay to have a lot of debt, and it's not itchy to have more lice.

Only Zhang Qingting faintly began to wonder, did Meng Zhan introduce them to live at home at the beginning, did he think of today? But does it still make sense to pursue it now? always finds him at home, but in the end, they still fall into the net!

Shaking his head, he drove all these rambling thoughts out of his mind, and the top priority was to get the cow prosperous thing done. With the strong assistance of the Meng family, after being outside for a long time, it was basically settled.

There is no government-run hall in the capital, except for some famous teachers' private schools, most of them are large families set up for the younger brothers of the clan, the Meng family is scarce, and the old family is not here, so there is no one. Ben said that he would introduce them to a good family to send to the museum, but Zhao Chengcai felt that it was probably inappropriate to let a child like Niu Dewang go to those noble books with eyes above the top, so he chose a small private school closer to home. Seeing that Niu Dewang was simple and simple, Cheng Shangke promised Haosheng to take care of him and reassure them.

The teachers are in place, Niu Dewang's schedule is also settled, he gets up every day, follows the head of Mengfu, Master Huo, squatting and practicing his fists and feet, and after an hour, he goes to the school. Just because he asked for a lot of things, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it, so he only studied in the private school for half a day, came back at noon to have lunch and rest for a while, and then continued the class in the afternoon.

The plucked strings and piano pay the most attention to the artistic conception, Niu Dewang really doesn't come, Mengfu pianist Chu Fu thought about it, took out a flute and played a song, this is good! In the past, there were also people in the country class who could play the pastoral flute, and Niu Dewang immediately fell in love.

As for hobbies, he didn't know what to do in a daze, but Zhao Yulian chose one for him, "It's better to let him carve wood, buy some cork, it's not so laborious, the tools are simple, and the children are also interested." ”

Niu Dewang heard that he was given a small animal carved on wood, so he happily agreed. It wasn't until I really got up that I realized that everything was not easy, but I couldn't change it at that time. The usual sister Yulian is obedient to him, but when she gets up with her homework, she is fierce and refuses to give in at all, if Niu Dewang loses his temper and refuses, Zhao Yulian does not beat him and scolds him, but only hides in the house and cries, which makes the boss in Xiaopang's heart unhappy, and in the end sighs and goes to class again. just stumbled like this, and after a few years, he really had a small success, at least he could get it. That's for another time.

Then I went to Jishitang to grab the medicine, Dr. Huang personally received them, read their prescriptions, and consulted the practice of Doctor Wang, he worked seriously, and prepared a small booklet separately to record Niu Dewang's pulse and condition. is also very stubborn and refuses to accept their medicine money, "Even if it is from this child, let me have some medical skills!" ”

All right! Everyone has made friends.

Niu Dewang cleaned up clearly, and Zhang Qingting's clothes were also drawn. When I showed it to everyone, I felt that it was novel and chic. Bi Tao hurriedly took a few needlework experts selected by Zhang Qingting last time, and came over every day to make new clothes.

The size of the clothes is set by Zhang Qingting, she only has a total of five pieces of cloth that can make clothes, and one piece of cloth can only make six sets, and there are only ten sets in total. It's troublesome to customize like an ordinary tailor's shop, she is a woman herself, and she knows that making things for women is the most troublesome, no matter how meticulous you do, she will always be able to find faults. Zhang Qingting has thought about it, what she is doing is a one-shot deal, and she will pull it down when she finishes it. So simply make all the materials into ready-to-wear, from childhood to adulthood, a total of six sets of sizes, a yard only one set, buy and leave it has nothing to do with her, if you want to change it, you can do it yourself.

Classes are also held in the hospital, Zhao Chengcai goes early every morning, returns in the evening, and lets Baozhu send him for lunch.

On this day, a group of women were working in the courtyard, and when they saw Qiao Minxuan jumping out again, they pulled the door frame and smiled, "I'm looking for Brother Wang'er!" ”

Speaking of which, although Niu Dewang people are stupid, they are honest and sincere, and their popularity is really good. Since the last time they met, Qiao Minxuan has been thinking about this fat brother, and he wants to come to him to play at every five times, and he is willing to go back obediently after playing for a while, and he will soon get acquainted with their family.

Zhang Qingting pretended to be angry, "Brother Wang'er wants to go to class, I can't play with you!" ”

"Just play for a while, for a while!" Qiao Minxuan stretched out a little finger high and put it between his eyes, and pleaded like a puppy, "Is it okay?" ”

Zhang Qingting couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay, you go find him!" Don't mess with him in class, you know? ”

Because they still have to do needlework here, Niu Dewangchu's flute is really unbearable, so he let him follow the master and hide in another courtyard in the Meng Mansion. Mrs. Meng lent him that place for class, and Niu Dewang should be taking a wood carving class at this time, anyway, he was doing handicrafts, and it didn't matter if he let the child play for a while.

Qiao Minxuan happily followed the nurse away, and suddenly a lady Shi sighed here, "In the end, it's a motherless child, pitiful!" ”

Zhang Qingting was slightly surprised, she still wondered in her heart why this Qiao Minxuan never saw him show his face every time he came back, and she was afraid that something was wrong, and it was not easy to ask, could it be that she was a motherless chick?

"Isn't it? Speaking of which, Second Master Qiao is really aggrieved. Bi Tao couldn't help but talk more, "It's almost a year since Madame passed away, but their family just won't give him a new string." What kind of heart is this! ”

Several women chattered, and Zhang Qingting quickly understood what was going on.

It turned out that this Qiao Zhongda was as clever and intelligent as the other brothers, but just because he was not a concubine, he was the child of the old master, the aunt and grandmother of Mengfu, and he was especially not treated by the new marquis at home.

That Hou Qiao's continuation is also a famous lady, and the relationship with the Meng family is mediocre, and the continuation of the string is not as good as Yuan Pei's eyebrows, and when he sees the concubine room left by his predecessor, it will be even more pimple. Although it is not good to embarrass them on the table, for fear of falling into a jealous notoriety, it is easy for a big family to secretly stumble. So over the years, Qiao Zhongda's mother has had a very difficult time, and outsiders guess that maybe Qiao Zhongda finally decided to embark on a business career, but he was also forced to do so.

But now that he has gone into business, although he has ruined his future and damaged his reputation, it is indeed a move that can bring benefits to the family. Mrs. Naqiao was afraid that he would be difficult to control if he had money, so she refused to let him out of the house. No matter how much money this Qiao Zhongda makes, he is only making wedding clothes for others, and he actually doesn't get much benefit.

Mrs. Shi said angrily, "It is said that we as subordinates should not talk about the Lord behind our backs, but Mrs. Qiao has also calculated!" Mrs. Zhao, you don't know, Second Master Qiao's former Mrs. Fang was a distant relative of Mrs. Hou, except for being a little more satisfactory, she really didn't have any family background, and she didn't deserve it at all. But if she doesn't marry, she is stunned and doesn't allow the second master to do business. That young lady is also short-lived, she has always been a disaster, she barely conceived Young Master Minxuan for eight months, and then she gave birth, and she took her life in vain. As for Mrs. Qiao, she went around telling people that the second master had a deep relationship with his husband and wife, and he was afraid that he would marry someone and wronged Young Master Minxuan, and he would be blocked from continuing the strings. forced people to go up and down, trapped in the house, and still made money for her! ”

Zhang Qingting understood, this family has a scripture that is difficult to read! But if Qiao Zhongda is really a smart person, why can't he get out of this cage?

"However, seeing that Young Master Minxuan is almost over the age of one, this has not been filial piety to his parents and husband since ancient times, can Mrs. Qiao still stop the second master from marrying? Then I'm afraid outsiders are going to talk about it! In one sentence, Bi Tao pointed out the core of the problem, "I'm afraid that Mrs. Qiao is asking which girl from her mother's family to fill in the house for him!" ”

Quite possibly! But...... Zhang Qingting raised his eyebrows slightly, secretly thinking in his heart, if today's Qiao Zhongda still has to be pinched and rounded, I am afraid that his business in the past few years can be regarded as really in vain!

On this day, all ten sets of garments were obtained, and the snow satin was cleaned, and cut piece by piece. These things have already been shown to Mrs. Meng, and she is only going alone now, begging her to invite Qiao Zhongda to see each other and entrust her to sell them.

Qiao Zhongda was very generous, sent someone to invite him in the morning, and arrived in the afternoon. Of course, Qiao Minxuan was also brought, and as soon as the little guy landed, he held a new gadget alof, and happily ran to Niu Dewang to share.

Old Madam Meng didn't feel it, but said meaningfully, "It's time for Minxuan to add a younger brother and sister!" ”

Qiao Zhongda pretended not to hear, looked intently at the clothes made by Zhang Qingting, appreciated it for a while, and asked the key, "Mrs. Zhao, how are you going to sell it?" ”

Zhang Qingting was frank, "I only have a total of ten sets, and the money alone is almost seven taels of silver, and I still haven't paid the wages." Therefore, except for the red one, which is more expensive, and sells for a set of twelve taels, the rest are all at a fixed price, and a set of ten taels of silver. Do you think it's done? ”

In this way, Zhang Qingting calculated that after paying the money for needlework and thread, and then giving a little tap for the consignment, he could also make a profit of forty or fifty taels, which is already good.

Qiao Zhongda smiled slightly, but pointed to the snow satin in his clothes and said, "What's the use of this?" ”

"This is a gift, buy a set and I'll get a piece!"

Qiao Zhongda's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but be a little impressed by her. After carefully looking at the goods, he immediately smiled and said, "If Mrs. Zhao sells it so cheaply, I can buy it all now!" ”

"No way!" Old Madam Meng objected.
