13. Li Yi's flexibility
After the Spring Festival this year, Ziqing and Chen were busy with their sons' marriages, Yongsong because he was admitted to Shu Jishi, and also said that he was a good relative, the woman's father also served in the household department with Zixi, and he was a foreigner from the fifth grade, the woman took a fancy to Yongsong's future, she herself was good enough, and the emperor would definitely reuse it because of the Shu Jishi who had stayed abroad, plus Zixi and Zi had the backing, and the future was visible and bright
Liu's is also busy now, Yongling is fifteen this year, even Yanran said kiss, and said a good kiss, Yongling naturally followed the borrowing light, just after the first month, there were several families who came to ask for marriage, Liu smiled and said, but to pick well
Adults' affairs, children do not mix, however, after marrying, Yanran is much busier than before, every day to follow Ziqing to learn housekeeping, learn to read account books, learn to make their own account books, but also follow Mama Hua to learn the rules, a smile, a sitting, there are requirements, fortunately, Mama Hua has been with Yanran for a few years, and it can be regarded as a few years imperceptibly, compared with Ziqing, Yanran is much stronger
On this day, at the end of the month, when Mu was resting, Shuyu suddenly said to Ziqing: "Mother, I don't want to study anymore, I want to follow my father to learn to do business, I was also interested in that, the eldest brother and the second brother will be officials in the future, and I already have the identity of a showman, so it doesn't hurt to do business."
Shuyu passed the Xiucai exam last year, but he was not admitted to the Guozijian examin, and he was still reading the book in Wensan 138, so he suddenly said this, Ziqing was taken aback Qing'er's pastoral life 13
"Tell my mother, why don't you want to study? If you want to do business, my mother doesn't object, but my mother said that you have to wait until after the age of eighteen, right? "Ziqing's children's shoes are too early to make a decision, and it will be too late to regret it in the future
"Mother, I'm not young anymore, my father is the first time to go out to do business, and I'm so old, everyone in our family can't be officials, and the family's business is always taken over."
"However, your current situation is different from your father's back then, your father has no one to rely on, so he has to go out to listen to his mother's words, and when you finish these three years, you will come and tell me what you want to do after the exam, okay?"
Shu Yu still wanted to say something Liu sent someone to look for Ziqing, but Shu Yu had to put down his own affairs and find Yanran's house
Yan Ran was checking the family's expenses for this month on the kang table, and when she saw Shuyu coming in listlessly, she put down the things in her hand and asked, "Third brother, is something wrong?" ”
"Sister, you said that the third brother doesn't go to school and goes to earn money with his father, okay?" Shu Yu knew that Yan Ran was also a fan of small fortune and asked
Yan Ran listened and looked at Shuyu, as if there was a bit of inquiry
"What's the matter, sister, looking at my brother like this?"
"Brother, how did you think of giving up your studies to earn money? Have you forgotten, my mother often told us that many things cannot be bought with silver, such as study, such as wisdom such as time, where does wisdom come from? Isn't it still from school? Third brother, are you short of money? If you give up your studies now to earn money, what will you regret one day in the future? Could it be that you can still use the money to buy back your time? ”
"But, sister, you know, I don't like to learn these things, what I want to learn, I can't learn in the academy" Shuyu said quite distressedly, these eight-strand articles, he was tired of reading them, this Xiucai, or barely passed the exam, because there is no identity of a Xiucai, he is a civilian, and doing business can't change his background
"Third brother, if you don't come to me, I also want to go to your third brother, I actually want to persuade you to go to the West to have a look, and also go to study for a few years, like the eldest brother, don't you think the eldest brother has changed a lot? Needless to say, being calmer than before, not to mention academics, is the way the eldest brother thinks about problems, and the eldest brother's conversation, don't you think it's too bad? ”
"I also know, but, sister, the third brother will definitely not be able to pass the exam"
"Third brother, why can't you be flexible, you can't be selected by the household department, but, our family has its own business in Great Britain, Ah Shui and they go to Great Britain once or twice a year, and there is no shortage of money at home, you won't go to school by yourself?"
Yan Ran's words were like an initiation, which made Shuyu suddenly brighten up, hugged Yan Ran hard, and then ran out, colliding with Li Yi who entered the door
"Brother-in-law, I have something urgent to find my father, you can go and see your sister by yourself" Shuyu threw a sentence to Li Yi, and ran to find Lin Kangping
"What's wrong with Shuyu?" Li Yi entered the room and asked
Yanran said what happened just now, "The third brother doesn't like to learn Bagu, he doesn't like to learn the scriptures, he is interested in making money, when he was young, he said that he wanted to run his own factory and his own national industry, but this is not a matter of making cars behind closed doors, what kind of goods are not in the stomach, what kind of factory can be opened?" ”
"Sister, this year has changed a lot, and I actually speak a little like an aunt" Li Yi joked, Yanran's words were long and long, and people couldn't refute them
"My brother came to laugh at me, too?" Yan Ran said angrily, however, it didn't pounce on Li Yi's body again like when she was a child, although the two were married, but Yan Ran was much more self-respecting than before, Li Yi missed the soft body that could be held in her arms casually when she was a child Qing'er's pastoral life 13
"However, if Shuyu wants to go, why don't I come and think of a way for him, why don't you go with them and take care of each other, what do you say?"
"Forget it, this gale dynasty estimates that there are a lot of people who want to stay abroad, you have thought of a way for him, in case someone catches him, it is always a drawback, it is not beneficial to you, and my family is not short of this bit of silver" Things that are harmful to Li Yi, Yanran is determined not to do it, which Li Yi is also deeply moved in his heart
Li Yi listened to Yanran's sentence "My family is not short of this bit of silver" and suddenly thought of a way, and said: "It's better like this, look at how much silver the court spends every year to send them to study, and then see how many people can't pass the selection of the household department, and those who are willing to spend their own money to go out to study, the court can also give them a chance, in this way, the court will save money, and after these people come back from abroad, they can also do things for the court, whether they are officials or business, it is beneficial to the court, what do you say?" ”
Yan Ran clapped her hands and said: "Brother's method is good, it's better to follow what my brother said, and my brother will go back to ask my father for advice first."
Li Yi listened and held Yanran's little hand, and said: "I just came to see my sister, my sister will let me go, why don't my sister accompany me to play a game, I haven't played chess with my sister for a few days, my brother wants to see if my sister has improved?" ”
Yan Ran listened, and set up the chessboard according to her words, where did Li Yi want to play chess, but it was just an excuse to stay with Yan Ran for a while, Yan Ran was still a child after all, thinking about Shuyu's affairs, always thinking about urging Li Yi to go back to the palace to do business, where did he have the heart to play with him?
When Li Yi went out, Yanran chased after him again: "If there is news, send someone to tell me"
Not to mention that Li Yi went back to the palace to discuss this matter with Li Han, 138 looked at the book room and found Lin Kangping, and begged Lin Kangping to let him spend his own money to study abroad
After all, Lin Kangping has been in Heng for more than two years, and he really weighed Shu Yu's proposal carefully, and agreed After all, if Shu Yu really plans to run his own industry, he must introduce other people's advanced technology from Heng, especially the invention of the steam engine, which the technicians of the Great Wind Dynasty have never heard of
Seeing that Lin Kangping agreed, Shuyu jumped on Lin Kangping's body excitedly, "Daddy, great, I won't let Daddy's silver be wasted, Daddy will wait and see"
"Don't be too happy too early, when you tell your mother, be gentle, if you are sad, I can't spare you," Lin Kangping instructed
"I know, my father's heart is always the most important thing for my mother," Shuyu was also in the mood to laugh
Lin Kangping smiled when he heard this: "When you grow up, you will understand"
Shu Yu easily looked forward to Shu Rui going home, and pulled him to see Ziqing, Ziqing didn't open his mouth yet, Yanran first told Li Yi's thoughts, Lin Kangping listened to Ziqing and smiled: "Since the children have this idea, I don't think it's a bad thing to go out, and it will take three or four years."
Ziqing is more interested in Li Yi's proposal, this kid, who knows how to be flexible at such a young age, has a long vision, and knows that when these people come back, even if they don't become officials, do business, and develop national industries, they will also prosper the economy of the Gale Dynasty, and also increase taxes for the Gale Dynasty, which is really a matter of counting in one fell swoop
Shu Yu saw that Ziqing didn't know what to think, so he sat down in front of Ziqing, pulled Ziqing's sleeve, and said: "Mother, I promise to come back in three years, and I will definitely be able to earn this silver back without spending the family's money."
"Did I say I wouldn't let you go? But there is one thing, you are not allowed to bring a foreign daughter-in-law back to your mother, my mother doesn't like it."
Everyone laughed when they heard it, and said with a smile: "I don't want a foreign sister-in-law, it's weird and scary to listen to, yellow hair and blue eyes, like a monster, I can't understand what I say, third brother, remember my sister's words, otherwise, I don't want you as a third brother."
After Yanran's words were finished, Shu Rui laughed even more, and Shu Yu's face turned red, "Mother, what do you see you talking about?" When my brothers left, I didn't see you tell me this, so I didn't let my mother rest assured? ”
Ziqing touched her son's head and said, "Silly son, my mother is teasing you."
Ziqing thought of the Shen family many years ago, the Shen family would send Zifu out one by one, and then look forward to the day when they went home every day, Ziqing was good, and sent it farther, and they were all sent to Heng one by one
The family was about to eat, and Li Yi came in again, "Shuyu, you can go to Heng, and the court meeting will discuss this matter tomorrow" Qing'er's pastoral life 13
"What is Shuyu called, you want to call the third brother" Shuyu will also be in the mood to teach Li Yi a lesson, the love over the years is in, it is really difficult for their brothers to treat Li Yi as a prince, plus Li Yi has always been attached to Yanran and Ziqing, these brothers all want to take advantage of Li Yi's advantage for a few years earlier
