Chapter 188 Circumference

"Madam, the fourth master goes out on an errand, can you take the girl?" Xun Qingran didn't answer Second Lady Qi's words, but asked curiously.

Second Lady Qi's face froze.

"Citron is different, her family used to sell horses, and later opened a carriage shop, she can ride horses. Following You'er won't hold you back, and besides, it's still the old lady's training, so what are you worried about. ”

It's not a matter of worrying about it, but Qi You and his colleagues went out on an errand with their entourage, and there was a girl in the team, what kind of picture is this. I don't know what Second Mrs. Qi thinks, whether she wants Qi Yu to gain a reputation for being a gentleman, or to have a reputation for being lustful. Moreover, the citron turned out to be a capable person who could gallop on the horse, cook when he got off the horse, and make the bed and fold the quilt. How did Second Lady Qi discover such a talent, and when did she become so familiar with Citron?

Second Mrs. Qi saw that Xun Qingran was a little distracted, and said: "Don't be jealous, you are the grandmother of the main house of Jingui, how can you do such a thing." or serving the elders is the real dignity and decency. Who didn't come over like this when he was young, you are filial, no matter when, I will love you, and You'er will respect you, isn't this what we women ask for in this life?"

"Madam, on my way back today, I met my maiden brother Junhui." Xun Qingran said to the second lady with a happy face.

"Oh?" Second Mrs. Qi was stunned, why did Xun Qingran say that her mother's brother was here, was she unwilling to agree, and talk about her brother who had just ordered Tanhua?

Now the old man and the wife are concerned about the fifth brother's studies. Although our ethnology is also the best in the capital, the situation is inevitably smaller. The old man and the fourth master wanted to send the fifth brother to Zongxue, but the fifth brother was unwilling. ”

Speaking of Qi Yi, Second Lady Qi stroked her forehead, she was worrying about this matter these days, but she still couldn't be diverted from the topic by Xun Qing.

"I have my own ideas about your fifth brother, so let's talk about it first......"

"Madam, I got a piece of news that the fifth brother has hope for the top prize in the coming year." Xun Qingran threw out a colorful burden.

Second Mrs. Qi was a little unconvinced, but this burden was so attractive that she couldn't help but want to continue listening.

"Don't coax me, the master said, although your fifth brother is a little smart, he is a little deficient in his knowledge of the exam." Second Mrs. Qi said, of course, Second Master Qi's original words were "very insufficient".

"What else is there to learn, with the intelligence of the fifth brother, as long as you work hard, what is not good to learn, now it is so, maybe you haven't met the right gentleman." Xun Qing said.

Second Mrs. Qi couldn't help nodding, of course her son was good, so it was naturally Mr. 's problem.

"What do you mean?"

Xun Qingran said with a smile, "I want to talk to my wife about two happy things." First of all, knowing that my wife was worried about the future of my fifth brother, the fourth master and I had already paid attention. Last time, Junhui's classmates specially invited the fifth brother to the poetry meeting, and the fifth brother made two poems, which was very happy with Jing Lao. This Jing Lao is Junhui's mentor, and he once lectured for the current emperor, and he is an emperor's teacher. As long as he intends to accept his fifth brother as a disciple, he can let his fifth brother enter Lushan Academy to study. Junhui has been thinking about this matter, and now he has an eyebrow. ”

Second Lady Qi hesitated, "Yi'er can really enter Lushan Academy to study?" ”

The admission requirements of Lushan Academy are very strict, that is, if the imperial relatives want to enter this academy, they must also be recommended by famous teachers, and they must also pass the face-to-face examination of Confucianism, which can be said to be the clear stream of the cultural context. The Qi family and the Fang family are both military generals, but it is extremely difficult to enter Lushan Academy to study.

"Madam, this first thing is not a happy event compared to the second one." Xun Qingran lowered her voice again, "Madam, the imperial court plans to open another Enke, but it only examines poetry and essays, not official articles, and if you pass the exam, you have the same career background as the imperial examination." With the poetry of the fifth brother, this is not a champion who can be captured. ”

Second Lady Qi suddenly sat up from the couch, "Is there really such a thing?" ”

Xun Qingran nodded, "This is what Junhui said from Jing Lao." Jing Lao is the emperor's teacher, and he entered the palace a few days ago to have a long talk with His Majesty, so it is naturally accurate. ”

Second Lady Qi was already smiling with joy.

The matter of the poetry and literature examination is still in the plan, and it is not conclusive, it is a strategy of the imperial court to co-opt those talented idlers. Xun Qingran only wanted to turn away from Second Lady Qi first, and even wanted to impress Second Lady Qi with this. People to people, heart to heart. As the daughter-in-law of the Qi family and Qi Yi's sister-in-law, she contributes so hard and hard to Qi Yi. She didn't believe that Second Lady Qi really didn't eat oil and salt. Second Mrs. Qi should always know the truth of repaying the favor.

"As long as Jing Lao accepts the fifth brother as a disciple and writes a letter of recommendation, the fifth brother can participate in this poetry and literature examination. When the time comes, the fifth brother will be our family's Wenqu star. Xun Qingran said with a smile.

"Dye girl, if this thing is true, not only your fifth brother, but also my master and I will be grateful to you." Second Mrs. Qi grabbed Xun Qing's hand again, and her eyes were a little red.

Xun Qingran smiled and nodded, even if there is no Second Lady Qi, just look at Qi Yi's pure heart, she will also care about Qi Yi's affairs.

"Don't worry, madam, this matter is on me. If my wife is in a hurry, I will urge Junhui again and ask him to talk to his wife. ”

Qi Yi's matter also requires Xun Junhui to contribute. Even if Second Lady Qi is not grateful, she should know that she should be better to her at this time, Xun Qingran said secretly.

Xun Qingran said and stood up, she was also looking for a chance to leave, thirty-six plans to go, first slow things down, and go back to find out what happened.

Second Mrs. Qi had some contradictions in her heart, but she still didn't want to let Xun Qing go like this.

"Dye girl,"

"Madam, Baozhu is here, saying that the old lady is looking for the fourth grandmother everywhere, and she is anxious to ask the fourth grandmother to come over." A little girl came in to report.

"Madam, Sister Bao and Brother Guan are here." Another little girl came in and came back.

"The old lady called you, you go first." Second Lady Qi let go of Xun Qingran's hand.

The Rong family looked for Xun Qingran, and Sister Bao and Brother Guan came at this time, so Second Lady Qi had to let Xun Qingran leave first. And she also has to think about how to do it.

Xun Qingran breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye and came out of the upper room.

The orb hurriedly caught up.

"Grandma, it was Mama Xu who asked the maid to say this, and she must call grandma out. The old lady didn't send anyone to find her grandmother. Out of the prayer hall, the jewel whispered in Xun Qingran's ear.

Xun Qingran nodded, didn't go to Yinianju, and went back to Ning Yuanju.

Ning Yuan lived in the upper room, and Xun Qingran told Mama Xu everything that Second Mrs. Qi said to her.

"Grandma, according to the inference of the slave, the wife must have gotten some news from the virtuous concubine, and the fourth master is only afraid that he is not going out on an errand, but is more likely to be released as an official."

Xun Qingran also had this suspicion, so she asked Mama Xu, "Mrs. actually wanted to keep me, so she only sent a citron to follow the fourth master to take office." There is such a truth in the world!"

"Grandma should not be taken lightly. There are such things, the husband goes out to be an official, and the daughter-in-law is left at home to support her parents. It's just that grandma is not the eldest daughter-in-law, there are so many concubines in Qi Mansion, there is no reason why grandma has to stay. Mama Xu paused and said, "The slave heard of one thing, an old lady didn't like her daughter-in-law, so she made the decision to let her son marry her niece as a concubine. It happened that this son went out to be an official, and the old lady said that she was reluctant to give up her daughter-in-law, she was old and wanted to be supported, so she left her daughter-in-law to serve her at home, and only let her son take her niece to take office together. ”

"Mama, I didn't hide anything from Mama, Mama has something to say." Xun Qing said.

"The slave looked at his wife, and it seemed that something was not good. If the wife is sick, she must ask her grandmother to stay, and from the perspective of filial piety, the fourth master will be very embarrassed. Mama Xu said again.

Xun Qingran closed his eyes and traced pictures in his mind. She accompanied the second lady of Qi and withered day by day in mutual torture. Many years later, Qi Yu returned from foreign office, still young and handsome, and she was relatively speechless in the face of her harsh face. Then a large number of young and beautiful women appeared behind Qi You, and when they saw her appearance, they thought she was Qi You's mother, and rushed forward to call her "mother-in-law". Qi You still has a conscience, and scolds those women and makes them call her sister. Then, she called out the big and small buns of a whole football team arranged on the ladder and called her mother.

Xun Qingran shook his head violently and shook out these terrible imaginations.

"Citron?" Xun Qingran asked.

The orb went out, and in a moment brought in the citron.

Citron bent her knees and blessed her, "The maid asks for grandma." The maid waited outside the door, and did not dare to come in without the instructions of her grandmother. ”

Xun Qingran raised his head and looked the citron up and down. The citron was still smiling, and there was no flaw in her body.

"Well, you've worked hard." Xun Qingran said, "Why didn't you go with me today, but you are not feeling well?" ”

"Back to grandma, the maid is very good, the maid has always been in good health, and rarely gets sick. It's just that the servant has a quiet temperament. Thinking that the big guys have gone, it is better for the maid to stay and guard the yard for grandma. Moreover, there is also the embroidery of the group flowers on the grandmother's summer shirt, and a few stitches, and the maid plans to rush out as soon as possible. ”

It doesn't leak, but it's because it's too leaky, which makes people even more suspicious.

"Thank you for your hard work, go down." Xun Qing said.

The citron blessed again and withdrew.

"The slave came back and inquired, the citron used the excuse to find the girl next to his wife today, and went to the prayer hall, and it took more than an hour to come back." Mama Xu said in a low voice.

Xun Qingran called Mama Xu to her side, and the two discussed.

"Grandma, Skullcap is back, saying that the fourth master has something to give to grandma." The orb came in to report it.

"Let him in." Xun Qingran hurriedly commanded.

After a while, the skullcap came in from the outside, and stood only in the hall, saluting through the curtains.

"Grandma, the fourth master has an errand to be released, and there will be a holy decree coming down later, and the fourth master will send a slave to tell grandma first." Skullcap Road.

Qi Yu is really going to be released, Xun Qingran can't help but be happy and worried.
