Chapter 601: Know in Your Heart
After Jiang Jingxue and Qingsheng left, the Liu family was also unable to sleep peacefully, Mrs. Liu was now determined to marry the second miss to Qingsheng, she was a little hesitant before, thinking that this would cause some trouble, but the second miss was sick like this, no matter how reluctant she was.
She only felt that if she didn't follow Qingqing's thoughts, even if she lived, she was afraid that she would be lifeless, no different from a corpse, so why treat her like this?
Moreover, sending her to the prefect as a concubine, where can she stand it, she has been pampered since she was a child, and now she has to treat her like this, it is too cruel.
And Mrs. Liu was also very insistent, but she didn't agree, Master Liu didn't express her position, she knew that her words couldn't work, so she pinned her hopes on Master Liu.
Mrs. Liu accompanied her in the second lady's room, and Mr. Liu went back to the study by himself, and Mrs. Liu followed closely behind, so she had to make a result.
Master Liu only felt that she was very annoying, "Can you let me be quiet, this matter is not going to be settled immediately, what are you forcing me to do like this?" Qingqing is my daughter, do you think I will hurt her? ”
Mrs. Liu snorted, "The old lady will not harm Qingqing, and the old lady will not harm her granddaughter, but I think about it, the old lady often goes to the countryside, those people are scheming, the old lady is afraid that she has been deceived, otherwise how could she say such outrageous words?" ”
"Master, even if Qingqing is not your favorite child, she grew up in front of you when she was a child, can you really bear to push her into the fire pit?"
Master Liu looked at her, "Why do you think that Zhuanghu is a fire kang?" People just have less property, maybe Qingqing married the son of the Fang family, and she is still living very comfortably. ”
Mrs. Liu heard that the tone was not quite right, and hurriedly said, "Master, you can't think like that, as the folk saying goes, marrying a man and marrying a man, dressing and eating, it doesn't matter if we have a bad life, it doesn't matter if we marry a farmer's family, but in a family like ours, a delicate girl marries a farmer's family, what will people outside say?" I don't know, I thought our daughter had some serious disease. ”
She kept chattering, but Master Liu only felt that his head hurt, and he said, "If Qingqing doesn't marry the Fang family, she will be a concubine, you may agree?" ”
Mrs. Liu glared and shook her head, "How can this be, how can a girl in our family be a concubine, isn't it a joke to spread it?" ”
Master Liu snorted coldly, "You don't want to do this, you don't want to do that, what do you think?" You don't know my difficulties, you don't care about things at home, you can't care about things outside, at this time I know in my heart, you just need to know, no matter what decision I make, it is for the good of Qingqing. ”
Mrs. Liu was even more puzzled, and at the same time she didn't dare to continue, she didn't know about the prefect's matter, but she also heard what Master Liu meant, as if Qingqing only had these two ways to go, either she would marry the Fang family's boy, or she would be a concubine, but how could it be?
"Well, I won't say much, I just hope that the master will pity Qingqing."
Master Liu pondered by himself for a night, but there was still no result, and for a moment, he wanted to make a decision, so he let Qingqing marry Qingsheng, but after thinking about it, he felt that the prefect would find trouble.
For another moment, I decided to give Qingqing to the prefect, but there was a picture of her secretly crying and dying in a few years, which was even more reluctant.
I made countless decisions in one night, but in the end, I was busy and didn't make a decision.
Before I knew it, it was dawn, and Mr. Liu washed up and went to Mrs. Liu's house for breakfast.
When she went, Mrs. Liu was burning incense, which was her habit for many years, talking to his dead father.
Master Liu happened to run into it, so he burned incense, but his heart was very sad.
Old Madam Liu said in a timely manner, "Your father also hugged Qingqing back then, if he was there, he would definitely not be willing to exchange his granddaughter for the future of the Liu family." ”
Master Liu took a long time before he spoke, "If you offend that one, I'm afraid that today's days will be gone, my mother has to wear clothes, and there is no daily bird's nest ginseng soup, my son can't be filial, and what face does he have to see his father." ”
Mrs. Liu sighed, "My mother has enjoyed enough happiness, if you want to send your granddaughter to the fire kang in exchange for wealth, I don't want such wealth, I also know your difficulties, you are afraid of being ashamed of your father, but you think about it, if your father is here at this time, how will he choose." ”
"As long as you are not ashamed of your conscience, even if the Liu family is no longer beautiful, your father will understand."
Speaking of this, Master Liu remembered his father's teachings when he was a child, he always held him in his arms, and said to him with a smile, "Little Dou'er, when you grow up, you must be a person worthy of your heart." ”
He didn't say a word, but he had the answer in his heart.
There has been no news from the Liu family for several days, Qingsheng is anxious, but he can hold on, he has already figured out that this thing may not come true.
However, he has not been idle, and has been busy preparing for admission to the hall these days.
Since he wanted to study hard and take the imperial examination, the village school might not be suitable for him, so Fang Chengdong personally took him to the Hu family and asked Hu Xiucai to take the test for him and see where it was appropriate to start now.
Hu Xiucai has been busy with this after school in the past few days, and the intelligence of the birthday celebration is beyond his imagination.
In the past, Hu Xiucai knew that Qingsheng was very smart, but he didn't expect to be so smart, but now he can hear it, and he learns things even faster.
He smiled and said, "Very good, Qingsheng is really a good seedling, and I have the heart to study, which is very helpful, I have found a good gentleman to teach, as long as I work hard, I will definitely make great progress." ”
Fang Chengdong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with a smile, "I'm relieved if you say this, I'm afraid that this kid won't be able to keep up, do you think it's appropriate to continue studying in the village school?" ”
Hu Xiucai said, "The knowledge of village learning is shallow, just to make students enlightened, if there is a plan to go further, naturally he still has to go to a bigger academy, Qingsheng learns things quickly, and staying in the village school is a bit delaying him." ”
Fang Chengdong really wanted Hu Xiucai to teach him, but he also knew that it was impossible, after all, there were still so many students to take care of.
Hu Xiucai thought for a while, "I know a gentleman, who is now teaching in a college in the town, the academy that was opened only the year before last, is not large, and there are only more than ten students, that gentleman is a student who cares about him, I have a little friendship with him, and I want to entrust him with the birthday." ”
The person recommended by Hu Xiucai, Fang Chengdong did not have the slightest suspicion, and immediately nodded, "Okay, okay, this matter will be troublesome to Xiucaigong." ”
Hu Xiucai said with a smile, "It's all my own family, where are the kind words, and this is also my student, and it is also my duty to find a way to celebrate my birthday." ”
