Chapter 52: The Spring Palace
"Mother! Big brother is eccentric!"
Su Yaxian took her into her arms: "What's wrong?"
Xie Sixian pouted and complained: "I just saw that my eldest brother taught my sister-in-law to write hand in hand!" He never held me and taught me how to write!"
In the silent night, Xie Sixian's immature and delicate children's voice reached everyone's ears.
Qi Lele looked up, looked at the large window that he had forgotten to close, and his cheeks were silently red.
Xie Zi'an let go of his hand, walked to the window, and said loudly, "Xianxian, you come."
Xie Sixian looked innocent: "What did the eldest brother tell me to do!"
"Teach you how to write."
Xie Sixian's eyes lit up, and she was about to go over, but was stopped by Su Yaxian: "It's too late, let the eldest brother teach you tomorrow morning."
"Three words."
"Big brother just said three words! I'll learn it soon!" Xie Sixian said, broke free from Su Yaxian's embrace, and entered the house happily.
Su Yaxian shook her head, this stupid girl!
Qi Lele watched the little girl run in with a happy face, and was hugged to her knee by Xie Zi'an with anticipation, but after a cup of tea, she ran out crying again, and looked at someone speechlessly: "Are you such a big brother?"
A word and a stroke, my eyes are dizzy, where can I remember?
Xie Zi'an said: "Always teach her to know that the world is sinister, and people who are not close to her will not deceive her."
Qi Lele was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Xie Zi'an to say such a thing.
"What?"
Qi Lele shook her head, she just remembered that her grandmother had said something similar.
"Come."
This night, Qi Lele was encircled in Xie Zi'an's arms, and after practicing words for a long time, there was a faint fragrance of ink in his dreams.
On the second day, Xie Zi'an went to the county seat with Wang Yuzhong early in the morning, but Qi Lele didn't go, taking advantage of the other party's absence, he secretly entered the space.
I haven't come for a while, and the crops in the space have sprouted, and the tender green is pleasing to the eye.
Qi Lele entered the small courtyard, there was a room full of books, thanks to Almighty online shopping, she found a lot of books at a low price, many of which are planting-related books.
Now that the field has been bought, and the seeds and manpower are about to be in place, it is time to prepare for spring sowing, the Xie family has given such trust, and Qi Lele also wants to repay it with his heart.
In addition, if you can effectively increase production, you will not have to worry about running out of money in the future!
Thinking of the silver, Qi Lele couldn't help but feel a little worried, she had a lot of ideas to make money, but most of them she didn't dare to take out yet.
Moreover, looking at Xie Zi'an's meaning, it seems that she doesn't want Xie Dai and Su Yaxian to know about the lack of money at home, so she can do even less.
Qi Lele's gaze wandered across the rows of bookshelves, and finally landed in one place, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart.
Out of the space, Qi Lele decisively looked through the books placed in the room, with Xie Zi'an's temperament, there is a chance that there will be that kind of book.
"There it is!"
Put the skin of the textbook, this kind of thing, what student hasn't done it?
Qi Lele looked at the "Book of Songs" in her hand and showed a smug smile, but when she continued to flip through a few pages, her smugness turned into consternation.
This turned out to be a painting of this spring palace!
Qi Lele looked at this book, her face became red, it's not that she has no world, it's just that when she thinks that Xie Zi'an can actually read this kind of book, she feels ashamed!
Although Xie Zi'an often teases her with his wife and wife, and occasionally has some intimate movements, he has always had an inexplicable sense of proportion.
Especially in bed, he never crossed the line, he never even flirted with words, and his words and deeds were like a gentleman, so that in just a few days, Qi Lele was used to the life of a male roommate.
I didn't expect such a gentleman to secretly look at the Spring Palace map!
Qi Lele silently put the book back in its place and continued to rummage through it, but found nothing.
Is this the way
Be obstructed?
At this time, hearing Aunt Wang calling her, Qi Lele hurriedly answered and went out, it turned out that Du Lanqiu came to find her.
Qi Lele hurriedly said, "Come in."
Du Lanqiu's eyes were red: "No, I just have a few words I want to tell you."
"It's not a few words to explain you like this, come in first, it's okay."
Du Lanqiu followed Qi Lele's strength and entered the door.
At this hour, Xie Dai and Su Yaxian didn't get up, and a few small ones were nowhere to be seen, Aunt Wang probably deliberately avoided it, Qi Lele brought people into the room, closed the doors and windows, and poured her a cup of hot water.
Du Lanqiu drank a few sips of hot water and gradually calmed down, feeling that his trip was a little inappropriate.
"I ......"
Qi Lele didn't urge, and poured a glass of water to drink.
After a long time, Du Lanqiu finally spoke: "I just want to ask, do you still want to buy land?"
"If there is a suitable one, Xie Zi'an would like to buy more."
That is, to buy it, Du Lanqiu felt relieved, and said, "You also know about my family, because my father has no news, and my grandparents don't want to see us, when they first split up, they only divided us with 6 acres of woodland and 2 acres of paddy fields."
"Last year, didn't Li Zheng ask us to plant mulberry trees instead? I discussed it with my mother and planted it, but my uncles didn't, and this year, they wanted to raise silkworms, but people who didn't plant mulberry trees couldn't get silkworm seeds from Lizheng who didn't need money."
"They came up with a way to marry me off and let my mother go back to live with my grandparents, and those acres of land would be theirs."
Qi Lele listened quietly, and his heart gradually rose with anger, and asked, "Then what are your plans?"
Du Lanqiu said, "I want to sell all the land and take my mother away."
"Where?"
"Go to a nearby county." Du Lanqiu paused and said, "I won't hide it from you, over the years, my mother and I have relied on copying books and embroidery, and I have also saved some silver, I didn't leave before, it was my mother who didn't give up, but now she doesn't want to stay here."
Qi Lele pondered for a moment and said, "Have you and your mother thought about it?"
Du Lanqiu was silent.
"Would you like to hear from me?"
Du Lanqiu nodded: "You say."
Qi Lele said: "I think it's too unsafe for your mother and daughter to go to the county seat to rent a house with money in such a rash manner."
Du Lanqiu's tears came out again: "Otherwise, what else can I do? The people they found for me are far away! If I get married, my mother's temperament will really be forced to death by them!"
Qi Lele held her hand: "Don't cry, there may not be no way."
Du Lanqiu grabbed her hand: "What a way!"
"They are only greedy for your land, and as long as the land is gone, they will not force you." Qi Lele said slowly: "I remember that my aunt's body and bones look a little weak, so it's better to wronged my aunt and let her pretend to be sick, and then you pretend to sell land to treat the disease."
Du Lanqiu said, "What if they want me to marry?"
Qi Lele looked at her, "You really don't want to get married?"
"No, I don't want to, I'm going to recruit a son-in-law!"
