"Actually, I can understand Haitang's concerns." After Zisu drank the medicine in his hand, he took the tea cup from Qiu Yanzhu's hand, rinsed his mouth, spit the water into the spittoon on the side, and took a deep breath.
After calming down the bitterness in his mouth, Fang said to Qiu Yanzhu: "After all, the Chen family has been a famous family for a century, and even ordinary officials have to weigh it, not to mention her current status."
Qiu Yanzhu placed the empty medicine bowl in his hand on the table outside, turned back and walked in, saying to Zi Su: "In that case, why do you still make it difficult for her? Why don't you think of other ways early in the morning."
Zi Su sighed, took a big pillow to cushion her back, and then said to Qiu Yanzhu: "First, I want to know how determined she is to cooperate, and second, I want to tell her that my money is not
It’s so easy to get.”
"Then have you ever thought about what if Haitang refuses?" Qiu Yanzhu took off his robe and sat on Zi Su's bed. He also took a big pillow behind him, looked at Zi Su with shining eyes, and said softly: "What if Haitang refuses?"
What are you going to do with your proposal?"
"She won't refuse."
"Huh?" Qiu Yanzhu looked at Zisu suspiciously.
Zisu smiled faintly and said softly: "If she was really smart, she wouldn't refuse."
"How do you say this?"
Zi Su pulled the big pillow behind her and threw it aside, shrank into the quilt, and said softly: "Let's not talk about the old gynecological expert I found for her. Let's just say that if she can really get her wish, she will get a child.
Half-woman, with her background, do you think the eldest lady in Commander Yang's residence can be tolerated?"
Qiu Yanzhu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's very dangerous!"
"In the commander's house, among the concubines with seven or eight bedrooms, she is the most favored at the moment, but what about in the future?" Zisu said lightly: "She is not a good concubine, but a low-born concubine. At the moment, she is the most favored concubine.
It's just that the concubines in the house are hindering their master and don't dare to do anything to her. But as time goes by, the beauty has grown old and the kindness has faded. What will be the result? She needs a powerful foreign aid. If there is no
With power comes money. As the saying goes, money can make the world go round. Although there are many aunts in command of the envoy's house, there are not many rich aunts!"
Qiu Yanzhu nodded in agreement.
Zi Su then continued: "Although I promised to give her five thousand taels of silver a year, what if one day I leave Furong Town? Or what if she leaves Furong Town?"
"Leave?" Qiu Yanzhu suddenly straightened up, glared at Zisu and said, "When are you going to leave? Okay, why are you leaving?"
Zi Su quickly waved her hands and said, "I'm just using an analogy." Seeing Qiu Yanzhu's brows relax, Zi Su secretly sighed and said softly: "Yan Zhu, if the Miss Chen family who participates in the palace draft next spring is really selected,
.You said that the Chen family will give up and give up, will Chen Jixiu just stop?"
Qiu Yanzhu suddenly raised his eyebrows, tilted his head slightly, and gritted his teeth and said: "If he dares to act recklessly, I will fight him!"
Zi Su shook his head, the scholar was angry, he was probably talking about Qiu Yanzhu!
"I've thought about it. If that's the case, then let's move away."
"Move?" Qiu Yanzhu looked at Zi Su suspiciously.
Zi Su nodded, "Where can't we live with money? The big deal is, we will move to Dahua then. No matter how long the Chen family's hands are, they can't reach Dahua!"
Qiu Yanzhu suddenly remembered that Zisu once told Tao Chenghai not to transport wolfberries here again. Thinking about it, at that time, Zisu had a plan in mind!
"Su Su, why don't I go take the scientific examination?" Qiu Yanzhu looked at Zi Su and said softly: "If I am an official, the Chen family will always be a little afraid."
"That depends on how big an official you are!" Zi Su smiled amusingly: "You have to know that if the young lady of the Chen family is lucky, she can fly to the golden branch, but you are different, even if you participate Don’t you still have to have time to take the imperial examination? Besides, you have no interest in your official career, so why bother forcing yourself to do things that make you unhappy!”
"That's different!" Qiu Yanzhu lowered his head and said dejectedly: "In the past, I was not angry at using my own pain to make others happy, but now, it is for you and our future. No matter what, we must try , If I can get the top prize in the exam, show my face in front of the emperor, and don’t hold high or low positions, I can even file an imperial petition and find a place, right?"
Zi Su knew about Qiu Yanzhu. If he really wanted to have an official career, he would not still be a scholar now. It can be said that she knew him better than Qiu Yanzhu himself.
If Qiu Yanzhu could enter the Imperial Academy and become a writer, he might still be able to do so peacefully. If he were put into the complex dyeing vat of the officialdom, he would be able to hang around for a year and a half instead of him. When he was criticized and dismissed from his post and investigated, he just left with his own seal!
Instead of doing this, it is better to let him be a free and independent farmer. Anyway, she can support the family! But a man's self-esteem is there, but it cannot be hurt at will.
Therefore, Zi Su only hesitated for a moment and then said softly: "Okay, you can decide for yourself. Anyway, what I said is, don't make it too difficult for yourself. What matters in life is to be comfortable."
"Yes, I know." Qiu Yanzhu responded, listened to the sound of the drums, and said softly: "Go to sleep, I will be busy when I get up early tomorrow."
Zi Su nodded, then closed her eyes seriously, turned over and fell asleep.
Over here, Qiu Yanzhu couldn't sleep for a while, and didn't dare to turn over for fear of disturbing Zi Su.
What was turning over and over in my heart and mind was Chen Jixiu's arrogant appearance on the wedding night. If such a person really had such a princess again in the Chen family, the consequences would be really worrying!
No, we have to think of a way to cut off the Chen family's path in the bud.
After making up her mind, Qiu Yanzhu looked at Zisu who was breathing evenly beside her, tucked her in the quilt, then quietly turned out of bed, walked to the study room on the east side, lit a lamp, and started writing furiously.
When the letter was finished, he took it in his hand and looked at it, carefully reviewed the words and sentences, and revised a few places appropriately. He took a piece of white paper again, and after writing it once, it folded into a square shape. , took a set of envelopes, sealed them with wax, and put them under the book on one side, then the sound of the third watch drum sounded in my ears.
Then he covered his mouth, laughed, got up, and walked towards the inner room.
Unexpectedly, in just a moment, the thin quilt covering Zi Su was kicked over by her, and most of her body was exposed. The undulating body like mountains was clearly visible, and Qiu Yanzhu immediately felt a wave of Heat rose from the soles of his feet and rushed straight into his mind, making his breathing a little heavier.
However, in my mind, I remembered Mr. Lang's repeated instructions not to have sex while taking the medicine.
Qiu Yanzhu took a deep breath, stepped forward, picked up the quilt that Zi Su had kicked aside, and covered Zi Su with it. After touching Zi Su's small onion-like toes, she felt that they were not so cold. He breathed a long sigh of relief.
He couldn't help but laugh out loud and said: "How come such a big person still looks like a child when he sleeps?"
Zisu, who was sleeping, could not hear Qiu Yanzhu's doting scolding, so he turned over and continued to sleep.
Qiu Yanzhu lay down next to Zi Su, looking at the jade-like person in front of him, he gradually fell asleep.
The next day.
When Zi Su woke up from a dream, she saw that her pillow was empty, so she shouted a few times.
"Yanzhu, Yanzhu..."
Qingqing, who was waiting outside the door, called out and walked in with the woman carrying hot water.
"Grandma is awake!"
Zi Su nodded, turned over, and went to clean up in the clean room without mentioning it, while asking: "Where is the uncle?"
"Master got up very early and asked the slaves not to disturb grandma."
Qingqing went to make the bed while replying to Zisu's words.
Zi Su walked out of the clean room and sat in front of the dressing table to prepare her makeup. After listening to Qing Qing's words, she turned around and said, "Going out?"
"Yes."
Out so early?
What to do?
Suddenly, I remembered what Qiu Yanzhu said about taking the scientific examination. Maybe, let’s get ready!
At that moment, Zisu didn't think too much and said to the woman behind her who was waiting to comb her hair: "Come on with a simpler hair style. I'm at home today and won't go out."
"Yes, grandma."
Over here, Qingqing tidied up the bed, then went to open the wardrobe and asked Zisu what style she wanted to wear today.
"You won't go out, so dress simply."
Qingqing took out a close-colored dress and helped Zisu put it on.
Unexpectedly, when Zisu had breakfast and was going to go for a walk in the back yard to eat, someone came to the concierge to report that there was a person claiming to be Mrs. Yu who wanted to see her.
"It's her?!"
Zisu Dang was stunned for a moment, thinking that Haitang would have to think about it for a few more days, but she didn't expect that it would only be one night, so she sent her mother-in-law to come.
However, I don’t know whether this brings good news or bad news to Granny Yu?
"Bring them here." Zisu said to Qingqing.
Qingqing retreated, and while she was having a cup of tea, Mrs. Yu followed Qingqing, walking over with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes.
"Old slave, I've met grandma." Mrs. Yu bowed in obeisance.
Zi Suxu waved her hand, "Mom, you don't have to be polite, but is there something wrong with your grandma?"
Mrs. Yu raised her face slightly, her eyes fixed on the three inches of land in front of Zi Su, and she said softly: "My grandma asked the old slave to tell me that the Mid-Autumn Festival will be here in a few days, so I want to pick some beautiful ones."
The lanterns are hanging in the house. I asked grandma if she has time. If so, let’s go together.”
Zisu's originally calm face immediately broke out into a bright smile.
Haitang is indeed a smart person!
Immediately, he said: "Mom, tell your grandma back for me, I have time."
"Yes, the old slave will go back and reply now."
Zisu asked Qingqing to send Mrs. Yu out again.
Then, he called the woman who was waiting on the other side and said: "Go and see if the uncle is back. If he is, invite him over quickly and say that I have something to discuss."
"Yes, grandma."
The mother-in-law stepped back.
Zi Su sat on the cool stone pier, with a faint smile on her face, and stared at a clump of wisteria flowers not far away.
