Chapter 102: Chapter 102
Chapter 102 102Why is it biased?
After staying at Qi's house for three days, Qi Qi felt like returning home.
I came empty-handed, but took away the contents of two entire carriages.
There is the dowry that Mrs. Qi paid for, and the congratulatory gift that Qi Moxuan insisted on giving.
It is said that a poor scholar will make a rich man, and it is absolutely true.
After the banquet that day, I received three books of gifts. Gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy, paintings, four treasures of the study, antique ornaments, and gift boxes were piled all over the room. I also received dozens of house deeds and land deeds.
Although the two brothers of the Qi family have not yet separated, these things were sent to Qi Moxuan for his status as a member of the imperial family, so Qi Moxuan should have a say in these matters.
He took the initiative and chose eight gift boxes as well as a house deed and a land deed for Qi Qi.
Qi Qi naturally refused, but Qi Moxuan insisted, thinking that he was not here when she got married, and he was not here when the children were one month old, so now these are just to make up for the gifts at that time.
Qi Qi hesitated, saying that these were too expensive, not to mention that her marriage and children's full moon had already passed, and they were expired.
Qi Moxuan was silent for a long time before saying, "That's right. I'll use the gifts given by others to give them to you. It's like borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha. It's really informal. If you don't want them, just don't. Third brother will personally go to the county to pick out some good ones for you."
Qi Qi suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, and he was so upset that he spilled the beans.
Qi Moxuan pursed his lips and did not ask any more questions, but he also had some guesses in his mind. He sighed slightly and said, "That's not for you, it's reserved for little stars and little moons to use for their enlightenment in the coming year."
"Third brother, I don't mean that. Don't waste money on me." Qi Qi stamped her feet anxiously.
Hearing what he said, Qi Qi became angry, slapped the table, and blurted out, "Hey, where did you men get your bad habits? Give something as a gift and throw it away if you don't want it. Why, they are all rich and have a lot of money.
My hands are burning..."
Xiaowu, hey, the most troublesome thing is that she is simple-minded, she also likes to be competitive, and she is too competitive, so she will suffer in the future.
"As I said, buying things for you can't be a waste of money. Third brother is willing." Qi Moxuan looked at her disapprovingly.
However, she felt that Mo Xuan was very good at studying, while the old man and Shu Jin could only read rote books, not popular things, and they had not seen much achievements in their studies.
"Hey, okay, okay, I'll just take it, but I can't take so much. I'll choose two. I don't need the house deed or the land deed. You can keep it for yourself to marry your wife." Qi Qi picked out the gift boxes and broke them into pieces.
Read, "The family has not been divided yet, and there will be more places to spend money in the future. It is not good to spend a little money lavishly..."
Three carriages carrying people and objects left Qi's house in a mighty manner.
"Third brother, you are thinking too far. How old are they?" Qi Qi was a little funny. The baby was only a few months old. To be honest, he would have to wait at least six or seven years.
"What? Have I failed you all these years? You are short-sighted." Qi Lao Niang turned to look at Zhou Ci with cold eyes. After speaking, she ignored her and turned to go home.
"What do you mean if you don't mean that? Then what do you mean?" Qi Lao Niang glanced at her and looked at her hesitating. Qi Lao Niang sneered, "I'm not dead yet, and it's not your turn in this family.
Make the decision. Okay, go ahead and do whatever you have to do, don’t follow me."
"Mother, mother, don't be angry, I didn't mean it like that." Zhou Ci was frightened and hurried to catch up, but his explanation was a little weak.
After the old man and Shujin found out, they both lectured him and told him to focus on his books and not waste time doing such things to make money.
Qi Lao Niang walked with an expressionless face, but her mind had gone through thousands of times and thought a lot.
Feelings are also mutual, and giving and receiving can only be felt with your own heart, so how can you blame it for being biased?
Just like Shu Jin and Mo Xuan, they also study for merit and fame, and she gives them the same monthly money.
The children are all her biological children, so there is indeed some partiality, but you can't blame her.
Her eyes flickered, she looked around and said, "No one, I just gave an example casually."
When I asked about it later, I found out that in his spare time, Mo Xuan would go to a bookstore to copy books or set up a stall to write letters to people in exchange for scraps of silver to supplement his daily expenses.
When Xiao Si was a child, she saw Wen Jing as a well-behaved person, but she never thought that she was a brooding and thoughtful person, especially after she got married.
Mrs. Qi left, and Zhou Ci stood there with a bulging belly, an annoyed look on his face, and tension and fear in his eyes.
"I become enlightened at the age of three, and become wise at the age of seven. It happens in the blink of an eye." Qi Moxuan stood up, waved his sleeves and said, "Okay, hurry up and pack up. Weren't we always in a hurry to leave, but now the ink stains are on it.
"
Mo Xuan is smart, intelligent, sensible and affectionate. If he becomes very successful in the future, he will have to rely on him to support the Qi family.
Xiao Qi has a lively and cheerful temperament, and has been sweet-tongued and lovable since she was a child. It would have been great if that incident had not happened. Now she only hopes that she and the children will be well.
Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Qi Zhou Ci saw each other off at the gate.
Qi Qi stared at his leaving figure with wide eyes, pouting speechlessly.
"Oh, this is an inkstone. Why give it to me? You can keep it for yourself." The items in the eight boxes were all very good. When Qi Qi was asked to choose, he really didn't know what to pick. Out of the corner of his eye, he happened to catch an inkstone and was busy.
Point to it and change the subject.
She gave birth to five children, but their personalities were completely different.
Ten fingers have different lengths, not to mention human feelings. How can we use scales to measure them and achieve absolute fairness?
Qi Moxuan raised his eyebrows and narrowed his phoenix eyes, "Who else has given you something?"
After listening to her words, Qi Moxuan felt at ease and happy, "Okay, don't pick them. They were all specially picked for you. If you don't take them away, I will throw them away."
It's not enough for Shujin to run out of money every month, but Mo Xuan will use the extra money to buy her some gifts, a wooden hairpin, a box of cakes...
Shujin is dull, dull and doesn't know how to adapt, and he looks very much like an old man.
There were still tears in the corners of Qi's eyes, and she was extremely reluctant to let her two little grandsons leave. She was feeling sad when she heard a sour sigh next to her ear, "The third brother treated Xiaoqi so well. I exchanged two cars worth of things."
Cheng Yin Liang should be enough for our family’s expenses for a few years..."
Sure enough, Mo Xuan won the imperial examination this time, and the two of them, the old man didn't say anything, Shu Jin was afraid that he would stop at being a scholar.
The Qi family is not rich, and the amount of money they have to pay for each exam is very heavy. I told Shujin that Zhou Ci, the daughter-in-law, somewhat valued her family's small assets, and the dowry should be quite large. I thought she would be like her before.
Generally, some subsidies are provided so that Shujin can continue to take the exam.
Unfortunately, it was only after entering the door that I discovered that Zhou Ci was a shrewd person and held onto the dowry money tightly, not missing anything.
Naturally, Mrs. Qi would not take the initiative to ask her daughter-in-law to provide money. She also understood that not everyone is as stupid as her.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't get out, anyway, if she marries into the Qi family, she will become a Qi family, as long as she can live a good life with Shujin.
