Qin Dewei's strong resistance was expected by Mrs. Xu, or it was very reasonable. Because young people tend to cherish their face and do not overly calculate the gains and losses.
But Mrs. Xu’s idea was not impulsive, but the result of careful consideration.
The Xu family has adopted Qin Dewei as their adopted son, which will not pose any threat to the status of Dafang's eldest son and third child Xu Shi'an.
On the contrary, Qin Dewei has a good friendship with Lao San and is so smart that he can also be a big help to Lao San to resist the threat from Xu Shining and Xu Erge.
Moreover, Mrs. Xu inquired at the clan school, and Mr. Zeng said that Qin Dewei's talent was astonishing, and that he might actually be a scholar with great potential.
If Qin Dewei succeeds in the future, won't the Xu family gain a fortune in vain? Moreover, it is an extremely scarce cultural resource for a family of military officers.
You must know that Liu Yushi is like a sword hanging over the head of the Xu family, especially the head of the Xu family. It may fall down and kill someone at any time.
Even if the eldest son takes over the command in the future and the third son succeeds in benefiting hundreds of households, he may still be pulled down by the vengeful civil servants in power.
Even if you don't want to go that far, from the current perspective, letting Zhou occupy the second bedroom position can be regarded as blocking Aunt Liu's return to a certain extent.
At the same time, by doing things above board, it also saves me from being suspicious and guessing between Master and Zhou every day, which will lead to unrest in the family.
But the premise is that Qin Dewei needs to be willing to recognize the Xu family. Otherwise, Qin Dewei will feel resentful and helpless, which will not be beautiful.
After making up her mind, Mrs. Xu said to Qin Dewei amiably: "You guys are impulsive in what you say and do. I also have good intentions and want to solve the problem between you mother and son.
This matter is not urgent. Brother Qin, please don't get involved and think about it in the long term. If you want to do something, everyone must be satisfied. Our Xu family is a kind family, so we can still force you to do it."
What else could Qin Dewei say, he could only salute and say: "Thank you, madam, for your understanding."
Mrs. Xu looked at Qin Dewei, the more she looked, the more satisfied she became. She said with a smile: "Only the three of us know about these discussions tonight, please do not spread them to outsiders."
Qin Dewei replied again: "Young man knows that this is a matter of family honor and honor, so how dare you spread the word!"
Coming out of the front hall, Qin Dewei sighed and felt very complicated.
If the Xu family wanted to bully themselves and their mother, it would be easy, just roll up your sleeves and do it... Who can't bully a poor young man? But the Xu family doesn't do things like this!
Qin Dewei disliked being bored in the utility room, so he didn't rush back to the house and went for a walk outside the door to think about something on his mind.
But I saw someone standing next to the stone lion at the door, circling back and forth. Looking through the moonlight, I vaguely looked like Mr. Zeng.
"Mr. Zeng? Why are you here?" Qin Dewei asked in confusion.
Mr. Zeng looked up and saw Qin Dewei, and replied: "I was hesitating whether to ask to see the master of the Xu family, and I have been lingering until now. I don't want you to see the joke."
Qin Dewei was very curious: "If you want to see me, just ask for me. Why should you hesitate?"
Mr. Zeng replied with a bitter voice: "I have saved a few taels of silver in the past few years, and I am borrowing some from my fellow villagers, but I don't know if it will be enough... I would like to ask Mr. Xu if he can redeem Madam Zhou's life."
Qin Dewei was speechless for a long time. Is the eight o'clock soap opera not over yet? Is the ten o'clock soap opera coming again?
Subconsciously, with a somewhat biased stance, he said: "Actually, the key to this matter does not lie with the master of the Xu family, but with my mother herself. It is useless for Mr. Zeng to find the master of the Xu family."
Everyone is a scholar and is very sensitive to the tone of words. Mr. Zeng immediately noticed a slight abnormality.
It turns out that little brother Qin's tone is always non-committal and without any tendency. But tonight's sentence has a somewhat unclear meaning of encouragement and guidance.
So Mr. Zeng was very happy. He climbed up the pole and asked, "Why do you teach me?"
What can I teach you? It seems that mother would rather be Master Xu's concubine than choose a poor scholar like you, Qin Dewei smiled bitterly.
After thinking for a long time, he suddenly said: "Next year is the year of the provincial examination. Can't Mr. Zeng work hard and get a good exam?"
There is a world of difference between the status of a successful candidate and a scholar. Anyone who has seen Fan Jin win the national examination knows that.
What does this imply? Or does Sister Zhou mean it? Mr. Zeng's expression gradually became serious, "Although I have wasted several years and failed twice in autumn, I will definitely try again next year!"
Qin Dewei almost blurted out, "Come on, I'm optimistic about you," but he held it back.
But if you really win the election, it will be a life-changing opportunity. What kind of good woman can't marry? Can you still like your own mother? Qin Dewei thought again.
Anyway, the conversation became more and more awkward, so Qin Dewei quickly said good night to Mr. Zeng and went back to his room.
It's just that there is an extra three-tiered food box in the room, and the food is so fragrant. "Where did this come from?" Qin Dewei asked Liu Yue.
Liu Yue also answered incomprehensively: "It was sent from the inner house. According to the slave, the specifications of the food are almost the same as those from Mr. An. In addition, several new clothes were sent here.
"
"I'll do it!" Qin Dewei's mentality is about to collapse. Can you, the Xu family, use your power to bully others and intimidate me? It's nothing to do with all the inducements!
If a person has integrity, he must wear no clothes! Whether to eat or not to eat is another question.
At dawn the next day, Qin Dewei continued to go to school with Xu Shi'an, and then sent Liu Yue to Nanshi Building Street to deliver the letter.
Liu Yue was very excited about this. She felt that this was a crucial step in her career planning.
She really didn't expect that when she got to Qin Dewei's side, everything would become clear. It seemed that she was closer to her dream than when she was at the Xu family.
Today, by taking advantage of the opportunity of sending letters, I can have close contact with a famous lady on the famous flower list for the first time, which will definitely benefit me a lot. If the other party is willing to talk and give pointers, that would be even better!
But reality gave Liu Yue a blow. Wang Lianqing didn't show up at all, let alone talk or give advice. Only a maid came out to collect the letter, and then she was sent away...
Liu Yue felt very depressed on her way back. She realized that the gap between her and the famous flower list might be bigger than the gap between Xu Laosan and Qin Xiaoge.
Of course, Miss Wang didn't care about the mood of the sender. She only paid attention to what the person who wrote the letter meant.
"Take friends on a spring outing, don't worry about the misty rain. Thinking of the former alliance, where is the beauty? See you outside the Sanshan Gate."
Beauty Wang was in a very happy mood at this time. Qin Dewei was really a trustworthy gentleman.
In the previous loan document of two hundred taels, although various items were written down and signed in black and white, it still seemed like a gentleman's agreement.
Wang Meiren is not sure that Qin Dewei will obey it honestly. There are many times when these scholars are dishonest and sophistry.
It wasn't until she saw Qin Dewei's letter today that she really felt relieved. It seemed that Qin Dewei was very contractual and took her seriously.
Since Qin Dewei is sensible, Wang Lianqing must also treat her seriously. As a partner in the scene, she must not lose Qin Dewei's face.
After all, this is the first time that both parties have fulfilled the contract, and they must make a good start without letting the mean guy named Qin pick on him.
Thinking of this, Wang Lianqing ordered her maid to take out this year's new spring clothes and prepare all kinds of newly made jewelry.
In addition, BMW and luxury cars are also indispensable, as they fully display the image of famous beauties. A woman’s appearance is a man’s face, and Wang Lianqing knows this well.
