Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

The scenery of Shouguang Temple is beautiful, just like Liu Jin's painting, "the fragrance penetrates through the window cage and the juniper".

Especially the courtyard where Qi Qingxi and the others are now is built against the mountain, it is quiet and elegant, and listening to the looming chanting of the monks in the temple not far away, it makes people feel peaceful.

The yard is not big, but there are six large wing rooms.

Qi Qingxi was still with Guan Shi and Gao Shi, Mrs. Xie, three mothers and daughters also slept in a wing room, Yun Ming slept alone as a male family member, and there were servants brought by each family They rested in the other two wing rooms respectively.

Except for the place where Yunming rested alone, which was quite quiet, in the other rooms they said they were resting, but they were actually chatting.

"I think you're acting like you want to show your brother a visit?" Mrs. Guan put her son to sleep and handed it to the nanny. Then she had a short rest and chatted with Qi Qingxi and Mrs. Gao, "Mrs. Xie looks at Yun Ming That look is clearly looking at the future son-in-law."

Qi Qingxi nodded. Now that the two of them have seen the clues, and she knows that Guan and the others are not people who like to go out and gossip, she no longer hides it: "It's Mrs. Xie's youngest daughter, I am quite fond of that girl. Satisfied, but it still depends on Yun Ming and Miss Xie's own wishes, that's why we see each other today, lest the two will not see eye to eye and produce a pair of resentful couples."

"I see that girl from the Xie family has been peeking at Yunming, and she seems to like Yunming quite a bit, so what does Yunming think?" Guan asked curiously.

Qi Qingxi laughed and said: "My sister-in-law is more impatient than me. I haven't had time to ask Yun Ming's meaning. But if it really happens, I will definitely invite the two sister-in-laws to the mansion for a banquet."

Both Guan Shi and Gao Shi smiled and nodded at her.

Qi Qingxi glanced at Gao Shi, thinking of the things she hadn't had time to say before, she smiled and got up and sat beside Gao Shi.

"Sister-in-law of the Liu family, what I heard from you is that we have to wait until we have found a house before picking up the children. It just so happens that the house behind our embroidery shop is vacant. If my sister-in-law doesn't dislike her, she can live there with her family."

Gao's refusal was already on his lips but was interrupted by Qi Qingxi's words.

Qi Qingxi briefly introduced the basic situation of the house to Gao, and said: "I originally thought that brother Liu and sister-in-law might buy a house to live in, but I also wanted to find a house in the capital in a short time. It is not easy to find a house that is suitable in all aspects."

She observed Gao Shi's expression while speaking, and seeing that Gao Shi seemed to be shaken, she continued to persuade Gao Shi.

"Brother Liu has an errand in the Hanlin Academy now, and he has to walk with his colleagues occasionally. The courtyard you live in now shouldn't be very convenient to entertain guests, right? I know that Brother Liu has always been a decent person, so I definitely don't think there is anything wrong with it. place."

At this point, Qi Qingxi was afraid that Gao would misunderstand, and added: "Of course, we also think there is nothing wrong with it, but there are so many people in the officialdom, there must be a few snobs..."

Qi Qingxi didn't continue talking, but seeing Gao's expression, she understood what she had to say.

The Guan family next to him also said: "Yes, sister Gao, I don't talk about other people, let's just say that our family is the head of the family. Because of our status as a businessman, I have received so many eyes from those officials. Of course, I know that our family Those who are in charge don’t dare to compare with Zhuangyuan Lang, but the sufferings are similar. Those powerful people can be said to try their best to make people stumble.”

The Guan family complained bitterly to the Gao family. Although she didn't know what Qi Qingxi was trying to do by persuading Gao to live in the house behind the embroidery shop, she knew that Qi Qingxi's character would not harm Gao's.

So she also helped to persuade: "Anyway, it's a pity that the house behind the embroidery shop is empty, and I remember that the house should have six rooms, right?"

Guan looked at Qi Qingxi to confirm with her, seeing Qi Qingxi nodding at her, she continued: "It's suitable for your family to live in."

Mrs. Guan asked Mrs. Gao again, "Is your father-in-law and mother-in-law the only ones who come to the capital with their children?"

Mrs. Gao nodded and said, "My husband-in-law originally had an older sister and two brothers. The older sister is married to someone else, and the two brothers have already married and separated, so only the father-in-law, mother-in-law and children will come to the capital."

Upon hearing this, Guan's eyes widened and he looked at Gao's: "Separated?"

These days, there is a tradition of not separating the family while the parents are there, especially the children who dare not separate the family easily, otherwise they will be charged with unfilial piety.

And parents who have managed to bring their children up, expect their children to provide for them until the end of their lives, and they will not take the initiative to propose a division of family and property with their children.

Like the Shao family, they also took the initiative to separate the children before Shao Hua's father passed away. Otherwise, Shao Hua's father would go. As long as his stepmother is still there, Shao Hua may not leave Linzhou mansion so easily now. Come to the capital.

Qi Qingxi didn't understand the rules inside, but seeing Guan's surprised appearance, she also looked at Gao and waited for her explanation.

Before, she only paid attention to Liu Jin, his wife and their parents and children, but ignored the relatives in Liu Jin's family. If these relatives might affect Liu Jin, then she should pay more attention.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to be quite interested, Mrs. Gao didn't hide it. After all, it was just a trivial family shortcoming, so there was nothing wrong with it.

Liu Jin's family has been farming for generations. Although it is a farmer's family, not to mention how rich the family is, but with their own hands and the few acres of Susukida in the family, it can be regarded as not worrying about food and clothing. Even in the hands of Liu Jin's father. I have some spare money.

As the saying goes, people will envy what they lack more.

Father Liu himself did not know a single big character, but he was very envious of those who could read and write, so when the three sons in the family grew up to a certain age, they were sent to schools to study and practice calligraphy.

Unexpectedly, the first two sons had only studied for two years, but they couldn't continue to study and wanted to go home. Liu's father was so troubled that he had no choice but to agree.

On the contrary, the youngest son was willing to read, and Liu's father was also willing to let him study. Unexpectedly, the youngest son became a scholar after reading.

Both the Gao family and Liu Jin's family belonged to the same village. She remembered that Liu Jin was only 13 years old when he was a scholar. Liu's father was so happy that he even invited the whole village to dinner.

At that time, the brothers of the Liu family were harmonious, and Liu Jin's two elder brothers also felt honored because their younger brother was selected as a scholar, and they even talked about two very good marriages behind them.

However, after Liu Jin's two elder brothers got married, the two sisters-in-law suddenly revealed their true nature, and even urged their husband-in-law to make trouble in front of Liu's father and Liu mother. Stop wasting money at home and continue to study.
