The little lady of the Xiucai family (rebirth)

After dinner the next day, the three of them went out together and went directly to the city.

Today's Lin Qingyu changed into a blue long gown. She is handsome and gentle, full of books, and looks much calmer.

However, on weekdays, she only seems to be naive in front of Lan Qing...

Granny Li didn't come out of the stall today, she was waiting for them at the gate of the city early.

Seeing Lin Qingyu, he smiled from ear to ear, looked Lin Qingyu up and down, "You look energetic today, like a little gentleman."

Lin Qingyu was a little shy and didn't say anything.

She said, and went to see Lan Qing again, "In my old lady's opinion, your husband will definitely be able to come back as a Tanhualang next year."

"Thank you." Lan Qing nodded slightly, with a slight smile in her eyes, and swept across Lin Qingyu's face, "Grandma Li, can we follow?"

"It's better not to go, Mrs. Wang also went today," Granny Li suddenly felt embarrassed, and stroked the corner of her clothes a little uncomfortably. Not to mention being ridiculed for no reason, even Lin Xiucai will be looked down upon by him."

"I'll take Lin Xiucai there, that is, point him to a place, and leave when he arrives."

As a junior, Lin Qingyu didn't like to criticize an old senior, even though she was already displeased with Mr. Wang, whom she had never met, because of these words.

Lan Qing frowned slightly, but soon relaxed again, she frowned and said with a light smile: "Then please, it happens that sister Xiu and I also have something to do."

"Then go get busy, your husband will leave it to me." Granny Li waved her hand, smiling and beckoning Lin Qingyu to follow her.

Lin Qingyu was still worried after walking two steps, and trotted to Lan Qing again, "Little lady, don't take it to heart, he must be unreasonable to think so, and needs to study more."

Lan Qing hummed softly, with a gentle expression, raised her hand to straighten her collar, "Go, if I finish my work early, I will pick you up."

Hearing the warmth in Lin Qingyu's heart, she followed Granny Li for a while, only to realize that the little lady didn't know where Zhao's residence was.

Lin Qingyu was so depressed that it was probably impossible for the little lady to pick her up.

Zhao Yuanwai's mansion is in the west of the city, through several deep alleys, the more you walk in, the more open it becomes, and there is also an indescribable tranquility and tranquility.

She took a second look, and Granny Li explained: "Mr. Zhao's grandparents were from a scholarly family. Mr. Zhao repeatedly failed the exams, so he went to do business. Now he hopes that his children and grandchildren can study hard."

Soon after arriving at Zhao Yuanwai's house, Granny Li stopped, "Lin Xiucai, go over and tell the servants, they will take you in, and I won't pass."

Granny Li had already explained the reason, and after Lin Qingyu thanked her, she went outside Zhao's residence alone.

The servant at the door learned of her identity and purpose, and led her into the mansion.

Today, apart from Lin Qingyu, there are two other gentlemen who live nearby and are from this city, and they arrived at the Zhao residence before Lin Qingyu.

Already drinking tea in the living room of Zhao Mansion.

Member Zhao pushed out the entertainment and accompanied him personally.

An old man with wrinkled face and gray hair sat upright with a solemn expression and looked very stern.

The other gentleman was younger, but he seemed to be in his early thirties. There was a deep crease between his brows, which seemed to be the trace of frequent frowning, accumulated over time. His expression was equally serious and serious.

Zhao Yuanwai sat at the head and drank tea with the two of them.

Seeing the family servant bringing Lin Qingyu in, he stood up to greet Lin Qingyu again, "This little brother is Lin Xiucai, right? I've admired his name for a long time, and seeing him today really deserves his reputation."

Member Zhao looked at Lin Qingyu with admiration in his eyes, "The little brother is handsome and majestic, he is really a dragon and a phoenix among people."

"You're being polite," Lin Qingyu bowed her hands in return. She saw that the other gentlemen had arrived, "My home is a little far from your residence, so I hope you don't blame me for being late."

"It doesn't matter," Zhao Yuanwai smiled, and led Lin Qingyu to sit down. "There are many vacant rooms in my house. If you don't mind my little brother, you can live in the house. It will save you from traveling and teach my son."

Lin Qingyu didn't respond immediately. There is a young lady at home. If she has free time, she still wants to go home...

Seeing that she didn't answer, Zhao Yuanwai changed the subject at will and introduced two other people to Lin Qingyu.

The older one was Mrs. Wang, and the younger one was surnamed Liu. Both of them were older than Lin Qingyu. Lin Qingyu stood up and saluted one by one.

After saying hello, Zhao Yuanwai stopped talking, and went straight to the topic: "Do you have any arrangements for the three gentlemen about the teaching time? My arrangement is to start teaching at Mao, take an hour break at noon, and finish the day's schoolwork at You..."

"This morning, I'm here to teach," Old Master Wang said first, "I'm getting old, so I can't get up early."

Member Zhao nodded in understanding, and asked Lin Qingyu and Mr. Liu with a smile, "What about you two?"

"I can do it." Lin Qingyu said humbly.She has no objections, she needs to get up early to read in the morning, she does not snooze, and she has nothing to do at night, of course, it would be better if it is in the afternoon.Now the days are long and the nights are short, so it's not too late to go home at Youshi.

Mr. Liu pondered for a moment, looked at Lin Qingyu and said, "If Xiucai Lin has no objections, then I'll come over in the morning. I have some things to deal with during the day."

"it is good."

Lin Qingyu was secretly happy, and had already planned to announce the happy news to Lan Qing in her heart.

If the little lady knows that she can go home every day, she must be happy in her heart.

After the discussion was settled, the three drank tea for a while, Zhao Yuanwai urged him again and again, and his wife finally brought the youngest son over.

The young man was about eight or nine years old, he was very handsome, he was neatly dressed, he had a small face, a pair of round eyes were shining brightly, and he was not stage frightened, so he stared straight at the three of them when he came in. .

Lin Qingyu smiled at him with a gentle smile.

The corners of his mouth raised, and he quickly pressed it down again. He turned his eyes away like a little adult, and went to look at Mrs. Wang again. Mrs. Wang was scrutinized unscrupulously by the child's eyes. He suddenly felt offended, his face darkened instantly, and he accused coldly: "Shuzi is rude!"

Member Zhao hurriedly apologized, and beckoned his youngest son over, "Yuan'er, come and serve tea to Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang will be your wife from now on."

Mrs. Wang snorted coldly, said nothing more with a stinky face.

Zhao Yuan was unwilling, "Father, I don't want him to be my wife," he pointed at Lin Qingyu, "I want him to be my husband..."

As soon as the words came out, Mrs. Wang's face was frighteningly embarrassing. He slapped the teacup on the table heavily in his hand, sneered again and again, and asked Mr. Zhao, "If you don't want to, why invite the old man here? Children of the Zhao family, don't you mean to humiliate the old man on purpose?"

"Forget it if you don't want to, it's a waste of time." Mr. Liu frowned, his eyes impatient. "The exam will be in two months. If it wasn't for the persuasive persuasion of my wife, I wouldn't come here."

Without waiting to stay, he got up and left.

Mrs. Zhao hurriedly covered her son's mouth, and said in a low voice, "Yuan'er, don't talk nonsense."

That middle-aged man was fine, he was a poor scholar who failed to pass the exam several times, and the old gentleman, although he was a bit more rigid, was a well-known gentleman in the city. Many scholars raised people.

Member Zhao was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't help laughing, "The dog is ignorant, don't take it to heart, teach him in the future, beat and scold him at will, I will never stop..."

Lin Qingyu didn't expect this to happen, she was stunned, and asked Zhao Yuan, "Young master, you think that the old man is strict and not easy to get close to? Strict teachers produce excellent students. If the husband is not serious, and he is free and unrestrained, how can he teach good students?" ?”

Zhao Yuan's mouth was covered, and he couldn't speak, he shook his head vigorously, his eyes were anxious and a little bit wronged, and tears fell down as soon as he saw it.

Old man, Zhao Yuanwai regarded Zhao Yuan as a treasure, and his heart softened instantly when he saw him cry, and he quickly asked his wife to let go of the child.

As soon as Mrs. Zhao let go of her hand, Zhao Yuan ran to Lin Qingyu to follow, grabbed her clothes, snotted and burst into tears, and cried: "I don't want him, I want him to be my wife, otherwise I won't study... "

He was unwilling to go to a private school before, so Yuanwai Zhao invited him to teach in the government.

The son did not teach his father's fault, Zhao Yuanwai bent over and humbly apologized to Mrs. Wang, heard the words and straightened up, "It's not impossible, then you have to promise father that you must study hard with Lin Xiucai..."

For the sake of what he said, Mrs. Wang couldn't understand what he meant, his face turned red and then turned pale, and he walked away.
