In the study room, Liu Zhongxiu sat at the head and asked, "Yaowen, do you have writing?"
Qi Yaowen was stunned, and said softly: "When my son-in-law was studying when he was young, the master gave him the word: Hengzhi."
Liu Zhongxiu thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "The strong disciple Heng Jiayong, who refused to reach the long river, wanted to practice heroism. He must win and lose many times. 'Heng Zhi' has a good meaning!"
"Father-in-law Miao praises it!"
"Your master is teaching you, but he is from Suzhou. Have you ever seen him as a father?"
Guo Yaowen explained with a smile: "He is from Anhui. After failing the exam, he traveled to Suzhou. His father saw that he was very knowledgeable, so he invited him to teach in the mansion and the children of the family. However, seven years ago, the old man in his family passed away. Went away and never came back.¡±
"That's itit's a pity. If there is a chance, my father would really like to meet him and have a chat."
"If the son-in-law has the opportunity to meet his wife in the future, he will definitely introduce him to his father-in-law."
"Very good!"
Brother Yi opened his mouth coldly, and said lightly: "Brother Wei has a question in his heart, why didn't my brother-in-law continue to take the road of scientific research?" He has extraordinary knowledge and good self-cultivation, how could he choose to be a merchant.
Qi Yaowen blushed, and said embarrassingly: "In fact, he prefers doing business more than studying."
Brother Yi sighed slightly: "Is that so"
However, Liu Zhongxiu said: "The so-called people have their own ambitions. Most people live their lives in ignorance, but it is not easy to find what they are good at. Hengzhi must not be humble. My father thinks you are good."
"Thank you father-in-law for your praise." As soon as the words fell, he looked rather embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "My father had great expectations of me back then, who would have thought that I would not live up to his old manbut fortunately, my younger brother left After passing the imperial examination, he is now a scholar, and the elders in his family have high expectations of him."
Hearing this, Liu Zhongxiu had a flash of surprise in his eyes: "Oh? Your younger brother is already a scholar."
Qi Yaowen smiled and said: "It was also at the beginning of autumn last year that he was admitted as a scholar." Turning his head to look at Brother Yi, he complimented: "My younger brother is much worse than my elder brother, and my elder brother has already won the exam at that time."
"Chongshan was very ashamed. I was awarded Juren. My father was afraid that he would be proud and complacent, so he ordered me to stay at home and study behind closed doors. He allowed me to come out when my mentality gradually recovered. Unfortunately, there was a visitor at home at that time. , so I know very little about what's going on outside."
After Qi Yaowen heard this, he realized that Brother Yi might have misunderstood the meaning, and anxiously explained: "Brother, sister-in-law doesn't mean that, what sister-in-law means is that my youngest brother is not as intelligent and hardworking as elder brother, and besides, there are many people who have won the title of scholar in Suzhou city." , Saying it in front of you would be ashamed."
So it is!
Brother Yi smiled lightly and said: "Don't be so self-effacing. No matter what fame you get, it is the result of his hard work and study day and night. Others must not underestimate him because of this. You must know that there are many people who are not as good as him." , It's so easy to be the number one scholar. What do you do for agriculture and business? All of them can become officials.
"Listening to what elder brother said really made my sister-in-law feel ashamed."
"There is a specialization in art, and I still understand some principles in books, but when it comes to business classics, Chongshan is far behind you."
Brother Ren who was sitting beside him looked at his second brother-in-law with glowing eyes, wishing he could pull his sleeves and ask him for tips on how to do business. clues, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Brother Xing listened to the two of them flattering and flattering each other, he listened sleepily and couldn't stop breathing, and then noticed that his father glanced at him with cold eyes, couldn't help shivering, sat up straight in fear, and listened attentively to what they said .
Brother Xuan was still young, so he couldn't understand the conversation between the two of them, so he kept his head down and recited the Analects of Confucius taught by his master.
After half a cup of tea, Liu Zhongxiu coughed and said with a light smile, "You two are very happy to meet each other."
Brother Yi smiled lightly and said, "Daddy, my brother-in-law's words are really humorous, Chongshan wished he could make friends with him sooner."
Qi Yaowen hurriedly said: "Thank you, big brother, for looking up to my sister-in-law. I'm just tempered in the business field!" Businessmen naturally talk about people when they see people, and talk about people when they see ghosts. The ultimate goal is to collect money in their pockets .
"Heng Zhi's words are very reasonable. Whether you are an official or a businessman, you can't gain anything, realize something, and gain something without tempering. Now you are still young. When you are my age, you will be more able to understand the world. Vicissitudes, the world is full of vicissitudes."
Seeing this, the sons hurriedly said, "Daddy"
Liu Zhongxiu smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, it's just a feeling!"
"The father-in-law's words, my father also said to his son-in-law, bluntlynbsp; The third sister said again: "You and the second sister have a dirty relationship with each other, why did you take the initiative to help her today?"
"We are going back to Beijing in a few days, and it will be even more difficult to meet again in the future, why bother to act arrogantly." After a pause, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Third sister thinks the same way"
"Yeah, it's been a while since we met again." The third sister turned her head and pinched her little nose, and said softly, "Can you go to my yard and sit for a while?"
Just as Liu Xiangwan was about to refuse, she was moved by the pleading look in her eyes, and couldn't help saying: "Since the third sister has an invitation, my younger sister will naturally accept the invitation."
The third sister took her arm and went to her yard. She saw Nanny Sun in her room directing Bao Xia and the others to pack their bags. Seeing that the sixth girl was blessed, Liu Xiangwan turned and avoided.
Grandma Sun said gently: "This old slave didn't know Miss Six was coming, so he asked them to make tea."
"I'm sorry, Madam Sun."
The third sister smiled and said, "Mammy, go and do it yourself. I'll talk to the sixth sister for a while."
Grandma Sun blesses her body and exits lightly.
"Sixth sister, I've been very tired recently, and I could still hear my bold words that day, but now my fighting spirit has been drained by the beating by Nanny Sun."
"Everything in the world should be done with sincerity and perseverance. It's easy to say, how many people can persevere, but the eldest sister specially found Sun Nanny for you, and the third sister should learn the rules carefully. Suffering is the fruit of happiness in the future, so the third sister should not be easily discouraged."
The third sister said in a low voice: "How can I not understand this truth, but I just can't cheer up."
Liu Xiangwan laughed lowly: "Do you need me to go to my mother to mention it, I think my mother can make the third sister stand up for battle with a few words."
"You're laughing at me again." The third sister sighed and said, "After the second sister got married, among the remaining younger sisters, you are the only one I can talk to. The others are all using me to get close to my mother."
Unexpectedly, Sixth Sister became emotional because of her, and gradually alienated her a little bit.
At this time, Baoyue brought tea in and poured tea for the two masters. Liu Xiangwan picked up the teacup and sniffed it lightly on the tip of her nose. After a while, she said to Baoyue, "Thank you for helping me and Nanny Sun."
Baoyue slightly suppressed the expression on her face, and said softly: "Your maidservant knows."
Seeing this, the third sister smiled and asked, "Why do you want to thank Grandma Sun?"
Liu Xiangwan shook the teacup in her hand, and said with a smile: "Sir, what kind of tea is this?"
The third sister picked it up, sniffed it lightly, and said in a low voice, "Tianmu Qingding."
Liu Xiangwan smiled lightly and said: "Nurse Sun is indeed a person who came out of the palace. Even I know that I like Tianmu Qingding tea. This kind of vision and insight are beyond the reach of others." She likes Tianmu Qingding, its taste is mellow It's refreshing and has a long-lasting fragrance, but only Aunt Huang and her close servants know what she likes, and she didn't expect to be spotted by Grandma Sun.
This person is really not simple!
The third sister was surprised and said: "It turns out that my younger sister likes to drink Tianmu Qingding, but I never knew"
"This is not a strange thing, now that my sister knows how much she plans to give me?"
The third sister patted her chest and said with a smile: "What is this?" As she spoke, she opened her mouth to call someone in.
Liu Xiangwan hurriedly stopped her: "Am I joking with my sister?" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
