Chapter 225: The Law of Survival
"You must be exhausted, come and take a rest." Xiaoshan Niang came in with a basin of hot water, "Come and soak your feet, it will make you feel better."
After saying that, he started to help Li Qingyou take off his shoes and socks. Li Qingyou was so scared that she quickly retracted her feet and said, "I can do it myself."
As he spoke, he took off his shoes and socks, and as soon as his feet were put into the hot water, they were immediately wrapped in the warm water, which was needless to say very comfortable.
"It's not what I said, and you don't think I'm nagging you." Xiaoshan Niang couldn't help but said: "Tell me, what kind of school does a girl study to get the number one scholar? Sooner or later she has to get married.
That old money was not wasted..."
Xiaoshan Niang has been talking about this matter since the day she knew that her brother was going to school. She didn't have any bad intentions, it was just a different concept.
Therefore, Li Qingyou doesn't have any bad feelings, but she doesn't bother to explain. It really doesn't happen overnight to change the old concept of Xiaoshan Niang. Moreover, this era is like this, and Li Qingyou has not grown enough to fight against the entire era.
If you don't want to continue this topic, just change the topic.
"By the way, has anything happened these days?" Li Qingyou asked casually while soaking her feet.
In addition to making tofu every day, Xiaoshan Niang is also responsible for selling tofu. People here come here to sell tofu, mostly aunts and aunties. Now the Li family is equivalent to a teahouse, a typical place for information exchange.
Why does the east family have the upper hand and the west family has the shortcomings? Which family's man beat his wife, whose grandson was beaten again, etc.
When Xiaoshan Niang heard this, her attention was immediately diverted. She took Li Qingyou and started to talk about what happened to the daughter-in-law of this family, and the mother-in-law of that family wanted to sue her son.
"The second daughter of Widow Qin's family came back two days ago. She brought a lot of things in big and small packages. Widow Qin was so happy that she showed off when she saw people." Xiaoshan Niang curled her lips, "I don't see anything rare.
, we have those fabrics and stuff in our county, and I thought her daughter had found a rich family who could take her in and enjoy the blessings..."
Qin embroidery?
Li Qingyou raised her eyebrows, "Are you talking about Qin Xiu?"
Widow Qin has two daughters in total. Isn’t the second daughter Qin Xiu?
"Isn't it her?" Xiaoshan Niang's eyes flashed with the blazing light of gossip, "I happened to see this good guy when he came that day, with two little maids, he was so twisted that he could tie two cocks on his buttocks.
You can carry it to death..."
Li Qingyou laughed for a long time after hearing the little mountain girl's nondescript metaphor. It seemed that Qin Xiu had passed the test safely, but how on earth did she convince the two little maids not to betray her?
Li Qingyou was quite curious about this, but it was just a little bit curious.
After all, those two little maids were members of the Shen family, so it was not easy for them to be bribed by an outsider. Moreover, Shen San had come back in the past few days. Li Qingyou had seen him several times and found nothing unusual.
It seems that Qin Xiu really passed the test safely.
I thought she was a fool before, but now it seems that her methods are quite clever, but that's right, otherwise, she wouldn't have caused so many troubles.
Thinking about it, she was considered her "defeated general". After all, she had successfully snatched Zhang Tieniu away. Although she refused to hug him in the end, this trick alone was not enough.
Based on these two moments, it is probably only a matter of time before Qin Xiu sneaks into the Shen family's inner house. Is this probably the survival rule of ancient women?
Li Qingyou thought it was funny because of her random thoughts. She grabbed a book on the kang table next to her and flipped through it. This should be what Adi used to copy books recently. At first, Li Qingyou thought it was "Three Character Classic" or "Qionglin Preschool" or something like that, but she didn't know how to read carefully.
At first glance, it was written "Peach Blossom Tribulation".
"Peach Blossom Tribulation"?
Li Qingyou's eyes immediately widened. He opened the book and looked carefully. Where was the content related to study? This was clearly a story book.
Li Ma is basically a story about a poor scholar who falls in love with a wealthy lady, and the two end up having a private life together, but they are beaten up.
Li Qingyou frowned tightly. She did not have the mentality of a feudal parent, and she would not be like those modern parents who treat books other than study as savage beasts.
But the story book in front of me is not a good book at all. It is just the imagination of some idle scholars. This kind of thing is most misleading, and the stories in it are not logical at all. They are just idle moans and groans.
How could Adi read this kind of book?
And where did he get the money to buy the books?
Li Qingyou usually gives her brother some pocket money, but it's not much. She knows this well. It's okay to buy some snacks, but it's not easy to buy books. At least you have to save some time.
After all, papermaking technology was backward in this era, and books were very valuable, so it was very difficult for children from poor families to go to school.
Here Li Qingyou was thinking wildly, and over there Liu Xiaosan came in from the outside, "Girl, aren't you going to the ranch today?"
As usual, he got up early and came here, but Li Qingyou was not there. He asked Xiaoshan Niang and found out that she had sent his brother to school.
As a result, when Li Qingyou came back and rested for a while, it was almost noon, and Liu Xiaosan thought about coming over and asking.
Li Qingyou came back to her senses, thought about it for a moment, and decided to go there.
Although there is basically nothing major happening now, all the wood, stone and other materials have been purchased, and the workers have been hired long ago. What is left is some piecemeal things and supervising the work of the hired workers.
But after all, it is your own business, so it is better to pay more attention to everything.
In addition, after the ranch is built, various animals will be put into it, such as ponies, piglets, chickens, etc. A few days ago, she told Qian Fugui to help him pet the ponies.
I don’t know if there is any news about the colt and the foal, so I should go and have a look.
So in the afternoon, Li Qingyou took Liu Xiaosan to Qian's house. Unfortunately, Qian Fugui was not there, saying that he was going to his uncle's house. The person who received Li Qingyou was Qian Fugui's mother.
"Our uncle is rich and his health is not very good these days. Either I will send him to have a look, or his uncle's family will have a daughter, which is my niece." Qian Fugui's mother said and glanced at him.
Li Qingyou, "It's not easy for the two of them, and there's no man to support them at home..."
Li Qingyou was amused. Isn't Qian Fugui's uncle a man?
But this was a family matter, so it was hard for her as an outsider to interrupt, so she just nodded along after hearing the words.
"Then I'll come back some time later." Li Qingyou stood up and said goodbye, "Also, when will third brother Qian come back? Please ask my aunt to let him go to my place. What I told him last time was quite urgent."
The wealthy mother curled her lips. It was not a big deal for a girl to let a young man go to her house.
That's what I was thinking in my heart, but I still said haha, "Okay, I'll tell him when he comes back."
Talk nonsense.
