Lingjiu still eats and drinks when she should, and does not seem to take Qi Lichuan's confession seriously.

But she is probably the only one who knows best whether she really doesn't care.

At least there was nothing on the surface, her attitude towards Qi Lichuan was still lukewarm, but others could see that she was not opposed to Qi Lichuan's proximity.

As for the other party involved, Qi Lichuan, it is still as usual. Except for the time spent studying, the rest of the time is basically spent with Lingjiu.

When Xueer first started, she was very worried, worried that Qi Lichuan was a scumbag who cheated on him, but as time went by, she gradually let go of her guard against him.

I was moved by his gentleness and considerate towards Yanjiu, and I even believed that he was sincere to Yanjiu.

However, Xueer was quite unhappy about the outside world's discussions. She had heard the villagers say bad things about Lingjiu several times.

Those words were so bad that she could not tell her master, so as not to be unhappy when she heard it, and she would only dare to complain to Hezheng in private.

And Qi Lichuan bought seven people in total, one was a book boy, one cook, two maids, one maid, one maid, one maid, one housekeeper and his wife.

Two of the maids, one is Xue'er and the other is Yun Zhao. Yun Zhao is Qi Shuhui's maid, and will follow her to her husband's house in the future.

The Shutong naturally followed Qi Lichuan. In addition to accompanying him to study, he was also responsible for taking care of his diet and daily life.

With the cook and the rough woman, Qi Shuhui no longer has to worry about these things in the future.

As for the butler, the Qi family has a simple population and not many servants at home, so there is no need to use any butler.

But Qi Lichuan considered that once he became a juren, there would definitely be many people coming to the door to "visit" and he didn't want to spend too much time dealing with these people.

Although his father is a scholar, he has been digging food in the fields for many years and has a taciturn personality. Apart from being literate, he is no different from the villagers in the village.

Therefore, this social engagement matter needs to be handled by a special person.

The housekeeper who Qi Lichuan bought was named Zhang and was named Zhang Chun.

Zhang Chun was originally a big housekeeper in a wealthy family. Later, because his family was defeated, his family could not afford to support his servants, so he sold all the servants including the housekeeper.

Qi Lichuan felt that this person had good abilities and was eloquent, so he spent a lot of money to buy the person back.

Zhang Chun did not disappoint him. During this period, he managed the family in an orderly manner and made Qi's father feel much more cheerful.

Originally, Qi Lichuan wanted to buy a maid and servant for Qi's father and mother respectively, but the two elders firmly disagreed because they were not used to being served.

What's more, my son has more places to spend money in the future, so he has to save some money.

As for Qi Lichuan buying maids for Lingjiu and Qi Shuhui, the two elders had no objection. Lingjiu was originally the daughter of the Bu family and had maids to serve him since childhood.

On the contrary, because they married into their Qi family, the Bu family was worried that they would think too much, so they did not let her maid come with the dowry.

Fortunately, my son is a capable person. Now that the family is no longer short of money, it is natural that he will not be able to aggrieved his daughter-in-law anymore.

The two elders were indeed quite dissatisfied with Lingjiu's daughter-in-law at first, but later they learned the cause and effect of the matter and understood that the fault was not Lingjiu.

In addition, since Lingjiu married into the Qi family, she has been peaceful and has never relied on her parents' home to be a monster. The two elders have less dissatisfaction with her, so she has accepted her.

As for the matter of assorting Qi Shuhui with a maid, the two elders had no objection. After all, in their opinion, their son is a talented person. If there is no accident, it will be a matter of time before he becomes an official.

Once the son becomes an official, the daughter becomes a lady from the official family. Naturally, she cannot match her daughter with a poor family.

Not to mention high-marriage or something, at least they must be the kind of person who is of equal status.

Fortunately, the butler and others don’t have much to do at the moment. If Qi’s father and mother have any needs, they can also send the butler and others to run errands.

I forgot to say that Qi Lichuan had passed the academy exam not long ago. He is now a scholar with fame and fortune.

In August, he will still take part in this year's autumn examination, which is the provincial examination. Once he passes the examination, he will become a juren.

Now that the family has money, Qi Lichuan will naturally not let Qi's father and mother go to the ground to farm, but in order not to waste the farmland, he hired people to help farm.

However, once this busy person suddenly becomes idle, he will easily think about it. In addition, the Qi family is rich now, so naturally there are poor relatives who will inevitably have autumn wind.

It would be fine if they just wanted to fight Qiu Feng, but some people were very energetic and wanted to marry the Qi family, so they had the idea of ​​Qi Lichuan and his sister.

Do you think Qi Lichuan has got married and has a wife?

For these ordinary people, even if they are concubines for rich people, they are very happy. After all, the existence of mistresses in this era is legal.

At first, these relatives were afraid of the existence of the Bu family and did not dare to think of Qi Lichuan. They were afraid of being retaliated against by the Bu family, so they had to put their ideas on Qi Shuhui.

It’s a pity that they are purely toads who want to eat swan meat. How could the Qi family agree to marry their daughter to these people?

If you can't marry Qi Shuhui, you can only put your ideas on Qi Lichuan. After all, although Qi Lichuan has a wife, he has no concubine.

And they heard that the daughter of the Bu family is ugly and fat, and cannot be loved by her husband and in-laws.

Once your beautiful daughter (or niece) marrys into the Qi family and is favored, will you still be afraid that the Qi family will not help these relatives in the future?

Thinking of this, someone began to test Qi's mother.

Fortunately, Qi's father said he respected his son's choice. If his son wanted to take a concubine, he would not object, because he was afraid that the Bu family would interfere.

Although Qi Lichuan is currently a person with fame and fortune, and most people dare not touch him easily, this does not mean that the Bu family dare not touch him.

With the Bu family's local forces, they really want to touch Qi Lichuan, and there are some ways to solve him, so they are not suitable to have a quarrel with the Bu family before Qi Lichuan passed the imperial examination.

On the contrary, after hearing these people's words, Qi's mother was obviously a little moved.

In Qi's mother's opinion, it was really a bit wronged for her son to marry an ugly woman like Lingjiu. Although her son could not divorce his wife, he could take a concubine. He could not be wronged for her son.

But I didn't think about whether the Bu family would agree to let Qi Lichuan take a concubine.

Perhaps in Qi's mother's opinion, this woman's jealousy is a matter of seven things. Even the in-laws have no reason to stop her son from taking a concubine, unless Lingjiu doesn't want a reputation.

The result of Qi's mother's heart-wrenching was to find an opportunity to test Qi Lichuan and explain this matter to him in a vague way.

After listening to Qi's mother's suggestion, Qi Lichuan's expression changed slightly and he quickly expressed his attitude.
