Chapter 1496 Untitled
After coaxing Brother Fu to bed, Qingshu said to Fu Jingen: "I went to the Qi family to visit my aunt in the morning."
"How is my aunt's health? Is it okay?"
Last time he went to Qi's house to find Qi Xiangdi, when Mrs. Qi happened to be sick.
Qingshu smiled and said, "It's great. She is so open-minded that she doesn't care about everything. She just practices boxing operas, books and enjoys delicious food every day. When she is intrigued, she will sing a few words."
Speaking of this, Qingshu couldn't help but say, "I will be like my aunt when I get old, and enjoy life in my later years without caring about my younger generations."
Fu Jingen joked: "I'm afraid you're not at ease and the children will care about everything."
Qingshu shook his head and said, "No. I don't want to be as old as Mrs. Nie, who is still holding on to the power of the family, and is so tired that he is still criticized by his children and grandchildren."
It's great to be like an aunt. Not only is the son filial, but the daughter-in-law treats her like a mother. There is also an old saying that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and she can't care about them for the rest of their lives.
Speaking of this, Qingshu said with some annoyance: "I used to protect An An so well that this girl panicked when she encountered something."
So, you still have to let go when it’s time to let go.
"It's okay, Tan Jingye can support the situation, and it will be fine if she has too much trouble in the future."
Qingshu smiled bitterly and said, "I said, why don't you even look at any of the students in Baitan Academy? It turns out that you knew An An's shortcomings. Alas, my sister is not as good as you."
Fu Jingen shook her head and said, "The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are close. Besides, you have taught An An well, otherwise Tan Jingye would not like her so much."
"As for the shortcomings you mentioned, this is nothing. She is just a woman who can manage the affairs of the inner husband. There are some professional knowledge in the outside world!"
He had long seen that An An was influenced by Mrs. Gu and Gu Xian, but fortunately it was not serious. The Tan Jingye chose, firstly, although Tan Jingye lacked talent and knowledge, he was calm and able to withstand trouble; secondly, the Tan family was just a small family, and if Tan Jingye dared to treat An An, he and Qingshu could suppress it.
Qingshu said with some gratitude: "Thanks to you."
Fu Jingen hugged her in her arms and said softly: "If you say this to me, you will become accustomed to me. Your business is mine."
Leaning on his shoulder, Qingshu told him about selling the house: "I heard from Uncle Di at the Qi family today that I strongly opposed it when I told him that I wanted to sell the house."
“What to oppose?”
"Saying this house is a Feng Shui treasure land. Selling it will not only be bad for the children but also affect your fortune. I guess my uncle must have felt that I am young and have no thoughts."
Fu Jingen asked with a smile: "Uncle has objected that you still want to sell this house."
Qingshu shook his head and said, "I don't believe this. If I hadn't bought this house back then, it would still be a haunted house."
After pausing, Qingshu said, "So I always feel that it is not this house that has flourished us, but that we have brought this house that has flourished us."
Fu Jingen laughed: "So that's what you think? Don't blame yourself for being willing to sell this house."
Qingshu really thinks so. Fu Jingen, who had no help in her previous life, was also a senior official in his early twenties, but that was the result of his life. The road he took in this life was much smoother than in his previous life.
After finishing the laughter, Fu Jingen said, "Even if we want to sell the house, we should wait for the palace examination before selling it, so that we can sell it at a better price."
"You have such confidence in Mei Yihang?"
Fu Jingen explained: "Although I have only seen Mei Yihang, this person is not only good at learning but also good-minded. Many people's mentality has long been broken if they fail to finish the exam four times in a row, but he is very calm and did not deliberately please and cling to me when talking to me."
Qingshu exclaimed and said, "I thought he had a bad mentality, so he would sprinkle ink on the answer sheet in the fourth exam!"
Fu Jingen shook his head and said, "No, he just had bad luck. He once told Yan Kuan and the others that if he did not do anything better this time, he would become an official as a juren, without any resentment and hatred in his words. With such a mentality as long as there is no accident in the palace examination, he will definitely be in the top three."
Generally speaking, if you take the top three exams, it will not change much. Of course, if you are ugly or are disliked by the emperor, it is a different matter.
After talking about Mei Yihang, Qingshu talked about Tan Jingye again: "The exam is 106, and this ranking is very dangerous. If you have time, please give him some advice so that he can perform better in the palace examination."
Fu Jingen had known the ranking of the five people and said, "I will tell them what I need to pay attention to during the palace examination, and the rest will depend on them."
Since these people are all living in, they will naturally treat them equally, and they have made good relationships with them if they want to benefit from it.
Qingshu nodded, then smiled and said, "We made a lot of money by trying this time."
Because Mei Yihang paid the expensive accommodation fee, Mr. Yan and Qi Yixin also expressed that they did not give the money but gave the goods.
Fu Jingen joked: "Then don't sell this house and let's rent it out. There are still many people in this world who are not short of money."
Qingshu shook his head and said, "These three times are totally lucky. It is impossible for the candidates who move in every time they pass the exam. And it is impossible to meet a wealthy family like Hao Sanchao in the future, so renting it out may not be as cost-effective as selling it."
"I'm sure I'm going to sell?"
Qingshu smiled and said, "If I don't plan to sell what I'm doing to tell you so much, the only problem now is what to do with the wine in the wine cellar?"
There are more than 100 jars of wine in the wine cellar. Even if so much wine is transported out in batches, it will fall into the eyes of those who are interested.
Fu Jingen smiled and said, "What's the point of making a fortune? Anyway, we don't rely on it to make a fortune, just give half of it to others."
Qingshu didn't want to let people know about this: "It's better not to let people know about this, otherwise everyone would think that the fortune of our house is so prosperous and it is the result of these wines."
"What do you want?"
Qingshu said: "Half sent to the Duke's Mansion, and the other half will be moved to the house of Xijiao Hutong. I remember you said there was a wine cellar there, so that these wines would be placed in the wine cellar first."
Fu Jingen curled the corner of his mouth and said, "I want Miss Wu to know this. Can we still keep the remaining half?"
"No, as long as I don't give it to her, she won't force it."
Fu Jingen is not good at this, but she knows that Qingshu has always protected Wu Yian: "Then you start to get someone to clean the box tomorrow, and the wine will be placed in the box, and then transport it together."
The boxes were locked, and no one could know what was placed inside. When he looked for an opportunity, he would put the wine in the wine cellar.
When talking about Wu Yi'anqi, Fu Jingen told Qingshu something she was particularly concerned about: "The emperor summoned the supervisor of the Imperial Heaven Supervision today and asked him to calculate the auspicious day of the filial piety period, and the wedding date will be announced as soon as the filial piety period expires."
Qingshu asked: "When do you think the wedding date will be set?"
Fu Jingen said without hiding Qingshu, "I guess it should be in March and April next year."
