Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 91 Earn It Back

Tingzhou is the birthplace of the Qiu family, and there are still some extreme branches there. Of course, they are all so poor that they want to sell their sons and daughters.It is said that some crazy people even sell their wives.A few months ago, Tingzhou had just experienced a serious flood, and all the farmland was washed away. Now it still relies on the government for relief, and the food relief money is not enough. However, this winter is extremely cold, and I don’t know that I will be hungry again. How many people froze to death?

Qiu Yiran thought of going to Tingzhou to buy someone, firstly because it was cheap and easy to control, and secondly because Tingzhou has produced beauties since ancient times.In addition to getting a wife for Lu Da, he also wanted to buy a few more beautiful girls this time to keep as gifts in the future.The Qiu family has had very few additions in recent years, most of them having children at home. Having children at home naturally has the benefits of having children at home, but sometimes it is not very easy to use.

Qingyuan Hou nodded approvingly. Qiu Yiran always thought of such things in front of him and considered them more carefully.It's a pity that he is unable to revive the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion. If it continues like this, it will be just a mess with no title in the Marquis Mansion in his hands in the future.

If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have made such a fuss about demoting my wife as a concubine. Marquis Qingyuan let out a long sigh.After the farce with Li, not only did they watch a large sum of money that had gone into the Hou Mansion fly away, and both their fame and fortune were lost, they also broke up with Tie Muyuan. They knew that Prince Jing was protecting the Yin Zhiruo siblings, but they Can't climb.Now, in order to plot against Yin Zhiruo, Qiu Yiran got an embroiderer involved, and almost made a big joke. Not to mention paying a sum of money, if it was not handled well, he might even offend the Duke of Jingguo.

What is this thing called?Why did you listen to Ji's idea in the first place and believe in Ji's and Ye Fang'er's so-called "foolproof" words?The more Qingyuan Hou thought about it, the angrier he became. He glared angrily at the Ji family and snorted loudly: "You have to hurry up about the New Year's gift. Many people have started to give it away, especially in the capital, which has always been more expensive than in places like us. Much earlier." Of course he knew that the 3000 taels given to Lu Da had been misappropriated to buy new year gifts, but in the final analysis, wasn't the current embarrassment of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion all caused by her?It is also appropriate to use all the dowry to supplement it.

Ji's shock and fear due to Lu Da's backstage tracing back to the crown prince had not subsided yet. She was suddenly glared at and scolded by the Marquis of Qingyuan. It took her a moment to realize what she was doing. Naturally, she was very aggrieved. She was about to have an attack, but unexpectedly Qingyuan Hou, who had a deep understanding of her temperament, said coldly: "If you and your cousin Ye Fang'er hadn't come up with blind ideas, Yi'er's road would be much easier now. Not only would she have money to support her, but she might even be able to climb the ladder. Prince Jing. Look at it now. If nothing else, it’s hard to settle down a good marriage." He really didn’t expect that there were so many generals in the army who dared to stand up, and even Prince Jing was not shy about it. They expressed their concerns to the Yin Zhiruo siblings. It seems that the popularity between Yin Zhao and Princess Qianxin is not false.

Ji choked and was speechless.In any case, if she hadn't believed in Ye Fang'er so much, the relationship between Yi Ran and Yin Zhiruo wouldn't be like this, and their Qiu family wouldn't be in such a difficult situation now. Speaking of which, she was really ashamed of her son.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world. Now I still have to find a way to provide for Yi'er first, but her dowry may not be a fraction of Yin Zhiruo's.Suddenly, she thought of a way to save money: "Yes, I thought I heard in Meizhuang the day before yesterday that Na Ruqiu and other embroiderers were rushing to make the New Year's gifts to be sent to the capital. Didn't our Zhuangzi also send them as gifts? Bring some leather, there is some in the warehouse, let Ruqiuye work day and night to make some. Isn’t her needlework very good? By the way, it would also be good to embroider some screens, tables and other things. Even if she can’t make it in time for New Year’s gifts, she can leave some It’s good for cutting. There are a lot of scraps left over from the last time I made furniture, and they are all good wood.”

Also, with such good embroidery skills, you can bring two good female maids together to take over the embroidery work of Ruyi Embroidery House, right?Ji secretly decided that no matter how she dealt with Ruqiu in the future, she would first earn back the 5000 taels of silver she spent because of her. Anyway, Liu knew very well that their Qingyuan Hou Mansion was short of silver, so she would not make a fuss.

Qiu Yiran agreed very much: "Well, Ruqiu has been in the capital, so he should know something about the fashionable things in the capital." The personal maid of the daughter of a wealthy family is very familiar with fashionable things, especially those related to women. Fabrics, accessories styles, patterns, etc.

"In this case," Marquis Qingyuan had no objection, "let her live in Haitang Courtyard, bring two little maids to do needlework, and find a rough servant to help her. She is not allowed to leave if there is nothing special. That courtyard." Haitang Courtyard is the most remote small courtyard in the inner courtyard. It has only five or six rooms and is quite far away from other courtyards.It just so happened that Ruqiu lived there doing embroidery work and raising children, so as not to be embarrassed if a guest in the house saw her.

"Hmm," Mrs. Ji couldn't agree more. "You don't see Yi'er very often for such a fox. Anyway, she can't serve you now that she's pregnant. You don't have to complain, right?"

In front of her parents, Qiu Yiran was still embarrassed to talk about Ruqiu's pregnancy. She nodded casually and picked up the contract on the table that Ji brought back from Meizhuang to read.Ji was sulking just now, so she took the contract and came out to read it. Her father and son came over, so she didn't have time to put it away.

The more he looked at it, the more Qiu Yiran felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.After a while, he could only sigh with emotion: "Yin Mingze is only 13 years old, which is really impressive." From the strict wording of this contract, we can see that his temperament is calm, cautious and sophisticated, but he does not look like a thirteen or fourteen year old at all. young man.

Ji's lips curled up: "So what if he's not great? No matter how talented he is, he can only stay in Zhuangzi all his life, and he can't take the scientific examination and become an official." It's impossible not to feel sad, his two sons are very Smart, but unfortunately, the Qiu family does not seem to have a tradition of reading, and he gets sleepy as soon as he picks up a book.Qiu Yiran was okay and barely passed the scholar examination, but Qiu Xiran has not even passed the examination as a boy at the age of sixteen and does not even want to go to school.

Marquis Qingyuan didn't like reading either, and he disliked those sour readers, but he didn't have any feelings for them at all.Earlier generations of the Qiu family were not able to enter the court as officials, but now they must not be favored by the emperor. Otherwise, there are many channels for the noble children to enter the court and become officials. How can they need to take the scientific examination?
Qingyuan Hou and his son were about to leave when an angry Qiu Yanran suddenly rushed in and threw the bead curtain on the door with a crackling sound.

Qingyuan Hou's face immediately dropped: "What's it like? It's really becoming more and more unruly!"
