The skilled widow is busy farming

Chapter 97 The Son Is Back

Qing'er packed a cart full of gifts for Manager Qi, including all kinds of gifts. She also thanked him for introducing work to the weaving workshop in the past few months.

Considering everyone's actual situation, the jobs that Manager Qi found were small jobs that everyone could do, such as making handkerchiefs, purses, and fans. Such jobs didn't pay much, but they sold well. The girls were clever and clever. The clothes they made were beautiful and came in many varieties. Manager Qi collected a batch and sold them.

In the second half of the year, each of the aunts made some living money. Even the girls made clothes for half a year and saved several taels of silver for the family.

The girls have tasted the benefits of making money, the hardships of working, and the dignity of having money and ability. This teaching is more effective than telling it a hundred times. The girls have become more independent and strong, and they are all eager to learn. There is no child who wastes time and is lazy. .

This car gift was paid for by the weaving workshop. Xiu Niang had originally prepared it in advance. When the aunts found out, they went to Li Yan and told Li Yan about the situation. The weaving workshop paid for it, not much. rise.

It's the New Year, the brothers are back, but Li Rui and Li Heng are not back. They are getting married next year. The wedding date has been set. I have already said hello to Shangfeng. I will give them some time off when I get married, and tell my family in advance. The head also made it clear.

"Mom, I miss you so much."

The group of brothers helped Xiu Niang walk home. They saw their mother far away at the entrance of the village, and they were eager to return home.

"I have grown taller and changed. Are you obedient at your uncle's house?"

Xiu Niang purred her son's face, which she hadn't seen for almost a year. The child had grown taller, his face had grown longer, and he was becoming more and more handsome.

"I'm so good, but my uncle is so strict. When God tortured me, my cousin and I were almost burned to death."

The group of brothers pouted and acted coquettishly, carrying Brother Chun on their backs and playing around. The two brothers had not seen each other for a year, and they missed each other very much.

"Brother, did you bring me a gift? I got a first grade in the ethnic studies exam this year."

Brother Chun happily announced the good news.

"Yes, I can't miss anyone else's, so go home and watch."

The group brother carried his monkey-like younger brother on his back, with a happy smile on his face.

"Are your grandparents in good health? Is your uncle doing well in court?"

"It's going well. The emperor relies on him a lot. In addition, the Lin family's grandfather is old and many things are left to him. I'm coldly watching my eldest uncle's intention to pick up two houses. Lin Shibo may have to be released. I It’s not my uncle’s turn to take the lead, so there aren’t many important things.”

Brother Qun's speech is obviously different, his immaturity has faded, and he has carefully observed the situation and interpersonal relationships in the court. It can be seen from the conversation that he has grown.

"Where are your uncle and your second brother."

"Everything is fine. They have only been in the court for a few days. There is no important court affairs. They just follow the old rules. However, there are many people who want to marry my second brother. My eldest aunt asked me to come back to discuss with our family. I’ll go back and tell you in detail.”

"Okay, have you seen Uncle Erqing?"

"See, Uncle Erqing bought some property in the capital. He is still busy and hasn't come back. He won't come back this year. He is living at home. He helped us two brothers tidy up the yard. It was very beautiful. He also bought some things for us. The servants and stewards are all provided, and I feel embarrassed."

Brother Qun smiled shyly. In fact, he lived at Zhou Yi's place.Only Li Rui lives in that courtyard, and currently Li Qing also lives there.

"You have been matched with people. You must learn how to govern your subordinates. Otherwise, being deceived means that you are too weak and stupid."

"Well, my uncle told me to let me learn to do the common things. Now my cousin and I do the common things together. Don't worry. My uncle and aunt are very strict with me and never relax at all."

Brother Qun knows that his mother is worried that if he leaves her, he will learn bad things if he relaxes too much.

In fact, no. I am grateful for Xiuniang's care for her brothers and sisters-in-law. Her sister-in-law is very strict with her brothers and takes good care of them. She needs to be trained and cared for just like her own son, and she has never fallen behind.

Zhou Yi got Brother Qun a place in the Imperial College and asked him and his son to go to the Imperial College to study together. The teachers there were all great Confucians, and the students there were also descendants of aristocratic families. The environment would be more complicated, but the level of the masters was first-rate.

Zhou Yi has his own considerations. He can’t teach a boy too naively, and he has to go for a trip in the muddy water. It’s just the right time to keep his son company. The group brother has been well-educated and has been strict since he was a child. He and his son can also supervise and compete with each other. growing up.

"Your uncle and aunt have put a lot of thought into it for you. The quota in the Imperial College is very precious. It can only be obtained by using favors. They are all left to you. Son, you must cherish them."

Xiu Niang gently held her son's little face and warned him with a smile as bright as a flower.

"Mom, don't worry. I know what I should do and what I shouldn't do. I will work hard with my cousin. We will supervise each other and we can't all learn bad things. I'm not that kind of person. I know that when I go to the capital, you and the clan have sacrificed for us. I have gone through a lot of hardships, and I will definitely be named on the gold medal list and earn you a phoenix crown and a crown of flowers."

Brother Qun has grown up since his father passed away. Every day he watches his mother working hard at the loom, helping her to help the boys in the family learn more about the clan and gain more support and strength for them.

A weak widow gave all her efforts, and he understood the weight of this love.

"My son has grown up and has seen the world in the capital. Tell me, who does your second brother like?"

Xiuniang sat there, and Brother Qun poured tea for the elders and sat together to talk.

"At the Zhang family banquet, a disciple of the old Zhang family took a fancy to my second brother and asked around. It seems that his surname is Wang, from the cabinet. He is of a higher rank than my uncle, the third rank. He is from an old noble family, and the same is true of the Zhang family. We are all the same way. Mr. Wang, who we are close to, studied under Mr. Zhang’s family when he was young. Now the relationship between our two families is still very close, and he has taken a liking to my second brother.”

Brother Qun told the whole story and went to the capital. Zhou Yi and Zhou Yun were there. The two brothers also knew many children from the aristocratic families in the capital. They also had social contacts and made a few friends.

Thanks to the upright family tradition of the Li family, their children are well-educated, they are humble and courteous, upright and upright, and have good talents and academics. Many noble families like the upbringing of the children of the Li family.

Even the group brothers were asked about whether they were dating, but it was Zhou Yi who blocked it. The child was too young and he wanted to fight for fame first.

Li Rui is old enough. He won the No. [-] prize and has yet to talk about the marriage. After a year of slowing down, the enthusiasm has subsided a lot, and then he started to talk about the marriage.

There are a lot of things to pay attention to when talking about kissing. At this point, the first thing to consider is that the person you want to kiss must be a member of the same team. You can't go to the enemy's side, and you won't turn against each other in the future. These are Zhou Yi's checks.

The rest depends on the upbringing and character of Yue's family, whether the girl's character and character are compatible with her, and whether her life should be about being in harmony with each other. Mrs. Zhou will take care of these.

Li Hengyue's family is the Zhang family, and the guests at the Zhang family's banquet are all relatives and friends. That's why he fell in love with Li Rui. I have inquired about him before. Both his uncle and nephew are the number one scholar, attracting much attention and being followed by many people. .
