Rebirth Jade Fate

Chapter 13 Learning

"Come on, keep your waist straight, raise your hands slightly, you don't need to hold the pen too hard, as long as..." The bookstore owner corrected Wei Qingtong's pen holding posture, "Yes, that's it, come on, write something. "

Wei Qingtong looked up at her sister.

Wei Qingyu hurriedly said: "Draw a horizontal line, one horizontal, two horizontal..." While speaking, he gestured to him with his hand.

Wei Qingtong drew it on paper according to what her sister said.

The bookstore owner's face was full of black lines. He looked at the clarity in Wei Qingtong's eyes, thought for a while, and persuaded him tactfully: "The imperial examination is very expensive. Some people stay in the position of Tongsheng all their lives. It makes my brother pure and innocent. , your family is in a difficult situation, why not choose another route."

Wei Qingyu blinked, and the boss seemed to have misunderstood, "Is it possible that only those who take the imperial examination can study? Do those who study have to take the imperial examination? Sir, I let my younger brother study for the sake of his reasoning, and for the sake of his ability. It's because he's interested."

The owner of the bookstore bowed his head and said nothing, thoughtful. Those who came to his bookstore to buy books were for reading, and those who read were for the imperial examination.

Everyone knows that reading is sensible, but he has never seen anyone who really only studies for understanding and not for fame and fortune. Those people are probably only found in aristocratic families who do not rely on their children's imperial examinations to become officials?When he read and read, he forgot the original intention of his ancestors to read.

Wei Qingyu didn't know why he was in a daze, but seeing that Brother Tong seemed to be holding a pen, he ignored him and went to the bookshelf to find books about raising animals.

The rabbit in the space is about to give birth to a baby bunny, and she can feed the chickens. She has raised rabbits before, but they are all one or two for play, but there are eight rabbits in the space, five of which are females. If they continue to reproduce like this, they will become a group, and they must pay attention to all aspects. Now they cook in the house, what if there is a bird flu?In ancient times, there was no vaccine.

Wei Qingyu chose two books, together with Wei Qingtong's pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the boss counted them, "It's a total of two taels, 670, and eight Wen. You can give me two taels, six hundred and seventy five."

"You might as well give me the change, and my younger brother will have to buy it from you in the future."

"This is already the cheapest price. If you don't come to buy from me, why don't you still go to Dongshi? It's close, but I don't have my price anymore."

The boss is telling the truth, Dongshi is indeed much more expensive than here.

"It's just five cents, sir, do you still care about that? The five cents should be regarded as the master's invitation to Brother Tong to eat sugar."

Wei Qingtong only heard the word "sugar man", looked up at the two drooling, and read: "Sugar eaters, eat horses."

The boss shook his head and smiled wryly, "Come on, let's go, let's just let it go."

Wei Qingyu's eyes crooked with a smile, "Thank you, sir."

"You, also change your temper of bargaining, otherwise who will dare to marry you when you grow up? It's like a daughter's family who cares about everything."

She was originally a woman.

The little guy looked at Wei Qingtong's back holding the sugar figurine with some envy, "Why don't I have such a good brother, even a fool can study..."

The boss slapped him on the head, "What are you muttering about? Hurry up and arrange all the newly arrived books."

The little guy pouted and ran to the back hall reluctantly, while the boss looked at the figures of the siblings and said in a low voice, "That's not stupid..."

Although the first snow fell heavily, it cleared up within two days, but Wei Qingzhen couldn't feel the warmth, the wind was cold and violent, and it blew on her face like a knife, and now she dared not take it with her Wei Qingtong went out. Fortunately, she had prepared enough firewood and had a warm space for spring. When ventilating the room every day, the siblings hid in the space to work.

The five mother rabbits in the space have already given birth. In addition to the baby rabbit that was crushed to death, there are now a total of 28 rabbits in the space.

Wei Qingyu built a fence around the corner and considered it their home, and next to it was the place where the pheasants stayed, from which she could harvest three or four eggs every day, and she planned to keep them for herself.

The vegetables in the space are growing well, and the quantity is enough. To make room for the new wooden house, Wei Qing pulled out a lot, but it is still more than enough to supply the two siblings and the animals in the space. The weeds she moved in earlier Then she was looking for a living space by herself everywhere, so she had to weed the vegetables every few days.

Wei Qingzhen stood on the table, holding a hammer and hammering the wooden stakes. She is small and weak, but she believes in grinding iron pestles into needles. She spends half an hour in the space every day hammering. It can exercise the body and arm strength, killing three birds with one stone.

With a flushed face, Wei Qingtong dragged a branch towards him, circling around his feet in vain (it was the only free rabbit), and when he was tired, he sat on the branch to rest. Wiping his hands and feet, he said excitedly, "Sister, we're getting closer again, five steps away."

"Well, Brother Tong is really good. In a few days, my sister will be able to use the branches."

When it was time for Wei Qingtong to sleep, Brother Tong yawned and his eyes were a little hazy.

Wei Qingyu carried him to bed, and covered him with a thin quilt, "Go to sleep for a while, sister goes out to burn the kang."

Seeing Wei Qingtong turn over and fall asleep, Wei Qingyu came out of the space, and the cold wind came in through the window, Wei Qingyu shuddered, even though she put on a cotton coat and trousers before coming out, she still felt terribly cold.

She quickly closed the doors and windows, took the charcoal burned in the space and put it into the kang belly... It will take some time for the house to heat up, so Wei Qingyu closed the door and patrolled the yard.

The food brought by the maid was still standing at the gate, Wei Qingzhen turned them down, and just about to turn around to go back, she heard light footsteps coming from outside, Wei Qingzhen stopped and listened, the footsteps stopped at the gate , Wei Qingzhen listened intently, and could hear the breathing of the other party.

After a long time, the people outside called out in a low voice: "Third Miss, Third Miss?"

Seeing that no one answered, Mrs. Min looked around, and then she raised her voice slightly in relief, "Third Miss, the servant has been paying attention to this side. I saw you took the food just now, so you must still be there. If you are here, you must be there." Respond, the boy from the servant's family was saved by the eldest lady."

Is this to repay a favor?

Wei Qingzhen responded in a low voice, "What's your mother's name?"

"Don't dare to be. In front of the master, how can a servant be worthy of a noble name? The third girl should be called the servant, Mrs. Min."

"Mum Min."

Mrs. Min looked around, guessing that Mrs. Zhao, who was going to get the charcoal fire, was about to come back, so she made a long story short, "Third girl, the Geng family in Taiyuan came to give you a New Year gift two days ago, and one of them is the girl next to Grandma Qin. you……"

"Thank you for reminding me, my brother and I will remember your kindness." Regardless of whether it is useful or not, the other party has good intentions.

"The eldest lady is a good person. God will definitely bless the third young lady and the fourth young master. The young lady and the young master should also pay attention to their health...Someone is coming soon, and there is only so much the servant can do."

Seeing Mrs. Zhao coming back from a distance, Mrs. Min hurriedly greeted them and walked towards their house.

Wei Qingzhen stood in the corner for a while, then turned back after vaguely hearing someone talking outside.

She really wants to talk to people from the Qin family, at least then she has enough financial foundation. Wei Qingtong is getting older and needs money for various things, but she dare not ask someone to contact her rashly, if the Wei family finds out up...

She could only wait until the Qin family came to find her. The relationship between the Qin family and the Wang family should be very good, and the Wei family has not aroused any suspicion these few times.

Wei Qingyu wondered if he should look for someone from the Qin family tomorrow.

It's just that she was destined to miss them, when she abducted from the Wei family to the Geng family's mansion in the capital, Qin's people had already left the city with the Geng family's team.

Wei Qingzhen gave the boy at the corner gate five copper coins, and then left.

Unknowingly, there were more beggars on the two roads in the capital, huddled together in twos and threes, letting the snow fall on their heads and shoulders, some people were even covered by the snow, and it could only be seen from the outside that they were individuals inside.

Wei Qingzhen touched the bracelet on his left wrist with his right hand, Tong Geer was inside, panicked, he quickly followed the adults in front, followed them not far or near, until he approached the south gate, Wei Qingzhen turned around , turned into Shili Street, walked quickly to the fourth shop and knocked on the door.

The owner of the bookstore saw Wei Qingzhen was slightly taken aback, Wei Qingzhen smiled embarrassedly, and lowered his voice: "Sir, someone is following me."

The boss was startled, and glanced over Wei Qingyu's shoulders, and saw three people who looked like beggars leaning against the corner looking this way, and quickly pulled her in, "It's winter, why did your family let you go out alone? ?”

During the Chinese New Year, the business of the bookstore was deserted, and there were a lot of disaster victims gathered at the gate of the city. Everyone was afraid of accidents, so they closed down early to prepare for the Chinese New Year.

Wei Qingyu helped to close the door, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "My uncle went out to build a house with others, and the medicine at home was used up, so grandpa asked me to come out and buy some. As soon as I went out, I felt something was wrong. I felt that someone was watching me, so I hurried this way, sir, why are there so many beggars outside suddenly? It’s almost Chinese New Year.”

The owner of the bookstore poured her a cup of hot tea to warm her hands. Hearing this, he sighed, "There have been five or six snowfalls ahead, and each one has been heavier than the last. I don't know how many houses have been damaged. The court said it would provide disaster relief, but there has been no movement for a long time." , there have been disaster victims entering the city since last month, and there have been more people in the past few days... People can do anything to survive, so you don’t want to run out these few days, you know?”

What Wei Qingzhen was worried about was another issue, "The court won't provide disaster relief? But the Chinese New Year is coming soon! For the sake of the court's dignity, these disaster victims..."

The boss's face was pale, and his voice was barely audible, "I heard that the imperial court is cleaning up the foot of Damian Mountain..."

This is to drive the victims to the foot of Damian Mountain outside the city.

Wei Qingyu thought of the child he saw on the road just now, the same size as Tong Geer, a small ball, trying to nest into his mother's arms... such weather, adults can't bear it, let alone a child.

Wei Qingyu closed his mouth slightly, and murmured: "Does the Holy Majesty not care?"

The boss sighed. Although he is a scholar, he can know only a little, and he doesn't know why the Holy One did this. Judging from his previous actions, he still loves the people very much.

The street is the busiest at noon, and the owner of the bookstore waited until there were many people outside before sending Wei Qingyu away, which was also safer.

Wei Qingzhen left from the back door of the bookstore, turned two streets and arrived at Wei's house. This is an official residence, there are few beggars, and it is much safer than before. Wei Qingzhen stood at the entrance of the cave, listening carefully to the movement around her, and made sure that no one came after her. Just got in.

Thinking that it was getting more and more dangerous now, Wei Qingyu stuffed the entrance of the cave with stones and blocked it up, and then she felt relieved, but she would lock the doors and windows tightly before going to sleep every night.
