Professor Li’s Married Life Chapter 72:

Babies with insufficient subscription ratio need to wait two more days, I'm really sorry. Li Cheng has a normal appetite in the morning and doesn't eat heavy oil, so the Li family has always been light.

Breakfast is prepared by Bai's family. The porridge made from white rice, steamed buns, baked egg pancakes, and a few dishes of homemade pickled side dishes are quite refreshing.

Gu Qingci followed Li Chengze to greet several people, and then sat down together. An Sheng ate a meal, and the two returned to the west courtyard.

After entering the side door, Gu Qingci couldn't help but speak, and said: "Li... no, Mr., if not, I'll let our two cooks go to the east room to help, so that mother... won't be tired Of course, Gu Qingci doesn't really care about Bai Shi, but there is no servant in the yard over there, and Bai Shi has to prepare three meals a day. Wait, let the mother-in-law do things. I'm afraid that even if others don't say it, I'm afraid that it won't be two days, and the family will be uneasy.

Li Cheng was stunned by Gu Qingci's "Sanggong" for a while, and after listening to her words, he came back to his senses.

Frowning, said: "That's not right, your people are not always good and always call over there. It was my negligence. Although our family is not rich, it is necessary to have two servants. Looking back, I Ask Yuan Bao to come over to my toothmaid, and buy two."

He is not stupid, and he will not fail to understand why Gu Qingci said such a thing.

Simply solve this trouble for her.

It would be better not to use your own people in the past, Gu Qingci was happy, and a smile appeared on his face.

Pretty and cute.

In the morning, Li Cheng didn't intend to go out, so he took Gu Qingci to his study.

He felt that he couldn't let this person just stay idle like this forever, with nothing to do every day, and troubles would be more likely to arise if he was thinking all over the place.

What's more, Gu Qingci is young and doesn't study, listening to maids gossiping all day long may change her temperament.

Li Cheng took her in and asked casually: "What books do you often read at home, but did you invite a female teacher to come to class?"

As soon as Gu Qingci came in, he looked around the study first, and sat a little reservedly. When he heard what he asked, he straightened his head, with a little pride in his eyes, and said: "The family has always been proud since childhood. Our sisters invited their wives to attend the class. Although they are not as good as boys taking the imperial examinations, they have also read a few of the Four Books, and my daughter has learned all the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I am stupid, and I can barely learn the piano. Seeing people will not pollute people's ears."

While pretending to be modest, Gu Qingci couldn't help but tilt her head to peek at Li Chengze's reaction.

Li Cheng fulfilled her wish, pretending to listen attentively and boasting a few words from time to time.

As a result, Gu Qingci's face became more and more joyful.

You can see through it at a glance.

"The weather is fine today, so it's okay to play the next song." She said to herself, and then ordered Yuzhu to bring her qin.

Yuzhu's movement is also fast, within a quarter of an hour, she puts on the piano stand and puts on the long piano.

Gu Qingci sat upright, fiddled with her bare hands, and in an instant, a melodious music flowed out.

The tune is cheerful.

Li Cheng squinted his eyes and listened to a song, and couldn't help but think that this is almost the same as those modern teenagers who cultivated a talent in the Children's Palace.

Only at this time, these things are learned by children from rich and well-known families.

After being stubborn for half a day, suddenly, the errand girl outside called Qiu Ju called back, saying that brother Yuan Bao had come and wanted to return to the master.

Hearing this, Gu Qingci had no choice but to lead Yuzhu back to the main room.

In the warm room, Madam Zhang put down her work and told Gu Qingci to sit down.

Seeing that the two got along well, she smiled from ear to ear, the master sat down, she poured tea on it again, and said in her mouth: "I watched with cold eyes these days, my uncle is really good, treat grandma well, I often coax. I broke my head that day and my face was so dark. The next day, I still covered up for grandma. It can be seen that she is cold-faced and warm-hearted. Not to mention helping her in-laws bully our grandma, and blindly defending her. I am happy. It is said that our Fangliu girl married poorly, and the rest of her life will be ruined, but who can really know if it is a blessing or a curse if she does not go to that step. Now I look at the girl, this may not be a blessing! Not to mention a greater blessing It's still in the future, just look at how the uncle treats our girl."

Uncommonly, Gu Qingci did not refute, and lowered his head to play with his handkerchief.

Yu Chuan listened and echoed, "Nurse is right. Our uncle is fine. He is already born as a scholar, and he is still not very old. It is not known that he will be an official and prime minister in the future. I think the fifth girl The eyelids are really short."

Yuzhu glanced at Yuchuan hurriedly, then stretched out her hand and pretended to pull her ear, and scolded: "Well, what are you talking about her, you are so clumsy, only our grandma is kind enough to keep you in the house Serving here, someone else might have dispatched it sooner."

Gu Qingci was not happy when Gu Qingwan was mentioned, snorted a few times, and mocked: "She is so happy that I am gone in the house now, no one can earn her more, she will definitely let me go." Her aunt is blowing pillow wind on her father, so she wants to tell herself a good family."

Mother Zhang thought to herself, no matter how high-minded her fifth girl is, she doesn't even think about it. False job, no power, no power.

To put it bluntly, wait until the old lady kicks her legs and closes her eyes, the second room will definitely be separated, just such a concubine daughter of the second room, even if she is favored, but wants to marry into the Gaomen Houfu As the main wife, the status is still bad.

It's a mystery what fortune the fifth girl will have in the future. On the contrary, it's much better with my girl than I thought at the beginning.

Sure enough, when a woman marries, she can't just focus on her family background, the man's character is also of the utmost importance.

Gu Qingci still doesn't know that the fifth girl she is talking about is having a banquet in the yard.

If Li Cheng was in the Gu residence, he would be able to recognize that the person Aunt Zhou was entertaining was Su Ziyan.

But it turns out that Su Ziyan is Aunt Zhou's nephew and fifth girl Gu Qingwan's cousin.

This relationship is actually not complicated in detail, that is, Aunt Zhou and Su Ziyan's mothers are sisters.

It's just that Su's mother is a descendant, and Aunt Zhou is a concubine. After the two grew up, Su's mother married the fellow Jinshi back then, and the other became a concubine of the Hou's mansion.

Su Ziyan came here today to deliver some news for them.

By the way, Gu Qingci was mentioned again.

The reason why Gu Qingci fell into the water was indeed planned step by step by Aunt Zhou and the others.

It's just that this plan is a little bit off. Originally, Aunt Zhou's plan was to ask Su Ziyan to rescue Gu Qingci when she fell into the water, then destroy her boudoir reputation, and then he would marry Gu Qingci.

Aunt Zhou is still regretful now, and she can't help complaining: "How did you let a poor scholar who didn't know where to come first, if you were smart, you would be the one who married Miss Six now, even though that girl is vulgar and barbaric It's unbearable, but look at how much dowry the second lady has prepared for her. It's a total of sixty-four dowry, which is so heavy that it's no worse than when the eldest girl got married. If there's nothing wrong, those things are all yours. It's over."

Su Ziyan smiled, and said that his nephew was stupid, and that the sixth girl must be lucky because the Su family couldn't afford it.

This is sarcasm.

Aunt Zhou was amused, and then said: "Forget it, Miss Six's temperament, don't harm you, now it's just right to ask her to be poor and settle down."

Su Ziyan's expression changed for a moment when he heard the word scourge, a flash of light flashed across his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

Sitting next to Gu Qingwan, she couldn't help but cover her veil and laugh in a low voice when she heard her aunt's words.

So what if he was born in the first place, in the end he was trampled under his feet and couldn't stand up, and he might be poor for the rest of his life.

*

Of course it is impossible to be poor. After all, Professor Li will not starve his wife.

Yuan Bao ran out all day and finally brought back good news.

He found a group of people who often run business in the two places, and when he asked, they all went to remote places such as Western Regions and Persia.

"They happen to be free tomorrow, so I took it upon myself to arrange an appointment in the restaurant for the master. The master can come and meet tomorrow."

Li Cheng nodded and praised him: "Smart." Then he said, "You don't have to worry about this matter anymore. After lunch, go to the private tooth house and look for two people to come back. Be honest and be honest." Yes, I can cook, and I can do laundry and sweeping the floor." The price of this kind of lowest-level servant will not be very expensive, and one tael of silver can top the sky.

Li Cheng gave more ingots, and the rest was to reward him for his hard work.

As for the addition of two servants, I have to go and talk to Sun and the others. Fortunately, Li Cheng is in charge of most of the Li family's affairs, and what he said and his opinions, Mr. My wife also listens to him, and rarely refute him.

No one would believe that there is nothing tricky about it.

Master Wu is not stupid, he is a prodigal, and Mrs. Wu is still in charge of the inner house.

The women in the Wu family's backyard who have been abused have no name or status, and they can't even be regarded as serious concubines. In the countryside, those who are used by the master but have not given birth to children have the same status as maids and servants, and the wife can dismiss or sell them with a word.

When Mrs. Bai interacted with such a person, she would tell them about many things in the family one by one, complaining from time to time.

Mrs. Wu felt that Mrs. Bai was useless and even a new daughter-in-law couldn't deal with it, so she didn't say anything, but slowly gave people advice, telling people how she managed the house, and how to get rid of this black-hearted method. Tell people as much as possible.

"You're just too good-natured. Anyone with a high status and high family status is all about saving face. Outsiders don't care about you. I've only heard that women marry chickens and dogs follow dogs. When you enter your house, you will be you." Family, what are you afraid of? Beating and scolding is not an exaggeration, what kind of bride doesn't serve her in-laws respectfully and obediently?" Mrs. Wu said so.

The more he listened to the words, the more and more Bai felt that it made sense. He couldn't sleep for several nights, and tossed and turned in bed thinking about it.

She has always had a prejudice against Gu Qingci, and this prejudice is deepening day by day. Bai always wants to hold people in check, so that she dare not say a word to him, and can only live under her own hands, and look at herself. Act on face.

Both Li Baode and Li Chengze went to the countryside, Bai felt that the opportunity had come.

With people sent by Mrs. Wu as helpers, it doesn't take a little effort.

Bai's mother told them before that the poorer the place, the more brutal and domineering the people.

They want to discipline and teach the daughter-in-law at home is very simple, there are some methods, for example, whoever they think is disobedient, or tie them up and make them kneel, or beat their hands, or spank, do heavy work and so on.

There are also naughty families, and there are some husbands who are tired of their wives and sell their wives. These are not uncommon things.

Mother Bai's original intention of telling these things to her daughters is to let them know what is good or bad in their hearts. When they marry in the future, they must not only be diligent and capable, but also be able to win over men's likes.

And Bai learned something else from those words, knowing that sometimes it is useless to say a lot of words, as long as someone has money in his hand, he can make people feel safe.

She covets Gu Qingci's dowry for some reason, so she has been thinking about it since she was not married yet.
