"I remember" Second Master Wen interrupted Xiao You's words, "The girl next to the girl, there are two aunts for Jiang Huanzhang with open faces, and one of them is Qiu Mei" "Yes, that's her.
When the uncle took Mama Wan to carry the dowry and break off, Qiu Mei said that she was also a dowry, and she came back with Xia Xian and Dong Rou, so Chunyan stayed in Jiang's house. ” "Well, smart man."
Second Master Wen commented.
"What's smart" Xiao You looked disapproving, "You listen to me."
Knowing that it was done right, you said that she was smart and good.
I'll say from the beginning, Qiu Mei is also a hard worker, and if she doesn't work hard, she can't become a slave.
Her mother died early, her father married her stepmother and became a stepfather, she grew up with her aunt, her aunt also had a hard life, she was widowed within a few years of marriage, and kept a single son to live on needle money, and later added Qiu Mei. ” Xiao You can be regarded as thinking of where to speak, but fortunately, Second Master Wen understands it.
"Her aunt treats her really well, take her daughter, that is, she is a daughter, her aunt has a good needlework, she didn't learn it, look at this, this is called smart and stupid" Xiao You's face hated that iron could not become steel, and Second Master Wen nodded again and again.
"It's because she didn't learn, as soon as her aunt fell ill, she and her cousin had to go hungry, she and her cousin were stupid and she went to sell herself as a slave, her cousin went to carry the long life, her cousin studied at the age of five or six, the second master, you said, this scholar can carry the life is not looking for death, it is broken, fortunately, Qiu Mei was born well, and her life is not rotten to the house, she was seen by Mama Wan, bought it back, too many good people, bought her, and let her go home to serve her aunt and her cousin, and in the end, she did the funeral for her aunt, and took the silver to send her aunt back to her hometown for burial, He gave her cousin a good sum of silver, and his wife bought her at a great loss. ” "This is Mrs.
Mercy."
"My wife is such a good person, and so is the girl."
Xiao You sighed with emotion, "Qiu Mei grew up with her cousin, Qiu Mei said that her aunt planned to let her marry her cousin, and then this happened" A smart person like Second Master Wen is also a little dizzy, what's the matter "A girl asked Mama Wan to ask her, what are her plans in the future, and she came up with thoughts again, I told her, don't think about these useless things, how can men have good things" The expression on Second Master Wen's face was a little dumbfounded.
"She can't listen to it, second master, you said that what I said is right, she has been a concubine for others, not to mention that her cousin is a scholar, that is, she is a worker on the dock, if she is not very poor and can't marry someone, she won't marry someone who has been a concubine for others, but she can't say, she has silver in hand Anyway, I just think she's dizzy, and a man is a good thing, and you don't count."
Xiao You suddenly thought that he had to exclude the second master, and the second master Wen just didn't hear her words, you don't count.
"Here, let her tell you herself, second master, you can persuade her well."
Xiaoyou stood up, patted the small bamboo chair, signaled to Qiu Mei, and went to pick crabs, steamed crabs, and dismantle crab roe by himself.
Qiu Mei looked a little nervous, "Say hello to the second master." ” "Well, sit down and talk, don't stand."
Second Master Wen looked at Qiu Mei, smiled and motioned for her to sit, and poured her another cup of tea.
"Xiaoyou just told me, how is your cousin still studying?"
"Hmm" Hearing Second Master Wen ask about her cousin, Qiu Mei looked proud, "My cousin is smart, and they all say that he was born with a reading seed." ” "Well, I didn't have to show up in the exam" "Not yet."
Hearing Wen Erye ask this, Qiu Mei replied, and quickly explained, "I can't blame my cousin, my aunt fell ill two years ago, and he fell and injured himself, and then my aunt fell ill and died, he helped the coffin to return to his hometown, and he never went back to his hometown in Huzhou, and the Zhou family didn't have any clans, nor any reliable relatives, he buried his aunt, and he set up a house to find his husband, and he was sick once or twice, and he delayed his study, otherwise, he would have been tested for Xiucai." ” "Well, that's right."
Second Master Wen nodded in agreement, "A medium-sized family, a large family can also provide a scholar, since the Zhou family has no clan or clan, where did your cousin get the silver?"
"At the beginning, my identity was silver, and there was also the silver rewarded by my wife, and my wife entrusted someone to buy him a small village in Huzhou, and the girl entrusted Ning Lao to take care of him."
"Oh."
Second Master Wen sighed lightly, "Say, what do you want to ask?"
"I just want to ask the second master, like me, who has been a slave and a concubine for others, if my cousin marries me, if he becomes an official in the future, can he still be an official if he violates the laws of the imperial court?"
Second Master Wen's eyes widened when he was asked by Qiu Mei, and it took a long time for him to cough a few times, "That your cousin Lian Xiucai hasn't passed the exam yet." ” "I know, I know what you mean, you can be a Jinshi, those are all Wenqu stars in the sky, but what if my cousin is Wenqu Xing" Qiu Mei looked very clear and extremely serious.
Second Master Wen was stunned, this is also true, what if "Don't you worry that your cousin dislikes you" This Qiu Mei spoke more straightforwardly than Xiao You, and Second Master Wen also asked bluntly.
"My cousin will definitely not dislike my cousin for not being that kind of person," Qiu Mei rejected Second Master Wen's question, "I'm afraid that my cousin will be affected." ” "The law is just human affection," Second Master Wen looked at Qiu Mei seriously again, "Your cousin should really be like what you said, that is a strange man with superb knowledge and rare sight, this little thing can't even affect him, I haven't seen your cousin, but you are very unusual, if you really want to have this plan, you should go back to Huzhou, ask clearly in front of your cousin, and see clearly." ” "It's easy for the second master to say."
Qiu Mei glanced at Second Master Wen, "Huzhou is so far away from the capital, I am a woman's family, how can I go back and how much silver does it cost to go back, I know that this matter is not a matter in the hands of Mrs. and the girl, but how can I have the face to let Mrs. and the girl arrange this matter for me, and spend this money Can't because Mrs. and the girl are kind-hearted, I will be endless, this and that, I still want face." ” Second Master Wen felt that Qiu Mei's words were not the same as Xiao You's second master just now, which made him feel speechless and crying.
"That's exactly what you say.
Your cousin marries you, and then you will be admitted to the imperial examination, and you will not violate the laws of the imperial court.
Second Master Wen felt that he still asked and answered, and didn't say much.
These girls in Wisteria Villa all have big ideas "Then you say, if my cousin wins the show, marrying a good girl with a good family and a good dowry, it will be good for his future, or marry me" Qiu Mei didn't finish speaking, and her voice gradually fell so low that she could barely hear it, "I'm really crazy." ”:
