June in Jiangnan is the harvest season, and the fields are in full swing.

Fu Ran sat in the carriage and lifted the curtain to look out, and happened to see a five or six-year-old girl with two buns and a bun handing a scoop of water to a sturdy man to drink.

After drinking the water, the man touched her head and told her to continue to bow his head and harvest the rice. Time waits for no one, and the rice will be sown after harvesting.

Seeing this warm scene, Fu Ran said with some regret: "It's still a girl's caring." ”

After speaking, she said to Bai Fan, the maid on the side: "You say, do I want to raise a girl to raise." ”

It's not that she had this idea suddenly, she had this idea two years ago, but she never came across what she liked.

Bai Fan didn't agree and said, "Sir, raising a child is very laborious, can you afford it?" ”

"The little girl is soft and cute, and she is also intimate with her mother."

Bai Fan smiled when he heard this: "Sir, the young master is also very considerate of you, and he is very filial to you. ”

"Jingze is filial piety, just ......"

How so? Fu Jingene is very filial, but he has to study and socialize, and he doesn't have much time to spend with her. And because it is a man who speaks at a glance on weekdays, unlike his daughter, who can always follow her and be coquettish.

When she returned home, the housekeeper said to her, "Madam, there are letters from Beijing and Pingzhou. ”

Fu Ran took the two letters and looked at them, and then handed the letter back to the steward in Pingzhou: "You will give this letter to the young master later!" ”

Looking at the handwriting, she knew that this letter was sent by Fu Laogentuo. Over the years, Fu Laogen and Chen often wrote to Fu Jingze, and Fu Ran knew but did not interfere.

Bai Fan returned to the inner courtyard and told Xin'er about it.

After Xin'er got married, she returned to Fu Ran's side, and now she is the housekeeper of the inner courtyard.

After getting the news, Xin'er said to Fu Ran: "Sir, that family must have written to ask for money again." ”

Over the years, Fu Laogen has only one purpose in writing letters, and that is to ask for money. However, Fu Jingze is a clear-minded Fu Laogen and Chen's illness, he will bring some money back, and he doesn't care about other things such as repairing houses and buying fields.

Fu Ran shook his head and said, "Let Jingze handle it himself!" ”

"Sir, that family is also annoying. At the beginning, the patriarch also said that this family had a good heart, and there would be no trouble after succession, but the result was all coaxing. ”

Fu Ran smiled when he heard this: "Listen to this, you still take it seriously." ”

Xin'er asked in some surprise: "Could it be that Mr. Cheng didn't believe it in the first place?" ”

Fu Ran said: "If they really want to find a good future for their children, they will not ask for money. Asking for money is actually no different from selling your son. ”

Anyway, if it's her, unless she is too poor to live, she will pass her own children out.

Bai Fan was a little puzzled when he heard this: "Sir, since you know that the patriarch's words can't be true, why do you still adopt the young master?" ”

"Jing Ze is a good boy, and he also has talent in reading. If I don't adopt him, he will be ruined for the rest of his life. ”

In fact, there are still some things that have not been said, when Fu Jingze was adopted, he actually drove ducks to the shelves. Mrs. Fu was sick and worried about her growing old and having no one to take care of her, so she agreed to succeed in order to make her feel relieved. As for whether Fu Jingze is filial or not, she doesn't care if Fu Laogen and his wife are difficult to entangle.

But in retrospect, her mother's worries that day were indeed right. Her sister-in-law couldn't tolerate her at all, so how could she let her two nephews support her. And the two nephews have also been estranged from her over the years, and they are not as close as Fu Jingze.

Fu Ran cleaned his hands before opening Qingshu's letter, and laughed after reading it.

"Sir, what did Miss Lin say in the letter to make you so happy?"

Fu Ran folded the letter and put it back, and said with a smile: "Qingshu said that I would take Jingze to the capital. ”

"Sir, the young master is going to end next year, and it's good to go over this year and prepare early. Moreover, Young Master Fu was Xie Yuan last year and studied at Baitan Academy, and his knowledge was very good. If you want the young master to live with him, you can still get his guidance. ”

Fu Ran burst out laughing: "If this letter hadn't been opened just now, I suspect that you had read Qingshu's letter." ”

Xin'er also smiled: "This can only mean that I and Miss Lin want to go together." Sir, I think it's best to go this year. Who knows what will happen next year. ”

It will be tried in May, but Jiangnan will not warm up until March. But the time to go to the capital in March is too rushed, and if something happens, it will be delayed.

Fu Ran snorted and said, "When Jingze comes back, I'll ask his opinion." ”

After Fu Jingze was ten years old, Fu Ran would discuss his affairs with him before deciding. As long as Fu Jingze's objection is justified, Fu Ran will listen to his opinion.

When he came back from school in the afternoon, Fu Ran told him about it.

Fu Jingze hesitated a little and said, "Mother, Mr. said that the probability of being admitted to the test next year is not high, so it is better to leave the test in a few years." ”

Last year, 100 students were admitted to Pingzhou in the township examination, and Fu Jingze passed more than 80 in the examination. Unless you are lucky to participate in the exam, you will not be able to pass the test 100%.

Fu Ran asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"I'm not sure."

Fu Ran snorted and said, "I think it's okay if you don't pass the exam next year, but you can get familiar with that atmosphere." In addition, if you go to the capital, it will also be beneficial for you to communicate and contact with those excellent lifters in the capital. ”

Fu Jingze understood the meaning of his words, shook his head and said, "Mother, Fu Jieyuan will end next year, how can I delay his precious time." ”

The main thing is that he is not sure at all. And it takes a year to go back and forth to participate in the exam, so why waste this time if there is no hope!

Fu Ran understood that he didn't want to take the test: "If you don't want to go, forget it, but I will definitely go to the capital next year when Qingshu gets married." When the time comes, do you want to come with me? ”

Fu Jingze nodded with a smile and said, "Senior sister is married, I will definitely accompany my mother to the wedding." ”

"Okay, then you can go to Wenshu!"

Back in the study, Fu Jingze opened Fu Laogen's letter. In fact, he didn't like to receive letters from Fu Laogen, because every time he wrote a letter, he asked for money.

But this time, fortunately, it was not to ask for money, but to say that his eldest sister's wedding date was set, and it was set for October 12.

Because there are many children in the family, his mother is busy from morning to night, and Fu Jingze was brought by his eldest sister when he was a child. So this relationship is naturally deeper than that of other brothers and sisters.

In addition, the eldest sister saw that he had been subsidizing his family, so she persuaded him not to do this, saying that it would make Fu Ran unhappy. If Fu Ran is unhappy, how can he have a good life.

It can be said that Fu Jingze's eldest sister is the only one in the family who really cares about him, so it is impossible for her to marry Fu Jingze without knowing.
