Qingshu didn't want to talk to Qingluan about the house anymore, so he changed the topic at the moment: "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, do you want to return to the school to continue teaching after the Mid-Autumn Festival?" ”
Qingluan said with a bitter face: "Jingye must let me continue to teach, and said that I will take a vacation next year after teaching this semester." ”
Qingshu smiled and said, "Actually, it's good to teach, and it's boring to stay at home all day." ”
In fact, she said this more than once, but unfortunately Qingluan couldn't listen to it.
Qingluan shook his head and said: "I'm not idle at home, I make clothes for the child, shoes and socks, take care of his three meals, and I'm too busy every day, and I don't have time to make clothes when I go to the school to teach." ”
After speaking, she said with a distressed face: "Jingye means that after the confinement is over, let me return to the school to continue teaching, anyway, we can take care of the children by living next to us." ”
"You promised?"
"Promised."
She was forced to agree, but it was not good to speak ill of the business in front of Qingshu.
Qing Shu smiled and changed the topic: "Have you figured out what name the child will choose?" ”
"No, sister, why don't you give the child a name?"
Qingshu shook his head and said: "This is your first child named himself, anyway, you are only four months old now, you can think slowly if you are not in a hurry." ”
Qingluan looked disappointed.
After chatting for a while, Qingluan got up and said, "Sister, I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you in two days." ”
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Out of the house, Qingluan saw Honggu standing at the door: "You send me out!" ”
Honggu didn't know why, but she still agreed.
Walking out of the main courtyard, Qingluan lowered his voice and said: "Yesterday, a person surnamed Qiao came to me and said that he was willing to pay 120,000 taels of silver to buy this house, but no matter how I persuaded the eldest sister, she would not change her mind. Honggu, the eldest sister trusts you the most, you can help me persuade her! ”
I don't know how many things I can buy with the extra 20,000 taels of silver!
After speaking, she also added: "Who is not selling this house?" The one with the highest natural price wins. ”
Honggu nodded in agreement: "The second girl wants to say yes, I will persuade my wife later." ”
After sending Qingluan away, Honggu went back to the house and told Honggu about it: "Madam, I think what the second girl said is also right. Anyway, the contract was not signed, and if the Hu family couldn't afford to pay this price, we would sell it to that Qiao official. ”
Qingshu smiled and said, "Honggu, a verbal agreement is also an agreement. As for being a human being, you can't be untrustworthy. Okay, let's not talk about it again. ”
Who would have thought that the official surnamed Qiao was particularly attached to this house, and after knowing that Qingshu was unwilling to sell it, he raised the price to 130,000 taels of silver.
Qingluan persuaded: "Sister, I look at him like that, we will quote the house for 150,000 taels, and he will buy it." ”
Qing Shu felt that something was not quite right when he heard this, and asked: "Hu Daguan spent a huge amount of money to buy this house to ask for a son, so what is this Qiao Daguan asking for?" Ask for a son. ”
Unfilial piety is great, and many people can not even want their lives for the sake of their heirs. Therefore, Hu Daguan is willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver to buy this house, and Qingshu also thinks it is normal, after all, no matter how much money there is, it is not as important as children. But this Qiao official was so obsessed with this house, which made Qingshu suspicious.
Qingluan came to be a lobbyist, but he still asked some things: "No." He has two sons, and the officials Qiao wanted them to be admitted to the imperial examination, and when they heard that this house was conducive to the imperial examination, they wanted to buy it. ”
"I see!"
Qingluan couldn't wait to ask, "Sister, let's sell it to the Qiao family!" They have half the extra money, and we can't do anything with this money. ”
Qingshu shook his head and said, "I said, no matter how much money they pay, I won't change my mind." ”
Principles cannot be broken. Because if it is broken once, there will be a second and third time, and this is how many people make themselves unrecognizable step by step.
Seeing that he couldn't make sense, Qingluan stood up very disappointed and said, "Sister, then I'll go back." ”
At this time, Basho came over and said, "Madam, there's a letter from Taifeng County." ”
The letter was accompanied by two boxes of small clothes, gold bracelets, gold anklets, and other accessories. Among the accessories sent this time, there is a Yingluo collar that is particularly conspicuous.
Qingluan looked at the gem in the middle of Yingluo's collar and couldn't help but say, "Sister, last time I saw a ruby smaller than this one in Zhenpinzhai for more than 1,200 taels of silver!" ”
Qing Shu hummed and said, "Now that the coast is full of thieves, the sea ships can't sail, so the prices of these gems have risen. ”
Not only the prices of various gemstones, but also many spices have increased.
Qingluan frowned and said, "Sister, when do you think the chaos along the coast will stop?" ”
"It should be soon."
Qingluan lowered his voice and said: "Sister, many people say that Fujian is very evil, and whoever goes will plant it." Now they are secretly speculating about when the new chief soldier will have an accident this time! ”
Qingshu had heard about this earlier, and some people even made a bet out of boredom: "Don't listen to this kind of gossip, what kind of evil sect, it's just a coincidence." ”
"Sister, what you told me, once or twice is a coincidence, but it can't be a coincidence every time! There are three general soldiers who have been replaced, and there is no one to send if something happens again. ”
Without waiting for Qingshu to speak, Qingluan said again: "Sister, I heard that some officials are writing to ask the emperor to ban the sea, is this true?" ”
"When?"
"Just a few days ago."
Qingshu shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this. However, those short-sighted officials wrote to the emperor to ban him, and the emperor would not agree. ”
"Why? The people of those barbarian countries are vulgar and barbaric, so it is better not to associate with them! ”
Qingshu looked at her and said, "That's because you are prejudiced against them." In fact, these people were very smart, and not only developed flintlock pistols, but also made many new things. ”
"That's just some weird tricks, what kind of ingenuity."
Qingshu is very disappointed in Qingluan, and as a teacher, he should try to absorb new knowledge and teach students. It's a pity that Qingluan doesn't.
Qing Shu didn't want to argue with her about this, because the argument couldn't come to a conclusion: "Whether the forbidden sea has its own emperor to discuss and decide with the ministers, and it's useless for us to talk here." ”
Qingluan nodded.
After she went back, Qingshu called Jiang Fangfei. She told the rich businessman surnamed Qiao about it, and then instructed: "Go and find out the details of this person." ”
Jiang Fangfei asked, "Madam, do you think there is something wrong with this person?" ”
Qingshu shook his head and said, "It's not that there is a problem, but I think it's a little strange." Qingluan said that this person has two sons, and he wants them to be famous, so he wants to buy our house. But she didn't say how old the two children were, or whether they had achieved fame. ”
This is the difference between Qingluan and Feng Xiaoyu. Qingluan felt that this surnamed Qiao was willing to pay a high price to buy a house, and it would be good to have both money and goods at that time, so he didn't ask in detail about the situation of Qiao's family. And Feng Xiaoyu probed the details of the Hu family clearly before talking to Qingshu about it.
Jiang Fangfei nodded and said, "Madam, I'll go now." ”
"Well, don't let the other person notice."
