Through the conversation with Master Qi last night, Qingyi knew that the old man was very shrewd, and no matter what the eldest lady went to confront her, Master Qi would take it down for her, so that she would not have any worries.

Besides, Qi Lianchen touched the beans on the tray in front of him, and suddenly raised his eyes and grinned, "Lady, is it okay to use any method, just separate the beans?" ”

Qingyi shook her fingers, "No, Dad said, don't even think about those little cleverness like using a sieve, you can only pick them up one by one with your fingers." - Third son, this is to train your eyesight and feel. ”

The so-called eyesight training is to be able to distinguish the authenticity and pros and cons at a glance when appreciating jewelry in the future, of course, she also learned this trick from TV, but it should be useful, and the most important thing is that it is also so that Qi Lianchen can stay in the house with his heart, but I don't know if Qi Lianchen cooperates.

Qi Lianchen listened to Qingyi's explanation, and suddenly collapsed, "Dad actually made such a strange thing to torture people!" As he spoke, he pinched a red bean and put it in a bowl, "jingle bell", the sound was crisp, and then, he slowly pinched a mung bean and put it in another bowl, after that, he raised his head, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Lady, how to practice your eyesight like this?" ”

Qingyi twitched the corners of her mouth, she couldn't wait to knock him hard, but in order not to scare him away at the beginning, she had to squeeze out a soft smile, "The third prince is so slow, of course it won't be effective." According to my father's meaning, it is to let the third prince do it within a quarter of an hour, and accurately separate these beans, if the third son can't do it to this extent, then, don't want to go out of the house to the gambling house in this life! When did it in front of him, you can continue to go out and be merry. ”

"Huh? A quarter of an hour? Qi Lianchen lay on the table with a bitter face, "My husband understands, my father is doing this, just thinking about not letting me go out!" ”

Qingyi didn't defend himself, but just forced him to ask, "Then does the third son practice?" ”

"Don't practice! …… You can't do it so fast! ”

This result was expected, Qingyi slowly took out a silver ingot of white flowers from a small bag he was carrying, which was fifty taels, Qi Lianchen looked at it, and his eyes lit up, brighter than the ingot of silver.

Qingyi pretended to sigh regretfully, "I didn't expect that the third prince would admit defeat so quickly, originally, the concubine also felt that this quarter of an hour limit was really difficult for a strong man." ”

Qi Lianchen listened, and nodded in agreement.

Qingyi took the silk handkerchief, slowly wiped the silver ingot, which was already very shiny, and continued, "So, the concubine just thought, the father is unreasonable, but the concubine must think about the third son, if the third prince does well, he will think of his own way to encourage the third son, for example, if the third prince divides these red and mung beans within an hour, then the concubine will reward the third prince with fifty taels of silver, and give the third prince a gambling book for the future of the house, if the third prince will divide these red and green beans in half an hour, Then the concubine will reward the third prince with a hundred taels of silver, so as to turn the book, if the third prince finishes a quarter of an hour......"

This kind of math problem is really easy to calculate, Qi Lianchen said as if he wanted to invite a child, "Then the reward is two hundred taels!" ”

Qingyi smiled, knowing that this slippery big fish was about to be hooked, so he waved his finger, "No, but...... Four hundred taels! ”

"Four hundred taels?!"

Qi Lianchen screamed, and then patted his chest exaggeratedly, "Death, death!" Four hundred taels? ”

Qingyi said with certainty again, "That's right, it's four hundred taels." ”

"I'll practice!"

Qi Lianchen rolled up his sleeves, revealing his sturdy and healthy little arms, really staring at the red mung bean, and picking it up seriously.

Qingyi pursed her lips and smiled, and although Liu Er beside her didn't know what Mrs. meant, she could guess that Madame had a little intention of playing with the third young master, while Zhu'er stood aside and didn't speak, but her expression was very unhappy.

Seeing Qi Lianchen start to "work hard", and seeing Zhu'er's zombie-like expression, Qingyi thought, this obstacle must be cleared, so she coughed lightly twice and instructed, "Zhu'er, Gongzi must practice his eyesight, this is a subject left by the master, and it must not be wasted, and if this subject is to be completed well, you must sleep well at night, I look at Gongzi's pillow at night The pillow is shorter, as the saying goes, the high pillow is worry-free, you go and give Gongzi a new pillow, higher." ”

"Young lady, are you going now?" Zhu'er is full of doubts, it is not difficult to get a high pillow core again, but it is difficult to pay attention to the pillows in Qi Mansion, the pillows in each room, the patterns on the pillow surface are different, in order to show the difference, the pillow core is done, and it takes a lot of effort to embroider the pillow surface.

Qingyi said as a matter of course, "Naturally, now, didn't you see that Gongzi is starting to practice his eyesight now?" - By the way, I know that the embroidered noodle seat is a bit annoying, so let's go to the embroidery room and find a few girls to help you make it together, and you personally supervise it there, and then come back when it's done, so that it may be more efficient. Of course, if you haven't done it by the time, it's just a matter of forgetting it, and you can't not rest without rest, right? Liu'er, just go to the kitchen and take a look, get some desserts for supper or something, and eat them when the son is hungry. Go for it. ”

Zhu'er is not stupid, and she immediately understands that this third young lady has the heart to support herself, but on the contrary, this is for the sake of the third son, and the third young lady did not say that she should stay up late to get it, and she really can't find any thorns, even if she sues the eldest lady, she will ignore it. Who calls himself just a maid?

Zhu'er took the instructions and withdrew.

Qingyi watched Zhu'er go out, and then turned back to Qi Lianchen and said, "The third prince has to concentrate on picking beans, and the concubine will personally go to the kitchen to cook some porridge for him." ”

After speaking, Qi Lianchen didn't even look back, it seemed that he was really serious.

Qingyi smiled in her heart, took Liu'er's hand and left.

Along the way, Liu Er was there and wondered, "Madame really wants to cook herself?" In her impression, she hasn't seen her wife press to this place of fireworks, is it possible that she still has cooking skills?

Qingyi pouted, "Who has the time to cook for him?" It's just to bluff him, let's go back quietly now and secretly see if he is really practicing. ”

Liu Er suddenly said, "Ah, madam, are you cheating? ”

Qingyi denied it with a frank face, "Where did I cheat, but I just felt that it was cold outside, and I thought about going back to add a cloak and then go to the kitchen." ”

Qi Lianchen did not start to be lazy because all the people in the room were gone, on the contrary, when no one was around, he was no longer so slow to pick beans, but an unusually positive face, the hand that picked the beans, with a speed on several bowls, the hand over the beans, at first glance, it looks like a camera tape multi-fold fast forward, rare is that such a rapid speed, the beans are accurately distinguished, and after a while, a mountain of small beans is piled up in the tea bowl, and the hands, brains, and eyes are used together, can achieve such a peak, if Qingyi sees it with his own eyes, he will definitely be stunned on the spot.
