Pastoral affairs

Cui Shifu was just a little angry at the beginning, but after a long time, seeing that his son who asked for money was more powerful than himself who gave money, he was full of arrogance, and he was also domineering. With such an appearance, if Cui Jingzhong is really selected as a scholar in the future, when he is old and needs to rely on him, wouldn't his chin be raised to the sky?Thinking of this, Cui Shifu was also chilled, and he refused to allow Cui Jingzhong to study in the county. Relying on himself, he naturally refused to be the first to give in. As soon as he put on a posture like this, Cui Shifu must not be reconciled in his heart, and he simply became ruthless and ignored him. Yang was exhausted from being so noisy every day, and even Cui Jingping I can't take care of it anymore, except for the noise next door, Cui Wei really passed the month quietly.

In the middle of the month, Nie Qiuran came back, and when he came back, he brought Cui Wei nearly 20 taels of silver. In fact, 13 taels were the money from selling Cui Wei’s pastries, and the rest were copied books for others and paid on weekdays. In her spare time, she earns money by writing letters and selling calligraphy and paintings for others. Cui Wei thinks that the money he has given her these days is more than half of what she sold to Lin's dim sum by herself. , are all about 150 taels, and Cui Wei is somewhat uneasy. It is her business to buy a shop. It is fine to use Nie Qiuran's relationship to help find a shop. Now dim sum, toffee, etc. are all sold by him. It was really too much trouble for him, and besides the candy sellers, he gave himself a lot of money now.Even if these toffees were calculated according to the price given by the Lin family, out of the hundred or so taels earned so far, probably only thirty or so taels belonged to him, and the rest were all his.

"Brother Nie, you gave me all the money, what are you going to do with it yourself?" Although Cui Wei was happy at the thought of opening a shop and moving there in the future, she didn't want to talk about how much money she owed Nie Qiuran. Well, the debt of favor is not easy to repay, it is much worse than the debt of money.How will I pay it back then?Cui Wei's face was a little uneasy, but Nie Qiuran came out with a hair rope and tied it up for her a few times with clumsy movements. Maybe the gestures were a little unfamiliar. Cui Wei's hair was now down to her waist, and he was pulling it. Several were broken.There was a burst of pain, and suddenly became angry. How could I remember that I wanted to ask him about the money just now, and I immediately wanted to grab my hair back: "Don't make trouble, I will make a doll for you next time!"

The Nie family also has two girls, but he just doesn't like to play.Every time he came to torture her, once he touched his head.Sure enough, at some point, another small silk flower was placed on it. The hair rope on the braid was wrapped with rabbit fur, and it felt fluffy when touched. Cui Wei was so depressed that she touched her head, trying to untie the braid. , and was afraid that Nie Qiuran would want to do something else for her once she untied it.As soon as he touched it with his hand, he gave up and stared at him several times.Nie Qiuran's eyes lingered on her head from time to time, and it looked like she was ready to move. Cui Wei stayed away from him vigilantly. Then Nie Qiuran sighed imperceptibly, his expression changed, and he became gentle and handsome again. , while saying: "How much money does Wei'er have now?"

Most of the money in Cui Wei's hand was given by Nie Qiuran. He probably didn't know about the remaining fifty taels, but most of it was actually given by him. Then Yinzi came to his mind, if he had other ideas, he wouldn't have to give Yinzi back to her every month, so he thought about it and said cautiously: "It's about 150 taels."

After hearing this, Nie Qiuran nodded without any surprise on his face. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "I'll go back and ask my father to borrow 30 taels of silver. I can make up 200 taels, if it’s not enough, I’ll find a way, this time I’m going back to Lin’an, why don’t you just come with me!” What he said meant that he went directly to the city to buy a house, Cui Wei was taken aback, and said hastily "Really? But why would Master Nie lend it to me?" Last time Nie Qiuran said he wanted to marry her, but Master Nie was still reluctant. How could he lend her money this time?But Cui Wei didn't expect that such a serious person like Master Nie would have so much money in his hands.

"Who said I lent it to you?" Nie Qiuran glanced at her, took a cup and poured a cup of goat milk and handed it to Cui Wei. This goat milk is squeezed and boiled every day, just for fear The weather is big, and the goat's milk will change its taste. Although Cui Jingping doesn't like to drink goat's milk, Nie Qiuran and Cui Wei like it very much. Cui Wei cooks some on weekdays, and she insisted on drinking goat's milk. After half a year, Cui Wei has also seen the effect now. She has grown a lot in height, and her body is stronger than before, unlike before when she was tired and sweating profusely while carrying some things on her back.The excess goat milk is used to bathe and wash the face, etc., and the skin becomes white and tender.

Nie Qiuran saw that the little girl had a healthy face, her face was flushed, her lips were bright red, matched with her green satin-like hair, two buns were combed on top, and the rest of her hair was braided. The two fluffy hair ties on the top are hanging on the chest, I don't know how cute it is, but Cui Wei refuses to let him rebraid, it seems that the hair is a little messy.Nie Qiuran lowered her head regretfully, seeing what she said just now, Cui Wei looked like she couldn't wait to speak, and then said slowly: "I won't lend it to you, I will borrow it from my father."

When Cui Wei heard this, she was stunned for a moment, with a confused look on her face, and subconsciously took two sips of the goat milk, before Nie Qiuran continued: "I just said that I want to make friends with my classmates, and I always want to be friends with my classmates." Spend some money, my father will agree!" Cui Wei didn't expect that Nie Qiuran would also seriously say that he would ask Mrs. Nie for a loan, and he was stunned for a while, then thought of Cui Shifu and his son who were still arguing next door, and suddenly Some hesitated: "Will Mrs. Nie agree? Or we can talk about it later, anyway, we can wait at most half a year." She didn't want to owe Mrs. Nie favors, even if he didn't know about it.

"I happened to ask about a small house this time. It happened to be located at the intersection of the southeast. It is a fellow acquaintance of the fifth rank. Now that his term of office expires and he wants to return to Beijing to resume his job, that's why he wants to sell the house." Big, but small is not small, but if it is just a county magistrate, I am afraid that it will not be famous in the local area, just like Master Lin back then. After settling down in Lin'an City, those who can usually buy a house in that place, besides being rich, must also have power. It happened that one of Nie Qiuran's classmates had a good relationship with him, and it was only through his lobbying that he found out that there was a house. Such a house.

That Tongzhi left in a hurry, the Beijing-China transfer order has already been issued, and I am afraid he will leave in this month or so. This fifth-rank official is nothing in Lin'an City, and the house he bought is not big. There is only a courtyard with three entrances and a small garden, which is really nothing among high-ranking officials and nobles, but it is precisely because the house is not big that he can't sell it at a high price. In addition, Nie Qiuran is a classmate to help him, so the price It was even cheaper. If you miss this time, it will be even more difficult to buy a house in such a place in the future.Otherwise, Nie Qiuran would not have asked Mrs. Nie for a loan.

You must know that although Master Nie has silver in his hand, according to Nie Qiuran's estimation, even if Master Nie has some silver in his hand, it is no more than three to forty taels at most. Money, this is already a lot in Xiaowan Village, but if you want to save it, you really can’t save much. During the festivals and festivals, the master will reward some, and you have to take it home for the Sun and others to chew. There is not much left.Nie Qiuran has been good at reading since he was a child. Many masters would rather teach such a child. It is easy to become famous. Since he was young, he was the one who spent the least money from Master Nie in Nie's family. Nie Qiuran was a little older. It is to copy books for others to earn money. Master Nie didn’t give him much money. This is one of the reasons why Master Nie didn’t respond much when he said he wanted to marry Cui Wei. If you can contain him, you will naturally have less confidence to interfere with him. This is one of the places where he is completely the same as Cui Jingzhong.

For some reason, Cui Wei instinctively did not want to ask Master Nie to borrow money. When she heard what Nie Qiuran said, although she was a little moved in her heart, she still shook her head. After all, she was reluctant to ask Master Nie. She had a hunch , if he finds Master Nie, he may still have troubles in the future.Seeing her pursing her lips and shaking her head, Nie Qiuran felt a little helpless, but after thinking about it, she decided to let her go to the city with him this time. Anyway, it’s not short of money. Let’s talk about it when we enter the city. At worst, we can think about other things at that time. The solution is!

Keeping her own business in mind, Cui Wei has simply started making all kinds of pastries, cream and other things in the past two days. Although she can't make colorful colors nowadays, most of the reason is because there is no jam added to them. , if you can have jam, it’s not that you can’t make other colors, but the taste of the cream is already very pure. Cui Wei is also afraid of spoiling, so I only made about ten. I’m preparing this for gift giving. Let’s try it by the way Paleo tastes like this or not.

This time, Cui Jingping is still guarding the house, and now the Cui family is in trouble, Cui Jingzhong is dying all day long, Yang and others have no time to trouble her, not to mention the last time Yang lied to Cui Jingping so that Cui Jingping escaped from home After that, Mrs. Yang was frightened, and she probably wouldn't make trouble again. Thinking of this, Cui Wei naturally felt more at ease. Since Nie Qiuran decided to take her into the city, she naturally planned to stay at home for a few more days. God, but this time he said he had something to go back to the city, so he prepared to leave a few days in advance, so that when he arrived in Lin'an City, he could take Cui Wei for a stroll!

ps: The fifth update is here~~~ I stopped today until now, and I’m panicking, and I’m so hot. . . . .I know everyone is waiting impatiently. In fact, I also got ants in the hot pot. I called the power supply bureau and kept asking. Some people said that I swiped the ticket. I really don’t have a conscience. It’s just that my account has a pink ticket. Silly, I gave myself an old book at the beginning of the month. I can pat my chest and say that every pink ticket is my hard work. If I were a brush, I would not have so many subscriptions. You can go to the new book list, I got the pink ticket with five votes for one, I dare not say that I am the hardest working person, but I can definitely guarantee that I am a hardworking person, five votes for one change, insist on half a book On the fifth day of the month, sometimes even the sixth day, my little fan has a clear conscience!
