Sit back and reap the rewards

Chapter 27

After Qi Jia received the letter and knew the ins and outs of the matter, she knew that she must go there as soon as possible. Funing is now nine months old, and it is time to crawl around. She is in good health, so Qi Jia Decided to go on the road with my son.

The old lady didn't object either. The weather is warm now, and she has several grandchildren by her side, so it's good for Qi Jia to take her with her.

So after Qi Jia packed up quickly, she set off three days later. When she arrived in Taiyuan, it happened to be one month after Ma Qi wrote the letter. her.

Having a formal mistress at home is still different.

"Er Niang, it's all my fault. I didn't take good care of the family, otherwise the second brother wouldn't..." Lan Ting's feelings for Fu Yong are also good, after all, Fu Yong is also very concerned about her, so Lan Ting is in this There is also some guilt in the matter.

"What are you thinking about? Mrs. Qian is thinking too much. Although Fuyong was not born to me, he still needs to call me mother-in-law. Even if I am not as concerned about his marriage as your elder brother and third brother, I won't be like this." This move, isn't this a slap in the face of the Fucha family? Since Qian has an idea, no matter how you guard against her, she must be looking for an opportunity, so you are not to blame for this matter."

Qi Jia taught Lan Ting a lesson, and felt that she hadn't seen Qian clearly, and felt that she had always been honest, why sometimes she didn't understand the truth in the end.Don't worry, I can still think clearly, but can the master arrange his son casually?
But Qi Jia thinks again, this is also a good thing. Anyway, you are satisfied with the Aunt Qian who married in, but the master is not satisfied. It has nothing to do with her from the beginning to the end. Fu Yong knows it in his heart, and he must be with her. Qian's will no longer be so close, and she doesn't have to worry about Fu Yong's marriage choice at all, but it's just a little extra effort when getting married.Calculated in this way, Qi Jia feels that for her, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!

Qi Jia suddenly realized that this was a good thing. Not only did she not have to offend others, but also the master would feel that her idea was the right one. It seems that the future aunts will blow pillows in this regard, master. Also won't listen to it again.

After thinking clearly, Qi Jia's attitude changed. Now that the matter has been settled, he can't say that to the outside world.That would not be good for the Fucha family.

Wasn't Mrs. Liangyuan sick? After searching around, Qi Jia found out that her second aunt's niece's cousin was her third aunt's distant cousin. It's really far away!
But no matter how they are considered relatives, since they are, they should go to see them, so Qi Jia came to the house, and in the process, they fell in love with the eldest daughter of the family, so she, the mistress of the house, came forward to make an appointment.

This is an external statement. Of course, Niu Gulu's family and Fucha's family are basically well-informed inside.

Anyway, Toyong is also sixteen, and getting married is also possible. Now that the two parties have made an agreement, the process will naturally begin. After the big and small decisions are made, it is more than half completed.

Qi Jia's dowry was not bad, 24 liters, and her eldest son Fulton was 36 liters, so it was quite reasonable for Fuyong.

The two families agreed that when the girl and Ji get married, it will take a year, and Fuyong's marriage will be held when he is in Shanxi.

Although Aunt Qian was put in confinement, before the trip to the temple, Aunt Fang gave her another 1 taels, which was considered as an arrangement for her. She is very satisfied now, and even if her son separates in the future, there is no need to worry about family It's a matter of funding.

Lan Ting never understood what Aunt Qian did. The second brother was her own son, so how could she do this.

She didn't ask Qi Jiashi this question, but quietly asked Mother Jiang.

"Gege, everyone has their own ideas, and Aunt Qian's slaves probably understand a little or two."

Lan Ting hurriedly listened carefully.

"Aunt Qian's parents died early, and she grew up relying on her uncle. She has a good life when she enters our house, so she has shallow eyelids and hopes to have more money. She is not a slave girl. Aunt Qian is probably involved in the second young master's marriage. She took a lot, she just didn't think about how the master could treat the second young master badly."

What Mother Jiang said made Lan Ting roughly understand that it turned out to be a matter of money. Lan Ting deeply understood this. She came from modern times, and her original family background was an ordinary family. Although she is a wealthy family now, But Lan Ting himself hoped that she would have more silver in her hand.Otherwise, I would not have thought of the idea of ​​briquettes.

Speaking of briquettes, Lan Ting really made a small income. The third elder brother Fuqing gave Lan Ting a total of fifty pure gold nudes and a hundred silver nudes, each weighing one or two weights. dividends.

Of course, after Qi Jia's arrival, he felt that Lan Ting's accounts during this period were clear, and although there were few other transactions, he still performed well, so Lan Ting also got a small sum of money, 100 taels.

Lan Ting was very happy. Although she usually got a lot of lucky money and so on, this was the first silver she earned in the Qing Dynasty.

After Qi Jia's arrival, naturally she had more contacts with the wives. It turned out that Aunt Qian was not the official wife after all, so the banquets were much less, but Qi Jia was not. She was originally from a Manchurian surname, so As soon as he came, he was invited by the governor's wife.

Qi Jiashi naturally went to the banquet, which is her job, but Lan Ting did not go, she is still young, and Qi Jiashi thinks it is better for her daughter not to spread any fame before the draft, Qi Jiashi In my heart, I sincerely hope that Lan Ting will not be selected. It is not easy to be in the palace. Although her daughter is smart, she still seems to be lacking in some aspects.

But the master's official position is getting higher and higher, and Qi Jia feels that Lan Ting's chances of losing the election are getting lower and lower, so she is more strict with her.

After Qi Jia's arrival, and after talking with Mother Jiang and Mother Zhao for a while, Lan Ting had one more training.

Lan Ting has practiced the rules and the like for three or four years, and it can be said that there is no problem. Now, when Lan Ting greets Qi Jiashi, he suddenly hears the sound of a bowl breaking. Lan Ting was taken aback, and didn't know what was going on, but later realized that it was to keep her expression unchanged and her heart beating even in emergencies.

So there are more and more sudden occurrences like this. For example, when Lan Ting is walking or eating, after more than five months, Lan Ting is holding a teacup. After finishing the tea, I saw what happened again.

At this time, Lan Ting was already eight and a half years old, and now Lan Ting herself could say that she had the demeanor of a noble girl.

After Qi Jia's arrival, Lan Ting had a lot more time for himself. As a result, he arranged a lot of things to learn. Fortunately, Lan Ting reads books at a fast speed, and he has completely learned the Four Books and Five Classics. As for stereotyped articles, Lan Ting The court does not take the imperial examination, which is completely ignored.

The next thing is that I have read a lot of miscellaneous books. As for the history books, Lan Ting himself has read them. Although his mental power has not reached the seventh level, he is improving day by day. So after reading the history books twice, Lan Ting memorized them all.

What I am currently reading are the books collected after arriving in Shanxi. It can be said that Lan Ting’s current knowledge is not bad, and Ma Qi sometimes sighs. It’s a pity that Lan Ting is not a boy, otherwise the Fucha family will definitely have an extra horse A first-class Jinshi who paraded through the streets.

The reason why Lan Tinghui was not said to be the number one scholar is because the number one scholar is generally only given to Han people, and first-class talent is already very rare.

Lan Ting is a family member who knows about her family affairs. She is now much taller than her peers. Apart from having a good memory, high comprehension, and willingness to work hard, there is nothing else. Lan Ting is really not good at poetry. You let her It is not a problem to recite it, but it is still unnecessary to write poems by yourself.

Anyway, among the Eight Banners show girls, there are too few of them, and my daughter is already very outstanding.

If Qi Jia had to say something that was surprising, it would be Lan Ting's embroidery workers. He did not expect that Lan Ting's female celebrities have made great progress in the past half a year, and now they are very capable.

It seems that as long as this aspect is maintained, Lan Ting understands that this is one of the thirty choices.

Speaking of this, Lan Ting still has points to regret. Why didn't she choose medical skills? She can learn some aspects by herself, but medical skills require experience. Later, Lan Ting also figured it out. Can heal.

However, Lan Ting himself still mentioned it to Qi Jia. During the time in Shanxi, Qi Jia agreed to find an old doctor to teach Lan Ting, because Qi Jia also felt that it was only beneficial for Lan Ting to learn these things. There is no harm, although the nuns also know something, and the girl has also specially trained them, but these people may not be able to follow Lan Ting for a lifetime, and sometimes the more people in the big family know these things, the better.

And this is only known to Qi Jia himself, the class is at Qi Jia's place, no one else knows except Qiu Nanny, as for the piano, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy and painting for Lan Ting, each of them has some medical skills , but in different directions and to different degrees.

These few were cultivated since childhood, and the next batch of Qi Jia's is already doing it. It is estimated that in the future, some of the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting will be companions. As for the dowry girls, they still need to be cultivated, but this time it will take longer There are quite a few, what is needed now is to teach separately with key points.

Kangxi did not have any big things in the past 25 years, which is basically common sense. Ma Qi is indeed a bit talented, and he has done a good job in the position of chief envoy. Kangxi also specially gave him a blessing.

After Qi Jia's arrival, he communicated with people a lot. At the end of the year, when Lan Ting helped to settle the accounts, he found out that the income of the chief envoy was really not low. This year, his family actually had It will take more than a year before Ama takes office.

Moreover, according to Lan Ting's own observation, her Ama Maqi is not too corrupt, basically it is just the money that should be collected. It seems that the sentence of [-] snowflake silver from the magistrate in three years is true.

Seeing Lan Ting's appearance as a financial fan, Qi Jia wanted to laugh, "You, don't think that this is a lot. The chief envoys such as Tan Jing and Bing Jing who are sent to the capital every year also have a big share here, and The main thing is to take care of the things that are sent to the capital, and these must all come from your own belongings. Tan Jingbingjing can get more than half of them from the treasury. Once you get the number, more than half of your filial piety will go out."

Lan Ting thought to himself, even that is not too bad. After doing the math, his family has earned a lot in three years.

"Emiang, can I have a Zhuangzi?" Lan Ting suddenly remembered when he saw Yinzi, hot spring Zhuangzi, it seems that it will take more than 50 years in Kangxi to make money, but it is a good thing for her to have it in advance. !

"Why do you think of Hot Spring Zhuangzi?" Qi Jia was a little surprised.

"Er Niang, the hot spring water is smooth and creamy. Hot springs are good for the skin, and more bubbles are also good for Er Niang. Er Niang, you just agree." Lan Ting grabbed Qi Jia's hand and kept acting coquettishly .

"Okay, Er Niang agreed."

"I knew Er Niang was the best. Er Niang, it seems that the hot spring near Xiaotang Mountain is good, so I can buy it there." After seeing Qi Jia's agreement, Lan Ting quickly reminded.

"Okay, let's just follow what you said, but Zhuangzi needs to buy more, so that I can make a dowry for you in the future." Qi Jia laughed while talking.

"Er Niang!" Lan Ting could only express in this way. She is now in the Qing Dynasty, and basically other ladies would blush when they mentioned this, but Lan Ting at most just expressed her embarrassment in this way. In fact, Lan Ting The court didn't think there was anything unspeakable about it.

"Okay, okay, Er Niang will stop talking." Qi Jia also felt that it was too early to tell Lan Ting about this, but Lan Ting should prepare more for her dowry. Some can never be a bad thing.

Lan Ting had a good life in Taiyuan. By the 26th year of Kangxi, Lan Ting was already nine years old, and his second brother Fuyong was about to get married. Lan Ting thought that she should give his second brother something. It was her gift. Wedding gift.As for the second sister-in-law, Lan Ting embroidered a screen as her gift.

Lan Ting's purse has been quite rich in the past two years, and he thinks that if he goes out to have a look, maybe he can find something suitable.

After Lan Ting talked to Qi Jia, Qi Jia looked at Lan Ting's excuse to go out and knew that she was also bored at home, so she agreed, but sent a lot of people to follow, and at the same time let Fu Qing also Accompany, since Lan Ting has the heart, then Fu Qing will also buy a copy, which can be regarded as an expression of brotherly love.

After more than a year of careful teaching by Mrs. Qi Jia to Lan Ting, since last year, Mrs. Qi Jia has started to let Lan Ting be by her side when giving gifts, so that Mrs. Qi Jia first asks Lan Ting what she does when dealing with it. Think about it, and then deal with it by yourself. After that, ask Lan Ting why Er Niang did this, and Qi Jia will make some points based on Lan Ting's answer, and analyze Qi Jia's one by one that Lan Ting did not think of. Over the years, Lan Ting's ability to handle affairs has improved rapidly.

So Lan Ting can now understand that Er Niang will definitely let Ama know about their brothers and sisters giving gifts to their second brother.

Lan Ting feels that she is still far behind in this aspect, even if she has the ability to fight in the house, she may not be able to fight, so she has to work hard to improve.

Lan Ting and Fu Qing have been out for more than an hour. Both of them have bought presents. They are not expensive, but they are good. They are a set of mahogany ornaments. The branches are intertwined, which means wishing to be lovebirds in the sky and Lianli branches on the ground.

Lan Ting and the others had just finished shopping, and when they left the store, they heard, "Please save my brother, please."

Lan Ting wondered, she didn't seem to see that someone was beaten or sick, why didn't she find his brother that the man said?
What's the matter?
