Shen Lianqing was still chattering beside him. Fu Qu thought for a moment and responded to her, "Okay."
"I said that although our Dabao doesn't look very smart, in fact he... hmm? What did you say?"
Fu Qu suppressed his physical discomfort and repeated it calmly, "Okay."
"Oh haha -" Shen Lianqing covered her lips and smiled exaggeratedly, "Really, thank you very much."
Fu Qu's slender eyelashes drooped. He held the handle of the pot for decoction with his bare hands. He poured the medicine into a bowl aside without feeling the heat, and waited for the medicine to cool down.
He put out the firewood in the pit and turned to look at her with a blush on his face, "But learning does not happen overnight. Although Dabao is very talented, he still needs a good environment."
"Uh...wouldn't it be too much trouble?" Shen Lianqing was afraid that he would tell her that she wanted to be a mother like Meng Mu Sanqian. In that case, she thought it was okay not to learn this knowledge.
Fu Qu could see her thoughts at a glance, and the corners of his mouth habitually curved into a gentle smile. Shen Lianqing told him not to smile. She found it ugly, and Fu Qu lost his smile all of a sudden.
Under the corner of his mouth, the coldness in his eyes when his face was expressionless was clearly visible. He said in a flat straight voice without any fluctuation, "I have a mentor who teaches in the town. Let Dabao live there and be edified by the fragrance of books for a long time." If you know him, he will definitely have more aura."
"Why do you want to go to the town? Can't you teach him? Or are you unwilling to teach him?" Shen Lianqing looked at him and said something to her.
Fu Qu really didn't want to teach Ji Dabao. What level of Ji Dabao was his neighbor for so many years still not seeing?
Sending him to his teacher in the town was just an excuse. When he went to Xishan Academy, he would naturally ask his teacher to send him back. Anyway, his teacher would be returning to his hometown in a while.
And rotten wood cannot be carved. I believe no one will think that sending Ji Dabao back is a wrong thing.
In addition, Xi Academy was hundreds of miles away from here, and he didn't believe that Shen Lianqing could still rush back to argue with him over her useless son.
If she told others about this in the village, there would be no need to worry. Her reputation in the village was already as bad as it could not be, and others would only think that she was being messy.
Everything makes sense.
Even if it was a bit troublesome for Ji Mao to come to collect debts, he would have other excuses, but Ji Mao was a dangerous person who didn't want to meddle in other people's business. He didn't see that he cared about Shen Lianqing or Ji Dabao.
Ha, maybe it's not as good as Shen Lianqing's heart.
All in all, he only did superficial things. If Ji Dabao could suddenly change his mind one day, he might also become a genius.
Although his heart was turning over and over again, his face remained as still as a mountain. Fu Qu explained, "Sister-in-law Ji, that's not the case."
"Then what do you mean?"
Fu Qu took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the sweat with a soft look in his eyes.
"Huai Jin knows that my sister-in-law has high expectations for me, but Huai Jin is just a student. Her teacher understands what Huai Jin understands, and her teacher also understands what Huai Jin doesn't understand. Huai Jin's achievements today are all due to his teacher's teaching. "
"In other words, since my teacher can teach a person like Huai Jin, he can definitely teach a second one. I think Dabao has inherited your intelligence and may be better than me in reading."
"Sending him to his mentor is just a matter of not delaying him."
"Oh?" On the surface, Shen Lianqing believed it without much thought, but in her heart, she no longer expected to rely on Fu Qu's path to make Ji Dabao an official.
She thought about it, let Ji Mao go, he was the villain!
This villain is not the person who opposes the male protagonist in the narrow sense, but the male protagonist, as a big shot in the imperial examination, will stand at the top of the court and become the backbone of the court.
What Ji Mao did in private was equivalent to the kind of subordinate who worked for the White Lotus Sect of the Qing Dynasty. Later, after going through a series of things, he would become one of the few people with power in their organization.
They represent the forces of different camps, equivalent to one good and one evil. The male protagonist is the good, and Ji Mao is the evil. So Fu Qu is the male protagonist in the conventional sense, and Ji Mao is the villain.
Shen Lianqing thought that Ji Mao was Ji Dabao's uncle. He would be at the top in the future. Wouldn't he be very powerful? So what's the point of giving Ji Dabao an official job?
At worst, when the pros and cons confront each other and pull him out, they will all be caught and lose their heads, leaving the whole family together.
Being an official also counts as completing the mission, right?
After thinking about the feasibility of this plan, she suddenly felt that the male protagonist was useless. She glanced at him and saw how disgusting he looked like a sickly handsome man.
"It's so flattering!" She couldn't help complaining.
Fu Qu:......
He thought she was talking about his illness, so he took the medicine that had been chilled on the stove. Fu Qu drank it all in one gulp, and it took a while for the medicine to take effect.
During his free time here, he was not idle either. He persuaded her to leave with good words. Shen Lianqing came to him not for Ji Dabao's sake, but for her own belly.
Ji Dabao's matter was settled, but her stomach matter was not yet settled, so she approached Fu Qu and pressed her white fingertips on his shoulders, "Fu, my sister-in-law helped you today, right?"
This again?
Fu Qu raised his eyes to look at her. He had a pure appearance, his face was as red as a peach blossom shining in water, and his beautiful eyes could almost make people look shy when they looked at them quietly.
It's a pity that Shen Lianqing doesn't understand amorous feelings. Looking at this face, she also thought it looked good. She stretched out her hand and pinched it directly. There was a mark on it, which was particularly pitiful when it fell on Fu Qu's face.
Fu Qu looked at her without saying a word, his eyes cold.
"Ahem!" Shen Lianqing refused to give up today's goal and remained shameless, "Boss Fu, my sister-in-law wants to..."
…
Fu Qu dragged his sick body to cook for Shen Lianqing. He had no appetite due to his health, so Shen Lianqing ate every dish on the table.
To be honest, Fu Qu also found it strange that Shen Lianqing behaved rudely, but he took off his chopsticks to eat and stuffed it into his mouth one bite at a time. He was very serious when eating. His face was bulging as white as a pear petal, and his cheeks moved while chewing. , her appearance when she was a little quiet matched her name "Shen Lianqing".
"It's done! Xiao Fu, my sister-in-law will come see you tomorrow!"
She put down her bowls and chopsticks, smiled at Fu Qu who was in a daze, and ran out in a hurry.
Fu Qu watched her leave. The two people in the house changed back to one person, a little cold.
He put his hand on the table emotionlessly, his eyes fell on the empty bowl, and he couldn't help but sneer.
