Li Miao thought about the situation at her second aunt and her third aunt's home. There were many children, but they were young, and the adults were all busy.
There are many children and a lot of housework, and someone has to do it every day.
Although Mei Fang and Qiu Jing are not as old as Cai Wei, they have no problem cooking porridge, washing clothes, sweeping the floor, collecting firewood, and taking care of their younger siblings.
If she had to wait for her second and third aunts to come home from work in the tea garden, it would probably drive them crazy.
Thinking this way, she felt relieved.
As long as she didn't cause any trouble to her aunt, she thought she could learn some skills from Caiwei or the eldest lady of the Su family, which would be of great benefit to her in the future.
She doesn't expect to learn everything, even if she only learns 10% or 20%, it will be better than now!
Li Yuan had a good plan here, but unexpectedly, when she was talking to her grandma about this at night, she hit a snag.
The old lady felt that it was because of her own family that the two of them had conflicts, so that the two people who originally planned to take office together ended up with only Shao'an going, while Yuanniang was left behind.
Now Yuan Niang has not given birth to a child for Shao An, and the couple is in such trouble again.
If Yuan Niang takes Miaomiao and Qingwei back to Beijing, she will be openly confronting Shao An.
In this way, the contradiction between the couple will only become deeper and deeper.
No matter how deep the relationship is, it cannot withstand such trials and tribulations.
If Shaoan was back in Dongfeng Mansion, he would take a concubine just to anger his mother. She would stay with him day and night and give birth to a child.
Then in this family, where is there room for Yuan Niang?
As for the unlucky things in the past that had to eat Yuan Niang’s food, that has long since passed.
If someone can win the first prize, then he is the reincarnation of Wenquxing in the sky, and he is a person with great luck. How can he still have to rely on Yuan Niang?
Because of this thought, the old lady refused to let Li Miao and Qing Wei go to the capital.
What's more, Li Yuan was hinted at inside and outside her words, writing a letter to Xie Yanzhi with some soft words, then packing up and following her to Dongfeng Mansion.
He also said that Xie Yanzhi was young, handsome, had no troublesome people in his family, and had a good career, so he was a good son-in-law candidate in the eyes of the world.
She, Li Yuan, is old, divorced, and has two children.
I've been married to someone for so long, but they haven't given birth to a child. It's like they can't have children. Even if they are divorced, no one dares to say anything...
Li Yuan couldn't laugh or cry when she heard what her mother said. After the old lady finished her earnest words, she said: "Nai, you are overthinking, we really didn't quarrel. Letting Qingwei and Miaomiao go to the capital is also for their own good. Besides, , this is different from going to Dongfeng Mansion."
It's a pity that the old lady didn't believe her. When she heard this, she had a don't lie to me expression on her face.
"There was no quarrel? If there was no quarrel, you wouldn't go to Dongfeng Mansion? If there was no quarrel, how could you get up so late? If there was no quarrel, why were your eyes a little red when you woke up in the morning? And Shao An, he looked like he hadn't slept all night, When you left, you had a sullen face and were still worried?"
Li Yuan knew that this misunderstanding was huge.
There was no way she could tell her mother that the two of them were doing something harmonious and making trouble until dawn, right?
Because it was difficult to explain the reason, Li Yuan cleared her throat uncomfortably and said, "Mistress, do you think this will work?" Miaomiao and Qingwei followed me back to Beijing first, and then waited two months for Brother Xie to write to me. Well, I asked him to send a letter here to explain that we didn’t quarrel?”
Mrs. Wang had an expression that said, "I knew you would kill first and then show off." She shook her head decisively.
"No! Shao'an is a filial man. Qingwei and Miaomiao will be in the capital by then. Even if he writes a letter, it is probably because he is afraid that we will worry. In fact, he is not sure what to think. In this way, Miaomiao and Qingwei Stay here."
After finishing her words, she was afraid that Li Yuan would continue to persuade her, so she persuaded her in turn: "It won't take long for the private school here in Lijia'ao to be built. The master was also hired by Shaoan from the county school through his connections. . Come to think of it, Master’s knowledge is also very good.”
"As for Miaomiao, I have thought about it in my heart. Maybe it would be better not to be with you directly, but as your niece, I guess it won't be much worse. When the reward of our high-yielding sweet potatoes comes back, all the daughters of the Li family will be poor in the future. Not going anywhere.”
When the grandfather and grandson were saying this, Li Miao and Li Qingwei were outside the door.
The cousins heard the conversation clearly.
When Li Miao heard this, she reached out and knocked on the door. Then she heard her mother-in-law say come in, so she pushed the door open and entered.
"Grandma, I believe my aunt, she won't make fun of her own family. If she said she didn't quarrel with my eldest uncle, then she must have not quarreled. Of course, I know Lanxia City is good, and our place will be good in the future. . But in comparison, I hope I can go to the capital without affecting my aunt."
Qingwei, on the other hand, glanced sideways at his sister Miaomiao, and then looked at Li Yuan.
"Auntie, I'll stay here. My fourth uncle didn't study for so many years, and then he picked it up again. He was able to pass the examination as a scholar in such a short period of time. I believe I won't be too bad. What's more, before my third uncle, Before my fourth uncle went to the capital, he left me some books with many annotations, which were said to be copied from my eldest uncle."
As he spoke, he pursed his lips and said with expectation in his eyes: "Auntie, please go back to the capital and help me ask my third and fourth uncles if they come across any books that are suitable for me. Can you buy or copy a copy for me? ? Don’t worry, the money is as much as it should be, and my parents will make up for it later."
After hearing what he said, Li Yuan suddenly felt that among the next generation of the Li family, Qingwei might be the one with the best chance of embarking on an official career!
"Okay, since you don't want to go, then stay here."
Li Miao turned to look at Mrs. Wang: "Grandma, I want to go to the capital!"
Just as Mrs. Wang was about to refuse, Li Yuan agreed first.
"Okay! Caiwei is with her master now. When you go to the capital, you will follow Caiwei. You will do what she does. How much you can learn depends on you!"
Mrs. Wang didn't expect that the elder and the younger would just ignore her and settle the matter.
She looked back and forth between the two people twice, then sighed and said nothing.
This matter is settled like this.
The next day, Li Yuan went to Yan's house to see Yan Jiao's improving health. While feeling relieved, she also explained why she didn't follow her to Dongfeng Mansion.
Yan Jiao knew as soon as she heard that she probably wouldn't stay here for a long time, so she said: "Sister Yuan, before Can Niang gave birth to a child, I was seriously ill and didn't have time to prepare things for the children. These days, my aunt Prepare it for me. Can you help me carry it over when you return to Beijing?"
"Sure! You should take good care of yourself first. If nothing happens, I will come here and go to Dongfeng Mansion with you next June."
Speaking of Dongfeng Mansion, Yan Jiao's eyes showed anticipation.
Even if she goes there and can't stay with her Yun Jing, or even has to pretend that she doesn't know him, she can feel more at ease as long as she is closer to him and can see him.
