No, Lin Dazhu and Zhou, as well as Lin Yuanfeng and his wife, as well as the child's grandmother, Gao Cui's mother, all think so.
When the Gao family went back yesterday, Gao Cuiniang did not go with them.
Her daughter had just given birth, so as a mother, she naturally had to stay for a few more days to feel at ease.
Gao Cuiniang was the first to agree to the idea of asking Xiucai Gong to name his granddaughter.
Originally, she was worried that her daughter-in-law would be rejected by her husband's family if she gave birth to a daughter.
Now it seems that it was entirely because of my overthinking. My grandfather and grandmother could think of letting Xiucai Gong name her, which shows that they are quite fond of her granddaughter.
Seeing that everyone looked like they were handing over the names of the younger members of the family to him, Lin Yuanqiu suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier.
I think of the poem in the Book of Songs, "There is a beautiful person, as graceful as the clear air."
Lin Yuanqiu picked up the pen and wrote the word "Wanqing" and said with a smile, "Why don't we call her Wanqing."
Wanqing, Lin Wanqing, everyone tried to recite it and found it quite easy to pronounce. This is a good name.
So, when they saw the little baby again, the uncles and aunts all started calling Qing'er, Qing'er.
…
The few days of vacation passed quickly, and I had to go to private school tomorrow.
Lin Yuanqiu began to pack the book box and a change of clothes.
After staying at home for so many days, Lin Yuanqiu felt as if summer vacation was over and school was about to start.
Yesterday, Lin Sanzhu and Feng specifically asked Lin Yuanqiu about his future plans, such as whether he had any thoughts about going to a county school.
Lin Yuanqiu shook his head and told his parents that he would not go to the county school for the time being and would not prepare for exams in the next few years.
Lin Sanzhu and Feng both breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that their son had no plans to go to a county school for the time being.
Although he knew that the teaching in the county was definitely better than that in the town, his dog was still young. How could they, as parents, rest assured that he was allowed to run so far alone.
So, let’s wait until the dog is older.
Lin Yuanqiu opened the drawer and took out volumes of paintings.
In the past few days, Lin Yuanqiu painted all the remaining pieces of rice paper when he had free time.
Lin Yuanqiu has always been very positive about things that can make money.
Opening the lid of the book box, Lin Yuanqiu put all the rolled paintings inside. He hadn't been to a calligraphy and painting shop for several months. Lin Yuanqiu planned to go to Hexi Street after arriving in town tomorrow.
…
Chapter 74 Peace of mind
After packing up all the things he was going to take to the private school, Lin Yuanqiu picked up the bamboo tube filled with water on the table and prepared to go to the water tank to scoop some water for grinding ink.
It was still some time before dinner, and Lin Yuanqiu wanted to practice the official script he had not written for a long time.
At this time, I heard a knock on the door. I opened the door and saw that it was the eldest sister.
Since Feng's sisters-in-law were busy with the embroidery business, Chunmei helped make most of the clothes for her siblings. So now she brought newly made clothes.
This is a moon-white gown, made of Lin Yuanqiu's favorite fine cotton.
Although he now has the status of a scholar and can wear the standard shirt, Lin Yuanqiu really doesn't like the style that is cut from top to bottom. In addition, it has wide sleeves and is extremely inconvenient to wear, whether writing or eating.
The most important thing is that I often go to calligraphy and painting shops. If Shopkeeper Hu knows people through clothes and knows that he is the nine-year-old scholar from Hengxi Town, he will definitely get into a lot of unnecessary trouble in the future.
So I’d better not wear those t-shirts or anything like that for the time being.
Lin Yuanqiu put the new clothes on and tried it on. He found that the size was just right and the length of the sleeves was just right. It seemed that the clothes were made for him.
"Thank you, sis!"
Lin Yuanqiu cupped his hands and bowed to Chunmei.
Seeing that the fifth brother's movements were full of bookishness, and the serious expression on his little face, Chunmei couldn't help but want to laugh, "Thank you, it doesn't take much trouble."
As she said that, Chunmei hesitated to speak.
With this look, it seemed that he still had something to say. Lin Yuanqiu moved a stool for Chunmei, asked her to sit down, and then said, "Sister, I have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Chunmei felt a little embarrassed when she thought about asking. But when she thought about it, she had several marriage plans thanks to her fifth brother, so there was nothing bad to say. Besides, this was her own brother, so he would definitely not laugh at her.
So Chunmei gritted her teeth and quickly expressed her thoughts. That is to ask the fifth brother to help her analyze and analyze the three families at present, which one is more suitable for her eldest sister.
As soon as she finished speaking, Chunmei's whole face turned red. If possible, she wouldn't want to trouble her fifth brother with such a thing, but now she really has no idea.
Before this year, Chunmei had never thought about the possibility of marrying into the town and coming from a good family.
This made her, who was originally straightforward, a little confused for a moment, not knowing which one she should choose.
So, Chunmei, who had been upset for several days, thought of simply asking her fifth brother to help her make up her mind.
When he heard that he was asked to help choose the eldest brother-in-law, Lin Yuanqiu almost choked on his own saliva.
But seeing the confused look in the eldest sister's eyes, Lin Yuanqiu felt that this matter was understandable.
After all, this is a lifelong event, so it is normal to have a lot of worries in your heart.
What's more, this is not the modern era, where young men and women can fall in love to promote understanding. Here, if they say they can meet you before getting married, the elders in the family are considered enlightened.
Presumably the eldest sister was really helpless, so she thought of asking him for an idea.
But one thing Lin Yuanqiu is sure of is that the eldest sister should already have her own choice in her heart. The reason why she hasn't decided yet is because she lacks someone who can help her sort out her thoughts.
So I have to help sort it out from beginning to end.
After thinking about it, Lin Yuanqiu asked, "Sister, which of these families do you like?"
Chunmei's ears turned red when her fifth brother asked so straightforwardly, but she still answered, "It's the Lu family."
The Lu family?
Lin Yuanqiu nodded, just as he guessed.
As for why he was so sure, it was because when Zhou Xing came to pick up Zhou Zixu a few days ago, Lin Sanzhu specifically asked him about the situation of several companies.
Zhou Xing has been in the town for many years and knows a little bit about these families. And the eldest grandson of the Lu family had studied in Ziqing Hall for several years before. Although he didn't achieve anything famous, his temperament and conduct were quite good.
As for Landlord Zhang's family and Zhou Ji Buzhuang, Zhou Xing's original words were that he had been in the town for so many years and he had never heard anyone say anything bad about these two families, so I guess it was okay.
But Zhou Xing shook his head and said he didn't know clearly about the offspring of these two families.
Afterwards, Lin Sanzhu told Zhou and Lin Dazhu everything he had learned.
Therefore, it is normal for the eldest sister to choose the Lu family when she knows that the grandson of the Lu family has good character.
After all, when choosing a husband, whether he is good at studying is secondary, temperament and conduct are the first priority.
Lin Yuanqiu somewhat knew the reason for the eldest sister's uneasiness at this time. It was probably due to lack of confidence. I always feel that I, a country girl, have reached a higher level than others.
In addition, I am worried that there is a huge gap between myself and the eldest grandson of the Lu family, and I am afraid that I will not be able to adapt to life after marrying him.
After thinking about the reason, Lin Yuanqiu smiled and said, "Sister, how is your calligraphy?"
Lin Yuanqiu knew that apart from Lin Yuanfeng and his father, the eldest sister was probably the most serious about literacy in the family.
When her fifth brother suddenly asked her about literacy, Chunmei was stunned for a moment. After she came to her senses, she hurriedly said, "I am currently learning the Thousand-Character Classic."
After saying that, Chunmei immediately understood what Lin Yuanqiu meant. The fifth brother wanted to tell her that now that she was literate, she was not any worse than others, right?
Lin Yuanqiu did mean this. In his opinion, this was not a modern day where every girl could study. My eldest sister is much better than the other girls in terms of literacy.
Besides, the eldest sister has a good temper and is good at all things female celebrities, so she will definitely have no problem living a good life.
Lin Chunmei, who had been struggling for many days after being analyzed like this by her fifth brother, finally felt a lot more at ease.
…
The next day, after having breakfast, the father and son got on the ox cart again to Hengxi Town.
Originally, Lin Yuanqiu wanted to discuss with his father so that he could agree to let him ride an ox cart back to the private school alone, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was rejected.
Lin Sanzhu still said the same thing, "What Ren Yazi loves to catch is a smart and smart boy like you. Then he will be sold as a servant and not even have enough to eat!"
Originally, Lin Sanzhu wanted to say that he was fair and tender, but when he saw his dog's heavily tanned face, he immediately changed it to smart.
Lin Yuanqiu: "..."
Much better than the last time I was sold to mine coal.
…
The father and son soon arrived in the town. When they arrived at the Zi Qing Hall, they saw many people standing at the door. Without exception, they were all an adult and a child.
Lin Yuanqiu looked at the children and found that they were all strangers and were not students of Class B. They must be new students here.
Lin Sanzhu helped Lin Yuanqiu carry the baggage and bookbox to the dormitory, and then left without stopping. He asked Lin Yuanqiu to take care of himself and left.
In at least half a month, the family will be picking persimmons to make persimmon cakes, and they will be busy for many days in a row.
So when Lin Sanzhu came over today, he specially brought the embroidery that was due at the end of the month in advance. Now he had to go to the bookstore.
Lin Yuanqiu was still thinking about selling paintings, so he didn't delay. After talking to the gatekeeper, Uncle Zhong, he carried the book box and headed to Hexi Street.
During this period, shopkeeper Hu's expectations could not be overstated.
He didn't understand why the little kid who was supposed to come over every ten days and a half couldn't come over anymore.
Worried about whether his business would be robbed by others, shopkeeper Hu stayed at the intersection for several days, but he didn't even see anyone.
You won’t go to a neighboring county to make a living, right?
If this is the case, what should I do with the Bodhisattva portraits I ordered in my shop? They all paid deposits, and I won’t have to pay for them by then.
At this moment, Shopkeeper Hu had to be thankful that he was smart and didn't set a date for handing over the paintings with those customers. Otherwise, more than two months have passed, and I will definitely be chased and scolded by them.
It's just that if the great-nephew of the "Taoyuan Mountain native" never shows up again, no matter how clever I am, it will be of no use.
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Hu couldn't help but sigh. Just when he was about to sigh that it was a pity, he saw Lin Yuanqiu, wearing an indigo blue gown, walking in.
"Oh, little friend, I've been looking forward to seeing you, old shopkeeper."
Shopkeeper Hu's mood at this time can simply be described as joyful. No, his originally small eyes were now narrowed into smiles.
