Li Qiusui sat on the women's side, separated from the men's side by a screen. She listened to every word spoken there.
Cuiyin left Jinfuyuan and worked as an errand in the second house. She was serving this person. She once instigated Zheng Hui to cause trouble. Li Qiusui resolved the problem with a few words and didn't take it seriously at all. Later, he instigated Cuizhu's stepmother. After that, The family was driven to Zhuangzi by Master Zheng.
This matter has something to do with myself.
Is this person looking for trouble?
Li Qiusui didn't say anything. He knew who he was, but he still asked like this. He was deliberately looking for trouble.
Zheng Bin felt like shrinking back when he saw someone. If someone found out about causing trouble for such a young person, they might be laughing at him!
Li Qiu Sui didn't know what other people's scruples were, she was still impatient.
Since he is looking for trouble, he should quickly draw a path. He is busy and has no time to waste this time.
Zheng Bin can naturally understand the look on Li Qiusui's face, you are not impatient yet!
He immediately became furious, "A stinky girl from the countryside, how can she be so cruel and ruthless at such a young age? It's not enough for you to drive Cuiyin out of the big house, you also threaten my uncle and take away his family and his in-laws." We rushed to Zhuangzi together, didn't we just accept Divine Doctor Yang as our master? I really think you are so awesome, that boy Zheng Ying doesn't like you!"
Li Qiusui frowned, "If you are here to fight for Cuiyin, you might as well go to your uncle. He belongs to your family and was expelled by your uncle."
One push, two, four, six, don't say anything, the implication is that this matter has nothing to do with her!
Zheng Bin almost exploded with anger.
After the banquet that day, Zheng Ying told his father about the matter. Zheng Bin was called to Master Zheng's study in the front yard. He was lectured for a long time. He also said that he would be sent directly to the capital to be taught by Master Zheng in person if he didn't have the courage to do so. .
Mr. Zheng was always strict and disliked his second son, a concubine who was ignorant and incompetent. Not to mention Zheng Bin, as for his father, seeing Mr. Zheng was like a mouse seeing a cat.
Zheng Ying said that he was sent to the capital to teach reading. You really are teaching reading.
Zheng Bin thought of Old Mrs. Zheng's methods and resisted the urge to shrink back, "A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye! I won't argue with you little duckling!"
After saying the harsh words, Zheng Bin left, a second-generation ancestor who was ignorant and incompetent.
Li Qiusui didn't take this matter to heart.
…
…
Another half month passed, and she was busy these days. Schoolwork and medical books took up most of her time. She still had time to go visit the house in Dongcheng.
Cuizhu's brother's symptoms were all gone, and her father Xiang Tietou went home. The house and Xiaobao were taken care of by the few servants who had just bought him. Cuizhu went to see her when she had time, and only listened to her After talking about the situation there, I never found a chance to go there.
Cuizhu carried a bag of things and walked in. "Girl, this is a letter from Butler Zheng Fu."
Except for that time when his parents replied to a letter, Li Qiu Sui had never received any letters from outside. He was afraid that he had asked someone to send them to him due to family matters.
The handwriting on the envelope was regular and regular, unlike the handwriting of the three Li Changshan brothers. Li Qiusui tore open the envelope in twos and twos, and the contents inside surprised her.
The letter was actually written by Li Changgen, but it was in the tone of his cousin Li Changhe.
Li Changgen is Li Qiu Sui's clan brother. If he can be called clan brother, he is naturally from the same clan. To put it simply, he is the elder brother of the clan who has emerged from the fifth server. Li Qiu Sui came to the Zheng family to exchange for three places to study in Fucheng. One of them was said to be given to the best-reading man in the clan, Li Changgen.
The letter said that Li Changhe, Li Changgen and Li Changqing, the eldest grandson of the Li clan leader Li Guangping, were all studying at Songyun Academy in Fucheng. For half a year, they got along well with their classmates. Until half a month ago, a young man known as Mr. Zheng would jump out from time to time to cause trouble for them.
They said they were dirt-legged people from the country, and these humiliating words, with the intention of not offending others, they tolerated it as long as they could. Unexpectedly, the other party not only did not restrain themselves, but also worsened the situation. They joined forces with the second generation ancestors who had a good relationship, and first mocked and so on. After verbally insulting them and seeing that they were indifferent, he actually accused them of stealing in broad daylight.
This incident alarmed the headmaster of the academy. Li Changgen was favored by the gentlemen in the academy, otherwise they would have been kicked out of the academy in disgrace without even having any room to defend themselves.
The end of the letter said that the second young master Zheng had just been reprimanded by the mountain chief and for a while he did not dare to cause trouble again. He also asked Li Qiusui how he was doing at the Zheng family and if he could go out to see him now that he was free.
When Li Qiu Sui saw this, he closed the letter and chuckled. He had really underestimated the Second Young Master Zheng. He thought he had picked on her once and let the matter be over. It turned out that what they said was "wait and see". This is waiting for her!
I have a rest tomorrow, and I also said that I would go to the house in the east of the city to have a look. Forget it, let’s go to the academy to see my cousin and the others first!
During the half year he was in Fucheng, Li Qiu Sui never once thought of going to the academy to see them, and they didn't even think of looking for them. Now he could be considered as having caused trouble to them. He heard that he was almost kicked out of the academy.
Li Qiusui asked Cuiping: "Isn't Second Master Zheng studying in the clan?"
She really didn't know about this. The schools here were all for girls. I heard that Zheng Ying was studying in the school next door. Why did Mr. Zheng go to Songyun Academy?
Cuiping handed over a cup of tea and said: "The second Young Master Zheng will naturally go to the academy to study after he is ten years old. Even the Young Master Zheng cannot continue to study in the clan after he is ten years old. I don't know the reason. "
Li Qiu Sui used cup rocks to drive tea back and forth. This arrangement was reasonable. The man was enlightened in his family, and he was still young, so it didn't have much influence. When he got older, he could make friends, classmates, and members of his family when he went to study outside. Although there are people with foreign surnames who come here to study, there can only be a few people in such a large courtyard, so it is inevitable to study outside.
The Second Young Master Zheng is in his teens, which is the age when he should study and build connections. This second-generation Young Master has no shortage of like-minded people wherever he goes. If they join forces and want to teach the mud-legged people from the country a lesson, it’s really just a matter of raising their hands. .
Now that we have entered the ninth season, when we get up early in the morning, we can feel out of breath, and the weather outside is very cold.
Li Qiusui said: "Well, tomorrow you go to the clothing store outside early to buy two pairs of cotton-padded clothes, the kind of long robes worn by scholars. The size is about the same as my brother-in-law. In addition, bring back some cakes."
I have decided to go to the academy to see people tomorrow, so I can’t go empty-handed.
Cuiping was good at needlework. She had met Li Sizhu. As soon as Li Qiusui said it, she had an impression in her mind. She nodded hurriedly when she heard this.
"Do you want to bring some pens, ink and paper with you?"
"Then you go to the bookstore we went to last time and buy some more. You and Cuizhu should also practice calligraphy."
After Li Qiu Sui gave his instructions, he went about his business, while Cuiping left in a hurry.
