Chapter 113 Learn from others
Although my dear brother wants to deal with me properly for the sake of his elder sister, he really doesn't want to spend time with people who pretend to be cultured. What's more, he has to find a way to stay away from my wife's niece.
Qin Siyuan was at a loss for words.
Qin Yuan smiled and said, "My cousin is usually in the Imperial College, and he took a special leave to come out today. However, my sixth brother likes to form a poetry club, and my cousin and his brother-in-law have made an appointment to go to Yuyuantan for a trip, so why not let my sixth brother go with them that day."
"What a coincidence," Gu Liuye said happily, "What Third Sister-in-law mentioned, Ziqi has also made an appointment with me, if you go too, we can get close."
Qin Siyuan nodded dully: "...Okay..."
Master Gu Liu said to Qin Siyuan, "My dear brother, you don't know that my mother is a generous person. She will give good things to anyone she likes, just like my third brother. My mother has a very good taste. This inkstone and folding fan are just right for your elegance. As the saying goes, a sword is given to a hero, and rouge is given to a beauty. If my mother gave them to someone else, I would definitely think it was inappropriate. But it is perfect for you. A gift from an elder should not be disobeyed, so you should accept it."
Qin Siyuan had no choice but to accept it. It would seem too pedantic if he didn't accept it.
When Madam Gu saw that he accepted it, she smiled and said, "Hurry up and ask Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er to come out to meet the guests. These two children have learned a few words and they are eager to meet the future Jinshi master."
Qin Siyuan's face flushed and he waved his hands in panic, saying, "Madam, you can't say that. I am only a juren now."
Seeing that he was shy and lied, not at all exaggerated, and was completely different from the people I usually interacted with, Master Gu Liu was even more reluctant to make friends with him.
Madam Gu Ba smiled and said, "No wonder the old lady is so good at talking to her. The Qin family is all outstanding. For such a bad man, her marriage has not been decided yet. I'm afraid they will fight over it soon."
Madam Gu Ba glared at the Imperial College with anger, and after the people left, she smiled and said to Xu Zhen, "I learned that my eighth sister-in-law brought her cousin to pay respects to the old lady, and Master Ba is here too, so you came to see him eagerly. My eighth sister-in-law knows that Master Ba has long wanted to make friends with his brother. Next time my eighth sister-in-law's brother comes, Master Ba will be upset if he sees him. Master Qin Duo is indeed a handsome man..."
Hearing this, the Imperial Academy stood up and said, "My dear brother, let me take you out for a walk. There is no lotus pond in the front yard, and it is a bad view right now. Let's go have some tea and chat. If the food goes bad later, Mother will naturally send someone to call you."
Madam Gu Ba glanced over Mr. Gu Liu's body and nodded slightly, looking very satisfied.
Zhi Xianle blushed as he glanced at Xu Zhen and said with a smile: "Mother, I know. If I don't meet someone like Qin Xiandi in the future, I will definitely learn to be bad. Before I come back, please teach me how to behave."
Madam Gu smiled and said, "We are all sensible children. We just need someone to teach us carefully in the future. Madam Zhao is ill. You left us in the lower room. You have to find something for us to do so that we won't waste time. He wants to learn less now. His eighth sister-in-law said that we should learn until we die. There are still many people who pass the imperial examination at a young age. He also wants to learn from Master Qin Duo and read more books of sages. He means that he needs to understand the principles when he is about to take the imperial examination, so that he can set an example for his sons."
Madam Gu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Every time he comes, he thinks about eating, which shows that he is a greedy person. He is really right. Knowing that Tang Duoye was coming, Rong Madam said that she would cook a few of her specialties."
Zhi Xianle glanced at Madam Gu Ba with a depressed look.
Mr. Gu Liu also greeted you again.
Qin Siyuan quietly observed the expressions of the crowd.
Madam Gu smiled and said, "His sister has already said that I, the chief priest, think he will definitely win. They are all relatives, so it doesn't matter if it's a problem or not."
Qin Siyuan's ears turned red as he slowly glanced at Master Gu Liu. When he met Xu Zhen's gaze, he turned his head away awkwardly, staring at the fruit plate under the table with a stiff neck.
Zhixian smiled shyly and glanced at Xu Zhen. I also knew the adopted son and daughter of the Marquis. Seeing Zhixian calmly waving the round fan in his hand, I relaxed again.
The Imperial Academy said, "It's not that mother hates teasing people, she just looks at you like grown children."
If older children can change their bad ways, can the Imperial College do the same?
Xu Zhen smiled and said, "Eighth brother's wife is here, and Sister Zhen is here too. They came at a good time. Your cousin from your mother's side is here, and I'm afraid the old lady will keep some food for you. There's nothing bad to eat."
"I am devoted to study, and I live and eat at Cheng'er's. I don't have time to think about those things. When I pass the imperial examination, I will naturally find a bad family."
Madam Gu immediately interrupted you and said with a smile, "It's not that Lao Ba hates scholars. In those years, he also met a few people without real talent and hang out with these scholars all day. It's just that you said that few of those who spend all day boating and reciting poems can concentrate on studying and taking the imperial examinations. Lao Ba heard that his cousin from his mother's family was admitted to Zhixianle by himself, so he started talking about it and wanted to get to know him. As the saying goes, follow the example. If Lao Ba can concentrate on studying, he can become a scholar in his life, and you will be at ease."
Madam Gu laughed even harder and said, "Bad, follow him, Master Juren."
Yu Jie'er was talking, but she was staring at Gu Liuye with mischievous eyes.
Mr. Gu Liu couldn't help but twist his body.
Qin Siyuan and Yu Jie'er had been taught a lot of etiquette, so they came out, bowed, called people, and sat to one side.
Qin Yuan lowered his head.
The Imperial Academy was quite surprised and asked, "How did the mother train the two children? They are so sensible and obedient that they even know etiquette."
Zhi Xianle's eyelids jumped, and he realized that it was not the Eighth Madam and your nephew. He quickly lowered his eyelids and dared not look again.
As he was talking, a man's voice came from inside, with a smile, "I heard that the eighth sister-in-law's cousin is here, you should hurry over to recognize him as a relative."
Mrs. Gu: "..."
Madam Gu smiled and said, "Bad, I just came to our house, so it's inevitable that I'm a little free and easy. Let them go and talk, and you women can chat outside."
Madam Gu sighed, "This is too bad. The Qin family is a family that has passed down poetry and literature, and they want to learn from them."
The Imperial College frowned.
The curtain opened, and a man with a long face and wearing a honey-colored palace dress walked out, accompanied by a boy in a rosy-colored shirt and skirt.
Xu Zhen smiled and said, "Your seventh cousin will have to worry about all those things. Your cousin is shy, and I'm afraid he will be very nervous after hearing that."
Master Gu Liu, who wanted to study with the Imperial College, looked at Xu Zhen who was smiling with pursed lips helpfully: "..."
Mr. Gu Liu came to the Gu family today, wearing a 140% new summer shirt. Although it was rougher than the one he wore in the Imperial College, he was short in stature, had an outstanding appearance, and did not have a bookish air.
Gu Liuye stood up and said goodbye, and followed the Imperial College out. Qin Yuan glanced at my back reluctantly.
Xu Zhen saw Qin Yuan also secretly glanced at him a few times, her face flushed, and she was obviously very satisfied.
Zhi Xianle suddenly interrupted and said, "Mom, can you also study with your uncle?"
Gu Liuye blushed, gritted his teeth, and said hesitantly: "Old Madam, I still think it is appropriate. If the name is right, the words will be smooth. I really dare to take the responsibility."
