Chapter 236
Chapter 236
"Father, let me go." Du Xiu looked at the Patriarch of the Du family who was thinking in front of the desk, "I'm going to Linhai, I can swim."
"Xiu'er, what kind of person do you think Brother Qing is?"
Du Xiu frowned slightly, it was Liu Yaoqing who asked, not Zhezi.As early as when County Magistrate Du began sending letters back, Du Xiu, as a leader of his generation, already knew Zhezi's identity.
It's just that at that time he felt that the Du family had done something wrong. That was his elder brother, but he was willing to be a small county magistrate, Zhezi... With such an identity, he lived in a small village. He knew clearly that if Zhezi wanted to, he would even To be able to step up to the highest position.
This is completely different from what Du Xiu thought in his mind. Shouldn't a large family be living in the capital, deal with the powerful, deal with the royal family, and influence the situation in the world?
Why guard the small Shanggu Village.
Later, many things happened, such as Shenxianniang, Taoerniang, corn, potatoes, strawberries, Shanggu Village, Danxian County, Linhai, the school, and those weird soldiers.
Along with these events came countless others, each of whom shined brightly.Liang Songzi stirred up wind and rain in Beijing, and even the living signboard Gao Fugui opened many shops, and there were traces of Shanggu Village and Dan County everywhere in the capital.
Those people followed Liu Yaoqing step by step to the top of the limelight and became the influential figures of this era.
After thinking about this, Du Xiu said, "Brother Qing...is a strange person."
"You are still too young." The Patriarch of the Du family shook his head slightly, "Forget it, you are the only one in the family who is smart enough, so I will ask you to make good fortune just like Old Man Shen."
"Yes, Father." Du Xiu still didn't quite understand, but he knew that the Patriarch's decision had never been missed.
"Go alone, don't bring any servants with you. I will tell you something today as a father, you have to remember, brother Qing, is the same as the Qin family."
Du Xiu was taken aback for a moment, and finally understood.
The Qin family has been the royal family for hundreds of years, and the emperors of all dynasties, no matter what the history books say, call the Great Qin as impenetrable as gold. This credit belongs to the entire Qin family.The importance of Liu Yaoqing was the same as that of the Qin family, which made Du Xiu afraid to think about it. No wonder the head of the family kept his secret and asked his elder brother to go to Shangnan County for decades.
Such a character, even if he puts all his strength into the country, is probably not too much.
With the thought of awe in his heart, Du Xiu came out alone, without approaching Shangnan County, Shanggu Village, Dan County and other places, he came directly to Linhai, stopped at the gate, and announced his name.
The man guarding the door immediately said: "Please come in, Brother Qing should be in the dining hall right now."
When Du Xiu arrived at Xie, seeing someone taking his horse away, he took a few glances and walked inside.
Linhai is very large, and only the towering walls can be seen from the outside. Du Xiu heard the men in the village say that if he climbed to the mountain, he could see big boats on the sea like small hills. Far, far away.
Entering Linhai, Du Xiu saw different courtyards. There were people guarding the gates. Occasionally, there were people walking outside. They were all wearing the same clothes. Their steps were in a hurry, and it was obvious that they were very busy.
Some stewards also saw Du Xiu and asked a few words. After knowing that it was Du Xiu, they kindly pointed the direction of the dining hall.
Walking along the road, Du Xiu saw a house as tall as a palace, with a tall roof and tall wooden pillars on the walls. Many doors were open, and rows of wooden tables could be seen inside. A wooden bench with a row of windows on the inside.
It's not time to eat, only the people in the dining hall are busy, and there are a few people sitting in the corner of the dining hall. One of the best-looking brothers is smiling, holding a little kid by the hand.
"Father, someone is here, I haven't seen him before." The little child saw Du Xiu first, and said in a baby voice.
"Let me see, it should be Du Xiu, right?" Liu Yaoqing turned her head and waited for Du Xiu to approach.
Du Xiu nodded.
"I'm Liu Yaoqing, go and settle down first, come with me." Liu Yaoqing led the child to stand up, brother Zhezi followed, and everyone else went to work on their own.
Led Du Xiu to the storeroom, took brand new bedding, clothes, wooden basins, etc., Liu Yaoqing led him to the house again, "I will live in this house for you for a while, if you want to live in another , you can exchange it with your own money. If you are not used to telling me here, I will not force you."
"Uncle, you are very powerful." The little boy turned his head and said seriously.
When Liu Yaoqing heard this, she hurriedly said: "Qin Jingyu, you can't say that." Then she turned her head and explained to Du Xiu, "I read the letter in advance, and I knew it was you, so I told everyone. The kid listened to it."
Du Xiu pursed his lips, shook his head and didn't care about it.
He is a leader in the Du family's generation. He is naturally capable. He was enlightened at the age of three, able to write at the age of seven, and passed the examination for scholar at the age of 11. If he didn't want to take up the quota for Juren later, he would continue to take the exam. Woolen cloth.
Looking at Zhezi without any trace, Du Xiu felt that although he was not as good as this one, he might be able to count in Linhai.
This is his pride as a son of an aristocratic family. The things he has been exposed to since childhood are different from those of Linhai. No matter how smart they are, they were not cultivated from childhood.
After tidying up his house, Du Xiu changed into the clothes here again, looked around, and only saw Liu Yaoqing again in the dining hall at night.
They all lined up for dinner, Liu Yaoqing was carrying the wooden tray, Qin Jingyu was too small to carry the wooden tray, he only held a small round tray, and followed Liu Yaoqing closely.
"I have chicken legs today, I love chicken legs, and chicken gizzards." Liu Yaoqing said happily, "Brother Zhezi, order more chicken gizzards. Qin Jingyu, what do you want to eat?"
Qin Jingyu was picked up by Brother Zhezi, and looked down at the pots of vegetables in the window.
"Eggs and cucumbers."
"Give him a spoonful of cucumber scrambled eggs and a steamed bun." Liu Yaoqing said.
The brother inside scooped up the vegetables neatly, and the plate was full.
Qin Jingyu was put down, holding the plate with both hands, and asked Liu Yaoqing to help hold the steamed buns, and followed to the dining table.
Putting the plate in front of him, Qin Jingyu climbed onto the bench to finish it, and waited with his face up for Liu Yaoqing to tear half of the steamed buns to him.Brother Zhezi came from behind with two wooden trays, one of which was for Qin Jingyu with goat milk.
"You have to finish the dishes you make yourself, you know?" Liu Yaoqing picked up some other dishes for Qin Jingyu, and took some of the cucumber scrambled eggs away, "Can I finish these?"
Qin Jingyu looked at his plate, then at the goat milk, then at the steamed bun in his hand, and nodded slightly.
"That's good." Liu Yaoqing breathed a sigh of relief, if he helped this kid eat again, he wouldn't be able to eat what was on his own plate, so he had to ask brother Zhezi to help.
Qin Jingyu has only been here for a few days, and he came with Brother Xing and Brother Guo.Liu Yaoqing intends to raise her own children one by one, and can only bring one at a time, if there are two, he will definitely be too busy, if there are three at once... then Liu Yaoqing will feel that she can't survive, and can't live with brother Zhezi.
Holding chopsticks that were one size smaller, Qin Jingyu ate a mouthful of steamed buns, drank goat milk, and slowly ate all the vegetables on the plate, leaving only one piece of meat that could not be chewed.
Liu Yaoqing took the meat and ate it by herself, and there was half of the food on her own plate, which I gave to brother Zhezi.
Brother Zhezi ate them all.
The family of three put the dishes in the designated place together, and then came back, the dining table had been wiped clean.
Du Xiu also ate there, he thought it tasted good, he ate two big steamed buns in a row, and he was just full.
"Settling accounts, right?" Liu Yaoqing said, "If I sell a catty of strawberries for three cents and three cents, how many catties of strawberries can I buy with ten taels of silver?"
Du Xiu had already prepared himself and waited for Liu Yaoqing to ask questions. He felt that even if he was among the most powerful young masters in the capital, he would not be embarrassed, but he didn't expect Liu Yaoqing to open his mouth and he would be stuck.
Opened his mouth, Du Xiu hesitated and said, "I won't."
"It's not difficult. With your talent, you can learn it in one night. There are also table making, statistics, etc., and I will arrange work for you after you learn it." Liu Yaoqing turned her head and nodded Qin Jingyu's slap Big little book, "Eighteen plus fifteen won't count?"
Qin Jingyu began to snap his fingers, and said after a while: "It's 33 miles."
Du Xiu couldn't help but follow the calculations in his mind, and he didn't think of the answer right away.
After arranging for Du Xiu, Liu Yaoqing led Qin Jingyu back to the house, and the two of them lay on the kang together, listening to brother Zhezi tell stories.
I fell asleep listening to it.
That night, Du Xiu was dreaming about settling accounts. For about half a month, Du Xiu felt that he had learned enough, so he went to find Liu Yaoqing, and heard Liu Yaoqing in the room say, "Qin Jingyu, I'm asking you. Now I have eight Bai Niangxian ate one and a half strawberries, Liu Doudou ate three, how many are left?"
"Father, the two younger brothers won't steal food." Qin Jingyu said seriously.
"Father knows they won't steal it, but it's an arithmetic problem, and Dad assumed it." Liu Yaoqing hurriedly corrected, "That's our Erhazi and Heibeizi stealing it, okay?"
The two dogs on the mountain will indeed steal strawberries, and they will tell others that they have also eaten wild raspberries.
Qin Jingyu nodded, and took a charcoal pencil to write and draw on the paper.
Du Xiu calculated in his heart, but found that he couldn't figure it out all at once.
Feeling a little depressed, Du Xiu turned around and went back to study for half a month before coming to Liu Yaoqing.
"Well, we're going to go to the sea to survey and draw a map." Liu Yaoqing counted with his fingers, "The preparations should be almost done over there, let's start tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Although the island is huge, there were not many people on it, and more than half of them were killed.After the big ships were built, they were brought in one by one. After these days, there should be no one on the island.
Resting at night, Liu Yaoqing leaned close to brother Zhezi and whispered, "Brother Zhezi, do you want to take Qin Jingyu out to see the world?"
"He wanted to go out by himself, so he told me secretly." Brother Zhezi had a smile in his eyes, "Brother Qing makes the decision."
"Are you looking for you secretly, do you think I'm not good at talking?" Liu Yaoqing rubbed his chin and said, "Then let's take him outside to have a look. Our child should be raised from an early age."
