Chapter 110 Aunt Qin's Original Intention
Cui Qingyi nodded. "Aunt, what do you think of Qiao Yishi?"
Aunt Qin is knowledgeable and has an excellent eye for people. If there is anything wrong with Qiao Yishi, I believe Aunt Qin will be able to see it.
Aunt Qin smiled. Although she was in her forties and still looked very young, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes could no longer be hidden when she smiled.
But it is precisely because of these fine lines that Aunt Qin has the wisdom and approachability of an older woman.
"You should trust your own judgment. The person you choose for her can't be wrong. Even if there are some flaws, they are common human flaws and nothing serious."
At first, Aunt Qin felt that Cui Qingyi was a girl with a strong sense of independence, but she didn't think that this girl was particularly special.
After all, she had seen countless outstanding women, such as Zhou Yanxiu's mother and the Ming family. Establishing a girls' school was not uncommon in the Jin Dynasty; the Ming family had been clamoring for it from the beginning.
But the more they got along and understood each other, the less stereotyped she became. She thought that this was indeed a very special girl, and she had a quality that no one else in this dynasty had.
In fact, it was not the first time she heard Cui Qingyi's name when she heard that the girls' school was recruiting teachers. She had already known about this person from Zhou Yanxiu before the girls' school started classes.
Many times later, she heard about Cui's women's school from Zhou Yanxiu's servants.
Aunt Qin had to admit that her coming to the Cui family was not as simple as she said at the beginning. She was a close friend of Zhou Yanxiu. She had been with Zhou Yanxiu since his mother passed away. She knew everything about him and Ming.
Aunt Qin felt that Ming was not suitable for Zhou Yanxiu.
So when she heard that there was another woman around Zhou Yanxiu who was keen on running a girls' school, Aunt Qin's first reaction was displeasure, and then worry.
She admitted that the Ming family was indeed special, but the Zhou family's family background was not suitable for a woman who was too eccentric. Zhou Yanxiu needed a woman who could shoulder the responsibility of being the mistress of the Zhou family as his wife.
Ming is not suitable, and Cui Qingyi who suddenly appears is even less suitable.
So she had to come and take a look and, when necessary, remind Miss Cui that a family like the Zhou family was not something she should covet.
To this day, she still thinks the same way, that Cui is not suitable for Zhou Yanxiu.
But she never had the chance to say the words she had prepared in her mind countless times, because she found that this Miss Cui did not have her young master in her eyes.
Knowing that she came from Zhou Yanxiu's side, a woman who wanted to marry into a wealthy family would definitely seize the opportunity to please her with all her might, but the two men from the Cui family treated her like relatives who occasionally visited their home, taking good care of her without being overly polite, and there was no flattery at all.
Aunt Qin thought that if she said she wanted to go home, the two of them would immediately bring their cats and dogs to celebrate.
When she discovered this, Aunt Qin wondered if Cui hadn't discovered their true identities. But then she changed her mind and thought, not to mention her young master's status in the capital, even in a small place like Dongping County, isn't his status as a local official prominent enough?
The fact is, she just doesn't have the ambition to climb up the social ladder, and even her young master's outstanding appearance is not what this young lady is interested in.
Cui Qingyi didn't know what Aunt Qin was thinking. She really liked chatting with Aunt Qin. There were some questions that she couldn't figure out, and Aunt Qin always hit the nail on the head when she answered them.
Thinking that Konjac might get married in the near future, although they still meet every day, Cui Qingyi still feels a little lost.
After all, she was the girl she raised since she was a child. It would probably take her a long time to adapt to her sudden departure.
She sighed, "I'm just afraid. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake and choose a bad person for her. If she doesn't live a good life, it will be my fault."
Aunt Qin knew what was bothering Cui Qingyi. Most women who were marrying off their daughters were afraid of both wolves and tigers, and they were afraid that their daughters would not be able to marry a good man.
She smiled and reassured Cui Qingyi, "I think that Qiao family kid is pretty good, and Konjac is also a man with ideas. These two will have a good life together."
She had seen so many newcomers and found that if this woman wanted to live a good life, she really needed some wisdom.
Cui Qingyi felt relieved after hearing what Aunt Qin said. She actually thought Qiao Yishi was a good person, but Konjac was her own family after all, so she couldn't help but feel worried.
After talking about konjac, Cui Qingyi and Aunt Qin sat down to chat, and Fan Hui brought Qi Yuan to visit.
After the girls' school was on vacation, because the Cui family was busy with a lot of things, Fan Hui rarely brought Qi Yuan to visit. Now that Qi Yuan arrived at the girls' school, he first looked after Wangcai, and then went to the backyard to look at the oven.
Seeing that Aunt Qin was there, Fan Hui didn't rush to give the letter to Cui Qingyi and followed her to the backyard to check out the oven. When she saw an unfamiliar young man in the backyard, Fan Hui subconsciously took a few more glances at him.
This made her feel a little regretful. She had always wanted to introduce a husband to Konjac, but because of her status, she was too embarrassed to ask. Now it seemed that there was no chance.
After waiting for Cui Qingyi to come out, Fan Hui handed her the letter in her sleeve. "Qi Moxuan said it was a very important letter and asked me to deliver it to you quickly. If you want to reply, I will wait here."
Cui Qingyi recognized Zhou Yanxiu's handwriting in the letter at a glance. She touched her nose and suddenly remembered that she seemed to have forgotten about Zhou Yanxiu's previous letter.
In fact, she saw the coroner in the county government office and thought that since there were professionals there, she, a half-baked person who could only copy the classics, would be of no use.
So he ignored Zhou Yanxiu's letter with a clear conscience.
At this moment, holding the envelope, Cui Qingyi secretly made up her mind that after the second volume of Xiyuan Ji Lu was finished, she would change the subject matter of her storybook.
"No rush. It's not very convenient for girls to study. If you want a reply, I'll try to send it over."
After getting the confirmation, Fan Hui took Qi Yuan, who was clinging to Konjac, back home. Before leaving, Qi Yuan discussed with Konjac whether she could bring the puppies over next time, as she wanted to see them.
Zhou Yanxiu's letter was concise and to the point, telling about his plan to recompile the Dajin Coroner's Notes based on Mr. Nancheng's two books.
He admired Mr. Nancheng's talent and said that if Mr. Nancheng was willing to come out of retirement, he would recommend him to the current emperor for an official position."
Cui Qingyi put the letter away carefully, feeling a little emotional but not too much. Zhou Yanxiu's promise was a great thing for anyone in this dynasty, but Cui Qingyi was clear-headed.
She knew her own worth very well. She could remember the forensic knowledge but that didn't mean she could use it. Not to mention facing other coroners in Dajin, even facing the young coroner Cui Qingyi she had met in Dongping County Court, she was certain that as long as they stood on the autopsy table at the same time, she would be exposed in a moment.
