How dare someone like Liu Yanqing be called well-behaved? Lin Xiaowan thought that if someone like Liu Yanqing was called well-behaved, what about other people?
"What are you looking at me for?" Liu Yanqing asked, "Do you think what I said is right?"
"You're the one." Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes. "Stop talking nonsense. You don't do anything at all, just messing around with these things."
"What's wrong? Why can't we talk about these things? If we use them well, we can save a lot of money and gain a lot." Liu Yanqing said, "It's just a pity. Our generation is fine, but when the next generation comes, one will be in the northwest and the other in the capital. The relationship may not be as good, and we won't be able to get as many things."
"What are you thinking?" Lin Xiaowan said. "Don't ever say that to your children again. Don't let them just think about getting benefits from others. They should stay down to earth."
"If you have connections, don't you use them? Are you stupid?" Liu Yanqing said. Anyone who doesn't use those connections is stupid. Anyway, he has to use them, but he just won't get involved. When it's time to invite them to the wedding, he will invite them. Don't forget to invite them.
If they didn't invite them, others would think there was a conflict between them.
"It's up to you." Lin Xiaowan decided that she must never let Liu Yanqing take care of the child in the future.
"If my son gets married in the future, I'll marry someone like you." Liu Yanqing didn't think Lin Xiaowan was that good, but she knew how to live. Even if she took his private money, she still lived a good life and could even eat his money.
If you have no ability and no money to support yourself, then life is too sad.
Their son must be good-looking, he cannot be ugly.
If my son is not good-looking, how can he find a good wife in the future?
Liu Yanqing began to worry about his son. He had to teach his son to take better care of himself in the future. However, their son might have to do more work. If he didn't do it, he would have to let his son do it.
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so let your son see it for himself.
Liu Yanqing thought about it and decided that he didn't need to worry so much. He could just let the child worry on his own. It would be a shame for so many people to be sad together.
"Someone like me?" Lin Xiaowan raised an eyebrow. "You want your son to be a gigolo."
"Don't say that." Liu Yanqing said, "At least my face is still presentable."
Lin Xiaowan was too lazy to say anything. Her husband was really shameless. No one else said that, only Liu Yanqing said that.
The people from the third house arrived at Shiyuan Village, and Liu Yanyuan came to find Liu Yanqing.
"Let me help you bring the gifts?" Liu Yanqing raised his eyebrows. "Isn't that a bad idea?"
"What's wrong with that?" Liu Yanyuan didn't think so. "The main thing is..."
"The main thing is that Big Brother and the others didn't invite you, so it's not convenient for you to go directly. So you want me to bring gifts, right?" Liu Yanqing thought to himself that he was not stupid. "Big Brother and the others have long said that gifts are not necessary and told the village chief and others not to send any. So since you didn't receive an invitation, there is no need to send any."
Liu Yanqing just wanted to give some gifts casually, after all, he was hoping that the first wife would return the gift in the future.
"They sent some, not everyone did not send any." Liu Yanyuan said.
"No, you guys deliver it yourselves." Liu Yanqing refused. "What if I help you deliver it and my brothers don't want it? What if I get kicked out?"
"Impossible, you've already been there, and you have an invitation." Liu Yanyuan thought that it was Liu Yanqing who refused to help them deliver it, simply because Liu Yanqing didn't want to offend the first wife.
The people from the fourth room were like this. If there was any trouble, they would run away. If there was something good, they might come up and share some of it.
Liu Yanyuan hated people like the Fourth House, but he could do nothing about it.
"So what if you have an invitation? If they want to kick you out, you will still be kicked out." Liu Yanqing said, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
Of course, Liu Yanyuan didn't treat Liu Yanqing as a fool, and Liu Yanqing wasn't stupid enough to listen to him. If that were the case, he wouldn't have to tell Liu Yanqing at all.
But Liu Yanqing is just like this and he is so reckless and troublesome.
"Why do you think that just because you care about face, I don't care about face?" Liu Yanqing just thought that these people were too good at thinking. People like them didn't even know what a brain was. Or he thought that only he had no brain.
"Forget it, I won't tell you anymore." Liu Yanyuan was thinking about people like Liu Yanqing. It would be useless to say more, and it would only burden himself.
Liu Yanyuan simply left. Fortunately, he didn't bring the things with him and just left them in the town.
Liu Yanqing looked at Liu Yan's figure walking away and said "Pah".
"What the hell." Liu Yanqing thought that he was not their tool, and it was impossible for him to do so many things for them.
One by one, they want him to do something, but don't give him any benefits, how can he do it? Even if they give him benefits, he has to think about whether he will do those things.
"What are you talking about?" Lin Xiaowan walked out and heard Liu Yanqing say that.
"I didn't say anything, I'm just an ungrateful person." Liu Yanqing said, "Those people only know how to criticize me. None of them are good people. They want me to help them deliver things to the main house. They think I'm just like them. They are really bad people."
"You two talked about splitting up the family together at the beginning," Lin Xiaowan said.
"How can that be the same?" Liu Yanqing thought that these were two different things. "After the family split up, I just behaved well and didn't always think about the things from the first wife's side. Others are different. They only think about the good things from the first wife's side."
"Don't worry about them." Lin Xiaowan said, "Sometimes we can do it together, and sometimes we can't."
There is no such good thing in the world. They gave up the big house in the first place, so there is no need to worry about other things now.
Lin Xiaowan knew that her family could not ask the eldest wife for things, as the eldest wife had done her best for them.
They helped the eldest wife look after the house in Shiyuan Village, and they couldn't expect the eldest wife to give them the house in the future. The eldest wife's people didn't have to give them the house, even if that house was nothing to the eldest wife.
"Talk less." Lin Xiaowan said.
"Hasn't what I said been enough? It wasn't me who ran up to them and said it, it was them who ran up to me." Liu Yanqing said, "If they hadn't been so troublesome, maybe it would have been better."
"Go take a look at the fields, don't always stand here." Lin Xiaowan said.
"Isn't this a happy event? Just relax when there is a happy event." Liu Yanqing explained.
Lin Xiaowan was speechless when she heard this explanation. What did the eldest wife’s wedding have to do with Liu Yanqing?
"Don't roll your eyes. It's only right to make your brother happy." Liu Yanqing said.
Then, Liu Yanqing was dragged to the field by Lin Xiaowan, and Lin Xiaowan still asked him to do some work.
In the town, after Liu Yanyuan came back, he told Liu Yanbo who came to the town.
"Fourth brother doesn't plan to help us deliver gifts." Liu Yanyuan said, "We asked him to deliver, but he refused."
"Forget it then." Liu Yanbo had known this would happen, but he was unwilling to do so, so he let Liu Yanyuan give it a try.
"Just let someone else take it over." Liu Yanyuan said, "Then I'll watch from afar."
"That's fine." Liu Yanbo believed that Liu Yanyuan was much more reliable than Liu Yanqing, and that a brother like him was the one he could trust the most. Liu Yanqing, on the other hand, was a man who wouldn't act without seeing the rabbit, so a brother like him wasn't a good brother.
The main reason is that Liu Yanyuan will listen to Liu Yanbo and think about things from the perspective of the second wife. Liu Yanbo thinks the third wife is better, but in fact, it is a relationship of mutual benefit, and they both understand each other.
"Please keep an eye on it. I have to go back. Your sister-in-law is still busy in the shop." Liu Yanbo said, "I've taken several days off recently."
Liu Yanbo didn't like the teachers at the academy, mainly because when he asked them to write letters of recommendation, they always refused. In the end, he spent money and got a letter of recommendation from a teacher who had never taught him.
After he got the letter of recommendation, it would be easier for him to study in the academy in the provincial capital and gain the respect of the teacher.
I don't know if it's just his psychology, but he always feels that he's particularly capable and thinks some of the Master's words are flawed. He thinks his own views are the most unique, his opinions are correct, and the Master's opinions are wrong.
Liu Yanbo had believed this way back in the capital. This was related to Concubine Qing's teachings. Liu Yanbo believed that the Master deliberately didn't teach them what was right, and that his understanding was correct.
Concubine Qing had no idea that Liu Yanbo was thinking this way. At most, she thought her son was very smart. Her son could not become the crown prince simply because he was a bastard.
After Liu Yanbo arrived in the northwest, he still thought so. He felt that these people were not good people at all, and they might have deliberately harmed him because of the people from the first house.
He didn't think about the fact that there were so many people studying with him, and it was impossible for all teachers to think the same way.
Why did the Master say that the best he could do was to pass the exam and become a scholar? That was because the Master saw his incompetence. A person who is blindly confident thinks he will get a perfect score on the exam, but in reality, he may not even get 60 points.
It's not like the teachers haven't met people like Liu Yanbo before, and they don't say much. If they say too much, it will only make Liu Yanbo disgusted.
When Liu Yanbo returned to the county town, he went to the shop and first drank a cup of tea.
"It was a wasted trip." Liu Yanbo said, "My third brother went to Shiyuan Village and didn't get anything done. My fourth brother is so stupid and just doesn't understand. He just doesn't want to help deliver the things to the eldest house."
"You knew this would be the result, but you still looked for him." Su Qiuya said.
"How do we know if we don't try?" Liu Yanbo said, "If he doesn't help deliver it, then we don't need him. We can let someone else go. Third brother said he will keep an eye on it."
"Among your brothers, he is the only one who is reliable." Su Qiuya doesn't like Liu Yanbo's other brothers, but she thinks Liu Yanyuan is okay.
The second branch helped the third branch and let the people in the third branch learn the skills. The people in the third branch were willing to learn and listen to the second branch.
If it were the fourth room, there would be no way that the fourth room would listen to the third room.
"From now on, you'll know what kind of people to interact with." Su Qiuya said, "You should have less contact with people like those from the Fourth House. They probably just want to be in the first house and get more things from it."
"Yes." Liu Yanbo nodded. He also thought so.
"As for Fourth Brother... he just wants the eldest wife to be better off," Liu Yanbo said. "He'll be leaving for the provincial capital in a few days, so let's not dwell on this."
Whenever Liu Yanbo thought about the affairs of the fourth and first wives, he felt a headache.
"Okay, don't worry about these things. Just focus on the exam and wait for you to pass the exam." Su Qiuya said with a smile. She was still waiting to return to Beijing with Liu Yanbo.
When Concubine Qing went outside, she heard people say that the eldest son of the Marquis of Jingning was getting married. What did the eldest son of the Marquis of Jingning getting married have to do with those people on the street, who were all talking about it.
"Isn't the shop open?" When Aunt Qing came back, she didn't see Su Qiuya kneading dough, so she wondered where Su Qiuya had gone.
"Open." Su Qiuya hurried out of the yard. She heard Qing Yi Niang's voice, "My husband is back. I'll say a few words to him."
"You two are together every day, how can you have so much to talk about?" Aunt Qing said, "Open a shop."
The scholars from the academy come to Su Qiuya's shop more often, but some of them don't come here regardless of whether there are cheap meals here or not.
Some scholars also knew that Liu Yanbo was planning to go to the provincial capital, so Liu Yanbo even found several scholars, hoping that they would write letters of recommendation for him. However, several scholars were unwilling to help Liu Yanbo write letters of recommendation, so Liu Yanbo had to spend money to find scholars to write letters of recommendation for him.
They also heard that the teachers were not very optimistic about Liu Yanbo, and they thought that Liu Yanbo might not be able to pass the exam this time. However, since Liu Yanbo was sure that he would pass before he even took the exam, the teachers did not say much.
In the Liu family's main house, He Xiyuan did some work, but it wasn't anything important. He thought Liu Yanjing didn't want him to be in front of Sister Lian, so Liu Yanjing treated him like this.
By the time He Xiyuan finished his work, it was already dark. He wanted to talk to Sister Lian, but it was too late.
"Eat early and rest early." Liu Yanjing said to He Xiyuan, "Don't stay in the yard. Those people are very busy. You'll be in their way if you stand there."
"Why didn't you say it just now?" He Xiyuan thought that Liu Yanjing didn't say it when he was working, but said it when he was resting.
"There are too many people." Liu Yanjing didn't want others to see He Xiyuan going to Liu Yulian's place more often.
After all, Liu Yulian is just an unmarried girl. Even if He Xiyuan is Liu Yulian's fiancé, Liu Yanjing doesn't want He Xiyuan to always go over to her.
"I know." He Xiyuan understood what Liu Yanjing was worried about. He was just worried that Liu Yulian's reputation would be ruined by him.
He Xiyuan thought to himself that he could never do that. He absolutely could not ruin Liu Yulian's reputation. He must do more to protect Sister Lian.
The day before Princess Zhaoyang and Liu Yanjing got married, many wives of officials from the northwest went to Princess Zhaoyang's residence.
Those people went to support Princess Zhaoyang, and the girl from the Cen family also went.
Miss Cen herself didn't say anything, but the maid beside her said a few words. The maid said that Princess Rongning might not be an easy person to get along with, but fortunately Princess Zhaoyang had a high status, so Princess Zhaoyang didn't have to be afraid of Princess Rongning.
Princess Zhaoyang had lived in the palace for so many years, how could she not know what these people were thinking? The maid was acting according to Miss Cen's instructions. Miss Cen wanted to deal with Liu Yulian.
Princess Zhaoyang didn't say anything else, and directly ordered Miss Cen and her mother to be driven out. She didn't want these things to bother her, as she had been with Liu Yulian before.
Liu Yulian was not at all what Miss Cen's maid said. Miss Cen had only spent a few times with Liu Yulian, and that was what the people around Miss Cen said.
Princess Zhaoyang thought that Miss Cen was not a good person at all, and that such a person was a person with a dark heart.
Mrs. Cen had never thought that Princess Zhaoyang would actually have them driven out, which made her feel very ashamed. The other noble ladies were not driven out, but she and her daughter were.
Princess Zhaoyang didn't say anything else. The nanny beside Princess Zhaoyang was a very discerning person.
The nanny just stood there and said a few words.
"The princess is getting married, not you. Where do you get so much to say?"
"A servant girl dares to criticize the princess? Why, did your master tell you to do that?"
"It's true. A girl hasn't even gotten married yet, and the people around her are so gossipy. This is not a good job for a master."
…
The nanny deliberately stood there and said a few words, "Don't the Cen family like to deal with others and show how virtuous they are? Then let everyone see what kind of girl the Cen family is."
Mrs. Cen had no choice but to return with her daughter in disgrace. After they returned, they happened to receive a letter from the capital.
When Madam Cen saw the letter from the capital, she learned that the Third Prince's concubine had been sent to the manor by the Third Prince. Not only that, but Concubine Cen Xian was demoted and became Concubine Cen.
Madam Cen's face turned pale. She was still hoping that her family would allow her husband to return to the capital as soon as possible. She had always been very proud, thinking that there was a Cen Xianfei in the palace, and their Cen family also had a concubine for the third prince.
Who could have thought that these two people would become like that in an instant.
"Mother." Miss Cen wondered why her mother's face turned so ugly.
Mrs. Cen did not think that the events in the northwest had affected the capital. The letter also said that the Cen family had encountered these things because the assassination of Prince Su by someone was discovered.
The Cen family in the capital wrote to Madam Cen and others, hoping that they would establish good relations with the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion.
Madam Cen's face was pale, and she also wanted to maintain a good relationship with the Jingning Marquisate. You know, they had offended the Jingning Marquisate before, and the people from the Jingning Marquisate did not go directly to the Cen family.
However, there are many rumors about the Cen family outside, such as that the daughters of the Cen family like to take concubines for their husbands, and that men who like concubines should marry daughters of the Cen family.
In short, there is a lot of bad news about the daughter of the Cen family out there.
People in the northwest don't like the Cen family very much either. Mrs. Cen originally thought that the Jingning Marquis Mansion was nothing special and could not compare to the Cen family.
Who could have imagined that one day their family would ask them to establish good relations with the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion.
"Please sit down first." Miss Cen hurriedly helped Mrs. Cen and asked her to sit down.
"I'm afraid..." Mrs. Cen opened her mouth but said nothing.
When Miss Cen saw this, she felt very anxious. She wondered why her mother didn't continue talking.
In the capital, Mr. Cen hopes that his daughter-in-law who lives far away in the northwest can have a good relationship with the Jingning Marquis Mansion. It was not this son who raided the Jingning Marquis Mansion, but other sons.
"It's up to them." Old Master Cen hoped that his son and daughter-in-law in the Northwest could do a good job, at least protect some people, so that the Cen family would have a chance to make a comeback in the future.
