When Aunt Zhang left, Mrs. Song gave her a small basket of fruits she had bought from her own family.
"Mrs. Zhao, you are so polite."
"You're welcome, take care!"
"Hey! If you have time, you and your daughter should come to my house more often."
After the person left, Song wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead and asked, "Why did she come here to show her courtesy on purpose?"
Their family has no power or influence in the provincial capital now.
"I don't know. She must have her own motives. Mother, be careful when you talk to her next time. She looked around our house a lot after she came in. She even glanced at the servants. She seemed uneasy."
"I don't like this person very much either. I don't get along as well as the other neighbors."
"Yeah, she looked at Lihua several times just now. I always feel that she has her eyes on our Yinzi."
Song's face was a little ugly. No one should even think about coveting her daughter. "Just don't come here anymore. If you ask about our family, who would come to our house and ask what you do and how you make money?"
"Well, you really don't have a sense of propriety. Mother, the academy will be closed in three days, and the teacher will come to our house. Please tell Dad."
"Your father only has eyes for birds now, and has forgotten his wife and children."
"What are you talking about me?" After seeing everyone leave, Zhao Dashu and Old Man Qian came out casually.
"Your husband will be home in a few days, Dad. Shouldn't you let him see the beautiful bird you brought back?"
"Master is coming? Great! Let's not go out that day and make some extra dishes that he likes. It's been a while since I drank with him."
"He's only taking a day off. Don't force him to drink too much. He still has school to go to."
Tsk, boring!
What he is most dissatisfied with at home now is that no one drinks with him. The old man doesn't dare to force them to drink, and the other two have to study and cannot drink too much.
"It's time for Lai Fu to improve his drinking capacity. In the future, when discussing business, he will have to attend social events and drink together."
"Dashu is right," the old man agreed. His grandson could be a bit pedantic, a teetotaler who kept saying it was a hindrance. "He should practice his alcohol tolerance. Where's he? Is he still wandering around out there?"
Zhao Dashu straightened up, "He's not just wandering around, he's inspecting a place."
"Okay, why aren't you back at this hour? Don't you want to study anymore?"
"Maybe you saw something interesting."
"From now on, don't let him follow us when we go out to play. Look at Xiao Lei, he has to make good use of his time to study hard."
You have to compare the two to find the best one. His grandson's enthusiasm for learning and his diligence are incomparable to Xiao Leijian's. He heard yesterday that he fell asleep while memorizing, which made him very angry.
When will he be able to pass the exam and become a scholar? He didn't dare to think about anything else. This was not something he could study.
"Just tell him next time."
night.
Zhang lay on the kang and glanced at the man beside her. "I went to visit the Zhao family today."
"Oh, what's up? I'm telling you, you have to get along well with their family. They're very rich."
He had seen Xiao Lei go to school several times with a servant, sometimes even two, and they always went out in horse-drawn carriages. He was extremely envious of them.
He was a low-ranking official with little benefits, and his family was very poor. For him, riding in a horse-drawn carriage was out of the question, even going out in an ox-drawn cart was out of the question.
