Through the rebirth of the husband and wife Qingxi
Chapter 45 Manuscripts
The manuscript that Yu Huating originally said would be finished soon, was delivered to Ren Sangyu half a month later.Ren Sangyu looked at the beginning, and couldn't help pinching his brows.
"What's the matter?" Yu Qingxi was reading the account, and when she finished writing, she saw Ren Sangyu's actions like this, so she went to rub his brain for him.
Ren Sangyu remained silent, holding the paper for a while before handing it to Yu Qingxi to read.
Yu Qingxi only read two lines before pressing the button: "Written by Yu Huating?"
"En." Ren Sangyu nodded.He could still remember that they mentioned one of the masters of the Yu family, Mr. Fang once praised Huating for saying "this son is smart".Could it be that all the wives hired by the Yu family are so blind?
"Then you can return this obscenity to the Yu family, and you don't have to return it to Huating, but it depends on who accepts it." Yu Qingxi said, "Anyway, the master of the Yu family is coming back soon, so I'm not afraid of them making a fuss about it."
"That's what I mean too." Ren Sangyu said.If Yu Huating is really talented, he would be willing to recommend a good husband for him.Looking at the manuscript now, I am afraid it is very difficult!
Yu Qingxi closed the account book and said, "I'll go to Xiangguyuan to have a look. I heard that the pen will be closed in just a few days. Before leaving the capital, I will return these account books to my mother."
"Well, I'll go with you." Ren Sangyu also got up, "It's still early, why don't you go to the tailor shop to pick up the robes."
"Alright." Yu Qingxi nodded.
Ren Sangyu handed the manuscript to Chunhua and asked him to go to Yu's house, and then led Yu Qingxi to Xianggu Garden.
As soon as she entered the door, Chen Shiwei smiled and said, "You guys came just in time, we are baking some snacks, and we are planning to send them over."
Yu Qingxi yelled one by one, and walked in after letting go of the cold.
"What food?" Ren Sangyu sniffed, "Roasted chestnuts?"
"Uncle's nose is really sharp!" Chen Shiwei let the two of them in.
"I looked outside and the sky was very gloomy. Was it cold along the way?" Ren Fan asked.
"It's okay." Ren Sangyu stroked his sleeve, revealing his buried hand.
"Here, after peeling it, taste it, is it fragrant?" Ren Fan gave each of them a small handful.
"The chestnuts look small, but they taste delicious." Ren Sangyu tasted two.
"Yeah." Yu Qingxi also nodded, he also stopped after eating two or three, and asked Chunyu to bring the account book, "Mother, this is the account book of the Zhuangzi shop in my family's business. I have read it all, and there are some unclear things in it. I also marked it with paper. Take a look."
"Oh?" Ren Fan wiped his hands when he heard the words, and took the ledger and paper to refer to.A look, sure enough to see the problem.However, she also understood why Yu Qingxi didn't point out the problem directly, but just said "unclear".She smiled and said: "Mother knows about these problems, Qingxi is very careful."
"It should be." Yu Qingxi said, "In the next year, Qingxi will go to Gantang Town with Sang Yu to take office, and this account book should be returned to mother."
"Okay, taking good care of Sangyu is the business." Ren Fan nodded, looked at Chen Shiwei sitting next to him and He Jingyan who was pregnant, and said, "Then leave this account book with me."
"Thank you mother." Yu Qingxi said.
Ren Fan smiled, and suddenly remembered something and said: "During lunch today, I heard from your father that the caravan of Master Yu's family came to Beijing today."
Yu Qingxi remembered the manuscript that Chunhua had just sent away, and looked at Ren Sangyu, and couldn't help but smile.
"What's so funny?" Ren Fanshi, Shiwei and Jingyan were puzzled.
"It's nothing," Ren Sangyu said, "Mom, we have to go out and go to the market to pick up two newly made padded robes."
"Go." Ren Fan didn't insist on knowing their little secret, so he waved his hands, "Go early and come back early, it will be very cold when the sun goes down."
"Yes, mother!" Ren Sangyu took Yu Qingxi out, the two still holding warm chestnuts in their hands.
At the clothing store, Ren Sangyu took the cloak handed over by the shopkeeper and looked inside and out. Only then did Yu Qingxi realize that besides the cotton robe, he also ordered a fox fur cloak.The cotton robe was ordered by the two of them after looking at the pattern together, and the cloak must have been ordered when he was looking at the gloves.
Ren Sangyu put the cloak on Yu Qingxi's body, and checked that it fit well.
"Bought it for me?" Yu Qingxi knew that the silver-white fox fur was very expensive.
"Well," Ren Sangyu smiled satisfied, "I knew Qingxi would look good in this."
Yu Qingxi looked at the shopkeeper: "What about you?"
"I don't need it." Ren Sangyu asked Chunze to pay the bill, Chunyu took the cotton robe, and he led Yu Qingxi out.
Yu Qingxi guessed that Ren Sangyu didn't have much income, so he was reluctant to buy two, but now it's hard to go back and buy another one, so he had to make up for it tomorrow.
Back at the mansion, Chunhua had already returned from the Yu family, and brought back a carriage gift.
"Third young master, third young lady, this is a gift from the master of the Yu family. The leather from the cold north and the seafood from the south are all rare things." Chunhua said, handing the gift list to Yu Qingxi.
"Did you say something when you took the manuscript?" Ren Sangyu didn't look at the gift, nor did he look at the gift list.
"The manuscript was brought over, and it happened to be picked up by the master of the Yu family. The wife of the Yu family and young master Yu Huating were both there at the time. After hearing the story, and looking at the manuscript, someone directly tied up young master Yu Huating... and beat him up." Chunhua road.
Ren Sangyu pursed her lips.
"The master of the Yu family asked the slave to bring a message to the third young master," Chunhua said, "It is said that the third young master did the right thing, but such obscene lyrics and songs can't be used to embarrass people."
"Yeah." Ren Sangyu shook his head when he thought of the obscene words that seemed to be addressed to brothel prostitutes.
"The master of the Yu family said that he was grateful to the third young master for letting him understand the laziness of his wife. From now on, he will know how to choose a wife when he finds a wife." Chunhua said, "The gift in the carriage is specially left when I go to the business. The third young master has something to eat, and when I have a chance, I will ask the third young master to teach the second young master of the Yu family a lot, so that I can be as humble and pragmatic as the third young master."
Ren Sangyu nodded, then looked at Yu Qingxi again: "Qingxi, what's wrong?"
"With this gift, Yu Feng will definitely vomit blood." Yu Qingxi handed the gift list to Ren Sangyu.
Ren Sangyu took a look and said with a smile: "Yue Weng is so polite, why don't I find a stricter wife for him?"
"Is it appropriate?" Yu Qingxi asked, if he didn't find an opportunity to return the gift, he might be more troublesome in the future.The Yu family went into business, and after Ren Sangyu served as a salt official, although they were far away from the capital, it did not mean that the Yu family could not develop there.
"I'll go out tomorrow for my husband." Ren Sangyu said.He remembered that Linyuan Academy retired a master Xiao Fuzi, who was quite strict in teaching and had some talents and knowledge, but he was not suitable for Linyuan Academy.Most of the people in Linyuan Academy are descendants of the royal family and aristocratic families, but Mr. Xiao has a straightforward personality and speaks directly, which is really not suitable for that atmosphere.After coming out of Linyuan Academy, he bumped into walls everywhere, but his temper softened a lot.However, Ren Sangyu suddenly remembered that what happened in the previous life may not be the same in this life.He said: "I don't know if I can find that person, I'll talk about it after I look."
"Okay." Yu Qingxi nodded.
Ren Sangyu thought, if he can't find that person, he can get Yu Huating an entry pass to Songhuang Academy.Songhuang Academy, which is as famous as Linyuan Academy, is mostly of nobles, and its management is stricter than Linyuan Academy, which is quite suitable for Yu Huating.Yu Huating was spoiled before, so if he chooses an academy, he should not choose one with strict controls.
"In that case, let's send some of these furs to Xianggu Garden." Yu Qingxi pointed to Yishui'er furs on the gift list, ten rabbit furs, ten lambskins, five gray fox furs, five black fox furs, Five pieces of white fox skins and ten pieces of sable skins.Yu Qingxi thought that these skins could not be bought in Beijing for 3000 taels, even if they were bought from Beidi, it would cost hundreds of taels.
"Then you keep some you like, and send the rest." Ren Sangyu said.
"Yes." Yu Qingxi nodded, "Leave two pieces of black fox fur to make a big cloak for Sang Yu... No, I'd better take them all and make them together with the whole family, so I can save some money."
Ren Sangyu looked at him.
"For example, for this black fox fur, one and a half sheets are enough to make a big cloak. If we take two sheets, the remaining half sheet can't do much." Yu Qingxi said.
"Okay, listen to Qingxi." Ren Sangyu said.
"Then the things in this carriage will not be unloaded in Haohanyuan, and they will be taken to Xiangguyuan, and we will drink sheep soup in Xiangguyuan tonight." Yu Qingxi said, "The apples and oranges are a basket One basket, and the dried shark fin and scallop razor clams are in several boxes, we two don’t know how long we will eat them, so let’s share them with everyone!”
Having said that, the two of them took each other to Xianggu Garden.
"This..." Ren Fan said after looking at the gift list, "This is specially given to you by the Yue family, so you don't need to put it in the public house."
"How did the two of us use it up so much? My mother looks at the distribution." Ren Sangyu said.
"Yes, mother." Yu Qingxi nodded, "It's very cold this winter, so I'll make some clothes for everyone with these skins, and I can make a small piece together with the rest of the spare parts, and there are hand pads and so on. They can make some. Decheng Dejuan and Ye Fan can go running and jumping outside wearing leather jackets, so they don’t have to complain about being bored in the house all day long.”
"It's hard for you to remember those little monkeys." Ren Fan said with a smile, and the two elder sister-in-laws also thanked them.
It is also impossible for Ren Fan to divide all the things out, keeping most of them and sending them back to Haohan Court.That night, they all stayed in Xianggu Garden to boil mutton.
When Ren Zhichu arrived at Xianggu Garden, he was silent for a while when he heard about the gift list.Ren Sangyu knew what he was thinking, and said, "Father, Sangyu knows how to measure."
"It's good if you know." Ren Zhichu sat down and said, "Our Ren family is valued by the emperor, that is, we are honest and self-sufficient." From the food and clothing expenses of Ren's mansion, it can be seen that Ren Zhichu, the household secretary It was very hard.It stands to reason that, not to mention merchants like the Yu family, even low-level officials, it is reasonable to send some gifts to the family of the Minister of the Ministry of Households at the end of the year.Let’s put it mildly, it contains rare special products from the north and south, but let’s put it more seriously, there is nothing in it that is gold or silver, it is really not worth it for him to be so cautious.But it was Ren Zhichu's temper that caught Gu Liangyu's eyes.
"The children in our family know it well." Ren Fan said, taking Sang Yu's two elder brothers as an example, they have the same temperament as Ren Zhichu.Although Xingyu sometimes jokes and plays lip service, he doesn't change anything in principle.She said again: "Besides, Qingxi is also a good boy, and will take care of some Sangyu." Take this gift as an example, and you can see Yu Qingxi's temperament when you bring it to Xiangguyuan without moving at all.
"Yes, don't worry, father and mother." Ren Sangyu glanced at Yu Qingxi and smiled faintly.
The next day, Ren Sangyu went out to North Street to look for Mrs. Xiao Ran and Xiao.Yu Qingxi didn't follow, because there were so many skins yesterday, Ren Fan directly invited a group of tailors to come to the mansion to make clothes, and Yu Qingxi stayed in Xiangguyuan.
Mrs. Xiao Ran and Mrs. Xiao are living a miserable life now. The aristocrats of the aristocratic family know that he used to teach in Linyuan Academy, but they don't know why he was pushed out, so they will not ask him to be their master.But the poor family and the family of merchants have no way to touch Linyuan Academy, so naturally they don't know his character, and they won't invite him.Although he is a nobleman, he is also a downtrodden family member, and his family does not have any property, otherwise he would not live in Beijie.As a result, he wrote and sold paintings at home every day, living very poorly.
When Ren Sangyu came to find him, Xiao Ran was returning home not long ago.Early in the morning, he took the painting to the bookstore to sell, but the artistic conception of his painting is like his heart, too lonely, it is really not easy to sell, and he has been rejected several times in succession.If things go on like this, even a meal will become a problem.His wife and children looked at him helplessly, but he could only shake his head and sigh.
"Master Xiao is this?" Ren Sangyu knocked on the door knocker.
"Yes." Mrs. Xiao opened the door, she was dressed in a slightly whitish green magnolia cotton padded coat, quite calm and restrained.
"Who is it?" Xiao Ran was unhappy at first, and there was a bit of impatience in his words.
Ren Sangyu handed the prepared gift to Mrs. Xiao, and bowed her hands in front of Xiao Ran: "Junior Ren Sangyu, I made a special trip to visit Master Xiao."
"Ren Sangyu?" Xiao Ran frowned, and then asked, "Ren Changyu and Ren Xingyu are you..."
"The two elder brothers are direct relatives of the younger generation," Ren Sangyu said, "The younger generation has been weak since childhood, and has never had the opportunity to listen to Master Xiao's teachings. However, the two elder brothers have mentioned Master Xiao and respect him very much." None of them have stayed in Linyuan Academy.The Ren family is an aristocratic family, Ren Changyu and Ren Xingyu both came out of Linyuan Academy.Ren Sangyu couldn't use what he had seen and heard in his previous life as a reason to come to the door, so he could only use his two elder brothers to knock on the door.During dinner last night, he also inquired about this master with his two elder brothers, so he can use it now.The two elder brothers had a good impression of Mr. Xiao, that's why he said that.
When Xiao Ran heard this, his face finally relaxed.Ren Changyu and Ren Xingyu were humble, but he was somewhat impressed.He let Ren Sangyu into the house and watched tea with his wife.While making tea, the two chatted from college teaching to people's livelihood, enjoying themselves.
The tea was poured over, and Xiao Rancai took a few sips before he said, "It is said that Third Young Master Ren has just been appointed as a salt official, how come he came to look for me?"
"To tell you the truth," Ren Sangyu was naturally more direct to Xiao Ran who was quick to talk, "I have something to ask you, junior."
"What can I ask the old man for?" Xiao Ran smiled.
"The younger generation came to ask for a husband for Yue Weng." Ren Sangyu said, "My brother-in-law is fifteen years old, a merchant's family, and the mistress is partial, so the invited wife will let him go and dare not be demanding. Yue Weng only hopes to find someone Strict and resolute teacher, taught the boy to be humble and courteous, so that he will not be lazy and lazy in the future, if he can get the honor in the exam, it will be a great kindness."
"It's... not impossible to find a good teacher..." Xiao Ran hesitated.It's not because of the family of merchants, but because merchants pay a lot of money, and some of them are good wives, so they can't help but have some doubts.
"There are many good masters, but if you want a strict and upright master, it must be Master Xiao." Ren Sangyu said.
Xiao Ran remained silent.
"It's not just this son, there are a lot of children in the family. Weng Yue only hopes to find a reliable master, so that all the descendants can be educated, so that brothers and friends can be respectful and the family can live in harmony." Ren Sangyu said.
"The old man thinks about it." Xiao Ran said.
"Okay!" Ren Sangyu observed his words and expressions, and knew that Xiao Ran was tempted.Judging from the family, it is already very tight and needs a job to support the family.Although the family of merchants is not highly regarded, but the head of the family is interested in the teaching of the masters, and he happens to be a nobleman, so he can suppress the temper of the merchants, and his teaching is quite strict, which is in the heart of the master.
Ren Sangyu said goodbye to Xiao Ran and left.
Mrs. Xiao looked at the gift from Ren Sangyu with Master Xiao, and Master Xiao nodded silently.There is a set of the Four Treasures of the Study in the brocade box, which is quite elegant.The two porcelain jars contain Wutong black tea, which is suitable for drinking in this season. There is a bundle of raw meat wrapped in oiled paper, and there are two top-quality brocade.
"This son has an exquisite mind, he is indeed expected to be an official." Xiao Ran stroked his beard and smiled.
"What's the matter?" Yu Qingxi was reading the account, and when she finished writing, she saw Ren Sangyu's actions like this, so she went to rub his brain for him.
Ren Sangyu remained silent, holding the paper for a while before handing it to Yu Qingxi to read.
Yu Qingxi only read two lines before pressing the button: "Written by Yu Huating?"
"En." Ren Sangyu nodded.He could still remember that they mentioned one of the masters of the Yu family, Mr. Fang once praised Huating for saying "this son is smart".Could it be that all the wives hired by the Yu family are so blind?
"Then you can return this obscenity to the Yu family, and you don't have to return it to Huating, but it depends on who accepts it." Yu Qingxi said, "Anyway, the master of the Yu family is coming back soon, so I'm not afraid of them making a fuss about it."
"That's what I mean too." Ren Sangyu said.If Yu Huating is really talented, he would be willing to recommend a good husband for him.Looking at the manuscript now, I am afraid it is very difficult!
Yu Qingxi closed the account book and said, "I'll go to Xiangguyuan to have a look. I heard that the pen will be closed in just a few days. Before leaving the capital, I will return these account books to my mother."
"Well, I'll go with you." Ren Sangyu also got up, "It's still early, why don't you go to the tailor shop to pick up the robes."
"Alright." Yu Qingxi nodded.
Ren Sangyu handed the manuscript to Chunhua and asked him to go to Yu's house, and then led Yu Qingxi to Xianggu Garden.
As soon as she entered the door, Chen Shiwei smiled and said, "You guys came just in time, we are baking some snacks, and we are planning to send them over."
Yu Qingxi yelled one by one, and walked in after letting go of the cold.
"What food?" Ren Sangyu sniffed, "Roasted chestnuts?"
"Uncle's nose is really sharp!" Chen Shiwei let the two of them in.
"I looked outside and the sky was very gloomy. Was it cold along the way?" Ren Fan asked.
"It's okay." Ren Sangyu stroked his sleeve, revealing his buried hand.
"Here, after peeling it, taste it, is it fragrant?" Ren Fan gave each of them a small handful.
"The chestnuts look small, but they taste delicious." Ren Sangyu tasted two.
"Yeah." Yu Qingxi also nodded, he also stopped after eating two or three, and asked Chunyu to bring the account book, "Mother, this is the account book of the Zhuangzi shop in my family's business. I have read it all, and there are some unclear things in it. I also marked it with paper. Take a look."
"Oh?" Ren Fan wiped his hands when he heard the words, and took the ledger and paper to refer to.A look, sure enough to see the problem.However, she also understood why Yu Qingxi didn't point out the problem directly, but just said "unclear".She smiled and said: "Mother knows about these problems, Qingxi is very careful."
"It should be." Yu Qingxi said, "In the next year, Qingxi will go to Gantang Town with Sang Yu to take office, and this account book should be returned to mother."
"Okay, taking good care of Sangyu is the business." Ren Fan nodded, looked at Chen Shiwei sitting next to him and He Jingyan who was pregnant, and said, "Then leave this account book with me."
"Thank you mother." Yu Qingxi said.
Ren Fan smiled, and suddenly remembered something and said: "During lunch today, I heard from your father that the caravan of Master Yu's family came to Beijing today."
Yu Qingxi remembered the manuscript that Chunhua had just sent away, and looked at Ren Sangyu, and couldn't help but smile.

"With this gift, Yu Feng will definitely vomit blood." Yu Qingxi handed the gift list to Ren Sangyu.
Ren Sangyu took a look and said with a smile: "Yue Weng is so polite, why don't I find a stricter wife for him?"
"Is it appropriate?"

Yu Qingxi said, "The apples and oranges are a basket One basket, and the dried shark fin and scallop razor clams are in several boxes, we two don’t know how long we will eat them, so let’s share them with everyone!”
Having said that, the two of them took each other to Xianggu Garden.
"This..." Ren Fan said after looking at the gift list, "This is specially given to you by the Yue family, so you don't need to put it in the public house."
"How did the two of us use it up so much? My mother looks at the distribution." Ren Sangyu said.
"Yes, mother." Yu Qingxi nodded, "It's very cold this winter, so I'll make some clothes for everyone with these skins, and I can make a small piece together with the rest of the spare parts, and there are hand pads and so on. They can make some. Decheng Dejuan and Ye Fan can go running and jumping outside wearing leather jackets, so they don’t have to complain about being bored in the house all day long.”
"It's hard for you to remember those little monkeys." Ren Fan said with a smile, and the two elder sister-in-laws also thanked them.
It is also impossible for Ren Fan to divide all the things out, keeping most of them and sending them back to Haohan Court.That night, they all stayed in Xianggu Garden to boil mutton.
When Ren Zhichu arrived at Xianggu Garden, he was silent for a while when he heard about the gift list.Ren Sangyu knew what he was thinking, and said, "Father, Sangyu knows how to measure."
"It's good if you know." Ren Zhichu sat down and said, "Our Ren family is valued by the emperor, that is, we are honest and self-sufficient." From the food and clothing expenses of Ren's mansion, it can be seen that Ren Zhichu, the household secretary It was very hard.It stands to reason that, not to mention merchants like the Yu family, even low-level officials, it is reasonable to send some gifts to the family of the Minister of the Ministry of Households at the end of the year.Let’s put it mildly, it contains rare special products from the north and south, but let’s put it more seriously, there is nothing in it that is gold or silver, it is really not worth it for him to be so cautious.But it was Ren Zhichu's temper that caught Gu Liangyu's eyes.

Take this gift as an example, and you can see Yu Qingxi's temperament when you bring it to Xiangguyuan without moving at all.
"Yes, don't worry, father and mother." Ren Sangyu glanced at Yu Qingxi and smiled faintly.
The next day, Ren Sangyu went out to North Street to look for Mrs. Xiao Ran and Xiao.Yu Qingxi didn't follow, because there were so many skins yesterday, Ren Fan directly invited a group of tailors to come to the mansion to make clothes, and Yu Qingxi stayed in Xiangguyuan.
Mrs. Xiao Ran and Mrs. Xiao are living a miserable life now.

None of them have stayed in Linyuan Academy.The Ren family is an aristocratic family, Ren Changyu and Ren Xingyu both came out of Linyuan Academy.Ren Sangyu couldn't use what he had seen and heard in his previous life as a reason to come to the door, so he could only use his two elder brothers to knock on the door.During dinner last night, he also inquired about this master with his two elder brothers, so he can use it now.The two elder brothers had a good impression of Mr. Xiao, that's why he said that.
When Xiao Ran heard this, his face finally relaxed.Ren Changyu and Ren Xingyu were humble, but he was somewhat impressed.He let Ren Sangyu into the house and watched tea with his wife.While making tea, the two chatted from college teaching to people's livelihood, enjoying themselves.
The tea was poured over, and Xiao Rancai took a few sips before he said, "It is said that Third Young Master Ren has just been appointed as a salt official, how come he came to look for me?"
"To tell you the truth," Ren Sangyu was naturally more direct to Xiao Ran who was quick to talk, "I have something to ask you, junior."
"What can I ask the old man for?" Xiao Ran smiled.
"The younger generation came to ask for a husband for Yue Weng." Ren Sangyu said, "My brother-in-law is fifteen years old, a merchant's family, and the mistress is partial, so the invited wife will let him go and dare not be demanding. Yue Weng only hopes to find someone Strict and resolute teacher, taught the boy to be humble and courteous, so that he will not be lazy and lazy in the future, if he can get the honor in the exam, it will be a great kindness."
"It's... not impossible to find a good teacher..." Xiao Ran hesitated.It's not because of the family of merchants, but because merchants pay a lot of money, and some of them are good wives, so they can't help but have some doubts.
"There are many good masters, but if you want a strict and upright master, it must be Master Xiao." Ren Sangyu said.
Xiao Ran remained silent.
"It's not just this son, there are a lot of children in the family. Weng Yue only hopes to find a reliable master, so that all the descendants can be educated, so that brothers and friends can be respectful and the family can live in harmony." Ren Sangyu said.
"The old man thinks about it." Xiao Ran said.
"Okay!" Ren Sangyu observed his words and expressions, and knew that Xiao Ran was tempted.Judging from the family, it is already very tight and needs a job to support the family.Although the family of merchants is not highly regarded, but the head of the family is interested in the teaching of the masters, and he happens to be a nobleman, so he can suppress the temper of the merchants, and his teaching is quite strict, which is in the heart of the master.
Ren Sangyu said goodbye to Xiao Ran and left.
Mrs. Xiao looked at the gift from Ren Sangyu with Master Xiao, and Master Xiao nodded silently.There is a set of the Four Treasures of the Study in the brocade box, which is quite elegant.The two porcelain jars contain Wutong black tea, which is suitable for drinking in this season. There is a bundle of raw meat wrapped in oiled paper, and there are two top-quality brocade.
"This son has an exquisite mind, he is indeed expected to be an official." Xiao Ran stroked his beard and smiled.
