After watching the children, Xu Qing went to see Yu Xiaoqian again. It happened that Li Qinshu was at home without class today.
This time, Xu Qing sent two old ducks and a big bag of dry goods, and the pregnant woman's old duck soup was the most nourishing.
In the past, Yu Xiaoqian would not accept it, but now the relationship between the two families is getting closer and closer. Li Qinshu is also Li Tinghui's young master. He has been trying his best to cultivate the little emperor, and it is natural to receive some gifts.
Xu Qing asked Li Qinshu, "when will the academy be on holiday?"
Li Qinshu: "the end of November."
Xu Qing: "there is still more than a month left. Will Huier still have classes after the holiday?"
Li Qinshu nodded: "yes, of course, but the teaching time is changed to once a week. I usually give him some homework."
Xu Qing: "don't go to class on such a cold day. It's not safe to run back and forth. What should I do if it's frozen? My Qingting square will close at the end of November, and I'll open it again when the weather gets warmer next year. In two to three months, I'm going to invite a gentleman to teach at my home."
"Those children in my family, 11, 13 and 15 years old, haven't been to school much. They are usually busy with the business in the store and have no time. They can learn something during the holidays. I'm not demanding either. At least I can read clearly and learn something useful. "
Generally speaking, it is literacy.
Xu Qing asked: "is there a suitable teacher in the academy to introduce one? In fact, I really want you to move to my house, but if you think it's not suitable, I'm not reluctant to do so. "
After all, people who celebrate Chinese New Year are not as comfortable as their own homes.
Li Qinshu and Yu Xiaoqian looked at each other. After thinking about it for a while, they said, "as long as you don't mind our trouble, I'm willing to move in."
Xu Qing was overjoyed: "really?! Excellent! So you and hui'er don't have to run back and forth! No trouble, no trouble. When I get back, I'll ask someone to clean up a yard. I don't know anything else. There are still many rooms, including kitchens. "
Li Qinshu personally gave Chunhua and Tan Yang a lesson. Xu Qingfang had a hundred hearts.
Li Qin wrote: "I will disturb you then, but I agree to move there, mainly for Huier's convenience of living together."
Xu Qing smile, euphemistic way: "you don't give him too much pressure, sometimes appropriate relaxation is good for physical and mental health."
Li Qinshu: "don't worry, I know it in my heart."
Xu Qing left happily after making an appointment with his tutor in winter.
After returning home, she immediately chose a small courtyard for Li Qinshu and Yu Xiaoqian, which is not far from ping'an'an's house. There is a master bedroom and a secondary bedroom in the courtyard, as well as a small living room and kitchen.
In addition to Li Qinshu and Yu Xiaoqian's husband and wife, there is a mother-in-law and a servant girl who serve Yu Xiaoqian. These two people take care of Yu Xiaoqian's daily life.
The diet of pregnant women is still different from that of ordinary people. There are many taboos. At that time, Yu Xiaoqian has a mother-in-law and a maid to cook for her.
So here Xu Qing just needs to prepare some food, water and firewood regularly.
On the side near the big kitchen, there is a servant room, which is a big shop. There are big Kang which can sleep seven or eight people in the room.
This room has been empty since it was built. Xu Qing is going to transform it into a classroom.
In winter, people will freeze to death if there is no heated kang. The heated kang is big enough to put five small desks for Li Qin to teach children. If he sits on it to read and practice calligraphy, he won't feel cold.
"This room is out of space. Put up a few bookshelves and get some four treasures of the study. Then they can use the books they want." Xu Qing told Li Zhudao.
Li Zhu nodded.
Xu Qing: "find someone to decorate the house and create a reading atmosphere. Oh, by the way, the quilts and mattresses to be used at that time should also be ready. Buy more and put them in the warehouse for standby. Don't worry. There's still a month to go. You can do it slowly."
Li Zhu: "I know."
Xu Qing came out of the room and saw the colorful chrysanthemums in the yard. He took a deep breath with satisfaction.
In the afternoon, Xu Qing received a letter sent by Fu Xitang, which wrote the detailed information of the yupinzhai pastry chef Xu Qing wanted to know.
The other is just one of the many pastry masters in yupinzhai. He is not a very important role in the Sheng family, nor is he a direct disciple. He is just a little troublesome. He is the illegitimate daughter of the previous Sheng family leader.
Molly, her mother's status is extremely humble, just a prostitute, not even qualified to be married into the door.
However, although the mother and daughter are humble, the former Sheng family leader likes this daughter very much, because her gift in making cakes is much better than that of other children. Therefore, even though Molly's identity is low, she can still become a pastry maker in yupinzhai, and few people dare to despise and bully her face to face.
Her half brothers and sisters naturally don't like her. Who wants to be oppressed by an illegitimate son all day.
The Sheng family is passed down by craft, not by blood. Although Molly's craft is good, she is not the best one, so her existence is neither eye-catching nor ignored.It's OK to survive safely, but it's almost impossible to get ahead.
After reading the materials, Xu Qing immediately became interested in this woman.
He is smart because he can keep himself in the fierce competition of Sheng family and grasp a degree.
But how to dig each other up?
Qingtingfang holiday these two days, can let yupinzhai relaxed.
On the Lantern Festival yesterday, they not only sold the same cakes as qingtingfang, but also sold a lot of the overstocked cakes in the shop.
Although the crisis has been alleviated temporarily, it is not a long-term solution after all.
Sheng Wanqing has gone to the capital. Molly here is also forbidden to make the cakes in qingtingfang. She is only allowed to continue to study the formula of other cakes in qingtingfang.
After yupinzhai sold the same cakes as before, many customers complained and asked why they didn't sell yesterday's cakes.
Several masters in yupinzhai were frustrated. They were not even in the mood of making cakes. They were even gnashing their teeth at qingtingfang.
"I've never heard of it before. The boss is just a little woman in her early twenties. Didn't he go to check it out? Why didn't he find out the details of the other party?" Teacher Fu complained to the little apprentice in front of him.
"Master, when we went to check, we were found and warned. It's true! There must be a big man behind the boss of qingtingfang. In terms of power, I'm afraid we won't lose... "
"After all, Zhuozhou City is no better than the capital city. People here are the eldest. We've found all the relationships we can find, but it's no use at all."
