Liu Sun also remembered that he left early today and forgot to pick up his brother-in-law from the school.

But she would never admit this, she picked up Liu Qi's favorite words and said, "Yes, mother, fourth brother is someone who wants to take the exam. Fourth brother is a person who wants to take the exam, your wife is sick, you can't take him with you, right?

Liu Qi remembered what Liu Dao Xiang and her sister had said. What did it mean to have more fish and more oil, what did it mean to have rice grains that were too lazy to spring, and what kind of a lazy and delicious woman she was, keeping rice bran, raising a few chickens and eggs in the rented yard to make up for the family?

Liu Dao Xiang felt very surprised, but this time, Liu Qi didn't fly into a rage, and after thinking about it again, Liu Wanggui was her hope, as long as she passed the examination, she would be the title's Madam.

After dinner, Liu Dafu called Liu Rengui and Liu Sanguan to the East Room, saying that he had something to say. Liu Qi and Liu Xiaolan also went in, so there was no need for the rest of the wives and children.

"Sis, do you know what I want to say?" Liu Dao Xiang thought about it for a long time, but still could not wrap his head around it.

Liu Qiuxiang put the sleeping Liu Chunxiang on the brick bed, then took off her clothes and covered her with a warm blanket. Only then did she answer: "I don't know, but when this lord took father to hang the mountain this morning, I saw that he seemed a little unhappy. Maybe it's because Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle haven't come back yet."

Liu Dao Xiang immediately retorted: "Of course not, when second uncle comes back, I am happy, and not angry. When I heard that second uncle's mother was sick, I even said that second uncle did the right thing. I should go see her mother first."

Zhang Guihua was just about to push open the door after washing up. When she heard their conversation, she couldn't help but say, "What are you so anxious for? You'll know when your father comes back!"

Therefore, she took a small Wooden Pellet and sat on the edge of the brick bed. Zhang Guihua was burning the fire on the brick bed and was holding a branch of the hemp, she wanted to split the hemp into three parts and then use her hands to knead them into sturdy ropes. These hemp stalks were the ingredients that had not been sold in the past.

On the other hand, the East Room that Liu Sanguan was on had her lights on. Liu Qi was sitting on the hot brick bed, while Liu Xiaolan snuggled up to her and acted coquettishly in her arms.

Liu Rengui reminded Liu Sanguan several times to ask his parents if there was anything wrong. On the other hand, Liu Sanguan had his head lowered, staring at the ground obediently.

Finally, seeing that it was getting late, his eyelids could no longer hold up and he started to beat each other up. Only then did he open his mouth and ask, "Father, why did you call the second sons here? My son is going back to town in the morning. "

When Mrs Liu Qi heard this, she hurriedly said, "Take the children back first thing in the morning. Mrs Sun will stay." She had already made up her mind to break Liu Sun's' right '.

"Mother, I can't do that. The children are still in their prime right now. I want to take a look at the stores for myself. How can I have the mind to take care of the children?" Liu Rengui rejected him without thinking. He then looked at Liu Dafu: "Father, Bao Er just entered the academy, Mister has already said that this child is too naughty, and has said that you need to worry about him."

Liu Dafu silently smoked a mouthful of smoke, the sparks in the smoke pot's head became even more red as he smoked.

Seeing him remain silent, Liu Qi continued, "Aren't there Childrens and Zhu'er?"

Liu Rengui called out to his father once more. Very clearly, he knew what kind of character his mother and father was.

Liu Dafu inhaled another breath of smoke and said: "Alright, benevolence wants to work for my boss, my children are managed by others, furthermore, I only have Zhang family."

Liu Rengui did not want Sun Shi to stay: "Yes, Qiu Xiang is not young anymore, she can help out my family now, and besides, mother, I can't leave my side, the three children and me, the four of us are all under the Sun family's care."

Just as Liu Qi wanted to say something, Liu Dafu knocked the cigarette butt on the edge of the brick bed and threw out the leftover cigarette smoke. He said, "Alright, if Sun family isn't going, who will take care of Ren Gui? It's getting late, let's get back to business. "

Liu Qi thought for a moment. It was more important, so she could only put aside the matter of grinding Mrs. Sun. Then, she said, "You should know that Supervisor Zhou came over today."

When she mentioned this matter, she remembered that her brother was the general director of Huang Mansion. Liu Qi's back was straight, and his tone became more confident.

Seeing his two sons nod, he then continued, "The first thing is that your uncle has given you a grandson. When the sky is bright, I'll take Lan Er on a trip to the Western Region to visit the city. In the end, Huang Mansion is still one of the top families in the Western Region.

Hearing that, a hint of happiness flashed across Liu Rengui's eyes, so it could be said that his own mother and father was searching for a path for his own children, and immediately replied happily: "Looks like mother has a long term vision, and it's also because mother has been successful in her entire life, that such a good thing would happen."

Liu Qi enjoyed his words very much, and his face was much better than before. He then said, "Of course, it's said that it's easy to enjoy the shade under the tree. Grandsons love studying like this, even if I have to sacrifice my old bones, I still want to find a good future for them."

If Liu Dao Xiang was here, she would definitely look down on her.

"Mother, mister has praised the Childrens for her academic progress. Even Bao`er, after being enlightened, had memorized the [Three Character Classic]. It's a pity that I'm too late today, if not, I would have told that stinky brat to memorize it for father and mother."

At this moment, Liu Rengui was regretting his decision to not ask until now. If he had asked when he entered the house earlier, maybe he could have asked his fat boy to play tricks in front of his parents, and coax the old lady into being happy. Perhaps he would have gotten some good stuff out of her.

Liu Qi was very happy when she heard this. She loved listening to this the most, and seemed to have heard that the children were good at school. It was as if they were a big step closer to the title in long robes.

"Our Bao`er is a good girl. When he opens his eyes, he looks like an intelligent girl. This matter shall be left to mother. As long as he studies properly, his uncle will definitely help him."

As he said that, the smile he had on his face changed. His eyebrows knitted together, and a look of worry appeared on his old face.

Seeing this, Liu Rengui's heart skipped a beat!

Liu Sanguan felt that Madam Liu must have been waiting for them to speak, so he cast a glance at the people in the room before lowering his eyes to look at the ground. Hmm, his second daughter had said before, it's better to say more, less, and not to say too much.

Sure enough, this was the first time he didn't get scolded after entering the house for so long.

Liu Qi waited for a long time, but since the two of them did not ask, she could only kick Liu Dafu who was napping at the side.

He opened his eyes and saw a few people looking at him, and also saw Lady Liu Qi staring at him. Only then did he come to his senses, and said, "Ah, number two, number three, eldest brother wrote home today. It was your mother who read the letter, saying that he doesn't want Sheng'er to study anymore."

The Sheng'er he spoke of was his eldest son, Liu Xigui, and he also had a second daughter, Liu Qiaoer. She was a year younger than Liu Zhuer, and was ten years old.

"That's right, boss, it's not easy either." Liu Qi also chimed in.

"Mother, is Big Brother really not letting Sheng'er study?" Liu Rengui didn't wait for Liu Qi to speak, and said, "However, Sheng'er seems to be thirteen this year, it's fine for him to come out to do things, don't tell me she's learning to do accounts with Big Bro?"

Liu Qi's chest tightened, and then he couldn't say that Liu Xigui didn't want Liu Zhisheng to be Mr. Account room. He could only say, "Sigh, Sheng'er is a scholar, everyone is forced into a corner."

"Mom, it's getting harder and harder to make money these days. My son is a shopkeeper after all. As long as the boss doesn't fall, we can still barely live a day." Liu Rengui immediately became alert and started to complain to her.

No matter what Liu Qi said, Liu Rengui refused to answer.

"Of course, your brother is worried about the money. Otherwise, he wouldn't think about not studying in the Sheng'er." After saying that, she looked at her two sons and continued, "You guys also know that your eldest son's wife had no choice but to enter that house to work because she wanted to help Sheng'er study. Although she could earn some money, she wouldn't be able to give the family two extra pairs of shoes and socks, and so on.

It turned out that Liu Xigui had always been crying about poverty in his letters, and that for the sake of Liu Zhisheng's future, his entire family was working hard. After Liu Qiaoer entered the workshop, he would be able to support himself, act according to the rules, and be a good family in the future.

Hearing that, how could Liu Rengui not know the meaning behind his big brother's words, he immediately said: "As a servant in the residence, I have two taels of money for a month, adding on to that with elder sister and Qiao'er, although I cannot help much, I can handle it. Furthermore, didn't I get food, cured meat, chicken and ducks from the residence every year?"

Mrs Liu Qi was a meticulous woman, and wholeheartedly wanted her sons and grandchildren to leap up the ranks so that she could become an official's wife. She had a free servant named Zhang Guihua, who grew more than an acre of vegetables a year, fed a few chickens and ducks, and raised two or three big fat pigs.
