Tingzhou is the source of the Qiu family, and there are still some extremely biased branches there. Of course, they are all so poor that they want to sell their children and daughters. It is said that they are a bit poor and crazy, even their wives are sold. A few months ago, Tingzhou had just experienced a severe flood, and the farmland was destroyed. Now they rely on the court to provide relief. The food payment is not enough. But this winter is very cold this year. I don’t know how many people will starve to death and freeze to death?

Qiu Yiran thought of buying people in Tingzhou, because it was cheap and easy to control, and because it was also because there were beautiful women since ancient times. In addition to getting a wife for Lu Da, he also wanted to buy more beautiful girls to prepare this time and give them as gifts to others in the future. The Qiu family has rarely added people in recent years, and most of them have children. Giving children to a family naturally has the benefits of having children, but sometimes it is not easy to use.

The Marquis of Qingyuan nodded in praise. Qiu Yiran could always think about such things in front of him and thought more carefully. Unfortunately, he did not have the ability to revive the Marquis of Qingyuan. If this continues, it would be a mess to hand it over to him in the future.

If they had known that they would not have made a fuss, the Marquis of Qingyuan sighed. After the farce with Li, they not only watched a large amount of money that had already entered the Marquis's mansion fly away, losing both fame and fortune, but also broke up with Tie Muyuan. Although they knew that Prince Jing was covering Yin Zhiruo's siblings, they could not get along. Now, in order to plot against Yin Zhiruo, Qiu Yiran almost made a big joke and even made a big joke. He didn't say that he would pay a sum of money. If he didn't handle it well, he would offend the Duke of Jingguo's mansion.

What is this? Why did he listen to Ji's idea and believe the so-called "unresolved" of Ji and Ye Fang'er. The more he thought about it, he became more angry. He stared at Ji's angrily and snorted: "You have to hurry up on the New Year gifts. Many families have started to send them out, especially in the capital, which has always been much earlier than in places like us." Of course, he knew that the 3,000 taels of money he misappropriated for the New Year gifts for Lu Da, but in the final analysis, wasn't the embarrassment of the Qingyuan Hou's mansion that was now caused by her? It's okay to take out all the dowry and subsidize it.

The shock and fear that the prince had brought about by Lu Da’s background was not eliminated. He was suddenly stunned by the glare and scolded by the Hou Qingyuan. He was really stunned for a while before he realized. He was naturally very aggrieved and was about to do it, but he didn’t expect that Hou Qingyuan, who had a deep understanding of her temperament, threw him over again: “If you hadn’t made any fools with your cousin Ye Fanger, Yi’er’s road would be much easier now. Not only would he have money to manage, but he might also be able to climb Prince Jing. Look at it now, if you don’t talk about anything else, you’re afraid that even a better marriage would be difficult to settle.” He really didn’t expect that there were so many generals in the army who dared to stand up, and even Prince Jing would not be jealous of taking care of Yin Zhiruo and his brothers without any hesitation. It seems that the good relationship between Yin Zhao and Prince Qianxin is really not a false news.

Ji was choking and couldn't refute. No matter what, if she hadn't believed Ye Fang'er too much, Yiran and Yin Zhiruo wouldn't have become like this now, and their Qiu family wouldn't have been so difficult now. Speaking of which, she really felt ashamed of her son.

It’s a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world. Now I have to find a way to prepare some for Yi'er, but her dowry may not be enough for Yin Zhiruo’s. Suddenly, she thought of a money-saving trick: “Yes, I heard Ruqiu bring other embroidery girls to rush to the capital to rush to the New Year gifts. We have also sent some leather goods to the warehouse. Then, let Ruqiu make some day and night, will her needlework be very good? By the way, embroider some screens, and the table screens are not good. Even if you can’t get the New Year gift, it’s good to keep them for use. Last time, when we made furniture, there were still a lot of scraps left, all of them were good wood.”

Also, with such good embroidery skills, you can bring two young maids with good females to take on the embroidery work of Ruyi Embroidery House, right? Ji secretly decided that no matter how to deal with Ruqiu in the future, he would first earn back the 5,000 taels of silver she spent because of her. Anyway, Liu knew very well that their Qingyuan Hou Mansion lacked silver and would not make a fuss.

Qiu Yiran agreed very much: "Okay, Ruqiu has been in the capital and should have some understanding of fashionable things in the capital." The close maid of a wealthy family is very familiar with fashionable things, especially fabrics, decoration styles, patterns, etc. related to women.

"Since that's the case," said Qing Yuanhou, "Let her live in Haitangyuan, take two little maids to do needlework, and find a slutty woman to help her. There is nothing special about it and you are not allowed to leave the yard." Haitangyuan is the most remote courtyard in the inner courtyard, with only five or six houses, which are quite far from the other courtyards. Just in time, Ruqiu lives there to do embroidery and baby care, so as not to be embarrassed if any customers in the mansion are embarrassed.

"Yeah," Ji's agreement was extremely acknowledged, "You don't see such a fox, Yi'er, even if she has a body, she can't serve you now. She doesn't have to complain, right?"

In front of his parents, Qiu Yiran was still embarrassed to talk about Ruqiu's pregnancy. He nodded randomly and then picked up the contract letter that Ji brought back from Meizhuang on the table. Ji was sulking just now, so he took out the contract and saw it. The father and son came over, so they didn't have time to put it away.

The more I looked at it, the more I felt that it was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. After a while, I could only sigh: "Yin Mingze was only thirteen years old, which is really true." From the rigorous wording of this contract, we can see that his calmness, prudence, sophistication and sleekness are not like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy at all.

Ji clasped his lips: "What can you do if you are amazing? No matter how talented he is, he can only stay in the village for the rest of his life, and he cannot take the academic exam to enter the officialdom." It is impossible to feel sad. His two sons are both very smart. Unfortunately, the Qiu family seems to have no inheritance of studying, and he feels sleepy as soon as he picks up the books. Qiu Yiran is fine, barely passing the scholar exam, but Qiu Xiran is still sixteen and has not even passed the exam for a child, and he doesn't even want to go to the school.

The Queen of Qingyuan also disliked reading books, and she disliked the most of those sour scholars, and had no feelings about them. How many generations of the Qiu family were inconvenient to enter the court to become officials, and now they are not allowed to be the emperor's eyes. Otherwise, there would be channels for the children of nobles to enter the court to become officials, so where do they need to take the scientific examination?

The father and son of Qingyuan Hou were about to leave, but Qiu Yanran, who had an angry look on his face, suddenly rushed in and threw the bead curtain on the door, making a crackling sound.
