, if that were the case, there would be no need to ask people to look for teaching jobs!

Sun Shandan also turned his eyes to look at Chu Yiqing, and spread his hands helplessly, his meaning was obvious.

Chu Yiqing laughed coldly and said: "Scholars, farmers, and merchants, these merchants are indeed after the scholars, but they can't be said to be in a lowly profession, right?"

At this moment, Ding Han quickly came out of the house and said, "I wonder where Madam's mansion is. Is it far away from here?"

Mother Ding was a little displeased and said, "If you don't go in to study, what are you going to do out there? It's fine for my mother to do this kind of thing. You are such a talented scholar, how can I come out to meet you in person?"

Mai Xiang couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward and said: "We choose a wife at a high price of ten taels of silver a year. Naturally, we have to meet the wife to check it out. Could it be that we have entrusted our children to him without even meeting the wife?"

Master? This master wants to study and educate people. If he always pretends to be noble, I'm afraid he won't be able to teach good students, right?"

Mai Xiang's expression was sarcastic, and every word she spoke pierced Ding Han's heart. He was slightly ashamed, but he did not dare to speak out to blame Ding's mother, and just remained silent.

When Mother Ding heard that there were ten taels of silver a year, she immediately regretted that she had been too arrogant. Just when she was about to say something soft, she saw Chu Yiqing stood up and said: "Old Madam, I mean it from the bottom of my heart."

We look down on our merchant family, that's all. It's not that we don't have such a good teacher. We just listened to the introduction from acquaintances and thought we knew the basics, so we can rest assured. Now people like us who have a low-level career will not tarnish the teacher, so we say goodbye!"

Chu Yiqing said and left directly with the people.

"Madam, madam..." Ding Han called twice. Seeing that Chu Yiqing and others were determined to leave, he could only shake his head and sigh.

On the way back, Sun Shandan couldn't help but said angrily: "Miss Chu, you have seen how pedantic Mother Ding is. It is obvious that her family is already poor, and she longs for this job in her heart, but she still despises the merchants from her heart, and treats you, Miss Chu,

If this is the case, how can we look down on our small farmers? So it is impossible for Cherry and Ding Xiucai to do it!"

Mai Xiang also nodded and said: "Mother Ding is indeed too arrogant. She thought that her son was the only one who could study. But how did I know that Ding Sheng wanted to find a wife to make a living?"

Chu Yiqing said calmly: "I asked Ying Qian to inquire about it. Who knows that Ding's mother is not a good person? She may be holding on to her scholarly family background and looking down on the neighbors around her. Those people openly and secretly laughed at his family, but revealed that

A lot of news has come! Ding Sheng now lacks the money to go to the capital to take the exam, and a few days ago his mother even planned to sell the last room in the west wing! "

"You've already come to this point, and you're still so ignorant and contemptuous of others. You deserve to starve to death!" Mai Xiang said coldly.

Chu Yiqing added: "This test is just to test out Ding's mother and Ding Sheng's cowardice, but if Ding Sheng is sincere to Tao Qing..."

Mai Xiang's eyes darkened and she said: "I'm afraid even if she has sincerity, she will be restrained by her official position and Ding's mother's discipline! A person like Ding Sheng, who was raised by a widowed mother and who is so submissive to his mother, will not be able to be Miss Cherry in the future.

I'm afraid I won't get any benefits if I enter his house! Besides, Sister Cherry's identity has been underestimated from the beginning!"

Sun Shandan nodded and said: "Even Mai Xiang has seen this clearly. If Yingtao still doesn't understand, then I won't recognize her as my sister!"

Chu Yiqing glanced at Mai Xiang, turned his eyes and said, "We still need to persuade her more about this matter!"

Sun Shandan responded quickly.

Yingtao heard that Chu Yiqing and Sun Shandan were going to Ding Mansion with Mai Xiang, and had been waiting at Chu Mansion for a long time. Now seeing the three people coming back with unkind expressions, she stepped forward uneasily and asked: "Miss, eldest sister, how are you doing?"

Already?"

Sun Shandan sat down, took a sip of tea and took a breath. He first told what happened today, and then said: "That mother Ding thinks she is from a scholarly family and looks down on others, even if she comes to Chu Mansion to be a teacher.

You have to put on airs, let alone let Ding Sheng marry a peasant girl! Cherry, my parents actually asked someone to go to Ding's house to ask, but the matchmaker only told you your conditions, and before he said who you were, Ding's mother was

He scolded him! He hadn't seen Ding Sheng that day, so you could say that Ding Sheng didn't know anything about it. But today, Ding Sheng was present. He clearly knew about his mother's problem, but he didn't dare to say a word. He was really stupid and filial.

Is this man worth relying on for your whole life?"

Mai Xiang also said: "Sister Yingying, think about it, if Scholar Ding really wanted to marry you, he would not shirk your marriage again and again! Now Scholar Ding is just a scholar, but his mother is so arrogant. In the future, Scholar Ding will be

If you are a high official, where will he put you, Miss Cherry?"

Cherry bit her lip, lowered her head and said nothing, but her expression was still stubborn and she seemed unconvinced.

After all, this was Sun Shandan's family matter. Chu Yiqing couldn't say more, so he signaled Sun Shandan to persuade Yingying, and said to Mai Xiang: "Maixiang, come here, I have something to tell you!"

Mai Xiang nodded and followed Chu Yiqing to leave.

After Chu Yiqing and Mai Xiang left, Yingying bit her lip, raised her eyes and looked at Sun Shandan and said, "Sister, didn't you ask me to accept me as your adopted sister?"

Sun Shandan's face darkened and he whispered: "How dare you mention this matter? Miss Chu is good to me and your eldest brother-in-law, but we at least understand our identities. We are obviously servants, do we still want to act as masters?

?Don't think that I don't understand your thoughts. Isn't it because Ding Sheng is a scholar and can become a high official in the future? But you have to think about your own identity. With our status, others look at us.

You can't afford it! You are dreaming of being your own master and marrying into the Ding family, so stop dreaming!"

Cherry said unconvinced: "It's just a small effort. If the young lady is willing to accept me as her adopted sister, Ding Sheng will have someone to rely on in his career in the future. How can I suffer in the Ding family? Sister, just a word from the young lady can change it."

My destiny, sister, for the sake of my sister, you also ask for my help, Miss!"

"You are becoming more and more wishful thinking. Come back with me today and don't stay in this town!" Sun Shandan stepped forward and pulled Yingying hard. "Do you think you have the same status as Mai Xiang? You don't.

Such a blessing!”

Cherry bit her lip and shook her head vigorously and said: "I'm not willing to give in. It's my sister who refuses to help me. You are my biological sister. If I live a good life in the future, you will also be able to take advantage of it, right? If my sister can't ask for it, let her in-laws do it.

Please, didn’t my in-laws say that I regard my sister as my daughter-in-law?”

Sun Shandan's eyes darkened and he said: "You really don't know that your surname is Sun. There is no end to your wishful thinking! Okay, don't say anything, just go back with me now!"

"I won't go back, I won't go back. I can obviously get rid of that farm family and become a superior person, but why are you not willing to help me? Sister, please help me!" Cherry shouted while holding Sun Shandan's hand. Sun Shandan was afraid that she would be alarmed.

Chu Yiqing quickly covered her mouth, let Ergazi come in, and dragged Yingtao into the carriage. He didn't bother to say goodbye in person, but asked Yingqian to tell Yingqian, and quickly pulled Yingtao away.

In the room, Chu Yiqing asked Mai Xiang: "Maixiang, do you really think Yingtao should give up Ding Sheng?"

Mai Xiang nodded and said: "No matter how much you like that person in your heart, if that person refuses to take responsibility, such a man is unreliable! Ding Sheng is that kind of man!"

Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "What about Liu Yi? What kind of person is Liu Yi?"

Mai Xiang was startled, then understood, and said with a wry smile: "I was wondering why my aunt asked Sister-in-law Shandan to pick me up from home. I can't get involved in Sister Cherry's matter. It turns out that my aunt wanted to take advantage of it."

I’m asking for my thoughts on this matter!”

"I saw you talking about cherries a few years ago, and I seemed to have some feelings. In addition, you are not young now, and it is time to talk about marriage. Your mother and I were afraid that you would still miss Liu Yi, so we also used the opportunity to talk about marriage.

Let you see this matter clearly!" Chu Yiqing said in a low voice.

Mai Xiang smiled and said: "Auntie, I know you and mother are doing this for my own good. Don't worry. Liu Yi is now the prince of Rao Kingdom. I'm just a little peasant girl. How can I reach such a high level?"

Chu Yiqing said: "Maixiang, in fact, if you still want to marry Liu Yi, I still have some tricks, but if you marry him and go to Rao country, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so I can't be by your side to take care of you. Besides, Liu Yi might still be the emperor in the future. Let’s not talk about whether Liu Gan wants to see you or not. Even if Liu Yi wholeheartedly protects you, the intrigues in the palace are not something that a little girl like you can handle! I am afraid of this. This kind of life, why is it you?"

"Auntie, I know. In fact, I have thought about it very clearly in the past two years. Maybe what I am obsessed with Liu Yi is his kindness in saving me, not love. Auntie, don't worry, I have let go of him in my heart!" Mai Xiang smiled slowly.

Chu Yiqing looked at Mai Xiang, knowing that she was just saying this, but she might be thinking so in her heart. It's just that Mai Xiang is sensible, and maybe she has understood the gap between her and Liu Yi early on, and has begun to accept it.

"Miss, Sister Shandan has returned with cherries!" Yingqian said respectfully from outside.

Chu Yiqing was startled and asked: "Why did you leave just like that?"

Yingqian entered the room, hesitant, as if she didn't know whether to say something or not.

"You say so!" Chu Yiqing encouraged.

"I just heard that Yingtao told Sister Shandan that she wanted Sister Shandan to ask Miss to recognize Yingtao as her adopted sister. Yingtao is determined to marry that Ding Sheng, thinking about living the life of an official wife in the future!" Yingqian said. I couldn't help but feel a bit sarcastic.

Chu Yiqing was startled. She usually only thinks she has a big heart, but she didn't know that she had such thoughts. In fact, Ding Sheng is now in a desperate situation. Just like what she just said to Mai Xiang, she can use some tricks to make him happy. Ding's mother gave in and married Yingtao, but after getting married, could Ding Sheng and Ding's mother really treat Yingtao well? If they have the ability to fight for it, that's all. Can they really keep the happiness they get by relying on others?

Mai Xiang also widened her eyes and said in surprise: "It turns out that Sister Yingying has such thoughts. She is really confused. My aunt can help her for a while, how can I help her for a lifetime? In the future, when Ding Xiucai becomes an official, After leaving us, Mother Ding will definitely dislike Sister Yingying, and Mother Ding is a powerful person. If any high official takes a fancy to Ding Xiucai and asks him to be his son-in-law, Mother Ding might immediately let Ding Xiucai divorce Yingying. Sister! Ding Xiucai dares to say no to Mother Ding for being so vindictive? Even if she doesn't stop and becomes an equal wife or something, looking at Mother Ding's face every day, her life will not be easy!"

Ying Qian looked at Mai Xiang in surprise, as if she didn't expect that Mai Xiang could see so clearly and think so clearly at such a young age.

Chu Yiqing frowned, Mai Xiang was indeed very calm, and her calmness made her a little worried. I hope these words were not used by her to comfort her and Jin Yu!

After talking to Mai Xiang, Chu Yiqing asked Shi Shi to go to Shangjia Village to deliver the message, and also gave the news to the matchmakers in the town and village, and began to propose marriage to Mai Xiang.

For several days, Concubine Qing kept urging her that she liked peace and quiet and did not come out to have dinner together. Chu Yiqing thought that Li Huang's words were a bit harsh that day. When having dinner that day, Chu Yiqing and Li Huang took her Let's go together with Abao to invite Concubine Qing to have a meal in the hall.

Concubine Qing sat on the bed with her head propped up. When she saw the three people coming in, she said, "I want to be quiet these days. You just have to eat for yourself!"

Li Huang whispered: "My concubine, it was my fault that day. I contradicted my concubine with my words. Please don't get angry! Today I made the most delicious chicken wings made by my concubine. I'd better go out and try it."

Bar!"

Abao also stepped forward and took Concubine Qing's hand and shook it: "Grandma, I really want to eat chicken wings with my parents. How happy it is for the family to eat together! Grandma, don't hide in the room alone!"

Concubine Qing said expressionlessly: "It turns out that A Bao is also tired of eating with grandma. If you don't like eating with grandma, an old woman, then go out to eat and ignore grandma!"

As Concubine Qing said this, she violently shook Abao's hand away.

Abao couldn't help but froze there.

Chu Yiqing's eyes darkened, and he stepped forward and pulled Abao to stand aside. The words of persuasion he had planned to say were stuck in his throat.

Li Huang's face also darkened and he whispered: "Mother, what are you doing so awkwardly? The child has already admitted his mistake to you. Besides, if you are at fault, you shouldn't tell it to the child. A Bao is so good, how can he be so angry?

about you?"

Chu Yiqing looked cold and said in a low voice: "Mother, I know you don't like your daughter-in-law. In that case, let's separate. I'll take A Bao back to the Chu Mansion, so I don't have to be here. I'm an eyesore to you."

It makes your body so angry!"

Chu Yiqing turned around and left with A Bao.

Li Huang was startled and quickly chased after him.

In the room, Lu Ping stepped forward worriedly and whispered: "Old madam, why are you doing this? If you do this, won't you also hurt yourself?"

Concubine Qing's body trembled slightly, "Sooner or later they will hate me, sooner or later, what does it matter?"
