Chapter 215 Imperial Decree
Liu Shiyu said: "Are you very filial?"
Lin Zhiqiu: “…”
He felt very filial.
Seeing his expression, Liu Shiyu was very angry for some reason and said with a tense face: "Do you know what the situation is in your own family? The aunt worked hard to earn some money, which is not enough for you to squander outside. What kind of face do you have to be a filial son? Do you know what your mother eats and does every day?"
Lin Zhiqiu said in a panic: "I dare not squander it. I treat you today because my friend invited you. I will not ask you back if you don't want to."
Liu Shiyu asked, "What about the day before yesterday?"
Lin Zhiqiu said: "The day before yesterday, everyone gathered for a poetry meeting, but it was inconvenient to eat for free."
Liu Shiyu asked again: "Where is the one tael of silver half a month ago?"
Lin Zhiqiu didn't expect that she knew her situation well, was strange and embarrassed, and liked it a little, and hurriedly said, "It was a friend's mother who was sick, and her classmates helped her with great help, and she also followed her."
Liu Shiyu nodded and said, "Don't be too stingy when dating or socializing, otherwise you will be looked down upon; poetry, wine and tea parties can increase your experience and knowledge, which is better than working behind closed doors; friends help each other and loyal acts must be done..."
Lin Zhiqiu nodded desperately, as if he met a close friend.
Liu Shiyu changed the subject: "However, you have to do it within your ability, rather than relying on exploiting your mother to maintain your image as a gentleman outside!"
Lin Zhiqiu's expression froze.
He really couldn't bear this.
However, I was unable to refute it.
When Liu Shiyu saw that he was so arrogant, she felt better and said in a slow tone: "There is no use for scholars. This sentence covers the common problems of many scholars - they only know how to read books but do not know the sufferings of people's livelihood. They regard firewood, rice, oil and salt as civilized affairs. They think that it is too vulgar to care about every needle and thread, which will damage the reputation of scholars. Little do they know that it is the "vulgar" of relatives that maintains their "elegance". They know that they cherish it, and that those who look down on their relatives are just hypocrites. Even if their own life is not smooth, how can they manage people's livelihood in the future? How can they understand how to govern the economy and people's livelihood?"
After saying this, Lin Zhiqiu was so ashamed that even his hair was red, his mind was blank, and he said with difficulty: "I am ashamed..."
He was confused. He couldn't make money. Only by getting a salary after high school may it make his mother less laborious.
Liu Shiyu said: "As you are ashamed, you should find an errand to support your family and study and improve yourself. Those who have ambition will succeed! Besides, in the future, you will have to face these personal relationships and economic disputes. If you don't learn to deal with them, how can you be a good official? If you can't base yourself in the officialdom, how can you do things for the people?"
Seeing that she was dignified, Lin Zhiqiu felt that she was very good at speaking and understood the truth. She had read a lot of books, but she was speechless at this moment. Lin Zhiqiu was very grateful and listened to this painstaking advice regardless of her identity. She also knew that although she was a woman, she was a young boss in charge of the business of the Liu family, so she was willing to ask for advice.
He bowed and said, "Miss Liu's words made me very ashamed. My husband also wanted to support my mother, but I couldn't find a way. I think it was as true as the girl said, reading and reading was a useless scholar. I hope the girl can give me some advice."
After saying that, he bowed deeply.
Liu Shiyu asked: "You are not embarrassed to take a picture?"
Lin Zhiqiu hurriedly said, "What's the shame of earning money to support the family?"
Liu Shiyu asked: "Then why didn't you look for it before?"
Lin Zhiqiu stumbled and said, "There is no way..."
Liu Shiyu looked at him with little confidence: Although he was not as good as Luo Wuchen, he was also a handsome young man with extraordinary appearance. He was also very good at painting - she had seen it - and had a scholar's reputation, how could he not find a job?
Miss Liu suspected that he was making excuses and said, "You are good at painting, come to my Liu family workshop to draw pictures. Tomorrow you have breakfast and come to Xi'er." She also told Xi'er, "Take him to the workshop and tell Uncle Ming."
Xi'er said, "Yes, girl."
Lin Zhiqiu said happily: "Thank you, Miss."
Liu Shiyu said: "No need to thank you. Our family does not have idle people. If you don't do well, you will be dismissed immediately." After that, he entered the door without looking back.
Lin Zhiqiu is both happy and sad.
What I am happy is that I have errands to support my family, and I can often see Miss Liu who is impressed; what I am worried about is that I am afraid that I will lose my job again. He didn't dare to tell Liu Shiyu just now that he gave up his errands several times. Not only did he not make money, he also lost money. Every time, it was because he forgot about his god and missed the matter.
Alas, I hope I won't miss it again this time.
He calmed down and went home to tell his mother.
After Liu Shiyu returned to her room, she sat in front of the dressing table and was stunned. She couldn't figure out why she was meddling more and helping this nerd today.
Could it be that I think Lin’s mother is pitiful?
There are so many pitiful people in this world.
Or is it because of the embroidery that Lin’s mother sold her? The original image of the embroidery was painted by Lin Zhiqiu, and she admired it very much. Lin’s mother also found many paintings of Lin Zhiqiu for her to show, all of which were very spiritual.
Just as he was thinking, Xier asked, "Why did the girl help him?"
Liu Shiyu concealed her and said, "I'm not only for helping him, but also for the Liu family. His paintings are very good and can be used in our workshop."
Xi'er wondered: "The girl is good at painting herself, why do you need him to come? Besides, the workshop does not require a very skilled painter, as long as you have a foundation in painting."
Liu Shiyu was a little embarrassed and poked the maid's forehead with her finger and said, "You can say it! Can I still support him in vain? You can choose some girls with talent for painting and learn from him. If you don't want to be able to become a famous calligrapher and painter, as long as you have a good foundation, it will be better than the painters in the workshop, or you can produce one or two masters." She was originally eager to defend herself, and the more she said, the more she felt it made sense.
Xi'er's eyes shone when she heard it, and looked at her admiringly and said, "It's still the girl who has a vision. The maid didn't expect it to be here."
Liu Shiyu found a reasonable explanation for her abnormal behavior, but she was not confused. She said seriously: "I am a young master. I have to make long-term plans in everything. How can I only care about the present? - Talent cultivation is very important."
Xi'er said: "Miss is smart. It's not a maid who praises me: Who can compare to the way a girl's business is except Miss Li?"
Liu Shiyu burst into laughter.
No words all night, July 23.
In the early morning, Li Hanyao woke up with the sound of birds singing. Maybe it was because she was too tired these days. She didn't feel as refreshed as usual after waking up. She was as lazy as if she hadn't slept enough and didn't want to move. She silently brewed encouragement and listed what she wanted to do today in her heart, so that she had no reason to stay in bed again:
First of all, the Jiang family's funeral must be held.
This time is different from last time. The last case was not found out, and she was busy dealing with her opponent again, saying that she was holding a funeral, but she was actually confusing her opponent. Now that the case is found out, the funeral cannot be careless. She wants the entire Jiangnan to know that even if Sister Ru Lan is left in the Jiang family, the incense will continue.
Secondly, save the Li family's business.
This case has greatly affected the Li family's transactions: the customer who paid the deposit wanted to break the contract; those who did not pay the deposit turned to other textile merchants for cooperation; the purchasing of raw materials was also hindered. Now that the case has been solved, the Li family has survived the crisis, they must immediately announce to the industry to rescue the business.
Third, rectify the internal affairs of the Li family.
It is rumored that the Li family is about to collapse, and those who are not strong in the Li family and have bad intentions jump out one after another and need to be rectified and have another major cleaning.
Fourth, Li Zhuoyuan's room is going to be dealt with.
Fifth, the aftermath of the case.
sixth……
As he counted, Li Hanyao could no longer lie down and sat up suddenly. When he looked at the side, Jiang Rulan woke up and sat up.
The two sisters looked at each other and got out of bed at the same time!
Guanqi, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed forward and got up.
Li Hanyao saw another herself!
She said calmly: "Come on." She has many things to deal with today, and it is not convenient to issue an order based on her identity as a maid.
Guanqi hurriedly approached her and whispered, "Girl, don't change it. The yamen may have to summon it. If the girl goes, if she says a wrong sentence, let people know that Pan Ziyu caught the wrong person. She will definitely ask the girl what she did at that time, and then suspect that the fire in the shipyard and the explosion of the building ship are related to the girl."
Li Hanyao thought for a while and nodded, "It's good." So she still pretended to be watching chess. Anyway, the two of them were used to cooperating and acted tacitly.
During breakfast, Li Zhuohang ordered someone to come to Guanyuelou to send a message, asking Li Hanyao to go to the main courtyard after dinner and to his study. He had something to explain.
After dinner, Li Hanyao, Guanqi and Jiang Rulan were about to go out when suddenly Mo Zhu hurried over, running with sweat all over, shouting "Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imp
