Chapter 330: Qiu Mei's Thoughts
"I remembered it!" Wen Erye interrupted Xiao You, "The girl beside the girl has two concubines who have made Jiang Huanzhang the concubine, one of them is Qiu Mei?"
"Yes, it's her. When the old man took Madam Wan to carry the dowry and broke the kiss, Qiu Mei said that she was also a dowry. She came back with Xia Xian and Dongrou, and Chunyan stayed in the Jiang family."
"Yes, a smart person." Wen Erye commented.
"What's smart!" Xiaoyou seemed to disagree. "Listen to me. I know that this is right. You said she is smart. I said from the beginning that Qiu Mei is also a miserable person, and she can't become a slave without a miser. Her mother died early, and her father married her stepmother and became a stepmother. She grew up with her aunt, and her aunt also had a miserable life. She just got married for a few years and became a widow. She was a son who raised her own money to make a living by making a living by making a needle. Later, Qiu Mei added."
Xiao You said whatever he thought about, but fortunately, Master Wen Er understood it.
"Her aunt treats her very well. She looks at her own daughter. She just became her own daughter. She didn't learn how to needle and thread her aunt was! Look at this, is this called cleverness? Stupid!"
Xiao You looked so angry that he was not strong enough, and Master Wen nodded repeatedly.
"It's because she didn't learn that her aunt fell ill, and she and her cousin had to go hungry. She and her cousin were stupid! She went to sell herself as a slave, and her cousin went to carry long-term work. Her cousin was studying at the age of five or six. Second Master, you said, can this scholar carry a life? Isn't it seeking death? Well, it broke. Fortunately, Qiu Mei was born well and her life was not bad. She was seen by Madam Wan and bought it back. There were so many good people. She bought her and then let her go home to serve her aunt and her cousin. In the end, she handled the funeral for her aunt and gave her aunt the money to her hometown for burial. She gave her a lot of money. The wife lost a lot of money to buy her."
"This is Madam's mercy."
"Miss is such a good person, so is a girl." Xiao You sighed, "Qiumei grew up with her cousin. Qiumei said that her aunt planned to let her marry her cousin, and then...this is the matter!"
A smart person like Master Wen is a little dizzy, what's the matter?
"A girl in front asked Madam Wan to ask her what she had plans in the future, and she became interested again. I told her, don't think about these useless things, how can men have good things?"
The expression on Wen Erye’s face was a little dazed.
"She couldn't listen. Ermaster, are you right? She has been a concubine for others. Not to mention that her cousin is a scholar, she is a labourer. If she was not too poor to marry someone, she would not marry someone who had been a concubine for others. But she couldn't say that she had money on hand... Anyway, I just think she was confused, and a man was just a good thing... Second Master, you don't count."
Xiaoyou suddenly thought of excluding Erye. Erye Wen just pretended that he didn't hear her saying, "You don't count."
"Here, let her tell you, Second Master, please persuade her." Xiaoyou stood up, patted the little bamboo chair, and signaled to give it to Qiu Mei. She went to pick crabs and steam crabs and dismantle crab noodles by herself.
Qiu Mei looked a little nervous, "Please pay tribute to the second master."
"It's good to sit down and talk, don't stand." Master Wen Er looked at Qiu Mei, smiled and signaled her to sit down, poured her another cup of tea. "Xiao You told me just now, how are your cousin doing now? Are you still studying?"
"Yes!" Qiu Mei looked proud when she heard Mr. Wen ask about her cousin, "My cousin is so smart. Everyone says that he is born to be a seed of study."
"Well, did you get a scholar?"
"Not yet." When Master Wen asked this, Qiu Mei replied and quickly explained, "It's not a fault for my cousin. Two years ago, my aunt fell ill and fell injured again. Later, my aunt died of illness. He returned home with a coffin. He never went back to his hometown in Huzhou. The Zhou family had no clan and no reliable relatives. He buried his aunt and set up a house to find a husband. He was sick again or two, delaying his study. Otherwise, he would have been a scholar long time ago."
"Well, that's what you said." Wen Erye nodded in agreement, "A middle-class family can support a scholar. Since the Zhou family has no clan and no clan, where did your cousin get the money?"
"My identity and money were also rewarded by my wife. My wife asked someone to buy a small village for him in Huzhou, and the girl asked the old shopkeeper Ning to take care of him."
"Oh." Master Wen Er said lightly, "Tell me, what do you want to ask?"
"I just want to ask the second master, who is a slave like me, and has been a concubine for others. If my cousin marrys me, if he becomes an official in the future, will he violate the laws of the court? Can he still be an official?"
Mr. Wen's eyes widened when Qiu Mei asked her, and after a while, he coughed a few times, "That... your cousin hasn't even passed the exam yet."
"I know, I know what you mean. If you can pass the Jinshi, you will be the Wenquxing in the sky. But what if my cousin is the Wenquxing?" Qiu Mei looked very clear and very serious.
Master Wen was stunned for a moment, what if he said this?
"Aren't you worried that your cousin will dislike you?" Qiu Mei's words were even more straightforward than Xiao You, and Master Wen Er also asked directly.
"My cousin will definitely not dislike me! My cousin is not that kind of person!" Qiu Mei rejected Master Wen's question, "I'm afraid I will implicate my cousin."
"The law is just a favor," Mr. Wen looked at Qiu Mei seriously again, "If your cousin really looks like what you said, it is a rare strange man with high knowledge and rare sight. This small matter cannot be implicated by him. I have never seen your cousin, but you are very unusual. If you really have this plan, you should go back to Huzhou, ask clearly in front of your cousin, and take a look clearly."
"Second Master is easy to say." Qiu Mei gave Master Wen a look, "Huzhou is so far from the capital. How can I go back with a woman's house? How much money does it cost to go back? I know that this matter is not worthy of putting it into the hands of my wife and the girl, but I don't have the shame to ask my wife to arrange this for me? Spend this money? I can't just because my wife and the girl are kind-hearted, I will never end up doing this and that matter. I still have shame."
Mr. Wen felt that Qiu Mei's words were the same as Xiao You's words just now, "You don't count, Er Master," which made him feel speechless and crying.
"What you said... is very true. Your cousin married you and then entered the imperial examination and will not violate the laws of the court." Mr. Wen felt that he would ask questions and answer, and stop talking too much. All the girls in Wisteria Villa have big ideas!
