If Gu Qingling knew about it, he would probably be very happy.
After all, she still put a lot of effort into Yao Anhong. If he can become an outstanding student who is "recognized" by others, it will also be a kind of recognition for her, right?
Listening to how Yao Anhong praised the two poor scholars, Gu Qingling smiled and nodded without throwing any cold water on him, fully approving of his association with them.
She found that since Yao Anhong met those two people, not only did he talk more, but he also became more active.
Speaking of which, he was just a kid in his early ten years. If he hadn't been pushed so hard in previous years, he wouldn't be looking so sick.
Now we finally have some fresh youthful atmosphere, which is also a good thing.
If there is no good "imitation" person at home, you can find a few adults outside for him to learn from and learn from. Maybe he can be like them in the future.
Regarding Zhou Yusheng and Ye Maosheng, Gu Qingling had someone conduct an investigation afterwards and learned more about them.
Gu Qingling even thought carefully about whether she should marry the girl in her family if there was good news about their fate next year.
After all, Miss Yao Qi and Miss Yao Ba have reached the age where they want to see each other. Men can wait two years before dating, but the girl's flowering period cannot be delayed. Once the flowering period is delayed, she will miss the marriage market and become "no one".
"People want it".
Even if Gu Qingling no longer agrees with this era, she can only follow the trend until she has no way to change it.
However, this matter is not urgent. We have to wait until the end of the county examination next year, and maybe we will encounter a better choice.
Gu Qingling just went through this matter in her mind and did not disclose it to anyone.
Zhou Yusheng and Ye Maosheng both sneezed.
Yao Anhong thought they had caught a cold, so he quickly sent someone over to bring ginger soup, asking them to drink a bowl no matter what. They were going to finish school next year, and they would be sick at this time, so they would delay their preparation for the exam.
Zhou Yusheng and Ye Maosheng did not shirk. They thanked them a few times, drank the bowl of ginger soup, and continued to "examine" with Yao Anhong and others.
The weather is getting colder and colder.
It is said that it is not cold when it snows, it is cold when it melts. Another heavy snow falls, and when the snow melts, a cold wind comes over, which can be so cold that it freezes people's ears.
Gu Qingling didn't want to go out unless necessary. She stayed at home all day playing with her baby and reading books. The day passed.
This kind of comfortable life made Gu Qingling so comfortable that she almost forgot about the time.
Therefore, when the eldest maid reminded her that the Chinese New Year was coming, she was still in a daze.
"I'm twenty-nine today? I didn't expect time to fly by so fast..."
Chunchun covered her mouth and smiled: "A few days ago, the old lady asked me if the Chinese New Year was coming. Now it is indeed the Chinese New Year. The old lady still dislikes me for being so fast. Old lady, the sun is nice today, do you want to go out?
Turn around?”
"Forget it, it's too cold. Let's wait until it gets warmer in a few days."
Not long after, Mrs. Yao, Second Mrs. Yao, and Third Mrs. Yao came over with their maids and servants, and made one final "confirmation" on the arrangements for tomorrow's New Year.
Compared with Gu Qingling's previous life, the Chinese New Year atmosphere in this era is still full of atmosphere. It takes at least half a month to prepare for everything, including shopping for new year's goods, doing a lot of cleaning, and putting up peach charms.
This does not include the winter reserves that must be prepared beforehand.
For those who are more particular about it, it may take a month.
It was the first time for Mrs. Yao to take full responsibility for the New Year celebrations, and she was in a different place. Naturally, she was careful and careful. She took the plan and confirmed it with Gu Qingling repeatedly, fearing that she would be criticized by Gu Qingling if she did not do well.
Mrs. Yao's attitude of "be careful and never make a big mistake" was all seen by Gu Qingling. She felt that she had already done a good job. If Mrs. Yao continued to do this, she had no choice but to turn a blind eye and close her eyes.
Only one eye, pretending not to know.
As long as Mrs. Yao did not make any mistakes, she would "cooperate" with Mrs. Yao and reassure Mrs. Yao.
You cooperated, I cooperated, and for a time the Yao family's backyard was filled with rare joy and harmony.
On New Year's Eve, Uncle Yao, Second Master Yao, Third Master Yao, and Yao Anhong had a rare day off. They gathered with others in Gu Qingling's yard and had a lively reunion dinner.
Of course, it would be better if Yao Liuye's face was not so ugly.
Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the fact that Aunt Chen was not included in the "Reunion Dinner". Although he didn't say anything, he showed his face.
At this time, no one wanted to poke Gu Qingling's bad luck. Even if they saw it, they pretended not to see it. They just picked up some nice words and said them to Lu Qingling, making her smile.
Second Mrs. Yao praised the old lady for being able to raise people. Even a young man like the second master knew about the academy and might be able to give the old lady good grades next year.
"Who is he? Don't I, a mother-in-law, not know?" Gu Qingling pointed at Mr. Yao and laughed, "With his monkey-like appearance, can he still give me the top spot in the exam? He,...
His brother can still make up the numbers."
"Mom, how could you say that? My son won't accept what you say..." Yao Erye exclaimed, sacrificing himself a bit, and kissed Cai Yiyu, "Mom, you are so good at it..."
Is it so easy to get the No. 1 scholar? How many scholars in the world can get the No. 1 scholar? If the No. 1 scholar is really so easy to get the No. 1 scholar, then he will be the No. 1 scholar!"
Gu Qingling smiled and glared at him: "Oh, you have only been studying for a few days, and you actually know how many number one scholars there are in the world. I always thought that there were countless number one scholars."
"mother……"
"Puch..." With a sound, everyone in the room laughed.
The laughter in the house dispersed the chill outside.
When it got dark, Gu Qingling sent out firecrackers to a few children and asked Master Yao to take them to the yard to set them off.
Originally Yao Anxin didn't want to go, but Gu Qingling said: "Go, when you are a girl, you have to have fun. Only when you have touched, played, and experienced everything, you won't know how to do it when you grow up."
regret."
"Let's go, cousin." Just when Yao Anling was lively, she took the initiative to hold Yao Anxin's hand.
Yao Anxin had some thoughts, she bowed her body obediently to Gu Qingling, and followed Yao Anling out of the house.
Mrs. Yao Er told Mr. Yao that it was okay to play with children, but he must pay attention to safety.
"I know, I will pay attention to it. It's just a firecracker, it's nothing." Mr. Yao doesn't think there is any problem at all. He has let it go since he was a child. He knows how to let it go with his eyes closed.
In the yard, there were several large red lanterns and a few servants cleared the place.
Second Master Yao called his son and niece to come over and teach them how to play.
Yao Anxin was among them, listening to the chirping voices of her cousins, and her heart was filled with joy. When she actually lit a firecracker, she heard the "bump" sound of it, as if it was exploding.
into her heart.
bump--
A touch of warm memory left traces like this.
Even in the future, Yao Anxin will marry into a high family and become an old lady like Gu Qingling. Every New Year, she will always recall these warm memories in her mind.
At that time, she finally understood what the old lady had taught her.
