Noble Lady

Chapter 114 Settlement of Accounts

It turned out that Chen Lizhu wanted to use Xue Huai to help her half-brother become famous.

She was taking advantage of Chen Lizhu, and the other party was also taking advantage of her.

"The exchange of interests is not so shameful."

Xue Chenyu asked Yuzhu to grind the paper and then picked up the pen to write a letter.

The answer is also in response to the three points raised by Chen Lizhu.

The first is her gratitude.

Xue Chenyu wrote back saying that she had ordered too many lychees and didn't want them to go bad, so she invited her friends to taste them together. She also mentioned that she had given some to Du Jingyuan of the Du family. As for the silver, she didn't need it because she didn't need the money.

The second reason was that she wanted help booking lychees for the next caravan, but Xue Chenyu could only say very sincerely that she couldn't help with that.

Because other people had already reserved the good fruits long ago, the yield might be more or less, but the difference wouldn't be too big. However, she had reserved some, and if she didn't mind, she could give her some more when the time came.

As for hiring Chen Mingxuan as a teacher.

Xue Chenyu said that her parents hope to hire a teacher who can help Xue Huai consolidate what he has learned and expand his new knowledge.

After all, there aren't many scholars in the family, and his foundation is weak. He wouldn't be able to reach the level of passing the Imperial College entrance exam in a short time if he were to rely on self-study, so we decided to find a new teacher. Thank you for your trouble.

Then he dried it, packed it up, and sealed it with wax, and asked Yuzhu to send someone to send it out.

After finishing all this, she went to the next room to see He Jixiang.

In fact, He Jixiang was quite restrained when he attacked at the beginning. The wound looked scary, but it was only a superficial injury.

In addition, Xue Chenyu was willing to give her good medicine, and several maids in the house took turns to take care of her, so she was actually much better.

But Xue Chenyu wouldn't let her get out of bed and asked her to rest.

"Sister Xue..." Seeing Xue Chenyu come in, He Jixiang was so excited that he wanted to stand up.

Xue Chenyu gave Dong Yue a look and was held down by her.

"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. This time you injured your neck, which could be fatal. You need to rest well and don't keep thinking about running out."

"But I..." After lying down for a few days, He Jixiang's hands and feet were numb. He said aggrievedly, "I can't always stay here with Sister Xue and let the sisters take care of me all the time."

"Why are you being so polite to us, Fourth Miss? You're the one who's injured now, and we're taking care of you. If one of us gets hurt or has a headache or a fever later, won't you help take care of us?"

Yumei is such a little rascal that once she opens her mouth, you can't say anything back.

He Jixiang nodded hesitantly, "That's true, but I'm worried..."

"Don't worry about it. I'll let you know when I need you to come forward. You can't move too much right now. The wound has finally scabbed over, and if you stand up and move around, it will break open. Wouldn't that ruin all your efforts?"

Xue Chenyu's words were well-reasoned and finally calmed He Jixiang down.

However, none of the four maids under her are there to eat for free.

Yuzhu is very skillful and prepared foods for her that are easy to eat and digest, and can also help with wound recovery.

Yumei is a quirky person. She often says surprising things and can tell stories.

She talked about the strange people and things she had seen outside in the past, as well as the stories told to her by her elders, which left He Jixiang stunned.

Qiuhua and Dongyue are both very strong in punching and kicking, and at the beginning it was all up to them to hold down the fourth girl.

They also said that if He Jixiang wanted to learn martial arts when he recovered, they would teach him.

At this moment, Yumei excitedly raised her hand beside her: "Me too, me too."

Who can tell whether she wants to teach or learn?

Xue Chenyu was standing next to them, holding a cup of tea and a book, watching them play and have fun.

There really is a feeling that time is peaceful and tranquil.

Of course, when they were having too much fun, she would suddenly remind them, "Play and joke around, but don't forget what I told you, girl."

"Don't worry, girl. I have an informant on Cui Hua's side." Yumei came out to show off her wit again.

Speaking of this, Xue Chenyu found it funny.

Let this little girl keep an eye on Cui Hua. With her eloquent mouth, she managed to develop several girls of her age nearby into her spies.

She said that she had a sister who loved Cui Hua, but her family disagreed and thought Cui Hua was a bad person. The girls really believed it, so she brought some gifts and coaxed the man into submission.

She can get the information she wants without leaving home, and she can get the information from multiple people without even having to worry about them colluding to deceive her.

The art of war was explained to her clearly.

Last time, Yuzhu praised her: "If our Dasheng didn't have female officials, you would have been able to take the imperial examination with your clever brain."

The result made the little girl very proud. She looked up and said, "It doesn't matter if I didn't have one before. I will be the first female champion."

She spoke with a serious expression, which impressed everyone in the room.

What a huge ambition this is.

The world's resources are all tilted towards men, but the Spring Examination is held every three years, and only one top scholar can emerge from thousands of people. She has to compete for the top scholar with those men who have the best time, place and people since their birth.

Regardless of whether it can be achieved, this ambition alone is commendable.

So Xue Chenyu didn't laugh at her. Instead, she said seriously, "If you really want to study, I can help you find a good teacher. Maybe we can really produce a female top scholar here!"

There was no suppression, no ridicule, and no one looked down upon her just because she was now selling herself into slavery. Just based on these words, she had to help her junior uncle get a wife.

……

While everyone in Furongju was in harmony, Mrs. Liu was gloomy as she looked at a stack of account books. She took some medicine and covered her chest with her hands, even though she was about to faint, she didn't dare to.

The wedding banquet was the Ji family's business. Liu had no intention of letting Ji Minrou participate from the beginning, so she asked her to go back before Zhang came.

But she didn't expect that Zhang would make her so angry.

There was no way she could call Ji Minrou back to tell her these words.

I kept getting angry and comforting myself.

Finally it was the hour of You.

As soon as He Minzhi got off work, Mother Huang grabbed him and rushed to Ciwenyuan.

"What happened again? Mother is looking for me so anxiously."

Mother Huang didn't dare to say anything more. "The adults will understand when they get there."

The mother and son are settling accounts, so she shouldn't get too involved.

When He Minzhi saw Huang's mother's cautious expression, he felt that something bad was going to happen.

After all, in the past two months, every time his mother called him over, something bad happened.

But right now, the whole family is busy arranging Ruyi's wedding. Marrying into the Cui family is a great thing, so how could there be any bad thing?

So while he was worried, he comforted himself and even consoled himself. His mother was always polite to him and spoke to him in a friendly manner. Even if there was something wrong, she would never really get angry with him.

So he quickly put all the bad thoughts aside and wanted to share with Liu the respected treatment he received in the Hanlin Academy today.

"Mother, son..."

"Your Majesty!"

He Minzhi walked in with a smile on his face, but was greeted by Liu's furious look.

"Mother, what happened? Who made you angry again?"

"I told you to kneel down!" He Minzhi was stunned for a moment, but still knelt down obediently.

"Mother, did Mrs. Xue make you angry again? Please tell your son and I will scold her."

"It's not Xue, it's you!"
