Chapter 125 1252 Gold
"Mom, I've finished the calculation... 20 ingots, 50 beads, 10 gold bricks..."
Little Qin Hao was not happy at all! The reason why he took so long to calculate was because the gold bricks were too heavy! And he needed to move the gold bricks away to see if there were any more beads!
"Then what is it in total?" Liu Rusi came up with the answer as soon as she finished asking. She turned her head and narrowed her eyes, then asked faintly, "Are you scolding me?"
"No! I really don't know how much is in there!"
Chu Shiyu hurriedly explained! He even strode forward and picked up the gold bricks and ingots to fill them back and compared the size of the box. How could it be filled?! There is still space! At least some more gold beads can be stuffed in! How could there be exactly 1,250 taels?!
"Maybe you calculated it wrong?" Chu Shiyu questioned Qin Hao.
Qin Hao was furious on the spot! What was he doubting?! The gold bricks and ingots were clearly visible. The child picked up the box of gold beads and held it in his arms. He picked up one and threw it into the box, saying without emotion: "One."
"two."
"three."
Qin Hao threw the numbers very quickly, and soon he reached "four one."
"Okay, stop counting."
Liu Rusi took the box from Qin Hao with a smile, handed the remaining nine to Chu Shiyu and said, "Just take these back."
Originally she was only half joking, so if someone wanted to scold her in this way, then let them do it!
What's more, she didn't believe that Chu Shiyu would deliberately scold her, so she dared to watch here with peace of mind.
Chu Shiyu calmed down and thought that it would not be regarded as malicious. He reached out to take the box and smiled softly, "Consider it a gift from you to me."
"No! You just take it back! Otherwise it's like I accepted the one thousand two hundred and fifty!" Liu Rusi said angrily.
"Oh... then I'll take it back..." Chu Shiyu felt helpless and a little sad, as if he had never received her formal gift... A return gift of gold beads would also be nice.
"Go out, it's already dusk."
Liu Rusi greeted Chu Shiyu, then looked at her son and said, "Although you are still young, you are so tired after moving a few ten-jin bricks. It shows that you are not in good health. Start doing gymnastics tomorrow, once in the morning and once in the evening!
"Ah..." Qin Hao frowned. That was because the gold was too slippery and difficult to handle! How could it be all bad things when we counted the gold? !
"But you can have an extra half hour for self-study in the afternoon." Liu Rusi offered a benefit - even if she didn't agree, she couldn't stop Qin Hao from reading secretly.
"Great!" Qin Hao cheered, then turned his big eyes and asked: "Can I do it two...three more times, and add another hour?!
"No! This is not a condition of exchange!" Liu Rusi scolded, then turned around and glared at Chu Shiyu. She must have learned this bad habit from this guy!
Chu Shiyu didn't understand, but turned away awkwardly, "Please don't vent your anger on me, okay..."
The new house is equipped with four people for dinner.
When they walked out of the living room, there was only a ray of daylight left. The colorful clouds returned to the east wing. The three of them walked to the corridor of the main house. Qin Hao said to Liu Rusi, "Mom, I'm going back to my room. Good night."
"Good night, go to bed early and have a good sleep."
Liu Rusi touched her son's head and watched him jump away, then she found that Chu Shiyu was still standing next to her!
"What are you doing?!"
Her scalp suddenly tightened, and she turned around and hugged the pillar next to her tightly with both hands! ——This was what she thought of, a possible method to deal with his attack...
Chu Shiyu originally wanted to try to have today's stay not counted as staying overnight within the past ten days. He had been holding back for a long time in the palace, but he couldn't help but come... But seeing how she was so nervous, his guilt made him unable to say it.
"Well... I'm going to go back. Let me tell you."
Liu Rusi blinked, let go of the pillar, and asked suspiciously: "You remember, right? You agreed to only come to this house ten days a month. In other words, you came today, so it counts as one day."
"! You're raising the price in disguise! It clearly said that you can only stay here for ten days a month!"
In fact, Chu Shiyu could understand what Liu Rusi meant, but it was already aggrieved that he couldn't live here, so he should try to find loopholes in the text! If he really couldn't see anyone for a day, he would go crazy!
"It's not an extra bet! That's exactly what I said at the time!"
Liu Rusi paused and said in a similar tone at that time: "Or, you can only come to this house ten days a month, and the rest of the time, you can concentrate on your work, okay?"
"And then you..." Liu Rusi's angry face turned red under the illumination of the auspicious dragon and phoenix lantern that was moved over.
Chu Shiyu... vaguely remembered, but he couldn't recognize it! He coughed lightly and said, "I don't remember those very clearly, but I still remember what you said behind my back when you drove me away. I can repeat it again..."
He didn't imitate the voice, but he replicated the tone: "Have you forgotten what you promised me?! You can only stay in this house for ten days a month! Today! Get out of here!"
Liu Rusi shrank her neck. Is she so scary when she is angry?
Seeing her move, Chu Shiyu quickly hugged her and said softly, "You mainly want me to concentrate on my work, right? I came to see you today because I have finished all the work."
Liu Rusi struggled and shouted with a sour look in her teeth: "Okay, okay, okay! That's it! Get out of here, if you don't want to settle it today, get out of here right away!"
The goal was achieved, but Chu Shiyu was still a little dissatisfied. He rubbed his chin against the top of the head of the person in his arms and said coquettishly: "Then can you take me to the stable, otherwise I will sit here all night... If I don't go into the house, it won't count as staying..."
What serious illness? ! Liu Rusi sighed and said, "Okay, I'll take you there. Can you let me go first?"
Chu Shiyu didn't say anything, but just picked her up! Liu Rusi still couldn't break free! And she still didn't dare to shout, for fear that it would be heard in Qin Hao's room!
After walking down the corridor to the small granary and the garden gate, Liu Rusi whispered, "Let go..."
However, she had already been put down, and Chu Shiyu said seriously: "It's too narrow over there, it's not convenient to walk side by side."
"A corridor half a meter wide isn't even wide enough for you to walk through. Are you a crab?!" Liu Rusi shouted out what she was supposed to complain about in her heart, and then she paused, as if there was nothing wrong with it!
Chu Shiyu turned a deaf ear to him and only asked two words in reply: "In ten days or so it will be Mid-Autumn Festival. It is a good time to eat crabs. Do you like to eat them?"
Liu Rusi was stunned for a moment, then said ambiguously: "It's OK."
One strange thing is that in her previous life, she had only eaten crabs before she was ten years old, and by the time she was in college, she had forgotten what they tasted like.
But in this world, Qin Lie would buy a pair of crabs every Mid-Autumn Festival. Most crabs in Southwest Province were stream crabs. The hairy crabs that were bigger than her palm must have come from the neighboring province or even further. She looked through the account book and found that a pair cost three taels.
Three or two, it doesn't sound like much now...
"How can you still think of him when facing me?" The slightly hoarse voice woke her up.
"how do you know…"
"I wish I could lend you my eyes! When you think of him, it's like... a puff of smoke, gray..."
Chu Shiyu hugged the person tightly in his arms to show his presence and tried to...confine a puff of smoke.
"Okay... stop it."
Liu Rusi interrupted and angrily said, "Besides, are you getting more and more comfortable with it the more you hug me? How can this be possible!"
"Uh... well, let's go, it's getting dark, take me to the carriage, and you can go back and rest early."
Chu Shiyu let go of his hand, pushed open the garden door and walked out. If something is natural, it may not be natural anymore if it is pointed out...
"Wow! U2U2 is so efficient!"
Liu Rusi stared at the garden in amazement. There were two rows of twelve planting frames arranged in a staggered manner. The arrangement was so reasonable that she didn't even need to make any more adjustments!
Chu Shiyu naturally also noticed these large wooden frames that were not there last night, and naturally asked: "Did you instruct me to do these this morning? You are really capable."
"It was in the afternoon! It was just given at 3 p.m.! That's amazing!" Liu Rusi praised sincerely. He must have made the boards as soon as he arrived at the lumber shop and started working on it without stopping!
The good news is that he finally knew what she did at the guardhouse in the afternoon! The bad news is that the word "cow" was used to praise the guardhouse!
Chu Shiyu pulled Liu Rusi over with mixed feelings and said, "They are capable servants. I will reward them handsomely tomorrow."
Not wanting to argue with a feudal noble like him about the word "slave", Liu Rusi tried to ask, "Can you let me reward myself? What's the point of getting money if I can't spend it?"
"Well... okay." Chu Shiyu agreed. He really had to arouse her interest in money so that he could give her more money.
"Thanks…"
What are you thanking me for? This is her right! Liu Rusi turned to look at the carriage that had been harnessed by the guards and said, "I've taken you here. I'm going back to rest."
"Okay, go to bed early." Chu Shiyu stood in front of the carriage and looked at her. If there weren't so many guards beside them, he really wanted to kiss her before leaving.
She wanted to watch him get into the car, but seeing that he looked like he was waiting for her to turn around and go back, Liu Rusi curled her lips unnaturally, turned around and quickly walked to the garden gate, and dropped the bolt to prevent theft and safety.
"Tell the guards that when dealing with Madam Liu, there must be at least two people present..."
Chu Shiyu was halfway through giving the order when he shook his head and said, "Forget it, no need!"
Today, however, he turned around and rode a horse, leaving the carriage at the house.
As Prince Duan left, Jia Yi turned around and warned, "The people who stay outside the house to be on duty should be careful. If there is any unusual movement, don't be careless! Someone will take over the shift at 14:30. They are all familiar faces. Those who are unfamiliar will be expelled directly! Remember this clearly?"
"Understood!" The ten guards responded in unison.
The third day at home.
In the morning, Yue Ziqian taught Qin Hao in the study, Lin Qingzhi taught Caiyun, Meihong and Qiuju in the women's clinic, and Chunlan and Zhuqing had things to do at home.
Liu Rusi pulled Xue Fei towards the garden, whispering: "I don't ask much of them. You don't need to teach them too deeply. It's enough for them to be able to write simple characters after learning the Three Character Classic."
"I'll ask them to work in pairs for now, and come to the passage to study while watching the back door. If you want to change places, you have to consult me first. If you think you have mastered the Three Character Classic, please report it to me. I'll give you a random test. If you can pass, I'll reward you 10 taels per person. If everyone passes, I'll give you another 20 taels. How do you think it is?"
Xue Fei shook her head and said, "I am willing to teach, but I don't need any reward. I will help Sister Si seriously."
"No, this is not helping me, this is a job. I use money in exchange for your efforts, and you can create value through your talents." Liu Rusi said seriously.
Liu Rusi doesn't like the idea of using favors to replace wages. If her former boss told her, "We are so familiar with each other, so we don't need to pay wages, right?" she would go to the labor arbitration!
Xue Fei still didn't quite agree. She didn't refute it directly, but just mumbled: "But..."
"What do you think of Mrs. Lin?" Liu Rusi asked.
Xue Fei was slightly startled, and whispered with red eyes: "Brother Ruan Qing used to be very similar to Mr. Yue... and was also very gentle..."
"I'm asking, what do you think of Mrs. Lin? Don't look at her husband, but Lin Qingzhi herself. What do you think of her?" Liu Rusi emphasized the word "herself".
Xue Fei thought seriously for a while before she said softly, "He is well-educated, gentle and refined, but... on his face..."
"Face is not... not unimportant. A beautiful face can indeed bring many changes to your life, but you should know that beauty brings more bad things..."
Xue Fei looked sad, obviously thinking of her sister Yang Liuyi, but after a few breaths, she looked at Liu Rusi's face evasively...
Liu Rusi suddenly realized, so Xue Fei went to such great lengths to hook up with the Fifth Prince because she envied how good Chu Shiyu was to her?
She tried her best to persuade him: "You should know my wishes... The important thing is that it is not safe to entrust your life to a man. People's hearts are fickle. The good things now do not mean that you will be able to rest assured in the future..."
Liu Rusi stopped talking halfway. The little girl still looked unconvinced, but after thinking about it, it seemed understandable.
Xue Fei saw many examples of deep love that could not be changed... Xue Fei's father must have loved his wife, which was why he had been raising two daughters alone. Ruan Qing was even more so, accompanying her through life and death...
As for Chu Shiyu...to be honest, she herself found it hard to imagine what would cause him to change his mind...
"A person's charm is not just about appearance. Talent and character cannot be seen at a glance like appearance, but they can last for a long time." Liu Rusi changed her way of putting it.
"Mrs. Lin's appearance is not gorgeous, but she is as graceful as a green bamboo. Even though she has scars from smallpox, I still think she is as elegant as a Xiangfei bamboo... Do you think Mr. Yue's attitude is disgusting?"
Xue Fei was thinking for a moment, and Liu Rusi smiled and said, "You are an educated girl, but there is no limit to knowledge. When you finish teaching the guards here, Mrs. Lin will be almost done with her teaching. You can go and listen when you have time..."
The passage between the stable and the garden is actually an extension of the landlord's annex, with a roof on top and blue bricks on the ground, but the two ends are transparent without walls. But as long as it is not a cold winter, the air is flowing and the light is good, it is quite suitable for studying here.
However, when she got here, Liu Rusi saw at a glance the luxurious carriage parked here - the passage also served as a pause point for the carriage. The passage was more than two meters wide, and the carriage only took up half a meter, which was not a problem.
"The prince is here?" Liu Rusi asked Mao Liu and Mao Ba who were on guard in confusion. There were no guards from Prince Duan's mansion nearby...
"The prince said that Madam Liu could use the carriage when she went out, and the horses were left for her." Mao Liu replied. The guards of Prince Duan, the ones with the first character Jia, would assign tasks and give orders to the guards. In fact, they were just low-ranking guards under Prince Duan, and they only guarded Madam Liu's house.
Liu Rusi was slightly stunned. So he had adjusted the three questions he asked him yesterday? Although he didn't really give in...
