The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

Qingsong and Xiaohuo no longer have to go to Qinghe Academy to study. Every day they are as happy as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Qingsong couldn't sit still, so he took the children at home to clean the stables, and brushed and bathed Gu Buyi, Chiyan, Taxue and Wangzi, making them look smooth and shiny.

In addition, he also cleaned the family's horse-drawn carriage and donkey cart spotlessly, helped the family purchase and burn wood ash, package soap, and cut grass for the family's livestock. He liked to do any work he could.

Gu Qinghuai could see that these two guys really didn’t like Qinghe Academy.

If they don’t like it, then they don’t like it. There is no need to force them. Just let them read and study at home for the time being, and then they can enroll in school after their own academy is built.

The main purpose of ancient academies was to study literature, and the content was mostly classics, history, and literature. Gu Qinghuai felt that the talents cultivated there were very single-minded, and she was not optimistic about it.

Qingya and Qingmiao have already decided to study medicine. Gu Shuyin is ten years old this year and also needs to find her life direction.

Gu Qinghuai planned to teach Shuyin arithmetic, as well as to read, keep and check accounts, in order to train Shuyin to become his own manager.

From now on, Shuyin will be in charge of the accounts of all the factories and shops in which she has a stake, so that she can be a hands-off boss.

Shuyin is very hardworking. She seems to know that everything she has now is hard-earned, so she cherishes it very much.

Except for her usual study time, she always rushes to do the work.

Shuya, Shumiao and Yin'er are still young, and Gu Qinghuai thinks they should play for another two years and not deprive them of the joy of childhood too early.

In spring, the bright sunshine shines in the yard and the breeze blows gently.

Under the tall locust tree in the inner courtyard of the Gu family, Zhu Meijun was mending clothes, Kuhua Nai was sitting on a small stool weaving bamboo utensils, Lingzhi was holding Xiao Huhu, and Gu Qingsong and Xiaohuo were reading two popular science books with great interest.

Shuya, Shumiao and Yin'er were playing house.

A few meters away, Nangong Yun was teaching Gu Qinghuai martial arts carefully, and Gu Guangzhi was also learning to imitate beside him.

Little Huhu was held in Lingzhi's arms. He watched his mother's actions and waved his arms and legs excitedly.

Xiao Yueshi walked over with a picture album in his hand. He first bowed to Nangong Yun and Gu Guangzhi, "Grandma Nangong, Grandpa Gu, excuse me, I have something to ask Xiao Huai, so it may take a while."

Nangong Yun panted slightly and smiled, "It's okay, you guys go and talk about things. Come, Guangzhi, I'll teach you!"

"Okay!" Gu Guangzhi ran over happily.

Xiao Yueshi's eyes were full of smiles as he handed the album to Gu Qinghuai: "Xiaohuai, I have finished the album of Young Heroes. Take a look at it."

Gu Qinghuai restrained his movements, wiped the sweat from his forehead, took it and flipped through it, and praised with surprise: "Very good! Yue Shi, you draw very well. Without words, just looking at the paintings is a rare enjoyment. If it is accompanied by words, it will definitely make people forget about food and sleep, and they must finish reading it in one go.

After I have sorted it out, I will make a copy of it immediately. After my eldest brother gets married, I will go to the imperial capital in person and open a calligraphy and painting shop in the imperial capital. I will name it "Chigua" calligraphy and painting shop. Picture albums such as "Young Heroes" that are based on real life must be first released in the imperial capital."

"Okay, I'll go with you then. I also have a share in the calligraphy and painting shop, so I should contribute," Xiao Yueshi couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

It turned out that Xiao Huai's compliment was better than countless good things in the world. It made his heart feel like it was soaked in honey water, sweet, joyful, and full of irrepressible throbbing.

When Gu Qinghuai was flipping through the album, her thick and long eyelashes outlined a graceful curve under her eyes, and some fine beads of sweat hung on her fair and clear skin. Her oval face was white with pink, like a peach blossom blooming in spring, and her plump and moist red lips looked like a cherry that had just been bitten.

Xiao Yueshi couldn't help but slide his Adam's apple and quickly looked away.

Gu Qinghuai carefully put away the album, raised his eyes and smiled, "Okay, then Brother A'ren, Uncle, and Aunt Xiao will go with us. The second story album I plan to write is "Favoring Concubines and Killing Wife", which is based on the old Shu family in the imperial capital. After the album is completed, it will not be sold yet. I think there will definitely be a fierce battle between Sister Shu, Ming Zong and the Shu family, and my album will help them then."

"Well, Xiao Huai, just do whatever you want to do," Xiao Yueshi's peach blossom eyes sparkled, and his tone was full of encouragement. In an instant, he frowned slightly, "However, opening a calligraphy and painting shop in the imperial capital, and the contents of the picture album alluding to real people will definitely attract retaliation from those officials. Xiao Huai, have you thought about how to deal with it?"

Gu Qinghuai smiled confidently: "I have thought about this problem and have come up with several ways to deal with it. I still need to think carefully about how to do it specifically."

"Well, I'll think about it and help you think about it," Xiao Yueshi curled his lips.

Gu Qinghuai looked at him and lowered his voice slightly: "By the way, Yue Shi, do you understand the situation in the imperial capital and the various officials?"

Gu Qinghuai has learned a lot about this from Qi Yuanxiu and Qi Yuanshuo, but she also wants to hear Xiao Yueshi's opinion and understand the power vortex in the imperial capital from another perspective.

Xiao Yueshi's eyes lit up, and a bit of pride appeared on his handsome face: "You asked the right question. I lived in my grandfather's and uncle's house for several years to treat my illness. I didn't come back until last year. At that time, I was weak and sick, but I was unwilling to give up. I fantasized about becoming a hidden master who could plan and win battles thousands of miles away. So, I read a lot of books and collected information from many sources, and I really understood some things."

Gu Qinghuai clapped his hands, "That's great, the sun is shining brightly today, I'll go get a table and you can talk to me."

"Okay," Xiao Yueshi was also very happy. He had another reason to stay with Xiao Huai!

Gu Qinghuai and Xiao Yueshi had just sat down at the wooden table when a loud and excited voice rang out at the gate, "Master, Master, your most cherished number one fortune-bringing boy is here! Ahahaha..."

Before the voice fell, Gu Qinghuai saw Shu Mingzong in red rushing in. Behind him, Saohua and another servant were each holding a box, and they were all smiling like flowers.

"Brother Ming Zong!"

Gu Qingsong and Xiaohuo stood up excitedly, shaking the popular science books in their hands and said, "Come and read with us, my third sister bought a lot of great books again!"

Shu Mingzong bowed to the two little ones and said anxiously, "Brother Qingsong, Brother Xiaohuo, wait a moment, I have to settle accounts with the Great God first."

As he said that, he pulled Gu Qinghuai's sleeve and walked towards the lounge, "Master, hurry up, look how much money I made for you!"

Saohua and another servant put the box on the table and went out.

Gu Qinghuai sat down in the leisure room. Shu Mingzong slapped the account book on the wooden table with a "smack", raised his neck, and said proudly: "Master, please look!"
