Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang
Chapter 178: Fake Gold, She is Peerless (10)
Old Madam Xue brought quite a few gifts from Duke Xie's Mansion, filling up an entire carriage, which shows how important this matter is.
Old Madam Xue called out "Qing girl", Shi Qing quickly withdrew his gaze, walked to the old lady, and helped her into the mansion.
Duke Xie's mansion is very large, with three courtyards and exits. The maids and servants are dressed better than ordinary people.
The style of the mansion is that of Jiangnan gardens, which is very simple and elegant, with pleasant scenery at every step.
Shi Qing withdrew his gaze and followed the old lady closely, chatting and laughing. Madam Xie asked with a smile.
"Has Qing girl's marriage been decided now?"
Old Madam Xie already knew about Xue Lingqing's broken engagement with the Jiang family, but the Jiang family was not kind and did not recognize her talent. She looked at Shi Qing with a little more kindness.
Old Madam Xue sighed softly when she mentioned this matter, "Poor little girl Qing, now she only has me, an old lady, to support her. I don't know how many years I have left, so I can only make plans for her."
Hearing this, Mrs. Xie was also a little surprised. It turned out that the rumors were somewhat true.
"Qing girl is very intelligent and has a very good reputation in the academy. Even if she is not allowed to marry the Jiang family, there are still many good families who want to marry her."
Old Madam Xue was a little sad. "But her parents are so partial to one side. When Sister Wan came back, Qing was even removed from the family tree. How can we expect anything from them?"
Mrs. Xie was very smart. From what Mrs. Xue said, she already knew the purpose of her visit.
However, the two families have a deep friendship, so it is feasible to register Qing girl in the Xie family.
Besides, Xue Lingqing has had a good reputation in the capital over the years. He is kind and gentle, and Old Lady Xie likes him very much.
"Old sister, please don't be sad. It's not worth getting angry over an unfilial son. I think Qing girl is very attractive. Why not record Qing girl in our Xie family's genealogy? Yin brother just doesn't have a younger sister. Qing girl is two years older than him."
Madam Xue looked at the old sisters with gratitude in her heart, "Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll trouble you a lot for this matter."
Shi Qingji's record of the Xie family genealogy had already been decided, and this matter had to be resolved before the coming-of-age ceremony. With Old Madam Xie in charge of the household, there was no need for anyone else to take charge of these matters.
Lunch was served at the Duke's Mansion, and maids came in one after another carrying dishes in their hands.
Madam Xie ordered someone to serve Shi Qing some food and asked with a smile, "What kind of books do you like to read, young lady?"
Shi Qing put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and spoke politely and dignifiedly.
"In reply to the old lady, you usually like to read some classics, such as the Book of Songs and the Doctrine of the Mean in the Analects of Confucius. Although you cannot fully comprehend the meaning of them, you are willing to learn a little bit from them."
Mrs. Xie was very satisfied with her answer and nodded slightly.
"You are truly a good girl. I heard that you have already dropped out of the girls' school in the capital. You have such talent that you shouldn't just bury it like this."
When the female members of the Xie family who were dining with her heard these words, they understood what Old Madam Xie meant. However, Xue Lingqing was an outsider after all, and it seemed unconvincing to just listen to the clan's teachings.
"Old Madam, you are too kind. I only know a little bit and am not very knowledgeable. I am sorry to make fun of you."
The girl has a pretty face and speaks very humbly. Her every word and action is dignified and beautiful, like a painting. This is the child raised by Old Madam Xue herself, so of course she is not bad.
"I wonder if you would be willing to come to the Xie family's clan school to teach. In the past two years, the Xie family has had countless female students.
But there are few teachers in the girls' school who are satisfactory. Since my elder sister recommended you so much, I think you must have the ability."
The Xie family had produced several female teachers in the past, but they were blinded by wealth and fame while studying at the Xie clan school.
In the end, she used the Xie family as a stepping stone to become a concubine of a wealthy family. She fell in love with Erlang of the Xie family and eloped with him.
Old Madam Xie vomited blood because of this incident. Later, she drove the teacher away and the matter was settled.
It was also because of this incident that the Xie clan school no longer accepted female teachers. Now when he saw Shi Qing, he remembered the old matter and brought it up again.
At the banquet, the young lady of the Xie family looked a little unhappy, and looked at Shi Qing with hatred, as if Shi Qing had stolen something from them.
"Grandma, Miss Xue is an outsider after all. How can she take on such an important task?"
Old Mrs. Xie glanced at Miss Xie unhappily and said in a cold voice.
"You are the daughter of the Xie family, so you should be open-minded. Many girls in the mansion don't have teachers, and the clan also needs female teachers.
Since Ling Qing has such ability, he can take up the position, as long as she nods."
Miss Xie withdrew her gaze and nodded hesitantly, "Yes, granddaughter understands."
Madam Xue raised her eyes and said to Shi Qing, "Qingqing, are you willing?"
Shi Qing glanced at the two old ladies and seemed to have made up his mind.
"Thanks to the old lady's kindness, you are willing to give it a try. However, if there is anything you don't like, please don't worry about your relationship with my grandmother and just tell me directly."
"Good boy, after your coming-of-age ceremony, I will make arrangements for your family's education."
Shi Qing stood up and bowed slightly, his movements very standard.
"Thank you, madam."
Old Madam Xie likes decisive women. Xue Lingqing did not feel sorry for herself because of breaking off the engagement. Instead, she was pleasantly surprised that a woman's destiny is not just to get married.
The laws of the Zhou Dynasty were very lenient towards women; they could choose any path they wanted.
Women should also have a wider world, why can they only guard their own little piece of land?
The grandson raised by this elder sister is indeed outstanding.
The meal was enjoyed by both the host and the guests. Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xue had not seen each other for a long time, and the two old ladies chatted happily.
Shi Qing had some free time, so he wandered around the Xie family's house and unknowingly came to a lotus pond. Although it was early spring, pink flowers were already blooming in the pond.
The lotus pond was filled with white smoke, like an ink painting. Shi Qing looked at the scene and couldn't help but curled the corners of his mouth.
Fuling looked at the path in the pond and said with emotion, "As expected of Duke Xie's Mansion, the scenery is truly breathtaking."
A maid came hurriedly over, holding a brocade box in her hand, and then walked forward.
"Meet Miss Xue."
The maid looked unfamiliar. Shi Qing raised an eyebrow as he hadn't seen her at the previous banquet.
"What's the matter?"
Although Shi Qing was smiling, the cold smile did not reach his eyes.
The maid felt inexplicably intimidated and quickly handed the wooden box in her hand to Shi Qing.
"My young master sent this as a welcome gift to Miss Xue. Please accept it."
Shi Qing shook his head. "I have never met your son, so I'd better take this gift back."
The maid shook her head and said, "Miss Xue, this is a welcome gift from my brother Yin. Please don't embarrass me."
Shi Qing raised his eyebrows. The young general of the Xie family, Xie Chengyin?
When Shi Qing was looking through the plot and character settings, he took a look at it. It was a character in the original plot. He didn't appear much, but he was always a noble existence.
Tuanzi once talked about Xie Chengyin's story with Shi Qing.
It turns out that when he was young, he was an absolute devil in Chang'an City.
The Duke and his wife were very troubled by him, but they could do nothing about it.
However, after experiencing a bizarre disappearance, Xie Chengyin returned home as if he had become a different person, with a huge change in his personality.
After that, Xie Chengyin studied hard in a private school at home for several years, and then resolutely went to the northwest to join the army.
With his outstanding military talent and fearless fighting spirit, he repeatedly made great achievements on the battlefield.
Last year, due to his outstanding achievements, he was appointed as a general, becoming the youngest major general in the history of the Zhou Dynasty.
