Domestic Storm 015 Disdain for Trash Husband

  Qin Wan understood Qin Yu's difficulty and said, "Brother, if you can't understand it, bring it back for me to take a look."

  Qin Yu nodded his head in gratitude, "Alright. From now on, our family will also rely on you."

  Qin Wan was gentle as water, but when her parents were alive, she often helped them copy account books and had a general understanding of accounting.

  After finishing speaking, Qin Yu hesitated. After all, there were only two girls left at home, especially after knowing that his parents had been secretly harmed, he didn't dare to let his guard down. Thinking for half a day, "I won't go to Lington Academy either, it's just like a private school, and Third Uncle also came out of a private school."

  "No way! Brother, you're carrying our parents' expectations and our future on your back. You can't give up lightly!" Chen Huan couldn't help but speak up.

  She had experienced past lives, so she was very clear that Qin Yu did not have the same utilitarianism as Qin Songtao. As a result, his goal in reading books was not very clear, and he did not work as hard as Qin Songtao. He had also attended private schools, but the teachers were ordinary people who could not teach high-level students. The fact that Liting Academy could guarantee that its top student would be accepted by Yuyang Academy showed that it also had some strength. What was being compared in the academy was the quality of the students and the teachers. As long as one could withstand the test, win first place in all subjects at Liting Academy, it would at least show that this person had strong self-control and potential. Moreover, official schools and academies were connected, and most of the deans of the academies were from official backgrounds, so entering an official school was equivalent to having a connection with the officials.

  The environment shapes people, this is the experience gained from struggling and revolving among various big families for over a decade.

  Brother must have the ability to surpass Qin Songtao, this is what Chen Huan must achieve.

  "Huan'er is right. Brother, don't worry, I'm still here at home and I won't let Huan'er be bullied!" Qin Wan's usual gentle demeanor changed, her words were firm and decisive.

  Qin Yu looked at the pair of sisters, his eyes reddened, and nodded firmly, "Alright, brother will definitely enter Shu Yang Academy within a year!"

  Chen Huan couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Books are meant to be read one by one. What Director Cao said is that you're the top student in all subjects at Lixiang Academy. In three years, if you can finish reading 'The Classic of Filial Piety', 'Analects of Confucius', 'Book of History', 'Gongyang Commentary', 'Guliang Commentary', 'I Ching', 'Classic of Poetry', 'Rites of Zhou', 'Etiquette and Ceremonies', 'Record of Rites' and 'Zuo Zhuan' and get first place in every subject, that's already quite impressive. And you still need to start practicing writing essays, otherwise, when you get to Yuyang Academy, what will you use to read 'National Speech', 'Explaining Characters', 'Forest of Characters', 'Three Auspicious Ones' and 'Erya'?"

  Chen Huan felt like she couldn't help but say more after finishing her sentence, because Qin Yu and Qin Wan were staring at her as if they were looking at a freak.

  "Hmm... I saw these books in Father's study." Xing Huan chuckled.

  Chen Huan's memory had always been good, and Qin Yu didn't suspect otherwise. With a thoughtful expression, he nodded in agreement. Since it was something his father, who was single-mindedly focused on achieving academic success, wanted to read, then it must be correct.

  In fact, after her parents passed away more than a decade ago, Shen Huan had done many things. At first, she worked as a female teacher in a merchant's family, but due to her appearance, she couldn't avoid some people's lustful gazes. Helpless, she disfigured herself by slashing her face. She thought that would be the end of it, but because of her ugliness, wealthy families didn't want to hire her either. As a result, she had to find things to do everywhere and work hard to make a living, even disguising herself as a man to do many lowly jobs, including being a corpse carrier at a charity house.

  At first, when she was a female teacher in a merchant's family in Shengjing, she helped sort out the study room. The young master of that house brought a large pile of these books to read intensively for the imperial examination. She would flip through them whenever she had time. Her favorites were "Shangshu" and "Yijing". The former is the official document of emperors, generals and ministers, which can learn the degree of writing official documents and the wisdom of strategy. The latter is the depth of thought, making her consider problems more comprehensively and deeply now.

  Qin Wan stroked Shen Huan's head, "How can this little brain of yours hold so many things? You're small but your mind is big."

  Chen Huan patted his belly and said, "I'm hungry."

  Qin Wan smiled and sighed, actually she was still a little girl. "Yun Shang, take Yun Que to the public kitchen to get some food." Yun Shang responded and took Yun Que away.

  "Brother Qin Yu." The voice of Wu Feiyang outside the door.

  Chen Huan immediately jumped up, "I'm sleepy, I'll go take a nap." After saying that, he ran through the beaded curtain and directly into the bedroom.

  Qin Yu and Qin Wan exchanged a glance, then shook their heads in dismay.

  "I don't know where Fei Yang offended Huan Er, but whenever he sees him, he runs away as fast as a rabbit." Qin Yu scratched his head.

  "I think it's just that Huan'er is in a good mood." Qin Wan pushed Qin Yu, "Brother, go keep Fei Yang company, otherwise Fei Yang will come in and insist on seeing Huan'er, and let Huan'er make things difficult for Fei Yang again."

  Qin Yu sighed and went out to welcome Fei Yang.

  Wu Feiyang stretched his neck to look behind Qin Yu's back.

  "Never mind, let's go to the front yard flower hall, I'll get Xia An to bring the meal over there and we can eat together." Qin Yu patted his shoulder.

  Wu Feiyang looked at Qin Yu with disappointment, "Huan'er's sister is still not feeling well?"

  "Her parents loved her most, so she was naturally heartbroken."

  "What's the point of being so pretentious when living here?" said Qin Feng, who had just come down from his private school.

  Qin Yu glared at him and didn't make a sound.

  Wu Fei frowned, "How can you let them stay here? It's even smaller than my guest room."

  "Alright, don't worry about it, let's go chat, we haven't seen each other for over two years." Qin Yu put his arm around Wu Feiyang's shoulder and quickly pulled him away, so as not to upset Chen Huan.

  As soon as the elder brother left, Shen Huan got up and Yun Shang also brought back lunch. Due to the mourning period, the mansion arranged for vegetarian food, but it was a delicate six dishes and one soup, which were given according to the master's status.

  Qin Wan finished eating and was rinsing her mouth. Shen Huan had already wiped his mouth clean, jumped down from the chair, "Sister, I'm going out for a walk."

  "Just now you said you were sleepy, but now you're running around everywhere." Qin Wan's words hadn't finished leaving her mouth when Chen Huan had already slipped out the door. Qin Wan stomped her foot anxiously, "Xin Yue, hurry up and follow him!"

  "Let me go instead, I'm familiar with the mansion." Yun Shang hastily chimed in.

  "Hurry up, don't let her fall." Qin Wan shook her head and muttered, "What a rabbit."

  The sound of table tennis is echoing in Danxia Temple.

  Lü's face turned iron-green with rage, and she leaned on the table to catch her breath. Huaxi was directing the maids and servant women to clean up the messy floor.

  The kitchen manageress, Zhu Tongjia's wife, stood outside the door with a tray of food, poking her head in and calling out to Huaxi in a low voice.

  Zhu Tong's mother, Zhu Popo, was the wet nurse of Lü Shi. In order to get Lü Shi into the Qin Manor, this wet nurse made a lot of effort. So, Lü Shi thanked her by transferring her son and daughter-in-law to work in the manor. Zhu Tong helped his master manage the business outside, while his wife, Jin Shi, became the head housekeeper of the large kitchen, both were lucrative positions.

  Hua Xi saw her and quickly walked over, saying in a low voice, "The lady is having a headache. It's better if you don't come to bother her."

  Zhu Tong's family hesitated for a moment, "I specially stewed the swiftlet, and it was on fire for several hours, what a waste." Then he lowered his voice and said, "I also stewed a bowl for my daughter and put it in her room."

  Huaxi sighed and pondered for a moment, "Don't mention Xiangxing's affairs now, don't add trouble to the lady at this time."

  Zhu Tong's family was very busy.
