Listening to these words, you can tell that the steward lady is a well-educated person. But when she said this, her words became a little extreme, but it is easy to understand. Most people from the palace are like this, so it is not strange.
This courtyard is in a secluded part of the mansion. There are only a few people in the courtyard, so it is deserted and there is no need to fight. But if it is enlarged to the entire Mrs. Chu's mansion, it will be different.

People always say that wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and this is absolutely true.
The stewardess's meaning is very clear. If anyone else in the house, except Mrs. Chu, gets involved in the matter, there might be some trouble. In that case, it is better to persuade her wife to come forward. At least they and the people around them don't have to worry about being harmed.
People bully.
As for whether they will bully others or not, that depends on the situation.
But she wasn't quite sure. Ever since Madam Changsun entered the palace, they were the ones waiting on her. She was a relic of the false dynasty and had lost her energy when she entered the palace. She only recovered a little last year.
She didn't pay much attention to anyone in the mansion. She only had some words with the madam. She didn't want to go with her when she took them out for fun. She only read in the yard by herself. Sometimes when she was bored, she would take them for a walk in the garden of the mansion.
Later, there were more children in the house and they were always playing in several gardens, so she stopped going.
When I go out once a month or two, I always go to my brother's house. If I stay there for a day or two or three or four days, I feel much better when I come back.
Life is simple to the point of being boring.
But if you think that she is so depressed that she doesn't care about anything, that's nonsense.
After being with her for a long time, you will know that this is a delicate and graceful woman who is very picky about food and clothing, but she just doesn't say it.
Sometimes the lady in charge would suspect that the reason why my wife came to live here was not because she was seeking refuge, but because her brother couldn't afford to support him, so he was sent here.
In addition, she is a woman with great ideas. She has the demeanor of a dignified lady in the family. Not only is she good-looking, she will not be ignored by others anytime and anywhere.
Even if you stand there without saying a word, you will still get attention.
Because of this, the lady in charge would persuade her to fight. If Changsun Wujiu had acted like a weak and weak woman, she would not have said these words. Instead, she would have advised her to stay away, so as not to cause everyone else to suffer.
.
It was a coincidence. If it were the Changsun Wujiu from yesterday, she would have just laughed it off after hearing this. She would not want to meddle in those nosy matters.
What is the situation of these people in the government? Do they still have to fight for that power?
Even if we win, so what? If we live like this, our whole lives will be like this, so what else can we hope for?
She has seen all the children in the house, but they are not very sensible yet. When they know their mother's situation, and then think about their own future, they will be good children who will not complain.
When the time comes, if you feel that your mother or your family background is in the way, you may do something evil.
…………
But today's Changsun Wujiu was different. The behavior of her brother, whom she had depended on until now, really irritated her. Even the brother she had grown up with was not reliable, so who else could she count on? She was the only one left.
This bit of power in the government that she had looked down on yesterday suddenly became different in her eyes.
She subconsciously touched the big cat's head, thought for a moment and said: "Don't just hear everything. Madam is a person who has led the army. She can handle this matter in the house very comfortably..."
When the lady in charge heard this, she paused while combing her hair, and then she was overjoyed and said, "Don't worry, madam, I will go and inquire again tomorrow. The wintersweet beside my lady is very close to me, so I am sure she is right."
"
Changsun Wujiu smiled bitterly in his heart. She was very familiar with this rhythm. When she was in charge of everything in the palace of Prince Qin, weren't the people around her like this?
She married Li Shimin when she was thirteen years old. She was still young at that time, and she admired Li Erlang who was very grand in his words and deeds. Her life after marriage was pretty good.
Li Shimin travels around all year round, and she takes charge of everything at home.
In the twelfth year of the Great Cause, the world was already in chaos. Grandpa Li Yuan's rebellion in Taiyuan was revealed. The news was spread back to Chang'an, which shocked the entire court.
She was also panicking at that time. Fortunately, someone helped her and her whole family ran out of Chang'an. Later she found out that it was the border troops from Mayi who came to Chang'an to pick up the whole family.
Speaking of which, she has also received favors from the current emperor.
…………
Past events flashed through Changsun Wujiu's mind. Those were stories almost ten years ago, and there was nothing to recall.
It's sad just to think about it. There weren't many days when I got together with my husband, and the longest period of time was when my husband and his uncle were fighting the most intensely.
When my husband returns home, he often frowns deeply, perhaps hiding something on his mind. He is no longer the high-spirited, eloquent and smiling husband of the Li family in Luoyang.
But in the end, she still couldn't defeat others. Thinking about it now, she always felt like why bother?
A family like the Li family in Longxi, with their wealth and splendor, just one step away from being an emperor, why do they have to walk on that single-plank bridge? There are so many families in Chang'an, which one do you think is as miserable as the Li family?
The father and son lost their lives, leaving only a large group of orphans and widows, surviving desolately. That is to say, the current emperor is not very voluptuous, otherwise where would the Li family's face be?
Well, I heard that the emperor is quite lustful. I guess it is because of my sister-in-law that everyone is safe and sound so far.
…………
"What are you asking about..." Changsun Wujiu shook his head, "Go and take out the Yao Qin. I will send it to Madam tomorrow. She likes to play the Qin. I just want to listen to her play a piece of music."
The stewardess nodded in agreement, but then said hesitantly: "Madam, didn't Zhang Qin say..."
Changsun Wujiu smiled and said, "That thing belongs to the Li family. It is just right to return it to Madam. She will be happy when she sees it. It is Yan Gu's old thing."
He gave it to me... I heard that my wife cried for a long time at that time."
The lady in charge praised: "My wife will be delighted when she finds something lost, and my wife will definitely be grateful for her painstaking act of parting with her."
Changsun Wujiu said quietly: "I have been living in Madam's house and have been under her protection for several years. I just returned an old thing to Madam. What can I be grateful for?
Moreover, it is useless to keep Zhang Qin here with me. Every time I see something and miss someone else, I just stop thinking about it. The daughter of the eldest grandson’s family doesn’t owe him anything in the first place..."
The latter words were obviously meant for her own ears. Her voice gradually became lower and her words were vague. The lady in charge did not hear her clearly, but she also knew that she was not feeling well.
"My lady, please eat some more. Don't be hungry. Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep well at night. The tea will be cold. I'll cook some more for my lady. Now these teas smell delicious. It's said that they are all new teas served by the palace this year."
.
Madam, you think it's strange. In the past few years, when we drank tea, we always put some salt foam and lotus seeds and other things in it, and the tea soup had different flavors.
Now, there is nothing left, just some tea leaves. I am always not used to drinking it, it is very bitter, but everyone agrees, is there something wrong with my slave's mouth?"
While nagging, he asked the maid to bring in the stove, teapot, tea leaves and water, and began to make tea skillfully.
The big cat meowed, left Changsun Wujiu's arms, ran to the tea stove and circled it twice before climbing down not far away.
The weather is gradually getting cooler in mid-July. Cats are afraid of the cold and always want to find a warmer place to stay.
Changsun Wujiu let his hair hang loosely and rested his chin with one hand, leaning on the low table, "Drinking tea is an elegant thing. In the past, in order to show how noble they were, people would always put some rare things in to mix the flavor of the tea. What they wanted was to stand out from the crowd.
It's just different.
Now I don’t let go of anything, it’s still true and natural, so it’s also called elegant. It seems that the aunt is definitely an elegant person.”
The lady in charge laughed and said, "I cook good tea and can also recite a few sour poems. How can I say that I am not elegant enough?"
Changsun Wujiu was amused by her and did not argue with her. Like many things, elegance is essentially a gentleman's elegance. If the status is wrong, nothing will be right.
The trend of drinking tea gradually became popular from the Southern and Northern Dynasties, especially those hermits in the forest, who played a great role in promoting the trend of drinking tea.
By the early Tang Dynasty, tea had become popular among ordinary people.
As for how to drink tea and how to blend the taste, it was the aristocrats who set the trend.
Nowadays, this way of drinking tea without any seasoning started in the palace. I heard that the emperor liked to drink tea like this, so everyone followed suit.
As for the indecent things, they are actually just nonsense.
It's just that the common people don't have as many tricks to play as the nobles, so they very much welcome this custom. When using tea to entertain guests, you can save a lot of money, and everyone doesn't have to compare, which really saves a lot of trouble.
Of course, it doesn't matter to the nobles. Since there is no distinction between high and low in terms of seasonings, then starting from the source of the tea can always improve yourself.
Changsun Wujiu has always been a woman who attaches great importance to the quality of life. She is full of elegance but has no intention of showing off. She is a typical ladylike figure.
"Madam thinks of me all the time. As far as I know, everything given by the palace will be given to me by me. I have to talk too much again. Madam should go and talk to me on weekdays. Madam is alone...actually it's quite good."
lonely.
But he still doesn’t want to enter the palace, which is really confusing.”
Changsun Wujiu frowned, "Just think about some things in your heart and don't say them out loud. You can also comment on my wife's actions?"
The lady in charge's hands shook. The big cat opened its mouth at the right time, exposed its fangs, and gave her a couple of mouthfuls. It looked like a bitch.
"My lady's lesson is that this slave's mouth really deserves to be slapped. Madam treats people well, and madam treats others well. Being able to come here after leaving the palace is a blessing accumulated over several lifetimes. Don't worry too much, otherwise I'm afraid you will be punished by God.
