Chapter 37
"Hui'er should not be so mean. No one taught her. The Zhao family is a businessman, and it is not surprising that the rules are loose. The mother and daughter are used to being treated coldly. They don't understand many rules. Where can she teach her children when she is sick? Zhao Xuan'er really doesn't understand."
This time the old lady was not angry about having a child. She was only five years old and couldn't be angry with the child. That was too stingy.
After hearing this, Shuhui nodded and said nothing.
In less than half a month, Mrs. Zhao passed away. I heard that it was because of overwork and her body was very damaged. Before her death, she begged the old lady to raise her children and gave the remaining dowry to the old lady. In fact, there was nothing left, only the farms and shops in the capital. The Zhao family could not sell them, and all the others were spent.
This shows that Mrs. Zhao is also a stupid man, who made the merchant's husband cheat and spent all his dowry.
The Marquis' Mansion still kept a low profile and had a funeral. The old Marquis never intervened much, but sent the mansion soldiers to seek justice. The Yang family's money was not so easy to spend.
As for Zi Lan, I don’t know what to do in the future, and the adults will not tell him these things, a child.
Yeli Zilan sat there in a small floral dress and long trousers, shaking her little feet. Seeing Yang make a bed for herself, she asked, "Mom, is Mrs. Zhao's dowry just being cheated out like this? What a pity."
"How is it possible? Your grandfather sent someone to seek justice. After getting it back, not only is it too much, but it's not easy to take advantage of my Yang family."
Yang sneered, and he had to vomit out any amount of money he spent, and he couldn't lose a penny. And I heard that he had asked for more, of course, it was a dowry prepared for Zhao Xuaner. This time the old man would not pay for it himself.
"Oh, then Zhao Xuan'er is also very pitiful. No one wants her parents' family. My grandfather will have the final say in the future."
"Yes, you go to bed."
Yang patted his daughter, settled her, and he had to go back to the house to rest.
"Mom, don't worry, my daughter won't do anything that disappoints you."
Zilan means that she doesn't get too close to Zhao Xuan'er.
Yang laughed, "Don't ask about adults, your child is innocent, you can deal with yours."
Is it because I'm going to take revenge on my child? What had passed long ago, she's gone so badly that she's already calmed down.
"Hehehehe!"
Zilan fell asleep with a smile.
Because of Zhao Xuan'er, Zilan also moved into the side house of Yang's former boudoir. Because they only lived here temporarily, they could just live in the side house.
However, Zilan's wish to sleep alone still failed. With a girl in bed, Yang could not let her sleep alone.
After Zhao Xuan'er's mother passed away, there was only one old lady and a little girl. The old lady had no choice but to appoint a maid to take care of her, and she still lived in the yard on the west side.
Because she wanted to be filial, she was wearing plain clothes.
Zhao Xuan'er came to pay tribute after she got the maid's tip. She really didn't teach her anything to her child.
"Xuan'er pays homage to the old lady."
"Well, get up, you're old too. I'll ask someone to arrange a kitchenette for you to cook food separately in Xiyuan. I'll come to greet you when I get up early, learn the rules with Aunt Xu, and go to the academy to study and understand the principles. Do you understand?"
The old lady bluntly told her children that she should eat vegetarian food when she is filial and not get any meat or fish. This is a must-do, after all, she is also sensible.
"Yes, Xuan'er listens to the old lady."
Zhao Xuan'er was very frightened, so naturally, whatever the adults said would be what they would do.
"Well, live with peace of mind, and you will be a family in the future. Let's tell the girl if you have any shortcomings. Play with your two sisters. This is your aunt's child. They just came back and bought the yard. They have not yet been repaired. Let's live at home.
This is your sister Shuhui, the daughter of your second uncle. You will get along well together in the future. Have you ever read books before?"
"I can recognize a few words. They were taught by my mother. Later, my mother never taught me again when she was sick."
Zhao Xuan'er's hands were curled up in her sleeves, her clothes were a little wide, but she herself was thin and looked very empty. Her nervous hands were shaking.
"Oh, it doesn't matter, just learn slowly. They have just started learning."
The old lady nodded slightly after hearing this, and she said, "Learn to learn slowly." It's okay for children to be obedient, but she's not afraid of being stupid. As long as she's obedient, she can do it."
"Sister, thank you grandmother, but Aunt Xu is a nanny from the palace. She will benefit greatly from studying hard for the rest of her life.
Even if you are a daughter from the official family, you are not invited by everyone to the nanny in the palace. Your mother has worked hard for you, so you must learn the rules."
Zilan quickly reminded Zhao Xuan.
"Xuan'er, thank you for your pity and love, I will learn the rules well."
"Yeah, go down."
La Mrs. La made her retreat with expressionless expression.
The man sighed after leaving, "Lan'er, Hui'er, please teach more, you can't go out like this."
"yes."
"In fact, the rules can't be learned, as long as you are obedient and sensible."
Zilan went up obediently to massage his back and made his grandmother happy.
"I don't ask her to be as sensible and clever as you do, I just want her to be obedient and not embarrassing."
The old lady sighed, fortunately the child was young and could still teach him.
Zhao Xuan'er came early the next morning, wearing a plain white filial piety uniform, and she looked very weak and pitiful when she stood there.
"Why don't Sister Xuan go in? It's okay to wait in the ear room, it's so hot outside."
"It doesn't matter, don't disturb the old lady's rest, it's not good."
Zhao Xuan'er seemed very cautious. No wonder, it was inevitable that the child would be lonely and be more cautious without his biological parents.
"Let's wait inside the house, it's hot outside. If the girls are punished if the sun is damaged, my grandmother will think that they are not willing to serve you and deliberately lazy.
The Hou Mansion is in a regular manner, but the grandmother and elders are very kind and caring to us. Just say anything directly. If you come early, you can take a walk around the yard. When we get up early, we must exercise the Five Animal Show to ensure good health."
Zi Lan explained friendly, mainly because the child is really pitiful, and it is not difficult to say a few words.
"Thank you for your advice from Sister Lan, I remember."
Zhao Xuan'er smiled shyly at her.
After pulling her into the house, the maids' faces eased a little. After talking for a long time, they didn't listen to advice. They stood at the door like a stake, letting the old lady get up and see it. They had to be punished. It's really...
The maid complained for the first time.
After entering the house, the old lady had already gotten up and was dressing up inside. The three girls were sitting and waiting in the small hall.
Peony brought a glass of honey water to the third brother.
"Thank you, Sister Mudan."
"It will take the old lady a while, otherwise you can go around the garden. The weather is so good and the sun is bright today, and the flowers in the garden are so beautiful."
Seeing that the atmosphere was very depressing, Mudan simply persuaded all three children to go and play.
"Okay, then we'll come and greet you later. Let's go to the garden for a while."
Zilan thought about it and was very bored sitting here. It would be better to go to the garden to pick some flowers.
"Then let's go."
Shuhui lifted her foot and left.
