He didn't understand why a well-behaved young master like him should be locked up in a place like this and have to copy the incomprehensible "Yao Family Rules"?
"That damn old woman..."
Yao Liuye gritted his teeth while copying.
He didn't want to copy it, but he had no choice. If he didn't copy it, the old woman would dare to have his rations deducted.
He is a dignified young man, and if he wants to eat a bite of meat, he actually has to give his "homework" in exchange?!
Why!
He is Mr. Yao Liu, the biological son of the old earl and the mistress of the Yao family. Why should she, an old woman, care about his affairs?
It's a pity that no matter how angry Mr. Yao Liu is, he can't do anything to the old lady Gu Qingling. Who makes someone else the head of this family now?
Just as he cursed, a light cough came from the side: "Ahem!"
Yao Liuye felt a chill go down his back: Damn it! I'm being watched again...
He turned his head and glared angrily at the old woman Zhao Ma, the housekeeper sent by the old lady to guard him.
In the past, the steward of Yao Liuye's yard was not him at all, and the servants around him were not the current group. It was a pity that when the capital was in trouble, all the people around him were replaced, and there was not even one of his own.
The housekeeper, Zhao Ma, lowered her head and looked submissive, but she was strong and strong. Yao Liuye made trouble several times, but she suppressed it with force.
After fighting several times, Yao Liuye knew that he was afraid of her. At least before he became so angry that he really didn't dare to do anything in front of Zhao Ma.
For example, now, he is angry and annoyed the most, but he doesn't dare to hit people with objects and drive them out.
"You old woman, I'm scolding you!"
Yao Liuye simply refused to admit it. The person he just scolded was the old lady. Otherwise, he would have been caught in the "wrong" and would be punished by the usual "etiquette".
Ahhhhhh...
Why does he, a young man, have to deduct something like this?
Zhao Ma, the housekeeper, explained: "These are the rules set by the old lady. All unmarried girls and young masters of the Yao family must abide by them. So, please don't worry, Sixth Master. Not only do you need to abide by it, even the Seventh Miss and the Eighth Miss must abide by it."
The young lady, the eldest young lady, the second young master, the third young master, and the fourth young lady all need to comply, but they will deduct less points than you."
The implication is that you should be like them and have a little more freedom, but who told you to be disobedient and keep deducting points. If you deduct too many points, you will be locked up and unable to get out.
If someone wants to go out and be free as soon as possible, he should complete the "punishment" task as soon as possible - copy "Yao Family Rules" a hundred times.
Copy honestly, copy well, and don't make mistakes again and be punished, otherwise you will never be able to get out.
The housekeeper, Mrs. Zhao, didn't know who Master Yao Liu was scolding, but since Master Yao Liu didn't admit it, she didn't bother to care. She directly said respectfully: "Master Liu is in a bad mood. It's okay to scold the slave a few more times. It's just
I hope Mr. Liu will copy the family rules well and send them to the old lady to see in the evening. If they are not up to standard, today’s copy will be in vain and they will have to be copied again.”
"Humph! Do you want to tell me? I know." Yao Liuye knew it in his heart, but he still said something unconvinced.
The housekeeper, Zhao Ma, was too lazy to pay attention to him. Anyway, she had received the old lady's order to keep an eye on people. She just completed the old lady's task and the rest had nothing to do with her.
When Gu Qingling asked Yao Liuye to copy the "Yao Family Rules", she didn't ask him to copy it all in one day. After all, she just wanted to "train" this kid and see if he could save him again. She really didn't want to punish him.
Therefore, before copying, Gu Qingling followed the old rules and asked Yao Liuye to submit a "plan" first, asking him to determine how much time it would take to complete the "punishment" and how much should be completed every day.
Gu Qingling didn't care whether his "plan" was suitable or not. Anyway, as long as he wrote it, she would ask the housekeeper, Zhao Ma, to complete this task before she could help with other things.
Yao Liuye was also a fool. He just wanted to finish the copying task early and get out of this shabby yard early. What he didn't expect was that in addition to the copying task, he also had to complete his daily studies - there was a dedicated person every morning.
Take him to the Yao Academy next door to study, and then send him back after finishing his studies.
In other words, in addition to completing his own "copying tasks", Yao Liuye also had to complete the academy's homework.
Wuwuwuwu... Yao Liuye cried.
Although he is already a seventeen-year-old "grown man", in fact, he has never studied hard before. He is like Mr. Yao, who spends three days fishing and two days drying the net. Only those who can learn something are crazy.
When he was sent to Yao's Academy, his grades were worse than those of ten-year-old Yao Anyi. He was either punished or punished by copying books.
Ahhhh...why am I always the one who gets hurt?
That damn old woman must have tricked me on purpose.
Yao Liuye wrote "angry" and straight.
Not to mention, after this period of training, he has learned nothing else, but he has mastered this handwriting. Not only is his handwriting neat, but he can also write quickly.
The only shortcoming is that this character has no spirituality and cannot become a great calligrapher.
But Gu Qingling didn't mind. Anyway, she didn't expect Mr. Yao Liu to be very promising. As long as he could smooth out his temper and know who he was, she would be less of a hindrance to the Yao family in the future.
Seeing the words sent by the housekeeper Zhao Ma, Gu Qingling checked it out and said, "How has he been doing lately?"
Zhao's mother lowered her head and said very respectfully: "Sixth Master has a quick temper and complains a lot, but now he can endure it and copy the books, and the speed is faster than before."
"Well! That's good. He's not clamoring to see Aunt Chen, is he?"
"No, Mr. Liu is not very good at his studies. He is often punished by his teacher. After finishing his homework, it is already very late. In order to be able to do morning exercises on time the next day, Mr. Liu goes to bed at that time and has no time to worry about anything else."
"That's good." Gu Qingling showed a satisfied look and praised Ma Zhao, "You have worked hard during this period. If it weren't for your help to watch over him, this kid would really think that he was a monkey, and he would not be able to go to the house to reveal it.
watt."
"Thank you for the compliment, old lady. I just did what a slave should do. The sixth master was able to achieve what he is today because of the old lady's resourcefulness. That's why I took down the sixth master and asked him to act honestly and according to the 'rules'."
"Rules are dead, but people are alive. I know what kind of virtue the Sixth Master has. He, just because he was spoiled when the Earl was still here, he really thinks that he is a person. In fact, in the final analysis,
He is just a bastard. If I hadn't pity him for his young age, he is still the earl's son anyway, and he would just be an 'errand boy.'" Gu Qingling smiled and directly placed Yao Liuye at the bottom of the Yao family's food chain.
She knew very well that when the original owner was worried about this and that, and indulged Yao Liuye, Yao Liuye was a "master", and the servants did not dare to offend him; but once she no longer took Yao Liuye seriously,
Then Yao Liuye's situation is not good.
She, an old lady, regards Master Yao Liu as a "cat or dog" that can be taken out at any time. How can those servants who act at the whim of the wind take Master Yao Liu seriously?
In this way, the servants that Yao Liuye found particularly easy to handle in the past are no longer so easy to handle.
Gu Qingling wants Yao Liuye to understand who has the final say in this family. If he wants to live well, he must understand his status.
