He didn't understand why the old lady suddenly wanted to interfere with his study.
But he did not dare to refute, so he could only say honestly: "The old lady loves you so much that my grandson dare not disobey, but... my grandson's study has always been arranged by my father. He has studied hard for many years. If there is a sudden change, I'm afraid..."
Yao Anhong didn't dare to say that this matter was decided by Second Master Yao and asked Gu Qingling to discuss it with Second Master Yao.
Yao Anhong knew about Second Master Yao's temperament. He asked his mother to ask his father, but his father would definitely not dare to refute.
But he wanted to tell the truth that his study was arranged by his mother, and he was afraid that Gu Qingling would have objections to his mother, so he could only take "tactful" measures.
"No matter what, this matter needs to be considered in the long term."
Yao Anhong directly adopted the "drag" tactic. No matter what, he had been studying like this for many years. If he suddenly changed, he was afraid that it would "do more harm than good". It would be better to change it bit by bit and slowly.
Unexpectedly, Yao Anhong looked honest, but was actually a bit cautious. Gu Qingling was very happy.
What does it mean that Yao Anhong is scheming?
It shows that he has a smart mind.
Since Gu Qingling has a smart mind, he is not afraid that he will not be able to teach him. Even if he cannot become the number one scholar in the future, it will definitely not be too bad.
As long as he has the ability, is Lu Qingling still afraid that no one will take care of him in the future?
Gu Qingling said with a smile: "That's it. I'll wait for you at Ronghe Hall tomorrow morning."
Without waiting for Yao Anhong to speak again, Gu Qingling left Yao Anhong's yard with a group of maids and women.
Yao Anhong wanted to stop him, but he didn't have the courage, so he could only sigh helplessly.
"Master, why are you sighing? The old lady suddenly came to our yard. Where do you mean it?" the maid Yanzhi asked.
Yao Anhong shook his head and said, "The old lady asked me to go to her courtyard to study tomorrow."
"What?!" Maid Yanzhi's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it, "Why did the old lady suddenly have such an idea? Master, are you ready to go?"
Of course Yao Anhong didn't want to go. He felt comfortable staying in his own yard, but if he went to the old lady's yard, that wouldn't necessarily be the case.
But he also knew that unless the old lady changed her mind, he would have no right to speak.
Seeing that Yao Anhong didn't speak, the maid Yanzhi became anxious and whispered: "Young Master, I'm afraid I have to tell the Second Master and the Second Madam about this, right?"
Of course she hoped that Yao Anhong would not go. If she went to Ronghetang, it would mean that Yao Anhong's three meals a day would be there. Then it would be difficult for her to take advantage of Yao Anhong.
The young master's food is much better than that of their maids.
In his own yard, Yao Anhong couldn't eat it, and their maids had to share it; but when he arrived at Ronghe Hall...
Yes, given the temperament of the old lady, will she share it with them? If so, she will share it with the maids in the old lady’s own yard.
Yao Anhong also felt that he really needed to tell Mr. Yao and Mrs. Yao about this matter. It would be best if he could change the old lady's mind. If not, he could only do it.
"What?! The old lady asked you to study in her yard?" When Mrs. Yao Er heard this, she was shocked, "What's going on? You haven't been studying in your own yard, why did the old lady suddenly want to study in her yard?
Does it care about your study?"
As the only direct grandson of the Yao family, when Yao Anhong was born, he naturally received the attention of everyone in the Yao family.
It's a pity that the earl passed away early, and Yao Anhong has been in poor health, so gradually fewer and fewer people pay attention to him. It's not that Mrs. Yao has never been unconvinced, but she can't be better than Yao if she is under the control of the original owner.
Second Master.
And Mr. Yao is an unreliable master and will not interfere at all.
So Yao Anhong's "teaching" job fell to Mrs. Yao Er alone.
Even though Mrs. Yao Er was born into an official family, her natal family valued boys over girls and believed that "a woman's incompetence is a virtue". She was taught a few words, such as being a housekeeper and a prostitute, which was very different from someone who came from a scholarly family.
Compared with Mrs. Yao, she is completely incomparable to heaven and earth.
Although Mrs. Yao Er knew that boys need to study in order to impress others, she didn't know exactly how to study, so she only told Yao Anhong to learn from her husband and not be lazy.
Coupled with Yao Anhong's poor health, he gradually became what he is today.
Yao Anhong nodded honestly and said, "Yeah. I don't know what happened. My son was staying well in his yard, but the old lady suddenly appeared and told him about it."
Mrs. Yao Er was a little surprised when she saw her son was hesitant to speak and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you hiding something from me?"
Yao Anhong glanced at the servants in the room, especially his sister Yao Anling, and said, "Mom, I can only tell you this matter."
"Why can I only tell my mother alone? I'm your sister. Can't I listen too?" Yao Anling was a little unhappy when she heard what her brother said.
Even if others don't care, her brother won't let her listen. Isn't this too much?
"Ahem!" Yao Anhong felt a little uncomfortable and said, "You are still young, and you cannot hear this kind of thing. Be good, you go back to your room first, I will finish talking to my mother, and I will go to your room later.
I’ll look for you and read to you, okay?”
Yao Anling pouted, a little unhappy.
But her brother and mother wouldn't let her listen, so she had no choice but to take the maid back to her house.
"Tell me, why doesn't my brother let me listen?"
After returning home, Yao Anling complained a few words to the maid.
Naturally, the maid would not speak ill of Mrs. Yao Er and Yao Anhong, but just smiled and comforted them with a few words.
Yao Anling was only six years old and was still young, so her attention was quickly diverted and the matter was forgotten.
Arriving at Mrs. Yao's yard, when Mrs. Yao retreated from the servants in the room, she heard what her son said. The old lady asked him if he had "opened meat". Mrs. Yao almost didn't understand.
Why can't you open meat?
Doesn’t her son eat this meat every day?
What?!
What the old lady is talking about is the girl with the same wife?!
Mrs. Yao Er's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it: "How old are you? Why did the old lady ask you this question?! Oh my God, is the old lady crazy?"
Yao Anhong's face was as red as anything, and he shyly shouted: "Mom..."
"There is nothing to be shy about. You are a boy. In a few years, you should indeed arrange for a girl to marry you." Mrs. Yao Er said, "Don't worry, my mother will prepare it for you in advance. You can tell her first when the time comes."
What kind of thing do you like? I’ll take photos of what you like and pick it out for you..."
"Mom, I'm still young." Yao Anhong was a little annoyed and became angry, and quickly interrupted Mrs. Yao, fearing that she would say something embarrassing again.
He told his mother that it was not because he wanted to marry the maid, but because he was worried that someone said "bad words" to the old lady, that's why he happened like this.
Seeing that he was so embarrassed, Mrs. Yao didn't mention it again, but she and Yao Anhong thought of going together, and she did have some doubts - the old lady suddenly asked, could it be that someone had said something about her son?
Did you say bad things about her?
——My dear, my son is only 11 years old. What kind of maid is trying to kill my son?
——Don't let me catch who it is, otherwise I will kill him.
