Chapter 3 The people of Wufu who were involved in dire straits (1)
Mrs. Wu's fortune was pretty good, and she had not had any major setbacks in her whole life. Her parents loved her at home, but her parents-in-law passed away a few years after she got married, and her husband was an only son.
It can be said that there are no constraints from parents-in-law, no conflicts between sisters-in-law, husband and wife are harmonious, and they live a happy life.
There were only two things that made her very distressed in the past.
The first thing is that in the past ten years, Mrs. Wu was relied on by the late emperor because of her excellent performance in official examinations. She was appointed to important local positions every year. She changed places every three years, and she had to take her children with her to move around. She was just familiar with a place.
Then I moved to another unfamiliar place and was really running around.
The second thing is that her youngest daughter Wu Li was born with some congenital deficiencies, which made her frail and sick. Mrs. Wu had to endure the pain of separation and fostered her daughter with her parents' family.
Over the years, there has been an exchange of letters between her parents' family, and Mrs. Wu could only express her pain of missing her little daughter through a few words in the letters.
But I don’t know when, the younger daughter’s reputation gradually became bad, especially after her mother passed away. There were many sharp and resentful words hidden in the letters from her sister-in-law, which made Mrs. Wu worried, but she was beyond her reach.
Finally, three years ago, Mr. Wu was able to return to Beijing, and the two major issues that were weighing on Mrs. Wu's mind were resolved at once.
She was in a happy mood, and almost as soon as she was appointed to return to the capital, she couldn't wait to pack up and set off, preparing to bring her little daughter back and pay homage to her mother.
Mrs. Wu thought very well. Her little daughter was raised crooked. After she brought her back, she took her with her to educate her personally, tempered Wu Li's temperament, and taught him some principles of life. After a few years, she would give her to Wu Li.
It shouldn't be difficult to marry into a family with the Wu family's family background, and find a low-income family with a well-off family to marry.
That's what I thought, but when Mrs. Wu saw Lihua, she realized that it was completely different. The hearsay was completely untrustworthy.
My little daughter is not the temperament rumored at all. Not only is she not willful and lazy, she is very sensible and diligent. She is even more diligent and hard-working than the scholar who has to take the imperial examination. Her hard work is shocking!
On the way back to Beijing, Mrs. Wu just mentioned that she needed to calm down in the morning and dusk after returning home. She was ready to teach the rules and etiquette, and then she saw that her little daughter's eyes lit up.
Since then, Mrs. Wu has never been able to sleep in again.
At that time, Lihua had just traveled through time, and the original owner had fallen into the water and drowned. As a result, Lihua was very weak. As soon as she recovered, the system ruthlessly urged her to take action. When she was looking at her and didn't know how to start, Mrs. Wu came to her door.
.
At that time, Lihua looked at Mrs. Wu like a new parent, and she smiled with two small pear dimples on her cheeks: "Mom, I want to learn, please teach me more."
Use three years to cultivate her into the best lady in the world, don’t let the system kill her!
Mrs. Wu smiled happily, what a good child, who was delayed by others: "Okay, okay, whatever you want to learn, my mother will teach you."
But she didn't expect that she was too full of words. On the way back to the capital, Mrs. Wu's stomach was completely emptied by Lihua, and she learned quickly and well.
Mrs. Wu has some doubts about life. The rules and etiquette she has learned for half her life are really weak, and she wonders if she is too shallow.
In the end, Mrs. Wu looked at her naive, ignorant, thirsty and admiring little daughter in the inn, their eyes facing each other, unable to teach, and extremely stressed.
Before Mrs. Wu showed her loving heart, she encountered a mudslide-like pear blossom. She had no choice but to wipe her sweat and bear her guilty conscience, and said that she would hire a teacher when she got back. If she wanted to learn anything, she could hire any teacher.
When she said this, Mrs. Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but saw that her little daughter's eyes lit up again.
At that time, Lihua's eyes were dazzling and she was so happy that she felt so sleepy that she couldn't help but take three courses in one breath, including literacy, female prostitutes, and cooking skills. They were all important to a boudoir girl from a wealthy family.
skills.
Only then did Mrs. Wu realize that her daughter couldn't even read a few big characters, and all the words she wrote were typos (at that time, Lihua didn't know much about ancient characters), and she couldn't help hugging Lihua and burst into tears.
Her daughter, no one taught her how to read and write in her maternal grandfather's family. Her sisters-in-law were all sweet-faced and bitter-hearted, and they treated her daughter so poorly that they would never interact with her again.
Mrs. Wu felt sorry for Lihua. She immediately agreed to find a husband for Lihua. She also held Lihua’s hand and told Lihua to tell her more about anything she wanted to learn in the future. She didn’t have to be so stuffy in her heart that she couldn’t open her mouth. They were mother and daughter.
When a daughter wants something, it is natural for a mother to find a way to satisfy it.
Mrs. Wu regretted this last superfluous sentence countless times.
In the next three years, Mrs. Wu felt how deep the water was and how hot the fire was, because every once in a while, Lihua came to look for her.
It's not difficult to find a husband, but ordinary teachers can't control the situation at all. It's really difficult to find a good husband who can teach a young daughter and endure the torture.
Mrs. Wu was frowning every day, thinking about how to invite her husband. Her happy days were gone forever.
For example, I once invited an old man in his 70s or 80s to come back. Within a day, he was so angry that he almost had a stroke, and finally walked away: "This girl knows so many things, why did you invite this old man to do it?"
Mrs. Wu hurriedly went to ask, only to learn that her youngest daughter had been following the old man in the morning to learn enlightenment books. In the afternoon, she said that she knew everything, and asked the old man if he knew anything else.
The old man thought that Lihua was insulting his intelligence. He was so angry that he almost had a stroke. He was rescued by Lihua and left immediately after regaining consciousness.
And Lihua was really wronged. She was a master's student at a prestigious school in her previous life. She spent a whole morning going through this ancient elementary school enlightenment thing and she was already sorry for her reputation as a modern paper king.
You must know that in her previous life, she was an existence that even top students were afraid of, and she would fly up wherever she went.
A group of children in kindergarten cried because they were too advanced in their studies. They never stayed in one grade for a full year in elementary school, junior high school, and skipped grades all the way up.
At the age of fifteen, I was admitted to a prestigious university, completed two majors in three years, and completed a graduate course in one year.
If it hadn't been for the huge changes in her family, maybe Lihua would have continued her studies and become a backbone in the scientific community.
Maybe it was too much work, maybe she was jealous of her talent. Just when Ewha was about to graduate and was about to accept an offer from a well-known company with an annual salary of one million, she died suddenly in the middle of the night because she stayed up all night doing final projects, reports, plans, research, etc.
Guangrong was selected by the system and traveled back to ancient times to complete the mission!
Speaking of which, Mrs. Wu apologized to the old man for being angry, and finally settled the matter.
At first, Mrs. Wu didn't care too much. If the old man didn't want to teach his younger daughter, just hire another one. It wasn't a big deal.
Later I discovered that this was just the beginning. Many of the teachers I hired later were either not good enough to teach, or they quickly became incapable of teaching. The number of teachers who were tortured to the point of self-doubt was uncountable.
Just look at what Lihua said to Mrs. Wu every time she came back:
"Mom, Mr. Wang seems to have lost his ability to teach. He hides when he sees his daughter. Alas... It seems that my daughter is already a beginner in embroidery. I heard that she is very skilled in double-sided embroidery. I wonder if my mother knows a gentleman in this field.
?"
"Mom, since Mr. Fang doesn't want to stay, let's hire another gentleman to teach the piano. By the way, I heard that a chess master has come to Beijing. Maybe mother can invite him?"
"Mom, Mr. Caitian just left in tears, saying that he would go back and learn before he came back. Don't worry, my daughter has been comforted. My daughter has weak bones. I heard that learning some boxing and kicking skills can strengthen her body..."
