Minglan expected exactly what she expected. The more she frowned and became restless, the more the female family members of the Hou family saw hope. They cried more and more, accusing and pestering her endlessly.
, they can’t help it. ~[ ]
About five or six days later, the world became clear again.
This is like a little gangster who is teasing an older girl. He originally just wanted to take advantage of him. If he covers his lap tightly, his eyes are watery, and he shouts "Ya Zhudie" like a little white rabbit,
Maybe the gangster would immediately upgrade to a version of teasing as soon as he was inspired; if this Guliang opened his clothes and said with a fierce and ferocious face, "Hey, if you have the guts, you can do it. If you don't do it, you are not a pure man", maybe
There is a possibility of scaring away gangsters.
Minglan felt that she was very smart, so she showed off the above insights to Gu Tingye. The man was very interested and immediately closed the door and closed the window. He was very academic and asked to test the effect of this theory on the spot. He also consciously helped her pull the collar.
.
Encountering a big gangster, she had no choice but to run away.
As soon as she had some free time, Minglan remembered something urgent that she needed to do, so she walked to Kouxiang Garden specifically that day.
Since Minglan punished the talkative mother-in-law last time - twenty big boards and immediately kicked her out, everyone in Kouxiangyuan no longer dares to underestimate Sister Rong.
After a month, Sister Rong's face became rounder, her body became taller, and she became less timid.
Like a dedicated breeder, Minglan looked at Sister Rong up and down, left and right, and then smiled at Gong Qiu with satisfaction: "Sister Rong's complexion looks much better, and you are also interested."
Qiu Niang smiled numbly, her eyes full of sadness, but Gong Hongxiao became more lively and immediately said: "Look what Madam said, I am the first daughter of the master, how can we not worry about it in our house?"
Minglan glanced at her lightly and stirred the tea leaves with the lid of the bowl: "It doesn't matter which girl you are, you just need to remember that no matter what happens in the future, Sister Rong will always be the eldest lady in this house and the real boss.
"
Sister Rong glanced at Minglan quickly, then lowered her head. Gong Hongxiao was stunned. Normally, Madam is very talkative, but why did she suddenly become so sharp today? She smiled awkwardly and stood up honestly.
aside. ~
Minglan smiled gently and asked them both to sit down. After asking a few questions about Sister Rong's daily life, she asked about Sister Rong's homework. Gong Qiu and Gong Qiu were stunned at the same time and looked at each other.
I moved my little feet a little awkwardly.
Qiuniang looked uneasy, but she quickly took out a small array cage from the back room and took out a few pieces of cloth to show to Minglan. She could not hide the fear in her voice: "This... the day is not long, sister only learned
These……"
Minglan took a few pieces of cloth and looked at them carefully, and nodded slightly. You must know that when Sister Rong first came to Chengyuan, the level of female embroidery was only able to sew a few small tears. Now she can already embroider a few crooked pieces.
, sewing and embroidery are actually two very different concepts. Although there is not much progress, I can still get started. [ ]
"You don't have to be so restrained. I think this is good. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Sister Rong is not stupid. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will always make progress." Minglan smiled to appease Qiuniang and said seriously, "I
I have seen the clothes you made for me, and they are indeed good craftsmanship. If Sister Rong can learn even half of what you do, it will be helpful for her future career."
Qiuniang responded softly, her face looking much better.
Then it was Gong Hongxiao's turn.
When Sister Rong first came here, Minglan asked her carefully and found out that she could only read in her 20s or 30s. One-third of them could be recognized but could not write, and one-third could be recognized together. It would not be safe to separate them.
, the poem can only recite the first two sentences of "Silent Night Thoughts" and the first sentence of "Goose" (Minglan slanders: It is quite like the father). From the perspective of educational theory, in this case, the development of cultural education should have
There was a lot of room for performance, so Minglan looked at Teacher Gong expectantly.
Gong Hongxiao's face turned blue and white, and her girl Jin Xi slowly handed over a stack of thin papers. Minglan took it and took a look, and her face suddenly didn't look good - the words were still familiar faces,
The strokes were still so bad, and even the typos were still in the same place. Minglan didn't give up, and counted the words carefully again, and finally couldn't help but feel angry.
"It's been a month, and I've only learned eleven or two new words, huh?" The last word had a high pitched tail, and his voice was cold, "Is it because you didn't teach me more, or did I fail to learn it?"
It takes three days to recognize a word? Gu Tingye’s genes are not that bad, right?
Aunt Gong forced a smile and wanted to get over with Xini: "Sister Rong is smart and clever, but she doesn't seem to be interested in school bags, so..." Sister Rong suddenly raised her head, her face full of stubbornness, as if she was not convinced, Gong Hongxiao
When he saw it, he paused awkwardly, "It's my fault too. I don't have the heart to teach. I'm busy in the house right now..."
She was also in a dilemma. She originally had the same relationship with Sister Rong, but she couldn't be as soft-spoken and persuasive as Qiu Niang. The entire Kouxiang Garden had Minglan's eyes and ears, so she only needed to touch Sister Rong with her finger.
Minglan will know immediately.(·~)
She couldn't beat him, cajole him, or persuade him. She didn't think it was troublesome, so she took it easy, and who knew Minglan would suddenly come to check.
Minglan said calmly: "Oh, what are you busy with?"
Gong Hongxiao's pretty eyes flickered, as if she was embarrassed to speak, biting her lips and said: "Although I am insignificant, it is the Gu family's business. Now all the ladies and grandmothers are in a hurry and panic, coming in and out all day long, I am
My heart, I can’t let go..."
She couldn't say any more because Minglan's eyes were cold.
Minglan didn't say anything for now. She only signaled Danjue to lead Sister Rong out first. She slowly put down the tea bowl, and the crisp teacup made a sound on the disk.
I can't help but I didn't know you were so 'uneasy'?"
"You really have a lot to worry about?!" Minglan stared at her coldly.
Gong Hongxiao stood up in fear. Qiuniang looked at her and stood up too.
Minglan gently withdrew her gaze, glanced at Gong Qiu and Gong Qiu, and softened her tone: "I am young and have never raised children. I didn't think so much. I went to Zhongqinbo a few days ago.
However, my little niece is only a little over five years old, and her writing and speaking are already very impressive!"
Thinking of Sister Zhuang, who is as young as a porcelain doll and as delicate as a porcelain doll. She speaks clearly and clearly, has a generous attitude, always answers questions, and is neither timid nor arrogant. Then looking at Sister Rong, who is almost nine years old, Minglan just
A headache.
According to Hualan's training plan, all ladies should have an enlightenment education around the age of five. By the age of ten, they can show their hands and be looked at (female celebrities, conversation, posture, education level), and by the age of fifteen, they can get married.
It's time to settle.
After Minglan heard this, she felt guilty for a while. She felt that Sister Rong was not her child after all. She had not thought so much and so far-term. She felt that it would not matter if the child in the second grade of elementary school could live happily for two more years. She had no expectations at all.
to the seriousness of the situation.
Minglan sighed and spoke earnestly: "I'm not pointing out that you can teach me poetry and poetry, but you can't just ignore it. In a family like ours, it's hard for a girl to even have a copy of "Female Commandments"
You can't even watch "Girl's Training"?! It's just a joke!"
Minglan paused and said in a serious tone: "My wife has given Sister Rong into your hands, you should pay more attention to it! With Sister Rong's studies now like this, do you still have time to mind other things?
?!"
Speaking of which, something happened in the Marquis's house during these days. Qiuniang was quite honest (perhaps she was frustrated in love), but Hongxiao was running around inside and outside. It was very lively. Thinking about it, it was time to give it a beating.
.
Gong Hongxiao's face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. This time she was so scolded that she couldn't even utter a word. Her knees softened and she knelt down. She kept admitting her mistake and admitted that she had been negligent.
Minglan said it a little happily, and she showed a little bit of the cowardice she had been feeling for the past few days. After giving a few final instructions, she got up and went back to her courtyard. When she came to the door of Kouxiang Garden, she saw Mother Hua leading Sister Rong's son.
Stand there.
Sister Rong raised her face slightly and looked at Minglan, biting her lips. Minglan was waiting for her, but she didn't say anything after all. She turned around and ran away again. Mother Hua looked at Sister Rong's back,
He sighed slightly and blessed Minglan.
"Madam, don't take it to heart, sister..." She didn't know how to say it, "I watched her enter the house. Over the years... Oh, she is also a poor child, but she is not confused, she
I know you treat her well."
Minglan smiled bitterly - in fact, she was not very good to the girl, but she was afraid of taking responsibility, so she delegated responsibilities and powers, and she only fulfilled her obligation of constant supervision. Sometimes she was even glad that Sister Rong had been alienated
He was wary of himself. If she really came to get close to him, how should he treat this child?
Children in this era mature precociously. In fact, most girls as young as 18 years old already know this, not to mention that their biological mothers are still alive and well. If Minglan rushes to show her warm and soothing motherly love, she will think that she is very interested in taking her mother's place.
Interested.
Minglan took a long breath of helplessness.
Her motherly love was not abundant to begin with. Over the years, she had already given it to Hualan and Haishi's children. Those chubby and cute dolls would call her sweetly, hug her neck softly, and even cover her body.
He kissed her cheek with a flutter of milky fragrance; when Minglan thought of them, she felt a softness in her heart, and she liked her to death. As for the angular Sister Rong, Minglan felt that she was incapable of getting along with her, and thought her life was already full of excitement.
It’s quite a challenge, so there’s no need to look for problems on your own, just take good care of her and have a clear conscience.
She couldn't help it if she couldn't like this child. Emotions weren't like running water. She could just let him go if he wanted to.
Well, she is indeed a selfish person.
After reflecting on it, training the concubine, and taking care of her husband's illegitimate daughter, life will continue; although the Marquis's family doesn't bother her much anymore, the situation is getting more and more serious.
The messengers who came to ask questions became increasingly rude and frequent. By the end of May, Dali Temple simply took the person to the Si Yamen for interrogation. The brothers Gu Tingyang and Gu Tingdi were released after being questioned, their faces pale.
On the second day of June, Liu Zhengjie personally led a team of guards and took away the fourth old man and Gu Tingbing's father. The fourth old lady and Mrs. Xuan Bing'er went to question the brothers in the fifth room about what they had said inside.
Are you putting all the blame on the fourth house? The more the women talked, the more excited they became, and they immediately cursed. In the end, the quarrel led to fists and kicks, and the quarrel became very serious.
It is said that during the chaos, Gu Tingyang's face was scratched by someone's fingernails, and blood was flowing. He could not see anyone for a while. Now he is hiding at home to recover from his injuries. Half of the fifth old man's beard was also pulled off.
When he heard the news, Gu Tingye only curled the corners of his lips, smiled sarcastically, and said nothing.
Two days later, Gu Tingwei was also taken away.
One day later, someone from the Hou Mansion came to invite Gu Tingye and his wife to come over. It was Mrs. Shao's mother who came.
The author has something to say:
There are only three chapters left before this volume is complete. There is a big level, so I plan to finish it in one go! Maybe the chapters will be combined.
