She and Li Langzhong will return to Jingyuan Mansion soon, and they can't do anything to help their niece. They can only ask Chi'er to do what they can.
"Then I'll come here to get medicine from now on." Yao Mengxian didn't want the medical clinic to help, she just wanted to take care of her uncle's apprentice's business.
"My aunt just said that Dr. Gu's brother is an official in the court, but Mr. Gu Jinyu?"
Yao Mengxian suddenly remembered that Dr. Li's apprentice's surname was Gu. In addition, Dr. Gu was not very old. Most of the people who became officials at that young age were Gu Chengyu.
"It's him, why? Do you know each other?" Yao felt a little strange, but as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized.
"Could it be that his teacher is your grandfather Liang Shoufu?"
Yao and Langzhong Li settled in Shangling Village and never left. Later they heard that Gu Chengyu had become a disciple of a great Confucian from the capital, but they didn't pay much attention to it.
They also didn't know that Liang Zhirui once taught in a government school in Jingyuan Prefecture. The world is so big, but sometimes it can be so small.
"Grandpa is no longer the chief minister a long time ago." Yao Mengxian replied lonely.
"Alas! I also heard about this after I came to the capital. The current chief assistant is actually Xia Qing."
Mrs. Yao was also filled with emotion, no wonder her niece had a hard time in the Duke's Mansion.
If Mrs. Liang was still the chief assistant, how could those people in the Duke's Mansion still dare to bully her?
She looked at her niece's beautiful features and suddenly had an idea.
"Gu Chengyu is quite capable. Although he has a poor background, he is already at the sixth level at a young age. His future prospects should be good."
She stared at Yao Mengxian's face and had a plan in mind.
"My grandfather also often praises adults for their ability and magnanimity, and is extremely filial to them."
Speaking of Gu Chengyu's character, Yao Mengxian couldn't help but nod in praise.
Her grandfather secretly said that he was lucky to have such a good disciple.
With Gu Chengyu, she is no longer worried about the future life of her grandfather and grandmother.
People often say that raising children will provide for old age. There was only one aunt left in her grandfather's family. Originally, she was still very worried about her grandfather and the others.
But now with Gu Chengyu, once a teacher, always a father, my grandfather and grandmother can be relied upon for the rest of their lives.
As for her, she smiled to herself.
A daughter of a boudoir who has to rely on her maternal grandfather's family to protect herself will spend the rest of her life like a duckweed on the cusp of the storm. How can her maternal grandfather's family rely on her?
"Is your stepmother from the capital?" Yao thought of her niece's stepmother and wondered whose daughter her elder brother later married.
"My stepmother is from the Sunan Prefecture. The Ke family's original ancestors were also from a famous family, but now they are somewhat defeated. The stepmother's family is a branch, cough! The next generation will be in the fifth server."
Yao Mengxian said a few words about Ke's origin, looking a little embarrassed.
"What? How could my father agree to this marriage? Can the Ke family be considered a famous family? This was easy to say a hundred years ago, but what is the Ke family like today? Moreover, your stepmother's lineage is still a branch, and it has emerged from the fifth service.
They are just ordinary people."
The Yao family was simply dumbfounded. With such a background, she became the eldest daughter-in-law of the Duke of Guo's palace? To say that the Ke family was prosperous was all a matter of the previous dynasty. Now the dynasty has long since changed.
Although she is just a stepmother, how can a girl from such a family be worthy of such a big responsibility?
"My stepmother's eldest brother is now a fellow scholar in Tianjing Mansion. Their family is related by marriage to the Ma family of Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple in the capital. My stepmother's niece is now the daughter-in-law of Ma Master's second son."
After saying this, Yao finally understood. This should be due to the Ma family's matchmaking.
Sunan Mansion is adjacent to Yingnan Mansion and far away from the capital. Without the Ma family to marry each other, how could the eldest brother marry Ke?
It's just that such a background is too difficult to deal with, so it's no wonder that Ke Shi would embarrass his niece.
After all, he was born in a small family, and his upbringing was quite different from that of the girl's family.
As long as there are some rules in the family, even though they are step-brothers, they will not make it too difficult for the legitimate daughter who stayed behind. After all, she still wants to have some face.
It's not unusual for someone with a family background like Ke's to embarrass his niece. The eldest brother probably also liked Ke's appearance, and guessed that Ke was a beauty.
"Is your stepmother pregnant?" Mrs. Yao impatiently asked her eldest brother why he wanted to marry Mr. Ke. He had already married Mr. Ke anyway. What should be most concerned about now is how many children Mr. Ke has given birth to.
If you give birth to a legitimate son, you will be in trouble if you have thoughts that you shouldn't have.
"My stepmother had a miscarriage a few years ago, and then she got injured and never gave birth. It wasn't until two months ago that she found out she was pregnant."
When Yao Mengxian said this, although her face was still very calm, her heart was already turned upside down.
She also had this child in her dream, and when the child was born, her life became even more difficult.
This is a boy. In order for the eldest brother to inherit the title smoothly, how many things did the eldest sister-in-law do to hurt her behind her back?
After her mother passed away, she and her eldest brother should depend on each other, but the eldest brother and sister-in-law didn't think so.
"Then you have to remind your elder brother that you must be careful. Your elder brother is a man and cannot take care of the inner courtyard after all. You and your elder sister-in-law should stick together to resist together."
Mrs. Yao said with a sad face, Mrs. Liang went away by herself, but left a pair of children to suffer in the world.
The corners of Yao Mengxian's mouth moved, but she did not speak after all.
Not wanting their master to hide it, Lian Xin and Gao MaMa were furious.
"Why does the young master need to be reminded by the girl? The girl is living such a difficult life in the house. The young master and the young mistress have not even asked her a question. They have many calculations behind their backs. They only know how to flatter the eldest lady." Gao Mama said angrily.
"Mama Gao!" Yao Mengxian frowned and scolded her. What should she say to upset her aunt?
"Mother Gao is right, girl! The slave girl and Gao Mama are really angry. Today it is the girl who wants to punish the slave girl, and the slave girl admits it. In the Liang Mansion, the girl is worried that Old Mrs. Liang and the others will be angry and hurt her health, so she keeps reporting good news but not bad news.
But now, in front of my aunt and grandma, the girl is also hiding herself, so she will get sick sooner or later. Didn’t Mr. Li say that? The girl is thoughtful and takes everything to heart, how can her body be healthy? "
The lotus heart crackled and shook the master's bottom completely, and now she wiped away tears, making Yao Mengxian sigh helplessly.
She also knew that Gao MaMa and the others were complaining about her. Looking at the two sad people, she could not express her reprimand.
"What? Your eldest brother treats you badly?" Yao was really surprised, these are brothers and sisters!
"My eldest brother is a man, so how can he care about the affairs of the inner courtyard? I am a loner, and I am not very close to my eldest sister-in-law, so it is reasonable for her not to help me."
