She was a good daughter-in-law of the Hou family. Not only was she taught her how to dance with guns and sticks, but she also often stood up to Mrs. Du when she made things difficult for her mother. She was very good at deceiving her elders in both positive and negative ways.
Du was so angry several times that she couldn't even eat.
However, she didn't dare to make trouble at this time and just lowered her head in silence.
"Yujia is celebrating the 11th of this year, so you need to learn the rules carefully." The queen said more solemnly, "Since you can't enter the palace, take these two nuns back and serve them closely, and teach them the rules of the palace."
The last sentence was quite suggestive. Seeing the two of them deep in thought, the Queen patted her on the shoulder and said, "Yujia is my niece, I will not treat her badly."
Won't you be treated badly?
The prince is already eighteen this year, and Yujia is only eleven after the Chinese New Year. The earliest a woman can get married is fourteen years old. There are still three years left. Will the prince wait until he is in his twenties before getting married? Moreover, she has heard that the queen is summoning her in these days.
The fateful wife, at first glance, is choosing a suitable princess, and she will not treat her niece badly...at most, she will be a concubine of the prince!
And when Yujia grows up, the prince will have been married for two years by then, and maybe the prince will have concubines.
Is this unfair treatment?
For the child Yujia, although it was just a task, how could he not have feelings after getting along with her every day? Chu Yunli herself also taught her with her heart. She took the trouble to teach her, not just to give it to the prince as a concubine.
Buried with.
After leaving the palace gate, little Mrs. Du looked at the two nuns following Chu Yunli with envy on their faces, "Congratulations, sister-in-law. When Yujia becomes successful in the future, I will never forget you as my mother." Then she sighed, "I
Why can’t I give birth to a daughter?”
There was infinite regret in her tone, and the meaning of her words seemed as if Yujia had become a favored concubine.
Chu Yunli didn't bother to pay attention and directly got on the carriage to go home.
The Queen gave her a nanny. If she really wanted to refuse, she could, but there was no need to fall out with the Queen. It would be too easy for the mother of a country to deal with her.
Besides, if this person wants to see Yujia when he comes back, he has to ask her.
After entering the courtyard, she took the two nuns directly back to the courtyard. She was trying to persuade the two of them, when she heard the fatter nun say, "May I ask Madam, where is Miss Yujia?"
?”
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows, "She is taking a nap. We need to have a good chat before seeing her."
"I am here to teach the girl the palace rules under the order of the empress. I have nothing to talk about with the madam. It would be better to see Miss Yujia first to observe her rules and start early." He added at the end.
, "Lest the queen blame us."
Listen carefully, this "we" also includes Chu Yunli.
Chu Yunli laughed angrily, "As a slave, you are more anxious than me, the master. What, you mean I can't teach Yujia well, so I have to let you teach me! Do I have to listen to your orders in the future?"
"
The two nuns bowed and said, "I don't dare. I'm just following orders. Madam Hou, please don't embarrass us."
"Yes, it will be good for Miss Yujia to learn the rules well. One wrong step in the palace may be fatal..."
These words can prove that the queen made no secret of Yujia's intention to enter the palace in the future in front of these two people.
Just at this time, Yujia came in. After seeing the situation in the room, he asked in surprise, "Mom, are these two the people you brought from the palace?"
When Chu Yunli saw her, her face softened, "Yes, I asked them to teach you the rules."
The two nuns saluted Yujia, "I've seen the girl, please give her regards."
The movements were smooth and flowing, which was quite beautiful. Yujia immediately became interested and said, "Okay."
The two nuns had already seen that Chu Yunli didn't want them to teach them. When they heard what Yujia said, they were quite happy and glanced at Chu Yunli proudly, "If you wrong me in the future, don't complain, I will
This is all for your own good."
Yujia happily took them away.
Seeing this, Chu Yunli couldn't help but laugh, but she could take it with her, but if she wanted to clean up Yujia, things like rattan had to be prepared by the people below, so she wouldn't give them to them when the time came.
Then, Chu Yunli only occasionally asked about it, and heard that on the first day, the two nuns were going to teach her how to walk and stand upright for an hour with a book on her head.
Yujia was willing to stand, but she asked two nuns to accompany her. If they didn’t do it, she wouldn’t do it either. In the end, one of the nuns’ books fell off. As I said earlier, if the book on Yujia’s head fell off once,
After adding an extra half hour, she also asked the nanny to stand. Finally, after standing for a day, the nanny became ill and couldn't get up the next day.
Yujia is no longer the little girl who only knew how to eat. Anyway, she learns what she is willing to learn and listens to what she is unwilling to learn. No one can force her.
Since Jiang Yuhao went to the Academy, he could only come back for a day or two during the Chinese New Year. Jiang Yuyang, on the other hand, could stay for a few more days when he came back, and five years passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past five years, except for Jiang Qi's hair growing on his head, Du Shi's hands and feet atrophied while lying on the bed and could no longer stand up, brothers Jiang Quan and Jiang Yujia growing taller, and Jiang Yujia growing into a tall and graceful girl, there was still no one.
What a change.
This year, the Jiang Yuhao brothers took part in the imperial examination together. They successfully passed the county examination and passed the provincial examination. Then, they finally returned home.
The main door of the Hou Mansion was wide open, and Chu Yunli and Xiao Du went to the door in person to pick up the two brothers.
The two brothers are already eighteen years old this year and are tall and tall. Compared with Jiang Yuyang's gentle and reasonable manner, Jiang Yuhao is a bit more cold and treats others coldly.
The two brothers have hardly seen their families in the past few years, and even when they come back, they come and go in a hurry. When Xiao Du saw Jiang Yuyang coming out of the carriage, tears fell, and she reached out to hold her son's hand, "Yuyang...
…”
The hand she extended was in vain, and Jiang Yuyang avoided it slightly, "Mom, when my son has grown up, it is difficult to distinguish between men and women. Now that he has returned home, don't do this."
Looking at her gentle and polite son, Mrs. Du's affection seemed to have been poured down by a basin of cold water in her pocket. There were still tears in the corners of her eyes, but she didn't bother to wipe them away. It was a little funny and she asked, "I am your mother, have you forgotten?"
"
Jiang Yuyang frowned slightly, "Mom, let's talk about it when we get back."
After the mother and son left, Chu Yunli looked at her son, who was standing upright and taller than her, stretched out her hand to straighten his collar and said, "Yu Hao, welcome home."
Looking at his mother in front of him and the young girl with vaguely familiar features beside him, Jiang Yuhao's eye circles suddenly turned red. He pulled her sleeves and choked with sobs, "We'll talk about it when we get back."
The two of them first went to the main courtyard to meet Jiang Qi, talked for two-quarters of an hour, and then went to greet Du Shi. Then Chu Yunli took him back to the courtyard. When he entered the gate, he couldn't help but smile and said, "
Grandma couldn’t dismantle this gate after all.”
"Your grandmother has been lying in bed for the past few years, never seeing anyone else, and her illness is getting worse. How can she think of tearing down the courtyard wall?"
Chu Yunli said as he led his brother and sister into the main room. Food had already been prepared on the table. When he saw the food, Jiang Yuhao smiled again, but with tears in his eyes, "Yu Jia still likes it just the same."
I eat meat, but fortunately I don’t gain weight.”
Jiang Yujia snorted softly, "Mom said I'm not afraid of eating meat. If you move more, you won't get fat."
In the past few years, mother and son have not had many meals together, and they all enjoy the warm atmosphere. After the meal, Chu Yunli asked with a smile, "Do you want to go back in the future? Can you go home often?"
Jiang Yuhao leaned on her lap, as if he had finished relaxing when he first learned martial arts, "My son has almost learned martial arts, we just want to see if he can be retained after the assessment... Mom, in the future, my son will definitely work hard to become someone you can rely on."
"
"As long as you live a comfortable life and can make up for the trouble by yourself, I'll be relieved." She looked at Jiang Yujia beside her, "The same goes for you. You have to pay attention to what you say and do. I can protect you when I'm here.
, when I'm not around, you have to make up for the mistakes you made and live a good life."
Jiang Yujia frowned, "Mom, why did you leave us? Don't say such things, I don't like to hear it."
Although she was criticized, Chu Yunli liked the child's temperament.
It's not the New Year yet, and Spring is still a few months away. Chu Yunli smiled and asked, "Yu Hao, do you want to read another book?"
Jiang Yuhao shook his head, "I want to visit your Ci'an Hall."
In recent years, Cian Tang has been established in various counties around the capital. There have been fewer beggars, and during the drought the year before last, many people were treated by giving porridge. The accounts of the past two years are all written by Chu Yunli and Jiang Yu.
The two of us watched it together.
The next morning, mother and son went out early in the morning. Jiang Yuhao escorted his mother and sister out of the capital on horseback.
Ci'an Hall is actually a very large village, with many divided courtyards, some of which are specially designed to accommodate women and children, but those who can work have to do some work every day, and we even saw a one-armed man carrying water. The brother and sister
After wandering around for a while, Jiang Yuhao said on the way back, "The emperor said that this Ci'an Hall has saved many people and has reduced a lot of troubles in the capital. Even in other counties, where there is a Ci'an Hall, petty theft is far away.
Far less than ordinary places without Ci’an Hall.”
"Mom, what you did is a great charity."
Of course Chu Yunli knows that as long as it is done well, her charity will be much greater.
Sometimes you don’t need to help people too much, maybe just a bowl of hot porridge can give people the courage to live.
After entering the inner city and passing by the street, the carriage suddenly stopped and the coachman reported, "Madam, there are many people in front of us and it is difficult to pass."
Chu Yunli opened the curtain and saw a wealthy young man raising the whip in his hand and whipping a woman on the ground, "Damn it, you still dare to run away, and you are not willing to follow me to enjoy the hot food and drink spicy food. You don't know how to appreciate me."
Please tell her my identity..."
The author has something to say: See you at nine o'clock in the evening.
