Chapter 018: Planning
Watching them laugh, Zhou Mingshan also smiled, as if there was a warm sun shining in her heart, fluffy and soft!
"Girl, you look so good when you smile!" Lu Yun stared at Zhou Mingshan stupidly, like a child seeing the candy he wanted, or beautiful clothes, his eyes were hooked, as if he wanted to swallow Zhou Mingshan!
Zhou Mingshan couldn't help laughing, grabbed a handful of candy for her, asked Frangipani to take her out, and began to concentrate on embroidering the purse in her hand.
On this day, when she finally finished embroidering a semicircular crow blue embroidered with bamboo leaves with dark patterns in her purse, and showed off at her mother's place to make her jealous, a family member came to report that the two sons of her uncle's family were coming in these two days!
Yuan was surprised and delighted, and was surprised that the eldest brother had sent a message saying that he would come over with his nephews, not only for the next year's examination, but also for his wife's birthday. At this time, no one came, and I don't know what happened; the good thing is that finally my mother's family is coming, and she is no longer alone in the capital.
In addition to being excited, the Yuan family didn't care whether Zhou Mingshan had embroidered a purse for her, and cheered up all his spirits, tidying up the house for a while, taking care of food and clothing for a while, and notifying the third master and his family for a while, and he was very busy.
Zhou Mingshan sat on the chair with a slight smile, holding her chin to watch her mother turn around the regiments commanded by Zangrui, Shuyun and Weiyu, she was in a good mood, and said with a bad heart: "Mother, is there any blessing that can help?"
Yuan Shi didn't reply in a hurry: "Don't be, you just stay there quietly!"
Zhou Mingshan was funny, but also sad.
Most girls as old as her start helping adults take care of their household affairs early. Because her mother doesn't care about the house, there are few people in their three rooms, and her mother has always spoiled her and didn't let her worry about it. Occasionally, she helped out out of interest, but the result was either the wrong monthly money, or she broke the utensils, and she always helped out and got worse and worse.
Although she felt sorry for her mother's hard work, she was not interested, and secondly, she didn't have much to do for her to practice, and over time, she threw it away more and more!
At this moment, thinking of the past, Zhou Mingshan felt more and more about his failure in his previous life!
"Why don't you let Frangipani come back to help you!" Zhou Mingshan built again, time is tight at this time, and when she is free, she must pick up all these things again in order to help her mother share her worries.
Yuan Shi was stunned, turned to Zhou Mingshan and smiled lovingly: "Frangipani is with you, my mother can rest assured! It's okay, my mother is just a little busy at this time!"
Zhou Mingshan knew that the Yuan family was lamenting that no one was around her mother's family, and even when her mother-in-law had her birthday, only two nephews came from Shandong!
Zhou Mingshan also sighed secretly, her mother's wish was destined to be unfulfilled, in her previous life, because of her affairs, the eldest uncle left the capital in a hurry with the two cousins and the eldest aunt after the examination, as far as she knew, the two cousins were not successful!
I hope that this time my cousins can get what they want, in this case, whether they are running for the election of the Gilis or waiting for the expatriate, they will stay in the capital for a long time, and my mother will definitely be very happy!
Thinking of this, Zhou Mingshan's heart moved, can she help?
I racked my brains to reminisce for a long time, but I didn't come up with anything useful!
In her previous life, she didn't worry about these things at all, and she was locked in the house to reflect on the events at the birthday banquet just after that time. Although her father was in high school, she didn't know anything about the exam!
No, no, Zhou Mingshan thought about it carefully!
I still know a little bit, after she entered the palace, she seemed to have overheard a new palace concubine talk about her father who served as the chief examiner back then!
Who is that person? Zhou Mingshan patted his head, I don't know how many times he hated himself in his previous life, it really didn't matter to himself!
Yuan thought that Zhou Mingshan was bored sitting alone, so he cared: "Fu'er, what's wrong with you?
That's right! Zhou Mingshan instantly blessed her soul, she doesn't remember, she can ask others!
"Mother, you're so nice! Then I'll go!" Zhou Mingshan was so excited that she ran over and gave Yuan a hug, and walked out quickly.
"Girl, girl, slow down, it's cold outside, and I haven't put on a cloak yet!" Frangipani, who followed the servant, hurriedly trotted behind and went out of the main room.
Hearing Frangipani's call, Zhou Mingshan realized her carelessness, slowed down and waited for her, while thinking about who to ask.
The sisters are all people who are locked up in the inner house all day long, and they must be the same as her, who don't know anything.
The eldest brother Mingjing, like the eldest uncle, likes to play with knives and sticks since he was a child, and he is definitely not interested in these, so he asks in vain!
The second brother Mingzhang was forced to study by the second aunt all day long, but he often let the little guys around him pretend to be reading, and ran out to play by himself.
Among the remaining younger brothers, the third brother is worried about eating all day long, and the fourth brother, fifth brother and sixth brother are too young, not to mention!
As for the uncles, the uncle is far away at the border, the second uncle is mixed in the inner house all day long, and the fourth uncle is busy taking care of the housework......
In this way, my father is the only one who can have anything to do with this matter!
But do you really want to ask your father, Zhou Mingshan was a little hesitant!
Although her father doted on her, he was surprisingly stubborn and strict in things such as sage books, thinking that although girls can read and write, they should not do what they should not do, and do not care about what they should not do!
I still remember when she was a child, once a small servant in her father's study secretly took the paper that her father practiced calligraphy and writing to wrap things, and after being found out by her father, she sold it for 20 boards!
Her father was furious at that time, and she still remembers it clearly!
My father scolded while beating, and the green tendons on his forehead popped out, saying that he was filthy and disrespectful to the sages, and that he was a heinous person, and that the Bodhisattva could not spare him, and that the family could not tolerate such a bold slave!
At that time, she didn't understand why her father had such a big temper, she just felt that her father was so scared that she didn't eat or write with him for several days!
Later, after her mother told her about the importance of respecting words and paper, she realized that it was powerful!
At this time, what she wants to ask is the major event of the scientific examination, and it also involves female dependents, and there are so many people in the Hanlin Academy, and my father probably can't say it clearly!
But who else can you ask but your father?
Her grandfather has a wide range of experience, but she can't find anyone for a while, not to mention that she has always been a little worried about her grandfather!
It's a pity that none of their relatives seem to have anything to do with the appointment and dismissal of officials, otherwise it would be convenient!
Thinking of this, Zhou Mingshan's heart moved, she went back to her room, and immediately called Hongyun and gave her some words before letting her leave.
