Chapter 52: Aren't You Afraid She'll Never Come Again?
Chu Ziyan was lying on the bed in Wutong Garden, thinking about what to do tomorrow. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Before I could dream, I heard a noise outside the window.
"Who?"
"I, Mei Xiyu. ”
"How did you come here and still find my room. Chu Ziyan was a little strange, how could these people like to come to their own house at night.
"I just wanted to come and see how you slept these two days, and after stopping benzoin, are you not used to it? ”
Chu Ziyan put on her shoes, approved a coat and walked down, walked to the door and picked Mei Xiyu in.
"The sleep was a little light, but it was fine. ”
Mei Xiyu handed her a bottle and said, "This is the antidote I concocted, and the residual poison on your body needs to be cleaned up." Take twice daily before meals. I'll come back again in about five days. When the time comes, I'll come back again to check it out. ”
"Thank you. ”
"You're welcome," Mei Xiyu said after handing her the medicine, "Many people in Taifu Mansion use Bai Ji incense to shop things, and they know a few people. There's a new guy in the room, and I might bring you food in the future. If you have any news to deliver, tell him. He will bring it out. ”
"The white shopkeeper is really careful. ”
"He?" Mei Xiyu said with some teasingness, "He is very good at business, and he said that he can get a lot of news from you." ”
"That's what he said?" Chu Ziyan asked again, "He didn't ask anything else?"
Mei Xiyu shook her head and said, "It's summer, and there are a lot of people who need to repel insects, or Titian's." So, the business has been so good lately that he doesn't have time to talk about anything else. ”
"Oh, then I get it. ”
"It's late, it's time for you to rest. It's time for me to go, too. ”
That night, Chu Ziyan slept early, and when she got up the next day, she didn't go anywhere. Because, her grandmother began to supervise her schoolwork.
What kind of person is her grandmother, Mrs. Taifu, who can be a first-class person, even the first emperor praised her as a heroine. She has made friends with many dignitaries and nobles, and has seen a lot of the world.
In the past few years, she didn't care about Chu Ziyan because she had never taken the initiative to get close. And she is really not like words, she didn't pass the test for anything as simple as in the women's school.
"Your mother gave you to me for a month, and during this month, you have to follow me to learn things. You know what?"
"Yes. ”
"From today onwards, your girls will all go back, and you have to take care of your own food and clothing, can you do it?"
Chu Ziyan's eyes widened, obviously she didn't expect that there would be this one. In her previous life, although she didn't have a good time, she was used to being served from beginning to end. I never thought I could take care of everything by myself.
It is said that it is a next-generation parent, and Mrs. Gu still likes this granddaughter who does not come often, but looks like she is very young. Therefore, when she knew that she had a reputation as an idiot in the academy, Mrs. Gu was very angry. Not only angry with his daughter and granddaughter, but also angry with himself.
It's just a little girl, what can she understand. That old lady Xu didn't know how to manage it, and she could manage it like this. At that time, Gu Changqing and Chu Yan had some things after marriage, and the two families had a very unpleasant quarrel in some places. Therefore, there is not much contact between the two families, and Mrs. Gu can't bow her head to take her granddaughter to her side to raise her.
But after so long, can you still teach it? Old Lady Gu didn't know the bottom of her heart, so she thought of this way. There is no one to serve, take care of everything by yourself, if you can't even do this. Then find a good family to marry as soon as possible, and after giving birth to a child, raise it well.
"Grandmother, Yan'er has never taken care of everything by herself since she was a child. ……”
Old Lady Gu picked up the teacup and listened quietly, did she really want to find an excuse to refuse this proposal? That's fine, now think about who you are promising her to, okay. Brother Hao is the same age as her, but ......
Chu Ziyan said a few words, and then finally said, "So, grandmother, Yan'er still wants to try it herself." ”
"Try what?" Old Lady Gu felt that she was having some auditory hallucinations.
"Take care of everything yourself, and you don't have to wait for anyone else. ”
After hearing this, Old Lady Gu laughed. Her face was round and fleshy, and she didn't look like someone in her fifties. She wore a purple satin shoulder dress and a horse-faced skirt embroidered with orchids of the same color. He wears only a hosta on his head.
However, judging from the color of this hosta, it is not an ordinary price.
"Okay, then from today onwards, you can live in Songhe Hall. Old lady Gu continued: "Your grandfather recently went to the palace on the outskirts of Beijing, and he won't be able to come back for a while, so you should accompany my old woman." ”
"Well, grandmother. ”
Mrs. Gu handed her a copy of "Official Proverbs" and said, "It's still early today, I'll go out to fight for a while, and you can read this book here and memorize it before noon." ”
Chu Ziyan looked at this book, couldn't help frowning, and said, "Grandmother, why does Yan'er want to read this book?"
"It's not looking, it's backing. Mrs. Gu said: "The person you marry in the future must be an official of the imperial court, and as an official of the imperial court, you naturally have to know how to be an official." ”
"That's also a matter for the future husband. ”
"It is said that the husband is the sky, but this day is not always a time when the sky is clear, and there will be a time of haze. If as a wife and only know how to rely on her husband's snort, then you can really only be a person who can be abandoned by him at any time. ”
Chu Ziyan said, "Then what kind of wife should you be?"
"You can memorize these first. ”
"Let's go, let's go to the garden. ”
"Yes. ”
Old Mrs. Gu immediately walked out of the room with the grandmother beside her, and only Chu Ziyan was left sitting on the chair in the room.
She opened the book and looked at the difficult words on it, "There are only three things to do in the way of being an official, which is clear, prudent, and diligent." …… Take care of the heart and do things, and the precept is at the beginning, and you must not ignore it. By the envoys, with the power of wisdom. Hundreds of ends, fortunately spared, the damage has been a lot, if not for the beginning of the healing. ……”
It's a bit difficult to pronounce these words, let alone memorize them.
Chu Ziyan began to regret coming here, she originally thought that she could learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from her cousin, and she would be able to perform if she went to the women's school. However, today, my cousin and aunt Wang went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and if there is something over there, it is estimated that they will stay for a few days.
If I had known this, I should have stayed at home and been comfortable. The current Chu Ziyan regrets that she didn't do it at the beginning, but she has agreed to it, and she has to do it hard. She picked up the book again and began to read, "The Law of Being an Official......
"Madam, why did you leave Miss Yan'er in the room to endorse it, she finally came once, you treated her like this, aren't you afraid that she will never come to see you again?" (To be continued.) )
