In the early morning of the next day, the first touch of fish belly white appeared in the sky, and the morning reading sound of the students sounded in the "Songxi Academy", which was loud and pleasant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the "Green Bamboo Garden", Xu Wanzhen was awakened by the first ray of morning light and refreshed. After washing, he walked to the upper room with Sang Zi. In the courtyard, I met Liu's mother holding the sleepy-eyed Xu Wenyu.

Xu Wenyu was excited for a day yesterday, after all, a five-year-old child had not slept enough after a night's sleep. But Mrs. Xu, who has passed away, has strict requirements for her children, unless she is sick and can't get out of bed or the elders speak, and the morning and dusk of the elders must not be saved. Although she is dead, the habit is still being maintained.

Looking at Xu Wenyu, who was in a daze and didn't even know where to go, Xu Wan couldn't help but feel funny. In place of Liu's mother, I took his hand. Xu Wenyu felt that someone had changed, raised his eyes and glanced at it, and when he saw that it was Sister A, he closed his eyes more confidently and boldly.

The two entered the upper room, and Mrs. Xu had already gotten up.

The Lin family arranged for lotus incense, and breakfast was delivered early in the morning, and Yulu placed it on the small table on the soft couch. There is a basket of soup dumplings, a plate of poria cake, a rouge goose breast, three bowls of japonica rice porridge, and a bird's nest white fungus soup, which looks delicate and delicious, with appropriate meat and vegetarian combinations, soft and glutinous and easy to reduce, all of which are suitable meals for the elderly and children, and are steaming.

Xu Wanzhen took off her cloak and handed it to Sang Zi, jokingly: "Grandmother, today's breakfast is appetizing!"

Old Madam Xu knew that she was joking with the Lin family, but she didn't say anything, and she didn't scold it, so she smiled: "You monkey, you talk a lot." If you have an appetite, eat more. Seeing Xu Wenyu holding Xu Wanzhen's right hand, dozing by himself, he felt funny: "I was overly energetic yesterday, and I didn't wake up at this point." ”

Xu Wanzhen hugged Xu Wenyu to the couch, and said with a warm smile: "Yu'er is growing her body, and sleeping more is good." It doesn't matter if you eat it after a while. ”

"You spoil him. Mrs. Xu said, but she helped Xu Wenyu take off her shoes and put a blanket on him.

Breakfast has always been more casual, and both of them sat down on the soft couch and ate. After breakfast, after purifying her mouth, Xu Wanzhen remembered something and asked, "By the way, grandmother." Yesterday I forgot to ask you, who is the lady Wu who served her great-grandfather? Could it be my great-grandfather's aunt?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "This lady Wu has a rather tortuous origin. She was originally the daughter of Wu Yi, the director of the Ministry of Rites, and she was married at the age of sixteen, and she finished all three books and six appointments, and when she was about to get married, her fiancé died in an accident and was widowed. But the husband's family is extremely tough, saying that Wu Niangzi has a hard life, and she has killed her husband, and she wants to marry her back and do a secret marriage. ”

Xu Wanzhen almost exclaimed in surprise, and was afraid of waking Xu Wenyu, so she covered her mouth with her hand and said softly: "Secret marriage?!

"Yes," Mrs. Xu nodded, and continued: "So, Mrs. Wu's husband plans to sink her in the pond first, and then hold a secret marriage." ”

"It's too much. The head of the Ministry of Rites is also an official of the imperial court. Xu Wanzhen was indignant, when she came to the Gaomang Dynasty, she had heard about the tragic fate of many women. There was Han Runiang in the front, and then there were those women in Yangzhou who were abducted and ruined by Lin Jiabao for no reason, and now I heard a Wu Niangzi. Is a woman really like duckweed?

Her husband's family is one of the four pillars of the founding of the country, the Liu family of the Pingguo Mansion. Although he is not a blood relative, he is not something that a head of the Ministry of Rites can afford to provoke. Wu Yi also fought and ran for her daughter's life, but ran into walls everywhere. Wu Niangzi was forced to be helpless, and she didn't want to affect her father, so she escaped alone. Flee to the vicinity of Pine Creek Academy, where you were rescued by your great-grandfather. Later, the Liu family brought people to catch up and ask for people from the academy, and your great-grandfather sent them back with a sentence of 'Wu Niangzi is a student of the academy'. ”

Xu Wan really laughed when she heard it, her great-grandfather didn't even bother to think about an excuse, and the Liu family was slapped in the face alive. asked: "This Liu family, won't you just give up?"

"Of course not, the Liu family's family style is not quiet, the children are corrupt, and the evil slaves are bullying. I have done a lot of evil things, and I am arrogant, and I have never met someone who does not give face. immediately go back to ask the prince of Pingguo to stand up for them. Speaking of this, Mrs. Xu felt funny: "As a result, guess what your great-grandfather said?"

"What do you say?" Xu Wan was really curious about what happened next.

"Your great-grandfather said, don't say that the prince of Pingguo, even if the prince of Pingguo comes in person, the emperor is the same. You want to sink this woman alive, and heaven will not tolerate it. Did she lose her virginity? Can she have sexual immorality? The prince of Pingguo was speechless, and at the end he added: 'What kind of bullshit reason is a hard life!'"

Xu Wanzhen smiled and said, "I didn't expect that my great-grandfather, such an elegant person, would also curse." ”

Mrs. Xu said: "Zhen'er, you don't know, my father's temperament is extremely protective. As long as it is someone he values, it is a shelter that does not ask for reasons. Later, the prince of Pingguo went back in disgrace, and the 'Songxi Academy' was opened with the tacit consent of the first emperor, who dared to come here to make trouble? The Liu family later released cruel words, saying that if Wu Niangzi took a step out of the door of the academy, don't blame them for being unkind. ”

This is also too deceitful, Xu Wanzhen was indignant in her chest, and asked, "What about later?"

"Later, Wu Niangzi really hasn't left the academy for more than ten years. ”

"Isn't that equivalent to being imprisoned in a living circle?" Xu Wanzhen said angrily.

"Fortunately, Mrs. Wu is very adaptable to the life of the academy. For your great-grandfather, from the very beginning of life-saving kindness, after getting along for a long time, I was impressed by my father's talent and learning, and gradually turned into admiration. Although her father did not talk about the love between men and women, her temperament was also pleasing and she was happy to accompany her. As children, we are happy to see that our father has been lonely and widowed for many years, and that there is a woman who can accompany him for the rest of his life. But after all, he was red-faced and white-haired, in order to avoid gossip, Wu Niangzi did not officially enter the door, and the housekeeper lady who was his father appeared beside him, served him, and accompanied him. ”

"I see. Xu Wanzhen recalled yesterday's situation, although there is a big age difference between her great-grandfather and Wu Niangzi, there is a tacit understanding that outsiders can't get into. I didn't expect that in this dynasty, I could also see platonic love, and Xu Wanzhen's heart was hit hard. It turns out that love has nothing to do with dynasties or age, the important thing is to meet the right person at the right time.

So, do I also have the right to pursue free love? Xu Wanzhen couldn't help but be a little apprehensive.

Xu Wenyu, who was asleep on the side, rubbed his eyes and woke up, and cried out in a milky voice: "Sister, grandmother?"

Xu Wanzhen woke up from her thoughts and said, "Yu'er is awake?" and instructed Liu's mother to bring up the breakfast that was hot on the stove just now.

Xu Wenyu was already hungry at this time, so he picked up a soup bag and stuffed it into his mouth. Xu Wanzhen hurriedly snatched it down, angry and funny, and said, "This is a soup dumpling, Yu'er is careful to burn her mouth." ”

Xu Wenyu stuck out his tongue mischievously, took a piece of Poria cake, and ate it with japonica rice porridge.
