Chapter Seventy-One: A Proverb
After all, Granny Yi is old, and she can sleep for an hour or two at most in a night, and she is used to sleeping alone on weekdays, but today she has more Doudou around her, and it is even more difficult for her to fall asleep.
Looking at the little girl sleeping sweetly in her arms, Granny Yi's heart, which had not been soft for many years, became a pool of spring water.
Doudou was a little ambiguous when he said a few tricks just now, after all, neither of them made it clear that they wanted to learn martial arts, so it was okay to really say that they were going to give them cooking skills. But Granny Yi knows in her heart that although this little girl is also a little gluttonous cat, she is by no means a person who is greedy for appetite, she actually takes a fancy to her martial arts.
Before, she felt that she had an indescribable sense of familiarity with Doudou, but now this feeling is clearer, she is alive and well like herself decades ago, the same clever and cute, the same like to practice martial arts, and the same tenacity that does not stop until the goal is reached.
She was already alone many years ago, and she never thought that there would be any fetters left in this world, and it was easy for her to get rid of Doudou's entanglement, and it was very simple to send her back to the Yuan Mansion overnight, but she just indulged Doudou like this, and even had a lot of reluctance in her heart.
It would be nice if the identity of this little girl was simpler, even if she is an orphan without a father or mother, she has enough ability to make her live a good life. It's just that she was born in a high family, and it is not easy to be her master, although her father Yuan Zheng has never met, but he must not be easy to fool.
Before entering the Yuan Mansion, he must carefully check his identity, and she didn't want to mention the past for a long time, so she had to make it up again, which was really a headache. She reached out and gently stroked Doudou's little face, little girl, I hope you don't let me waste so much thought in vain.
Granny Yi easily had some sleepiness, but there was a sound of rustling outside the room, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and opened the door with a lit candlestick, it turned out to be a little fat man sitting on the ground not far from the door and sobbing quietly.
The sudden sound of the door opening scared the little fat man who was crying into hiccup, and he timidly raised his head to look at Granny Yi under the warm candlelight, and whispered, "Granny Yi, I'm sorry, I woke you up." ”
Granny Yi walked over and pulled him up, and asked softly, "It's so cold that you can't sleep in your room, why did you run out?"
The little fat man stretched out his head to look into the room, took Granny Yi's hand and walked aside, and he didn't whisper until the two were a little farther away: "Granny Yi, I haven't slept in a room alone since I was a child, I'm a little scared, and ...... I don't wash my face or take off my clothes...... I feel ......"
He is the only son of the Cheng family, and there are countless rich servants in the family, except for being excluded a few times because of his fatness since he was a child, it can be said that he has not suffered any grievances. In addition to studying hard every day, he didn't need to do anything at all, and it wasn't until this accident that he really realized how useless he was.
He was kidnapped and had no choice but to struggle indiscriminately, but Yuan'er, who was younger than himself and a girl, but not only could save himself but also had the ability to rescue him, and he did not blame him for being tired, and constantly comforted and encouraged him.
That's all, after all, people's abilities are high and low, and they can't be forced. What saddened him the most was that he went to the guest room later, only to find that he was not only timid and unable to do big things, but also couldn't even do the small things in life, which simply turned his self-confidence into ashes.
Granny Yi rubbed his head with pity, the children of rich and noble families are pampered a lot, but this chubby boy is not arrogant, he is really a rare good child.
"I heard the little girl call you Little Fat Brother, so what is your name?" Granny Yi pulled him into the ear room and sat down, and asked his name softly, in fact, she wanted to relax him a little.
"My name is Cheng Xiaofei, because I am fat, so Yuan'er calls me Little Fat Brother, mother-in-law, you can call me Xiaofei. Under the warm candlelight, the little fat man really swept away the decadence of Fang Cai, and he was much more relaxed.
"Xiaofei, do you think that the little girl is more capable than herself, so she is a little uncomfortable?" Granny Yi saw that the little fat man was a little embarrassed, and then said: "You are still young, and you can still sit down and chat with your mother-in-law quietly after experiencing such a terrible thing, you are already very brave, not everyone can be like Yuan'er, you also have your strengths." ”
"Mother-in-law, I know all this, Yuan'er is my only good friend, she is smart and brave, but she has a quick temper and a bit of a big temperament, I ...... I'm going to work harder, I won't be so stupid forever, and I'll let her help me every time. The little fat man's words were a little incompatible, but Granny Yi fully understood what he wanted to say.
People get along with each other, strong people will always seem to be more capable than others, but they often need the tolerance of others the most, the little fat man does not look as powerful as the little girl, but he uses his tolerance to maintain the long-term friendship between the two.
Early in the morning of the second day, the two children were still in their dreams, and Granny Yi personally went to the prefect's yamen, and when Doudou and the little fat man woke up, the four kidnappers had been taken away by the officials, and the people from the Yuan Mansion and the Cheng Mansion also rushed to Granny Yi's house to pick up their little master.
Granny Yi didn't go back to the Yuan Mansion with Doudou, people who have the ability are arrogant, she wants to be Doudou's teacher rather than a slave of the Yuan Mansion, this qiē has to wait for Lord Yuan to return to the house.
※※※※
Five days later, Yuan Zheng finally rushed back to Hangzhou, and he arrived with the news that Emperor Xuande was about to settle in Prince Yu Wenzhao and a holy decree to demote Yuan Zheng to Qingzhou Mansion in Shandong Province as the prefect.
The people of the Yuan Mansion who were full of joy to welcome Yuan Zheng and who could still laugh were all shocked by these two news, who was the emperor of the Yuwen family had nothing to do with them, the important thing was that their second master was demoted!
The second lord has been conscientious and conscientious in his post in Zhejiang for nine years, and others do not seek merit but seek no fault when they become officials, and the merits of the second lord are recorded in the hearts of all the people, is the emperor blind? Such a person not only does not promote the official but directly demotes from the second rank to the fourth grade, not to mention that Qingzhou and the rich Jiangnan cannot be compared at all!
This news is too hurtful, and everyone in the mansion is confused, and no one can even afford to talk to Yuan Zheng about the kidnapping of the second girl on the day of the Yuan Festival.
Gu Chao was even more angry, Yuwen Zhao and Yuan Zheng had an unusual relationship since childhood, she knew it, she thought that Yu Wen Zhao's ascension to the throne meant that Yuan Zheng was about to rise, and she would be able to return to the capital immediately, but she had expected that Yu Wen Zhao's villain actually put Yuan Zheng together.
Sure enough, she is a concubine who can't get on the stage, and she deserves not to be taken seriously by the emperor back then! She is confused, if the emperor really doesn't pay attention to it, how did Yu Wenzhao become the prince?
She suddenly remembered Yuan Xiang's words in the year when he left home, he said that he would become a smaller and smaller official in the future, is this just a prophecy......?
