Because Yueyao was painting, everyone was waiting, so lunch was relatively late. After lunch, Mr. Yushan led the three disciples to send the guests away.

After the guests left, Mr. Yushan gave Yueyao a box of books: "These are all treasures of Weishi over the years, and they may be good for you." "It's much more valuable than gold, silver, jewelry, and so on.

Yue Yao made a big bow respectfully.

Mr. Yushan said with a smile: "Zichang, if there is something in the future, you can ask Zizhong or Ziyu to help." ”

Zhou Xi remembered the previous incident of Yueyao and the Shen family's divorce, and immediately understood the meaning of Mr. Yushan's words, the teacher wanted them to protect their junior sister.

Min Jun smiled and said, "Senior sister, if someone bullies you in the future, just tell me and Senior Brother, we will definitely help you out." ”

Yue Yao bowed deeply to all three of them, expressing her gratitude, whether she could use it in the future or not, but having this heart was worthy of her gratitude.

Yueyao thought that Mr. Yushan still had something to say to her, but she didn't expect Mr. Yushan to drive people away, "You've been busy for most of the day, you're tired, go back!" If there is anything in the future painting, you can write to me! "Although she has the status of master and apprentice, Yueyao is everyone's lady after all, and it is impossible to always go out. Of course, the main thing is that Mr. Yushan feels that there is nothing to teach Yueyao.

Yue Yao didn't say much, but said before leaving, "Teacher, I have a painting, which is Sun Wei's "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest". After a pause, he said, "Teacher, it's genuine." ”

Mr. Yushan smiled: "You take it first, and when I have time, I will go over and see it." Mr. Yushan hopes that Yueyao can also paint paintings that will last forever.

Yueyao went down with her mother-in-law.

After waiting for Yue Yao to leave, Mr. Yushan said to the two disciples: "Yue Yao has no father and no mother, and outsiders will inevitably bully her when they see her weakness. In the future, you should take care of her more, so that she will suffer less grievances. "Mr. Yushan also feels sorry for Yueyao, because the Shen family is a scholarly family, and there are no rules and etiquette. There is also Su Fu, who bullied Yueyao, an orphan girl, because of her great power, which is really shameless to the extreme. Fortunately, Yueyao has a strong mind, if she were an ordinary girl, she might really end up depressed.

Min Jun nodded and said, "Don't worry, teacher, we will take care of our junior sister more in the future." Teacher, are you going to leave the capital? "If the teacher stays in the capital, there is no need to tell them this.

Mr. Yushan nodded, "It's not decided yet." Zizhong, Ziyu, your junior sister is highly talented, has excellent understanding, perseverance and perseverance, and is willing to study hard, but unfortunately she has a fatal weakness, and this weakness is that she is a daughter. If there is no one to protect you, the road will become more and more difficult to walk in the future. Yue Yao has to find a new family after she withdraws, but he is afraid that he doesn't want to marry when he sees Yue Yao's attitude. A girl who is like a flower and has a good reputation outside, even if she doesn't want to get married, she can't help but worry about people outside. Mr. Yushan didn't want to be ruined by those with bad intentions. He had such high expectations for Yueyao, but he didn't want to ruin the villain's heart.

Mr. Yushan told the two disciples because he was often absent from the capital. If he was in the capital, he would definitely be able to protect Yueyao.

Zhou Xi finally expressed his position at this time, "Teacher, don't worry, I and the second junior brother can take care of the junior sister." "It's not his big words, it's no problem to protect Yueyao thoroughly.

Mr. Tamayama nodded in satisfaction. The second apprentice can take care of his daily life, but Yue Yao still needs to rely on the big apprentice for anything.

After Yueyao got into the carriage, the whole person finally relaxed. Don't look at her being very calm just now, in fact, she has been playing the drum in her heart, and she is afraid that she will not do well and make any jokes, but fortunately she completed this apprenticeship safely.

Xiang Wei chuckled beside her: "I thought the girl was really not nervous at all. ”

Yue Yao smiled and wiped her hands with a handkerchief, then leaned back on the carriage, "How can you not be nervous." I never dreamed that Mr. Tamayama would let the world know that I was his student. "Accepting a woman as a closed disciple will inevitably be criticized, so although Mr. Wen knew that she had a talent for painting, he was reluctant to accept her as a student.

Xiang Wei laughed at Yueyao's lack of interest.

Yue Yao happily, such a big happy event today, no matter what Xiang Wei said, she would not be angry. Yueyao was a little tired, leaning on the quilt and glaring.

Just when Drizzle thought that Yueyao was asleep, she saw Yueyao open her eyes and asked, "Xiang Wei, I didn't dream just now, I really worshipped Mr. Yushan as a teacher, right?" ”

Xiang Wei couldn't laugh, "If you're afraid that this is a dream, then I'll pinch you." "It's all come to this point and I think I'm dreaming, this psychological quality is really bad.

Yue Yao smiled and continued to squint. Xiang Wei listened to Yueyao's even breathing, and knew that Yueyao was asleep, so she took a blanket and gently covered Yueyao's body.

Drizzle whispered: "Sister Xiang Wei, don't laugh at the girl in the future." Don't you know, Mr. Wen was reluctant to accept the girl as an apprentice, saying that the girl was a woman, but he did not accept the girl as an apprentice, and the girl cried several times because of this. Later, our lord and wife also found a few famous painters and wanted the girl to apprentice, but the girl was unwilling. This time, Mr. Yushan was able to accept the girl as a closed disciple, and the reason why the girl was nervous was also the shadow caused by that incident. ”

Xiang Wei scolded with a smile: "I know, I just want her to relax." "To be able to worship the most prestigious Mr. Yushan in the world as a teacher, everyone has to be excited.

Xiang Wei actually felt that Yue Yao was a little arrogant. In fact, according to Xiang Wei, even if Yueyao does not apprentice, she will definitely have a place in the painting world in the future. It was only a matter of time before he reached the heights of Mr. Tamayama.

Xiang Wei has always wanted to change Yueyao's temperament, and with her years of hard work, Yueyao has indeed changed a lot in some aspects, such as not being the same bun as before. It's just that the nature of the country is easy to change, but Yueyao's nature can't be changed no matter how hard he tries.

Xiang Wei thought about a lot of things, thought about it, and fell asleep.

When Yueyao returned to Mafu, she was welcomed by the housekeeper to the study in the front yard. Ma Chengteng is waiting for her in the front yard! Ma Chengteng went on a business trip in advance and deliberately waited for Yueyao in the mansion.

Mr. Yushan didn't invite Ma Chengteng for this apprenticeship, Yueyao originally wanted to fight for it, but Ma Chengteng refused. The reason for not inviting him must be because he is not qualified enough, he wants to go through Yueyao, and all the masters who come at that time will be the masters of the world, and he will actually lose face if he squeezes in.

Yueyao went to the study and told Ma Chengteng about the apprenticeship. Ma Chengteng knew that Zhou Xi and Min Jun were disciples of Mr. Yushan, so it was not surprising. Unexpectedly, Mr. Yushan would let Zhou Xi and Min Jun take care of Yueyao.

Ma Chengteng was very satisfied, "Yueyao, you have to work harder in the future." ”

After the uncle and nephew finished speaking, Yueyao went to the backyard main room again, where there were still a few people waiting for her!

Zhuang Ruolan's expression was relatively calm. She has long known that Mr. Yushan instructed Yueyao's painting skills, although she did not worship the teacher, but the two are essentially masters and apprentices, and now the worship ceremony is just to announce to the world.

Tang's mood is very complicated, and it can be said that there are five flavors. Tang is a merchant girl, and she knows very well the nobility of those literati. The literati are the most particular, but Mr. Yushan accepted Yueyao as a closed disciple despite criticism, which shows that Mr. Yushan attaches great importance to Yueyao.

Compared with the complexity of the Tang family, Ma Linlin admired Yue Yao very much, "Yue Yao, are there many people coming to your apprenticeship today?" "There must be a lot of people who have to go to Ma Linlin.

Yue Yao shook her head and said, "I didn't go to many people, all of them were a few of my husband's close friends, as well as my two senior brothers." ”

Zhuang Ruolan looked puzzled, "Who is your senior brother?" "This is mainly because Mr. Yushan is relatively low-key, if it weren't for the reason for the incident this time, Mr. Yushan would not have posted with great fanfare to tell the world that he was going to accept Yueyao as a closed disciple.

Yueyao said: "Senior brother Zhou Xi, the word Zizhong, alias Xunyangzi; The second senior brother Min Jun, the word is fishing, alias Xiaoyaozi. ”

Zhuang Ruolan was a little surprised, "Zhou Xi? "As far as she knows, the head of the Cheng'en Mansion is called Zhou Xi. It's just that Zhou Xi is already forty years away, so he shouldn't be Yueyao's senior brother!

Xiang Wei said with a smile: "Girl, you can't make people more and more confused when you talk like this. Madam, Zhou Xi is the eldest lord of the Chengen Mansion, the current uncle of the country; Min Jun is the grandson of the emperor Min University, and Min Jun's sister is the princess of Zhuangjun Wang. "Tell Zhuang Ruolan who Min Jun is, and it is better to directly say the female dependents who are directly related to them, which is more intuitive.

Before Zhuang Ruolan could speak, Ma Linlin lost her voice first: "Cousin, then Zhou Yue can't call you my aunt?" "Zhou Yue is Zhou Xi's second daughter, and Ma Linlin has seen her at the banquet a few times before.

Zhuang Ruolan laughed softly: "You guys get along with each other, regardless of generation, just age." "Zhou Xi's age is about the same as Ma Chengteng, and they are both officials in the court, which is chaotic according to the generation.

Tang looked at Yueyao, a little envious, and easily got in touch with the emperor's relatives. Yueyao's luck is really not ordinary.

Ma Linlin didn't think about it so long-term, she was happy that Yueyao could get such two senior brothers, "Yueyao, you have such two powerful senior brothers now, will those people not dare to bully you anymore in the future." The matter of retiring from her relatives made Ma Linlin believe that the people of the Shen family were not good things, and she participated in the banquet a few days ago and ridiculed Shen Pinlan fiercely. Although she was punished by Zhuang Ruolan afterwards, she did not regret it.

Yue Yao smiled: "My senior brother is very good to me. "Yueyao received a lot of gifts today, and these gifts are not light.

Zhuang Ruolan said: "Big girl, you can't say these words anymore in the future." You will marry someone else's family in a few months, and your husband's family is not the same as your mother's family. Before you speak, you have to think carefully about what you should say, what you should say, and what you shouldn't say. "In fact, it can't be said who is right and who is wrong in this matter, even if the Shen family knows that Mr. Yushan will accept Yueyao as a closed disciple, they can't withstand the pressure of the Su family. However, with such a big help, it will be easier to say that she will be in person in the future.

Ma Linlin admitted her mistake very well, "Sister-in-law, I know." ”

Yue Yao was a little tired, and after saying a few words, she went back to Begonia Garden.

After Tang and Ma Linlin left, Caiyun hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Madam, I think the second lady's eyes are wrong when she looks at Miss Yao later. ”

Zhuang Ruolan also saw Tang's expression just now, she could probably guess what Tang was thinking, now that Yueyao has withdrawn, the top priority is to set a good family again. The Tang family was probably thinking about this problem, "The Tang family is a smart person, the Tang family is a merchant family, and even if Yue Yao retires, the Tang family can't climb high." "If the Tang family wants to be a parent, they must be looking for the right family.

Tang Shi was moved when he heard Yueyao say about Zhou Xi's identity just now, such a good backer, if he can rely on it, it is really promising.

Su Zhu hesitated: "Madam, can Miss Yao look up to the young master?" As far as she thinks, Miss Yao is arrogant and may not be able to look at it.

Tang said with a smile: "This matter will be discussed after next year's spring." If the third cousin can be successful, I can open my mouth to say kiss. The cousin Tang said was her aunt's son Zhu Hang, who was nineteen years old this year and was famous. The Zhu family is a wealthy family, and Zhu Hang is also working hard. The people of the Zhu family have not given Zhu Hang a marriage until now, just because they want to wait for Zhu Hang to be admitted to the Jinshi and get a good family with help. Although Yueyao is an orphan girl, with Mr. Yushan, a teacher and the Ma family, it is enough to help.

As soon as Yueyao took a breath, she saw the drizzle hurriedly coming over and said, "Girl, someone is coming from the palace, it was the Queen Mother who sent someone." Drizzle was as excited as if she had been beaten with the news. In the past two years, the girl has received a lot of things from the palace, but this is the first time that the Queen Mother has personally issued an edict.

Yueyao happened to have no change of clothes, and took someone to the front hall at the moment.

The two eunuchs finished reading the Queen Mother's message. The Queen Mother announced Yueyao to enter the palace, and she didn't say anything else. Yueyao didn't think much about it, she just thought that Mingzhu missed her, so she begged the Queen Mother to come forward.

Zhuang Ruolan hurriedly asked the big housekeeper Ma Yuan to send the two fathers-in-law out. The big butler stuffed a thick red envelope into the two fathers-in-law on the way. Although his master is a member of the three products, this is the first time.

Zhuang Ruolan said to Yueyao: "Yueyao, there are a lot of things you need to pay attention to when entering the palace, and I will let Mama talk to you about it later." In the past two years, the palace has sent some things to Yueyao from time to time, although it is in the name of Mingzhu, but it must have been approved by the Queen Mother. This time, the Queen Mother wanted to see Yueyao, probably because Yueyao was accepted as a closed disciple by Mr. Yushan.

When Tang got the news that Yueyao was going to enter the palace, his heart became more and more warm. In the past two years, the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion has taken care of Yueyao, and she has seen it in her eyes, "It seems that I have to tell my aunt about this matter as soon as possible." "If my aunt agrees, she has to talk to her father-in-law, otherwise it will be inappropriate to set someone else.

Su Zhu had a different opinion, "Madam, I think this matter is still slowing down." With Miss Yao's current appearance, it is impossible to say kiss immediately, or wait for the young master to be admitted to the Jinshi, and then we will tell the eldest lady about it. Let the eldest lady talk to Miss Yao first, and if Miss Yao is relieved, we will talk to the master again. Su Zhu felt that Yue Yao was a person with a very good idea, if she mentioned this matter to the master without her consent, and then the master agreed Miss Yao disagreed, it would be inappropriate.

Tang thought for a moment, "Well, you're right. ”
