In the evening, Yueyao led Ting to practice calligraphy in the study, and Mingzhu also came over. The candlelight in the room stretched the figures of the three men very long.

An hour later, Yue Yao instructed Ting Zheng: "I have been on the road for most of the day today, and I didn't sleep in the afternoon, go to bed early." ”

Tingzheng is seven years old, although he is a virtual age, but men and women are not seven years old, so Tingzheng lives in the front yard. Yue Yao sent Ting Zheng to the front yard, and talked to him for a long time before returning to the backyard.

Mingzhu walked over and whispered, "You're not angry. "It's like this every day, she is very uncomfortable, and she should not be embarrassed with Yueyao if she has nothing to do in the future.

Yue Yao chuckled, "I'm so stingy. It's late, you go to sleep. ”

Yueyao asked Xiang Wei: "Do you think it's good for me to practice before I go to bed?" "I don't know if it's because I hold too much of a pen, but my shoulders have been sore lately. If Yueyao wants to practice before going to bed, it may have some effect.

Xiang Wei chuckled: "If you want to practice, you can go, there is no time to practice." ”

Yue Yao was sweating profusely after practicing, and Xiang Wei shook her head beside her, which proved that this set of boxing techniques was still not proficient, if she was proficient, where would it be like this.

Yueyao sat on a chair and took a towel to wipe her sweat, and the drizzle fanned her beside her. Dudu Xiangwei sat on one side and ate this watermelon, so leisurely.

Yueyao looked at Xiang Wei and laughed, but she didn't eat with Xiang Wei, and said to the drizzle: "It's a hot day, you also go eat a piece of watermelon to cool off." "During this time, Yue Yao found that Xiang Wei was very delicious, as long as it was delicious, she liked it, and she was a foodie, where did she have the demeanor of a master. Fortunately, Yue Yao believed that Jingning Houfu would not lie to her, otherwise she would have to wonder if Xiang Wei was a master.

Drizzle also discovered that Xiang Wei didn't have any duty as a slave, for example, if there was something delicious to send over, she didn't care if the girl ate it or not, she enjoyed it first. Usually the girl doesn't call her, she either chats with people in the yard or stays in the room and never takes the initiative to do things.

Drizzle took another piece of sweet potato and handed it to Yueyao and said, "Girl, you can eat a piece too." ”

Yue Yao shook her head and said, "No need, you can eat!" "Yueyao rarely eats snacks at night except for supper, not even fruits.

Drizzle watched Xiang Wei eat half a watermelon at once, and kindly reminded: "Sister Xiang Wei, I'm going to sleep soon, it's not good to eat too much, save it for tomorrow!" ”

Xiang Wei waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's okay." ”

The drizzle is speechless, looking at the sky.

After Yue Yao finished bathing, she went back to the house, just lay down and got up again, and asked Xiang Wei, who was still in the house, "You said that you still make drugs, is it true?" ”

Xiang Wei smiled like a fox and asked, "What?" Who does the girl want to poison? ”

Yueyao doesn't beat around the bush with Xiang Wei, although Xiang Wei is not as amiable as Bai Yi, her mouth is also a little poor, of course, she is a little greedy, and people enjoy it, but Yueyao still chooses to believe her. Yue Yao said: "My younger brother has been in the Li Mansion all the time, and he hasn't gone out much, but he is not worried. I'm worried now about what to do when he grows up? You know what my brother looks like, and I'm worried that someone will beat him when he grows up. Look, can you help. Yueyao was a little embarrassed to say such things, so she said it in a messy manner and without any logic.

Xiang Wei looked at Yueyao a little, a girl in the boudoir could think so long-term. She has been exposed to the dark side of this society and knows very well how coveted such a beautiful child is. If you are a powerful person, you are naturally not afraid, but this child is powerless and powerless. In case those people really make a move, the sister and brother will have no choice but to accept their fate.

Xiang Wei smiled happily: "If you want to really protect your brother's safety from being coveted, you have to find a tough backer." Let me put poison on him to prevent myself from treating the symptoms but not the root cause. ”

Yue Yao smiled bitterly: "How can there be such a backer so easy to find?" "Those powerful people eat people and don't spit out bones, and if you want to find them as a backer, you have to pick up a layer of skin first.

Xiang Wei glanced at Yue Yao: "Didn't you already find a backer for Tingzheng?" What else are you going to look for? "Isn't the Li family just a backer, with Li Guoxun's ability, it is enough to protect Tingzheng.

Yue Yao was in a trance, she only felt that Li Guoxun could protect Tingzheng for a while, but she couldn't protect him for a lifetime, especially Tingzheng when he grew up.

Xiang Wei shook his head and said: "The Li family is a famous family, and Li Guoxun is already a member of the third grade, and with his ability, he may enter the cabinet in the future." If Ting Zheng can get Li Guoxin's sincere protection, Ting Zheng will have no worries for the rest of his life, but he has to let others know that Li Guoxin will protect Ting Zheng. ”

Yue Yao hurriedly said: "I heard Tingzheng say that Uncle Li treats him the same as he treats Li Han. I think Uncle Li also raised Tingzheng as a son. ”

Xiang Wei said with a smile: "You are doing a good job in this move of putting Tingzheng into the Li family, Tingzheng gets along with Li Guoxin and Mrs. Li every day, and after a long time, he will naturally have feelings, so what you have to do is to let Tingzheng stay in the Li family all the time, and let Li Guoxin and Mrs. Li treat Tingzheng as a son, and let the sons of the Li family also love Tingzheng as a brother, this is the way to have no worries." There are many good men in the capital, but they are all aimed at those who are powerless and powerless. As long as Tingzheng is protected by the Li family, those people will not fight Tingzheng's idea. ”

Yue Yao fell into deep thought when she heard this, and now let Tingzheng live in the Li Mansion all the time, because of his young age, his uncle naturally won't say anything, but when Tingzheng arrives, the eldest uncle will definitely not let him.

Thinking of this, a fierce light flashed in Yue Yao's eyes, even if her uncle didn't allow her, she would let Tingzheng live in the Li Mansion. Lianfu itself is a wolf's den, and if they can sell themselves, they will definitely be able to sell Tingzheng. The Li family is Tingzheng's safe place, and Tingzheng must be allowed to stay in the Li family.

Xiang Wei paused for a moment and said: "Girl, if you are afraid and worried, you can let Tingzheng sell more with Mingzhu, as long as Mingzhu likes Tingzheng, it is also a good thing for Tingzheng." There are still not many people in the capital who dare not to give face to Jingning Houfu. ”

Yue Yao said gratefully, "Thank you, Xiang Wei." "Yueyao used to think about things and solve things alone, but now that she finally has someone to discuss, Yueyao's heart is a little more settled.

Xiang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "What a stupid girl." "Before, Xiang Wei felt that Yueyao was thoughtful and a very scheming person. But after getting along for so long, Xiang Wei found that Yueyao was actually different from what she imagined, Yueyao was actually a very simple person, and she could forget to sleep and eat for the things she liked.

As a daughter**, she has no temper, she is very good to her maid and mother-in-law, and she is a very kind person. Even sometimes Xiang Wei thinks that Yueyao is a little cute, and she always chokes Mingzhu for the maid in the yard, which shows that this child is a very kind person.

At that time, she understood that Yueyao's painstaking planning was actually just to protect herself, not what she thought was a person who was born to calculate.

Yue Yao smiled lightly: "It's late, you go to sleep!" When Xiang Wei got up, Yueyao realized that she had overlooked a question: "Xiang Wei, you said that Uncle Li can join the cabinet in the future, so Uncle Li may have the opportunity to be the first assistant in the future?" ”

Xiang Wei smiled and said, "Li Guoxun has this potential. However, whether you can enter the cabinet or not, sometimes it depends on luck. "Things in officialdom are changing rapidly, and no one is sure what the future holds.

Yue Yao was silent.

The next day, Yue Yao got up and said in surprise: "My hands are not sore today." "It seems that a set of punches before going to bed last night is still very useful, and I will have to stick to it every day in the future.

Xiang Wei said: "In the future, you will punch once a day before going to bed." ”

As soon as Yue Yao came out of the courtyard to prepare for practice, she saw Luo Mingzhu coming out of the house. Yue Yao was very surprised, this sun came out in the west, and Mingzhu was able to get up so early.

Mingzhu made a call, Mingzhu got up so early today is Bai Yi said that Tingzheng got up at dawn and recited in the yard, Mingzhu was embarrassed to continue sleeping when he heard it.

In fact, the women of this era are going to get up very early, but unfortunately Mingzhu is not among them.

Yue Yao greeted Mingzhu and began to practice, and after practicing, Tingzheng was led over by Bai Yi for breakfast.

Ting Zheng looked at Yueyao, who was sweating, and said, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yue Yao smiled: "My sister was practicing just now. ”

When Ting Zheng heard this, he immediately shouted, "Sister, didn't you say that I can learn martial arts?" Sister, when can I learn martial arts? "My sister has learned martial arts, and he has to learn it too.

Mingzhu looked at the interaction between the two siblings and said with a smile: "If you want to learn martial arts, you have to eat first." "She's hungry, okay.

After breakfast, Mingzhu took Yueyao's two sisters and brothers to the horse farm.

The horse farm is not far from the yard, two quarters of an hour away. The horse farm is very simple, it is simply surrounded by wood, and there are no horses on the horse farm at this time.

Mingzhu smiled: "This place is relatively simple, and next time we take you to the racecourse in the capital, it is more magnificent and beautiful than here." ”

Yueyao remembered a very important question at this time: "The horse farms are so simple, is there a horse here?" "What are they doing here.

Bai Yi said with a smile: "Miss Yueyao, there are horses here, but they are all high-headed horses, not suitable for beginners. ”

Beginners like Yueyao and Tingzheng must use a mare or pony with a gentle temperament, and cannot ride a high-headed horse, otherwise it is easy to fall off. Falling off a horse is no small feat.

Yue Yao shook her head helplessly at Mingzhu, who looked frustrated, "Can you think more about things in the future, you don't have to let us run in vain." ”

Mingzhu was also very aggrieved, she used to go to the horse farm to be prepared. was about to get angry and scold Bai Yi but saw Yue Yao staring at her, Mingzhu didn't dare to scold Bai Yi, and she was so suffocated that she wanted to hurt herself.

Although she couldn't learn to ride a horse, since she came out, Yueyao didn't want to go back so soon, so the group went to the mountains to see the scenery.

Mingzhu watched Yueyao talk to Ting Zheng all the time, and quoted allusions from time to time, with a very strange expression. Mingzhu couldn't figure out what Yue Yao was thinking? She has been here several times on this mountain, and Yueyao has climbed for more than two months, and she has not been able to get tired of seeing it for so long, and she doesn't know what to see.

Mingzhu didn't want to accompany Yueyao to climb the mountain every day, so she turned around and whispered to Bai Yi: "Let the people from the mansion send two horses over immediately." ”

Before the horse arrived, Tingzheng shouted that he wanted to go back.

After staying in the mountains for three days, Tingzheng was already very satisfied, he couldn't stay with his sister for a day before, but this time he made an exception, and said happily: "Sister, I have to go back tomorrow." Otherwise, you won't be able to complete your homework. ”

Mingzhu was embarrassed when she heard this.

Yueyao touched Tingzheng's head, and she was very relieved that her younger brother was sensible.

When Mingzhu sent Tingzheng to the carriage, he didn't forget to say: "Wait for the next time, I will definitely prepare the horse for you." ”

After three days of getting along, Ting Zheng didn't start to reject Mingzhu so much, and said with a smile at the moment: "Okay." ”

Mingzhu was dazzled by Tingzheng's smile, and couldn't help but step forward and pinch Tingzheng's face again. This feels so good, cough, I can't touch it twice.

Yue Yao knew that Mingzhu was a good color, and if she liked Ning Lixuan, she must have taken a fancy to that skin, cough, why didn't she find Mingzhu's weakness!

After Ting Zheng left, Mingzhu was very strange that Yueyao no longer went out to pick up the scenery. Yue Yao couldn't say that she didn't want to run into Shen Conghao, Yue Yao said vaguely: "I climb the mountain every day, I'm tired, I want to rest for a few days, and I'll go back in a few days." ”

Mingzhu didn't have so much thought, and she thought it was like this when Yueyao said this. When it came to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the people from Jingning Houfu came to pick up Mingzhu back, but Mingzhu was reluctant to go back.

Mingzhu used all kinds of reasons to delay returning to the Hou Mansion, until the grandmother beside Mrs. Jingning came over in September and said, "Girl, the Queen Mother misses you, let the girl go to the palace in two days." "The Queen Mother gave a decree, and Mingzhu didn't have the courage to refuse.

After practicing calligraphy that night, the two were admiring the moon in the courtyard, and Mingzhu looked at Yueyao and said, "When you return to the capital, you will live in our mansion, and we will be together every day at that time." Mingzhu wanted to take Yueyao to live in the Hou Mansion, so that she would not be alone.

After hearing this, Yueyao refused without thinking about it: "No, your mother's health is not good, I am hard, in case I restrain your mother, not only will I become a sinner, but you will also have a reputation for unfilial piety." ”

Mingzhu remembered that as soon as she met that day, she said that Yueyao was a broom star, and she was red in front of her. But soon she turned her anger around: "It must be the root of the tongue that the people of the Bai family chewed in front of my mother, these stirring spirits." "Not only does Bai Mingzhu not like the Bai family, but even Jingning Hou Shizi doesn't like the Bai family, but it's a pity that the Bai family has always taken care of the Bai family. As a child, there is no way, I can't stop my mother from seeing her relatives, and Jing Ninghou doesn't care about these trivial things, just don't go too far, Jing Ninghou just turns a blind eye to it.

Bai Yi said with a smile: "Girl, I can take Yueyao to the Hou Mansion to talk to you in the future." "I don't live in the Hou Mansion, and I didn't say I won't go to the Hou Mansion, these are two concepts.

Mingzhu stared at Yueyao and said, "I will invite you over in the future, you have to come." ”

Yueyao smiled and said, "Okay, but it's three or five days a month, don't ask every day." Don't be lazy when you go back to the mansion, I'll have to check it then? "Going three or five days a month can supervise the progress of Mingzhu's learning.

Mingzhu snorted: "You know how to underestimate people." ”

When Yueyao came, she only brought a few packages and books, and when she went back, there were a lot of things, especially the paintings made in the past two months were packed in a box, plus an extra box of books. Of course, the biggest change is the addition of Xiang Wei, a big living person.
