Chapter 7: Father and Brother

Lu Ning is from Rongxi Hall, originally a first-class maid next to the eldest lady, and Red Sleeves is from Songhe Temple, originally a second-class maid next to Mrs. Tai. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The two of them arrived at Diancang Courtyard and followed Cheng Zimo, the fifth lady, and naturally they were all first-class maids, but if they were counted seriously, they would be demoted now.

Mrs. Tai's beating, Liu's mother's punishment, the people in the mansion who looked like spirits naturally changed the direction of the wind, and they didn't dare to deduct Miss Five's things at will.

Eat well, sleep well, temporary worries seem to be gone, and the mood naturally improves, Zi Mo accepts the current facts, and is determined to work hard to live here, naturally, his complexion is getting better day by day, and his complexion, which was still a little yellow, gradually became white and ruddy, because of the young capital, it looked like a peeled egg from a distance.

Mrs. Tai gradually began to walk around the house, and the number of times everyone asked for peace was also seen several times more than before, and every day to say hello to an ancestor and grandson was a picture of kindness, Zi Mo occasionally said something pleasing to the occasion, but more often she just sat silently on the side, smiling obediently and watching them without speaking.

The days came to mid-September in a flash, as early as a few days ago, the eldest lady sent a few sprinklers to stay in the Diancang Courtyard, there were more people, and the Diancang Courtyard also seemed interesting for a while, the flowers and plants were taken care of, and the yard was also sorted out with a new look, green grass, yellow flowers, quite interesting to Yashi.

These days, Zi Mo's body will also be almost raised, there were no fitness places and equipment in ancient times, so she developed a good habit of walking slowly, every morning before resting at night, she has to walk around the yard a few times, and even take a few little maids to take turns to follow her and accompany her. Over time, a room full of people have developed such a habit. Sometimes if she forgets this, Lu Ning will come up to her and ask, "Miss, won't you walk a few laps today?" It made her cry and laugh.

After Zi Mo's body was recovered, it seemed that everyone tacitly forgot to ask her to move back to Aunt Lan's Lotus Fragrance Courtyard to live together.

Zi Mo guessed that the eldest lady probably felt that the location of Diancang Courtyard was relatively biased, and it was much better to place her as a concubine out of sight than in Lianxiang Courtyard. The two wives probably felt that the courtyard was originally the old lady's yard, and when it came to letting her live with a little concubine, it not only took care of her, but also made the subordinates dare not snub with her, which was regarded as secretly beating the eldest lady.

Zi Mo didn't care, she was still happy and comfortable, but Aunt Lan and Zi Nuo had some small complaints, but they also asked her to comfort her.

"It's time for the old family to come back these days, right?" This morning, Mrs. Tai suddenly asked about the eldest master Cheng Rui.

When Mrs. Cheng was young, she was discerning and helped the third prince, who was unknown at the time, that is, the current saint, to establish the merit of the dragon and get the name of the Marquis of Xingning. Since his death, this official hat has naturally fallen on the head of the eldest master Cheng Rui. The second master, Cheng Zhi, went to the imperial examination, took the exam, and under Cheng Rui's guidance, he was released, and took his family to the Jiangnan area to be the prefect.

Jiangnan has a lot of oil and water, Zi Mo said in his heart, the relationship between the two brothers of the Cheng family seems to be not bad, and the eldest master is afraid that it took a lot of effort to deal with it.

"Yes, I wrote from yesterday that I was already on my way, and I will be home in a few days." The eldest lady couldn't help but smile when she talked about the eldest master, "It was said that the second brother also asked him to bring back a lot of local tuyi, which was full of a large car, and even he was slowed down in a hurry." ”

The eldest man Cheng Rui went out to run errands, passed by Jiangnan, and visited his brother-in-law.

Mrs. Tai was very happy to hear the news of her youngest son: "Zhi'er has always been the most filial. ”

"Great, great, the second uncle must have brought us a lot of good things." Cheng Ziyun said happily.

"You, you know how to play!" The eldest lady said with a smile.

Cheng Ziyun stuck out her tongue and grimaced.

Zi Mo's gaze swept over Cheng Ziyun, and he felt a little envious in his heart.

The young girl is good, she is raised innocent, lively and cute.

"Speaking of which, the eldest brother is coming back in a few days." Cheng Zixue reminded on the side.

"Yes, yes, Brother Hang'er is coming back." Mrs. Tai smiled and said, "It's just right now, come back and wash the dust for them." ”

Hearing this, the eldest lady also showed a happy expression on her face.

The eldest young master Cheng Zihang is the eldest son and grandson of Cheng Mansion, he entered the Sihai Academy at the age of ten to study, and he can only go home once every three months, although he only lives for two or three days, but he is very happy when he returns home.

Not for anything else, just to say that Cheng Zihang has relied on his own ability to enter the Four Seas Academy since he was a child, it is worth everyone in Cheng Mansion to be happy and proud for more than half a year.

Speaking of this Sihai Academy, its reputation is well-known in the capital.

The academy is built on the edge of the Sihai Mountain, far away from the bazaar, away from the crowd, standing out from the mountains and green trees, quite a bit of independence in the world. There is only one gentleman in the academy, and he is given the honorific name - Kong Lao, which is the treasure of the Sihai Academy.

Kong Lao was the emperor of the former dynasty, the great Confucian of the world, after returning to his hometown, he lived in seclusion in Sihai Mountain and founded the Sihai Academy, but in half a year, the name of the Sihai Academy resounded throughout the capital.

Not for anything else, among the students handed over by Kong Lao are either the title of the gold list, or the battlefield meritorious service, all in all, there is a champion in the line.

Since then, the threshold of Sihai Academy has been about to be broken by the world.

But Kong Lao is eccentric, and there is only one condition for accepting apprentices: not to look at the background, not to look at the background, but only to look at the edge. If you are in the eye, you can enter the college. If you don't see it, let you be the prince of the dynasty, the royal family and nobles, ignore them and close the door. Even today's saints have to give three points of courtesy.

When Zi Mo heard this, he secretly lowered his eyes.

In the past few days, she has heard Zinuo say that Mr. Xixi in the house is very strict, and if she reads the wrong book, she will be beaten up. Moreover, whenever he talks about going to school, Zinuo looks listless, but the light in his eyes can't be stopped when he listens to Sihai Academy.

It's not a bad thing for a teacher to be strict, but it's just that being too harsh and harsh on students is inevitably too rigid. No matter how motivated the students are, they can't withstand the blows again and again.

Besides, she didn't believe that the eldest lady would be so kind to plan a future for a concubine. She had to do something for Zinuo.

Sihai Academy......

She thought of Zinuo's shining eyes and the envy in her tone.

Zinuo is also six years old this year, men and women are seven years old, and in another year he will move out of Aunt Lan's courtyard alone. At that time, without her and Aunt Lan always by her side, she is really a thousand worried.

It seems that she has to find a way to let Zinuo study in another place next year, away from the control of the eldest lady.
