Chapter 2 The Lady Trains the Old Mother and the Aunt Picks Up the Niece
Wu's sudden reprimand shocked Mama Li was slightly stunned, and then she actually knelt down with a heavy thud, the sound really made everyone who listened to it feel painful, and her already serious expression was even more stiff at this time: "Madame atonement, it was the old slave who trespassed, the old slave said the wrong thing, please punish the lady."

And so it is again!
Wu Shi silently took a deep breath and looked coldly at the woman who was kneeling straight in front of him.
These private topics of the heirs of the boudoir in the big family, which of the real close relatives are not avoided in private, will be mentioned, such a large public, and even say it in front of the child, and the serious mother-in-law who pays attention to face does not do this, not to mention that it is just a grandmother who was born in a family!
This Mama Li is her mother-in-law's nursing sister, and she has been instructed by her mother-in-law to take care of her husband and brothers, so she really thinks that she is a serious elder of their family.
In the past, when her eldest sister was in charge of the Houfu, this old woman didn't dare to squeak more, after she gave birth to a daughter and gradually took charge of the family, she became more and more involved in the shelf, and the Wu family really endured this old woman for a long time!
When Mama Li suddenly knelt down, Yao Xuan also secretly rolled her eyes in her heart, but her mother was here, and it was not her turn to speak, so Yao Xuan was just obediently covered with her ears and not moving, and was handled by the Wu family.
There was a moment of silence in the atmosphere in the hall, and Wu was about to reprimand Mama Li before letting her go down, but Marquis Yao strode into the hall, as if he didn't see Mama Li, he went straight to Wu's and hugged Yao Xuan from her arms: "Is dinner ready?" I haven't eaten much today. β
"Master Hou, put down the group and look at the ashes on this body." Wu didn't mention Mama Li, and got up funny to take Yao Xuan, but was avoided by Yao Hou Ye raising his daughter.
"My daughter won't dislike me, isn't it?" Yao Hou Ye looked at Yao Xuan with a smile, as if he didn't feel the aggrieved gaze staring at him at all.
"Yes!" Yao Xuan responded crisply, and after being put on the ground by Yao Houye, she took the initiative to stand on tiptoe to hug his waist, and smiled and surrounded her father to prevent her mother from catching her, looking naΓ―ve and naughty.
Wu's don't look weak, in fact, his physique is good, he grabbed his daughter's collar quickly, and took it back into his arms: "Look at your skin, Yifan, take the girl back to the house to tidy up, and eat directly after a while." β
After Yao Xuan was held in her arms by her eldest girl, she was quiet, waved her hand to her father and mother with a smile, and went back to her room to rest first.
Yao Xuan has not moved out of the main courtyard now, and she has no brothers, so the boudoir is located in the east wing of the main courtyard.
She got up early in the morning today to say hello to her handsome father, and she was the mascot for a whole day, and her small body was also very tired.
However, Yao Xuan didn't lie down, she beckoned the maid Ertong and whispered a command, and then closed her eyes and recuperated.
Ertong went out for a while, and then brought back the news that Yao Xuan wanted to know, and approached her ear with a smile: "Girl, just now the Hou Ye didn't ask Mama Li why she was kneeling, but only told Madam that today is a good day, don't lose your interest, let Mama Li go back and think about it behind closed doors for two days, and the rest, there will be no punishment." β
Yao Xuan sneered when she heard this, and waved her hand to let the two go down.
What Shuai Dad said seemed to be interceding for Mama Li, but in fact it was her fault, Mama Li could only thank her for it, who let her kneel first, if her aunt knew that she had swept away her baby brother's happiness, she might not be punished, so this time Mama Li could only honestly think about the past.
Yao Xuan doesn't know how to respect the old and love the young if her identity has changed, like the old housekeeper next to his father, Yao Xuan has always been very respectful and calls the housekeeper grandpa, but this Mama Li loves filial piety too much, and she can't see her position clearly.
I think when she was just over two years old, the old woman didn't say that the solar term had not arrived, and she was not allowed to change her thin clothes, Yao Xuan made a fuss about not wearing the thick clothes given by Mama Li, and people knelt down with a bang, their faces were black or something, and they said angrily that they were old and useless, and they were sorry for the old lady's entrustment.
If this is really a child, she must be scared, Yao Xuan was really angry that time, she pretended to cry and pretended to be frightened, and her father and mother cried and laughed around her, and she made this old woman really kneel for two hours.
Later, it came to her aunt, and her aunt also sent someone to beat Mama Li for ten boards. After that, the man did not dare to do this trick with her, and rarely even came to her.
It's a pity that when she was a child, she was able to teach Mama Li so much through her young ignorance, but her parents couldn't, although in this era, the cats and dogs around the elders have to be respected, but Mama Li, an old man who was deeply trusted and entrusted by the main mother, does have to be respected.
But now that her aunt is relieved, if this Mama Li is no longer interesting, there will really be no good results.
Yao Xuan rested here for a quarter of an hour, and the big girl beside the Wu family came to invite someone, Yao Xuan didn't think about what she had or didn't, and went to the main room for dinner.
In the early morning of the next day, because Princess Yao had instructed Yao Xuan to sleep enough and get up again, although the Prince's Mansion sent someone over very early, he was just waiting in the living room and was not in a hurry to see him.
After Yao Xuan got up from a full night's sleep, dressed properly, and had breakfast with her parents, the leading servant woman entered the main courtyard to say goodbye.
Although Princess Yao said that she had prepared things for Yao Xuan, it was impossible for Yao Xuan to come to the door without bringing anything.
There are also people who go to serve, Yifan and Ertong are two big maids, four second-class maids bring Siping, who is good at medicine, and the other is a third-class maid who runs errands Seven Stars.
Marquis Yao took advantage of his birthday yesterday to send his sister back to the palace without entering the palace for a reason, if he went to send his daughter to the house and didn't come to see him, it would be really rude, so he used the excuse of going out on the pretext that he had something to do, and only sent the convoy of people from the palace out of the Hou Mansion, so he reluctantly said goodbye to his daughter and did not follow again.
Yao Xuan wore this time and space, it can be said that the world she is familiar with is a diversion of the long river of history, here is different from the early Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong is more wise and wise, the court institutions are more mature and perfect, the heirs are also very sage, when the territory is the largest, it is nearly twice as large as the Tang Dynasty that Yao Xuan knows, and there is no Wu Hou and no Wu Zhou, the Tang Dynasty has inherited thirteen generations, only to make the mountains and rivers broken because of the unscrupulous descendants, and was replaced by the Great Zhou Dynasty of the palace family.
Although the Zhou Dynasty resisted foreign invasion in that chaotic era, the land of Shenzhou did not reproduce the tragedy of the five chaotic China before the Sui Dynasty, and was not too deeply troubled by the barbarians, but the unification of China was beyond its strength, but it only occupied the most and best cities and lands in the Central Plains, and there were several large and small countries around, and the border passes have never been really peaceful.
mentioned these because Yao Xuan was fortunate to be born in the most powerful and stable Zhou Dynasty among the countries, and the customs and etiquette of the Great Zhou were not much different from the ancient times in her impression, which avoided her logical confusion in terms of common sense.
For example, the prince's mansion can use palace maids and chamberlains, the important buildings in the front yard of the palace can be called the palace, and for example, the gate of the prince's mansion can be opened three out of five, and she, as the princess's maiden junior, the marquis's concubine, the carriage enters from the side door of the palace, and the family and the carriage go around the side door......
As a junior of the backhouse, Yao Xuan naturally couldn't see the solemn halls in the front yard of the palace, and she didn't even open the curtain of the carriage, until after the second door changed the sedan chair, the aunt's bridal grandmother who welcomed her in all the way took the initiative to lift the sedan curtain, and introduced the scenery along the way to her with a friendly smile.
The sedan chair walked all the way for about two quarters of an hour before arriving at the courtyard where Princess Yao now lives.
Because it is a step-concubine, Yaohou Mansion showed that he did not live in the courtyard of the former princess after being given marriage, and has shown his respect for the former princess.
When Yao Xuan's sedan chair entered the courtyard gate, the sound of the announcement had already been heard, and four other mothers-in-law who were waiting in the courtyard carried the sedan chair, and it did not stop until it was in front of the steps of the main door.
Yao Xuan helped the big maid beside Princess Yao to get out of the sedan chair, and saw the palace maids waiting outside the door bowing to her, and only bowed and retreated after she walked by.
For such a child as her, the expressions of these servants and maids are full of deference, without a trace of contempt, from small to big, her aunt's position in this palace is still quite stable.
Yao Xuan has lived in the Hou Mansion for five or six years, and the rules of the ancient aristocratic family are already very well understood and used to, but the population of the Hou Mansion is simple, and her father has no concubines to live with, a family of three and Meimei, and there is a lot less fighting between the subordinates, all Yao Xuan's understanding of those deep palace backyards is mostly from novels and movies and television in her previous life. At this time, she naturally responded with twelve points of spirit, so as not to lose the face of the Hou Mansion and her aunt.
Yao Xuan was led by the maid through the hall and the west outer room, directly into the west inner room facing the master bedroom on the north side, through the bead curtain, it can be seen that Princess Yao is sitting on the edge of the couch in front of the window to tease the child, the white and tender little fat baby is lying on the soft couch, is writhing as if she wants to climb to Princess Yao, but it has not moved anywhere.
After the maid waiting by the door lifted the bead curtain, Yao Xuan walked in and was about to salute, but was stopped by Princess Yao's repeated waiver, Yao Xuan just smiled and called her aunt, and followed Princess Yao's hand into her arms.
