She couldn't help but speak, urging her mother to continue speaking to her.

Xie Shi no longer deliberately adjusted her appetite, and said again: "Who knows, your grandmother actually sued the old man Sù Wang, this matter started because of her, and she will solve it." And then...... She actually packed up her things and went to the capital with the internal official. Although Old Man Wang was reluctant, he had no choice but to send someone to Beijing with her. What happened after that, no one knows except the old man and your grandmother. But when your grandmother came back, she said that it was all right, and went back to her room and slept for a day and a night. After that, he got up like no one else, and two months later, he married into the Lu family. ”

"And the crown prince married the crown princess who had been set long ago half a year later...... It is the current Empress Zheng, who is your grandmother's cousin. ”

Although Lu Binrou was a little excited when she heard this, she still didn't ignore the doubts in her heart, and asked: "Mother, please forgive Rourou for criticizing the sin of the elders, I don't understand this matter, after my grandmother saved the prince, even if she didn't know it at the time, she should have known his identity later, why didn't my grandmother tell the family?" It can't really be ...... Leave ...... Also, why didn't my grandmother marry the crown prince, but married my grandfather, the emperor's order cannot be violated, what happened to my grandmother in Beijing? ”

After hearing this, Xie Shi was silent for a while, and said: "You are too young, you are far away from that time, and you grew up in the north, so you don't know what happened back then. The rebels back then were not as vulnerable as they were later said, and what kind of life Jiangnan lived in those three years is known only to those who have experienced it. Later, for some reasons, the imperial court has not allowed people to talk too much, in fact, at that time, the massacre of villages and even cities in Jiangnan occurred, and many places in Jiangnan were devastated, and everyone was in danger. The land of abundance since ancient times was desolate at that time, and it has only slowly eased up in recent years. ”

"Your grandmother was at the end of the rebellion when she rescued the prince, but the rebels were still building up power in Jiangnan, and no one knew who the final victor would be. If the crown prince is exiled from the palace and the matter hidden in the Wang family is known by the rebels, it is really uncertain whether the Wang family can resist the pressure and protect him - after all, it is a century-old family with a great business, and it is under the noses of the rebels who are eyeing it, and the head of the Wang family must consider the safety of hundreds of people in the family. This is one of them; ”

"Besides, even if Old Man Wang knows about it and decides to stand on the emperor's side to keep the crown prince, it will be a gamble with the entire family, your grandmother doesn't want to see such a situation happen, so she chose to be silent, and would rather risk having her reputation ruined, and she also took it herself."

Lu Binrou only felt sad in her heart when she heard this, the burden of a family's safety, but her grandmother, a frail woman who was a teenager at the time, chose to bear it completely. hid the prince's fear and worry, and later heard the anger of the unbearable rumors, the grievances and sadness of being misunderstood and wronged by her family, and the fear that the elders would deal with her family law......

In those days, I don't know how my grandmother carried it.

She couldn't help muttering, "Grandmother is like this...... Did she regret it later? ”

Xie Shi sighed and said in a low voice: "I don't know, she didn't say it, no one knows." But there is no way to do it...... When it came to saving the prince, if it were me, I might have made the same choice as your grandmother. The daughter of the Jiangnan family, three from the four virtues, quiet and virtuous, is important, but the most important thing is to focus on the family relatives. ”

"But others can't compare to your grandmother, and if I were replaced, I might choose to die when the rumors spread and the elders were angry, so as to preserve the reputation of myself and my family. Or, after the emperor's secret decree, he will give in and marry the prince, after all, the rumors will eventually subside, and the daughter-in-law of the heavenly family, there are a few who dare to talk about it at will! What's more, although the one who was promised to your grandmother was the position of a side concubine, with the royal family's background, she would definitely not be able to stand the grievances after entering the palace. Even when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, he may be crowned queen - this is the compensation of the emperor and the crown prince to your grandmother. ”

"However, if your grandmother really chooses one of these paths, the harmony between husband and wife, the filial piety of children and grandchildren, and the blessing of peace and tranquility in the second half of your life will be gone. Therefore, your grandmother is a rare woman who has a vision, courage, and integrity, and dares to act. ”

After Lu Binrou said goodbye to her mother and returned to the room, she was still in a state of fugue outside the world. Xinyue and Muyang should have also seen that something was wrong with her, and they were a little more careful in their words.

Lu Binrou reacted and smiled secretly in her heart, she was really new, and she couldn't figure out her temperament. If she was plain, when she saw her like this, she would have laughed at her a long time ago.

To say that Mrs. Xie of Weiyuan Marquis, the most dissatisfied with her daughter is not that she is inconsistent on the outside, seemingly dignified but a little rebellious inside, nor is it that she is not good at female celebrity talent and average, but in her heart, she seems to be born with no concept of dignity and inferiority.

For example, she treats the maids not only on the surface, but really treats them as the same people as herself in her heart.

Xie is not a bad person, and she treats servants very well, but she really doesn't understand how her daughter's mind is formed.

She had a headache for this matter, if Rou'er was a man, it might be a good thing to be so open-minded. But she is a daughter, and she is from such a background, and she is destined to marry into the backyard of the deep house to be the housewife in the future. With such thoughts, how can you hold those servants with control.

Suyi is the personal maid that Xie personally chose for Rou'er, what she values is that she is honest and polite, careful, and older than Rou'er, so that Rou'er will not play with her.

But she looked at it coldly in private, even if this is the kind of person, in Rou'er's small courtyard, he is much more presumptuous than before.

Xie also tried to let her daughter watch her deal with the servants, but the Lu family's rules are too good, there has been no major event for many years, and the people below are just small means, even if she has the intention to punish her more heavily, it is not good to be too much.

I remember that Lu Binrou, who was not yet nine years old, didn't say anything when she watched from the side, but said privately to her mother with some disapproval: "You were originally a fair person, but today's punishment is a little inappropriate." Although unreasonable rules should be broken, I see that the original rewards and punishments are very fair, and it is very inappropriate for you to increase them so privately. You can't abuse your power just because they're not as powerful as you, and if you're so unruly, they'll always follow the same example. ”

Xie Shi was so stern by her little adult-like appearance that he didn't know whether to be angry or funny.

She reprimanded her daughter with a straight face: "Mother is the head of the house, and it is the right of the housemother to punish the next person." Mother just wants you to understand, not to mention today's small punishment, it is to sell them, which is also the freedom and right of mothers. And you, where did you learn to talk to your mother like this, and where did you learn the rules that you teach you on weekdays! ”

Lu Binrou's chest straightened and said, "They were also raised by their parents, but their family was miserable, so they were sold to other people's homes as slaves." That's also taking money to work, and it shouldn't be looked down upon. But the rules in this world pay attention to birth and respect, and Rou'er also understands that Rou'er also knows that her strength can't change these, but Rou'er thinks that at least the master of others should have a standard in his heart, with clear rewards and punishments, so that people who do things can also do their best. ”

"As for Rou'er's confrontation with you...... Grandmother and mother have taught Rou'er to have her own decisions when encountering things, and Rou'er feels that her mother is a person who can speak her heart, so she will tell you what she thinks. ”

Xie Shi was shocked in his heart, and felt that although his daughter's idea was a little deviant, it was not unreasonable. It's just that...... Fortunately, Rou'er still knows the truth of judging the situation, and she will know it when she chooses to tell herself this in private.

She was puzzled and helpless, how did her daughter have such thoughts, she had always thought that she was a child, and she didn't want her to come into contact with the things behind the light. When did my daughter actually know that her strength was not enough to change reality, and she actually had the concept of equality in the world!

Actually, I want to talk about the reason...... Even if Xie is a very conscientious mother and has never relaxed her teaching of Lu Binrou's etiquette rules since she was a child, when she was in the capital, she couldn't stop Mrs. Wang from getting close to her only granddaughter (of course, she was happy to see it); When he arrived in the border city, he couldn't stop his husband, who had never been close to his children, from tying up six or seven-year-old Lu Binrou as a strange thing every day.

So, when she didn't know it, Mrs. Lu's concept of a master-servant family formed because of some things in her early years had deeply affected Lu Binrou. Later, Lu Binrou was led by his father and those in the army, and it was deepened to the point that no matter where the hero was born, the prince and the prince Xiangning had a kind of world harmony.

If Mrs. Weiyuan Marquis wants to blame, she blames herself, throwing a child with a character in the formative period to such a group of people who are incompatible with the current elite circle. And I still feel that my daughter is still young and does not pay attention to the education of "thought......

Because of these reasons, Lu Binrou has always been reluctant to accept too many maids to serve.

The border city is not more hierarchical than the Central Plains, and people don't pay much attention to this kind of thing. Moreover, the army of the Marquis of Weiyuan was praised for treating all generals and soldiers equally and sharing weal and woe. Everyone saw that even the serious girls of the Lu family were so simple, and there were only one or two personal maids around them, and they were full of praise for the Lu family.

Xie was so praised that his heart was overjoyed, and he couldn't resist his daughter, so he went with his daughter.
