Chapter 12: Grandchildren

In the old lady's courtyard, Chang Runzhi was initially worried.

But after two days of peace, she completely put her heart back.

Although the old lady is strict with the rules, she is not harsh on her subordinates. Her daily routine is very regular, as long as she understands it thoroughly, she is very handy in serving her.

After all, although the old lady is there, she is in good spirits, and she doesn't need to be carefully waited for all the time.

Every day, the old lady woke up. After washing, she will warm up in the house for a while and get some sleep. At three o'clock, she got up again and walked slowly in the courtyard for a while.

In this short time, the next person will come to report what materials are in the kitchen, and the old lady will order her to eat two snacks and dishes in the morning and lunch according to the materials.

At the beginning of the hour, it was the time for the old lady to worship the Buddha, and it was not until three o'clock in the morning that Xiao Han came to ask for peace.

Then Xiao Han waited for the old lady to have breakfast and go to the toilet.

After Xiao Han left, the sky was basically bright.

After dawn, the old lady would read a book for a while, and when she was tired of reading, she would talk to Chang Runzhi for a while. Of course, most of it was the old lady who said, Chang Runzhi listened.

After lunch, the old lady would walk around the yard and ask if anything was going on in the house, and listen to the maids tell a few jokes.

After eating, the old lady went back to the house to take a nap for half an hour, and after getting up, she continued to worship the Buddha until dinner.

After dinner, the old lady would chat with Chang Runzhi for a while, talk to her about the ancients, and teach her the way to run a family and the virtues of being a woman.

So when all is calculated, when Chang Runzhi and the old lady can talk, it is an early morning and a daily income. The total time spent talking is no more than an hour.

But in less than an hour, Chang Runzhi has benefited a lot.

The head of a family of Zhong Ming Ding Food needs to have foresight and courage, be able to maintain the stability of the family, and be able to lead the family forward.

The old lady is undoubtedly such a person.

Although the time she has been teaching Chang Runzhi is still very short, it can be imagined that when the time goes by, Chang Runzhi will not be able to learn less from her.

This day, Runzhi accompanied the old lady to dinner, and after the dishes were removed, she helped the old lady back to the room.

"Your eldest sister and second sister have also been by my side for a while."

The old lady sighed lightly: "Both of them are very smart people. ”

Chang Runzhi thought of the two women in his memory, and he had to admire the old lady for teaching people.

"Mu Zhi is the eldest daughter, and she was born to sacrifice for the interests of the family. She understood this at a very young age, so she was strict with herself. Fortunately, although she married into the royal family, she married a good one, and the backyard was not so troublesome, which was her luck and the result of her hard work. ”

Chang Runzhi nodded.

"Qinzhi, it's a concubine, and the house doesn't have any requirements for her. But she has only excelled in learning since she was a child, and she can enter the palace as a female official for a year, and her knowledge is better than that of ordinary women. She chose a husband who was from an average background but was very good, and now she is living a good life, and she can see her position clearly and know how to plan for herself. ”

Chang Runzhi still nodded.

"What about you?"

The old lady paused, but raised her eyes to look at Chang Runzhi.

"Old Lady ......"

Chang Runzhi was slightly stunned, thought about the life of the original owner, and had to admit that the old lady had just said something, which was really sharp.

She thought about it for a while and replied honestly: "The eldest sister and the second sister's lifelong events are decided by the old lady, but when I say kiss, the old lady is sick, which shows that my luck is not very good; Marrying into the Fang family, and letting Mrs. Fang handle it, this is because I didn't recognize my position clearly, and blindly backed down; When Fang Shuozhang wanted to take a concubine, I didn't resist, because the relationship between husband and wife became more and more stiff, this is because I didn't work hard; But at least...... Later, I came to my senses and understood how to plan for myself, so I ...... And gone. ”

The old lady looked at Chang Runzhi's eyes with a rare hint of appreciation.

"It's not stupid to be able to recognize your own shortcomings. In the past, in the Fang family, you were too stupid. You must know that women look at men, just as men look at women, and you can't just look at the skin. ”

Chang Runzhi's face flushed slightly.

The original owner likes Fang Shuozhang, why wasn't he fascinated by his face?

"That's what the old lady said."

Chang Runzhi sincerely agrees.

The old lady liked the way she was taught, and she talked a lot.

"I respect the rules, there are no rules, there is no circle, how can I govern my family without rules? The family rules are there, and they are to be obeyed. Do you know that the Great Wei Dynasty opened the country and sealed the four dukes and seven marquis, why are there only three dukes and four marquis left now? The three princes and marquis were not disciplined, so they were demoted to the rank of knight, and gradually declined. At the time of the founding of the country, how magnificent this prince and the third marquis were, if you didn't think about it, you shouldn't think about it......"

At this point, the old lady seemed to feel that something was wrong and paused.

Chang Runzhi knew the meaning of the old lady's words.

The reason why the three marquis who have now withdrawn from the stage of the Great Wei Dynasty were demoted to the rank of lord is because they have extended their hands into the royal family.

The reason for being demoted to a knight is all four words.

Harem politics.

When these four families were demoted to the rank of knight, it was the peak of their family. In the palace, the daughter of their family is the imperial concubine, and the son born to the daughter of their family is the prince.

For the sake of the family's future, they naturally want to fight for the prince who has their family's bloodline.

This is a taboo for the emperors of all ages.

In the face of the founding Wei Gaozu, when these four families were convicted, they only had the words "harem politics", and they were only demoted.

But the people of their family are no longer reused.

This is what the old lady said, "I think about what I shouldn't think." ”

"Runzhi."

Chang Runzhi was thinking about it, and the old lady called her and asked, "Do you know why I want to set a royal marriage for your eldest sister?" ”

It was late, and although there was a candle flame, I couldn't see the old lady's face clearly.

Although the old lady's tone was ordinary, Chang Runzhi heard a bit of solemnity from it.

She sat upright suddenly, thought about it and replied: "My father was demoted to the lord because of the loss of honor in front of the emperor, and the first emperor had already saved this idea. Today's saint is taught by the first emperor himself, and must have inherited the legacy of the first emperor. The remaining three dukes and three marquis, it is probably only a matter of time before they are demoted to the rank of lord. Set up a royal marriage for the eldest sister, do you want a layer of protection? ”

Chang Runzhi glanced at the old lady, and when he saw her sharp eyes, he immediately lowered his head: "Granddaughter is shallow, the old lady is not strange." ”

"In the past, you were silent, and I don't want you to have a delicate heart."

The old lady sighed and closed her eyes, which were full of relief when she opened them.

"The three granddaughters are all very good people."

Chang Runzhi lowered his head and whispered: "Old lady Xie praises." ”

The old lady waved her hand, thought for a moment, and said, "You are seventeen years old, and you can't stay at home for a long time." But if you marry for the second time, you are also embarrassed in terms of candidates. I talked to your mother, although there are unmarried men of appropriate age in Beijing today, these people are not very good, either they have hidden diseases, or they have a bad character, and they are not good people to you. ”

Chang Runzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and was grateful to the old lady for not sending her out of the door casually.

"I used to think you were stupid, and even though you had such a choice, you never considered it. Now that I see that you are clever and intelligent, this person is suitable for you. ”

Chang Run's heart was raised.

"The old lady is talking about ......"

"Nine Emperor Princes, Liu Tong."
