On the morning of the third day of the new year, Yan Xiaoyue and Xiaoxiao packed up, went to Rong'an Hall to say goodbye to everyone, and then got into a carriage and rushed to Mengjin.

It has only been two days since she really lived in Yang Mansion, but Yan Xiaoyue saw that it was not easy for this ancient woman to live, and she waited for her in-laws to come to work early, to prolong the birth of children for her husband's family, and to take care of the life of her husband and his concubines.

Although Yan Xiaoyue felt uncomfortable, she didn't worry about herself, she was worried about the girl who was sleeping soundly next to her. Yang Xiao'er, in terms of temperament, Xiaoxiao can be said to be perfect, considerate, gentle, generous, considerate of others, and has no temper, which is all advantages. But if you want to be a housewife like this, you will be weaker, and I am afraid that I will not be able to control the husband and the concubine in the future. Fortunately, it is still young now, everything still has time to change, Xiaoyue believes that the one who is close to Zhu is red, and the one who is close to ink is black, the power of example is infinite, with her Yan Xiaoyue here, Yang Xiaoer will become Yan Xiaoyue's second in the future.

On the evening of the fourth day of the new year, I returned to the Thorn Mansion, took a comfortable bath, and then entered the space. I've been on the road for the past two days, and Yan Xiaoyue has been eating and sleeping with Xiaoxiao, so I haven't come in for two days.

When I came in on the first night of the new year, the bamboo shoots brought in by the sable had grown to more than two meters tall bamboo, but the whole body was like white jade, even the leaves, and the whole plant was planted there, and when the wind blew, it brought a piece of fluorescence. Xiao Yue still doesn't know what this bamboo is called, so she gave it a name called Bai Yuzhu, and Xiao Yue cut a bamboo branch with a dagger to keep it for later use. Then begin the daily work and cultivation.

When it was the sixth day of the first month, Yang Mocheng took Xiaoxiao and Xiaoyue to greet everyone at the second gate. After a while, I saw a person coming up and down the sedan chair, a Confucian skirt with clear water and blue sky, yellow embroidered shoes, a yellow rose belt, and a jade hairpin with a good water head inserted in the woman's hair bun.

After everyone returned to Jian'an Hall after the ceremony, Yang Mocheng once again introduced Xiaoxiao and Xiaoyue, which can also be seen that Yang Mocheng attaches great importance to this meeting, and Yan Xiaoyue can't help but be cautious.

Fang Yajie asked the two of them softly, "Have you ever learned any musical instruments?" ”

Xiaoxiao replied slightly: "Teacher Hui, the student has learned a little guzheng, but he can't play the tune." ”

Fang Yajie nodded and asked Xiao Yue, "What about you?" ”

Yan Xiaoyue generously admitted, "I haven't learned anything." But I like to listen to the melodious sound of the piano, the crisp sound of the flute. ”

Fang Yajie said with a smile: "Hehe, little girl, I'm asking you what you've learned, not what you want to learn." Having said that, he looked at Xiaoyue with a smile and a face full of appreciation.

Xiaoxiao was very cute on the side, "Big sister, Xiaoyue said this because you can, can't we learn if you can." ”

Fang Yajie laughed directly, "Hehe, I'm twenty-eight years old, and you still call me sister?" Girl, I and Mo Cheng are equals, and I don't follow the fact that you are called a gratuitous shorter. ”

Yan Xiaoyue also joked in the emperor's side: "My father-in-law always has a straight face on weekdays, and he looks a little older when he looks mature, you are so beautiful, who doesn't say that we are three sisters when we go out together." ”

Fang Yajie was invited to come this time because she had her own plans, and now she was happy to see the two girls like this, so she agreed to take advantage of the situation, "Haha, the little girl's mouth is so sweet, I will stay in Mengjin for a few days, you learn from me first." ”

Yan Xiaoyue said happily: "Yes, don't worry, teacher, Xiaoxiao and I will definitely study hard." ”

Fang Yajie nodded, "Okay, you can prepare your own musical instruments if you want to learn, and you don't have to pay too much attention to beginners." ”

Xiao Yue nodded, remembering that she hadn't seen Fang Yajie's luggage just now, so she asked, "Teacher, will you live here in the future?"

Fang Yajie shook her head, "No, I'm staying at the guest house." ”

Yan Xiaoyue glanced at Yang Mocheng and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, why don't you let the teacher live in the mansion, you see, Xiaoxiao and I have no mother since we were young, and there is no female elder around us to teach, so let the teacher stay and guide us." ”

When Yang Mocheng heard this, he also felt that this was a good opportunity, and said directly: "Yajie, I will send someone to the inn to help you pick up your luggage, and you will stay...... Jin Yanju. ”

Fang Yajie glanced at Yang Mocheng and didn't answer, it seemed that she had acquiesced.

Yan Xiaoyue's eyes stared straight between Yang Mocheng and Fang Yajie, why did these two people look like there was a situation?

Yan Xiaoyue pulled Yang Xiao'er back to Xiaoxiang Courtyard, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?" The soul is not guarded. ”

"Satsuki, I recognize her." Xiaoxiao said gloomily.

Satsuki was confused by this sentence, "What? ”

Xiaoxiao sat on the stool and said gloomily: "Fang family, my girlfriend name is Fang Yajie, I saw her portrait when I was a child, in my father's study, the painting was when she was young, when she was not tied up, she was very young, and she smiled very happily. Later, I asked the nurse to know that the woman in the painting was the daughter of a big family that her father knew in the imperial city, and the family did not let her fill the house and hurriedly married another young master of an official family, but she did not pass the door to become a widow, I heard that she later combed her hair and left the house alone, but I didn't expect that after so many years, she still came here. After speaking, he sighed heavily, "It's a pity that Xiao's mother resigned and returned to her hometown last year, and now there is no one to give me ideas, so I don't know what to do." ”

After hearing this, Yan Xiaoyue finally understood Xiaoxiao's Fuduo mood, but there were some things that they could not stop, nor could they change. Fang Yajie can appear here today, it may be that Yang Mocheng is out of many considerations, but it can't be said that she doesn't want to go further, Fang Yajie is even clearer, she can come and be willing to stay, it is enough to explain everything. It's just that if it really comes to that point, Xiaoxiao can't say anything, not only can't say it, but also must be respectful to the other party, so that he can seek a good future for himself.

Yan Xiaoyue said to Yang Xiao'er: "Xiaoxiao, look at me, tell me do you hate her?" ”

"No, it's not, I don't." Xiaoxiao replied in a panic.

Yan Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief, what she was afraid of was that Xiaoxiao was prejudiced against Fang Yajie in her heart, "Okay, Xiaoxiao, tell me what are you worried about?" Are you afraid that her appearance will rob her father-in-law? ”

"Sister Xiaoyue, I ......" cried before she could speak.

Xiao Yue wiped her tears and said, "Actually, I don't think her appearance is a bad thing, and it would be good if she could really marry her father-in-law." ”

Xiaoxiao was surprised: "Why? ”

Xiao Yue said what she had thought about, "Think about it, you are about to be ten years old now, and you will be married in seven years at most, and as soon as you leave, there will be only one righteous father in the whole house, and there will be no one to take care of it when there is a dizzy fever or something, although there are slaves and maids, but how can a slave be compared to his own relatives, at that time you didn't know where to marry, who would take care of your father-in-law, this is one of them." Second, when you are old, you will only have to have a woman to handle your future marriage, and you can't count on your grandmother and aunts, haven't you noticed? Everyone here only came here this year, just after your grandmother had that idea, but she didn't show up before, and she didn't hear your stepfather talk about it, what does this mean? ”

The more Xiaoyue said about her own organization, the clearer she became, "It's not that your father-in-law thinks about you, you still have to have a woman to support the affairs in this backyard, if you have a stepmother, your grandmother will have no excuse to meddle in your marriage." Third, the status of a woman in her husband's family after marriage is inseparable from the support of her mother's family, if you have a younger brother, the Yang family will have a continuation, and you will also have a mother's family to rely on in the future, right? Fourth, everyone on this side has been able to stick to it for so many years, and a person has made a great reputation, and he is not a busy person, so he must have something outstanding, don't you think? If we can learn two points, it will also add a guarantee in the future, right? ”
