9 Questions
After entering the Qingyi Courtyard, Gu Ci couldn't help but speak, "yes, do you have to go there for dinner in the future?" ”
"Ah Luan doesn't want to go?" Gu Yao was in a good mood and teased his daughter.
"Eat too fast...... "The elders don't have a good appetite and eat less, and the younger ones have to put chopsticks, which is inhumane."
"We'll have a late night snack in a minute." Gu Chong was a little distressed that his sister was not full.
"Well, yes and my brother should remember to drink milk before going to sleep."
"Okay." Gu Ao doesn't like dairy products, but when he heard that his sister had found a way to make the milk not fishy, he reluctantly agreed.
"Got it, little housekeeper." Gu Xi unceremoniously shaved off her little nose.
"Mother, don't forget to send it to Master."
"I can't forget, I love to worry about the girl."
***********************
Because tomorrow is not a class break or a rest, Yuyi decided to accompany her daughter to sleep on the first night of the house, and drove Gu Yao and her sons back to their respective houses very boldly. After the mother and daughter finished washing, put on the mother-daughter pajamas, and whispered on the bed.
"Mother, can't you usually order food in the house? Why do the fifth aunts have to ask the fourth aunt what they want to eat? ”
"The big kitchen in the house follows the example of the public, and sets a food list every ten years, and pays for extra food if you want to eat. You can tell the big kitchen to do it, or let your own small kitchen do it. ”
"The food list is set by the fourth aunt?"
"Your fourth aunt is determined, and Mrs. Tai approves."
"Then what do you want to eat, can Mrs. Tai agree?"
"It's only necessary for your fourth aunt to come out. There are not many items in the public school, just the income of the sacrificial fields and ancestral property, as well as the income of the title of the prince of your father's country. "It's really not much, it's mostly food, and the fourth aunt is really hard.
"Aunt Wu doesn't have a kitchen?"
She was reluctant to spend her own money and withdrew. On weekdays, I often take your ninth sister to Mrs. Tai or Mrs. Tai's ...... Ahem, meal. ”
Gu Ci was really a little puzzled, the fifth master of the dignified national mansion, there is no need to save it.
"But I don't think Mrs. Tai seems to like Aunt Fifth very much......"
"Oh? How can you tell? Yuyi looked at her daughter with interest
"Mrs. Tai has been watching what I eat today, occasionally looking at the fifth sister, and not at all looking at the others."
So I was stressed and didn't eat well, even if I wanted to eat fish, Hu's mother only sandwiched each dish three times.
Tearful eyes, T_T
"Why do you think Mrs. Tai doesn't like your fifth aunt?"
“…… Because you don't like Aunt Fang? ”
"Your fifth aunt is Mrs. Tai's niece, and Mrs. Tai has only one brother, and she only has this one niece."
"Huh?!"
Gu Ci was shocked, his niece married the most hated concubine, how much did he hate his own brother?
"Mrs. Tai's brother and sister have been discouraged since childhood, and they depend on each other for their lives, and their feelings are very deep." Yuyi added with a smile.
Gu Ci said that he was even more at a loss, could it be that his brother hated his sister's aunt and concubine deeply, and took the revenge route of 'if he hated a person, he would marry his daughter to ruin the whole family'? Or do you want your aunt and nephew to join forces to empty out the five rooms to take revenge on Aunt Fang's grandmother, but the nieces have their own minds and tear each other apart?
“…… Mother, tell me! "Dog's favorite horse.
"Luan wants to know?"
"Uh-huh!"
"It's not a secret, find a way to do it yourself."
Provoke her daughter's curiosity about gossip and let her brush up on the experience of house fighting, is it really a big husband!?
Gu Ci thought for a while, it should be no problem to have Ganyu here, nodded, and asked worriedly: "...... They won't come to our house to eat, will they? ”
Yuyi burst out laughing this time, "What do you think about the little brains, give them all the guts, and they don't dare to take a step into the Qingyi Courtyard." ”
Gu Ci put down this little bit of caution, and then remembered the big thing that made her even more confused, "If the seventh cousin comes to the mansion, how are we going to entertain?" ”
"It's like he's his own brother."
"Can I ask my brothers what Cousin Seventh likes?"
"Yes." Yuyi touched her daughter's cute face, "Ah Luan wants to entertain the seventh cousin so much? ”
"Yes...... Isn't that bad? ”
Since she only saw this cousin the first time she entered the palace, and there were no other people of the same generation, she must have the closest relationship with her family. And he may also be the prince (although I haven't heard anyone call it that), isn't it necessary to have a good relationship?
"It's not bad." Yuyi pondered for a moment and asked, "Why?" Because he sent you something? ”
“…… The seventh cousin was a guest. "And it's a heavyweight guest, just like the family wants to receive Putin and his son, can you not be serious and careful!
"There's a saying that 'the guest is as he pleases,' and do your best. You're still young, it's enough to have your mind. ”
“…… It's just, for the first time, that I'm meeting outsiders, and I want to do better......"
Although I want to make a sycophant, is it so obvious......
"No matter what Luan does, his parents and brothers will think it's good."
“…… But I still hope that other people like me too, so that even if I don't do something bad, people won't care......"
Yuyi was silent for a while before she raised her daughter's head and said, "Mother's Luan is different from other girls. She looked into her daughter's eyes with some seriousness and said, regardless of whether she could understand it or not. Maybe being a girl with eight faces will be praised by everyone. But you are the only princess of the dynasty, the only concubine of the descendants of the Xiao family and the Xie family, and your uncle's princesses can't be compared. Mother only hopes that you can live freely, without being careful, let alone speculating about other people's thoughts. ”
“…… Huh? ”
"It is true that it is not easy for women to live in the world, and many people have to think about it. For example, your fourth aunt, she wants to be long-sleeved and good at dancing and be able to speak, for example, your fifth aunt, in order to get some food, you have to drill and calculate, and your maids will try their best to serve you and please you in order not to suffer hardship. But you don't need to, because ...... You're looking down on them. ”
Gu Ci was completely shocked by this tirade, completely subverting her previous thoughts.
She knows that she doesn't know how to calculate, she has no life experience in her past and present lives, and when she meets the kind of smart and calm woman who doesn't stick to her body in the house fight, she must only be turned into scum in seconds, so she has always been ready to take out the strength of the college entrance examination and study seriously.
But what her mother said today opened up a new world for her, and with her status, it doesn't matter if she doesn't have this skill point. Her equipment and level have crushed most of the bosses and mobs, and if you meet something really powerful, you can form a group. As long as she is not a pig teammate, she will not suffer.
Almost everyone in this world has to kneel down and bow in front of her, if she can't live a prosperous and free life, won't she be blind to the love of her relatives and the great god of traversal?
Seeing that her daughter was speechless, Yuyi smiled dotingly and touched her little hands and face, "You may not understand what my mother said now, but you will understand it when you grow up." You have a very good attitude towards Mrs. Tai today, and you see that Mrs. Tai can't do anything about you, isn't it? ”
Gu Ci nodded in agreement. She said it a little bit today because she relied on the small seller, plus the big identity was embarrassing, the small identity was noble, and it would not be her side who suffered.
Yuyi was very satisfied to see her daughter so well-behaved, and turned to tell her about Yuan Yi.
"About Brother Yuan,...... Yu Yi said with some hesitation, "You can see the master tomorrow, just mention it to him." Say something nice for your seventh cousin. ”
"Master doesn't like Seventh Cousin?"
"Of course not, I'm just afraid that your master will be sad when he sees it." Yuyi sighed but didn't say much, just told her daughter that Empress Xiao was born to Yuan Yi and died in childbirth, so Xiao Lu became a monk and traveled abroad for several years, until Gu Ci was born, he returned to Beijing, and never entered the palace after Empress Xiao's death.
Gu Ci pouted secretly disdainfully, she had heard about this matter in the corner of the wall and knew a rough idea.
Xiao Lu raised his daughter Xiao Tong alone after the death of his beloved wife Xie Mian, but he didn't expect to be taken by his cousin Yuan Mian. Xiao Tong should be called Uncle Yuan Mian's cousin, a generation behind.
Yuan Mian ascended the throne at the age of fourteen and was not crowned, but soon there was good news in the harem. By the time Xiao Tong was young, he already had six sons and six daughters. Although Xiao Tong had a hazy affection for Yuan Mian as a little girl, he was unwilling to marry into the royal family, and he was unsuccessful until he was nineteen years old, and almost set up a female crown or became a sister-in-law. In the end, he still took the soft and entered the palace, and died of pregnancy and dystocia the following year. Xiao Lu was Mu Enhou at the time, and he couldn't save his daughter but only his grandson, and he was very remorseful.
Speaking of which, the women of the Xiao family don't love the royal family, and the Empress Dowager Xiao also hid for a year when she was in hiding, but she still didn't hide from Taizong's edict to make her the crown princess.
In Gu Ci's opinion, the Yuan family spared no effort to marry the daughter of the Xiao family, and it is really hard to say how much true affection there is.
Needless to say, Xiao Qing himself is able to chant poems and paint, and Wu can carry a knife on the horse, although there are not many people left, but there is a huge Xiao family, the foundation and prestige are still there, whether it is the ancestral home or the Andong defense line that they have operated for several generations, but the Xiao family is full of foresight.
At that time, Xiao Xuan was still young, and the entire Xiao family was presided over by Xiao Qing, how could he not marry, and the Yuan family did not dare not marry.
Xiao Lu is a saint of painting in the world, a master of apricot forest, a stroke of Danqing to describe Wanzhou, and a medical skill to live 10,000 people. The "Picture of the Marching Banquet" painted by him at the age of 27 hangs in the Liufang Temple. He and the former presiding officer of Tiemei Temple, Master Qianwu, is a friend of the year, and took the medical monks in the temple to enter the epidemic area several times to investigate the epidemic, countless people, and several recovered epidemic areas also built his ancestral hall. Although he was only a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy at that time, his reputation was not comparable to ordinary people, whether in Qingliu or among the people. It was also because of him and Xiao Qing that Gaozong had no way to change the throne to other sons.
In order to stabilize the country, Yuan Mian ascended the throne and enthroned the concubines, leaving the back position as a 'meat and bones' for the concubines who gave birth to sons to fight for. This hand is played so beautifully, and Xiao Lu is indeed an ideal relative who is both worry-free and prestigious, how could he let Xiao Tong fall apart from home? I have to marry in regardless of morality.
Speaking of which, Xiao Tong's death must also be inseparable from Yuan Mian's harem. She has a father who is a peerless famous doctor, her body is good when she is small, and as a queen, she has the top medical resources available, why is it difficult to give birth? married in and didn't protect it well, no wonder it is said that the most unruly and ruthless in the world is the royal family.
***********************
Yuyi patted her daughter's back to lull her to sleep, but her mood flew away.
She and Xiao Tong are the same age, although they are cousins and nephews, they are also good girlfriends who grew up together, and her niece has become a sister-in-law and has not died well, and she also resents her brother.
Entering the palace today, in fact, the emperor wanted her to persuade Xiao Lu to enter the East Palace as a concubine, but the queen mother disagreed, saying that Yuan Yi wanted to go to Zhuxin Pavilion if she wanted to apprentice, and there was no reason for students to sit in the teacher and run around.
Although Taifu is a good product, if he wants to enter the East Palace to teach, he is subject to a lot of restrictions. Not to mention anything else, the daily car food and ice charcoal depends on the faces of the attendants. Even if the queen mother speaks, you can't stand someone who wants to disgust and disgust you, can you still toss every day for today's green vegetables and tea leaves are too old? Now it is Concubine Du Xian and Concubine Liang Liang who are in charge of palace affairs, one gave birth to two sons, and the other gave birth to the eldest son. How can a person like a master be a stepping stone for the palace concubine?!
And there is definitely no one in the palace who is attentive and thoughtful, and the daughter is too young to be separated from the master. So she only had one sentence: With Ah Luan here, the master will definitely be reluctant to go elsewhere.
In the end, the queen mother's words forced the emperor to throw his sleeves away: You can't even protect the daughter of the Xiao family, don't spoil others.
After the emperor left, she quietly asked her mother, but Ah Xiao's matter finally found out? The queen mother smiled a little suspiciously, but she didn't say much, just told her that Ah Luan had a bit of Ah Luan's appearance, but her eyebrows and eyes were more delicate than Ah Luan, and when the imperial brother saw Ah Luan today, Xu agreed to Yuan Yi to leave the palace. can let him get closer to Xiao Lu more, and he would like to see this when he wants to come to Ah Yu.
If Yuan Yizhen lives at home, the guards should be arranged in advance, and the position of the Gu family should also be considered. Those rooms are a little unclear, don't do anything to Yuan Yi.
She thought about how to discuss with Gu Yao tomorrow, and slept next to her daughter in a daze.
