Chapter 159

"Speaking of which, Yan'er is almost ten years old, and it's time to learn to manage family affairs. This time to search the yard, Yan'er, you have to work hard. Cheng Zhang said. Whether his baby daughter is willing or not, Cheng Zhang's is not clear. But as long as you are not blind, you can see that Cheng Yuyao, who is sitting opposite Cheng Yuyan, is eager to try, and even takes the initiative to share one or two.

"Yes." Cheng Yuyan stood up and saluted.

In the Apocalypse Dynasty, the concubines were respectful, and in many cases, the daughters of those concubines may not be able to marry the right man as the wife. The reason why this is the case, the dowry or something is one thing, and the most important thing is that the cultivation from childhood can be said to be very different.

Children tend to be treated better, not only in terms of daily expenses, but also in terms of education. The vast majority of the concubines who are raised in the backyard are guaranteed to be raised safely to adulthood, and as for the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even more practical skills such as housekeeping, etiquette, and makeup, the grandmother may not be willing to spend time cultivating the babies born to those rival concubines. As for the biological mothers of those concubines, they were born either as slaves and maids, or as concubines with similar family backgrounds, or daughters of small families outside, of course, they may also come from thin horses or Qinglou women in Jiangdu. These people are always lacking in managing family affairs, behavior, etc.

So that it is not surprising that those concubines who don't know a few big characters and behave too humbly and are too petty. Of course, this is only the majority of cases, and very few exceptions are not excluded. For example, Cheng Fu, Cheng Yuyao is an exception. In Cheng Yuyan, the eldest lady of Cheng Mansion was not reborn. Before Cheng Zhang's family came out of the Buddhist hall, the third aunt in Cheng Mansion can be said to have killed many people, invincible and invincible, and even with Cheng Yuyao, the crystallization of true love, the treatment is comparable to that of the children born in Cheng Mansion in the capital.

As early as when Cheng Yuyao was four or five years old, Cheng Qingye spared no expense to find a female master with both ability and political integrity, who was responsible for enlightening Cheng Yuyao. It's a pity that something happened to this female master's family, and half a month before Cheng Yuyan came to Yue Town, she went back to her hometown to guard her filial piety. As a concubine of someone else's family, how many can have such good luck as Cheng Yuyao?

Former Dynasty. If it weren't for Princess Zhaorui's urging to divide several famous academies across the country into two. Successively recruited women, giving those children who came out of the house an opportunity to go to school to read and write, learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. But it's just an opportunity, I want to enter the academy smoothly. You also have to pass the so-called entrance exam. However, children who are born can be admitted without entrance examinations. This is a discriminatory treatment. It's always been there. It has not been completely eradicated.

It is said that these three aunts were originally the daughters of the Zhang family. When I was at home, I naturally learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting for a period of time, as well as how to manage the house. Pity. didn't study for long, and the Zhang family had an accident when they encountered difficulties, and they almost ordered a pot. After that, the third aunt went all the way to the capital, Mrs. Cheng, and followed those distant cousins (Tang?) in Cheng's mansion. The sisters then studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting for a few more days. As for how to manage the backyard house, at most, I have only learned a little scratch. Mrs. Cheng wanted to teach, who would have thought that she was still thinking about it, and this distant niece slapped her very loudly: taking advantage of the fact that her little daughter-in-law (that is, Cheng Zhang's) was pregnant, she took the opportunity to climb into her youngest son's bed, and she was also pregnant with a very lucky blow.

Therefore, the third aunt is actually not good at managing family affairs. The reason why Cheng Fu has not eaten grain in recent years, there have been big mistakes, Cheng Qingye will make money, and it is still a lot of money, and occasionally losing some small money is not a big problem. Moreover, it is also Cheng Zhang's who does not want his only baby daughter to suffer in the future, and secretly pays attention. In addition, the stewards of several important places in Chengfu are really powerful. Otherwise...... Cheng Fu can't tell how to mess around.

After all, Cheng Yuyao is not a genuine yellow-mouthed child, so she naturally noticed early that the third aunt was not good at housekeeping. After knowing that the third aunt had a few catties and a few catties of bones, Cheng Yuyao not only didn't think of secretly helping her own mother, but instead despised the third aunt more and more. At this moment, seeing Cheng Zhang's thinking about teaching her eldest sister how to manage the housekeeper, this mind began to come alive again.

"Mother, the eldest sister is alone, Yao'er is willing to help the eldest sister on the side."

What's the matter with you, why are you little hooves everywhere?! Cheng Zhangshi really wanted to shout in Cheng Yuyao's ear, but unfortunately before she could speak, Cheng Qingye had already walked in from the outside in great strides, and happened to hear what Cheng Yuyao said.

"Since Yao'er also wants to go along, let's go together."

Cheng Zhang's heart was depressed, but he couldn't save face with his husband, so he had to reluctantly cooperate: "Then the two girls will be with Yan'er." ”

"Yes." I don't know if I've been with Li Junran for a long time, compared to Cheng Yuyao's joy, Cheng Yuyan's reaction was too calm.

"Eldest sister, where will we start searching in a while?" Before she walked out of the courtyard of the upper room of the main courtyard, Cheng Yuyao had already turned her head to look at Cheng Yuyan impatiently.

But Cheng Yuyan didn't even raise her eyelids.

"Second sister, what do you think?"

"Well, of course, when you are a sister, you have to listen to the eldest sister." Cheng Yuyao, who has been in the trap several times, finally became smarter this time.

According to the location, the two courtyards of Jing Yaxuan, where Cheng Yuyan lives, and Cheng Yuyao's Zuifeng Garden, are not far away, and they are both located on the east side of the upper room of the main courtyard. Of course, Jing Yaxuan not only has a larger courtyard, but also is closer to the upper room of the main courtyard. The third aunt's Yilan Garden is located in the north direction of Zuifeng Garden, and there are five or six aunts living on the west side of Yilan Garden, and the nine aunts who have disappeared mysteriously live in the wing room on the east side.

The eighth aunt lives in Feng Yaju, which is second only to the upper room of the main courtyard, and is located on the west side of the upper room of the main courtyard, connected to the garden and the lotus garden. The courtyard behind Feng Yaju was originally inhabited by the fourth aunt and the seventh aunt, because the two aunts were no longer in the Cheng Mansion, so now the yard has been locked. As for the second aunt, she has been living in the three wings behind the upper room of the main courtyard.

"Let's start with ...... Let's start the Drifting Snow Garden where Aunt Nine lives. Cheng Yuyan vaguely guessed what her good sister-in-law had in mind, and she wanted to do the opposite.

Cheng Yuyao's right eyebrow raised slightly, in fact, starting from the nearest Jing Yaxuan, or going directly to the farthest Drifting Snow Garden, she didn't care. Because what should be done has already been arranged. I'm afraid that her good eldest sister would never have dreamed that the most trusted girl around her had already betrayed her.

As soon as she thought of this, the corners of Cheng Yuyao's mouth couldn't help but turn up by half a point.

Cheng Yuyan and Cheng Yuyao walked on the cobblestone road one after the other, and went straight to Piaoxue Garden.

Piaoxue Yuan was suddenly a lot more deserted because of the relationship between Aunt Jiu. The girls and mothers-in-law who were originally waiting in Piaoxue Garden waited in the courtyard one by one in fear, for fear of being affected by Aunt Nine and suffering from it. Of course, they are even more afraid that because they have no master who needs to be served, they will be sold directly like the maid in the Splendid Pavilion where the fourth aunt and the seventh aunt live.

Of course, these people don't know that the reason why the maid and mother-in-law in the Splendid Pavilion were sold was mainly because they were affected by the two masters above, and they affected the small pond fish. Who let the fourth aunt and the seventh aunt be suspected of being a family member of Cheng Mansion, and Cheng Qingye changed a very healthy hat on his shoes. It's not the uncle of the Guan family, most men still can't accept the green bamboo-like color drops on their heads, even if the folk customs are open to the Apocalypse Dynasty.

The specific search of the yard naturally did not require the two ladies of the Cheng Mansion to do it themselves, and they didn't even need to open their mouths, so Mama Ding led a few rough mothers-in-law to search one room after another. Piaoxue Yuan was not big, and it didn't take long to check it inside and out. Naturally, it is impossible to find Aunt Jiu.

Just as Cheng Yuyan and Cheng Yuyao were about to go to the next courtyard, Qing'e, who was still waiting obediently on the side, "poofed" and knelt directly in front of the two of them, and kowtowed several times before they could speak.

"Eldest Miss, Second Miss, Aunt She...... She didn't come back last night...... Yes, is something wrong? ”

Last night, Qing'e, the most caring big girl next to Aunt Jiu, did not follow Aunt Jiu and went to the main courtyard to go to the room. After the incident, the angry Cheng Qingye directly issued a gag order, although the people below wanted to gossip, in the end they had scruples because of this gag order. Qing'e, who was in the Drifting Snow Garden, waited anxiously for most of the night and didn't see Aunt Nine come back, so she faintly felt that something might have happened. No, not long after dawn on this day, the two eldest ladies of the Cheng Mansion personally brought people over to search the yard.

"What do you say?" Cheng Yuyao doesn't like to be called "Miss Yuyao" by those subordinates in the Cheng Mansion, but she doesn't feel much joy about Qing'e's "Second Miss".

"Since there is no one in the Drifting Snow Garden, let's go to the next courtyard." Because of the experience in the previous life, Cheng Yuyan felt a little touched by the loyal servant, and she was also a little unbearable, so she turned around and chose to leave, no longer paying attention to Qing'e and others.

Seeing this, Cheng Yuyao lost interest and paid attention to Qing'e again. On the contrary, it was Mama Ding, before leaving Piaoxue Garden, she took a look at Qing'e more. Mother Jin, who followed behind, had a straight face and knocked the maid and mother-in-law in the Drifting Snow Garden. How many of those who can survive in the backyard without incident, but how many are stupid? Seeing this posture, I still don't understand: the rhythm of this big thing. The maid and mother-in-law who realized this became more and more frightened, you must know that the last time she worked so hard was only a few months ago, and the angry third aunt was strictly speaking only half a master at most. And this time......

"Eldest sister, where do you think this ninth aunt will be?" Cheng Yuyao, who came out of the Drifting Snow Garden, asked with a smile. (To be continued......)
