Chapter 5: Yu Yao's thoughts
"Mother." Yu Yao walked into Su Yuemei's room with a smile, and looked at Yu Qi who was kneeling on the ground in surprise: "Hey, the third sister is still kneeling on the ground?" Then he looked at his mother Su Yuemei.
Su Yuemei is more than 30 years old this year, but she is very well maintained, her skin is fair and can be broken like a girl, and although she does not apply lipstick, she is already as ruddy and full as a cherry, as if she is waiting for someone to pick it at any time. Usually speaks softly and drizzly, but without losing majesty. Today, Su Yuemei only has an orchid white hosta inserted in the high raised Liuyun bun, wearing a water-blue dress, and the stitches on the body are densely embroidered with white magnolias, some of them are budding to be released, and some have been angrily released, the embroidery is exquisite, and it seems that the whole person is wrapped in this sea of flowers from a distance, only revealing its exquisite figure. The room was lit with a very faint fragrance of orchids, and the fragrance of flowers wafted in the air, making Su Yuemei look more beautiful and pure at this time. At this age, Su Yuemei can maintain the charm that a woman should have without losing the freshness and refinement of a girl, and it is no wonder that she has been able to be alone in the mansion for many years, and the other concubines are just putting on a façade to show her virtuous generosity.
Su Yuemei was in a good mood when she saw her daughter coming, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Yes, Yuqi, get up." Remember today's lesson. You can do whatever you want behind closed doors, and you must keep your mouth shut outside, otherwise you will get into trouble in the future, and the family will have to accompany you to suffer. Go down. ”
"Thank you, mother, my daughter won't dare in the future." Yuqi kowtowed and then stood up slowly with the help of the maid, Xu was kneeling for too long, and her legs were weak and she almost fell down again.
"Mother Zhang, bring the box of ointment in the cabinet to the third miss, Dong Ju, go back and rub it well for your young lady." After speaking, Su Yuemei put the tea cup on the table, and called someone to serve snacks to Yu Yao.
"Thank you, Mother." Yuqi leaned weakly on the maid, blessed Su Yuemei, and left.
"Mother, tell you a good thing." Yu Yao's slender jade fingers pinched a piece of plum blossom cake and looked at Su Yuemei happily.
"Ghost elves, what are you so happy about. Drink some water and say slowly," Su Yuemei lovingly poured another glass of water for Yu Yao.
"Mother, father has agreed that his daughter and big sister will go to Lingshan Academy together." Yu Yao took a sip of water and said.
"What's there to be happy about?" Su Yuemei has always felt that her daughter is very good, and she is also one of the best in the entire capital, so it is a matter of time before she goes to Lingshan Academy, and there is nothing to be so happy about. Su Yuemei sighed in her heart, this daughter's family is still too young, so it is too easy to be satisfied.
Yu Yao saw her mother's indifferent appearance, so she said anxiously: "Mother, you heard from your daughter that the county lord of Changle told her daughter that Lingshan Academy will conduct an assessment for students who are about to end their studies every year, but from this year onwards, all women who take the first place will enter the palace to accompany the Queen Mother for a year, and that is an honor that no one can ask for." That is, when you go to your husband's house in the future, you have to take a high look. Speaking of this, Yu Yao suddenly thought of something again, immediately lowered her voice again, approached Su Yuemei and said: "And, mother, we didn't succeed last time, and now that the eldest sister has woken up again, we can't do anything at home, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of grandmother." My daughter went to the college with her eldest sister to study this time, first, you can see the situation, and secondly, if I finally take the first to enter the palace to accompany the queen mother, then my daughter is one level higher than my eldest sister, and maybe Brother Chenhe will also look down on me, and my daughter will naturally get the eyes of Prince Ying. What's so good about that big sister, it's just that it was because of her mother that she climbed to the Prince of England's mansion. A peerless man like Brother Chenhe can't find the second person in the Murong Dynasty. As a concubine, why should she marry Brother Chenhe! The daughter is unwilling! Yu Yao said that the more she said later, the more unwilling she became, and her eyes were also stained with a trace of cruelty, and the plum blossom cake in her hand was inadvertently crushed.
"Yao'er, what do you compare to that cheap girl. Don't forget that you are the daughter of this jade family now. Besides, you have been reading poetry and books by your grandfather's side since you were a child, which is not comparable to her grandfather's family, who can only use knives and guns. When I went to the academy, everyone would know who was the pearl and who was the fish. So Yao'er just don't be impulsive, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, if you have something to tell your mother, your mother will rely on you. There is also your brother Yuhao, your brother is going to participate in the imperial examination this year, and if he is selected, he can be an official and a half-position. This way you also have one more to rely on. Su Yuemei carefully peeled off Yu Yao's fingers, took out the crushed plum blossom cake inside, and then took out a handkerchief and gently rubbed Yu Yao's hand, as if she was rubbing a fine porcelain, and it would be broken if she was not careful.
"Well, mother and eldest brother are the best." Yu Yao hid the fierceness in her heart and replaced it with a sweet smile, and then hugged Su Yuemei and coquettishly.
"Okay, what a big person, and I like to be coquettish. Mother is now starting to prepare for you to go to Lingshan Academy. If you're gone, you won't be able to come back until the summer. It's going to take months. Su Yuemei thought that she hadn't seen her baby daughter for several months, and her heart suddenly swelled with reluctance, and she stroked Yu Yao's head and said, "My Yao'er has grown so big and hasn't been away from her mother for so long." As he spoke, his eyes were slightly filled with tears, and he choked up.
"Who upset Madame?" Yu Rongxuan heard Su Yuemei speaking with a crying voice, and walked in quickly. But when he saw that the woman he loved the most was having a faint tear in her eyes at this time, her arms were tightly wrapped around her favorite daughter, and her heart suddenly tightened, and her wife must have known that Yu Yao was going to Lingshan Academy, so she was reluctant. Alas, I can't bear it.
Su Yuemei saw Yu Rongxuan come in, and glared at Yu Rongxuan with tears in her pretty eyes, crystal tears swirled in her eyes, but her face climbed a touch of crimson slightly, and her cherry red lips seemed to be open, trembling slightly, with residual tea, like cherries with dew in the early morning, people couldn't help but go up to pick them immediately. Yu Rongxuan was stunned all of a sudden, and all his troubles were gone, and he began to feel a little uneasy, and suddenly his daughter Yu Yao's voice came from his side, and Yu Rongxuan coughed lightly embarrassedly.
"Daddy, my mother is reluctant to give up her daughter. The father accompanied the mother to talk, and the daughter went out to call Zhang's mother Bucai. Yu Yao, who was crying, came out of Su Yuemei's arms, wiped her tears, and said to Yu Rongxuan, and then stepped forward to help Yu Rongxuan sit down and go out.
Soon, the table was filled with rich dishes, and the three of them sat together and ate happily together. It is not unreasonable for Yu Yao to be favored by Yu Rongxuan, because she can always grasp her father's mind, and she can coax Yu Rongxuan to laugh heartily, and from time to time Su Yue's eyebrows are slightly red, and she shouts that this girl is used to being unruly by the master.
It was night, warm fragrant nephrite, and Yu Rongxuan spent the night in Su Yuemei's room.
