Previous Chapter

Knocking on the door of the cold palace again, Mama was obviously no longer surprised, smiled and welcomed the two in, and accompanied them to Duan Shunrong's residence to talk about Duan Shunrong's life in the past few days. Duan Shunrong is not a pampered person, two days before he came to clean up the house with Danniang, because of the lack of sweeping tools, not only with the mother is very close, but also with the old palace concubine next door The master and servant are familiar with each other, now not only the house is clean, they even planted two vegetable seedlings in the courtyard, it is estimated that there will be food in another week.

Zhu Bi smiled when she heard this, "It is worthy of being smooth and graceful, with a soft but tough temperament, and he can take root quietly anywhere." Although Zhao Yuli didn't know how to get the praise of the grandmothers by planting vegetables and sprinkling sweeps, but her mother was praised, she naturally had a sense of pride in her heart, and walked forward more anxiously, she remembered the direction well, although she had only been here once, but she had already known the way, the old mother saw that she was very skilled when she turned, so she no longer blocked, let her run, she took the food box in Zhu Bi's hand, and slowly followed Zhu Bi, chatting while walking.

Before Zhao Mu, Zhao Yuzhen, and Zhao Yuli came to the Cold Palace, it was Zhu Bi who came to the Cold Palace to make a point, and earlier, Zhu Bi had already met Mama Guo. Guo Mama entered the palace early, did not like to socialize with people, earlier in the dining room when doing things because of the stupid mouth was always arranged heavy work, squatting for a long time to wash dishes, tired when unable to stand up, and later tossed to the Huanyi Bureau, not favored palace concubine of the palace, what to do is also rough to live, suffering for more than 20 years and finally went to the cold palace to settle down, although the things to be managed here are messy, but not much interaction with people, and finally promoted to the housekeeper Mama, the subordinate also managed a rough little girl. Mama Guo is very satisfied with the life here, and she is also a little sincere in helping Duan Shunrong, after all, she can be transferred to the cold palace as a housekeeper, and Zhu Bi's credit. She and Zhu Bi are fellow villagers, both from the south of Lizhou County, where people are diligent and honest, but most of them are not very fine, not many can be selected into the palace, Zhu Bi was divided into the Huanyi Bureau when she entered the palace, as soon as she entered, she saw that Guo Mama's hands were swollen like radishes in the cold weather, squatting by the well and even washing honestly with hot water, sympathy, and when she returned to the house to see that Mama Guo's bed was next to her, she secretly put chilblain cream under her pillow, Mama Guo used chilblain cream, but she still didn't care about Zhu Bi, Zhu Bi also lightened her mind to this fellow, but she was kind, still to help her when she was bullied, but Mama Guo didn't appreciate it, and often avoided it, until one night when she went to bed, Mama Guo whispered next to her pillow: "Bi girl, don't care about me, save yourself from being involved", I realized that this fellow is not stupid, but he doesn't care about right and wrong. Later, Queen Wang entered the palace, Zhu Bi was assigned to the past, and soon because of her honesty, kindness and cleverness, she was left by the queen to be a big girl, and then took the opportunity to use the money she had saved privately and the favor of the big maid to help Mama Guo change the cold palace in the big steward.

Although the two are more than ten years apart, they can talk very well, and after a while, Mama Guo will tell the situation of the only old palace concubine in the cold palace carefully. The old palace concubine used to be a cultivator, surnamed Zhan, and after entering the cold palace, she no longer called the original title, but Mama Guo respected her character and called her Zhan Xiuyi, and there was only one person who came out of the same place with her and accompanied her since childhood. Zhan Xiuyi not only can tending to flowers and vegetables, but also can read, embroider, make clothes, and change clothes, and is not to pass the time, but to love it, and live the cold palace life out of the artistic conception of returning to the garden, Mama Guo likes her yard very much, and often goes there to sit and talk to her and Jin'an. After Duan Shunrong entered the cold palace, he soon found that Zhan Xiuyi was easy to get along with, not only that, the two of them belonged to Qinzhou Mansion in their hometowns, but there were more topics to talk about, and the cold palace was quite lively these days.

Zhu Bi breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't want to be so coincidental, it can be seen that life is mysterious." The two of them arrived at Duan Shunrong's place as they spoke, and stepped into the courtyard to find that Zhao Yuli had already arrived, and was now dragging hands with his mother in the courtyard to see the fruits of his mother and Danniang's labor. Zhu Bi gave a salute, smiled and handed the lunch box to Danniang, Duan Shunrong and Danniang were busy with farm work in the morning, and hurriedly went to get the meal halfway, but they didn't have time to eat, so they were not polite, just washed their hands and went in to eat, Zhu Bi and Guo Mama tied up their sleeves in the yard and prepared firewood.

After entering the inner room, Duan Shunrong wanted to ask Yu Fei to speak, but Yu Li only urged his mother to eat quickly, Duan Shunrong didn't talk much, ate quickly, and when he finished eating, he hugged Zhao Yu Li into his inner room, and hugged Yu Li in his arms and lay on the bed to talk.

Duan Shunrong touched Zhao Yuli's little head on his arm and asked her, "What has Mama Kong taught in the past few days?" Can you still adapt? ”

Zhao Yuli snorted: "Mama Kong taught etiquette, she taught a lot of great truths two days ago, and was scolded by the queen mother, and today the class was changed, the queen mother promised, and the father maybe."

Duan Shunrong was curious: "Is the course different from the previous arrangement?" ”

Zhao Yuli shook her head: "It's different, it used to be just etiquette, female popularity, and female morality, but now Mama Kong has to take us to learn flower arrangement, cooking on fire, cutting cloth and tailoring, and let us go to Mongolian school with the prince's brother and them, and we also have to go to juju, learn to throw pots, oh, and learn arithmetic." ”

Duan Shunrong's heart shook when she listened, but she was worried about whether her daughter liked it or whether it would be too hard: "Then do we like these classes?" Tired of studying? ”

Zhao Yuli replied: "I like it, I listen to the reasonable classes and fall asleep, these classes are fun, Yuli doesn't feel sleepy when she listens", and remembered something: "Mother, Mama Kong stopped the female virtue class, she said that she had finished talking about it two days ago, and she didn't need to take it again later, we will do it ourselves, plus Mengxue will understand it and put it in our hearts." ”

Duan Shunrong was sure in his heart, but asked again: "Can your queen mother tell you the reason for these course arrangements in private?" ”

Zhao Yuli said: "The queen mother just asked me if I liked it and if I was willing to learn, and I said that I was willing to learn if I liked it, and I was willing to set an example for women in the world, so that I could help my mother." ”

Duan Shunrong's heart was as soft as the half-wet and half-dry mud under the spring sun, and she was so heartfelt, she hugged her daughter tightly with both hands, and kissed her little face many times: "Yuli don't think about helping her mother now, her mother will help herself and help you in the future, when you are older and your mother is old, you can help your mother again, okay?" ”

Zhao Yuli said: "Mother, you are the best for me, we must help each other in the future now." ”

Listening to her milky but extremely serious words, Duan Shunrong only felt that he was in the flower field, illuminated by the sun, extremely peaceful, extremely down-to-earth, and his heart was full of happiness, this happiness overflowed, and even the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were bent.

Zhao Yuli was patted by her mother, smelled her mother's scent, and soon fell asleep in her arms. It was her most down-to-earth sleep these days.
