Gu Yilan was puzzled and the incident of the princess's mansion falling into the water passed so easily, and Mu Hongshang was the opposite, she was very strange, why couldn't the matter of the princess's mansion go over? The mother not only reprimanded her in public in the princess's mansion, but also asked her to continue to be punished when she returned home.

What's even more sad is that her grandmother, who has always loved her, actually spoke out with her mother this time, and also said that she was too ignorant of the sky and the earth and should be punished!

With her grandmother's support, her mother's punishment was of course more serious, so Mu Hongsheng had a miserable life these days, and was punished for standing in front of her grandmother for two hours a day to copy books, as for the content of copying books...... Fortunately, it is not the "Female Commandments" and Buddhist scriptures.

Speaking of copying books, Mu Hongshang didn't know whether she was lucky or unlucky, her mother and grandmother were originally going to punish her for copying "The Female Commandment" and Buddhist scriptures. However, on the first day of her punishment, she had just placed a bookcase and pen and ink in her grandmother's house, and only copied a line of words, but she caught up with her father, An Guogong, to come in and greet her grandmother.

Of course, An Guogong knew why his little daughter was punished, and he didn't mean to help Mu Hongshang intercede at all, and even gloated and came over to see how Mu Hongshang copied the book, who knew that An Guogong glanced at the "Female Commandment" copied by his daughter and the Buddhist scriptures placed on the desk, and was immediately a little dissatisfied.

"What kind of meanness and subservience does my Mu family's daughter learn!" An Guogong frowned: "Mother, you didn't let the eldest sister and the younger sister learn the female commandments back then, how did you let the red dress copy these." ”

"Your eldest sister and younger sister are not like this leather monkey!" Old Madam Mu stretched out her finger and nodded vigorously in the direction of Mu Hongsheng: "Climb high and low all day long, how can you look like a girl." Knowing this, he didn't let her learn kung fu with Tieyi and them, and she didn't know the height of the sky during the day. Now that you don't have to be restrained, do you have to be willing to have an accident? ”

"Mother, it's not right for you to say that," Seeing that his mother's face was not good, An Guogong hurriedly showed a smile, and his tone became softer: "The girls of the Mu family have to learn some kung fu, and the eldest sister and the younger sister also followed our brothers to do morning classes before leaving the cabinet!" It's really like other people's girls, sitting in the house embroidering every day, walking two steps are tired and panting, and you can't move at every turn. It's not that you don't know that our Mu family is different from others, and there is no way to take care of the girl when she marries out. ”

"I just know that I have to restrain her to sharpen her temperament." Old Madam Mu sighed: You don't want to ask her what she did in the princess's mansion? She is twelve years old, she is not serious, the lake is so deep, and she can't swim, so she dares to poke out most of her body to catch people, how good is it if she falls into the water, and your daughter-in-law is almost scared to death. ”

"Mother," An Guogong picked up the tea bowl on the table, and handed it to Mrs. Mu with a smile: "You should punish her for copying books and accepting her temperament." It's just that the son thinks that "The Female Commandment" should not be copied, and the left and right sides are copied books, and the same is true for replacing it with "The Analects". Our family is different from other families in Beijing, these books are still rarely read by her, if you really believe those in the books, you will only know how good it is to blindly accept it when you get married in the future. ”

"Well......" Mrs. Mu took the teacup, lowered her eyelids and didn't make a sound for a long time, and after a long time, she spoke slowly: "It makes sense for you to say this, then don't copy the "Female Commandments" and Buddhist scriptures, go back and find a few books in the outer study to come over to her, I don't care what she copied, but she must copy in front of me for two hours every day." Always let her remember for a long time, know what can be done and what can't be done, and always be like this is not light or heavy, but it doesn't reassure me. ”

"Yes!" An Guogong nodded with a smile, turned his head to the maid next to the door and ordered, "Find someone to send a message to the eldest young master, and ask him to find a few books in the outer study to come over to his sister." ”

The maid simply agreed and ran away, An Guogong turned his head, looked at his mother with a smile, and was about to say something, but Mrs. Mu didn't raise her eyelids, and opened her mouth again: "Since that's the case, don't copy it first." When your brother finds a book and comes over, you won't think that you can play with your brother and brother today, and you won't be allowed to go anywhere until you finish copying the book. Cuiyun, first take the eldest lady to the West Warm Pavilion to eat some snacks, you all follow, watch her, don't let her be naughty. ”

Mu Hongshang raised her head and showed a pitiful pleading expression to Mrs. Mu and An Guogong, but unfortunately Mrs. Mu didn't look up at her at all, and An Guogong had the heart to teach her a lesson, so he deliberately ignored people with a straight face. Seeing that she couldn't save herself, Mu Hongshang sighed and accepted her fate, bowed her shoulders to her grandmother, and followed the maids to Nuan Ge for a snack.

I have to stand and copy books for two hours a day!! Two whole hours!! Mu Hongsheng thought about it and felt that she should really eat more, so that she could have the strength to copy books.

"You all follow the eldest lady to Xinuan Pavilion to serve," Old Madam Mu beckoned to the maids and ladies who were serving around her: "The kitchen has brought all the snacks today, but also look at it, don't let her eat too much accumulated food." ”

Mama Wang, who was the first to have a face in front of Mrs. Mu, understood as soon as she heard it, this was the old lady who had something to say to her son in private, so she beckoned left and right first, and after everyone retreated, she smiled and bent her knees at Mrs. Mu: "Don't worry, old lady, the slaves and maids will take care of the eldest lady." ”

Mama Wang withdrew, but Mrs. Mu didn't speak for a long time. Mu Chengyi, the Duke of Anguo, had no choice but to ask with a smile: "Mother, I am your son, why is it so difficult to speak to my own son." ”

"It's not difficult to open your mouth," Old Madam Mu sighed: "But I know that I opened my mouth to embarrass you." ”

"Mother," Hearing Mrs. Mu say this, An Guogong was stunned for a moment, and his heart suddenly beat a little drum, but he still smiled and said: "Is it difficult for you to say it for your son to listen." ”

"You just talked about the female commandment, and it also gave me a wake-up call." Old Madam Mu was silent for a moment before she spoke: "Hongshang is twelve years old this year, and she will be married in three years." Although our marriage in the Great Zhou Dynasty is not early, the girls are all married after the marriage, and they are married, and they stay at home for two years to embroider the dowry, and it is common to remarry at seventeen or eighteen. Hongshang is the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, and she wants to keep her for two more years, but even if she stays strongly, she can't keep her for a lifetime. She's already twelve, and if we stay, how many more years can we stay? After eighteen, she still has to leave the cabinet and go to someone else's house to live. Hongshang is my only granddaughter, and I just have to think about it to ......."
