Chapter 17: Madame Hou's Methods

Mu Yu wanted to find an opportunity to comfort her mother, but when they met the next day, they found that Shen Mei's expression was as usual and Yan Yan Yan was talking and laughing, and she couldn't find any traces of sadness, so she couldn't say anything full of words.

A few days after turning her head, she realized that the person who needed comfort was actually herself.

Her injury was not serious, and it was no longer a major problem after suspending school for a few days, but as for the scar, she could only use snow cream to wait for it to disappear slowly, and she couldn't be in a hurry.

At this time, the maid in front of the old lady in the family came with a smile like a flower, "The old lady is worried about Miss, I heard that I have raised my body, so I will send the slave maid to take a look, so that I can take you over to talk." ”

Mu Yu originally thought that he would go to the old lady tomorrow to say goodbye, but he couldn't wait for most of the day, so he had no choice but to follow.

When he arrived at Rongshoutang, he saw the old lady sitting upright, her face was solemn, her waist was straight, Mu Yu hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace, and she had a bad premonition. Sure enough, no one answered Fu Shen for a long time, and he didn't mean to wake her up at all.

Mu Yuren couldn't stand it, and his legs trembled in a moment, and he couldn't help but raise his head and ask innocently, "Grandmother?" ”

This time, the old lady didn't pretend to be dumb anymore, but just said nonchalantly, "Get up." ”

After speaking, when she saw Mu Yu, she immediately got up as if she couldn't wait, and her heart was even more uneasy, and she decided that her invitation was insincere, "Yu'er, I have already had the heart to ask you to talk about it, and I only have time today." As for you, you are the concubine of the Hou Mansion, and this Derong speech is not at all default. Your mother dotes on you so much that you've only learned a half-way through it. However, in a few years, you will have to take people and things, and going out represents the face of the Hou Mansion, so how can it be reassuring. ”

After a slight pause, the old lady raised her chin and announced: "I can't stand it, from now on, you stay with me for an hour every day, and I should teach you well." ”

These words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Mu Yu panicked in his heart.

I was trained once in a while before, although it was difficult but she endured it, but now let her come every day and see her for an hour, isn't that her life?

She hung her head for a long time, and the old lady above narrowed her eyes and asked sharply, "What, you don't want to?" ”

At this time, I don't want to say it in my heart, Mu Yu knows the blessing of current affairs, "My granddaughter is just too happy to react for a while, it's a good thing to be able to get my grandmother's teachings, but my granddaughter is stupid and afraid to disturb my grandmother's peace, it's better to still be taught by my husband, and then ask my grandmother to mention it from time to time?" ”

What a flamboyant! The old lady glanced at her meaningfully, "That's not necessary, I'm still healthy, and with Mama Xu's help, I can't be tired, you have a heart." ”

This means that you have to do it no matter what, Mu Yu closed his eyes and gave up the little luck in his heart, "Yes, that rumor will bother Grandmother." ”

When the matter was settled, she couldn't leave right now.

The first day was to practice walking and saluting, walking over and saluting again and again, and no matter how hard I worked, I could find fault with it, and I practiced for an hour.

I didn't let her go back for lunch, and arranged it directly in the side room of Rongshoutang.

Sitting alone at the table, looking at the half bowl of rice, a small plate of green vegetables and the soup with only the bottom of the bowl, without waiting for Mu Yu to say that it was not enough, the maid who sent the rice said with a smile, "The old lady has confessed, the girl's family is still beautiful and slender, and the young lady's body is slightly round. Run, need to eat less in the future. ”

What can Mu Yu do?

I had to squeeze out a smile with difficulty, "I see, I thank my grandmother for her thoughtfulness." ”

……

After exhausting his patience and finally escaping safely, Mu Yu returned to the upper room and threw himself on Shen Mei's leg and did not move, dying, "Mother, I'm hungry ......"

Shen Mei hurriedly asked people to go to the small kitchen to get food, and Mu Yu got up and ate it all the time, so he had the strength to speak.

First explained what happened before, she pinched her arms and legs with a sad face and said: "Mother, haven't I been learning this etiquette, and my husband has praised me for learning well, why does my grandmother have to teach me in person?" That's it, and they don't let me eat enough, and they say I'm fat...... If this is the case every day, will I not be able to grow taller? ”

"And Ah Mother, I think my grandmother seems to dislike me very much, she didn't smile for an hour, and said that I can't do this well, and I can't do it well, I obviously tried my best, but I don't have enough stature to be as good-looking as an adult." Mu Yu said tentatively.

In fact, she secretly guessed that it was because of Mu Liangxuan's beating, and the old lady was not happy to kill her as an example, but she didn't want to go on like this, she always wanted to see if there was a solution for her mother.

Shen Mei took over and personally massaged her calves, touching her daughter's legs and feet that were obviously so tight that they were erect, she turned her head and wiped the corners of her eyes, and couldn't help but feel bitter in her mouth, "It's my mother who is tired of you." ”

Mu Yu frowned, "Mother, what's going on, you can tell me so that I have some bottom in my heart." After the New Year, I will be eight years old, and I will not be a child anymore. ”

Seeing that her daughter was intimate and reasonable, Shen Mei hesitated and said a few words.

"It's not that your grandmother doesn't like you, but she doesn't like your mother. Ever since I had your brother, my mother has not been happy, and your grandmother is worried about the heirs of the big house, so she plans to be your father and concubine. Your father felt sorry for me and insisted on refusing, and since then, your grandmother has had a problem with me, but I am jealous behind my back and refuse to let your father take a concubine. ”

Shen Mei stretched out her hand and stroked her daughter's little face, feeling pity, "You are a girl and look like a mother, so naturally you are not favored by your grandmother, and you suffer for your mother." ”

Mu Yu was really indignant when she heard it, but when she saw her mother being sad, she still hid her mind and joked: "I am a girl who naturally looks like my mother, if I am like my father, how good it is, I am willing to suffer some for this." ”

Coaxed Shen Mei into laughter, Mu Yu secretly thought, it seems that this suffering can only be endured, otherwise what, she can't let her mother quarrel with the old lady for her, in case it hurts her mother to get a bad reputation of unfilial piety, it will be troublesome.

Unexpectedly, Shen Mei smiled and said, "Good rumor, if you endure it for two more days, my mother will find a way." ”

Mu Yu tried his best to dissuade him worriedly, but Shen Mei smiled and said nothing, obviously having made up his mind.

Sending away the worried little daughter, Shen Mei prepared in private, and when she was about to rest with Mu Heyun in the evening, she suddenly said: "Master Hou, we punished Xuan'er for rumors before, although we didn't do anything wrong, but in the end it made my mother unhappy, so I thought about persuading and coaxing my mother, do you think it's okay?" ”

Mu Heyun is naturally filial, but he also knows that his mother has always looked at his wife unpleasantly, and he dislikes her and gives birth to a son. Plus this Xuan'er incident...... That's not something that can be uncovered by persuasion or two.

Worried that his wife would be wronged, he shook his head, "It's also true that my mother loves Xuan'er and can't think about it for a while, and it will be fine after a while, so there is no need to say more." ”

Hearing her husband's meaning, Shen Mei appreciated it in her heart, but she didn't want her daughter to suffer on her behalf, so she smiled and said: "How can I be sincere in just persuading and coaxing, it just so happens that my sister-in-law sent me a little letter, saying that she had found a way to send her nephew to Qinghe Academy." When you are away every day, you must know that this academy has invited a great Confucian to be the head of the mountain, and it has an excellent reputation, and it is not easy to enter and study. But my sister-in-law said that she could help us get a place, so I thought it would be better to give it to Xuan'er......"

"Qinghe Academy is really good, this is rare."

"No, my sister-in-law said the same. Mother loves Xuan'er, and naturally hopes that he can become a talent in the future, to say that Xuan'er is half a year older than Yu'er, and he should have gone to school a long time ago, but now he is ...... It's not that I say, it would be fine if my daughter was so educated, but this boy can't help but delay, what do you say? ”

Mu Heyun nodded as he listened, thinking that what his wife said was very reasonable.

Sanfang invited Mr. to teach Mu Liangxuan at home, but that kid skipped class all day long, only knew how to play, and Ruyang was very protective, and refused to let Mr. discipline him well, how could he raise a good one if he went on like this.

They are all sons of the Mu family, and he can't even see them.

"What you said is very true, I will tell my mother about this, so you don't interfere."

Shen Mei wanted this, and smiled with satisfaction when he heard the words, "Then it's hard work, if my mother can stop being angry for the sake of our hard work, then I will also settle the matter." ”

Seeing that his wife was thinking about everything for the sake of the house, Mu Heyun couldn't help but be greatly moved, the two have always been very affectionate, and at this time, they couldn't help but pity and love.

The next day, Mu Heyun went to Rongshoutang with confidence.

Shen Mei sent him away with a smile on his face, turned his head and returned to the room, with a deeper smile on his face.

Qinghe Academy is prestigious, but it is also known for its strict discipline, and if you go to the third room, Mu Liangxuan's virtuous nature, if you really go, you may have to suffer a lot. The old lady could know these things after a little inquiry, and at that time, she naturally knew what to do!

Want to grind her daughter for nothing? How can it be so easy!

Shen Mei naturally wouldn't mention these inside things to her daughter, but Mu Yu was not a child after all, and two days later, when she heard Biyue's gossip about it during lunch in Qinchun Garden, she realized something.

"I heard that Master Hou and his wife took a lot of effort to find a very famous academy for Young Master Xuan, and they still found the way from Mrs. Xuan's mother's house. I didn't know that the old lady and Mrs. Ruyang didn't say anything, but the master of the academy was too strict to discipline, and Young Master Xuan was still young and couldn't stand it. ”

"And then?" Mu Yu was secretly surprised in her heart, if it was possible for her father to think about Mu Liangxuan, after all, she was the son of the Mu family, but her mother ...... I really didn't see that I was so interested in that kid.

Biyue said in a low voice: "The old lady also cried a lot about this, saying that the Hou Ye was ruthless to send the eldest young master to the barracks early, and now he wants to send the little grandson to the academy, so that none of her grandsons can see anything like this." In the end, the matter had to be resolved, and the Hou Ye was very unhappy, and he went out angrily at noon. ”

It seems that Mu Liangxuan still can't send the scourge away, Mu Yu sighed regretfully, and pretended to say: "Daddy is also a good intention, how could it be like this?" ”

Biyue nodded again and again: "Who said it wasn't." ”

In the afternoon, Mu Yu went to Rongshoutang to prepare for training as he did yesterday, but the maid next to the old lady came out to say, "The old lady is a little uncomfortable, Miss go back first." There is no need to come over these days, wait until the old lady has the spirit. ”
