"Not only your second aunt will go, but Sister Lian will also go." Mrs. Cheng sighed, "The Queen Mother said that she wanted to meet her niece at home. ”

"Heh, her old man's work is too obvious, they are all nieces and nephews, and they are all concubines, Ah Zhi is still a few years older than Ah Lian, and I have never seen her summon Ah Zhi, she is going to raise the second room to press you." Cheng Chan snorted, thinking of what happened to Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Jin in the palace yesterday, his heart was as uncomfortable as being burned by a fire.

Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng have always been at odds, and the Empress Dowager Cheng is not unaware, today she punished Mrs. Cheng in the palace, and tomorrow she will lift Mrs. Cheng and the second concubine into the palace, which is clearly intended to give Mrs. Cheng no face.

"I hope she likes Sister Lian in the second room." Mrs. Cheng didn't care, compared to her daughter's lifelong happiness, what was her decency?

Cheng Qian was silent, she understood Mrs. Cheng's thoughts, but Cheng Lian was not only a concubine, but also a year younger than Cheng Jin, the most important thing is that her appearance can only be regarded as beautiful at most, and she has seen the beautiful Cheng Jin, and the Empress Dowager Cheng is afraid that it will be difficult to meet Cheng Lian.

"Invite the second aunt into the palace tomorrow, I'm afraid I'll have to invite the third aunt the day after tomorrow, or with the third aunt's hearty temperament, I'm afraid I'll cry the old lady again." Cheng Chan sneered, she was a short-term protector in her bones, and she didn't have any good feelings for Empress Dowager Cheng's aunt.

"Don't talk nonsense, if it spreads, people will have to say that we are arrogant, we are relying on the power of the Queen Mother, what qualifications do we have to judge the rights and wrongs of her old man?" Although Mrs. Cheng was not comfortable in her heart, she was more worried that her daughter was young and vigorous and couldn't hide things.

"Auntie, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense with others, I just think you are wronged."

"How big of a deal is that? As long as you don't wronged yourself, I don't feel wronged. Mrs. Cheng looked at her lovingly, "My two delicate children are beautiful and smart, and they can enter the palace to be concubines?" Not even the emperor. ”

"Whether it's a wife or a concubine, a woman can't help herself." Cheng Chan sighed, not only did she not want to be a concubine, she didn't want to get married at all.

"You don't have any other thoughts," Mrs. Cheng looked at her vigilantly, "Even if you really go to the fame test, you have to marry honestly." ”

"Auntie, I know, you don't have to talk about me anymore." Cheng Qian was most afraid of hearing this topic, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "A-Niang, I want to find a gentleman to give us a lecture on scriptures and righteousness, Mr. Fan teaches Mengtong on weekdays, although his knowledge is solid, but I am afraid that he owes some heat in the current text." ”

"Do you have someone in mind?" Mrs. Cheng believes that Cheng Chan has a furrow in her chest, and since she will bring it up, she has naturally figured it out.

Mrs. Cheng was born in a scholarly family, and Cheng Zhan's maternal grandfather was quite thin in Shilin, but it was impossible to go through the path of Cheng Enhou, and they could also find a good gentleman to teach through the relationship of the Liu family.

"Dr. Taixue Yu Xi." Cheng Chan gently spit out these six words.

Mrs. Cheng was a little surprised, but she also felt that this was a good candidate, "Dr. Yu is a personal disciple of the master, and a doctor of Taixue, and his knowledge must not be bad, and he is a woman, it would be great if she could invite her to teach you, but after all, she is an official of the imperial court, and it is impossible to invite her to the house to teach you, so you can only go to her to study alone, and you have not healed your foot injury now, I am afraid that you will not be able to stand it." ”

After a hundred days of injured muscles and bones, Cheng Zhan sprained his foot, how could he go to Yuxi to study every day? It's just a small sedan chair to go in and out at home, and when you get to Yuxi Mansion, you also sit in a bamboo sedan chair like this, but Yuxi doesn't care, and spreading it will also damage Cheng Chan's reputation.

"Your foot injury is serious, whether it is getting married or gaining fame, there must be no disease on your foot, you must not be careless!" Mrs. Cheng said, "You can recuperate well at home, and when you get to the autumn season, you will go to the exam, even if you fail the exam, it doesn't matter, the queen mother must not force you to enter the palace no matter how angry she is." ”

"Since I went to take the exam, I naturally had to go all out, and the child didn't want to slack off." Cheng Chan shook his head firmly.

"You first recuperate at home, and I will first invite the gentlemen in the clan studies to give you lectures on scriptures and doctrines, although they are not capable, but they are somewhat useful...... Otherwise, I heard that there are gentlemen out there who specialize in teaching people by relying on the imperial examination, so I might as well invite such gentlemen to ......."

Every year, there are many scholars who fail to take the imperial examination for various reasons, and there are many people who are able to take the examination as easy as a breeze, but they can't get into the examination anyway, so these people have to be teachers in order to make a living, ordinary teachers can't make much money, some brains are smart and effective, so they begin to teach the scholars to take the exam for a living, and the fees are quite expensive, and some people have become rich because of this.

"I know this kind of gentleman, most of them are only willing to instruct those students with a good foundation, like us, who don't know anything about the scriptures and theories, I'm afraid they don't want to teach, not to mention that we are women......"

Looking for this kind of gentleman is a temporary cramming, their academic foundation may not be solid, but they are experts in betting questions and speculating about the examiner's preference for these answering skills, if they are allowed to teach from scratch, it is absolutely impossible, not to mention that Cheng Chan is a woman, these gentlemen don't want to smash their own signboards to teach female students to take the exam.

"There's always someone who wants to teach, right? It's a big deal, give more money. ”

"Ah Niang is not afraid that such money-greedy people are liars? What's more, it is inconvenient to invite a male gentleman to the house, and the reputation of female students is already not good. ”

This is said to Mrs. Cheng's heart, Cheng Chan will still marry in the future, how can he lose a big deal because of a small thing.

"The child met Dr. Yu when he was studying in Guozijian, Dr. Yu is knowledgeable, and he is even more gentle and kind, Ah Jin will go to Guozijian to study soon, and the child wants to take Ah Jin to worship Dr. Yu as a teacher, which will also be beneficial to Ah Jin in the future." Cheng Qian pondered, "It's inevitable that the night will be long and dreamy, I want to take Ah Jin and Dr. Yu to set the master-apprentice status first, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the women's school these days, Ah Jin has entered the Guozijian, and with Dr. Yu's care, I can rest assured." ”

Mrs. Cheng was moved, "Just as you said, I will hand Dr. Yu a letter of worship first, and lead you to visit together, after setting the name, Ah Jin will follow Dr. Yu to study, and you should recuperate at home first." Since Mrs. Cheng has made up her mind, she will no longer look forward and backward, maybe this matter will attract everyone's criticism and the anger of Empress Dowager Cheng, but as a mother, for the lifelong happiness of her children, these reproaches are really nothing.
