Chapter 81: Who Says Women Are Useless?
"Actually, I'm not just here to discuss with you how to deal with Daddy's blame in the future."
Mrs. Yu suddenly said: "There are some things that I can't even tell my eldest brother to him, but there have been a lot of things in the house recently, and I can't help but have some doubts in my heart, although our Ye family is a big family, but is it necessarily good for a daughter who has been raised like this?" ”
"How can you think that?"
Ji Shuhua looked at the sister-in-law in front of him with some surprise and said: "The Ye family is a scholarly family, and my father is a contemporary Hongru, how can what his old man say be wrong?" ”
"Growing up, I never questioned my father and mother, but ......"
Mrs. Yu sighed, and told Ji Shuhua what happened in the General's Mansion recently.
Then he said: "Look at it, I have been confined to the boudoir since I was a child, except for the female celebrity, I don't know anything, I don't even know my name." A huge general's mansion can only be handed over to others to take care of, if it weren't for A-Ning's success in the past three years, she herself is smart and smart, God knows what this family will be tossed into in the future.
Fortunately, your brother-in-law is a conscientious person who treats me very well, in case I meet a person who likes the new and hates the old, and spoils the concubine and cold wife, I really can't even think about what I will do in the rest of my life. But in this case, I can only think about it occasionally, even with your brother-in-law, I don't dare to reveal half a word, and I can only talk to your eldest sister-in-law to dispel the doubts in my heart. ”
"Actually, what you say is reasonable......
Ji Shuhua was also furious when he heard about the recent events in the General's Mansion.
She thought for a while, and then said slowly: "Actually, I also knew a few words when I was young, but I only read a few poems, and I haven't read those grand works seriously, but even so, when I married your eldest brother, I didn't dare to reveal that I could write poems and fill in the lyrics, otherwise I would make my father unhappy."
Although I also deeply feel that it is inappropriate for my daughter's family to not know a word, but after all, I am a daughter-in-law, and it is difficult to say that no matter how little I say about my father's family rules and tutoring. Now that you can figure it out for yourself, it's also a good thing, since A-Ning is extremely talented, smart and quick-witted, and should be cultivated by a good student, who says that women are useless? In ancient times, Nuwa also made people out of the soil. ”
"That's what the eldest sister-in-law said."
Mrs. Yu listened to Ji Shuhua's words, and her doubts were swept away, and she smiled and said: "Actually, I am telling you this, I also want to tell you about Xinmei, this child is also a very smart person, you must not listen to Daddy everything, let this child follow in my footsteps, it will be useless in the future, if you are unlucky, you will be squeezed by others." ”
"I know that."
Ji Shuhua blinked and said, "Two years ago, Xinmei secretly begged Xinzhu to teach her to read and write, but I just pretended not to know." Father is busy with business on weekdays, no one at home mentions it, and Xinmei doesn't show off, he won't know. ”
"That's good, then I'll be relieved." Mrs. Yu clapped her hands and smiled.
"Sister Mei."
Yu Wanning pulled Ye Xinmei to sit down in the boat on the lotus pond and asked: "When I returned to my grandfather's house with my mother in the first month, I mentioned to you again, although it is my daughter's family, I should also think of reading and reading, do you take it to heart?" ”
"Actually......"
Ye Xinmei looked outside and saw that there was no one, so she leaned into Yu Wanning's ear and smiled: "Actually, after you told me these words two years ago, I begged my brother to teach me to read and write, but I was afraid that my grandfather would know, so I hid everyone except me and my brother."
When you came to the house in the first month, and when I talked about it again, I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid that you would not be able to hide the words in your mouth when you were young, and your grandfather would know that he would punish me and my brother, and maybe I would have to involve my father and aunt to be reprimanded, so I didn't tell you. Since you asked again today, I'll tell you, but don't tell others, even your aunt, after all, you don't know about grandpa's temper. ”
"That'll be fine."
After listening to Ye Xinmei's words, Yu Wanning let go of her heart, patted her chest and assured her that she would never say it.
In the last life, although Yu Wanning's husband Ji Anchen overwhelmed his brothers to inherit the throne, he could not escape the more brutal usurpation struggle after all.
At that time, Yu Wanning's aunt, who had become the queen mother, used the most cruel means to remove all his support forces in order to depose Ji Anchen.
The General's Mansion and the Ye family naturally bore the brunt.
The General's Mansion was destroyed, the Ye family was demoted, and the family was exiled.
Obviously, according to the old practice, the daughter who has already left the boudoir does not have to be connected, but only because Ye Xinmei and Yu Wanning sisters have a very good relationship, at that time, she was married to the prince of Jing'an, but she was also ordered to leave the Ji clan by a piece of paper, and was questioned with her mother's family, and then died in exile, and even her five-month-old fetus was stillborn.
The prince of Jing'an lost his beloved wife, and he ended up crazy.
Although King Jing'an was not angry, King Huai'an, who was in charge of the Zongren Mansion at that time, was ordered by the Empress Dowager Yu to issue a clan order, and King Jing'an was also so pressed that he couldn't raise his head, so he could only sigh in vain.
Reliving a lifetime, Yu Wanning secretly swore that she would not only protect herself and Ji Anchen, but also protect the most important people around her.
That's why Yu Wanning is so concerned about whether Ye Xinmei has anything to do with reading and studying, after all, she is really strong when she is strong.
It's just this painstaking effort, I'm afraid that no one can understand it at present.
The guests have basically arrived, and when it was time for the banquet, Yu Weiyong, the housekeeper of the Yu Mansion, instructed his subordinates to go around to find the guests who were scattered around the mansion chatting and talking, and went to the front yard to take a seat.
Because of the large number of guests, even if the front hall of Yufu is extremely spacious, it is impossible to sit, so there are many seats placed in the courtyard in front of the hall.
Hearing that a maid came to spread the word, Yu Wanning took Ye Xinmei to find her aunt and aunt.
As soon as I arrived in the front yard, I ran into it.
For such a birthday banquet, the arrangement of seats is also exquisite, first talking about respect and humility, and then talking about intimacy.
Old Mrs. Yu is the protagonist today, and naturally sits in the front hall as the first chairman, next to Mrs. Han, the first assistant of the cabinet, and the wives of the other two cabinet ministers, and then the daughter-in-law Yao Shi, who has the status of a second-rank order, as well as three princesses with distinguished status, and a third-grade lady.
There was another seat vacant, and when she saw Ji Shuhua coming in, Yao hurriedly stepped forward to greet her and asked Ji Shuhua to sit in the seat reserved for her.
"No need."
Ji Shuhua smiled faintly and said: "I don't like to go out for a long time, so I don't know the princess and wife here anymore, so in order to avoid everyone being uncomfortable, I still go to another seat with Qin Xiang." ”
