Chapter 42: Small Talk

Thanks to Luoyan's peach blossom fan, it is the biggest reward that Xiaodrunk has received, thank you, thank you for the lazy rabbit peace charm who loves to read, thank you for your support, Xiaodrunk continues to work hard.

Shu Yao was very curious about Li Zhiqing's experience in the palace, every time she went to ask the old lady to say goodbye, the old lady kept saying that Li Zhiqing was valued by the Queen Mother, how luxurious the Forbidden City was, and when Mrs. Gu knew that Emperor Kangxi ordered the princess and concubine to serve the sick, Shu Yao clearly felt the joy and pride that erupted from the second aunt, her waist straightened up, and she opened her mouth and closed her mouth without leaving the prince, Shu Yao understood that Li Zhiqing's ultimate goal and the second aunt were two people.

Shu Yao didn't pay much attention to the outside things, but she had also heard that the prince was the concubine of Emperor Kangxi, and the preface was the second elder brother, the second and fourth were different, Shu Yao was unkind and thought that if Li Zhiqing married the fourth elder brother, she would miss the future emperor, the current prince, and the second aunt would be so sad.

As expected by the Guerjia family, since Li Zhiqing offered ginseng, more and more nobles came to the Duke's Palace, although Li Zhiqing was still in the palace, but everyone did not believe that the young Li Zhiqing had a thousand-year-old spiritual root, it must have been sent to the palace by the Duke's Mansion in the name of Li Zhiqing, the old duke Shu Mulu Jiha had already been sick, and the nobles were not easy to disturb, so they entangled the old lady, Guerjia was very obedient, after Zhiyuan left the capital, she in addition to asking for peace every day, guarding the door of the second room, even if the old lady wanted the Guerjia family to entertain the nobles, she could not find anyone.

When the husband leaves the capital, the wife is to guard the women's way, the Guerjia clan is justified, at this time, the women's way is the best weapon in the eyes of the Guerjia clan, and the Guerjia clan proudly explained to Shu Yao: "Women's virtue depends on how you use it, usually it's bullshit, but now, it's very easy to use, let's not live up to the good intentions of the saint." ”

Shu Yao nodded her little head, bullshit, well, it's bullshit, Eniang is really amazing, and the Tang Dynasty noblewoman is worthy of her name. Shu Yao frowned and asked, "When will Ama come back?" ”

"If you Ama don't make a mistake, you will be promoted again when you come back, I estimate that there is hope for being a squire in the Ministry of Industry, the embankment on the Yellow River is newly built, even if there is a cat greasy can carry it for a while, remember that the person who presided over the embankment is the famous Qing official Yu Chengchan, I think he will never be greedy for black-hearted silver, you Ama walked around, it is a great credit."

"According to what you say, didn't the emperor deliberately give credit to Amma?"

Guerjia put tourmaline earrings on her daughter, and touched Shu Yao's little face by the way, it was too silky and delicate, could it be that there were such benefits for snooze? Other people's daughters are like shallots, and their own daughters are the finest and smoothest milk, touched and touched, Shu Yao got into Guerjia's arms, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, "Eniang." ”

"Alright, alright, I'm not going to tease you." The Guerjia clan hugged Shu Yao happily, her daughter was still her own, and it didn't hurt enough, "Jane is in the emperor's heart, this is the benefit, otherwise your Ama ten boards will not be in vain?" ”

"Ten boards can be exchanged for promotion, and everyone will choose to be on the board."

Guerjia was amused by Shu Yao, "Silly girl, taking the board is a skill, you Ama is upright, but you are very measured in your heart, I am afraid that he will face Yu Chengchan now, and your Amana's temper can't be changed." ”

"Doesn't Ama admire Qing officials very much?" Shu Yao was puzzled, "It is said that he should become a close friend with Yu Chengchan." ”

The corners of Guerjia's mouth showed a hint of mockery, "Yao'er, do you know what is the most satisfying thing about your Amma?" ”

This is also Shu Yao's biggest doubt since she learned that Eniang Guerjia is a Tang noblewoman, from Eniang's handling of things, it seems that she is shrewd and capable, how beautiful the Tang noblewoman is, she can be Amma's virtuous helper with peace of mind, if Ama has nothing to offer, Shu Yao doesn't believe it.

"He is upright and not pedantic, although he is loyal to the monarch but can judge the situation, it is commendable that he will not treat his children and wives badly in order to clear his name, Qing Guan, it sounds good, but what kind of life do the wives and children of Qing officials live? Eating bran and pharyngeal vegetables made him a clean official? Even if you can't protect your wife and children, if you don't sweep a room, how can you sweep the world? Shu Yao, not all Qing officials are good, think about Hai Rui, the Qing official of the former Ming Dynasty, starved his daughter to death, just because... It's just because my daughter was so hungry that she ate a piece of bread given by passers-by, and she couldn't support her daughter, damn it, what a clean official, it's all bullshit, bullshit. ”

"Eniang, don't get excited, don't get excited." Shu Yao hugged Guerjia's arm, her little white hands were smooth for Guarjia's family, it was not good to read too much, she was girly, Shu Yao didn't like to read history books, she didn't know who Hai Rui was at all, Shu Yao found another excuse for her rice worm lazy days, and it was actually very good to sleep.

Shu Yao didn't dare to ask about Hai Rui again, the Guerjia clan let out a sigh of relief, looked at Shu Yao, and eased his anger: "Scared you?" ”

"Eniang, my daughter will never be scared by you at any time."

"Good."

Shu Yao's intimate attachment behavior made Guerjia very happy, although her daughter was a little lazy, but intimate, I don't know how many times better than Li Zhiqing, "You Ama hate fame and reputation the most, and it is rare to be a clean official, but it is not because he is a clean official that he will not do wrong things, the world often forgives his mistakes because of his reputation as a clean official, I am worried about you Ama and Yu Chengchan confrontation now." ”

"I don't think Yu Jackie Chan can say Amma." Shu Yao snapped his fingers and said: "On eloquence and quoting scriptures, the eldest brother recognizes the second, no one dares to recognize the second, Ama is average, and the third in the world." ”

Guerjia poked Shu Yao's little head, "You, you've been listened to by outsiders, and you don't know how to arrange your eldest brother." ”

"If you're not convinced, just compare it with the eldest brother, Eniang, I really, really think that the eldest brother is invincible in this regard."

In order to emphasize this, Shu Yao's little face tightened, emphasizing that she was very serious, not joking, but it was not clear enough to read Shuxuan and ask how many well-educated people had run? The most important thing about the eldest brother Shuxuan is that every sentence can be found in the original text of the Four Books and Five Classics, instead of reading it out according to the book, it is clear and easy to learn and use, not to read dead books, Shu Yao admires this quite a lot, whenever the eldest brother drags the text, Shu Yao thinks... They all want to sleep, really, more than a lullaby.

Shuxuan can say that he is running anyone, only his sister is listening, and he can only say that Shu Yao's ability to sleep with her eyes open is getting stronger and stronger, and Shuxuan is stunned and doesn't see it.

"Madam, the embroiderer who cut the girl's clothes has arrived."

"Let her in."

Guerjia let go of Shu Yao and tidied up the collar of her daughter's new cheongsam, "Make a few more clothes, I won't treat my daughter badly." ”

"Hmm." Shu Yao agreed very neatly, she didn't want anything at all, since E-Niang let her make clothes and jewelry for Shu Yao, it means that their family can fully afford Shu Yao's exquisite days. Although Shu Yao can't embroider, it doesn't prevent her from appreciating the exquisite embroidery, the embroidery on the cheongsam and other clothes is beautiful, as delicate as a work of art, Shu Yao likes it very much, it's all silk, silky and smooth, in addition to military uniforms in her previous life, she didn't wear good-looking clothes, and she must make up for it in this life.

Tong Jia, who was busy entertaining nobles, heard that Guarjia had found an embroidery girl to make clothes for Shu Yao, and her eyes flashed with resentment: "The six girls are not good enough to eat and wear?" Look at her purple slanted cheongsam today, brand new, this is making clothes, what kind of strength is it in the second room, and she is not afraid of tossing the blessings of the six girls? ”

"The slave maid heard that the second wife ordered someone to find a leather merchant, the capital is cold, and the sixth girl can't stand the cold in Huizhou, so she wants to buy good skins for the winter."

Tong Jiashi said: "Don't say it. Thinking of the money in her hands now, the silver is in the hands of the old lady, the old lady is clenched tightly, it is a dime, she also wants to make clothes for her daughter to buy skins, but there is no silver, Shu Jing said well, in front of the old lady, the old lady will never treat her badly, but the eldest daughter Shu Wan, Tong Jiashi as long as she thinks of Shu Yao's dress, she feels very sorry for Shu Wan.

The Guerjia clan never deliberately hides it, nor does it deliberately say that there is no silver, the Guerjia clan that should be handed over to the house will not be stingy, and the rest of the silver is earned by her ability, no one wants to be greedy, she is willing to spoil her daughter and give her daughter the best life, who can manage it? If you are not convinced, you can too, Tong Jiashi can only grit her teeth secretly and curse a few words, she is far from Guarjia's knowledge, she will only save silver, she has never thought of making money, at most she will go to the old lady, counting on the old lady's fingers to show some silver, her husband Zhicheng's official position is not high, there is no oil and water, although Tong Jia's family married two small Zhuangzi, but Tong Jia's family is willing to give her daughter flowers? They are all well hidden, ready to be used by their sons and daughters-in-law.

"Eniang, is it okay?" Shu Yao found that choosing clothes was very tiring, but Guerjia was full of interest, pointing to the pearl-red satin and said, "This color is made into four pieces according to the pattern I just discussed." ”

"Yes." A smile bloomed on the embroidery girl's face, "Madame's good eye, look at this snow satin, which matches the girl's skin color, and then embroider the green lotus, the girl wears it out..."

"It's not good, it's too plain, my daughter doesn't wear pretending to be elegant clothes, the snow satin is good, embroider me with white peonies."

"Madame is very knowledgeable."

Guerjia and Xiuniang discussed, Shu Yao calculated, today just made more than ten sets of clothes, looking at Guerjia's appearance, if you don't get enough twenty sets, you won't stop, Shu Yao sighed, it's good to have a rich mother.

The embroidery tailor left happily, this is a big business, after there is a good satin and good tricks are to get a visit to the Duke's Palace, Guarjia's bearing is extraordinary, although generous, but there is no sense of outbreak, the bones reveal the noble, the vision is unique, the color is good, there are few ladies to compare, the embroidery tailor does not dare to despise, and does not dare to fool the Guerjia.

"Wait for the lady to get the skin, and make a few more fashionable collars."

"Hmm."

Shu Yao lazily leaned on the Guerjia clan, "Eniang, when did you say that my cousin will return home?" ”

"I guess I'll have to wait a few days..."

"Master, the Empress Dowager has sent her cousin back."
