Chapter 17: The Trouble of Practicing Words

Ye Chuqing's academic career officially began.

If you want to find a way back, you have to meet the national teacher or Master Yikong. If you want to see them, you have to go into the palace. If you want to enter the palace, you must learn the palace rules.

For this, Ye Chuqing couldn't understand it better. Therefore, learning palace rules and etiquette, Ye Chuqing did not resist at all. And the excitement is still relatively high, and the learning is also good. Xu was very pleased, and praised him no less than a dozen times in two hours.

But then something happened that gave her a headache.

When practicing writing, Ye Chuqing couldn't write at all.

Looking at Ye Chuxia again, this eldest female personality is very similar to herself, gentle and modest, dignified and beautiful, elegant and calm, she is a model of everyone's ladies and a role model for famous daughters. Ye Chuxia has studied homework since he was a child, and he knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he knows all poetry and songs. Women's red needlework and cooking and tea art are also among the best among the major celebrities.

But what about the youngest daughter? I've been a little wild since I was a child.,What I'm most interested in is dancing knives and guns.。 Because of Master Yikong's prophecy, the youngest daughter has not been free since she was a child, and has been confined in Qingfang Garden. However, he did not snub her, nor did he neglect her. On the contrary, when Ye Chuqing was six years old, he asked people to teach Ye Chuqing female red needlework, play the piano and make tea.

But...... Every time she went to teach her how to do needlework, her mother was pricked with needles all over her body. The person who went to teach her how to make tea was filled with water from her every time, and her face turned green when she heard the tea again. There was no way, so Xu gave up first, thinking that he would teach her when she was older. In his selfish heart, Xu still felt that Ye Chuqing had been confined to the courtyard since she was a child and had no freedom, so she had a bad temperament, so she accommodated. For this little daughter, she is extremely fond of her, so after she was coquettish, she promised not to let her learn those lessons for the time being.

But now she's ten years old! If you don't learn it, it'll be too late!

Xu Shi looked at the eldest daughter, and then at the younger daughter, and finally sighed. It seems that he has to be harsh on his little daughter. If you don't study again, what will you do if you get married in the future?

Xu thought about it, then got up and walked to the table and watched the two sisters write.

Ye Chuxia sat upright and wrote seriously. She writes about hairpins, as beautiful and beautiful as herself.

Turned his head to look at Ye Chuqing. She was twisting her eyebrows, wrinkling her little face, pouting her mouth, and writing stroke by stroke, but she was quite serious. But the words she wrote...... It's terrible.

At this time, Ye Chuqing was very resentful. Why is it bad for her to have to write calligraphy? Well, in this era, the brush is used, and what is written is the brush word. But she's a modern person! God knows, what she is most afraid of is calligraphy.

I still remember that when I was a child, my father enrolled her in a special class during the holidays to practice calligraphy. It was normal for her to see others writing with a brush, but when the brush came into her hand, she became disobedient and wrote crookedly. Her writing is like the traces of insects, and it has nothing to do with the beauty of calligraphy. The teacher criticized her, and her classmates laughed at her. So in a fit of rage, she never went to learn calligraphy again. Dad had no choice but to let her learn taekwondo.

In other words, her father is a veteran, and she has practiced a few tricks since she was a child. Learning taekwondo is exactly what she is most willing to do.

So, since then, she has never met with the brush again. For more than 20 years, she couldn't remember how to hold a pen. Just now, it was Ye Chuxia who taught her how to hold the pen!

She held the brush and wrote the calligraphy, feeling extremely aggrieved. But there was no way, she had to mix as a girl from the Ye family for two months, and she was able to enter the palace in this capacity. When she saw the national teacher and the old monk, hum! When the time comes, everything here has nothing to do with her!

Well, bear with me for now, and don't make trouble! After the national holy day in peace and stability, then everything is OK!

The more Ye Chuqing thought about it, the better her mood became. But the Xu family standing in front of her was not in such a good mood!

"What did you write?" Xu asked coldly. She couldn't stand it anymore! Ye Chuqing's writing was simply unsightly, but she was still biting the pen in a daze, smirking twice from time to time. This...... What's going on?

Ye Chuqing was stunned, raised her head, changed her face with an aggrieved look, and began to pout: "Mother, I have written several words, you see, my hands are sore." Ye Chuqing raised her hand to show Xu Shi while being coquettish.

Xu Shi is now a little angry, and naturally no longer indulges her coquettishness: "Okay." Her tone was a little harsher than usual: "You just wrote so many times, and your hands were sore?" You see that your sister has been writing for so long, why don't you see that she is tired? ”

"Because she's a sister!" Ye Chuqing pursed her lips and immediately retorted: "Besides, my sister has been able to write since she was a child, and she is a talented girl among countless boudoir daughters, can I compare with her?" ”

Xu Shi was speechless angrily, paused for a moment, and then said: "Okay, even so, then look at it, what did you write?" Although your previous handwriting was not very good-looking, it was still passable. But now, you can't read it, let alone say that it's better than before. Tell me yourself, what did you write? Can you recognize it? ”

Although Ye Chuqing was surprised by Xu's anger today, she was sure that Xu's favor for Ye Chuqing was still there. Therefore, she began to pretend to be stupid again: "I wrote it, of course what I wrote is words!" Ye Chuqing smiled and pointed to the past one by one: "This is a person, this is a text, this is the sky, this is flat, and this is a big ,......."

"Enough!" Xu Shi interrupted Ye Chuqing's words sharply, pointed to the words she wrote and asked, "Look, look for yourself, does this character look like a person?" Distinctly like eight. This text looks like a cross. And Tianping, which word do you say you can recognize? ”

Ye Chuqing blinked, looking innocent: "Then isn't this big and small good?" ”

"How's it good?" Xu Shi asked sharply, and was suddenly speechless.

Seeing this, Ye Chuxia hurriedly ran over to support Xu's family, and comforted him softly: "Mother, don't worry about it first." The little sister may have not written for a long time, and she is a little rusty. I'll teach her well. ”

Xu sat down, stroked his chest and sighed: "Alas! You said that the two of you are obviously sisters, why is the gap so big? Ouch, what can I do? ”

Ye Chuqing immediately stuck to it, got into Xu's arms and arched back and forth, and called out coquettishly: "Mother! ”

Xu sighed helplessly, stretched out his hand to stroke Ye Chuqing's hair, and said, "You say, what should my mother do with you!" ”

Ye Chuqing raised her head from Xu's arms, and said with a grin: "Hit me...... Of course you can't bear it! Scolding me, it doesn't work! So, my mother can't help me! ”

Ye Chuxia covered her lips and chuckled when she heard her words: "Little sister's skin is getting thicker and thicker, and she is more and more sharp-toothed!" ”

Ye Chuqing jumped out of Xu's arms excitedly, blinked her eyes and said, "Of course!" If the tree does not have bark, it will surely die. People don't want to be invincible in the world! ”

As soon as these words came out, Ye Chuxia's face suddenly changed, and he looked terrified: "No...... Little sister, I'm ...... That's not what it means......"

"Hey, hey!" Ye Chuqing laughed heartlessly: "What's this?" Am I just thick-skinned enough? Otherwise, how can you make my father and mother happy and spoil me so much? I will make persistent efforts to reach the invincible world as soon as possible, so that no one will dare to bully you in the future! ”

Xu Shi smiled and scratched her nose, and said with a smile: "Just your crooked reasoning!" ”

Ye Chuxia said with a smile: "Little sister is so pleasing to people, we all can't wait to spoil her to the sky!" ”

Ye Chuqing raised her head and said with a smile: "Mother, why don't you give me another little brother or little sister!" In this way, you can spoil the youngest, you don't spoil me so much, maybe I'll be sensible! In the future, we will all pet this youngest! ”

Who knew that as soon as Xu Shi heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, and there seemed to be a sad color spreading.

Ye Chuqing looked at Xu, a little puzzled. Turning his head to look at Ye Chuxia again, he saw that she was also at a loss, and suddenly guessed in his heart, what did he say wrong?

Xu stood up suddenly, and walked out without saying anything. I met Ye Qingyun at the door.

Ye Qingyun saw that his wife's face was not good, and there was sadness on her face that could not be hidden, and she was suddenly shocked: "Qianru, what happened?" ”

Xu called out with teary eyes: "Xianggong! Then he turned around and hurried away. Ye Qingyun didn't have time to say anything, so he immediately chased after him. Mother Sun, Mother Lin, and the eldest girl Fei'er beside Xu's side, who originally chased to the door, all looked at each other and stopped, and then only Mother Sun followed.

Xu's name, Qianru. Ye Qingyun has always been called Mrs. in front of people, and only calls her name in private. The Xu family has always called Ye Qingyun in front of people, and he is called Xianggong in private. Shicai may be in a hurry, and the two of them actually called out their private names.

Ye Chuqing froze in place, and only exhaled for a while before muttering, "What's wrong?" He turned around and ran to Ye Chuxia and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with my mother?" ”

Ye Chuxia shook his head stunned and said, "I don't know either." For so many years, although my mother sometimes feels sad, she never tells me the reason. ”

Ye Chuqing frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly patted his head and shouted, "Oops, it must be my father who bullied my mother!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room, including Ye Chuxia, looked at her strangely.

However, Ye Chuqing, who was immersed in his own thoughts, didn't notice it at all, and said even more amazingly: "It can't be that my father has an affair, right?" Just now I was sad when I mentioned my little brother and sister! It must be that Dad has a good relationship outside! ”

Everyone suddenly twitched, and they were quite impressed by the imagination of the second girl.

But Ye Chuqing didn't seem to be finished, and suddenly exclaimed: "I'm going, shouldn't it be my father who wants to take a concubine?" No wonder my mother is sad! Ouch hey! ”

Everyone only felt a crow flying overhead.

Ye Chuxia saw that the more she talked, the more she didn't speak, so she pulled her arm and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

At this time, Mother Lin, who was at the door, finally couldn't listen anymore, and slowly walked in and saluted, saying, "It's better for the slave to tell the two girls about this matter!" Lest the girls speculate! ”

Mother Lin is Xu's companion, brought by Xu from her mother's family, and is often Xu's spokesperson.

Ye Chuxia nodded, and Mother Lin said, "The second girl just said that the old man took a concubine, that is impossible to happen. ”

Ye Chuqing was a little puzzled: "Why?" ”

Mother Lin recounted: "When Mrs. entered the Ye family, there was an old lady on it! Soon after the lady entered the door, she became pregnant and gave birth to a big girl. The old lady has been looking forward to being a grandson, but she didn't want to give birth to a granddaughter, so the old lady was a little unhappy and wanted to take a concubine for the old man. The old man refused, and the old lady was not easy to force each other, but she always scolded the lady for being ignorant. But for some reason, after Mrs. gave birth to a big girl, she never conceived again. For this, she suffered the humiliation of the old lady. ”

Hearing this, Ye Chuqing suddenly sighed with emotion: "Typical evil mother-in-law! ”

Mother Lin quickly glanced at her, a trace of unknown emotion flashed in her eyes, and she quickly hid it and continued: "In this way, when the eldest girl was more than four years old, the old lady forced the old lady to take a concubine. If the lord does not agree, he will divorce his wife. The old man had no choice but to compromise, and according to the old lady's wishes, he married the old lady's niece Wen's niece and became a flat wife. ”

"Flat wife?" Ye Chuqing began to be shocked again: "There is still such a position?" Turning his head, he saw Ye Chuxia's face pale, and he didn't say anything more.

Mother Lin continued: "Soon after Wen entered the door, Mrs. Wen and Wen both sent good news. The old man was very happy, and the old lady was also very happy, and they both attached great importance to the belly of the lady and the Wen family. More than nine months have passed in a blink of an eye, and I am about to give birth, but something happened at this time. ”

The hearts of the two sisters were suspended, and Ye Chuxia tightly twisted the handkerchief in her hand, looking frightened. Ye Chuqing looked at Mother Lin with big eyes, gossipy

looks.

"Wen relied on the identity of the old lady's niece, and had thoughts that should not have been. thought that as long as he gave birth to a son, he could change from a flat wife to a regular wife. So, Wen came up with a poisonous plan. Mother Lin's eyes gradually became distant, as if she was recalling the scene at that time: "It was a sunny afternoon, and Mrs. Wen asked Mrs. Wen to go for a walk with the old lady in the back garden. Madame thought it was okay to have the old lady here, so she went. After walking for a while, the old lady was tired, so she went to the gazebo to rest first. Wen said that there was a strange flower blooming in the flower bush by the pond, and the smell was very fragrant and sweet, and she asked the doctor, and said that the smell of the flower was good for the pregnant woman who smelled the fragrance of the flower. Madame thought it was magical, so she went to see it. After reading it, I didn't notice anything unusual, and the two also drank tea and ate snacks together. Unexpectedly, starting that night, the lady began to vomit and had abdominal pain. I invited a doctor to come and see, but I only said that it was poisoned, but fortunately the poisoning time was not long, if it was delayed for another hour, the fetus in the womb would inevitably be poisoned and could not survive. Mrs. immediately made a decision to ask the doctor to prescribe a pair of life-boosting drugs, and only after nine deaths gave birth to the eldest son and the second girl. However, the wife gave birth due to poisoning, coupled with dystocia, and her body was completely damaged, and she was unable to give birth again. ”

Ye Chuxia's face was ugly, and tears were like rain. Ye Chuqing was dumbfounded, shook her head and sighed: "Damn, the house fight is really dark." After a pause, he suddenly asked, "What about Wen and her child?" ”

Mother Lin sighed and said, "The master was very annoyed when he learned about the matter, and strictly ordered a thorough investigation. In the end, it was found out that it was Wen's ghost. was about to be grounded by the Wen family, just waiting for her to be sent to the Pure Heart Nunnery for cultivation after giving birth. The old lady pleaded again and again, but was questioned by the master. Who knew that Wen was a brave and unscrupulous person, and when he saw that the matter was revealed, he just wanted to escape. So, one night, she escaped from the yard while the maids and mothers were not paying attention, but accidentally fell into the pond. By the time he was found, he had already drowned, with two lives. Since then, the lord has also promised his wife that he will never take a concubine in this life. The old lady was struck by this, fell ill for a while, and died of illness two years later. ”

"Oh!" Ye Chuqing nodded stunned, and suddenly thought of something interesting, so she approached Mother Lin and asked, "How did the Wen family poison?" ”

Mother Lin glanced at Ye Chuqing strangely, and didn't say anything, just replied: "The fragrance of flowers that Wen's said and the pastries eaten by Mrs. use the method of mutual growth and restraint of all things. ”

"But, didn't Wen smell the flowers and eat pastries?" Ye Chuqing frowned and asked, "Why is she okay?" ”

Mother Lin said: "Because Mrs. and Wen's tastes are different, the pastries that Mrs. eats are different from those that Wen's eats. ”

Ye Chuqing nodded slowly, but countless thoughts popped up in her heart. Since Wen is a brave and unscrupulous person, how did she come up with a way to restrain each other with food? And how could she want to replace it? If she was bent on escaping, how could she run away with a big belly? Wouldn't it be easy to wait until you have a child and then run away?

On the other hand, since she has courage and no strategy, there must be a person behind her who makes suggestions. This person...... Ye Chuqing immediately thought of the old lady at that time. At that time, the old lady did everything possible to let Wen enter the door and tried every means to help Wen take the throne. If the Wen family sits firmly in the position of the wife, the old lady and even the old lady's maiden family can benefit. The wealthy family marries, and both parties profit. Therefore, there is no doubt that the person who gave the advice must be the old lady. Presumably, the old lady was also involved in the poisoning of the Xu family.

Unexpectedly, the Xu family made a decision and chose to give birth, which they did not expect. So, the reverse is Wen's bad luck.

Wen was originally banned, and was sent to the house only after giving birth to a child. But why did she have to run away? If you want to escape, wouldn't it be safe to leave home and run away again? Besides, since the old lady is dedicated to protecting her, why did she escape from the yard and not go to the old lady for protection, and what did she do in the back garden? Even if you want to touch the back door, the back door doesn't go through the pond!

As a criminal policeman, Ye Chuqing is used to seeing the darkness of people's hearts, and she also knows all kinds of murder methods. This matter has not been scrutinized at all.

Wen died, who benefited the most? First, the death of an opponent. Second, the child in her womb died and there was no threat. Third, it caused a rift between Ye Qingyun and his mother. Fourth, it made Ye Qingyun feel guilty. Kill four birds with one stone? Hum! Ye Chuqing sneered in her heart. Xu is not like a weak little white flower on the surface. At least that, it shows that she is also a master.

Therefore, Wen did not stumble at all, but was murdered. As for why she was able to escape from the courtyard, it must be that there are people from the Xu family by her side. Or, even about the poisoning, Xu is not unaware. in all probability

Xu's just planned and took a risk with his stomach. The thing was successful, and she had no worries. thought of using the children in the womb, so he loved Ye Chuyang and Ye Chuqing very much.

Ouch hey, that's horrible! Ye Chuqing couldn't help but shudder.
