Chapter 426: Worry
"Lord Liu is polite!" Dealing with officials is really a technical job, and I don't know how to survive in the future! After sending Liu Shangshu away, Yu Xiaocao stretched her waist, crossed her legs on another chair, and squatted beside her obediently, helping her pinch her sore calves.
This is what I saw when the house town came in. He laughed and said, "Yo! Who's an official is here, the official is not very big, but the shelf is full of display. If your godmother sees it, she will be nagging you for a few days! ”
Yu Xiaocao was sealed as an official, and the house town was happy for her for a while, but Mrs. Fang was worried. You say, a good girl's family, not in the inner courtyard with the rules and housekeepers, mixed with a group of old men to run errands, let outsiders say? It is estimated that there are a lot of people who don't deal with the general's mansion, and they have already prepared melon seed snacks, waiting to see the excitement!
Originally, Mrs. Fang's plan was to bring her to the house when her goddaughter was twelve or thirteen years old, detain her temperament, learn more things that a lady should learn, take her to a few flower parties and tea parties, and see a good family affair.
Now it's troublesome, first of all, the king of Yangjun who is rumored to be a cold-faced killer, follows and follows without suspicion all day long. Her close friends came to ask her more than once if she had set her goddaughter as a concubine for the king of Yangjun in order to plan for her master.
Is she that kind of person? She loves Xiaocao's heart, only she knows it, she is closer than her daughter, she wants to give her the best in everything, especially in marriage, and she doesn't want to wronged her. Why was it rumored that he had become the future of his own master, and sent his daughter to be a concubine shamelessly? The grievance in Mrs. Fang's heart!
The emperor didn't bother to get a kick in the ground, you said that you let Xiaocao help you farm the fields, and send someone to make a decree in private, or pass on an edict. Why bother summoning a six-grade sesame petty official into the palace with great fanfare. This...... Isn't that embarrassing?
Since ancient times, how many women can be officials? Even Shangguan Wan'er, who was next to Emperor Zetian, did not end well in the end. Which of the ministers in the court is not arrogant and originally intended to be an official with a woman? Don't look at the emperor's will, except for the emperor and Liu Shangshu of the household who really plan for the people of the world, how many people really look up to her family?
What kind of grace is this, Your Majesty? It's really a way for her goddaughter to marry the children of the eunuchs! is those who have been in the family for many years and have fallen into the first place, who is willing to marry Yu Xiaocao, who shows up all day long and holds a joke in the eyes of others? As soon as the holy decree came, Mrs. Fang was so angry that her chest hurt. Your Majesty, you're too embarrassed to do this!
Yu Xiaocao, who was teased by her godfather, knew the knot in her godmother's heart, smiled hehe, and put down her feet. After seeing my godfather, he said: "I won't occupy my godfather's study, go back to the yard to change my clothes first, lest my godmother see me wearing this official uniform and say that I am nondescript and unhappy." ”
Remembering what his mother-in-law told him last night, Fang Zhen sighed and said, "Your godmother is really planning for you." Think about it, many of those children of official families in the capital haven't got a six-grade errand yet? But any young man with a face, who is willing to press his wife on his head? Your godmother is worried about your future family affairs! ”
Yu Xiaocao smiled indifferently and said, "I know that my godmother is for my good." My father said he wanted to keep me until I was eighteen years old. Isn't there still six or seven years left? Those who really love me as a person will not be blinded and shackled by those worldly eyes, those who think too much, worry about this and that, and look down on women in their bones, daughters are not rare! A creature like a true man is fortunate to be my life, not my life! It's all about fate!! In the future, if I can't find something that suits my heart, it's nothing to live alone. Godfather, godmother and Xiao Linlin, can you still watch me starve and be bullied? ”
"Phew! What to say? The daughter of my house town is still worried about getting married? Our Xiaocao is so good, and the chefs at a young age are not as good as the chefs, and they can make money. Those who don't look down on us are blind, and they are not worthy of our grass at all!! Can't you say that you're single for a lifetime, if your godmother hears it, you won't be allowed to lie in bed for ten days and a half months? House Town glared at the little girl and blamed her for talking nonsense.
Yu Xiaocao is not afraid of this godfather, but she is a little stunned when she faces her godmother. It's not that the godmother treats her badly, but it's too good, thinks about her everywhere, and strives to make her a virtuous and virtuous lady from a famous family. The thought of walking, talking, and restricting her every move, like a monkey under a shackle, gave her a headache.
Chong Gandad made a grimace, and Yu Xiaocao led Xichun to his yard. As soon as she entered the door, a creature shaped like a meat ball pounced, staggered, hugged her legs, raised her face and called "sister" in a milky voice.
"Yo! Why is Xiao Linlin in my sister's yard? Waiting for my sister to come back? "Bending down and picking up the little guy is really a bit heavy. The little one has a lot of weight!
Fang Haolin's nurse smiled happily and said, "Big girl, as soon as you went out, the little boy came to you shouting." No, it's an afternoon of waiting, and I don't know how many times I've been talking about it in between. If you don't come back, our little boy will be in trouble! ”
Mrs. Fang had already beaten the maid in the house, and she had to be the same as Miss Yu Xiaocao, and she must not be sloppy and disrespectful. Otherwise, go out with a stick! In addition, the four big maids around Madame are all respectful to the young lady, and others dare not make mistakes.
The nurse was also shrewd, and from time to time she took the little boy to walk around the girl's yard. There are young ladies here who can't help but want to be close, and there are many snacks that have not been eaten, and Fang Haolin's little pot friend runs to his sister's yard three times a day, and every time he stays until he has lunch or dinner before he is satisfied to leave.
Yu Xiaocao hugged her little brother and returned to her room. As soon as the young lady entered the general's mansion, the news spread to the courtyard. At this time, hot water was already prepared in the clean room, and Wutong was already holding the clothes that the young lady often wore and waiting beside him.
"Loquat, take the peaches to the little master to eat. It's almost dinner, just feed him half of it. Yu Xiaocao handed the heavy lump of flesh to the nurse's hand. It had only been so many miles from the courtyard gate to the room that her arms were sore. In the future, I have to make a suggestion to my godmother, the little guy can walk steadily, you can't always let people hold it, come down and run by yourself, and exercise it. lest he grow into a big fat man in the future and not be able to marry a daughter-in-law.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. She is also too worried, her godfather was born as a military general, and she can let her only son grow up in the inner courtyard. Considering that his godfather is planning now, when his son is three or four years old, he will let him practice basic skills.
After taking a simple shower and changing into comfortable clothes, Yu Xiaocao led the younger brother who had eaten most of the set to the main courtyard. Mrs. Fang has been waiting in her room for a long time.
Letting the nurse take away Xiao Budian, who wanted to stay with her sister, Mrs. Fang asked with concern, "Why did you go for so long?" The emperor didn't embarrass you, right? ”
Yu Xiaocao saw that the godmother's face was a little sallow, and there was obvious blue and black under her eyes, obviously she hadn't rested much in the past few days, so she stepped forward, took her hand, and said with a smile: "Godmother, the emperor has always been merciful, how can you embarrass me, a little girl?" The emperor cared about farming and asked me a few more words about farming. Don't worry, the errand given to me by the emperor is what I am best at, and I will definitely not disappoint the emperor and your godmother! ”
Mrs. Fang patted her daughter's soft and delicate little hands, this is a pair of tender white hands that can't be compared to famous ladies! Such little hands should have stayed in the inner house to do needlework, flip through idle books, play with flowers and plants when they are happy, and pick up pastries and enjoy tea when they are unhappy.
As a result, now, he has to work with a group of household officials to tending to the crops. It's not that she looks down on the peasant girl who helps the family do farm work, in the past, her daughter helped the family grow vegetables and melons to make pickled vegetables, isn't she a person who doesn't say a word? Alas...... Accidentally, I thought of something terrible again, and in less than a while, Mrs. Fang had already sighed a few times.
Yu Xiaocao hurriedly comforted: "Godmother, I was made an official, which is the emperor's affirmation of my ability." Leave the imperial village to me to manage, carrying the emperor's expectations for me and the love for the people of the world. When I returned to Dongshan Village, those little sisters knew that I was an official, and I didn't know how envious I was! ”
Seeing that Mrs. Fang still had an expression that she couldn't think about, she continued: "Godmother, thunder and rain and dew, they are all Jun'en." Besides, I like this errand. As long as the crops are planted well, aren't the hundreds of hectares of imperial farms, along with a few nearby hills, all at the disposal of her daughter? We can plant all kinds of fruit trees on the top of the mountain, and set aside a part of the field to grow vegetables and melons. In this way, the spring harvest vegetables and summer harvest melons, not to mention the convenience of eating and using by yourself, can also have more inputs. ”
"Nonsense! Since the emperor has entrusted you with important tasks, you will do your errands honestly, and don't engage in those who don't. If you are impeached by someone with a heart, the emperor will blame it, and you will have good fruit to eat! Mrs. Fang was told by her and had to recognize the facts. Since it can't be changed, give her the greatest support and let her have no worries.
Alas! She's not a qualified godmother. The little girl in her family was named an official and summoned alone, and she must have been very nervous and frightened when she faced this situation suddenly. And instead of giving her support and help, she fell ill and needed her daughter's comfort. Alas...... It's really alive and going back! didn't have a son by her side, and when she faced the rumors in Beijing, didn't she bravely survive? Why did you become cowardly after becoming a mother?
What my daughter said is right, it is a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, I am afraid that it is useless, the key depends on how to turn harm into benefit! She didn't believe it, with the titles of her master, General Sanpin and Count Zhongqin (which was sealed after the Japanese incident), she couldn't find a satisfactory husband for her own girl?
