Although Mrs. Wei asked Cao Yuan to enter the inner house to invite Eleven Niang and did not have any extra explanations, but this confidant servant concubine has loved Eleven Niang from the bottom of her heart after this period of time, most of the reason is of course that she understands that the master really values Eleven Niang, and a small part of it is because Cao Yuan is grateful that Binu had blocked misfortune for her daughter, and the rest is left, Cao Yuan has also experienced a lot of human accidents, and her knowledge is not ordinary, thinking that Eleven Niang is a concubine, and she has returned to Beijing from Jiangnan in less than 100 days. It will never be like this.

Although Cao Yuan is Mrs. Tai's confidant, she is not a small service, she is actually a Liu family's tribe, because her parents died early and were not tolerated by her brother and sister-in-law, she spent a year without food, a year due to cold and cold, she was so sick that she was lying in bed waiting for death, so many good sisters couldn't bear to see her situation, and happened to meet Mrs. Wei that year to inspect the grange, desperate to rush forward to ask for help, Mrs. Tai reprimanded her brother and sister-in-law, and asked her for medical treatment.

After Cao Yuan recovered from her illness, she took the initiative to ask for a maid, originally planning to only do some rough work, but when Mrs. Tai saw that she was loyal, she was promoted to close service, and when she was over 20 years old, she even matched marriage.

The law of the Great Zhou Dynasty stipulates that the tribes are intermarried, and the children born are also lowly and belong to the master's family.

As for the servants of the world, most of them are confidants of the master's family, and they are allowed to marry, and the purpose is also to serve them for generations to be loyal and serviced.

But back then, Cao Yuan's husband was not even a slave, and he was invited by Liu Gong as a staff member, and he was indeed a good citizen.

The good and the cheap are not married, so Cao Yuan got the good book back then.

Although Cao Yuan is a continuation, her husband has no children, and later she gave birth to a son and a daughter for her husband, but unfortunately her son died early, so she became an only daughter worthy of the name.

What's even more sad is that Cao Yuan's husband also died of illness shortly after his son's death, but even so, Cao Yuan will not be without food and clothing, because her husband is blessed by Liu Gong and has a house and land to make a living.

However, Cao Yuan never forgot the kindness of Duke Liu and Mrs. Tai, and after her husband's funeral, she voluntarily entered the house to serve and live, in fact, it is not a cheap status, and the identity of the mother and daughter is special in Liufu.

But even if they don't sign the deed of sale, Mrs. Tai and the Xiao family will also regard Cao Yuan's mother and daughter as confidants, speaking of which is a matter of servants.

Even Mrs. Wei had already promised that when she reached the age of seventeen, she would let her recruit a son-in-law, and the candidates were already optimistic about being the tenants of the Liu family.

Although his family was poor and he was raised by his uncle since he was a child, he was very satisfied with his affection, righteousness, diligence and honesty.

However, she already had an idea, even if her daughter recruited her, it was also for her husband's incense, she didn't want to leave Liufu, in this life and this life, she must do her best to repay Mrs. Tai's life.

Although Cao Yuan was born in the trilogy, she is slightly higher than the servant, in fact, it is really not as good as the servant girl who serves Mrs. Tai with professional training, Cao Yuan is illiterate, not to mention piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she has no way to judge whether Eleven Niang is talented, but according to her, Eleven Niang is better than Sanniang and other little ladies in words and deeds or behavior, and she is very Mrs. Tai's demeanor, but Eleven Niang is only five years old now!

Cao Yuan remembered a very deep thing, she was harsh by her brother and sister-in-law in her early years, and fell into joint pain, one day because of the rain, her knees ached, but she didn't want to tell the disease, she gritted her teeth and endured, I don't know how to be seen by Eleven Niang, asked her if she was unwell, she denied it, Eleven Niang didn't say much, but the next day she gave her a prescription, saying that it was seen in the library pavilion, medicinal materials are common, and it is important to insist on taking it to take effect, and the prescription is to focus on joint pain.

Cao Yuan only felt a warm current in her heart at that time, and since then she has been more convinced of Eleven Niang.

So at this time, although Mrs. Tai did not have any other advice, Cao Yuan still consciously told the situation of Xu Xiaotang to Eleven Niang, especially mentioning one: "The mother of Qinrenfang is bound to be not good, but it is not important, only Mrs. Zhou, in terms of the great ancestor of the little lady, even Mrs. Tai has to be respectful, only the little lady should not worry too much, Mrs. Zhou has always cherished talents, how the little lady should behave, don't be too humble." ”

Of course, Eleven Niang understands the current situation, since Mrs. Wei intends to make her a "target of the public", she must no longer pretend to be ignorant, even if she behaves bizarrely, there is also Mrs. Tai's explanation to cover it up, she doesn't have to worry about it at all, but at this time, she naturally understands Cao Yuan's kindness: "Thank you for mentioning it, Grandma is at ease, and Grandma will not let the eldest mother lose face." ”

Cao Yuan's kindness was accepted, and satisfaction arose, for her, her greatest wish was to be able to do her best for the main family, even if she was a small effort, she was really happy, and Eleven Niang's reaction certainly made her very comforted.

However, when Eleven Niang arrived at Xuxiao Hall, Mrs. Zhou had obviously finished listening to her "glorious deeds", and when she saluted, she actually felt that the old lady's gaze went straight to her backbone, and she was about to chisel out the heat of sparks.

As soon as the eleventh lady finished the ceremony, before she was allowed to sit down, she listened to Mrs. Zhou's sonorous and powerful tone, which was quite sad: "Orphans are born, orphans are born, and life is a hardship...... If you want to send a ruler book, it will be difficult for you to live with your underground parents, brother and sister-in-law for a long time. ”

This poem "Orphan Walk" comes from Han Yuefu, Xu is the old lady of Zhou who was inspired by Liu Ting and her sister and brother, and more importantly, this poem is not familiar with such as "Peacock Flying Southeast", "Mo Shangsang", etc., the length is not long, and there are not many people who know, especially at the age of Eleven Niang, it should not be pre-read.

However, this poem is out of Han Yuefu, it is inevitable that the language is simple, easy to repeat, and it is not difficult to memorize, it should be Mrs. Zhou considering that Eleven Niang is young after all.

However, the old lady not only asked Eleven Niang to repeat it.

"Now that the pen and ink have been prepared, Eleven Niang immediately wrote what I just recited silently."

It was only at this time that Eleven Niang found that the pen and ink had been prepared on one side, and even two maidservants had already stretched out the rice paper.

She hesitated slightly, but finally made up her mind to restore her original pen power—Mrs. Wei had not paid attention to her writing for a long time, and she would not be surprised by Mrs. Wei if she made progress.

As for the excuse to deal with the rest, it is not difficult.

Ink and book, it will be done in a moment.

Old Madam Zhou was already dumbfounded: "Binxiang, come and see, this seems to be ...... If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes today, I would have suspected that it was Empress Pei's real pen! As soon as the old man was excited, he called Mrs. Wei the word "Cousin".

Mrs. Wei also glanced at Eleven Niang with a deep meaning: "There is still something that is not caught, the shape is similar, and the charm is slightly lacking...... Eleven Niang, I felt a little uncomfortable some time ago, and I didn't have time to test your calligraphy, but in just half a month, I don't want you to have this progress. ”

Eleven Niang hurriedly replied: "It's the fourth sister who gave her son Peihou's hand to Linmo, and the practice is still short, and it is not enough to comprehend the spirit." ”

Old Madam Zhou was already full of surprise: "It's just half a month, there is such a skill, Eleven Niang...... Binto, what is the name of Eleven Niang? ”

"Yishui." Mrs. Wei smiled.

"Yishui, have you ever learned to paint?"

Eleven Niang lowered her eyes: "I haven't had time to learn." ”

"Binxiang, in my opinion, Yishui should learn painting early, I can't say that in the future, our Jingzhaoliu will be able to produce a talented woman with the same name as Empress Pei!"

Eleven Niang: ......

However, the people present, who were even more speechless than Eleven Niang, were Liu.

Although she is also from an official family, her family is not famous, but she struggled out of the cold, and in terms of literature and education, she is limited to literacy and reading such as "The Female Commandment", I really don't know what is so great about Eleven Niang's display of this hand, so that Mrs. Zhou is so amazing that she completely forgot about Xingshi's questioning, wouldn't she be disappointed today?

How can the Liu family be willing, she doesn't read the handwritten book of Eleven Niang, and she can't see any famous hall when she looks at it horizontally and vertically, so she directly says the topic: "Eleven Niang is certainly smart, but after all, our Liu family has no precedent for letting the concubine rank in order, let alone the registered genealogy, concubine, I also understand that you cherish your granddaughter, however, you can't regard the family rules as nothing?" There are so many concubines in the clan, if only Eleven Niang gets this preferential treatment, will it not make the rest of the concubines jealous, and in the long run, it is not conducive to family harmony. ”

Eleven Niang's attention had been focused on Mrs. Zhou just now, and it was only at this time that she paid attention to this uncle and grandmother.
