Chapter 8: Teaching

The late autumn morning was already a little chilly, but the quilt was very warm, and Tang Shuyi slept sweetly wrapped in the quilt. But there was a soft call from Cuiyun in his ears, "Madame, it's time for Madame to get up, the two aunts have come to say goodbye." ”

Tang Shuyi's brain that just woke up was even more confused, auntie? What aunt?

Grabbing her hair, she carefully rummaged through the information in her brain, and then knew that Xiao Huai, the deceased Marquis of Yongning, had two concubines, both of whom were accepted in the frontier. However, the two aunts did not give birth, and when Xiao Huai died in battle, they were sent back.

"What time is it?" Tang Shuyi asked.

Outside, Cuiyun replied softly: "It's time." ”

Tang Shuyi converted the time and knew that it was six o'clock, so he got up and got out of bed. Then Hulala came in with a few little maids, all of whom were waiting for her to get up early. Tang Shuyi was stunned for a moment, and once again realized that she was now a wealthy lady.

When she entered the clean room, a little maid handed her a toothbrush dipped in tooth powder. I used to think that ancient people didn't brush their teeth and just rinsed their mouths with salt water, but now I know that my previous knowledge was narrow.

In ancient times, there were also toothbrushes, just like the toothbrush she holds in her hand now, which is made of fine sandalwood with a handle, and is made of animal hair tied with holes on it. Tooth powder is also made from precious Chinese medicinal materials.

Well, it tastes pretty good.

After washing up and returning to the bedroom, there were two beautiful women curtsy at her, these are the two aunts.

"Get up." Tang Shuyi said and sat down in front of the dresser, and the two aunts immediately walked up to her and wanted to serve her to comb her hair and makeup. She hurriedly waved her hand, "Let the maid come." ”

The two aunts stood beside them obediently, Tang Shuyi smiled and chatted with them about a few family things, such as what to do every day, and then said: "I have nothing to do here, you can go back, you don't have to come every day to say hello in the future." ”

The two aunts were a little apprehensive when they heard her words, one said that it was right to greet you, and the other said that the rules could not be abolished. Hearing their words, Tang Shuyi looked sideways at them and said seriously: "I really don't need you to come to say goodbye, I'm not polite to you." ”

These words made both of them at a loss, and Tang Shuyi said again, in a gentle tone, "Don't think about it, I just don't want to trouble." ”

Seeing that she didn't seem to be cheating, the two aunts saluted again and turned to leave. Tang Shuyi continued to ask the maid to comb her hair and makeup. She is not the two aunts, after all, she has never seen the dead ghost husband, so naturally she has no feelings, and she has no opinion on his concubine.

It's just that Xiao Yuchen's affairs are on hold in her heart, and she has no time to deal with others now.

After putting on makeup and combing her hair, Cuizhu asked what she was wearing today. Tang Shuyi looked at the clothes in a cabinet, they were all too luxurious but lacking style. She casually pointed to a set of bamboo-green and beautiful gold clothes and said, "That's it, go back and call the tailor to come over and make a few more sets." ”

Cuizhu should help her get dressed, and Tang Shuyi asked, "Have you inquired about Xue Ji's situation?" ”

Cuizhu helped her tie her belt and said, "The old lady in the third room of Wuyang Bofu is a concubine, and she was separated when the family was separated. The old lady in the third room gave birth to four sons, two concubines and two concubines, and Xue Ji is the son of the fourth elder of the concubine, and he is also a concubine. ”

Tang Shuyi: "......."

Well, he's a concubine.

"But Xue Ji and Wuyang Bofu haven't come out of the five suits yet, and they can still be regarded as people from Wuyang Bofu." Cuizhu said again: "I heard that Xue Ji's aunt is very favored, and he himself is a person who can drill camps.

The wife he married was the concubine of the elder brother of Lord Zhang, the squire of the Criminal Department. He now has a son and a daughter, both of whom are from the wife of the main house. The son is ten years old and the daughter is eight years old, both of whom are studying in the clan studies of Wuyang Bofu. ”

"Does this Xue Ji have any bad habits?" Tang Shuyi asked.

Cuiyun thought for a while and said, "Except for the love drill camp, I haven't heard anything else. ”

Tang Shuyi snorted, "Did you send someone to invite you?" ”

"I went early in the morning." Cuiyun replied.

"Go and let the eldest prince out of the ancestral hall, he can't come and he's still kneeling in the ancestral hall." Although Tang Shuyi said this, he felt that the time to let Xiao Yuchen kneel was too short, or Xue Ji would let him kneel if he left?

Cuiyun answered, turned around and went out to let the little maid go to the ancestral hall to deliver the message. Everything was packed up, and as soon as breakfast was served, three bear children came over. Xiao Yuming and Xiao Yuzhu were talking together, Xiao Yuchen limped and looked depressed.

Seeing her, the three of them greeted each other:

Xiao Yuzhu: "Mother~"

Xiao Yuming: "Mother." ”

Xiao Yuchen: "Mother." ”

Tang Shuyi raised her eyebrows, and the personalities of the three children could be seen from the title.

"Sit down and eat." Tang Shuyi took the lead in sitting down, and the three children also sat at the table. She didn't want to follow the rule of not eating and sleeping, so she chatted with the three bear children while eating.

Although the three of them had a lot of problems, Tang Shuyi did not verbally reprimand them, nor did he explain the truth to them, but just said something common to get closer to each other. The most critical thing now is Xiao Yuchen's matter, two small problems, and I will talk about it when the current matter is over.

After breakfast, Xiao Yuzhu and Xiao Yuming both went to the school, and Tang Shuyi and Xiao Yuchen moved to the front yard to prepare to meet Xue Ji. On the way, Tang Shuyi told Xiao Yuchen about Xue Ji's situation.

Xiao Yuchen had doubts on his face after hearing this, he didn't understand why Tang Shuyi asked Xue Ji so clearly, he was originally a relative, wasn't he?

Tang Shuyi saw the expression on his face and asked, "Before saving Liu Biqin, do you know who Xue Ji is?" ”

Xiao Yuchen shook his head, "There are so many people in the side branch of my uncle's family, how can I know them." ”

"An unknown relative, why did he take the initiative to approach you and help you do things?" Tang Shuyi asked.

Xiao Yuchen thought for a while, "Because of my identity, it is good for him to have a relationship with me." ”

Tang Shuyi gave him an approving look and said, "You are the prince of Yongning, the grandson of the Tang State Mansion, even if you don't make it convenient for him, as long as the two of you get close, others will look up to him, and it will be more convenient for him to do things." ”

Seeing Xiao Yuchen nodding clearly, Tang Shuyi said again: "You used him to save Liu Biqin, he used you to raise your identity, there is a pure relationship of interest between you, don't talk about relatives or not relatives." ”

Tang Shuyi explained to him, "Between people, some talk about love, and some talk about profit." With the person who intercedes, it is better not to talk too much about the benefits.

For example, you and me, you and your younger brothers and sisters, we and your grandfather's family, we are talking about love, the affection of the closest relatives. You and Xue Ji are talking about profit, if he is not profitable on you, will he help you? ”

This time Xiao Yuchen understood, he said: "You asked Xue Ji so clearly, do you want to know yourself and your opponent?" ”

Tang Shuyi nodded, "We have to know if he has fatal flaws, such as gambling, lust, greed for money, etc., these shortcomings are easy to be caught and threatened." But fortunately, Xue Ji doesn't have any particularly fatal shortcomings except for liking drilling. ”

Xiao Yuchen listened to these words, stopped and looked at Tang Shuyi, with doubts and a little admiration. Tang Shuyi also stopped and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

Xiao Yuchen pursed her lower lip, "You haven't told me this before...."I didn't know you knew so much.

Tang Shuyi glanced at him, with a look of disgust, "I didn't know you were so before.... Not sophisticated. ”

Tang Shuyi wanted to say, I didn't know you were so stupid before. But don't hit the kids too hard.

Xiao Yuchen was speechless for a while. He now has more teachers and less mothers.

The mother and son talked and went to the front yard, Tang Shuyi said that they would go to the study first, and then go to the small hall to see him when Xue Ji arrived. After hearing this, Xiao Yuchen said: "Isn't it okay to go directly to the small hall and wait?" ”

Tang Shuyi: Didn't anyone teach this prince before "......"?

Resisted the urge to roll her eyes, accepted this body, and became Mrs. Yongning Hou, as long as the three children are not a big traitor, she has to teach them well, first, this is a responsibility, and second, if the three children are good, she will be good.

She said: "I want him to know that the initiative of the matter is in our hands." ”

Xiao Yuchen didn't understand, and Tang Shuyi didn't explain to him. After experiencing this kind of thing a lot, it will naturally be understood.

After a while, Chang Ming came to report that Xue Ji was coming. Tang Shuyi didn't let people wait, and took Xiao Yuchen to the small hall.

PS: There is a reason why the three children of the Hou Mansion have problems, the Hou Ye is in the frontier all the year round, and Mrs. Hou (the predecessor) spoils the children, and there is basically no teaching. Mrs. Hou is also spoiled by Zhang Da and does not have much scheming. You said that your grandfather can't teach, after all, it's your grandfather, and it's impossible to stay together every day, and it's easier to spoil your children if you are next generation.

In other words, among the ancient men, the Hou Ye was considered good, at least there were no concubines in the Hou Mansion in Shangjing.

The three brothers and sisters basically grew up in an environment without house fights.
