Chapter 13 Mr.

After the two had finished talking, it was time for lunch. Oak Xi's daily meal consists of three dishes and one soup. Today is no exception. They are steamed sea bass, emerald shrimp, crispy fried tofu and sauerkraut pork ribs and bitter bamboo shoots. There are also two other side dishes.

Oak-hee had a good appetite now, and after eating a bowl of rice, half of the dishes on the table were swept away. After the meal, I drank a cup of soy milk with honey added to the soy milk. It's a pity that there are no conditions. If there are conditions, she must be the same as Yuchen, drinking goat milk every day.

After resting for a while, Oak-hee went to take a nap. When there was no one in the room, Oak Hee opened her eyes and looked at the pattern on the top of the bed, thinking about what happened just now. She didn't know if Mother Shen's words were inspired by the old lady, but it was absolutely impossible for her to respect her like a aunt. Not to mention that the old lady treated her coldly and indifferently in her previous life, but said that when she died of smallpox, the old lady would treat her and her doctor would leave her to fend for herself, which cut off the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren.

Oak-hee didn't know why the old lady was suddenly kind to her, but she knew very well that the old lady had a purpose. It's just that people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. She can't leave the palace now, so she can only bow her head according to what Shen's mother said.

From then on, Oak Xi went to greet the old lady first every day, and then went to greet the Qiu family. However, her attitude was very clear. When she was in the room, she was more than respectful and not friendly, and when she was in the main courtyard, she would try her best to amuse the Qiu family.

Mother Shen was worried that it was too late, thinking about taking it slow, and worrying about it would be counterproductive.

When Yuxi went to greet the Qiu family that day, she saw Aunt Lian again. Aunt Lian wore a peach-colored brocade Hang-silk summer shirt with two fronts, a lavender phoenix skirt around her waist, and a fish-shaped fringe in cloisonné enamel on her head, exuding a moving charm.

When Qiu saw that Yuxi was coming, she smiled and said to Aunt Lian, "I know your heart, go on!" Although her husband has been doting on his concubine for years, Qiu felt that she was blessed with such a sensible mother-in-law. . It is also because of this gratitude that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have gotten along very well over the years. But later, because of Oak-hee's affairs, she was afraid of the old lady.

This time, the old lady rewarded Aunt Lian, which made Qiu worried for a long time at first, not because she was afraid that Aunt Lian would compete for favor or something. Now her focus is on the internal affairs of her son and the mansion, her husband's multiple women, etc. Don't care at all. She was only worried about whether her mother-in-law was dissatisfied with her, but seeing that although Aunt Lian was favored by the grandfather, she was well behaved and not as arrogant as Aunt Rong was, so her concerns were dispelled.

Qiu Shi didn't care, but Aunt Rong was terrified. In the past, when she suffered a little grievance, the grandfather would stand up for her, but now she has been under house arrest in the Yiran Courtyard for so long. Instead of fighting for her to be released from the house arrest, the grandfather only went to the Yiran Courtyard twice. Auntie Rong is no better than the Qiu family. The Qiu family is the main wife and has a son. She can live well without the grandfather. Once she lost the favor of the grandfather, she had to fall into the quagmire.

When Aunt Rong heard that Grandpa Guo went to Concubine Lian's yard, her face was contorted: "What did you say? Master went to that bitch's house again?"

Xiaojuan said timidly, "Yes." For more than a month, Grandpa Guo spent most of the time in the yard of Concubine Lian. She was afraid that when her master was out of the hospital, the weather had already changed outside.

Auntie Rong wished she could bite Auntie Lian to death, but she was currently under house arrest in the Yiran Courtyard and could not see the grandfather of the country.

The weather was hot, and Oak-hee was very stuffy, muttering, "It would be nice if it rained."

As soon as the words fell, a white light flashed outside, like a sword wielded by a swordsman. After a while, there was a thunderous roar of thunder. Immediately afterwards, raindrops the size of soybeans fell.

Mo Ju smiled and said, "The girl's words are really effective."

Oak Xi smiled, "It's just a coincidence."

Xia Yu came and went quickly. The rain stopped within a quarter of an hour.

The sky after the rain is particularly blue and the air is particularly fresh.

Oak-hee came out of the house. It was raining and it was much cooler.

Mother Shen came back from outside at this time and brought good news to Oak Xi: "Girl, the old lady has already invited gentlemen to several girls."

Oak Xi remembered one thing, if she remembered correctly, it should be Mr. Song this time. Mr. Song's name is Song Mingyue. She was born in a scholarly family. She is free and intelligent. After Jiji married Lu Song, the second master of Zhongyong Hou's mansion, there was an accident in the Hou Song family, and it was rumored that the Lu family wanted to let her die. In the end, I don't know what means she used to reconcile with Luzon.

After he left, Song Mingyue took out her dowry to help the Song family spend the most difficult time. Later, she combed her hair and started to enlighten the famous ladies in Beijing. Because she was famous when she was a girl, many rich people invited her.

Oak-hee asked, "Which gentleman did you ask for?"

Mama Shen said with a smile, "Girl, this time it's Mr. Song. Mr. Song is proficient in everything, chess, calligraphy, poetry, poetry, and poetry. As long as the girl learns a little bit, she can use it for a lifetime."

Oak-hee said hesitantly, "Mom, I heard that Mr. Song's teaching is quite harsh, and I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it!" It is said that few people can support her under her. Of course, you can learn a lot of practical things in the end.

Shen's mother paused and said, "Girl, you can be a superior person if you endure hardships. As long as the girl can survive, it will be much easier to get married in the future."

There are many people who want to invite Mr. Song, but no matter how powerful she is, if she can't meet her requirements, she will give up. Among them, there are two things that are known from the outside world. The first is that no matter how she teaches her children, the owner must not interfere; the second is that she will not continue teaching if she has not had a satisfactory student for three months. I don't know how many people have been stumped by these two. However, the girls who met Mr. Song's requirements later became famous and married very well. This is why Mr. Song's teaching is very strict, but he is still popular with the powerful.

Oak-hee looked confused: "You let me think about it again."

After Mommy Shin went out, Oak-hee took off her disguise and showed a determined look. No need for Shen's mother to say, she must also learn from Mr. Song. As Shen's mother said, studying with Mr. Song will last a lifetime.

Oak-hee deliberately stayed in the house for a long time, making Mother Shin think she was struggling. She didn't come out until dinner time in the evening, and then went straight to the upper room to find the old lady.

Yuxi didn't beat around the bush, and explained her purpose directly: "Grandmother, I heard that our mansion is going to invite Mr. Song, grandmother, I also want to study together."

Mrs. Han frowned, and she really didn't count Yuxi in the invitation to Mr. Song this time. It's not that she has any prejudice against Yuxi, but Yuxi is too young: "Mr. Song is very strict in teaching, and you can't stand it when you are young. You are still young, and it will not be too late for enlightenment in two years."

Oak-hee said, "Grandma, I will definitely study hard not to hold back the three older sisters."

Mrs. Han still did not agree.

Oak-hee knelt on the ground and said, "Grandmother, let me and my sister study with Mr. Song! Grandmother, Oak-hee is begging you."

Mrs. Han's confidant, Mrs. Luo, said with a smile, "It's rare for the four girls to be so self-motivated, so the old lady will fulfill the four girls!" They all knelt down and begged each other.

Mrs. Han frowned, and finally said: "Mr. Song is very strict. Even if I agree, it will be in vain if Mr. Song does not agree."

Oak-hee said immediately, "Grandmother, I will definitely ask Mr. Song to agree."

After Mrs. Han waited for Yuxi to leave, she said, "This girl really seems to be a different person now." The old lady didn't like Yuxi before. First, it was because she didn't like Ning, and then she didn't like Yuxi. On the other hand, Mr. Yuxi had a gloomy expression on his face, as if he had been abused, and she was disgusted by it. However, after she recovered from her illness, the sullen look on the girl's face disappeared. Mrs. Han felt that she might have experienced life and death, so she relaxed.

Mama Luo smiled and flattered the old lady: "This is also taught by the old lady. Since Mama Shen went to the Rose Garden, the girl has become more and more organized." Come here every day to say goodbye, and will accompany the old lady to say a few words. Although it can't be compared with the three girls, it is already much better.

Mrs. Han narrowed her eyes and said nothing.

Knowing that Yuxi begged Mrs. Han to study with Yuru and the others, Mrs. Qiu said, "Mr. Song's teaching is very strict. If you don't meet her requirements, you'll have to be stubborn, aren't you afraid?"

Oak-hee said he was not afraid.

Qiu sternly said: "You have to think about it. Once you study with Mr. Song, no matter how hard you are, you can't give up halfway, otherwise it will damage your reputation. If a girl's reputation is not good, it will be difficult to get married in the future." Of course, Qiu's is to scare Oak Xi even if Oak Xi can't hold on, but no matter how old she is, no one will say anything if she can't hold on. The main reason is that Mr. Song's teaching method is too perverted, and there is a lot of people who can't bear it, and there is no shortage of Yuxi.

Oak Xi said firmly, "Don't worry, Auntie, I won't give up halfway."

Qiu rubbed Yuxi's head with some relief in her eyes. During this period of time, whether it was windy or rainy, Yuxi came to greet her, and accompanied her to talk, very considerate: "Since you have this heart, Auntie will let Mr. Song agree to accept you." After speaking, Qiu Shi instructed Liu Yin to go to the warehouse to get a complete set of study utensils.

Everyone's reaction to Mr.'s arrival was different. Yuxi and Yuru both hoped to learn from this famous man in the capital, while Yuchen sat firmly on Diaoyutai. Because she knew very well that the old lady had spent so much effort to invite Mr. Song for her. As for whether Mr. Song will take a fancy to it, that is not within her scope of consideration.

Of the four girls, only Yujing retreated when she heard that Mr. Song would beat people: "Auntie, that Mr. Song will beat people, I don't want to go." Auntie Rong didn't know a single big character before serving the prince. , but since she followed the grandfather of the country, she not only knew how to read, but also wrote two crooked poems. Yujing started to read easily at the age of four, and now she can recognize a lot of characters.

Auntie Rong is always obedient to Yujing, but Yujing can't help this matter: "You must go, and you must study hard to let Mr. Song accept you as a student, so that you can marry into a high school, and you don't have to do everything like your mother. A dwarf."

Yujing finally succumbed to the word "marrying into a high gate".
