Chapter 29 Nightmare

Mrs. Han soon knew that Yuxi had given up learning music theory, so she let her go and called Yuxi immediately.

When Yuxi arrived in the upper room, she saluted politely.

Mrs. Han put the beads on the yellow rosewood table next to her, turned her head slowly, looked at Yuxi, and asked, "Why didn't you tell us why you didn't learn music theory?"

Facing Mrs. Han, Yuxi didn't have the guts to talk nonsense, let alone be sloppy: "After studying for a few days, I still don't understand anything. I told my husband about this today, and he said that I have no talent in music theory. Since I don't have a talent It’s a waste of time to learn more, so I don’t study.”

Mrs. Han looked at Yu Xi, her eyes seemed to be able to see through Yu Xi: "Is that true?"

Yuxi was not overwhelmed by the old lady's aura. People who have died once have nothing to be afraid of: "If grandma doesn't believe it, you can ask Mr. Song."

Mrs. Han snorted coldly: "You are quite courageous." She dared not to learn the guzheng without their consent, she is so brave, this time she must be severely punished.

Yuxi smiled bitterly and said: "Grandmother, it's not that my granddaughter is courageous, but that I really can't learn it. Every time I take a music theory class, it's a torment for me." Seeing the old lady's ugly face, Yuxi said quickly: "But the master said that I I have talent in painting, so let me learn to paint hard." Painting and embroidery have many similarities, and it is also for this reason that Yuxi is very good at painting. However, Yu Xi does not intend to spend too much energy on painting skills, the reason is very simple, no matter how good the painting skills are, it will be of no real use in times of distress.

Only then did Mrs. Han's complexion ease a lot: "I think you are a first-time offender, copy "The Female Ring" three times, and give it to me a year ago." The time limit given by Mrs. Han is quite long, mainly because Yu Xi studied The task was so heavy that she had to set a long time limit.

Yuxi has no objection.

When Yuxi left the room, Mrs. Han turned to Yuchen who was on the side and said, "Chen'er, you can't be like a girl." Although Yuxi studied hard, Mrs. Han still didn't hold Yuxi too much expect. In particular, Yuxi often makes good claims on this point, which makes the old lady dislike it.

Naturally, Yuchen won't learn from Yuxi, because under Mr. Song's guidance these days, her piano art has made great progress. If she meets a good teacher like Mr. Song, she will only study harder, and she will not give up the opportunity to study.

Compared to Mrs. Han's dissatisfaction, Qiu's was much calmer. Hearing Yu Xi's explanation, Qiu Shi nodded and said: "If you can't learn it, don't learn it. If you force it to learn, you will suffer." In fact, according to Qiu Shi's opinion, what's the use of mastering piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? It serves no purpose other than to gain a good reputation. Ladies, as long as you have learned needlework and housekeeping, that's enough.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Auntie's calculation is very good. If Auntie doesn't dislike it, I want to learn from Auntie!"

Qiu Shi is not good at intrigue, but he is good at handling common affairs. Not to mention that her dowry has doubled over the years, but under her management, the Duke's Mansion can achieve a balance of income and expenditure every year. You must know that in the past, the Duke's Mansion was in deficit every year, and suffered a lot of losses.

In her previous life, Yuxi had learned housekeeping from the Qiu family, but at first she thought she was marrying the second son of the Qiu family, so she only learned some simple things. When she got engaged to Jiang Hongjin, she fell into worry and fear again, so she didn't have the time to learn these things. But now, we must learn how to feed back. Medium feed is more practical than piano art and painting art.

Qiu said happily: "If you want to learn from your aunt, you will naturally teach me, but you are still young, so you will not be too late to learn in a few years."

Liu Yin came in and said: "Madam, Aunt Lian is not feeling well, she wants to call a doctor."

Qiu's expression was very cheerful and said: "Go ask Dr. Li to see her."

Yuxi felt that Qiu's attitude was very strange. Whether Aunt Lian was sick or not had nothing to do with her, so why was she so happy. There must be something wrong here, and Yuxi asked Hongshan to inquire about the news when she returned to the Rose Garden.

Soon, Hongshan told Yuxi what she had heard: "Girl, Aunt Lian is pregnant. The doctor said it has been three months."

Three months, it's enough to hide it.

Seeing that Yuxi was silent, Hongshan continued: "Girl, Aunt Rong is not yet three months old!" This means that Aunt Lian was pregnant earlier than Aunt Rong.

Thinking of Qiu's expression, Yuxi suddenly came to her senses. Perhaps the eldest aunt knew that Aunt Lian was pregnant, but she helped Aunt Lian conceal it. Yuxi smiled unkindly, and didn't know how Aunt Rong would feel when she heard the news.

Aunt Rong knew that Aunt Lian was pregnant, she was so angry that she smashed most of the furniture in the room, and scolded Mrs Feng who was serving her: "Why is there no news about such a big matter?" If Aunt Lian's baby is also a boy, It will definitely affect the status of her child.

A few confidantes around Aunt Rong have been betrayed by the old lady, this Mrs. Feng is a backward person. Aunt Rong has money and means, so she quickly recruited this woman over. It's just that this Mrs. Feng's foundation is very shallow, she has no influence in the mansion, and she is not very clever, so she can't always do things according to Aunt Rong's wishes.

Mrs. Feng said: "The news was only leaked today, and there was no news at all before.

Aunt Rong's teeth itch with hatred, this matter is most likely caused by the Qiu family.

Mrs. Feng comforted: "Auntie, don't get angry. The most important thing now is to raise the baby. Once a son is born, Auntie will have someone to rely on for the rest of her life."

After hearing this, Aunt Rong gradually dissipated the hostility in her eyes. She gently touched her stomach and said, "You are right, nothing is more important than the child in my stomach."

Mrs. Feng saw that Aunt Rong had listened to her advice, and said: "Auntie, what this old slave said was not pleasant, Madam is just waiting to catch Auntie's fault so that Auntie can be killed. We have to be more careful at this time " Mrs. Feng meant to tell Aunt Rong not to kill Aunt Lian during this time, or she would be the one to suffer.

Aunt Rong was silent for a long time, then nodded and said: "My top priority now is to raise the baby." First, I have to confirm whether Aunt Lian's child is a boy or a girl. If Auntie Lian is pregnant with a girl, she doesn't need to do anything.

When the old lady knew that Aunt Lian was pregnant, she was very happy, so she sent a lot of precious medicinal materials, and also rewarded several precious jewelry.

When Li's mother got the news, she became wary of Aunt Lian, because Aunt Lian was not only loved by the Duke, but also valued by the old lady. If she became powerful, she would pose a greater threat to the lady in the future.

The Qiu family was also a little scared by Aunt Rong. After listening to Mama Li's words, she pondered for a moment and said: "Now that Aunt Lian and Aunt Rong are pregnant and cannot serve the Duke, I will arrange two more people to serve the Duke." Beauties come to share the favor.

But Mother Li said: "Ma'am, this person has to be chosen carefully." The Aunt Lian that the old lady chose was not only beautiful, but also scheming. Now they can no longer pick some people who have only faces but no brains as in the past.

Qiu Shi nodded.

The trick of fighting for favor in the inner court has nothing to do with Yuxi, she just needs to know the general trend in the Duke's mansion. Under the light, Yuxi picked up the handkerchief she hadn't finished embroidering and began to embroider. Since learning from Mr. Song, she hasn't done embroidery for a long time.

Shen's mother said: "The girl is still young, and she will have plenty of time to embroider." In fact, Shen's mother doesn't understand Yuxi. She can show off after learning the guzheng. mother!

Yuxi smiled and said: "Embroidery also takes time to hone. From now on, I will embroider for two quarters of an hour at noon every day." Now that there is less homework, there is more time to arrange independently.

Mother Shen saw that persuasion was useless, so she changed the subject: "Girl, the third girl has a study room, a piano room, and a painting room. Should we also clean up the room next to it?" Shen's mother hoped that Yuxi would not be too different from Yuchen. Far.

Yuxi shook her head and said, "Not for now."

Shen's mother was puzzled: "Girl, why don't you use it for the time being?"

Yuxi looked in the direction of the upper room, and said, "Because I won't be able to use it for the time being. Also, remember, don't compare me with the third sister in the future, I don't like it." It's not on a parallel line at all, there are more It will only make her feel uncomfortable.

Mother Shen dared not speak any more.

Yuxi finished writing a hundred characters, reviewed what she had learned during the day, and finally took out the chess record and said, "Bring my chess here."

Among the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the only thing Yuxi is willing to work hard to learn is chess. This is because when Mr. Song taught chess for the first time, he said that playing Go can exercise people's computing power, thinking power, memory power, concentration and endurance. Yuxi knew her own weight. Although she lived an extra life, she was not particularly outstanding in all aspects. If she wanted to get better, she could only study hard.

Mo Ju came over and said, "Girl, it's time to go to bed. You'll have to get up early tomorrow!"

Yuxi was a little reluctant to let go, she just got sick, but she had to abide by the schedule she set herself, if it disturbed the next day's schedule, it would be messed up.

Lying on the bed, Yuxi couldn't help thinking about the unfinished chess game just now. In the end, I was very tired and fell asleep in a daze.

"Huh..." Yuxi sat up from the bed, looked at the familiar place and let out a long breath. What the hell, she dreamed that she was playing chess with Jiang Hongjin, and when facing Jiang Hongjin's approaching step by step, she didn't have the slightest chance to fight back, and she lost miserably.

Yuxi didn't know what this dream meant, but she knew that the gap between her and Jiang Hongjin was too great. Jiang Hongjin's skills, intelligence, and scheming are equally good. And her only advantage is that she has the first opportunity. If she wants to stop falling into the situation in her previous life, she must start planning now.

Yuxi said to herself: "What's the first opportunity?"

After thinking about it for a long time, it really reminded her of a person. This person is Jiang Hongjin's half-brother, Jiang Hongfu, the eldest son of Jiang's original spouse. It's just that when Jiang Hongfu was nine years old, he met an accident in the street market and died young.

Yuxi knew very little about Jiang Hongfu. After all, she married the Yu family who was the head of the family. As a stepwife, she definitely didn't want her servants to discuss the original spouse and the original spouse's son. It was only once that Yuxi heard a drunken old servant of Jiang's mansion talk about Jiang Hongfu, saying that Jiang Hongfu was also an extremely intelligent child.

An enemy's enemy is a friend. If Jiang Hongfu hadn't died early, Jiang Hongjin's journey would have been smooth.

Yu Xi pinched her fingers and calculated that Jiang Hongfu was eight years old this year, which meant that he would have an accident next year. It was also a coincidence that the day Jiang Hongfu died happened to be three days before her birthday, so she remembered it very clearly. As long as she saves Jiang Hongfu on that day, everything will be different from her previous life.

Thinking about this, Yuxi seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden, and soon fell asleep again.
