Chapter 12 Storm (5)

Yuchen looked at Yuxi, and then at Yurong. They are all younger sisters, so it's not good to favor one over another.

Seeing Yuchen, Yurong took Yuchen's hand and said, "Third sister, please help me beg my grandmother, please, so that she will not sell my wet nurse. Third sister, please help me beg my grandmother!" "

Yuchen would definitely not intercede for her, but she made a suggestion: "Fifth sister, this is my grandmother's order, and I can't help it. But if the fifth sister goes to intercede by herself, as long as she is sincere, grandma will definitely go online. Be on the one side." No matter what, Yurong's wet nurse raised her, and if Yurong could go all out to plead for mercy, her grandmother would definitely show her some dignity.

Yurong dare not go.

When walking out of Shuixiang Courtyard, Yuchen felt a little emotional. Yu Xi, who was really wronged, quietly read medical books in the study, but Yu Rong only knew to beg her to save her nanny but dared not face it by herself. Both are younger sisters, why is there such a big gap.

Thinking of Yurong's temperament, Yuchen worriedly said to Nanny Gui: "Just like the fifth younger sister, she won't know when she goes out to socialize and offend people in the future." . Can't endure hardship, full of lies, and no responsibility. If such a character doesn't grow crooked in the future, I'll be thankful, and it's impossible to expect anything.

Nanny Gui smiled and said, "Miss is too worried. Didn't the old lady say that she would ask the mother-in-law to teach the five girls how to behave? Miss, don't worry about the old lady?" Nanny Gui also looked down on Wu, Not only are the methods inferior, but even his own children have been taught crookedly. This also gave birth to two sons, otherwise there would be no place for her in the Duke's Mansion.

Thinking of those half-brothers, Yuchen smiled wryly: "Forget it, it's useless to worry any more." Not only the two sons born to Wu's family can't study, but the two concubines can't study well. The writing is not good, and the martial arts are not good.

In the evening, when Han Jingyan came back, he went to the upper room first. This was a custom. Han Jingyan always went to see the old lady first when he came back, and talked with the old lady. On this day, the old lady left Han Jingyan behind and talked to him for a long time. When Han Jingyan came out, his face was solemn.

When Mrs. Wu heard that Han Jingyan had returned, she felt uneasy. Seeing Han Jingyan's ugly face, he knew something was wrong.

Han Jingyan asked with a cold face: "You swollen Yuxi's face today? Don't you know that a girl's appearance is the most important thing?" No matter how much she doesn't like this daughter, she was raised by the mansion with great painstaking efforts, and she will be of great use in the future. How can Wu's be ruined.

Resisting the fear in her heart, Wu resisted, and argued forcefully: "Master, the fourth girl beat Yurong's face so badly, and she still contradicted me after I said a few words to her. I lost my sense of proportion because of her anger "Wu always knew that it was difficult to be a stepmother, but because she had been in Hebei and had no direct contact with Yuchen and Yurong, she didn't feel much. Now she really felt that the stepmother was embarrassed. If she had hit her own children by mistake, there would definitely not be such a big disturbance.

Speaking of this, the blue veins on Han Jingyan's forehead stood up: "How did you raise Yurong? How is she different from the shrews on the street?"

It was the first time for Wu Shi to see Han Jingyan getting so angry, and she was very scared: "I didn't know what Yurong said at the time. If I knew, I would definitely arrest her."

Han Jingyan stared at Mrs. Wu, and asked a question that made her tremble: "Then tell me, why did Yu Rong say that to Yu Xi?" I can't help feeling a little regretful. When Yurong was five years old, her mother said that she would take Yurong back to the capital to raise her, but the Wu family refused. If he had sent Yurong back to the capital to teach his mother, Yurong would definitely be as good as Yuchen and Yuxi, not as good as the girls from Xiaomen and Xiaohu's families now.

Wu Shi was too shocked to speak. She also didn't know that Yu Rong would listen to her just talking about the old affairs of the Duke's Mansion with Chen's mother that day, and she would also remember it in her heart.

Han Jingyan was extremely disappointed with Wu Shi. He knew that Wu Shi had a lot of problems before, but on the whole it was fine.

Only today did he realize that he was wrong. His mother was not smart, and even his children would be implicated.

Thinking of the eldest son, Yuchen was as intelligent as Yuchen, but unfortunately he died young. And none of the four sons under his knees was outstanding, Han Jingyan couldn't tell how he felt. However, it is too late to regret it now: "During this time, you have learned the rules from your mother, and Yu Rong asked her to reflect on herself in the yard. Don't go out until you have learned the rules." When he was in Hebei, everyone looked at him Even if there is something wrong with the Wu family, he will not care about his face. But the capital is different, the Duke's Mansion has a big name but no real power, and with the recent turmoil in the court, he doesn't want to get involved in right and wrong, so he is determined not to let Wu and Yurong out during this time.

Seeing Han Jingyan lift his legs and walk out, Wu shi burst into tears. The stepdaughter is tricky and difficult to deal with, the mother-in-law is strict and rigid, and now even her husband dislikes her, how did she fall into such a situation.

Yu Xi was about to have dinner when she heard the maid outside say: "Girl, Master invites you to the study."

Yuxi stood up, put away the history book in her hand, put it in the cabinet and locked it. She has already finished reading Shi Ji, and now she is starting to read "Han Shu".

Standing outside the study, Yu Xi was in a daze. She came to this place once in her previous life, and that time she came to beg Han Jingyan to reject the Jiang family's marriage. In the end, Han Jingyan scolded her bloody, and then threw a white silk to her. She had paid off Han Jingyan's love for her upbringing in her previous life, so she never regarded Han Jingyan as her father after heavy work. It's just that she still can't leave the Han family, and she has to bow her head in many things.

At this time, Yuxi had to be grateful to Sister Quan. Under the careful teaching of Sister Quan for more than five years, she has made a qualitative leap in both controlling her emotions and dealing with the world. So far she is most grateful to Sister Quan. This is the first elder who taught her wholeheartedly, and she learned a lot of very useful things.

Seeing that Yu Xi was not moving, the boy reminded: "Miss Si, the master is waiting for you in the study."

Yuxi nodded and entered the study. Although she had been near the study in her previous life, but that time she was only thinking of begging Han Jingyan to reject this marriage, so how could she be in the mood to appreciate the study. Now that she entered the study, seeing Han Jingyan bowing her head and writing, she had some leisure time and began to carefully consider the layout of the study.

After reading the study room, Yuxi was reminded of Yuchen's Tingyun Pavilion. The furnishings here are all high-quality goods, and all of them are precious. Even the most inconspicuous porcelain bottle in the corner is an antique.

Han Jingyan made the last stroke and put the pen on a Ruyaoshan stone pen holder. After everything was put back, she looked up at Yuxi.

Yuxi respectfully saluted Han Jingyan and called out, "Father."

Han Jingyan said: "I already know what happened today." After saying this, he deliberately paused to see Yuxi's reaction.

In recent years, despite the support of the Duke's Mansion and the Marquis of Pingqing's Mansion, Han Jingyan's own ability should not be underestimated for being able to climb from a small official of the seventh rank to the current rank of the fourth rank.

Yuxi is not slow, how could she not know that Han Jingyan was watching her, but if she avoided it at the beginning, it would make her appear vain.

Han Jingyan looked at Yu Xi with red eye circles, looking pitiful, and said slowly, "Father knows that you have been wronged about what happened today."

Yu Xi opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything, but tears fell down her cheeks to the ground drop by drop. Being able to cry at any time, and crying so pitifully, is also a skill, and Yuxi took a lot of effort to practice it to this point.

Han Jingyan looked at Yuxi like this, but felt a little unnatural. With a stiff face, he said: "Yuxi, don't worry, this matter will never happen again." It was difficult for Han Jingyan to talk softly to Yuxi, so he chose the easiest way to say it.

Yuxi took out the handkerchief embroidered with roses, wiped away her tears gently, then looked up at Han Jingyan, and said with a moved face, "Thank you dad."

Han Jingyan was very satisfied with Yuxi's performance, and said, "I heard that you like playing chess?" As far as he knew, Yuxi's biggest hobby was usually playing chess, but his talent was limited and his chess skills were average.

Yu Xi nodded slightly, and said: "Well, I like to play chess, but I always play badly." Yu Xi didn't know what level of chess she had reached. The girls in the boudoir play chess as a pastime, and there are not many real masters.

Han Jingyan nodded and said: "Playing chess is just for entertainment, it doesn't need much effort and energy."

Yu Xi nodded: "Yes."

In order to express his concern, Han Jingyan asked Yuxi a lot of questions.

These questions were asked bluntly, and Yuxi answered them all with the most concise words. Up to now, she desperately hopes to leave the study room as soon as possible. She didn't dare to stay longer, it's okay to pretend for a while, but after a long time of contact, Yuxi was worried that something might go wrong.

Han Jingyan didn't know what to say after asking a few questions, and Yuxi didn't act very enthusiastic, so he felt quite bored and said, "Go back!"

Yuxi was a little disappointed, she thought that Han Jingyan would give her some good things to make up for her! I didn't expect it to be so few words, nothing practical, a waste of mood.

Not long after returning to the Rose Garden, someone delivered something, a complete set of rosewood chess sets.

Yuxi uncovered the extremely exquisitely carved hollow chess jars, looked at the chess pieces in the two chess jars, Yuxi's eyes lit up, and she touched them in her hands, and found that these chess pieces were all made of agate seeds.

Zi Su was also a little surprised: "Girl, this chess piece is so beautiful." It is several grades higher than the set of utensils Yu Xi used herself.

Yu Xi adhered to the principle that good things should not be wasted, and said: "Put away the original set of utensils, and put this set in the study." Finally, I got a desirable and valuable thing.
