"Master Liu, you are welcome!" Dealing with officials is really a technical job, and I don't know what to do in the days to come! After sending Liu Shangshu away, Yu Xiaocao stretched her waist and put her legs on the other chair. Xichun squatted beside her obediently, helping her pinch her sore calf.
When the house came in, this was what he saw. He laughed and said, "Hey! The official is not a big official, but he puts on airs. If your godmother sees it, he will talk about you for a few days!"
Regarding Yu Xiaocao's dismissal, Fang Fangzhen was happy for her for a while, but Mrs. Fang was very worried. You said, if a good girl's family doesn't lead the inner court to learn the rules and learn the housekeeper, and mix with a group of gentlemen on errands, what will outsiders say? It is estimated that there are many people who are not dealing with the general's mansion, and they have prepared melon seed snacks, waiting to see the excitement!
Originally, Mrs. Fang's plan was to bring her to the mansion when her goddaughter was twelve or thirteen years old, to restrain her temper, learn more things that a lady should learn, and take her to a few flower parties and tea parties to see each other. A good marriage.
What's happening now, first of all, the king of Yangjun, who is rumored to be a cold-faced murder god, followed him all day long without avoiding suspicion. It caused her close friends in the boudoir to ask her more than once if she had appointed her goddaughter to the king of Yangjun as a concubine for the sake of planning for the master.
Is she like that? Only she knows how much she loves Xiaocao, she is closer than her own daughter, she wants the best for her in everything, especially in marriage, and she doesn't want to wrong her. How come it was rumored that he became the future of his master and sent his daughter to be a shameless person as a concubine? The grievance in Mrs. Fang's heart!
The emperor didn't bother to make a big move, you said that you asked Xiaocao to help you with farming, and sent someone to make an order in private, or just pass on a verbal order. Why bother to summon her into the palace with great fanfare and give her a sixth-rank sesame official. This... Isn't this embarrassing people
Since ancient times, how many women can be officials? Even Shangguan Wan'er, who was beside Emperor Zetian, did not end well in the end. Among the ministers in the court, which one is not arrogant and wants to be an official with a woman? Don't look at the emperor's decree, except for the emperor and Liu Shangshu, who is really planning for the people of the world, how many people really think highly of her family
What kind of grace is this, Your Majesty? It really cut off the way for her family's goddaughter to marry the son of an official! Those who have been in aristocratic families for many years and who have failed in the ranks of scholars, who would want to marry Yu Xiaocao, who is in the public eye all day long and is an official who is like a joke in the eyes of some people? When the imperial decree came out, Mrs. Fang was so angry that her chest hurt. Your majesty, you are too aggressive to do this!
Yu Xiaocao, who was teased by her godfather, knew what her godmother was thinking, and smiled, and let go of the erected legs. After meeting with godfather, he said: "I won't occupy godfather's study, go back to the yard and change clothes first, lest godfather see me wearing this official uniform and say I'm neither fish nor fowl, and feel upset."
Fang Fangzhen remembered what his mother-in-law said to him last night, sighed, and said: "Your godmother really plans for you. Think about it, many of the official children in the capital haven't found a sixth-rank job yet. What? Any handsome young man would want his wife to overwhelm him? Your godmother is worried about your future marriage!"
But Yu Xiaocao smiled indifferently, and said: "I know the godmother is doing it for my own good. My father said that he will keep me until I am eighteen. Isn't there still six or seven years left? I really love and respect me." Yes, I won’t be blinded and shackled by those worldly eyes. Those who think too much, worry about this and that, and look down on women in their bones, daughters are not rare! Creatures like a sincere man are lucky to me, but not to me! Everything Let's just let it go!! If I can't find someone who suits me in the future, it's okay to live alone. Godfather, godmother and little Linlin, can you still watch me starve and be bullied?"
"Bah bah! What are you talking about? The girl in my house town is still worried about getting married? Our family Xiaocao is so good, and the cooking skills at such a young age are even inferior to the royal chef, and he can make money. Those who look down on us are blind Yes, it’s not worthy of our Xiaocao at all!! You can’t talk about being single for a lifetime, if your godmother hears about it, you have to lie on the bed for ten days and a half months?” House town glared at the little girl and blamed her for being messed up. say.
Yu Xiaocao is not afraid of this godfather, but she is a little bit afraid when facing the godmother. It's not that the godmother treats her badly, but she's so kind, she always considers her, and strives to make her look like a virtuous and virtuous lady from a famous family. The thought of being restricted in walking, talking, and every move, like a monkey under a magic spell, gave her a headache.
Making a face at her godfather, Yu Xiaocao led Xichun to her yard. As soon as she entered the door, a creature in the shape of a meat ball rushed over, staggered, hugged her leg, raised her face and called "sister" in a childish voice.
"Hey! Why is little Linlin in sister's yard? Waiting for sister to come back?" Bending down to pick up the little guy, his hands were really heavy. The little guy has a lot of weight!
Fang Haolin's nanny smiled happily, and said: "Miss, just as you left the house, the young master shouted to come to you. No, I waited for the whole afternoon, and I didn't know how many times I talked about it. If you don't Come back, it's time for our young master to make trouble!"
Mrs. Fang had already beaten the maids in the mansion, and she had to treat Yu Xiaocao just like her own daughter, and she must not be sloppy or disrespectful. Otherwise, beat them out with sticks! Coupled with the fact that the four big maids around the lady are all respectful to the lady, the others dare not make mistakes.
The nanny is also shrewd, and from time to time she takes the little boy to walk around the girl's yard. There are young ladies who you can't help but want to get close to, and there are a lot of snacks you haven't eaten. Fang Haolin's little friend even runs to his sister's yard three times a day, and stays until lunch or Satisfied to leave after dinner.
Yu Xiaocao hugged her younger brother and went back to her room. As soon as the lady entered the general's mansion, the news spread to the courtyard. At this time, hot water had been prepared in the clean room, and Wutong was already waiting beside her with the clothes that the young lady often wore.
"Loquat, give the peach to my little master. It's time for dinner, just feed him half of it." Yu Xiaocao handed the heavy lump to the nanny's hand. It was only a short walk from the courtyard door to the room, and her arms were sore from exhaustion. I have to make a suggestion to my godmother in the future, the little guy can walk steadily, he can't be hugged all the time, come down and run by himself, it's time to exercise. In case you grow up to be a big fat man in the future, you won't be able to marry a wife.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing. She is too unreasonable to worry about it, her godfather was born as a military general, and she can let her only son grow up in the inner courtyard. Gu Gu's godfather is now planning to let his son practice basic skills when he is three or four years old.
After taking a simple shower and changing into some comfortable clothes, Yu Xiaocao led the younger brother who had eaten half of the coveralls to the main courtyard. Mrs. Fang has been waiting in the room for a long time.
Asking the nanny to take away the little girl who cheated and wanted to stay with her sister, Mrs. Fang asked with concern: "Why have you been gone for so long? The emperor didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
Yu Xiaocao saw that the godmother's face was a little sallow, and her eyes were obviously black and blue. It was obvious that she hadn't had a good rest in the past few days. How could you make things difficult for me, a little girl? The emperor cared about farming and asked me a few more questions about farming. Don't worry, the job the emperor entrusted to me is exactly what I am best at. I will definitely not let the emperor and the godmother you Disappointed!"
Mrs. Fang patted her daughter's soft and delicate hands. These are a pair of tender little hands that even a famous lady can't match! Such little hands should have stayed in the inner house doing needlework, flipping through idle books, tending flowers and plants when happy, picking up cakes and sipping tea when unhappy.
As a result, now, he has to work with a group of officials from the household department to tend the crops. It's not that she looks down on peasant girls who help the family with farm work. In the past, her daughter helped the family grow vegetables and melons to make stewed vegetables. Didn't she say nothing? Alas... Accidentally, I thought of something bad again. In less than a while, Mrs. Fang had already sighed several times.
Yu Xiaocao hurriedly comforted her and said, "Godmother, I was appointed an official, it is the emperor's affirmation of my ability. Hand over the Huangzhuang to my management, and carry the emperor's expectations for me and the deep love for the people of the world. Etc. Back in Dongshan Village, those little sisters know that I have become an official, and they don't know how envious they are!"
Seeing that Mrs. Fang still had an expression of being overwhelmed, she continued: "Godmother, thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness. Besides, I like this job very much. As long as the crops are planted well, the Huangzhuang of several hundred hectares , together with the nearby hills, aren’t they all under the control of my daughter? We can plant various fruit trees on the hills, and set aside a part of the land to grow vegetables and melons. In this way, it is convenient to harvest vegetables in spring and melons in summer. Say, you can also make more income."
"Nonsense! Since the emperor has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, you should do your work honestly, and don't do anything that is trivial. If you are impeached by someone with a heart, the emperor will blame you, and you will have good fruit!" Mrs. Fang was treated like this by her. Said, had to recognize the facts. Since it can't be changed, give her the greatest support so that she has no worries.
well! She is not a qualified godmother. The little girl in her family was both appointed as an official and summoned alone, so she must be very nervous and frightened when faced with this situation. Instead of giving her support and help, she fell ill and needed her daughter's comfort. Alas... It's true that the more I live, the more I go back! Didn't she bravely stand up to the gossip in Beijing without her son? Why did she become cowardly after becoming a mother
What my daughter said is right, it is a blessing not a disaster, if it is a disaster you can't avoid it, I am afraid it is useless, the key is how to turn the harm into a benefit! She couldn't believe it anymore, with the titles of her family's lord, the third-rank general and the Zhongqin uncle (accredited after the Japanese pirate incident), she couldn't find a satisfactory husband for her daughter
