The woman's bun was changed to a hanging bun, the gold and silver bead hairpins were removed, and only a pink rose that had just been cut was inserted on the temple. Guan Suyi led Mu Mu to the main room to greet her mother.
Seeing her daughter dressed as a girl, Mrs. Zhong was stunned for a few breaths, until Mu Mu stepped forward and shouted "grandmother" in a milky voice.
"Good boy, come over and let your grandmother take a look." There were few children in the family, so Mr. Zhong naturally couldn't love Mu Mu very much. The first day, he was so dear to him that he had a tendency to leave his daughter behind. Guan Suyi smiled at the two of them and slowly made tea.
"My mother is also very good. As soon as I said that my grandmother was going to smoke someone, she immediately got up." Mu Mu did not forget to release her adoptive mother.
"I know what kind of virtue she is. When she is diligent, she sleeps later than the dog and wakes up earlier than the chicken; when she is lazy, she can lie down all day, eating, drinking and lhasa all on the bed. Grandmother expected that she would sleep until the third day of the sun before she woke up." Zhong pointed out the window, "Look, if Mu Mu hadn't called you up in time, the old man and your father would have already gone down to court, and they were still asleep when they bumped into you. Play a hand."
Guan Suyi quickly clenched her palms and said shyly, "Mother, how can you expose my old bottom in front of my son? How can I teach him in the future?"
"It's good to know that you can't teach it, but you should lead by example." Zhong Shi poked her daughter's forehead with a smile in her eyes.
Seeing this scene, Ming Lan was used to it, but Jin Zi couldn't recover for a long time. It turned out that the mature and prudent, shrewd and resolute wife returned to her parents' home with such a demeanor. She would also be lazy, stay in bed, act like a spoiled child, and be good-natured. After all, she was just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, with Zhuo Zhuo Fanghua and Yao Tao Nong Li waiting for her.
Like a flower that has withered before it bloomed and returned to the soil where it took root, it quickly became vivid and bright. Jinzi sighed at the transformation of his wife, why is Zhongshi not happy? Holding Mu Mu in one hand and holding her daughter in the other, she was reluctant to let go.
After chatting for about a quarter of an hour, a report came from outside, saying that the old man and the master were back, and Mrs. Zhong asked someone to deliver the lunch, and he did not forget to tease, "I slept until the time of lunch, and several times the women of Yanjing, I was afraid. You are the only one left. Mu Mu, don't learn from your mother!"
"My mother is too tired recently. She has to recite the scriptures for the first empress dowager for ninety-nine to eighty-one days. Only one day of sleep is not enough. I need to sleep for a few more days." He screamed heartily.
Guan Suyi grabbed his chubby hand and kissed him hard, and smiled, "Mother doesn't hurt you in vain. Our Mu Mu will be the most filial and promising child in Yanjing in the future."
"That's not right!" The old man walked in with a laugh, and while taking off his official hat, he rolled his sleeves and said, "This time I will teach him personally, and no one is allowed to interfere! I must cultivate a generation of Confucian scholars in my lifetime, and fulfill the mantle of my Confucianism. "
Guan's father followed closely with a helpless expression. Didn't the old man's words imply that he taught Yiyi badly? How big is it? Need to talk about it all day
The family chatted happily for a while, and sat down to eat when the food was ready. Adhering to the rule of eating without talking or sleeping, the hall was extremely quiet. After dinner, the servants immediately cleaned up the leftovers, and the old man and the others dispersed. You were made trouble by the female officials in the inner palace, is it the emperor who helped you out?"
"Yes." Guan Suyi raised it in one breath.
"Today, I'm going to register for Mu Mu. Hu Cao said that Director Bai has already done it yesterday, and even handed over the documents to you. Is there any such thing?"
"have."
"The emperor also smoothed out the caesarean section for you, but you have soaked up the light of imperial power."
"That's not it." Guan Suyi's expression was calm, "power is really a good thing, it can build momentum, suppress people, and save lives. If you and your grandfather are in high positions and have real power, I'm afraid it will not be so easy this time. Just imagine, if our family was still in the same situation as the first time I entered Yanjing, no matter how badly I was wronged in the Zhao family, I could only swallow my anger and ask for forgiveness. Because I offended his family, it would implicate you. will be destroyed.”
Noticing that her words were full of resentment, as if she had been interrupted by arrogance, Father Guan couldn't help but point out, "Why do you need to spend your mind thinking about things that have never happened, and even more impossible to happen? How about it?"
Guan Suyi didn't even think about being authentic, "Zi Lu said: 'Wei Jun treats his son in government, and his son will be Xi Xian?' If the words are not smooth; if the words are not smooth, the things will not come true... Therefore, the gentleman regents and regents should be justifiable."
Guan's father nodded in relief, "Very good. This is a warning to the world, and it is also the way to live in the world. 'Name' is the law and ethics. Sons, each has its own position, performs its own duties, and must not overstep it. If the name is not right, it will not go well, even if you climb up the ranks step by step, you will eventually be attacked by them, and you must not die." She looked at her daughter with sharp eyes.
Guan Suyi lowered her eyes and smiled, "Father doesn't have to discuss the words of the sage with me, my daughter will soon go back to Jiaozhou to accompany her grandfather to farm the fields. If you see me in the future, I'm afraid it will not be a scribe holding a sheep, but a peasant girl carrying a hoe. ."
Father Guan stared at her for a long time, and then he stroked his beard and smiled. Guan Suyi breathed a sigh of relief and left immediately, saying that he was going to visit the senior brother in the eastern suburbs. Mu Mu was taken to the study by the old man. He was practicing calligraphy at the moment, and there was a drop of ink on his nose, and he looked very cute. She stood by the window and watched for a long time, unable to bear to disturb her grandparents and grandchildren, so she had to go on the road alone.
Ming Lan had just returned and was busy contacting her little sisters everywhere, only Jin Zi was with her master. The two arrived at the private school in a carriage, and before they entered, they heard the woman's scolding voice, "You bastard! I asked you to go to the Emperor's Mansion to be recommended as an official. You don't want to go, but you want to take part in the imperial examination. You read these books all day long. What's the use? Can you earn a few taels more? Your good junior sister has caused all your students to run away. Without Shuxu, what should we eat and drink? Hurry up and get dressed and go out to the Imperial Master's Mansion. Borrow money. No matter what, it's his family who harmed you, can't you not give any compensation?"
Sister-in-law Song, it's been a long time! In an instant, Guan Suyi's thoughts went back from the present to the past. In her previous life, she could have cleared up those slanders, but she didn't expect this good sister-in-law to suddenly retort, saying with certainty that she had seen her hanging out with her senior brother with her own eyes. After she was assigned to Cangzhou, she learned through Zhao Wangshu's self-confession that the other party had sold the senior brother for a mere thousand taels of silver, because the senior brother was expelled from the fame because of his personal moral loss, and she was afraid to continue to suffer and suffer with him.
In this world, not only women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, but the man is also afraid of marrying the wrong woman, and the price is very tragic.
Guan Suyi pushed open the door and went in, bowing, "Senior brother, I have troubled you a few days ago. Junior and sister feel really uncomfortable, so I came here to apologize to you. You don't have to worry about Mr. Lu's matter. Within two months, you will see who is right and who is wrong. Find out."
The elegant man in cold clothes and holding a scroll in his hand hurriedly returned the salute, "Young sister is very polite. It's noisy here, let's go in and talk." He didn't even look at his wife Song, and led the sister into the house.
Although the Song family was arrogant at home, she was a master who bullied the soft and feared the hard. She couldn't even raise her head in front of the graceful and graceful Miss Guan family, who was dressed in fancy clothes. How could she dare to say half a word? She hurriedly ran to the kitchen to boil water to make tea, hoping that she could give some silver taels.
Guan Suyi put a box of books in her hand on the table and smiled, "Seeing that the imperial examinations are coming, I put together a collection of classics and histories to give to my brother. I hope that my brother can go to high school this time and develop his talents. If people slander you, how many people will envy you in the future."
"Let the junior sister Ji Yan. You don't need to pay attention to the Song family, just take her words as a whisper, just listen to it. I don't have any disciples here, so I just calm down to study my knowledge and prepare for the imperial examination. The junior sister's book happened to be delivered to my heart. , just like sending charcoal in the snow to relieve people in distress, but I am disrespectful."
"Senior brother, you're welcome. If you need anything in the future, feel free to go to the Imperial Master's Mansion to find me and Dad..." Guan Suyi had a long conversation with him for more than half an hour, and the topics revolved around this imperial examination. Although she remembered the imperial examination questions of the year, she would never tell anyone whether she could pass the exam or not, and it was up to her ability. In the past life, the senior brother can be the top of the high school, and this life will not be too bad. And now that the political situation has changed drastically, the test questions may also change, who can say for sure
After leaving the private school, she vaguely heard Song's frantic voice coming from across the fence, "Did you give me two silver coins? Ah, why are you only giving away a few books? Miss Guan's family is so stingy! I bah!"
Jin Zi said indignantly, "In order to take care of your senior brother's face, we deliberately stuffed the silver under the book box, why did we get scolded? Compared with your beautiful senior brother, Song's is really unbearable! "
"That's why in this world, there are mostly clever women who match a humble husband or a good man who matches a wicked woman. It's hard to have the best of both worlds." Guan Suyi had already looked down on it.
Jin Zi thought she was insinuating His Majesty, so he didn't dare to say more, and after a while, he said, "If Madam's senior brother has not passed the imperial examination, he will not be allowed to continue to open a private school in the future? It's because I can't recruit a few disciples, and it will be very difficult to live in the future."
Guan Suyi sneered, "What is a great Confucian in the world with a great reputation? It's just to deceive the world. He is addicted to alcohol, and the alcohol poison has already soaked his liver and gallbladder. Recently, he may be worried about his life. Why should we care about a dying person?"
"As soon as you said it, Madam, the servant remembered. His complexion was red and black, and his eyes were yellow and solidified. It was a sign that the liver and gallbladder were failing. I didn't expect that Madam, you are proficient in medicine." Jin Zi was greatly admired.
Guan Suyi is indeed proficient in medical theory, but it is not because of the symptoms that he predicted that Mr. Lu will die, but through the memory of a previous life. In the last life, she dismissed Mr. Lu. This man became more and more indulgent, and even wrote a lot of slanderous words to slander her. In the end, he died of drunkenness on the side of the road, but was misinterpreted by the people as being mad at her, making her already black reputation. Add a bad debt.
In this life, he loves to die, it's all up to God's will.
Thinking like this, Guan Suyi suddenly reprimanded, "You call me 'Mrs.' one by one, do you think I'll marry your former master? Change the name to Miss in the future, or you will be deducted for three years."
Jin Zi choked, so he had to change his tune obediently.
