Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 46: :Misfortune arises from Xiao Qiang
Nanny Xu soaked the handkerchief in the water, picked it up, carried it half dry, and sat on the edge of the bed to carefully clean Yu Xiao's face.
After crying for a long time, her face was a little uncomfortable, and her face from being beaten was also in sharp pain. Yu Youyao froze and let Nanny Xu wipe her face, then took another hard-boiled egg and rolled it for a while. , just applied a layer of medicine.
At this moment, Grandma Liu came over and saw Yu Youyao sitting on the couch. Her face was red and swollen, but fortunately she had applied medicine and her mood seemed to be stable. She finally breathed a sigh of relief: " My sister has been wronged."
Yu Youyao nodded: "Don't worry, Mom, I'm fine."
Such a well-behaved appearance made Grandma Liu feel distressed. She touched her head, turned to Grandma Xu and said, "Old madam, I want you to come over."
Aunt Xu and Aunt Liu came to the flower hall together and saluted in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
Yu Zongzheng knew that Nanny Xu came from the palace. In the past, she was the most popular person in the Queen Mother's palace, so she had to pay two or three points of respect.
Nanny Xu said: "Sister, I get up at 9 o'clock every day to learn etiquette. In the morning, I learn pharmacology and nvrou, in the afternoon I learn Chinese medicine and tea, and in the evening I learn aromatics, etc."
"How is this possible?!" Yu Zongzheng didn't believe it. This eldest daughter was very stupid and had been scolded by female teachers in the past. Everyone in the house knew this.
Nanny Xu understood what he meant, and felt a little unhappy. She smiled and said, "My sister is very talented, but she is a bit loose-tempered. If she is serious, she can learn anything quickly."
Is Yu Youyao talented? Yu Zongzheng stared at Nanny Xu suspiciously, thinking that she and the old lady were fooling him together.
Nanny Xu took out a piece of silk brocade, which was exactly the green bamboo pattern embroidered by Yu Youyao: "Sister has only been learning female red from the old slave for a few days, and she can already embroider double-sided embroidery."
Yu Zongzheng took it and took a look. There was a bamboo, a branch, and three bamboo leaves embroidered on it. Although the technique was simple and crude, it was indeed a scene on both sides. It was undoubtedly a double-sided embroidery.
I heard that this technique has been lost among the people because it is too difficult to learn.
And Yu Youyao learned it in just a few days?
Is it possible?
Mrs. Yu quickly took the silk brocade from Yu Zongzheng's hand, looked at it carefully, and finally a smile appeared on her face: "Yao Yao, I actually learned how to embroider. In the first few days, I thought Yao Yao couldn't eat it. It’s a bitter experience. After struggling for a while, I can’t hold on anymore. It seems that I underestimated Yaoyao. Look, how good the embroidery is..."
Aunt Liu came over to take a look: "The jasmine tea and sandalwood in your room are all made by my sister. My sister can't study, but she is better than others in other aspects. It won't be long before you I can now wear the forehead embroidery that my sister embroidered."
This was obviously meant for Yu Zongzheng. Yu Zongzheng was in a daze. He suspected that it was embroidered by others to fool him.
However, this cannot be said.
Aunt Xu came from the palace and had very strict rules. Since her mother invited her to the palace, it was really to teach Yaoyao.
Aunt Xu's words are all filled with her closeness and love for Yaoyao, which shows that Yaoyao is a bit stupid in reading, but she is indeed outstanding in these aspects.
Girls don’t need to take the imperial examination. It is better than anything else to make achievements and learn more rules and etiquette.
The eldest daughter is indeed not as useless as he thought.
Then the slap he just gave her was really an injustice to her.
Although Yu Zongzheng did not like Yu Youyao, was not familiar with the affairs of the inner house, and was somewhat inferior in personal ethics, he had been an official for many years and had a somewhat upright temper. After learning that he had beaten Yu Youyao by mistake, he inevitably felt a little guilty in his heart. .
"By the way, you said before that Yaoyao sold out her servants and was charming and domineering?" Mrs. Yu handed the silk brocade to Nanny Xu with a cold tone.
After being thoroughly cleaned up, Yu Zongzheng also completely put away his anger, and honestly did not dare to make any mistakes again: "Because of this incident, some bad rumors spread outside, so my son..."
Mama Liu handed me a cup of tea.
Old Madam Yu talked for a long time, and her mouth happened to be dry. She took the tea from Aunt Liu, lowered her head and took a sip: "What rumors? Why didn't I know? You heard it with your own ears. ?"
Yu Zongzheng was ashamed: "No?"
As a censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it is my duty and responsibility to defend those who have been wronged. Hearsay and unverified rumors, even if it is just a family matter, are somewhat unjustifiable.
Mrs. Yu asked again: "What did Mr. Yang tell you?"
Yu Zongzheng was speechless. Although he knew that Yang had no other intentions, he could not help but blame her in his heart.
Old Madam Yu put down the tea cup heavily: "I'm afraid you don't know the truth. On the first day that Ling Huai came to live in the house, Yaoyao heard two women saying in the side courtyard that Ling Huai came to catch the autumn wind. Being disabled, Yaoyao was so angry that she ordered two women to be tied up. Is this wrong?"
When Yu Zongzheng heard this, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but get angry: "These unscrupulous slaves can sell them for thirty bucks, but they still get an advantage."
During these days, because he took in his nephew from Youzhou, many people in the court praised him for his benevolence and righteousness, which also made him fall in love with Zhou Linghuai even more. ~IndoMTL.com~ Mrs. Yu continued: "I rushed over and dealt with these two women. It was not until the end of the matter that Yang arrived late. This was already her omission and she was wrong. , it’s also the fault of Yang’s lax management of the family, how could it come into your mouth and turn him into a slender and domineering person?”
Yu Zongzheng was stunned for a moment. Yang probably didn't want to bother him with trivial matters at home, so he just mentioned it in one sentence without saying anything more. He didn't ask carefully. He felt that Yu Youyao was delicate and domineering, so he took over first. I think I understood it wrong.
The words are so clear, and the mind has not yet turned around. It can be seen that he has been really fooled by Yang, and maybe he still thinks that Yang is a good person.
Old Madam Yu no longer beat around the bush: "Yang is the housekeeper in the house. Why did the matter of the closed door spread to the outside and spread rumors? It can be seen that Yang's housekeeper is careless. But she doesn't want to tidy up the house, but instead talks about such trivial matters to you. Where does she have the face?"
Rao thought wholeheartedly that Yang was a good Yu Zongzheng, and also felt that Yang was at fault, but after all, she was his respected wife, so he couldn't help but excuse her: "Ms. Yang is worried about Yaoyao, and she also has a loving mother's heart. It's not that serious..."
Old Madam Yu said sternly: "You are an official in the court. There are court documents piled up in your study. From time to time, you have to discuss court affairs with your staff. If you are not strict in running the family, doesn't it mean that whatever is said at home has to be spread outside? There is a fire in the inner courtyard and the disaster is caused by Xiao Qiang. Do you still think this is a small matter?"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Zong's face became tense. How many officials in the court and central government in the past dynasties had their families destroyed because of fires in their backyards?
My mother is right.
This matter is indeed Yang's fault.
He looked ashamed: "Mother, it's not Yaoyao's fault for this. I didn't understand the truth and hit Yaoyao by mistake."
