As usual, Zhang Gui told some things about the academy and reported on his studies.
He was indeed very talented in reading, and even Zhang Zhao admired him for this.
Only the closest people were here, and everyone spoke freely.
Yutong had just learned about the draft recently, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried, so she told her parents.
"The Leng family has also hired a nanny.
I heard that Sister Leng is going to have a draft the year after next.
How is the draft divided?
Will my daughter also be in the draft?"
This is a good question.
Zhang Zhao glanced at Qu.
He had never thought that his daughter could participate in the draft.
Moreover, the rules of the draft were that the legitimate daughters of third-rank officials and above were mostly the wives of the clan, while the daughters of concubines or lower-ranking officials were the wives of the clan. , it is very likely that she will enter the palace or be a concubine for various princes.
Of course, the Xungui family had one or two places, but Zhang Zhao was a concubine, and he never thought that his family would please them.
Mrs.
Qu didn't think her daughter would have such a great opportunity.
Even if they wanted to, Zhang Zhao's position was low after all.
She said: "There are so many sisters in the Hou Mansion.
They are all competing for their heads.
How can you not get your turn?"
” Yutong covered her chest and then smiled: "I was scared to death.
I thought I was also going to participate in the draft."
"Mom, I can't bear to let you go to the show."
Mrs.
Qu couldn't help but speak in Beijing dialect.
As the daughter of Qu Guogong's mansion, she naturally wanted to go to the show, but she had too many sisters, so naturally she couldn't take her turn.
As for her, it was better to be like this.
Marrying Zhang Zhao would make her feel more at ease.
Zhang Gui is not willing to let his sister marry into any royal family.
His father is only a fifth-grade magistrate, and the people in the Hou family will not speak for them.
His low status is destined not to give his sister much help.
These days, women have lost their natal family. , it’s not that easy to establish one in your husband’s family.
Although there is no need for a talent show, the rules still need to be learned well.
While Yurou was busy embroidering the dowry, Yutong also welcomed her nanny.
Mrs.
Qu was very happy to see the people sent by the Duke's Palace, and asked a few more questions, "How is the old lady's health, and how is the old man?"
The person who came was none other than the eminent woman in Qu Guogong's mansion, and she responded in a nice way: "So that Mrs.
Sixth Aunt knows that the old lady has taken the medicine you brought from Yunnan, and she can be kept there for a year or two."
A lot.
The old man is also tough and even went to the palace to receive a banquet during the Chinese New Year."
After she finished speaking, she saw a girl next to Qu looking at her with a smile, and said quickly: "This is the sixth aunt's daughter, she is really very elegant."
She was not lying, Qu was thin and delicate, My daughter is bright and generous.
Once she stands there, she cannot be ignored.
She was even more happy to praise her daughter than to praise her.
Mrs.
Qu said to Yutong: "This is the person who serves your grandmother.

You can just call her Mother Hu."
Yutong smiled and called out: "Mother Hu."
Mother Hu introduced the foster mother she had invited to Mrs.
Qu: "This is Aunt Liang who came from the palace of Concubine Zhou.
She has the best rules.
She was originally brought here to prepare Sister Xun for the general election.
She didn't I think I am related to Miss Tong from my sixth aunt’s grandma’s house.”
These words were just as explicit as saying that Mr.
Qu had robbed people from the government.
Yutong had heard it, and Mr.
Qu certainly knew it too.
She secretly took a look at this Aunt Zhu.
She was dressed very plainly, her eyebrows looked very gentle, but her back was very straight, which was completely different from the spirit of the servants serving in the room.
While Yutong was looking at Aunt Zhu, Aunt Zhu was also looking at Yutong.
She was a daughter of a fifth-rank official, but she didn't have any smugness about her.
She was open and easy to look at, her eyes were clear, and she didn't show any fear.
It's refreshing.
After a face-to-face meeting with Mrs.
Qu, she sent her daughter off.
She also had to discuss the issue of treatment with Mother Hu and Aunt Zhu in person.
Aunt Zhu was enshrined in the palace and wanted a place to live in her old age.
Mrs.
Qu promised three hundred taels a year plus food and clothing for all seasons.
Mrs.
Qu agreed with all the money, and Grandma Zhu felt at ease.
Maybe the Zhang family was not the poor family she imagined.
Mother Hu also had the same idea as Mother Zhu.
Mrs.
Liu Gu was a concubine.
If the old lady hadn't taken her with her because she thought she was honest, then such a good marriage would have been snatched away by a third party, and she would have no choice but to marry.
She married a concubine in the Hou family, and everyone in the family said that Mrs.
Liu Gu was unlucky.
Now that I look at it, I feel that it is not as bad as I imagined.
It is strange that people say that three years to clear the magistrate's office and earn one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver.
Mother Hu thinks that Mrs.
Liu Gu must be rich now.
While eating, Mammy Zhu observed Yutong.
She got along well with her concubine sisters, and she was more affectionate to her younger sister.
She was very proud in front of her parents and was a very independent girl.
Often for such people, learning rules only means that they can live a better life without being bound by the rules.
Zhang Zhao agreed with Qu and Yutong's decision to find a nun to teach them.
He felt that although his daughter was smart and knew how to advance and retreat, her temperament was a bit ignorant, and generally speaking, she was a bit crazy.
This "crazy" doesn't mean that her daughter likes to talk big or something, but that Yutong has a fearless spirit in her character, and she often thinks about people who are unwilling to bow their heads even if everything goes wrong.
His daughter's character needs to be polished, but polishing it too much is not good.
Zhang Zhao hopes that his daughter can restrain her own sharpness, calm down, and become a person with ups and downs on the inside, just like his wife, who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. fine.

Mrs.
Qu asked a nanny to educate her daughter.
It was not that Aunt Mao had never felt sad, but Yurou advised her: "After all, Yutong came out of my wife's belly.
If she gets better, I, as a sister, will not follow her."
Zhanguang, why do you need to worry about me?"
"My son, I want you to persuade me.
Don't worry, that's what my aunt said.
I also know what my wife is thinking.
When I return to the capital in the future, if the gap between me and the girls in the Hou Mansion is too big, the third master and the third wife How can I save this face?
"Aunt Mao is a daughter of the Anping Marquis, and her understanding of the Marquis is probably as good as that of the Qu family, so she said this.
Yurou was also born in the Hou Mansion, but she has been in office since she can remember, so she doesn't know the people in the Hou Mansion very well.
People are often curious about things they don't understand.
She snuggled into Mao's arms and couldn't help asking about the affairs of the Hou Mansion: "I will marry in Yizhou in the future.
I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the Hou Mansion for a long time.
I really envy the other sisters."
Can live in the Hou Mansion.”
Aunt Mao thought of her days in the Hou Mansion, which were the happiest days for her.
At that time, the third master was young and talented, and very handsome.
He was also extremely kind to the people around him, an old lady, even the new ones.
Mrs.
Qu wants to avoid her own sharp edges.
In such a good life, she would rather lose ten years of her life than be like now, living in an ignoble way by begging for mercy, with a sign of gratitude on her face.
But since coming out of the Hou Mansion, Zhang Zhao has basically not touched her, and his heart is all about Qu.
Mr.
Qu was as elegant and refined as white porcelain, and had a cold temperament.
She did not look like a concubine at all.
She had never taken Mr.
Qu seriously at first.
A woman must be gentle and considerate in order to please a man.
A tough-tempered woman like Qu has a lot to suffer.
At first, she was complacent.
Anyway, she gave birth to a son and a daughter, and they came from an old lady.
The third master would not look at the monk's face.
She wanted to see the Buddha's face, but she was secretly waiting to see Qu's joke.
Unexpectedly, Mrs.
Qu gradually gained a foothold under her nose.
At that time, she was able to bribe two or three people to get the news.
Later, when these people refused to pass on the news to her, she realized that Mr.
Qu was the winner after all.
Got her.
Only those who are in a winning position in the back house can suppress the subordinates from moving.
Since he has already been defeated, there is no point in talking more.
Aunt Mao is also afraid that her daughter will be unwilling to accept it again, so she pats Yurou on the face: "Everyone has their own fate, and the daughters of the Hou Mansion may not necessarily have the same fate as you in marriage."
Okay.
Take the old man’s favorite couple, Aunt Yang.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Aunt Yang is marrying the youngest son of the Imperial Academy’s Jijiu.
This is a good match, right?”
Yurou couldn't help but nod: "I am a fourth-grade official in the Imperial College, and I am also a civil servant.
I must have a good family tradition."
Mao also sighed: "Yes, the second young lady of the palace and the legitimate son of a scholarly family are a good match for their talents and looks.
Unfortunately, the students of the Imperial Academy had to submit a letter that year, and Master Jijiu was dismissed from his post after failing to do things well. " At this point, she narrowed her eyes and replied: "As the daughter of a concubine, the dowry is not much, the housework is very busy, and the second aunt's wife is still pregnant with the child, and she accidentally gave birth prematurely.
I also risked my life."
Yurou exclaimed.
Aunt Mao continued: "Little Aunt Yang is more favored than Big Aunt Yang, so the third aunt's wife married better.
But the third aunt's wife was a little naive.
She married into a salt merchant's family, but she expected her husband to only love her. , I can’t give birth to a son myself.
She refused to take concubines.
Later, when her husband died, the family took away all the money on the grounds that she had no children.
If she were stronger, she would hide some possessions for her daughter.
But once her husband died, she couldn't hold on anymore and she became obsessed.
It was confusing, and in the end there was nothing.”
"No, why didn't the Hou family stand up for her?"
Mao Shi smiled again: "At that time, Aunt Yang was no longer favored, and Mrs.
Sangu had no biological brothers.
Who would go south to do this with her?"
Yurou was covered in cold sweat.
Isn't her situation the same as that of her third aunt?
Aunt Mao has fallen out of favor.
She has no biological brothers.
If something happens to her husband's family, who will stand up for her?
She can't help but feel sad. .
How she wished that her brother was not dead and that there was someone to support her.
Is it too late now?
Her relationship with Zhang Gui is very ordinary, her relationship with Yutong is superficial, and she doesn't talk much to Yujia.
She is thinking about whether she should build a good relationship with everyone.
After she stood up, she also had an idea in her mind: "Auntie, do you still have the satin that my wife bought last time?
I want to make a few pairs of shoes with my father and my wife." gd1806102:
