Captain Zhao didn't even have the time to teach his own daughter, so it was impossible for him to teach Yuan.

Zhao Ru originally wanted to find a book to teach herself, but Captain Zhao was afraid that she would cause trouble again, so he didn't even allow her to enter the study.

Both children were carried out and watched Captain Zhao leave.

Zhao Ru felt very embarrassed and stamped her feet while muttering:

"Bad daddy! So annoying!"

Yuan didn't care. Instead of letting her sit there and practice something she didn't understand, it would be better to let her have a couple of snacks. So he said to Zhao Ru:

"There's nothing fun about practicing martial arts. I'll just be good and try to make Master Cen hit me less, and then I won't have to use my internal energy to protect my hands."

Zhao Ru sighed: "This is the only way."

When Yuan saw that she agreed, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked:

"So what are we going to do now?"

Zhao Ru thought for a moment and said, "How about... I take you around? You can get familiar with the roads."

Yuan had no objection and followed her obediently.

As they walked, Zhao Ru introduced to her the various places in the mansion.

There aren't many people in her family. Besides her grandmother, parents, there are three older sisters and two older brothers.

She and her older brother and sister were all born to Mrs. Zhao.

The second and third sisters were born to Aunt Cheng.

My second brother was born to Aunt Wang.

My two older brothers have already married, and my eldest sister is also married and rarely comes back.

The second and third sisters are still waiting to be married.

There are also a few cousins ​​who come to stay for a few days from time to time, and they also take some time out every day to come and learn the rules from Nanny Sun with their two sisters.

Zhao Ru is the youngest child in the family, and can be considered an old-born daughter. Her brothers and sisters are older than her, and they are not born of the same mother, so they don’t have much to talk about on a daily basis.

"My second and third sisters are twins. They are always mean-spirited, but since my mother has to decide their marriage, they never dare to get angry with me.

When my eldest sister was still single, the two of them were her little followers, always submissive and attentive.

As soon as my eldest sister left, they became more powerful in front of my cousins."

Zhao Ru walked with Yuan and said:

"But they're not too annoying. They just bully the weak and fear the strong, but they just say a few words.

Aunt Cheng was also smart and gentle. She was respectful to my mother and did not compete for favor. She either stayed in her own courtyard or served my grandmother.

Otherwise, I would go to please my mother, hoping to find good marriages for my two sisters.

She is also a good cook and can make snacks. Everyone in the family likes her very much. I will take you to her place for a meal some other day and let you have a taste!

The meals and snacks she cooked were different from the ones we usually had, and they weren’t very exquisite, but they tasted very good.

We put the same ingredients in the pot, but no one can make her feel the same way."

Yuan became interested and said:

"My grandma said that each person's cooking has his or her own flavor, and the same thing tastes different when cooked by two different people.

Even if they are similar, they will not be exactly the same, like my house.

My mother cooks the best, followed by my fourth aunt.

Also, the food made by my third aunt is very similar to that made by my grandmother, neither delicious nor bad.

The meals they cook on weekdays are almost the same, but they taste different.

When my second aunt was still alive, she could use the same seasoning to make the most unpalatable food. Every time she cooked, everyone suffered!

Everyone said it might be because of the slight difference in the amount of salt, water and oil.

When it comes to stewing and stir-frying, the heat is just a little bit off, a little less here and a little more there, not obvious, but it's different.

But most people in my family can cook well. When you come to my house later, you can try my food. I can cook, too. I will ask you to try it later."

Zhao Ru also learned how to cook, but she had others cut the food for her and she just poured it into the pot. No one in the family could cook except Aunt Cheng, so Zhao Ru asked her curiously:

"Do you cook for yourselves at home? Don't you have a cook?"

Yuan: "No, it's too expensive to hire a chef, we cook everything ourselves!"

Zhao Ru: "...You are indeed very poor!"

Yuan: "Yes! But it's much better than before!"

Could it be more bitter?

Zhao Ru could hardly imagine it, so she could only change the subject and ask her:

"Is your second aunt's cooking really that bad?"

Yuan stressed: "It is extremely unpalatable. Every time I eat it, I lose my happiness."

Zhao Ru wanted to try it out:

"Then I'll go to your house some other day, and you can ask your second aunt to cook a dish for me to try, okay?"

A Yuan scratched his head and told the truth:

"But she wasn't at home, she ran away with the money and the child she found.

We came to the capital to look for them, but we didn’t have the time to look for them, and we couldn’t find them after asking around several times…”

This statement was discussed by the family. It is true, but it can also lead to misunderstanding. We can first label them as bad people, which will make it easier to catch them later.

Although Zhao Ru was still a child, she had heard a lot of things, so when she heard this, a lot of reasons instantly came to her mind.

The fact that she ran away with the money and the child she picked up made Zhao Ru feel that something was wrong. Normally, she should have taken her own child with her.

Zhao Ru remembered that A Yuan said that her second uncle's family had the most children, and they were all boys.

Zhao Ru frowned and said puzzledly: "I heard that her heart is probably not in your house. If she ran away, why are you still looking for her?"

Yuan said to her solemnly: "They took away something very important from home, so we have to find them and get it back!"

"Something very important? Is it... a family heirloom?" Zhao Ru thought for a moment and added, "Or money?"

A Yuan was ambiguous, but said seriously: "Both."

Their luck, the money they exchanged for their luck, and the luck of the villagers!

This is much more important than an heirloom!

Yuan felt so heartbroken and angry when he thought about it.

Zhao Ru felt sympathy for her the moment she saw her expression:

"Why don't you try to report it to the police?"

Yuan: "We've been there, but the government said they'd offer a reward for finding them, and they've been on the run for a long time, so they can't guarantee they'll find them."

I went there not long after Lao Fu arrived. Later, when Dalang was lost, I went there again and asked about it. The answers were the same.

"Dad went there again a while ago and promised to pay 100 taels to find them, but now there's no news, and the portrait on the notice doesn't look like them!"

A Yuan felt there was no hope. The government asked them to go and identify the person, but it turned out that none of them was the right person. They all wanted to cheat people out of their money.

There was nothing that could be done, but the Jinyiwei were well-informed, so Fu Dabai and Fu Sanbai asked some people to help look for him. In view of the reward, everyone said they would help keep an eye out.

Zhao Ru also said that she would help her pay attention to it. A Yuan told her about the appearance of Xiao Yang and Fu Bao and then skipped the topic.

The two walked forward hand in hand.

Yuan pointed to a busy courtyard and asked Zhao Ru curiously, "What is that place?"

Zhao Ru was also very upset: "That's as bad as your second aunt's matter!"

A Yuan stood on tiptoe to take a look: "Is your second aunt living in there?"

Zhao Ru pulled her away:

"No, my second aunt is pretty good, that's Aunt Wang's yard!

She is the most annoying person in the family. My second brother is not likable either, but he is under the care of my second sister-in-law and no longer causes trouble. Only she is still so annoying.

Anyway, if you ever meet a woman who looks like a fairy in the mansion, it must be her.

But you have to stay away from her. That woman is very good at blackmailing people. If she disagrees with you, she will act as if she has suffered a great injustice and cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to commit suicide. But my father pretends to be deaf and dumb because he loves her tricks.

She doesn't get along with my mother, and even I have suffered at her hands.

But she is still a good concubine and cannot be sold at will. She makes trouble all day long, but no one can find any major fault with her. She has a son and is spoiled by my father. I am so annoyed by her!

It is said that she seems to have a child, and now her courtyard is the most lively one in the mansion.

Now my grandmother can’t say anything to her, we have to stay away from her, otherwise if anything happens, it will definitely be blamed on…”

Zhao Ru was about to say "we", but then she changed her mind and thought that Yuan was a guest and Aunt Wang could not harm her, so she could only say:

"On my head!"

"What could possibly happen?" A Yuan didn't understand what was going on, and Zhao Ru whispered something to her.

Yuan's eyes widened immediately: "Is there such a thing?"

Zhao Ru covered her mouth and said, "Shh! Keep your voice down, don't let her hear it. You'll understand when you get to know more people. There are many such things in wealthy families!

Who doesn’t have some troubles in their family? "

Ah Yuan thought of his second uncle and the other two again, and nodded with his eyes lowered:

“Who says it’s not?”

The two children were whispering to each other. Although they were young, they understood everything very well.
