Cai was standing in the corridor, completely exposed.
It's still very cold in Beijing in February.
Anyway, Gu Jiu doesn't want to go out this month because the wind feels like a knife on his face.
Cai flexed her heels. Her entire body felt cold, her limbs stiff. Only a breath of warm air remained.
The maidservant who accompanied her was very indignant.
Cai glanced at the maid, signaling her not to cause trouble.
She is nothing now.
Her natal family was gone, and it was all thanks to the kindness of her husband's family that they didn't kick her out.
It's just setting rules, she can bear it.
Compared with her married sisters from her natal family, her situation was the best.
Because the Cai family was confiscated and exiled, her sisters were either divorced by their husbands, sent to farms to be guarded, or forced to spend the rest of their lives in seclusion.
Just thinking about it makes me despair.
She is the only one who can still live a normal life.
The rules were set from daybreak until noon, when someone came out of the upper room and said, "Baolin, go back. Madam is tired and has no time to see you."
Cai's face was calm, "I will come to pay my respects to Madam tomorrow."
Regardless of others' ridicule, she held the joystick upright, supported by the maid, and walked out of the courtyard stiffly.
This upper house was originally her territory, but now another woman lives in it.
Cai lowered her head to hide the anger in her eyes.
When she returned to the small courtyard where she lived, the maid quickly fetched hot water and soaked and washed her feet.
The maidservant, while serving Cai, cried, "That Cui is really too much. She actually tortured Baolin like this. This cannot go on. We must tell His Majesty the Third Prince."
Cai asked calmly, "Would it be helpful to tell him? He still relies on the Cui family, so how could he bear to let them suffer? As for me, after being convicted of corruption, I have no family to support me, so my death would be exactly what he wants."
The maid burst into tears, "The Third Prince is so disheartening. After being married for many years, how could he treat Baolin like this?"
Cai laughed sarcastically, "How can the mere affection between husband and wife compare to the gains and losses of interests? I haven't given him a son or daughter, so he is already doing me a favor by allowing me to continue staying in the palace."
"Even at this time, Baolin is still speaking for the Third Prince."
"What else?"
The maid couldn't stop crying.
I was crying for Cai and also for myself.
If the master doesn't have a good ending, the servants will suffer even worse.
"Is it going to be like this from now on? Is Baolin really willing to set the rules in front of Cui every day?"
Cai lowered her eyebrows and said in an ambiguous tone, "Wait a little longer!"
…
In the afternoon, Gu Jiu finally saw Yu Ge'er coming back.
Although Nanny Fang was very old, she was faster than anyone else. She was the first to rush out and picked up Yu Ge'er.
Nanny Fang looked at Yu Ge'er carefully and said distressedly, "Brother, you've suffered so much. You look so much thinner."
puff!
Yu Ge'er had only been away for a day, how could he have lost weight?
"Don't worry, Mammy."
Yu Ge'er wiped the corners of Nanny Fang's eyes.
Nanny Fang was comforted and felt relieved.
Gu Jiu waved to Yu Ge'er.
Yu Ge'er got down from Nanny Fang's arms and walked towards her with a serious face.
Gu Jiu took his hand and said, "Let's go home."
Yu Ge'er couldn't hold it back and immediately started laughing, his laughter was childish and innocent.
Gu Jiu touched his head and pinched his face, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back."
The mother and son walked back to the east courtyard hand in hand.
First he washed up, then changed his clothes and sat down on the couch.
"Adapt?"
Gu Jiu asked as casually as possible.
Yu Ge'er nodded, then shook his head.
Gu Jiu was anxious. Was this adaptation or non-adaptation?
Knock on his forehead, "Speak."
Yu Ge'er said, "I was sleepy this morning. I couldn't understand what the teacher said. The teacher is also ugly."
Gu Jiu's mouth twitched, "Anything else?"
Yu Ge'er thought for a moment and said, "Big brother got into a fight and his clothes were torn."
The "big brother" that Yu Ge'er mentioned refers to Xiao Qin'er's son Liu Zheng.
"Who are you fighting with?"
Yu Ge'er shook his head, "I don't know him, he's ugly."
The arrogant kid is not only a foodie, but also a face control.
Gu Jiu was speechless.
"Have you paid your respects to the Empress Dowager?"
Yu Ge'er nodded and said, "I went to Weiyang Palace with my elder brother at noon. The food in the palace was not tasty."
Gu Jiu felt sympathetic.
Both mother and son disliked the food in the palace equally.
The imperial chefs are obviously top-notch, so why do they always cook such terrible meals?
"Do you like reading?" Gu Jiu finally asked the key question.
Yu Ge'er wiped the corner of his eyes and said, "I don't like it."
Without any hesitation, I just don't like it.
Gu Jiu was very depressed, as if he had already seen the day when his son would become a poor student.
Gu Jiu pointed at himself: top student!
He pointed at Yu Ge'er again: Bad student!
I feel so tired!
what to do?
"Did the teacher assign any homework?"
Yu Ge'er nodded and took out his homework.
The study partner recorded the homework that Yu Ge'er had to complete today.
Ten pages of large characters, plus recitation.
Gu Jiu rubbed her eyebrows. From now on, she had one more task: tutoring homework.
In her previous life, she would always laugh out loud when she saw on the Internet how chaotic it was for parents helping their children with their homework.
Unexpectedly, after traveling through time and arriving in ancient times, she could not escape the fate of tutoring homework.
I feel even more tired!
Gu Jiu had no experience, so he simply said, "How about reciting it first?"
Yu Ge'er nodded, looking hopeless.
Take out the book, turn to the first page, read it a few times, and then try to memorize it.
Gu Jiu thought this was a double test of the soul and body, but he didn't expect that his son, who was a poor student, also had the constraints of becoming a top student.
The brat read it several times and memorized the whole text easily.
Gu Jiu was worried that he would forget it tomorrow, so he checked it in sections.
Yu Ge'er memorized it word for word.
Liu Zhao just happened to return home.
As a father, I came back so early today because I was worried that my son would not be able to adapt.
Gu Jiu waved towards Liu excitedly, "Come on, come on, Brother Yu is so smart. He can memorize the text after reading it a few times."
Liu Zhao's eyes lit up, "Really?"
Who doesn’t want to have a smart son to show off to?
Liu Zhao was no exception.
Gu Jiu handed the book to Liu Zhao and said, "You come and check it."
The homework only required reciting the first page, so Liu Zhao first checked the first page in a proper manner.
Not bad, not bad, the tone rose and fell slightly, without the slightest hesitation or lapse in memory. If I recited it in one breath, the Master would surely be satisfied.
Liu Zhao had more ideas.
"Come, let's review page two."
Yu Ge'er rolled his eyes secretly but did not refuse.
Gu Jiu was still in the excitement of knowing that his son was a top student, and had no idea of the undercurrents between father and son.
Liu Zhao took Yu Ge'er to read the contents of the second page.
After reciting it several times, he asked Yu Ge'er, "Can you recite it?"
Yu Ge'er opened his mouth and began to recite, word for word.
"Okay! You have a good memory. But do you know all these characters? Can you write them? If you can recite them but not write them, or even don't know the characters at all, that won't do."
Liu Zhao didn't hesitate at all and directly took away the important task of tutoring his son from Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu: “…” Hahahaha.
A cup of tea passed, and suddenly Liu Zhao's roar was heard, "Is this a calligraphy? Can what you wrote be called a calligraphy? This is bullshit! Rewrite it for me."
Yu Ge'er felt wronged.
Lu Zhao's face flushed and his neck became thick.
The situation of loving father and filial son turned into chaos in an instant.
The father and son engaged in a tug-of-war for an hour over whether what was written was dog shit or words.
Gu Jiu felt sorry for Yu Ge'er because he was really tired, sleepy and hungry, and had to get up early tomorrow.
He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Liu Zhao, "You're talking too much nonsense. This is only his first day of school, and it's already very good that he can write like this. Get out of my way."
Liu Zhao was furious. "You little bastard, I'll let you go today. If you write a piece of shit again tomorrow, I'll whip you."
"Who are you hitting?" Gu Jiu was angry. Her son was a top student. Could Liu Zhao please be reasonable?
Liu Zhao snorted, "No dinner."
I'm so angry.
Gu Jiu was too lazy to pay attention to Liu Zhao and hugged Yu Ge'er, "Don't be afraid, we will write slowly, and we will be able to finish it one day."
Yu Ge'er looked aggrieved, "Did father get angry at the Emperor's grandfather?"
Cough cough!
Gu Jiu was speechless.
It took a while before he found his voice again. "Who taught you that?"
"My father said that he was the father, and it was only natural for him to teach his son a lesson. The great-grandfather was my father's father, so it was only natural for the great-grandfather to teach my father a lesson. Maybe my father was beaten by the great-grandfather, and then he took his anger out on his son."
This was the first time since Yu Ge'er grew up that he spoke so many words in one breath without stopping.
Gu Jiu laughed at first, then said patiently: "Don't worry about your father's attitude, just study hard and make progress step by step."
“What is gradual progress?”
"Just take it one step at a time. Don't try to become fat all at once."
Yu Ge'er said "oh".
Gu Jiu thought the matter was over.
After dinner, when they were about to rest, Yu Ge'er suddenly said, "Father, do you want your son to become fat in one go?"
Ahem…
Gu Jiu: “…” Liu Zhao, you bastard, what a evil thing he has done.
Yu Ge'er was still looking at Gu Jiu eagerly.
Gu Jiu touched his head and said, "Your father's steps are a bit big, and you are still young and can't keep up. It's normal."
oh!
Yu Ge'er's face was serious, and I don't know what important life event he was thinking about.
Yu Ge'er was relatively okay, but he just got yelled at by his father.
Liu Zheng was not so lucky. When he returned home, he was beaten up by his father Liu Yi.
Xiao Qin'er was so anxious that she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to fight Liu Yi.
"You dare to fight on your first day in the palace, you're really capable."
Liu Zheng cried so hard that the roof almost fell off.
The entire palace seemed to be able to hear Liu Zheng’s crying.
Liu Zhao hid in the study and smiled triumphantly.
Hey!
My son is capable.
