Previously, the original owner not only treated this granddaughter as a marriage partner, but also as a pawn, enjoying watching them fight each other.
"You all want to go to that banquet?"
Mo Yan looked at her granddaughters.
The granddaughters suddenly didn't know how to answer, because they didn't know what their grandmother was thinking either.
"Grandmother, I think it's better for the younger sisters to go." The eldest granddaughter stepped forward directly. She just wanted to be with her sweetheart and hoped that he would pass the imperial examination and marry her in the future.
The second granddaughter naturally wanted to go, but could only say, "Granddaughter will follow Grandmother's instructions."
The third granddaughter thought for a moment and said, "I want to go."
As for the other two illegitimate children, they naturally dared not speak.
“A month after the gathering, starting tomorrow I will find a teacher to give you a few lessons. Even though you are women, you should still be able to read and write.”
In addition, the female workers' cooking skills are also essential, understand? Whoever ultimately satisfies me will be the one I take along.”
All the granddaughters were stunned for a moment. What did this mean? Was there going to be a competition?
The eldest granddaughter is Nanyin, the second granddaughter is Nanzhu, the third granddaughter is Nanyue, and the fourth and fifth granddaughters are Nanxi and Nanya respectively.
The original owner also had three grandsons: the eldest grandson Nan Zhe, the second grandson Nan Jie, and the youngest grandson Nan Xi, who was from his youngest son's family.
To be honest, Mo Yan thinks having too many people is really troublesome. For example, there are so many names that it's easy to forget them.
Although everyone was confused, they had no choice but to agree.
“Mother is absolutely right. It’s just that each girl’s learning level is different, and we’re afraid that studying together will slow down the other girls’ progress.”
The eldest daughter-in-law, Madam Gao, thought for a moment and spoke up. In her opinion, how could that girl Nanzhu possibly be as outstanding as her two daughters? As for the two illegitimate daughters, she had never paid them any attention.
"You don't need to worry about that. I have my own ideas. You and the second son's family stay here. I have something to say to you."
The two daughters-in-law were a little confused. Had they done something wrong recently?
Although the original owner managed the household, she didn't care about the affairs of her two sons' courtyards; of course, she was very biased towards them.
The two sons can take whatever money they want, but as for the daughter-in-law...
"yes."
The granddaughters went out with their idea of starting to read and learn to read. Nanxi and Nanya were especially happy because neither of them had ever learned to read.
The other three girls had their own little schemes, but these were not within Mo Yan's consideration; she was very, very busy.
Mo Yan sipped her tea, watching her two daughters-in-law sitting below, who seemed to be sitting on pins and needles.
Do you two know why I kept you here?
They don't know anything, they don't even know what they did wrong.
This mother-in-law likes to manage the household, but she doesn't manage their yard, so they have a relatively easy life. But suddenly she called on them...
"My daughter-in-law doesn't know."
The two women expressed their deep fear, wondering if their husbands had become disobedient again, and that the old lady, instead of scolding her son, was going to scold them instead.
Of course, they think this way because that's exactly what the original owner did before.
It was clearly his own son's problem, but he insisted on scolding his two daughters-in-law.
"You are both my daughters-in-law. We are family. We share the same fate, and we share the same fate."
The two were a little confused, but quickly nodded.
"I hope that even if you two can't be friends, you won't undermine each other."
It was rare for sisters-in-law to become friends, especially in ancient times, but at the very least, they couldn't be enemies. The idea of exterminating nine generations of a family was no joke.
"My daughter-in-law and my sister-in-law have always had a very good relationship."
"My daughter-in-law will learn from my sister-in-law."
Mo Yan could tell from their words that they were lying. "I'm having a heart-to-heart talk with you two today. You don't need to wear fake masks."
I know you two are both eager to know who the future crown prince will be, so I'll tell you.
Both of them looked up at Mo Yan; they were both very concerned.
In Gao's heart, her husband was the eldest son and should be the heir apparent, while the second son was a spoiled brat and could not possibly be the heir apparent.
"Without a heir," Mo Yan said calmly, glancing at them. "The Marquis has already petitioned the Emperor. Without a heir, they will have to rely on themselves to find a way out in the future."
The two: "!!!!"
Why? They didn't understand.
In fact, this is something Mo Yan learned from the original owner's memories. The old marquis felt that his two sons were not up to the task, so he directly wrote a letter to the marquisate to end his career, but he did not tell his two sons.
"Mother!" They all looked at Mo Yan in shock.
"What's the rush? So what if there's no heir? My two sons will naturally find their own way. He knows I would definitely disagree if he petitioned to make the third son the heir, that's why he said that. He's thinking about dividing the family property equally in the future, so that his precious son can get more, right?"
Yes, the original owner also had a son born out of wedlock, the third son who followed the Marquis to guard the border.
