"I don't know about this maid," Wei Xin said, "but this person has come for the seventh time today. Steward Ding has sent her away so many times, but she still comes the next day. I don't know what's going on."
Tang Shiyue thought to herself, could it be that he has fallen in love with Ding Xiaoyan?
But no matter what, she didn't need to see her, and she wouldn't see her even if she had to.
Tang Shiyue directly called Ding Xiaoyan in and said to him: "Go out and tell her that no matter why she came to see me, I don't want to know. No matter how many times she comes, I won't see her. Even if she stands guard at the door, I won't talk to her. If she asks why, tell her that it's because I hate Yan Tingyue."
It really takes everything into consideration. Ding Xiaoyan was delighted and went out to tell her.
Outside,
After hearing this, Zhong Yu looked gloomy.
She was wearing a Taoist robe, but it was made of luxurious material, and it shone when she moved. The whisk in her hand was also made of beautiful jade and was very valuable. There were four maids following behind her, and she looked much more impressive than Tang Shiyue, and she didn't look like a Taoist at all.
She didn't bother him anymore and turned to leave. After she had walked a few steps, the maid asked in a low voice, "Master, will you come again tomorrow?"
"No need." Zhong Yu said calmly: "Since she is of such a temperament, it is useless to come again and again... But, such a great blessing is not something a mortal can bear, I am afraid that it will be envied by the gods..."
...
...
She pondered for a while, then looked back at the courtyard: "Forget it! It has nothing to do with me. I am just worrying about others!"
Ding Xiaoyan came in and reported, including the subsequent conversation between the master and servant.
This is what makes the Dragon Guards better than others. They are truly cautious and thoughtful.
Tang Shiyue nodded and continued eating, with no intention of asking further questions or sending anyone to investigate.
After dinner, Jiahe came in and handed her a letter, which was actually written by Emperor Ming Yan himself. Perhaps considering her cultural level, the writing was not sloppy at all and was written in vernacular.
The general idea is:
You said you would write to me, why didn't you write? Since you didn't write, I had to write to you first. I heard that you've been getting up early and working late lately, and you haven't eaten well. This is not good. Too much fatigue at a young age will shorten your life span, so don't underestimate it.
The eunuch I sent to you is good at making medicinal food. You should eat it carefully and don't act willfully just because no one dares to control you. I heard that you can't eat more than a few mouthfuls of food in a meal. Don't think I don't know.
After harvesting cotton, it’s time to come to Chang’an. If you want to grow flowers, make essential oils, etc., you can do it here. I will give you the workshop workers and I have also prepared a house for you. It’s very close to me.
Please come soon. I miss you so much that I can't even eat. The Imperial Concubine also wants to see you and is looking forward to your coming day and night.
Tang Shiyue was about to cry when she saw this.
It's really unbearable when these ancient intellectuals start to stir up emotions.
The key is to come from the heart.
Tang Shiyue immediately decided to go to Chang'an.
She has always been vigorous and resolute in doing things (with great effort), and she does what she says.
She first wrote letters to Xu Wenqu and others, asking them to come directly to Chang'an to find her after the provincial examination, and then wait together in Chang'an for the imperial examination.
The Tang family fruit wine in the town was directly handed over to Shopkeeper Shen, and Ding Jiu was called to the essential oil workshop to dismiss the workers. All the essential oils and equipment were shipped to Chang'an. Because they were in a hurry, they didn't have time to train an apprentice, so they had to go to Chang'an to find a place to start over.
As for the workshop, Huang Shoumin and his men took it away. Zhao Gou's workshop remained, and Ding Shiba's new workshop, because the masters were newly transferred from the capital, was still taken back to the capital. Apprentices who wanted to follow could follow, and those who didn't want to join Zhao Gou's side.
Then comes the personnel arrangements.
First, she asked someone to call Tang Xiu over, handed over Meng's affairs, and asked Tang Xiu to go home for two days, pack up his things, and go to Chang'an with her.
Teachers these days are so powerful that they don’t even need to ask for parents’ consent.
Then she returned to Jubao Village.
It's only been more than two months since I last came back, but I already feel a little strange.
She went to see Xiao Yaoer first.
Xiao Yaoer is studying at Xu's house. I heard that Xia Yuhui is teaching her now, so she hasn't fallen behind in her studies.
Tang Shiyue called her over and said to her, "Sister is going to Chang'an. I'm afraid she won't be back for a while. Yao, can you come with me?"
Xiao Yaoer is only six years old this year. She looks very well-behaved, with a quiet expression, and even has the maturity of a grown-up girl.
She said softly but firmly: "Sister, I want to stay."
"Why?"
Xiao Yaoer lowered her eyes and whispered after a long while, "Sister, I didn't know anything before, and I didn't know what I should do. Later... Later that person was gone, and I was a little scared. I kept guessing what Sister liked me to do. Later I couldn't guess, so I thought, anyway, I must be a little good, and if I am a little good, Sister will like me."
"Later, Ah Yang told me that you don't have to do that. Ah Yang has a big heart. She's not afraid of worrying or getting in trouble. She won't dislike you because of that. So just do whatever you want."
"I was thinking, what do I like to do... Later I found out that I like reading. I like that kind of... I can't write a word today, but I will be able to write it tomorrow. I don't know the meaning of a sentence today, but I will know it tomorrow. Books will never let you down."
She looked at her with bright eyes: "Sister, I like this. I like to study, so I want to stay here. I will teach them as much as I have learned. I like this."
Tang Shiyue nodded: "Ayao, have you made up your mind?"
"I've thought about it." Tang Shiyao said, "Is it okay?"
"Of course you can," Tang Shiyue hugged her, "Ayao, you can do whatever you want."
Tang Shiyue went to find the old patriarch.
She called Tang Meng and his wife and adopted Xiao Yaoer.
Tang Meng was honest and simple, Qian was also a smart and wise person, and they had a son but no daughter, which was a perfect match. A child like Xiao Yaoer still needed the love of her parents to feel at ease.
Her current status is completely different from before, and coupled with the aura of being an imperial companion, she is a presence that cannot be underestimated even in the capital. Of course, the old patriarch would not refuse such a pie in the sky.
Tang Shiyue also reminded Qian: "Just treat her as your own daughter. Don't worry about me. Say what you need to say and scold her when you need to. Yao'er is sensitive but kind. If you treat her sincerely, she will treat you sincerely too."
Qian nodded: "Don't worry, Master. I understand."
When I came out, Qiao Sangyu was already waiting at the door.
Tang Shiyue raised the corner of her mouth and took her back, saying to her: "I will probably be gone for several months, how about I take care of your affairs with Lao Xia first?"
The sadness on Qiao Sangyu's face disappeared in an instant, and she blushed and said, "Master! Don't talk nonsense, we are fine! I won't... I just want to live my life guarding the morning light!"
"Oh! So that's it!" Tang Shiyue said, "Since you think so, I will naturally follow your instructions... But what about Yuefang? I'm really worried about leaving Yuefang to Xiu. After all, she is young."
Qiao Sangyu said: "Master, just leave Yuefang to me, I will definitely take good care of it."
"But Shouyuefang has to deal with Lao Xia. Otherwise, you won't be able to handle all the things in Lanzhou. Without a name, you two can't stay together for a long time..."
