Chapter 1048, Masked Man
Daohua did not argue with Sun's mother, daughter and the other two. As soon as she finished speaking, she got up and went back to the inner room.
Seeing that Daohua wanted to cut off ties with them, Sun naturally didn't want to do so and immediately wanted to step forward to stop her, but was stopped by Guyu.
"Second Madam, I advise you to stop making trouble." She looked at Yan Yihuan and Yan Yile who were kneeling on the ground, "You'd better take the two girls away quickly, otherwise if the maids take action, you will really lose all your face."
Sun looked at Guyu angrily and said through gritted teeth, "How dare you!"
Seeing that she still didn't understand the situation, Guyu was too lazy to argue with her. He glanced at the maids waiting beside her, and they immediately stepped forward to drive away Sun's mother and daughter.
The moment Yan Yihan was forcibly pulled up by the old woman, she finally came back to her senses. Thinking of the extremely disappointed look in her elder sister's eyes just now, a look of panic appeared on her face.
"Big Sister"
Yan Yihan wanted to say something, but unfortunately the maids didn't give her a chance and quickly pushed her, Sun and Yan Yile out of the room.
Just then, Gu Jian, who received the news, hurried over.
When Gu Jian saw the Sun family, mother and daughter, his face turned extremely ugly.
Dare to harm Dao Mang. If he hadn't cared about his apprentice, he really wanted to kill Yan Yile directly.
Guyu knew how much the old man doted on the eldest girl, and she quickly said, "Old Master, the princess ordered me to escort them out of the palace."
Gu Jian said 'hmm' with a sullen face, and said in a cold voice: "Don't let anyone into the palace in the future. It's better not to have some relatives."
After saying that, he ignored the three pale-faced Suns and trotted into the house.
Guyu looked at the Sun mother and daughter and said, "Second Madam, two young ladies, the maids have packed your things in the guest house, and the carriage is waiting at the back door. Please come in."
Looking at the extremely tough Guyu, and thinking about the attitude of the Duke of Fuguo just now, Yan Yihan realized that they had really angered the Weiyuan Palace this time.
Although Sun was frightened by Gu Jian's cold eyes, she was still unwilling to leave the palace like this. Seeing that she still wanted to make trouble, Yan Yihan had a splitting headache, but still stepped forward and forcibly suppressed her.
If she really angered her elder sister or the Duke of Fuguo again, she was afraid that they would be kicked out of the palace by the servants.
At that time, I really had no face left.
“Master!”
Gu Jian ignored Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, and walked straight to the kang. He held Daomang, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, in his arms and coaxed the little girl in a soft voice.
Dao Mang was also very close to Gu Jian. He put his arms around Gu Jian's neck and buried his head in his shoulder.
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang looked at each other and whispered, "You stay here with Master and watch over the rice seedlings. Daozi and I will go outside to talk."
Xiao Yeyang nodded, looked at Daozi who was sitting by the window with a gloomy expression, and said, "We need to comfort that kid."
Daohua walked up to Daozi, who quickly looked up with confusion and doubt in her eyes, as well as a hint of grievance: "Come for a walk with your mother."
The rice nodded and let the rice flowers lead it out of the house.
Daohua looked at her son, who looked like an eggplant hit by frost, and sighed in her heart. The people in the palace were simple, and Daozi had been carefully protected by them since he was born. Today, he suddenly faced the viciousness of human nature and couldn't adapt to it.
"What do you think of Madam Li?"
Daozi didn't know why her mother suddenly asked this, but she still replied, "Madame Li is a very good person, very kind and gentle."
Daohua smiled and said nothing, then took Daozi to the yard where the maid lived.
When they arrived, Daohua did not bring the rice in, but stood outside the gate, looking at the yard where Nanny Li was holding a ruler and admonishing the maids in the mansion with a serious expression.
In front of the maid, Nanny Li was no longer as kind and gentle as she was with Daozi. She seemed like a different person, stern and harsh, and mercilessly hit the maid's palm with the ruler after she made a mistake.
Daozi stared at the scene in a daze.
Only after Daohua and the other rice flowers' expressions had returned to calm from surprise and uncertainty did they take him away.
Then, Rice Flower asked Rice, "What do you think of the guard leader?"
This time, Daozi didn't speak immediately. Instead, he thought for a while before saying, "The leader of the guards is very sincere."
Daohua smiled and nodded: "What else?"
Inako: "He is still very powerful."
Rice Flower: "Besides these, is there anything else?"
Daozi thought hard for a while and said, "The guards all listen to him. He is just like my mother, clear about rewards and punishments." After saying that, he immediately looked at his mother. Seeing his mother nodded with satisfaction, his brows relaxed.
Daohua didn't ask any more questions and took Daozi to the martial arts hall in the front yard.
When the mother and son arrived, the chief of the guards was assigning patrol tasks for the palace.
They also didn't go in, and just stood outside watching silently.
Daozi watched intently, and only breathed a sigh of relief after the guard leader had assigned the tasks.
Did he not look at the wrong person this time?
The little guy still had some brains. After seeing Nanny Li, he roughly guessed what his mother was going to say to him.
This time he was deceived by his fourth aunt and almost caused his sister to fall into the water. His mother was teaching him how to judge people.
Soon, the guards disbanded.
The rice flower did not leave immediately, but continued to watch while holding the rice.
Soon, only the guard leader and a young guard were left in the yard.
The guard leader threw a token to the young guard and said, "The young prince is about to go to the academy for class. The prince asked me to choose someone to drive the carriage for the young prince. You are my choice."
The young guard happily took the token and said, "Brother, you are truly my brother. I will protect the young prince well and will not bring shame to you."
Working for the master naturally has a better future than being a guard in the mansion. If you catch the young prince's eye, you can follow him forever in the future.
The guard leader said: "This kind of good thing is not ours to take place, it's just that the prince is short of people. Now I give you this only chance, you must perform well."
The young guard nodded hurriedly.
After that, Daohua no longer watched what happened and left with the rice.
On the way, Daozi frowned and pouted.
He thought that the leader of the guards was fair and impartial in his rewards and punishments, but he didn't expect that he would secretly plan benefits for his own brother and use public power for personal gain.
The rice flower looked at the rice flower with a wistful look: "Mom, I was wrong."
Daohua raised an eyebrow: "What did you do wrong?"
Daozi's face was full of grievance: "My eyesight is not good."
Daohua couldn't help laughing, and she put her arm around her son's shoulders and said, "You are still young, so it's normal that you can't see through the masks on other people's faces."
Daozi was stunned and tilted his head and asked, "Masks? They are not wearing masks."
Daohua smiled and said, "The mask mother mentioned here is just a metaphor. You can understand it as a disguise. Just like Aunt Li, she wears a mask of kindness and love in front of you."
Daozi's eyes lit up. He understood what was said: "I understand. The leader of the guards is wearing a mask of fairness and selflessness. In fact, he is not fair. He is wearing a mask, so he deceived me."
As he spoke, he snorted and clenched his fists, saying, "And Fourth Aunt, she also wore a mask, a mask that pretended to like me and my younger siblings, and she deceived me so badly."
"Mom, I hate people who wear masks."
Daohua was surprised at her son's ability to draw inferences from one instance. She smiled and rubbed his head: "No one likes to live with a mask. Everyone wants to be their true self."
"But in life, we always encounter various difficulties and problems. In order to solve these difficulties and problems, people have to wear masks."
"Madame Li wears a mask to please you. Only by gaining the master's favor can she better manage the maids and make life in the mansion easier."
"The guard leader wore the mask out of selfish motives, wanting to help his brother."
Daozi took over the conversation: "Then Fourth Aunt is wearing a mask to seduce Daddy?"
Daohua: "Uh, sort of."
Daozi said angrily, "She is so mean. Fourth brother once told me that concubines are not good people."
Daohua didn't refute her son. She smiled and continued, "So, when you look at people, you can't just look at their appearance, nor can you just look at the side they show."
"People are complex and ever-changing. They all wear masks, some with multiple layers. So when you look at someone, never make a final judgment."
Daozi pouted: "Can't you just not wear a mask?"
Daohua thought for a moment and said, "That depends on you. For example, your father is very capable and has a high status. In Xiliang, he doesn't need to wear a mask all the time."
Daozi nodded, not quite understanding, but still frowned, and said worriedly: "If I can't see through the mask others wear, won't I be deceived again?"
Daohua smiled and said, "You are not silver, so not everyone will like you. If someone approaches you, ask them why and observe them more. You may find something unusual."
Daozi asked again: "What if nothing unusual is found?"
Daohua: "Then use your heart to feel it. You can always tell if someone is sincere and genuine. If one day doesn't work, then spend more time."
"In short, whether someone really likes you or not, you must take the initiative. Even if that person is deceiving you, you can quickly resolve it."
Daozi was a little confused when he heard it. Although he didn't understand it very well, he remembered it in his mind.
Anyway, mother won't harm him.
"Oh, by the way, Mother, both Madam Li and the head of the guards deceived me. Should I punish them?"
Hearing this, Daohua continued to patiently analyze the situation with her son: "Tell me, why does the palace keep Nanny Li?"
Daozi frowned: "Training a maid?"
Daohua smiled and nodded. "That's right. As long as she can help me train the maid well and doesn't make mistakes in the big aspects, there's no need to be too harsh on her. She's trying to please you, but it's just an instinctive way to survive when facing her master. It's harmless."
"As for the head of the guards, his greatest responsibility is to protect the safety of the palace. As long as he does this, even if he has some selfish motives, it is understandable."
"His brother's mother knows that his martial arts skills are among the best among the guards. He chose his brother to be by your side. He has selfish motives, but he has not neglected his duty to protect you."
"No one is perfect. You can't expect everyone to be the best in every aspect. As a boss, you have to learn to tolerate the shortcomings of your subordinates."
