Chapter 60 The real daughter, she quit (6)

"Although I have only returned to Beijing not long ago, I also know that there are some of the most prestigious academies here. Those academies have strict rules, and the masters are also very good." Haiyao paused for a while when she said this, and then again He opened his mouth: "Although the academy is not easy to enter, as long as father is willing to show up, the gentlemen there will give some kind of favor, right?"

"This... our family already has a gentleman who teaches your brother, besides, your father is also very knowledgeable, and he will test his homework whenever he has time..." Mrs. Zhao was moved and afraid that the old lady would disagree. .

"Father has been busy in court recently. How can he have time to take care of his elder brother and cousin? Besides, my grandmother said that there are no good gentlemen in Rao City. My cousin must be much less educated than my elder brother. The school can Let him accumulate knowledge quickly, and wait until he has completed enough to go back to the mansion to be with my brother."

"Besides, the school has a day and a half free every seven days to go home, and grandma won't miss it very much." Haiyao's words were well-founded, and it was easy to convince Mrs. Zhao.

What Mrs. Zhao is most worried about is that after Wu Zitian comes, the old lady will cause many troubles out of thin air. If she can really throw people into the academy, she can only come out one day out of seven, so where can the trouble go?
Temporarily resolving an annoying matter, she smiled a little at the corners of her brows and eyes: "I'll discuss it with your father later."

Wu Xiuyuan probably had no reason to refuse, but sending him to the academy was not intended to harm him.Besides, Wu Zian is involved in this matter, people are selfish, and within a certain range, they will definitely pay more attention to their own family.

The big stone that was blocking her heart fell to the ground, and Mrs. Zhao regained her spirits. After a few words of advice to Haiyao, she hurriedly got up, ready to go to Luyuan to clean up there.

After another two days like this, Wu Xiuyuan finally returned to the mansion from the Imperial Academy, and the whole family got together for a meal that night.

During the period, Mrs. Zhao probably mentioned a few words about sending Wu Zitian to the school, and the old lady became a little unhappy immediately.

However, I don't know if it was because Wu Xiuyuan knew his wife's plan in advance, but he praised a school in central Beijing, thinking that sending his nephew there was a good choice.

When the old lady heard that not only did she have to entrust someone to enroll in the school, but the one-month repair cost nearly a lot of money, and the students who came out from there were very famous, her mouth moved, but she couldn't say anything. What objections come.

So the matter was settled.

Soon it was the day that the old lady said that Wu Zitian would enter the capital. At the same time of the day, there was movement at the porter's side.

At that time, Haiyao and Wu Jinrou were both embroidering flowers with Mrs. Zhao in the Qingsong Courtyard. When they heard the servant came to report, Mrs. Zhao sneered, "You came quickly."

After finishing the words, she tidied her hair a little, then the woman twisted her waist and walked towards the front yard accompanied by Qingqiu.

Only Haiyao and Wu Jinrou were left with big eyes and small eyes. Although the two of them maintained the harmony they should have on the surface, only they knew what they were thinking in their hearts.After looking at each other, they looked away in a tacit understanding, pretending to be focused and busy with the mandarin ducks they were embroidering.

Maybe it was Zhao Shi's subtle reaction on the day the old lady came back that aroused Wu Jinrou's vigilance. During the recent period, she almost grew up in Qingsongyuan. Come here, the mother and daughter seem to be reconciled as before.

However, Wu Jinrou did not let down her vigilance, because she found that the relationship between Haiyao and Zhao Shi was obviously much closer, and it seemed that there was some bond overnight.

Thinking of this, the girl pursed her lips, and suddenly said, "I haven't asked my sister yet, it's been nearly two months since I returned home, but is there still something I'm not used to?"

"No." Haiyao replied concisely, without any desire to talk more.

"Did my sister learn female celebrities in her previous home?" Wu Jinrou was not annoyed by the cold reception, but instead raised the embroidered mandarin duck in her hand: "Be careful, my sister may be I don’t know how expensive these silk fabrics are, but they will be scratched if the hands are rough.”

"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to embroider. My mother has always been kind. When you get married, she will definitely ask you to make your wedding dress."

The inside and outside of the words are full of naked ridicule, laughing at that she grew up in the countryside, did not receive a good education and did not see much of the world.

Haiyao felt quite strange about this, raised her head slightly, and glanced at the other party several times like looking at a fool: "Sister Jinrou, don't worry about me, I don't know if you have heard an allusion? It is orange, and when orange grows in Huaibei, it becomes trifoliate."

"Now that I have returned home, I can be taught by my mother every day. Mother and daughter are connected. I can always inherit some of my mother's ingenuity."

"But don't tell me, this mandarin duck is not very well embroidered, it looks more like a dove, a dove that occupies a magpie's nest."

After being stabbed brightly, Wu Jinrou's pretty face turned pale, and she wanted to retort unwillingly, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by a panicked voice from the yard.

"Eldest Miss, Second Miss, madam, please go to the main hall in the front yard!"

Hearing the words, the two got up one after another, opened the curtain and walked out.I saw a porter boy standing in the courtyard, who should have been jogging all the way over, not to mention panting badly, with beads of sweat still hanging on his face.

"What's the matter? Why did you ask us to go to the main hall?" Wu Jinrou wondered, the cousin from Raocheng should go to see the old lady first, even if they went, shouldn't they go to Fuyuan?

"Oh, there are so many people coming from Raocheng! The two ladies should be tight!" After finishing speaking, the young servant turned sideways, bent slightly and stretched out his hand, signaling them to go first.

Haiyao suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. When she walked quickly through the half-moon gate leading to the front yard, before she could reach the main hall gate, she heard loud noises coming from inside. .

After seeing the two of them, the woman who was waiting outside quickly lifted the curtain, and saw the situation inside with just one glance at Haiyao.

It is roughly estimated that there will be five or six people, and Mrs. Zhao is sitting on the main seat with a livid face and staring at them coldly. After seeing her figure, she raised her voice slightly: "The two of you still Say hello to uncle and aunt?"

Sitting in the lower right seat is a middle-aged couple, probably around 40 years old. Although the two are well dressed, their eyes that keep looking at each other make them shrewd and mean.

The man has a fair face, a goatee on his chin, and slightly raised eyes. He is holding a teacup and drinking tea leisurely.

The woman's figure is slightly round, and although there is a smile on her lips, it gives people a very picky feeling.

After hearing Zhao Shi's words, Haiyao and Wu Jinrou both stepped forward to salute: "I have met my uncle and aunt."

"That's your cousin Tim and sister Zhen, and the little girl next to you is your cousin Zhe." Zhao introduced, while tightening the handkerchief in his hand, biting the back groove Fang tried hard to maintain the peace on his face.

The two of them greeted each other one by one, the two cousins ​​returned the salute without any special intentions, but the cousin put on a very tall posture, just slightly bent her knees to say hello.

"The second child is really promising now. I'm afraid the mansion you live in now will cost a lot of money, right?" After the confusion, Wu Xiu, the eldest, stroked his beard and said in a strange way.

"What did uncle say, the master is just lucky to be highly valued by the emperor. This yard also belongs to the imperial court. After the master resigns in the future, he will not be able to take any bricks and tiles with him." Zhao forcefully suppressed the boredom in his heart, and then asked She cleared her own doubts: "The old lady just mentioned to me before that she asked Brother Tim to come to Beijing to prepare for the next year's provincial examination. Why..."

"Second brother and sister don't want to see us?" Mrs. Song asked with a smile.

"It's because my mother is not used to it after she came back from Raocheng. Your elder brother and I just came here pinching our noses, thinking about staying with the old lady again. We will go back as soon as Brother Tim is settled down."

fart.

Zhao didn't believe a word of what Song said.

But even though she was flustered inside, she couldn't show it on the surface. Finally, when Fuyuan came to report that the old lady had woken up from a nap, Mrs. Zhao quickly ordered Wu Jinrou to bring the family over.

After a few breaths, the main hall returned to its original emptiness, and Haiyao just stood there quietly.

The Zhao family sent Wu Jinrou away with an excuse just now, but kept her here. From a psychological point of view, this is a good phenomenon.

After all, the original owner's wish was to get back everything he should have, which of course includes his family.

"A bunch of greedy blood-sucking bugs!" Mrs. Zhao cursed in a low voice bitterly. After much deliberation, she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart, so she raised her hand and knocked the teacup on the low table beside her to the ground!
Looking down at the inconspicuous water stains on the dark floor tiles, Haiyao blinked: "Mother thinks that the eldest uncle's family came to Beijing for something?"

"Anyway, I don't have any good intentions. When your father and brother separated, those two took up most of the family property in Raocheng's hometown on the grounds that he couldn't go back. Now I'm afraid it's almost squandered." Zhao said helplessly. He rubbed his forehead with his hands, and his frown has not been loosened since just now.

"Your grandmother has always been eccentric. I'm not afraid of anything else. Your Majesty has valued your father so much recently. If something happens at this moment, what should I do?"

Wu Xiuyuan is now a third-rank university scholar. According to the emperor's appreciation for him, it is not impossible for him to be regarded as a teacher by the prince once he enters the palace.

"Maybe they really just came to visit grandma?" Haiyao said in a deep voice: "And mother, you are the head of the house, as you said, father is receiving the favor of the emperor, often Hinano hasn't seen anyone for more than ten days. If they really want to make some trouble, we should detect it early and deal with it, and father won't blame him if he thinks about it."

When encountering something, it is a good way to kill first and play later.

"You're right." Mrs. Zhao carefully sized up the daughter in front of her, as if she didn't expect her to speak such transparent words.

"Butler Wu." The woman raised her voice after finishing her emotions.

Within two seconds, the butler Wu Zhong came in with a bow, and he noticed the shattered porcelain pieces all over the place at a glance, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"I accidentally took the teacup out of my hands, and troubled Butler Wu to clean it up." Haiyao's understatement saved Mrs. Zhao from embarrassing herself in front of the old lady.

Someone came from Raocheng, and the glass was dropped here, which is hard to say.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zhao looked even more satisfied, and then softly ordered Butler Wu to add more dishes to the kitchen at noon.

Seeing this, Haiyao let her thoughts drift away, and Wu Xiucai's family flashed in her mind.

Outside, a gray cloud floated from the clear sky just now, and the dampness of the wind and rain in the air made people feel a little breathless.
