Chapter 8 The old past

Mother Du knew that she couldn't persuade Chu Liangrao, so she glanced at Ding Xiang. Ding Xiang was also very conflicted, and being looked at like this was directly fooled.

"That's it." Chu Liangrao said to Ding Xiang, "I heard that you can write, how about you?" Ding Xiang quickly responded, went to the desk, spread the paper flat with a paperweight, picked up the hanging With the pen on the pen holder, her hands trembled slightly.

"Princess..." Mother Du wanted to try her best one last time, so she listened to Chu Liangrao's order, "Mom, come and polish the ink."

Mother Du sighed helplessly, and resigned herself to the desk to help grind it, while Chu Liangrao seriously conceived how to write.In her previous life, she had never seen a serious contract except when signing the contract. It is really not easy to standardize the terms and conditions she thinks.

Simply let Ding Xiang make a draft of what she thought of first, and then plan, Ding Xiang rhetorical about the words and sentences, but it looks a little bit better.Without waiting for the ink on the paper to dry, Chu Liangrao asked Ding Xiang to read it once, and when he felt that it was almost done, he asked Ding Xiang to copy it again.Finding out his own seal and stamping it, Chu Liangrao's movements were done in one go, without any delay.

Mother Du sighed a lot when she saw it, how important the princess's seal is, to be treated like a joke, but she was powerless to stop it, so she just turned a blind eye.

Seeing that Chu Liangrao was so straightforward, Ding Xiang also signed it, and she pressed her handprint without a seal.After the ink was dry, she handed the documents to Chu Liangrao and said, "Princess, I believe you. After I show it to my father tomorrow, I will return it."

"It's yours, you keep it." Chu Liangrao picked up one and read it again, and praised, "Your handwriting is pretty good."

Ding Xiang wrote in the lower case of hairpin flowers. Her father, who is used to cursive writing, usually said that she was petty. She had never heard such a compliment, and she blushed immediately: "The princess is too proud."

"Good is good." Chu Liangrao took away the paper and did not accept Lilac's.

Picking up the teacup, he took a sip of the tea to moisten his throat, Chu Liangrao felt itchy looking at the pen, so he went to the desk and wrote a few words.Apart from attending interest classes in primary school, Chu Liangrao has never touched a writing brush. Although the characters he writes are not brilliant, but fortunately they are well-behaved and not ugly.

Mother Du saw Chu Liangrao's words and said: "On weekdays Mr. teaches the princess, and the princess is too lazy to do anything, but today I am in a good mood."

After hearing this, Chu Liangrao's hands were in the air. How could she have forgotten this? She didn't even know what the previous master's handwriting looked like, would anyone see it?But I wrote everything, so I simply tried my mother Du who is closest to me: "Mom, do you see that I have made progress?"

After carefully reading Chu Liangrao's handwriting, Mama Du smiled and said, "Mom, I can't read, but it looks neater than before."

Looking at Mother Du's expression, Chu Liangrao secretly heaved a sigh of relief after noticing anything unusual, and said, "In the future, I will practice calligraphy every day, anyway, I will be idle anyway, Ding Xiang, help me grind it." Chu Liangrao pondered If it is said that Ding Xiang will guide her, she will not dare to accept it, but if she gives a few pointers while grinding, it is nothing.

"Yes, the princess." Ding Xiang didn't hesitate, and readily agreed.

After this matter was over, Mother Du only left Lilac in the room, and she withdrew to watch the three maids' sewing.Ding Lan is used to this skill, so she is naturally much better than Zhen'er and Zhu'er. Zhu'er has a restless temperament, so she can't help talking to someone after two stitches. lively.

Seeing Mother Du coming, Ding Lan stood up and gave way, Zhu'er couldn't help asking: "What is Sister Dingxiang doing in there, why hasn't she come out for so long?"

"The princess wanted to practice calligraphy on a whim, so she asked her to go in and grind ink." Mother Du sat down and replied with a smile.

"Sister Dingxiang can read and write, that's great." Zhen'er said enviously.

"Let me see your handicrafts." Mama Du changed the topic, and Zhu'er hurriedly hid the pattern she embroidered behind her back, but she couldn't hide it and had to take it out. In other words, she was so ashamed that she hid behind Zhen'er, and Zhen'er smiled and helped her out, "Mom, don't talk about her anymore, otherwise this girl will be ashamed to see others."

Ding Lan covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Don't protect her, you should improve her memory."

Zhu'er curled her mouth and shook Zhen'er's arm: "Sister Zhen'er, just look at her and bully me."

"It's alright, alright, let's not say a word." Mama Du stood up and smoothed things over. She stroked the patterns embroidered by Ding Lan and felt the fine and precise stitches. She smiled slightly, "You guys, Ding Lan is the most down-to-earth."

It was the first time for Ding Lan to praise in public like this, she let out an unexpected ah, then carefully glanced at Zhen'er and Zhu'er, seeing that they didn't feel disgusted towards her because of this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mother Du shook her head imperceptibly after seeing it. This girl is still too cautious.

After a while, Lin's mother in Gu's room brought Xia Hua to bring a message to Chu Liangrao, saying that the prince will return to the mansion tomorrow, and the princess is too busy with arrangements to come and see Chu Liangrao.Chu Liangrao naturally knew that this was just an excuse, and he didn't take it seriously, he just said: "Mother has worked really hard, please tell me something for me, let her pay attention to her body."

Mother Lin was slightly surprised in her heart, but she had a kind face on her face: "The servant girl will definitely convey the Princess's wishes." Afterwards, she and Xia Hua accepted the reward together and bowed their knees and retreated.

After dismissing the maidservants, Mother Du said: "Princess, the prince will return to the mansion tomorrow, you must take your temper back. Maybe the prince thinks you are good, so he will give you the freedom of restraint." Woolen cloth?"

The former sentence came from the heart, while the latter sentence was a carrot hanging in front of Chu Liangrao's eyes.

Chu Liangrao also knew that Mama Du had good intentions, so she said sincerely with the intention of being a new man: "Don't worry, Mama, I will definitely behave well and strive for a reduced sentence."

After hearing Chu Liangrao's vivid description, Mother Du, who was still very worried, couldn't help laughing and said, "You didn't listen to what the prince said before, but now you know how to be afraid." Although such words are intimate, they inevitably do not fit her identity , Mama Du changed her tone and said, "My lord will be happy knowing that the princess is sensible. It's all thanks to the blessing of the former princess' spirit in heaven."

The first concubine that Mama Du mentioned was not Gu Shi, but her biological mother Yu Shi.

It's a pity that the confidante was unlucky, after giving birth to Chu Liangrao, the Yu family passed away.When it comes to the grievances and grievances of the previous generation, although Chu Liangrao is not clear, she also knows a general idea from Du's mother.

Yu Shi was originally the main concubine of Mingyang King Chu Chaoyang. She was physically weak and lingered in bed for a long time, but it did not prevent the husband and wife from respecting each other as guests.Unexpectedly, the current empress' niece, Gu Shi, fell in love with the handsome and handsome Chu Chaoyang, and Chu Chaoyang was determined not to divorce his wife, so the empress thought of a trick and let Gu Shi marry into the palace as an ordinary wife.

After that, Mrs. Yu couldn't afford to fall ill, and soon after she gave birth to Chu Liangrao, she drove west, and Mrs. Gu was able to recover. The only compensation that the royal family gave Mrs. Yu was to make the baby who was still in its infancy become a saint. It was given by Princess Ning'an.
