After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Bai Qingyun finally understood: "So, the maids those people brought into the palace are all illiterate!"

Bai's mother looked around and made sure that there was no one around before speaking in a low voice.

"Not only that, I also heard that some people can climb onto the dragon bed!"

At all times, there will be life-threatening adventures that transcend class.

If a person stays at the bottom of society for a long time and is forced into a low position for a long time, he will resort to any means necessary.

It's just that some people chose more despicable means.

Bai's mother's cautious behavior made the two people present laugh.

Sure enough, this fear of imperial power made people at home far away in the countryside dare not speak loudly.

However, I don’t know if it’s because Bai’s mother has lived in Kyoto since she was a child, or for other reasons, but her behavior is more cautious.

The other women in the village would also sit together in their spare time and tell some dirty jokes about the royal family, but they would rarely tell others unless everyone agreed to do so.

"But later on, they were assigned by His Majesty to take charge of various places in the harem, and they would find time to learn some words."

Apart from anything else, you have to know how to look at the accounts of the harem!

Bai Qingyun seemed to understand why Bai's mother was treated so poorly by the nanny.

"Those people are not proficient in calligraphy, so when they see beautiful handwriting, they will be hurt."

People often become jealous when they see others have something they desire but cannot get.

Bai's mother nodded and said, "I also heard about it later. When they were assigned by His Majesty to work in the imperial farm, he invited the scholar to teach them."

"It's just that they have never been exposed to it since childhood, so it's even more difficult for them to learn."

"But at that time, His Majesty had no intention of taking them back to the palace. He just wanted to be prepared for any eventuality."

"Later, the former queen was brought back to the palace, and only then was he employed."

"It's just that Your Majesty always feels sorry that the abilities of this group of people are still somewhat lacking in the palace, but Your Majesty still has to rely on them."

"So later on, their apprentices were not just their apprentices. His Majesty also specially sent people to give them other training to better meet his expectations."

"In fact, there were rumors in the palace at that time that the old maids were sent out of the palace by His Majesty before they reached the age to enjoy their retirement, and that His Majesty already had more suitable candidates."

His youthful experiences were rough enough, and he escaped the demise of the previous dynasty. He thought he was highly valued by His Majesty, but in the end, he chose someone more suitable.

And these people, in name, are still his apprentices.

In the end, the one who loses dignity and respect is yourself.

Such experiences have caused these people to become somewhat psychologically distorted.

Bai Qingyun looked at Bai's mother sympathetically and said, "Mom, your next few days in class will be very tormenting."

Bai's mother recalled with a smile: "It wasn't that painful."

……

After the greetings, it was time for lunch, so the nanny sent everyone back to their own courtyards.

Everyone thought that today's arrangements were over and were eating lunch when they heard someone next to the nanny say.

"Mammy said that after lunch, we should gather in the yard next door!"

The people around the nanny didn't have much confidence at all, and they spoke timidly when facing a group of young ladies from government offices.

He said one sentence timidly, bowed and left without saying what time it was.

Bai's mother had no choice but to let the nanny wait too long. In name, she was still the family's female teacher.

You have already left a bad impression in front of others. It's too late to change your attitude. You will end up being known as someone who doesn't respect teachers.

It would be midsummer weather, and after dinner it would be the end of noon and the beginning of evening.

At noon, when the sun is shining high.

The mansion has started using ice. Bai's mother's yard doesn't get much ice, but as the daughter of the Jiang family, she still has some benefits.

If she didn't have to go to class, she would rather stay in a room with ice cubes, reading and practicing calligraphy in the breeze.

There were few servants in the yard. Most of them had finished their work and were lazing around in the yard.

Occasionally, a few figures hurried past, trying their best to avoid the scorching sun. Beads of sweat hung on their faces and their clothes were sticking to their bodies and soaking wet.

Bai's mother did not walk fast, and even with the maid holding an umbrella for her, she still broke out in sweat.

As soon as I walked into the yard, the smell of rotten leaves hit me in the face.

The main gate in the middle was always open, or rather, the dilapidated gate had not been repaired at all.

Looking inside through the door frame, there were big holes in the tile roof, and a few rays of summer sunshine shone through the holes and fell on the wooden floor.

The wooden board had been exposed to wind and sun and no longer looked its original state. I didn't know if it was soaked by the rain after the heavy rain in the past few days. Now that it was exposed to the sun, I could still smell the smell of rotten wood.

The water stains on the surface had evaporated without a trace after a morning of baking.

At this moment, the sunlight penetrates through the surface of the wooden floor into the rotten parts underneath, and you can faintly hear the "crackling" concerto of sunlight and rot.

Under the corridor at the main entrance, there was an armchair, on which the nanny leaned with her eyes closed.

On the wooden shelf next to it, there was a large copper basin with a square piece of ice in it.

It was the first time that Bai's mother discovered that the Jiang family's ice blocks could be so big.

On either side of the nanny, a maid held an umbrella to block out the little sunlight that was coming through the corridor.

Another maid held a round fan in her hand and blew the cold air from the ice cubes towards the person sitting on the armchair in small and regular movements.

When Bai's mother arrived at the yard, there were only the nanny and her group inside. The Jiang family's daughters had not arrived yet.

She had no choice but to bow in the yard under the scorching sun: "Mammy~"

At such a young age, she was not good at hiding her emotions, and her eyes were always fixed on the ice.

The nanny had been working in the palace for many years, so she naturally knew the emotions in the little girl's eyes.

There is envy, injustice, and even some confusion.

Seeing that the others had not arrived yet, the nanny started talking to Bai's mother in a rare good mood.

"Are you the daughter of the Jiang family? From the family of Lord Jiang An, the Junior Minister of the Honglu Temple?"

There were about ten daughters of the Jiang family attending the class this time, which was not a large number.

They were all introduced one by one during the meeting in the morning, so the nanny should have remembered them all.

I don’t know if this nanny deliberately mentioned her identity again, and what her meaning is.

Bai's mother had no choice but to bow politely again and answer: "Madam, it is my daughter!"

No one knew what the nanny was thinking of. Her eyes were mysterious and contained some emotions that Bai's mother at her age could not understand.

"He's just like your father!" the nanny said softly.

Bai's mother was a little confused. She had more than one feeling about her father.

When I was teaching myself to read, my father was very knowledgeable;

When I was with my mother, my father was so gentle;

Every time there was a family gathering, her father would always protect her and her mother. He was also a great...

She didn't know which one the nanny was talking about.
