Who Cares

Zhao Chunxi was very ill. He even took a few doses of strong medicine to lower the high fever. He needed to lie in bed and rest for ten and a half days to regain his vitality. When Guan Suyi learned about the situation from the imperial physician Cheng, she secretly said "Yes" in her heart, but she was very distressed on her face and brought soup to visit every day. Now she has developed a new hobby, that is, silently admiring Zhao Chunxi's apparent resistance to hatred, but having to pretend to be grateful.

On this day, she put the stewed turtle soup in the food box, and she led Minglan to walk towards Penglai Garden. As for Ming Fang, she offered herself as early as the day after getting married, and went to take care of the seriously ill eldest lady. At the moment, she might be dreaming of being a concubine.

They talked while walking, walking slowly, not afraid that the soup would be cold, Zhao Chunxi never drink it anyway, only find an excuse to throw it aside, and pour it into the pail when they leave.

Minglan rubbed her nose and couldn't bear the smell of turtle soup. "Miss, why do you stew turtle soup every time? This smell is so strong that most people don't like to drink it."

Guan Suyi chuckled, "Wang Bagui and Sun Zheng should drink turtle soup. This is what ordinary people say to complement the shape. As long as the uncle comes to eat in the future, you have to teach this dish, remember?" It's fun to make up for a million-year-old bastard!

Ming Lan doesn’t know why the master hates her uncle so much. Although she smiles and speaks with a gentle tone, she has a big problem with her words. What kind of beasts, bastards, and turtle grandchildren are more inferior than the other, and they look alive. My uncle planed her ancestral grave in her last life.

Even though there were thousands of doubts in her mind, Ming Lan didn't dare to ask any more, but guarded the food box more carefully.

"Miss, you are here." As soon as the two of them stepped into Penglai Garden, Ming Fang hurriedly greeted him, raising the curtain and smiling, "Please come in, Miss Cai is still talking about you, asking the servant when you will come. Hou. Lord has just arrived, with a lot of snow particles on his body, and he is changing his clothes in the cubicle."

The door curtain made of shells and jade beads clashed for a while, and then a crimson shadow lotus moved lightly and stepped in, illuminating the dim inner room. Zhao Chunxi quickly sat up and yelled affectionately, "Mother, my daughter has been ill for a long time, and it really drags you down. Piaoxu, move the embroidered pier to the bed so that my mother can sit closer to me. Our mother and daughter held hands and talked personally."

Guan Suyi stroked the back of her hand without a trace, feeling that it was covered with goose bumps. Zhao Chunxi probably already knew that her dowry was sent to the main room by the old lady, so his attitude changed drastically. I remember that in the previous life, before taking back the dowry, she was so greeted, acted like a baby, and coaxed herself round and round. Thinking about it now, the age difference between the two is not that big, one is thirteen and the other is eighteen, which is only five years. Why is she thinking so deeply, but she sees the bottom?

This was probably followed by Ye Zhen, and Ye Fan was not bad, it really was the origin of family learning.

As soon as Guan Suyi sat down on the embroidered pier, Zhao Luli came in. Seeing Minglan carrying a bowl of turtle soup to feed her daughter, she hurriedly said, "I'm hungry too. Give me a bowl first." After taking a sip, he put it down and said, "It tastes very good, but it's a bit hot, wait for it to cool down and use it."

Will you drink it if it's cold? Guan Suyi smiled and promised, but his heart was clear. The father and daughter could not decide how to guard against her in their hearts. About the same in the previous life, but she was full of gratitude to the Hou Mansion at the time, and didn't think much about it. The **** drinks the **** soup, which matches well.

Zhao Luli felt that the newlywed wife’s smile was a little weird, but he couldn't tell for a while, so he quickly put it aside. Before he is sure that the other party is harmless, he will not let his children get too close to her. The three of them gave a false impression, and when the snow stopped outside, they each breathed a sigh of relief.

Stepping out of Penglai Garden, making sure that there is no one around, Ming Lan complained, "Look at Master Hou being so polite, you really don’t treat you as your own person. And Miss Zhao, on the surface, looks very appropriate and affectionate. The words are also beautiful, dripping without leaking, but the servants and maidservants pondered in private, and always felt something was wrong."

Guan Suyi brushed off the goose bumps on the back of his hand, and smiled without saying a word. When the two walked to a warm pavilion, they saw a handsome boy in a mink fur coat running up and down, seeing the master and servant, his eyes widened immediately, "Are you Guan? I hid on the day of the happy room. I secretly saw you under the window."

Guan Suyi was about to answer, he spontaneously rushed over, put one arm around her and shook her, "My sister is sick, and dad wants to accompany her, no one is playing with me. Walk around and skating with me."

"Are you Zhao Wangshu? If I remember correctly, you should be in clan school at this hour?" Guan Suyi bent over to look at him with a joke on his face.

Now that Confucianism is prevalent, the emperor released a message a few days ago that he wanted to use the imperial examination to select officials. This was the first step to break the monopoly of aristocratic families and the first step to abolish the nine-grade Zhongzheng system. Although the aristocratic giants had many obstructions, but they had lost too much of their heritage in the flames of war, and they were unable to resist the new emperor. However, there were so many inferior scholars in the world that they gave their full support to them. Therefore, within three years, the system of selecting officials for imperial examinations Will become the most important way to become an official. Although Zhao Luli is a living king, but at any rate he has some insights, so he established ethics on the day the decree came out, and hired a Hongru as a master for his son, hoping that one day he would be able to rely on him to pursue official careers.

But Zhao Wangshu didn't appreciate it, and tried his best to play truant and be lazy. He is ten years old this year, at the age when he loves to play and hates dogs. He drags his stepmother into the frozen lotus pond, "I'm leaving school early. Go away, in the snowdrift over there." Buried the sled board made by Zhao Erbao for me, it's fun!"

Guan Suyi was staggered, and finally stood up and said, "You go to the clan school with me first, if you really leave school, I will take you to play. But if you lie to me, I will tell your father."

"I said going to school is going to school, why are you so confessed?" Zhao Wangshu was a little angry, and stamped his foot. Pan Gao Zhier, you should be obedient and humble everywhere. How can you screw with this young master? Will you accompany this young master to play, give me a word!"

"No company. Go, I'll take you back to school." Guan Suyi stepped forward to pull Zhao Wangshu away, but he broke away in twos or twos, and ran ten meters away, yelling angrily, "Well, you are the Guan family. It’s up to me to take care of the young master! I don’t want you to be my mother, so Daddy will give you up! And your grandfather and your father’s officials don’t even think about being an official. This is the fate of offending this young master!" He stomped his feet and ran away quickly, even if he wanted to come, he was afraid of being taught by the Hui.

Guan Suyi stared at his distant back with an unpredictable expression. In the last life, she had a headache for the stubborn stepson and spent countless energy to teach and persuade. Because her grandfather devoted her whole life to teaching and educating people, she was exposed to some means, and slowly brought her stepson into righteousness, and brought them up very well. Unexpectedly, he not only didn't know how to be grateful, but also falsely accused his stepmother of having an affair with a foreign boy, and forcibly erased the last trace of her warmth towards the Hou Mansion.

Once again, where did Guan Suyi have the leisure to teach this bear kid, just watching him grow and become crooked, and finally he was ruined in Ye Fan's hands. The snowflakes that had just disappeared began to fall again and again. She took a piece of it, covered it in her palm, and whispered, "Go back."

Minglan followed tremblingly, and asked in a low voice, "Miss, would you like to chase the young master back and play with him on the sled? Lord..."

Before the little girl finished speaking, Guan Suyi laughed out loud, "Who told you that the Guan family depends on the Hou Mansion?"

"But everyone said that." Ming Lan whispered.

"It seems that this rumor has spread throughout Zhenbeihoufu?" Guan Suyi smiled, with a cold expression, "If you change to a woman with short-sightedness and ignorance, chances are you will be fooled by this rumor, and then I am grateful to the Hou Mansion and fearful. I don’t know what the people behind this rumors think of Guan Suyi, a fool? With Zhao Luli’s futility, he can find a super-first-grade official. He thinks he can fly? "

"Miss, isn't the official position of the master and grandfather requested by the master?" Minglan couldn't believe that the Guan family, who came from a poor family, would be valued by the emperor, after all, there were so many noble families in Yanjing.

Guan Suyi denied it categorically and didn't explain it anymore, because Minglan didn't understand it at all. But this is not to blame her, the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng system has been popular for hundreds of years, and only the disciples of the noble family can hold high positions, and even if they are talented, they can't find the level of advancement. There is no such thing as an example of the sudden wealth of the Guan family. It is like a mythical story in the ears of ordinary people. If this story is related to Zhenbeihou, it will become credible. Without the help of Zhenbeihou, how can it be related to the family today? This is roughly the consensus of ordinary people.

However, behind the appearance, who would have thought that this is a magnificent emperor paving the way for his eternal world? Not to mention the common people trapped in the world, even many gentry, I am afraid that they would not have thought of that far-reaching. Thinking of someone sitting on the dragon chair, Guan Suyi couldn't tell whether he admired more or resented more. After all, the tragedies of her two lifetimes were inseparable from him.

But he was too far away from her, as far as the sky, so she could only look up, not resentment.

-----

Guan Suyi did not trace the source, nor did he kill the chickens and curse the monkeys or suppress the rumors. Only on the next day, when Zhao Luli returned to Ning with her and attended a family dinner, he suddenly raised a glass of wine to invite. It was Master Hou who asked for it, and the concubine is grateful for it. Both of them first entered officialdom, and they didn't understand everything, so I trouble Master Hou to take care of them. This cup of concubine drinks first, and Master Hou is free."

Zhao Luli, who was still smiling, became stiff in an instant, and didn't know how to respond to these words.

Father Guan and Father Guan looked at him together, their eyes full of scrutiny. They are so good at teaching Guan Suyi, they are naturally not short-sighted, they have long understood the emperor's intention to reuse the Guan family, and they know how to deal with themselves in the future. This official position is not requested by anyone, it is based solely on their true talents. But Zhao Mansion has spread such rumors, isn't it the granddaughter (daughter), and even the face of Guan's family, being trampled on the ground?

The father and son Guan, who had a good impression of Zhao Luli, who was well-mannered and handsome, now showed a little contempt.

Zhao Luli looked at his newlyweds, and then at the others, slowly gathering his knuckles, almost crushing the wine glass. Where does he have the ability to seek the position of Emperor Shi and Jiuqing for Guan's family? If this word reaches Huo Shengzhe, how can he laugh at his boasting and ridiculous? Especially the father and son of the Guan family are now close ministers of the emperor, it is very possible to say a few words before him. That scene was equivalent to abruptly pulling his face off and stepping on it, which was painful.

Zhao Luli couldn't respond to Guan Suyi's toast, and he wished to escape into the ground and return to the Hou Mansion, strangling all the rumors to death. He was embarrassed enough, and Huo Shengzhe must not be allowed to see him even more embarrassing.
