Chapter 16

On the way back to Wotang Residence, Hong Xiu was a little puzzled: "Girl, are you going to Zhanglu Academy?"

"Yes. Only by going to the crowd can you learn more." Yun Zhuo replied.

"But didn't Zhanglu Academy only start recruiting students in March? Why is the eldest son telling you this now?"

Yun Zhuo smiled: "It's the same if you talk in the morning and in the evening."

In fact, she could understand his thoughts a little bit, the Yun family would belong to him in the future, and her sacrifice for the Yun family in the future was actually tantamount to sacrificing for him.He believed that she had no way to fight against fate, so he felt guilty and couldn't bear it.

On the basis of such emotions, he always wanted to make up for her, but he didn't know how to make up for it. After all, what he could give, Yunhuan had already given her.So now that she heard that she was going to Zhanglu Academy, I naturally wanted to tell her everything I knew.

But from the beginning to the end, he never thought about whether she would admit that it was her fate.

Hongxiu bulged his mouth and stopped talking.

She found that after her daughter fell into the water and woke up, she would always say something she couldn't understand.

"I'll discuss it with you." The two were walking when Yun Zhuo suddenly turned around and looked at Hong Xiu.

Hongxiu opened her mouth, and was about to ask what was the matter when you said that, when she heard Yun Zhuo frown and said, "I'm wearing thick clothes today, and I'm also holding an umbrella from the yard of the Shuangjian Pavilion to the corridor. If it’s not raining at all, you don’t need to drink ginger soup, right?”

Although she has developed a pampered temperament in the past two years, and she is also an indisputable fourth girl in the mansion, but things like drinking ginger soup, she really can't resist Hongxiu's stubborn temper.

Hongxiu shook her head, and persuaded her earnestly: "Your body is inherently weak, and the servants in the mansion usually serve you by your side, so I am afraid that you will bump into something, but last time the servants were lured away, so this You were so tired that you fell into the water. It was raining today, and you wanted to go out. Although the maid felt that it was inappropriate, she was afraid of delaying your business, but since you came back, you should drink a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold, or if you If you don’t want to drink it, the maidservant instructs the woman in the kitchen to cook a few dishes mixed with shredded ginger and bring them over.”

Yun Zhuo sighed, she knew it was like this, waved her hand and said: "Okay, I will drink and I will drink."

"By the way," she suddenly remembered something, and said, "Let's go to Miaohua Temple in two days. It's almost my mother's birthday. I want to go to Miaohua Temple to ask for a longevity talisman for my mother."

"Okay." Hongxiu didn't ask why it took two days to go, she only knew what her girl did, and she had her considerations and reasons.

……

"I heard that you are going to let her go to Zhanglu Academy. How can you rest assured of a place like that?"

In the spacious and deep courtyard, there is a warm yellow candle glow shining from Judong’s house. Two figures in the house are reflected on the window paper, overlapping with the shadows of the plum branches outside the courtyard, and a crescent moon hangs in the sky. The night wind blew gently, and the flower shadows on the window paper shook.

The person in the room is Wen Baiping who is unloading the hairpin facing the mirror, and standing behind her is Yunhuan.

The two were young couples. Wen Baiping was born in the Wen family in Xizhou, and Yun Huan was from the Qingheyun family. Between them, there were conflicts of family interests and the bonds of family affection for their children, but there was no love.

Fortunately, Wen Baiping didn't need Yunhuan's love either. Ever since she knew that she was going to marry Yun's second son, she knew the meaning of her marriage.She and Yunhuan are not husband and wife, but partners at best.

This is very good, without the cooperation of love, it can last for a long time.

It is precisely because of this that she was able to accept Yun Zhuo's appearance so quickly.

Yun Huan looked at his wife's face reflected in the bronze mirror, and replied: "I didn't say it, it was her idea. But I think, since she is a member of the Yun family, she should go to a higher place anyway. What's more, she is determined, if I stop her, I'm afraid it will backfire."

Wen shi sighed, and said: "I have never understood why you are so strict with her. You once said that the daughter of the Yun family will not enter the palace, so you want to marry her into the family? But even if she She is beautiful and talented, but she is only a concubine after all, which aristocratic family would want a mistress who was born as a concubine? And if it wasn't the mistress, why would she need her to learn poetry, etiquette, piano, riding and shooting?"

Yunhuan lowered his eyes and did not answer, but said: "It's getting late, you should rest early."

After speaking, he paced out of the room.

Wen's was silent, and called Qingchan, the maid who was waiting outside the door, and asked her to go to Wotang Residence to invite Yun Zhuo over.

When Qingchan came to Wotang residence, Yun Zhuo was drinking ginger soup and was going to take off her clothes and go to bed. Hearing that her aunt wanted to see her, she put on silk shoes, got up and went out again.

Hongxiu and Qingchan followed behind her, one on the left and one on the right, the three master and servant went to the main courtyard in silence, and when they reached the side room, the two stopped in their tracks, while Yun Zhuo pushed the door and went in.

At this time, Wen Shi had already changed into a moon-white coat, and was still sitting in front of the Linghua bronze mirror, combing her long hair with a wooden comb.Although it has been over forty years, her long hair still has a smooth luster due to proper maintenance.

Although the mistress of the house who had shed her brocade clothes still had the dignified dignity cultivated in a powerful family, when she looked over with a gentle face, Yun Zhuo still couldn't help treating her as an ordinary woman.

"I heard from the master that it was you who offered to go to Zhanglu Academy?"

"Mother thinks there's something wrong with it?" Yun Zhuo didn't answer and asked, which was considered a tacit consent.

She has always felt that people from these aristocratic families, whether it is Wen's or her father, or some people she came into contact with in her previous life, all have a common problem, that is, they are too pretentious.For example, today's matter, in fact, my aunt already knew about it from my father, but I still have to ask her, and I don't know why.

"It's nothing, I just want to know if it's your own idea." Wen's hands kept combing her long hair, "In the past two years, the master hired a famous teacher for you. I never said anything, because I I think it's good for a girl's family to have some extraordinary abilities. But I don't want you to compete with those girls from aristocratic families just to fight for the reputation of a talented girl."

"You don't have to live so tiringly. Above you, there are three older brothers. Everything should be borne by them. You can live the life you really want, instead of wasting your time for the Yun family."

She once had a daughter too, and at that time she thought that her daughter should be the happiest little girl in the capital, and she didn't want her to sacrifice her marriage for the sake of her family, she wanted her to love others frankly, instead of acting like her for a lifetime The bird in the cage, the flower in the vase.

But later, her daughter died at the hands of the bandits.

Later, Yun Zhuo came.
