After the eunuch Sun left, my father came to ask her what she had said to Mr. Sun.

"Speak ill of that Governor Wu." Yuan Zhao said magnanimously, "Even if His Majesty doesn't punish him this time, everyone in the capital will know about my quarrel with Wu, and people with ulterior motives will take action in order to put the blame on me.

What about him?"

Just in time to achieve her purpose of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

As we all know, the people of the Beiyue clan now live with their tail between their legs. As long as the family remains humble and low-key, so that His Majesty the uncle cannot catch anything, the court will still rely on the father's ability to lead the army, and will never be slandered or framed.

"By then, the Wu family's injuries and deaths will be in vain. I don't have to do it myself. I won't have to be a coward in front of the Wu family when I return to Beijing. Wouldn't I be happy?" Yuan Zhao said what was in his heart.

think.

As a minister, it is etiquette and right to respect the princess and princes.

It would be too humiliating and unbearable for her to grovel before the henchmen.

"Thinking you know something when you don't know it is the root of all disasters." Marquis Dingyuan glanced at his daughter and took a sip of tea. "Underestimating the enemy is a taboo for military officers. If you are revengeful, you are most likely to be invited into the urn."

"How does Dad know that I underestimate the enemy?" Yuan Zhao refused to accept and argued, "Adults are cautious, but I am a child. It is common sense to seek reinforcements if I cannot win. Dad is as straight as surrender, and I am as cunning as clumsy. Tian family is the best.

It’s a pleasure.”

After a country like Beiyue is subjugated, it is most taboo to have a reputation as a virtuous person.

Dad has surrendered to reality. If his heir is stupid, it will be too late for others to be happy.

"Mr. Wu, do you usually teach you this?" It was beyond the scope of this, Dingyuan Hou looked solemn.

"Sir, you don't stick to trivial matters. Whatever your heart desires, you will teach him everything you have." Yuan Zhao never concealed things from his father about the things around him.

She was a woman and could not study privately, so her father invited a Confucian scholar who was frustrated with his future to come to the house to teach her knowledge. This man's surname was Wu and his given name was Fu. Seeing that she had become enlightened and had a good memory, he taught her some obscure things.

classic reading.

Mr. Wu was a wonderful man. He knew that his student was a woman and had no hope of success in the future, so he simply taught him whatever he thought of.

This went on for more than two years.

"Zhao'er, you are a girl. When you get older, you will have to discuss marriage. In a few days, Ji Wu will ask an embroiderer to come back and teach you how to be a female embroiderer. Dad and your third brother will handle the rest, so don't worry about it.

Already." Dingyuanhou refused to argue with her.

"Ah? Schoolgirl Hong?" Yuan Zhao was unhappy when he heard this, with a look of disgust on his face, "I'm busy enough during the day."

The first is Mr. Wu’s class. She has to recite nearly a hundred sentences fluently every day and copy them ten times, including comments and the meaning she understands. In addition, the handwriting must be beautiful. If the writing is not good, the teacher will check it and then punish it.

Twenty times.

Combined with today's teaching load, most children can't stand it, so Ayu, who used to serve her, sympathizes with her. Even now, she still finds time to practice and play with the guessing toys given by her mother.

How can I have extra time to learn about female beauty?!

"Then you have to learn!" Dingyuanhou decided not to spoil her anymore, "You are a woman and you were born in the Beiyue family, so you may not marry well. If you marry into an ordinary family, you have to do everything yourself. You don't want to learn now

, who will do it for you in the future?"

Considering the size of the Feng family's descendants, my daughter's future is not optimistic.

Well, there is some truth to what Dad said, it’s nerve-wracking.

Yuan Zhao frowned, thought deeply, and finally decided: "Dad, I won't get married in the future, why don't I just marry someone back?" The problem couldn't be solved without her, and if it was, it must have been something we haven't thought of yet.

Phew, Dingyuanhou sprays tea.

This damn woman kept uttering arrogant words and almost choked her father to death.

It's also his fault for being negligent. He has been raising her as a son for many years. He has taught her to be so frivolous. She is unworthy of her future in-laws!

If she can get married...

Regardless of Yuan Zhao's strong protests, Dad returned to the camp at dawn the next day.

After listening to Mr. Wu's class in the morning, she took a short break at lunch, and then, under Uncle Ji's watchful eye, she became a disciple of a thin Taoist priest who looked like a charlatan.

"The Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao; the name can be named, but it is not named..."

In the courtyard, the autumn breeze was blowing. Under the majestic evergreen pine trees, a girl sat cross-legged, with her elbows propped up in front of the low desk, her chin propped up, and she looked listlessly at Taoist Priest Gongzhi, shaking his head and chanting a mantra, ah no,

Lecture.

Her brows were furrowed, as if she could kill a fly.

Even if she doesn't like it, she still has to listen to it patiently, lest her father scold her again for not being steady enough. It's similar to Mr. Wu's class. The master reads it once, she reads it after her, memorizes it, recites it, and copies it five times before the class is over.

.

With Mr. Wu in front of him, Yuan Zhao knew that this was a kind of temptation.

Once her ability to accept it is tested, the hard days have just begun.

…

In the blink of an eye, the day came when Ayu and her husband returned to Ning. Ji Wu was her adoptive father, and he and the princess received her at the mansion.

In recent days, news came from the patrol camp on the Nanzhou border that civil strife broke out in Yanshu, which may spread to Nanzhou.

The captain of the patrol camp is Yuan Zhao's third brother Li. There are many tribes in Yan and Shu, and the terrain at the border with Nanzhou is steep and complicated. Dingyuan Hou is afraid of emergencies, so he has been living in the camp these days to handle military affairs and wait at any time.

information.

Yuan Zhao knew nothing about all this. At this time, she was meeting Ayu's family.

Three days after their wedding, Ayu, although shy and timid, was as cheerful as her husband-in-law, which made people happy for her. Ayu's old mother, who accompanied the young couple, first kowtowed to the princess, and then to Uncle Ji, who had recognized their sworn brother.

Kowtow and salute.

Although Yuan Zhao was young, he still had to have thorough etiquette. He rewarded Ayu with a dignity and ended the relationship between master and servant.

The so-called breakup does not need to be said directly to the other party. Dad has said that Ayu does not need to serve in the general's mansion anymore. Besides, Uncle Ji gave Ayu a dowry and gave her instructions to build a larger shop in the city.

A shop is opened in the front, and people live in the backyard, including Ayu's mother.

In the future, the young couple will be able to support their family by doing some business, and they will no longer have to be servants to the nobles.

Ayu was full of happy longings for her future life. She was familiar with the princess, so while her mother, husband-in-law and adoptive father were chatting, she quietly inquired about his injuries. When she learned that there was no problem, she put down her worries.

She knew that if she said goodbye today, it would be difficult for her to see the princess again in the future.

Reluctantly, she took out a simple small dark gray cloth bag from her arms, with an unusually reserved expression, and handed it to Yuan Zhao with a little uneasiness:

"Princess, Ayu's family is poor. Fortunately, the General's Mansion took in my mother and daughter so that we are here today. I have no intention of repaying it. I only found a piece of jade and found someone to carve it into a jade ring and gave it to the princess. I hope the princess will find a good man in the future.

Let’s spend this life together with love and beauty.”

When I get what I want, I also pray for my benefactor to live a happy and prosperous life.

"Okay, thank you." Yuan Zhao pretended to be a princess, took it with a smile, and told her, "Women should strengthen themselves. If your husband-in-law dares to bully you mother and daughter in the future, he must tell me..."

Her words frightened the nervous man next to him so much that he quickly handed over his hands and confessed:

"I don't dare, I don't dare..."

It was the first time I entered the house to meet a distinguished person. I didn't understand the etiquette and seemed at a loss. When Ayu and his wife saw him, they both covered their mouths and chuckled.

"Don't dare to be the best," Yuan Zhao glanced at him, his expression became slightly serious, "The relationship between husband and wife is that if there is righteousness, they will get together, and if there is no righteousness, they will separate. If you dare to hurt her at all, even if the princess is not in Nanzhou, you will

I can cure you!"

"Yes, the people obey the order."

"Princess, Niu Ping is an honest man, don't scare him." Uncle Ji sympathized with the young man and was willing to help him out, "Niu Ping, the general and the princess cannot stay here forever, and there is no guarantee that something will happen in the future.

I can help you, but you two need to stay on track when doing business and don't get into trouble, do you understand?"

With these words, he reminded the three of them not to bully others because the master's family would not take the blame for them. At the same time, he also told the young couple that when encountering difficulties in the future, they should not shout loudly about their relationship with the general's mansion, otherwise they would be killed.

Asking Ayu to recognize him as his adoptive father was just to frighten his husband's family, and it wouldn't be of much help.

If you are afraid of causing trouble, you can terminate this relationship.

As Uncle Ji said, Niu Ping was an honest and honest man. In addition to being grateful, he promised to treat Ayu and his daughter well, and did not mind that his wife recognized this family relationship.

The host and guest will never see each other again.
