Chapter 20
After Ms. Li said this to her young mistress, she could only nod her head with tears in her eyes. She had to lower her head under the eaves, missing her baby deep in her heart.
The young master is smart. When he was two years old, his enlightenment was no longer just about reading pictures and reading. Every day, a gentleman would come to teach him the Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Classic for two hours every morning.
In the afternoon, she would come to teach the young master how to stand and learn martial arts skills. The young mistress would not agree to see her son working so hard.
The idea of asking the husband to teach the young master was the idea of the eldest young master. As a father hopes that his son will become a successful child, the first child should put the value of all his love on himself and be ruthless enough to grind iron into a needle.
Li was illiterate, but while the young master was studying hard, he stood by and occasionally helped take care of him.
When the young master fell down in the afternoon, Mrs. Li did not go to help him. This was the eldest young master's wish. She did not dare to disobey. Occasionally, the young mistress would hint that she could let the young master be lazy when the eldest young master was not around.
Mrs. Li didn't approve of the young mistress' doting attitude, but she also didn't approve of the young master making the two-year-old child so miserable. The children in her family were miserable because they were poor.
The Tang family was so wealthy, so they didn't have to work so hard. They should have lived a comfortable and happy life with fine clothes and fine food.
However, Mrs. Li didn't cry when she saw the young master fell down. When he returned home at night, there were many bruises on his body, which made her feel distressed.
She would help the young master rub his feet to make his feet less painful. Li, who had never known how to read or write, was able to recognize a few words when her husband taught the young master.
This was the only time she could feel happy here, and the time soon came for her once-a-month vacation.
Regarding the young master's fever last time, Mrs. Li did not say anything about what she said during her vacation this time.
Ms. Li missed her baby in her heart, but she could only endure this longing. In the dead of night, she used this longing to make needlework and make clothes and shoes for the children.
That night, when the young master just went to bed, Mrs. Li stood by the bed and looked at the young master quietly, but what she was thinking about was her baby. It must be a busy farming period at home, right?
The baby at home must be suffering again. How can such a young child be able to handle the busy farm work?
Not being able to go back to help and make the children at home feel more relaxed is the biggest pain in her heart as a mother.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Li's eyes shed tears. She wiped her tears quietly, closed the door gently, and came to a small interconnected room where she slept.
She did not go to bed, but started sewing again. After harvesting the rice, the weather became colder and colder, so she wanted to make winter clothes and cotton shoes for the children.
The young master Tang Shunyan is over two years old. Today he can feel that the nanny Li is different from other times. You can also feel the sadness in the nanny's smile.
Tang Shunyan secretly pretended to be asleep. After the wet nurse returned to the room, he opened his eyes, quietly came to his side door, and secretly looked at the wet nurse's bed.
I saw Mrs. Li quietly weeping again, doing needlework in her hands, silent in sadness.
At a young age, Tang Shunyan didn't understand why Mrs. Li was crying, but she was very defensive and felt that someone must have bullied the wet nurse.
He couldn't help but ran in and said to Mrs. Li:
"Nanny, is someone bullying you into crying?"
When Mrs. Li heard Tang Shunyan's voice, she put down the needle and thread in her hands in fright and wiped her tears with her sleeves.
"Little Master, the nanny didn't cry, it was sand that got into her eyes."
"Nanny, don't lie to me, you are crying."
"Little Master, no one really bullies the nanny. It's the nanny who misses the baby."
"Is she the nanny's little sister? Is she the nanny? Why don't they go back to visit relatives?" Tang Shunyan sat in Mrs. Li's arms, enjoying the warmth of her arms.
"Nanny did something wrong and cannot go back to visit relatives this month. I hope I can go back to visit relatives next month."
"Nanny, have you done something wrong? No! Is it that my grandma and my mother won't let you go back? I will ask my grandma and mother tomorrow to let the wet nurse go back to visit relatives."
"Young Master, please don't do this, otherwise the wet nurse will do something wrong again." Mrs. Li thought it was a good thing that Tang Shunyan helped her speak for her, but if the eldest lady and the young mistress thought that she was stirring up trouble in front of the Young Master, then her
The sin is greater.
"Oh, okay! But next time the nanny goes back to visit her relatives, she must bring her with her." Xiao Tang was so young that he couldn't think of a solution for a while, but in his heart he really wanted to meet the young lady the nanny mentioned.
, little sister.
"The wet nurse cannot agree to postpone it. This matter must be agreed by the eldest grandma, the eldest madam, and the young master's elders."
Li didn't know how to read, but she understood one thing. She was a farmer's family, and a young master from a wealthy family could not easily go to her poor family unless there was a great favor.
…
Today was supposed to be the day for Mrs. Li to come home. The children at home were looking forward to it, but they could not see Mrs. Li coming back. They only saw a guard riding a horse and coming to their house with the next baggage in his hand.
"I am a member of the Li family, sent by the housekeeper of the Tang Dynasty. Mrs. Li cannot come back to visit her relatives today, so the housekeeper sent me to deliver things." The guard pulled the horse to the yard.
"Master, please take a seat here first."
Acer and his son, who were doing carpentry in the thatched house, stopped what they were doing and washed their hands to entertain the guests.
"Can you prepare some grass for my horse?" The guard cherished his horse very much.
"Okay, this horse should eat straw, right?"
Hongji went to the thatched house on the other side and took some of the straw that had been reserved for the cattle and took it out for the guarding horses to eat.
"Sir, what are you..." Lai heard the voice and came out of the room where she was staying. She looked at the baggage put down by the guard with bright eyes, wishing to open it quickly.
"Mom, hurry up, what are you opening the baggage for?" Ye Shuzhen was in the room at the window. When she saw the guard pulling a horse in, holding a baggage in his hand, she walked out happily.
"Mom, look what sister-in-law brought back?"
Ye Shuzhi also walked out of the room. Logically speaking, she was about to get married and could not see her foreign husband.
Seeing the tall and handsome face of the guard who pulled the horse in, she thought that her fiancé was short in stature. Although he was the son of a shop owner in the town, his shortcomings were his appearance and height.
"By the way, here is also Li's monthly money from last month. The eldest lady asked the housekeeper to bring it to me."
The guard took out another purse from his arms, put it on the table, and faced the family with their eyes fixed on him.
The unmarried man guarding him blushed unconsciously, and when he saw the eyes of the two girls from this family looking at him, he blushed even more with his heart beating.
Lai quickly grabbed the purse with one hand, weighed it in his hand, and put it into his arms with satisfaction.
"Guard brother, why hasn't my wife come back?" Acer is most concerned about the wife who has been waiting for a month but hasn't come back.
"Brother, I am just a guard of the Tang Mansion, so how do I know why Mrs. Li didn't come back? I only know that she is watching the young master and accompanying him every day."
