Chapter 8 Teaching

The late autumn morning was already a little chill, but the quilt was very warm, and Tang Shuyi was sleeping soundly wrapped in the quilt. But Cui Yun's call came to her ears, "Madam, it's time to get up, the two concubines are here to pay their respects."

Tang Shuyi's mind was even more confused when she woke up. Aunt? What kind of Aunt?

After grabbing her hair, she carefully searched for information in her brain, and then she learned that the deceased Hou Xiao Huai of Yongning had two concubines, both of whom were taken on the frontier. However, neither of the two concubines had children. Later, Xiao Huai died in battle and they were sent back.

"When is it?" Tang Shuyi asked.

Cuiyun outside replied softly: "It's time for Mao."

Tang Shuyi changed the time and knew that it was six o'clock, so she got up and got out of bed. Then several little maids came in, all serving her to get up early. Tang Shuyi was stunned for a moment and realized again deeply that she was now a wealthy lady.

When I entered the clean room, a little maid handed her a toothbrush dipped in tooth powder. I used to think that people in ancient times did not brush their teeth, but just rinsed their mouths with salt water. Now I know that my previous knowledge was narrow.

There were toothbrushes in ancient times. Just like the toothbrush she holds now, it was made of good sandalwood as a handle, and holes were drilled on it and tied animal hair. Tooth powder was also made of precious Chinese herbal medicines.

Yes, it tastes pretty good.

After washing up and going back to the bedroom, two beautiful ladies bowed to her. These are the two concubines.

"Get up." Tang Shuyi said as she sat in front of the dressing table. The two aunts immediately walked to her and wanted to serve her to comb her hair and make up. She quickly waved her hand, "Let the maid come."

The two aunts stood beside each other respectfully, Tang Shuyi smiled and chatted with them about family matters, such as what they did every day, and then said, "I have nothing to do here, you can go back, and you don't have to come to pay your respects every day in the future."

The two aunts were a little frightened when they heard her words. One said it was right to pay your respects to you, and the other said that the rules should not be abolished. After hearing what they said, Tang Shuyi looked at them sideways and said seriously: "I really don't need you to pay your respects, I'm not polite to you."

These words made both of them feel at a loss. Tang Shuyi said again, with a gentle tone, "Don't think too much, I just don't want to be bothered."

Seeing that she was not fake, the two concubines bowed and turned around and left. Tang Shuyi continued to ask the maid to comb her hair and make-up. She didn't disgust the two concubines. After all, she had never seen her devil husband before, so naturally she had no feelings for him and had no opinion on his concubine.

But Xiao Yuchen's affairs were put on hold in her heart, and she had no time to deal with others now.

After putting on makeup and combed her hair, Cuizhu asked what clothes to wear today. Tang Shuyi looked at the clothes in a cabinet, which were too luxurious but lacked style. She casually pointed to a set of bamboo green and golden clothes and said, "Just this, go back and ask the tailor to come over and make a few more sets."

Cuizhu should help her dress with her hands. Tang Shuyi asked: "Have you found out about Xue Ji's situation?"

Cuizhu helped her tie her belt and said, "The old man from the third vassal of Wuyang Bo Mansion was a illegitimate child, and he was separated when the family was separated. The old man from the third vassal gave birth to four sons, two legitimate and two illegitimate child. Xue Ji is the son of the fourth vassal of the fourth vassal of the vassal of the vassal of the vassal of the vassal of the vassal of the vassal of the vassal of the vassal of the vassal of the vassal of the vassal of the vassal of the vassal of the vassal of the vassal of the vassal of the vassal of the vassal of the vassal of the vassal of the vassal of the vassal of the

Tang Shuyi: "......"

Well, he is a commoner.

"But counting that Xue Ji and Wuyang Bo Mansion have not yet given their fifth squads, they are still considered to be people from Wuyang Bo Mansion." Cui Zhu said again: "I heard that Xue Ji's concubine is very favored, and he himself is a good at scheming. Although he is not as good as a martial arts master, he has to work hard to do so, but he has been in charge of the Atonement Department of the Ministry of Justice and a seventh-rank official.

The wife he married was the concubine of the brother-in-law Zhang, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice. He currently has one son and one daughter, all of whom were born by the wife of the official wife. His son was ten years old and his daughter was eight years old, and they all studied in the clan school of Wuyang Bo Mansion.”

"Does this Xue Ji have any bad habits?" Tang Shuyi asked.

Cui Yun thought for a while and said, "Apart from Ai Zangying, I haven't heard anything else."

Tang Shuyi nodded, "Have you sent someone to invite me?"

"I'll go early in the morning." Cui Yun replied.

"Go and let the eldest son leave the ancestral hall. You can't kneel in the ancestral hall when the guests come." Although Tang Shuyi said that, he felt that it was too short to let Xiao Yuchen kneel, so why would Xue Ji leave and let him kneel?

Cuiyun responded, turned around and asked the little maid to go to the ancestral hall to send a message. They were all cleaned up, and as soon as the breakfast was put on, three naughty children came over. Xiao Yuming and Xiao Yuzhu were mixed, and Xiao Yuchen limped and looked depressed.

When they saw her, the three of them greeted her:

Xiao Yuzhu: "Mom~"

Xiao Yuming: "Mom."

Xiao Yuchen: "Mother."

Tang Shuyi raised her eyebrows, and the personalities of the three children can be seen from the name.

"Sit down and have a meal." Tang Shuyi took the lead in sitting down, and the three children also sat at the dining table. She didn't want to follow the rules of not eating or sleeping, and chatted with the three naughty children while eating.

Although the three of them had many problems, Tang Shuyi did not scold them verbally, nor did she explain the big reason to them. She just said that family matters are closer. The most important thing now is Xiao Yuchen’s affairs, two small problems, and we will talk about them when the current matter is over.

After breakfast, Xiao Yuzhu and Xiao Yuming went to the school. Tang Shuyi and Xiao Yuchen moved to the front yard to prepare to meet Xue Ji. On the way, Tang Shuyi talked about Xue Ji's situation to Xiao Yuchen.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuchen had a puzzled look on his face. He didn't understand why Tang Shuyi asked Xue Ji so clearly. He was a relative, right?

Tang Shuyi saw the expression on his face and asked, "Do you know who Xue Ji is before saving Liu Biqin?"

Xiao Yuchen shook his head, "There are so many people in my uncle's family, and no one can know them."

"Why did a relative whom he didn't know take the initiative to approach you and help you do things?" Tang Shuyi asked.

Xiao Yuchen thought for a while, "Because of my identity, it will be beneficial for him to get in touch with me."

Tang Shuyi gave him a look of agreement and said, "You are the son of the Prince of Yongning and the grandson of the Duke of Tang's Mansion. Even if you do not make things convenient for him, as long as you two get close, others will look up to him, and it will be more convenient for him to do things."

Seeing Xiao Yuchen nodding clearly, Tang Shuyi said again: "You used him to save Liu Biqin, and he used you to raise your identity. There is a pure interest relationship between you, don't talk about relatives or not."

This made Xiao Yuchen seem to understand but Tang Shuyi explained to him, "Some people talk about love, while others talk about profit. It is best not to talk too much about benefit when talking to people who talk about love.

For example, you, me, you, your younger brothers and sisters, we are talking about love and the affection of your closest relatives. You and Xue Ji are talking about profit. If he is not profitable in you, will he help you?"

This time Xiao Yuchen understood, and he said, "You have asked Xue Ji so clearly, do you need to know yourself and your enemy?"

Tang Shuyi nodded, "We need to know if he has any fatal shortcomings, such as gambling, lust, greed for money, etc. These shortcomings are easily caught and threatened. Fortunately, Xue Ji has no particularly fatal shortcomings except for his love of engaging in the camp."

After hearing these words, Xiao Yuchen stopped to look at Tang Shuyi, with doubts and a little admiration. Tang Shuyi also stopped and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Xiao Yuchen pursed his lower lip, "You haven't told me this before..." I don't know you know so much.

Tang Shuyi glanced at him with a look of disgust, "I didn't know you were so... unreasonable."

Tang Shuyi really wanted to say that I didn’t know you were so stupid before. But don’t attack your child too much.

Xiao Yuchen was speechless. He now had an extra teacher and a missing mother.

The mother and son went to the front yard as they talked. Tang Shuyi said to go to the study room first, and when Xue Ji arrived, they would go to the small hall to see him. After hearing this, Xiao Yuchen said, "Do you want to make a fuss?"

Tang Shuyi: "..." I look like a person who likes to show off?

Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, she said, "We want to let him know that the initiative in things is in our hands."

Xiao Yuchen didn't understand, and Tang Shuyi didn't explain it to him. After experiencing such things for a lot, he naturally understood it.

After a while, Changming came to report that Xue Ji was coming. Tang Shuyi did not ask someone to wait and took Xiao Yuchen to the small hall.
