Chapter 504: This Palace is Enough
Finally, Hua Youmei was persuaded. After all, you couldn't hide a piece of meat in your belly, so she quietly ran to the old lady to discuss it.
I didn't dare to say that I had done something wrong, so I first took two poems that I thought were the best in literary talent, and said, "Mom, look, I got this by accident."
The old lady Li was a literate person. After taking a look at it, she thought the words were gorgeous and praised, "Not bad, you wrote it?"
Hua Youmei secretly rejoiced, "It was written by a friend I know. Mom, let me show it to my dad. My dad has always loved me, and maybe it will catch his eye."
Li didn't think so. Although she had no talent, she had some appreciation, but the two poems were too rich in gorgeous words and were definitely not the type that her old man liked.
Looking at her daughter with a look of helplessness, she suspected that she had taken the trouble to write it herself but refused to tell the truth, so she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let your dad read and comment later."
"That's great, thank you, Mom!" She went back happily.
Taishi Hua read the two poems and threw them away, "Where did you get them?"
Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Your daughter brought it. It was probably written by the child himself. He was afraid of losing face, so he asked someone else's name to give you a review."
Taishi Hua took it back and took a look at it again, "This child has not liked reading since she was a child. I don't force her to be a girl. It's okay to write such poems, but... can't you see the meaning in this poem?
meaning?"
Li glanced at him and said, "Master, please don't forget, our daughter is in the beginning of her love life, so it is understandable for young girl Sichun to write this."
Taishi Hua was not a mean person, and since he was his daughter, he was a little more tolerant and said: "This kind of boudoir rhetoric is not elegant after all. It is more serious to ask her to write less about this in the future and learn more about housekeeping from you."
.”
After learning what her father said, Hua Youmei was very shocked. Seeing her daughter's face change, Mrs. Li quickly comforted her and said, "Don't be sad, your father has such a temper that he is strict with everyone. It's good for a boudoir daughter to write like this.
We don’t need to take the scientific examination to become an official in the court, it’s enough to cultivate our children’s sentiments!”
Hua Youmei's face turned pale, "Did my father really say that this poem has no merit? From my daughter's perspective, the person who wrote this kind of poem must be a talented person. He also said that my father loves talents. He must not have read it carefully."
Mrs. Li knew that she was arrogant, and sighed: "Your father has read it twice, and his tone can only be said to be smooth and concise. When I said you wrote it, he praised it, and then said you
You should stop writing these things after you get married, and you should learn more about housekeeping from me."
The more Hua Youmei listened, the angrier she became. Thinking of the abnormality in her body, she was so frustrated that she cried, "Mom, I can't live anymore!"
He threw himself into Mrs. Li's arms, startling her, "What happened to my son?"
Hua Youmei choked with tears and refused to speak. Pinju knew something was wrong and immediately knelt down, "Please, old lady, keep away the outsiders. I have something to say."
The reaction of the master and the servant was wrong. Mrs. Li felt frightened and took the person to the inner room to drink him away. Then he began to interrogate him carefully.
Hua Youmei cried and refused to say anything, so Pinju had no choice but to risk her life. She was the young lady's personal maid, and any mistake made by the young lady would be her responsibility.
Of course, there are also things to pay attention to when telling the whole story. The general idea is that the young lady is beautiful and has a noble status. Many well-known young men are very fond of the young lady, but the young lady has always been self-restrained and never ignores her easily.
"This servant is just apologizing for the young lady. No one can marry a rich and noble girl like the young lady. Why do you choose a poor student? If you really want to marry the man, he has no fame and honor. Do you want the young lady to suffer along with you?" Pinju looked loyal.
attitude.
Mrs. Li knew that her daughter had always been brooding over her, but the marriage had been scheduled for several years. It was too late to complain now, so she immediately scolded her, "Shut up, it must have been you, a cheap maid, who encouraged my son to complain."
Seeing that her mother was about to get angry, Hua Youmei hurriedly hugged her, "Mom! It's not Pinju's fault, it's my daughter's unwillingness. I'm resentful that anyone who is not as good as my daughter can marry into a good family. Huang Shilang's daughter is ordinary and beautiful.
Although she has no literary talent, she can enter the palace and become a concubine, but my daughter can only marry a scholar from a poor family. Now she is not as good as me in everything, but after marrying, our status will be very different, and my daughter will not accept it."
Mrs. Li also felt sad when she heard this, "My son has suffered a lot for you, but your father is an upright man. He decided to marry Mr. Dong only after being on good terms with him. It's hard for my mother to say much about it. Fortunately, Mr. Dong is good-looking and knowledgeable.
Okay, your father said that he will definitely come out on top after he performs his duties as a filial piety, so why should you be anxious?"
"Hmph! So what if he wins the first prize? He will be a seventh-grade official at most. How many years will it take for my daughter to get married before she can succeed!" Hua Youmei was unwilling to accept it.
Mrs. Li didn't like hearing this anymore, frowned and said, "Don't say this again in the future. Your father was in a similar situation to him at the beginning, but now he is a first-grade Grand Master of the current dynasty."
"My father is capable, how can he compare with my father?" Hua Youmei said with disdain on her face.
Mrs. Li secretly sighed that her daughter's words were true. Her husband-in-law was talented and visionary, which was why he had such an opportunity.
"My son, please stop making trouble. Your father has made up his mind and mother can't dissuade him. Don't covet the daughter of the Huang family. Even if you enter the palace and become a concubine, you are just a concubine. Besides, there are so many women fighting in the palace.
How can I feel comfortable being a decent lady outside?"
"Although the Dong family is weak, your father will take care of you. Sooner or later, your husband-in-law will be able to stand out. No one will dare to bully you when you marry into his family. If you really marry into a wealthy family, you will be overwhelmed by all the rules and etiquette. Isn't it better than that?"
I feel comfortable coming from a small family." Mrs. Li thought deeply about her handkerchief exchanges.
"No! I won't marry into a poor family. Why should I suffer hardship? That damn girl Mingyue was born as a princess. My father is too partial." Hua Youmei said angrily.
"Shut up, why are you talking about Mingyue again?" Mrs. Li was dissatisfied, "I made it clear, you will get married in a year at most. From now on, stay home and don't cause any trouble for me.
"
Hua Youmei cried again. Now that Pinju had spoken, of course she had to make her words clear and boldly said: "Old lady, if there is a better one, why should we choose the Dong family?"
Ms. Li frowned, "How dare you talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense. I'll tell you the truth. Mr. Shi from the eldest princess's residence is very friendly to my young lady, and she is also interested in him. These poems were actually written by Mr. Shi to the young lady. He promised to invite her as soon as she cancels the engagement.
The matchmaker hires a young lady to marry her."
"Given the young lady's appearance, she cannot enter the palace as a concubine. Marrying the son of a princess is more than enough. The old lady can't bear to see the young lady fall into a pit of fire!" Pinju gave up.
Ms. Li was shocked, "You, what did you say? You secretly have a relationship with another man. You are going to piss me off." She raised her hand to hit him.
Hua Youmei broke the pot and said, "Then just beat me to death. After all, I will never marry someone named Dong."
"Shut up! Are you yelling so that everyone in the world will know? When your father finds out, he will be the first to beat you to death." After all, how could you really beat your own daughter, and it was not the time to beat her.
