[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Yun Ye shook his head seriously, "I don't hate my grandmother. My mother said that after my father died, my grandmother was the saddest. It's not that my grandmother didn't love me, it's just that she loved my father more. That's why my grandmother avoided seeing me."

Is this the truth? What Zhang taught Yun Ye since childhood was not hatred, but forgiveness and love.

Rong Enqing suddenly felt a little sad, "Your mother taught you very well. It's your grandmother who has let you and your mother down all these years."

Yun Ye shook his head seriously again, "Grandma didn't do anything wrong to us. Mother said that Grandma was the most generous person in the world because she didn't make things difficult for her or blame me because of my father's affairs. Mother has always been grateful to Grandma over the years."

Rong Enqing looked at Yun Ye in surprise, but saw that he did not look like he was lying. Rong Enqing could not help but feel extremely confused.

What kind of woman is Zhang? Her husband died, she was taken out on by her mother-in-law, ignored for many years, and almost deprived her son of the right to inherit the family business. But she didn't resent or hate her, and even had good intentions towards her mother-in-law! ? She even taught her son to be grateful! ?

No normal person would react like this.

Rong Enqing secretly guessed that Zhang was either a true saint or had a mental problem.

Anyway, no matter what the truth is, Rong Enqing still has to praise Zhang for being a good mother! After all, hatred will not make people happy! Instead, it will make people extreme and more likely to make mistakes and go astray.

"You are very good, and your mother is also very good. It was always Grandma who was not good before. From now on, the three of us, grandparents and grandchildren, should live a good life."

Rong Enqing smiled, picked up a steamed bun and put it on the plate in front of Yun Ye.

"Thank you, grandma." Yun Ye thanked her with a smile, picked up the steamed bun and took a bite, "Mm, it's delicious."

Not long after the grandparents and grandchildren had finished their meal, Zhang came.

"Mother." Zhang bowed respectfully, her expression still very calm.

Rong Enqing smiled and asked the man to sit down. He also asked Meixiang to serve tea. Then he said to Zhang: "You came just in time. I was just about to send someone to look for you."

"I wonder what mother wants to see me about?" Zhang asked calmly.

Rong Enqing looked at Yun Ye and said, "I haven't taken care of Yun Ye in these years. Now he is eight years old, and I don't know whether he has started to learn. So I want to ask you and discuss with you. Should we hire a teacher to teach him in the mansion or find a college for him to study?"

Zhang said: "My daughter-in-law can recognize a few words. In the past few years, she has been teaching Yunye personally."

Rong Enqing was slightly surprised, but then he let it go. Zhang was born into a scholarly family. Her ancestors had produced several great scholars, and Zhang's grandfather had even been the prince's tutor. Zhang was already well-known for her talent when she was still waiting to be married, so it should be easy for her to teach Yun Ye.

"That's good, that's good." Rong Enqing nodded with a smile and asked Yun Ye, "How many books have you read? Have you finished learning the Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, and Thousand Character Classic?"

Yun Ye looked at Zhang and then replied, "Grandmother, I finished learning the Three Hundred Thousand Four Years ago. I have also finished learning the Four Books, and am now learning the Book of Rites."

Rong Enqing was stunned. "Book of Rites"!? If I remember correctly, "Book of Rites" is the third book of the Five Classics.

This, this, this, this is only an eight-year-old child! He has already finished learning the Four Books and Five Classics! ?

Seeing Rong Enqing's shocked expression, Zhang quickly explained, "The child is precocious and has a talent for learning, so my daughter-in-law taught him arbitrarily."

Rong Enqing exhaled and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm just surprised that our mansion has produced a little prodigy! According to his learning progress, I'm afraid he will be able to pass the imperial examination and return before he is twelve or thirteen years old."

As soon as he said this, Rong Enqing suddenly stopped.

Unable to inherit the Marquisate and not being favored by the Marquisate, Yun Ye can only rely on himself for his future. Therefore, studying and passing the imperial examinations is his only way out.

Rong Enqing looked at Zhang with a look of realization, feeling guilty, "Are you planning for Yun Ye's future? Alas, it's all my fault. The child has to endure so much at such a young age."

What else can she say? She has to take the blame for her original body unconditionally.

"Thank you and your son for your hard work over the years."

Yun Ye quickly comforted Rong Enqing, "Grandma, your grandson is not suffering. Only those who endure hardships can become successful people. Your grandson also wants to make a big career, so your grandson does not feel the pain at all."

"Okay, okay, you're a good kid."

The three of them talked for a while, and finally Rong Enqing and Zhang decided to find a school for Yun Ye after the mourning period was over. Yun Ye had been locked up in the mansion for so many years and rarely went out. Now was the time for him to get in touch with the outside world and learn to get along with people of his age.

The topic of study was almost over, so Rong Enqing changed the subject and said, "Yun Ye is eight years old now, and it's time for him to live in a yard by himself."

Zhang, who had always maintained a calm expression, frowned slightly, but soon regained her composure and nodded gently: "Mother is right. Everything is up to you, mother."

Rong Enqing looked at Yun Ye and asked, "Will Yun Ye be afraid of living alone in the future?"

Yun Ye shook his head calmly: "Grandson is not afraid."

Rong Enqing smiled and said, "It's good that you are not afraid. You can live in Qinghui Hall from now on."

Zhang's expression finally changed. She was shocked and asked in astonishment, "What do you mean, mother?"

Yun Ye was also very confused, "Grandma?"

Seeing the mother and son were facing a formidable enemy, Rong Enqing laughed and said, "Don't get me wrong. I meant that Qinghui Hall is the main courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion. Yun Ye is now the legitimate young marquis of the Marquis' Mansion. Naturally, this main courtyard should be given to him to live in."

Before the mother and son could speak, Rong Enqing quickly found an excuse for himself, "Besides, the Marquis is dead, and I live here alone, and it always feels empty, so I want to move to another place.

"I've even chosen the location. It's the yard in the northwest corner, connected to the back garden. From now on, the garden will be right outside the yard. How wonderful!"

Seeing that the mother and son still looked unconvinced, Rong Enqing continued, "Don't disbelieve me. I have already chosen the name of the courtyard. It is called Baishou Hall. I even asked someone to carve the plaque two days ago."

Yun Ye frowned for a rare time, with a look of self-blame on his face. He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Rong Enqing's glare and smile, "Okay, it's not a big deal. As long as the three of us can live a stable and peaceful life in the future, I will be happy. If I can live a long life, that would be the best!"

"Yes." Yun Ye said seriously, "Grandma will definitely live to be a hundred years old! I will be filial to you and protect you, so that you can be happy and worry-free forever."

"Hahaha, that's great!" Rong Enqing said with a smile, "Don't forget your mother."

Yun Ye was slightly embarrassed, and quickly added: "I will also be filial to my mother, protect her, and let her live a long and carefree life like my grandmother!"

Zhang couldn't help but let out a faint smile.
