A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!
Chapter 206: Just a Small Matter
Aunt Su’s small classroom is now being utilized quite frequently.
Every morning, she would check the short videos that would be shown to the children that day. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the three boys from the Zhu family came.
The length of the short videos she played was gradually increasing.
The earliest episode was only five minutes long.
After half a month, it had increased to fifteen minutes.
According to the expert opinions conveyed by Su Heiya, it is to train children's concentration.
If the video is too long, I’m afraid the children will lose patience and not want to watch it.
But in fact, children are very patient!
Generally, watching it once is not enough, you have to watch it three times before you leave.
Seeing these little guys looking at her eagerly, she couldn't blame Luo Ren, so she had to play it three times each time.
However, the advantage of playing it three times is that at the end of the daily learning task, all the tasks are completed successfully.
After the Zhu family’s children leave and dinner is over, it is time to play some short science films for my own children.
Sometimes it’s a short film about natural scenery, and sometimes it’s a short cartoon about ancient costumes.
In short, it can broaden your horizons, increase your interest, and you can also learn some knowledge by the way.
On this day, Zhu arrived in the morning.
When Zhu came to ask Aunt Su for help in saving the Zhu family's stupid child, Aunt Su mentioned at that time that she really had something and wanted someone's help.
Now, half a month has passed, and the three boys of the Zhu family are obviously much stronger than before. Not only can they write and recognize dozens of words, but their eyes have become more open-minded and clear.
Then doesn’t the Zhu family have to fulfill what they promised before?
Zhu first thanked her family on behalf of her mother's family, and then asked, "I wonder if the old lady has any difficulties? The Zhu family will definitely do their best to help the old lady."
Aunt Su sighed leisurely.
"Mrs. Zhu has also seen my useless daughter. She is my only child. I was reluctant to marry her to the capital city, but her father was determined to marry into the Duke He Mansion, saying that the Duke He Mansion is of high status and good family tradition, and marrying into the Mansion would definitely bring happiness, so I had no choice but to agree."
"Who knew that Mr. He San was actually such a useless person!"
"It's not that I, the mother-in-law, am picky, but Mr. He San's inner courtyard is actually a mess! My daughter is so miserable. She was attacked during childbirth, and Hu Ge'er has been weak and sick since she was born. She almost died."
"Because of Hu Ge'er's illness, my daughter never left the house. After she got married, she never returned to her parents' home and didn't bother to go out for social activities. She has white hair at a young age and looks several years older!"
Hearing this, Zhu couldn't help but feel compassion.
Naturally, she had also heard about Lin Yanniang's predicament, but at that time she was also worried and had no time to take care of other people's family affairs. Now, listening to Aunt Su's complaints, she could empathize with her.
"Yes, fortunately, Brother Hu is in good health now."
She had seen Hu Ge'er several times. Although he looked thinner than other children, he was very energetic, and his big eyes showed that he was smart and clever.
"Yeah, I finally managed to raise Hu Ge'er, but my son-in-law is acting up again."
"Before, there was a concubine who was promoted to a concubine. Not only was she spoiled, but she also gave birth to a boy who was only a few months younger than Brother Hu."
"Besides this concubine, there are two other concubines in the courtyard! But even so many people can't hold him back! Especially in the past two months, he has even become a guest of honor at the Hongxiang Yaguan!"
Aunt Su wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.
The role of an old woman who cares about her daughter is played vividly.
"Mrs. Zhu certainly knows that Hongxiang Yaguan is a famous den of money in the capital. No amount of money can fill it up. Not to mention, their third wife is just a concubine's daughter, so she didn't get much of the family property in the first place."
"Although I have a chance to become an immortal and can ask for favors from the immortals, the only things I can ask for favors from the immortals are serious matters... Encouraging people to be good and teaching children to go to school are all things that the immortals will allow. But as an old woman, how can I ask the immortals to teach my son-in-law a lesson?"
Mrs. Zhu understood instantly.
that's true!
No matter how capable Madam Su is, she can't teach her useless son-in-law a lesson herself, right?
For example, the legendary snake demon. The old lady couldn’t let the snake demon poison her son-in-law and make him stupid, right?
Hi!
She thought it was something else!
This is an easy thing to do!
If it was Boss He, the Duke's son, it would be difficult for the Zhu family to take action.
He Laosan is a bastard, and he has no honor or title. What's wrong with him helping the old lady teach her a lesson?
Zhu immediately patted his chest.
"The old lady loves her daughter very much. Since I am a married woman and have a daughter, I can naturally understand."
"The third master of the He family is lucky enough to marry Sister Yanniang, and he has both a legitimate son and a concubine's daughter. He should be content. Why would he still be fooling around outside? Those women outside are only after money. How can they be sincere? Third Master He is hurting others and himself!"
The more she spoke, the more sincere her feelings became.
After all, Zhao Dalang is not a good person.
"The old lady is his mother-in-law, and the son-in-law is a half-son. Mr. He Sanye's mother must not be able to discipline him. It is only natural for the old lady to discipline him a little."
"Don't worry, old lady. Although my Zhu family doesn't have much power, we still have some people from all walks of life. I guarantee that Mr. He will never dare to go to Hongxiang Yaguan again when he thinks of it..."
Zhu said it with great certainty.
why?
Because Zhao Dalang is just like He Sanye, neither of them is a man who will settle down.
After Zhao Dalang's official career was over, he indulged in drinking and pursuing women for a while...but after less than three months, he became a well-behaved man and never dared to mess with those wild flowers outside again.
Wasn’t it because he was taught a lesson by the Zhu family?
Therefore, the Zhu family not only has the ability to support Old Lady Su's idea, but also agrees with it.
Zhu said goodbye to Aunt Su and returned to her parents' home to report to her father.
When Mr. Zhu heard that it was just such a trivial matter, he couldn't help but laugh.
"This is easy to handle."
Teaching He Lao San a lesson and not letting him go to places with half-open doors to drink wine and seduce women is not only easy, but even if Duke He knows about it, he will not blame the Zhu family and may even bow and thank them if he sees him!
It was almost evening. After finishing her dinner, Aunt Xiu had someone light the lights in the study. She personally watched her son spread out his homework and read it in an extremely serious manner.
Aunt Xiu was born in the Duke's Mansion. As the head maid in Mr. He Sanye's room, she could read a few words and was not a blind person with open eyes.
But even if he knew a few words, he would not be able to understand Mao Ge'er's current homework.
Seeing that Mao Ge'er was reading very seriously, Aunt Xiu nodded secretly in her heart and then quietly retreated.
When she returned to her room, Mr. He San did not come to her place, so she had nothing to do. She sat under the window with her personal maid and started to make lace.
After a while, familiar footsteps were heard outside the yard.
Aunt Xiu threw away the silk ribbon in her hand, stroked her hair, and walked towards him with a smile.
The one who came back this time was none other than He Sanlang.
He Sanlang was wearing a thin brocade robe and had a smile on his face. When he saw Aunt Xiu, he raised his eyebrows and called her "Xiu'er".
The smell of wine mixed with aroma wafted into my nose.
Aunt Xiu quickly agreed and went to meet him.
However, he felt jealous in his heart. Now the Third Wife was wholeheartedly going back to her parents' home and didn't care about the Third Master. The Third Master was becoming more and more free and was hanging out outside every day. He didn't know which prostitute in which brothel he had fallen in love with.
"Master San just came back from outside?"
Aunt Xiu diligently asked someone to fetch water, and personally held out a handkerchief to clean He Lao San's hands and face, her voice full of affection and sadness.
He Laosan just fell for it.
Although Xiu'er has aged a little in recent years, her voice is still the same as when she was young, just like a new oriole emerging from the valley.
He Laosan half closed his eyes and enjoyed his aunt's service.
It was not until he changed into a casual loose Taoist robe and lay down on a soft couch that he slightly opened his eyes, looked at Aunt Xiu and smiled, "I came to your place right after I came back, but I didn't even go to the Third Madam's place!"
Aunt Xiu smiled happily.
"I was making a bracelet for you just now because I thought the bracelet on the jade pendant you often wear is old and needs a new one!"
As she spoke, she touched the sleeve of Master He San's Taoist robe and said, "This robe of yours is a little old. Tomorrow I will go through the box and see if there is any material left so that I can make you a new robe!"
As the third master in the mansion, He Laosan can naturally buy four new sets of clothes every season as part of his share of the public income. However, he is often out socializing and is a master in the Duke's Mansion, so he would like to wear different clothes every day. These four sets are naturally far from enough.
He Laosan's monthly allowance was naturally not small. In the past, he could just call in a tailor from outside and have seven or eight more suits made for himself, which was more than enough.
In addition to the old clothes from previous years, in short, He Laosan's clothes, in addition to being kept in his yard in the outer courtyard, some were kept with Aunt Xiu and the two concubines.
On the contrary, because he had a mediocre relationship with the Third Wife, the number of clothes placed in the Third Wife's yard was the least.
Of course, Aunt Xiu had been with him the longest, and she had the most old clothes.
When Aunt Xiu said she wanted to find some fabric to make clothes for him, there was naturally something else she meant.
He Lao San glanced at Aunt Xiu and said with a smile, "It's not easy for you to save some money, so use it to make clothes for Mao Ge'er."
He was an adult man with a sufficient share, but a third-generation illegitimate son like Mao Ge'er was far inferior to him.
A season is nothing more than two new sets of clothes.
Boys of this age grow very fast, and the clothes they wore last year often don’t fit them this year.
So when Aunt Xiu said she wanted to find some fabric to make new clothes for He Lao San, her implication was actually just a euphemism for crying poor.
If it were in the past, He Lao San would either take out dozens of taels of silver to reward Aunt Xiu, or make a big promise and ask a tailor from outside to come in to measure the sizes of Aunt Xiu and Mao'er. But today, he did not follow Aunt Xiu's words at all, let alone pay the money.
Aunt Xiu didn't get any benefits as she did in the past, so she could only grit her teeth in secret.
He used many methods, including massaging and loosening He Laosan's bones, which made He Laosan so comfortable that he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Aunt Xiu glared at He Lao San's back with resentment. The Third Master hadn't been to this courtyard for several days. When he finally came, he just came to sleep!
When He Laosan woke up early, he saw Aunt Xiu's eyes were red, obviously she had been crying.
"What happened to Xiu'er?"
Aunt Xiu had been thinking about this sentence all night, so doesn't that explain the reason?
It turned out that after Hu Ge'er went to Dongcheng Academy, although the boys in the clan school did not want to go to Dongcheng Academy themselves, it did not stop them from using this as an excuse. They were not from the same room as Hu Ge'er, and even if they were jealous and sour, they could not see Hu Ge'er. Wouldn't Mao Ge'er, who was in the same room as the third room, become the target of their ridicule?
Of course, there was ridicule and exclusion, but it was not too excessive.
After all, the head of the Duke's Mansion now is the Duke, not the eldest son of the first wife.
After Mao Ge'er came back, he complained to Aunt Xiu several times, but it was not as weird as Aunt Xiu said, as if all the boys in the clan came to bully Mao Ge'er because of Dongcheng Academy, and Mao Ge'er could not stand it any longer.
He Laosan frowned when he heard this.
"Is the clan school so messed up? I'll report this to my father and ask my cousin to discipline those troublemakers!"
The person in charge of the clan school is a scholar in the He family, and in terms of seniority, he is the cousin of He Laosan.
However, although this man passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, it was really by luck. He did not perform well in the imperial examination later and had no property, so he had to rely on connections to manage the He family's clan school and received dozens of taels of silver every month.
But he had neither lofty ideals nor any awareness of teaching and educating people. What's more, all the students in the clan school were from the direct line of the family, and it was good enough if they could pretend to learn a few words. How could he expect a Jinshi to emerge from this bunch of hooligans?
Therefore, the masters of the He family all have a good idea of what the clan school is like.
Aunt Xiu hurriedly stopped her, "Forget it! You can't take care of those little ancestors, but you hate Mao'er even more. Mao'er is not like Hu'er. He has a maternal family and can go to Dongcheng Academy. You can only get along with them in the clan school."
He Lao San was just a playboy, not stupid. After hearing this, he frowned and said, "You also want Mao Ge'er to go to Dongcheng Academy?"
Aunt Xiu said hurriedly, "I don't dare to have high hopes for the East City Academy. I heard that in addition to the East City and West City Academy, there are several other academies that are also very good..."
Why does she care so much about Mao Ge'er's studies?
It’s because Mr. He Sanye himself has no future. It seems that if she relies on him, Aunt Xiu will never be able to make a breakthrough in her life.
Can't I only rely on my son?
If her son could pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi in the future, as his mother, she would naturally be able to obtain an imperial edict or something, which would truly be a turnaround in her life!
He Lao San thought for a moment and said, "I've taken note of what you said. I'll go out and ask around. If there's a suitable academy, I'll let Mao go there... But I'm afraid I'll offend my cousin."
