I'm a humble concubine. My acting skills are off the charts. You can check my performance.

Zhao Fangyu's handwriting can't be said to be good, but it seems particularly special at her age.

Therefore, even the eldest lady was not worried at all that Zhao Fangyu's popularity would threaten her daughter.

After all, no matter how talented Zhao Fangyu was, she was just a little girl who had just started education for a year.

Zhao Minshan took the homework that Zhao Fangyu handed to him nervously, glanced at it and then relaxed. After saying "good", he turned around and chatted with the eldest lady about family matters.

The eldest lady smiled and talked to him, saying that Mother Cui had rewarded Zhao Fangyu with a pair of agate and gold earrings.

Zhao Fangyu showed his presence in front of his father and then followed Zhao Fangjin.

Zhao Fangjin hasn't spoken much since Zhao Minshan came, and he doesn't even pay much attention to Zhao Fangyu who is following behind him.

Zhao Fangyu immediately knew why Zhao Fangjin was being awkward.

Zhao Minshan seldom comes to the backyard often throughout the year. He usually lives in the outer courtyard and comes to Qingping Courtyard even less often. Moreover, he lives in Yuelan Pavilion for half a month in a month. This is also the fundamental reason why people in the main courtyard dislike Zhao Fanglan.

The entire main courtyard looks down on the people from Yuelanxuan.

Zhao Fangyu lowered his head and thought for a while, then decided to take the lead: "Sister, I was really scared just now, rub my face, the hairs on my face are standing up!"

Zhao Fangjin pinched the soft flesh on Zhao Fangyu's face and shook it with amusement, and his unhappiness in his heart eased a little.

She only had one biological sister, Zhao Fangmo, who was still breastfeeding. The only one she could keep by her side and tease was Zhao Fangyu, who looked obedient and could be beaten wherever she was told.

At least Zhao Fangyu wouldn't cause her any trouble. He was much better than the fifth girl who made her feel overwhelmed.

Zhao Fangjin's mind turned away, and the stone in his heart also fell.

Zhao Fangyu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the idea was correct. Her elder sister's thoughts were actually very easy to guess. She was afraid that she would be too stupid to be outdone by the people from Yue Lanxuan, bringing shame to the main courtyard. She was also afraid that she would be too smart and surpass her to win the attention of her cheap father.

Wherever a man loves, there is money. Money flows to Yuelanxuan, and only the housekeeper knows.

After chatting with Zhao Fangjin for a while, Zhao Fangyu returned to his room.

She is already seven years old this year. Apart from practicing calligraphy, she has to think of other ways to please her stepmother.

Life is not easy for a concubine's daughter. In the future, she will have a good future only if she pleases her stepmother.

It is simply impossible for a commoner to rise to fame and become famous in Beijing once she travels through time as written on TV and in novels. Once people discover that something is unusual, even the legitimate master of the mansion will be sent to a farm and locked up for life.

If it's a maid or concubine, it would be even more miserable. If the mistress is more powerful, there is really no difference between people and objects. If she wants to sell you, she can sell you. If she wants to throw you away, she can throw you away. Even if your parents come to you to complain, she would be in the wrong.

Zhao Fangwei from Pingbo Court is good at needlework, but it is not easy for her to do it. Zhao Fangwei is very popular in Qingping Court, but she is still inexperienced and there is a 90% chance that she will lose if she fights with Zhao Fangwei.

The eldest girl was already learning how to be a housekeeper. When the eldest lady was teaching her, she also brought Zhao Fangyu along. Zhao Fangyu showed some talent in mathematics at the right time, which surprised both the eldest lady and Zhao Fangjin.

But arithmetic could not bring her money, and the dowry of the eldest lady's mother's family was extremely wealthy. Even if the entire mansion was looted and sold, it would not be enough to cover half of the eldest lady's dowry. The gift she gave by tightening her belt was just an ordinary thing in the eyes of the eldest lady.

Zhao Fangyu's eyes wandered aimlessly around the room.

On the rosewood antique display shelf were the ornaments that the eldest lady had collected over the past year, such as white jade vases, elegant small fans...all of them were rare and precious things. Even the Boshan stove for burning incense was made of white jade inlaid with rubies.

fragrant?

The one from the Duke's Mansion is also very good at making perfume.

Making perfume is the most elegant thing in Daliang. Even if you are down and out, you can still sell it for money. It is better to do embroidery which wastes your eyes and can also make your presence felt in front of your stepmother for a long time.

Zhao Fangyu did what he said and immediately took out the small treasury he had saved for more than half a year and went out.

After going out, he turned back, thought about it, and asked Juanxue for a plate of Zhao Zhirun's favorite Longjing red bean cake.

Today is a day off and all the children in the family are not going to school. When Zhao Fangyu was passing through the garden, he met Zhao Fangyun who was out playing.

Today, the master is not here, but Zhao Fangyun still has the courage to roll his eyes at Zhao Fangyu.

"Why are you enduring this, young lady? Fifth Miss bullies us everyday. Today, young lady has been praised by the master, so it's time for her to open her eyes."

Following behind was Chun Shao, who rolled her eyes when she saw Zhao Fangyun doing something strange.

Zhao Fangyu frowned slightly. She was looking for the eldest lady's son, so it would be best if he had the eldest lady's brand surveillance camera with him.

Chunshao's words were clearly adding fuel to the fire, but a qualified surveillance camera only needs two eyes.

"What happened to the Fifth Miss has nothing to do with me. A person of integrity is not afraid of his own shadow. I have a clear conscience. I know how my handwriting is. It's just a compliment from my father. Can you take it seriously?"

"You can't keep calm like this, and you get cocky just because your father praises you. That's frivolous behavior. My eldest brother and second brother have been praised so many times, but I've never seen them stop studying and go out to play."

"Talk less and do more. I can't control Fifth Miss." Zhao Fangyu's eyes turned to Chun Shao's gradually pale face: "It's enough to control you."

She has been in the main courtyard for half a year, so it is okay for her to show her edge occasionally. Being too weak will make the eldest lady think that she is a hopeless person.

Chunshao didn't say anything along the way. Zhao Fangyu brought silver and pastries to find Zhao Zhirun who was reciting in the yard.

"Fourth sister, you came at the right time. Come and spank me."

When Zhao Fangyu heard this, he knew that Zhao Zhirun must have been punished by the teacher to recite the text yesterday.

Zhao Zhirun stated the scope, and Zhao Fangyu found a stone bench and sat down confidently. Chunshao put out the snacks, and Zhao Fangyu and Zhao Zhirun recited the text in turn.

After about two cups of tea, Zhao Zhirun finally wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Fourth sister, you came just in time. Jiang Ci is not studying hard. I asked him to recite, but he didn't recognize most of the words."

Zhao Fangyu pushed the cakes aside and exchanged pleasantries with Zhao Zhirun. After a moment, he got down to business: "Brother, are you going out this afternoon?"

Zhao Zhirun nodded and said that he had made an appointment to play polo.

"Brother, if you're passing by the spice shop, can you buy some for me?"

Zhao Fangyu rested his chin on the stone table, and stared at Zhao Zhirun with his big, round eyes, moist and moist.

It had been many years since Zhao Zhirun had seen a sister dare to act like this to him. When he met such a lovely Zhao Fangyu, and the request was not a big deal, he naturally agreed.

"What's the big deal? Do you have a list? If you have one, I'll buy it for you. If not, I'll ask the servant to help you pick it out."

Zhao Fangyu didn't know what to buy, so he just asked the waiter to help him pick.

"Did you go to the Meng Mansion to see my second brother last time? My second brother asked me the other day if you were angry, and he said that he bullied you in the Duke's Mansion. What's going on?"
