Chapter 435 The Little Girls (1)

Wei Changying said, but Cao Yi Ren never agreed to change her words, and she just became someone's righteous mother, so it was not good for her to start disciplining her right away, so she pondered for a moment and said, "According to you, you don't want to suffer. But have you ever thought about it? You think not to suffer, in fact, is to suffer great losses."

Cao Yi Ren looked at her suspiciously.

"I said, you call your grandfather like this, when people hear, they will think you are unfilial. How to say is also your elders, this do the younger generation to let the elders that should be. If you don't let your elders get the best of you, then everyone will say you're not good, and you'll be ostracized everywhere if you get a bad reputation. Wei Changying sipped his tea and slowly said.

Cao Yi Ren was quite aggrieved, "On what grounds!"

"Just by virtue of the fact that he's your grandfather, without him there would be no mother, much less you. If you refuse to let him get away with this, who wouldn't think that you're the one who's bad?" Wei Changying touched her head and said, "On the other hand, if you give in to him on this matter, people on the other side will have to feel sorry for you! At that time, it may not fulfill your reputation."

"Why do I need a sidekick to hold my grievances for me?" Cao Yi Ren raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course I'm going to get my own back for the grievances I've suffered!"

Wei Changying laughed at these words and thought "This child's thoughts are similar to mine when I was a child. I practiced martial arts hard at that time, but I was also thinking that after I left the court, if my husband dared to wrong me, I would do it myself and teach him a hard lesson! I don't want to go back to my mother's house crying and complaining!"

Thinking of her own childhood, her disgust for Cao Yi Ren's stubbornness faded for a few moments, and she smiled and said ''What's wrong with the other side holding it for you? It also saves you a lot of effort! Besides, are you sure to be able to find your own way out of any grievance?"

Cao Yi Ren bit her lip and kept quiet.

Wei Changying said, "You are eight years old now. Even though you are late in your enlightenment, you are able to understand the truth. The reason I took you in as my daughter is because your elders wanted to give you a good future, but they paved the way for you, and if you don't do it properly, you will not only let them down, but you will also be doing yourself a disservice. I see that you are a smart child, it's impossible that you don't understand this, why are you so stubborn?"

After some persuasion, Cao Yi Ren reluctantly agreed not to call Ji Gu in the future.

Wei Changying gave her a few more pointers on etiquette and rules, and when he saw that it was getting late, he said, "You already knew that before you came here today, didn't you? From now on, you'll be staying at Mingpei Hall."

Cao Yi Ren nodded, "Uncle has spoken with me."

"Your maid is also with you." The maid that Wei Changying said was actually the maid or playmate that Jigu proposed to let Cao Yiren give to Shen Shuyan. Wei Changying was unwilling to let Cao Yiren stay with Shen Shuyan, so he took Cao Yiren's lack of playmates as an excuse to find a step to send Jigu down, and then sent a batch of small maids to Jiyuan to be selected by two of them.

Considering that these two young maids were not very familiar with Ming Pei Tang, Wei Chang Ying assigned several other servants to serve Cao Yi Ren.

After calling all of them to Cao Yiren to identify her and knock her around a bit, Wei Chang Ying Fang personally sent her to the prepared courtyard.

This courtyard is not far from Wei Chang Ying's courtyard, but it is not far from where Shen Zangzhu lives with her two nieces.

Wei Changying had said that he would arrange for it to be farther away, but when he really arranged it, he thought that Ming Pei Tang was basically empty now. If Cao Yiren had been brought to live with us, but had been placed far away, Ji Zhaizi would not have been happy to learn of it. Besides, it would be pitiful for an eight-year-old girl to live in an unfamiliar place and be separated from the rest of the family.

So Wei Chang Ying considered it or dialed the nearby yard.

This small courtyard has only two sections, but it is enough for Cao Yiren to live in. Wei Changying had it cleaned up and planted a lot of flowers and grasses that little girls like, and also set up a swing set in the yard, with a parrot learning to speak under the porch and a tank for colorful koi carp.

The house was also filled with glazed horses, nine linked rings and other toys.

Ji Ku, Ji Chunmian, and Ji Zhaosi were not good at gently pampering their juniors, and even if they loved Cao Yi Ren, they were certainly not as considerate as the servants who had served Ming Pei Tang for generations. Cao Yiren looked at them all the way over and showed a clear sign of joy. When Wei Changying finished showing her the two courtyards and gave her instructions to leave, she called out to her righteous mother in a much more affectionate manner.

The next morning, Cao Yiren was called up by her maid, dressed in a new dress and jewelry, and led to the back hall to greet Wei Changying.

The day's invocation was still for recognition.

Although it is said that yesterday, when the adopted daughters were collected, the ones who should be seen have all been seen, but yesterday there were many people in the mouth, and the children were afraid that the mess was not remembered. So this day, Wei Changying invited Shen Zangzhu and her two nieces to meet with her again and urged them to get along with each other.

Cao Yiren came in early because her maid had called her early and she was alone. Wei Changying told her a few words about the rules of the family before Shen Zangzhu led her two nieces in. Cao Yiren did as Wei Changying had told her and got up to greet her.

Shen Zangzhu laughed, "Get up quickly, we are all family members, there is no need to be so polite."

To Shen Zangzhu after the invitation to the peace and then is with Shen Shu Yan each other to see the salute the two little girls are the same age, and Shen Shu Yan than Cao Ya older than a month, is considered a sister. So Cao Yi Ren bowed first, Shen Shu Yan returned the bow. Watching the two of them politely at the foot of the hall, each returning to their respective places, Wei Changying and Shen Zangzhu both secretly sighed in relief, urging the still small Shen Shuxi "Go and greet your sister Cao."

When Wei Changying decided to take Cao Yiren as her adopted daughter and bring her to Ming Pei Tang to teach her, she was worried that her jealous niece, Shen Shuyan, wouldn't cause any trouble, so she started to coax Shen Shuyan a few days in advance. When Shen Shuyan heard that there would be an additional sister Cao living in Ming Pei Tang and that she would be taught by her aunt, she asked, "Is this sister Cao as good-looking as I am?"

Shen Zangzhu and Wei Changying said together, "Your sister Cao is also beautiful, but she is not as good as you are, and she is certainly not as good as you are in terms of temperament. Even in terms of looks alone, there are very few girls who look as good as you do."

Shen Shuyan asked again, "Is this Sister Cao as smart as I am?"

This time, both the aunt and the aunt laughed out loud, "Do you think that qualifications like yours are just wild vegetables that can be found on the side of the road? We don't know how much virtue our family has accumulated to get such a little prodigy as you, and I'm afraid we won't be able to meet another one in this lifetime."

So Shen Shuyan was satisfied, "In that case, it's fine for her to come and live in the house, but don't keep hanging around in front of me, I don't like this kind of stupid-looking and unattractive person!"

When Shen Zangzhu and Wei Changying heard her say that, they immediately corrected her that Cao Yiren wasn't very stupid and was a good-looking girl, and said that this Cao sister always called her elder sister, so how could she talk about her younger sister in such a way? However, Shen Shuyan, who was accustomed to her beauty and talent, and had always had a clear mind, still looked down on Cao Yiren. Wei Changying was really worried that she would make Cao Yiren lose face.

Fortunately, I don't know whether it was the advice of the elders that worked or whether Shen Shuyan despised Cao Yiren to the point of laziness. When the two girls met, although they seemed a little cold and vaguely hostile, there were no conflicts. After listening to Wei Changying and Shen Zangzhu give a few words of instruction and lay out their homework, they each went down to do their own work.

For the rest of the day, Cao Yiren went to Wei Changying every day to learn the rules and etiquette of the scholarly family, as well as to learn to read and write. But although she was with Wei Changying every day, she was not always taught by him personally.

For example, on this day, when the staff brought the account book to report that someone had been found to be enriching himself, Wei Changying led He, who was the most skillful in this field, to reconcile the accounts. Cao Yiren was handed over to Zhu Yi and taken to the small room next to the accountant's office to learn how to read.

Wei Changying and He had been busy for two days, and also handed Cao Yi Ren over to Zhu Yi for two days, before they finished disposing of the matter, and when they thought of Cao Yi Ren, they asked someone to go next door to check on her.

The little messenger girl, Shi Yu, ran back and carefully said, "Miss Fourth Sun is over there, teaching Miss Cao something!"

"When did Yan'er come over?" Wei Chang Ying was stunned and said, "What is she teaching Yi Ren?"

Shi Yu said, "The maidservant doesn't quite understand, it seems to be talking about poetry."

Poetry is Shen Shuyan's specialty, but Cao Yiren's foundation is still weak and she is still in the stage of recognizing words and breaking sentences, so Wei Changying has not yet taught her to recite poems and make pairs. When she heard Shi Yu's words, Wei Chang Ying, who knew her niece very well, had a headache. As she walked to the next door in three steps, she heard Shen Shu Yan shouting furiously, "You don't know the allusion to 'Horse and Deer Alien', or 'Randi Reading Book'? You don't know the allusion to 'Horse and Deer', you don't know the allusion to 'Randi Reading', you don't know the allusion to 'Winking at the Rooster' you don't even know the meaning of 'Orchid and Laurel'! And you dare to look at my poems! Tell me what you've seen!"

Well, I don't need to ask to know what happened. It must be that Shen Shuyan has written some new masterpiece and wanted to bring it over to show it to her aunt, but when she came, she heard that her aunt was busy with something, so she went next door to wait for her. Happen to see Cao Yiren in, want to be with her to say the intention, Cao Yiren heard after the hand to see also Cao Yiren do not know the inside of the trick to see this kind of new work that is to give the evaluation. Cao Yiren has not yet recognized a few words, she can evaluate what?

Shen Shuyan was already a picky person, and she couldn't be fooled by idle good words, so didn't she realize that Cao Yiren was not at all a person who could judge, and immediately seethed?

When I first heard Shiyu say that Shen Shuyan was teaching Cao Yiren, I felt that something was wrong. My niece despised Cao Yiren, so she wouldn't be able to teach her. Shen Shuyan now has a student in Shen Shuxi.

She sighed and was about to walk in to relieve Cao Yi Ren. However, she heard Cao Yi Ren also open her voice in a clear and crisp manner, saying carelessly, "I see that you write well."

"You also know how good or bad the characters are?!" Shen Shuyan said angrily, "This is your handwriting on the case, isn't it? You're so old before you start learning to trace red! How dare you talk about my handwriting! My fifth sister is only four years old now, and her writing is even better than yours!"

"Huh, your fifth sister's writing is better than mine, do you mean that your writing is not as good as mine instead?" Cao Yi Ren actually also has an eloquent tongue, and without giving Shen Shu Yan a chance to defend herself, she immediately said, "Otherwise, why are you comparing yourself to your fifth sister instead of yourself? I thought you were a person who didn't know any manners and couldn't say a word of politeness. It turns out that you are turning a corner to compliment me, so many thanks, many thanks."

Shen Shuyan stayed for a moment, apparently this fourth granddaughter has always been a fire, we all hold and let her, have not met Cao Yiren such a cynical, actually after a few breaths to come to their senses, fury "Nonsense! You can't even compare my writing to yours. You do not even know how many words you have not yet recognized a few countryside little girl, really shame are not, so shameless words can also be said!"

Cao Yi Ren was not annoyed and said with a smile, "I'm a little girl from the countryside, you're a little girl from a famous family, we're all little girls, what are you doing being so mean?"

"Bah, you are the little girl!" Shen Shuyan scolded, "I am the Fourth Sun Miss of Ming Pei Tang, am I not the same as you?"

"I said earlier that I don't want to come here, but my uncle insisted that I come!" Hearing a bang inside, I don't know whether Cao Yi Ren dropped something or kicked something, there seemed to be a small servant girl shouting, Cao Yi Ren suddenly flipped her face, laughing coldly, "Seeing this kind of nine cross children like you is annoying! You're not useful at all, and you just rely on the fact that you were born in a good place to show off your strength! If you don't have the protection of your family, what are you? Don't think I'm afraid of you just because I'm living here! My uncle said that I live here because of your aunt's favor, and if you dare to bully me, you'll be slapping your aunt's face! Back to my uncle to go to your third aunt theory theory she took the initiative to recognize me as a goddaughter, just to find someone for you to take it out on? If I really can't, I'll just stop staying! I'll go back to my uncle! If you have the ability, don't get sick for the rest of your life, and don't ask my uncle for help!"

Shen Shuyan burst into a rage ''You're the one who's a waste! I write well, didn't I write it myself? Uncle uncle, you will rely on your uncle, also have the face to say that I rely on the family also, what nine cross children! You don't even know how to pronounce 'dude'! Who are you saying is useless! Speak up!"

Cao Yi Ren laughed coldly and said, "Is it a big deal to recognize two words? If the Di people come, will they get off their horses and compare words with you? If you are the daughter of Western Liang, don't talk nonsense! Let's go outside and find a quiet place to compete! Don't say I'm bullying you, if I let you have one hand, I'll still beat you up and make you cry!"

Shen Shuyan almost jumped up and shouted, "Just go, afraid of you?!"

When he overheard this, Wei Changying couldn't go on any longer, so he walked in and said, "What's all the noise about?"
