Xiaoyu stayed at Fu's family for lunch, half of the vegetarian dishes on the table, and half of the meat dishes. Qingshu only ate vegetarian dishes, and never touched the meat dishes.

I couldn't stand Xiaoyu picked up a piece of chicken wings and prepared to give it to her, but Qingshu took the bowl open.

Xiaoyu said helplessly: "Don't be so mean, okay? As long as no one here says this, who knows that you have eaten meat?"

Qingshu said slowly: "You can deceive others and you can't deceive yourself. And you have been here for half a year. Wouldn't you do useless work if you break the precepts in the first half of the year?"

Yaoyao said, "Aunt Yu, you don't know my mother's character yet. Even the eight cows can't get back the decision. I have persuaded you many times but it's useless, so don't persuade you anymore."

It's useless to persuade.

Xiaoyu didn't persuade him after hearing this.

After lunch, Xiaoyu took her to the garden and walked, talking as she walked: "These days, many people have come to me to plead with me, wanting my children to come to Wenhuatang to go to school next year. When I said I wanted to take the exam, they became hesitant, saying that the children had specialties. Specialties also had to have a certain degree of knowledge. If they were too different, they were lowering the level of Wenhuatang."

“Rejection is.”

"I refused, but they always look for my mother. My mother is older and softer, and she feels softer when she asks her. When I don't agree to my mother, I will talk to me, and I'm so annoyed."

Qingshu knew that her tone had loosened, and without thinking, she said, "If you can't resist your mother, just agree to them."

Xiaoyu was very surprised. She knew that Qingshu was the most principled person.

Qingshu said: "My aunt knows our relationship and wants her daughter Jiaxin to study in Wenhua Hall, but I didn't agree."

"If you know that your child can't keep up with the progress of other students, you will let her in. That will hurt her. You will explain the pros and cons to them. If they insist on asking their children to enter Wenhua Hall, you agree. If you fail three times, you will let them drop out of school."

Xiaoyu felt a little embarrassed and said, "It's a bad reputation once you drop out of school."

Unless there is an accident or a change of mind, others will doubt your ability and character after dropping out of school, and it will be difficult to talk about a marriage that is of a good match in the future.

Qingshu said lightly: "So in addition to explaining the pros and cons to the parents, we also have to tell the child about the consequences. If the child himself insists on entering the school, no one will blame him for being dropped out of school in the future."

"It's a child after all."

Qingshu shook his head and said, "Xiaoyu, I'm already in charge of being eight or nine years old. By the way, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you open the door of convenience because of pity for them, you can't be the position of the mountain chief."

Xiaoyu turned his head suddenly and looked at her.

"You should know that Yi An wants to get more women into the government, just like me. Wenhua Hall gathers most of the world's extremely intelligent girls, and she will definitely choose talents from it in the future. You must dare to cheat, even if you have a good relationship, Yi An will definitely dismiss you."

Xiaoyu's face froze. From the founding of Wenhuatang to the present, the successive mountain chiefs have abdicated and made no one of them dismissed. She doesn't want to set a precedent.

Thinking of this, Xiaoyu said seriously: "Don't worry, if you want to enter Wenhua Hall, you have to take the exam. No matter who it is, no exception."

It is a trivial matter that you can't be the chief of Wenhua Hall, but it would be too shameful to be dismissed and you will be embarrassed to go out in the future.

Qingshu nodded and said, "That's right."

The two walked to a crabapple tree and sat down. Qingshu asked, "I want to visit the eldest princess tomorrow morning, but I don't know if Fang is inconvenient."

"Convenient, convenient. My grandmother will definitely be happy to see you."

Speaking of the eldest princess, Xiaoyu's face was full of smiles: "My grandmother now is just a variety of flowers and teasing birds every day. I don't know how comfortable it is! I will be like her when I get old in the future."

Qingshu also admired the eldest princess very much. She never took care of the matter since she stepped down. What’s more important is that she never interfered in the affairs of the Duke’s Mansion, and she didn’t care even if the trouble broke out.

Qingshu chuckled and said, "If you want to be like the eldest princess, you have to rebuild it."

"What do you mean?"

Qingshu said without hesitation: "Can you wait like the eldest princess and ignore your children's and grandchildren's affairs when you get old? Even if your children and grandchildren ask for help, you can ignore it."

Xiaoyu's temperament cannot do it at all, so she may only worry about her life when she gets old. However, most of the elders are like this, but there are very few open-minded princesses. Maybe because she is open-minded, she is almost eighty and still so strong.

Xiaoyu was speechless.

Qingshu smiled and said, "Next spring will be the 80th birthday of the eldest princess. You have to prepare for this birthday gift."

Even she has to start thinking about gifts.

Xiaoyu said happily: "I'm already preparing. But my grandmother was so furious that she was so furious that she was reluctant to do it. She said that her family would just have a meal, and she didn't know if my parents could convince her."

Qingshu laughed and said, "Uncle and aunt will definitely not be able to convince her, but it is possible if the emperor and the queen come forward to persuade her."

Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "It's rare to live a long life in eighty years. My parents will definitely persuade her. If it really doesn't work, I'll go and ask the Queen for help."

The two chatted for half an hour and Qingshu yawned. She had the habit of napping a nap and was not energetic if she didn't sleep until she was too busy. So no matter how busy Qingshu was, she would have to take a nap even if she was too busy and had no time to sleep.

Seeing that she was so sleepy, Xiaoyu asked her to go back to sleep and went home.

After a nap, Qingshu took his two children to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. When he arrived, he found that Mrs. Wu had gone to Lingshan Temple early in the morning to burn incense. The old Duke also went there, and now the only one left in the family is the Grandma and Brother Ye.

The lady's memory is getting worse and worse. She doesn't know who it is when she sees Qingshu.

The mother beside her said, "Don't blame me, second aunt, my ancestors only remembered the old Duke, his wife and the old servants in the mansion since March. The younger generation doesn't remember it, and the young master doesn't even know him."

Qingshu felt sour, but he was still patient and chatted with the wife. He said it was a chat, but he heard from the wife that he was talking about when he was young.

When she left the Duke's Mansion, Qingshu felt heavy. People all age for a day, and she didn't know what she would be like when she got old. If her relatives didn't know her, she would rather not live long.

Not long after he got home, Fu Jingen came back. When he saw Qingshu, he asked anxiously: "How many days do you have to go back to the yamen to work as a servant?"

Qingshu nodded and said, "Yes, how do you know about this?"

"Don't worry about how I know. How can you go back to work as a servant during your filial piety period?"

Qingshu said helplessly: "It's not that I want to agree, it's the emperor who wants me to be reinstated. Can I still refuse?"

If you fail to obey the order, you will lose your official position at the least and you will be sentenced to prison.
