The maid also said it just now, but it was obvious that Zheng Wanxia had a very good relationship with her grandmother. Unexpectedly, a topic she had just changed mentioned Zheng Wanying's sadness. Xu Shu suddenly became embarrassed and thought to herself that she would rather not speak. To be honest, she is indeed not good at greetings with others, and exposing her shortcomings is what she is good at!

Fortunately, Mrs. Zheng Si saved her soon. After Mrs. Zheng Si finished speaking with Chen, she guessed that Xu Shu had said almost the same thing, so she called Xu Shu back.

On the way, Mrs. Zheng Si explained the whole story to Xu Shu, "This spring, Sister Ying'er's mother suffered from a serious illness, and this disease came from strange things!"

"What a weird way?"

Mrs. Zheng Si whispered, "At first I thought it was smallpox!"

Smallpox! Xu Shu was shocked. It was really a serious illness. People with smallpox have almost no chance of survival. Even if they recovered by chance, they would leave pitted marks on their faces. It was just now that Chen's face was pale, but it was smooth and had no traces. Mrs. Zheng Si also said that at first it was smallpox, but it seemed that it was not...

"Yes! At the beginning, Sister Ying'er's mother had a high fever, felt weak, headache, soreness, and even had a coma. All of this was exactly the same as when smallpox disease occurred! In this peaceful and prosperous era, smallpox was out of the country, and no one dared to say anything. Even the imperial doctor did not allow her to invite her. The old lady felt that it was an ominous sign that she had contracted the epidemic for no reason, and she refused to lend a helping hand... She could survive it all depends on her blessing and life!" Mrs. Zheng Si sighed, full of emotion.

"What disease did the eldest lady have?"

Mrs. Zheng Si shook her head, "I don't know, even she doesn't know, and suddenly she got better. The Western Palace began to prepare for her funeral!"

"Your relationship with the eldest lady seems to be very good!" As Xu Shu saw it, she felt that the relationship between Mrs. Zheng Si and the Chen family was far better than that with Mrs. Zheng San.

"That's right! Like her, I am thousands of miles away from home and married to the capital. I feel sick and feel close to each other, so I am naturally closer to others. Besides, she is really gentle and feels more comfortable getting along with each other. Although she is separated from the two palaces, she occasionally interacts with each other!"

Mrs. Zheng Si specifically emphasized the softness of "real" and it can be seen that Mrs. Zheng Si also knew Mrs. Zheng San's true nature. Even if she looked simple and leisurely on the surface, her heart was as transparent as a mirror.

"What do you think of Sister Ying?" asked Mrs. Zheng Si.

Xu Shu replied, "A person who is just like her mother is also extremely gentle!"

Mrs. Zheng Si smiled and said, "The population of Xifu is simple and there is less intrigue. The child's personality is indeed simpler than that in our mansion. I think if you are bored in the future, you can also go and play with her!"

"I don't feel bored!"

The smile on Mrs. Zheng Si's face stopped and she sighed in her heart, but she didn't force herself, "It's good if you don't feel bored! I'm afraid of being bored!"

"I don't feel bored with my mother with me!" Xu Shu hugged Mrs. Zheng Si's arm coquettishly.

Mrs. Zheng Si looked at Xu Shu helplessly, and suddenly remembered something, "While your sixth brother and seventh brother are at home now, they will also let them teach you to read. I know that although you used to be aware of writing, it is always not harmful to read more books, so as not to be stuck in the house all day long!"

"Didn't my mother praise me for writing well last time?"

"That's another matter!" Mrs. Zheng Si had made up her mind, "From tomorrow, I will let your sixth brother and seventh brother take turns to teach you. They can take this opportunity to review the book. This will kill two birds with one stone, and it will be cheaper!"

Seeing that acting cute was useless, Xu Shu honestly endured it. Thinking of Young Master Zheng Liu's thought of having a lot of worries, Cai Zhenzhen was so obsessed with no way out and refused to complain. She would not tell her if she learned or did not learn from Young Master Zheng Liu. As for Young Master Zheng Qi, it would be nice to not take her to make trouble. Studying... forget it!

Sure enough, the next day, Young Master Zheng Liu came to Haitang Pavilion with a book in his arms.

Yinzhi was attentively greeting the house from the gate of the yard. Without waiting for instructions, she took the initiative to make the tea that Master Zheng Liu liked the most. Xu Shu just thought that she didn't see Yinzhi's attentiveness, glanced at the book that Master Zheng Liu put on the table, and her eyes were about to pop out of her sockets.

Young Master Zheng Liu actually brought a thousand-character text here!

The Thousand Characters are books when children were in their innocence, and Young Master Zheng Liu brought such a book. I wonder if it is really pedantic and thought that teaching people to start with the most basic teaching, or should I take this opportunity to mock Xu Shu for being uninformed?

Compared to Master Zheng Qi's self-cultivation, Master Zheng Liu was much more restrained. After drinking tea, he moistened his throat and spoke in a stern manner, "Mother ordered me to teach you... Jiu Mei reads and recognizes words! You must not be lazy for an hour every day!"

"It's my fault for Brother Liu!" Xu Shuyou arranged the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in a decent manner, waiting to listen to Young Master Zheng Liu's teachings.

Xu Shu was so formal. Young Master Zheng Liu was about to speak when he suddenly saw a half-new and old collection of general history in Xu Shu. However, the Thousand-word text in his hand suddenly couldn't take it out. He coughed uneasyly, "What book are Jiu Mei reading now?"

Sure enough, I saw Xu Shu pointing to the complete collection of general history beside her, "I have read a little bit!"

Young Master Zheng Liu pinched the thousand-character text in his hand and felt it became hot. After a long time, he finally took it out, "This is the first book my father gave me when I was in trouble. Today I will give it to Jiu Mei!"

"Thank you, Brother Six!" Xu Shu took it with a smile.

After the book was sent out, Master Zheng Liu let out a sigh of relief, his whole body relaxed, and his expression became natural. He picked up the full collection of Xu Shu who had read half of the general history and explained it eloquently.

Master Zheng Liu is good at studying, so it is naturally impossible to deal with him. An hour passed quickly, and Master Zheng Liu did not stay much, and he left when he got some point.

Xu Shu glanced at Yinzhi, who had been staring at Master Zheng Liu who was obsessed with him, and said loudly, "Yinzhi, send my brother back for me. When she comes back, she will go to the plum garden to pick a few plum blossoms and put them in a bottle!"

Meiyuan is a long way from Haitang Pavilion, which means Yinzhi sent Master Zheng Liu to a long way. Yinzhi happily agreed, "Please invite Master Liu!"

Yuzhu watched Yinzhi considerately putting on Young Master Zheng Liu, gently smoothing every wrinkle on her clothes, and not even letting go of a grain of dust on her boots. Yinzhi didn't care so carefully about Xu Shu...

The words Xu Shu said to her that day were still echoing in Yuzhu's mind. People of their backgrounds were definitely not the best way out to be concubines. No, for all women, being concubines is the choice of the poor. Miss Zheng Ba claimed to be deeply in love and only asked for love and not for fame, but in this world, fame is much more important than fame.
