Chapter 34: The Filial Play of Motherly Love and Daughterly Piety
Old Master Yao nodded thoughtfully and sighed lightly, "Yes, you're right. Zan's body is indeed too weak. It's time to invite a martial arts master to teach him martial arts. If nothing else, it'll be good for strengthening his body!"
Yao Cun Hui hastened to say: "Since Father also thinks this is a good idea, why not post the notice in the next two days and find a suitable candidate? Moreover," Yao Cun Hui paused, looking at Old Master Yao with a half-bright and half-dim expression, continuing: "Zan'er will be eleven years old after the New Year, he's not a child anymore. It's not good for him to have only maids serving him, I think it's time to add two clever young servants by his side!"
Old Master Yao's eyes suddenly flashed and he hastily asked: "Could it be that the maid in Feng Ming Xuan has had some improper thoughts?"
Originally, in a wealthy family like the Yao's, after the independent courtyard was divided, there should be servants serving beside the young masters. However, Yao Shizan had been ill and spent more than half of his day lying down, rarely leaving his room for several days. As a result, only Yatou served him, without any male servant.
"There's nothing to it, Father is worrying too much! Hui'er was just thinking that in the future, Zan'er will also have people by her side, and now that they've added someone, the master and servant can get familiar with each other early on, which will be beneficial for Zan'er in the future!"
Mr. Yao finally put his mind at ease, but he was still secretly on guard, and it wasn't until now that he felt the maid from Mingfeng Pavilion seemed a bit too beautiful.
Mr. Yao couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with Ma, thinking that when his son grew up, he wouldn't stop him from taking concubines, but if at a young age he was seduced by a fox spirit and became infatuated with beauty, losing all ambition, that was something he absolutely would not permit!
Those two girls will be taught a lesson when they get back, and made to understand what is right and wrong.
Mr. Yao thought deeply in secret.
"It's all thanks to Hui'er's thoughtfulness, always considering everything for Zan'er! Zan'er is lucky to have a sister like you, and Father can rest assured!" Old Master Yao sighed lightly, with a hint of reproach: "These days, your leg injury has healed, why don't you go visit Rongfeng Hall? Zan'er has always been close to you, who knows how much he misses you! Your older sister is about to get married and still needs to return to her room to embroider her dowry. From tomorrow on, it's still up to you to take care of Zan'er!"
This is her ultimate goal for seeking out her father today! The heart that Yao Cun Hui had raised finally fell back down, calm and steady.
"Yes, Father. Hui'er will take good care of Zan'er and won't disappoint your expectations!" Yao Cunhui stood up to respond, with a respectful and gentle attitude.
"Alright, alright! There's no need for such formalities between family members! Don't disappoint your old man again!" Old Master Yao chuckled and raised his hand.
"Don't worry, Dad!" Yao Cunhui smiled awkwardly, her slender neck bowed down, with a delicate and tender appearance.
What a father and daughter! Yao Cunhui's palm tightened, and this remark coming from his mouth was truly ironic!
Coming out of the study, the bright sunlight poured in all directions. Yao Cunhui slightly narrowed her eyes, raised her hand to shield her forehead, and let out a gentle sigh, her mood suddenly brightening up as well.
She knew that she had not only passed a level, but also moved forward. She was fighting and constantly winning, even if it was just a small step forward, but still moving forward, wasn't she?
She always puts Zaner first in everything, even when she's ill, she considers a lot for him; She also attaches great importance to her father's opinions and feelings, she acknowledges her mistakes calmly, after such a big thing happened, without her father's permission, she didn't take a step towards Mingfeng Pavilion, until he allowed it. How many daughters can do like her? He can't ignore her even if he wants to!
"Second Miss!" Hong Lian, who was waiting under the tree shade, saw her come out safely, with a calm and composed expression. Overjoyed, she rushed over to support her arm. The two exchanged a knowing smile.
"Let's go back!" Yao Cunhui smiled, her eyebrows relaxed.
"Wait, Second Miss," Old Hong suddenly rushed out of the study room, holding a can of tea leaves with both hands and handed it to Yao Cunhui with a smile: "This is top-grade Bi Luo Chun, Master had it specially sent for Second Miss!"
"Trouble you, Uncle Hong. Please help me thank Father!" Yao Cunhui smiled and personally took over, bowing his head to thank Uncle Hong before leaving.
Hong Shu stood in the courtyard for a long time, until her slender figure disappeared around the corner before he smiled lightly and withdrew his gaze.
Having followed the old master for so many years, he had never seen him treat any young lady like this before. He didn't think that Second Miss would be so kind-hearted and skilled, turning from a prisoner to a pampered child in the blink of an eye, and one that the old master held in high regard at that!
"Second Miss, I'll accompany you to the Phoenix Pavilion to see Young Master and Eldest Miss!" Hong Lian said eagerly as soon as they returned to the Luomei Courtyard.
Others don't know, but Hong Ye and Rong Ma are very clear that these days, Yao Cunhui has been thinking about Yao Shizan a lot.
"No, help me change and wash up first, I want to go pay respects to Mother first." Yao Cun Hui shook her head.
Today is the first time I've gone out since my leg injury healed, after seeing Father, it's only natural to go see Mother. Moreover, she also has a few points of eagerness to see what kind of expression Ma will have when she sees that her leg is perfectly fine!
Yao Cunhui's mouth corners slightly curled up, and he glanced over at Hong Zhi with a hint of a smile.
This girl is indeed loyal, and has carried forward the spirit of not being afraid of dirt or bitterness. Every day, she actively competes to apply medicine for her. Whenever she sees her finish applying the medicine once, with a look of relief, Yao Cun Hui can't help but secretly laugh. She doesn't know that this ointment wasn't sent by Ma Shi at all, but was secretly delivered by Shen Que every time.
Hongzhi was staring at the can of tea leaves that Yao Cunhui had brought back, and seemed to have noticed someone looking at her. She suddenly turned around and met Yao Cunhui's gaze, Hongzhi's heart tightened, and she forced a smile: "Second Miss is going to pay respects to the madam, which set of clothes should I get?"
Yao Cun Hui Feng blinked her eyes lightly, withdrew her gaze, and smiled as she said: "First put away this can of tea leaves properly, it's the top-grade Bi Luo Chun that Father specially rewarded us with, be careful! As for clothes, just take some simple and elegant ones!"
"Yes, Second Miss." Hongzhi lowered her eyelids in response and took away the tea jar.
Scallion yellow bottom, Songhua green bamboo leaf crimson autumn chrysanthemum scattered flower satin collar long jacket, ivory white satin middle garment, light blue hundred fold skirt, waist tied with scallion green handkerchief, elegant and just right with a touch of charm. The oily hair bun was adorned with small pomegranate red gemstone beads, both cheeks lightly applied with rouge, lips not painted but red, eyebrows not drawn but green, a pair of autumn water eyes, skin crystal clear and smooth, faintly radiant, Yao Cun Hui wore a red lotus, red branch, together towards the main courtyard of Ma's residence.
Yao Cunhui's kneeling outside Yao Lao Ye's study had already reached Madam Ma's ears. Madam Ma secretly approved in her heart. Later, she heard that Yao Lao Ye called Yao Cunhui into the house, and the father-daughter duo talked for a long time without knowing what they were saying. When Yao Cunhui left, Old Hong personally saw him out of the door, and Madam Ma's heart was no longer calm.
Madam Ma was giving orders to the housekeeper when she heard that Yao Cunhui had come to see her. After a brief pause, she told Mingxia to take Yao Cunhui to the flower hall to wait first, and then she would go over after finishing her tasks.
"Second sister is here!" Ma Shi hadn't arrived yet, but Yao Cunmei and Ma Qunfang had already come. Yao Cunmei's face wore a courteous smile, her eyes shining brightly as she sized up Yao Cunhui from head to toe.
"Third sister, cousin!" Yao Cunhui smiled slightly and nodded, greeting the two of them.
"It's been a few days since we last met, and Second Sister's complexion is even better than before. With this dressing up, she looks even more beautiful than before!" Ma Qunfang glanced over with a smile of praise.
Yao Cun's eyes sparkled slightly as she gazed at Ma Qunfang, smiling and saying: "Really? I don't think I've changed much myself, but my cousin is getting more and more eloquent!"
Ma Qunfang seemed to be in a daze, with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face, but then she smiled and said: "I should have gone to see my cousin myself earlier, but I was afraid of disturbing her while she's recovering! That day... it was really lucky that my cousin has such good fortune and a strong life, and recovered so quickly!"
Yao Cunhui's palm tightened, and her face almost changed color. The people of the Ma family are not good things! It was obviously Ma Qunfang who made a ghost, but she still said such words in front of her as if nothing had happened. Was she trying to test her? This person's heart is more vicious than the Ma family, and each has its own merits!
Yao Cunmei immediately let out a snort of laughter and said, "Elder sister, I told you that you're worrying for nothing. The person's life is cheap - ah no, it's not cheap, it's hardy, so naturally there won't be any problem! Isn't that right, second elder sister? I made a slip of the tongue just now, second elder sister don't get angry with me!"
Yao Cun Hui smiled and said, "Third sister is right, fortunately I have a hard life! Having a hard life also has its good side! I am the most believing in fate, this is called heaven has eyes, the heavenly net is loose but not leaky, it is also said that all things good or evil will be rewarded in the end. Third sister, cousin, do you believe in fate?"
Yao Cunhui's eyes gleamed brightly, as if she had swept a glance over Ma Qunfang, who stiffened and smiled silently with her head bowed.
Yao Cunmei was taken aback and couldn't help but hum again, "It's been a few days since we last met, and Second Sister's words are getting more and more profound and mysterious!"
Yao Cunhui smiled slightly, lowered his head and sipped the tea in his hand, no longer speaking.
Madam Ma arrived, and the three of them hastily stood up to pay their respects.
"Everyone sit down!" Ma raised his hand and sat in the main seat in the middle.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Madam Ma smiled at Yao Cunhui and asked: "Your complexion looks good, your spirit is also good, how's the recovery?"
Yao Cunhui smiled gratefully at Madam Ma and said hastily: "Thank you, Mother, for inviting the doctor to ask about my illness. I've fully recovered now!"
"Is it? That's good!" Ma smiled with relief: "In that case, Mother can rest assured!"
Yao Cunmei couldn't bear to see Yao Cunhui's calm and composed expression, as if nothing could faze her. She couldn't help but jab at her again: "Second sister may have recovered, but after all, it was a serious injury! It's better to be careful and rest well, don't go around kneeling down all the time, or you'll end up crippled! What would mother think if she knew?"
Yao Cun's eyebrows jumped lightly, the two words "cripple" were a nightmare from his past life. Although he had gotten rid of it now, hearing these two words still made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
The red azalea beside her heard this and pursed her lips, also feeling indignant.
