Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 390 There is a problem

Thinking of this, Emperor Jingming, who was a little hesitant at first, immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I think it's a good idea too. This time you should focus on investigation. You should bring a few more skilled people with good skills and focus on safety. You are lucky, you are thick-skinned and can do anything. Lord Ye has always been spoiled and has never suffered. You must take good care of him on the road."

The best kind is the one that you take care of and fall in love with over time, and then hold a wedding with right after you come back.

Although this was a bandit suppression mission, in fact, after the earthquake, the first thing Emperor Jingming thought of was the large amount of property in the Qianqing Palace. As soon as the earthquake ended, he sent people to guard the area. Although the former dynasty did not pose a threat now, their presence there was still unpleasant.

I feel relieved that everything has been cleared, but unfortunately the people caught are either tough or don’t know much.

After a few days of interrogation, we found out that their lair seemed to be in Qingsong Town. They were still bandits. Although they were not rampant, they were also well-known. However, there were continuous mountains near Qingsong Town, and the dense trees and complex terrain made it a good hiding place. In addition, they had been there for a long time and were familiar with the terrain, so it was not easy to capture them all.

But now that we have the clues, there is no reason to let them go, and it will also prevent them from doing bad things secretly and causing trouble for the court at any time.

Emperor Jingming had not originally planned to let Yun Qinghan go this time. After all, Yun Qinghan's purpose of coming back this time was very clear, which was to get married. The candidate had not been decided yet, so how could he let him go out? If Anyang knew about this, he would definitely write to him and cry to him again.

Besides, he also wanted Qinghan to get married soon! He had only one nephew, and he had raised him personally, so he was anxious!

Moreover, he also heard that the general's wife had started taking Lord Ye to look for a girl, so why couldn't the candidate be his own nephew?

As for Daning's lucky star, he was a little worried if she went to another family. She is just right for Qinghan. The master said that we should let nature take its course. If they fall in love, it will be natural. There is no reason for him to break them up, right?

If Qinghan goes with Lord Ye this time, in addition to wanting them to develop feelings for each other, Shu Xiaoxiao's special perception of the mountains and forests may help them find the group of people faster.

As for safety, it's a matter of bringing more people with you. With Lord Ye's various strange medicinal powders, it would be good if others don't worry about your safety when you go out.

Seeing his uncle agree so readily this time, Yun Qinghan was a little confused. Didn’t the emperor refuse to agree before and threatened that if he wanted to leave, he had to choose a girl to marry. What happened to make him change his mind so quickly?

He always felt that there was something he didn't know, and it might be very important to him. Yun Qinghan frowned and thought.

But seeing that the emperor still had things to do, Yun Qinghan could only take his leave.

The emperor raised his head and frowned at his nephew's back. Was there something he forgot to tell him?

Forget it, since I forgot, it means it’s not important. I’d better review these memorials first.

"Do you have to go?" Ye Xue Ning looked at her daughter who was bowing her head in front of her, feeling a little headache. Why should a girl go to fight bandits? But now her daughter is a marquis, so it is normal for her to go to fight bandits. With Prince Yun accompanying her, she will definitely be gilded. If the third son went, she would be happy to celebrate, but this is a girl! She would feel distressed if she got bumped.

Although she could find more people to protect her, her daughter was so old now and she hadn't found a son-in-law she liked. What would she do when she got married? In addition, she had just proved to everyone that her daughter had recovered her health, and several families wanted to get in touch with her.

Now that my daughter has left, I can't still claim to be sick. Is this sickly image going to be imprinted on me? It was okay before, but now it's really hard to find someone if I claim to be sick! Now Ye Xue Ning really regrets that her daughter disguised herself as a man.

"Mom, I just want to go out and see the world. You may have forgotten that there are a lot of people protecting me. I will definitely come back safely." Shu Xiaoxiao just thought that her mother was worried about her safety.

Ye Xue Ning sighed: "It's good that you don't mind the hard work. Xiaoxiao, have you seen any young master who looks good these days? Mother can help you keep an eye on him. Otherwise, if you come back and others talk about him, it won't be good, don't you think?"

Ye Xue Ning asked tentatively. She saw her daughter attending many banquets these days. No matter whether it was men's or women's clothing, as long as she liked it, it would be fine! She could arrange the marriage first or reveal her intention, so that both families would know what was going on and she would feel relieved.

Shu Xiaoxiao:..............

This marriage urging is very tactful!

"Mother, I don't think this is urgent. I haven't even set my sights on those young masters in Kyoto. Mother, think about how strict the rules are in these mansions. In our mansion, it's because you understand the big picture that the sisters-in-law have an easy life. If I marry into another family, my mother-in-law will set rules for me. When others rest, I fan them; when others eat, I pick up dishes; when others drink tea, I serve water."

"Mom, if that's the case, are you willing to do it?"

Shu Xiaoxiao asked seriously. What she said was not an exaggeration. Modern daughters-in-law can fight back against unkind mothers-in-law, but in ancient times, they could only accept it. If the mother-in-law liked you, it would be fine. But if she disliked you, your life would be harder than that of a maid. You had to serve her from morning to night, and you could only eat what the mother-in-law left over. You could not resist, otherwise you would be unfilial, which is a serious crime nowadays. Not only would you be disgraced, but the whole family would be disgraced.

Don't think that marrying into a wealthy family will bring you a life of luxury. Rich families have more rules and many of their methods will make you suffer in silence and you can only endure it slowly.

Over the years, Shu Xiaoxiao has become accustomed to the various rules and customs of ancient times. In addition, her high status allows her to integrate well into the society. However, the only issue she faces is the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Shu Xiaoxiao feels suffocated when she thinks about it. She cannot persuade herself to accept it, let alone integrate into the society at all.

The modern battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is impossible here. Even if the daughter-in-law shows a little resistance, the mere fact of disrespecting the mother-in-law will be enough to suffocate you.

In history, many princesses had to suffer grievances after getting married, not to mention ordinary noble ladies. Divorce here is even more impossible.

It would be better if you marry a good man. If he doesn't know how to be considerate, then you can only endure it slowly. Not only do you have to endure the torture from your mother-in-law, but you also have to endure your husband's wives and concubines, as well as illegitimate sons and daughters. To be more casual here, in modern times, you will get a divorce without any negotiation. Here, you can only endure it slowly, because everyone has been through this, and you don't even have the mentality to resist.

People say that getting married is a woman's second reincarnation. In modern times, you can also check the specific situation of the family you are reincarnated into. You can observe more. In this way, many people accidentally fall into the fire pit.

In this age of parental orders and matchmaker words, the possibility of jumping into a fire pit is greater. In fact, most of the time, there are fire pits. The only difference may be the size of the fire pit!

Although Shu Xiaoxiao has no ability to change this situation, she can prevent herself from falling into this predicament, otherwise she doesn't know what she can do at that time.

Having enjoyed the freedom of life, she didn't think she could endure that kind of suffering, nor did she want to experience it. After seeing so much of this, she was always grateful that she had chosen to dress up as a man, which gave her other options and she didn't have to enter that quagmire against her will.

Ye Xue Ning hesitated: "Then...then you can't not get married!"

She also knew what her daughter said, but wasn't it the same in every family? She could try to find a kind family for her daughter, with a loving husband and a sensible mother-in-law. That should be much better, right?

"Mom, I'm not saying I won't get married, but with my daughter's current status, how is she any worse than those men? Why do you have to make me serve them? Can't you find someone else to accommodate me?"

"I would rather find an ordinary person. He doesn't need to have great abilities, as long as he can recognize his position. Mother, I can get married and have children, but I don't want to serve others, and then watch my husband have three wives and four concubines, and I have to swallow my anger and take care of them. Mother, the strong are respected, and I am strong, so I should be respected. My Marquis was earned by my own ability. I am no worse than those men, and they are not worthy of me being humbled."

Ye Xue Ning took a deep breath and said, "It's my fault for not thinking things through. Now that you've grown up, do what you want. If you meet a man you like, tell me and I'll prepare a wedding for you!"

Although her husband didn't have three wives and four concubines, he also knew the pain of those wives. She couldn't believe how miserable she would be if her husband really took a concubine one day! Such a scene was heartbreaking to think about.

In the general's mansion, she can choose not to ask her child to take a concubine, but what about other mansions? Can she still ask her son-in-law to have only a daughter?

If her daughter really marries a husband like this, would she have the heart to let her suffer the pain that she herself has not experienced?

She had overlooked the fact before that the world has always been unfair to women. Since her daughter was capable of not suffering this, why did she force her daughter to suffer this?

Be it an ordinary man or a male favorite found by the husband, as long as the daughter is capable, the son-in-law will not dare to be unfaithful in the future. However, it is not necessarily the case for these young masters of aristocratic families. I heard that many of them now have maids who sleep with them in the same room with them. Will they have fewer concubines in the future?

If there is a chance, she naturally hopes that her daughter will have a husband who is loyal to her. If not, her daughter should not suffer this hardship. What her daughter said is right. With her ability, if the future husband is good, then she can live a good life with him. If not, then her daughter should be in control of the direction of things.

Their general's mansion does not need to form an alliance to expand its power. She was just impatient before. As long as the person is good and has a similar status, it's not bad either.

"I know that mother is doing this for my own good. When I go out this time, I might bring you a good son-in-law. And there are father and second brother. They said they want to find a male lover for me, so you don't have to worry about me not being able to get married."

Ye Xue Ning couldn't help laughing immediately: "Don't listen to your father's nonsense, what male favorite or not, it's better for you to find a husband who treats you well and live a good life, we can't be unfaithful."

At most, if this one doesn’t work, you can change to the next one.

"Okay, I understand, mother. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you!"

"Yeah." Ye Xue Ning nodded. As long as her daughter didn't suffer any loss, everything was fine!

As for this trip, since my daughter has her own plans, it would be good for her to go and gain some experience!

Before setting out, Shu Xiaoxiao thought about it and decided not to bring Yu Xing'er with her. After all, they were on a business trip to suppress bandits, and it would not look good to bring a maid with them. Zhenzhu was good at fighting, so it was reasonable to bring her along, but as for Yu Xing'er, even if she was a cook, it would not look good, as she was too greedy for pleasure and could be easily impeached.

Of course, since she left, Yu Xing'er's stall could no longer be set up. She just went back to the academy to help, and there must be a lot of help needed in the reconstruction of the academy. I heard that someone had gone to the emperor to report her for doing business, which damaged the image of an official. Anyway, the stall could not be continued, at least she could no longer set up a stall in the palace.

The same goes for going back to the academy to see that the courtyard where they live is being repaired. Her courtyard must have swings, lounge chairs and other things.

As for their meals on the road, they had to bring more food with them. Before setting off, Shu Xiaoxiao even asked someone to bring over all the storable things that Fang Yuchu had made before, so that they could eat conveniently on the road.

Pearl looked at her young master who wanted to load everything onto the carriage and reminded him quietly, "Young master, my cooking skills are really limited. I'm afraid these won't taste very good!"

She is good at doing manual labor, but her cooking is really average. She doesn't even have one-tenth of Yu Xing'er's skills. Isn't it a waste to move so many ingredients?

Shu Xiaoxiao glanced at Huo Feng who was standing behind Senior Brother Yun, and said in a voice that seemed low but could actually be heard: "It's okay, Guard Huo's cooking skills are very good. With him around, what delicious food can't he make?"

Huo Feng:..............

So they were waiting here. No wonder they didn't bring Miss Xing'er. No one wants to eat dry food when there is delicious food. But seeing that his own prince didn't react, Huo Feng looked up at the sky silently. Whether to do it or not depends on what their prince says. He also needs to obey orders!

"Huo Feng, go help Lord Ye move some things!" Yun Qinghan said.

Huo Feng: “Yes!”

Shu Xiaoxiao was so happy that she burst into laughter!

Zhenzhu also moved the dishes that she felt were more difficult to make into the carriage. Her young master loved gourmet food, and since there was someone who could cook, she could prepare more ingredients.

Before, they went from Qinglian Village to Kyoto. They were in a hurry and the dry food they had along the way was really despairing. Since they had a cook, they naturally had to bring more ingredients.

Two days later, a group of dozens of people set out quickly. They went to investigate first. As for the troops, Yun Qinghan had a token with him. As long as they were sure that they needed to take action, they could mobilize the nearby troops with the token. There was really no need for them to engage in intensive investigation at this time.
