The Ups and Downs of Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 7 Birthday Coincidence
The next day, Master Shang Shu didn't go to the morning court, but stayed at home. Fang Xiuyi couldn't go out, but she was in a hurry, because the private school teacher that Boss Qian made an appointment for her was in the morning.

"Sandong, I have an appointment with someone this morning. I met a private school teacher to let the children go to school, but the adults are at home today, can I go out for a while?" Fang Xiuyi was a little anxious, who knew that the plan could not keep up with the changes.

"Go to school?" Sandong was a little surprised. Most families don't let their children go to school, and the cost is too high. "Are both children going?"

"Yes, I am illiterate, but I can't let the children be like me in the future."

"I'll ask my lord if I have any other orders." Originally, he could directly refuse the matter of a cook, but my lord likes this cook's craftsmanship very much, and Mrs. Fang is very well-behaved, maybe my lord will allow it , let alone the big event of going to school.

Fang Xiu was eager to follow San Dong, but held back her steps, time seemed to be slow, and finally saw San Dong walking over.

"You go, come back to cook at noon." Sandong was also happy for Fang Xiuyi.

"Okay, I know. Please thank you sir for me." In fact, Fang Xiuyi has fully felt what they said in the past few months, this Lord Shangshu is very good, and it is true.

Fang Xiuyi told Fei Yu and Si Yuan last night to pack up this morning and go to see her husband, so she could take them out as soon as she got back.

"When I see you later, you must be polite, and you can answer whatever you ask. Do you understand?" In this era, the relationship between teachers and students is very important. It is very important to have a good teacher and a few good brothers.

"Got it, mother."

Fang Xiuyi looked at the two little babies. Feiyu was wearing a blue robe, and Siyuan was wearing a blue robe. Recently, under Fang Xiuyi's deliberate guidance, the two children have been exercising and have become stronger. A little bit, and her skin color is a little bit darker. She doesn't want the two children to look amazing, and she really can't bear it.
In the spring, the private school just opened for classes. The husband is not like a teacher, but more like a person of spiritual practice, with a spirit of immortality.The expression is indifferent, I don't know if it's because of my nature, or because I just read people's words.He asked a few questions, looked at the two children, and even asked Fang Xiuyi a few questions, let the child try to write a few words, recite a passage of "The Analects of Confucius", and then decided to accept it.

"Fei Yu, Siyuan, quickly kowtow to the teacher!" Fang Xiu saw that the teacher looked good, at least not annoying, and the one introduced by Boss Qian should not be much different.

Wen Xiandao was saluted by the two children, "Good boy, get up. I think your mother is a knowledgeable person. Studying is very hard work. If you want to get grades, you have to pay more than others. effort."

The child and Fang Xiu repeatedly said yes and thanked each other.

"Sir, I would like to ask, is there a unified pick-up for the students here in the school?" The Shangshu Mansion is relatively close to the Imperial Palace, in the northeast of the city, and this private school is in the southwest of the city. It is a bit far away. Fang Xiuyi has no time to pick him up, but he is worried about the children. walk on my own.

"On the contrary, two children hired a carriage to pick them up every day. The coachman is also an old friend. I asked him to come over and see you."

The coachman is also an old man, with a stern face, and he seems to be weather-beaten, and he has a limped leg, but he is an old friend of the husband, and his character should be trustworthy.Fang Xiuyi gave the address, but she didn't say that she was in the Shangshu Mansion, she just asked to be picked up at the street corner, which was about 500 meters away from the Shangshu Mansion.

Tuition fee is one tael a month for one person, lunch is two taels a month for one person, and one tael per month for transportation.This cost is not much, mainly because of the high cost of buying paper and books, but since he has embarked on this road, Fang Xiuyi feels that there is no turning back, and now it seems that everything is going smoothly.

After buying some food for the child at noon, she went to cook. As soon as she entered the door, Sandong said happily: "Ms. Fang, my lord has eaten the dim sum you made!"

"Really? How? What did your lord say?"

"Well, it's not bad, it's like a homely meal!" Sandong imitated the adults, "My lord ate four yuan in one sitting."

Fang Xiuyi is more confident now, she will get better and better in the future, the snacks will be delicious, the children will study well, and life will be easier.

Time passed quickly. Fang Xiuyi had been in the mansion for almost four months. The children went to school very smoothly. Every morning, she got up early, cooked and warmed up the meals for the children, and then rushed to the main courtyard to make breakfast for Master Shangshu. After Lord Shangshu went to court, she went back to see off the child, and spent the next day in the main courtyard thinking about what to eat for Shangshu. Although the Lord never asked for anything, she did not dare to slack off at all.After eating at noon, she went back to prepare and warm up dinner for the children, and then rushed back to the main courtyard to cook dinner for the adults. She could not go back until the adults went to bed or San Dong came to talk.The children are very self-conscious and eat hot meals by themselves every day, and finish homework by themselves, especially Siyuan, who not only completes homework by himself, but also tutors Fei Yu, because Fei Yu sometimes can't remember so much.Fang Xiuyi realized that he hadn't had a good chat with the child for a long time, and he didn't even have time for the story at night, so he could only touch the child's face and kiss him over and over again when he came back at night.

On April 21st, Sandong said to Fang Xiuyi:
"Ms. Fang, tomorrow is my lord's birthday. I don't plan to make a big mistake, but every year, people will come to give gifts, and people with some friendship will also come to sit. You should prepare well. The dishes must be rich. My lord said that you are now The snacks are good, make more today, and treat guests tomorrow. You have worked hard and you will be here all day tomorrow."

Fang Xiu was stunned, she didn't expect that Master Shangshu's birthday was on the same day as Fei Yu and Siyuan's birthdays, she had already asked her husband for half a day off, and she planned to take half a day off herself, to take the children out for a walk, But now it is such a situation, how disappointed Fei Yu and Si Yuan will be!
"Understood, I will draw up a menu with you later, please take a look at it." In the past four months, Fang Xiuyi has not seen anyone visiting, but it may be that she has never seen it, and it is incredible that she has never I have never seen this Lord Shangshu before, I only know that he is a man, I don’t know anything else, I don’t know his age, height, body size, surname, etc. This kind of employment relationship is really simple and rare .

"Okay, things are also prepared in advance. By the way, the adults said, tomorrow you will be busy all day, and you will not be able to take care of your children. I want me to send you a guard. You will tell him what you will do tomorrow."

Fang Xiuyi refreshed her three views again. Is this employer so considerate?
"No need, it's too much trouble for adults, not to mention the children are timid and haven't dealt with strangers much. I'll just make arrangements for them tomorrow."

"Ms. Fang, you are also a sensible person. I know that the child is young and the mother cares about it. Can adults not know? You won't see the child tomorrow, so you will naturally feel uneasy, but there will definitely be a distinguished guest tomorrow. Can you Are you sure you won't be affected?"

Fang Xiuyi was really taken aback, how could she think so much, she just subconsciously didn't want to trouble others, let alone her boss, but Jing Sandong said this, it turned out that she was not considerate, but was afraid that she might make a mistake.

"Sandong, it's my lack of knowledge, I didn't think so much, and I almost missed the adults' business. Then after the children come back from school, I will go with the guard to meet the children."

"Well, well, you go get ready."

Fang Xiuyi put aside the troubles, didn't think about the child's birthday for the time being, and calmed down to think about how to arrange tomorrow and how to allocate time.Since the adult has always emphasized that what he wants is home-cooked food, and he probably didn't think about asking her to cook something like a man-han banquet, then she will start with home-cooked food. Now that the weather is warm, she can prepare more cold dishes, which are convenient and hot dishes The side dishes are all prepared first, fried at any time, the meat is sliced ​​and cut, ready to use, and the pastry is ready at night.

This day has been the busiest day, exhausted physically and mentally.In the evening, Fang Xiuyi took the guard to bring the child back, and then told them about the situation.

"Can't mother accompany us tomorrow?" Both children were a little disappointed.

"Well, I can't accompany you. But Lord Shangshu sent you an uncle guard to take care of you tomorrow." Fang Xiuyi looked at the guard apologetically, "I made you laugh, children are not sensible, but I still have to trouble you tomorrow gone."

"Don't look outside." Shi Dashan was actually a little reluctant to come here, he hoped to stay with Lord Shangshu all the time, but now he came to take care of the two little carrots, but after seeing these two children, he liked them a little bit.

"Hello, Uncle Shi!" Siyuan and Feiyu greeted Shi Dashan. They also knew the special situation. Just now, their mother hinted that they could not bring up the birthday, so they did not dare to say nonsense, "I am causing you trouble."

"No trouble, hehe." Shi Dashan was a little embarrassed.

"It's like this, Shi Weiwei, the children are not in good health recently. I will take half a day off for them tomorrow afternoon, and I will take them out for a walk, but I can't go out, so please take them out tomorrow."

"Going out?" Shi Dashan didn't expect, didn't it mean that the child would be picked up and taken care of when he went to school, why would he take him for a walk?

"Yes, let's go out for a while." Fang Xiuyi thought, since it's troublesome anyway, why not trouble him to the end.

"Mother, no need, we go to school tomorrow, there is no need to go out." Siyuan could see the embarrassment of others, and didn't want her mother to make it difficult.

Shi Dashan is the most shameful person to be wronged. Although the child doesn't say anything, his expression already tells him that he is very disappointed.

"No problem, I'll take you out. My lord originally said that I'd be transferred here for a day. Just in time, I'll take you out to play. I'm familiar with this capital city. You can go anywhere you want."

"Will it be too much trouble for Guard Shi?"

"What's the trouble? It's just taking care of two children. Besides, tomorrow is your birthday, and you will be very busy."

"Birthday?" Fei Yu asked in surprise.

"Well, it's your birthday tomorrow, so your mother can't accompany you."

Siyuan and Feiyu glanced at each other, then at their mother, and seeing Fang Xiuyi shaking his head, they didn't speak again.

Fang Xiuyi touched the children guiltily. It is really not good to not be able to accompany them on their birthdays, but to take care of other people's birthdays.
