The Ups and Downs of Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 79

Sitting in the carriage, Fang Xiuyi said to He Huai'an apologetically, "My lord, did I not do well today?"

He Huai'an smiled, "Well done! To treat unreasonable people is to be even more unreasonable."

Fang Xiu blushed, it meant she was being unreasonable.But He Huai'an immediately said: "You really did a good job. The eldest princess is used to being arrogant and domineering. After today's incident, she will always be a little jealous of you."

"I don't want people to be afraid of me. Let's have a friendly chat and have a meal. What's wrong, you have to make things difficult for others." Fang Xiu complained, and she was used to acting like a baby in front of He Huai'an. , "I know, these noble ladies think that a villager like me suddenly became a first-rank lady, and they can get whatever they want. They are jealous of me. Now it's all right, and the first-rank is gone."

He Huai'an found that he liked seeing Fang Xiuyi acting like a daughter more and more. For the first time, he took the initiative to hold Fang Xiuyi's hand and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, this first grade will come back sooner or later."

Fang Xiuyi felt that He Huai'an's hand was extremely warm, and it was also very big, able to cover her hand.This was the first time they shook hands, but Fang Xiuyi seemed to miss the point, but said enviously: "My lord, your hands are so beautiful!"

Back in the mansion, He Huai'an summoned the stewards of the mansion and personally issued an order that within a month, no one is allowed to enter or leave the mansion at will, and anyone who violates the rules will be expelled from the mansion without a word.

Fang Xiuyi was talking to the two children. She felt that she had caused the children to suffer, especially Fei Yu, who had just lifted the ban for one month and would have another month soon.

"Mother, did something happen?" Siyuan was a little embarrassed seeing his mother.

"It's like this, honey. From now on, our mansion will be closed for a month, no entry or exit is allowed."

"why?"

Fang Xiu hugged Fei Yu guiltily, and said, "It's all mother's fault. She offended the eldest princess and the emperor today, so she was punished."

The two children had seen Fang Xiuyi's miserable situation before, and immediately asked worriedly: "Mother, are you okay?"

"Mother is fine, I just want to implicate you!"

"Mother, what's wrong with this, I'm too happy. You know, Master told Dad, I can try to take what I have to the shop." Fei Yu immediately said happily.

"Really? Did Master say it's okay?"

"Well, Dad also agreed, and said that he would rent another shop for me."

"Oh, my baby Feiyu, it's really awesome!"

"Then daddy is also in the mansion?" Siyuan asked.

"Yeah, we're all going to be in the mansion."

"That's great! Daddy finally has a lot of time to fight books with me!" Siyuan said, very excited.

"What fighting book?" Fang Xiuyi didn't understand.

"Mom, it's a reading competition between father and brother. One person can say as many pages and lines of a book as he wants, and the other person must be able to recite it, otherwise he will lose."

Fang Xiuyi looked at Siyuan in surprise, and there is such a magical operation!Can the talent of photographic memory be used like this?

This month's closed residence seems to be a great blessing for the four people in the He residence. Everyone is in high spirits. Even He Huai'an showed great relaxation. Every morning, he would fight with Siyuan, Carving with Fei Yu in the afternoon, and playing the piano with the children in the evening, it seems that he wants to make up for all the father's love that was missing in the past few years.

Fang Xiuyi thought it would be good to punish her for copying "The Analects of Confucius". She could just take this opportunity to practice her calligraphy and review her knowledge. She took notes while reading it before, but now it really feels like a lifetime away.As for one hundred jokes, He Huai'an told her not to worry, just write as much as possible, don't need to make up so many jokes, otherwise the emperor would ask her to write two hundred.

Because Mama Shi was there to help, Fang Xiuyi felt that her internal affairs management was easier, and she didn't have to worry about many things, which could be managed by Mama Shi.The two newly transferred maids, Zhaodi and Fengnian, Fang Xiuyi also handed over to Mama Shi to teach them.

Within two days, Fang Xiuyi felt too monotonous.So, she decided to use the river in the mansion to teach Fei Yu to swim.Although it may not be useful, it is also a life-saving skill.He Huai'an had no objection to this. He heard that Fang Xiuyi fell into the water, and his soul was blown away. When he heard that Fang Xiuyi was going to teach Feiyu to swim, he agreed very much, and also decided to let Siyuan learn to swim a month later.

The small river in the mansion is not as spacious as the princess's mansion, but the depth is not bad.After Fang Xiu measured the water depth himself, he spent half an hour swimming every day after the flying feather carving was finished.

Fang Xiuyi's life is really busy, copying books, writing jokes, teaching the rules of the house, teaching Feiyu how to swim, and making clothes. Every day is busy and fulfilling.

On this day, Fang Xiu remembered that she hadn't heard the children play the piano for a long time, and with the dim light, it was not suitable to do anything, so she went to He Huai'an's study, where the children would be there after a walk at night.

When Fang Xiuyi first saw the study room, he heard the sound of the piano. Although he didn't understand it, it sounded very pleasant.When she entered the study, she saw He Huai'an and Fei Yu sitting side by side, each playing a piano, enjoying themselves.

"Mother!" Fei Yu put down the piano.

"Good boy! Why don't you see Siyuan?" It stands to reason that the three of them should be playing the piano together.

Fei Yu didn't speak, but looked at his father.Fang Xiuyi was even more surprised. Could there be something else to hide from her?
"grown ups?"

He Huai'an had no choice but to put down the piano, and helplessly said to Fang Xiuyi: "Siyuan comprehended quickly, so I went to do other things."

"Other things? What is it?" Fang Xiuyi was even more surprised.

When Fang Xiuyi was cooking here, she knew that there seemed to be a yard behind the study, but she didn't know what it was for. Today she finally knew.

Fang Xiuyi was led by He Huai'an to stand at the gate of the courtyard, but did not go in.This yard is very large, larger than He Huai'an's yard.There are houses in the north, east and west. There are many people practicing martial arts in the open space. These are He Huai'an's guards. However, Fang Xiuyi saw Siyuan immediately.

Siyuan was dressed in a bunt, with his arms bare, and was striding in the yard, holding something in both hands, which seemed to be made of iron.From such a long distance, Fang Xiuyi could see the sweat on Siyuan's face and the determination on his face.

Fang Xiuyi didn't bother, she just stood by the door and watched, tears streaming down her face.She knew what Siyuan was thinking, and Feiyu.Both children wanted to protect her, and all the grievances they saw in the past few years became their powerful motivation and reason.

Seeing Fang Xiuyi's tears, He Huaian thought of Siyuan's words.

"Daddy, don't let mother know, or she will definitely cry."

It seems that Siyuan really understands his mother.

Fang Xiuyi kept wiping away her tears, and after watching for a while, she left silently. Since the child didn't want her to know, she should pretend that she didn't know.

"My lord, is the master you found for Siyuan reliable? Don't over-train, or you will be easily injured, and this kind of injury is difficult to recover. Siyuan is still young, so don't get hurt all over. How long has it been?" Fang said Xiuyi choked up and said.

"It's been a month."

"That's good too, boy, you need to be physically stronger. I'll tell the kitchen to make an extra meal for Siyuan tomorrow. Make beef and bone soup, and add milk." Fang Xiuyi also thought about adding milk before. But I don't worry about this kind of unprocessed milk. Now it seems that I am too careful.

"Okay, just figure it out."

"By the way, my lord, since Siyuan can practice martial arts, can Fei Yu also practice it? Girls are weak, and in case of an accident, it's easy to deal with it. No, my lord, I will find a female master for Fei Yu later. It has to be practiced."

"Okay, I'll ask Fei Yu what he means."

Fang Xiu immediately connected Fei Yu with the image of the heroine, and she immediately added a task to herself, which was to sew martial arts clothes for Fei Yu, what color, what style, how many sets to make .She had long forgotten He Huai'an beside her, and was completely immersed in her own imagination
He Huai'an also discovered that as long as it was about children, Fang Xiuyi was always able to give wholeheartedly, without any utilitarianism.This is really a blessing for the two children.

Because everyone had something to do, time passed quickly. The only bad thing was that He Huai'an came back after half a month.I heard that Wen Renyi came to the mansion early in the morning and asked He Huai'an to go back to work.Fang Xiuyi also knew that this might be the emperor's intention, but Wen Renyi came to convey it.

Fang Xiuyi was a little regretful, she felt that she had been living a fairy-like life recently, and she had the idea of ​​never wanting to leave the house.But people can only bow their heads under the low eaves.However, to show her gratitude, she decided to go out and resume her old career as a cook once more.

"It's a pity that my lord will go to court again tomorrow. I think it's good for a family to live so comfortably. However, I also know that it's just a dream. To commemorate the half-month life Make barbecue for everyone!" As a foodie, how can I not think of barbecue.

"What is barbecue, mother?" Fei Yu asked.

"Don't ask too many questions, you will know in the evening. However, I need help from adults." Fang Xiuyi needs to call a few people from He Huai'an to put up airs or something.

"Of course. I would also like to know what a barbecue is."

Because the house rules had just been taught, Fang Xiuyi also had plenty of time to prepare for the barbecue.She commanded several cooks in the mansion to cut pork, mutton, and beef into small pieces, and then skewered them with iron skewers.Because it was a temporary idea and there was no suitable lottery, Fang Xiuyi asked Shi Dashan and others to cut off the iron ring.

The barbecue stand is set up in the main courtyard, and the fire has been started early, with a wooden shelf set up on it.When Fang Xiu saw this wooden rack, she actually flinched a bit, not knowing if she could control this thing, so she thought about making an iron rack for barbecue as soon as possible, which would be more convenient.

He Huai'an sat aside with the two children, watching Fang Xiuyi's movements curiously and expectantly.Fang Xiuyi was operating this simple thing for the first time, and there were many jokes at the beginning.

At first, Fang Xiuyi was worried that the fire would burn the wooden frame, so she didn't dare to add fire, but the fire couldn't come up, and she couldn't cook.Added another fire, and the flames "chuckled" and burned the meat in one go, Fang Xiuyi was so frightened that he yelled "ahhh".Even He Huai'an couldn't bear to come over to help, but seeing Fang Xiu's frantic look and the black meat skewer in her hand, he couldn't help laughing, and Fei Yu was even more exaggerated, laughing until his stomach ached.

"Hey, hey, what are you laughing at? This is my first time operating, okay? Give me some encouragement!" Fang Xiu just threw away the meat in his hand.

"Or, let's just cook these meats in a pot and eat them instead of grilling." He Huai'an is not even good at it, and Fang Xiuyi is not confident either.

"No, my arena is all set up, and the gongs and drums are beating. You don't want to fight anymore? Besides, in summer, it's so hot, so you have to drink and have a drink or something." Fang Xiu was unwilling to die. Give up, it's about your own reputation.

He Huai'an had no choice but to sit back again, watching Fang Xiuyi's performance, and at the same time expressed doubts about what she just said about "rolling a skewer".

Soon, Fang Xiuyi mastered the technique, and the barbecue was finally able to meet people.She happily put the skewers on the table, "It's done, welcome to taste!"

It was the first time for the three of them to eat this, so they picked it up curiously, tore it off with their hands and ate it.Fang Xiuyi quit, there is still such a delicious barbecue!

"It's not eaten like this! Come on, let me show you." Fang Xiuyi picked up a bunch and bit down with his teeth. The taste was okay, but the smell of fireworks was a bit strong. .”

The three of them also tried to eat like Fang Xiuyi.

"Well, mother, it's delicious!" Fei Yu praised while eating regardless of his image.

"Yes, it's delicious! Mom, you can eat it too."

Although He Huai'an didn't quite accept this way of eating, but the taste was really good. He watched the two children eating so happily, and laughed heartily, because the faces of the two children were covered with oil and seasoning.

The children didn't know why at first, but they smiled happily when they saw Fang Xiuyi pointing at his face and touching it.

"Daddy, stop laughing, you have it on your face too!" Fei Yu said with a smile.

When Fang Xiu saw that everyone was eating happily, the roasting became even more joyful.Because it was fresh, several people ate too much, but Fang Xiuyi also prepared a lot. After grilling some, he gave them to the maids. There were still a lot of raw ones left. Just remove the rack and let them bake and eat by themselves.Within a few days, Shi Dashan asked Fang Xiuyi how to prepare the ingredients, and they wanted to grill their own meat.From then on, those guards would barbecue meat from time to time, and He Huai'an bought the meat with his own pocket.

A month passed quickly, everyone changed, Fei Yu and Siyuan's complexion became a bit darker, Fang Xiuyi couldn't stop the happy light on Fang Xiuyi's face.Whenever He Huai'an sees his wife and two children, he feels that the secrets he experienced every day have disappeared, and all the physical and mental fatigue have disappeared.Although Fang Xiuyi is not very keen on managing the affairs of the mansion, he has trained Fei Yu to be a good hand. Everyone in the mansion is well-behaved, let alone the children, who are better than each other. Although the purpose is to protect Fang Xiuyi, But He Huai'an is very pleased with his academic achievements and personal development.
