Shengju is very quiet.
Yun Chu looked at the account book and felt that it was too quiet.
She frowned: "How long has Brother Yu been out?"
Tingshuang was also startled. She was busy helping Madam deal with things, and then she realized that the little prince had taken too long to pee.
At this time, Tingxue came in sweating profusely: "Madam, the young prince is missing. I searched all over Shengju but couldn't find him..."
Yun Chu's heart tightened, he stood up suddenly, and then calmed down: "Go to the front yard first to see if Amao is still there."
The child came secretly when he came, and perhaps took the opportunity to sneak away.
Amao stayed temporarily in the wing in the front yard as Tingshuang's distant cousin. Tingxue went there in a hurry and came back with a pale face: "Amao is still there."
This means that the young prince has not left Xie's Mansion, but he just doesn't know where he went.
"It's all your fault!" Tingxue knelt down, "Please punish me, madam."
Tingshuang said: "Now is not the time to punish people. You should think carefully about where you lost the young prince."
"When the young prince was like Gong, I stood guard at the door of Gong's room. After waiting for a long time, he didn't come out. I looked in and found that the window was open. The young prince must have climbed out through the window." Ting Xue was so anxious that she almost cried. Came out, "The path outside the window leads to the back garden of Xie's family. The servant quietly looked around, but did not see the figure of the young prince."
Yun Chu's heart sank a little. There was a small lake in the back garden. If the child fell into the lake...
As soon as she thought about this possibility, her heart suddenly felt suffocated.
She calmed down and said, "Tingshuang, you can find any reason to drive away all the people in the garden."
Ting Shuang took the order and left.
Yun Chu took his dowry maid to the garden. The backyard of Xie's family was not big, but the garden was even smaller. There was an artificial lake, a rockery, and the original flowers and plants had been replaced by jujube trees. You could see the whole thing clearly at a glance. There was a garden, but there were many water plants and water lilies growing in the lake, and the situation was unclear for a while.
Tingxue was trembling all over.
If the young prince drowns in the lake, how can she afford to pay for this miserable life? The madam will definitely be affected...
She tied up her skirt and was about to get into the water when a voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Sister Tingxue, what are you doing in the water? Are you fishing?"
Yunchu turned around suddenly.
They saw Chu Hongyu in brocade clothes climbing out of the trunk of a big tree. The trunk was hollow for some unknown reason. Hiding a child was not a problem at all. No wonder they couldn't find it no matter how hard they looked.
How anxious and scared Yunchu was just now, how angry he is now.
She suppressed her anger and said, "Why are you hiding here? Do you know how long we have been looking for you? Do you know how worried we are?"
"I didn't let anyone find me. I crawled out of the tree hole when I saw no one else in the garden." Chu Hongyu grabbed her sleeve and shook it, "Mother, please don't be angry, okay? , I know I was wrong, and I will never sneak out alone again..."
Yunchu held his little hand and took him back to Shengju. She left everything to Tingshuang and took the child to read in person.
"You don't know this word, and you don't know this word either?" Yun Chu's face cracked, "You are four years old, and your father hasn't enlightened you yet?"
Chu Hongyu made a sad face: "I'm enlightened, but I don't understand what the master is saying, and I can't learn it... Mother, if you teach me, I will definitely learn it."
How could Yun Chu not see that this boy missed his studies because of his playfulness.
However, for a child who is only four years old and has no one to discipline and guide him at home, it is normal for him to be playful.
However, if you are too playful, cannot keep up with your studies, have no knowledge, and are ignorant, you will suffer big losses when you grow up.
"Brother Yu, why do we need to read? Because there are many great principles in the book. The more books we read, the more principles we will understand." Yun Chu said softly, "Before you learn to read, you must first read. Recognizing Chinese characters is actually not a boring task. Look at the character "chu", which is the beginning of a person and the beginning of my name. It is written like this..."
She held the little guy's hand and wrote one stroke on the paper.
Chu Hongyu started to study seriously.
He knew all the words that were so difficult to write in less than half an hour, and even learned how to write them.
"Mom, you are so awesome!"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "You are very smart. Remember the feeling of reading now, and follow this feeling in the future."
Chu Hongyu nodded vigorously.
Seeing Yun Chu's gentle smile, the little guy suddenly felt sad.
While he was hiding in the tree hole, many servants of the Xie family passed by the tree together, and he heard many secrets about his mother.
It turned out that my mother had given birth to two children before, but those two children died after birth, and my mother had been ill for a long time.
It turns out that the relationship between my mother and that Xie Shiyu was very bad. That man never stayed overnight at my mother's place. The people in the Xie family all sympathized with my mother.
It turns out that those children who call my mother their mother are not her children...
It turns out that my mother’s life was very difficult…
But my mother smiled so gently, as if she didn't have anything to worry about.
"Madam, the boy outside asked around outside the city and heard that King Pingxi successfully suppressed the bandits." Tingfeng came in and reported, "King Pingxi led his people to capture more than a hundred bandits last night. Some of them escaped after hearing the news. , King Pingxi took advantage of the victory to pursue him, and will return to Beijing about the day after tomorrow."
"Those bandits are too inferior." Chu Hongyu frowned, "How come they have no ability to resist at all, and they were captured alive by my father so easily!"
"Brother Yu, it's not that the bandits are too weak, it's that your father is too powerful." Yun Chu looked at him and said, "If these bandits exist for one more day, the lives of countless people will be threatened. Your father can take them out in one day." Bandits from the mountains are what the people want."
Chu Hongyu nodded as if he understood, and pursed his lips: "Then I will go back the day after tomorrow."
Yun Chu touched his head: "Your father is out suppressing bandits, so you should study hard. When your father comes back, you will recite the Three Character Sutra to your father in full. Your father will be very happy. "
"Really?" A smile appeared on Chu Hongyu's face, "Will father praise me?"
Yun Chu nodded: "Probably."
The little guy took the book and sat by it and read it seriously. He would take the initiative to ask about the words he didn't know. If he didn't understand the meaning of a certain sentence, he would ask for it before continuing to memorize it.
Tingshuang said softly: "The young prince is so good, why do people outside say that the young prince is so naughty?"
Yun Chu said: "A child is just a blank piece of paper, whatever the adults write on it will be whatever it is. King Pingxi is a stern person, and there is no guidance from the princess in the family. Naturally, the young prince is a little willful and rebellious."
For most of the next day, Chu Hongyu was seriously endorsing.
In the evening, Tingxue asked people to carry a large screen in, which was embroidered with various "longevity" characters.
"Ah, the words on it are so ugly." Chu Hongyu took one look at it and said with disgust on his face, "Who gave this screen to my mother? There is no sincerity at all."
Yunchu chuckled: "This is a birthday gift from my mother."
This child always had a mother, and Yunchu couldn't help but start calling himself mother.
