The Female Partner Thinks About It

After listening to Mrs. Tao, her face was stunned, as if she didn't respond for a while.

After a long time, her eyes gradually showed a look of shock, her lips trembled, and she said, "I must be old and confused, and my ears are not working well."

how can that be possible? How could her obedient granddaughter say such shocking words?

"Grandma..." Yu Hanzhou looked up at her and called.

However, Mrs. Tao didn't look at her, she pinched her thigh and muttered, "I must be dreaming."

Impossible, this can never be true, how could her good granddaughter want to be a man? However, the pain in her leg made her understand that it was true, and she heard it right. Her boat was so bold and absurd.

"You, you, phlegm is fascinated!" She shook her fingers and said to Yu Hanzhou, who was kneeling under the bed, tears flashing.

Yu Hanzhou lowered his eyes and called out again, "Grandma."

"Don't call me!" Mrs. Tao suddenly said angrily, "You, you treat me well, from today onwards, you are not allowed to go anywhere!"

She was so angry that her face turned pale, but she was more shocked and puzzled. Thinking in her mind, she said, "In a while, I will tell you a good marriage."

When Yu Hanzhou and Tao Zhi went to the south to run errands, Mrs. Tao inquired about some school-age children in Xizhou. She was originally undecided, but after listening to Yu Hanzhou's words, a candidate appeared in her mind.

He grabbed Yu Hanzhou's hand and said: "There is a man surnamed Hu, whose family is a little cold, but he has a good personality and looks good. He worships under the master of a famous teacher, and he will definitely be promising in the future. Even if he is not promising, it doesn't matter, you If you have a dowry, you have your maiden's family, and he doesn't dare to bully you."

After a pause, she softened her tone a bit: "Zhouzhou, your grandmother will not harm you. If you marry him, he will treat you well. The things you worry about will not happen."

She thought that Yu Hanzhou would not marry because he was worried that he would not have a good life in the Tao family after marriage, giving birth to those unbelievable thoughts.

When Mrs. Tao was young, she used to be afraid, but she never had such thoughts, so she grabbed Yu Hanzhou and tried hard to persuade her.

Yu Hanzhou listened to her and did not interrupt. After she finished speaking, she looked at her earnestly before she said, "Grandma, what's wrong with placing the pearl on the top of the tower? Why do you have to give it to a beggar?"

In other words, should we not help the poor?

The man surnamed Hu was obviously a poor boy. The most valuable thing on his body was the cucumber about three inches below his navel. But because he has cucumbers, give him girls and dowries for free?

Even if he cherishes it, what's the point?

Mrs. Tao was dumbfounded, her mouth opened and closed, closed and opened, and finally scolded: "Faulty!"

Yu Hanzhou lowered his eyes and said, "What's wrong? I grew up spoiled. Is it because I wanted to marry him, have children for him, and take care of the housework? Does our Tao family owe him?"

Mrs. Tao couldn't answer this time. After a long time, she took a long sigh: "There is a man of the right family, who was picked out by Zhi'er for a lot of faults, just saying that he is not worthy of you. I don't like you when I look at you. Such a lower lintel will not be bullied. You, but you don't either."

"I know my grandmother loves me the most." Yu Hanzhou said, "There is no one in the world who treats me better than you and my cousin. But, grandmother, I won't be happy that way."

She looked up at Mrs. Tao and pleaded, "I want to be Tao Bei. I'm not happy to be in Wanzhou. You love me the most, and you have the heart to see me unhappy every day?"

"You, you just rely on me to love you!" Mrs. Tao twitched her lips and drew her hands out.

Yu Hanzhou hugged her hand tightly, lowered his head and tears fell, and said, "Yes, I'm relying on you to love me. Besides this, what else do I have?" She raised her head, and the tears fell, " Grandmother, what can I rely on? What else can a woman rely on?"

Mrs. Tao was in a state of turmoil. At one time she knew the pain she was talking about, and at the same time she felt that everyone was like this. Why should she be different?

"Zhouzhou, everyone has to do this." Mrs. Tao held her hand and burst into tears, "If you are different, the road you will walk will be even more difficult. It's not that your grandmother refuses to agree to you, but that she is reluctant to endure hardship. what!"

Hearing her words, Yu Hanzhou laughed, with tears on his fair face, and his eyes became clearer when he laughed: "I didn't say these words in vain. I know you love me, protect me, and serve me. I have been worrying about it for a long time, for fear that I will regret it in the future. So I went out with my cousin and practiced it."

"Grandmother, I don't feel bitter. My cousin and I are riding on horseback. We travel for seven or eight hours a day, and our legs are worn out, and I don't feel bitter. I am not afraid of being deceived and threatened by the stewards. In order to find out the clues. , I don't find it difficult to read at night with the ledger and light." She smiled, "Grandma, I have to be a man, I want to do what a man can do."

She swallowed, raised her hand to wipe away the tears, and then added: "Actually, it's not that it's not hard, it's just that compared to being trapped in a house and embroidering, fighting with people over trivial things every day is not enough. Going out of the house, I can’t see the vast world, the vast mountains and rivers, I think that is better.”

"Grandma, please, just do it for me." After she finished speaking, she let go of Mrs. Tao's hand and kowtowed.

The old lady Tao was already in tears, her lips were shaking, but she refused to let go: "You are a leftist, I can't promise you now." Then she said, "Someone! Go! Call Tao Zhi over!"

When the old lady said the word "Tao Zhi", she gritted her teeth: "I have to break my granddaughter's legs!"

"Grandma, don't blame my cousin, it's me who pestered him—" Yu Hanzhou wanted to excuse Tao Zhi, but Mrs. Tao didn't listen and said, "He's the elder brother, and he doesn't know what to do or not to do. That's his fault!"

He asked someone to take Yu Hanzhou down, put on his crutches, and sat on the edge of the bed with a sullen face, waiting for Tao Zhi to come.

After Yu Hanzhou was carried out by the maid, he did not leave, but knelt down in the yard.

It's the middle of winter now, and it's cold and windy outside, and after a while, your hands and feet will freeze. As soon as Yu Hanzhou knelt down, the maids became anxious: "Miss, get up quickly, the old lady didn't tell you to kneel."

"I'm going to kneel until my grandmother calms down." Yu Hanzhou said, putting aside the maid, he knelt up straight.

The soil on the ground was frozen as stiff as a stone, but after a while, her knees felt a dull pain. The maid brought her a cushion, but she didn't pick it up, pursed her lips, and knelt straight outside the house.

After a while, Tao Zhi came.

Seeing Yu Hanzhou kneeling in the yard, he was suddenly surprised: "What's wrong?"

Yu Hanzhou said, "Be careful yourself."

As soon as Tao Zhi heard it, he knew what was going on, shrank his neck, and went in.

But for a moment, there were scolding and beating sounds, accompanied by Tao Zhi's screams and begging for mercy.

After a while, it stopped and seemed to be talking, but Yu Hanzhou was kneeling in the yard, and the wind was so loud that he couldn't hear a few words.

After a while, Tao Zhi also came out. He bared his teeth, as if he had been beaten badly. When he came to Yu Hanzhou, he also knelt down.

At this time, he still remembered his brother's identity, and knelt on the upper hand to shield her from the wind: "grandmother asked me to persuade you to marry a man surnamed Hu, but I didn't agree, I thought you would despise such a person. , and besides, he is not worthy of you."

He said, sighing.

She is now only thinking about being Tao Bei, asking her to marry? Unless you screw her head off, put it in the water, rinse it, and then put it back.

The two knelt in the cold wind and refused to get up. Old Madam Tao was also fidgeting in the room, but she still held on. Finally, the owner of the house was alerted and asked what was going on.

The owner of the house was Uncle Tao, and he asked someone to help Tao Zhi and Yu Hanzhou up: "There is no such thing as punishing children in our family, and they can't break their bodies." They went into the house.

Mrs. Tao didn't want to say it, and wanted to persuade Yu Hanzhou herself, so that Yu Hanzhou would not make a bad impression on Uncle Tao. But Uncle Tao asked in a few words, after pondering for a moment, he said, "You don't have to worry about this anymore, I'll ask her."

Call Yu Hanzhou to the study alone and ask her.

Before Yu Hanzhou went, he deliberately dressed up as a man before entering.

When Uncle Tao saw her like this, he was also shocked. He also didn't expect that his niece wasn't all nonsense, she was a real man pretending to be a man. It's not just the appearance, but the temperament that comes from the inside, without the gentleness and shyness of a woman, but the uprightness and high-spiritedness of a young man.

If he saw such a person on the road, he would never think that she was a niece, but would only be amazed at the resemblance.

"Have you made up your mind?" he asked directly.

He already understood that she was twisting a tendon, and she had to do this. That being the case, it's useless to persuade her more, only she knows how to turn back when she suffers.

Yu Hanzhou nodded: "Yes, uncle."

Uncle Tao was not surprised by her answer, only said: "Okay. Tao Bei, right? From today, you will come to me to take errands. As long as you last for a year, if you want to be Tao Bei, it's up to you. If you regret it, come and tell me, you are still in Wanzhou."

"Thank you for your kindness, uncle." Yu Hanzhou cupped his hands and bowed to the end.

He didn't beat her, he didn't scold her, he didn't disappoint her, he didn't give up her directly, he was really a very loving uncle.

Yu Hanzhou began to come to him for errands.

The Tao family has a wide range of properties. As a sidekick, Tao Bei has to work hard to make a living under the master of the family.

Yu Hanzhou ran across the southwest, across the desert, and hurried across the road under the scorching sun. His lips were split with thirst, and he had nowhere to shelter from the torrential rain, and he had a high fever.

I ran all over the world for a year.

A year later, it is the winter season again, the snow is flying outside the house, and the house is quiet, warmed by the charcoal fire. Standing in front of the desk, Yu Hanzhou asked Uncle Tao with a smile, "Uncle, the one-year period is up."

Uncle Tao looked at his niece who was taller than a year ago, with an expression of admiration on his face: "Okay, from now on, Yu Wanzhou will die, you are my Tao family, Tao Bei."

He has been paying attention to her, and he has carefully read and compared every errand she does. Then he found that she was excellent, better than many of his stewards.

People who have achieved his position actually don't care so much about the world and rules. Whoever can do things better and contribute more to the family, he will use whoever.

Now, even if Mrs. Tao doesn't agree, it won't work.

No one can stop her unless Yu Hanzhou shouts bitterness and wants to quit. At least, Uncle Tao was on her side.
