Those Years When I Was Cannon Fodder

"... Above Master, there is also Master, just from the name, you can see that the status of Master is still above Master, and it is only used in some special circumstances, Third Young Lady is not used for the time being, I won't go into details here."

Chu Yu nodded to show her understanding.

Just like a father, a master must be respected and respected, and he must be offered offerings just like the ancestors.

Just the etiquette between teachers and students, the points to be paid attention to, Mr. Mo talked about all morning.

Chu Yu found that her memories of this life were not bad, and she wrote down seven, seven, eight, eight.

"Xiaoyuer, that's all for this lesson. I'll officially teach you how to read characters tomorrow."

"Thank you sir, please walk slowly." Chu Yu stood up and bowed with the etiquette she just learned.

A flash of relief flashed in Mr. Mo's eyes, "Little fish stay."

…

When Chu Yu walked out of the study, she saw Xu's mother waiting outside.

Immediately, her eyes lit up, she walked over immediately, hugged Mother Xu's leg, raised her head, and looked at her expectantly.

"Mother Xu, are the pills ready?"

She has studied it, and this angle is the easiest to make Xu's mother soft-hearted.

Sure enough, Mother Xu didn't say a word of nonsense, she just took out the box hidden behind her.

"What the third miss told me, I naturally have to do it as soon as possible. Let's see."

Mother Xu opened the box, and Chu Yu saw a dozen brown pills inside.

The appearance is very ordinary.

But Chu Yu thought that these pills could help her get rid of the pain of traditional Chinese medicine, and she immediately felt that these gray pills had a low-key beauty.

"Thank you, Mother Xu."

Chu Yu took it as soon as she took it, "I knew, Mommy Xu, you are the best."

The third lady, who had been standing by the side and looked at with a smile, walked over with a frown and asked,

"What is this pill?"

Xu's mother immediately explained,

"Third madam, the Chinese medicine that the third lady is drinking is too bitter, so I asked Dr. Xu for help and made the medicine into pills, so that the third lady only needs to take one pill each day for three meals a day."

The third lady's face was light, and she didn't seem to be happy. Instead, she was a little worried.

"Medicines are all boiled into concoctions, and they only work when you drink them. Are they effective when they are made into pills?"

"Third madam, don't worry, I specifically asked Dr. Xu, and Dr. Xu said that the pills are newly made, the efficacy will not be lost, and the efficacy will only dissipate over time."

"So, as long as he makes pills every fortnight, it won't matter."

The third lady nodded and said, "Thank you Mama Xu."

Mother Xu also looked very respectful, "This is what this old slave should do."

Chu Yu looked at their very rusty and polite exchange.

I was a little puzzled in my heart.

It stands to reason that the third lady has been assigned to the cold palace. She should be very happy to have mother Xu to take care of her.

Even if she wasn't moved, in order to win over Mother Xu and make her life better, she shouldn't have such an attitude.

The third lady said again, "Mother Xu is busy with things. If there is nothing else, she should leave this Qinglan Garden as soon as possible."

Chu Yu's eyes widened.

Is she going to drive people away?

This is too rude.

The cheap mother doesn't understand the world, so Chu Yu can't let the mother Xu, who is facing her, feel cold.

As if he couldn't see the stiffness, he said cheerfully, "Then I'll go see Mother Xu."

The third lady's voice became even weaker.

"Send it to the door and come back. Mother has prepared a table of sumptuous dishes for you."

…

The old and the young came to the door and stopped.

"Mother Xu, thank you very much." Chu Yu pouted deliberately, like a wronged child,

"Mother doesn't like you, but I like you."

Mother Xu's heart softened all of a sudden, she sighed, crouched down and hugged Chu Yu, and whispered,

"My poor little fish."

Chu Yu continued, "Mom, I don't understand. You saved me. If it wasn't for the good things you sent me, I might not be able to live now."

"Also, tell Daddy to ask a lady for me, I know it's all for my own good."

"I don't understand, why does mother reject you so much?"

"Ms. Mingming, I said it myself, if it wasn't for your help, Mother Xu, it's not certain whether she would be able to give birth to me."

This is not what the third lady said.

It was Chu Yu's own speculation based on the third lady's chatter.

Very simple.

In such a complex environment as the City Lord's Mansion, there is also the rule that the damned person can only be named after he has given birth to a child.

I want to know how important heirs are to the women in the backyard.

Hold me or not, why do you have such an idea? There are definitely not a few women.

Her mother is a small village girl who has no foundation in the city lord's mansion. How could she be able to keep her with her own strength?

Chu Yu said so many words in one breath, Xu's mother not only had no doubts, but was very relieved.

Emotions paid have been rewarded.

"Xiaoyu'er, I know that people used to say that you were a fool and that you didn't understand anything, but I know that you understand, but you can't express it."

Xu's mother fell into memory, "In the past, when you ate good food, you would deliberately leave some for me, or I taught you many times before you realized that those things will expire after a long time..."

Following Mother Xu's eloquent words, many fragments also appeared in Chu Yu's mind.

"Dad gave me the carp wood carving, Mama Xu, are you still with me?"

she asked subconsciously.

Mother Xu said in surprise, "Little fish, do you remember?"

She quickly opened her collar and pulled out a small wooden carp-shaped carving from her neck.

"Mom has been carrying it all the time. This is the amulet that Xiaoyu'er gave me."

Then, Chu Yu said some sporadic fragments.

Mother Xu's tears of joy flowed out.

"It turns out, Xiaoyuer, you always remember."

Chu Yu shook her head honestly, "I don't remember everything, only a few scattered memories."

Mother Xu hugged Chu Yu,

"Just remember some, I don't force it."

But she didn't see that the little girl she was holding showed a faint smile.

Chu Yu knew very well that she couldn't pretend to be a five-year-old girl forever.

And she was not reconciled. After spending a few years like this, she didn't start to do what she wanted until she grew up and married and had the freedom of movement.

However, no one would trust a little girl, what she can do.

She needs help.

For this helper, she did not choose the third lady, but Mother Xu.

In addition to the reason that Mother Xu was not imprisoned in the backyard, she could go out, and the original body's whole-hearted trust in Mother Xu.

Now, Chu Yu hugged her body, instinctively without any rejection.

It's true that the original body is a fool, but perhaps because she is a fool, what she feels is the most real.

No one will deliberately disguise in front of a fool.
