MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 79 Emperor and Empress colleagues
Chapter 79 The Emperor and the Empress
“How about I teach you how to read?”
The **** the window sill seemed to have found a new pleasure, looking at Qin Yao expectantly.
Doudouer who was waiting in the room looked over in surprise.
Seeing that Qin Yao really walked in, Aunt Qiao frowned and felt something was wrong, "Miss, is this not good?"
Miss Ding just looks innocent, but she is not stupid. She is the master, and Aunt Qiao has no right to interfere with her decision.
He immediately pouted and said to Aunt Qiao like a child: "It's so boring for me to study alone. Usually when I ask you and Dou'er to study, you just scream for mercy. Today I just want to be a teacher. It's rare for someone to be a student. Don't worry about it." Me, otherwise I wouldn’t be happy!”
Aunt Qiao hurriedly bowed her head and said respectfully: "I don't dare, this slave."
"Just back off if you don't dare." Miss Ding snorted, looking as if she was making a fool of herself.
Aunt Qiao asked Dou'er to take care of the good lady and left.
Ms. Ding enthusiastically pointed to the stool opposite the desk and asked Qin Yao to sit down. Then she picked up the book and asked Qin Yao if she wanted to read it.
“Okay.” Qin Yao smiled and reached out to take it.
The bookshelf behind Miss Ding is full of books, ranging from enlightenment picture books to miscellaneous travel notes on the Four Books and Five Classics.
If she hadn't called him in, Qin Yao wouldn't have known there were so many books in her room.
If you want to learn about a new world, books are the most convenient way. Qin Yao knows that such opportunities are rare, so what about being a student?
In this age of knowledge monopoly, if she had not come to work as a bodyguard in the Ding family, she might not have had access to books at all.
There is a bookstore in Kaiyang County, but only students enrolled in the academy and those bachelors with meritorious titles can enter.
So, just copying books can allow a poor student to support himself.
But even if it is a copied book, ordinary people still cannot afford it.
Qin Yao has been to the county town twice before, but she just stood at the door of the bookstore and looked at it. A three-character book of Enlightenment sold for eight coins, who would be willing to give it up?
Maybe children like to play role-playing games.
Because teaching Qin Yao was so fulfilling, Ms. Ding fell in love with being a teacher.
Qin Yao already has the foundation of the original owner. She knows all the commonly used words. With her own knowledge reserve, the Book of Songs that Miss Ding took out is not difficult for her at all.
After two days of class, I finished reading all 300 poems in the Book of Songs.
Ms. Ding was very excited and felt that she had taught a genius.
On this day, one of them was sitting in the room having an elegant lunch, and the other was sitting on a small stool at the door, holding a bowl of sea food and gulping down the rice.
Ms. Ding heard the movement coming from the door and was inexplicably attracted.
Thinking that her father and brother were both not at home, it didn't matter if she occasionally violated her etiquette. Without looking at Aunt Qiao's downcast face, she walked out with her own blue and white porcelain bowl of rice.
Douer put down an embroidery stool next to Qin Yao, and Miss Ding sat down.
The big one and the little one looked at each other, smiled at each other, and ate together while looking at the blue sky above their heads.
After lunch, Miss Ding asked expectantly: "Ms. Qin, what book do you want to read today?"
Qin Yao pointed to the bookshelf in the room. Miss Ding generously led her in and let her choose.
Qin Yao stood in front of the bookshelf and looked around. In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics that she already knew, she wanted to read the rest of the miscellaneous travel notes.
But she was not in a hurry, she still had time, so Qin Yao chose a novel that was somewhat similar to a fanfiction book called "The Secret History of the Harem".
The book is still very new, the cover has no wrinkles at all, and it is placed in the corner of the bookshelf.
Seeing Qin Yao pull out the book, Miss Ding exclaimed "Ah!" and her first reaction was to rush into the living room to see if Aunt Qiao was there. I saw no one, so I was relieved. Dou'er couldn't read, so there was no need to worry.
“Why did you choose this one?”
Ms. Ding waved to Qin Yao to come to the window. She always stared at the door, looking guilty as a thief, and glared at Qin Yao with a bit of shame.
Qin Yao looked at the title of the book and asked in a low voice: "Forbidden book?"
Ms. Ding looked unhappy, but she didn’t let Qin Yao put it back because she wanted to see it too.
“I asked my brother to secretly buy it for me. I like to read unofficial journals, but I don’t dare to let my father know. He will be furious if he knows!”
They will also say, how can a girl look at such filthy things? It is insulting to the family tradition, which is very serious.
Qin Yao hissed and fooled the child, "Only you and I know this. God knows and the earth knows. No third person will know."
“No, it’s the fourth person.” Miss Ding corrected in a low voice, “Brother also knows.”
The two of them looked at each other. Miss Ding couldn't help but be excited. Seeing that Qin Yao hadn't turned the page yet, she couldn't help urging: "Read it first, and tell me after you read it."
If there is something you can’t see, don’t say it.
Qin Yao wanted to laugh a little when she saw her wanting to read but being scared. She wondered in her heart, could it be that this book still has colors?
Tsk, tsk, I’m a little excited just thinking about it.
Qin Yao opened the pages of the book with a normal expression. Before reading two lines, Miss Ding asked:
“What are you writing? Does it look good?”
"Miss, I just started watching." Qin Yao helplessly motioned to her not to worry and wait.
"Okay, then I'll go out to look for the wind. You can read it first, and tell me after you finish it." Miss Ding ordered.
Qin Yao nodded, this is a bit too courageous, it’s just a book, what can it do?
There’s really something about it!
But it’s not about the romantic history of a concubine and the emperor, but a serious style of writing.
The stories in the book are written under pseudonyms, but anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that it is about the entrepreneurial history of the couple who are the current emperor and empress.
Different from the common married couple, the Queen in this book is a brave and resourceful woman.
On the way to their fortunes, all the brightest moments happened to the Queen.
At the beginning of his fortune, princes in various places revolted one after another. In the troubled times, the empress, who was still a noble girl at the time, rescued the emperor who was just a concubine of a declining family. She gave money, food and horses, and helped the concubine seize the position of head of the family.
After that, the two families got married and joined forces to become the overlord of one side.
The emperor, who became the patriarch of the clan at that time, was very satisfied with this achievement and began to live a luxurious life of aristocrats and rich people.
It was the Empress who came forward in person, presented the power map of various princes in front of the Emperor, analyzed the current situation of the world for three days and three nights, and drew a big pie for the Emperor. Only then did the next steps of recovering the mountains and rivers and restoring peace to the people come to pass.
After that, the Queen Mother personally became the commander-in-chief and led an army of 50,000 people from the Northland to the Central Plains mansion, sweeping across the old capital, laying a solid foundation for the emperor's true half of the country and the subsequent victory of the Sheng Kingdom.
When reading this in the novel, Qin Yao felt like a queen and she was about to become the king herself.
However, the situation changed. The Queen who had already captured the old capital did not strike further while the iron was hot.
The world's prejudice against women is deeply rooted, and the emperor's staff are afraid that the mistress will seize power. Therefore, the emperor was half forced and half encouraged to establish himself as king first.
The author in the book feels sorry for this. Fortunately, the young couple had a deep relationship and the emperor and empress were loving. After the emperor became king, he did not take back the queen's military power, maintaining a delicate balance.
After that, there is a happy ending where the husband and wife work together to regain the lost territory and successfully establish a prosperous country.
At the end of the book, it is mentioned about the division of power between the emperor and the empress. The princess wants to be the crown princess and competes with her brothers for power. It is not known who will win the crown princeship in the end.
