The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

Rumeng's matter was settled, and Xia Mianwan began to fight wits and courage with two troublemakers again. Shi Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er were really troublemakers, but Pei Yanxu also really doted on them.

Shi Ge'er couldn't even speak clearly, he just held onto Pei Yanxu's legs to avoid Xia Mianwan's attack.

Sister Yuan would fall down after taking a few steps. This was great. Pei Yanxu didn't even need to say anything. It was as if he had installed a radar on his body. As long as they were in a place, anytime and anywhere, Pei Yanxu would grab his daughter and hold her in his arms.

Xia Mianwan felt a headache when she saw that the man who was so powerful in officialdom had become a slave to the children at home. No, she had to find someone who could take care of the children, otherwise when she returned to the capital, the two little devils would make a big fuss.

Unable to find a suitable person in Xiyang, Xia Mianwan sent a letter to the Yang Mansion in the capital. The general content of the letter was just to ask Madam Yang to invite a gentleman over, and then she talked about the personalities of Shi Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er.

Mrs. Yang acted quickly and soon found a male teacher and a female teacher for Xia Mianwan.

The male teacher was called Xu Yilin, a juren, and his family had some background. He went to Xiyang just for Pei Yanxu. As for the female teacher, she was Zhou Yulian, a former student of Nanny Yuan. She had established a female household and was also staying in the academy. When she heard that she was interested in going to Xiyang, Nanny Yuan asked Zhou Yulian to come with Xu Yilin.

Xia Mianwan was very happy when she received Mrs. Yang's reply. On the day when Mrs. Yang sent the letter, Xu Yilin and Zhou Yulian had already left, so Xia Mianwan asked someone to quickly clean up the yard where the two gentlemen would live.

Thinking that someone would soon take care of the two little devils, Xia Mianwan felt happy.

In the evening, after Pei Yanxu returned home, Shi Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er were already waiting at the gate of the courtyard. Pei Yanxu saw the two glutinous rice balls waiting for him to go home, and his heart softened instantly, "Shi Ge'er, Yuan Jie'er."

When the two glutinous rice balls heard their daddy calling them, they stretched out their hands and asked for their daddy to hold them. Xia Mianwan saw that the two little devils were trying to act cute again, and said coldly: "Your daddy has never practiced martial arts. He is a scholar. You two run too fast and your daddy can't hold you up."

When Yuan Jieer heard this, she put down her hands aggrievedly, with tears in her eyes and pursed lips, saying, "Daddy, can't you hold me? Then Yuan Jieer doesn't want Daddy to hold me anymore. Daddy, you're working too hard."

Pei Yanxu couldn't bear to see Sister Yuan suffer such an injustice, so he quickly picked her up. Shi Ge'er was still confused. Why did his father's hand disappear?

When Pei Yanxu saw that Shi Ge'er was about to cry, he freed his hands to hug Shi Ge'er. Xia Mianwan shook her head when she saw this.

These days, Pei Yanxu has been busy looking for someone to take over. Having seen a lot about the changing emperor and his ministers, Pei Yanxu has to prepare for the next governor in Xiyang as soon as possible, otherwise all his work in the past few years will be in vain. If the government orders change every day, the people will no longer trust the court.

It is not easy to find a candidate for governor, but the people under him can be gradually trained. Currently, the county magistrates and county magistrates of the counties under Xiyang are all quite good.

There may be differences in ability, but there is no lazy governance, which is very good.

Because he needed to inspect in person, Pei Yanxu's workload suddenly increased a lot. He was so busy every day that his dark circles under his eyes became much darker. But as soon as the two glutinous rice balls called, Pei Yanxu would ignore himself and go to hug the children.

Xia Mianwan said it many times, and Pei Yanxu verbally agreed, but in the blink of an eye he forgot everything.

The two glutinous rice balls hugged their father and were so proud. Xia Mianwan couldn't stand it anymore and gave a look to Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er.

Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er knew that their mother was afraid that their father would be tired, and they also knew that their father was really too busy recently, so they hurried forward and each took the dumplings off.

The two little ones dared to act tough when they saw their eldest brother, but they didn't dare to act tough when they saw Yu Jie'er. If they made a mistake, Yu Jie'er would really beat them. So they obediently called each other sister and got off the ground by themselves.

Pei Yanxu saw that Xia Mianwan looked a little surprised, and smiled awkwardly, "Madam, I was wrong."

Xia Mianwan glanced at Pei Yanxu calmly and asked, "Tell me, where did you go wrong?"

Pei Yanxu scratched his head and said, "I really shouldn't spoil my child too much."

Xia Mianwan poured food for Pei Yanxu and sighed, "You haven't gotten enough sleep in the past few days. How can your body bear it? Eat something quickly and go to rest. Don't worry about Shi Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er. Sister Yang has found a teacher for me and he will be here in the next two days."

Pei Yanxu raised his head curiously and asked, "Sir? Have you found it?"

Xia Mianwan nodded and replied, "We're almost there."

Pei Yanxu nodded, drank the porridge and went to lie down. He worked in the mountains and fields every day, and now he really couldn't hold on any longer.

Xia Mian waited until Pei Yanxu fell asleep, then called Yuan Jieer and Shi Geer to tell them that the master would come later. Although Shi Geer and Yuan Jieer didn't know what this meant, they both felt a sense of crisis, so the two glutinous rice balls looked at each other all night and cried together in tacit understanding.

Seeing that the two had started acting again, Xia Mianwan leisurely asked Rumeng and Ruzhu to serve her favorite snacks, and then watched the two act while drinking a drink.

Shi Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er saw that crying for a while was useless, so they stopped crying, their little faces serious, "Mom, we don't want the master, we just want mom and dad. Mom is the best mom in the world, and dad is the best dad in the world."

Xia Mianwan was happy, and said with a hint of surprise: "Really? Mother is so important?"

"Yeah!" The two little guys nodded in unison.

Xia Mianwan was happy, "But mother just wants you to study hard with the teacher."

"No!" The two little guys shook their heads in unison.

"It's useless even if you don't want it. I'm your mother, I'm older than you, you eat my food and drink my drinks, now you have to listen to me." Xia Mianwan happily threw a piece of potato chip into his mouth.

"Mom is bad!" Sister Yuan was angry.

Xia Mianwan was full at this time, clapped his hands and said: "Sister Yuan, my childhood brothers, don't you want a teacher?"

"Yeah!" Yuan Jie'er and Shi Ge'er both nodded.

Xia Mianwan was happy, "Mother knows, you guys can go down now!"

Sister Yuan said timidly, "Then we won't have a master anymore?"

Xia Mianwan smiled and shook her head, "Of course not. You two little devils are so arrogant because your father loves you and your brothers and sisters love you. If your mother can't teach you, let your teacher teach you!"

Yuan Jie'er and Shi Ge'er knew that their mother was actually the most powerful person in the family, so they stopped struggling. They looked at each other and started thinking about how to continue making trouble and drive away the gentleman!
