Chapter 1275: Here Again!
Now, the atmosphere in Da Ling has changed a lot. Not only could women study, but they could also become teachers. If they had the ability and skills, they could also become officials.
Naturally, there were fewer and fewer things like men and women being guarded against each other and not being able to eat at the same table.
It was also Grand Empress Dowager Yunzi who had once disguised herself as a man and entered the military camp. She had also led the army into battle. Later on, she had even handled political and military affairs on behalf of the Emperor. She was no less than a man. Later on, Princess Jin had also taken charge of the Jingyue Army on behalf of her father. No one in the Jingyue Army was disobedient or disrespectful to her… After so many years… It was inevitable that it would develop to this point.
The two tables were still placed together, mainly because there were more people in the family. The children also sat at the same table and ate together.
Meanwhile, Zicui, Xia Han, Xue Liu, Miao Han, Fei Zhu, and Fei Ju were already married. Ever since they got married, Shao Youyue and Pei Fufu no longer needed maids to serve them. They did everything themselves and found it more interesting learning new things. In addition, the children were all grown up. They did not have to wash and change diapers that often like when they were young. They could handle it too.
Since Xue Yan had returned at a later time, Shao Youyue and Liu Guixia had made longevity noodles for him in the afternoon.
Only Xue Yan had a bowl of longevity noodles in front of him.
When Xue Shi and the others saw the longevity noodles on the table, they cheered and asked him to eat it quickly. Xue Yan cooperated and ate a mouthful of longevity noodles first.
“Ah, it’s time to eat! Time to eat!” Only then did the children pick up their chopsticks excitedly. It was time to eat.
Xue Sifu took a sip of wine and smiled. “After this meal, I’ll ask Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to drop you back at the Academy. You’ve skipped classes for the whole morning. It won’t make sense to skip classes in the afternoon. If you don’t want to, I can drop all of you too.”
“I’ll send you there,” said Xue Erfu with a smile.
“No, I want Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to send me! I want them to send me!” The children immediately shouted.
“Haha, you guys haven’t listened to me.” Xue Erfu was not annoyed at all. Instead, he was amused. It was good that the family got along well. “Alright, alright, alright. They can send you off. Be good and eat quickly.”
“Yes, thank you.” Xue Qiansheng, Xue Xingran, Xue Ningzhi, Xue Ningyuan, Xue Wuze, Xue Wuchuan, Xue Tianji, Xue Tianyi, and Xue Tiancheng all thanked him.
“Thank you, Father.” Xue Shi, Xue Ganggang, and Xue Dangdang also thanked him.
“Thank you.” Xue Bai smiled and ate his food while thanking him.
The children were still very polite. Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, and the others were very happy to see them behave well.
Ever since their children went to school, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were often the ones in charge of sending them. They were used to it and didn’t think much of it.
While they were eating, the sound of a carriage suddenly came from outside.
“Who’s back? Is Wufu back from the military camp? Ah, I’ll go take a look!” When Xue Shi heard this, he immediately ran out to take a look. When he saw the person in the carriage, he was a little unhappy. However, he did not show it on his face. He even shouted into the house. “Aunt Yucen is here!”
Inside the house, Xue Ganggang immediately said, “How annoying! Why is that aunt here again?!” It was obvious that she did not like Shao Yucen.
Ever since Shao Yucen turned 16, she had been finding excuses to come here. Everyone was not st*pid. They understood what Shao Yucen wanted.
Not only did Xue Shi and Xue Ganggang dislike her, but the other children in the family also disliked Shao Yucen. Even Prince Shou did not like Shao Yucen, and she was his cousin.
Prince Shou didn’t even bat an eyelid when he heard of Shao Yucen’s arrival. He continued to eat his food lazily.
