The daughter said in her sleep that her husband would get the first place in the exam, but Zhang Yunniang was not happy at all.

Every word of her daughter's wish had a price to pay.

Compared with the advantage she could get, Zhang Yunniang was more afraid of the unknown price.

Although her daughter looked healthy and safe now, who knew if fate was hiding in the dark and accumulating strength, waiting to explode.

Niuniu was still shouting: "Not just this time, there is also..."

Zhang Yunniang hurriedly woke the child up, she didn't dare to let her daughter continue to shout.

Niuniu opened her eyes, looked at her mother with a confused face, and asked: "Mom, did I oversleep?"

Niuniu thought she slept until the sun shone on her butt, but the light in the room was not bright, and she could only vaguely see Zhang Yunniang's face.

Zhang Yunniang touched her little head and asked, "Is Niuniu dreaming? What did you dream about?"

Niuniu nodded in confusion and said, "I dreamed of an old man with a white beard who said that Daddy could only get second place in the exam this time. I said no, my daddy must be first, and I must be first every time, but I woke up before I finished speaking."

"I don't know when I will see him next time..."

Niuniu looked aggrieved.

Zhang Yunniang said softly, "Niuniu, do you remember what your parents taught you before?"

Niuniu tilted her head and said, "My parents taught me a lot of truths, and Niuniu remembers them all."

"What if it's something your parents want?" Zhang Yunniang asked.

Niuniu said softly, "What your parents want, your parents said you want to fight for it yourself, and don't let me help you make a wish in your heart."

Zhang Yunniang didn't expect that she actually remembered it.

Niuniu immediately added: "This time I didn't make a wish in my heart, I made a wish in my dream!"

Looking at the cunning look in her little girl's eyes, Zhang Yunniang couldn't help but feel a little funny. She didn't argue with her daughter about the relationship between "in the dream" and "in the heart", but said directly:

"Then Niuniu, don't make a wish for your parents in your dreams in the future, okay? We agreed that your parents will fight for what they want. Even if your father didn't pass the exam in the end, it was because he didn't study well. He wouldn't blame others."

Niuniu nodded obediently and said, "I remember."

Zhang Yunniang looked at her obedient and cute appearance, couldn't help but kiss her little face, and said, "It's still early, you sleep a little longer."

Niuniu shook her head and said, "I can't sleep, I want to get up."

Zhang Yunniang didn't force it, and picked up the clothes beside the bed and wanted to put them on her.

Niu Niu shook her head: "I want to dress myself, I can dress myself."

Niu Niu did everything in the Zhang family, and she learned to dress herself by herself under the abuse of Xiao Cai and Mrs. Cai.

Zhang Yunniang dressed her gently and said: "Mother likes to dress Niu Niu, Niu Niu doesn't like mother to help dress her?"

Niu Niu was stunned.

When she was in the Zhang family, she didn't know how much she envied Jin Bao, the whole family revolved around him, and she didn't need to do anything by herself. Every day, Xiao Cai did everything for her to dress and comb her hair.

After helping her put on her clothes, Zhang Yunniang picked up the comb beside her and gently combed her hair, asking, "Do you want to comb one small tuft or two small tufts today?"

Perhaps because Gu Mingda's words yesterday untied her knot, Niuniu couldn't help but have a strange idea in her mind: "I want to comb five, two in front and three in the back, mother, is it okay? Will it be troublesome?"

Although Zhang Yunniang thought this idea was strange, she would not refuse her daughter's request and said, "We got up early today, so we can spend the whole morning combing our hair."

Niuniu nestled in Zhang Yunniang's arms and smiled sweetly. She really enjoyed the time with her mother. She felt warm and at ease in her heart, as if she was wrapped in soft clouds.

When it was bright, Gu Yan got up and started reading in the morning.

Other readers might get up to read at the crowing of the cock, but Gu Mingda never liked Gu Yan to read too early in the morning.

The light in the morning was not very good. Even if you lit a candle, it was not as bright as in the daytime. Gu Mingda had seen many scholars who had damaged their eyes because of studying too hard. Therefore, although he hoped that his son would work hard, he did not want him to work hard to the point of damaging his body.

After Zhang Yunniang finished taking care of Niuniu's hair, she began to prepare breakfast for the three children.

Niuniu followed Zhang Yunniang like a little tail. She wanted to help her mother cook, but was stopped by Zhang Yunniang.

"Mom is busy and doesn't need your help. Your two brothers didn't help. You can just watch from the side." Zhang Yunniang said with a smile.

Niuniu said, "But my brother is a boy and I am a girl. Shouldn't girls do these things?"

Zhang Yunniang insisted on this matter. She and Gu Mingda had already reached an agreement on this matter.

They had four children. Even if Gu Mingda didn't take the imperial examination, he would not be short of money, so he would not treat the children differently.

Since the generation of Mrs. Gu, the Gu family has not been a family that favors boys over girls. Although girls will get married sooner or later, they are still their own flesh and blood.

Niuniu may have to do these things in the future, but the couple hopes not before marriage. If Niuniu can study in the future, Gu Mingda will also work hard to cultivate her into a talented woman so that she does not have to be trapped in the trivial matters of the inner house for her whole life.

"Brothers are the children of our parents, and you are also their child. There is nothing you should or shouldn't do. You should share the work equally in the future. If you really want to help your mother with work now, go call your two brothers over and I will divide the work for you." Zhang Yunniang said.

Niuniu's eyes widened slightly, and after hesitating for a long time, she said, "Forget it."

The eldest brother was reading and the third brother was sleeping. Niuniu felt that these were very important things and didn't want to disturb them.

Zhang Yunniang nodded. It was just making breakfast. It was not hard at all. Compared with other women, her life was actually very easy.

And when she turned around, she could see her daughter sitting obediently beside her with a sweet smile on her face.

Zhang Yunniang took out an egg, cracked it and poured it carefully into the bowl, sprinkled a few grains of salt into it, and then poured it with the hot water that had just boiled.

The egg liquid was washed away and floated in the bowl like a flower, exuding a mouth-watering fragrance.

"You must be hungry after getting up so early. Eat the egg flowers first." Zhang Yunniang handed the bowl to Niuniu.

Niuniu used to envy Jinbao for eating egg flowers frequently. When she was at the old Gu family, Zhang Yunniang couldn't cook for her, but after entering the capital, she would make her a bowl of hot egg flowers almost every morning.

Niuniu was used to eating it, but at this time she suddenly asked: "My brothers didn't eat egg flowers, so should I not eat it too?"
