Those Years When I Was Cannon Fodder

After Chu Yu learned of the result, she did not raise any objection.

Mother Xu hugged her and sobbed softly, feeling sorry for her, "My poor third lady..."

But Chu Yu said, "Mother Xu, I'm still young, so I can read first. In two years, I'll be older, and maybe my mother will allow me to go to class with my eldest sister and second sister."

"Miss San, you don't know that among the teachers invited by the master, there are people with etiquette, people who are proficient in musical instruments, and..." Having said this, Mama Xu paused, "Miss, these things have to be learned from elementary school, after being immersed in them. , when you really get started, you won't be tied down."

"It turns out that there are etiquette and musical instruments."

Chu Yu thought, this is the hobby course that all the ladies in ancient times had to learn, but she didn't care.

Etiquette and so on, you can learn it later, anyway, you can just pretend.

As for interest courses such as musical instruments and calligraphy.

She can practice calligraphy by herself first. As for musical instruments, Chu Yu has also learned it before, such as the flute and piano, so she knows a little bit.

But it is not profound, and she has no intention of further study.

Chu Yu, who was only five years old at this time, knew nothing about the outside world. She didn't know that she would regret this decision in the future.

"Mother Xu, I don't want to take the medicine. The medicine is so bitter and smelly. My mouth is bitter all day."

Before anyone left, Chu Yu said quickly.

However, when Mother Xu let her in on other matters, she had a determined look on her face at this time.

"No, Miss San, your body is weak, and you managed to raise it to such a large size. The medicine cannot be stopped."

I knew it would be like this.

Chu Yu thought to herself, "Then Mom, can you make those medicines into desserts? Just like the ones I ate just now."

She begged with her eyes, and put her big watery eyes in front of Xu's mother. You must not bear the request of such a cute little loli. Right?

"It's impossible to make a snack..." Mother Xu didn't care, she laughed, halfway through, she seemed to remember something,

"I seem to have heard what Dr. Xu said about medicines and food, and the yam cake he made, and he sent it to me once. It is said that a lot of medicinal materials for nourishing blood and nourishing the kidney are added..."

"Yeah, if you make it into a snack, it won't be bitter."

Chu Yu knew that she could not achieve her request not to drink medicine, so she asked for the next best thing. As long as it was not bitter, she would endure it.

…

After Xu's mother left reluctantly, Chu Yu watched the scenery for a while, and suddenly the third lady's soft voice came from behind,

"Little fish, it's time to drink the medicine."

Between the lightning and flint, a word flashed in Chu Yu's mind, "Dalang, it's time for you to drink the medicine."

She turned around helplessly, and she was indeed the third lady who was still dressed in plain clothes and very elegant, but was a little bit separated from her gorgeous face.

The third lady handed out the spoon. Chu Yu looked at the pitch-black Chinese medicinal water and quietly prepared herself for a while before she said, "Mother, let me drink it myself."

Then, she took the bowl of medicine and drank it.

Before the hands and feet were weak, I asked the third lady to feed her, that's all, how can this thing of traditional Chinese medicine be taken one by one?

The third lady looked at her with a smile. After drinking all the medicine, she encouraged her, "I knew that Xiao Yu'er is the best. If you drink the medicine earlier, Xiao Yu'er will get better sooner."

Chu Yu wrinkled her face and said in great pain, "Mother, do you have any sweets? I want to eat it, but my mouth is so bitter."

The third lady's expression froze, and she quickly said, "Xiao Yu'er, please bear with me first, mother, go and ask someone in the kitchen."

As she said that, she was about to turn around, Chu Yu sighed in her heart, this is too unwelcome, a dignified third lady, still needs to beg.

Chu Yu said, "Mother don't need to ask them, let Mother Xu bring it to me."

The third lady shook her head, "Mother Xu is not easy. We need to trouble her less."

Chu Yu asked, "Then why don't you ask daddy for it?"

A flash of excitement flashed in the third lady's eyes, "Xiao Yu'er, you can call daddy over."

When Chu Yu saw her expression, she knew that it was the third lady who wanted to see the father of the city owner.

Is the word love so terrible? It can take a woman for five years, and she has never forgotten it.

Anyway, Chu Yu didn't understand.

She responded vaguely.

Actually, Chu Yu didn't feel that she could interfere in the affairs between the city lord's father and the cheap mother.

That city lord father doesn't seem to be easy to fool, and it seems that he has a lot of opinions on the third lady.

Looking at the joy in the eyes of the third lady, Chu Yu thought to herself, all she can do is to let the city master father come to see her more, and the third lady by the way.

In this way, the servants in the family did not dare to be so perfunctory to her.

There is a third lady in the dignified way, and her life is not as good as that of a maidservant.

…

"Little fish, it's time to drink the medicine."

Chu Yu could clearly feel that she was dreaming, the dream was a dark gray-blue, and the third lady was slowly walking towards her with a bowl of medicine.

Perhaps against this somewhat terrifying background, the loving smile on the third lady's face seemed to Chu Yu at this time, but there was a hint of madness.

Her voice was lowered a little bit.

In the past, what Chu Yu liked most was her voice, but at this moment, a chill rose from the bottom of her heart. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

"Little fish, it's time to drink the medicine."

She handed over the bowl of medicine.

In the dream, Chu Yu kept retreating, and strong resistance rose from her heart.

She kept shaking her head and said, "Mother, I don't want to drink, I don't want to drink."

However, the third lady grabbed her, opened her mouth, and poured medicine into her mouth. Chu Yu was choked and coughed, and she woke up in horror.

Opening her eyes, she sat up abruptly, but Chu Yu couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

She touched the cold sweat on her forehead. At this moment, the fear of being controlled and forced to drink medicine still lingered in her heart.

On Chu Yu's tender face, there was a helplessness that did not belong to a child.

"It seems that this traditional Chinese medicine has left a huge psychological shadow on me. Even in my dreams, I resist like this. It's because I am too young now. Otherwise, why would it be so troublesome if I dispense the medicine myself?"

"I hope Mommy Xu can give me good news tomorrow."

When she woke up the next day, Chu Yu's face had completely lost its ruddy look, and she was rather haggard. She covered her mouth and nose and yawned.

The third lady looked at her nervously, "Xiao Yu'er, did you sleep well? Why don't you go to sleep again?"

Saying that, the third lady is about to reach out and touch Chu Yu's forehead.

Chu Yu instinctively took a step back and avoided her hand.

Seeing the strange and doubtful eyes of the third lady, Chu Yu knew that she was influenced by last night's dream and overreacted, deliberately pretending to be a child resisting,

"Mother, I don't have a fever, I don't want to take medicine."

Sure enough, the third lady didn't realize that something was wrong, her eyes softened, and she said angrily, "Whether you want to take medicine or not, it's not the mother who has the final say, but the doctor who has the final say."
