Fifty-two Mid-Autumn Festival
At the beginning of August, Hebei's Mid-Autumn Festival arrived.
Qiu Shi took the gift list, swept it, handed it to Li's mother, and said, "Take it and register it." "Anyway, the Guogong Mansion doesn't rely on the New Year's gift of the third master, so she won't be so sulky anymore.
Mother Li didn't express an opinion on the gift list, but said something else: "The third master gave the third girl a lot of good things this time, but the fourth girl didn't have anything." ”
Qiu didn't want to complain anymore: "It's not surprising that it's like this every time." "Every New Year's holiday, I will prepare gifts for Yuchen alone, and Yuxi has always ignored it.
Li's mother said, "How can this be the same? Now the four girls are also studying with Mr. Song. The fourth girl is so good now, even if it can't compare to the third girl, it won't be bad in the future. The third master is not afraid of chilling the hearts of the fourth girl when he does this. "The fourth girl is good, and she can marry a good family in the future, which is also beneficial to the family. If the father and daughter are out of harmony, even if the four girls marry into a good family, it will not help the family.
Qiu didn't think so, and said with a smile: "Chilling? The gifts are all prepared by the Wu family, and Yuxi will only blame the Wu family if he wants to blame it, how can he blame the third child. It's like these gifts, do you think the third master really doesn't know? "How smart is that little uncle, he doesn't know that the Wu family's etiquette is getting less and less? It's just that I want to save more money for myself.
Although Yuchen got a lot of good things, but she was not happy at all, Yuchen found the old lady and said, "Grandmother, she only gave me things alone, but the fourth sister didn't." Over the years, I'm afraid that my fourth sister will have a dislike for me. "She has spent a lot of time with Yuxi, and she has cultivated her feelings after birth. She didn't want to let these messes affect her sisterhood with Ok-hee.
The old lady put down the teacup and asked, "Then what do you think should be done?" ”
Yuchen said: "Either I will buy a gift for the fourth sister, or don't give it away." Grandmother, tell your mother about this! "In the past, it was just small things that were sent, and everyone didn't say anything about it, so they covered it up. This time, the Wu family sent her two boxes of things alone, and it was difficult not to criticize. Yuchen sensed from this gift that the Wu clan was uneasy and kind, and he was about to stir up the wind and rain before he showed up. When I come back, the mansion will definitely not be peaceful.
The old lady bowed her head and said, "I will mention this to your father." "Yuchen is a junior, it's hard to talk about these things, and she has to come forward.
The maids and mothers-in-law of the Rose Courtyard were all upset for Yuxi, but unfortunately Yuxi, who was the party concerned, didn't take this matter to heart at all, but instead thought about her bun shop and grocery store: "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be over in a few days, and the business of the grocery store should be very good, right?" "The grocery store opened by Yuxi is a little more expensive than others because of the good things, but the residents who live on Shangyuan Street generally have some extra money and are willing to do it, so the business of the grocery store is not bad. In the first month, he earned six taels of silver, and the prospects are very impressive.
Hong Shan said with a smile: "Girl, the mooncakes in our shop are so delicious, they will definitely sell well." Speaking of which, this is also luck, because the woman who made the moon cakes was not found by Fang's mother, but took the initiative to find the door. This woman's surname is Zhou, and she overheard that Fang's mother wanted to hire a woman who would do the interview, so she took the initiative to find her. Zhou's Jiangnan food is very authentic, and the mooncakes are also very good. Fang's mother tasted what she made and hired her.
The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Han Jianye returned.
Yuxi took Zi Jin to see Han Jianye and said that he wanted Zi Jin to learn martial arts with him. Han Jianye shook his head and said, "Xi'er, the martial arts of the master cannot be passed on. ”
Yuxi said: "Second brother, didn't you let Zi Jin learn your master's mastery, but you didn't succeed in guiding Zi Jin in two moves?" ”
Han Jianye shook his head and said, "No." Even if she is to instruct her, she has to consult the master first. If I let the master know that I will teach martial arts to others without her consent, I am afraid that I will be expelled from the master at that time. ”
Yuxi was taken aback, if he was really expelled from the division, the future of the second brother would be gone. Yuxi hurriedly said: "If that's the case, then forget it." ”
Han Jianye said with a smile: "When I go back to the mountain, I will ask the master first, if his old man agrees, I will teach this little girl two tricks at that time." ”
Yuxi nodded and said, "Second brother, don't sue anyone else about this!" "Don't Zi Jin haven't learned kung fu yet, let the old lady punish her first.
Han Jianye said with a smile: "Don't sue others." Yuxi, you've lost a lot of weight recently! Han Jianye still thinks that Yuxi, who was white and chubby, round and mellow, looks good.
Yuxi said: "No, it's still the same as before." ”
Han Jianye smiled and pinched Yuxi's face: "Well, everything is still the same as before, there is no flesh on the face, and there are bones left." Eat more, it's better to be fat for nothing! ”
Yuxi's head is full of black lines, is it okay to be white and fat? When she's a fat doll wow! This second brother's temperament is really out-of-the-box, and he doesn't know when he will be able to mature.
During the New Year's holidays, the masters of the Guogong Mansion all eat together. The Mid-Autumn Festival is no exception, and everyone gathers in the upper courtyard.
Yuxi looked at the poor aunt who should not have appeared but appeared, and sighed in her heart. You must know that although Aunt Rong was favored before, she never appeared during the New Year's holidays. This poor aunt is a good means to get the old lady to agree to appear at the reunion of the whole family.
Looking for an opportunity, Yuxi asked Liu Yin in a low voice: "Sister Liu Yin, why did Aunt Pian appear here?" ”
Liu Yin said with a smile: "Aunt Lian is pregnant, so the old lady specially allowed her to attend today's dinner." "Aunt Pian's pregnancy has been concealed all this time, and even her wife has been concealed, and she has not said it until the first three months.
Yuxi's eyes moved, and even the eldest aunt hid it, and Aunt Pian's behavior was obviously not worrying about the eldest aunt. However, if you can hide the first three months, you must have subdued all the maids and women who served around you. This method is better than Aunt Rong's. I don't know where the old lady found such a powerful character.
Liu Yin saw that Yuxi's expression was not very good, but she was ironed in her heart, and she did not lose her wife to the four girls on weekdays: "Don't worry, girl, Aunt Pian is still acting in a measured manner, and she is not as pampered and arrogant as Aunt Rong." Moreover, the old lady will not let Aunt Pian go beyond the rules. ”
Yuxi looked at Aunt Pian, who was pregnant and still standing to give Qiu's cloth vegetables, and smiled lightly: "The rules are not regular, they vary from person to person. "No matter how powerful Aunt Pity is, she will not shake the status of the eldest aunt, but there is a favorite concubine like Aunt Rong, which still makes people deserve it. It's just that it's useless for Yuxi to worry about it, this kind of thing can't be interfered with.
After worshipping the moon, everyone gathered around to eat moon cakes. The old lady smiled and said to Yuchen: "Chen'er, today is the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you play a song to help the fun." ”
Yuchen immediately instructed the maid to fetch the piano and played a very cheerful tune.
Listening to the melodious sound of the piano and eating delicious pastries and fruits, Yuxi felt very enjoyable.
After playing a song, Yujing said with a smile: "The third sister played really well. Fourth sister, I heard that your painting is very good, I wonder if the fourth sister can paint the beautiful scenery tonight? Yuxi knew that Yujing couldn't hide her nature, and she couldn't settle down after just a few days: "I learned to paint from my husband, but my painting skills are far worse than the third sister, so I won't be ugly." Yuxi doesn't care that others say that Yuchen is better than her, because Yuchen is indeed better than her, this is a fact, she can't avoid and taboo. However, everyone has their own strengths, and she also has skills that Yuchen can't match, such as embroidery, although this skill is a bit cheaper.
Yuchen smiled lightly: "The fourth sister is modest. Mr. Song told Yuchen that Yuxi was talented in painting, but Yuxi preferred embroidery and spent very little time on painting, which made Mr. Song feel embarrassed. Yuchen actually can't understand it, is embroidery more important than painting! If it were her, she would definitely learn painting rather than embroidery.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Han Jianye returned to the mountain.
What Yuxi didn't expect was that a few days later, Han Jianye's personal entourage sent her a boxing book. Han Jianye's personal entourage said: "Fourth girl, after Master Yang heard the young master talk about Zi Jin, he gave this boxing book, saying that let Zi Jin girl practice according to this boxing book. ”
After the others left, Yuxi opened this boxing book, and it was all kinds of moves, well, she actually couldn't understand this thing. Yuxi gave this boxing book to Zi Jin and said, "When you're fine, just practice according to the pictures in this book, and you have to practice every day without stopping, you know?" ”
Zi Jin didn't think about it, so she responded: "Okay." "It's much easier to learn this than to learn words. Don't look at only three words a day, but every day adds up to a lot. And she forgot after she finished learning, and she didn't forget it quickly. Every time she was reprimanded by the girl, she wanted to cry.
Yuxi said: "If you practice boxing, go to the backyard to practice, don't be in the front yard, remember?" "Zi Jin can't hide this kind of thing like practicing boxing, and Yuxi hasn't thought about hiding it. However, the front yard is full of people, and it will be troublesome if it hits someone, and the backyard is spacious, and no one walks around, so Zi Jin can play casually.
Zi Jin nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay." ”
At the end of the month, Yuchen and Mr. Song said, "Sir, grandmother said that the nurturing grandmother would come in two days. When Grandma Parenting came, I couldn't study with my husband all day. ”
Every year in September, the palace will release a group of people, these nobles in the palace who have served the concubines and grandmothers have become hot people, and the powerful families want to welcome these people home to teach their own girls. The old lady has already picked someone and is just waiting to welcome them back to the house.
Mr. Song had already received the news, and he was not surprised by this, and said: "In the future, I will come to Yulan Garden every morning and morning, and learn the rules from my grandmother in the afternoon." I'll give you a new timetable for the next class. "In fact, if Mr. Song wants to say that Yuchen's rules and etiquette are already excellent, and there is no need to educate his grandmother at all. It's just that there is no room for her to peck at this kind of thing.
