Chapter 63: Politeness is light and affection is heavy
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year, and Hebei's New Year's gift has also been delivered.
Qiu Shi looked at the gift list and said with a smile: "The third old man is getting bigger and bigger, and this gift is getting less and less."
Knock on the door.
Mother Li said: "Madam, don't look at it, let the old slave take it to the warehouse for them!" "It's just idle when you see it, and it's better to be out of sight.
After receiving the gift list, Li's mother said, "Madam, I heard that the third master sent two large boxes of things to the fourth girl this time.
Qiu said: "It should be the old lady who spoke!" "The only one who has a position to speak is the old lady, so it's easy to guess.
Yuxi, who got the gift, looked very calm, and he couldn't see joy or sadness.
Son: "Look at what you sent?" ”
Two large boxes of things, one of which is Zanhuang golden silk jujube, dried apricot and plum, dried Yali and other things; The other box is a few paintings made of white reeds, which are very distinctive, including cranes, old men fishing, eagles spreading their wings and wanting to fly.
Yuxi instructed people to pack up everything: "Put the food in the kitchen." The crane hangs in my study, and "Old Man Fishing"
"The Eagle Spreads Its Wings and Wants to Fly" will be saved first, and I will give it to my second brother when the time comes.
Give it to the eldest brother, receive a gift, as long as it is not a single piece, there is nothing wrong with taking the extra to give it away. But now the problem is that Ok-hee got the gift for the first time, but he was not excited at all, but was able to distribute the gift calmly. This attitude makes people have to think deeply.
In the afternoon, Yuxi went to Tingyun Pavilion to learn the rules as usual. Seeing Yuchen's smile on his face, he asked, "Did the third sister get something good?" ”
Yuchen smiled: "It's not a good thing, just a set of bone china tea sets." What did the fourth sister get? ”
Yuxi avoided the importance and said lightly: "Dad sent me several paintings, these paintings are very distinctive, I picked a crane and hung it in the study."
Yuchen's mood is a little complicated, and her father doesn't seem to have sent her a painting. In Yuchen's heart, the painting given by her father must be a famous artist's painting: "Really? Can I go to your yard later to see the painting my father gave you? ”
Yuxi hesitated a little, and finally nodded slowly: "Naturally, you can."
When Mama Quan saw Yuxi, she didn't start teaching the rules, but asked: "The third master came back with a New Year's gift today, and the third girl was very happy to get the gift, didn't the fourth girl get a gift?" ”
Yuxi nodded and said, "Yes, two big boxes." ”
Mama Quan asked Yuxi to sit down, and she also sat cross-legged in front of Yuxi and asked, "Then why didn't I see joy on your face?" ”
Yuxi no longer bowed her head, because she was taught by Grandma Quan to be a childish person before, so she didn't bow her head, but she didn't speak, and she was silent.
Quan Mama said: "Do you have a grudge in your heart? Complaining about the third master's indifference to you over the years, even if he sent you something this time, you still have a grudge. ”
Where would Yuxi bear this name: "I have no resentment, he is my father, the biological father who gave birth to me and raised me."
The thing is also very happy, but it is not as happy as the third sister. After a pause, he said: "The third sister got a complete set of bone china tea sets, and I two."
The big boxes are not as valuable as a cup of the third sister.
Mama Quan was stunned for a moment, but soon reprimanded Yuxi with a straight face: "Don't say that your father sent two big boxes of things, that is, he gave you a feather, which is also a thought of you, and it is your father's father's loving heart."
Yuxi wanted to laugh when she heard the words of fatherly heart, Han Jingyan ignored her for sixteen years in her previous life, and she treated her as nothing for sixteen years, and when she heard that she was unwilling to marry Jiang Hongjin, she actually threw a white silk to her. It was a great irony for Han Jingyan to use his fatherly heart, but unfortunately Yuxi didn't laugh, but cried, tears ran down his cheeks, and fell to the ground drop by drop.
Mama Quan has been in the Guogong Mansion for more than three months, and she is relatively clear about Yuxi's situation, so she is not surprised that Yuxi will complain.
It wasn't until Yuxi finished crying that she handed a handkerchief, which made Yuxi cry in front of her, and she didn't persuade her, so she sat there and watched Yuxi cry.
To Yuxi, his words were also much softer: "Wipe your tears!" ”
After Yu Xihui calmed down, he said embarrassedly: "Don't be surprised, Mama. ”
Mama Quan didn't blame, but said: "Fourth girl, filial piety is the foundation of human beings, and if you lose filial piety, no matter how talented and beautiful you are, you will not be allowed to live in the world!" After a pause, he said: "Moreover, whether a woman is before or after marriage, without the support of her father and brother, she will have a very difficult life." ”
Yuxi smiled bitterly: "I know what Mama said, it's just ......" After a pause, Yuxi said: "I don't hide it from Mama, I haven't seen my father since I was born, and the people around me don't like me and my father don't like me, and they don't like my mother, they all say I'm superfluous." So I think that the gift I received this time should have been prepared for me by my stepmother, and my father didn't know about it.
Quan Mama said in disagreement: "Fourth girl, that's also your mother."
Even if she is a stepfamily, it is your elder. When you face her, you have to be polite and thoughtful, so that people can't make mistakes.
Yuxi knew the meaning of Grandma Quan's words: "Mama, I will correct it." "There's a lot more to learn.
Mama Quan directly omitted the third lady. She has been in the Guogong Mansion for so long, and she knows that there is an old lady and the lady in charge, even if the Wu family comes back, Yuxi will not be bullied, as long as Yuxi has a few more courtesies, there is nothing else to worry about. Mama Quan said: "Four girls, parents who are all in the world. You must remember that the third master is not only your closest person, but also your greatest dependence. You must be respectful and filial to the third master. "Respectful and filial, and thoughtful with etiquette, although they are all four words, but the inside is very different.
When Yuxi heard this, he said very painfully: "Mama, I don't know what to do.
She must suppress her resentment in her heart, and then try to please the old lady and her father, but she can't do it, she can't pretend to like it even though she is disgusted, and she can't be happy and angry.
Mama Quan looked at Yuxi, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she was too demanding, after all, a five-year-old child had been treated unfairly. Is it hard to do what it is now? Playing with the skeleton and pulling out a mountain of Tang and a witch Luo?
Yuxi showed a relaxed look on his face: "Thank you, Mama." ”
Mama Quan shook her head and said, "No thanks." Raising a grandmother is not only to teach rules and etiquette, but also to teach people to behave in the world and socialize, and to be in charge of the family and control the skills. She can't guarantee whether she is sincere and filial, but what she wants to ensure is that Yuxi can't make mistakes in terms of life.
Yuxi was stunned, it turned out that the upbringing grandmother taught so many things, no wonder Yuchen later went out to socialize and socialize, and later became a queen and was praised as having the demeanor of the mother of the country, it turned out that the upbringing grandma occupied such a large weight.
's old woman is not worthy of being called a nurturing grandmother at all.
Mama Quan asked, "What, do you think it's too much?" ”
Yuxi hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I'm just very happy, I'm glad to be able to learn so many things from Mama in the future."
With sexual things, I learned to be used for life.
Quan Mama said lightly: "I will teach, but how much you can learn and what you can learn depends on yourself."
Well said, the master led the way in, and the cultivation was personal.
Yuxi nodded hurriedly and said, "I will definitely study hard." ”
When it was time, Yuxi would leave class. As soon as he got out of the house, he saw Yuchen's personal maid Qin waiting in the courtyard. The waiter was left by Qing Yuxi for dinner: "When dinner is over, my girl wants to go to the Rose Courtyard with the fourth girl to see the paintings."
Yuxi's face flashed with strangeness, looking at the painting, what is so beautiful about the painting made of reeds? At this time, Yuxi didn't think at all that Yuchen "Since she was invited to stay, she can also take the opportunity to taste the medicinal food made by Mama Quan."
would think that Han Jingyan gave her a famous painting: "Okay."
Looking at the table full of dishes, the plates on the table are all blue and white porcelain on a white ground, and the chopsticks on the plate are glowing with a warm luster at this time, and when you look carefully, the chopsticks are all made of ivory.
Yuxi thinks it's too extravagant, and it's really the old lady's favorite granddaughter! Even the plates and chopsticks are so exquisite. However, it is not too wasteful to slowly take a large table of dishes. I slander in my heart, but I won't say it.
Yuchen looked at the clothes, went to the dining room, saw Yuxi, and said with a smile: "The fourth sister has been waiting for a long time, right?" ”
Yuxi shook his head: "No, I just arrived." ”
At this time, four maids walked in outside, the first holding a glass of water, the second holding an empty basin, the third holding a copper basin of water, and the fourth holding a handkerchief.
Yuxi saw Yuchen rinse his mouth first, then spit it out into the second basin, then wash his hands in the copper basin, and finally took a handkerchief to dry his hands.
Yuxi's eyes flashed, it was not that she had not been served by the maid, but she did not have such a big formation as Yuchen.
didn't say anything, but also took the tea handed over by another maid, and the next action was the same as Yuchen.
After the two sat down, Yuchen said with a smile: "I don't know what dishes the fourth sister likes, wait for the next time, I will ask the cook to cook the dishes that the fourth sister likes, and this time I will invite the fourth sister to order." ”
Yuxi's Chinese dinner is four dishes and one soup, and Yuxi feels a bit wasteful of such specifications, and she doesn't know how much the dishes on this table will cost: "Third sister, I'm not a picky eater, I love to eat everything." "People who have experienced hunger, where will they still be picky eaters.
The dishes on this table are not only full of color and flavor, but also taste very good, which is comparable to the cook on the old lady's side.
Yuxi was full for seven minutes, and she didn't plan to eat it again, but she didn't expect the maid to bring another bowl of medicinal food. Now, if you don't eat it, you have to eat it.
After taking the first bite, Yuxi almost rolled her tongue in, it was so delicious.
I've lived for more than 20 years in my last life, and I've never eaten anything so delicious, so I've lived in vain.
food.
After dinner, the maid brought tea to rinse her mouth, and then cleaned it. Yu Xicai asked, "Third sister, this medicinal diet is so delicious, who made it?" In fact, Yuxi guessed that it was Mama Quan who did it.
Yuchen smiled and said, "This is made by Mama Quan, and I use a bowl every day." Yuchen, who was accustomed to good things, was also shocked when he first ate the medicinal food made by Mama Quan.
