After the two finished talking, it was already time for lunch. Yuxi's daily meal is three dishes and one soup, and today's hunger is no exception, which are steamed sea bass, jade shrimp, crispy fried tofu and sauerkraut pork ribs and bitter bamboo shoots, as well as two side dishes.
Yuxi has a good appetite now, and after eating a bowl of rice, half of the dishes on the table have been swept away. After eating, I drank another cup of soy milk, and honey was added to it. It's a pity that there are no conditions, if there are conditions, she must be the same as Yuchen, drinking goat's milk every day.
After resting, Yuxi went to take a nap. When there was no one in the room, Yuxi opened his eyes and looked at the pattern on the top of the bed and thought about what had just happened. She didn't know if Mother Shen's words were instructed by the old lady, but it was absolutely impossible for her to respect her like an eldest aunt. Not to mention that the old lady was cold and indifferent to her in her previous life, but to say that when she had smallpox, the old lady would treat her, and her doctor would leave her to fend for herself, which cut off the love of her ancestors and grandchildren.
Yuxi didn't know why the old lady was suddenly kind to her, but she knew very well that the old lady was definitely doing this for a purpose. It's just that she is under the eaves and has to bow her head, she can't get out of the Guogong Mansion now, so she can only bow her head according to what Shen's mother said.
Since then, Yuxi has been going to greet the old lady first every day, and then going to greet the Qiu family. However, the attitude is clear, she is more respectful and less cordial when she goes to the room, and when she is in the main courtyard, she will try to amuse Qiu's family.
Shen's mother was too worried, thinking that taking her time in this matter would backfire if she was in a hurry.
On this day, when Yuxi went to ask for peace to the Qiu family, he saw Aunt Pian again. Aunt Pian wore a peach-colored brocade Hangzhou silk cardigan, a light purple phoenix tail skirt tied at the waist, and a cloisonnΓ© enamel fish-shaped tassel on her head swayed, exuding a moving charm all over her body.
Seeing that Yuxi was coming, the Qiu family smiled and said to Aunt Pian: "I know your heart, go down!" Although her husband has doted on the concubine over the years, Qiu feels that she is still very blessed with such a reasonable mother-in-law. also has this grateful heart, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have gotten along very well over the years. But later, because of Yuxi's matter, she was jealous of the old lady.
This time, the old lady rewarded Aunt Pian, and at first it also made the Qiu family worry for a long time, not that she was afraid that Aunt Pian would compete for favor or something, but now her focus is on her son and the housekeeping in the mansion, and she doesn't care about her husband and many women at all. She was only worried about whether her mother-in-law was dissatisfied with her, but when she saw that although Aunt Lian was favored by the grandfather of the country, she was well-behaved and not as proud as Aunt Rong, so her worries were dispelled.
The Qiu family didn't care, but Aunt Rong was terrified. In the past, she was wronged a little, and Grandpa Guo would stand up for her, but now she has been under house arrest in Yiran Courtyard for so long, not only did Guogong not fight to let her be released from house arrest, but only went to Yiran Courtyard twice. Aunt Rong is not as good as Qiu's, Qiu's is the wife of the main family, and she has a son, she is also doing well without Grandpa Guo, but Aunt Rong's life's honor and disgrace are all pinned on Grandpa Guo. Once she loses the favor of Grandpa Guo, she will have to fall into the quagmire.
Aunt Rong heard that Grandpa Guo went to Aunt Pian's yard, and her face was distorted: "What did you say?
Xiaojuan said timidly: "Yes." "For more than a month, Grandpa Guo has spent most of his time in Aunt Pian's yard. She was afraid that by the time her master was discharged from the hospital, it would have changed outside.
Aunt Rong can't bite Aunt Lian to death, but she can't see Grandpa Guo in Yiran Courtyard under house arrest now, and no matter how many ideas and means she has, she can't use it.
The weather was hot, and Yuxi was very stuffy, muttering, "It would be nice if it rained." β
As soon as the words fell, white lights flashed outside, like a sharp sword wielded by a swordsman. After a while, the thunder boomed and shook the ground. Immediately after that, the raindrops of soybeans fell one after another.
Mo Ju smiled and said, "The girl's words are really effective. β
Yu Xi smiled: "It's just a coincidence." β
The summer rain comes and goes quickly. The rain stopped in less than a quarter of an hour. The day after the rain is particularly blue, and the air is particularly fresh.
Yuxi came out of the house, it was raining, and it was much cooler.
Mother Shen came back from outside at this time and brought good news to Yuxi: "Girl, the old lady has already invited Mr. for several girls. β
Yuxi remembered one thing, if she remembered correctly, it should be Mr. Song who was invited this time. Mr. Song's name is Song Mingyue, born in a scholarly family, free and intelligent, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, and was known as the first talented woman in the capital back then. After marrying the second master of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, Lu Song, the Song family had an accident, and it was rumored that the Lu family wanted her to die. In the end, I don't know what means she used to make peace with Luzon.
After leaving, Song Mingyue took out the dowry to help the Song family through the most difficult time, and then combed her hair and started to enlighten the famous ladies in Beijing. Because she was famous as a girl, many rich and noble people invited her.
Yuxi asked, "Which gentleman is you invited?"
Mother Shen smiled and said, "Girl, this time I invited Mr. Song." Mr. Song is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs, and the girl can use it for a lifetime as long as she learns a little bit of it. β
Yuxi said hesitantly: "Mom, I heard that Mr. Song's teaching is quite strict, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it then!" Mr. Song is very famous, but her strict teaching method is also famous. It is said that few people can survive from her hands. Of course, those who survive can learn a lot of practical things in the end.
Shen's mother was stunned and said, "Girl, if you suffer hardship, you will become a master." As long as the girl can get through it, it will be much easier to get married in the future. β
There are many people who want to invite Mr. Song, but no matter how powerful she is, she will pick if she can't meet her requirements. The first is that no matter how she teaches her children, the host must not interfere, and the second is that after three months of teaching, she will not continue to teach if there is no student who satisfies her. I don't know how many people have been stumped by these two items. However, the girls who met Mr. Song's requirements later became famous and married well. This is why Mr. Song's teaching is very strict, but he is still popular with the powerful.
Yuxi's face was entangled: "You let me think again." β
After Shen's mother went out, Yuxi took off her disguise and showed a look of ambition. Needless to say, Shen's mother must also learn from Mr. Song. As Shen's mother said, learning from Mr. Song can be used for a lifetime.
Yuxi deliberately stayed in the house for a long time, making Shen's mother think that she was struggling. She didn't come out until the evening dinner, and then went straight to the upper room to find the old lady.
Yuxi didn't beat around the bush, and directly explained his intention: "Grandmother, I heard that our mansion is going to invite Mr. Song, grandmother, I also want to study together." β
Old Madam Han frowned, this time she asked Mr. Song She really didn't count Yuxi into it. It's not that she is prejudiced against Yuxi or anything, but that Yuxi is too young: "Mr. Song's teaching is very strict, and you can't stand it at a young age." You are still young, and it will not be too late for enlightenment in two years. β
Yuxi said: "Grandmother, I will definitely study hard not to drag my three sisters back." β
Old Madam Han still didn't agree.
Yuxi knelt on the ground and said, "Grandmother, you let me and my sister learn from Mr. Song together! Grandmother, Yuxi begs you." β
Mrs. Han's henchman Mother Luo said with a smile: "It's rare that the fourth girl is so self-motivated, the old lady will fulfill the fourth girl!"
Old Madam Han frowned, and finally said: "Mr. Song's requirements are very strict, even if I agree, if Mr. Song does not agree, it will be in vain." β
Yuxi immediately said, "Grandmother, I will definitely ask Mr. Song for permission." β
After Mrs. Han waited for Yuxi to leave, she said, "This girl is indeed like a different person now. "The old lady didn't like Yuxi before, firstly, because she didn't like Ning's, and then she didn't like Yuxi, and on the other hand, Yuxi always looked depressed, as if she had been abused, and she looked at her diaphragm badly. But since she recovered, the gloom on this girl's face has dissipated. Mrs. Han felt that she might have experienced life and death, so she was also relaxed.
Mother Luo smiled and patted the old lady's ass: "This is also what the old lady taught." Since Shen's mother went to the Rose Courtyard, the girl has become more and more disciplined. "In the past, the four girls were very taboo to the old lady, but now they come to say hello every day, and they will accompany the old lady to say a few words. Although it can't be compared with the three girls, it is much better.
Old Madam Han squinted her eyes and didn't say anything more.
Qiu Shi knew that Yuxi begged Mrs. Han to study with Yuru and them, and said: "Mr. Song's teaching is very strict, if you don't meet her requirements, you have to fight with your heart, aren't you afraid?"
Yuxi said that he was not afraid.
Qiu's Zhengse said: "You have to think about it." Once you learn from Mr. Song, no matter how hard and tired you are, you can't give up halfway, otherwise it will damage your reputation. The girl's reputation is not good, and it will be difficult to marry in the future. "Of course, the Qiu family is to scare Yuxi even if Yuxi can't insist, but no one will say anything if she can't hold on to her age. The main reason is that Mr. Song's teaching method is too perverted, and there are many people who can't bear it, and there is no shortage of Yuxi.
Yuxi said with a firm face: "Aunt, don't worry, I won't give up halfway." β
Qiu Shi touched Yuxi's head, and there was some relief in his eyes. Yuxi came to greet her no matter how windy or rainy it was during this time, and she also accompanied her to talk, which was very intimate: "Since you have this heart, my aunt will ask Mr. Song to promise to accept you." After speaking, Qiu Shi instructed Liu Yin to go to the treasury to get a complete set of study utensils.
Everyone's reaction to the arrival of Mr. is different, Yuxi and Yuru both want to learn from this famous person in the capital, and Yuchen sits firmly in Diaoyutai. Because she knew very well that the old lady had spent so much effort to invite Mr. Song for her sake. As for whether it will be favored by Mr. Song, it is not within her consideration.
Of the four girls, only Yujing retreated when she heard that Mr. Song would beat her hands: "Auntie, that Mr. Song can beat people, I don't want to go." "Aunt Rong didn't know a single big character before serving Grandpa Guo, but since she followed Grandpa Guo, she not only knows how to read, but also can make two crooked poems. Yujing began to recognize words easily at the age of four, and now she also recognizes a lot of words.
Aunt Rong is obedient to Yujing on weekdays, but she can't help Yujing: "You have to go, and you have to study hard to let Mr. Song accept you as a student, so that you can marry into the high gate, and you don't have to be a dwarf like your mother." β
Yujing finally succumbed to the four words of marrying into the high gate.
I had something to go home yesterday afternoon, and I was in a hurry to leave everyone, sorry.
