Chapter 66

Time flies. In a twinkling of an eye, it's the end of the year, and the annual gift of Hebei has also been delivered.

Qiu Shi looked at the gift list and said with a smile, "the third master is getting bigger and bigger. This gift is getting less and less." The bigger the official, the more money he has, but the more stingy he is.

Mother Li said, "don't look at it, madam. Let the old slaves take it to the warehouse for them." It's just idle. It's not as if you can't see it.

After receiving the gift list, mother Li said, "madam, it's said that the third master sent two big boxes of things to the fourth girl this time."

Qiu Shi way: "should be the old lady said words!" The only one who has a position is the old lady, so it's easy to guess.

Yuxi, who got the gift, looked very calm and could not see joy or sadness. Yuxi's expression is light, the first order person opens a box: "see what all sent?"

Two boxes of things, one of which is Zanhuang Jinsi jujube, apricot and prune, Yali and other things; The other box is made of white reeds, which are featured with crane, old man fishing and eagle flying.

Yuxi ordered people to pack up everything: "put the food in the kitchen. That pair of cranes is hanging in my study. In addition, "old man fishing" is given to my elder brother, and "the eagle spreads its wings to fly" is kept first. Then I will give it to my second brother. "

It's not wrong to take the extra gift as long as it's not a single one. But now the problem is that Yuxi got a gift for the first time, but he was not excited at all. Instead, he was able to distribute the gift calmly. This attitude makes people have to think deeply.

In the afternoon, Yuxi went to Tingyun Pavilion as usual to learn the rules. See jade Chen smile full face of, ask a way: "three elder sister get what good thing?"

Yuchen said with a smile: "it's not a good thing, just a set of bone china tea set. What did the fourth sister get? "

Yuxi avoided the heavy and said lightly, "my father sent me several paintings, which are very distinctive. I picked a crane to hang in my study."

Yuchen's mood is a little complicated. Her father doesn't seem to have sent her any paintings. In Yuchen's heart, her father's painting must be a famous one: "really? Can I go to your yard later to see the painting that my father gave you? "

Yuxi hesitated a little, and finally slowly nodded: "naturally."

When mother Quan saw Yuxi, she didn't start to teach the rules. Instead, she asked, "the third master came back with a new year's gift today. The third girl is very happy to get a gift. Didn't the fourth girl get a gift?"

Yuxi nodded: "yes, two big boxes."

Mother Quan asked Yuxi to sit down. She also sat cross knee in front of Yuxi and asked, "then why don't I see joy in your face?"

Yuxi no longer bowed her head, because she had been taught by mother Quan that she was mean, so she would face mother Quan's inquiry. She didn't bowed her head, but she didn't speak and kept silent.

Mother Quan said, "do you have resentment in your heart? Blame three master these years to your indifference, even if this time he sent things to you, you still have resentment

Where can Yuxi bear this name: "I have no complaint, he is my father, the father who gave birth to me and raised me. I'm very happy to receive the gift today, but I'm not as happy as my third sister. " After a pause, she said, "the third sister got a whole set of bone china tea sets. My two big boxes are not as valuable as the third sister's cup."

Mother Quan was stunned for a moment, but she soon reprimanded Yu Xi with a straight face: "don't say your father sent you two big boxes of things, that is to give you a feather, it's also a thought for you, it's your father's heart."

Yuxi wants to laugh when he hears the four words of "loving father's heart". In his last life, Han Jingyan ignored her for 16 years. After 16 years, he regarded her as nothing. When he heard that she didn't want to marry Jiang Hongjin, he threw a white silk to her. It's a great irony that Han Jingyan's father's heart is used. It's a pity that Yu Xi didn't laugh, but cried. Tears fell down his face, drop by drop on the ground.

Mother Quan has been in the government for more than three months, and she is quite clear about Yuxi's situation, so she is not surprised that Yuxi will complain. This meeting jade Xi cry in front of her, she also didn't persuade, just sit and watch jade Xi cry. Until Yuxi finished crying, she handed a handkerchief to Yuxi, and her words also slowed down a lot: "wipe your tears!"

After Yu Xi restores calm, embarrassed ground says: "Mammy, don't see strange."

Mother Quan didn't blame her. She just said, "four girls, filial piety is the foundation of human beings. Without filial piety, no matter how talented and beautiful you are, you will not be allowed to live in the world!" After a pause, she said: "moreover, whether before or after marriage, a woman will have a very difficult life without the support of her father and brother."

Yuxi said with a bitter smile: "I know what mammy said, but..." after a pause, Yuxi said: "I don't hide from Mammy, I haven't seen my father since I was born, and people around me tell me that my father doesn't like me and my mother. They all say I'm redundant. So I think the present I received this time should have been prepared for me by my stepmother, but my father didn't know about it. "

Mother Quan disagreed and said, "four girls, that's also your mother. Four girls, I know that the third lady is the stepmother, but even if she is the stepmother, it is also your elder. When you face her, you must be courteous, so that people can make no mistakes. "

Yuxi knew the meaning of mother Quan's words: "mother, I will correct it." There's a lot more she needs to learn.

Mother Quan omitted the third lady directly. She has been in the government for such a long time. She knows that there is an old lady and his wife Qiu. Even if Wu's family comes back, Yuxi will not be bullied. As long as Yuxi's etiquette is complete, there is nothing else to worry about. Mother Quan said, "four girls are the parents 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 to the third master. " Respect and filial piety, and courtesy, although they are four words, but inside it is very different.

After hearing this, Yuxi said painfully, "Mammy, I don't know how to do it." She knew that if she wanted to live a good life in the government, she had to suppress the resentment in her heart, and then tried to please the old lady and her father, but she couldn't do it, she couldn't even pretend to like it when she was disgusted, and she couldn't even show her joy and anger.

Looking at Yuxi, mother Quan could not help sighing. She was too demanding. After all, her five-year-old had been unfairly treated. It's hard to do this: "I'll teach you how to do it."

Yuxi's face showed a relaxed look: "thank you, Mammy."

Mother Quan shook her head and said, "you're welcome. What she teaches is not only etiquette, but also social intercourse, and the skills of family directors Whether she is sincere filial piety, she can't guarantee, but what she wants to guarantee is that Yuxi can't make mistakes in life.

Yuxi was stunned. She had taught so many things. No wonder Yuchen went out to socialize later. Later, when she became Queen, she was praised as having the style of mother of China. It turned out that she had so much weight. The old woman who taught her in her last life is not worthy to be called a parenting mother at all.

Mother Quan asked, "why, do you think it's too much?"

Yuxi shook his head and said, "no, I'm just very happy. I'm very happy to learn so much from Mammy in the future." These are practical things, and they will be useful for life.

Mother Quan said faintly, "I can teach, but how much and how much you can learn depends on your own." There is a saying that it is well said that when the master leads in, his practice is personal.

Yuxi busily nodded and said, "I will study hard."

When it's time, Yuxi's class is over. Just out of the room, he saw Yuchen's servant girl Shiqin waiting in the yard. Shiqin was left by qingyuxi for dinner: "after dinner, my girl wants to go to the rose yard with four girls to see paintings."

There was a strange flash on Yuxi's face. Looking at the painting, what's good about the reed painting? At this time, Yuxi never thought that Yuchen would think that Han Jingyan gave her a famous painting: "good." Since she was invited to stay, she could also take the opportunity to taste the medicinal meal made by mother Quan.

Looking at the table full of dishes, the dishes on the table are white blue and white porcelain, and the chopsticks on the plates are now full of warm luster. If you look carefully, the chopsticks are all made of ivory.

Yuxi thinks it's too luxurious. She is the granddaughter that the old lady loves most! Even a plate and chopsticks are so exquisite. However, it's not too wasteful to have a big table. Heart abdominal Fei, but will not say it.

Yuchen looked at his clothes and went to the dining room. Seeing Yuxi, he said with a smile, "has the fourth sister been waiting for a long time?"

Yuxi shook his head: "no, just arrived."

At this time, four servant girls came in. The first one was carrying a glass of water, the second one was holding an empty basin, the third one was carrying a copper basin of water, and the fourth one was holding a handkerchief.

Yuxi saw Yuchen gargle first, then spit into the second basin, then wash his hands in the copper basin, and finally take the handkerchief to dry his hands.

Yuxi's eyes flashed. She was not served by a servant girl, but she didn't have such a big formation as Yuchen. Yuxi didn't say anything, also took another servant girl to pass over the tea, the next action is the same as Yuchen.

After they sat down, Yuchen said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of dishes my fourth sister likes. Next time, I'll let the cook do what my fourth sister likes. This time, I'll ask her to make do with it."

Yuxi's Chinese food and dinner are all four dishes and one soup. Yuxi thinks it's a bit wasteful, and the dishes on this table don't know how much it costs: "third sister, I'm not picky, I love everything." People who have experienced hunger are not picky eaters.

The dishes on this table are not only full of color, fragrance and taste, but also very good. They are better than the old lady's cook.

Yuxi ate seven full, originally did not prepare to eat, but did not expect the maid brought a bowl of medicinal food. Now, if you don't eat it, you'll eat it.

After the first bite, Yuxi almost rolled his tongue in. It was so delicious. It was the first time Yuxi had such delicious food. I've lived for more than 20 years in my last life, but I haven't eaten anything so delicious. I'm living in vain.

After dinner, the maid brought tea to wash her mouth, and then it was clean. Yuxi just asked: "third sister, this medicated food is really delicious. Who made it?" In fact, Yuxi guessed that it was made by mother Quan.

Jade Chen smiles a way: "this is all mammy do of, everyday use a bowl." Yu Chen, who was used to good things, was also surprised when he first ate the medicated meal made by mother Quan.
