Time flies, and then at the end of the year, Hebei's annual gift has arrived.
Qiushi looked at the list and said with a smile, "the third master is getting bigger and bigger, and the gift is getting less and less." The bigger the official, the more money, but the more stingy.
Mother Li said, "don't look at it, madam. Let the old slave take it to them and put it in storage." I'm just angry after seeing it, not if I don't see it.
After receiving the gift list, mother Li said, "madam, I heard that the third master sent two boxes of things to the fourth girl this time."
Qiu said, "it should be the old lady who said something!" The only one who has a position is the old lady, so it's a good guess.
Yuxi, who had received the gift, looked very calm, unable to see joy or sadness. Yuxi's face was light. He asked people to open the box: "what did you send?"
There are two boxes of things, one is Zanhuang golden dates, apricot prunes, dried pears and other things; the other is several paintings made of white reeds, which are very characteristic, including crane, old man fishing, eagle flying and so on.
Yuxi ordered people to pack up everything: "put the food in the kitchen. The pair of cranes are hanging in my study. In addition, the old man fishing is given to the elder brother. The eagle spreads its wings to fly is saved first. Then I will give it to the second brother. "
As long as it's not a single gift, there's nothing wrong with taking the extra one as a gift. But now the problem is that Yuxi got the gift for the first time, but he is not excited at all, but he can distribute the gift peacefully. This attitude makes people have to think deeply.
In the afternoon, Yuxi went to Tingyun Pavilion as usual to learn the rules. Seeing Yuchen's smiling face, he asked, "did the third sister get something good?"
Jade Chen said with a smile: "it's not a good thing, just a set of bone china tea set. What did sister four get? "
"My father sent me several paintings, which are very distinctive. I chose a crane to hang in my study," said Yuxi
Yuchen is in a complicated mood. It seems that her father hasn't sent her a painting. In Yuchen's heart, the painting her father sent must be the painting of a famous artist: "really? Can I go to your yard later to see the picture my father sent you? "
Yuxi hesitated a little, and finally slowly nodded his head: "naturally."
When she saw Yuxi, she didn't start to teach the rules. Instead, she asked, "the third master gave her annual gift today, and the third girl was very happy to get the gift. Didn't the fourth girl get the gift?"
Yuxi nodded, "yes, two big boxes."
When mother Quan asked Yuxi to sit down, she also sat cross knee in front of Yuxi and asked, "then why didn't I see joy in your face?"
Yuxi no longer bowed her head, because she had been taught by all Mammy to be small, so she would face all Mammy's questions. She didn't bow her head, but she didn't talk, and she kept silent.
"You have a grudge in your heart?" said Quan? Blame the third master's indifference to you all these years. Even if he sent you something this time, you still have a complaint. "
Where will Yuxi bear the name: "I have no complaint. He is my father, my own father who raised me. Today, I am also very happy to receive the gift, but I am not as happy as the third sister. " After a pause, she said, "what she got is a complete set of bone china tea set. My two big boxes are not worth as much as one of her glasses."
All Mammy was stunned for a while, but she soon scolded Yuxi with a flat face: "don't say that your father sent you two big boxes, that is to say, a feather. That's also the thought of you. It's your father's heart of fatherhood."
Yuxi wants to laugh when she hears the four words of the heart of a loving father. Han Jingyan ignored her for 16 years in his last life. He just 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 satire to use Han Jingyan's heart of fatherhood. Unfortunately, Yuxi didn't laugh, but cried. Tears ran down her cheek and fell to the ground.
Mother Quan spent more than three months in the State Council, and she was quite clear about Yuxi's situation, so it's not surprising that Yuxi would complain about her. This meeting jade Xi cries in front of her, she also didn't advise, sit there and watch jade Xi cry. It was not until Yuxi cried that she handed a handkerchief to Yuxi, and her words slowed down a lot: "wipe your tears!"
After Yuxi regained her peace, she said sheepishly, "don't be surprised, Mammy."
Mother Quan did not blame her, but said, "four girls, filial piety is the root of human beings. If we lose filial piety, no matter how talented we look, we will not be able to live in the world." After a pause, she said, "besides, no matter before or after marriage, a woman will have a hard time without the support of her father and brother."
Yuxi said with a wry smile, "I know what mammy said, but..." After a pause, Yuxi said: "I don't lie to Mammy. I haven't seen my father since I was born, and the people around me don't like me or my mother. They all say I'm redundant. So I think the gift I received this time should have been prepared by my stepmother, and my father didn't know it. "
Mother Quan disagreed and said, "four girls, that's your mother too. Four girls, I know that the third lady is the stephouse, but even if she is the stephouse, it is also your elder generation. When you face her, you have to be polite enough to make sure you don't make mistakes. "
Yuxi knew the meaning of all Mammy's words: "Mammy, I will correct it." She has a lot to learn.
Mother Quan omitted the three ladies directly. She stayed in the government for such a long time, knowing that there was an old lady and the wife in charge, Qiu Shi. Even if Wu Shi came back, Yuxi would not be bullied. As long as Yuxi had a good etiquette, there would be no other worries. Mother Quan said, "four girls, all 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 etiquette, although all four words, but inside is different.
Hearing this, Yuxi said painfully, "Mammy, I don't know what to do." She knew that if she wanted to live well in the government, she had to suppress the resentment in her heart, and then try to please the old lady and her father. But she could not do it. She could not do it clearly, disgusted but pretended to like it, not to be happy or angry.
Mother Quan looked at Yuxi and sighed. She was too demanding. After all, the five-year-old had been treated unfairly. 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, "no thanks. It's not just about rules and etiquette, but also how to behave and socialize, how to manage the family and how to control the family. " She can't guarantee that she is sincere and filial, but what she wants to ensure is that Yuxi can't be picked wrong in her life.
Yuxi was shocked. She used to teach so many things to her mother. It's no wonder that no one disagreed with Yuchen when she went out to socialize. Later, when she became a queen, she was praised as having the demeanor of a national Mother. In the past, she took up so much weight. The old woman who taught her in the last life is not worthy of being called a mother.
"Why, do you think so much?" asked Quan
Yuxi hurriedly shook his head and said, "no, I'm just glad to learn so much from Mammy." These can be practical things, learning to be useful for life.
"I will teach, but how much you can learn and how much you can learn depends on yourself," said Quan There is a good saying. Master leads in and practices himself.
Yuxi hurriedly nodded, "I will study hard."
It's time for Yuxi to finish class. Just out of the room, I saw Yuchen's servant girl, Shiqin, waiting in the yard. Shiqin was left by qingyuxi for dinner: "when the dinner is finished, my girl wants to go to the rose garden with the four girls to see the paintings."
Yuxi's face flashed strange. Look at the paintings. What's the beauty of the reed paintings? At this time, Yuxi didn't think about it at all. Yuchen would think that Han Jingyan sent her a famous painting: "OK." Since she is invited to stay, she can also take the opportunity to taste the medicinal diet made by mother Quan.
Looking at the table filled with dishes, the dishes on the table are all white blue and white porcelain, while the chopsticks on the plates are now shining with warm luster. Seriously, all chopsticks are made of ivory.
Yuxi thinks it's too luxurious. She is the most beloved granddaughter of the old lady! Even a plate and chopsticks are so exquisite. However, is it too wasteful to slow down a big table. In the heart stomach Fei, but will not say.
Yu Chen looked at his clothes and went to the dining room. Seeing Yu Xi, he said with a smile, "four younger sisters have been waiting for a long time?"
Yuxi shook his head: "no, just arrived."
At this time, four servant girls came in, the first with a glass of water, the second with an empty basin, the third with a copper basin of water, and the fourth with a pad.
Yuxi saw Yuchen gargle first, then spit into the second basin, then wash his hands in the copper basin, and finally dry his hands with a pad.
Yuxi's eyes flashed. She wasn't served by a servant girl, but she didn't have such a big formation as Yuchen. Yuxi didn't say anything. He also received the tea from another servant girl. The next action was the same as Yuchen's.
After they sat down, Yu Chen said with a smile, "I don't know what dish four sisters like. Next time, I'll ask the cook to make the dish four sisters like. This time, I'll ask four sisters to make do with it."
Yuxi's Chinese dinners are all four dishes and one soup, so Yuxi thinks it's a waste of such specifications. He doesn't know how much the dishes at this table cost: "third sister, I don't pick food, I like everything." People who have experienced hunger are not picky eaters.
The dishes at this table are not only full of color, fragrance and taste, but also very good. They are better than the old lady's cooks.
Yuxi had seven points of satiety. He didn't plan to eat any more, but he didn't expect that his servant girl brought another bowl of medicinal food. Now, if you don't eat, you have to eat.
After the first bite, Yuxi almost put his tongue in it. It's really delicious. Yuxi is the first time to eat such delicious food. I have lived for more than 20 years in my last life, but I haven't eaten such delicious food. It's really a white life.
After finishing the dinner, the servant girl brought tea to wash her mouth, and then cleaned it. "Three elder sisters, this medicinal meal is really delicious. Who made it?" yuxicai asked In fact, Yuxi guessed that it was all Mammy.
Yuchen said with a smile, "it's made by all Mammy. She uses a bowl every day." Yu Chen, who is used to good things, was surprised when he first ate the medicinal meal made by mother Quan.
