When mother Quan taught liu'er, she also taught the housekeeper these things. Although it's a theory, it's better than nothing. Liu'er may not learn at all, but she has been frightened by Yuxi's cold attitude during this period. When Yuxi taught her, she listened honestly.
Yuxi's heart suddenly relaxed when she saw it. Fortunately, she was young and had not reached the point where she could see no smoke and fire, or she would cry.
Afternoon is the time to learn needlework and cooking. Mother Quan said with a smile, "liu'er, your mother's double-sided embroidery was popular in the capital at that time. How many people could not ask for a pair of embroidery! As long as you learn 30% of your mother's, it's enough. "
Liu Er looked at Yuxi and said cautiously, "I haven't seen the embroidery embroidered by my mother yet?" The clothes made by Yuxi are very simple and common, which do not show the standard.
Yuxi's face softened a lot, saying, "just in time for the next period of time, my mother is going to embroider a seat screen."
Liu Er is looking forward to Yuxi's screen.
Yunqing is busy every day. Yuxi looked at the exhausted Yunqing and said, "do you want me to massage you?" Tong Fang's craftsmanship is very good, but Yuxi would rather work hard than let other women touch Yunqing.
Holding Yuxi's hand, Yunqing said, "you've been working hard all day, so don't be busy. Tell me, how is liu'er these days? Did you listen to me? " Liu er's business, Yun Qing is still on his mind.
Yuxi said with a smile, "don't worry! Some time ago, my attitude scared her. These days, she is very obedient. She is very serious about what she learns. " After a pause, Yuxi said, "don't worry, I'll teach her well."
Yunqing slept soundly this night.
On the first day, Yuxi taught liu'er how to needle, and then let her practice. Learn from needlework, fingers are suffering. Liu ER was stabbed more than ten times this day. But tears in the eyes, also dare not cry out.
Yuxi hasn't done embroidery for more than ten years. His craftsmanship is a little rusty. But it took her two days to recover. As soon as he got back his feeling, Yuxi began to embroider in front of Liu er's face.
When Liu Er saw the scene, the whole person was stunned. She only saw this skill in the book, but did not expect her mother to do it. It was also shocked by Yuxi's hand. Liu er's hand was stabbed by a needle again and she didn't feel aggrieved, but she learned more seriously.
Spent nearly a month time, jade Xi embroidered butterfly love peony completed half. Yuxi embroiders small screens. This embroidery has beautiful patterns, meticulous embroidery, bright colors and is very beautiful. Although it's not finished yet, Liu Er doesn't like it very much. She has to watch it several times a day.
This day, Liu Er finally couldn't help asking for guidance: "Niang, can I have this embroidery?"
Yuxi did not refuse, but said, "when you can manage the affairs of the Royal Palace, my mother will give it to you." It doesn't matter if the needlework is not good at cooking. If you don't learn it well, you can ask the cook and the embroiderer. But if you can't manage the steward, you'll have a lot of trouble.
Liu Er agreed without thinking: "OK." Liu Er promised to be so cheerful, but also knew that even if she didn't have this embroidery, she would have to learn civil affairs well.
Yu Xi poked the needle and thread on the embroidery, looked up and asked Liu Er, "you've been learning for nearly a month, what's your experience?"
Liu'er thought for a moment and said, "it's more difficult to learn the piano, whether it's a commoner or a needlewoman." It's easier to learn not only the piano, but also other instruments.
Yuxi said with a voice: "my mother also found that you are talented in this field, so I asked my husband to teach you. But Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting can only be used as entertainment. The director of the Zhang family is the foundation of women's establishment. " Yuxi said these words several times a day, and Liu Er listened to them. But read a lot, Liu Er also listen to some.
Liu Er nodded her head: "Niang, I will study hard."
Yuxi is satisfied with the location of the next way: "where don't understand, talk to my mother."
Liu'er is in a good mood to meet Yuxi. She can't help asking, "Mom, what happened when you said you almost died when you were five?" Since I heard this last time, Liu Er has been under pressure.
Yuxi thought about it and said: "in the year when Niang was more than four years old, smallpox was rampant in the capital. At that time, many of them were still infected, and Niang didn't escape. Your great grandmother was going to send me to a village in the country, but she was still the eldest aunt, and your present grandmother was very opposed to leaving me in the house... " Yuxi said the process briefly, and then said: "my mother took the medicine to get better. Your great grandmother thought that the doctor had some skills, so she called the doctor to cure her favorite grandson. She didn't care about my mother's life or death at all."
Liu er said incredulously, "how could it be like this? Isn't mother her granddaughter? " There is such a cruel grandmother in the world.
Yuxi smiled: "her granddaughters are more, and it doesn't matter if one is less." She has long been relieved of these past events.
Liu Er hesitated and said, "what about grandma? Isn't grandma nice to her? I heard from Mammy that she treated her as her own daughter
Yuxi chuckled, not that she was separated from her own: "the most regrettable thing for my mother was that she didn't have any brothers and sisters. Otherwise, there would be a person who depended on each other and supported each other, rather than a person who struggled and tried his best to plan."
Liu er said in bewilderment, "but I heard from mother blue that uncle and uncle have been hurting their mother since they were little." Not only that, Yuxi has a good relationship with Han Jianming.
Yuxi gently shook his head and said, "their love for their mother contains a lot of things. You'll understand when you grow up. " Han Jianming's kindness to her is to see her potential. Han Jianye is good to her because her biological mother has the help to Han Jianye. This kind of affection is different from the selfless care and love of our brothers.
After saying these words, Yuxi turned to look at liu'er, but he didn't say anything.
Although she didn't say anything, Liu Er read her unfinished words from Yuxi's eyes. Her mother wants to have a legitimate brother, but she can't get one. She has a close brother, but she doesn't get close to him, which leads to four brothers not being close to her. It's accusing her of not giving up.
Yuxi didn't mention you in front of liu'er. Some things are more natural, if forced, it will only backfire. However, proper reminders and guidance are still necessary.
Liu Er pressed the bitterness in her heart and asked Yuxi, "Mom, didn't you have a hard time when you were a child?"
Yuxi shook his head and said, "a child without a mother is a grass. But in a word, my mother is good. " Yuxi said this sincerely. Although the old lady didn't like her, her mother saved her second brother, so she never used it short.
See jade Xi don't want to say, Liu Er looked for a time to pull the whole Mammy to ask: "Mammy, when the mother was a child, was it a special hardship?"
Mother Quan weighed her heart, nodded and said, "well, your grandmother gave birth to your mother more than a month ago and left. And your great grandmother and your great grandfather don't like your mother. Your mother had a very difficult time in the government when she was a child. "
Liu'er whispered, "Mammy, can you tell me more about my mother's childhood? I want to know. "
All mammy said what she knew in great detail, and liu'er cried.
After finishing, mother Quan said with a sigh: "it's also your mother's wisdom. She flattered the old lady at that time and the eldest son in the family, that is, your grandmother and uncle now. Only with their mother's and son's protection can she survive, otherwise it would have become a pile of loess."
Liu Er cried and said, "my mother was so pitiful when she was a child."
All mammy nodded her head and said, "it's not too much to say that your mother is soaking in bitter water. But even if so, your mother has never complained about anyone and always keeps a good heart. Over the years, your mother doesn't know how many lives she has saved or how many people she has helped, but she never realizes that she has made great contributions, instead, she thinks that she has limited ability to help too few people. " In the mouth of all mammies, Yuxi is the one who is hard to find in the sky and on the earth.
After a long time, Liu Er just calmed down: "why hasn't mammy mentioned these things to me before?"
Mammy gently patted liu'er on the back and said softly, "your mother hopes your sister and brother will be happy and happy for a lifetime. She doesn't want you to know these dark things. If it wasn't for this time, Mammy wouldn't have told you about it. Liu'er, it's your mother's hard work that you should be considerate and filial, not make her angry and worry her. " If Yuxi said these words, liu'er might not be able to listen to them, but all mammy said different things.
Liu'er lowered her head and pondered for a while, then raised her head and asked all Mammy, "Mammy, do you think I did something wrong about brother you?"
The whole mother said, "you elder brother broke your piano before. Your father beat you elder brother. At that time, did your mother blame you?" Seeing Liu Er shaking her head, mother Quan said: "your mother is so angry this time, because your behavior makes your mother think that you have no brotherhood in your heart, which is also the reason why your mother is so angry." In fact, all mammy are worried. Fortunately, Liu Er finally realized her mistake, which made her very happy.
Seeing liu'er's head down and not saying a word, mother Quan said, "when you were born, it was very dangerous. Steady old woman says can protect only one, your father says to want to protect adult but your mother insists to protect you. Liu'er, if your mother doesn't hurt you, she won't want to give birth to you without her own life. Your mother deliberately ignored you this time and put you under house arrest in the yard. She was too worried. I'm afraid that you've lost your temper and become divorced from your brothers and sisters After a pause, mother Quan said, "how busy is your mother? Do you know? This time, in order to protect her brother and you, she put down everything on her head. These days, I've taught you how to be a steward and a maid. If you still can't understand your mother's pains, your mother will feel cold even if she is a mother. "
