Chapter 40, Comparison
"Daohua is really nothing to say about cooking. Laba porridge is eaten every year, and this year's is the best." Yan Zhiyuan praised Daohua without hesitation.
The old lady Yan likes to listen to other people's praise of rice blossoms. After listening to Er'er's words, the smile on her face deepens.
Yan Zhiyuan saw that he immediately boasted a few more words, which caused the old lady to laugh continuously.
Aside, Daohua sat next to Mrs. Li obediently, with a decent and polite smile on her face. She glanced at his third uncle who was drinking Laba porridge honestly, and at his restrained and pretending cheap father, in her heart. Secretly.
Her second uncle, a white body, can be well-known in the county government, this vision, this eloquence, really is not covered.
Through the contact of these days, she also saw that her second uncle is a smiling tiger, and she is very sleek.
Knowing that my grandmother loves her, she is complimenting her for thinking about the law, but not forgetting to mention other people. It’s really comprehensive.
When Daohua was thinking about this, she felt her arm being touched. As soon as she turned her head, she saw her fourth brother smiling and looking at herself: "Big sister, you have to cook more in the future, I like you to do it. I'm eating."
Before Daohua spoke, Mrs. Li said, “Don’t make troubles with your sister. She wants to read and read, and she also wants to learn female red. Don’t look at it. What did she do with her hands?”
As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at Inaka's hand.
Looking at the dense red pinholes on her white and delicate fingers, she was taken aback.
Daohua smiled faintly: "My schoolgirl is a little stupid. My sisters Yihuan can embroider large pieces. I can't even embroider purses."
As soon as the voice fell, Daohua's hand was grabbed by Yan Wenkai.
Yan Wenkai carefully touched Daohua’s fingers, his face was distressed, and he blew on the fingers, raising his head and asking, "Does it hurt?"
Daohua shook her head blankly.
Yan Wenkai became angry: "What's the matter with Master Qin? The eldest sister's hands are all like this, why should she embroider some kind of purse? Will she be a master? If she can't do it, change someone to teach ?"
Yan Zhigao would definitely scold Yan Wenkai at this time if it was put on hold, but when he saw the eldest daughter's hand, his heart also filled with anger.
Before, Daohua was anxious to make Laba porridge. He didn't see clearly. This time Wen Kai held his hand, and the needles on his fingers made him feel a little numb.
The eldest daughter had not been raised by his side since she was a child, but he also valued it very much. Seeing her hand being pricked like this, he instinctively felt that Master Qin was slow to treat her.
Yan Wenkai is still saying: "Mother, why don't you give the eldest sister to the Master? I don't think Master Qin has much knowledge?"
Hearing this, Inaka couldn't help but want to applaud.
During this period of time, she has been practicing female celebrity diligently. Although she didn't want to win the sympathy of everyone, she would be happy if she could change her master.
Taohua took a close look at her fourth cheap brother. If it weren’t for the concern on his face, she would have thought that this person was deliberately cheating Master Qin.
Sure enough, he is a straightforward child.
Who knows the next second, I heard Yan Wenkai say: "My elder sister's hands are used for cooking. If it is damaged by a needle, who will cook it for us in the future?"
Upon hearing this, the touch on Daohua’s face was immediately relieved, she quickly withdrew her hand, and glared at the fourth brother of the cheap: "Dare to love me as a cook? I will not do it in the future, I want to eat it, and I will do it myself. ."
"Don't!" Yan Wenkai wailed immediately, "Good sister, I was wrong, you can't help but cook, otherwise, how will I live in the future?"
The two of you came, and I started to confuse my mouth, and the dinner table quickly became lively.
Other people's eyes moved slightly, and the relationship between Master Qin and Aunt Lin, the Yan family knew that Master Qin could not please, and Aunt Lin would follow her faceless.
Yan Zhiyuan glanced at the Sun family, who immediately changed the topic with a smile.
Seeing this, Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief. Before they dared to pass a trivia to their father Yan Zhigao at the dinner table, saying that Aunt Lin was eating alone or something, and now they are silently drinking from the bowl. Laba porridge.
Ms. Li looked at the expressions of everyone on the table, glanced at Yan Zhigao with a slightly narrow expression, and smiled and added half a bowl of laba porridge to him.
Seeing this, Yan Zhigao also smiled and put a chopsticks dish for Mrs. Li.
Next to , Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin dropped their heads a little disappointed when they saw that Yan Zhigao did not mention Aunt Lin again.
Yes, Aunt Lin did not come to Songhe Yard for dinner.
This was made by Mrs. Yan, who said that there is no concubine room where the masters of the family can eat together.
Just now, when Yan Zhigao saw the family happily drinking Laba porridge, he thought of Aunt Lin who was eating alone. She felt pity, and just wanted to ask her to come and eat together, but she was disturbed by the son of Yan Wenkai.
Now, because Master Qin made the eldest daughter embroider the purse so that his hands were so miserable, he was also a little angry, so he let go of his mind.
Songheyuan is Yanxiao Yanyan, He He Meimei, while in Shuangxinyuan at this time, Aunt Lin is sitting alone at the dining table with a lonely face.
Married to the master for so many years, this is the first time she spends the festival alone.
Her children, husband, are now with others, they are a family, and she is just a concubine's room, a concubine's room that can't even go to the dining table.
There has never been a moment like this, let her clearly understand her identity and status in the Yan family.
Regret it?
Her father is a scholar, and her younger brother is also a scholar. As her family, marrying someone else to be the main house is more than just rubbing.
But she can’t help it!
In order to support his father to study, the Lin family sold out all the family property. By the time his younger brother was studying, there was no more money in the family. But the younger brother was so smart, and the masters in the family praised him for his future prospects. How could she bear to watch him? The younger brother has been doing nothing all his life because he has no money to study?
So, when Yan Zhigao went to the countryside to patrol, she deliberately approached this honest and good official who was praised by everyone.
She looks good, and she has followed her father to read and literate since she was a child. Naturally, her temperament is not comparable to that of ordinary women.
Meeting several times, the master was really moved by her intentional or unintentional contact.
Later, she successfully married him as a child.
With the support of the county magistrate, the family gradually got better, and the younger brother also read the book. A few years later, he successfully passed the exam and stayed with the master. With the help of his brother-in-law, the future of the younger brother must not be wrong. .
She is also very comfortable in the backyard.
The eldest lady of the Yan family, Li's family, was born as a businessman. Although she is a prime minister, she can't compare herself with her family, and she didn't think she was inferior to her.
Furthermore, based on her understanding of the master, she knew that the master also looked down on merchants in his heart. This can be seen from the brothers who received his wife.
Ms. Li also knows this, so she is not very confident in the Yan family, and she is too evasive to her favored self.
She thought that she could spend her life so peacefully and steadily, chanting poems against the master, chatting with her, and raising her children in her free time, but the old lady is here, and the big girl is here.
These two people don't know what tactfulness means, what is calmness.
As soon as came up, it was just what she said. Putting the most embarrassing side directly on the table, she has no plans to do anything.
Now, when the whole family is enjoying the festival, the master can let her eat alone. From then on, will she lose more and less place in the future?
