"grandmother!"
"grandmother!"
After entering the door, the two gave a deep salute to Mrs. Tai who was sitting in the first seat.
"Let's get up." Mrs. Tai's smile returned to her face, and she pointed to the old ladies on both sides to introduce them to them. The two smiled and greeted the old ladies together.
"Mrs. Tai, these two are your granddaughters who have been hiding all this time. Look at them, they are really beautiful, like a fairy, and they are really enviable." An old lady in a green placket bottom laughed.
"That's right, look at this couple. Having such a one in the family is already hurting people's heart. Unexpectedly, there are two more. Madam, you are really blessed." Another blue The old lady with the slanted breasts also joked.
On the whole, Ning Qingfan is better than Ning Xueyan, with an elegant and gentle appearance. A sixteen-year-old girl is at her most beautiful, her beautiful face is like a peony flower in full bloom, and she is moderately slender. The figure is breathtaking.
At first glance, Ning Xueyan is not as bright as Ning Qingfan. She is still small, with a pale face and light lips, but when she looks closely, she finds that her delicate facial features and her watery eyes like Mo Yaoshi are absolutely perfect. Mei, obviously one or two years older, must be a stunning beauty who can overwhelm the country and the city.
At that time, the third girl of the Hou Mansion must not be able to compare with the fifth girl.
The old ladies present have poisonous eyes, of course they can see clearly, and the words of praise seem to be free of money, and they keep pouring out. It is said that the third girl of the Hou Mansion is the most likely to become the third prince and concubine , and this fifth girl who has not yet grown up and has never shown herself in front of people is so beautiful, and her demeanor is also magnanimous and indifferent. She will have a bright future in the future.
Hearing the praises from several old ladies, the expression on Mrs. Tai's face became more and more happy.
"You guys really praise them too much. It's too much to praise them like flowers, just two little girls who know nothing about movies." Mrs. Tai said with a smile.
While talking, a steward came in from outside and asked Mother Qin who was standing aside. Mother Qin came over and whispered in Mrs. Tai's ear, and Mrs. Tai nodded.
"Grandmother, Fan will serve you dinner later." Ning Qingshan knew that Mrs. Tai was about to serve dinner, so she smiled softly at Mrs. Tai.
"Okay, what a filial piety!" Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded.
There are not many people, only four or five people, one table is placed in the living room of the main house, Ning Xueyan and Ning Qingfan wait for Mrs. Tai and several old ladies to sit down, and the dishes are served below. For this kind of scene, Of course Ning Qingfan is familiar with it. Back then, she was able to get a high look from Mrs. Tai and Concubine Yagui because of her knowledge and interest.
She behaved well, stood on the sidelines to serve Mrs. Tai's meals, and behaved well, without any slack in her actions!
She is thoughtful and elegant, and one can tell that she has been well-bred at a glance. Often, with just a look from Madam Tai, Ning Qing can grasp the key points and pick out the dishes that Madam Tai likes.
Taking advantage of Mrs. Tai's dining space, Ning Qing cast her eyes on Ning Xueyan calmly. She didn't believe that Ning Xueyan, who had been staying in Mingshuangyuan, understood this, but when she looked up, she saw the same elegant The almost perfect Ning Xueyan and Ning Qingshan almost couldn't hold back the smile on her face.
Is the woman in front of me with a standard manner, elegant and elegant demeanor in every move, really that ignorant Ning Xueyan? How could she be so good, so standard, even more elegant than the grooming she has trained hard for three years? , standard, those old ladies looked at Ning Xueyan with admiration.
What kind of upbringing can teach a girl who behaves well and is almost the same. The upbringing of the Huguohou Mansion is not so good!
For Ning Qingshan's dumb gaze, Ning Xueyan could see it in her eyes. Just now Ning Qingshan deliberately proposed to serve Mrs. Tai for dinner, just to make herself ashamed. Nanny, even the literacy and writing were taught by Ming herself, so how could she know such skilled aristocratic etiquette.
But Ning Xueyan can't, but Ning Ziying can.
Since she was very young, Ning Ziying's mother has carefully cultivated Ning Ziying in terms of etiquette, and she will correct even the slightest mistake. Ziying cried more than once to the point of heartbreak, but every time she was eventually punished by her mother.
Later, when the familiar etiquette seemed to flow out naturally, and it seemed that the nobleness and elegance permeated from the bones, the mother stopped, and soon after, the mother also died of illness, so Ning Qing fan provoked Ning Xue with the etiquette of eating. Yan, how could Ning Xueyan make a fool of himself.
Although Ning Qingfan has studied hard for four or five years, has she had as long as Ning Xueyan
And compared to Ning Qingfan's elegance and familiarity, Ning Xueyan's same movements give people a more noble and elegant feeling! It is even more pleasing to the eye, as if the actions flowed between gestures.
Ning Qing couldn't keep her smile on.
"Mrs. Tai, the upbringing of your two granddaughters is really good. May I ask what kind of upbringing nanny the family invited?" Another old lady couldn't help asking curiously. How could such a standard etiquette Ordinary nuns can teach it. If you know which nunnery it is, you must invite her to your home and teach your granddaughters well.
"Lao Madam Han won the award. It's nothing special. It's just an ordinary parenting nun. It's just that they put their heart into it, which makes me worry less." Mrs. Tai smiled and said.
Ning Qingshan's mother-in-law is Luo Nanny. She knows that Ning Xueyan is so outstanding, but it is unexpected. She originally wanted Ning Xueyan to set off Ning Qingfan even better, but she did not expect Ning Xueyan to be better than Ning Qingfan. It's okay, but when it comes to nurturing mothers, Ning Xueyan has no such thing as nurturing mothers, so she can only vaguely mention it.
Of course the old ladies didn't know that Mrs. Tai really didn't know, they thought she didn't want to say the name of the foster mother, so they didn't ask any more, maybe there was some secret in it, everyone is not young and ignorant, enough is enough .
"I heard that the female relatives in the inner courtyard are all picked up by the third girl today. The third girl is already so capable at such a young age. The Tai Furen is really blessed." An old lady deliberately changed the subject.
"Where is the little girl's family? She just helps me with some things. When she is old, she is not as good as a young man. She can't do what she wants!" Mrs. Tai sighed with a smile.
"Grandmother, why are you getting old? Look, if you are with me, no one will say that you are my grandmother, but they think we are like sisters." Ning Qingshan immediately picked up the topic in a playful way.
Everyone in the next room laughed.
"This girl just knows how to talk. Grandma doesn't have much effort here. How can she be like your sisters? Are there such old sisters!" Mrs. Tai laughed.
"Why can't it be, as long as grandma takes good care of her, she might look even smaller than Fan'er, and when she goes out after that, people will not know who is the older sister and who is the younger sister!" Ning Qingshan followed Mrs. Tai's words, His eyes suddenly fell on Ning Xueyan, "Anyway, Fifth Younger Sister is so capable, so it's fine for Fifth Younger Sister to look over all the books in this house. Fan'er can't do it, so just eat and drink with grandma."
Although these words were a joke, but the meaning of blowing sticks to Ning Xueyan was obvious in it, and it was obvious that they were sincerely promoting Ning Xueyan. The smile on Mrs. Tai's face was a little gentler.
She didn't want to see Ning Xueyan before, but since Ning Xueyan came out of Mingshuang Courtyard, she has shown more and more talents, and gradually made Mrs. Tai appreciate a little more. She didn't think Ning Xueyan was her own at first. Granddaughter, seeing that Ning Xueyan has become outstanding these days, she gradually changed her mind.
She is always her own granddaughter, and compared to the others, Ning Xueyan is the one closest to her by blood. If she can marry a good family in the future, she will always be a great help to the Marquis of the Huguo, so With the change of feelings towards Ning Xueyan, Mrs. Tai also wanted to push Ning Xueyan to the front of the screen.
Today's opportunity originally only wanted Ning Qingfan to show off by herself, but after thinking about it, Ning Xueyan couldn't let Ning Xueyan fall, so I called them both in, to meet these old ladies, this meeting Ning Qingfan deliberately praised Ning Xue took a breath, and immediately felt that Ning Qingshan not only knows how to measure, but also is magnanimous.
"Oh, it turns out that the fifth girl is able to look after the housekeeper at such a young age. It's amazing, it's really amazing!" The faces of the old ladies present all showed surprise expressions, not to say that the young lady who was fourteen or five years old helped manage the house. , but most of them just manage some unimportant aspects.
In a situation like Huguohou's Mansion, Ling's family is in the Buddhist hall, and Mrs. Tai is very old. If the five girls of the Hou's Mansion are really in charge of the accounts, they may be in charge of the whole mansion. At such a young age, they can actually manage the whole mansion. The internal affairs of the house are not just something that can be said and shown if they are capable. Just now when they entered the mansion, they saw that the affairs in the mansion were in order, and they thought who was so capable after the Ling family. They all guessed that it was a certain aunt.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the youngest Ning Xueyan, so why not surprise them.
This topic was brought up to Ning Xueyan without making a fuss.
Ning Qingfan is indeed very difficult to deal with, she held Ning Xueyan high in a few words, and after a while something happened, of course she fell heavily, climbed high, fell hard, the original intention of Ning Qingfan It is to make Ning Xueyan lose the favor of Mrs. Tai from now on, and make a fool of herself in front of all the old ladies, so that she will never be able to hold her head up in front of others.
"I'm not very good at reading accounts. Most of them are finalized by my grandmother. I don't understand many things. From time to time, I will ask my third sister and grandmother." Ning Xueyan raised her head and said softly, her expression was neither humble nor overbearing, and she was generous and kind, Gentle and humble, it can make people feel good.
She already knew that Ning Qingfan would not give up, and the topic would definitely be brought up, so of course she was here waiting for her.
"Third Miss can also manage accounts?" Hearing what she said, an old lady asked with a smile.
"Yes, the third girl was a capable person before, and she helped me take care of it for a period of time three years ago. After a few days, I have to let her share some of it. I can't let the fifth girl be tired all the time." Mrs. Tai remembered When Ning Qingshan helped her manage the inner courtyard three years ago, although most of them were in charge of the Ling family at that time, Mrs. Tai consciously accompanied Ning Qingshan, so she did learn from Mrs. Tai for a period of time. housekeeper.
Mrs. Tai said so, and Ning Qingshan would be a bit pretentious if she said that she didn't know how to do it, so she said politely: "That's just learning a little bit from grandma!"
