In early August, the Mid-Autumn Festival in Hebei arrived.
Qiu took the gift list, scanned it and handed it to Mama Li, and said, "Take it to register and enter the account." Anyway, the Guogong Mansion doesn't depend on the third master's New Year gift, so she won't be sulking.
Mother Li didn't comment on the gift list, but she talked about another thing: "The third master gave the third girl a lot of good things this time, but the fourth girl didn't have the same."
Qiu's family didn't want to complain anymore: "It's like this every time, it's not surprising." Every new year and festive season, he would prepare gifts for Yuchen alone, but Yuxi has always ignored it.
Mother Li said, "How can this be the same? Now the fourth girl is also studying with Mr. Song. The fourth girl is doing so well now, even if it is not better than the third girl, it will not be worse in the future. The third master just did this. I am not afraid of the cold to the heart of the four girls." The four girls are well, and they can marry a good family in the future, which is also beneficial to the family. If the father and daughter are at odds, even if the four girls marry a good family, it will not help the family.
The Qiu clan didn’t think so, and said with a smile: "Chill? The gifts were prepared by the Wu clan. Yuxi would only blame the Wu clan to blame. How could he blame the third one. It’s like these gifts, do you think The third master really doesn't know?" How smart is that little uncle, would he not know that Wu's gifts are getting less and less? I just want to save myself more money.
Although Yuchen has obtained a lot of good things, she is not happy at all. Yuchen found the old lady and said, "Grandma, only gave me something alone, but the fourth sister did not. For many years, I am afraid that the fourth sister will follow I have a rift." She has spent a lot of time with Yuxi, and she has cultivated the feelings behind her. She didn't want to affect her sisterhood with Yuxi because of these messy things.
The old lady put down the tea cup and asked, "Then what do you think should be resolved?"
Yuchen said: "Or give the fourth sister a gift, or don't give it at all. Grandma, you should tell your mother about this matter!" It's all about small things before, so let's not go. It was covered up. This time, Wu Shi gave her two boxes of things alone, and it was difficult not to criticize them. From this gift, Yu Chen felt that Wu Shi was uneasy and kind, and he would stir up the wind and rain without showing up. When you come back, the mansion will definitely not be peaceful.
The old lady nodded and said, "I'll talk to your father about this." Yuchen is a junior, and she has to come forward because these things are not easy to talk about.
The maids of the Qiangweiyuan are all grieving for Yuxi, but Yuxi, who is the client, did not take this matter to heart at all. Instead, she missed her bun shop and grocery store: "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be over in a few days. Now, the grocery store’s business should be very good?” The grocery store opened by Yuxi is a bit more expensive than other stores because of its good stuff. However, the residents of Shangyuan Street generally have some extra money and are willing to do so, so the grocery store Business is pretty good. Earning six taels of silver in the first month, the prospects are very promising.
Hong Shan smiled and said, "Girl, the mooncakes in our shop are so delicious, and they will definitely sell out." This is also luck, because the woman who made the mooncakes was not found by Fang's mother, but she took the initiative to find the door. . The woman's surname was Zhou, and she overheard that Fang's mother wanted to hire a woman who would be an interviewer, so she took the initiative to find it. Zhou's Jiangnan food is very authentic, and moon cakes are also very good. Mom Fang hired her after trying what she made.
The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Han Jianye came back.
Yuxi took Zijin to see Han Jianye, and said that he wanted Zijin to learn martial arts with him. Han Jianye shook his head and said, "Xie'er, Shimen martial arts cannot be passed on."
Yuxi said, "Second brother, you didn't let Zijin learn from your teacher's unique skills, and just guide Zijin with two tricks?"
Han Jianye shook his head and said: "No. Even if she is to instruct her, she has to ask her master first. If the master knows that I will teach martial arts to others without her consent, I am afraid that I will be expelled from the master."
Yuxi was shocked, if he was really expelled from the teacher's door, the future of the second brother would be gone. Yuxi said quickly: "If this is the case, then forget it."
Han Jianye smiled and said: "When I go back to the mountain, I have asked the master first. If his old man agrees, I will teach this little girl two tricks."
Yuxi nodded and said, "Second brother, don't tell anyone about this!" Don't let the old lady punish Zijin before learning kung fu.
Han Jianye smiled and said, "Don't tell anyone. Yuxi, you have lost a lot of weight recently!" Han Jianye still thinks Yuxi, who was white, fat and round, looks good.
Yuxi said, "No, it's still the same as before."
Han Jianye smiled and squeezed Yuxi's face: "Well, what's the same as before, there is no meat on the face, only bones. Eat more, just get fat for nothing!"
Yuxi's head is full of black lines. How about white and fat? When she was a fat baby wow! The second brother's temperament is really ridiculous, and he doesn't know when he will mature.
During the holidays, the masters of the Guogong Mansion ate together. The Mid-Autumn Festival is no exception. Everyone gathers in the upper house.
Yuxi looked at the auntie Lian who should have appeared but appeared, and felt a little bit in her heart. You must know that although Aunt Rong was favored before, she never appeared during the holidays. This pity sister-in-law is a good way to get the old lady to agree to appear when the family is reunited.
Looking for an opportunity, Yuxi asked Liu Yin in a low voice: "Sister Liu Yin, why is Aunt Lian appearing here?"
Liu Yin smiled and said: "Aunt Lian is pregnant, so the old lady specially allowed her to attend today's dinner." Aunt Lian kept concealing her pregnancy this time, not revealing the mountains and water, even her wife did not hide it. , It took the first three months to say it.
Yuxi's eyes moved, and even the elder aunt didn't hide it. The act of pitying auntie was obviously anxious for the eldest mother. However, if you can keep it for the first three months, it must have been overwhelming all the maidservants around you. This method, Aunt Bi Rong was beyond compare. I don't know where the old lady found such a powerful role.
Seeing that Yuxi's expression was not very good, Liu Yin pressed the post in his heart, and he did not lose sight of his wife's usual practice of taking care of the four girls: "Girls don't need to worry, pity auntie acts appropriately, not like Aunt Rong. Besides, the old lady won't let Aunt Lian go beyond the rules."
Yuxi looked at Aunt Lian who was pregnant and standing still serving Qiu's vegetables, and smiled lightly: "The rules are irregular and vary from person to person." Aunt Lian will not shake the status of the eldest aunt no matter how powerful she is, but Having a concubine who is like Aunt Rong still makes people deserve it. It's just that it's no use worrying about Yuxi, she can't interfere with this kind of thing.
After the moon worship, everyone gathered to eat moon cakes. The old lady smiled and said to Yuchen: "Chen'er, today is the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, you can play a song to cheer up."
Yuchen immediately ordered the maid to get the piano and played a very cheerful tune.
Listening to the pleasing sound of the piano and eating delicious cakes and fruits, Yuxi felt very enjoyable.
After playing a song, Yu Jing said with a smile: "The third sister plays really well. The fourth sister, I heard that your painting is very good. I wonder if the fourth sister can paint the beautiful scenery tonight?"
Yuxi knew that Yu Jing couldn't hide her nature, and she couldn't settle down after only a few days after she came out: "I learned painting from my husband, but my painting skills are far from that of my third sister, so I won't be ugly." Yuxi doesn't care if people say that Yuchen is better than her, because Yuchen is indeed better than her. This is a fact, and she can't avoid and taboo. But everyone has what they are good at, and she also has skills that Yuchen can't match, such as embroidery, although this skill is a bit cheaper.
Yuchen smiled softly: "Four sisters are humble." Mr. Song told Yuchen that Yuxi is talented in painting, but Yuxi prefers embroidery and spends very little time on painting, which makes Song Mr. is horrified. In fact, Yuchen can't understand. Is embroidery more important than painting skills! In her case, she must have learned painting but not embroidery.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Han Jianye returned to the mountain.
What Yuxi didn't expect was that a few days later, Han Jianye's personal entourage sent her back a boxing book. Han Jianye's personal entourage said: "Four girls, Master Yang, after hearing the young master talk about Zijin, gave this boxing book, and told Zijin girl to practice according to this book."
After everyone left, Yuxi opened this book of boxing, all of which were all kinds of moves, well, she actually couldn't understand this stuff. Yuxi gave this boxing book to Zi Jin and said, "When you are fine, you can practice according to the drawing in this book and practice every day without interruption, you know?"
Zijin didn't even think about it, and said, "Okay." Learning this is much easier than learning Chinese characters. Don't look at only recognizing three words a day, but it adds up to more every day. And she forgot after learning, and she hasn't forgotten fast. She wanted to cry every time she was scolded by a girl.
Yuxi said, "If you practice boxing, go to the backyard to do it. Don't do it in the front yard, remember?" Zijin practice boxing can't be concealed, and Yuxi didn't think about it. However, there are people coming and going in the front yard, and it will be troublesome if you hit someone. The back yard is spacious and no one is walking around.
Zijin nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay."
At the end of the month, Yuchen and Mr. Song said: "Sir, my grandmother said that the parenting mother will come for two days. When the parenting mother comes, I can't study with her husband all day."
Every year in September, a group of people will be released from the palace. The grandmothers of the nobles in the palace who have served their concubines have become very popular, and the powerful people want to welcome these people home to teach their girls. The old lady has already picked someone, just waiting to welcome them back home.
Mr. Song had already received the news, and he was not surprised by it. He said: "From now on, I will come to Yulan Garden in the morning and learn the rules with the mother in the afternoon. I will give you the new curriculum schedule next time in class." Actually, I want Song. The husband said that Yuchen’s etiquette is already excellent, and he doesn’t need to educate the mother at all. Just this kind of thing, there is no room for her to peck.
