Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the end of the year, and Hebei's New Year gifts are also delivered. Qiu looked at the gift list and said with a smile: "The three old officials are getting bigger and bigger, and the gifts are getting less and less." The bigger the official, the more money, but the more stingy.
Mother Li said, "Madam, don't look at it, let the old slave take it to them and put it in the treasury!" It's just a leisurely look.
After receiving the gift list, Mama Li said, "Madam, I heard that the third master gave two large boxes of things to the fourth girl this time."
The Qiu family said: "It should be the old lady who spoke!" The only one who has a standpoint is the old lady, so this is easy to guess.
Yuxi, who received the gift, looked very calm, with no joy or sorrow. Yuxi's expression was faint, and then he ordered the people to open the box: "Look at what you gave me?"
There are two large boxes of things, one of which is Zanhuangjinsi jujube, dried apricot plums, dried pears, etc.; the other box contains several paintings made of white reeds, which are very distinctive, including cranes and old men fishing. , The eagle spreads its wings and wants to fly, etc.
Yuxi ordered the people to pack everything up: "The food is put in the kitchen. After receiving the gift, as long as it is not a single item, it is not wrong to take the extra one. But now the problem is that Yuxi got it for the first time. Gifts, but not excited at all, but can distribute gifts calmly. This attitude makes people have to think deeply.
In the afternoon, Yuxi went to Tingyun Pavilion to learn the rules as usual. Seeing Yuchen's smiling face, he asked: "Did the third sister get something good?"
Yuchen smiled and said: "It's not a good thing, just a set of bone china tea set. What did the fourth sister get?"
Yuxi avoided the importance and said lightly: "Father gave me several paintings. These paintings are very distinctive. I picked a crane and hung it in the study."
Yuchen's mood is a bit complicated, it seems that Dad has never given her a painting. In Yuchen's heart, the painting her father gave must be a famous painting: "Really? Then I can go to your yard to watch the painting that father gave you later?"
Yuxi hesitated a little, and finally nodded slowly: "Naturally."
Seeing Yuxi, Mother Quan did not start to teach the rules, but asked: "The third master gave the New Year gift back today. The third girl is very happy to have the gift. Don't the fourth girl have a gift?"
Yuxi nodded and said: "Yes, two big boxes. Grandma asked Yuxi to sit down, she also sat cross-legged in front of Yuxi, and asked: "Then why didn't I see the joy in your face? "
Yuxi didn't bow her head anymore, because she bowed her head and was instructed by the grandmother to say that she was stubborn, so she would face the inquiries from the grandmother. She did not bow her head, but did not speak, and remained silent.
The grandmother said: "Do you have grievances in your heart? You complain about the indifference of the third master over the years, even if he gave you something this time, you still have grievances."
Why would Yuxi bear this title: "I have no complaints. He is my father, the biological father who gave birth to me and raised me. I am also very happy to receive the gift today, but I am not as happy as my third sister." He said at once: "The third sister got a complete set of bone china tea sets, and my two large boxes combined are not as valuable as the third sister's cup."
Grandma was taken aback for a while, but she quickly reprimanded Yuxi with a stern face: "Don't say that your father gave you two big boxes, but he gave you a feather. That's also a miss for you, yes. Your father has a paternal heart."
Yuxi wanted to laugh when she heard the four words of a fatherly heart. In her previous life, Han Jingyan ignored her for 16 years, and treated her as nothing in 16 years. When she heard that she didn’t want to marry Jiang Hongjin, he threw one away. Bai Ling gave it to her. It was a great irony to use Han Jingyan's fatherly heart, but it was a pity that Yuxi didn't smile, but cried, tears running down her cheeks, drop by drop on the ground.
Mother Quan spent more than three months in the Guogong Mansion, and she knew better about Yuxi, so she was not surprised that Yuxi would complain. At this time, Yuxi cried in front of her, but she didn't persuade her, she just sat there and watched Yuxi cry. It was not until Yuxi finished crying that she handed a veil to Yuxi, and her words became lighter: "Wipe your tears!"
After Yuxi recovered her peace, she said embarrassedly, "Sister, don't be offended."
The grandmother did not blame, she just said: "Four girls, filial piety is the root of human beings. Without filial piety, no matter how talented and beautiful looks, you will not tolerate the world!" After a pause, she said, "Furthermore, no matter what the woman is before she gets married After getting married, it will be very difficult without the support of father and brothers."
Yuxi smiled bitterly: "I know what the mother said, but..." After a pause, Yuxi said, "I don't hide from the mother. I haven't seen my father since I was born, and the people around me follow me. My father doesn't like me or my mother. They all say that I am superfluous. So I think the gift I received this time should be prepared by my stepmother, and my father didn't know it."
The grandma said in disagreement: "Four girls, that is your mother too. Fourth girls, I know that the third wife is the step-family, but even if she is the step-family, that is your elder. You are facing her. At the time, you must be courteous and considerate so that people can't make mistakes."
Yuxi knows what the grandmother said: "Mother, I will correct it." She has a lot to learn.
The grandmother omitted the third wife directly. She stayed in the Guogong Mansion for so long, knowing that there are old lady and the head wife Qiu clan, even if the Wu clan comes back, Yuxi won't be bullied, as long as Yuxi has a few weeks of etiquette, there is nothing else to worry about. 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 support. You must be respectful and filial to the third master." Respect and filial, Although they are all four words, they are totally different from each other.
After hearing this, Yuxi said in pain, "Mother, I don't know what to do." She knew that if she wanted to live well in the Guogong Mansion, she had to suppress her resentment in her heart, and then worked hard to please the old lady and her. Her father, but she couldn't do it, she couldn't pretend to like it when she was obviously disgusted, and she couldn't do it without emotion.
Mother Quan looked at Yuxi and couldn't help sighing. She was too demanding. After all, the five-year-old child has been treated unfairly. It’s hard to be able to do this now: "I will teach you how to do it."
Yuxi showed a relaxed expression on her face: "Thank you, Mother."
Mother Quan shook her head and said: "No thanks. The educating mother teaches not only the rules and etiquette, but also the teaching of life and social interaction, the head of the board and the management." She can't guarantee whether she is sincere filial piety. , But what she wants to ensure is that Yuxi cannot make mistakes in her life.
Yuxi was stunned. It turned out that the parenting mother taught so many things. No wonder that Yuchen didn’t dislike any of Yuchen’s social and social activities. Later, when she became a queen, she was praised as a mother of the country. It's a big portion. The old woman who taught her in her previous life is not worthy of being called a nanny.
Grandma asked: "Why, do you think too much?"
Yuxi shook her head hurriedly and said, "No, I'm just very happy. I'm glad I can learn so many things from my mother in the future." These are all practical things, and I have learned them for life.
Mother Quan said indifferently: "I can teach, but it's up to you to learn how much and how much you can learn." There was a saying that was well said, the master led the door, and the practice was personal.
Yuxi nodded hurriedly and said, "I will definitely study hard."
When it's time, Yuxi will end get out of class. As soon as I left the house, I saw Yuchen's personal servant Shiqin waiting in the yard. Shiqin was left for dinner by Qing Yuxi: "When the dinner is over, my girl wants to go to the Rose House to see paintings with the fourth girl."
A weird flash appeared on Yuxi's face. Looking at the painting, what is so good about the reed painting? At this time, Yuxi never thought that Yuchen would think that what Han Jingyan gave her was a famous painting: "Okay." Since she invited her to stay, she could also take the opportunity to taste the medicated meal prepared by the grandmother.
Looking at the table full of dishes, the dishes on the table are all white blue and white porcelain, and the chopsticks on the plates are glowing with a warm luster at this time. Take a closer look, the chopsticks are all made of ivory. .
Yuxi feels too extravagant, she is indeed the old lady's most beloved granddaughter! Even the plates and chopsticks are so exquisite. However, slowly a large table of dishes, is it too wasteful. I slander in my heart, but I won't say it.
Yuchen looked at the clothes, went to the dining hall, saw Yuxi, smiled and said, "Sister Sisi has been waiting for a long time, right?"
Yuxi shook his head: "No, just arrived."
At this time, four maids walked in outside, the first holding a glass of water, the second holding an empty basin, the third holding a copper basin of water, and the fourth holding a kerchief.
Yuxi saw that Yuchen rinsed his mouth first, then vomited into the second basin, then washed his hands in the copper basin, and finally took the kerchief and dried his hands.
Yuxi's eyes flashed, it was not that she hadn't been served by a maid, but she didn't have such a big formation as Yuchen. Yuxi didn't say anything, and took the tea from another maid, and the next action was the same as Yuchen.
After the two sat down, Yuchen smiled and said, "I don't know what dishes the fourth sister likes. I will let the chef cook the dishes that the fourth sister likes next time.
Yuxi’s lunch and dinner are four dishes and one soup. Yuxi feels a bit wasteful just like that. The dishes at this table don’t know how much it costs: "Sister, I’m not picky, I love everything." People who have been hungry are always picky eaters.
The dishes on this table are not only full of color, fragrance, and taste, but they are also very good.
Yuxi was 70% full and didn't plan to eat anymore, but she didn't expect the maid to bring another bowl of medicated meal. Now, if you don't eat, you have to eat.
After taking the first bite, Yuxi almost got her tongue in it. It was so delicious. It was the first time for Yuxi to have such delicious food. I have lived for more than 20 years in my last life, and I have never eaten such a delicious thing. It is really a waste of life.
After dinner, the maid brought tea to rinse her mouth and cleaned it again. Yuxi asked, "Sister Sister, this medicated diet is so delicious, who made it?" In fact, Yuxi guessed that it was made by Grandma.
Yuchen smiled and said: "This is made by Grandma Quan, and I use a bowl every day." Yuchen, who is used to good things, was surprised when he ate the medicated meal made by Grandma Quan for the first time. .
