Chapter 111: Give a handkerchief?
Jiang Xia saw that the eldest lady was so surprised and rare to praise her dexterity and embroidery skills, she smiled and said:
You have forgotten that your embroidery art is a hundred times better than mine! What adult would not praise you when you embroidered flowers when you were twelve years old?
'You forgot everything, let me tell you, only that Liu Gongzi has already praised you as a flower, and when she saw you, she was all smiling and groaning. ’
When Zheng Xiaowen heard Liu Gongzi's mother, his eyes suddenly opened and said, "Didn't you say that the Liu family has gone to the countryside, how can his mother meet me?"
Jiang Xia said: "Didn't I also say that his family still has a house here, his hometown in the countryside is not very far from here, and in his house, there is also a family who looks after the house there, and they have to come twice a year to see their house." ’
Zheng Xiaowen answered: 'Subordinate, I remember you seem to have said this word, what does subordination mean?'
Jiang Xia smiled and said:
The subordinate refers to those of us who serve the master, you are the master, and I am the subordinate, which is just a different statement.
In fact, our status in this family is not low, like our eight families in the Zheng Mansion, if anyone has a child, or whose family is sick, the lord and the lady have to go to see it, and they are also very concerned.
I thought about it, as long as people are not bullied, they are not inferior. was bullied, and there was no place to reason, so that person was the real subordinate. However, the subordinate and the bad guy can't be confused, that's a world of difference. ’
Zheng Xiaowen listened to Jiang Xia's words, and she said in her heart: No wonder my grandmother always said that in the past, boys looking for daughters-in-law had a saying: 'You can find everyone's slaves, not little girls'. Look at this Jiang Xia, although she is a girl, she knows a lot, she knows books and reason. It seems that the older generation said those two sentences, but they really didn't say it wrong!
Zheng Xiaowen thought about what Jiang Xia said, and thought about what the older generation said, she was excited in her heart, and she was happy, and said: "Teacher Jiang, you took this class, I have been educated a lot, and today I understand what a real subordinate is, and there is a difference between a subordinate and a bad person." ’
Jiang Xia kept watching and waiting in a daze, and when Zheng Xiaowen finished speaking, she came back to her senses, so anxious that she shook her hands and kicked her feet and said:
'Oh, eldest lady, what did you call me just now, your honorific title, if the old mothers in the courtyard heard it, they might jump into the sky in shock, or they would sit on the ground with a laugh, smash the ground, and sit in the pit on the ground and laugh!
Jokes like this, old mothers, they've never heard of it in their three lifetimes. Don't talk about old mothers, it's just grandfathers, uncles, buddies, they haven't heard of this in their lives, and you must not say it again in the future!,
Zheng Xiaowen thought to herself: Anyway, she is now 16 years old, so whatever, just play! She learned from Jiang Xia, and also shook her two hands and kicked her two feet, but she said with a smile: "I said, I said, I just said, Teacher Jiang! Teacher Jiang! Why? I see that you are knowledgeable, I can't call you Teacher Jiang? Who dares to say no? I say yes, it's okay!
Jiang Xia had no choice, she smiled and wondered:
What's wrong with this eldest lady? She's grown so big, I've been in front of her, I've shaken my hands and kicked my feet like this, but she's never played with such an action?
Miss, she has amnesia, even if she forgets a lot of things, but she's not crazy, her people can't become like this?
But...... Except for the fun of this moment, the eldest lady didn't find out what she had done. Forget it, forget it, the eldest lady hasn't done anything out of the ordinary, you Jiang Xia don't think nonsense!
Jiang Xia said: 'Miss, don't play, don't play, let's continue to get down to business.' The Liu family comes twice a year, not just to see his family's house, his family and our family are friends, and they have to interact with each other. In addition, the two families are sons and daughters, and Liu Gongzi still lives here, every time his family comes, Liu Gongzi's three elder brothers have to drive three carriages and bring a lot of agricultural products and gifts to our house. ’
Zheng Xiaowen felt strange again, and said: 'His family has been ruined to return to his hometown, how can his family still be so magnificent, driving a carriage and giving gifts?'
Jiang Xia said:
'A hundred-legged worm will not stiffen until death. The Liu family is in their hometown, and they also have many friends, they originally had fields at home, and after two or three years of going home, Mr. Liu took the three sons who returned to his hometown to bear hardships and stand hard work, plus the help of friends, his family slowly started again.
Every time they came to our house, his three sons drove three big carriages, and I watched them always sit in front of the carriage, enter the back door of our house with a majestic and proud wind, and then park the carriage in the courtyard behind it. When Jiang Xia said this, Gegege laughed.
Zheng Xiaowen said: 'What you said is not ridiculous, what are you smiling at?'
Jiang Xia said: "Every time I hear that someone from the Liu family has come to our house, I always run out to see it first. She pointed to Zheng Xiaowen, "Because it was someone from your mother-in-law's family who came, I asked you to go out at that time, but you didn't dare to go out, so scared that you didn't dare to go out in this house for half a day, Gegegege!"
Zheng Xiaowen said: 'I don't dare to go out, how can Liu Gongzi's mother see me?'
Jiang Xia said: "That's the way it is, Liu Gongzi and his mother have a table of dinner with you at our house, can she not see you? Every time she comes to our house, she has to come to our Westinghouse with your mother to sit for a while." Every time she sees you, I see her like that, and I treat you very dearly and happily!'
Zheng Xiaowen said: 'Oh, I see. Then, Liu Gongzi lives in our house, do I meet and talk to him every day?"
Jiang Xia hurriedly shook her hand and said:
'No, no, Liu Gongzi is very diligent in reading, but he doesn't like to talk or go out. Even when I went out and saw someone, I said hello very politely and walked over.
"The garden is a little far away from our Westinghouse, and you won't go to the garden after Liu Gongzi lives in our house." You told me you never met him, let alone talked to him. You told me that until now, you don't know what he looks like!'
Zheng Xiaowen asked: 'I haven't met Liu Gongzi, I haven't talked to Liu Gongzi, I don't even know what he looks like, how can I embroider a handkerchief for him?'
Jiang Xia said: "You haven't seen him, I've seen him, I often tell you about him, he is as tall as your third and fourth brothers this year, and he has grown into an adult, I have told you this several times." ’
Zheng Xiaowen said in his heart: Who knows who is the third brother and who is the fourth brother!
Jiang Xia was still saying: "Your third brother and your fourth brother are all considered top-class talents, and Liu Gongzi's appearance is better than that of your two elder brothers." ’
Zheng Xiaowen said: 'I think your brother is very good-looking, is Liu Gongzi as good-looking as your brother?'
Jiang Xia said: "My brother is outstanding and good-looking among boys, so if he compares with Liu Gongzi, to be honest, he is not as good as Liu Gongzi." ’
Zheng Xiaowen smiled, pointed at Jiang Xia and said:
"You little girl, just coax me, I won't fall for you." Even if you look at Liu Gongzi good-looking, I don't necessarily look good-looking. Besides, character comes first, looks come second, I don't know his character yet, I'll give him a handkerchief? Don't even think about it, don't send it!
"Then again, even if he has a good character and good looks, he has lived in our house for a few years, he is a boy, he doesn't say anything about me, I'm a girl, why should I give him something first?
Jiang Xia said in her heart: This eldest lady forgets things, and she can't forget that it's not her......
