This year is the first year of the filial piety period of the Changxiang Hou Mansion, and it is also the first year that the Changfang married the bride. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and Zhu has the intention to avoid Xiao Miao's edge, blindly refuse, Miao does not force it, Xiao Miao sees this new sister-in-law so interesting, but does not think that she is really unwilling to housekeeping, with Xiao Miao's mind is naturally very suspicious of Zhu's move, but she is unwilling to let Zhu share the power of stewardship, and she is happy to push the boat down the river to take the errand alone, but in Xiao Miao's heart, Zhu's defense has another layer.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone gathered in the main room of Shou'an Hall, even Yao Qibin, who was just over a year old, because the old lady spoke, and the aunts also set up a table of wine in the room. In the main room, when the dishes were all ready, the old lady took the lead in speaking, and everyone below also said some auspicious words before the banquet began.

After the meal, the old lady led her children and grandchildren to talk in the warm pavilion.

Zhu also wanted to blend in, and saw that the stitches of a handkerchief in Yao Kerong's hand were a little jerky, and knew that she had embroidered it herself, so she asked, "Sister Rong'er's handkerchief was embroidered by herself?"

Yao Kerong embarrassedly pinched the handkerchief in his hand, and said with a red face: "The embroidery is not good, it makes the eldest aunt smile!"

Zhu covered his lips and smiled, "What are you talking about, when the eldest aunt is as old as you, the embroidery is not as good as you!" Zhu's embroidery is actually very good, because the Miao family has no extra money for her, so she has to secretly embroider things for Chunxiang to sell, so as to buy some rouge gouache.

Hearing Zhu mention this, the old lady also remembered that because of filial piety, the upbringing of several children was delayed, and a few grandchildren were repaid. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look around, and saw that several granddaughters were at the age when they should learn, so I said: "I see that the children are all older, and it is time to start a boudoir school." ”

Xiao Miao answered: "What my mother said is, but I haven't found a suitable embroidery master, so I've been delayed!"

Miao knew that Xiao Miao had never cared about those concubines, but fortunately he didn't treat them harshly, so he could only turn a blind eye to this, "Not only embroidery has to be taught, etiquette, talent, poetry and books are also invited." ”

Zhu was unwilling to let the words be taken away as soon as he spoke, "I see, the girls of our Yao family are all excellent, and it will naturally take more effort to raise them." ”

Miao nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "I think I'll clean up the small courtyard next to my yard and use it as a boudoir!" As for Mr., let's ask one to teach embroidery, one to teach poetry, another to teach etiquette, and another to teach piano!"

Xiao Miao agreed: "Mother said yes!" The words changed, "Isn't it appropriate to just ask only one master to teach the piano? These children may not all love to play the piano!"

Hearing Xiao Miao's words, Yao Keqing secretly said in her heart: Sure enough, she came! She doesn't remember how she was coaxed by her in her previous life not to learn piano skills, but in this life, she doesn't learn piano skills, and she won't follow her will.

When Zhu heard this, he couldn't help but pour cold water on Xiao Miao's family, "This boudoir has never been a thief!"

The Miao family doesn't look down on the Zhu family, "Our family still has a few dollars to lose, and we can't even afford to raise a girl?"

Xiao Miao glanced at Zhu, looked at Yao Keqing and said, "I heard that Sister Qing likes to make Xiao, and I heard that she still has Zhi Xiao hanging at the head of her bed!"

Zhu's face turned purple when he heard this, Xiao Miao's words were saying that she treated her stepdaughter harshly and was reluctant to spend money to raise her, and it was not her money that was spent.

Yao Keqing said: "I just saw that it was very useful to use it to tease the tent, so I hung it on the head of the bed." Zhu laughed out loud when he heard this, and finally made this concubine deflated.

Xiao Miao said embarrassedly: "I saw you hanging it at the head of the bed, I thought you liked it, but I never thought that you had other uses!"

Yao Keqing saw that there was no disappointment in Xiao Miao's eyes, so he said: "I think it's good to learn the piano, it just so happens that the sisters are all learning!" Seeing Xiao Miao's eyes flashing, as if he was thinking about something, Yao Keqing said again: "But because everyone learns, I don't think I want to learn anymore!"

Xiao Miao's eyes flashed, "Then what does Sister Qing want to learn?"

Yao Keqing tilted his head and glanced at Xiao Miao, thought for a moment and said, "I saw a pipa in my mother's dowry, it seems that it is still made by a famous family, so I will learn the pipa." ”

Xiao Miao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, she didn't have to think about it herself, she gave up learning the piano by herself, but saved herself effort. Yao Kerou heard that it was made by a famous family, and she felt a little yearning in her heart, thinking that her mother had said that the second sister's mother had a lot of dowry, so she hurriedly asked: "Second sister, is there a piano in the dowry of the eldest aunt?"

Yao Keqing looked at Yao Kerou with a smile, then looked at Zhu and said, "Then you have to ask your aunt!"

Yao Kerou suddenly remembered that Yao Keqing called the current eldest aunt his mother and his biological mother his mother, and was suddenly a little embarrassed. The Zhu family's dowry is very small, except for a hundred acres of dry land, there are only some bulky furniture left, and then there are hundreds of taels of silver at the bottom of the box, how can there be those precious things.

Zhu was very embarrassed, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he had to bite the bullet and say: "There is no piano in the dowry of the eldest aunt, if Sister Rou wants it, you might as well say it, and the eldest aunt will help you buy it!"

Yao Kerou knew that she was abrupt, so she shook her head hurriedly, but she still thanked her, "Thank you, auntie, I'll let my mother buy it for me." Hearing this, Yao Keqing was about to laugh, Yao Kerou's temperament was better than his previous life, and he couldn't speak, didn't he clearly look down on the Zhu family.

Seeing that Zhu's face was flushed, Xiao Miao was also embarrassed, and the old lady had to come out to play the round, "Since Sister Qing wants to learn the pipa, and Sister Rou wants to learn the piano, then Sister Rong, Sister Yi and Sister Meng want to learn something!"

Yao Kerong and Yao Keyi's aunts didn't have the money to buy them clothes, and they didn't dare to trouble the old lady and Xiao Miao, so they had to say, "My granddaughter wants to learn the piano!"

And Yao Ke dreamed of her aunt teaching her and letting her follow the fourth sister in everything, so she said: "My granddaughter also wants to learn the piano!"

Miao said: "Since this is the case, then just ask a piano master! As for Sister Qing'......." It's just that there aren't many people who are good at pipa, and I'm afraid that it's hard to find for a while. "What is prevalent in the capital is the art of the piano, and most of the ladies are learning the piano, so there are many more masters who teach the art of the piano than others.

Yao Keqing knew that Miao was unwilling to hire a master for herself alone, and she didn't expect her to be attentive to herself. But Xiao Miao was afraid that Yao Keqing would say, "Since I can't ask for teaching, then I'll follow them to learn the piano!" and hurriedly said: "Although it's not easy to invite, you can always find it, Sister Qing'er can rest assured! The second aunt will definitely find a suitable one for you." ”

When Yao Keqing heard this, he really wanted to ask Xiao Miao, "Are you so afraid that I will learn the piano? Are you so afraid that I will crush your daughter? Even if I am smarter than Yao Kerou, I won't know anything?"

Yao Keqing ignored the loving smile on Xiao Miao's face, if you want Bo Xianming, don't pull me!" "Don't bother the second aunt! It doesn't matter if this master can't be invited, I'll think about it slowly! It's just a piano class...... I don't want to go to school, so I'll go back to my room when I take piano lessons!"

Xiao Miao was afraid that Yao Keqing would say that after that momentary pause, she would say that she would follow them to the piano class, but fortunately she didn't, so she was suddenly relieved, but said: "How can this be done without a master's teaching?" The second aunt will slowly find it for you, you can always find it!"

Yao Keqing knew that Xiao Miao didn't really want to look for it, and she didn't bother to be polite to her, so she just nodded, and said to Zhu: "I remember that the pipa was locked in the back cover room in my mother's yard, and I will take it out in two days, what is inconvenient about my mother?"

Because Fang's dowry is still in the back room of Yilan Courtyard, but the key is in Yao Keqing's hands, although the Zhu family feels that it will damage her face as a lady in the main room, but Yao Keqing doesn't care about her face at all, she has to say: "What's so convenient and inconvenient!

"Thank you mother so much!" Yao Keqing still gave Zhu face in front of everyone.

Miao saw that the grandsons were very bored with him, so he asked them to go out to play with the fireworks, "This year, the palace has enjoyed a batch of newly made fireworks, children can also play, Brother Kang took his younger brothers to play, as for Brother Bin, just let the nurse hold it in his arms and take a look, don't let him do it." ”

Yao Qishen followed behind the two elder brothers, Yao Keqing gave a look, and Aunt Fan, who was waiting outside, also followed. Yao Kerou also wanted to go, so she coquettishly played in the arms of the old lady, "Grandmother, Rou'er also wants to play with fireworks!"

Miao was afraid that Yao Kerou would play wild, so he resolutely refused to allow it, "That's a boy playing, how can a daughter's family play that!"

"Then is the Analects also read by boys?" asked Yao Kerou.

Miao was stunned for a moment, and didn't know what Yao Kerou was doing when she suddenly asked this, but she replied truthfully: "Yes!

Yao Kerou pointed at Yao Keqing and said, "But my mother said that the second sister read the Analects!"

Xiao Miao was a little embarrassed, she didn't expect Yao Kerou to take out what she said in private and say it, but fortunately, she didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, and quickly stopped Yao Kerou, "Mother just said, your second sister has taken the "Analects" to teach your third brother to endorse, where did you say that your second sister read the "Analects"!"

"Isn't this endorsement just reading?" Yao retorted.

Xiao Miao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yao Kerou really said as he thought, "The difference between this endorsement and reading is too big! This endorsement only needs to be literate, but what about reading this book, you still have to understand the meaning of the book!

"I don't know. Yao Kerou shook her head, I don't know if she really didn't understand the difference, or if Xiao Miao's words were too tongue-twisting, and she didn't understand.

Miao smiled and said, "You don't understand, anyway, you can't set off fireworks today." Kerou suddenly pouted, always unhappy.

It wasn't until the end of the year that everyone went back to the courtyard, Yao Chongming naturally followed the Zhu family back to the Yilan Courtyard, Xiao Miao's was secretly angry behind his back, and he almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth, since the Zhu family entered the door, Yao Chongming has never entered Zhu Xiaomiao's house again.

The old lady patted Xiao Miao's hand gently, the two glanced at each other, did not speak, but there was a long-lost tacit understanding between the two.
