228. Teach etiquette
He Jiaxian was already surprised why Aunt Mei was willing to hand over power, but Fang Qirui's explanation was death, and Aunt Mei's explanation was that she was old. Thinking that Aunt Mei loved face and didn't want to say it too bluntly, she acquiesced in her dead heart, and replied with a smile: "This is the responsibility of the daughter-in-law." ”
Aunt Mei had prejudices against the Chen family, so she naturally refused to give up power to the Zhou family, but she didn't know why Fang Qizong didn't fight for the Zhou family? Now the financial power is in the hands of Dafang, and she is a legitimate daughter-in-law.
Of course, He Jiaxian couldn't figure out these twists and turns, so he only had doubts in his heart and asked Aunt Mei what she needed to do.
Aunt Mei said: "You can memorize my new rules before you come over." The actual affairs will be taught to you when those mothers-in-law and maids get started. ”
This is also normal, He Jiaxian listened to Lu Yinnian next to him.
It was the exclusive right of the lady to save something in the morning and dusk, and Aunt Mei couldn't enjoy it, so she didn't hear it.
He Jiaxian first breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said that he didn't need to get up early in the future.
I listened to Lu Yan and said: "I invited a big family to raise my grandmother to come and teach etiquette...... not only she wants to participate, but also Zhou's family wants to participate, as well as Ran Ran, as well as Fang Yucui, a girl who has not left the pavilion in the third room, and Fang Yuying, a ten-year-old daughter in the fifth room...... In addition to the elders, the female dependents of the family are all involved.
"Just go tell them. Aunt Mei rubbed her eyebrows: "That grandma will probably arrive tomorrow." ”
When she was old, she actually wanted to learn the rules again, Zhou looked at He Jiaxian suspiciously, and didn't believe it, and secretly said that Aunt Mei was afraid that the power of the housekeeper would fall into her hands, so she deliberately found such an errand to torture her, so she smiled and said: "Uncle is sick, and he has to take medicine every day." In the past, I didn't care about anything and was uncomfortable for three or two days, but now I have to look at the accounts, my mind is tired, and I am even weaker, and my brother is small, and I can't leave anyone all the time, but I am afraid that I will not have time to go. ”
He Jiaxian thought that it was also the truth, and said with a smile: "Then I'll go and talk to the family, and my sister-in-law won't participate." ”
Zhou thanked him with a smile.
The rest of the people were very refreshing, and the third lady and the fifth lady agreed happily, praising Aunt Mei for her thoughtfulness.
He Jiaxian realized that etiquette and manners were so important to the girls.
It's really rare that she behaves rudely, Fang Qirui didn't dislike her, thank God.
went to Aunt Mei to reply, but Aunt Mei was not there, so she told Lu Yan the result.
When Lu Yan heard that the Zhou family did not participate, she seemed to have guessed a long time ago, and before He Jiaxian finished speaking, she immediately asked in a deep voice: "When the family told the slave maid, if the second grandmother can't do this kind of thing, there is no need to think about the housekeeper in the future." ”
Where did He Jiaxian want to take care of the house, and was about to explain, Lu Yin said again: "Second grandmother doesn't have to explain. It's just that there are not enough people, and classes can't be held. If the second grandmother can't persuade the eldest grandmother to attend on time, then the rest of the people will also ask the second grandmother to run again and refuse together. ”
He Jiaxian was taken aback, and immediately felt embarrassed, and said: "The third lady and the fifth lady are so happy, how can I say......?
Before her words fell, Lu Yan had already said with a straight face: "I said that there were a few people, that is, a few people, if everyone is so disrespectful to the rules, what is the use of the family to set these rules? ”
He Jiaxian couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the fierce and vicious and ruthless indifference of the third lady and the fifth lady who stopped Fang Yuting, who was not allowed to die, to enter the door.
The two rooms over there can't afford to offend, so they can only go to the Zhou family again.
After passing Lu Yin's words, Zhou was surprised: "Whose grandmother is just a subordinate, why does she take Qiao so big, people have not yet come and started to put up a fight, but I am afraid that I will be angry if I go, so I won't go." ”
He Jiaxian listened to her resolute attitude and was about to persuade her, when Zhou heard the children crying in the house and had already run in. He Jiaxian was at the door, in a dilemma.
The whole day was exhausted in this ineffectual running.
When he returned to the room and told Fang Qirui, Fang Qirui said, "You should learn something." ”
He Jiaxian was surprised that Fang Qirui actually agreed with this unreasonable request, so he heard Fang Qirui say: "Aunt Mei is obviously embarrassing you, and I can see it." But she had a point. In the past, there was an old lady in the family, and it didn't matter if you learned it or not. But in the future, if you can't even do these things well, how can you govern the inner house? I am a concubine, and I don't want my children to have a concubine, because I promised not to accept concubines in this life, only you. But what about it, can you guarantee that she is the only one in the future? If the family marries a child, and there are a lot of maids and sisters-in-law, if she can't cure the family, she will be disliked by her mother-in-law and aunt, and I am afraid that those maids and mothers-in-law will not take her seriously. ”
Fang Qirui held her hand: "I am now white, I have no fame, no silver, just wait for the eldest brother and me to finish the family separation, and then set up a single door." Naturally, I have to work hard to earn money for my children, and you have to learn how to take care of the house. We are not the kind of family that feeds the whole family without hunger, although the eldest brother, third brother, third uncle and fifth uncle's family are separated, but they also have to come and go often. If you still can't understand people and communicate with them, I'm afraid that you will really never be able to raise your head again in the future. I know you're smart and you love to read, but you don't bother to put your mind to it. But it's inevitable. ”
He Jiaxian squinted his eyes and smiled at Fang Qirui, and laughed out loud: "I know what you mean." I didn't expect you to be so long-winded as a mother-in-law. ”
Fang Qirui hugged her in his arms and said with a straight face: "It's not that I'm verbose, it's that I'm looking forward to and fearing our future." ”
He knew what he was afraid of. They can do business to support their families, but after a few years, Ran Ran watched her cousins and cousins have no worries about food and clothing, but she has changed from a young lady to an old mother who needs to show up for her livelihood? Brother Kun could have studied in the school, but if it was because they were not motivated and had to get by, they could only recognize a few words at home? Finally, he married an illiterate daughter-in-law?
Thinking of this, He Jiaxian couldn't help but shudder.
In the previous life, it was not so.
He Shuli has a company and money, she should have been a young lady who went to school in a car and did not touch the spring water with her fingers, but in the end, she lived in a dilapidated rental house and endured the anger of her mother, who was a poor couple and mourned.
If she had money, her mother's temper would never be so short-tempered.
She and Fang Qirui broke the kettle in a fit of anger, what about the children's future?
In order not to regret this determination, only by working hard and earning back what was given up can we live up to our original determination and be worthy of the children.
No one says that children from poor families will not be happy, but they are destined to be less happy than children from rich families. After all, the worst part of people is that they don't have to worry about their livelihoods, they don't have to compromise with life, and they don't have to bow to money.
Fang Qirui thought clearly and thought clearly. I'm afraid I thought about it before I planned to give up my fame.
He Jiaxian rested for a while, and went to Zhou's place again in the evening, looking at her whispering to Brother Qian'er, and said with a smile: "I see that Aunt Mei is going to take the Fang family to the official road." ”
Zhou smiled and continued to listen to her: "Actually, I don't want to learn that rule and etiquette, you know, I'm more restrained than you." ”
Zhou thinks about it.
He Jiaxian said: "It's just that when I went home to look at Brother Kun, I thought that if the Fang family really had a creation in the future, there would be a few Jinshi and a master, if there was a success, the champion and the first, it would be completely different." At that time, Brother Kun's daughter-in-law must be a serious lady from a wealthy family, if I am ridiculed for being a mother-in-law who has no rules and cannot be on the stage, it will be a loss. ”
Zhou smiled slightly: "You really think ahead." ”
He Jiaxian smiled and said: "I read an article before, and there is a sentence on it that says very well, the love of parents is far-reaching. This means that if parents truly love their children, they must be far-sighted. ”
Zhou nodded: "That's right. ”
He Jiaxian smiled: "No matter whether my sister-in-law comes or not, I will definitely go." Not for anything else, just for Brother Kun to have a decent mother in the future. ”
After speaking, he went straight to Aunt Mei, saw Lu Yin, and said: "Miss Lu Yan told the family, only to say that everyone agreed, and when Mama arrives tomorrow evening, she will definitely come to see her." ”
Lu Yan was stunned: "Grandma agreed?"
He Jiaxian smiled: "She will come." ”
Fang Baoqian is the lifeblood of the Zhou family, as long as it is for the good of the child, she is willing to do anything. What's more, she has always been reluctant to fall behind, and she will work hard in order to fight for her breath.
Mama arrived at noon on the second day, surnamed Cui, and only brought a cage.
The residence had been cleaned up a long time ago, and Mama Cui was quite satisfied with it, and after a few sips of tea, she asked where the girls were.
Aunt Mei persuaded her to rest for a while, and ordered Lu Yan to tell her mother-in-law to go to each courtyard to spread the word.
The Zhou family really came, as well as He Jiaxian, six-year-old Ran Ran, fifteen-year-old Fang Yucui and ten-year-old Fang Yuying.
Mama Cui only glanced at it, then looked at Fang Yucui and said, "This child belongs to the third master's family." ”
Fang Yucui nodded and stepped forward to greet Mama Cui.
Mama Cui looked at it coldly and said, "Your father is now the official of the seventh grade, you don't have to bend your knees so low when you see outsiders." Among peers, you only need to make a blessing word. ”
Cui Yucui's face was stunned, and Cui Mama continued: "From the front, the family is a merchant, and when you see people, you will be three points lower. Now that you have taken off your business status, you must no longer look down on yourself. ”
After speaking, his eyes looked at Fang Yuying, then at He Jiaxian and Zhou, and finally at Ran Ran: "Little Miss stepped forward and saluted." ”
Then he went up and bowed lightly.
Mama Cui's face turned cold, and she relaxed again in an instant: "I'm still young, so I need to train more in the future." The implication is that he is very dissatisfied.
He Jiaxian is usually taught, but he just stopped at the point, and he didn't feel that he had any big problems with etiquette, but now when he heard Mama Cui say this, he seemed to look down on him, and he felt uncomfortable.
Mama Cui glanced at He Jiaxian and said, "If the second grandmother is reluctant, take the child back." ”
He Jiaxian was stunned for a moment, and Mama Cui said again: "The little lady is naturally smart, if she is raised loosely, I am afraid that the pearl will be dusty in the future." ”
He Jiaxian remembered what Fang Qirui said, and knew that he was different from himself, he was a native of ancient times, and these rules must be engraved in his bones, so that he could be better than her in the future.
Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "The little girl is stubborn, so Mama bothered." ”
Mama Cui saw that she was aware of current affairs, and she didn't do much entanglement, so she told everyone to wait for her in the school.
The school is a newly blocked courtyard, covered with light veil on all sides, so that outsiders cannot enter and exit at will.
After explaining some rules, I asked everyone to come over early the next morning.
Zhou walked on the road and said to He Jiaxian: "Look at it, it's a set, I don't know if there is any real ability." ”
He Jiaxian was very convinced, and made up his mind to let Ran Ran follow along.
She has been in the Fang family for several years, and in the past few years, she has relied on the blue eyes of Master Fang, and collided with the Chen family a few times, barely passing the test. Now under Aunt Mei, she is just relying on Fang Qirui to be her biological son. Just looking at Aunt Mei's slight move yesterday, she hasn't had an easy time all day, and she knows that this person is powerful.
It is not a bad thing to learn more and be more proficient in human affairs.
After studying like this for more than a month, Fang Qirui met a business traveler who passed through Yanzhou City outside, saying that he was going to the northwest, and he came back to discuss with He Jiaxian: "Now that the shops have been redeemed, if the shops are opened again, it will inevitably make people suspicious and crowded, I want to follow to the northwest to see, the second uncle is also over there......"
Although He Jiaxian didn't want Fang Qirui to sleep with the caravan, it was really not a matter to stay at home all day. When they made a comeback, they didn't have any money, but it was just a monthly case in the public school, so they could only nod their heads in agreement and tell him to pay attention to safety.
Men, you still have to focus on your career.
Aunt Mei knew about the strong opposition, thinking that "it can't be on the stage, it's not a system!" It's just that Fang Qirui doesn't pay much attention to her.
On the contrary, Fang Qizong knew about it, invited Fang Qirui over, and said shyly and ashamedly: "Second brother, my body is dragging you down." If it weren't for that, you wouldn't have avoided us......"
Fang Qirui knew that although this eldest brother had been sick in bed for a long time, he had always seen more clearly than anyone else, and knew that his original intention was to feel embarrassed to stay in Fang Mansion, so he nodded and did not deny: "When I go out this time and can stand on my own, the eldest brother will answer me, write a letter of separation, and go to the yamen to have a notarization." ”
When handing over the property to Fang Qizong, he had mentioned it, but Fang Qizong did not agree.
But it is really uncomfortable to be a parasite in the Fang family with such an unknown identity.
Fang Qizong shook his head: "As long as you and your younger siblings can live well, there is no reason for you to be an elder brother." As he spoke, he sighed again: "Speaking of which, if it weren't for your identity as a concubine......"
