Volume 1, Chapter 69: Rejoice
Early in the morning of the second day, Yue Yao dressed Zheng Ge'er in a silver-white Hangzhou silk robe made by herself, with a dark belt around her waist, and Yue Yao also combed Tingzheng's hair herself.
Yue Yao looked at Ting Zheng and smiled. Now Brother Zheng is no longer as thin as she saw for the first time, after more than three months of careful training, Brother Zheng'er's whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes. The current brother Zheng'er is as beautiful as a jade doll, and he has the vitality of a child, although he is worried that Tingzheng's appearance will be in trouble in the future, but now anyone who sees such a cute and beautiful doll will like it, Yueyao believes that grandmother is no exception.
Ting Zheng followed Yueyao to greet the old lady.
Ting Zheng began to feel a little uncomfortable, but under Yueyao's smiling encouragement, he quickly let go, and his voice couldn't help but be louder: "Grandson asks grandmother for peace." ”
The old lady watched Ting Zheng advance and retreat with a generous demeanor, and she had the demeanor that a family should have, and she was very happy at the moment. He beckoned to Tingzheng and said, "Come, come to grandmother." This is the first time the old lady saw Tingzheng, it is simply a world of difference.
Tingzheng was bold, mainly thanks to Li Han. Li Han is the youngest child in the family, and he has been pampered by his parents and brother since he was a child, and he is very bold. Although Li Guoxun was very strict with him, he was only limited to his studies, and Li Guoxun did not control him in life. In the past, Li Han was worried about being checked by his father, but at other times Li Han lived a free life, which can be said to be the happiness of the Li family? One? Root? Read? novel.ybdu.fruit. The so-called those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, Ting Zheng has been with Li Han for a long time, and no matter how boring he is, he will be infected.
Ting Zheng smiled lightly, this smile was like the golden boy sitting in front of Guanyin, dazzling the old lady's eyes. The old lady hugged Ting Zhengle and said, "Well, Brother Zheng'er has grown up." Although this child said that his qualifications were not successful, he was making progress bit by bit, and he still deserved to be commended.
The old lady glanced at Yue Yao with great satisfaction, Ting Zheng can have such a good Yue Yao now, and it is not in vain that Yue Yao has worked hard and traveled during this time.
Yue Yao seemed to understand what the old lady meant, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, this is what Yue Yao should do." "Brother Zheng'er is fine, and it's a good thing for her.
Yue Yao was talking to the old lady, pretending to glance at Mother Zheng inadvertently, and saw Mother Zheng standing on one side as usual. I secretly thought that I was really calm enough, and then turned my head.
Yueying came in with the old lady's ginseng tea, looked at Ting Zheng who was held in the arms of the old lady, and said with a smile: "Third sister, I came here with Tingzheng." ”
Yue Yao glanced at Ting Zheng, who hurriedly stood up and saluted Yue Ying: "Hello, big sister." "Ting Zheng has learned the rules of the Li Mansion more and more.
Yueying looked at Ting Zheng, who seemed to have changed into a person in just a few months, and had mixed feelings in her heart, if Ting Chao could also become well-behaved and sensible, it would be great.
Yueyao accompanied the old lady to breakfast, and the old lady looked at the sky: "Three girls, the time is about the same, you should go to the meditation garden." ”
Yue Yao smiled and nodded: "Eldest sister, let's go to the meditation garden together." "Yueying didn't take the initiative to mention it, so she took the initiative to mention it.
The old lady nodded towards Yueyao, expressing her appreciation, smiling at Yueying but sighing inside, the big girl was taught by Aunt Chen to be shallow, and during this time the face was much better, but it was difficult to correct inside.
Yueyao asked Mother Deng to lead Tingzheng back to Lanxi Courtyard, and she went to Jingsi Garden with Yueying. It's rare to go the same way, but neither of them wants to speak first.
Yue Yao heard the crisp call of the bird, looked up and saw a bird with gray feathers, she didn't recognize what kind of bird it was, and said to herself, "What kind of bird is this?" ”
Hua Bud listened to Yueyao's words and said with a smile: "Girl, this is a sparrow." ”
Yueyao looked with great interest at the sparrow on the branches, which had a darker chestnut head and neck; The beak is black, the mouth is short and strong, slightly curved downward, conical, and there are two pale transverse spots on the outer margin, and the tarsal plantar is light brown; The back is lighter in chestnut with black stripes; a large black spot on the left and right sides of the cheeks, and two white bands on the shoulder feathers; The tail is small forked and light brown. Yue Yao silently recited the characteristics of this bird in her heart: "Are you sure this is a sparrow?" ”
Hua Bud nodded: "Girl, sparrows like to eat grain, we often chase them, it won't be wrong." "Before the harvest season, these birds and birds come to steal food, and they are the most annoying.
Yueyao became interested: "When I have free time, I will also go to Zhuangzi to have a look." She also wants to experience this kind of civilian life more, so that she can create more paintings full of life, but these are Yueyao's temporary thoughts and have not yet been put into action.
Hua Bud said with a smile: "As long as the girl is interested, you can go to Zhuangzi for next year's summer harvest." "Bud thinks it's not a big deal.
Yue Yao smiled: "Okay." ”
Yueying stood next to her and saw Yueyao and the maid talking and laughing, but she didn't say a word to herself, and her face changed slightly. However, it's not a problem to be frozen like this all the time. Thinking about going out to Zheng's mother's point, Yueying took the initiative to say: "Third sister, are you still angry about my events that day?" ”
Yue Yao said with a smile: "The eldest sister also wants to be good to Brother Chao, how can I blame it." It's just that I really can't do anything about it. She didn't want to upset her grandmother in the upper room, but if Yueying didn't want to talk to her more after she came out, she naturally wouldn't say more to annoy people. Aunt Chen's grounding, Yueyao thought that she had nothing to do with her.
Although Yueyao didn't resent or care, she had already decided to keep her distance from someone like Aunt Chen, and she wouldn't get close to Yueying.
Yueying listened to Yueyao's words, and her heart was full of unhappiness. But thinking of Zheng's mother's suggestion, Yueying still said: "Third sister, I know that I shouldn't have mentioned those things that made you embarrassed that day, and my aunt shouldn't force you." Third sister, I apologize to you here. "She hadn't once made her grandmother smile in her room; But every time Yueyao came, her grandmother smiled, which made her very jealous.
Yueyao glanced at Yueying: "Eldest sister, I have forgotten it a long time ago, eldest sister doesn't have to take it to heart anymore." Yueyao thinks that Yueying is just too upright, and always thinks that she is the eldest sister, and the people below should respect her. It's a pity that Yueying didn't understand a little, if she was the eldest daughter, the younger brothers and sisters below would naturally respect her, but unfortunately she couldn't be reincarnated in Mo's belly. The identity of the concubine is destined to be even the eldest sister, and she can't get the heartfelt respect of the younger sister below, this is the difference between the concubine and the concubine. Obviously, Yueying hasn't figured it out yet, but after being with her grandmother for so long, she has still grown, and no matter what, she is still doing well on the surface.
Yueying breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that the third sister doesn't blame me." ”
Yue Yao put those thoughts in her heart behind for the time being, and said with a smile: "What did the big sister say?" I'm so stingy. Eldest sister, speaking of which, I still envy you and Brother Chao. ”
Yueying died of sorrow during this time, her aunt was grounded, and her younger brother was locked in the yard to recuperate after being used in the family law. Now when I heard Yueyao say that she envied her, she was surprised: "What does the third sister envy me?" "Yueyao is a concubine with good qualifications, she used to be liked by her grandmother, but now she is liked by her grandmother and husband, Yueying doesn't know what she has to envy Yueyao.
Yue Yao said with a smile: "I envy that the eldest sister has an aunt who is dedicated to thinking about you and Brother Chao." "The son wants to kiss but does not raise, this is the greatest sorrow in the world.
Yueying looked at Yueyao's gloomy expression, and the unhappiness in her heart disappeared. Yes, no matter how smart the third sister is, she is also an orphan girl without a father and mother, and she is much stronger than her.
After this matter was put down, Yueying thought that the Tingzheng she had seen in the upper room just now was similar to the two of them she had seen before, and she wanted to learn from it: "Third sister, can you tell me how you taught Brother Zheng well?" ”
Yue Yao really wanted to wipe her forehead about this, but how did she go around and come back: "It's nothing special, that is, teach him to read and write, and then let him practice words." Fortunately, Brother Zheng is very willing to listen to me. It's all the credit of Mr. Zheng that Brother Zheng has become so good now, if I still teach, Brother Zheng will definitely not become so good. "It's mostly about the environment. In Lian Mansion, Brother Zheng is reluctant to go out of the yard, let alone meet other people in Lian Mansion. In addition to attending classes in the Li Mansion, Li Han took his brother to run around the Li Mansion at other times. Li Guoxun also took the two of them out several times, and the boy's courage was not born to fight, but through experience.
Yueying's face turned gloomy when she heard this, if Ting Chao could listen to her, she wouldn't need to worry so much: "Third sister, you know about Ting Chao, if it weren't for this, my aunt wouldn't have lost her sense of proportion." Third sister, I know how knowledgeable you are, tell me if there is any way to correct these problems in Brother Chao'er. Yueying was stimulated by her brother's current appearance, and she also hoped that her younger brother could learn well.
Yueyao won't take care of the big house's. Yue Yao shook her head regretfully: "I'm sorry, big sister, I don't know how to teach children." ”
Hao's mother specially mentioned this matter to Yueyao before, saying that her grandmother originally took Tingchao with her to raise her, but because Tingchao had a high fever a few days after she went to her grandmother's side, and then Tingchao's high fever subsided, and her grandmother asked Aunt Chen to take Tingchao back and raise her by herself.
Yue Yao didn't know what the reason was for her grandmother to let Aunt Chen raise Ting Chao by herself, but obviously if Ting Chao was raised by her grandmother, it would definitely not be like this.
Yueying glanced at Yueyao when she heard this, thinking about her aunt's words, it seemed that the third sister was not really helpless, but she was unwilling to help.
Yue Yao saw Yue Ying's dissatisfied eyes, but she sighed in her heart. In my previous life, I had very little contact with Yueying, and I really didn't see that Yueying was so cautious because of my simple mind. She had already explained it very clearly, and even did not hesitate to show weakness, but she didn't expect Yueying to still think that she was not dedicated, and she didn't want to think about how she could do her best for them if she was still an orphan girl without a father or mother.
Qiao Lan saw Yueyao's depressed expression, and a strong dissatisfaction surged in her heart. It's funny that the eldest girl keeps making these excessive demands, why don't you want to think about why the girl should be planning for them. Young Master Tingzheng is the girl's younger brother, and no one worries about him except the girl, so the girl can't help but go to great lengths to plan for Young Master Tingzheng. But the third young master has a father and a mother, and he also asked the girl to help with the plan. If you don't help, you actually feel resentful, what kind of thing is this? Qiao Lan made a decision in her heart, she must tell the old lady about this matter.
Yue Yao originally wanted to say that in fact, the best way was to ask the eldest uncle to invite a stern gentleman to his home to teach Ting Chao. But looking at Yueying's resentful expression, these words were swallowed back. There is a kind of person in the world, you have helped her countless times and she takes it for granted, as long as you don't help her once, she is full of complaints. Now it seems that Aunt Chen and Yueying are this kind of people, this kind of person must stay away, if they are entangled in trouble.
Qiao Lan took advantage of Yueyao's class time to go to the upper room. told the old lady that the eldest girl begged Yueyao twice.
The old lady only knew that Aunt Chen begged Yueyao, but she didn't know that Yueying also begged Yueyao, and she begged twice. The old lady shook her head cautiously: "I have spent so much effort, but I still can't break it!" "Yue Yao and Brother Chao are the same age, let Yue Yao go to help Ting Chao plan, isn't this a joke? But Yueying actually listened to Aunt Chen's words and begged Yueyao, what Aunt said she would do, she didn't think about it, she didn't have her own ideas.
Mother Zheng comforted on the side: "Don't worry, old lady. The eldest girl also watched Young Master Tingzheng get better and better, so she couldn't help but ask the third girl. Old lady, the eldest girl also wants to be good for Young Master Tingchao. ”
The old lady didn't say anything, she also wanted her grandson to be good, but Brother Zheng and Brother Chao were different. Brother Zheng is a little stupid, but he is well-behaved, obedient and diligent and studious, so he is naturally liked by others. But Ting Chao has been spoiled by Aunt Chen, if it can really be changed, it will be changed as early as after the boss implements the first family law, where do you have to wait until today.
Mother Zheng also knows this reason, but she still has to persuade: "Old lady, the eldest girl is much better than the one who came just now, as long as the eldest girl is given more time, it will definitely get better and better." "Although the eldest girl is not as good as the third girl, she can say that she can please the old lady, but the eldest girl also tries her best to take care of the old lady and please the old lady.
Thinking that Aunt Chen was going to force Yueyao to help, the old lady still shook her head.
Mother Zheng understood what the old lady meant by shaking her head, and she felt sorry for the eldest girl. The big girl worked really hard during this time.
Yueyao got out of school in the afternoon, and on the way back, she asked Mother Deng a little strangely: "With Aunt Chen's temperament, how can she keep a pair of children?" "My uncle's backyard has never been quiet, and she has vaguely heard that several aunts have died. Aunt Chen is still against Mo's, and it is impossible for Mo's not to attack Aunt Chen.
Mother Deng didn't want to say these words: "When Aunt Chen was young, she was very smart and liked by the old lady, and for this reason, the old lady gave her to the eldest lady. It was also the old lady's care that allowed her to have a pair of children and let them grow up safely. ”
Yueyao wondered: "If Aunt Chen is not smart, she will not be favored by her grandmother." But why is this the way it is now? "It's really puzzling.
Deng's mother didn't know about it either.
Yueyao returned to the courtyard and asked Hao's mother this question again. Hao's mother has been in the mansion for so many years, she should know a little bit of the inside story.
Hao's mother was surprised why the girl asked these things: "In fact, there were two capable maids by the old lady's side, and the other maid that the old lady liked; But then the maid had an accident, and the old lady gave Aunt Chen to the eldest master. ”
Yue Yao smiled: "Mom, tell me about the events of the year in detail." Mom rest assured, this matter will not pass the ears of the third person. ”
Hao's mother nodded and told Yueyao what she knew.
Aunt Chen was the old lady's eldest maid back then, and Aunt Chen was very smart, of course, if she was not smart, she would not let the old lady value her. It's just that after Aunt Chen knew that the old lady intended to put a maid to the eldest master, she calculated another maid in order to get on top.
Hao's mother said: "Girl, Aunt Chen and that maid are Jinlan sisters. The reason why Hao's mother said it was because she wanted Yueyao to know that Aunt Chen, a person who could even calculate her Jinlan sisters for the sake of her superiority, was absolutely not credible, let alone worthy of help.
Yueyao thought thoughtfully: "Does grandmother know about this?" ”
Hao's mother nodded: "The old lady knows, so she married that maid outside, and that maid is doing well now." ”
The old lady began to like Aunt Chen, because the other maid was honest and honest, and she would definitely not be able to fight Mo's. The old lady was clear about Aunt Chen's behavior, but this was exactly what she wanted. Aunt Chen arrived at the big room and relied on the old lady's momentum to dig a pit for the Mo family.
Hao's mother didn't say anything underground. Mo's most dissatisfied is the old lady's partiality, and the one he hates the most must be Aunt Chen.
After hearing these words, Yue Yao was puzzled: "Since Aunt Chen is so smart, why did she find me for Ting Chao?" What about obvious inconsistencies? Yueyao couldn't help but wonder if Aunt Chen was so dedicated to her son that she lost her coolness and was hot-headed to find her. Obviously, this is something that only a brain-pumping person would believe.
Hao's mother smiled: "Girl's question is good. She thought the girl knew, but now she still doesn't understand Aunt Chen's intentions.
Yue Yao thought about it seriously but still didn't figure it out: "Mom, I don't understand why Aunt Chen asked me even though she knew it was impossible." "As long as anyone with a brain knows that this will not work.
Hao's mother sneered: "Aunt Chen is smart, but she always likes to be smart." She deliberately begged for the girl, so that the old lady and the eldest man could see. Aunt Chen hopes that the old lady and the eldest master will be concerned about the affairs of the third young master. In essence, Aunt Chen is indeed for the good of the third young master. Hao's mother guessed that it was basically Aunt Chen's wing. Aunt Chen is not unintelligent, but she has just gotten into a dead end. For the sake of her son, Aunt Chen is already irrational.
Yueyao couldn't understand it anymore: "Beg me, what does it have to do with letting grandmother fall in love with the eldest uncle?" "Yue Yao really can't understand it, and she really can't guess it because of her shallow knowledge.
Hao's mother shook her head and said, "Aunt Chen is doing this in the hope that the old lady and the old man will know that Young Master Tingzheng has become so good, that is, there is a good gentleman." As long as you invite a good gentleman, the third young master will be better than the young master Tingzheng. ”
Yue Yao sighed: "At that time, Ting Zheng hadn't come back yet?" ”
Hao's mother smiled lightly: "Now that Young Master Tingzheng is back, he has become so good." Girl, everyone in the mansion knows that Tingzheng Yao is not taught by Mr. ”
Yueyao looked at Hao's mother speechlessly: "Aunt Chen is making so many troubles, just to let grandmother and eldest uncle invite Mr. for Tingchao?" Can't you just say it? ”
Hao's mother shook her head: "The old lady and the eldest master will not invite the husband to the mansion just for a concubine. ”
Yueyao immediately understood: "Aunt Chen pulled me into the water, in fact, to make my grandmother and uncle pay attention to this matter. "Shame on niece, how can the eldest uncle lose this face. But in the same way, such a big change in Ting Zheng also penetrated into the heart of the eldest uncle, letting the eldest uncle know that Ting Chao was not hopeless, but he didn't find the right gentleman.
Yueyao was speechless, this twist was so headache-inducing. And can the eldest uncle pay attention to Aunt Chen's hard work? If you're right, you'll be the first to get angry.
Hao's mother nodded.
Yue Yao shook her head: "The idea is very bad, but this piece of heart for Ting Chao is rare." "For the sake of my son, I really have to be open-minded, but only God knows how effective it is.
Hao's mother frowned, and she didn't say anything more.
