Volume 1, Chapter 7: Mohs
The grandfather and grandson were talking, and the maid outside reported that the eldest lady was here. Yue Yao was keenly aware of the coldness in the old lady's eyes. At the moment, I was surprised in my heart, could it be that the old lady and the eldest lady were not in harmony.
The curtain opened, and Mohs walked in from the outside.
Wen Wan looked at the eldest lady Mo who entered the door. Mo Shi wore a lotus-colored dress, combed a neat bun, and inserted a hairpin inlaid with beeswax droplets in his sideburns, with fair skin, a slightly plump body, a round face, kind eyebrows, and a gentle complexion, giving people a very cordial feeling.
Yue Yao looked at Mo in front of her. It seems that just now she saw Mo Shi standing tall, wearing a red dress that had passed her birthday. In a blink of an eye, not only is he so young, but he is also so low in front of his grandmother.
The eldest lady entered the house and said respectfully, "Greetings to my mother, my mother is better today." Her demeanor and movements all reveal her worries, and people can't find the slightest mistake.
Mo Shi saw the old lady looking at Yue Yao, and at this time Yue Yao was looking at himself. The look in his eyes was complicated and difficult to discern. Mo Shi was also strange in his heart, and said softly at the moment: "Yueyao, what's wrong with you?" "Well, how can you look at her like that.
Only then did Yue Yao come to her senses and hurriedly lowered her head to adjust her mood. She didn't dare to look at Mo Shi directly, she was afraid that she would look at Mo Shi with hateful eyes. But at this age, where does the hatred come from. There is hatred in their eyes, which is bound to arouse their suspicion and cause unnecessary trouble. She had seen people who were burning nonsense = one = book = reading = novel xstxt to death.
Mo Shi was very suspicious when he saw that Yue Yao was so abnormal today. But Yueyao was sitting next to the old lady. She didn't bother to ask too much.
The old lady saw Yueyao's performance just now. There was a suspicion in my heart, but my face was not obvious: "Grandma will come in a few days, you clean up the yard." This matter is related to the girl of the family, and it has to be taken to heart. "If the girl is not properly educated, it will affect the reputation of the Lian family.
Yueying is already twelve years old and can't be delayed. ”
Seeing Mo Shi's low eyebrows, Yue Yao couldn't help but look at her grandmother again. Lian Yuebing had always said how her grandmother was harsh on Mo's before. also said that his grandmother supported Aunt Chen to compete with the Mo family, and there was no distinction between concubines and concubines. Until his death, the affairs of the house were firmly held in the palm of his hand by his grandfather. Because of this, Aunt Chen did not add to Mo's blockage. However, her grandmother passed away, and after three years of filial piety, Aunt Chen became pregnant, but the end was a miscarriage and death.
Yueyao used to listen to Lian Yuebing's words and felt that her grandmother was very excessive. Raise a concubine to suppress the arrogance of the wife. There is no difference between the two generations. Now it seems that this is not the case.
Mo Shi looked at Yueyao's bad state, and asked with a kind face, "Yueyao, what's wrong with you?" Is it not feeling well? ”
Hearing this word, the old lady's brows furrowed again.
Yueyao said respectfully: "Thank you aunt for your concern, my health has improved a lot......"
Mo stepped forward to shake Yueyao's hands to express his intimacy. But Yueyao reflexively took two steps back. Not only that, but the fear and fear in my heart suddenly appeared. In the eyes of others, Mo Shi is like a flood beast.
Yueyao also knew that this situation was bad, but this was the truest reaction in her heart. In her mind, Mohs is a poisonous scorpion, more poisonous than a poisonous scorpion. No matter how rational she was, she couldn't restrain the fear in her heart.
A hint of suspicion flashed in the old lady's eyes. What did Mo do to Yue Yao to make Yue Yao so afraid of Mo Shi? The old lady is old and her body is clear. So now I turn a blind eye to the affairs of the inner court. But now, it seems that there are many things she doesn't know about the inner courtyard. Ahem, it's always reassuring.
Mo's hands were empty, and he was stunned. Although Yueyao didn't treat herself like a mother in the past, she had Gu's mother to help say good things about her in front of Yueyao, and Yueyao was very affectionate to her. It's so alienated now. But it was only an instant, Mo Shi restrained his emotions and said with a smile: "What's wrong with your kid?" Why is it so alienated from my aunt. ”
Yue Yao also regained her composure at this moment, she didn't want to be suspected of evil. But the performance just now is suspicious enough, and there must be no more problems. Otherwise, it will inevitably make people suspicious. But if he wants to pretend to be intimate with Mo, she can't do it. Stood there stiff at the moment.
Seeing Yueyao's attitude, the old lady turned her mind and said to Mo Shi: "You go down!" "She had to ask, what was wrong with this kid all of a sudden?
Mo Shi listened to the old lady's words, and his heart suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable. Although I had the heart to ask Yueyao what was going on. But the old lady was above, and she didn't ask any more questions in her heart. In the backyard, no one dared to disobey the old lady's words. At the moment, he could only lead the maid and go out.
The old lady asked Yueyao strangely: "Three girls, what happened just now?" "What's going on with this kid's face just now, how could he be frightened by Mo's.
Yue Yao lowered her head and didn't say a word. Sometimes, one lie needed ten lies to make up, and she was not taught to lie. Not to mention lying to her grandmother who loved her. Yueyao couldn't do it.
The old lady looked at Yueyao's appearance, but sighed slightly. She would rather Yueyao tell her than that this child would have kept everything in her heart.
Yue Yao accompanied the old lady and said two more words: "Grandmother, I'll go back and copy the scriptures." She didn't want to face the old lady's doubts.
After the old lady waited for Yueyao to leave, she ordered: "This child's attitude towards the eldest daughter-in-law is very strange. Go and ask the people in Lanxi Garden, what has happened to this child in the past few days? ”
When Yueyao walked out the door, the rain had stopped. In the summer after the rain, the air is fresh and cool, which makes people feel comfortable all over the body.
After Yueyao returned to Lanxi Courtyard, she fell into a stupor.
Twilight and the buds didn't dare to disturb her. Ordered the maiden to eat at noon. Yueyao's meals in the past were all specially cooked. Yueyao is used to staying in Jiangnan, but she is still used to the exquisite side dishes in Jiangnan, and she is not used to the dishes in the capital. For this reason, the old lady specially instructed her to take special care of her daily life and diet.
Yue Yao is now unwilling to do this kind of thing that has no benefits and only a bad reputation: "Don't make another lunch meal." I will eat whatever everyone eats. "She's not so delicate now, after so many years, she's used to the taste of the capital, she's fine.
Twilight and Flower Bud glanced at each other: "Girl, how can this be done?" Are you used to eating? "I can't skip a meal!
Yueyao said with a faint face: "You have to get used to it." "One day or two days, you can't always be like this!
Twilight gets the eye of the flower bud and goes out to ask the fine cuckoo to talk to the kitchen man. Hua Bud looked at her girl and muttered in her heart.
Yue Yao ignored everyone's doubts, and went to the small Buddha hall to copy the scriptures again. Change slowly, little by little. As long as the general direction is correct, small problems are fine.
When Yueyao copied the scriptures, no one could go in. Even the maid who grinds the ink doesn't need it, everything is done by Yue Yao herself.
At lunch, he said worriedly: "Girl, the eldest lady is the girl's aunt and the lady in charge, what is wrong with the girl today, how can she ...... right?"
Yueyao's face was very cold: "I do things in a measured way, and I don't need you to teach me." When Yue Yao said this, there was no anger, no disgust, only calm. But this calmness means rustiness. Strangeness is more terrible than disgust and anger.
Gu's mother's face changed greatly, why did the girl lose her face so much. If last night was a nightmare, now reprimanded her when she was conscious. Several maids around her lowered their heads, and Gu's mother wanted to speak again, but Yueyao got up and went back to the room.
Go back to the house and look at the contents of the house. Yue Yao looked at the ink painting hanging on the wall, and her thoughts drifted back to her previous life for some reason. In her previous life, even Mr. Wen said that she had a talent for painting. All her thoughts are spent on calligraphy and painting, and some of her free time is also on the six arts. The daughter's female celebrity, cooking, housekeeper and the like are all zero.
Mo deliberately asked people to guide her to regard silver money as dung, and naturally she would not bother much about it. So she is a mess in terms of female celebrity cooking. So that when she later entered the nunnery, she could not sew clothes. Later, I followed the people of the nunnery to learn hard for a few years, and the craft seemed to be the same.
With the experience of her previous life, Yue Yao knew very well that things such as qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs were all useless things. Poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can't live, and living a life is about firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. What the daughter's family has to learn is the skills of the female red cooking housekeeper. This is the foundation of establishing a foothold in the world.
In her previous life, she used these to gain the reputation of a talented woman. But the reputation of a talented woman is of no practical use except to bring her the jealousy and hatred of others. In this life, she doesn't want to suffer the losses of the previous life. What a woman should learn, she will learn well.
Yueyao thought for a while and shook her head again, painting and calligraphy can't be lost. Maybe you will still have to rely on these two skills to live in the future.
Twilight and Bud nodded and shook their heads when they saw the girl, and they looked at each other, but they didn't say anything. It is better for a girl to be willing to think about things than to copy the scriptures every day. Every time they watched the girl copy the scriptures desperately, and they didn't stop at all, they were terrified.
The two of them were pondering.
Yue Yao had already recovered from her contemplation, remembered what had just happened and looked at the two maids: "Who told Mother Gu what happened just now?" "If it weren't for what these two maids said, Mother Gu wouldn't have gotten the news so quickly. In fact, Yueyao guessed that it must have been said by Duqiu. Hua Bud will not obey Mother Gu's orders.
Twilight stood up: "Girl, Mother Gu asked me, and I said it." ”
Yueyao glanced at Twilight: "In the future, without my consent." You don't have to answer anyone's questions. "Twilight is a solid-eyed. If she has orders, she will carry them out to the end. She told Twilight not to say it now, and Twilight wouldn't say it.
Twilight was stunned for a moment, and finally was pinched by the flower bud and said, "Yes, girl." ”
When Twilight came out, she asked Hua Bud, "What's wrong with the girl?" The girl's words were clearly aimed at Gu's mother. Why did the girl suddenly dislike Mother Gu so much.
Hua Bud shook her head: "Whatever the girl says, you can do." "Flower buds are actually sometimes very helpless with the sincerity of late autumn. If you are too honest, you are actually stupid.
