Chapter 113: Show Skills

When Yueyao was packing up her things at night, she looked at the four boxes of jewelry given by the old lady, and lowered her head and pondered for a while. Even if the gem points to the emerald head, the size is too large and the target is too big. As for those jade ornaments, they can be taken away, but they are really not at ease in the mansion. Yue Yao wasn't really worried that the Mo clan would send someone to steal it. Once this happened, Mo really had no face.

This is actually Yue Yao's fault as a scholar, even if she is reborn in another life, she still thinks that things such as gold, silver and jewelry are too tacky, and jade is noble and noble, which causes Yue Yao to feel that this gem is gone, and she can't give up these rare jade ornaments. It's just that Yueyao is very rational now, and she won't be as reluctant to contact as before because she doesn't like it, and she will leave it alone.

Yue Yao searched in her room for a long time before she found a square box with colorful treasures and flowers, and then put the jade ornament in it.

After Yueyao let Hua Bud out, she took out the box her father gave her from the cabinet and took a stack of silver tickets from it at random. Things can't be put in one place, once something happens in one place, it's all gone, and she has to learn from the cunning rabbit.

Yue Yao suddenly laughed after doing this, laughing and laughing, tears falling from her eyes. What was she doing, she really didn't know what she was doing. How did she get to this field? When will such days end?

Seeing that Yueyao didn't move for a long time, Hua Bud shouted outside, "Girl, girl." ”

Yueyao came back from her grief, wiped away her tears, put everything away, and returned to her original state to let Hua Bud and Qiaolan in.

Seeing that it was almost cleaned up, Yue Yao went to the main room, and if she wanted to go to Mafu, she would definitely have to report to Mo's family.

After the old lady passed away, the backyard was naturally dominated by the Mo family, and after the Mo family established a new rule, the province did not fall every morning and dusk, so when Yueyao came over, it was a room full of people.

Mo Shi looked at Yue Yao, who was wearing a crescent moon white dress, with a smile on his face and a sneer in his heart, he came to the door as a guest in such a filial piety dress, and he didn't know how to respond to people who were happy.

Speaking of which, Mo really felt aggrieved, and he couldn't beat or scold Yueyao, Yueyao always choked with her, and she had to coax her.

After Yue Yao said something to Mo Shi, she went directly to the front yard to find Ting Zheng. Everyone is envious and jealous of Yueyao, is there a wood that is too arrogant?

Yueyao wanted to go to Li's house first and then to her uncle's house, but after thinking about it, she still didn't go. The uncle doesn't like the Li family, she has already fallen out with the Mo family, so she no longer provokes the uncle's eyes.

Yueyao didn't bring Hao's mother when she went out, but brought two rings of flower buds and Qiaolan. Qiao Lan got into the carriage and whispered to the girl, "Girl, I think the coachman's eyes are particularly scary. "Those eyes are scary to look at.

Yue Yao chuckled, "What are you afraid of?" What else would he dare to do to me? Halfway through the road, Yueyao asked Qiaolan to take out the gift box, and took out the small box in the gift box in front of the flower buds and Qiaolan, with a shiny copper lock on it.

Qiao Lan didn't say anything, although he was a maid, but after being by the old lady's side for so many years, she knew how many things the old lady had in her hands. This will have already guessed that the contents of this box should be the jewelry given to the girl by the old lady, and the jewelry that can be stored outside by the girl must be superb.

Qiao Lan knew that the girl did not mean to test her by doing this in front of her, but Qiao Lan had no second heart and was not afraid of Yueyao's test.

Hua Bud Xiaosheng said: "Girl, do you plan to hand over these things to the old master for safekeeping?" ”

Yueyao didn't answer the bud. Whether she gave it to her uncle or her cousin for the time being, she would eventually lock it in the safe of the bank. People will die of old age, not to mention how many years there will be in the future, but before she died in her last life, Huitong Money was still good.

Qiao Lan looked at Yueyao's white clothes and said, "Girl, this dress ......"

With a smile, Hua Bud took out an aqua blue gown from the carriage, put it on, and then changed the jewelry on her body, and the feeling was completely changed.

Zhuang Ruolan smiled and picked up Yueyao in the courtyard.

Yue Yao looked at Ruolan's slightly exposed belly, and said with some embarrassment: "Cousin-in-law, you just wait in the house, you don't have to come out." ”

Ruolan smiled and said: "It's okay, it's been more than four months, and the doctor told her mother that pregnant people should go around outside, and it's not good for your health to always sit in the room." ”

Yue Yao smiled and followed Ruolan into the room.

As soon as she entered the room, Yue Yao bowed deeply to Ruolan and said, "Thank you cousin-in-law for this incident, Yue Yao remembers it in her heart." She originally wanted to trouble her uncle, but she didn't expect to trouble her cousin in the end. This time, she owes her cousin a big favor. It's easy to pay off debts, but what is the most troublesome thing to owe favors.

Ruolan smiled and let Caiyun help Yueyao up, and said, "How can such a trivial matter be worthy of my cousin." "It's hard for others, but it's really a small thing for her.

Yueyao won't really take it to heart because Zhuang Ruolan said trivial things, people helping you once or twice can say that they are kind enough to help you, but others can't help you endlessly, and said: "It's a small thing for my cousin, but it's a big thing for me." Thank you very much for this incident, sister-in-law. ”

Ruolan smiled and shook her head: "The people in the mansion of Zhaohua Temple rarely go to live, even if my grandmother goes to Zhaohua Temple to incense, she will not live there." Yueyao, that house is very simple, you have to be prepared to endure hardships if you go there. "The Duchess of the Kingdom went to Zhaohua Temple to offer incense, naturally the temple specially prepared a high-standard wing room for noble ladies, and the rented courtyard outside was vacant for the purpose of weighing the faΓ§ade and the scene. Going to the mountain to eat fasting and reciting the Buddha is for most of the people in the Guogong Mansion to enjoy the habitual Lord, which is equivalent to suffering, and who will not run here. These houses will only be lived in for a few days when there is a funeral practice in the national government.

Yue Yao took out the prepared gift and said, "Cousin-in-law, I know that you are pregnant, and there is nothing to give, here are a few clothes I made." The craftsmanship is not good, I hope my cousin-in-law will not dislike it. "Yueyao makes small clothes. The color is not beautiful, but the soft satin is used, and the child's skin is delicate, and the soft satin is the best.

Ruolan smiled and let people put it in her hand, looking at these neat, flat and bright, clear silk roads, and the most important thing is that the needles are facing outward, the child's skin is delicate, and the needlework on the outside can avoid grinding the child's skin.

Ruolan smiled and said, "Yueyao, I like it very much, and I believe the baby likes it too." ”

Yue Yao smiled shyly when she heard this.

Ruolan smiled and said: "You can embroider so well at the age of nine, and you can't compare to the best embroiderer in the New Year." "Ruolan is telling the truth, in another three or five years, Yueyao's embroidery will definitely be superior, but the premise is that Yueyao is embroidering every day.

Yahuan brought tea up, and what was served to Yueyao was a high-quality red robe. Yue Yao looked at the orange and bright tea from the teacup, picked it up and smelled it, a faint aroma spread to the tip of her nose, took a small sip, the entrance was dry and smooth, and after tasting a few sips, Yue Yao put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Let my cousin break the bill." "This is a high-grade red robe, and there is no market for it.

Although Yue Yao didn't say how good the big red robe was, this expression had already been expressed. Ruolan's favorite drink is the big red robe, the top red robe in her hand is still given by her grandmother, only three taels, and now she can't drink tea when she is pregnant, and said: "If my sister likes it, take two or two back." She was also happy to meet a fellow enthusiast.

Yue Yao shook her head and said: "A gentleman doesn't take people's favor, and besides, I don't drink tea on weekdays, so don't waste this kind of good thing." ”

Ruolan smiled, this child really has a delicate heart, she didn't say that she likes the big red robe, but Yue Yao found out from her expression, and asked, "What does that sister drink on weekdays?" ”

Yueyao replied, "Boiled water." ”

Caiyun and Caiyi glanced at each other, can't! How do people who drink boiled water every day know how to taste tea? The two of them are still very knowledgeable when they follow Ruolan, and Yueyao is definitely a master of tea tasting with a set of actions just now.

The two Yahuan guesses are good, Yueyao not only tastes first-class tea, but also has a very high water level for making tea, but most of them are things in the previous life, she has never done such a thing in this life, and it is okay to taste tea, but not to make tea.

Seeing this, Ruolan naturally chatted with Yueyao about the Tea Sutra. Ruolan's biggest hobby is the tea ceremony, and after chatting with Yueyao for a while, she found that Yueyao is very proficient in tea, and she is not inferior to her in any way.

Yue Yao smiled at Yu Ruolan's question and said: "When I was in Jiangnan, I often listened to my father talk to his friends about tea tasting, and Mr. Wen is also a master of tea ceremony, so over time I will know a thing or two.

Ruolan smiled and said, "Sister's words make me sweat!" "Such a person is simply going against the sky, learning everything quickly, learning everything well. Junlan touched her stomach, it would be nice if the child was as smart and clever as Yueyao.

Yueyao and Ruolan had a good conversation, and Caiyi came over and said, "Young lady, the second aunt and grandmother are here with the cousin." ”

Yue Yao looked at Caiyi's eyebrows flashing impatiently, and said with a smile: "Aunt and cousin are here?" Said so, but Yue Yao didn't go out to greet her, but waited for Xiao Ma and Lu Yan to come over.

Lu Yan saw Yue Yao sitting next to Zhuang Ruolan at a glance, and a gloomy look flashed in her eyes. In the past few months, she has had a very good life, often with new clothes to wear and new jewelry to wear. She knew that these were all ordered by her cousin, and she wanted to get close to her cousin, but when she got closer, she found that her cousin was more than polite to her and not affectionate enough, which made her very sad.

After Yue Yao saluted Xiao Ma, she said with a smile: "Auntie's complexion is much better. "It seems that Cheng is gone, and this aunt's life is also comfortable.

Xiao Ma looked at Yueyao, and then at the smiling niece and daughter-in-law on one side, showing kindness: "You kid, don't say a word when you come over." This was to blame Ruolan for not sending someone to inform her, and secondly, to say that Yueyao was just going to visit her.

Ruolan originally wanted to speak, but she didn't expect Yueyao to speak before her, and said, "If I knew that my aunt was cured now, I would definitely go to ask my aunt for peace." Yue Yao said this plainly, but the meaning revealed was obvious.

Ruolan glanced at Yue Yao, and then at Xiao Ma. Ruolan is actually quite tired of the crooked Ma's. You live as a sojourner, and you have a lot of food and clothing, and you can stay at ease. But this kind of person is unconscious, and when he saw that she was pregnant, he even said that he would help her take care of the house. She was a widow who lived in a hermitage and even wanted to meddle in the internal affairs of the Ma Mansion, and after she refused, she still wanted her to take Lu Yan's housekeeper.

Ruolan listened to Xiao Ma's words at that time, and it felt like swallowing a fly. If it was usual, it would be fine, Ruolan was not as careful as Cheng's, so if she could take her, she would naturally bring it. But now that she is still pregnant, everyone knows that pregnant people can't work, that is, the affairs of Mafu are all managed by her housekeeper mother and two personal maids, but this aunt would make such a ridiculous request, Zhuang Ruolan has been cold to the two of them since then.

Ruolan began to think that she had no conflict of interest with Xiao Ma's Lu Yan, it was nothing more than raising their mother and daughter and then pasting a dowry, and she was not a stingy person, but from this incident, it can be seen that this second aunt and grandmother are definitely a white-eyed wolf, and Lu Yan is not a good one. Junlan is not stingy, but she will not take money to feed the white-eyed wolf.

Xiao Ma smiled and said, "Okay, it's good." ”

Yue Yao looked at Xiao Ma's new clothes and asked, "Auntie, are you going out?" According to Mother Deng, this little aunt has a bad temper and character, and when she was a girl, she didn't have a good girlfriend, and she didn't have any interaction with relatives and friends.

Xiao Ma coughed and said, "No, just come out for a walk, and come over to see your eldest cousin by the way." "Didn't she just dress up in a new dress? When did you say that you were going out to visit your relatives? This girl is as disgusting as her mother.

Yue Yao was a little embarrassed and said, "I thought my aunt was going to take my cousin out to visit relatives!" ”

This sentence choked Xiao Ma Shi didn't know how to respond, Xiao Ma Shi remembered the sentence he blurted out last time, and Yue Yao refused without thinking about it, her eyes were not good.

Lu Yan walked to Yueyao's side and wanted to hold Yueyao's hand, but unfortunately Yueyao didn't like to be touched by her, so she took a step back, and Lu Yao was very embarrassed.

Yueyao whispered, "Cousin, is there anything wrong?" ”

Lu Yan looked at Yue Yao's sincere eyes, felt that Yue Yao must have been new just now, and said: "Cousin, I heard that you wrote a beautiful plum blossom font, I don't know if my cousin can teach me, I want to learn it too?" "It's not a secret that Yue Yao can write plum blossom fonts, and it's not unusual for Lu Yan to know.

Yue Yao glanced at Lu Yan and said, "I'm just getting started, and I can't teach my cousin." If my cousin really wants to learn, she can go to Mr. It took her a year to finally get in, and it will take a long time to make students after she learns well. Of course, don't say that she can't teach Lu Yan just now, even if she has this level, she won't teach it, Yueyao doesn't have that time.

Lu Yan saw that Yue Yao refused her without thinking about it, and was a little aggrieved. Seeing that his daughter's appearance was uncomfortable, Xiao Ma asked, "Did Mr. himself write plum blossom Xiaokai?" What is the surname of the gentleman? "No matter how closed Xiao Ma's news is, he knows that Lianjia has invited a few gentlemen.

Ruolan still smiled at the corner of her mouth.

Caiyun disdains Xiao Ma's, can she say please Mr. without going through her own girl, she really thinks that she is the wife of the house.

Yue Yao glanced at Xiao Ma lightly and said, "Auntie, I practiced by myself. However, my aunt can ask a gentleman who can write this plum blossom font, and it should not be difficult to please. "It's not difficult to ask for a strange reason, it's not that there are no such gentlemen who write well and can teach students, it's just that these people have a very high vision, and they don't teach if they are not high-ranking women. If these people don't mind, they won't be able to teach if they ask for more money alone.

Ruolan smiled and said, "Come, write a few words for me to see." "It's not that Ruolan doesn't believe in Yueyao's character, it's just that she doesn't think that a nine-year-old child can write such a good handwriting, if she starts learning from a young age, it's too wicked, right? Ruolan has to verify it and see if Yueyao has said anything big.

Yueyao didn't sweep Ruolan's face: "Okay, if you don't write well, don't laugh at me when the time comes." "In fact, he does have a lot of doubts about him, but no matter how strong he is, others will only suspect that she is too talented, and will not suspect her demon.

Yahuan took the paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and then began to grind the ink.

Yue Yao watched the girl grind the ink very quickly, and the ink splashed out a few points, this girl didn't grind the ink well, a little too anxious, and said, "I'll do it myself." "If the ink is not sharpened well, it has a great impact, and the words are not good when it is thick or light.

Ruolan herself has practiced calligraphy for a period of time, and when the characters reach a certain standard, she did not continue to practice, seeing Yueyao so solemn, she has only inadvertently seen this kind of expression once, that is, when his father practiced calligraphy in the study. Ruolan is very weird, why would she compare Yueyao with her father, Zhuang Ruolan's father is not competent as a father, but he is famous in the capital for his good handwriting.

Yueyao wrote a line of words: There is no fear of learning, only with A, how far apart? What is the difference between good and evil? What is feared by man, let not be feared.

Yueyao put down her pen and was a little embarrassed: "If you don't write well, don't laugh at my cousin." ”

Ruolan's colorful clothes laughed and said: "Cousin girl, your writing is similar to plum blossoms, if you don't know that you don't think that the flowers have fallen on the paper, you can't say it well, you are too modest." "She doesn't judge, but she likes it.

Ruolan nodded frequently after reading it: "Cousin, you can't be too modest, too modesty is pride." She looked at Yueyao's writing in person, and this word was genuine, and there was no moisture at all. Ruolan sighed, this cousin's talent is really demonic, and she does everything so well, which makes her a little envious when she sees it. And she hasn't seen her cousin's strongest point until now, that is, she doesn't know what her cousin's painting is, but Ruolan is also measured, and now she is a kind of filial piety, so it is not appropriate for Yueyao to paint.

He couldn't understand what he meant, and asked, "What are you writing about?" It's really hard to read. "It's no wonder that Xiao Ma doesn't understand, she would learn from her husband when she was a girl, and she didn't learn anymore when she could understand the female ring and account book. Mrs. Matthew reprimanded her at the time, but Ma was reluctant to learn. She was impatient to learn such obscure things.

Caiyi didn't dare to laugh if she wanted to laugh, so she had to lower her head to hide the smile in her eyes, I don't know if it matters, she doesn't know what it means, but don't ask. It's better to ask in private than in front of so many people.

Yue Yao said softly: "These are the first two sentences of the twentieth chapter of the Tao Te Ching. ”

Xiao Ma's face finally turned red, and she wanted to say that she always learned something weird, but she didn't expect that people copied scriptures.

If you let Yue Yao know that the scriptures that Xiao Ma considers the Tao to be scriptures, I am afraid that she will faint.

Ruolan didn't seem to hear Xiao Ma's words, and said with some regret at the moment: "You girl, such a beautiful character should write two lines of poetry, and it is not appropriate to write the Tao Te Ching!" Although it was written casually, it can be seen that Yueyao has studied the Tao Te Ching, and even if she has studied the Tao Te Ching, she doesn't know what else she hasn't learned.

Lu Yan didn't care about the Tao Te Ching, she really thought these words were beautiful, if she could write such beautiful words, she would feel beautiful when she thought about it. Lu Yan looked at Yue Yao and asked, "Cousin, how did you practice this character?" She also wants to learn, to be able to write such a beautiful handwriting, and to have face when the time comes.

Yue Yao said with a smile: "There is actually no trick to learning to write, practice on the calligraphy, and if you fall in love more, the words will naturally be written well." ”

Ruolan smiled and said, "If this word is as easy as you say, why are there so few people in the capital who have learned it?" Yueyao, it's not good to be too modest, let others listen to such easy words, you can't beg for it. "Generally, the daughters of the boudoir want to learn, but there are not many who can learn sincerely, which not only tests perseverance, but also has to test understanding.

Lu Yan was eager to learn well, and hurriedly said: "Sister, you tell me how to learn well, no matter how hard it is, I will learn." ”

Hua Bud interjected next to her at this time: "Miss Lubiao, my girl gets up every morning and practices an hour character in the morning, noon and evening. At the beginning, because of the excessive writing and writing, there were big blood blisters on our hands, and we had to pick blood blisters for the girl every day. Later, the blood blisters disappeared, but the hands were thick calluses. "Yueyao's hands are calloused, and Yueyao Meiri also used the best ointment, but she couldn't keep those slender jade hands. This made Hua Bud and Qiao Lan sad to death, but Yueyao still persevered and worked hard every day.

Of course, without Hua Lei saying it so exaggeratedly, it is true that Yueyao's hands have a callus, but it is impossible to have a thick cocoon in a year.

Yue Yao forgot to glance at the flower bud and said, "Mouthy." ”

Ruolan was a little surprised, but it was reasonable to think about it, and if the talent was good, she had to practice diligently. Talent and sweat can succeed, and if Yueyao continues like this, she may be able to become a master of calligraphy in the future.

Ruolan looked at Yue Yao's indifferent expression, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Then what do you girls do besides practicing calligraphy?" "Practice calligraphy for three hours a day, what do you do at other hours? With Ruolan's understanding of Yueyao, it shouldn't be fun.

Hua Bud ignored Yueyao's warning, and replied: "The girl is embroidery in addition to practicing calligraphy, she reads books in her spare time, and walks in the yard when she is tired." She really felt that their girl's life was too monotonous, so monotonous that she couldn't even see it. After Hua Bud finished speaking, she added: "The girl spends most of her time copying scriptures now." ”

Yue Yao replied, "I read books such as the Book of Tea, medical books, travelogues, etc., and sometimes I also read books on poetry. ”

Ruolan sighed sincerely: "Cousin is really diligent. ”

Praise Yueyao was a little embarrassed.
