Chapter 34: Beauty is not in the skin
Sure enough, as Shu Yanhua thought, Shu Yanyu's homework did not pass at all in the eyes of Second Uncle Shu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Second Uncle Shu looked at the little girl whose face was flushed, touched her head soothingly, and handed her a set of ceramic dolls on the Duobao Pavilion in the study, "Yu'er, this is a gadget that Second Uncle gave you, take it back and play with it." ”
Shu Yanyu accepted the porcelain doll and thanked her softly.
Second Uncle Shu turned his head to look at his eldest brother again, thought about it, and considered his suggestion: "Big brother, Yu'er is still young, why don't I ask a gentleman to come back?" ”
In fact, the implication is that Shu Yanyu is not good at learning, and she can't bear to look at it directly.
Shu Xiuhe watched from beginning to end, with his cheekiness in officialdom, he naturally did not feel ashamed because his daughter couldn't answer the question, but patted his daughter's head comfortingly, and when he heard the second brother's proposal, he directly responded:
"Okay, Xixi will be handed over to the second brother to find it, I can rest assured."
He turned his head to look at his daughter again, and comforted him softly: "Yu'er, don't be discouraged, your sister is at your age, just like you, after two years, you can also go to a women's school." ”
Shu Yanyu lowered her head and answered softly, without saying a word.
Knowing that the little girl was embarrassed, Shu Xiuhe got up and took her hand and said to the second brother, "It's late at night, let's go back." ”
Second Uncle Shu personally sent his eldest brother and niece out of the hospital, and saw them go back along the path under the lantern carried by Xiaowu and Yahuan, until they couldn't see anyone, and then turned back to their upper room.
Shu Yanqiao returned to the Linglong House where she lived, and when she entered the door, she saw a delicate woman making a silk dress under the candle, the red silk dress was embroidered with peonies and flowers all over the place, and the peonies were layered on top of each other, and they were blooming complex and gorgeous, as if they were alive, which showed that the woman's embroidery was extremely powerful.
"Auntie, it's late at night, don't do it again, beware of burning your eyes."
Shu Yanqiao saw at a glance that the silk dress in her aunt's hand belonged to her grandmother, and since she could remember, it was common for her aunt to ask her mother's mother Chen for good materials and make clothes for her grandmother, and her aunt would only make coats, as for her father's clothes, she had never done a single one, and she didn't even give her purse to her father.
When she was a child, she didn't understand, but when she grew up, she knew the hardships of her aunt, this woman who loved her and loved her, for her, she had been enduring her wisdom, and played a stupid concubine in front of her mother-in-law.
Shu Yanqiao was very unwilling, and swore that she would never be a concubine in the future, and if she wanted to, she would be a wife!
When Aunt Fang saw her daughter coming back, she listened to her concern for her, smiled comfortably, carefully put away the silk clothes in her hand, and instructed the maid in the yard to carry hot water and wash her daughter's back in person.
In the clean room, only two mothers and daughters were there, and Aunt Fang asked in a low voice in her daughter's ear, "What happened today?" ”
Aunt Fang was admitted to the door when Mei was pregnant with Shu Hongwen in order to show her virtuousness, and her medicine was stopped until Mei's children were complete.
Three months later, Aunt Fang became pregnant.
When it was, Aunt Fang had joy, but more of fear and fear.
Fortunately, she was born as a girl, and if it was a boy, she would definitely be without her in the world now, and her child would definitely die for some reason.
She entered the mansion for a year, and she figured out Mei's character, except for Mei's own biological son, she would not tolerate the appearance of sons born to other women in the mansion, because the concubine would thin out her biological son's family property.
Therefore, the eldest young master, Shu Hongxuan, is destined to be a poor person.
So when Aunt Fang heard the midwife say that she gave birth to a daughter in the delivery room, she fainted with confidence, and since then she has loved her daughter like a jewel.
Under Mei's nose, she never tried to hook up with Hou Ye, nor would she appear in front of Hou Ye too much, after Qiao'er was born, the most important person in her life was no longer the great man, but the baby she was pregnant with in October, for her, she could do anything.
Aunt Fang was not stupid enough to try to install eyeliner in the Hou Mansion, and even in the Linglong House where they lived, she did not pull out the eyeliner of Mei and the others, for so many years, she only ensured that she and her daughter's personal people were trustworthy people, as for the sources of the Hou Mansion......
As the third lady of Hou Fu, Shu Yanqiao can know a lot of things, which is safer than her hard work to install eyeliner.
Every day, at this moment, the daughter tells her what happened that day, and she analyzes one or two from it.
Shu Yanqiao told her aunt in detail what happened today, and then saw her aunt with a thoughtful look.
"Auntie, but what did you think?" Shu Yanqiao also asked in a low voice.
In the place where she lives, she still has to be so quiet, lest the wall has ears, Shu Yanqiao's heart is even more resentful.
"It seems that the second lady is going to compete with the eldest lady again."
Aunt Fang looked at the little little person sitting in the bathtub, with a melon seed face, willow moon eyebrows, apricot round eyes, and fair skin, although it is not as graceful as Shu Yanhua, it is also a beautiful embryo, and it may not be able to bloom in the future.
It's a pity that both the second miss and Qiao'er will be eclipsed by the brilliance of the eldest lady, fortunately, this kind of day doesn't have to stay up for long, just wait for the second miss and Lu, when you want to start choosing a husband, you don't have to hide under the elegance of the eldest lady.
Aunt Fang thought so in her heart.
Shu Yanqiao was a little uncomfortable by her aunt, and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" ”
Aunt Fang came back to her senses, glanced at her daughter fixedly, and asked her in a deep voice, "Are you angry in your heart?" ”
This sentence came from the beginning and end, but Shu Yanqiao was also smart, thinking of what her aunt said just now, she pursed her lips, and gently patted the hot water in the bathtub with her little hand, and saw a few splashes in the water, so she replied softly:
"I'm not going to be like that idiot, and I'm bored with myself."
The look of disdain on his face was very obvious, and he didn't see the well-behaved and flattering look that followed Shu Yanyu on weekdays.
Aunt Fang gently wiped her daughter's back, and when she heard her words, she glanced at her appreciatively, "Qiao'er, Aunt is very happy that you can recognize the current situation, now at this time, the eldest lady and the eldest young master are in the limelight, you can't provoke them, the second lady has a lady to escort her, and the aunt has no ability to protect you." ”
Shu Yanqiao didn't think that what her aunt said was all right, at least the last sentence she thought was her aunt's self-humility.
With just a few words she brought back every day, my aunt can guess the actions of her grandmother and others, which is not without ability.
"But no matter how much the second miss wants to fight, I'm afraid she can't fight for the eldest miss, I guess, Madame either asks Xixi to come back and teach the second miss well, or let the second miss go to Splendid Academy to study, the latter possibility is the greatest."
Aunt Fang motioned for her daughter to get up, wrapped her cloth towel around her, quickly wiped her body, dressed her, and carried her back to bed.
The disdain in Shu Yanqiao's eyes became clearer, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito and a fly in Aunt Fang's ear: "That idiot can't even compare with me, and I want to compare with the eldest sister, it's just a fool's dream." ”
Aunt Fang patted her daughter lightly, and with a glance, Shu Yanqiao stopped talking, and when she left the clean room, she could no longer speak ill of anyone in the family.
"You don't care about her, if you have a husband, just follow the husband to study hard, since the eldest lady has set a precedent, you can naturally go to the women's examination, and the aunt is waiting for you to fight for the aunt's face." It's late at night, go to sleep. ”
Aunt Fang sat on the edge of the bed, patted her daughter gently and regularly, and heard the long and deep breath before getting up and leaving the upper room.
The candles in the room were blown out, the room was plunged into darkness, and many people fell asleep.
