It's just that later Xiusun complained bitterly, and the old lady felt sorry for her, so she didn't let her go to class again, and even Xiuqian didn't have to go, Xiuqian's aunt made another fuss, and was punished by the old lady, and even the wife was reprimanded by the old lady.

At that time, Xiusun was reluctant to learn from Mama Fang, and Xiuguan was very happy, because she was very uncomfortable to be compared to a younger sister than herself.

Although Xiusun now has a good grasp of the rules of etiquette, she has begged her grandmother to let Mama Fang serve in her courtyard, as long as she studies and practices hard, she will be able to surpass Xiusun one day.

This thought of turning back and forth was just a moment, and Xiuguan was a little relieved and then remembered the worrying thing.

"Seventh sister," she stepped forward and shook Xiusun's hand, "You can help the fourth sister, my aunt didn't know how to anger her wife, and she was punished to kneel in the courtyard." ”

As he spoke, he was about to drag Xiusun to the main courtyard, Xiusun hurriedly took a step back, shook off her hand skillfully, and pointed to her head, "Fourth sister, wait for me, I'll comb my hair and change my clothes." ”

Xiuguan looked at it, and the originally delicate jasmine buds in the small bun were crushed into a mess, some of them had been listlessly glued to the hair, most of the hair had fallen out of the bun, and the cardigans on the body were also wrinkled.

It was really inappropriate to go out like this, so she had to sit in the painted floral-patterned begonia armchair against the wall and wait, casually playing with the mandarin duck's newly typed yarn, and by the way, she told the situation of the day.

Xiusun called out to the mandarin duck and asked her to come in and comb her hair and change her clothes.

Although she was already mentally prepared, Xiusun heard what Xiuguan said, and secretly sweated in her heart again, her mother, the wife in charge of this house, Ruan Shi, is a cannon temper, and likes to punish concubines to kneel in the courtyard at every turn.

At this point, her father, Chu You Chu Baye felt that this woman was too vicious, and she had long been disgusted, and she didn't bother to step into the main courtyard all year round, even if it was a handful of times, most of them had to quarrel.

Her grandmother, the old lady, felt that this daughter-in-law was ignorant, and was afraid that she, the only daughter-in-law, would be taught crookedly, so she forced her daughter-in-law to use filial piety to keep Xiusun in her house to raise her.

Xiusun has always felt that her mother can live in this house until now, completely because of her good luck.

Because she couldn't find any other explanation except luck, if it was in the palace where she had lived for seventeen years in her previous life, with her mother's simple and rude style, everything was laid out on the surface, she would have been gnawed to the point that there would be no scum left.

Lifting the mirror jacket, Xiusun sat down in front of the gilt cloisonné enamel mercury mirror, and the mandarin duck quickly broke up Xiusun's unkempt bun, and carefully plucked out the jasmine sticking to the hair.

Xiusun saw Xiuguan behind him from the clear reflection of the mercury mirror and bit his lower lip, and his eyes that were always weak were slightly sharp.

She hooked the corners of her mouth clearly, looked away, and pretended not to see anything.

Maybe even Xiuguan herself didn't notice that once she was jealous, she would bite her lip.

The mercury mirror in front of her was brought back by the fleet in which her uncle participated this year, and it was sent to the silver building to be framed with cloisonné, and the border and back were painted with delicate entwined lotuses.

The uncle sent a total of three sides, another side of the peony wrapped in the old lady's place, and the other side of the poppy flower in the wife's place.

At that time, Aunt Mo was still crying with her father and wanted to go, but her father couldn't bear Aunt Mo's pear blossoms and rain, so she went to talk to her mother, but she was pushed back by her mother's words, and her father was so angry that she didn't talk to her mother for a month.

Mother actually said idly, "Okay, tomorrow I will send a car to send Aunt Mo back to her parents' house and tell Master Mo that this mirror is not a rare thing, I sell one thousand taels in the dowry shop, I will suffer a loss, and it is good to count five hundred taels for Master Mo." ”

Chu Baye is angry, Aunt Mo's father Master Mo is an old boy, and he didn't have to give up his career when he was in his fifties, and now the county is doing accounting for a few shops, and his family's only ancestral property, whether the small courtyard that he entered can be sold for five hundred taels is still unknown.

Ruan's was obviously sarcastic that Aunt Mo was a shabby, and even his husband was scolded, so he remembered that Ruan's 200,000 taels of silver to marry, which was too much for the scholarly family, and it was simply a slap in the face.

Knowing that it was inappropriate to say this, he was carried away by anger, and said angrily, "Since Aunt Mo is my person, as long as you are virtuous, you should take care of her." ”

Usually at this time, as a woman, there is no way to talk back.

But Wen Ruan sneered, blew the dust that did not exist on his nails, and said softly, "What is virtuous, Xianggong, you sue me, you are not 'virtuous', how can I be embarrassed to 'Hui'?" How can there be a virtuous husband in this world who forces his wife to take the things sent by her mother's family to please a concubine. ”

Chu Baye, who grew up reading only sage books, was so angry that he didn't know how to reply, so he angrily slammed the curtain and left, and by the way, he smashed the Ru kiln celadon narcissus basin placed on the railing under the corridor.

Ruan Shi even chased to the door of the bright room, opened the curtain himself, and said in a loud voice, "Xianggong, this flower pot is my dowry, remember to ask the steward of the outer courtyard to send it over later." ”

Afterwards, she really called the steward of the outer courtyard to draw two thousand taels into her private account, and then asked her mother-in-law to drag Aunt Mo to the cobblestone road in the courtyard and knelt for an hour, and her father got the news and wanted to come back to save Aunt Mo, but thinking of Ruan's shrewd face, he actually retreated, pretending not to know.

The old lady Shen sighed helplessly, every time she thought of this daughter-in-law, she always had to worry that she might die without turning a blind eye, and what worried her the most was that she still didn't have a grandson.

Xiusun, who was pretending to be asleep on the Luohan bed in the old lady's banquet room at that time, almost didn't catch her breath and showed her stuffing.

Obediently, her mother-in-law is really ...... It's tough.

In fact, in this house, most people don't like Mrs.'s wealth and fierce style, and Aunt Mo is just a relatively shallow person.

If you want to say that you hate your wife, so does the sister standing behind her.

At first, I only thought she was a diligent and serious little girl, but recently I found out that she is really not a good person. is a bit like Princess Yongding born to Concubine Chen Li in the palace.

The princess of Yongding is silent on the surface, and the whole palace praises her for being honest and virtuous, but in fact, she likes to stumble on people whenever she has the opportunity, and the poor princess Anding doesn't know how many times she has been pitted, only because she relied on her biological mother Tian Huifei to be favored and escaped again and again.

Xiuguan is the same, obviously everything has to be pinched and strong, but she just makes a weak look that needs to be protected, and her wife sends her aunt a few times, and she can run to the Huanshi Mountain House to beg her a few times.

Thinking of this, Xiusun smiled and said, "Fourth sister, I have to wait here for a while, why don't you go and say hello to your grandmother first." ”

Xiuguan, whose eyes were tracing the intricate and gorgeous patterns of the mercury mirror, was stunned when he heard this.

The mother-in-law has a very bad temper, and she wants to send out the aunts at every turn, and only the seventh sister of this mother-in-law's only biological sister can persuade her.

She couldn't bear her aunt's suffering, so she often came to the Huanshi Mountain House to ask this sister to go to the main courtyard for help.

This seventh sister is very talkative, although she often loses some time by changing clothes and combing her hair like today, she has no time to refuse to help.

She also has a good grasp of the scale every time, so as not to make trouble for the old lady, but she will definitely be able to make a move to ensure that the old lady can know that the old lady is grinding with her aunt again.

She believed that over time, the old lady would eventually get tired of her wife, and when she married a prominent husband in two years, she would no longer have to look at the faces of her mother-in-law and Miss Seven.

But when she came, the seventh sister never asked her to go to her grandmother to say goodbye, but just quietly went with her, how could it be abnormal today?

Don't you want to save her aunt?

She looked at the mercury mirror in front of Xiusun, the mirror surface as smooth as a lake clearly reflected the familiar innocent and ignorant and somewhat sallow little face, but a pair of eyes were clear and cold, black and white, as if facing anything could be reflected in the original place, in front of these eyes, there was nowhere to hide.

This is a very strange feeling, obviously a little child, but with such a pair of eyes, Xiuguan always feels the cold wind swishing around her body, as if the next moment, Xiusun will tell the little abacus in her heart with a mocking face.

She felt a little uneasy, but she didn't want to trust her instincts.

The seventh sister must have said it casually on a whim, it must be like this, she comforted herself.

She pretended to open her eyes as if nothing had happened, threw away the big red veil that had been drenched in sweat, and turned to secretly pull the handkerchief in her hand, smiling reluctantly, "I'd better not go first, lest my grandmother know about it and be angry again." ”

Angry? Hmph, who's mad?

Xiusun's eyebrows curled when she heard this, and she clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, if my grandmother asks, I will tell my grandmother that the fourth sister came to me to embroider a kang screen for my grandmother on a moonlit night in the Spring River." ”

Okay, if you are vague with me, I will play stupid for you to the end.

Xiuguan clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her knuckles were slightly white, she knew that this was a long poem, embroidered into a kang screen?

She started to take needles at the age of five, and she was instructed by a famous teacher, and in six years, she has already practiced a good female celebrity.

But everyone is beautiful, not only good at women, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she begged her father to invite her a master who is good at the piano.

In order to hone her piano skills, she has to practice for three hours every day, if she embroiders this kang screen, when will she practice the piano.

Xiuguan was still thinking of an excuse to excuse herself, but Xiusun had already continued, "I wrote a painting for me with my grandmother a few days ago, and it's just right to do tricks, and I'll let the magpie send it to you later, and the fourth sister also paints well, so it's better to match the landscape." I remember that there was a small leaf of red sandalwood in the library where my mother was married, which was just used as a base. ”

Well, at this moment, the old lady and the lady knew that she was going to embroider a kang screen for the old lady, and there was no room for the slightest change.
