In fact, Mama Dou is not a stereotypical person. This pair of affectionate sisters and brothers reunite after a long absence, and it is inevitable that they will behave out of line under the joy. Mama Dou was moved by this kind of sibling affection, so she deliberately ignored these faux pas and did not stand up on the spot to make people unhappy.

If it's a trivial matter, it's fine, but this pair of siblings made a big mistake that she can't ignore. Although Lu Yan was not within the scope of her discipline, for the sake of her master, she still patiently waited for the two of them to finish chatting before she stood up and corrected.

"Miss, young master, do you know how much mistake you made today!"

Lu Yan looked at this strange old servant who was strict, only thinking that she was a subordinate sent by her future brother-in-law, and was quite unimpressed by her alarmism: "We are sisters and brothers, and it is inevitable that we will talk a little more when we meet again after a long absence, this is human nature, it's not a big mistake, right?" ”

Mama Dou can serve the Queen Mother for more than 30 years, how can she be a person with a small belly, she didn't care about Lu Yan's contempt for this junior, and turned her head to look at Zhihua: "The eldest lady also thinks that she is not very wrong, right?" ”

Zhihua's thoughts are indeed similar to Lu Yan's, but she is more tactful, "Mama wants to remind us that our sisters and brothers need to pay attention to avoid suspicion when they get along in the future?" I won't do it again next time. ”

Mama Dou didn't answer her words, and asked again: "Just now, the old slave listened to the young lady tell Mother Han, saying that the eldest young master would set up a meal when he left Songling Courtyard, right?" ”

"Yes."

Mama Dou asked Lu Yan again: "Then the eldest young master came directly to see the eldest lady when he left Songling Courtyard, right?" ”

Lu Yan saw that his sister had great respect for this old servant. Although he was puzzled, he also learned from the same and corrected his attitude: "Yes." ”

Mama Dou's complexion did not ease due to Lu Yan's correction. Instead, it was upgraded from strict to severe: "Dare to ask the eldest young master, why don't you go to Lihe Courtyard to ask for peace?" Where did you put your mother-in-law? ”

When Lu Yan returned from the academy in the past, he would follow the rules at the beginning, and greet the old lady and the eldest lady one by one before coming to his sister. But every time he went to Lihe Courtyard and couldn't say a few words, the eldest lady would send him out on the grounds that he would not delay his reunion with his sister. And he has great respect for this stepmother on the surface. In fact, he didn't take it very seriously, so over time, he gradually neglected to ask the eldest lady for peace.

And what about Zhihua. She was not unaware of her brother's actions, but because the eldest lady had been obedient in front of her, and she held the other party's handle, she felt that it didn't matter if her brother didn't greet her. The other party didn't dare to make a fuss about it.

Mama Dou didn't wait for the reaction of the two sisters and brothers. continued to accuse: "I Jing'an governs the country with filial piety, and the old slave heard that the eldest young master is quite praised by Mr. in the academy, so he must be planning to step into the official career in the future, right?" Maybe now you don't take the eldest lady, the daughter of a nine-grade petty official, in your eyes, but if this goes on like this, when the eldest young master will be named on the gold list in the future, what you are doing now is not to give a big handle to the other party? The old slave has been in the Lu family for a short time, and it is impossible to know why the eldest lady lowered her body and bowed down to her nominal children. But thinking about it, it's also because the young lady has pinched her weakness. Miss thought about it. In the future, will the weakness you hold in your hands be greater than your brother's reputation for unfilial piety? ”

This deafening remark was like a slap in the face, and when the two sisters and brothers heard it, their faces changed together.

Zhihua's cold sweat flowed out. This time she was indeed negligent, if there was no timely reminder from Mama Dou, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lu Yan is also very well taught. Since the death of his mother, his sister has used her childish little hands to block all kinds of cold wind and rain in the Lu family's back house for him, so that he can study with peace of mind. As for him, he studied hard, fantasizing that one day he would get ahead and be able to protect his sister in turn. is so ambitious, he has developed a big grinning and uninhibited temperament.

Zhihua was reluctant to let her younger brother come into contact with these ways of the back house, but she didn't expect that in the future officialdom, all kinds of open and secret battles would only be more dangerous and more precautionary than in the back house. Lu Yan's small problem, which she was used to unintentionally, will become a fatal weakness when she embarks on her career in the future.

Mama Dou's first lesson benefited the two sisters and brothers a lot, and it will be unforgettable for a lifetime.

If the previous respect for her was only superficial, after this lesson, Zhihua and Lu Yan respected her from the bottom of their hearts. At that moment, the two of them stood up straight together, and solemnly bowed to her, "Thank you Mama Dou for correcting me, Zhihua (Lu Yan) has been taught." ”

Mama Dou's face was calm, and she accepted this gift without hesitation. Today's lesson is the certificate of nomination she handed to her new master, and it is also a pathfinder she cast. For this new master, who is about to become the princess, whether she will teach carefully or pretend to be confused in the future depends on the other party's reaction after listening to this passage.

Looking straight into Zhihua's eyes and understanding all the information in her eyes, Mama Dou nodded secretly, thinking about it.

***

On the eve of the wedding, Mrs. Jiang came to the Lu family with her son early in the morning to add makeup to her niece.

Mama Dou was entrusted by Zhihua to personally accompany them to the old lady to say hello first. With this big Buddha present, the old lady prepared a night of difficult means are all held in her stomach, in addition to the face as black as the bottom of the pot, the greetings are also polite.

After casually sending the mother and son who came early to make a block for themselves, the old lady ordered to go down, and then all the guests were directly led to Qiuhua Courtyard, and she no longer received them.

Among the people who sent the condolences the day before yesterday, except for the Jiang family, who was removed from their official positions, the rest were noble ladies who could not be slacked off at will. The old lady couldn't get used to these people making face to the girl in the big house, and she didn't dare to offend at will, so she simply closed the door of Songling Courtyard, out of sight.

Out of Songling Courtyard, Jiang Yunfei couldn't wait to see his cousin, so Mama Dou sent a little maid to take him to Qingyun Courtyard, and she accompanied Mrs. Jiang back to Miss. As soon as she stepped into Qiuhua Courtyard, Zhihua hurried out.

"Auntie." She greeted happily, caught a glimpse of the disapproving eyes cast by Mama Dou on the side, and stopped her steps. She secretly stuck out her tongue and performed a junior salute in a proper manner, and then Mama Dou withdrew her gaze.

Mrs. Jiang didn't notice the interaction between the master and servant, and smiled and said with disgust: "You kid, why do you have a courtesy relationship with your aunt?" If you really want to talk about the rules, my aunt has to meet you, the countryman, first. "After staying at the border for a long time, Jiang Wu and his wife don't pay much attention to these things in front of their own families, and they are quite unaccustomed to seeing their niece salute.

Zhihua affectionately took her arm, and interrupted with a smile: "Auntie, you came so early, you haven't had breakfast yet, right?" I specially asked people to prepare your favorite crystal shrimp dumplings, hibiscus egg rolls......"

Mrs. Jiang interrupted her with some confusion: "Ah Hua, how do you know that your aunt likes to eat these?" ”

As far as Jiang Wu's rough temper is concerned, I'm afraid I don't know much about his wife's tastes, so he will never sue his niece.

Zhihua stammered, and vaguely pushed the reason to her mother: "Well, I heard my mother mention it when I was a child...... Am I mistaken? ”

Mrs. Jiang was relieved and did not doubt him: "No, you are not mistaken." I can't imagine that my sister would talk to you about such a trivial matter, and it's hard for you to have a heart, and I still remember my aunt after so many years. ”

Zhihua laughed dryly twice, and pulled her to the house, "Auntie, let's go, I'm hungry." ”
