Chapter 823: A Lecture to Liu Yaluo
This Mid-Autumn Festival, it is a family reunion, eating reunion dinner, admiring the moon and chatting.
The Zhang family is no exception.
Because Liu Yaluo was going to attend the family banquet in the Liuguo Mansion, the Zhang family moved this family banquet to the evening, also to match Liu Ayaluo's time. Although Zhang Xiao was a little displeased with the behavior of the Liuguo Mansion, he was a scholar after all, and he knew that the grace of nurturing was greater than the sky, so he did not stop him. However, Liu Yaluo recognized her relatives and returned to the Zhang family, and this rare Mid-Autumn Festival was to be celebrated together, so that everyone in the family knew Liu Yaluo. In addition, Mrs. Zhang can have a daughter for her eldest son, and she can be regarded as having a queen, she is really gratified, and she is also interested in Liu Ayaluo, and the love in this is needless to say.
However, Liu Aya Luo was already angry in the Liuguo Mansion today, and when she sat down and looked at the strangers at the table, her complexion was not much better, plus she was used to seeing dragon liver and phoenix gall in the Liuguo Mansion, and she looked at the extremely ordinary dishes on the table of the Zhang family, and she felt more and more cold.
Mrs. Zhang was very happy to see Liu Ayaluo, although Liu Ayaluo did not come to greet her immediately after she came, but Zhang Xiao explained to her, saying that she was worried about her long journey and worried that she would be tired, so she didn't come to ask for peace, and she felt more and more about Liu Ayaluo's filial piety.
"Arrow, come and sit here, and let Grandmother take a look at you." Mrs. Zhang patted the seat specially set aside by her side and said with a smile.
Liu Yaluo looked left and right, pulled the corners of her mouth, stepped forward and sat down, and called faintly: "Grandmother......"
"Hey, look, how sensible this kid is!" Mrs. Zhang was heartbroken for her eldest son who died early, Huafa was born early, and now when she saw Liu Yaluo, she was like seeing her eldest son, she only took her hand and said, "Child, you have suffered outside all these years. Don't be afraid, your grandmother will protect you from now on! ”
"I'm fine, my parents treat me very well...... I didn't suffer any grievances. Liu Yaluo said on her lips, but secretly said in her heart, I came to your house to really suffer! The family is broken, even if I am wronged, can you still ask for me?
Thinking like this, Liu Yaluo's heart became more and more unhappy.
"That's good, come, you haven't seen these brothers and sisters in the family, grandmother will introduce you to ......" Mrs. Zhang took Liu Yaluo's hand, and only pointed to Zhang Xiao's wife and his children one by one to recognize Liu Yaluo, and they all gave her a salute, but Liu Yaluo was a little reluctant to only give half a salute to the elders, and in the end she didn't regard the Zhang family as a serious relative, so she didn't put those thoughts into it.
Zhang Xiao's wife Tao never thought that Liu Yaluo would have the arrogance of a noblewoman, she was also from a scholarly family, and she valued this etiquette and morality the most, and she didn't like it when she saw Liu Yaluo's behavior like this. But Mrs. Zhang was overwhelmed by Huanxi at this time, and she didn't even notice Liu Ayaluo's faux pas, and Tao Shizi didn't want to remind her, so she only frowned and responded lightly.
But Zhang Xiao is different, he has also been with Liu Yaluo for a few days these days, although she didn't say anything, but it can be seen from her behavior that she is very unkind to the Zhang family, and at this time she has no respect for her wife and children, which makes him angry. But because of Mrs. Zhang's face, he couldn't say anything at this time, so he only decided to talk to Liu Yaluo when he had dinner.
In order to make up for Liu Ayaluo, Mrs. Zhang always gave her vegetables, and only told her to eat well, which was very distressing.
Although Liu Ayaluo didn't like Mrs. Zhang's excessive love, she didn't refuse in the end, she only frowned and ate a few bites, but she didn't taste good today, so she refused to use it anymore after using some. And she really didn't want to eat at the same table with them, so she wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "I'm full, I'll go back to the yard first." ”
Old Madam Zhang said with concern: "What's wrong?" But what the chef in the house does not suit your appetite? You grew up in the Guogong Mansion, presumably this taste is also cultivated, and it is difficult for you, so I will ask your uncle to choose a good cook for you to enter the mansion, so that you can take good care of your body. ”
Mrs. Zhang cared so much that the other grandchildren next to her did not look very good-looking.
But Liu Ayaluo's behavior fell in the eyes of Zhang Xiao and his wife, who already had a problem with her, that is, she disliked them, although they were not wrong, but in the end it was annoying.
Zhang Xiao couldn't eat it at the moment, so he only put aside his chopsticks, looked at Liu Yaluo, who was cold-faced, and said lightly: "Mother, you use it first, and I'll eat it too." By the way, I have something to say to Ayara, Ayara, you come with me. So saying, he got up and departed.
Liu Ayaluo didn't know what was going on, but she was relieved to be able to leave to eat with these people. Although the Zhang family has proper etiquette, for Liu Ayaluo, who looks down on them, eating with them is really torturous.
Tao glanced at it, only retracted his gaze, and smiled lightly: "Mother, you use it first, this is your favorite tofu brain." By the way, the mooncakes for moon viewing later have the flavor of lotus paste that you love. ”
Liu Yaluo followed Zhang Xiao out of the hall, all the way to the study, and when she could enter the study, Liu Yaluo couldn't help frowning, "What do you call me?" ”
Zhang Xiao sat behind the case, heard the words, raised his hand and stroked his forehead, and said coldly: "Ayaluo, I know that you lived a very happy life in the Liuguo Mansion in the first half of your life, with a lot of clothes and food, and a group of servants, and because of the name of the county lord's daughter, you have won the love of the queen of the palace and King Min and his wife, which can be said to be a great honor." I also know that the Zhang family is small, and it is not as luxurious as the Liuguo Mansion everywhere, and I don't have a reputation, so you don't have the glory you used to. ”
When Liu Yaluo heard this, she pulled the corners of her mouth and looked up, obviously puzzled why she suddenly had such self-knowledge.
Zhang Xiao's face turned slightly cold, "But, Ayaluo, you have to remember that no matter how beautiful and dazzling you have been in the past, it is someone else's, it is Liu Guogong's kindness, so that you can take advantage of his daughter-in-law, and everything you enjoy belongs to Fushou Junjun." Now that Fushou Junjun has returned to Beijing, these have to be returned to her, and I am also very grateful that she can tolerate you, and there has been no anger. However, Ayaluo, you also have to recognize your own identity, you are a member of the Zhang family, and your father is Zhang Xiang, not Liu Guogong. And I am also your uncle, no matter how unwilling you are, you must recognize this fact. This place is your home, and we are your relatives! After today, I don't want to see you look like this again. ”
