Chapter 206: Teaching Mama
Mrs. Liang talked to Xiao Xia for a while, and when she heard that the palace had sent two teaching grandmothers over, she hurried out to greet her.
Liang Chenyu, who had been standing aside, walked over and looked down at her, Xiao Xia bowed his head weakly and didn't dare to speak.
Liang Chenyu was silent for a long time and sighed lightly: "That's it, maybe this is the will of heaven, since it is the second brother and sister who keep you, I have nothing to say, Xiao Xia, you ......"
Xiao Xia knew what he was going to say, so he quickly nodded vigorously, indicating that he understood that he would definitely not provoke Liang Chenjing again.
Liang Chenyu looked at her fluttering eyes, and sighed softly: "It's good that you understand, take a good rest, if you have something to tell me, I'm going back to see Dandan!" ”
Speaking of which, Miao Dandan has been giving birth for so long, Xiao Xia has not been to see it a few times, firstly, Miao Dandan's temper is not very good after giving birth, and he often gets angry, which makes the people in the house feel upset; Second, Miao Dandan's family often came over, and Xiao Xia felt that she was redundant; Sanlai Miao Dandan never let himself touch the child, and his eyes were like looking at a different person.
Even so, the eldest brother Liang Chenyu is good to himself, yesterday was the full moon of the child, because there were many people who didn't have time to give gifts to the little nephew, Xiao Xia knew that they were not short of precious supplements for gold and silver objects, so he painted a jubilant New Year's doll as a gift.
She took out the portrait and presented it with both hands, Liang Chenyu opened it and looked at it, and was immediately amused, and rubbed Xiao Xia's head happily: "You have a heart, Dandan must be happy to see it, rest, I'm leaving!" ”
Watching Liang Chenyu leave quickly, Xiao Xia touched his head, feeling that he really regarded himself as a sister. Actually, the eldest brother is really a very good man, but unfortunately I don't have this blessing.
Of course, she didn't have any thoughts about Liang Chenyu, but she just felt that it would be a pity if Miao Dandan, such a good man, didn't know how to cherish it.
After a while, Mrs. Liang brought in two teaching grandmothers, both of whom were in their forties. They are meticulously dressed, and their faces are always expressions that are neither humble nor arrogant, or they have no expression at all.
These two people, one surnamed Liu and the other surnamed Feng, have similar body and facial expressions, at first glance they look like twin sisters, but if you look closely, the facial features of the two are completely different.
That's it, the left and right are just teaching Mama. After a few days of training, it will be fine.
Mrs. Liang was quite polite to them. personally arranged a place for them to live, and said polite words with a smile, asking them to teach Xiao Xia well. The two saluted lightly: "Madame, don't worry, we are hand-picked by the queen's mother, and we will not let the young lady lose our royal face." ”
Mrs. Liang was stunned for a moment, and anyone could feel the alienation and arrogance in Mama's tone. Mrs. Liang is a person who has seen the world, even if the ordinary concubines in the palace see her, she has to give a few thin noodles. It's the first time I've been treated like this by a subordinate.
Mrs. Liang smiled embarrassedly: "That'...... It's just bothering the two! ”
"Mrs. Liang is polite, we act according to the orders of the queen, naturally there will be no slackness, I just hope that Mrs. Liang will not hinder us in the future because of the distressed miss."
Mrs. Liang was stunned again. Looking at Xiao Xia in a flash, she couldn't help but be a little worried, she sighed slightly: "Of course." I naturally won't bother when Xiao Xia learns the rules, but I just ...... Two digits. Xiao Xia can't speak, and sometimes please be more patient and don't be too harsh. ”
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Liang, we can't guarantee this, everything we teach is in accordance with the palace rules, I think the queen mother came over like this when she was young, and no one can be an exception."
This time, Mrs. Liang was choked so badly that her face was embarrassed, and Xiao Xia went over to take her arm and give her a reassuring look.
The more she is like this, the more uneasy Mrs. Liang is, Xiao Xia, a stupid girl, doesn't know her but knows that the queen has two sons, the eldest son is the former prince, although he was canonized, he died before he was five years old, and the second son is the second prince, although he is healthy, he is dull by nature, and he doesn't like to study, and the emperor doesn't like him very much.
After the crown prince went, the emperor has not re-established the crown prince, there are four princes in the court, and on the surface, they should all be the queen's second princes, but the emperor may not nod, but the third prince, who has always been favored, has become a popular candidate.
For this reason, the queen has always disliked the three princes and tried every means to suppress them, and these two people who taught Mama to be the queen would definitely not be polite to Xiao Xia.
Alas! Poor child, she must have suffered for half a month, but fortunately she was not allowed to leave the house, I can still help her every day, if she leaves the house, I don't know what she will be tortured into.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Liang said politely: "Two grandmothers, I have no opinion on you teaching Xiaoxia rules, but my daughter still has to learn from me to take care of housework, manage accounts, and fulfill filial piety with the old lady, so I can't learn from you day and night, I think it's better for us to set a time, what do you think?" ”
The two of them glanced at each other, walked to the side and exchanged a few words: "Yes, then every day from morning to noon, and from afternoon to unitary time." ”
"This ...... Isn't it going to be too long? ”
The two immediately said with a straight face: "If Mrs. Liang thinks that we are not teaching well, you can report to the queen and ask the mother to change us." ”
Mrs. Liang choked for a moment, and felt very uncomfortable, even if these two people were sent by the queen, they were just two subordinates in the end, and they didn't give themselves face again and again, no matter how good Mrs. Liang's temperament was, she couldn't hold it down, not to mention that she felt sorry for Xiao Xia and wanted to fight for Xiao Xia some power, so she changed her face and said lightly in a blink of an eye:
"Even so, I won't leave the two, you go and report to the queen yourself! Besides, I will send someone to send a letter to the three princes, asking the three princes to personally choose two to teach Mama, after all, Xiao Xia will enter the door of the three princes in the future. ”
This time it was the turn of the two teaching grandmothers to be dumbfounded, and the two went to the side to mumble in private, and then came back, their faces were still calm and calm, but there was a little more reluctance or embarrassment in their eyes.
That Mama Feng Fufu bowed: "The old slave spoke recklessly, please forgive me for offending Mrs. Liang, if Mrs. Liang thinks that Miss Xiao Xia knows etiquette and understands the rules, and does not need to be too serious, the old slave will do it, but ......
Mrs. Liang, with all due respect to the old slave, if according to Mrs. Liang's request, if the young lady does something inappropriate in the future because of the lack of etiquette and rules, or offends the nobles because of this, please forgive Mrs. Liang at that time. Don't blame the old slave. ”
Mrs. Liang's eyelids jumped, and she scolded in her heart: What a dog slave who bullies people by retreating, hmph, you have the support of the queen, and I will let you let it, even if Xiao Xia really makes jokes in the future, he can't find them.
Mrs. Liang pursed her lips and smiled: "Look at what you said." It's not started yet. Let's put aside the relationship first, do the two grandmothers think my daughter is too stupid? ”
The two replied in unison: "The old slave doesn't dare." ”
"That's good, you do it with all your hearts. On the queen's side, I will go to thank you, and in the future, I will come to Shenshi every afternoon, let Xiao Xia follow you to learn etiquette, and Xiao Xia will accompany me the rest of the time! ”
Mrs. Liang looked back at Xiao Xia. Xiao Xia nodded happily, of course she knew. Mrs. Liang has been arguing for her own good for so long, so as not to suffer from it, to be honest, Xiao Xia likes Mrs. Liang more and more in her heart. I really want to treat her like my own mother.
After arranging a qiē, Mrs. Liang went back to do things, Xiao Xia rested for a while after lunch, and was awakened by a cold and stiff voice when she was drowsy: "Miss Xiao Xia." It's time for class, please come to the courtyard. ”
I thought I had learned etiquette for a few years. Most of the rules are understood, and she will not be tortured too badly by the two mothers-in-law, but unfortunately she thought wrong, this is indeed torture.
From time to time, the two mothers-in-law let themselves stand motionless in the courtyard like a stake, with several large bowls of water on their heads and shoulders, and the two of them also walked around her with a ring ruler, and did not send the woman to wait while walking.
A quarter of an hour or two can barely endure it, but for two or three hours without moving, and then reciting the mess, stammering a little or making a mistake, the ring ruler will call to him.
The first time she lasted for an hour, her head shook, and with a clang, a large bowl of water was splashed on her body.
Just changed her clothes, the two grandmothers brought a bigger bowl and put it on her head and shoulders, the soreness just now has not disappeared, how can this stand it, Xiao Xia frowned slightly, and the grandmother snorted contemptuously:
"If you are so lazy, Mrs. Liang is still protecting you, with your foundation, you may not be qualified for half a year of practice, and if you are not biological, you will not be satisfied."
Xiao Xia glared at her a little angrily, what nonsense? Mrs. Liang is obviously for my good and doesn't want me to suffer, this mother-in-law is really annoying, she doesn't want to provoke the relationship between me and Mrs. Liang, but sure enough, the person who came was not good.
Even in order to repay Mrs. Liang's kindness, Xiao Xia gritted her teeth and endured it, and stood up for two hours.
Gui Fang Guixiang next to her saw the beads of sweat on Xiao Xia's face coming out one by one, and the clothes on her body were soaked with sweat, the two of them were anxious, but they couldn't help it, thinking that they were also like this at the beginning, the only thing the two of them could do was to prepare hot water, clothes, tea, and stare at the hourglass, hoping that time would wash over quickly.
As soon as the hour came, Gui Fang Guixiang rushed up almost at the same time to remove the water bowl and helped Xiao Xia to the side and sit down.
The two grandmothers glanced at each other, a smile flashed in their eyes, and then they said lightly to Xiao Xia Fufu: "Miss, tomorrow afternoon, please go to the courtyard on time for class, and the old slave will leave." ”
It's dinner time now, and the two of them followed the mother-in-law in the courtyard out to eat, Gui Fang and Gui Xiang hurriedly pinched Xiao Xia's shoulders and beat her legs: "Miss, those two grandmothers are obviously deliberately manipulating you, and they let you stand for three hours the first time you come, it's too much!" ”
Xiao Xia let out a long breath and shook his head slightly, saying that he didn't mind, he was really too lazy usually, and it was good to take this opportunity to exercise.
Even if she could think about it in her heart, she couldn't help but beat the drum a little at the thought of suffering another crime tomorrow afternoon.
That's it, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, gritted its teeth and passed, what are you afraid of?
For a few days in a row, Xiao Xia was tossed every day to exhaustion, if it weren't for Mrs. Liang often coming to see her, and occasionally taking a break in the middle, it would be too difficult.
She was very glad that Mrs. Liang had helped her buy time, if she had tossed so much in the morning, she would definitely not be able to stand it, alas!
In the middle of the afternoon of this day, Xiao Xia was still reciting the women's rules with a bowl, and there was some movement at the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Xia glanced out of the corner of his eyes and saw Su Linglong coming in with Gui Ying Guilan.
"Yo, I'm busy, I can't come at the right time."
Su Linglong walked up to the two grandmothers: "Two, the concubine has prepared some tea and pastries, it is afternoon tea time, can you give me a thin noodle and let me say a few words to my sister?" ”
The two grandmothers glanced at each other and said lightly: "The young lady is a third-grade lady, and the old slave does not dare to disobey the young lady's order." ”
Gui Fang and Gui Xiang hurriedly removed the things on Xiao Xia's body and helped her sit down, Su Linglong sat opposite Xiao Xia with a smile, "Look at my sister who is tired, come, sister, I'll wipe your sweat!" ”
Su Linglong pinched the handkerchief and wiped it on the tip of Linglong's cheeks, nose and mouth, and the handkerchief had a fresh and special fragrance that was particularly refreshing.
Xiao Xia's eyes stared at the champa, Su Linglong picked up a piece of dim sum and put it to her mouth: "Sister, come, eat something, I'll feed you!" ”
Xiao Xia frowned and closed her mouth and tilted her head slightly, Gui Fang said: "Thank you Second Young Grandma, we have a snack in the house, we have prepared it for a long time, Miss loves to eat those things, and the others are not very appetizing, why don't you taste it too?" ”
Su Linglong didn't seem to mind, and said with a smile: "Okay, take it and taste it." ”
After Gui Fang brought the snack, Su Linglong took it, ate a piece by herself, and fed Xiao Xia a piece with her own hands, Xiao Xia still didn't open her mouth, looking at the smiling face close at hand, Xiao Xia felt how uncomfortable she was, after all, this face used to be her own, no matter how friendly she was, Xiao Xia couldn't forget the memory of Jì.
Su Linglong waited for a moment and chuckled: "What, sister, are you still afraid that I will poison this?" So many people are watching, and the things are yours again, and I have eaten them, what are you afraid of? Come on, have a bite to eat! ”
Although she didn't like it, she couldn't give her too much face, Xiao Xia could only eat it awkwardly, Su Linglong once again affectionately wiped the corners of Xiao Xia's mouth with her fragrant handkerchief, as if the two were really good sisters.
This made Xiao Xia confused, what is Su Linglong here for? Why is she so affectionate to herself, is there something she can't do? However, I have been tossed enough by my mother-in-law in the past few days, and my whole body is so sore that I can't lift my arms, I can't write, I can't express my meaning, I can only look at it and observe it tightly.
What surprised her even more was that in the next few days, every afternoon, Su Linglong would come to see her with all kinds of food, feed her melons and fruits and snacks affectionately, wipe her affectionately, and talk to her affectionately.
Even when she was training with a bowl, Su Linglong stood aside with a smile and talked to her grandmother, helping Xiao Xia say good things, and seemed to feel very sorry for Xiao Xia.
And the two seemingly iron-faced and selfless mothers-in-law actually sold her face, and then gradually replaced the big bowl with a small bowl, so that she didn't have to work so hard to practice walking with the bowl on her head.
But Xiao Xia was not happy because of this, and his doubts were even worse. (To be continued.) )
