Chapter 253: Phenomenon and Essence

What kind of skill is Xia Xiaodong now?! As soon as I heard Lu Yunfang's words, I immediately understood.

Are you ready to enjoy the lanterns? Naturally, it means that the clothes and jewelry are ready, and then, of course, it will be led to the diamond hairpin.

Why didn't this eldest sister Lu Yunfang grow up.

In fact, even Lu Yunxin understood, pursed her lips slightly, and wrinkled her little nose at Xia Xiaodong, meaning to let Xia Xiaodong ignore Lu Yunfang.

Xia Xiaodong looked behind Lu Yunfang, and did not see Su Su, but another maid stood with her eyebrows lowered and her hands lowered, looking not tall, with soft eyebrows and eyes, but it was another family member of the criminal officer that Lu Yunfang bought that day, and now her name is Aqi.

I don't know how she stirred up trouble just now, and even Fleur refused to say good things about her.

Lu Yunfang's hobby is really good, and I probably feel that I have a special feeling psychologically by calling the former official lady as a maid.

Of course, the obvious reason is that Su Su and Ah Qi are familiar with the rules - they used to be the enforcers of the rules, and they have a good upbringing.

"Thank you, sister, for remembering." Xia Xiaodong smiled with a gentle attitude that was not inferior to Lu Yunfang: "It's almost ready." Anyway, when the time comes, you have to come to the old lady first, and naturally there will be the ancestors to check it. ”

As he spoke, he slipped into Mrs. Lu's face.

Even if Xia Xiaodong and Lu Yunxin can understand something, how can Mrs. Lu not understand? If Mrs. Lu is unwilling to go in the direction of Lu Yunfang, she will naturally lead her to go elsewhere.

Sure enough, Mrs. Lu smiled when she heard this: "When the time comes, I can just say yes." Don't expect a whole ragged body of clothes and bad jewelry to count my good things. ”

The old lady is joking, who dares not to laugh?

Everyone laughed along, and Fleur joked beside her: "Miss Xia is a good figure that looks good in everything, and a good color that looks good in everything." Although the ancestor put his heart in his stomach, I will keep all the good things, lock them tightly, and never let Miss Xia get them. ”

"That's right," Mrs. Lu laughed and followed Furong's words, "When you go back, remember to give me the key to the lock, and wait for me to tie it to my wrist." ”

Lu Yunfang looked at the old lady and then at Xia Xiaodong, and finally laughed twice, responded a few words, and did not dare to mention the matter of the diamond hairpin again.

For a while, Lu Yunsheng and others came over one after another, and the maid came to ask where the dinner was, and the old lady shrank her feet and said with a smile: "If you are too lazy to move today, let's set up a table here." ”

Eat without saying a word.

In fact, the so-called food does not speak, which can be divided into several levels. Ordinary people just don't talk when they have food in their mouths. Otherwise, it is easy to choke, and secondly, food crumbs will inevitably fall indecently.

Strict people don't speak from the time they pick up the chopsticks to the time they put them down. It's really about respecting others – you can't do two things at the same time. Even if you don't have anything in your mouth, it's not appropriate to talk to someone while you're picking out or even flipping through the dishes.

No matter how strict people are, they don't speak during the whole meal. Because even if you don't have chopsticks in your hand and don't eat, maybe the other person is picking up or is about to pick up chopsticks to eat? Speaking can be inconvenient for others - while eating, it is indecent to answer your words, and it seems rude not to answer your words.

With so many times and places, when can't you find another place to talk to people, and you have to rush to eat? It's better not to talk for the whole meal.

The Lu family's implementation of food is quite thorough, not only is there silence when eating, but even the sound of tableware hitting rarely appears.

Xia Xiaodong's skills in this area are average, after all, he has not been trained since childhood, so he can only make up for his clumsiness with slowness, eating slowly and watching coldly.

In the past, only Mrs. Lu had Furong to serve, and the girls didn't need to be served, but now that Ah Qi stood quietly beside Lu Yunfang, reaching out from time to time and quietly moving the plate containing the dishes.

Lu Yunfang looked satisfied, obviously the dish that Ah Qi moved over was exactly what she liked to eat.

It seems that Lu Yunfang's strategy is to start with the subtleties and show the difference between the outstanding sisters.

But what is her ultimate purpose in doing this?

Xia Xiaodong slowly chewed a few soybeans in the red stewed pork ribs, trying to develop the habit of seeing the essence through the phenomenon.

Lu Yunfang is about to get married, if she doesn't go out of the door and only embroiders the dowry in her yard, it will not cause any criticism, and even in many people's homes, this is the standard practice.

But the Lu family is different from others.

The Lu family took the route of relatives, and it was the route of relatives who did not seek power but only profit. Therefore, there is no patriarchal meaning, and the girls in the family are particularly precious.

In addition to the importance of etiquette and rules, there is also a boudoir school that invites special teaching, and intends to involve girls in family affairs and even business. Even if you get married, you still have a close connection with the Lu family, and you have to become a good helper for the queen or concubine in the palace.

Then, now Lu Yunfang's various things, it is not necessarily that she really cares about a hairpin, or that she has to have a maid to serve her to eat a meal, so as to appear more decent, but she wants to show that I have the ability to suppress other sisters and establish my own rules.

This also means that after marrying into her husband's family, she can also control the inner house to a certain extent. In this way, of course, it will help the relationship between the in-laws and families to become closer.

Xia Xiaodong didn't know if these ideas were Lu Yunfang's own thoughts, or if someone else gave them to her, anyway, ......, it didn't seem to be very successful.

Didn't you see Mrs. Lu's eyelids and didn't even look at her?

As is customary, after dinner, the old lady is ready to go to bed, and everyone takes their leave.

Since the incident between the Mao steward and Geng Niangzi, Lu Yunjie has never appeared in front of Xia Xiaodong again, and Lu Yunsheng also has a word or two, so he hurriedly said hello and left first.

Xia Xiaodong and Lu Yunzhi slowly fell behind, and deliberately gathered with Lu Yunxin.

The diamond thing, I'm afraid it won't be revealed. Xia Xiaodong felt that it was better to ask Lu Yunxin first.

After eating her stomach, Lu Yunxin seemed to be much better. Lu Yunzhi grabbed her and said with a smile: "I heard Furong say it first, saying that you and Sister Yunfang are facing each other again." What's going on, is it still the hairpin? ”

"Hmph," Lu Yunxin's playful little nose wrinkled, pointed to Lu Yunfang, who had walked away and could only see the faint lantern, and said with a smile: "I think Sister Yunfang will let the people around her eat sooner or later." It's a shame that she still thinks one or two are really for her. Where do you get so much worthless sincerity! ”

It turned out that the cause of the incident was very simple, it was just because Lu Yunfang brought a new maid.
