Chapter 55: Upbringing
Mingzhu and Mingya share a courtyard, but Zhang's boudoir is still empty, and Zhang's sometimes brings his daughter over to stay for a few days.
"Sister, Cousin Qinglan asked me if I had ever entered the palace today, and it would be nice if I could enter the palace to see." Mingya lay on the kang and turned over mischievously.
Mingzhu took off her coat and leaned on her side, hugged her and gently groped her back, she nested like a cat, squinting and humming comfortably.
"She wants to go into the palace to see something, but there is no reason for our family to take her into the palace, she can only beg the second aunt, I hope you can help say something and take her, but it is useless for him to go." Mingzhu smiled and whispered, and everyone in the palace had a pair of snobbish eyes.
"I know, I didn't dare to agree, besides, what's so good in the palace, there are rules everywhere, how can it be compared to being at home at ease. I don't want it. He asked me several times. Mingya pouted a little unhappily.
Mingzhu chuckled, "Cousin Qinglan is not easy, she is in the second room and one level lower than Qinglian, but fortunately, I see that the second lady is more relaxed than the eldest lady." ”
"Although the eldest aunt is a little mean, she is very simple, but the second aunt is very shrewd inside, and Cousin Qinglan may not marry better than the eldest cousin in the future." Although Mingya is small, she is not stupid, and the Zhang family will not teach her daughter to be a simple fool, not to mention that she spends most of her time in front of the old lady during the day.
Mingzhu couldn't help but kiss her delicate and soft little sister, "My sister is just smart, and she can see through a little." Qinglan is more radical than Qinglian, but she looks down on the gentle and indisputable Qinglian, and is even more jealous of Lingyun, who lacks nothing but is favored, and this temperament is not good. ”
Mingya was a little ignorant, as if she didn't understand, "I prefer the eldest cousin and the third cousin, I don't like the second cousin very much, the second cousin is sometimes a little embarrassing." ”
In fact, the three cousins are very good to her, even Sister Lingyun, who is younger than her, plays with her very well, and she will share her with anything, and she doesn't eat alone.
When Mingzhu was playing outside today, she also found that Qinglan was a little too violent, too flattering, but she didn't get a good impression, and she was far less fair and gentle than Qinglian, which had something to do with Qinglian's own personality.
"I saw it, she poured you tea." Mingzhu raised her lips and smiled, a little funny.
Ming Ya propped up half of her body with her arms, and said with a little embarrassment: "Yes, my cousin, the third sister and the second sister are all next to me, so she brought a glass of water to me alone, which made me so embarrassed. It's not the first time she's been like this.,The last time I came, I was alone.,It's the style of her maid's new work.,It's good to take a few more.,Just one doesn't know who to give it to.,My cousin turned around angrily and left.,Make me blush.,Oh, hey, hey......! ”
Mingya lay down weakly, with a helpless and complaining face.
Mingzhu laughed when she heard it, and the flowers and branches of laughter trembled.
Mingya pouted and scratched her armpits unhappily, "Don't laugh, bad sister isn't allowed to laugh." ”
"Okay, stop laughing. I told you that no one taught her with her heart, in fact, the method was wrong, and it was not impossible to please people, but it was necessary to pay attention to methods and methods. For example, let the maid bring a few more glasses of water, please drink together, wipe your sweat or something alone to show you closer, you can't always eat alone for you, that is too ugly, and it will not make others able to get off the stage.
In the future, you should also pay attention to this when you go out to make friends, it doesn't matter who you are better with, but you can't let other friends lose face, that is, you have a grudge. For example, if you give a gift, you can choose a few more different colors, please choose together, the gift of the concubine is to be separated, it can not be so obvious, such as the distinction between exquisite and extravagant, such as the difference between Western and gemstones, so that everyone can get by on their faces. ”
Mingya is Mingzhu's sister-in-law, she prefers Mingya's cleverness and sensibility, and she usually takes the opportunity to say a few more words.
"Well, I remember, if you encounter such a thing, you can also give yourself something you made yourself, or hand-embroidered purses or handkerchiefs, or other delicate things to distinguish it, and you can't slap people in the face. If you send something to the maid, you can let your personal maid send it, and you don't have to go, right, sister? Mingya raised her little face and asked for a compliment.
Mingzhu happily kissed her forehead, "Yes, my sister is the smartest, and she must also pay attention to methods, she can't be as ugly as your second cousin, but she can't make people laugh if she doesn't talk about it." ”
"Well, I also feel embarrassed, I prefer my eldest cousin, who has a gentle temper and a tough personality, and treats people fairly and gently, and Sister Lingyun is also more willing to talk to her eldest cousin."
"Well, it's good to keep it in your eyes and heart, you can't treat anyone specially, otherwise they will hate you."
"I know, my mother reminded me." Mingya is not stupid, everything that should be understood is understood.
"Sleep, I'll get up in the afternoon to practice calligraphy." Mingzhu touched her head and smiled lovingly.
A few people took a nap, Mingzhu took Mingya up, washed her face and began to practice calligraphy, Jiaxuan and Jiazhen also ran over, laughing and writing together.
They were writing that Qinglian and Qinglan were also over, and Qinglan also brought a few snacks, and stepped forward with a smile, "Sister Mingzhu, fourth sister, I brought you some snacks, eat some and then write." ”
Qinglian rolled her eyes helplessly, but she didn't say anything, this sister has a big idea, and she never listens to her own persuasion.
Jia Xuan and Jia Zhen looked at her a little inexplicably, what does it mean to leave our two sisters alone?
The Shangguan family treats the girls with the same upbringing, except for Mingzhu, who has more status in the family, the other girls have about the same degree of food and clothing, and the extra ones are also subsidized by their own mothers, and others are not greedy.
Jiaxuan vaguely knew that it was not easy for a concubine, but she had never really been suppressed, and she had no real feelings.
"Fourth sister, don't write it, you don't need to practice very much when you're young, your body bones haven't grown yet, it doesn't matter if you don't write for a day or two, my sister brought you a snack, it's a small snack in Jiangnan, you can taste it." Qinglan put the dim sum on the small kang table, smiling and chattering while fiddling.
Mingya looked up at Mingzhu and saw that her sister was still concentrating on writing, Mingya shrugged her shoulders and continued to bow her head and began to write, Jiaxuan and Jiazhen didn't move, and they didn't invite them, so don't eat your things.
The four sisters didn't pay attention to her, Qinglan looked very embarrassed, her face turned red, she was a little embarrassed to stand in the room, she didn't know how to put her hands and feet, she just felt that the maids in the house were also laughing at her.
Qinglian was also a little helpless when she saw this, although she was tired of the second sister's set of methods that couldn't be put on the table, but her sister couldn't let her be embarrassed.
"My sister is really hard-working, my words are not as good as you, and I don't seem to be able to practice well, I feel powerless, I practice Xiaokai, and my sister practices willow body, right?" Qinglian stood next to Mingzhu and interrupted her speech, so as not to make Qinglan too embarrassed.
Mingzhu finished writing the last pen before he sighed and raised his head and said: "Well, I practice willow body and thin gold body, I like this, Xiaokai also practices." His words were faint, staring intently at his words, not remembering Qinglan's invitation just now.
"I didn't expect my sister to be so powerful, the willow body and the thin gold body are not easy to learn, I only learned the one of Xiaokai, and I didn't dare to be greedy for fear of the four things I learned." Qinglian grinned and quipped.
