Chapter 52: Joy and Sorrow

Old Madam Chu was so happy that she couldn't help but smile at the mother-in-law and maidservant in the house.

You must know that Old Madam Chu has not been so happy for a long time. Since Xie Nian had such a thing, the old lady has been unable to eat and sleep, plus her aunt and grandmother are sick, although the old lady can't see anything on her face, but careful people find that the old lady Chu seems to have aged a few years overnight, and her temples have been stained with a little gray.

Mrs. Chu is nearly fifty years old, and since Uncle Chu got married, many things have gradually been let go, and in recent years, she has been taking care of herself.

But since my aunt and grandmother were seriously ill, Mrs. Chu began to do many things by herself again, and these days she is even more laborious, and it is rare to have such a happy time. Even with the people who served in the old lady's house, life was a little trembling. It is rare that the arrival of Miss Biao can make the old lady so happy, and the mother-in-law in the house will naturally not be stingy with praise for Xie Ke.

Here it is said that Miss Biao is beautiful, and there is that Miss Cousin is smart and unparalleled...... Old Mrs. Chu was very kind, and she was not angry at all because of the overstepping of the mothers-in-law in the house, but looked Xie Ke up and down with the mother-in-law who served refreshments beside her, and discussed what style of autumn clothes would be more suitable for Xie Ke.

"Miss Cousin is born white, and the slave maid looks best in light pink...... As for the appearance...... Let's make six or eight gong skirts. ”

"That's a good offer. We are old, and if we make gong skirts, we will inevitably be ridiculed by others, saying that the old goblin wants to dress up as a little daughter-in-law. The baby girl is still small, and the gong skirt is fitting, so let's make eight pieces. As for the color...... Light pink, moon white, ice blue each set is good. ”

The mother-in-law said that the old lady Chu was as beautiful as in the past, and praised the old lady for her vision.

The joy on Old Madam Chu's face became stronger and stronger.

Seeing that the hour was not early, Mrs. Chu ordered the meal to be set, and the mothers-in-law quickly collected the needles and threads on the low table, but with half a pillar of incense, they had already placed a table full of delicacies. "Bao girl, Brother Qi'er, you don't have to be restrained today, just accompany my wife and son to dinner." Later, he instructed the maid to send a letter to Erfang and Cheng, telling them that he had left Xie Ke and Chu Qiyan for dinner.

"In this case, the grandson disturbed the grandmother." Chu Qiyan got up like a little adult and saluted Old Madam Chu.

Old Madam Chu scolded with a smile. "You're a boy, and you're still so far away from your grandmother. You look at Sister Bao, she is not as particular as you. This table of delicious food can't stop your mouth, so I have to tell you Lao Tzu that he raised a son who is not soaked in oil and salt. Chu Qiyan couldn't help but show astringency, and his voice was a little flattering. Grandmother, Sister Bao is still there. The implication is to save him some face. Old Madam Chu laughed.

said to the mother-in-law beside him.

"Don't look at Brother Qi's young age, he already knows that he wants to save face, okay, grandmother won't make fun of you. Grandmother knows you're a good person. Grandmother just told you that this ceremony...... If you talk to outsiders, your family doesn't have to be like this. Your mother is too concerned about these things, and she needs to know what is lost and what is harvested. Bao girl, my grandmother also wants to tell you this, you have always been the daughter of the Xie family, and you will return to Jian'an after all. My grandmother only wants you not to grow up like your mother. You need to know that it's too late......" Xie Ke and Chu Qiyan couldn't help but nod in unison.

"Alright, let's eat quickly." Old Madam Chu smiled and raised her chopsticks.

Mrs. Chu is very disciplined in her meals, and she only eats three bites of all dishes. No matter how much you like it, you won't have more chopsticks.

Although Old Madam Chu said that she didn't have to worry about the rules tonight, let Xie Ke let go of her stomach and eat. But the rules raised by Mama Cheng played a role in a timely manner, coupled with what Xie Ke learned in his previous life.

Old Madam Chu secretly looked at Xie Ke while eating, sometimes twisting her eyebrows and sometimes stretching. This table etiquette is actually quite exquisite, how to put down chopsticks, how to use rice, and even how many grains of rice are eaten in each bite, Mrs. Chu is naturally used to it, but she didn't expect Xie Ke to do it well, seeing such a villain with such a regular meal, it should be very strange.

But Xie Ke is so slow and methodical, but it is pleasing to the eye.

is not pretentious at all, as if this rule was brought from the mother's womb...... "Bao girl, where did the rules at the dinner table come from." After dinner, the meal was withdrawn, and the little maid served tea, and the old lady Chu asked.

"It was taught by Mama Cheng at home."

Old Madam Chu couldn't help but be shocked. Before her daughter got married, she had sent someone to inquire about Xie's, and at that time she knew that Xie had a Cheng Mama, who was Mrs. Xie's companion, and had been with Mrs. Xie for decades.

After that, many people in Jian'an sent people to invite Mama Cheng to teach their daughters.

Anyone who has been taught by Mama Cheng will be praised by her husband's family after marrying.

It can be seen that Mama Cheng is a very face-saving old man in the Xie family, although she is a subordinate, she is highly respected, and she is equivalent to half of the master.

Mrs. Xie actually asked Mama Cheng to teach Sister Bao in person? Old Madam Chu was very surprised, although Sister Bao was the daughter of the Xie family, but Old Madam Xie was not like a sympathetic person. If Sister Bao is stupid, she is holding the name of her daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Xie will not pay much attention to it.

What's more, Sister Bao is only five years old.

I actually taught Mama Cheng herself...... I think that the Xie family values Sister Bao very much, but after three letters to the family, the Xie family did not respond, is there something wrong? Old Madam Chu couldn't help but think to herself......

Old Madam Chu was looking at Xie Ke, and Chu Qiyan was also looking at Xie Ke.

He is one year old when he is a little Chu, but in the Chu clan, he has always been praised by the elders of the clan for being a small ghost. This is thanks to his mother. His mother taught him to know etiquette and observe etiquette from an early age.

His mother told him that Sister Bao was his sister and that he wanted to protect her.

You can't have a mind about Sister Bao'er. He didn't understand what was going on beside him...... I just think Sister Bao is so beautiful, beautiful that he has never seen before.

couldn't help but blushed slightly, Chu Qiyan's face turned red...... At this moment, a maidservant girl broke into the flower hall in a panic. "Old lady, old lady...... Oh no......" "There are no rules for such a frightened person." Without waiting for Mrs. Chu to reprimand, the mother-in-law serving in the house had already opened her mouth to scold.

The servant girl shuddered.

Fell to his knees with a thud...... "Old lady, just now Miss Cousin's nurse Cheng Shi came to report, saying that it was Miss, Miss...... I'm afraid it's not good......"

Bang.

It was the sound of the Diancui teacup in Xie Ke's hand falling to the ground.

Mother......

"What do you say? My clouds...... Yun'er ......" Old Madam Chu was shocked, and she couldn't speak clearly. "Grandmother, my mother is fine, my mother must be fine. I accompanied my grandmother to see my mother's ...... Grandmother, don't worry. Xie Ke stabilized his mind and persuaded Old Madam Chu, even if she was shaking like a leaf in the wind at this time.
