Chapter 44: Why Did She Get Here?

P.S.: I'm sorry, I went to the hospital to see a friend, I came back late.

Another: I originally promised to add a change today, but now it's a little difficult. But in the next few days, I will make up for the promise as soon as possible.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I listen to the eldest brother, anyway, where the eldest brother is, Yao'er will go." Shu Yao looked at Shu Jie seriously, "As long as there is no damage to the eldest brother and Wen'er."

Shu Yao really didn't want to have any more involvement with those people in Xia Mansion, but Mother Liu was right, it is not a good reputation to take the initiative to give up the family, and the eldest brother and Wen'er will have a future in the future, which will become a "weakness" for them to be criticized and even attacked.

Also, the eldest brother died tragically in his previous life, and I heard that it was the second son of the fifth grandfather who took the risk of collecting his body for him and took him back to Yulin Town to be buried next to his father's grave. It was also a little girl from a clan who worked as a maid in Kyori who managed to bring her the news of her eldest brother's death and relics. There are still many people in the Xia family who value love and righteousness.

Shuwen nodded in agreement with Shu Yao's words: "Wen'er also listens to the eldest brother, so I am not afraid of the uncle." ”

On the second day, Shujie went to the patriarch's house, and when he came back, he told his younger siblings that he had negotiated with the patriarch and the clan elders, and the ancestral hall would be opened on the first day of the next month to enter the family tree.

What makes Shu Yao particularly happy is that Mother Liu is a master of embroidery, especially good at double-sided embroidery, so there is no need to ask the embroidery lady to teach her.

Mother Liu turned out to be an embroidered girl in the south of the Yangtze River, who entered the palace at the age of sixteen, and later entered the eyes of the queen, and she was smart and witty, and she was promoted step by step to become a female official of Kunning Palace. But in the palace of open and secret fighting, honor and risk coexist, in the month of last year, for the interests of the queen's faction, Liu's mother almost died, thanks to Jin Xida happened to bump into it, and rescued her, which avoided a catastrophe, but she still lost her body.

The queen thanked Liu's mother for her loyalty and great contributions, and authorized her to retire early, and was promoted to "palace grandmother" and stayed in Kunning Palace to be honored. It just so happened that Jin Xida wanted to find a reliable nurturing mother for Shu Yao, so she found her.

Mother Liu herself likes embroidery very much, and when she saw that Shu Yao's embroidered handkerchief was very good, it was not at all like what a six-year-old girl embroidered by a little girl who had just learned, and she sighed with emotion about Shu Yao's embroidery talent, and was naturally very willing to teach Shu Yao. Besides, embroidery is something that a boudoir woman should learn hard, and it is also her duty to teach her mother.

Shu Yao's own embroidery is very exquisite, but embroidery is a broad and profound art, and each school has its own characteristics and skills. For example, Shu Yao's embroidery method belongs to the "northern school", which is gorgeous, and Liu's mother is the authentic southern style embroidery method in the south of the Yangtze River, which is lively and beautiful, especially the use of threads, not revealing stitches, embroidered birds, fish and insects are particularly delicate and realistic, not to mention the double-sided embroidery that Shu Yao has admired for a long time.

In addition to embroidery, Shu Yao now has to follow Liu's mother to learn etiquette rules and behave in the world. Clothing, food, housing and transportation, there are places to pay attention to and learn everywhere.

Although Shu Yao has no desire for famous families and high society in her life, she still wants to study hard. Good rules and etiquette are the guarantee of a person's inner upbringing and external image, which makes one's soul peaceful, physically and mentally happy, and also makes others look pleasing to the eye and feel comfortable.

In her previous life, it wasn't until she lived in the Marquis Mansion of Weiyuan that she realized what the real family cultivation was, which was a gesture between gestures and nobility in her bones.

The real "noble" is not so simple to say, in addition to the innate quality and the subtle factors of the family environment, it also needs to be studied hard, cultivated, and trained, otherwise it will become a showcass without looking, and it is easy to reveal its true nature.

For example, the Xiao Ding family and Murong Zhi of Murong Shangshu Mansion are just in big households, at best they are only "rich", not "noble" at all. Occasionally, it's okay to pretend, and standing with a real family woman with good cultivation like Mrs. Weiyuan Marquis, she immediately fell behind.

Liu's mother is also very strict with Shu Yao, although the girl grew up in the market, she can still see that she has a good foundation, and she is smart and studious, no worse than those girls of the same age who come out. And Shu Yao has an excellent eldest brother and younger brother, and Mother Liu has an intuition that these three children will not stay in this small town all the time, so she teaches Shu Yao completely according to the standards of a girl from a family.

After Liu's mother came, Shujie transferred the two daughters of Zhuangtou Zhang Quan, Da Niu and Erniu, to the yard, the eldest girl helped Aunt Mei with housework, and the second girl served Shu Yao closely.

Shu Yao moved to the house where Xia Linxuan and Donnie Yen lived before their deaths, and there were two rooms inside and outside, and the nest of Xiao Ling and Huohuo was placed in the outer room.

Shu Yao's original house was changed into a study, and the previous study was widened outward by beating the wall, and then divided into two cabins, one for the eldest girl and the second girl to live in, and the other for backup.

Shu Yao has been taught by Liu's mother, and in addition to learning and practicing martial arts by himself, Shujie focuses on teaching books. Shujie found that Shuwen was particularly gifted with numbers and arithmetic, and since taking the medicine according to Gao Mingde's prescription (the herbs were all placed in a mahogany box to increase his spirit), Shuwen's health has been getting better and better.

Now Shuwen has begun to learn martial arts with Shujie, of course, practicing basic skills, squatting and walking for half an hour every morning and evening.

The three brothers and sisters are busy studying, and time flies quickly, and the day of entering the family tree is about to come in a blink of an eye.

Of course, Shu Yao is a daughter, she can't enter the ancestral hall, and her name can't be included in the family tree, but the "Xia Family Chronicles" in the ancestral hall will add a stroke: "On the X year, X month, X day, the descendants Xia Linxuan and daughter-in-law Xia Zhen added a pair of twin children Xia Shuyao and Xia Shuwen. ”

The three brothers and sisters were listening to Mother Liu's lecture on the precautions for worshipping ancestors in the family tree, and the eldest girl came in and reported: "Young master, girl, there are a few people outside the door, saying that it is your aunt." ”

"Auntie? How did she get here? Didn't Mother Wu say that she couldn't work too hard to travel if she had a baby? Shu Yao's first reaction was that Xia Ruoyun was here, on such a hot day, how could that uncle Master Zhang be willing to let his aunt come in a carriage? Could it be that something happened?

Shujie was about to drive Shu Yao and Shuwen out of the hall when he heard Aunt Mei's voice: "Mrs. Sima, you go to the hall and sit down first, my young master and girl will come soon." Aunt Mei was angry at Xia Mansion's ruthlessness towards the three of Shujie, and now that she knew that Xia Linxuan's room had already come out, she didn't want to call Xia Ruoxue "aunt and grandmother" anymore.

Mrs. Sima? Xia Ruoxue? How did she get here?

Sure enough, Xia Ruoxue's voice soon came: "You take me to worship the second brother and sister-in-law first, but I don't even see the back side." Bailan, let them carry the things I brought to my nephews and nieces into the hall, but don't let them bask in the sun. There was a choked voice in his voice.

Shujie and the three of them glanced at each other, none of them had seen Xia Ruoxue, the eldest aunt, Xia Ruoxue would send someone to Yulin Town to Xia Mansion every year to send a New Year's gift, but they had never given their family a copper plate or a wire. They also heard that Xia Ruoxue had taken Xia Shuyao and Xia Shuqing to live in the Anguo Mansion in the capital for two or three months, and it was obvious that they "didn't remember" that there were three nephews and nieces in the second room.
