Chapter 35: Aunt Chang
After telling Dong'er, Liu Rong went to the plum garden, this freezing awakening and a series of things, but Liu Rong was the first to go to Aunt Chang.
The maid who was waiting in the house saw Liu Rong coming in and stepped forward quickly: "Don't make a sound, Aunt Chang doesn't like to be disturbed the most when she makes tea." ”
Liu Rong nodded, leaving Dong'er outside, before opening the bead curtain and walking into the inner room, she saw Aunt Chang sitting alone in front of a small table, slowly pouring the boiled water into the teacup.
Liu Rong couldn't help but think of the first time Aunt Chang was a guest, Aunt Chang was making tea at that time, and she still remembered that cup of flowering tea, even if she remembered it now, it was still amazing.
Thinking so, I couldn't help but step forward.
Compared with that day, today because of the close also see more clearly, the same is just brewed, only to see the tea leaves in the teacup at the beginning of the stick in one place like a flower bone, as the water temperature dissipated, gradually stretched, blooming a full camellia, but unfortunately about ten breath time, the camellia disappeared in the cup.
"Would you like to try this cup of tea?" Aunt Chang didn't know when she had looked up at her, because of these days of getting along, coupled with her modern habit of taking notes, Aunt Chang's attitude towards her was no longer as cold as the first time, but with a gentle smile.
Liu Rong nodded slightly embarrassedly, and took the tea from Aunt Chang's hand, which was green and sweet, it was her favorite big red robe, and she finished it after a while.
"I'll make you another drink." Without waiting for Liu Rong to put down the cup, Aunt Chang actually opened her mouth again, only to see that her speed of making tea this time was slower than before, taking tea, washing tea, and making tea in one go, but this cup of tea was not as beautiful as the previous cup of tea, a few pieces of tea floated on the teacup, looking at the taste of green mountains and lofty mountains, and she didn't feel abrupt, and her mood seemed to be a lot quieter.
"You taste it again." After waiting for a while, Aunt Chang handed her the tea.
Liu Rong took it and took a sip, her eyes were surprised, it was sweeter than before, and it was more comfortable to drink.
"Tea is like life, life is like tea, how do you feel when you drink these two cups of tea?" Aunt Chang finally looked at Liu Rong and spoke.
Liu Rong's mind unconsciously flashed the scene of the confrontation with the fourth sister Liu Fu that day, is this Aunt Chang instructing her?
Guessing in her heart, Liu Rong looked at Aunt Chang's gaze a little more seriously: "Aunt Chang thinks that I am the cup of tea before, although it blooms, it will not last long, and I am warned to be like the cup of tea in the back, although it is plain, it is sweet for a long time." ”
Aunt Chang showed a satisfied smile, in addition to being serious about his work, this child is also first-class in terms of understanding, but it's a pity......
"Why did Aunt Chang sigh, but what was wrong with what I said?" Liu Rong looked at Aunt Chang with some puzzlement.
"Since you know these truths, why are you still so sharp?" Aunt Chang didn't answer Liu Rong's words, but looked at Liu Rong curiously and continued to ask.
Liu Rong put down the purple sand cup in her hand and looked up at Aunt Chang: "I once heard a story about a couple who went to a foreign country to open a wine shop, and met a nearby store to find trouble, they thought that they were from other places, and more things were better than less things, so they softened their clothes, and as a result, more people came to find trouble, and the local ruffians came to collect money." ”
Liu Rong paused slightly as she spoke, and looked at Aunt Chang: "Aunt Chang, how do you guess this couple is the best?" ”
"They lost their money in the end, and they couldn't stay in that town, so they had to beg all the way home." Liu Rong didn't really mean to ask Aunt Chang to answer, so she didn't wait for Aunt Chang to say anything, so she told Aunt Chang the result.
Aunt Chang looked at Liu Rong for a long time, and shook her head slightly: "This truth is not wrong, but this is not a foreign country, it is the Marquis of Wending's mansion, you are the daughter of the Marquis of Wending's mansion, and this is your home." ”
Liu Rong was silent, for her, it was her home that showed kindness to her, and the people in this mansion, except for the Zhong family, she didn't feel any kindness.
"-for-tat may be able to gain momentum for a while, but after all, you need the support of the Marquis of Wending, and you can only have a good husband if you choose your husband's family in the future, and only if the elders like it. Even if you get married, if you don't have the support of your mother's family, you won't be able to stand in your husband's family. Aunt Chang looked at Liu Rong and said slowly: "You are a smart girl, you know what is good, that is, your mother, if you want to live a good life, you have to rely on the Marquis of Wending's mansion to succeed." ”
"If you can, try to get along with a few sisters, I think you are not only gentle to the sixth sister, but also cold to the people next to you, and when you get outside in the future, the sisters are your support." Aunt Chang looked at Liu Rong and said earnestly.
She understood what Aunt Chang said, and she also knew that what Aunt Chang said was not wrong in this world, but she had her own ideas.
The eldest grandmother only ascended to the position by stepping on her mother, which in itself determines the attitude of the eldest grandmother towards her, and it is absolutely impossible to ease, even if there is any opportunity, she will not leave her good ones if she chooses her husband's family in the future.
Because of the eldest grandmother, her status in the mansion will never be good, so these sisters naturally look down on her and have a good relationship with her. And she doesn't want to be far-fetched, and she doesn't bother to toss these things that she doesn't have, so naturally she can't extend any good relationships.
She is past the age of a child, and she can't force herself to be like a child and mingle with these people.
The results that have been determined, the irreconcilable contradictions, no matter how weak she is, and if she doesn't let people see their contradictions earlier, it will be really bad in the future.
At least now everyone knows that she has a bad relationship with the eldest grandmother, and the eldest grandmother is just for the sake of the face of the eldest grandmother of the Wending Marquis Mansion, and it is not easy to do it too obviously, this is the result she wants.
It's just that she can't tell Aunt Chang these thoughts about her, which can't be explained.
What's more, she never felt that she would not be able to survive in this era without the support of this family, and perhaps she would have a difficult time at the beginning, but she believed that a woman with ability, no matter what era she was in, could live on her own.
Even if, this is a world where men are superior to women and women are inferior, and the descendants are graded.
Although she thought so in her heart, Liu Rong was reluctant to brush an old man who had kindness to herself: "Xie Lu, Aunt Xie Chang, I will try my best to do my best." ”
After Liu Rong finished speaking, she listened to the sound of the bead curtain falling outside and stopped talking. The first to come was the eldest sister Liu Yun and the second sister Liu Ming, as soon as they entered the house, they happened to see Aunt Chang smiling kindly at Liu Rong, and the second sister's face immediately appeared disliked, but Liu Yun was still gentle, but unfortunately there was always a lack of atmosphere on her face.
Immediately, the sisters in the mansion came in one by one, and the fifth sister entered the house and saw that the second sister was unhappy, so she sat beside her.
The sixth sister didn't come today, saying that she had a cold, but she didn't know what to do.
Liu Xuan was still the last to arrive, and when she came in, she saw Liu Rong holding her head high, with a hint of martial power, but it made Liu Rong puzzled, but she didn't like Liu Xuan's self-centered temperament in everything, so she no longer paid attention to Liu Xuan.
Seeing that Liu Rong didn't care about herself at all, Liu Xuan's face became ugly, but when she turned her head to look at Aunt Chang, she immediately became respectful: "Aunt Chang is good." ”
After speaking, he found a place to sit down on the side, and only after Aunt Chang finished today's lesson did he stand up and speak: "Aunt Chang, there is a post from the Weibei Hou Mansion, let my mother take my sister-in-law and all the sisters to participate in the washing of the eldest grandson of the Hou of Weibei the day after tomorrow, let me inform me in advance, I am afraid that tomorrow's class will be stopped for a day." ”
didn't wait for Aunt Chang to speak, but the second sister's face was full of surprise: "Really, auntie?" I heard that the second son of Weibei Hou is known as one of the four princes of the capital, and he is much more brilliant than the prince, let's go to Weibei Hou's Mansion, can we also see him? ”
Aunt Chang frowned.
"Is this what one of your daughters should say?" Liu Xuan immediately reprimanded the second sister, but the second sister pouted.
Aunt Chang saw everything in her eyes and couldn't help but shake her head slightly, the family style of this Wending Marquis Mansion is really defeated, and the girls are all taught to be like this. When he saw Liu Rong's face was flat and there was no change, he bowed slightly, and then couldn't help but shake his head, but unfortunately, the only good child was not treated at home.
I'm afraid it won't be long before she sees the decline of a family.
But said that Aunt Chang was wrong, Liu Rong was anxious about what happened next, and she didn't pay attention to what Liu Xuan said at all, so she didn't react to Liu Xuan and the words of her second sister Liu Xuan, and her face was flat and unchanged, otherwise she would be full of curiosity.
You have to know that Lu Dao will stay for a while, she still has to go to remove the stitches for her second grandmother, and then she will draw the drawings to be taken to Zuo Tingxuan, and she is so busy that she has no time to take a break.
