"What does the big girl do on weekdays?" After entering the garden, Mrs. Ping and Miao Yue'e were not as nervous as they were to the old lady, Mrs. Ping seemed more lively, and the smile on Miao Yue'e face became a little sincere.

Shu Manyao shook his head a little embarrassed: "I just went to the school to listen to Mr. give a lecture before, and after I came back, I embroidered or something, and there was no other ......" After a pause, he showed a somewhat embarrassed smile: "I don't like to do anything else." ”

"I'm like this on weekdays, but you're listening to your husband's lectures, and I'm lecturing to others, and after I go back, I'll also be some female celebrities by myself." Mrs. Ping said with a smile, stretched out her hand and pulled Shu Manyao: "It seems that the two of us are really fateful, and we do the same thing to pass the time." ”

Miao Yue'e glanced at Mrs. Ping, and asked with a smile: "Why did the eldest girl suddenly think of learning calligraphy and painting?" ”

Shu Manyao's face was slightly red, pinching her fingers, and she didn't speak for a long time, Miao Yue'e said with a smile: "Big girl, don't be nervous, let's just talk and chat, the weather is so good today, let's just say a few words casually." ”

Shu Manyao looked at Miao Yue, although she was still a little embarrassed, but her expression was slightly relaxed: "I have also read books such as poetry and pairs on weekdays, but I found that I am not very good at these. ”

Pursing her lips, Shu Manyao pinched the handkerchief and said slowly: "I heard that writing can calm the mind, painting can make people sensitive, and you can see more things, so ......"

Miao Yue'e nodded, and said with a smile: "That's right, writing is definitely able to concentrate and meditate, and painting, is to observe carefully, I see that the eldest girl is demure, and she will definitely be able to achieve something in this regard." ”

"I'm not looking for anything big." Shu Manyao plucked up her courage, looked at Miao Yue'e, lowered her head again, and pinched the corner of her clothes embarrassedly: "It's just to pass the time on weekdays......"

To be honest, Shu Manyao really didn't think he had any talent in this area. Whether it is in this life or the previous life, she and Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu go to school together, and the two are always better, no matter what Mr. says, she can draw inferences immediately.

Although the old lady didn't like them to learn poetry and the like, since the husband wanted to teach, the old lady would not stop her. As a result, Shu Manyao was even more embarrassed, Mr. talked about rhyme, and Shu Manyao looked confused. Mr. said plainly, Shu Manyao looked puzzled.

Shu Manjin can compose poems in one year, and Shu Manyu is a little worse, but he can also pair sentences. Only Shu Manyao, the allusion is in front of her, she can tell what it is, but let her write poems and lyrics, it is simply fatal.

What's more, Shu Manyao fell to that point later in his previous life, and he didn't have the opportunity to touch pen and paper at all, let alone have the opportunity to practice in private. In this life, I also came up with the idea of learning for other reasons, talent or something, it's hard to say.

"This mentality of the big girl is actually very haode." Without waiting for Miao Yue'e to speak, Mrs. Ping smiled first: "If you don't study with the purpose of becoming famous, you will have a broader horizon, and I agree with the idea of the eldest girl." ”

Second Mrs. Cao was silent all the way, only listening to a few of them.

Shu Manyao slowly circled with them, and at the same time figured out the temperament of Mrs. Ping and Miao Yue. Mrs. Ping is quick-witted and cheerful, but she is also a little good at drilling. And Miao Yue, who doesn't like to talk very much, is a little silent, and always has a feeling of being preoccupied.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages. However, Shu Manyao had already made up her mind in her heart, and at this time, she didn't hesitate much, and seeing that the time was almost up, she invited Mrs. Ping and Mrs. Cao Er to go back.

The old lady asked them to make snacks, and when she saw them coming back, she said a few more polite words, and then packed a few snacks and sent Mrs. Cao and them away.

"Man Yao, which gentleman do you think is better?" When the people left, the old lady called Shu Manyao to her side to ask, and Shu Manyao hesitated for a moment before saying: "If it is about knowledge, the two gentlemen have their own strengths, and the granddaughter can't say whether it is good or bad." If she said anything else, her granddaughter felt that Mrs. Miao was more angry with her granddaughter. ”

The old lady frowned slightly: "Mrs. Miao is a person who doesn't like to talk, and you are also reluctant to speak, I originally thought that if it was Mrs. Ping, maybe you would be influenced by her, and you would be able to talk and laugh more, but you actually like that Mrs. Miao more." ”

Shu Manyao leaned against the old lady and did not speak. The old lady was also a little hesitant, whether to ask her granddaughter for Mr., if she didn't like it, then she would feel uncomfortable, and the same as before, she would shrink back if she was a little unsatisfactory, and she didn't say a word, which made people anxious.

However, that Mrs. Miao is indeed not as eloquent as Mrs. Ping.

Just thinking about it, the eldest maid Jin Ling opened the curtain and came in, and saluted the old lady with a smile: "Madame has brought the second girl and the third girl over, do you want to see the old lady?" ”

The old lady nodded, and Jin Ling hurriedly went to open the curtain herself. Xu smiled brightly, entered the door and saluted the old lady, and asked Shu Manyao a few more words, and then sat down: "Did my mother choose a gentleman for Manyao?" ”

"It's not decided yet, what do you want to do here?" The old lady took a sip of the teacup, Xu glanced at Shu Manyao, and said with a smile: "Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder day by day, I think about making a few winter clothes for Manyao and her sisters." The sewing room in our house is busy with other things, so I want to invite the embroidery lady of Chen Kee Garment Shop to measure it, what do you think, old lady? ”

The old lady had no opinion at all: "You are very thoughtful, our family is not the one who has no money, there are only three girls in the family, and they have to dress up beautifully." Since you invited the embroiderer, then I will come out of this fabric. ”

After thinking for a while, he turned his head and asked Jinhuan: "I remember, I still have a few silk brocades here, you go and take them out and let their sisters pick them out." ”

Xu hurriedly got up: "Mother, that one is too precious, their sisters are still young, I'm afraid they can't suppress the brocade." ”

"It's for winter coats, and it's not in the way." The old lady waved her hand indifferently: "Besides, this fabric, no matter how valuable it is, is still in vain, so it is better to make clothes for people to wear." ”

After a pause, the old lady hesitated a little: "If I remember correctly, after a while, the wife of Lord Zuo will celebrate her fortieth birthday?" ”

Xu nodded: "Mother's memory is good, Mrs. Zuo's birthday is the eighth day of November, I plan to take all three of their sisters to see, Mrs. Zuo is a kind person, Mrs. Zuo also has a daughter, and in the past, she was also very good with Man Jin and Man Yu, it just so happened that Man Yao had been bored in the house for so long, and let Man Jin and them introduce a few more good sisters to Man Yao." ”

"That's right." The old lady clapped her hands and said very happily: "Since you have made clothes, and by the way, you can also make a new set of jewelry, Ming'er, you called the people from Zhenbaozhai to come over, and let them send a booklet of new jewelry, and I will order a set for each of their sisters." ”

"How to make my mother break the bank, my daughter-in-law is ready." Xu Shi hurriedly said: "When my mother celebrated her birthday before, my daughter-in-law asked my sister-in-law to order two sets of jewelry for each of their sisters, and the remaining set is just going to be sent over today. ”

The old lady was even more satisfied with Xu's family, Shu Manyao smiled on her face, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, even if she wanted to bite Xu's to death, she had to admit that Xu's previous life was so successful, not only because she was lucky, but more importantly, Xu's was smart enough.

You see, she can handle anything properly before the old lady mentions it, even a shrewd person like the old lady has never seen the true face of the Xu family, and she is very relieved to hand over all things to the Xu family.

Even if something like that happened in her previous life, everyone, including herself, felt that she had done something wrong, lived up to the old lady's upbringing, and lived up to her father's love, so that she did such an ugly thing.

If it weren't for Cao Wei Zuihou telling such a truth, even she wouldn't have thought that the Xu family would be able to lurk for more than ten years, right?

"The pearl jewelry you had made for their sisters last time was pretty good." The old lady smiled and said, "I must have spent a lot of money, but what kind of jewelry did I make this time?" ”

Xu Shi said a little embarrassed: "This time I made gold head noodles, and it didn't cost much silver, so don't worry about it." ”

"You don't have much money in your hand, so you can get ahead in everything." The old lady said with a smile, and turned her head and instructed Duan Huan: "Go and bring the hibiscus hairpin in the drawer on my dresser." ”

said, and turned his head to look at Xu's again: "This hibiscus hairpin is for you, I'm so old, I can't bring that color, you bring it just right." ”

"That's your most beloved ......" Xu hurriedly said, the old lady waved her hand: "No matter how beloved, it can't compare to the relationship between our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. With that dress, it looks even better. ”

The smile on Xu's face deepened: "Mother likes it, I wore that dress that day, with this hibiscus hairpin." ”

As he was talking, the mother-in-law beside Xu's side came over: "The people from Zhenbaozhai sent three sets of head noodles, do you want to see it?" ”

Xu nodded, and the mother-in-law led the maids beside Xu's side in, and the three maids each carried a tray, on which were placed with heads, small as hair, as large as stepping, a set of J □ J pieces. They are all made of red gold and set with various colored gemstones.

However, the patterns of the three sets of head faces are not the same. One set is a gorgeous peony pattern, one set is a fine plum blossom pattern, and the other set is a butterfly wearing a flower pattern.

Xu Shi first asked people to bring it to the old lady, so that the old lady was too eyed, and then smiled: "You three sisters, each choose a set, and then bring this jewelry to Mrs. Zuo's birthday." ”
