Chapter 15: Learning Etiquette
It's just that Ling Wa'er doesn't know that the head of the Mu family is a man's etiquette, not a woman's.
"Okay, Ling'er good boy, sit down!" Mrs. Mu just smiled, took the initiative to walk up, pulled Ling to her left and sat down, no matter how you look at it, she is a good mother who loves her children. "Let's eat first, see how thin this kid is, I have to make up for it."
A large round table could seat at least a dozen people, but now only five people are seated. Mu Zongyuan at the main table, his son Mu Xuanchen on his right, and his wife Mrs. Mu on his left. On the side of the Wood Lady is the spirit, and on the side of the spirit is the rain.
"yes, let's eat!" Mu Zongyuan wanted to do something, he could have ignored Mrs. Mu, but if Mrs. Mu came forward, things would be easier to operate.
At dinner this time, everyone ate quickly without restraint. After all, Ling and Yu are two beggars, is it possible for you to want them to Dosven? It's a good thing that Thunder and Lightning aren't there, otherwise you'll see four people who are good at eating, like a small animal.
Fortunately, Ling and Yu are little girls, although there are some who can't be on the stage, but the other three people don't care about it at this time.
The head of the Mu family seems to be accustomed to it, only caring about his own food, and it seems that he is also hungry these days. Mu Xuanchen only thought that Ling Shuai was so cute, but he didn't think so.
It was rare for Mrs. Mu to dislike these two girls, but from time to time she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief for Ling and Yu. For Mrs. Mu, she is sincerely grateful to the master of the two children for saving her husband and son.
The most important thing is that today's Mu family master is a stranger to Mrs. Mu, but he is the husband she wants the most in her heart, and this happiness is so unexpected. The previous head of the Mu family wouldn't look at her at all, wouldn't call her Mrs., let alone talk to her well. often scolded Mrs. Mu for provoking trouble.
The first time I called the husband of the Mu family was when Mrs. Mu was wearing a red wedding robe. He still liked her very much at that time, after all, the young lady who came out of everyone would not be ugly, and she was even more beautiful and elegant.
Today's Mrs. Mu is not ugly, she is over thirty, but she still has an elegant and noble temperament. Although there are fine lines left by time, the face is very shallow. If you don't look closely, you can't see it at all, plus you have always been pure and have few desires, and you have a kind of charm of a mature woman.
Compared with those Mu family masters, the young but frivolous concubines are not much worse, let alone Mrs. Mu when she was young and beautiful.
It's just that later, the head of the Mu family always thinks that Mrs. Mu is too steady and boring, and she only knows how to follow the rules every day. She is a real lady, and she is still the kind of decent lady. And he is a prodigal, his family background is okay, and he looks good, and he is a son who has been favored since he was a child, and he likes women to take the initiative and women to be coquettish.
Not long after the marriage, the head of the Mu family lost interest in Mrs. Mu and never entered Mrs. Mu's room again. But one by one, the beautiful concubines and Jiaohua went to the house, and they hugged the concubines every day.
Mrs. Mu also gradually lost hope in the head of the Mu family, and she never stopped it under the education of her three subordinates and four virtuous wives and good mothers since she was a child. will only turn a blind eye, but it is impossible for those women to be pregnant with the bloodline of the Mu family, only this thing is her only bottom line, and she will never allow it.
In the face of the indifference of the head of the Mu family and the endless scolding, Mrs. Mu was deliberate and unaccustomed to it, and Mrs. Mu didn't care. She was cold and dead-hearted, and put all her thoughts on her son Mu Xuanchen, and never cared about other things.
It's just that Mu Zongyuan, who came back this time, has changed a little, and Mrs. Mu's heart that died early has a glimmer of hope.
Thinking about the days of so many years, Mrs. Mu has really suffered a lot of grievances, and tears are rolling in her eyes. She quickly shifted her thoughts and continued to wipe the mouths of the two girls.
In this way, Ling officially became the second lady of the Mu family, Mu Ling. At the age of seven, Ling experienced the chase and parting, and changed from a beggar to a young lady, which was also the biggest change in her life, a new life.
This seven-year-old is so different and unforgettable for the spirit. It's just that in another three years, in addition to the wood spirit, the spirit will have another identity, and life is so unpredictable.
What is even more unexpected is the action of Mu Zongyuan, the head of the Mu family, the next day. This prodigal son who can't do without women all day long, the old man who can only enjoy and leave him wealth by his family. unexpectedly dismissed all the concubines, and planned to start devoting himself to the great cause of martial arts and revitalizing the family.
This is really happy Mrs. Mu, she can be regarded as bitter and sweet, and she can see the moon when the clouds are open. Her husband is no longer the one who does nothing and only knows how to spend time drinking.
The head of the Mu family still sleeps in a separate room with Mrs. Mu as before, but the two husbands and wives respect each other like guests, and they respect Mrs. Mu a lot.
For the first time in many years, Mrs. Mu looks like a housewife, at least on the outside, she is harmonious.
The changes of the Mu family master are not only these, he practiced martial arts diligently, and in just two years, the Mu family has become one of the best sects in martial arts. All his enemies were wiped out, and another year passed, and Mu Zongyuan became the new leader of the martial arts alliance.
During the three years of this period, the head of the Mu family did countless good deeds, scattered his family wealth to rescue beggars, help women and children, and punish evil and promote good. As for where the rescued beggars went, no one knew except that they didn't have to be beggars anymore.
Who called it only three years, and the Mu family, which was once rich, has lost most of its financial resources, and it has become too simple. But fortunately, Mrs. Mu did not dislike her husband, but supported him wholeheartedly.
Also, what if the Mu family was rich in the past, the head of the Mu family only knew how to enjoy playing with women, and there was a villain. Now, although the Mu family is no longer rich enough to have oil, it is also passable, and the head of the Mu family has never taken a concubine. Now that he is the leader of the martial arts alliance, not to mention, the three words Mu Zongyuan are even more of a great hero admired by everyone on the rivers and lakes.
The only bad thing is that Mu Zongyuan's father died early, the old lady of the Mu family, Mu Zongyuan's mother. Seeing that his son had lost the family's money, he was so angry that he moved to the nunnery early to repair.
The old lady of the Mu family couldn't figure out how her son would be a different person when he came back this time, and he didn't pay attention to her at all. She has accumulated all the poison on her daughter-in-law, and she can't look down on this so-called adopted granddaughter, but she can't take her son.
It is really a good thing to be able to make the old lady angry in the nunnery this time. The Mu family is also peaceful, and I really hope that she will not come back.
In the past three years, the most troublesome thing is the spirit. For Mrs. Mu, Ling can ignore it completely, although Mrs. Mu will say that she is not sensible and should respect the old and love the young. But every time Mrs. Mu has nothing to do, the spirit continues to be her air.
Ling is not one of those beautiful women who are bullied, Mrs. Mu, she can't see it, so she won't hit the muzzle. was really caught by Mrs. Mu, she doesn't know martial arts, and if she continues to slip away, it's not a good thing.
The old lady Mu was so angry that she didn't make a lion's roar in three days, and she didn't ask Mrs. Mu to lecture her, because it was useless to find her son.
So, the Mu family will stage such a scene every day, and I don't know if Mrs. Mu is full of food, she really has nothing to do.
"You go and take care of that girl who has no elders, it's too unusual. I really don't know what you two think, bringing such a wild girl back is going to be angry for your mother! ”
Looking at the old lady Mu who was so angry that she almost smoked, in fact, Mrs. Mu was still a little cool in her heart. This old woman didn't play tricks before, if it weren't for her, the previous Mrs. Mu and Mu Zongyuan would not have stiffened to that point.
However, Mrs. Mu, who was extremely well-bred, still did not speak and continued to listen to Mrs. Mu's words.
"In the past, my family Zongyuan was so good and filial, but now I don't come to see my mother, I only know how to practice. It's all your broom star, and now you have all the other daughters-in-law on leave, and you won't give your mother a few more children. Just bring such a little beast back, the weather is a mother, and I really don't want to live for a mother. ”
••••••
This old lady Mu also said every day that she couldn't live and didn't want to live anymore, but she still lived well. Repeating those words over and over is actually used to being powerful and blessed in the past. Now no one pays attention to her, and she is looking for a sense of existence every day.
Mrs. Mu is really an absolute good wife and mother, so she can listen to her chatter every day. Now, with the strong support of Mu Zongyuan, she has really seized power from the old lady and is in charge of all the affairs of the Mu family. It is not easy to be so filial in front of this evil mother-in-law, Mrs. Mu, who is doing things.
Fortunately, the head of the Mu family didn't go to the old lady's dang again, and he didn't see it, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it. As for Ling, it can also be seen that Mrs. Mu is just talking about Ling, and she doesn't really want her to change, and even spoils Ling.
Not to mention Mu Xuanchen, he is simply a sister slave, plus those three friends, Ling's life is still good.
Speaking of spiritual headaches, that is, after becoming everyone's ladies, the spirit has to learn women's etiquette. Now the spirit is the eldest lady! The daughter of the leader of the martial arts alliance! And I can't be that wild girl with a father and no mother.
Mrs. Mu personally put on a clean and beautiful pink dress for Ling Xiaowa, looking at such a good-looking daughter, Mrs. Mu was satisfied. It's just that the spirit is bitter, and the little girl can't even walk at first.
Not to mention sitting upright and eating with etiquette, the spirit can't even use chopsticks! After all, when you are a beggar, you are all pilaf, sitting and lying anywhere, how can there be a trace of rules at all.
All of this has to be learned from scratch, and it also has to be learned, as well as her personal little maid Yu. Every time I think of etiquette, this girl who rains has the same headache as the spirit! Fortunately, she is a maid, and she has much less to learn than Ling.
You can't walk with big legs, you must take small steps, you can't use running, you have to move slowly. Eat in small bites, not with your hands, with chopsticks, and not to make a sound. When you see people, you must support yourself at every turn, you can't speak loudly, and you can't laugh without showing your teeth.
As for women, they must have feminine virtues, sit with a sitting statue, stand with a standing appearance, and can't even move when they sleep, and they have to sleep with them tied.
••••••
These rules and regulations, rules and regulations. At the end of the day, it really cost the lives of two girls!
These two children, Ling and Yu, who have been wild since childhood, would rather be beaten by middle-aged beggar men than learn etiquette, and they don't want to learn these rules!
After going through batch after batch, more than 30 teachers before and after. Mrs. Mu still grinned, didn't say anything about the two female dolls, and continued to hire a new teacher at a high price.
Until the fiftieth teacher was angry and left, the Mu family's economy declined. The two female dolls finally learned these so-called rules on the surface, it's really not easy, don't understand the two babies in private, at least they will.
