Chapter 11: The Gift Before Departure
Matsuzuru-in
"Yu Yao greets her grandmother!" "Yuqi greets grandmother!" Yu Yao and Yu Qi greeted the old lady one after the other.
"Get up." The old lady looked at the two people in front of her kindly. While speaking, Yu Yao was already sitting on the embroidery pier with her hands, looking at her nose and nose, looking at her heart, Yu Xue's cute appearance and this well-behaved posture, the old lady nodded with satisfaction.
"Grandmother, I'm going to sit next to my grandmother like my big sister." After speaking, Yuqi completely ignored the empty stool, strode forward and sat on the other side of the old lady, holding the old lady's hand and coquettishly.
"Haha, you are a prank, you have a lot of things, you see how well-behaved and sensible your second sister is." The old lady smiled happily. The old lady is old and likes to be surrounded by children and grandchildren. The eldest grandson Yu Jin joined the army, and the second grandson Yu Hao is about to participate in the imperial examination. The second granddaughter Yu Yao knows that she is quiet and elegant has always been the most satisfied, and there is a noble ancestor of the imperial history who will be able to marry into the marquis family to be a housewife, otherwise it is enough to enter the palace as a mother, although the third granddaughter Yuqi is arrogant and noisy, but anyway, the concubine will not marry into the Gaomen family as a wife in the future, even if she goes to a small family to be a wife, there are not so many constraints, so the old lady has always been tolerant of her. However, the old lady Yurun, who has always been submissive, has been worried, but now after waking up from falling into the water, her temperament has become a lot more cheerful, and now she is going to go to Lingshan College to go to school, and she seems to be self-motivated, and the old lady is also satisfied with the family affairs of Prince Ying's mansion, and the old lady is a little relieved until now.
"How can the granddaughter compare with the second sister, the second sister not only has a good temperament, but also a good appearance, and her knowledge is also one and the best. It would be nice if the granddaughter had half the second sister, so that the granddaughter would dare to go to school at Lingshan College. Yuqi showed an envious look when she spoke, which caused Yuyao, who was listening next to her, to have a red glow on her face and glanced at Yuqi with disgust.
"Poof." Yuqi pursed her lips and smiled, then looked at Yurun curiously, and said, "I heard that the eldest sister is also preparing to go to Lingshan Academy, presumably the eldest sister's knowledge must not be bad, right?" ”
"Haha, three girls, you're right, Sister Run'er has been writing and painting with me these days, you look at the paintings on the wall." Speaking of this, the old lady looked at a painting on the wall with satisfaction, although this eldest granddaughter used to be submissive, but these skills are not left behind. Now that he has a cheerful temperament, the whole person has added a bit of book aroma, and the whole person is also smart when he looks at the past.
"What!" Yuqi looked at Yurun in disbelief, and then looked back at Yu Yao, who was also stunned, and suddenly felt a chill in her back, as if something seemed to have gone against her expectations.
Yu Yao looked up at Yu Run and then looked at the room, and suddenly a picture of a crane celebrating his birthday came into view, only to see a crane coming in the clouds, with a peach in his mouth to celebrate the birthday of the old lady sitting by the green pine. The old lady sitting next to the green pine was her grandmother at a glance. The tone of the whole picture is festive, the color is bright, the painting is like a skillful workmanship, the crane seems to be able to break out of the sky at any time, the peach in the mouth of the crane seems to have just been picked from the sky, and there are crystal dewdrops, the old lady wears a big red silk dress embroidered with a hundred blessings, her expression is serene, and she looks at the crane flying with a smile. Next to the line of hairpins in small block letters, the handwriting is delicate and powerful: Fu is like the East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan.
"This, this is made by the big sister?" Yu Yao looked at Yu Run in disbelief.
Yurun shyly leaned on the old lady's side and nodded, "I calculated, I will go to Lingshan Academy next month, and when I come back, it will be my grandmother's birthday, so my granddaughter painted a picture for my grandmother and gave it to my grandmother in advance." Grandmother has been talking about her granddaughter going to the academy for the past few days, which can be regarded as a gift to her grandmother before her granddaughter leaves. The granddaughter is a shallow learner, and she can't be compared with the second sister, so her grandmother doesn't dislike it. ”
The painting is so vivid, and the hairpin next to it is also beautiful, this is a shallow learning? Yu Yao pulled the corners of her mouth unnaturally, barely maintaining her cute and cute appearance, "The eldest sister is really hidden, I only knew that the eldest sister liked Miss Xiao Jiabiao's words, so I always used to copy it, and the younger sisters didn't know that my sister had made such progress." It's really impressive. ”
"When my mother was there, she often said that it was a pity that she couldn't understand the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, otherwise she would be able to reconcile with her father. After my mother was gone, I often missed my mother, thinking that if I had learned well, my mother would be relieved to see her daughter in the spirit of heaven. However, I also think that my daughter's family is not more famous than a man, and my daughter's family learning these is just for self-cultivation, and when I go to my husband's house, I can also achieve the beautiful thing of adding fragrance to the red sleeves, as for whether others know it or not. Yu Run looked at Yu Yao with an extremely kind and innocent expression. Pretending to be cute? Pretending to be innocent? Could it be that you Yuyao will? Yurun is sarcastic in her heart, one day I will tear apart your innocent face and let the world see how dirty you are under the appearance of your white lotus. Today is just a gift before leaving, see how you can pretend to be light? Want to drive a wedge between me and my grandmother? Hmph, dream!
Red sleeves for a splash? Doesn't matter? Is this all mocking yourself? Yu Yao forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, her face was blue and white for a while, and the handkerchief in her hand was about to be twisted.
The old lady suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little stiff, so she said, "Grandmother knows that you are all good children, okay, go eat some snacks." Then, Mama Yang commanded her subordinates to serve snacks with a very good eye, and after a while, there were a few plates of various snacks on the table, all of which were loved by several young ladies.
"Grandmother really feels sorry for her granddaughters, these are what granddaughters love to eat. The flower cake is the third sister's favorite food, the begonia cake is the second sister's favorite food, and the osmanthus cake is the granddaughter's favorite food. Second sister, third sister, don't be stunned, hurry up and eat. After saying that, Yurun winked playfully.
Yu Yao and Yu Qi didn't dare to attack in front of the old lady, so they walked to the table with stiff steps and didn't move after eating two bites.
"Hey, why didn't the second sister and the third sister eat it? Is it grandmother's stuff that doesn't taste good? Sister: I remember that these used to be my sisters' favorite food. Yurun looked at the pastry in front of him tangled.
"Why, how so? It's just that my third sister and I ate too much for lunch, so we can't eat it yet. Yu Yao struggled to keep her emotions in check.
"I see. It's a pity for these snacks. After saying that, Yurun ate a few pieces of everything, then rubbed his stomach with satisfaction, and said to the old lady coquettishly: "Grandmother, these are really delicious, but it's a pity that it will take a long time for my granddaughter to go to Lingshan Academy to eat grandmother's things." The granddaughter was a little reluctant to leave. ”
"Look at your worthless appearance," said the old lady, smiling from ear to ear, "what if I gave you this cook?" I have already instructed the cuckoo, and when the time comes, the cuckoo will go to the Lingshan Academy with you, your maids are still too young, although they are clever, but they lack experience. ”
The old lady's words were like an earth-shattering thunderbolt, which instantly stunned Yu Yao, Yu Qi and Yu Run, and the expressions on the faces of the three of them were colorful.
