Chapter 27: Personally Directed
Mu Yunxue was worried about yesterday's events, so she got up earlier, wanting to get ahead of Mu Yunge, but when she didn't want to enter the door, Mu Yunge and Lin Xuanqing had already finished asking An to sit there and drink tea with the old lady.
"Grandmother and granddaughter have come to greet you, this is the Buddhist scripture that my granddaughter has stayed up all night copying by herself, and I have specially prayed for your grandmother. Yun Xue stayed up all night in order to copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for her grandmother, so she came late, and asked her grandmother not to blame. ”
Mu Yunxue has been trained several times in just a few days, but she has also learned to be a little better, and this time she can be regarded as learning from Mu Yunge. Although he hated Mu Yunge when he saw him, he didn't show anything, he only saluted respectfully, and then handed over a thick hand-copied Buddhist scripture.
The old lady took it coldly, and after only turning a few pages, her face gradually became gloomy, and finally she glanced at Mu Yunxue fiercely.
"Such a thick Buddhist scripture, when copying it, those maids and servants in your room probably made a lot of effort."
The old lady's tone was as cold as ice, and she didn't want to look at the fool in front of her again.
She really couldn't figure it out. Obviously they are sisters, how can the brains of Mu Yunxue and Mu Yunge be so different.
The Buddhist scriptures copied by Mu Yunge, although the length is shorter, can be written by one person throughout, and it is neatly worked, which is pleasing to the eye when you look at it, and you can also see the intentions of the person who copied it.
But the book Mu Yunxue just brought, each one has different handwriting, it was not written by one person at all, and it was scribbled so badly, it made people angry when they read it.
"Grandmother, you misunderstood Yunxue, this Buddhist scripture was really copied by her granddaughter, and the reason why the handwriting is different is because she is too tired later, so she scribbled it a little."
Mu Yunxue was afraid of her grandmother's majesty, so she immediately trembled, and finally stopped saying a few words.
"Since you don't want to copy it, forget it, the Buddha pays attention to sincerity, you act like this, it really defiles the Buddha, don't do these thankless things in the future."
The old lady held the teacup, and her tone was colder than before, as if it was not her granddaughter standing in front of her, but a subordinate who had made a mistake.
"Grandmother, I'm sorry, Yun Xue knows that she is wrong, please don't be angry."
Mu Yunxue was frightened, and she was afraid of the old lady's punishment, so she hurriedly knelt down and admitted her mistake again and again, so frightened that tears were about to come out.
"You have such a bad character, if you don't punish you, I'm afraid I'm sorry for the ancestors of the Mu family, from today onwards, after breakfast, go to the ancestral hall and kneel, kneel for three hours a day, kneel for seven days, even if it is my small punishment for you."
The old lady half-closed her eyes, and she punished Mu Yunxue to kneel in the ancestral hall, and there was no trace of pity in her words.
"I heard that your mother asked you to teach Mama Xi?"
After a long while, the old lady gathered her mind, put down the white porcelain cup in her hand, and raised her head again and asked.
"Back to my grandmother, it's like this, I've been studying for a few days."
Mu Yunxue saw that the old lady was finally willing to talk to her again, so she hurriedly seized the opportunity to say triumphantly, wanting to make a good face in front of her.
"Since I've been studying for a few days, I haven't grown at all, and I haven't seen your demeanor in the past few days, and there is nothing outstanding about it, it seems that you have wasted silver taels in vain."
The old lady's tone was still cold, and one sentence made Mu Yunxue's smile condense on her face, and she didn't know how to reply for a while.
"In the future, your sister's etiquette will be taught by you, please teach such a grandmother to waste silver taels and be ridiculed for no reason."
The old lady raised her head and looked at Mu Yunge, her tone suddenly became much kinder, and even her eyes became gentler.
"Grandmother, don't worry, your granddaughter will teach her sister well, and she won't let you down."
Mu Yunge smiled like a flower on his face, and immediately agreed, not giving Mu Yunxue a chance to refute at all.
"This vicious mother and daughter have oppressed the original owner for so many years, and it's time to repay it all, and now it's in my hands, and it's not up to this girl to have the final say."
Mu Yunge thought to herself, the smile on her face was a little thicker, but she was very self-controlled, the old lady saw it, and felt that she was well-behaved and generous, and she lost her temper at every turn, Mu Yunxue, who had nothing to offer, was simply different from Mu Yunge.
Mu Yunxue didn't have time to object, seeing that she fell into the hands of the enemy, she was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, and she couldn't wait to rush up and slap Mu Yunxue hard.
But just now she was punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall, and the old lady became more and more unkind to herself, so she really didn't dare to make a mistake, so she could only forcibly suppress it.
"Mother, Yun Ge is still young, even if he understands some etiquette, there are always shortcomings, is it a little inappropriate for you to do this?"
Li was late, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard the old lady's words, and was afraid that Mu Yunge would make a bad heart make trouble and bully his daughter, so he panicked and wanted to stop it.
"Is it possible for her to continue to be embarrassed in front of outsiders? This matter is settled, there is no need to discuss. ”
The old lady saw that Mu Yunxue had come to a nasty thing again before she left, and her heart was not happy, and seeing that the Li family was so unruly, she dared to refute herself, and her heart was even more unclear for a while, her tone was as cold as ice, and her eyes were much colder.
Li didn't expect the old lady to be so angry, so she was so frightened that her shoulders shook slightly, and she shrank aside and didn't dare to say anything more.
Lin Xuanqi stood in a regular manner on the side, seeing this scene, she felt that the mother and daughter were simply living treasures, and couldn't help but hold her breath and sneer......
"I heard that your relatives are quite unexpected, and the people in the house still don't know much about your situation, and now that everyone is here, you can tell the family things carefully, so that I, the old man, can have a bottom in my heart."
Although Mrs. Mu is old, she is still deaf and clear-sighted, so even if Lin Xuanqi's movements are not ostentatious, she is still taken into her eyes, she clears her throat and asks loudly.
"Back to my grandmother, the matter at my grandson-in-law's house was not deliberately concealed, but I was stumbling on my head a few days ago, where does my family live? Who else is in the family? I really can't remember all the problems together, and I hope you will forgive me, grandmother. ”
Lin Xuanqi smiled instantly, and bowed his hand respectfully to the old lady, and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Back to my grandmother, although there are injuries on my body, my mind is very smart, and the messy ledgers at home torture my granddaughter to the point of dizziness, but as long as it is in the hands of my grandfather, it will be sorted out at a glance, which is really admirable to my granddaughter."
Mu Yunge was afraid that the old lady would delve into Lin Xuanqing's identity, so he hurriedly took over the conversation with a smile, and secretly said the chaos in the account book.
"When I was here, the accounts of the family were always clear, but now how can they be so chaotic that people can't understand them?"
The old lady has always been a shrewd person, and she instantly heard the clues in Mu Yunge's words, and raised her head with a cold face, and her tone became much more serious.
