Chapter 381 Get along
Xiaoya was still a little apprehensive about serving her mother-in-law for the first time, but she also took care of her grandmother at home, which was also handy, and her eyesight was still there, Huilan was very easy-going and not difficult to serve, this meal took a bit long, and Xiaoya was indeed full.
She felt that Huilan was deliberately prolonging the meal time, so as not to go hungry, and felt warm in her heart, her mother-in-law was very good, but she didn't like to say it.
"What do you usually do at home?"
Huilan finished eating, sat down to have a cup of tea and rested.
"I used to be able to read, but then I didn't have to read before the draft, so I started to learn housekeeping, and I didn't need to be a housekeeper after the draft, most of them were used to watch calligraphy, paintings, and play, and I was not restricted at home, I could do anything."
Xiao Ya held a cup of spiritual tea and tasted it carefully, the taste was excellent, and it was very comfortable to drink it with a fragrant mouth.
"Do you like painting very much, I quite like the plum blossom picture you painted, it is very elegant and artistic conception."
Huilan also wants to talk more with her daughter-in-law and learn more about each other's personality and life.
Xiao Ya smiled shyly, "I like to paint very much, I used to go out to paint when I was in my hometown, painting the wild mountains and flowers, and the clouds and mist in the mountains, but my father said that I didn't paint well, I didn't get rid of the craftsmanship, there are still a lot of traces, I can't let go of being too restrained, and I don't understand." ”
She tilted her head a little confused, and then said with a smile: "Maybe my talent is limited, anyway, I'm also a hobby." ”
Hui Lan looked at her and smiled lovingly, "You are still young, in fact, you are very talented, if you are willing to paint with me, I spend most of my time playing, no matter where you live, you must have a hobby, you can't work too hard." ”
Xiaoya's eyes lit up, "Really, then I can often come to you to learn to paint, I like your paintings so much, I think your landscape paintings are especially good, better than flowers, plants, fish and insects, I love your landscape paintings, the vast atmosphere is free." ”
When it comes to hobbies, she talks endlessly, and her vision is extremely accurate, and she is a person with goods in her belly.
Hui Lan was also very happy, and her smile was a little more sincere, "They all say that my landscape painting is slightly better, if you like a lot of early paintings, even if you pick them up, they will be moldy in vain, and if you can meet a confidant you like, that's the happy thing." ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother, I must pick two, His Royal Highness wore a picture of you to me last time, I haven't even seen it."
Xiaoya really likes to paint, but it's a pity that the family is strict and doesn't let her indulge.
"Just pick what you like, let the cloves find it for you, it's all in the cabinet, take whatever you want."
Huilan actually didn't care, it was their father who liked not to let people touch it, in fact, she finished painting it herself.
"I have some things you take back to see, don't worry, a month for the deadline, you have to familiarize yourself with the things, you take it back to see, the hardest time when you are married, you get up early today, go back early, Brother Qian's next court will come back in the afternoon, I have nothing to do, you go and do your work, go back and rest, we have more days to live."
Xiaoya stood up gratefully and saluted, "Yes, I listen to my mother, and I will come back tomorrow." ”
took the things in Lilac's hand and returned them.
Huilan saw that Xiaoya was a little tired, newly married, plus she got up early, let her go back early, and she would not be told that her mother-in-law didn't like it, so there was no need to toss her daughter-in-law to accompany her all day.
Xiaoya took the things back, and on the way the maid asked, "Girl...... My crown princess, is my mother still getting along, she came back so soon, but something? ”
Xiaoya smiled and shook her head, "No, the queen mother is very kind, takes care of me very much, and even let me accompany me to eat." The queen mother was afraid that I would work hard, so she let me come back earlier, and the queen mother is very good. ”
She felt Huilan's sincerity and sincerity, and the anxiety and anxiety in her heart were much less, and her mother-in-law didn't make it difficult, and this day was half better.
"That's good, I've long heard that the queen mother is charitable and never embarrassed, but now I see that this is really the case."
"Well, let's go, let's go back and wait for the husband."
"Okay."
Hui Lan gave two paintings, and one was a list, a list of all the minions of Changle Palace, including the monthly stipends provided by the treasurer for Changle Palace, and a list of related personnel.
This thing seems simple, but it can figure out most of the information of Changle Palace and the treasurer, and basically understand this, and half of the palace affairs will be figured out.
Hui Lan's intention is to investigate, and at the same time lower the requirements, you can figure out the minions of Changle Palace, and the treasurer's affairs can be taken slowly.
When Brother Qiange came back, Xiaoya wore a new long gown, a wide bucket and a thin cotton jacket, and her homely clothes were very comfortable, and she sat there and looked at the list.
"Brother God, you're back, drink a cup of hot tea, I made some flower tea, the queen mother gave it to me, don't drink tea this time, I'm afraid you will be sleepy at night."
"Okay, well, good craftsmanship, fragrant!"
Brother Qian tasted a sip of flower tea, it was warm and not hot, just right, full of fragrant flowers, the skill of making tea was excellent, and the fatigue of the body was also reduced a little.
"Tired or not, eat the pot today, there are grilled lamb chops, I think it's a little cold today, and there is a little frost, so I want the pot."
I went to greet my mother, but I went early, and I saw my father, so I nodded with me and left, without giving me a lecture.
The queen mother asked me to accompany the meal, the queen mother treated me very well, I was afraid that I would go back to Kunning Palace nervously, not full, the meal time was a little long, and I put down the chopsticks when I was full, hehe!
By the way, the queen mother also gave me a list of the servants of the Changle Palace, I am still reading it, I plan to sort it out, although this list is a short answer, but I think I can see how much money the treasurer earns every year, how much money is spent, and so on.
Brother God, you say, if I tell my mother everything I have figured out, will I say too much? I think the queen mother wants me to take Changle Palace as soon as possible, tie up the fence of my place, and then go to learn the treasurer's business, this is not in a hurry, I'm afraid I think about the wrong intention, you help me think about it. ”
Xiao Ya said slowly, her voice was gentle and clear, and her little hand helped him pinch the sore muscles in his neck, and the small talk made Brother Qiange quickly relax and feel comfortable.
"It's okay, if you think of something, just say it to the queen mother, don't be afraid to say that you won't blame you, don't take it seriously The queen mother knows in her heart, she doesn't like people who don't know how to pretend to understand, but they are clumsy, if you have any questions, you can ask boldly, after all, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have to get along for a lifetime, and it is always good to have a good start.
My father hopes that you can take over the palace affairs as soon as possible, he wants to take his mother to the farm to cultivate, if you and I can't stand alone, they can't get out, my mother's body is not as tough as before in the past two years, my father is anxious, but he can't leave. If you don't understand anything, just ask, the queen mother likes straightforward girls. ”
Brother Qiange also helped Xiaoya come up with ideas.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, then I'll study it for a few more days, and then I'll go and ask my mother when I've figured it out."
Xiaoya likes to do things with confidence.
