019 The so-called grandmother
Early the next morning, Qiu Xiyin arrived at the Yangde Home a little earlier, but he didn't want to be the last.
When she entered, Mrs. Qiu was holding Deng Wenya's hand and sighing that Deng Wenya was filial, and told her not to do more needlework, so as not to hurt her eyes, and in the other hand she was holding a rusty red and gold-painted gourd-like purse, thinking that Deng Wenya made it herself.
Qiu Xiyin walked in unhurriedly, leaned over and saluted, and the old face of Mrs. Qiu, who was still full of smiles just now, suddenly pulled down and snorted.
Qiu Shi smiled and beckoned, "Yinyin, come over and let my aunt see, is her body good?" ”
Qiu Xiyin saluted again and took a few steps closer, "It's good, thank you aunt for your concern."
Qiu looked her up and down, and praised, "Sure enough, it is the girl of the second brother and the second sister-in-law, this appearance, this bearing, I can't find a few in the whole capital."
Mrs. Qiu said impatiently, "How old is she, what kind of appearance does she have?" ”
After speaking, he ignored her and asked Deng Wenya what books she was studying recently.
Qiu Xiyin looked around, and was about to find a place to sit down by herself, when she saw Qiu Buyi beckoning to her with a smile, "Third sister come to sit on my side."
Qiu Xiyin had no choice but to sit down beside her, so that he happened to sit opposite Qiu Buyan.
Qiu Buyan suffered a loss yesterday, so he didn't dare to speak today, so he just kept rolling his eyes at her.
Qiu Xiyin just didn't see it, and sat down with his eyes downright.
After a while, Mrs. Qiu finally suspended her concern for Deng Wenya, and asked how Qiu Buyi's piano learning was, and reprimanded Qiu Buwei a few words, telling her to calm down and practice calligraphy well.
just ignored Qiu Xiyin and didn't ask her half a sentence.
In her previous life, Mrs. Qiu's behavior of turning a blind eye and scolding from time to time made Qiu Xiyin sad for a long time, and she was haunted by Mrs. Qiu until she died.
However, now that she has died once, she naturally will not take these little tricks into account anymore.
After Mrs. Qiu cared about her granddaughter and granddaughter, she ordered the court to eat, glanced at Qiu Xiyin, and said casually, "The third girl is weak, and I am afraid that ordinary things cannot be eaten at will, so don't use them here with me."
This kind of thing naturally happened in the previous life, and there were a few times in front of outsiders, Qiu Xiyin at that time was ashamed, aggrieved and helpless, and now, she just got up and saluted, and said lukewarmly, "Grandmother is compassionate, granddaughter retires."
Old Mrs. Qiu's heart was stuffed, and she didn't care that Qiu Xiyin hadn't walked out of the door yet, and scolded, "The little hooves of death have come to me!" ”
Qiu Xiyin only didn't say her, holding Mai Mang's hand, her steps were never half a minute faster, nor half a minute slower.
Old Mrs. Qiu was even more angry, and watched Qiu Xiyin go out of the door, before she finally scolded, "If it's really someone raising someone!" I don't know any etiquette! You should stay in the countryside for the rest of your life and find a rural villager to send away, so that it is not humiliating! ”
"Mother!" Qiu Shi shouted in a low voice and interrupted, "Someone, hurry up and urge, why hasn't the food come yet?" A few girls are going to study."
……
……
Qiu Xiyin returned to Sangyu Courtyard, ran out of food, and was about to pack up the calligraphy and paintings he bought yesterday.
She instructed Huang Xiu not to allow anyone to move the box, and to clean it up when she came back, and ordered the two to be invited to the flower hall.
Mrs. Qiu had only one son and one daughter, and her daughter Qiu married back to her maiden family, the Deng family.
The Deng family is just a family of businessmen, although they are rich, their identities are always a little different, and the Qiu family does not look down on her husband's family, and she doesn't even care much about her husband Deng Lu.
Soon after Qiu Zhengshen got married, she took her daughter Deng Wenya and her son Deng Wenzhong to her parents and brother, and she couldn't return to Jiangnan once a year.
The Deng family was very supportive of her behavior, and sent money and gifts to the Qiu Mansion at a low price.
Deng Wenya is fourteen years old this year, one year younger than Qiu Busui, and the two cousins look like Qiu Zhengshen, with a beautiful and beautiful appearance, and an elegant temperament like a lotus.
Qiu Busui held a box in his hand, smiled and handed it to Mai Mang, and said with a smile, "We have to go to study in a while, so we won't go in and sit, this is a dim sum made by my cousin, do you like it or not."
Qiu Xiyin saluted and thanked him, and Deng Wenya said, "This is learned from Gusu's cook, you can see if it suits your appetite, if you like it, I will send it next time."
The Qiu family is very concerned about the background of Deng Wenya's sisters and brothers, so they are very strict with their upbringing, and they are not allowed to be vulgar in reading and writing.
Under Qiu's strict upbringing, Deng Wenya was very ladylike and elegant in everything she said and did, and she spoke slowly and softly.
"Thank you cousin for your trouble."
"A box of snacks is not worth anything," Deng Wenya paused, and then said, "Grandmother-"
only said this, but he didn't say it anymore, and he didn't know how to speak.
Qiu Xiyin remembered that there was such a thing in her previous life, or in other words, Qiu Buwei and Deng Wenya had shown favor to her in her previous life.
It's just that soon after she entered Beijing, Qiu Busui became ill, and Deng Wenya quickly decided on a family affair, and after getting married, she went to a foreign post with her husband, she was weak and did not have much friendship with the two.
Qiu Busui smiled, "Then let's go first, after a while, when my sister is well and settles down, she will definitely study with us, and my sister will take advantage of this time to take a rest."
The two talked a few more words, and left hand in hand, Qiu Xiyin continued to sort out the calligraphy and painting, and sent a little girl to guard the side door, and when Qiu Zhengshen came back, he would come to Tong.
The holy decree of the prince and the young master has not yet been issued, Qiu Zhengshen is still on an errand in the Hanlin Academy, very idle, Shen Shichu came back, but as soon as he returned to the house, he came to Sangyu Courtyard.
Qiu Xiyin just got up from the lunch break, and when she heard that Qiu Zhengshen was coming, she hurriedly took out the box of pearls that Old Lady Qiu gave her yesterday and hugged her to the flower hall in person.
Qiu Zhengshen recognized the box containing the pearls at a glance, and said with a smile, "Yinyin, what is this doing?" Can't wait to use these beads to string flowers? ”
The Qiu family has a rich background, and the daughters-in-law they marry are of different heights, but all of them have rich dowries, such precious pearls are beaded for a little girl who is only eight years old, and Qiu Zhengshen is not different when he says it.
Qiu Xiyin shook his head seriously, and said seriously about going to ask for peace in the morning, and said seriously, "Father, does grandmother blame me for not listening to her yesterday and returning this box of pearls to my grandfather?" Father, I'd better give it back to my grandfather."
Qiu Zheng covered his lips and coughed, his face full of embarrassment, "Yinyin, your grandmother-"
When he said this, he couldn't say any more like Deng Wenya, and coughed again, "But your grandmother is right, you are weak, and you must be careful in your diet, and your great-grandmother also specially explained it in the letter to me."
I'm going to talk to your mother about setting up a small kitchen in your yard, so that whatever you want to eat will be cheaper, and you won't have to eat all the way from the big kitchen."
Qiu Xiyin pretended not to know how much honor this small kitchen was, and said as a matter of course, "Before leaving, my grandmother also told me, and asked me to bring two cooks.
Qiu Zhengshen coughed again, "There are also a lot of good cooks in this capital, I'll find you two."
Qiu Xiyin nodded, "Then my father remembered to find someone who is good at cooking medicinal food, and another one who can cook Jiangnan cuisine, I can't get used to the taste of the capital."
It's easy to find someone who can cook Jiangnan cuisine, the Qiu family was born in Gusu, and there are chefs in the house who can cook Jiangnan cuisine, but there are chefs who can cook medicinal food-
Qiu Zhengshen had a headache, but seeing his daughter's natural calm appearance, he couldn't say anything embarrassed, and turned to talk about going to Xie's house tomorrow, Qiu Xiyin hadn't been to Xie's house since he returned to Beijing, so he should go to recognize his relatives.
Xie Fu –
She's going to see her cousin and uncle!
Qiu Xiyin's spirits perked up, and when Qiu Zhengshen left, he called Huang Xiu in and got ready.
