Chapter Seventy-Seven: The smile fades away
Xie Jingyi nodded, but he changed his clothes unhurriedly before going to the main courtyard.
Mama Fang was doing things neatly, and it was raining heavily, so she came when she said it.
The room was a little stuffy, Xie Jingyi frowned slightly, saw the salute, and sat in his place again.
Zhai Shi smiled, "Everyone is here, although Mama said, there are some problems in my family, especially these three daughters, don't worry, I am a person, I have no other advantages, but I am broad-hearted." ”
Mama Fang half sat on the chair and lowered her head, her attitude was obviously completely different from what she had seen in Qiantang before.
Xie Jingyi took a sip of tea with satisfaction and echoed, "Exactly, even if Mama said it, we can change it." ”
Mama Fang pursed her lips, "Then I'll be brave and start talking about it when I enter the door." ”
"Before I came, I didn't inquire about the Lord's house. I'll take a guess today, Madame, I was right. The main family was born in an ordinary family, and he was promoted not long ago, and he never interfered in the affairs of the family, and all the affairs were taken care of by his wife. The lady was born rich but not a high-ranking family, and the back house was quiet, and she rarely punished her subordinates. All the property in the store is taken care of by the shopkeeper, and I don't care too much. ”
Zhai's hand holding the teacup froze, and she thought that Mama Fang was playing tricks, in order to show that she had some ability. But the origin of their family can be easily asked, but how did she master the back house, and how did Mama Fang know it when she entered the door for the first time?
"How does Mama know?" Zhai asked directly.
Mama Fang smiled, "It seems that I guessed right." As soon as I entered the door, I heard the porter speak in tongues instead of official language. If it is a family heirloom for several generations, most of them will not be like this, because they think that they will always be the Beijing officials. ”
"The furnishings in the house are rich, but I see that they are some recent paintings and antiques, which are valuable but not precious, so I guess Madame is not from a high family; In the whole family, the style is unified, which shows that the master mother is dominant, and there is no such person who makes waves. ”
"As soon as the porter heard that I was the grandmother you invited, she easily took her surname, and hurriedly went in to ask for instructions; It was raining heavily to-day, and the wooden porch was splashed with rain, and no one wiped it down; There are fallen leaves and flowers in the yard, and the maid and the maid are muttering and whispering, looking very leisurely, which shows that Mrs. is a generous person. ”
Zhai Shi listened, his smile stiffened, it was not a grandmother from the palace, but he dared to say it!
Mama Fang saluted, "It's me who is abrupt." ”
Zhai Shi hurriedly shook his head, why did she invite her grandmother to come, in order to completely rectify this family, now Xie Baolin has a good momentum, maybe there is really hope of going to the capital, she was born in a merchant, she can be said to be ignorant of these things, not that her father is reluctant to teach her.
It's really not at that level, the village chief's daughter, at most, is to teach literacy and hyphenation, in order to marry a scholar; She is the daughter of a merchant, and her father never thought of raising her as a noble girl.
If she really went to the capital, what Mama Fang said would have become a laughing stock.
"Listening to Mama's words is better than reading for ten years. My house is quiet, there is no fighting, I am used to living a comfortable life, and I am indeed too slack. Tell me about my three daughters. ”
Zhai bit his lip, the long pain is better than the short pain, just die of pain today.
"Madame is kind-hearted, it is really rare, the eldest lady is like Madame, if you can find a character like the master of the family in the future, it is happy. But if you meet that powerful mother-in-law, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with it. ”
"Madame should teach her how to get her mind right, otherwise she will be prone to villains. Don't blame the eldest lady for saying something ugly, in that palace, I have seen a lot of people like the eldest lady, and none of them can survive to the end. ”
"If the eldest lady doesn't make up her mind, her ears are too soft, not only can't protect her blood relatives, but she can't protect herself."
Xie Jingxian pursed her lips, her face flushed.
Zhai really can't laugh, is it difficult for this grandmother to know how to meet?
Xie Jingxian was not coaxed by the surnamed Xu a while ago.
Mama Fang glanced at Zhai's expression and saluted again, "Madam Kuanren, since you invited me here, you just want the three little ladies to be good, if I don't hit the nail on the head, how can the illness be cured?" If Madame is not sick, then I have no reason to be here. ”
Zhai Shi waved his hand, "You're right, my daughter was born to me, and I know it in my heart." You go on to say. ”
Mama Fang secretly glanced at Xie Jingyi, Xie Jingyi smiled and blinked, Mama Fang was relieved, and felt that her waist was a little straighter.
Xie Jingyin, who was on the side, saw that it was his turn, patted his chest, and shouted, "Although Mama talks about my problem, the more ruthless it is, the better!" ”
Mama Fang was so frightened by her thunderous voice that she jumped back, she gently rubbed her ears, and she had a feeling of being deceived into a thief ship.
If you don't open your mouth, it's a fairy, and when you open your mouth, it's a gong.
Mama Fang coughed and said seriously, "The second lady doesn't need to speak so loudly, if the mother-in-law has a heart disease in the future, I'm afraid she will be scared and pouted." ”
Xie Jingyi couldn't help it, and burst out laughing.
Xie Jingyin heard her laugh and glared at her, his voice was much quieter, "I know, I got a little forgetful for a while, and I will remember it in the future." ”
Mama Fang didn't take her words to heart, there are many people who know the problem, and there are very few people who can change it.
"The beauty of the second lady, it is not an exaggeration to say that any lady I see in the palace is no match for the second lady."
Xie Jingyin raised her chin proudly, of course she was good-looking, or would Guan Huizhi fall under her face?
Mama Fang shook her head, "If you don't know your own beauty, it's the most beautiful; Knowing your beauty and beauty, that's greasy. The one who lives the longest in the palace is never the most beautiful. And does the lady know why? ”
"I don't know."
"Can the three ladies know?" Mama Fang looked at Xie Jingyi.
"Well, let's put it this way. Just like when we eat a snack, there is a piece of amber, with cherry blossoms in full bloom hidden in the middle, so the big guys will see her at first sight, because her beauty is so outstanding. But after taking a bite, what if her taste doesn't match her beauty? ”
"Well, it looks decent to take it out for hospitality occasionally, but I definitely won't eat this kind of dim sum that tastes like chewing wax very often."
"The second sister is amazingly beautiful, but if she doesn't have the ability to match her beauty, she will only become a live target."
Mama Fang glanced at Xie Jingyi approvingly, "That's right." In addition to your beauty, you have an ordinary family background and ordinary means. Needless to argue, I see that you are straightforward and not a scheming person. Serve people with color, love with decay, please keep in mind the second lady. ”
