Chapter 41: A Troublesome Matter
"Daughter-in-law Xiyu," Mrs. Liu explained to Xia Yanqing's surprised look, "This matter is indeed that those gentlemen are uneducated and have no words. Let's ignore him. ”
Xia Yanqing nodded, since this is the case, why are you still calling her back?
Mrs. Liu continued: "As long as we are moderate in our words and deeds, cautious in our rules, and do not leave no room for others, rumors will not be in the market. ”
Xia Yanqing nodded, this is, the clear person is self-purifying, if the life is swayed by rumors, this life is too heavy and boring.
Mrs. Liu saw Xia Yanqing nodding and said the meaning of the theme: "You have experienced ups and downs before, and you have not had the opportunity to learn the etiquette rules of the housemaids, and there will inevitably be omissions between words and deeds." During the day, I discussed with your sister-in-law and asked you to bring you a nurturing grandmother to teach you the rules of words and deeds in the back house, so as not to go on a business trip in the future. ”
Xia Yanqing was very unhappy to hear this: What is the business trip pool again? She hasn't been out of the pool once, okay?
Wait, it doesn't seem to be able to say that, Xia Yanqing looked at Wang Jiayu.
Wang Jiayu was sitting under the Yuan family at this time, and when she saw Xia Yanqing looking over, she didn't feel a little weak, but looked back at her calmly, her eyes were full of clarity and innocence.
Xia Yanqing raised her chin slightly, so it seems that the conversation between her and Wang Jiayu outside the second gate of Shangshu Mansion should be known by Mrs. Liu and the Yuan family.
In addition, she just explained the reason why Xia Zitang fought with people as an assistant, and arranged for her to raise her grandmother, which was even more logical.
The so-called following the customs of the locals, Xia Yanqing understands. If you want to live a stable and comfortable life in one place, you have to respect the etiquette and customs of this place. Even if you can't copy it perfectly, you can't be too maverick.
In the modern workplace, when dealing with all kinds of people, there should be etiquette and manners. It's just that the modern workplace is elegant, generous, and confident. In ancient times, the requirements for your woman were three obedience and four virtues, female precepts, and female rules.
If you don't care about your thoughts, Xia Yanqing is not resistant to learning ancient women's etiquette.
Even with her status as a displaced person for more than ten years, it is difficult to be accepted by the upper class society in the capital. However, walking in front of people, the proper etiquette that this era thinks is still needed.
However, the species of nurturing grandma is, in Xia Yanqing's impression, a psychologically distorted existence. This creature is designed to brainwash the woman in the back house and imprison the woman's thinking.
"Mother, it was my daughter-in-law who was negligent and didn't pay enough attention to etiquette and rules. The daughter-in-law has Mama Li here, and it is enough to teach the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law must restrain herself well. As for raising grandma...... Forget it, you don't have to work so hard. ”
What do you say...... Mrs. Liu almost threw aside the rosary in her hand and reasoned with Xia Yanqing.
If Mama Li is useful, how can these two daughters-in-law be so ignorant of the rules, every day, they only come to her in the morning to take a picture, and they don't see a shadow all day?
Mrs. Liu held her own identity and didn't argue with her daughter-in-law, but she insisted: "The girls in the capital have been teaching etiquette since they were young. If you haven't received such teaching, you should make up for it. Needless to say, Mama Li is hard to learn etiquette, and it is not easy to use her own mama. After two days, the nurturing grandmother will come to the house, and when the time comes, she will live in Qiuyue Garden. ”
"Live, live in Autumn Moon Garden?" Xia Yanqing was shocked. What the hell, that creature, lives in her yard?
Yuan Shi coughed and explained: "Teaching etiquette to younger siblings alone, it is natural to live with younger siblings to be more effective." ”
Isn't it just effective? This kind of person keeps an eye on her all the time, does he even care how she gasps?
Xia Yanqing looked at the kind Mrs. Liu, and then glanced at the gentle Xu Qinghui. In the end, his eyes fell on Wang Jiayu's faintly happy face.
Xia Yanqing asked, "Sister-in-law, I don't know how long it takes to learn this etiquette?" ”
This time, it was Mrs. Liu who answered: "If you are used to it, this grandmother will stay in your yard." Seeing Xia Yanqing's eyes widen instantly, she added, "That's a grandmother from the palace, with such a grandmother following, going out is very important and can support you for the scene." ”
I don't want that, and I don't need to get my identity that way!
Just when Xia Yanqing frowned tightly and racked her brains to think about how to refuse, Yuan's words made her completely silent, "Otherwise, let's let our in-laws find a parenting grandmother for our younger siblings, do you think this is good?" ”
Xia Yanqing looked up, and Yuan continued with a gentle expression: "Mr. Bai, who teaches his younger brothers and sisters, is very good, and I think my son-in-law has a way in this regard." ”
This smiling tiger! Xia Yanqing felt that he was pinched by seven inches, "No need, let's invite it at our own home." ”
Raising a grandmother is not the same as a teacher who teaches knowledge, and the duty of raising a grandmother is equivalent to brainwashing.
She thinks that no matter what, she can't be brainwashed and can't do what she asks to raise her grandmother. In this case, why do you have to throw this burden on your mother and brother.
At this time, Xia Yanqing was extremely disgusted with the Yuan family. Looking at the happy eyebrows and happy eyes, I am afraid that Wang Jiayu, who has already blossomed in his heart, will be even more unhappy.
She said: "Sister-in-law, Jiayu should also have a nurturing grandmother to follow." I think that my sister-in-law only knows what we said at the second gate of Shangshu Mansion, but I don't know the tone and look of the two of us when we talk to each other. At that time, Jiayu's niece didn't treat my aunt as an elder. ”
"You, how can you talk like that?" Thinking of the hardships she endured when she learned the rules in her early years, Wang Jiayu immediately became anxious, she didn't expect to be bitten back by this woman.
Xia Yanqing spread his hands at Yuan and Mrs. Liu, "Look, my mother and sister-in-law are still watching, she is like this, you and me, she is very unruly." ”
Yuan was furious, glared at Wang Jiayu sternly, turned around, and said to Xia Yanqing in a gentle tone: "I know this, Jiayu is not bad in etiquette, but when he gets along with his family, his temperament is not calm enough. These days, I will strictly restrain her, if it still doesn't work, then according to the words of my younger siblings, I will ask her to be a grandmother. ”
Then, he seriously reproached Wang Jiayu and said, "Do you know that you are wrong? Disrespecting the elders is a taboo in life, your aunt is for your good, if you don't listen to persuasion, there will be a time when you will suffer in the future. ”
Wang Jiayu didn't dare to throw one away from Xia Yanqing, so he only bowed his head sullenly.
Xia Yanqing was also extremely uncomfortable to hear this, as if she was the person Yuan said who didn't know what to do.
…………
The next morning, Mr. Bai found that she, an optimistic and hardworking student, was in a rare bad mood. Not only did he not rush to speed up the teaching progress, but he also wandered from time to time.
Mr. Bai put down the book in his hand, picked up the tea cup on the desk, and slowly sipped the tea while looking at Xia Yanqing who was distracted.
After a while, Xinxiu couldn't hold it anymore and quietly pulled the corners of Xia Yanqing's clothes, and Xia Yanqing realized that the class had been silent for a while.
