I saw a very thin woman wearing a lotus-colored cedar and lake-green brocade skirt, bowing her head and walking in. Until she stood in the flower hall, she never looked up.

The second grandmother of the Wang family, Mama Tang knows. She didn't have much opinion on Xia Yanqing marrying into the Wang family, and in her opinion, it didn't matter whether a woman was educated or not. The important thing is that as a woman, you must know how to keep to yourself and follow the rules.

It is not good for women to learn too much, and if they learn more things, they will have more extravagant expectations that do not fit reality, which is a potential threat to the uneasiness of the family.

Although this woman entered the door with her head bowed, Mama Tang had read countless people, and it could be seen from her walking and posture that this woman was not as cowardly and useless as rumored by the outside world.

Xia Yanqing lowered his head and frowned, and gave gifts to Mrs. Liu and Yuan respectively. Mama Tang also stood up.

Mrs. Liu smiled and introduced the two.

Mama Tang, as a grandmother serving the master's family, first saluted Xia Yanqing, Xia Yanqing raised her head slightly, glanced at Mama Tang, and hurriedly returned the salute.

After the two sat down, Mrs. Liu and Yuan explained many matters to Xia Yanqing, which was nothing more than learning etiquette with Mama and listening to Mama's teachings.

I talked hard to Mama Tang again.

Mama Tang saw that the things that should be explained were all explained, and she did not delay the time of the main family, so she got up to salute Mrs. Liu and the Yuan family, and retired.

Of course, Xia Yanqing followed suit.

The two of them walked out of the flower hall one after the other, speechless all the way, and came to Qiuyue Garden.

Here in Qiuyue Garden, Mama Li had already led the maids and mother-in-law in the courtyard to vacate the first room in the East Chamber, preparing to live in the invited nurturing grandmother.

The maid in Mrs. Liu's room called Xia Yanqing away, and Mama Li waited anxiously in the hospital.

She had a lot of expectations for this grandmother. The second grandmother of her family, she can't manage it, if the nurturing grandmother invited by the Wang family has some Taoism, she can let the second grandmother learn the virtuous and tolerant women of the back house, and be more deferential to the second master. Perhaps, the second grandmother can bow her head to the second master first, and the second master will be willing to come to Qiuyue Garden.

Therefore, Mama Li has been waiting at the gate of the courtyard for a while.

Seeing Xia Yanqing's middle-aged woman coming from a distance, followed by Xinshu and Xinxiu, Mama Li knew that this was the new parenting grandma.

She hurriedly greeted her: "The second grandmother is back, and the slave has seen the second grandmother." ”

Xia Yanqing hummed noncommittally, "This is the nurturing grandmother invited by my mother, let's go in and talk." ”

Walking into the courtyard, Xia Yanqing stopped, turned his head and asked Mama Tang, "Mama has just arrived, look, do you want to take a look at your room first and rest for a while." ”

Her original intention, Mama Tang is new to here, so let's take a rest first, familiarize yourself with the environment, and don't say anything about the rules and etiquette today.

Also, since it has been set that Mr. Bai will teach in the morning and learn rules and etiquette in the afternoon, it is just over the hour, that is the time for her to study cultural classes, and she should go back to class.

Who knows what kind of character this Tang Ma is, and she must not let this Tang Ma feel that her time can be used by raising her at will.

Xia Yanqing had already expressed her meaning very clearly, but Mama Tang did not follow her meaning, "The slave maid is here to serve the second grandmother, where is there so much attention?" Don't be busy looking at the room first, the slave wants to talk to the second grandmother about your schedule. ”

So uncooperative? Xia Yanqing looked at the sky helplessly, so he had to nod: "Then invite Mama into the house to talk." ”

Xia Yanqing sat down in the hall of the upper room and instructed the maid to serve tea to Mama Tang.

Here, after Mama Tang, Mama Li, and the four maids met, they also sat down on the brocade stool on the side.

"Mama has nothing to say. My mother probably told my grandmother that there was another gentleman who taught me, and I was only halfway through today's schoolwork, so I really didn't dare to make him wait for a long time. Xia Yanqing said euphemistically.

Mama Tang's originally sophisticated eyes deepened, and she could hear from this euphemistic words that the second grandmother couldn't wait to leave.

She suppressed the displeasure in her heart, looked as usual, and asked, "When does the second grandmother plan to start learning the rules?" ”

Before, when the Wang family invited her, they said that the second grandmother had other homework, and before noon, it was time to read and practice words. She was very unimpressed at the time.

What is the situation of the Xia family's women, in the capital, as long as you pay a little attention to it, you will know.

Since you are an adult and have married a wife, you should calm down, serve your husband and in-laws well, and prepare to teach your husband and children. But this second grandmother spends her time learning these useless things, which is really messing around.

Who knows, the matter is not over, and when it comes, it has actually increased the time to learn poetry and painting.

She didn't know what to say about Wang Shilang's family. The Xia family grew up in the countryside, and it was just a matter of being confused, and even Wang Shilang's mother and wife were messing around with the Xia family, which was too much!

Xia Yanqing has been paying attention to the changes in Mama Tang's expression, but the city is very deep, and she is very good at hiding her emotions, and she does not show the slightest emotion.

At this time, she heard Mama Tang's calm inquiry, and she also slowed down her tone and replied, "This is still Mama's decision, you just came here today, you can rest for a day or a few days." You can decide when you want. ”

It seems that Mama Tang wants to start disciplining her as soon as possible. But after dinner, she had to go to Mr. Bai's yard to learn the so-called poetry and painting, and I don't know if Mrs. Liu had explained it clearly to Mama Tang.

She added: "I wonder if my mother-in-law mentioned it to my grandmother? In addition to reading and practicing calligraphy every day, after dinner, I also have to learn calligraphy, painting and poetry with my husband. ”

It was only at this time that Mama Tang's eyelids drooped, revealing some of her disapproval.

She first glanced at Li Momo, and then said slowly: "Probably no one has reminded the second wife, women should put morality first." If you marry a woman, you should serve your in-laws, aunts, and children. As for the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is just the pastime of the daughter's family, and some are the icing on the cake, and it is harmless if there is none. ”

Xia Yanqing pursed her lips, what this Tang Mama meant was that she shouldn't study.

She has not been here for a long time, but she knows the awe and admiration of the ladies of the capital for the palace. Correspondingly, the grandmother who came out of the palace also has a different honor.

Now that this Mama Tang has come out of the palace, she has just arrived, Xia Yanqing still doesn't understand her character, so naturally she can't take the liberty to refute her preaching.

And, to some extent, what Mama Tang said wasn't all wrong.

At least in the giant book of Red Mansions in another time and space, the second grandmother Lian, who is in the limelight in the Rongguo Mansion, is illiterate. did not lose the love of her elders because of this, but even took her husband to death, and her sister-in-law and the relatives and girls in the guest house also respected her.

The biggest problem is that listening to Mama Tang, she doesn't plan to train her to be like Wang Xifeng. According to Mama Tang's cultivation direction, she will be a noodle person in the future. According to the preferences of the people around you, knead them into their favorite shapes.

And the Wang family is not a noble mansion, people advertise a family of scholars. It is very likely that the next Spring Festival will be able to achieve a beautiful conversation between two brothers and two champions, and people do not intend to use the standards of the noble family to measure their daughters-in-law.
