Chapter 48: Conflict
When Xu saw her praising Yu Yan, he smiled and replied softly: "The second uncle is really a mistake. Over the years, the second uncle has gone out of the family, and there have always been some rumors in Shangrou City, saying that our two houses are unfamiliar, but the rumors are not worth caring about at all. The second uncle and the old man will have a deep brotherhood in the future. ”
Mrs. Wen said, "Let's eat, if you don't eat, the food will be cold." ”
Xu glanced at the old lady, only to feel that his heart was cold, but he had no choice but to follow the old lady's meaning and greet everyone: "These meals are all very new meals, and the big kitchen in the house still remembers the taste of the second master, and specially made these shrimp stuffed balls, garlic broccoli." ”
Xu Shi greeted with all his might, but the old lady was bored of it, so she just greeted her little granddaughters and grandchildren: "You should also eat more, Wenzhu, you too, the spicy chicken slices in front of you are your favorite in the past, don't be embarrassed, eat more." ”
Aunt Han was on the side, looking at Yujun coldly, only to feel that she was dignified and delicate, and when she heard the old lady shouting Wenzhu to eat and drink, she couldn't help but praise in response: "In the past, Wenzhu only came to the banquet of the two mansions two or three times, and the old lady remembered Wenzhu's dietary preferences, and Wenzhu, a junior, can be regarded as blessed." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Yu Jun and exclaimed: "These children in the old man's mansion are all handsome and handsome, with lovely appearances, like pearls and jade, which is lovely. Especially Yujun, a child, looking young, small, and slender, how can he remember so many cumbersome etiquette. But when I attended the festival just now, I was still a good ritual, which made me admire and admire. ”
Wen Du saw Aunt Han praising Yujun, and her heart was greatly relieved, but in order to maintain a humble face, she just excused herself: "Aunt Han is too much to promote her, Yujun is only seven and a half years old this year, and she knows a little cumbersome etiquette, but it is nothing." ”
Hearing Wen Duan's words, the satisfaction was overflowing, and the expression on Xu's face, which had finally eased up, stiffened again.
Aunt Han knew that Wen Du liked it, and she really thought Yujun was cute, so she shook her head and said, "Yesterday, I was worried that the etiquette was not proper, and I practiced it all afternoon, so the etiquette will not go wrong today." Yujun, the child, participated in the sacrifice ceremony, and all the etiquette when meeting us was very good, which made me have to admire. I don't know how long Yujun has been practicing. ”
Caixiu Caizhu stood behind Yujun, hearing Aunt Han praise her own miss, she couldn't help but be very happy, the Caizhu remembered Mama Guan yesterday's laziness, and said eagerly: "Our young lady has never been exposed to these cumbersome etiquette in the past, Mrs. sent Mama Guan to teach young lady etiquette, that Mama is very lazy, and does not care to teach, some etiquette is only said once, the loss of our young lady is smart, remember it once, otherwise it will be ugly today." ”
Caizhu is fast-talking, Yujun didn't expect Caizhu's words, and she couldn't stop it.
Xu's face was not good when he heard this, and Yujun hurriedly said: "Caizhu said nonsense." ”
Old Madam Wen had a keen mind, and naturally expected that it was the Xu family who secretly warned Mama Guan and did not allow her to teach Yujun patiently. Old Madam Wen pursed her lips and smiled, and without waiting for Xu to speak, she spoke: "It's really a joke." His Majesty rewarded the grandmothers who taught etiquette to the house, Xu's management of these grandmothers is too lenient, teaching them to be so lazy and perfunctory, so that people listen to it is still like words! I treat you leniently, and the affairs of the house are under the jurisdiction of your Xu family, thinking that you are harsh, but I didn't expect that you would let your subordinate almost bully the young lady. ”
Xu's criticism was even more unexpected, she really didn't want Yujun to behave well at the sacrifice ceremony, and she was not allowed to do Yujun's etiquette better than Yuyan, and she did ask Baoxin to tell Mama Guan not to teach Yujun well, who expected, Yujun behaved so well, Caizhu was so bold, and dared to say it so indignantly in front of everyone.
Xu lowered his head, looked slightly flustered, suppressed all the unwillingness in his heart, and responded to Mrs. Wen: "Old lady Mingjian, the daughter-in-law really doesn't dare to be so lenient with the grandmother below, but there are too many affairs in the house recently, there are too many things that happened some time ago, Aunt Xiao and Aunt Ruan are sick, and the daughter-in-law has to take care of these people, and she has to teach Yuwan Yuyan Yucong and them, and she can't be busy for a while, so she is so negligent, when Aunt Xiao went, the lord was in the palace, and the daughter-in-law was in charge of government affairs alone, and she was very tired. Therefore, it will lead to the indulgence of the subordinates. ”
It is really ridiculous to listen to Xu Shi talking so much perfunctory, appearing to be justified everywhere, and also mentioning the deceased Aunt Xiao.
Old Madam Wen said coldly: "You always have a reason, you always have a reason. The girls in the house, you have to take good control, don't have this kind of thing of people bullying the master. ”
When Yujun heard this, she hurriedly spoke for her wife, "Old lady Mingjian, Mrs. treats Yujun very well, it is the business of the subordinate to be perfunctory and lazy, and the lady treats Yujun very well." ”
When Mrs. Wen heard this, she felt a little satisfied in her heart, and said to Xu: "It's really rare that this child Yujun is still talking for you, now that Yujun is raised by your side, you have to treat Yujun equally, Yuwan Yucong has it, and Yujun has it." The concubines of our Wenfu are more noble than the concubines outside. You don't want to be thin on Yujun. ”
How could Xu not hear the beating meaning in the old lady's words, even if he was unwilling in his heart, he still had to smile and say: "Yujun is well-behaved and cute, how can the daughter-in-law not like it." ”
For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on Yu Jun, and Yu Jun only felt flattered.
Xu was unwilling to be very reluctant.
By the time this meal is over, it's already time to apply.
The wind was cold in winter, the ice and snow on the ground melted and frozen, and she was afraid that the broken ice would slip on people, so Mrs. Wen specially ordered someone to arrange for her mother-in-law to prepare glass lanterns and prepare to escort the little girl.
The wind blew in torrents, and all the people had eaten up.
Old Madam Wen looked outside, then stroked Han Lian's hand and got up, and said, "It's not early, so let's do it." ”
"Old lady, the mother-in-law is ready."
When the snow was fast, the red curtain of Qingtang was opened, and Wen Xu led Aunt Han and Wenzhu outside, it was dark outside, and the mothers-in-law were already waiting on the road with lanterns.
After everyone sent Wen Xu and the others to the door of the hall, Wen Xu turned around, looked at Mrs. Wen, and said, "Old lady, the concubine will go first." The gifts prepared for Miss Yujun will be sent to the courtyards later. ”
The old lady nodded, "Yes." ”
Seeing that they were far away, Mrs. Wen also returned to Yongxiu Monastery, and Yudie Yuzhuo also retired and left. Wen Du thought that there was nothing to do today, and Yudie Yuzhuo had not been close to him for a long time, so she led the two of them to Aunt Liu's yard.
Yujun Yucong Yuwan and Xu are both in Bitao Courtyard, so they naturally follow by.
The Xu family was a little unhappy that Yujun was praised, but when he saw that the master went to Aunt Liu's place, he felt even more dissatisfied.
Yuwan Yucong and the others also had to go back to the courtyard, and several people stood together and wore cloaks.
Yuwan turned his head and saw that the colorful embroidery was a hat for Yujun, and the hairstyle comb on Yujun's head was extremely delicate, so he smiled and said to Yujun: "Your hairstyle is really good-looking." ”
