Chapter 25: Watching the Theater

Shu Yao has met with her cousins, and the Duke's Mansion is only four rooms. But there are a lot of grandchildren and granddaughters, in modern times, it is a big family, and Shu Yao's cousins are counted, Shu Yao's cousins are seven, if Shu Yao is counted, the old lady has eight granddaughters in front of her, and the most strange thing is that the eight granddaughters are not much different in age, the eldest eldest eldest daughter Shu Yu Kangxi was born in 16 years, and the youngest second daughter Shu Ying Kangxi was born in 21 years, only one year younger than Shu Yao.

The daughters of the Eight Banners have to go through a triennial draft, so most of their cousins are a batch, although there is a fixed number of food and clothing between cousins, the concubine is slightly better than the concubine is the official of the Duke's Palace, but Shu Yao's jewelry is mostly arranged by the Guarjia clan a long time ago, and it is very conspicuous among the cousins, Shu Yao is relying on the Guarjia clan in the Duke's Palace, and after getting married, she relies on her husband, and it is inevitable that there will be comparisons among the cousins, but it is only more than ten years in the mother's house, and the status of the husband's family determines their fate. Shu Yao was ignorant about this, anyway, E-Niang said that she would satisfy her desire to live a leisurely life.

Shu Yao's family just returned to the capital and did not get along with their cousins, but Shu Yao's livestock are harmless, the cousins can see it, and they all know that Shu Yao's mother Guerjia's family is not easy to mess with, and there are temptations for Shu Yao, more of a friendship, the second room Zhiyuan's family can see that they have a lot of family resources, Zhiyuan is not rising, and the daughter is noble by her father, before they find out the details of Zhiyuan, the cousins will not easily offend Shu Yao, among them, Shu Jing, the second daughter of the third room who has been raised in front of the old lady, is very enthusiastic about Shu Yao on the surface, but in fact, she is secretly scheming, She has always regarded herself as a girl from the Duke's Mansion, Shu Yao's family is back to compete for the title, Shu Yao is dressed better than her, Shu Jing is strange if she doesn't watch out for Shu Yao.

Shu Jing is not as favored as her cousin Li Zhiqing, and she can't suppress Shu Yao's words when she returns to the capital from Huizhou, Shu Jing, who grew up in the capital and experienced wealth, is too useless, although Shu Jing has made up her mind to make Shu Yao look good, she has also seen the world, and she will not show hostility in person, with Shu Jing's innocent and lively temperament, it is easy to get close to Shu Yao, and it will be more convenient to become a close cousin, Shu Jing's abacus plays very well, but she doesn't know that Shu Yao has special abilities, although it doesn't work when it fails, But the ability has an additional attribute, that is, people who are hostile to Shu Yao will react, as long as they are close, no matter whether Shu Yao can find out their true thoughts or not, Shu Yao will have cold sweat in the palms of her hands, so Shu Yao will hide away from Shu Jing's approach.

"Although the sixth girl said that the second sister-in-law taught well, she still has to understand a little bit about the rules of the capital, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." Mrs. Tong Jia's third room chatted, with a look of concern and love for Shu Yao: "The house has invited a master for their cousins, no matter whether they are out or out, they are all studying in one place, second sister-in-law, let the six girls also go to school, the daughter's family can't always be confined to the house to be a female celebrity, you still have to know a few words, people like ours, the girl must marry after the draft." ”

The old lady frowned, it didn't sound like a taste, Tong Jiashi said this to her niece, Li Zhiqing smiled faintly, and pressed the old lady's arm, "Grandmother, the third aunt is not wrong, she always loses the demeanor of the noble girl of the Eight Banners as a female Red Cross." ”

Guerjia hooked the corners of her mouth, the third wife, Tong Jia, was not afraid, like a cannon fight, she didn't care about the front and back, she had been in the Duke's Mansion for so many years, didn't she see how much the old lady loved her granddaughter Li Zhiqing? And their niece, who is famous in the capital, is not a good stubble, she is the master who refuses to suffer, Tong Jia's family wants to beat rabbits with grass, killing two birds with one stone, but you also have to use the right tricks, no wonder the power of the Duke's Mansion was tightly grasped by the old lady, and Tong Jia's biological children were raised in front of her, just people like Tong Jia's family, it was easy to handle it. The old lady is easy to handle, and the Guerjia clan can also use her.

Tong Jia's face was slightly stiff, and she also knew that this temper could not be changed, "Female popularity is also very important, I heard that every year there will be a female red in the school examination, the second girl Shu Wan must be no problem, I, I am worried about the seventh girl Shu Jing, she is clumsy, with her sister-in-law, I will not hang my heart, Eniang, do you think you want to invite another show girl with outstanding skills to teach their sisters embroidery?" ”

"There are still many years before Shu Jing's draft, so there is no need to find Xiu Niang with great fanfare, let the second girl teach her sisters more, and save outsiders from watching the Duke's Mansion lively." The old lady made a final decision, and there was no way to refute, "The second girl you gave birth to is too kind and quiet, and our Duke's Mansion is a meritorious heirloom." ”

"Yes, the daughter-in-law must teach the second girl well." Tong Jia's aggrieved pout, as if she didn't dare to disobey the old lady, the old lady was not good at giving Tong Jiashi too much face in front of her four daughters-in-law, and she was counting on her to contain Zhiyuan and his wife, so she eased her tone, "When the two girls are drafted and married, it's not too late to find Xiuniang." ”

Shu Wan, the daughter of the third room, Shu Shuxin is enough for the next draft, and Shu Yao and others will be late for another term, so the old lady also has some truth, and she is not in a hurry for many years.

Guerjia glanced at Tong Jia's family, it was very interesting, but I didn't expect Tong Jia's to grow in a moment? She did it on purpose, she wanted to get closer to her biological daughter Shu Jing, always in front of the old lady, Tong Jia's whip was out of reach, Shu Wan was gentle and docile, and recruited each other in the name of teaching embroidery, presumably Shu Jing would not shirk, and when the time came, Shu Jing would not please the old lady with her heart, Tong Jia's was also extraordinary, and she would play with the old lady.

When it comes to Shujie, Guerjia's is just seeing two sides, but Guerjia's is very accurate, Shujie looks good, a rich and noble son, but he doesn't take care of things, he prefers to mix in the house, and he is raised like a phoenix egg, and the scenery of the Duke's Mansion is good, in case of a disaster, Shujie can't afford to take the heavy responsibility, Tong Jiashi may be weak, the old lady either doesn't take Shujie seriously, or she dotes on Shujie too much, and now she doesn't teach ruthlessly, learn to take responsibility, and when Tong Jiashi regrets it in the future.

Guarjia is the most disdainful of a man who has no soft bones, and at the same time Guarjia is very proud, although the eldest son Shuxuan is obsessed with reading, he is definitely not confused in major matters, and the second son Shuyi is only one year younger than Shujie, but it is very easy to play Shujie, and he has to help him count the money when he is sold by Shuyi.

Shu Yao stood with her head down, as if she was respectful and gentle, but in fact, she was making up for sleep, this ability to sleep while standing with her hands is a unique skill, and she couldn't help but hear the voice: "How is the female celebrity of the sixth sister?" ”

The proud Guerjia couldn't help but droop the corners of her mouth, Shu Yao raised her eyes to look at Shu Jing, who looked curious, and shook her head honestly: "It's not good, my female celebrity is very bad." ”

This is already Shu Yao's scruples and exaggeration, Shu Yao's first embroidery, it was originally a peony, so that everyone could not see that it was a flower, in order to comfort Shu Yao, whose fingers were pierced with needles, Shuyi once said against his will: "It's quite similar." As for what it looks like, Shuyi really can't say it, Shu Yao is rare to work hard, to prove that she can practice female red, and then embroidered peonies, but the embroidered silk handkerchief was sewn on Shu Yao's body, Shu Yao was so anxious that she cried, Zhiyuan and his wife, Shuxuan Shuyi laughed after being silent, no one is more genius than Shu Yao.
