Chapter 16: Be open and honest

Jiang Mingxue's talent in embroidery is obviously outstanding, if she is interested in learning, Mingyue will not mind helping her.

She smiled slightly and said to Jiang Mingxue: "Fifth sister, do you like to do embroidery work?" ”

Jiang Mingxue opened a pair of cute big eyes, and there seemed to be a light in her eyes.

She nodded and replied without hesitation, "Yes." ”

"Then you can make it clear to your mother that you can add embroidery to your mother's education, and with professional embroidery guidance, you will be able to go further, learn more kinds of embroidery, and embroider better works."

Jiang Mingxue's eyes lit up at first, and then she hesitated: "But my aunt said that embroidery is only an inferior job, and she taught me, just hoping that I can master a craft, and I won't have a bad life in the future......"

It is precisely because of this that when she first entered the boudoir, her grandmother asked her what courses she wanted to learn, and she did not dare to propose embroidery, but her mother was in charge.

Her mother-in-law arranged for her to take courses for the women of the family - piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Mingyue felt that she had pointed out the way for Mingxue, if the other party despised this skill, then she would have no choice.

"There is no distinction between high and low skills, why don't the fifth sister bring this to Aunt Xiang."

Mingxue is timid and cowardly, lacking assertiveness, I don't know what Aunt Xiang is like, if she is stubborn and always thinks that her embroidery skills are inferior, Mingyue is unwilling to force them to change their minds.

It's a good intention, but don't backfire.

Ming Xue nodded hesitantly, a trace of secret anticipation rose in her heart. The eldest sister said so, if the aunt knew what the eldest sister said, it is very likely that she would change her mind, if the aunt changed her mind, she would have the opportunity to learn more embroidery skills in the boudoir!

Mingzhu sat aside, watching the conversation between Mingyue and Mingxue throughout the whole process, and suddenly felt a little strange.

For the eldest sister to persuade Ming Xue to specialize in embroidery, if someone else changes, she may doubt the eldest sister's intentions, after all, she does not learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but instead learns embroidery, she will think that this is not a proper job. After all, as a qualified woman from a family, she needs to know at least a little about the four arts, and then specialize in one of them, so as not to lose face.

At this point, Mingzhu is in line with Aunt Xiang's thoughts, or rather, with the thoughts of most people.

But the object of the eldest sister's persuasion is Ming Xue. Ming Xue is not good at any of the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and after a few years, she has not even touched the fur, and there is no need for others to shake it.

Then, the eldest sister was not to shake Mingxue's heart to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as she said, it was for Mingxue's goodness, so she persuaded her to specialize in embroidery.

When did the eldest sister become so enthusiastic?

Not only to Mingxue, but also faintly mentioned it to her before, suggesting that she focus on the piano.

She thought about it for a long time, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that what the eldest sister said was very reasonable.

Mingzhu looked at Mingyue sitting on the other side of the Huanghuali round table, and looked deep in thought.

"Eldest sister," she said softly, "Since you are proficient in calligraphy and painting, it is understandable to put down the four arts for the time being." The study of historiography is not without precedent, but I still don't understand why I still need to study medical scriptures. ”

There is a doctor surnamed He in the family, if he has any incurable diseases on weekdays, he can pass it on, but there is no lady who learns the medical scriptures in person.

Mingyue knew that it was not easy to change the concept of her two sisters, and she did not aim for it.

A smile tugged at the corner of her mouth and looked at Mingzhu: "A few days ago, I was about to get sick, and it took me a long time to get better, so I was thinking, if I knew some pharmacology, maybe I wouldn't have committed so many taboos, and if I was good, I would be able to do it faster, and I would have been spared so many sins." ”

Mingzhu looked at Mingyue suspiciously, if it was just to make fewer taboos, he could order the maid to write it down, and pay attention to it from time to time, where do you need to learn the medical scriptures in person?

Mingyue noticed the doubt in her eyes, and did not explain, looking back at her gaze calmly, calmly and calmly.

She knew she was acting very different from her old self, but so what? She's still her, she's not a monster with a different body, why do you have to think about disguising yourself in every possible way?

Moreover, in the eyes of the elders, she has just experienced the obstruction of her marriage, and some changes are understandable, and when this matter is about to come out in the future, the two sisters must think like this.

Mingzhu looked at the eldest sister in front of her, the person is still the same person as before, not only the appearance has not changed, but the temperament of the connected body is also the same as before, but the current eldest sister is not as cold and lonely as usual, but has more silk - human touch.

Mingzhu thought about it seriously, and it was indeed a human touch. The eldest sister obviously had a lot more smiles on her face, and she was willing to say so many things to them, she originally thought that she was having a plan, but Mingzhu didn't find the benefits of doing this to the eldest sister after thinking about it.

Mingyue naturally has her own ideas this time. In the previous life, the two younger sisters were affected by themselves, and they died at a young age, in this life, Mingyue took the initiative to find them, hoping that they could be happy and healthy in this life.

Seeing that Mingzhu was still vigilant, Mingyue simply said openly and honestly: "Inviting the two sisters to come here today, not only to give some suggestions to the two sisters, I hope you can take fewer detours, but also to eliminate some misunderstandings with the two sisters. ”

There are too many threats from the outside of the Jiang family, and the enemies are still hidden in the shadows, if the inside is not ironclad, unite and help each other, then it is an opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of.

Ming Xue was flattered: "Why did the eldest sister say this? I didn't misunderstand you-"

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered her previous opinion of her eldest sister, and her face was hot: "That's it...... I just didn't expect the eldest sister to have such a good temperament, and she used to be the heart of Mingxue's villain......"

Mingyue smiled: "It's okay, I used to be obsessed with poetry and painting, and I ignored everything, and I did ignore my sisters." ”

The hesitation in Mingzhu's heart did not dissipate so quickly, at this time she pursed her lips and said: "Eldest sister is kind, Mingzhu understands, I will consider the eldest sister's opinion again, and thank you eldest sister today." ”

Mingzhu is different from Mingxue's timidity and cowardice, she is very assertive, with a little pride and awkwardness, and because of her long-term unwillingly concubine status, she has a stubbornness in her heart. It is not a day's work to make her trust Mingyue.

Mingyue had already expected that for Mingzhu, it would naturally be best to gain her trust, even if she couldn't get it, as long as she didn't become an enemy of her and secretly made it bad, she wouldn't be able to harm her big things.

After saying everything that should be said today, Mingyue picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "After chatting with the two sisters for such a time, I suddenly feel a lot more cordial, and the two sisters will have to interact more in the future." ”
