Chapter 14: The Perfect Lady Project
Three days later, Xia Ruixi was settling accounts with her in Mrs. Xia's room, and saw Liang'er's head shaking outside, so she found an excuse to go out with a hand stove.
Liang'er smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said in a low voice: "Miss, the slaves and maids have inquired clearly." ”
Liang'er was surprised by Xia Ruixi to get things done so quickly, but this place is not the place to ask carefully, she smiled slightly: "Very good, you should keep vigil at night." ”
Liang'er hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "The slave and maid also know another thing, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
"You say."
The slave maid heard from the mother-in-law who guarded the door in the lady's yard that a few nights ago, Sister Wan'er came to the lady's room and cried. Madame kept her for nearly a cup of tea. ”
Xia Ruixi smiled: "You did a good job, go down and rest first." If someone asks what to say and what not to say, you know? "She felt like she was working underground.
If what Liang'er said was true, then what Wan'er was looking for Mrs. Xia late at night, Xia Ruixi could probably guess some. It's really uncomfortable to be watched behind you all day, and it seems that this girl really can't stay around.
thought that it would be easy to change girls, but when she euphemistically mentioned to Mrs. Xia that she didn't want Wan'er, she was fiercely opposed by Mrs. Xia. Mrs. Xia said with a calm face: "I'm not dead yet, it's not your turn to do whatever you want!" ”
Xia Ruixi didn't understand why her change of girl would cause such a fierce reaction from Mrs. Xia. I don't know what Wan'er said to Mrs. Xia, she said aggrievedly: "Why did my mother say this? Although the daughter is stubborn, don't you know what kind of person she is? ”
After Li Niang comforted her softly, Mrs. Xia also felt that she was making too much of a fuss. Although Li Niang is a confidant, it is inconvenient for Mrs. Xia to say some of the next words in front of Li Niang. She sent Li Niang, and Fang said with a calm face: "Wan'er, that girl, I look very good, very sincere, and very loyal person." She has followed you since she was a child, and she has suffered from you a lot, and she has to take care of you a lot during your illness, and she has no complaints. Tell me why you suddenly don't want her? Is it because you ask her something and she won't answer you? I'm telling you, that's my order. The last voice raised his voice, full of endless majesty.
Xia Ruixi naturally couldn't tell her because Wan'er took refuge in her behind her back. You must know that in Mrs. Xia's eyes, this family and everything in the family belongs to hers, she is the head of the family, and the girl next to her daughter came to show her goodwill, which is not a mistake, but a sign of loyalty. If Xia Ruixi really said this, maybe Mrs. Xia would have some other ideas.
It's true that Mrs. Xia really loves Xia Ruixi, but she is completely different from Master Xia, who is a little rough-wilted. She is shrewd, good-spoken, deep-minded, and extremely strict with Xia Ruixi. Xia Ruixi often felt extremely pressured as soon as she stood in front of her, and she was always afraid that Mrs. Xia would expose her identity as an imposter at a glance, and then immediately correct her on the spot. I had to say: "My daughter is not here for this." If a mother is good for her daughter, how can her daughter not know? ”
Mrs. Xia snorted coldly, "It's good if you don't get angry with me." She cultivated her daughter in strict accordance with the standards of this era, and strived to cultivate a perfect lady who could go to the hall and enter the kitchen, who was not only gentle as water but could please her husband, but also could independently support a family and be able to take charge of herself.
Xia Ruinan is weak by nature, Mrs. Xia can't do it, she can only find a good husband for her, but unfortunately there is no perfect thing in the world, the husband is good, and the mother-in-law is too powerful. But after a few years, it would be good to find a way to let Wu Zi'an go to the foreign post, and try to get Xia Ruinan to follow.
Xia Ruibei, her mind is too narrow-minded, and her mind is a little wrong, I am afraid it is difficult to meet Mrs. Xia's requirements. Mrs. Xia can only take advantage of the present to teach her more strictly, and then pray to God that the future third son-in-law's family is a generous family, and then prepare Xia Ruibei's dowry more generously, so that Xia Ruibei can rely on her mother-in-law's house.
Only Xia Ruixi has a good comprehensive personality, but unfortunately she is too stubborn, and Master Xia is too favored, which has lost the face of the Xia family, and also made her unable to raise her head among the former sisters. Thanks to God's mercy, after almost taking Xia Ruixi's life, she forgot everything in the past and changed as if she were a different person. Mrs. Xia naturally refused to let go of this rare opportunity, she firmly believed that as long as she spurred properly, he Xia Ruixi would definitely become a talent, her reputation for being gentle and virtuous, and managing the family well would be carried forward in Xia Ruixi, and her youngest son Xia Ruiyu could also have another powerful protection in the future.
Xia Ruixi naturally didn't know what Mrs. Xia was thinking, nor did she know Mrs. Xia's plan to cultivate perfect ancient ladies. Headache explained: "Wan'er is too selfish. When her daughter was afraid of the future, she ......, "Okay, what she is most afraid of is Wan'er to seduce her future husband, in modern monogamy, Xiao San is still pervasive, not to mention this man is the sky, and the society where polyandry and concubinery is legalized?"
Mrs. Xia, as a person who has come over, can not understand these careful thoughts of the girls, but she has her own plans. Now, her cultivation plan is at a critical moment, and she especially needs Wan'er, an ear god, to help her guard Xia Ruixi.
At that moment, Mrs. Xia said lightly: "Very good, you have finally made some progress." Your concerns are not entirely unreasonable, but she has served you for so long, and it is worth saying that she is creditworthy. Under the rule of the family, it is not about doing whatever you want, but about paying attention to methods. You just have two girls Chunliang now, and you suddenly got rid of her, which will chill people's hearts, who will dare to follow you in the future? Let her stay with you for now, and when the opportunity is right in the future, I will send her away for you. ”
It seems that today's affairs are completely hopeless, Xia Ruixi was about to retire, and heard Mrs. Xia whisper: "Instead of thinking about getting rid of people all day long, you should think about how to make good use of these people." You are now in your own home, and your parents will naturally think about everything for you, and give you everything that is good. But in the future, when you come to your mother-in-law's house, your mother-in-law will reward you alone, can you get it if you want to get it by your heart? Have you ever thought about your sister's day? I hope you don't worry me the same when you get married. ”
This can be regarded as a heart-wrenching word, it seems that she wants to integrate into this society, live her own little life, and have a lot to learn. Mrs. Xia, who loves her daughter, has knowledge, vision, and means, is the best teacher, Xia Ruixi raised her eyebrows and said sincerely: "Don't worry, my daughter knows." ”
Mrs. Xia sighed: "Xixi, it's not easy to be a daughter-in-law. Even if my mother closes her eyes in the future, she can't be completely reassured. ”
Xia Ruixi looked at Wan'er's pretended picture of low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, attentive and thoughtful, but in fact, there was an expression of excitement, like swallowing a fly. "Okay, I'll bear with it." This is a test question, first of all, you must see Wan'er as the person sent by her mother-in-law to go undercover by her future mother-in-law, you can't rush, you have to be guarded, and you can't let her be idle, Xia Ruixi believes that she will definitely find a way to solve the problem.
Xia Ruixi quietly brought a high hat to Wan'er, saying that she did a very good job, and then supported her to do things, so that she was busy, but let Chun'er and Liang'er watch from the sidelines, and said: "Study." Wan'er was unwilling, but she had to do it, and she kept teaching Chun'er and Liang'er.
Wan'er almost cleaned up this room alone, and all the corners of the walls were cleaned up, and she was busy for a few hours. When it was late at night, Xia Ruixi didn't call Wan'er to rest, and asked her to teach the two little girls to recognize tea. Wan'er complained bitterly and yawned more than once, but Xia Ruixi still stared at the book and turned a deaf ear. Wan'er had no choice but to look at Chunliang's two girls, Liang'er pretended not to understand, and Chun'er kindly persuaded: "It's late at night, and the bed is hot, Miss should rest early?" ”
Xia Ruixi didn't raise his head: "Tomorrow, my mother will test my homework, and the two of you will go to rest first." Wan'er can accompany me. ”
Wan'er's face turned green. Chun'er couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister Wan'er has been busy all day and is tired, so it's better to let her rest, and the slave will accompany you." ”
Xia Ruixi raised his head to look at Wan'er and nodded: "You have worked hard." Let Liang'er keep vigil tonight, and both of you will go down and rest. Wan'er, you will come and wake me up on time tomorrow morning, and I will go to my mother to serve. ”
Wan'er responded, went back to the room to rest with a bitter face, and was about to fall asleep, when she suddenly remembered that she had promised her wife to keep an eye on Xia Ruixi all the time. Xia Ruixi asked Liang'er to keep vigil today, and she saw Liang'er sneaking in from outside the mansion during the day, so there must be something to hide from her. I didn't want to sleep anymore, so I had to touch the corner outside Xia Ruixi's room to listen.
As soon as I put on my shoes, Chun'er's voice came from the door, "Sister Wan'er, the window in my house is broken, it can't be closed, the cold wind is blowing, Miss asked me to squeeze in with you all night, is it okay?" ”
Chun'er had just helped her, and Wan'er couldn't refuse her, so she had to open the door and let Chun'er in.
After Chun'er was settled, Wan'er made an excuse, "Chun'er, I have a stomachache, you sleep first, I'll come when I go." ”
Chun'er smiled: "I'll go with you." Before she came, Xia Ruixi had already told her that after she broke the window in her room, she must guard Wan'er every step of the way, especially not to let Wan'er get close to the main room where Xia Ruixi lives, and let Wan'er not see the traces. Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, today is Xia Ruixi's opportunity to prove her usefulness.
Wan'er hurriedly waved her hand: "No need." It's cold, dark and smelly, what are you going to do? Hurry up and go to cover it. ”
"It's because it's cold and dark, so you can't let Sister Wan'er go alone. Let's go, let's go together, and it just so happens that I want to go too. Chun'er couldn't help but say, and enthusiastically took Wan'er's arm and was about to go out with her.
Wan'er was helpless, hated and annoyed, but she had to give up her unfinished career.
said that Liang'er moved her own bed and put it next to Xia Ruixi's bed, and after the two of them slept well, they reported to Xia Ruixi the news she had inquired about in the past few days.
