It's not a lot of gold and expensive things, but Yan Mingqiao's filial piety.

When I go out, I still think about home, and I don't have any mind to play, which is very rare.

Shen said: "Let the small kitchen heat up, and put it on when the meal is passed for a while." Save some for the meal and eat when the five girls wake up. ”

Staying for dinner is just a matter of orders, but Shen is getting used to doing this, and she also tries to get along with Yan Mingqiao like an ordinary mother and daughter.

When it was time to eat, Shen and Yan Guogong ate the sweet potatoes brought back by Yan Mingqiao.

The maid in the small kitchen roasted again, peeled off the dusty skin on the outside, and placed it on a plate with a golden color. Shen was afraid of getting his hands dirty, so he scooped up the food with a small spoon, while Yan Guogong held the oil paper and ate it in a few bites.

Yan Guogong said: "It's rare that she still thinks about home when she goes out." ”

Yan Guogong came to the main courtyard for half a month in the previous month, but this month has been seven days.

He remembered that Yan Mingqiao went to learn to ride a horse today, so he thought about coming over and asking how he was learning, yes, and generosity, the two concubines did a good job.

Shen said: "Mama Zhao said that she learns quickly and played in Zhuangzi for a while in the afternoon. I knew that it was better to let the three girls and the four girls go together, but today, I saw that the two girls were very tired, and I didn't think about it, so I didn't care about their young age, so I sent some supplements over. ”

Shen's eye medicine is silent, let Meng know the difficulty and retreat is the first step, Yan Guogong is the second step, Yan Guogong often comes to the main courtyard these days, but Yan Mingqiao does not eat here every day, the father and daughter see less, and the Shen family will be more affectionate.

Moreover, people are afraid to compare.

Go farther to Zhuangzi, learn to ride a horse is not light, how Yan Mingqiao is not tired.

Yan Guogong thought about it, and felt that Yan Mingyue might not be able to understand even if she learned to ride a horse, "Madam just arranges it." ”

Yan Mingyu is the person who eats the most roasted sweet potatoes, roasted two for her, she ate them all, remembering her sister's goodness, and instructed the maid: "I see that the fifth sister loves to drink milk tea, you tell Mama Li the recipe." ”

It's also a reciprocat.

If Yan Mingyu was dressed as a poor and white person, he would probably want to rely on modern prophets to make money in business, make a fortune, and strive to make his life better.

However, she dressed as a daughter of a family who had fallen into the water, her mother was noble, her family was rich, and she had a smart sister, who could live this life beautifully without doing anything.

Moreover, she has already tasted the taste of hard work, and it must be that soft rice is better.

Yan Mingqiao woke up once when she was sleeping on weekdays, ate a little food, and soon fell asleep again.

She seems to understand why the second sister likes to sleep, it is really comfortable, the warm and thick quilt is separated by the cold air, she is in the quilt, she doesn't have to think about anything and don't have to do anything, it's as if she is in her mother's arms.

Yan Mingqiao's face was red from sleep, and she called out softly to her mother.

Next.

Hello as usual in the morning, except for Yan Mingyu, who was still grounded, the girls and concubines in the house came.

The youngest seventh girl was only one year old, and she was brought by her grandmother.

Yan Mingyue and Yan Mingru did not take leave because their legs trembled because they were tired yesterday.

Meng Xiaoniang was more deferential than usual, probably knowing how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and did not mention the matter of letting her daughter and Yan Mingqiao work together.

After inviting An, the Shen family left a few older concubines for breakfast, Yan Mingqiao was the youngest among them, but she sat closest to the Shen family.

This is like an invisible beating, although Yan Mingqiao knows little about these methods, but she can feel that her mother is like a mountain that is difficult to cross, and she is a small seedling on the mountain, and the third sister and the fourth sister are at the foot of the mountain.

Yan Mingqiao is just young, on the contrary, she is smarter than others, she understands why she came to the main courtyard by herself.

Just as it costs money to buy snacks, everything has a price, and the mother's kindness to herself is also due to the fact that she has done her homework well.

Yan Mingqiao wants to work harder, she will only do better than her two sisters.

But Shen didn't plan to teach Yan Mingqiao too many things at this time, smart is smart, it's just a six-year-old child, only six days off a month, it's better to have more fun.

Shen smiled and said to Yan Mingqiao: "Where do you want to go to play today, but do you want to go around the street?" ”

Yan Mingqiao shook her head, the second sister was grounded last time she went out, and the eldest brother was also fierce, anyway, she hasn't finished reading the book she bought, so it's better not to go out for the time being.

"It's good that my daughter is at home."

Shen wanted the house to be bare, and there was no banquet for a while, so he said, "If it's boring, go to the study." ”

The study is not a place for Yan Guogong to deal with official business, it is regarded as the library of Yan Guogong's mansion, there are many books in it, and Yan Mingxuan will stay in it for a while when he comes back from vacation.

Yan Mingyu had been there before, but Yan Mingyue didn't like to read and never mentioned it.

Shen felt that Yan Mingqiao should like it, and sure enough, Yan Mingqiao's eyes lit up, and her voice was sweet and crisp, "Thank you, Mother!" ”

The Shen family will not favor one over the other, "Yue'er Ru'er wants to go?" ”

Yan Mingyue gritted her teeth and said, "My daughter also wants to go." ”

Yan Mingyue was only eleven years old, and what she thought in her heart couldn't help but show her face.

This is the first time she feels the gap with Yan Mingqiao, Yan Mingqiao will be liked by her mother-in-law, and the taste of Yanmingqiao is important when she eats, and she will be asked where she means, Yanmingqiao will become a daughter-in-law, a daughter-in-law on the family tree.

It's only been more than half a month.

Therefore, Yan Mingyue wanted to seize this opportunity.

It seems that the concubines are like this, both cautious and ambitious. Don't look at this as Yan Mingyu doesn't want, but it's something they dream of, whether it's something they learn or something else, in the future, even the dowry for marriage is different.

It's just that Yan Mingqiao is ignorant, and Yan Mingyue really wants to replace her.

Shen waved his hand: "Then Ru'er should go with you, don't break the book when you get to the study, and find Aunt Ningxia if you have anything." ”

After eating, Ningxia took the three girls to the study.

The study is in the front yard, which is spacious and bright, with bookshelves in rows, and a small table and a couch by the window, where you can read a book by the window.

If it is cold today, charcoal basins have been placed everywhere in the house, and it is not cold to read.

Yan Mingqiao doesn't know many words now, and every time she feels that she has recognized them all, there are always a few rare words, but it won't affect her reading too much.

There are a total of seven layers of bookshelves, and Yan Mingqiao is dazzled, but she can read one in a day, and she has to choose carefully, just like delicious snacks can't be devoured.

Yan Mingqiao chose a book and asked Ningxia to help take it down, so he went to sit and read the book.

Ningxia couldn't help but take a second look, the sun shone down and fell on the faces of the five girls, adding a layer of light to her side, which looked fluffy.

Yan Mingqiao would turn a page every once in a while, with pen and ink on the side, and then transcribe what he didn't understand.

She obviously looked into it, and she didn't know that the people behind her were moving.

Yan Mingyue passed behind Yan Mingqiao three times.

To be honest, she didn't want to come here, she finally had a vacation, who wanted to study.

She glanced at Yan Mingqiao, she looked serious, and she didn't know who to pretend to.

Why do you love it so much, just pretend to be obedient in front of your mother, but now your mother doesn't stare at it, and she still pretends to be.

Yan Mingyue thought that it would be good to wait for her father to come back from work and see her studying.

Two hours in the morning, soon it was time to eat, Yan Guogong had a party at noon, and he didn't come back, Yan Mingqiao ate in the front yard.

The rice in the big kitchen is also better than when I was in Wutong Garden, there are rice noodles and beef meatballs, roast pigeon, stir-fried choy sum, and a bowl of pigeon soup, which is particularly delicious.

After eating, when the smell on his body dissipated, Yan Mingqiao went back to the study, and the book was only half read, if he went back to sleep, he couldn't finish reading.

But Yan Mingyue and Yan Mingru couldn't hold on anymore.

Reading is too boring for them, and even kicking shuttlecock is better than this.

Yan Mingyue thought that as long as Yan Guogong came back at night to see her studying, she went back to her yard and slept for a while.

Yan Mingyue really just wanted to sleep for a while, and she also persuaded Yan Mingru, "It's supposed to be a holiday, and I don't have to go to read, even if my father comes back, he won't say anything, just an hour, and then go back to the study after an hour." ”

Yan Mingru was moved by this, and went back to Luhuayuan to sleep with peace of mind.

It's just that Yan Guogong came back in the afternoon, and after coming back, he went back to the main courtyard and told Shen that he was going to deal with official business.

Shen said: "Buckwheat and they are in the study in the front yard, saying that they want to read today, don't disturb the grandfather." ”

Yan Guogong didn't want to go to the study, but when he heard Shen say this, he wanted to go and have a look.

In the study, Yan Guogong saw Yan Mingqiao, she sat upright, and looked seriously, the paper on the side was already full, and she didn't find that there was another person in the room.

Ningxia wanted to salute and say goodbye, but saw Yan Guogong raise his hand, standing behind Yan Mingqiao and looking at it for a while, everyone likes motivated children, Yan Guogong is no exception, especially this daughter is very smart.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Guogong walked around the study again, but did not see the other two daughters.

It's not disappointing to say that it's not a holiday, after all, it's a holiday, but it is inevitable that Yan Mingqiao is more motivated.

Yan Guogong stayed for a while and went out, Yan Mingyue and Yan Mingru woke up and went to the study again, Ningxia naturally didn't say much that Grandpa Guo had come in the afternoon, and the two stayed in the study until the evening before leaving, and they were hungry with Venus in their eyes.

Yan Mingqiao was also hungry, her head was full, but her stomach was so hungry, she wanted to go back to eat quickly.

So he asked Mama Li, "What is in the small kitchen today?" ”

Going to the big kitchen to pick up food is what the big kitchen has to take, but the small kitchen is made by the Shen family, and there are many things, many of which Yan Mingqiao loves to eat, and there are many choices.

Mama Li said: "Girl, Madame said that she would have dinner with her grandfather in the evening." ”

Eating with Yan Guogong means more dishes, Yan Mingqiao can't say that he is intimate with this father, because he doesn't see much on weekdays, Yan Guogong started his post early, and his dismissal time is uncertain, and he ate together three times this month.

Yan Guogong is very tall and will praise her, but he will not smile at her like his mother, nor will he hug her.

Therefore, in Yan Mingqiao's heart, the Shen family ranks first, the second sister ranks second, there is a grandmother and a husband in the back, and Yan Guogong is still very behind.

After entering the house, Yan Mingqiao saluted in a proper manner, "I've seen my father, I've seen my mother." ”

Yan Guogong asked Yan Mingqiao to get up, "I heard your mother say that you went to the study, and you can go if you want to go in the future, and Buckwheat will see if you like this or not." ”

Yan Guogong's way of expressing satisfaction is very simple, that is, to send something.

Chapter 11: Snow Feast

◎The first snow fell in Shengjing City, and Yan Mingqiao "had no choice" to take a day off. ◎

There are a lot of things in the palace in the public and private treasury of Yanguo.

The aunt and grandmother in the house used to be a concubine (now she is a concubine), and the old prince (who went to escape the summer in the summer) runs it well, plus the Shen family has a good housekeeper, so in the generation of Yan Guogong, there are more and more things in the warehouse.

Yan Guogong used to subsidize Jinhuayuan, but he went to the private warehouse.

I've given jewelry materials, and I've given silver, and they're all valuable things anyway.

But for Yan Mingqiao, Yan Guogong felt that it couldn't be too cheesy, so after handling official business, he picked and chose a wolf pen with Hetian jade as the pen.

The pen barrel is carved into a bamboo-shaped, the jade color is shiny, a few bamboo leaves are glowing with white light, the pen has not been washed, and the pen tip is pointed.
