Chapter 30: Stuff in the Bag
In the courtyard of the eldest lady.
After listening to the maid's report about Mrs. Xu's arrival in the front yard, Shen Jiaqing was the first to sit still, her cheeks were slightly red with jealousy, and she looked at Lin Shi with dissatisfaction and said:
"Mother, how can such a good thing as snow lotus paste be used for Shen Jiayin's girl, it's really a waste!"
Lin glanced at Shen Jiaqing and blamed:
"She's the future crown princess, why can't she use it?"
"It's you, why can't you give me some courage? Are you going to be a princess too? ”
Although the Lin family knew in her heart that with her daughter's background, she was still far from being the crown princess, but she was angry and was pressed everywhere.
"Mother, do you think I don't want to?"
When Shen Jiaqing heard Lin's words, he stood up from his position suddenly, completely ignoring the injury on his foot, and roared:
"It's because you don't have the ability, why blame me?!"
"Ah......h
The already swollen foot hurt even more because of the exertion, and Shen Jiaqing covered his foot in pain.
Seeing this, Lin also ran over in distress and helped his daughter to sit down.
"If your feet are uncomfortable, don't move."
After Shen Jiaqing sat down, Lin also sighed:
"Alas, let's not talk about these bad guys, let's wait for the good news from your father."
"If you can study hard with Mama Xia, if you really enter the door of the noble family in the future, so that they can look down on you."
Although Mama Xia's identity is not high, her fame is great, seeing that the Lin family talked about this, Shen Jiaqing didn't make trouble, she looked at the Lin family with some apprehension and asked:
"Mother, my father will help me, right?"
Seeing Shen Jiaqing's eyes full of anticipation, Lin touched Shen Jiaqing's hair with some distress, and said firmly:
"Definitely."
She, the husband, doesn't care about anything, if she doesn't help their mother and daughter in this matter, she will definitely make a mess.
After Shen Jiaqing heard her mother's affirmative words, her indignant heart had a trace of comfort, but a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she seemed to have some countermeasures.
Glancing up at the Lin family, seeing that her mother didn't notice her careful thoughts, Shen Jiaqing hurriedly lowered her head.
"Uncle is back?"
Before Shen Congwen entered the room, Lin saw him at a glance, immediately stood up, and said happily.
"Hmm."
Shen Congwen strode into the room, only nodded slightly, and glanced at Shen Jiaqing in his spare eye, at this time Shen Jiaqing was sitting in his position holding his feet, bowing his head silently.
"Did you go and ask about what you said in the morning?"
Lin asked with a smile while pulling Shen Congwen to sit down, but her smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes at all.
"It's been negotiated."
Shen Congwen grimaced and replied lightly:
"When Qing'er can listen, Mama Xia will send someone to call Qing'er."
The faces of Lin and Shen Jiaqing, who were still joking, instantly stiffened, and Lin asked suspiciously:
"What do you mean when Qing'er can listen?"
Lin's voice was a little broken, and it could be seen that she was already trying her best to suppress it.
"Yin'er will be the crown princess in the future, what she wants to learn is naturally different from what ordinary women want to learn, Qing'er doesn't need to learn, isn't it good to learn less?"
Shen Congwen frowned and asked.
But Shen Congwen's words directly stimulated the Lin family, she changed her gentle and virtuous appearance, looked at Shen Congwen with a little hideousness, and asked loudly:
"Shen Congwen, do you think that your daughter deserves no way out in this life, she doesn't need to study in this life, she just needs to eat and drink at home and wait for death?"
"Even if you don't have any interest in this life, don't you even want to fight for your daughter?"
Seeing Lin's shrewd appearance, Shen Congwen's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said impatiently:
"I've listened to your words and whispered to beg Shen Congyan, what do you still want me to do?"
Shen Jiaqing sat on the side, watching his father and mother quarrel, and he didn't dare to raise his head at all with his neck cured.
And after the Lin family heard Shen Congwen's words, they became even more angry.
"Yes, I asked you to beg him, but what I asked for was that Qing'er could learn from Mama Xia like her Shen Jiayin, instead of just learning a little!"
"Aren't you afraid to say more because of your insignificant face?"
Seeing that Lin was so aggressive, Shen Congwen stood up directly and said angrily:
"It's unbelievable."
After Shen Congwen finished speaking, he directly threw up his sleeves and left.
And Lin was angry, and scolded him at his back:
"Nothing to! It's like a shrunken turtle every time! ”
However, her words did not make Shen Congwen turn back at all, but accelerated the pace of his departure even more.
"Mother, my father is gone, don't be angry."
Shen Jiaqing saw that his father left without looking back, and then saw that his mother was already so angry that he couldn't breathe, so he hurriedly opened his voice of relief.
Although Shen Jiaqing's words did not give Lin much comfort, they reminded her.
After thinking for a while, Lin sat down next to Shen Jiaqing and said:
"Since her Mama Xia has promised to teach you, don't wait for her to send someone to call you, you will take the initiative to go over and wait in advance every day in the future, she Shen Jiayin will learn, and you will also learn."
"As long as your attitude is good enough, I don't believe that she Mama Xia dares to drive you."
Lin's words made Shen Jiaqing's eyes light up, and she said happily:
"Mother, you have a good idea! Just listen to you! ”
Lin Shi saw Shen Jiaqing's well-behaved and obedient appearance, so she nodded with satisfaction, she raised her head, and said proudly:
"Come on, go, keep an eye on the Lan Courtyard for Mrs. Ben, and keep an eye on their movements."
"Yes."
After hearing her command, Lian Xin, the maid beside Lin, hurriedly stood up and responded.
"Qing'er, look, these things still have to be fought for by ourselves, as long as we fight, we are indispensable, no
Ours has to be ours. ”
Lin looked at Shen Jiayin proudly and said.
"My daughter remembered."
Shen Jiaqing lowered his eyes and answered obediently.
The sun is shining outside, and the abacus crackles inside, which makes people unbearable to look at directly.
After noon, the house cleaned up the bamboo courtyard and gave it to Mama Xia to teach the two sisters of the Shen family.
After Shen Jiayin rested a little, she brought Peony and Yanhong to the bamboo courtyard, but she didn't expect that Shen Jia was already waiting in the bamboo courtyard early in the morning.
What Shen Jiaqing wore today was the one that the embroidery girl made the wrong size that day, and it should have been Shen Jiayin's clothes.
As soon as she saw Shen Jiayin coming, she deliberately looked at the maid Xiaocui beside her, and said worriedly:
"Xiaocui, look at Miss Ben's clothes, is there a mess?"
"Miss, your clothes are neat and not messy."
Xiao Cui bowed her head nervously, for fear that her young lady would make excuses to punish herself.
After Shen Jiaqing heard Xiao Cui's words, he raised his head and looked at Shen Jiayin proudly.
When Shen Jiayin saw Shen Jiaqing come out like this, she knew that Shen Jiaqing was deliberately showing off her clothes to herself, and she couldn't help laughing a little.
Can't she see that Peony and Yanhong are wearing clothes that should be the ones she Shen Jiaqing is wearing? But Shen Jiaqing didn't want to remind her that some people were too stupid and would only be proud in their own world.
Seeing that Shen Jiayin didn't react at all, Shen Jiaqing suddenly felt a little embarrassed, she snorted, and sat down in her seat, preparing for the next class.
"Is the sun coming out in the west today? Is my cousin so attentive? ”
Seeing Shen Jiaqing so positive, Shen Jiayin couldn't help but quip.
"Hmph, aren't you also very positive?"
Shen Jiaqing's fierce eyes scratched Shen Jiayin and retorted.
"I'm punctual."
Shen Jiayin replied without changing his face.
"You!"
Shen Jiaqing was angry, why did she come early to be courteous, and she Shen Jiayin was punctual when she came early?
Seeing that Shen Jiaqing's face turned green with anger, Shen Jiayin smiled happily, she liked to tease Shen Jiaqing, and she laughed when she saw her anxious appearance.
"Miss, be careful, don't be angry."
Xiao Cui carefully tugged at her sleeve on the side and reminded Shen Jiaqing that after hearing it, she grabbed her handkerchief indiscriminately and let out her breath, and after she was angry, she sat back in her place and no longer paid attention to Shen Jiayin.
Hmph, Shen Jiayin, just wait, the person who has the last laugh must be me.
Shen Jiaqing sat in his position and fantasized.
As soon as Shen Jiayin saw the inexplicable excitement on Shen Jiaqing's face, she knew that she must be thinking about something bad again.
However, for Shen Jiaqing's little tricks, Shen Jiayin has never really paid attention to them.
Shen Jiayin also sat in the position that had been prepared for a long time, and the two of them were opposite each other, and after sitting down, the two faced each other across the aisle.
"Both young ladies are here~"
Mama Xia led the people over, looked at the two of them with a smile and said.
Mama Xia is now their teaching mama, Shen Jiayin thought of this, so she stood up and saluted to Mama:
"Mama Xia is well."
Shen Jiayin did the standard student's courtesy to the teacher, and after Mama Xia saw it, her appreciation for Shen Jiayin in her eyes was a little more.
Shen Jiaqing saw that Mama Xia was very satisfied with Shen Jiayin's salute, and she didn't let Difu salute and said:
"Qing'er, please Mama'an."
After Shen Jiaqing finished speaking, he also glanced at Shen Jiayin defiantly, as if to say: Will you salute?
Shen Jiayin was dumbfounded, her cousin, she was still so competitive.
Mama Xia nodded slightly at Shen Jiaqing, then walked to her main seat and sat down.
The early spring is still cold, and the elderly Mama Xia is dressed very thickly, but even so, she walks very softly, and the posture of sitting down is also very graceful and luxurious, even if she is not wearing very luxurious clothes, she is also noble by her every move.
Mama Xia's elegant posture naturally brought endless coercion to Shen Jiayin and Shen Jiaqing, and the two immediately put away their careful thoughts and sat down obediently.
Mama Xia looked at the well-behaved two people in front of her with satisfaction, and said with a smile:
"Two young ladies, what we are going to talk about today is about some common etiquette in the palace."
"The etiquette commonly used in the palace is divided into three parts: one is to salute, the second is to eat, and the third is to speak."
After Mama Xia finished speaking, she looked at the two maids she brought beside her and ordered:
"Purple jade, purple clothes."
"You show the two young ladies respectively the difference between the women in the palace saluting the emperor and the queen."
Ziyu Ziyi walked to the front when she heard the voice, stood still, and waited to listen to Mama's instructions.
The skillful appearance of the two knew that there must be many people in the capital who invited Mama Xia to teach etiquette and rules.
"First of all, the ...... prostration"
