"Auntie. Xue Zirong said coquettishly: "I won't let Xue Ningxiang know that I went to my eldest sister's yard." ”

"What if someone else bumps into it?" Huang Weishan reminded. "If you chew the root of your tongue to the eldest lady, and then she blows some pillow wind in your Ayah's ear, then my mother's life will be sad. No matter how bad your eldest sister is, there is your grandmother to protect her, and there is the huge Li family behind her, and we have nothing!"

Xue Zirong comforted: "A-Niang, it's because we don't have anything that we have to think of a way!"

"What can we do? Who is in charge of this Xue family now, don't you see clearly? In the future, don't you know who will be in charge of this Xue family?" Huang Weishan said: "Even if you want to get married in the future, your aunt and I may not be able to talk in front of the eldest lady!"

After Xue Zirong listened, she couldn't help but pout.

Seeing this, Huang Weishan hurriedly took Xue Zirong into her arms, and said warmly: "Zirong, you can bear with it again, and when you marry a good family in the future, A-Niang will be relieved." ”

Xue Zirong put her backhand around Huang Weishan's neck and said, "A-Niang, I don't want to leave you." ”

Huang Weishan scratched Xue Zirong's nose and said, "What stupid thing are you talking about?"

Xue Zirong twisted in Huang Weishan's arms, without words.

Huang Weishan looked at Qianyan and said, "Go, boil some water." ”

When Qianyan heard this, she immediately answered "yes" and went to the back kitchen with her mother-in-law.

Huang Weishan pushed Xue Zirong up from her arms and said, "It's time to sleep, get up early tomorrow to be a female celebrity." ”

After hearing this, Xue Zirong immediately pouted: "A-Niang, I don't want to learn from women, I want to read." ”

Huang Weishan reprimanded: "What kind of books do you read? Is it useful to read them? You have learned all the skills that your daughter's family should know, so that you will not be gossiped about when you marry someone else's family in the future." ”

When Xue Zirong heard this, she was dissatisfied: "The eldest sister can read, why can't I?"

Huang Weishan said softly: "Your eldest sister is different from you, although her aunt is gone, but your grandmother spoils her, if she marries in the future, even if the other party's family background is not good, she will be the head of the house." And you? If you can't beat her in other ways, you have to be better than her in the way she can't compare to you. ”

Xue Zirong said angrily: "Why should I compare myself with my eldest sister? Why can't I be like my eldest sister." The eldest sister said that a woman is not without talent, but only with talent and virtue can she educate her offspring. If a mother has no knowledge, no courage and no virtue, then the children she has educated are not as good as herself!"

"You ......" Huang Weishan listened to Xue Zirong's words, and was stunned and didn't know how to refute. Unexpectedly, Xue Changbing's child could see more clearly than her, who has lived for decades, and it seems that she has indeed not grown much over the years.

Xue Zirong choked on her mother after popping out the word "you", and thought that she was making her too angry, so she hurriedly said: "A-Niang, I, I didn't mean to be angry with you." It's just that I think the eldest sister is right!"

Huang Weishan softened her expression, touched Xue Zirong's head and smiled: "Well, A-Niang also thinks that your eldest sister is right." But A-Niang still thinks that you should learn the skills that your daughter's family should learn. A-Niang doesn't compare you with your eldest sister, so is it better for you to compare yourself with yourself?"

"What do you mean by comparing me to myself, A-Niang?" Xue Zirong asked inexplicably.

Huang Weishan said: "That is, your opponent is not your eldest sister, but yourself." If you make a little progress every day, you will naturally not have to worry about others being better than you, and you will not be jealous. This way, you will live a happier life. ”

After listening to Huang Weishan's words, Xue Zirong was overjoyed and said: "Auntie, what you mean is that if I embroider twenty stitches today, and I embroider twenty-one stitches at the same time tomorrow, this is progress, right?"

Huang Weishan listened, and said with a smile: "Zirong understands very accurately. ”

Xue Zirong laughed and said, "In this way, compared with myself, it's very interesting, and I feel much more comfortable." ”

Huang Weishan looked at Xue Zirong with a relieved expression, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. It's better than anything, as long as the child is happy!

Following.

Before the sky was completely bright, Xue Zirong took Qianyan into Xue Yun's small courtyard.

Xue Yun had just gotten up, and before she had time to dress up and change her clothes, she saw Xue Zirong sneaking over, and said with a smile: "Zirong, don't you sleep at night? ”

Xue Zirong ran to Xue Yun's side, got into her futon, and said, "Big sister, I can't sleep." ”

Xue Yun lay down on her side, hugged Xue Zirong and asked, "Why can't you sleep?"

Xue Zirong didn't speak, but took out a palm-sized book from her arms with a smile and handed it to Xue Yun.

Xue Yun took a look at it, it was a unique book dedicated to recording ancient poems, this unique book had been flipped over, the ridges had fallen off, and the pages were old, but it was still well preserved. "Yours?"

Xue Zirong nodded and said, "This is one of my favorite books. ”

Xue Yun was puzzled and asked, "Then what are you going to do for me?"

Xue Zirong said in a low voice: "I want to exchange my favorite book with my eldest sister for some other books, because I know that there are many books in my eldest sister's room, which I have never seen." My mother, you know, she doesn't like me to read very much, she thinks it's useless to read, and books are not allowed at home. A-Niang always asked me to learn to be a girl, but I just wanted to read. ”

Xue Yun touched Xue Zirong's head, a touch of pity flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "If you like it, just come and see." ”

"But......" Xue Zirong wanted to speak and stopped.

"Are you worried about the eldest lady and the fourth sister?" Xue Yun asked.

Xue Zirong nodded truthfully.

Xue Yun smiled: "It's better to write what you want to read into a note and tell me, or if I have a new book, I'll tell you." Then I put the book to my grandmother, and you go to her to read it. Your aunt won't say anything about you, will she?"

Xue Zirong listened to Xue Yun's suggestion and said overjoyedly: "Big sister, you have such a good idea." I can also tell Ah Niang that I asked Nu Hong at my grandmother's place, even if Ah Niang bumped into me reading a book, and my grandmother was there, she didn't dare to say anything. ”

Xue Yun looked at Xue Zirong's happy appearance, nodded with a smile, and said, "You shouldn't have breakfast yet, right? ”

Xue Zirong raised her eyes and looked at the sky outside the bamboo window, bowing slightly. I don't think anyone will come here so early!

Xue Yun saw Xue Zirong agree, and immediately said to the crescent moon standing on the edge of the couch: "Go, please prepare two more servings, and say that I want to leave Zirong's master and servant here for breakfast." ”

After hearing this, the crescent moon happily responded "yes", and pulled Qianyan towards the back kitchen where Lu Ran was.

Xue Yun saw the crescent moon and Qianyan leaving, so he pulled Xue Zirong up from the couch and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see my study." Whatever book you like, just read it. ”
