The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 66

[Chapter 66]

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the end of the year, and the New Year’s gift from Hebei has also been delivered.

Looking at the gift list, Mrs. Qiu smiled and said: “The three old masters are getting bigger and bigger, and this ceremony is getting less and less.” The bigger the official, the more money, but the more stingy he is.

Li’s mother said: “Madam, don’t look at it, let the old slave take it to them and store it in the warehouse!” After seeing it, it was just idle, it would be better if you couldn’t see it.

After receiving the gift list, Mama Li said, “Madam, I heard that the third master sent two big boxes of things to the fourth girl this time.”

Qiu Shi said: “It should be the old lady who spoke!” The only one who has a position to speak is the old lady, so this is a good guess.

Oak-hee, who received the gift, looked very calm, neither joy nor sadness. With a light expression, Yuxi ordered someone to open the box: “Look at what you have given?”

There are two large boxes of things, one of which is Zanhuang golden jujube, dried apricots and plums, dried pears and other things; the other box is a few pairs of paintings made of white reeds, which are very distinctive, including cranes and old men fishing. , The eagle spreads its wings and wants to fly.

Oak Xi instructed people to pack up everything: “Put the food in the kitchen. The crane hangs in my study, and “Old Man Fishing” is given to my eldest brother. I’m going to give it to my second brother.”

After receiving a gift, as long as it is not a single piece, there is nothing wrong with giving the extra gifts to others. But now the problem is that Oak-hee received a gift for the first time, but she wasn’t excited at all, but was able to distribute the gift calmly. This attitude makes one have to think deeply.

In the afternoon, Oak-hee went to Tingyun Pavilion as usual to learn the rules. Seeing Yuchen’s smiling face, he asked, “Did the third sister get something good?”

Yuchen smiled and said, “It’s not a good thing, just a bone china tea set. What did the fourth sister get?”

Yuxi avoided the important and said lightly: “Dad sent me several paintings. These paintings are very distinctive. I picked a crane and hung it in the study.”

Yuchen’s mood is a little complicated, and it seems that her father never gave her a painting. In Yuchen’s heart, the painting that her father gave must be a famous painting: “Really? Then can I go to your yard to watch the painting that my father gave you later?”

Oak Xi hesitated for a while, but finally nodded slowly, “Of course.”

Seeing Yuxi, Mammy Quan didn’t start teaching the rules, but asked, “The third master came back with a New Year’s gift today. The third girl is very happy to receive the gift. Didn’t the fourth girl get a gift?”

Yuxi nodded and said, “Yes, two big boxes.”

Mammy Quan asked Oak-hee to sit down. She also sat cross-legged in front of Oak-hee and asked, “Then why don’t I see joy on your face?”

Yuxi no longer bowed her head, because she had been taught by Mammy Quan to be petty, so she did not bow her head, but did not speak, and remained silent.

Grandma Quan said: “Do you have any resentment in your heart? You are resentful of the third master’s indifference to you over the years. Even if he gave you something this time, you still have resentment.”

How could Oak Xi bear this name: “I have no complaints, he is my father, the biological father who gave birth to me and raised me. I am very happy to receive the gift today, but I am not as happy as the third sister.” After a while, he said: “The third sister got a whole set of bone china tea sets. My two big boxes are not worth as much as one of the third sister’s cups.”

Mammy Quan was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reprimanded Yuxi with a stern face: “Don’t say that your father gave you two big boxes of things, just give you a feather, that’s also thinking about you, yes Your father has a loving heart.”

Yuxi wanted to laugh when she heard the words “Father’s Heart”. In her previous life, Han Jingyan ignored her for 16 years and treated her as nothing for 16 years. When she heard that she didn’t want to marry Jiang Hongjin, she even threw one. Bai Ling gave it to her. It was a great irony for Han Jingyan to use the heart of a loving father, but it was a pity that Yuxi didn’t laugh, but cried, tears streaming down her cheeks and falling to the ground drop by drop.

Mother Quan stayed in the Duke’s Mansion for more than three months, and she was quite aware of Yuxi’s situation, so she was not surprised that Yuxi would complain. Oak-hee was crying in front of her, but she didn’t persuade her, so she just sat there and watched Oak-hee cry. It was not until Yuxi finished crying that she handed a handkerchief to Yuxi, and her words softened a lot: “Wipe your tears!”

After Oak Xi regained her composure, she said embarrassedly, “Don’t take offense, Mammy.”

Mother Quan didn’t blame her, she just said, “Four girls, filial piety is the foundation of a person. If you lose filial piety, no matter how talented you are, you will not be in the world!” After a pause, she said, “Besides, whether a woman is before marriage After getting married, without the support of my father and brothers, it will be very difficult.”

Yuxi smiled bitterly: “I know what Mammy said, but…” After a pause, Yuxi said, “I’m not hiding it from Mammy, I haven’t seen my father since I was born, and everyone around me is with me. My father doesn’t like me or my mother, they all say I’m superfluous. So I think the gift I received this time should have been prepared by my stepmother, and my father didn’t know about it.”

Grandma Quan said in disapproval: “four girls, that’s also your mother. Fourth girls, I know that the third lady is the successor, but even if she is the successor, she is your elder. You are facing her. When the time comes, you must be polite and considerate, so that people can’t make mistakes.”

Oak-hee knew what Mammy Quan meant: “Mammy, I’ll correct it.” She still had a lot to learn.

Grandma Quan simply omitted the third lady. She has stayed in the Duke’s Mansion for so long, knowing that there is the old lady and the head lady Qiu Shi, even if Wu Shi comes back to Yu Xi, she will not be bullied. Grandma Quan said: “Four girls, there are all parents in the world. You must remember that the third master is not only your closest person, but also your greatest support. You must be respectful and filial to the third master.” Respectful and filial, It is a complete and comprehensive number of rituals, although it is only four words, but the inside is very different.

After hearing this, Yuxi said bitterly, “Mommy, I don’t know what to do.” She knew that if she wanted to live well in the Duke’s Mansion, she had to suppress her resentment in her heart, and then tried her best to please the old lady and his wife. Her father, but she can’t do it, she can’t pretend to like it when she hates it, and she can’t do it without showing her emotions.

Mammy Quan looked at Yuxi, and couldn’t help but sighed in her heart, because she was too demanding, after all, a five-year-old child had been treated unfairly all the time. It’s rare to be able to do this now: “I’ll teach you how to do it.”

Oak Hee had a relaxed look on her face: “Thank you, Mommy.”

Mammy Quan shook her head and said, “No need to thank you. Nurturing mama is not just about teaching rules and etiquette, but also teaching how to behave in the world and socialize, and how to be the director of the family and the master.” She can’t guarantee whether she is sincere and filial. , but what she wants to ensure is that Oak-hee can’t be picked on wrong in her life.

Yuxi was stunned. It turned out that the mother-in-law taught so many things. No wonder no one disapproved of Yuchen when she went out to socialize. Later, when she became a queen, she was praised as a mother of the country. It turned out that the mother-in-law took up so much Big portion too. The old woman who taught her in her previous life was not worthy of being called a nurtured mama at all.

Mother Quan asked, “Why, do you feel too much?”

Yuxi shook her head hurriedly and said, “No, I’m just very happy. I’m very happy to learn so many things from Mammy in the future.” These are all practical things, and they will last a lifetime if they are learned.

Grandma Quan said lightly, “I can teach, but how much you can learn and how much you can learn is up to you.” There is a saying that goes well, the master leads the door, and the practice is up to you.

Yuxi nodded hurriedly, “I will definitely study hard.”

When the time came, Oak-hee was dismissed from get out of class. As soon as he left the house, he saw Yuchen’s personal maid Shiqin waiting in the courtyard. Shiqin was left by Qing Yuxi for dinner: “After dinner is over, my girl wants to go to the Rose Garden with the fourth girl to see paintings.”

A strange look flashed on Oak-hee’s face. Looking at the painting, what’s so good about the painting made of reeds? At this time, Yuxi had never thought that Yuchen would think that what Han Jingyan gave her was a famous painting: “Okay.” Since she was invited to stay, she could also take the opportunity to taste the medicinal meal made by Mother Quan.

Looking at the table full of dishes, the dishes on the table are all white and blue-and-white porcelain, and the chopsticks on the plate are glowing with a warm luster at this time. If you look carefully, the chopsticks are all made of ivory. .

Oak-hee thought it was too extravagant, and she was indeed the granddaughter that the old lady loved the most! Even a plate and chopsticks are so beautiful. However, is it a waste of time to eat a large table of dishes? I murmured in my heart, but I wouldn’t say it.

Yuchen looked at the clothes, went to the dining hall, saw Yuxi, and said with a smile, “Fourth sister, have you been waiting for a long time?”

Oakhee shook her head, “No, just arrived.”

At this time, four maids walked in, the first was holding a glass of water, the second was holding an empty basin, the third was holding a copper basin of water, and the fourth was holding a handkerchief.

Yuxi saw Yuchen rinse his mouth first, then spit into the second basin, then wash his hands in the copper basin, and finally dry his hands with a handkerchief.

Yuxi’s eyes flickered, it’s not that she has never been served by a maid, but she doesn’t have such a big battle as Yuchen. Yuxi didn’t say anything, and also took the tea handed over by another maid, and the next action was the same as Yuchen.

After the two sat down, Yuchen smiled and said, “I don’t know what kind of dishes the fourth sister likes. Next time, I will let the chef cook the dishes that the fourth sister likes. This time, I will invite the fourth sister to serve.”

Oak Xi’s Chinese dinner was all four dishes and one soup. Even Yu Xi felt that it was a bit of a waste, and she didn’t know how much the dishes at this table would cost: “Sanjie, I’m not picky eaters, I like to eat everything.” People who are too hungry will be picky eaters.

The dishes on this table are not only full of color, flavor, but also taste very good, even better than that of the cook on the old lady’s side.

Yuxi was seventy percent full, and was not going to eat any more, but she didn’t expect the maid to bring another bowl of medicinal food. Now, eat without eating.

After taking the first bite, Oak-hee almost rolled her tongue in, it was so delicious. It was the first time that Oak-hee had eaten such delicious food. I have lived for more than 20 years in my last life, and I have never eaten such delicious food. It is really a waste of life.

After dinner, the maid brought tea and rinsed her mouth and cleaned it again. Yu Xicai asked, “Third sister, this medicinal meal is delicious, who made it?” In fact, Yu Xi guessed that it was Mother Quan who made it.

Yuchen smiled and said, “This is made by Mammy Quan, and I use a bowl every day.” Yuchen, who is used to good things, was also surprised when he first ate the medicated meal prepared by Mama Quan. .
