Sweet Beauty Chapter 12: Don’t be afraid of people’s words

Chen was not an ordinary boudoir girl. Not only was she not unhappy, but she was very happy when she heard what her daughter said and directly bought the property for her to take care of.

Actually, her daughter said these words, she did not have some hidden worries in her heart, but although she had been married to Bai Tongzhi, the second master of Bai for more than ten years, she had been living in this Shu, only a few times when Bai Tongzhi returned to Beijing to report his work with him in Beijing After living in China for a period of time, subconsciously, I didn't take this return to Beijing for debriefing too seriously.

But since my daughter mentioned it and is willing to go to school, she is naturally very happy and supportive.

She thought about it for a while, and then said, "Shu'er, I think it's better for me to write to your uncle and ask him to choose a good female shopkeeper for you, and give you a serious class."

"Beijing's shop Zhuangzi or something, you may not be able to buy a good one if you buy it temporarily. I will pick a few for you from my dowry industry and take care of it first, so you can practice your skills. These mothers I originally planned to give it to you in the future. Then I will ask your uncle to recruit a shopkeeper who is familiar with the industry in Beijing, and tell you about the situation in Beijing. Then you can try to tell your mother what you want to do. What kind of estates, where and what kind of villages, what do you think?"

Chen Shi himself grew up learning these things, and now it's natural to talk to her daughter, but Jing Shu's eyes light up and she nods. She felt that in her previous life, she was tightly restrained by Lan Ma, and later in the cage-like place in the White House, she really didn't know her mother very well.

The next day, Jingshu was busy, taking classes, learning to read the account books, and taking care of the accounts. Then the shopkeeper sent by her grandfather's family introduced her to the situation of various industries and the characteristics of industries in Beijing. , what properties she can buy, where should she start to take care of it, etc., there are so many things, not too many.

Fortunately, Jingshu's temperament is inherently tolerant, and she was under house arrest in Zhuangzi for more than a year in her previous life, and her tenacity was trained beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Learning these things will not feel boring to her, on the contrary I find it interesting.

And it seems that the more I learn, the more secure I feel in my heart.

When Mrs. Chen was free, she would invite the shopkeeper to lead Jing Shu to her own dowry house or shop, so that she could learn more flexibly and thoroughly.

Although Jingshu in her previous life was relatively indifferent, she had some foundations and then practiced outside for a long time, so she learned things very quickly these days, which made the shopkeeper amazed and made Chen feel very Proud, I think that my daughter probably inherited the business talent from her family.

Of course she wouldn't tell Jing Shu's father, her husband, Mr. Bai Er.

Jing Shu was busy here, and Jiang Yu received a report from Hong Ying, who changed her name to Winter Shadow, and reported Jing Shu's daily life to Jiang Yu in every detail. After seeing Jing Shu's study report, Jiang Yu Yu didn't expect this little girl to have such great energy, but it was a pleasant thing to see her having a good time, so she instructed the following again, and arranged for Hong Ying to mobilize the manpower when necessary. He went to the north to pacify the chaos.

The Northland was hit by the disaster. Many victims were instigated by the bandits. Many prefectures and counties had already fallen, and the matter was already out of control. Jiang Yu received a secret order to let him go directly to the North from Shuzhong. to the barracks and mobilize the army to quell the chaos.

In October, Jing Shu welcomed a person who made her feel very complicated, her aunt Lan Mu.

Mother Lan's daughter-in-law who lived in Zhuangzi gave birth before Jingshu's illness, so she took leave to take care of her daughter-in-law, and after Jingshu recovered, she had more memories of her previous life, because it felt too complicated and it was too complicated Wanting to see Mother Lan, when Mother Lan sent a letter saying she wanted to come back, she sent someone to tell her to let her live in Zhuangzi for two more months.

Jing Shu still wants to let Mother Lan stay in Zhuangzi and don't come back, but because of Mother Lan's "loyalty" and special status, Mother Lan insists on coming back, even Jing Shu can't really stop allowed.

Mother Lan is Jingshu's grandmother, and she used to be Jingshu's eldest brother, also the nurse of Bai Yanzhang, the eldest son of the second master Bai. She has been taking care of Bai Yanzhang since then. She was sent to Shuzhong by Mrs. Bai and became Jingshu's nanny. When Jingshu was a little older, she taught Jingshu the etiquette of aristocratic family, which was equivalent to acting as Jingshu's nurturing nanny.

Lady Lan has always really loved Jingshu, and she takes good care of her in her daily life, but she has an old-fashioned temperament and is strict with Jingshu's etiquette. Mother Lan's daily ear and face life are related.

But these are not the main points. The most complicated thing for Jingshu is that she escaped from Zhuangzi in her previous life. Caixong said that during the more than a year she was away, Lan Ma was still living in Ling Guogong's mansion, but But she did not follow the woman, but lived in the family temple in the back mountain of Ling Guogong's mansion. She was not under house arrest, but she voluntarily.

Mother Lan watched Jing Shu grow up. She knew every bit of Jing Shu, and it was absolutely impossible not to know that the princess of the prince's palace had changed.

But she didn't choose to report or find a way to find Jingshu, but chose to live in the temple of Guogong's house for a long time, whether she felt ashamed and repented, or prayed for Jingshu in the temple , said to Jing Shu, in fact, there is no difference, it is a kind of betrayal.

Although you have a million reasons, I will never accept any betrayal.

Maybe it was because she had been aggrieved in her previous life. In this life, Jingshu's temperament was a lot more resolute, and she was unwilling to find reasons for others to wrong herself. Because the grievances reached the limit, the exchange was nothing but a complete obliteration.

Let's talk about Lan Ma's return to the White House, and she frowned when she saw her young lady's full study schedule. She felt that this was the schedule for cultivating a scholarly lady, and she was cultivating business girls?

What kind of boxing skills are you still learning? It's really indecent!

//

Mother Lan wants to stop these courses for Jing Shu, and re-establish a schedule for Jing Shu. The daily time is again for the art of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and embroidery, and she is still in Chen's room for Jing Shu. A task was given, saying that next year will be the 60th birthday of Jingshu's grandfather, Mrs. Bai. In addition to the birthday gifts prepared by the second lady, Jingshu needs to prepare her own birthday gift for her grandfather, and let her embroider a pair of old Mrs. Bai with Shu embroidery skills. Happy birthday.

As soon as Jing Shu heard her mention this birthday picture, her face darkened on the spot.

In her previous life, she also embroidered such a birthday picture. It was a picture of the deputy crane and green pine. It took her more than half a year to embroider it by day and night. In the end, her grandfather just glanced at the storeroom, and he didn't even give a smile. Instead, he praised a birthday character sent by the third cousin of her uncle's house. The word is well written. She is very strong and worthy of being the daughter of the Bai family.

Because at the time when she was being dismissed by the Wen family, her grandfather thought she had lost the face of the Bai family.

Jing Shu will never do those thankless things again!

And she will not follow the schedule she made to learn those useless piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, those are just things to pass the time, but now she just feels that there is not enough time, do you still need to pass the time?

She said lukewarmly, "Mammy, you know that my embroidery skills are average. I think since I'm going to give it to my grandfather as a birthday present, the more sincere the better, my grandfather likes ancient paintings. Wouldn't it be better to express my filial piety if I found an authentic ancient painting for him?"

Speaking, without waiting for Lan Ma's rebuttal, she turned her head and hugged her mother's arm, and said in a coquettish tone to Chen's: "Mother, do you think my idea is good? We are poor in Changzhou. It is better that the royal city of Yizhou has been an ancient capital for many years. There are many literati from aristocratic families in the city who have collected many isolated copies of ancient paintings. Why don’t my daughter go to her grandfather’s house before her father returns to Beijing at the end of the year, and look for what she might find. A precious orphan or an ancient painting as a gift for my grandfather? And my daughter has not seen her grandmother, aunt, and them for a long time. If she returns to Beijing in the future, she will not know when she will be able to see her.”

Speaking of this, she's a little red-eyed. Didn't she see her grandmother and them for a long time? For a long time, those warm memories are a little fuzzy.

Chen shi has never liked Mother Lan very much, but it was only when she gave birth to her daughter that she had a difficult labor. It was Mother Lan who brought the oxytocin drugs in Beijing to keep their mother and daughter safe. Second, she always thought that her daughter would always return. In the capital, one needs to be familiar with the rules and etiquette of the family in Beijing, which is how much tolerance is given to her. Seeing her bossing her daughter, she is already displeased. At this time, listening to her daughter's proposal, she naturally hugged her daughter and said goodbye with a smile.

Mother Lan listened to this mother and daughter singing together, and she couldn't help frowning deeply. Why did she only leave for three or two months, and her young lady's temperament has changed so much? Looking at her behavior and speech, it is a lot different from the original gentleness, virtuousness, chastity and tranquility!

And what made her feel most uncomfortable was that the young lady didn't treat herself as close and trusting as she used to, but instead she often felt cold.

Mother Lan said with a sullen face: "Ancient paintings can be found on behalf of others, but the congratulatory pictures embroidered by the young lady are of another kind, and when the young lady first arrives in Beijing, she will need to show off her skills. Showing the embroidery skills of the young lady at the grandfather's birthday banquet can let everyone know more about the young lady's talents. As for the embroidery skills that the young lady said is not good, there is still some time before the birthday banquet, and the young lady can take advantage of this time. Practice your embroidery skills well."

After speaking, he paused again, and said, "Let's allow the old slave to say disrespectful words, the old slave has heard about the resignation of the Wen and Bai families, although it is not to blame the young lady, no matter the reason, this is all It is something that is harmful to the reputation of the young lady. The young lady needs to be more careful in her words and deeds, and always demand herself to be virtuous and filial, so that everyone can abandon their prejudice against the young lady and reduce the impact of the resignation on the young lady."

These words really mean that not only Jing Shu's face darkened, but Chen Shi couldn't help but face sinking.

On the other side, Dong Ying wondered if she had never seen a mammy in such a style before. She looked at Mammy Lan with a strange expression on her face.

Chen's heart was displeased, but she didn't make a sound. She glanced at Jingshu, then took a cup of water and slowly plucked the tea leaves to see how Jingshu responded.

These days, her view of Jingshu has changed a lot, and she hopes that she can stand up everywhere so that she can control the people around her.

Jing Shu knew what her mother meant. In fact, when Mother Lan came back, she thought about it, she didn't want to bring Mother Lan back to Beijing!

Because no matter how much Lan mama loves herself and thinks for herself, she is not loyal to her, nor to their house, she is loyal to Mrs. Bai from beginning to end!

Mother Lan has been with her since she was born, she is in charge of her room, she knows everything about her, and even everything about their room, she is afraid that she is very clear. Take it to the capital, but it is Mrs. Bai who is loyal, which shows her lethality to their room.

While Mother Lan was talking, Jing Shu had moved away from her mother and sat up straight.

After Mammy Lan finished speaking, she took away all the expressions and looked at Mammy Lan quietly, seeing that she had been straightening her waist and looking back at herself with a solemn face. After a long time, Jing Shu chuckled softly, He wrote lightly: "I am Miss Bai's family, and I will not be an embroiderer in the future, so what kind of embroidery skills do I show? The value of an ancient painting that I have carefully selected is not as good as a poor embroidery picture? Mammy, you are really joking. The family is a scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River, but not the Zhen family in Shu."

The Zhen family is the largest embroidery family in Shu. Every year, the tribute of Shu embroidery in the palace comes from the embroidery workshop of the Zhen family.

"As for the matter of withdrawing from the relatives," Jing Shu said with a cold voice, "I have no guilt in my heart, why should I be afraid of what others say? As for being virtuous and filial, it is not for show. As for me, I may be about to leave the land of Shu, shouldn't I visit her old man at this time to show my filial piety?"
