Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 23: : Widow and eldest daughter, no guidance
Although the courtyard next to the main courtyard is also good, it is not as good as the water pavilion that diverts water into the hospital. Lotus flowers shine on the water. How can Yang Shuwan be willing to agree: "Old lady, the water pavilion hides the wind and accepts the water. The scenery is unique. It's The house has the best feng shui and is the most nurturing place. If Jiajia is not in good health, wouldn’t it be better to live there?"
Old Madam Yu twisted her hand with the beads for a moment, then raised her eyes and looked at her: "Do you still remember how Shuixie Pavilion came to be?"
Yang Shuwan's face froze, and the smile on her face became forced.
Old Madam Yu said quietly: "It was built by Mr. Xie with the money."
"It's not that Jia Jia has bad health..." Yang Shuwan squeezed the handkerchief in her hand. The Xie family has been dead for many years. Now she is the head of the Yu Mansion. Why can't her Jia Jia live in Shuixie Pavilion?
The words were said so clearly, but Mrs. Yang still didn't understand. Mrs. Yu frowned: "Sister Jia has a bad health. The family has always provided her with the best medicine and has never failed her. , but..."
The last "but," made Yang Shuwan's eyes jump.
Sure enough!
Old Madam Yu changed the subject and twirled her prayer beads: "Yaoyao is the eldest daughter of the original wife. No one in the house can get past her."
Yang Shuwan looked miserable.
Thinking of the day she married into the Yu Mansion, since Mrs. Xie was still within a hundred days, the wedding was not in line with the etiquette, so everything was kept simple. She wore simple wedding clothes and a small white flower on her head, and entered silently and low-key. The gate of Yu Mansion.
In the evening, Yu Zongzheng came into the room and took off her hijab, drank a glass of wine with her, and then went to the study room because the original wife was still within the 100-day mourning period and could not consummate the marriage.
Early the next morning, she went to pay her respects to Mrs. Yu. Aunt Liu held Xie’s memorial tablet and sat on the main throne. As her step-mother, after serving tea to Mrs. Yu, she also knelt down and kowtowed to her first wife. , concubine ceremony.
Mr. Xie is the first wife, and she is the stepmother.
So Mr. Xie is a head shorter.
The daughter Yu Youyao born to Xie is the legitimate eldest daughter of her original wife.
Her daughter Yu Jianjia was also a direct descendant, but in terms of seriousness, she was still inferior to Yu Youyao.
Early the next morning, Shuixie Pavilion was changed to "Qiyuyuan", and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Thinking of this, the resentment in Yang Shuwan's heart burst out: "Yu Youyao is a little bitch, why don't you die?"
Nanny Li on the side was shocked, rushed to the window, stretched her head to look outside, and found that there was no one in the yard. She was relieved, walked in, and closed the window tightly. Reality.
Next door to the "Return to the Courtyard", the third young lady Yu Jianjia is standing in front of the bookcase in plain white clothes. She gently rolls up her wide sleeves in one hand and holds a pen in the other. On the white rice paper, there are rows of hairpins and small regular scripts, which are delicate and smart, like Flower arranging dancers, hibiscus heads held high, and beautiful women on stage, fairies playing shadows.
What she wrote was the third chapter of "The Analects of Confucius" taught by today's female teacher, learning etiquette!
"Every woman should know the etiquette. When female guests pass each other, arrange seats. Adjust your clothes, walk lightly and slowly. Hold your hands and whisper, please pass the court."
"When greetings are given, address them from the beginning. Answer questions attentively and speak softly. Prepare tea soup and hand it out when you welcome people. Don't imitate others and ignore others."
"..."
The eldest maid Fenxiang next to Yu Jianjia was still aggrieved: "Why is the old lady so fond of one and not the other?"
The eldest lady is arrogant and domineering, with a fat head and a pig's head.
The young lady is better than her in appearance, talent and learning, she is also better at learning rules and manners, and her temperament and etiquette are also far behind her.
I really don’t understand what the old lady is thinking. It doesn’t hurt to leave the pearls alone, but instead hurts the fish-eye beads.
Yu Jianjia paused for a moment, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile, "My eldest sister has not been taught by her mother since she was a child, so she is different from me."
Qing Rourou’s words did not contain any malice, but simply stated the fact that the old lady was particularly partial to Yu Youyao because she had lost her mother. Everyone knew this.
Fenxiang rolled his eyes: "If you don't have a mother's education, doesn't it mean you have no education? No wonder the old lady wants to find an aunt in the palace to educate her."
After hearing this, Yu Jianjia raised his eyes and glanced at Fenxiang, with a hint of deep meaning in the corner of his mouth: "Sister, you are not young anymore. You really should learn some rules. When a rich family marries, there are five things that don't marry. Among them, There is a rule of thumb: if the eldest daughter of a widowed woman does not marry, there is no instruction. Grandma feels sorry for her eldest sister, so she naturally has to make more plans for her."
It seemed like a casual sentence, but it was unintentional on the part of the speaker and intentional on the listener. Fenxiang suddenly realized: "Isn't the eldest lady just the eldest daughter of a widow? I can't blame the old lady for hiring an aunt from the palace to educate the eldest lady. She was originally worried. The eldest lady will not be matched with a good family in the future."
Yu Jianjia frowned slightly and shouted softly: "Shut up, how can you say this!"
Fenxiang took a sip of cream before she realized that she had made a mistake. She knelt on the ground with a plop and said she didn't dare anymore.
The eldest lady is young and can beat up servants without blinking an eye, which shows that she is cruel. If the eldest lady knew this, thirty boards would still be too few.
Yu Jianjia seemed to be angry, holding her handkerchief and coughing twice~IndoMTL.com~ her face also showed a bright red: "My body is a little weak, and I think it's hard for you to serve me. I can't bear to scold you too harshly, but I got used to it and started talking nonsense in front of me. If grandma finds out, I, the master, is not strict in my management and will be punished. You will inevitably beat thirty of them. Boards, sell them."
After hearing this, Fenxiang realized that he had almost harmed the young lady, and felt even more guilty. He raised his hand and slapped himself hard twice, making a slap on his face. : "It's all my fault. Miss, please don't be angry, or you may get angry."
Yu Jianjia coughed twice more and said in a hoarse voice: "What are you doing? I'm angry with you, but I didn't teach you to beat yourself up. I'm worried that you will be so unobtrusive and follow the example of Gardenia. Following in his footsteps, our master and servant for many years will be cut off."
After hearing this, Fenxiang thought of Gardenia's fate and was moved to tears: "I know that the young lady is the most kind-hearted."
Yu Jianjia seemed a little tired: "Get up, let's forget it this time, and I won't let you go easily next time."
Fenxiang quickly got up from the ground, helped Yu Jianjia into the inner room, and poured a glass of water for Yu Jianjia.
Yu Jianjia took a sip of water, as if she was worried, and warned again: "Grandma has found an aunt in the palace for eldest sister. This is a good thing. They are all sisters in the family. I think eldest sister must be She won’t mind if my fourth sister and I go to her yard and learn the rules from my aunt, so we won’t talk too much in the future.”
Fenxiang's eyes flickered a few times, she said she had to learn the rules together, but the young lady thought clearly.
After the serving lady lay down, Fenxiang found a little maid in the room, lowered her head and whispered a few words.
The girl quickly ran out of Guhuanyuan and went to Qingqiuyuan.
