019 The so-called grandmother
The next morning, Qiu Xiyin arrived at the Yangdeyuan a little earlier, but she didn't expect that she was the last one.
When she went in, Mrs. Qiu was holding Deng Wenya's hand and sighing that Deng Wenya was filial, and she also told her not to do more needlework to avoid hurting her eyes. She was holding a rust red gold-painted gourd-like purse in her other hand, which was thought to be made by Deng Wenya himself.
Qiu Xiyin walked in slowly and leaned over to salute. Old Mrs. Qiu's old face, which was just smiling, suddenly pulled down and snorted.
Qiu smiled and waved, "Yinyin comes over and lets my aunt see you, is your body better?"
Qiu Xiyin bowed again and took a few steps closer, "I'm so great, thank you for your concern."
Qiu looked her up and down and praised, "It turns out that he is the girl who is the relative of his second brother and his second sister-in-law. There are so many people in the entire capital who have such appearance and demeanor."
Old Mrs. Qiu said impatiently, "How old is she? What kind of appearance does she have?"
After saying that, he ignored her and asked Deng Wenya what books she was learning recently.
Qiu Xiyin looked around and was about to find a place to sit down by himself when he saw Qiu Busui smiled and waved to her, "Sit up to me, third sister."
Qiu Xiyin sat down next to her, so she happened to sit opposite Qiu Busheng.
Qiu Bu relied on the loss yesterday, but he didn't dare to speak today, just rolled his eyes at her.
Qiu Xiyin just pretended that she didn't see it and sat down with her eyes down.
After a while, Old Mrs. Qiu finally stopped caring for Deng Wenya, and asked how Qin was doing, so she scolded Qiu Bubu for a few words, asking her to calm down and practice calligraphy well. The few girls only got the most of her studies.
He just ignored Qiu Xiyin and did not ask her a word.
In the previous life, Mrs. Qiu turned a blind eye and cursed a few words from time to time, making Qiu Xiyin sad for a long time, and she was still worried until she died.
However, she has died once now, so she will naturally not take these tricks seriously.
After Mrs. Qiu was concerned about her granddaughter, she ordered the meal to be served. She glanced at Qiu Xiyin and said inadvertently, "The third girl is weak and she is afraid that she can't eat ordinary things at will, so don't use them here."
This kind of thing was naturally the case in her previous life, and there were several times when she was in front of outsiders. Qiu Xiyin was both ashamed, aggrieved and helpless. Now, she just stood up and bowed, and said lukewarmly, "Grandmother sympathizes, granddaughter takes her leave."
Old Mrs. Qiu was heartbroken, and despite the fact that Qiu Xiyin had not yet walked out of the door, she cursed, "The little hoof that was trying to die came to me, but she was acting like a destiny!"
Qiu Xiyin just thought it was not hers, and held Mai Mang's hand and walked no faster than half a point or slower than half a point.
Old Mrs. Qiu became even more angry. She watched Qiu Xiyin go out and finally cursed, "It's true that whoever raises anyone! She doesn't know any etiquette at all! She should stay in the countryside for the rest of her life and find a rural villager to get rid of it, so it's not considered humiliating!"
"Mother!" Qiu shouted softly and interrupted, "Come here, hurry up and urge me. Why haven't the food come yet? A few girls still have to learn books."
...
...
Qiu Xiyin returned to Sangyuyuan, finished her food, and was about to pack out the calligraphy and paintings she bought yesterday. As soon as she opened the box, she heard the little girl come to take revenge and came with Deng Wenya.
She told Shu Xiu not to let anyone move the box and to clean up when she came back, and ordered Qiu Busu and the others to invite Qiu Busu to the flower hall.
Old Mrs. Qiu had only one son and one daughter, and her daughter Qiu married back to her parents' Deng family.
The Deng family is just a family of merchants. Although they are rich, their status is always a little different. Qiu family doesn't look down on their husbands, and they don't even care about their husband Deng Lu.
Shortly after Qiu Zhengshen got married, she took her daughter Deng Wenya and son Deng Wenzhong to her parents and brothers, and she could not go back to Jiangnan once a year.
The Deng family supported her behavior very much, and gave it to Qiu's house with the price of money and gifts.
Deng Wenya is fourteen years old this year, one year younger than Qiu Busui. Both cousins look like Qiu Zhengshen, have a beautiful appearance, and are as elegant as a lotus. They stand together like their own sisters.
Qiu Busui held a box in his hand and handed it to Mai Mang, laughing and said, "We have to learn books later, so we won't go in and sit in. This is a snack made by my cousin. Do you like it or not?"
Qiu Xiyin thanked him, and Deng Wenya said, "This is learned from the chefs in Gusu. See if it suits your appetite. If you like it, I will send it to you next time."
The Qiu family was resentful of Deng Wenya's background, so they were very strict with their upbringing. They were even more vulgar in studying and learning, and they were not allowed to be vulgar in merchants.
Under the strict education of Qiu, Deng Wenya was very ladylike and elegant in every word and action, and she spoke slowly and quietly.
"Thank you for your concern, my cousin."
"A box of snacks is not worth it," Deng Wenya paused and said, "Grandmother--"
I only talked about this, but I didn't say anything further, like a picture I didn't know how to speak.
Qiu Xiyin remembers that there was such a thing in her previous life, or that Qiu Busui and Deng Wenya had both expressed good to her in her previous life.
But shortly after she entered Beijing, Qiu Busui died of illness. Deng Wenya quickly made a marriage. After getting married, she followed her husband to work outside. She was indifferent and had little friendship with the two.
Qiu Busui smiled and said, "Then let's leave first. After a while, when my sister is getting bigger and settled down, she will definitely learn to study with us. My sister will take advantage of this period of time to take a break."
The two of them talked a few more words and left hand in hand. Qiu Xiyin continued to organize his calligraphy and paintings, and sent a little girl to guard the side door. When Qiu Zhengshen came back, he would come to report.
Before the imperial edict was issued to the crown prince's young tutor, Qiu Zhengshen was still working in the Hanlin Academy and was very leisurely. Shen Shichu came back, but as soon as he returned home, he came to Sangyu Academy.
Qiu Xiyin had just gotten up, and when he heard that Qiu Zhengshen was coming, he hurriedly ordered Shu Xiu to take out the box of pearls that Old Master Qiu gave her yesterday and carry it to the flower hall in person.
Qiu Zhengshen recognized the box containing pearls at a glance and smiled, "What is Yinyin doing? Can't wait to use this bead to string flowers?"
Qiu Zhengshen has a rich family background and has different families, but he has all got rich dowry. Such precious pearls are beaded with flowers for a young girl who is only eight years old. Qiu Zhengshen is not very different in his words.
Qiu Xiyin shook her head seriously, said with a stern look at the morning greeting, and said seriously, "Father, did my grandmother blame me for not listening to her yesterday and returning this box of pearls to my grandfather? My father would rather return it to my grandfather for me."
Qiu Zhengshen covered his lips and coughed, his face full of embarrassment, "Yinyin, your grandmother--"
When he said this, he could not continue to say anything like Deng Wenya, and he coughed again, "But your grandmother was right. You are weak and you must be careful in your diet. Your grandmother also gave me a special explanation.
I will discuss with your mother that a small kitchen is set up in your yard so that you can eat cheaply and save you from the food far away from the big kitchen to get cold.”
Qiu Xiyin pretended not to know how great the small kitchen was, and said for granted, "Before leaving, my grandmother told me, and asked me to bring two chefs. On weekdays, it was not something they made, so my grandmother didn't let me in. Unfortunately, she was sent back to Gusu by my grandmother."
Qiu Zhengshen coughed again, "There are many good chefs in the capital, so I'll find two for you."
Qiu Xiyin nodded, "Then my father remembers to find someone who is good at making medicinal food and someone who knows how to cook Jiangnan cuisine. I can't get used to the taste of Beijing."
It is easy to find a chef who can cook Jiangnan cuisine. His enemy is from Gusu. There are chefs who can cook Jiangnan cuisine in the mansion, but chefs who can make medicinal food-
Qiu Zhengshen had a headache, but when he saw his daughter's calm appearance, he couldn't say anything about her embarrassment, so he turned to the matter of going to Xie's mansion tomorrow. Qiu Xiyin had not been to the Xie family after returning to Beijing, so he should have recognized her relatives.
Xie Mansion—
She is going to see her cousin and uncle!
Qiu Xiyin was excited. When Qiu Zhengshen left, he called Shu Xiu in and prepared.
