Daughter's Survival Manual

Chapter 82
In the 13th year of Yonghe, Han Yao died suddenly.In October of the same year, the first son of the Hou Mansion was full moon.

Although it was said to be a birthday celebration for a child on the full moon, in the final analysis, everyone in the mansion gathered together to have a chat with Mrs. Zou.As soon as Han Yuexia led Forsythia and the others to the flower hall of Shou'an Hall, they saw many people already seated in the flower hall.Han Yuexia stood outside the flower hall for a while, and saw the thrush smiling and knocking on the curtain, saying, "Young lady is here. The old lady and Mr. Xiaolang have been waiting for you for a while, please come in quickly with your servant."

After talking, Huamei signaled Han Yuexia to go in, Han Yuexia handed the gift box to Lianqiao, and when she entered the flower hall, she saw Aunt Shi guarding the door.Although Aunt Shi had a smile on her face, she was not feeling well in her heart. She was no better at talking than Aunt Mi. In just a short while, Aunt Mi and Nanny Ning coaxed Mrs. Zou happily, but she couldn't say a few words. talk.

As soon as Aunt Shi saw Han Yuexia coming in, she stood up and saluted Han Yuexia with a smile, and said: "Today, the nanny came to the old lady early with the little man in her arms. The little man has a big banquet, and the little lady comes in quickly." Let’s go.” In the flower hall, the decorations placed by Japan and Han Yao in the past, the forsythias that can be replaced, and the ones that look the same have all been replaced, and the ones that are placed in it now, at first glance, are not much different from Han Yao’s life. Only a few people under Han Yue knew that the price difference here was huge.However, although Han Yuexia knew it in his heart, he still regarded them as valuable things on the surface.

Mrs. Zou didn't like these decorations in the past, but it may be said that she is very familiar with one or two of them, and she can tell when she can't catch them someday.Mrs. Zou was sitting on the front seat with a smile on her face, Wen Shuangyi was sitting next to her, and Aunt Mi was wearing a satin purple pleated skirt.Wen Shuangyi watched Han Yuexia come in, and hurriedly got up to salute Han Yuexia.In front of Mrs. Zou, Han Yuexia naturally wouldn't pay attention to these vain etiquettes with Wen Shuangyi. When Wen Shuangyi bent her knees, Han Yuexia gave Wen Shuangyi a vain support, "My family , in my house, you are my younger sister, why are you so polite?"

Mrs. Zou laughed as soon as she heard this, "Wu Hou sounds right, but no matter what I say, it's not like I'm going to be courteous every day." Han Yuexia hurriedly called Mrs. Zou. Getting on a swing, she said embarrassedly: "How can it be done? Grandma is an elder, and Wanhou is a granddaughter. Although Wanhou didn't have a good life in the past, she understands this kind of filial piety. How can grandma say that she is exempt from the rules?" If you can avoid the rules, if you really avoid it, grandma will annoy me someday."

Mrs. Zou pointed at Han Yuexia's mouth and said, "I don't know who you have followed with your mouth. It's amazing. I'm half a hundred years old, but I have no words to reply." "Then It’s not that grandma is amazing, she trained her. The way Houhou is today, more than half of it is due to grandma.” Han Yuexia smiled slightly, and replied to Mrs. Zou’s words generously.

Mrs. Zou didn't say this anymore, she changed the subject and asked Han Yuexia, "Is everything arranged?" Han Yuexia nodded and said, "Don't worry, grandma." After finishing speaking, she turned her head and looked at Wang Mo The child in Mama's arms smiled and said, "My brother looks very energetic today, and he has never cried after staying in this room for so long. Thinking about it, he knows that today is his big day." The point is to follow your father." Mrs. Zou also turned her head and glanced at Wang Momo, and then said to Han Yue: "It's been a while, why is your father still not coming? Could it be that there is something wrong with the government office this year? Too many, can someone go to the outside door and wait?"

"The word has been passed on, Father will come soon if I want to come." Han Yuexia whispered softly, her eyes stuck to the swaddling baby for a while before she turned her head to answer.Mrs. Zou nodded slightly, and then went to talk to Wen Shuangyi and Han Yuexia.Not long after, Aunt Shi came in and reported that Zou Sui had entered the door, so she came to Shou'an Hall.When Aunt Mi heard this, her eyes lit up, her cheeks were stained with a thin blush, and she was extremely beautiful for a while.

Han Yuexia glanced lightly, only to see that Aunt Mi was wearing a brocade jacket with flowers on her body, a peach red sweat scarf tied around her waist, a small corner of the satin purple pleated skirt was exposed underneath, and a pair of white embroidered shoes with pointed heads were exposed. .This appearance, presumably, has been carefully dressed.Han Yuexia involuntarily took a look at Aunt Shi. Compared with Aunt Mi, what Aunt Shi was wearing was really poor, but it also matched her personality, so it was very comfortable to look at.In just a short while, Zou Sui stepped into Mrs. Zou's Shou'an Hall.

Waiting for Zou Sui outside was Huamei.When Zou Xuan stepped in, he heard a clear cry like a warbler: "The Lord is here? The old lady and the young lady are both inside!" Zou Xuan nodded, walked a few steps forward, and heard When he saw a scent of jasmine hit his nose, he was in a daze for a moment, and he turned his head after a while.

There was only a woman wearing a light green and white cut-out gown standing outside the curtain. She lowered her head, revealing a small smear of porcelain-white delicate neck.Zou Sui raised his head and looked over, only to see that the woman showed a small pointed chin, and when he looked down, he could vaguely see the moon white single clothes inside.The faint scent of jasmine seemed to still be on the nose, Zou Sui took a deep breath, and asked in a hoarse voice after a while: "What's your name? Which house did you belong to?" Thrush lowered her head, a touch of pretty red climbed up Cheek, "The slave's name is Huamei, and he serves in front of the old lady." "Thrush?" Zou Sui lowered his head and said several times, then turned and entered the room as if he had gained something.

Aunt Shi and Aunt Mi who were inside had waited for a long time with their necks up. Now when they saw Zou Sui come in, Aunt Shi and Aunt Mi both stepped forward to salute Zou Sui.Half of Zou Sui's heart was still on Huamei's body, so he didn't see Aunt Mi's well-dressed clothes today, so she lazily responded, saluted Mrs. Zou, and then sat down.

Han Yuexia stepped forward and called Father and sat back.But Wen Shuangyi's words were stuck in his throat, and he didn't come out for a while.She couldn't scream, she couldn't scream in front of Han Yuexia, she glanced at Han Yuexia anxiously and angrily, Zou Sui made it clear to her that in this Hou's mansion, he only had one daughter , the son of a direct relative, that is Han Yuexia siblings.

Wen Shuangyi was so entangled in her heart, Mrs. Zou naturally didn't know.She also had a sulking relationship with Zou Shun for many days, and she hadn't seen Zou Shun for several days, but now that she saw her, she felt that she missed him very much.However, she couldn't let go of her face, and when she saw Zou Sui sitting down, she turned her head and said to Han Yuexia, "Everyone is here, let's serve!"

The relationship between Zou Zhen and Mrs. Zou is good, and this action is taken into account. Han Yuexia does not know where Mrs. Zou and Mrs. Zou have lost their temper.But where did the mother and son have an overnight feud, Han Yuexia pretended not to see it, turned around and ordered Lianqiao, and then pulled Zou Sui to talk.These words are also asking Zou Sui some trivial matters.As Han Yuexia asked, she also looked at Mrs. Zou's expression. Seeing that Mrs. Zou didn't talk to her, she listened very seriously, so she confirmed what Han Yuexia was thinking.In Mrs. Zou's heart, these children and grandchildren are not as good as Zou Sui.

Aunt Shi, Aunt Mi and Aunt Mi are both serving Mrs. Zou. Whenever Mrs. Zou looks at a dish more, the next second, such a dish must fall into Mrs. Zou's bowl.Satisfied with wine and food, Mrs. Zou saw her two granddaughters in front of her, and she had a grandson herself. She was proud of herself for a while, and said to Han Yue next to her: "If every year in the future is like this every year, I will also be like this in my whole life." It's worth it."

In the past, Han Yuexia always only cared about herself and did not look at others at such family banquets, and Han Yao doted on her, which was just a child's temperament.Generally, when Mrs. Zou asks a question, she will say something, and if she has nothing to say, she will keep her mouth shut.Now hearing Mrs. Zou say this to herself, Han Yuexia agreed with a few words with a smile, her tone was soft, gentle and pleasant, and the smile on the corner of her mouth remained undiminished, provoking Mrs. Zou to talk to her more talk.

Wen Shuangyi was brought up by Wen Wan. When there are many people, she can put on airs and put on a show, but she is not a person who can sit still in private.Seeing that Mrs. Zou only cared about talking to Han Yuexia, she was left alone for a while, and she couldn't lower herself to talk to the two aunts, so the fingers on her knees gradually pulled together.Wen Shuangyi felt very uncomfortable, and cast longing eyes on Zou Zhen from time to time.

Just at this time, Huamei led someone to bring up the mouthwash utensils, and the job of serving Mrs. Zou was robbed by Aunt Mi and Aunt Shi.She walked to Zou Sui's side.Not long after Zou Sui returned with a heartbroken heart, the scent of jasmine wafted over again.The fingers holding the tea bowl were as white as jade, and the bright red mouth was slightly pursed.The girl Huamei clearly didn't intend to seduce her, but Zou Sui felt her stomach tighten, and her eyes became ethereal.Han Yuexia was served by Forsythia to rinse her mouth and hands, and just as she put down the veil, she saw Zou Sui's eyes turn on Huamei.When he turned his face again, Zou Sui had already withdrawn his gaze.

Wen Shuangyi became more and more dissatisfied when she saw that Zou Sui didn't pay any attention to herself.But it happened that the people at the table couldn't see that it was not good.Wen Shuangyi rolled her eyes, changed her depressed expression, and moved to Mrs. Zou's side to talk with Mrs. Zou.Han Yue smiled, and naturally let Wen Shuangyi squeeze herself out in front of Mrs. Zou without a trace, and bought it for Mrs. Zou.The situation looked very harmonious, but it made Han Yuexia take a second look at Wen Shuangyi.

Just as she was saying this, Aunt Mi came over and said to Mrs. Zou: "The concubine has no possessions. On the occasion of the full moon of the gentleman, the concubine has prepared a gift for the young gentleman, and I would like to ask the old lady to look at it." Have a look." As he spoke, he called the servant girl who was serving beside him to come forward.Mrs. Zou turned her head and said: "This is very good, show it to everyone." Aunt Mi blushed, took the big red mahogany box from the handmaid's hand, glanced at Mrs. Zou, then at Zou Sui, just opened the mouth, lifted the lid and took out the contents.Inside is a huge night pearl, which emits a white and warm light. Looking at the pearl body, it is also crystal clear, without any impurities.

This thing is not something that an aunt can take out. Han Yuexia thought about it, and saw Aunt Mi lowered her head shyly, and explained in a gentle voice: "There is nothing on the maidservant and concubine, only this Ye Mingzhu is also from the past. When I entered the mansion, the lady who served me earlier looked at me with pity, and gave it to my maidservant as a dowry. Today, I will take it out and give it to Xiao Langjun as a plaything." These words are very modest.

Mrs. Zou narrowed her eyes for a moment, "You are putting your mind to it, but my grandson is only a little older. If you give this to him, you are not afraid of ruining a good thing?"
