Your daughter's strategy

Chapter 18 Embarrassment

Grandma He smiled and said: "Mother is thoughtful, I almost forgot, Jing Huan is going to study, Jun'er will inevitably be lonely living alone, with a few sisters talking and joking with her, this day passes quickly."

Not long after, a group of girls and women entered the house surrounded by four girls. Grandma He personally introduced her. The oldest one was the eldest daughter of the second room, that is Miss He Rong. , named He Zi, the third lady is the youngest daughter of the third room, named He Yin, who is about the same age as Xu Miaoyun, and the fourth lady is the youngest, only nine years old, is the daughter of the fourth room, named He Ling.

Although He Rong is the eldest lady and a descendant of the concubine, but because his father is a concubine, he is not as prestigious as He Yin of the third room. The He family only has the eldest master and the third master who are descendants of Mrs. He, the second master and fourth master are both descendants of concubines. So as soon as He Yin entered the room, regardless of the seniority of the sisters, he sat on the chair closest to the arhat bed where Mrs. He was sitting. , He Ling.

Mrs. He looked familiar, first she smiled and asked He Yin a few words about daily life, and then said: "Now that there is a younger sister in the family, you should get along well, don't belittle her because she is from the countryside. Heart, Miss Xu is very good in terms of manners and talent."

Aunt He was so angry that the veins on her forehead were throbbing. What does it mean to be from the countryside? This is belittled even by the Xu family.

Xu Miaoyun was very calm, and He Yin said sweetly: "Don't worry, grandma, I will take good care of sister Miaoyun." Then he took Xu Miaoyun's hand affectionately: "How old is my sister, have you ever studied?"

Looking like a little adult, Mrs. He nodded secretly, then looked at Xu Miaoyun, Xu Miaoyun still had a smile on her face, but she withdrew her hand: "I will be 14 in April, and I am not serious about studying, but I can only recognize a few words."

He Yin was overjoyed when he heard the words, but his face became more modest: "I am one month older than my sister, and my birthday is in March. My grandmother promised me that I will have a banquet with my friends. It will be lively and lively, and my sister will come to honor me. I introduce my friend to you."

Xu Miaoyun nodded with a smile.

He Bingshu came in with a smile on his face. Mrs. He smiled and sat down with He Bingshu in her arms, she was more kind than facing He Yin: "Are you tired?"

He Bingshu smiled and said: "I just sent my cousin and Young Master Dong to the guest room, and I didn't feel tired at all. My cousin also lent me a set of [-] Tang poems annotated by Mr. Qingshan, and I have to finish copying them quickly. " Mrs. He felt sorry for her grandson, and said, "It's just a set of books, why do you still ask you to copy them?"

The implication is that Xu Jinghuan is stingy, and he is not even willing to part with a set of books.

He Bingshu exclaimed: "Grandmother, do you know that Mr. Qingshan is a great talent who lives in seclusion in Hangzhou. Every book he annotated is very incisive. My cousin's set of [-] Tang poems was written by Mr. Qingshan himself. I can’t see it online at all, so I dare not ask for it, and the hand-copied ones are very precious.”

Mrs. He didn't know Mr. Qing Shan, so she didn't know how precious it was, but Grandma He had heard about it, and asked Xu Miaoyun: "How did Jing Huan fall into Mr. Qing Shan's eyes? Did you give him a book?"

Xu Miaoyun explained: "This was two years ago. My brother and sister and I went outing in the countryside together. When we met Mr. Qingshan in a game of chess, he lost one piece to his brother. He was very unconvinced and played three games in a row, but still lost twice. , Later, my elder brother invited me home to teach me and my elder sisters to read, and he remarked that the three hundred poems of Tang Dynasty were originally for me, but I didn’t study them hard enough, so I left them behind, but my elder brother put them away.”

Xu Miaoyun was a little embarrassed, but He Bingshu and He Yin were stunned. The young masters and young ladies in the capital, whoever has read books and doesn't know Mr. Qingshan, regard him as a heavenly man. Unexpectedly, Mr. Qingshan went to give the young lady of the Xu family Being a gentleman is not thankful.

He Yin couldn't help but said: "Do you know how talented Mr. Qingshan is? How can you forget about it?"

Xu Miaoyun was stunned for a moment, remembering that every time Mr. Qingshan asked his brother to play chess, he would jump in anger after losing, and he didn't see how talented he was!

But Xu Miaoyun was careful with her words: "I was young and ignorant, so I didn't cherish this opportunity."

Mrs. He pouted secretly, but said nothing.

He Yin, however, was full of resentment. It seemed that it was a material that you had always regarded as a treasure and was not willing to wear it, but was casually thrown on the ground to wipe the floor, or it was a jewelry hairpin that you had collected for a long time and was reluctant to wear it. But it's really uncomfortable to use it to pick your teeth.

Therefore, when Mrs. He asked He Yin to lead Xu Miaoyun down to resettle, He Yin pouted and said, "I haven't finished the homework assigned by Mr. Grandma, please forgive me." You go." It was also a look of indifference.

Grandma He was so angry that she said goodbye and took Xu Miaoyun back to the yard where she lived. Only then did she understand why her nephew would rather stay in the inn than come to join her. Tears welled up on his face.

Xu Miaoyun hurriedly comforted Grandma He: "Don't cry, aunt, Yun'er doesn't feel wronged."

Grandma He looked at her niece and daughter, but couldn't bear it any more. She hugged Xu Miaoyun and cried, and insisted that Xu Miaojun live in the west wing of her yard.

In the evening, Mr. He was going to clean up Xu Jinghuan and Dong Zicheng, and a banquet was arranged in the inner house. Mrs. He saw her daughter-in-law's eyes were red, she curled her lips secretly, and said she was uncomfortable before leaving. The remaining second and fourth wives were bastards. The daughter-in-law has been afraid of Mrs. He for a long time, and the third wife is Mrs. He's niece, who is also on Mrs. He's side, and they all left one after another.

Everyone at the table left in the blink of an eye, Grandma He was so angry that she thought that she had been in the He family for more than ten years, gave birth to the eldest son He Bingshu, and took care of the housework inside and out. His nephew and niece came, but Mrs. He put on such a face, obviously embarrassing her, obviously not paying attention to her.

Grandma He has been in the He family for more than ten years, and she is not to be bullied by others, so she sent Xu Miaoyun back to the house, and then took people to the outer courtyard, saying that the banquet in the inner courtyard has ended, and please don't drink too much, Mr. He .

The banquet in the outer courtyard had almost just begun. Xu Jinghuan's face sank when he heard Grandma He say this. Down the wine glass, with a half-smile: "Since it's gone over there, let's go too, for fear of disturbing Mr. He's rest, we still have to study, so we'll go back first."

Dong Zicheng always took Xu Jinghuan as his leader, so he put down his chopsticks and stood up when he heard the words, and muttered: "It's Zhu Bajie, I'm not full yet after eating so fast."

His voice is not loud, but it's not low either. From Master He to He Bingshu, his face is hot. Master He wants to keep him, but he is an elder and he can't hold back his face, and he doesn't know how to answer the words, so he has to He winked at He Bingshu, He Bingshu was feeling ashamed, he didn't say anything, he just lowered his head in embarrassment, he didn't even see Master He's wink at all.

The banquet in the outer courtyard broke up unhappily, Uncle He couldn't help but feel a little displeased, and when he returned, he said to Grandma He: "It's lively, what are you talking about, it makes everyone unhappy."

Grandma He said coldly: "My niece has been wronged, I can't even say a word? Heaven and earth, this is the first time for us from the Xu family to enter the door of your He family. Not to mention being polite, at last At least the etiquette must be there, my wife doesn't show mercy to my niece, why should my niece be wronged like this, I want to ask you, what did our Xu family do to your He family? It's just a temporary stay If you put on such a face for a few days, if you dislike us, tell us as soon as possible, we will move out, so as not to annoy you."

Uncle He didn't expect his wife to be so angry, he was a little embarrassed, he waved his hands again and again and said, "Keep your voice down, your niece is still in the West Wing, she heard the joke carefully."

Grandma He, however, became more and more aggrieved as she thought about it, and she shouted: "Am I still afraid of being laughed at? My nephew and niece came to join me, and your family didn't even give me face. Why should I be afraid of being laughed at? Just make a scene." , Let everyone judge and see who is making fun of!"

Uncle He had no choice but to be careful with him, consoling and apologizing.

In the main courtyard, Mrs. He was not as stubborn as Grandma He, and she was looking at Master He with a guilty conscience. Master He lost face and angrily smashed all the tea sets on the table. Dare to say anything, Master He pointed at Mrs. He, and was so angry that he couldn't speak. Mrs. He kept her mouth stubborn: "She is a junior, and I, as an elder, wronged her because I left the banquet early? Be careful, she has lost her life."

Master He said angrily: "Idiot, it's all your own idea, and the marriage has not yet been formed, who is showing your face now? Do you know that Xu Jinghuan is the Jieyuan of Hangzhou Mansion, and he has been noticed by the emperor. The emperor is the most Cherish talents, if you really break the rules and get promoted, the Xu family will be promoted every step of the way, and Miss Xu is his direct sister, so you may not have a chance if you want to curry favor at that time!"

Mrs. He was angry and shouted: "Master is also a bachelor now. Anyone who sees him should respectfully call Mr. Ge. Why are you afraid of that brat Xu Jinghuan?"

Master He smiled wryly: "What kind of old man am I? Even though Xu Yichen has been dead for many years, people introduce me, they always say that this is Xu Yichen's in-laws."

Master He slumped down on the chair, a little dazed: "You know, the emperor has asked pedestrians to draw up a decree. After the spring, Xu Jinghuan will be on the list, and the Xu family will be rehabilitated, and Xu Yichen will be named Zhongyong Gong! Mrs. Xu is Mrs. Yipin!"
