Chapter 666 Daily Life in the Palace (4)
When Sister Quan taught Liu'er, she also taught the housekeeper these things. Although it is a theory, it is better than knowing nothing. Normally, Liu'er might still yell and refuse to learn, but she was already frightened by Yuxi's indifferent attitude during this time, and she listened obediently when Yuxi taught her.
Seeing this, Yuxi felt a lot more relieved. Fortunately, she is young and has not yet reached the point where she can't see the fireworks in the world. Otherwise, she would really cry.
In the afternoon, it is time to learn female celebrities and cooking skills. Sister Quan said with a smile, "Liu'er, your mother's double-sided embroidery was very popular in the capital at that time, and how many people couldn't find a pair of embroidery! You only need to learn 30% of your mother's, and it will be enough for you." .”
Liu'er looked at Yuxi, and said cautiously: "I haven't seen the embroidery embroidered by my mother yet?" The clothes Yuxi made were all simple and ordinary styles, not up to standard.
Yuxi's expression eased a lot now, and she said, "It happens that I'm free for a while, and my mother is going to embroider a screen."
Liu'er was looking forward to Yuxi's sitting screen.
Yunqing is so busy every day now. Yuxi looked at Yunqing with a tired face, and said, "Would you like me to give you a massage." Tong Fang's craftsmanship is very good, but Yuxi would rather work hard by herself than let other women touch Yunqing.
Yun Qing grabbed Yuxi's hand and said: "You have worked hard all day, so don't worry about it. Tell me, how is Liu Er these days? Did you listen to you?" Yun Qing still let go of Liu Er's matter. in the heart.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Don't worry! My attitude frightened her a while ago, and she is very obedient these days. She can learn whatever she wants to learn, and she is very serious about her studies." After a pause, Yuxi said: " Don't worry, I will teach her well."
Yunqing slept very soundly that night.
Yuxi taught Liu'er acupuncture on the first day, and then asked her to practice by herself. The school girl is popular, and her fingers suffer. Liu'er was stabbed with more than ten needles this day. But tears rolled in his eyes, and he didn't dare to cry out.
Yuxi hasn't done embroidery work for more than ten years, and her skills are a little unfamiliar. But it took her two days to get back the feeling. As soon as she regained her senses, Yuxi started embroidering with both left and right hands at the same time in front of Liu'er.
When Liu Er saw this scene, she was stunned. She had only seen this kind of skill in books, but she didn't expect her mother to do it. She was also shocked by Yu Xi's hand, Liu'er didn't feel wronged when her hand was stabbed by a needle again, instead she studied more seriously.
It took nearly a month, and Yu Xi's embroidery of Butterfly Love Peony was half completed. What Yuxi embroidered was a small screen. This embroidery has beautiful patterns, meticulous workmanship and bright colors, very beautiful. Although it was not finished yet, Liu'er liked it so much that she watched it several times every day.
On this day, Liu'er finally couldn't help asking for guidance: "Mother, can you give me this embroidery?"
Yuxi didn't refuse either, but just said: "When you can take care of the general affairs of the palace, mother will give it to you." It doesn't matter if the female red is not good at cooking. But if you don't know how to be a housekeeper, you will be in big trouble.
Liu'er agreed without thinking about it: "Okay." Liu'er agreed so readily, knowing that even if she didn't have this embroidery, she still had to learn common affairs well.
Yuxi poked the needle and thread on the embroidery, raised her head and asked Liu'er: "You have been studying for nearly a month, what experience do you have?"
Liu'er thought for a while and said, "Whether it's general affairs or female celebrity cooking, it's more difficult than learning the piano." Not only learning the piano, but also learning other musical instruments are easier than these.
Yu Xi hummed and said: "Mother also found that you are very talented in this area, so she asked Mr. to teach you. However, such things as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can only be used as entertainment, and it is women who are in charge of the family. Fundamentally." Yu Xi would repeat these words several times a day, and Liu'er's ears could feel callused.
But after reading a lot, Liu'er also listened to some of it.
Liu'er nodded: "Mother, I will study hard."
Yu Xi nodded with satisfaction and said: "If there is anything you don't understand, tell your mother."
Liu'er was in a good mood when she met Yuxi and couldn't help but ask one thing: "Mother, why did you say that you almost died when you were five years old?" Since I heard this last time, this matter has been under pressure. Liu Er felt in her heart.
Yuxi thought about it for a while and said this: "When my mother was four years old, smallpox was rampant in the capital. At that time, many people were still infected, and my mother did not escape. Your great-grandmother was going to send me to Zhuangzi in the countryside. Go, it was my aunt, that is, your current grandmother who strongly objected to keeping me in the mansion..." Yuxi briefly explained the process, and then said: "Mother has improved after taking the medicine, your great-grandmother She felt that the doctor had some skills, so she called the doctor to treat her beloved grandson, and she didn't care about mother's life at all."
Liu'er said in disbelief: "How could this be? Isn't mother her granddaughter?" There is such a cruel grandmother in this world.
Yuxi smiled: "She has many granddaughters, it doesn't matter if she has one less." She has long been relieved of these past events.
Liu'er hesitated for a moment and said, "What about grandmother? Is grandmother treating mother badly? I heard from the nanny that grandmother treats mother like her own daughter."
Yuxi smiled lightly, since it was not her own, it was always separated by a layer: "Mother's most regretful thing before was that she didn't have any brothers and sisters who were real relatives, otherwise, there would be people who depended on each other and supported each other, instead of struggling alone. Do your best to plan.”
Liu'er said puzzledly: "But I heard from Mother Lan that the uncle and the second uncle loved their mother very much since they were young." Not only that, the relationship between Yuxi and Han Jianming is also very good.
Yuxi shook her head gently and said: "Their love for their mother contains a lot of things. You will understand when you grow up." Han Jianming treats her well because he sees her potential. Han Jianye was kind to her because her biological mother had saved Han Jianye's life. This kind of affection is different from the selfless care and love of fellow brothers.
After saying these words, Yuxi turned her head and took a special look at Liu'er, but she didn't say anything.
Although she didn't say anything, Liu'er read her unfinished words from Yu Xi's eyes. Her mother wanted to have a real brother but she couldn't get it. She had a real brother but was not close to her, so the four brothers were not close to her. This is blaming her for being unscrupulous.
During this period of time, Yuxi did not deliberately mention Brother You in front of Liu'er. Some things go with the flow more naturally, and forcing it will only backfire. However, appropriate reminders and guidance are still necessary.
Liu'er suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and asked Yu Xi: "Mother, didn't you have a hard time when you were young?"
Yuxi shook her head and said: "A child without a mother is a grass. But speaking of it, the mother is still good." Yuxi said this sincerely. Although the old lady didn't like her, it was because her mother saved the second brother , so it has never been short of her food.
Seeing that Yuxi was unwilling to say anything, Liu'er found a time to pull Nanny Quan and asked, "Mommy, did mother have a particularly hard life when she was young?"
Sister Quan weighed it in her heart, nodded and said, "Well, your maternal grandmother gave birth to your mother for more than a month and left. And your great-grandmother and your biological grandfather didn't like your mother. The government has had a very difficult time.”
Liu'er whispered: "Mommy, can you tell me about your mother's childhood in detail? I want to know."
Nanny Quan told her everything she knew, in such detail that Liu'er burst into tears.
After Madam Quan finished speaking, she sighed with emotion: "Your mother is also smart, she curry favor with the eldest lady and the eldest son of the family at that time, that is, your current grandmother and uncle, and survived because of the protection of their mother and child, otherwise It has long since become a pile of loess."
Liu'er cried and said, "Mother was so pitiful when she was young."
Sister Quan nodded and said: "It is not an exaggeration to say that your mother grew up in bitter water. But even so, your mother has never blamed anyone, and has always maintained a kind heart. Over the years, your mother I don't know how many people's lives have been saved or how many people have been helped, but she never feels that she takes the credit, instead she thinks that her ability is limited and there are too few people she can help." In the mouth of Aunt Quan, Yuxi is one of the rarest in the world. A man hard to find on earth.
After a long time, Liu'er finally calmed down: "Why didn't Mommy mention these things to me before?"
The nanny patted Liu'er on the back lightly, and said softly: "Your mother hopes that your siblings can live happily and happily for the rest of their lives, and I don't want you to know these dark things. If it weren't for this This time, Mammy will not tell you about these things. Liu Er, your mother has worked so hard, you should be considerate and filial, instead of making her angry and worrying her." These words, if Yuxi said these words, maybe Liu My son can't quite hear it, but what Aunt Quan said is different.
Liu'er lowered her head and pondered for a while, then she raised her head and asked Aunt Quan: "Mother, do you also think that I did something wrong with Brother Yu?"
Sister Quan said: "Brother Yu broke your piano before, and your father beat him up, did your mother blame you at that time?" Seeing Liu'er shaking her head, Sister Quan said: " Your mother is so angry this time because your behavior made your mother think that you don’t have the friendship of brothers and sisters in your heart, which is why your mother is so angry." In fact, Quan Nuan was very worried when she saw it. Fortunately, Liu Er finally realized her mistake, which made her very relieved.
Seeing Liu'er bowed her head and said nothing, Mammy Quan said: "When I gave birth to you, it was difficult to give birth, and the situation was very dangerous. Even the mother-in-law said that she could only save one, your father said she wanted to save the adult, but your mother insisted on saving you. Liu'er, if your mother didn't love you, she wouldn't have given birth to you without her own life. Your mother deliberately ignored you this time and put you under house arrest in the yard because she was too worried. Worried that you were left My son, I'm separated from my brothers and sisters, and I have no one to help me in the future." After a pause, Quan Nuo said again: "You should know how busy your mother is? This time, she put down everything she had on her head for the sake of Brother Yu and you. These days, I have been teaching you to be the director of the family and the female celebrity, if you still can't understand your mother's painstaking efforts, let alone your mother, even the nanny will be disappointed."
