Two Hundred and Seventieth Chapters My Mother-in-Law Is a Loyal Servant (14)
The latest website: "Auntie, I want to learn embroidery!"
Wei Yuanniang, who was six years old, sat obediently beside He Tiantian, with a gentle voice and firm attitude.
It has been a year since she came to the capital, and Wei Yuanniang has become more stable and precocious after going through the sky prison, being exiled, and being redeemed.
She was picked up by the Feng family with her mother, and saw with her own eyes that the Feng family continued to serve Mrs. Zhang as a benefactor.
As for Mrs. Zhang, she has already fallen from the clouds to the world, but she has not forgotten the dignity and scenery of the Hou Mansion.
She, she... As a daughter, Wei Yuanniang really can't use too ugly words to evaluate her own mother.
But she always felt it was wrong.
Especially when Shuang Jiang suddenly ran to the next courtyard to serve Feng Zhongliang, and Wei Yuanniang was also packaged and sent to "Gu Xiuniang", she gradually understood some things.
And the more she understands the truth, the more painful Wei Yuanniang will be - her own mother's practice of drinking other people's flesh and blood but still calculating others is really not good, and even almost shameless.
Realizing this, the young Wei Yuanniang was embarrassed and angry.
Mama Zhao and the others said behind their backs, "Gu Xiuniang" took her to the next door to take care of her, in order to disgust and restrain Madam Zhang, just to spar with her.
But Wei Yuanniang knew very well in her heart that the Feng family aunt treated her very well.
From the time she was escorted to Beijing, the aunt of the Feng family gave her unique love and concern.
Although the Feng family aunt said that she was repaying her kindness and helping the Feng family to be loyal to the benefactor, Wei Yuanniang had a feeling in her heart that Gu Xiuniang loved her and had nothing to do with anyone.
Just like her mother, Mrs. Zhang, she would love Feng Yanting from the bottom of her heart.
And the aunt of the Feng family also likes her, the eldest miss of the Wei family, for no reason.
The aunt of the Feng family treats her so well, she even thinks of her future more than her own mother.
Teach her to read, accompany her to practice calligraphy, and her daily necessities are also very meticulous.
On the surface, her treatment in the Feng family was based on Feng Yanting's, but in fact, Wei Yuanniang felt that she lived a more meticulous and exquisite life than Feng Yanting.
Rather,
Not only did her own mother not appreciate the efforts of the Feng family's aunt, but instead, she always thought of plotting against others.
Sometimes, seeing Shuang Jiang, under the connivance of Madam Zhang and Mama Zhao, actually dared to provoke the Feng family's aunt, Wei Yuanniang was angry, and at the same time, she really wished she could dig a hole and get in.
"Mother, do you still have a conscience? Do you have a sense of shame?"
"When you were doing this, did you forget that you lived, ate, dressed, and used all the money from the Feng family's auntie's desperate embroidery?!"
Wei Yuanniang cried out in her heart.
But she was too young, and Madam Zhang ignored her words at all.
Moreover, Wei Yuanniang has always had an intuition that her biological mother did not like her.
To say that Mrs. Zhang prefers sons to daughters? Do you dislike her as a man who cannot inherit the title and establish a family?
But Mrs. Zhang seems to be very close to the three concubines in the family.
Madam Zhang didn't like Wei Yuanniang so much, so naturally she didn't pay too much attention to her opinions and attitudes.
Wei Yuanniang had a hunch that if she helped Aunt Feng speak, Mrs. Zhang would not only not listen, but would blame Aunt Feng for instigating, and would also anger her for being a daughter who was not sensible enough!
After thinking about it, the only way Wei Yuanniang could think of was that she worked hard to learn embroidery and help Aunt Feng make money together!
In this way, the guilt and guilt in her heart may be less.
"Yuanniang, do you like embroidery?"
As an old goblin who has lived in the world for n generations, He Tiantian can certainly see the thoughts of a little girl like Wei Yuanniang.
She didn't answer directly, but asked softly.
"..." Wei Yuanniang was silent for a moment.
She wanted to answer "like" because she knew that only if she answered like this, her aunt would teach her.
However, the aunt taught her not to lie, let alone deceive the elders.
Wei Yuanniang already regarded "Gu Xiuniang" as the closest and most trusted elder in her heart, and she never thought to deceive her.
"Although I don't particularly like it, I think embroidery is very useful. Besides, as a woman, I should learn something."
Wei Yuanniang quickly thought of an appropriate rhetoric.
"Embroidery is really useful and allows women to support their families too!"
He Tiantian said with a smile, "However, our Gu family's embroidery skills are different from other families. If you don't really like it, it will be difficult to learn the essence!"
"Yuanniang, I know your heart knot, in fact, you don't have to be like this."
He Tiantian hugged Wei Yuanniang's small body, put it in her ear, and said softly, "At first, I really took care of you because I wanted to repay my kindness."
"But, Mother Yuan, do you know that you are really very sensible and intelligent. After living with you for a long time, you will like you involuntarily!"
"Actually, the kindness that our Feng family owed Madam Zhang and the Hou Mansion had already been paid out when the family went bankrupt and bought out Madam and others."
"But I'm still willing to take care of you, not because of kindness, but because I like you!"
"It's strange to say that, I actually prefer my son. Because a man can stand up to the family and make me stand upright in my husband's house!"
"It's just, Mother Yuan, you are really cute and hurt. I like you, it only has something to do with you. You don't have to feel any guilt because of others."
He Tiantian did not speak directly to Mrs. Zhang.
But the smart Wei Yuanniang still understood who the "others" in He Tiantian's words were referring to.
"You, just do what you like. Although I have worked hard, I am really happy."
He Tiantian is kind and gentle, and her eyes are full of stars when she looks at Wei Yuanniang.
Indulging in such eyes, Wei Yuanniang had the illusion that "Auntie really loves me the most" and "I'm the only one for Auntie".
"I-I like to grow flowers, auntie, am I, am I very useless like this?"
Feeling the strong preference and pampering, Wei Yuanniang is no longer restrained.
She directly revealed her hidden thoughts to He Tiantian.
When speaking, Wei Yuanniang's face flushed, she was a little embarrassed.
Wei Yuanniang felt somewhat inferior, because her concubine, as well as the cousins of the second and third bedrooms, seemed to have very elegant preferences.
Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are really more on the table than serving flowers and plants.
"Who said that? It's an elegant thing to like flowers and plants. And you can make money by growing flowers."
He Tiantian smiled and said to Wei Yuanniang, "Now the world likes peonies. If you can grow peonies of unique colors, just one pot can be worth your aunt's hard-working month's income."
Wei Yuanniang's eyes lit up: "Really?"
She didn't think that her aunt would insult her hobby when she opened her mouth to withdraw the money, but she felt a sense of surprise.
"Of course it's true. Well, when Auntie goes to the shop to deliver embroidery in two days, she will also take you out for a stroll. The flower farmers on the outskirts of the city can live a prosperous life because they grow flowers."
He Tiantian discovered Wei Yuanniang's hobbies and began to try her best to guide and help.
At first, He Tiantian did not buy her particularly expensive flower seedlings, but some very ordinary varieties.
Wei Yuanniang did not feel disappointed, but was in high spirits.
Every day, she and Feng Yanting read with He Tiantian.
Of course, this was the first time. Later, when He Tiantian made money from embroidery, he sent Feng Yanting to a private school.
On Wei Yuanniang's side, He Tiantian continued to teach alone.
When I got tired of reading and practicing calligraphy, I went to the yard to take care of the pots, pots, flowers and plants.
Starting with the most common flowers, raising seedlings, cuttings, fertilizing, and watering, in just three years, this small courtyard of the Feng family has become a cluster of flowers.
Even Mrs. Zhang, who once sneered and scolded Wei Yuanniang for being a lowly bastard and wearing a dragon robe, did not look like a prince, and some liked such a small garden.
In the view of this distinguished Mrs. Hou, planting flowers is indeed something that low-class people can do.
But as a noble person, it is also an elegant thing to appreciate a flower or something.
"Yuanniang, let's get some flowers and plants to decorate our yard!"
Mrs. Zhang didn't have much affection for Wei Yuanniang, so she let "Gu Xiuniang" take Wei Yuanniang to the next door to take care of her.
In the past three or four years, Mrs. Zhang became more and more alienated from Wei Yuanniang.
Many times, Mrs. Zhang and the three concubines in the family seem to be closer than Wei Yuanniang.
Moreover, Mrs. Zhang could also see that "Gu Xiuniang" picked Wei Yuanniang away, and did not spar with her, but really treated Wei Yuanniang as a young lady.
The surrounding neighbors, after hearing the story of the Feng family and Hou's mansion, and seeing the various behaviors of "Gu Xiuniang" with their own eyes, all gave their thumbs up and praised them - she really is a loyal servant!
The reputation of "Gu Xiuniang" has even overshadowed Mammy Zhao.
Mama Zhao is indeed loyal, but she just waits around Madam Zhang.
As for "Gu Xiuniang", not only did she carefully serve and teach the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, but she also made money from embroidery by lighting a lamp and boiling oil, and supported Madam Zhang and a group of people!
Mammy Zhao is at most Xiaozhong Xiaoyi, and "Gu Xiuniang" is really a big pattern.
What's the use of only serving Madam Zhang comfortably, "Gu Xiuniang" is raising the next generation of the Hou Mansion.
Mrs. Zhang: ... The old lady has also saved the next generation of Hou Mansion, and it is still male, male, male!
After Mrs. Zhang and Mama Zhao heard the discussions outside, they were very angry.
"Gu Xiuniang" actually got such a good reputation by relying on the Hou Mansion.
Mrs. Zhang didn't say anything, but she hated "Gu Xiuniang" in her heart, and felt an inexplicable panic.
She wanted to catch Feng Yanting more and more.
However, as Feng Yanting grew up, he became more and more grateful for the difficulty of his mother, Gu Xiuniang, and also disliked the lazy, shameless and selfishness of Mrs. Zhang's group next door.
They are all good hands and feet, and it's not that they don't have a skill, so why can't they make money.
Even Mrs. Tai, Mrs. 2, Mrs. 3 and others who were taken back by their mother's family did not rely on their mother's family wholeheartedly over time.
With the support of their family members, they bought properties one after another, worked hard to manage them, raised their children and waited for their exiled husband to return as soon as possible.
Only Mrs. Zhang continued to hold the air of Mrs. Hou and let the Feng family support her without any psychological burden.
Obviously there is a chance to be an independent and dignified person, but in the end, I have to be a parasite and a vampire!
Feng Yanting is the male protagonist. He has a very positive three views and a moral bottom line that exceeds the average level.
Therefore, he became more and more uncomfortable with Madam Zhang and others.
Madam Zhang is not stupid, of course she can feel Feng Yanting's dislike and alienation.
However, Mrs. Zhang is confident: I am Yan Ting's biological mother.
Moreover, as the reputation of "Gu Xiuniang" became better and better, her embroidery products were frequently sold at high prices, and Mrs. Zhang's sense of crisis became stronger.
"Yanting is my only hope, and my support for the rest of my life!"
"Wei Yuanniang, that dead girl can have a skill. I heard that she borrowed the peony she cultivated to catch up with the powerful and powerful in Beijing, and maybe she will be able to turn over in the future!"
"Yanting, now he's just a hard-working student, he doesn't even have a name—"
Mrs. Zhang was probably too leisurely, and she started to think wildly.
Seeing Wei Yuanniang's beautiful face gradually opening, and her unique temperament gradually formed by reading and growing flowers, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but think -
One day, Wei Yuanniang might really be able to fascinate the children of a wealthy family, and she will fly to the branches and become a phoenix.
As for Feng Yanting, without a strong backer, even if he can read, he has to endure a little bit.
The road to the imperial examination is too difficult to walk.
Maybe Wei Yuanniang has already married into a wealthy family, and Feng Yanting is just a dick!
no!
Yan Ting is the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, and is the bloodline of Madam Zhang. Is he not as good as a servant? !
With a strong sense of crisis in her heart, Mrs. Zhang changed her previous indulgence towards Feng Yanting and began to strictly demand him to make progress.
Feng Yanting: ...excuse me? who are you? Why did my grandma call me over and give me a good reprimand? ! Punish me to kneel? Hit my hand?
Even if Mrs. Zhang was kind to Feng Zhongliang, the redemption that year, the support in the following years, and the life of Feng Zhongliang's father at the beginning, any of them would be lower.
Why does Mrs. Zhang still have the face to pretend to Feng Yanting? !
Feng Yanting was full of resentment, but Mammy Zhao was loyal to Madam Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang said that she wanted to see him, and Zhao mama rushed to call someone.
Mrs. Zhang said that she wanted to be a master of the family method, and Mrs. Zhao diligently handed over the ruler.
Feng Yanting can ignore Mrs. Zhang, but she can't ignore Zhao Mama.
After all, Mama Zhao is his biological grandmother.
However, it was this grandma who was directly related to her who helped an irrelevant Mrs. Zhang to humiliate and abuse him.
I can't study well?
I don't have a head cantilever cone?
What does this bitch have to do with you?
My grandma didn't care about me like that.
He Tiantian: ... Uh, I can't be this villain.
Gu Xiuniang in the original plot, so dedicated and strict discipline, didn't she still complain? !
Since someone is willing to sing a red face, He Tiantian also sings a white face.
"Yanting, you're still young, don't force yourself like this!"
"A-Niang really hopes you can get ahead, but A-Niang wants you to be healthy and happy!"
"As long as you do your best, no matter if you can pass the exam or not, A-Niang won't blame you!"
"A-Niang can make money. If you fail the exam in the future, it doesn't matter. A-Niang finds a way to buy a house and land for you. If you are willing to do business, A-Niang will make up the capital for you!"
He Tiantian put on a motherly gesture of "I don't expect you to fly as high or as far", but I'm afraid that "you are too tired to fly".
She also said that she will support her son and will never leave him without food and clothing in the future.
Of course, Feng Yanting is the male protagonist, and he will not be really ordinary.
He Tiantian said this, just to see if the mystery of his life experience will be exposed in the future, will Feng Yanting have a "mother-son relationship" with his biological mother so easily!
