Chapter 178 A servant who doesn’t look like a servant
"Miss, whose child is this? Why are you so ignorant? Look, your things are all messed up."
Yanyu had a lot of toys, and Fubao had so much fun playing with them that he forgot everything.
After a cup of tea, a woman came in. Her cheekbones were a bit high and her lips were thin, which was not pleasant at all. She caught Fubao and said such things, with a very unkind expression, as if Fubao was cheating. It's like a big deal.
"This is Chu Chu, my little sister. Aunt Mi, don't talk nonsense. I gave Chu Chu the things to play with."
Aunt Mi was the mother-in-law chosen by her mother for Yan Yu. She had been with her since she was a child. She was very talkative and always liked to meddle with things, but her mother thought it was good for her.
Yan Yanyu doesn't hate Aunt Mi, but she doesn't like Aunt Mi either. However, Yan Yu has a gentle personality and is not too picky, so she won't ask her mother about the replacement.
"Sisters should pay more attention to their words and deeds. Those who come from a small family are the most unruly."
Even after being criticized by Yan Yu, Aunt Mi was still unyielding. Fu Bao also felt that this person was a bit annoying, but she didn't think of conflict in other people's homes, but she felt unhappy.
"Miss Yanyu, isn't this slave a servant of yours? Why is she so unruly? Master said that the master can kill such a person with a cane."
Qiuli was a little angry, and she could see that neither young lady liked her.
"Death with a stick? Yes, Aunt Mi, do you want to be killed with a stick? Apologize to Chu Chu quickly."
Although Yan Yu lives in a high-level courtyard, she has rarely heard of the word "stick death". Her grandmother and parents are very strict people, and the family is very harmonious and simple.
There were almost no scandals in the Gaomen Courtyard, and there were no concubines or concubines, which contributed to her docile and uncontroversial character. However, she felt good after listening to Qiuli's words. This Aunt Mi was She doesn't know the rules and can't spoil him like her mother.
Aunt Mi didn't seem to expect that a child of several years old would talk like that, and thought it would be easy to control. Seeing Yan Yu and Fu Bao both looking at her unconvinced, they felt a little guilty and extremely unbalanced.
But after all, for the sake of my master, I said: "I'm sorry, I'm offended."
Without waiting for Fu Bao and Yan Yu to reply, he turned around and walked out without even taking a step back.
Qiuli added: "There are really no rules."
"Yan Yu, your servant is a bit strange."
Fu Bao frowned, feeling that this person was different from all the servants in their family. Why did he feel so stubborn? Does the master usually not discipline me?
"Even this servant thinks that Aunt Mi is not good enough. Just like the master said, she is stepping on the master's head."
Qiuli rarely talks like this in the village, let alone words of dissatisfaction.
"My mother said that she saved my mother's life. If it hadn't been for her and my uncle in Qingliu County back then, my mother might not have been able to give birth to me safely!"
Fu Bao understood a little bit. It turned out that there was such a feeling, and he could rely on his own merits!
"Miss Yanyu, even if you are your savior, you can't tolerate her being unclear about her identity. If Miss Yanyu can't make up her mind and the Duke and Madam cannot show mercy, you should talk to the old lady."
At this time, Granny Zhou walked in. She heard what she just said. She frowned. She didn't expect that the rules of the Shunguo Duke's mansion were so bad. She didn't know if she was deliberately bullying Miss Yanyu because she was young and ignorant. She also knew that this was not the case. She can take care of it, but there is nothing wrong with giving Miss Yanyu some advice.
"You two ladies, the Duke's wife has asked you to come over. Several elders have arrived."
Not allowing them to think too much, Granny Zhou urged them to go out.
In Fulu Garden, only a few ladies from aristocratic families were invited, and the old ladies from each family came with their own women and children.
Fubao actually saw Mrs. Li of Li Mansion inside. It turned out that the relationship between their two families was so good. Seeing acquaintances, Fubao felt that the capital was not that big.
However, Mrs. Li only brought her mother-in-law and maid with her, unlike other families who were always shouting at each other.
The old lady introduced them one by one, and after everyone bowed to each other, Fu Bao was taken over by Madam Li and protected against her chest, speaking to her in a low voice.
"Xiulian, your two children are very polite. I think the scholars usually teach them well, but how come they also understand the etiquette and rules of the capital? Didn't you say you have only been here a few days?" The old lady questioned, The rules of the capital are not something you can just learn if you want to.
"Speaking of which, our family's rules were taught by our lady from the capital. Even our sons, daughters-in-law, and grandsons have benefited from them. Fubao and Tsinghua also learned quickly, making everyone laugh."
There were so many people here, Grandma Yan just took Miss Shen's matter lightly. She was also very satisfied with the performance of Fubao and Yan Qinghua. They looked no worse than the other ladies in the family. Even the old lady herself was very good at basic etiquette. I know what I'm doing, at least I know some sense of proportion.
Fortunately, I picked up the wrong Miss Shen at that time. I suddenly thought for a moment. I don’t know how Miss Shen is doing at home. They have come out. I don’t know if she is comfortable at home. I regret once again that I didn’t let her go with me. Come to the capital.
Seeing that several old sisters of similar age were gathered together, the Duke’s wife also moved Mrs. Li and Yan Qinghua to another table. A cook had already served several plates of barbecue for each table, plus There were melon seed pastries on display, and everyone gathered around to drink a cup of tea to keep warm.
It was much easier for the children to have fun. Among the children who came, there was another child who was similar in age to Fubao and Yan Yu. It was said that she was the granddaughter of General Qi named Hongying. She had a carefree personality and was very grand, just like Yan Yu. They were very familiar with each other, and they didn't exclude Fubao, so they started playing together immediately.
It was too cold outside and there was nothing to see except the snow, so the snow appreciation feast was actually just a group of women sitting together drinking tea and playing cards, and the children were not restrained.
The children liked to eat. After hearing Fu Bao talk about the roasted leg of lamb, they also ran to the verandah to watch the cook cook it.
There was already a table gathered in the verandah, consisting of four boys of seven or eight years old.
"Brothers are so cool, they didn't call us when setting up the table here."
Seeing her elder brother and younger brother, Yan Yu pouted and became unhappy, and said coquettishly: "I hate my brother."
"Come on Yanyu, I know you are indispensable here, so how can Leng be willing to call you? Today you have a new sister to play with you, and I know you won't pay attention to us if I call you."
Yan Yuzhe, Mr. Xiao Guogong, had a somewhat resolute face at a young age. He quickly handed over several skewers of mutton skewers in his hand, one by one, to please his little sister and her little sisters. There was a smile on his face, and he also I looked specifically at Fu Bao and Qiuli standing next to him.
Qiuli also got a bunch of them, impartially.
"Is this my sister Chu Chu? It's just like what my sister said. You look so beautiful. Yan Yu is not afraid that her brothers won't like you in the future."
Yan Yuge, who has a pink face and red lips, is fairer than his brother, has slightly weaker facial lines, and has a more active personality. He smiled at them and called out: "Sister Chu Chu", not forgetting to tease Yan Yu.
"Brother, you look down on others. Am I such a stingy person? If you don't like Chu Chu, I won't be happy! That means you don't give me face." Then he raised his head arrogantly.
Yan Yu turned around and introduced: "Chu Chu, these are the twin brothers I told you. The eldest brother is Yan Yuzhe. Others call him Brother Zhe, so you can call him the eldest brother after me; the younger brother Yan Yuge, because the name Ge Ge is a bit awkward. Weird, let’s just call him brother.”
After Yan Yu finished speaking, she covered her mouth and laughed. No matter how the brother opposite glared, Fu Bao smiled sweetly. The two brothers had different personalities, and she liked them both.
