Chapter 44 Why is she here?

p.s.: Sorry, I went to the hospital to see a friend and came back late.

Another note: I originally promised to add an update today, but it’s a bit difficult now. But within the next few days, I will make up for the promised update as soon as possible.

"I listen to Big Brother. Anyway, Yao'er will go wherever Big Brother is." Shuyao looked at Shujie seriously, "As long as there is no harm to Big Brother and Wen'er.

Shuyao really doesn't want to have anything to do with those people in Xia Mansion, but Mama Liu is right. Giving up the family voluntarily is not a good reputation. In the future, when the eldest brother and Wen'er become successful, this will become a reason for them to be criticized and even attacked.

"weakness".

Also, the eldest brother died tragically in his previous life. I heard that the fifth grandfather’s second son took several clan members to risk collecting his body and brought him back to Yulin Town to be buried beside his parents’ graves. He was also a member of the clan who worked as a maid in Beijing.

The little girl managed to bring her the news of her eldest brother's death and his belongings. There are still many people in the Xia family who value love and justice.

Shuwen nodded in agreement with Shuyao's words: "Wen'er also listens to elder brother. I'm not afraid of uncle and the others."

The next day, Shujie went to the clan leader's house. When he came back, he told his younger siblings that he had made an agreement with the clan leader and other clan elders to open the temple and enter the family tree on the first day of the next month.

What makes Shuyao especially happy is that Liu's mother is a master of embroidery, especially good at double-sided embroidery. Now she doesn't need to ask another embroiderer to teach her.

Mother Liu was originally a selected embroidery girl from Jiangnan. She entered the palace at the age of sixteen. Later she caught the attention of the queen. She was smart and witty, and was promoted step by step to become a female official in Kunning Palace. However, in the palace where there is open and covert fighting, honor and favor are at odds with risks.

At the same time, in the twelfth lunar month of last year, Liu's mother almost died for the benefit of the Queen's faction. Thanks to Jin Xida who happened to come across and rescued her, she was able to avoid the disaster, but she still lost her life.

The Queen was grateful for Mama Liu's loyalty and great contributions, and allowed her to retire early, and promoted her to "Palace Advocate Aunt" to stay in Kunning Palace to raise her. It happened that Jin Xida wanted to find Shuyao a reliable mother to educate her, so she

Found her.

Liu's mother likes embroidery very much. When she saw that the handkerchiefs Shuyao embroidered were beautiful and not at all like those made by a six-year-old girl who had just started learning, she sighed repeatedly about Shuyao's talent in embroidery, and she was naturally very happy to do so.

Teaching Yao. Besides, embroidery is something that women in the boudoir should learn well, and it is also her duty as a teaching mother.

Shuyao's own embroidery skills are very exquisite, but embroidery is a broad and profound art, and each sect has its own unique skills and techniques. For example, Shuyao's embroidery method belongs to the "Northern School", which is grand and gorgeous, while Liu's mother is

The authentic southern embroidery method in the south of the Yangtze River is lively and beautiful, especially the use of threads without revealing stitches. The embroidered birds, fish and insects are especially delicate and lifelike, not to mention the double-sided embroidery that Shuyao has admired for a long time.

In addition to embroidery, Shuyao now also has to learn etiquette, rules and behavior from Mama Liu. There are things to pay attention to and learn from everywhere in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Although Shuyao no longer has the desire to be a famous family or upper class society in this life, she still wants to study hard. Good rules and etiquette are the guarantee of a person's inner upbringing and external image. They make one's mind peaceful, physical and mental, and make others happy.

It looks pleasing to the eye and feels comfortable.

In her previous life, it was not until she stayed at the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion that she realized what the true cultivation of aristocratic family was, which was the grace in every gesture and the nobility embedded in the bones.

Real "nobility" is not as simple as talking about it. In addition to the subtle factors of innate quality and family environment, it also requires hard study, cultivation, and training. Otherwise, it will become a showpiece without looking at it, and the true nature will be revealed easily.

.

For example, Xiao Ding and Murong Zhi of Murong Shangshu Mansion are just members of a wealthy family. They are only "rich" at best, not "noble" at all. It's okay to show off occasionally, and they are as well-educated as Mrs. Weiyuan Hou

When women from real aristocratic families stood together, they immediately fell into disgrace.

Mother Liu is also very strict with Shuyao. Although the girl grew up in the market, it can still be seen that she has a good foundation, is smart and studious, and is no worse than those girls of the same age who come from other places. Moreover, Shuyao has excellent older brothers and younger brothers.

, Mother Liu had an intuition that these three children would not stay in this small town forever, so she taught Shuyao completely according to the standards of a girl from aristocratic families.

After Liu's mother arrived, Shujie transferred Zhang Quan's two daughters, Da Niu and Er Niu, to the yard. Da Niu helped Aunt Mei with the housework, while Er Niu served Shu Yao personally.

Shuyao moved to Xia Linxuan, the house where Zhen Zirou lived before his death. The house had two rooms, inside and outside, and Xiaoguai and Huohuo's nests were placed in the outer room.

Shuyao's original house was converted into a study room. The previous study room was widened by building a wall, and then divided into two small rooms, one for the eldest girl and the second girl to live in, and the other as a spare.

Shuyao was taught by Liu's mother. In addition to studying and practicing martial arts on his own, Shujie focused on teaching Shuwen. Shujie found that Shuwen was particularly talented in numbers and arithmetic, and since taking the medicine prepared according to Gao Mingde's prescription

After taking medicine (the medicinal materials were placed in a mahogany box to increase their spiritual power), Shuwen's health is getting better and better.

Now Shu Wen has started to learn martial arts from Shu Jie. Of course, he is practicing basic skills, squatting on horseback for half an hour every morning and evening.

The three brothers and sister were all busy studying, and time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, the day to enter the family tree was coming.

Of course, Shuyao is a daughter, so she cannot enter the ancestral hall, and her name cannot be entered into the family tree. However, the "Xia Family Records" in the ancestral hall will have an addition: "On x day, x month, x year, the descendant Xia Linxuan, the daughter-in-law Xia Zhenshi added

He has twin children Xia Shuyao and Xia Shuwen."

The three brothers and sisters were listening to Mother Liu's lecture on the precautions for worshiping ancestors and entering the family tree. The eldest girl came in and reported: "Master, miss, there are a few people outside the door, saying they are your aunts."

"Aunt? Why is she here? Didn't Mother Wu say that she can't travel too hard because she has a baby?" Shuyao's first reaction was that Xia Ruoyun was here. How could that uncle Mr. Zhang be willing to let his aunt come in a carriage on such a hot day?

?Did something happen?

Shujie took Shuyao and Shuwen and was about to drive them out when he heard Aunt Mei's voice: "Mrs. Sima, please go sit in the hall first. My young master and the girl will be here soon." Aunt Mei was angry at Xia Mansion and said to Shujie.

Jie and the others are ruthless. Now that they know that Xia Linxuan has escaped from the house a long time ago, they are no longer willing to call Xia Ruoxue "aunt".

Mrs. Sima? Xia Ruoxue? Why is she here?

Sure enough, Xia Ruoxue's voice came quickly: "Take me to pay homage to my second brother and sister-in-law first. It's a pity that I didn't even see them for the last time. Bai Lan, let them carry the things I brought to my nephew and niece into the hall.

Please don't leave it out in the sun." There was a hint of sobs in his voice.

Shujie and the other three looked at each other. None of them had met Xia Ruoxue, their eldest aunt. Xia Ruoxue would send people to Yulin Town to deliver a new year gift to Xia Mansion every year, but they had never given them a copper plate or a wire. They also

I heard that Xia Ruoxue once took Xia Shuyao and Xia Shuqing to live in the Anguo Palace in the capital for two or three months. Obviously, she "didn't remember" that there were three nieces and nephews in the second room.
