Chapter 40 Comparison
"Daohua's cooking skills are really incredible. I eat Laba porridge every year, and this year's is the best." Yan Zhiyuan praised Daohua without hesitation.
Old Mrs. Yan likes to hear other people praise rice flowers. After listening to Er'er's words, the smile on her face deepened.
When Yan Zhiyuan saw it, he immediately praised it a few more times, causing the old lady to laugh non-stop.
On the side, Daohua sat obediently next to Mrs. Li, with a decent and polite smile on her face. She glanced at the third uncle who was drinking Laba porridge honestly, and then at the cheap dad who was introverted and pretending to be dignified.
Secret passage.
This second uncle of hers, who is white, can get along well in the county government. Her eyesight and eloquence are indeed beyond words.
Through these years of contact, she also saw that her second uncle was a smiling tiger, who talked about people and ghosts, and was very tactful.
Knowing that my grandmother favored her, I tried my best to praise her, but I didn't forget to mention the others, which was really thoughtful.
When Daohua was thinking about this, she felt a touch on her arm. When she turned her head, she saw the fourth brother looking at her with a smile: "Sister, you have to cook more in the future. I love what you do."
It’s time to eat.”
Before Daohua opened her mouth, Mrs. Li said: "Don't make trouble with your sister. She wants to read and read, and she also needs to learn female prostitutes. Why don't you look at it? What kind of pricks have she made on her hands?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Daohua's hand.
Seeing the dense red needle holes on her fair and delicate fingers, I was stunned for a moment.
Daohua smiled faintly: "I'm a bit stupid when studying Nuhong. Sisters Yihuan can embroider large pieces, but I can't even embroider purses well."
As soon as she finished speaking, Daohua's hand was grabbed by Yan Wenkai.
Yan Wenkai touched Daohua's finger carefully, with a look of distress on his face, then blew on his finger, raised his head and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Daohua shook her head blankly.
Yan Wenkai became angry: "What happened to Mrs. Qin? My eldest sister's hands are like this, why should she be asked to embroider a purse? Can she be a master? If not, find someone else to teach her.
?"
If things were normal, Yan Zhigao would definitely scold Yan Wenkai at this time, but when he saw his eldest daughter's hand, he felt a surge of anger.
Previously, Daohua was in a hurry to make Laba porridge, so he didn't see clearly. This time, Wen Kai held up his hand, and the needle holes on his fingers made him feel numb.
Although he had not raised his eldest daughter since she was a child, he still valued her very much. Seeing her hands pricked like this, he instinctively felt that Master Qin had treated her lightly.
Yan Wenkai was still saying: "Mom, why don't you give the eldest sister to the master? I don't think Master Qin has much knowledge either?"
Hearing this, Daohua couldn't help but want to applaud.
During this period of time, she practiced hard as a female celebrity. Although she did not want to win the sympathy of everyone, she would be happy to change her husband.
Daohua took a careful look at her cheap fourth brother. If she hadn't seen the genuine concern on his face, she would have thought that this man was deliberately trying to trick Mrs. Qin.
He is indeed an upright child.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Yan Wenkai said again: "My eldest sister's hands are used for cooking. If they are damaged by a needle, who will prepare delicious food for us in the future?"
Upon hearing this, the emotion on Daohua's face suddenly stopped, she quickly pulled her hand away and glared at the fourth brother, "I'm sorry, I'm just a cook? I won't cook in the future. If you want to eat, you can cook it yourself."
."
"No!" Yan Wenkai immediately wailed, "Good sister, I was wrong. You have to make food, otherwise, how will I live in the future?"
The two of them started bickering, and the dinner table quickly became lively again.
The eyes of the others moved slightly. Everyone in the Yan family knew about the relationship between Master Qin and Aunt Lin. If Master Qin could not please him, Aunt Lin would also lose face.
Yan Zhiyuan glanced at Mrs. Sun, who immediately changed the topic with a smile.
Seeing this, Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief. Before, they dared to whisper to their father Yan Zhigao at the dinner table, saying that Aunt Lin was lonely when she was eating alone, but now they drank in silence from their bowls.
Laba porridge.
Mrs. Li took in the expressions of everyone at the table, glanced at Yan Zhigao, who had a slightly restrained expression, and gave him another half bowl of Laba porridge with a smile.
Seeing this, Yan Zhigao also smiled and gave Mrs. Li a chopstick to eat.
Next to them, Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin lowered their heads in disappointment when they saw that Yan Zhigao did not mention Aunt Lin again.
Yes, Aunt Lin did not come to Songheyuan for dinner.
This was ordered by Mrs. Yan, saying that no concubine could eat with the masters of the family.
Just now, Yan Zhigao saw the family happily drinking Laba porridge, and he thought of Aunt Lin who was eating alone. He felt pity for her, and just wanted to ask her to come over and eat together, but his son Yan Wenkai disturbed her.
Now, because Master Qin asked his eldest daughter to embroider a purse and her hands were badly pricked, he was also a little angry, so he put his thoughts aside.
Here in Songheyuan is Yan Yan, Hehe Meimei, but at this time in Shuangxinyuan, Aunt Lin is sitting alone at the dinner table, with a lonely look on her face.
After being married to the master for so many years, this was the first time she spent the holidays alone.
Her children and husband are now with others, they are a family, and she... is just a concubine, a concubine that can't even serve a meal.
There has never been a moment like this where she clearly understands her identity and status in the Yan family.
Do you regret it?
Her father is a scholar, and her younger brother is also a scholar. With her family’s status, marrying someone else as the first wife is not easy.
But she can’t help it!
In order to support his father's education, the Lin family sold all their property. By the time his younger brother was studying, the family had no money left. However, his younger brother was so smart, and the masters in the family all praised him for his future success. How could she bear to see it?
Because your younger brother has no money to study, he has been doing nothing in his life?
So, when Yan Zhigao went to inspect the countryside, she deliberately approached this honest and good official who was praised by everyone.
She is good-looking, and she has been studying and literate with her father since she was a child. Naturally, her demeanor is not comparable to that of ordinary women.
After meeting several times, and through her intentional or unintentional contact, the master really fell in love with her.
Later, she successfully married him and made him a child.
With the support of the county magistrate, the family gradually got better, and my younger brother also went to school. A few years later, he successfully passed the scholar examination and stayed with the master. With the support of his brother-in-law, his future future will definitely be good.
.
She is also very comfortable in the backyard.
The eldest wife of the Yan family, Mrs. Li, was born a businessman. Although she was the principal wife, she could not compare to her in terms of family background, and she did not feel that she was inferior to her.
Moreover, based on her understanding of the master, she knew that the master looked down on businessmen in his heart. This could be seen from the several brothers he received when he received his wife.
Mrs. Li herself knows this, so she is not very confident in the Yan family, and she often avoids being favored by herself.
She thought that she could spend her whole life peacefully, reciting poems and poems with the master in her free time, chatting about everything, and educating her children. But the old lady came, and the eldest girl came.
These two people have no idea what it means to be tactful and what it means to be calm.
She just said whatever she wanted from the beginning and put the most embarrassing side directly on the table. No matter how many strategies she had, she could not do anything.
