Chapter 1737 Skills at the Dinner Table
"What can be said at the dinner table must be known to everyone, but if you want to hear more inside stories and participate in more decision-making events, you have to keep your mouth shut. In the Zhu family, there is no need to
You are a smart person, but you have to keep your mouth shut."
Yue Yuying looked surprised and seemed a little hard to understand why important things were discussed at the dinner table.
If we really wanted to talk about it, shouldn't we make an appointment at another time?
Zhu Liu shook his head. There were important things to do at another time, so he had to call everyone together. But think about it, when can everyone get together?
Everyone has their own things to be busy with during the day, so they get together during meals. If we don’t communicate and express our feelings properly at this time, then when will we communicate?
You can’t just pick a special time to come out, right?
"When there are more people, it becomes difficult to get a room together. The more people there are, the harder it is to get together. Just like in our family, my eldest brother, second brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother are in my hometown, and I, third brother
, the seventh brother is in the capital, and we can’t get together a few times a year.”
Zhu Liu gave an example. Even if he, his third brother, and Zhu Qi were both in the capital, they had opened their own houses and rarely got together.
You can't just get together every time something happens, right?
That would hurt the brotherhood too much. If you want the brotherhood to be good, you have to live in peace.
But what do you usually do?
That is to set a fixed time for several families to get together to have a meal, chat, and exchange ideas.
"It looks quite boring. There's nothing going on, just sitting there drinking tea. But after drinking it for many years, you can always have some feelings, right? We brothers talk about our brothers, and you sisters-in-law talk about yours, and you can get closer.
.”
Zhu Liu told Yue Yuying that this is why the Zhu family has set some dining rules. Therefore, the Zhu family's dining rules are not to eat without talking or sleep without talking, but to try their best to provide more opportunities and platforms for relatives to meet and communicate.
Communication and communication are the most important.
Before entering the house, Yue Yuying didn't know that the Zhu family was different from other major families in the capital. Now that she heard what Zhu Liu said, she really realized how different they were.
Three days later, Yue Yuying returned home.
When Mrs. Yue saw her coming back, her eyes immediately turned red. She handed Zhu Liu to General Yue and others, and quickly pulled her daughter aside to talk.
The daughters-in-law knew that the mother and daughter had something to say, so they only sat with them for a while, leaving space for the two of them.
Mrs. Yue held Yue Yuying's hand and asked how her Zhu family was doing. Didn't she feel embarrassed that day when she was serving tea to her mother-in-law?
Yue Yuying shook her head: "No, my mother-in-law and several sisters-in-law are easy to talk to. The Zhu family's rules are loose and not as strict as ours. And we are divided into separate houses. I am the one who makes the decisions in the house on weekdays. Even if I get up at noon, there is no one."
say what."
"That's good. You have been with me since childhood. I can't see you all the time. I feel empty in my heart. I am afraid that you will not have a good life in the Zhu family."
"How could it be? Rokuro specially built a martial arts training ground in his house. He also said that if the house wasn't too small, he would have built a racecourse at home so that I could run horses without going out. Since the family couldn't rest, he made a plan
, took me to Zhuangzi for a horse race when I was resting, saying that there was a place for horse racing over there in Zhuangzi..."
Hearing that Yue Yuying seemed to have more freedom after getting married than at home, Mrs. Yue felt both happy and reluctant to give up.
Because she came to Beijing this time to marry her daughter, and her daughter Yue Yuying was married. She would not be able to stay in the capital for long. She was afraid that she would go to the border with General Yue.
There is no other way. General Yue's defense of the border is very important and cannot be separated from him at ordinary times. If Yue Yuying had not gotten married this time, the superiors would not have let General Yue back.
Fortunately, there has been no fighting in the past few months, otherwise General Yue would not be able to come back.
"It's good for you to be in the Zhu family. From now on, mother will be far away from you and you won't be able to see her. If you are wronged, mother can't do anything about it. Although your second brother and third brother are in the capital, they are married and have their own child.
After all, my little family will not love you as much as my mother does..."
"Mom, just keep your heart in your heart. Liu Lang is really very good to me. The Zhu family doesn't have any of the worries you mentioned. It's just... not even the people who serve. I've asked about it, and the Zhu family and
It's the same as what's said outside, there are no such rules. Even before I came in, Liu Lang's side was clean and there were no maids." Thinking that Zhu Liulang would only treat his wife well, and other women had nothing to do with him.
Yue Yuying felt that Zhu Liu really couldn't do that kind of thing like eating from a bowl and looking into the pot.
He really feels that having too many women is annoying and difficult to deal with.
Marrying just one person saves you worry and effort, and you don't have to worry about trouble in the backyard.
In the past three days, Zhu Liu had also highlighted the rules of the Zhu family and told her about them. She would just have to pay more attention to them in the future.
"My father-in-law won't be able to stay in Beijing for long, and he will probably leave in a few days. My mother-in-law is also the same. She has already planned that she will leave when the third sister-in-law and my sister-in-law have a baby. The fourth sister-in-law also kept her daughter behind.
I want my mother-in-law to help take care of me for a while..."
"How old is your fourth sister-in-law's girl?"
"Okay, we'll see each other in a few years."
"That's quite a child. It's time to teach her. How are you going to teach her? I remember, is your fourth sister-in-law a person in her own right? She can't be bad at teaching her herself."
Yue Yuying shook her head: "That's different. The fourth sister-in-law said that she was born in a farmer's family. She also learned many things from her mother-in-law. She also learned them through hardships. She had suffered before and didn't want Liu Bao to do what she did.
The suffering..."
"Liu Bao has been studying in a private school with her brother since she was a child, and received the same education as boys, which is completely different from the fourth sister-in-law when she was a child. The fourth sister-in-law feels that she can't teach her at all, and the Liu Bao she knows is no longer applicable.
But she can’t teach what the Six Treasures want to learn, so I plan to leave it to my mother-in-law.”
"The fourth sister-in-law wants to give the six treasures to her sister-in-law."
…
When it came to Miss Zhu Ba, Mrs. Yue understood that Mrs. Zhu Si wanted to teach her daughter to be a strong woman who could stand alone.
It’s just that it’s hard for a girl like this to get married in the future, right?
Yue Yuying shook her head: "The fourth sister-in-law said she is not afraid, and my sister-in-law did the same in the past. If she can't find a suitable one, the family has already arranged for her to set up a female household and recruit children."
"What kind of good man can you get by recruiting a wife like this?" Madam Yue frowned upon hearing this, "Isn't this hurting my own girl?"
"Mom, you have to think about it from another angle. If you recruit a wife, the girl will stay in Zhujia Village and have her own people inside and outside. If the man who has been recruited from multiple sides dares to treat the girl badly, he can divorce his husband and let him
Leave." Yue Yuying reminded Mrs. Yue that the Zhu family is no better than others. Their roots are in Zhujia Village, and the Zhu family almost has the final say there.
With all the relatives, friends and family there, how can one still watch one’s own girl being bullied by outsiders?
Moreover, the focus of the Zhu family is not to recruit a bride, but to recruit a bride to show that the girl is already married.
It's not like the Zhu family can't afford to support them, not to mention that when the girl was young, her family would buy her a property, so that even if her parents were gone one day, she would still be able to support herself.
"The key point is whether the girl can hold her own. If she can be as powerful as my sister-in-law, then there is no need to worry about her being bullied. Even if she is a young widow in the future, she will still be a rich young widow, free and easy, and others will
