Houmen Dixiu

Chapter 48
Xiao Ju blushed immediately, and said, "It's the old lady's birthday today, and the kitchen is a bit busy, so the maidservant..."

"how can that be?"

Qiu Ling didn't believe it, "On weekdays, there are people who take care of Miss Biao's medicinal food. This is what the Da Furen ordered. How dare they neglect?!"

Xiao Huaisu waved his hands, looked at the two maids again, and continued to eat with his head down until he had finished eating the whole bowl of soup, then put the spoon away, and praised Xiaoju with a smile, "You have This heart is good, but this skill needs to be practiced more in the future.”

Xiaoju blushed and answered "Yes" in a low voice.

Xiao Huaisu turned to Qiu Ling again, "Grandma's birthday is today, and there are so many guests coming and going, so it's natural to take care of the guests first. It's okay for us to be negligent occasionally, so we don't need to worry about it like this."

Qiu Ling bit her lip, but still nodded.

Miss Biao is what she says, she is just a little angry, who knows whether the other side of the kitchen is deliberately negligent or occasionally negligent, there are too many twists and turns in it, Miss Biao doesn't care, but she has to go deep thought.

Mrs. Du was finally invited out by Mrs. Wang, and ordered "The Peony Pavilion" and "The Palace of Eternal Life".

At the end, when the song ended and the guests went away, Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and took Du Yanyun to sit in Mrs. Du's room. Seeing that Mrs. Du was looking at the screen on the kang table, she couldn't help laughing. Said: "Which family is this a congratulatory gift? My daughter-in-law is also here to have fun!"

"Which one else could it be?"

Mrs. Du smiled and waved her hands, but her eyes were focused on the screen, "This drawing is a sketch. As for the embroidery, Sister Yu has sketched out the outline, and the rest is probably the girl under her hand." Huan helped finish the embroidery, but it's very rare for them to have such kindness."

Mrs. Wang was a little surprised, and looked at the interspersed screen carefully, and sighed: "Huai Su is really smart, he has only learned painting from the old man for a long time, and he has such accomplishments!"

Du Yanyu's embroidery skills are only at the beginning level, and it is not easy to draw a rough outline, let alone the color matching.

Cai Yanyun couldn't help laughing after seeing it in the group: "After being told by the grandmother, the things made by the granddaughter are a little embarrassed to take out." Even though she said so, she still took the carved lacquer from Fengchun's hand The wooden black box was handed to Mrs. Du.

"I like what my granddaughters did!"

Mrs. Du took the black box with a smile, and when she opened it, she found a dark green tribute satin wiping her forehead, with a bat pattern embroidered on her forehead, the embroidery was much more delicate, and a Hetian jade was inlaid in the middle, the jade quality Gentle and cool to the touch, the old lady couldn't help nodding, "Sister Yun's embroidery skills are getting better and better, I like this too!"

Mrs. Du smiled and asked Xiangling to put away the black box, and then talked about the things Du Yanzhao and Du Yanyi sent, "Brother Zhao wrote me a letter, and it looked good to me, so I asked Xiangtao to frame it later." I got up and hung it up, brother Yi was very pleasing, he carved a picture of a hundred years for me, this child has a heart, and the carving is really good!" As he spoke, he felt a little emotional.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Brother Yi likes to mess with these things on weekdays. I've told him many times, don't miss your studies!"

Mrs. Du pursed the corners of her lips, and the smile in her eyes was a little unclear, "Then let's see if he has improved in his studies now?"

"This……"

Mrs. Wang bit her lip, her son knew best, Du Yanyi's nature was to get sleepy as soon as he started reading, and he really didn't know what to do with him.

Du Yanyun saw that Mrs. Wang was in a dilemma, so she couldn't help saying: "Grandmother, the second brother is not sensible at the moment, but when he becomes a governor, he will know how to work hard."

"That's the reason."

Mrs. Du sighed softly, "But I don't think his ambition lies in this!"

Wang's mother and daughter looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

After a long while, I heard Mrs. Du say again: "Huaisu told me about it that day. It's not a bad thing for Brother Yi to have these handicraft hobbies. If he really... he really can't do well in schoolwork. , with his skills, he might be able to do something in the Ministry of Industry in the future!"

Wang's eyes lit up when she heard this, she was indeed a little foolish in this matter, she didn't expect that one alley was blocked, but the other alley was still open, she almost didn't turn this corner.

Even if Du Yanyi failed the scientific examination, with the abilities of Du and Wang, wouldn't it be possible to get Du Yanyi to be a donated student and put him in the Ministry of Industry as an errand?

The Du family is now in full bloom, and she doesn't want her son to be more prominent in the future, just have a serious job to do, as long as he is close to it.

Du Yanyun rolled his eyes, clapped his palms and smiled lightly, "Grandma still thinks clearly!" In his heart, he was a little grateful to Xiao Huaisu, if she hadn't spoken out before Mrs. Du, the old man would never have thought of it.

If Du Yanyi can really show her strengths in the future, she will be happy for her brother in her heart!

Mrs. Wang went back to discuss with Du Bowen for one night, and then went to Mrs. Du to discuss ideas the next day.

Obviously, Mrs. Du also told the old man about this last night, and the husband and wife were in unison, and Du Yanyi's matter was settled.

Mrs. Wang called Du Yanyi to her front, beat it hard, and then told him the good news, and couldn't help repeating a few more words, "Although studies will not be the main focus in the future, but in the end, we can't leave too much behind. Don't think that the Ministry of Industry's People are boring gourds, those people only specialize in skills, and they are all superb, if they really go there, they can't embarrass the Du family..."

Du Yanyi recalled, a burst of ecstasy flooded his face, he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, he threw himself in front of Mrs Wang, wrapped his arms around his mother's waist for a long time and was speechless.

She has never seen her son so excited and happy, Wang's eyes turned red, she only caressed Du Yanyi's shoulder, and sighed softly: "I have never turned this corner before, if your cousin was not ahead of the old lady, I'm afraid I'm going to get into a dead end."

"Mother, thank you, thank you so much!"

Du Yanyi's face was full of excitement, and his eyes were shining brightly, "I will definitely study hard in the future, and I will not fail in anything. Even if I can't keep up with my eldest brother, I will definitely not embarrass the Du family." What, he stroked his hands again and said, "I'll go and thank my cousin later, she really understands me best!" Then he turned around and was about to leave.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly grabbed Du Yanyi, and said angrily: "I haven't finished my words yet, why go away!"
