Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 137 Talking about etiquette, refuting Lin's (3)
"The so-called beauty of a woman who pleases herself. The eldest sister is already a wife. Does she have to shed her hair and wash her face for her brother-in-law? If this is the case, I am afraid that her brother-in-law will not like it for a long time. Women can dress up at an age when they can dress up." Myself, is there something wrong?"

The lady's eyes were even more severe, "As a woman, you must stick to your virtues and deeds, dress dignifiedly, and speak gently and generously. How can you pretend to be gorgeous and use sex to seduce others?"

A gleam of coldness flashed across Qiu Mingyue's phoenix eyes, knowing that the eldest lady would use the topic to insinuate Shen.

"Then according to what my mother said, as a woman, you must look straight ahead, shoulders straight and back, arms like drums. The two villages are full of feet, the end is facing the tassels, the thighs are straight and the feet are straight, the body does not shake the elbows, and it is said to stand up; Because of the slight pan, it is called standing together; because of the bending of the pan, it is called standing upright; because of the hanging down, it is called humble standing. Sitting with the posture of standing upright, the legs are not bad and the feet do not fall, looking at the balance is called sitting, and looking down at the knee of the venerable is called sitting. Sitting together, looking up and not being able to see what is out of the ordinary is called sitting solemnly, and with the head bowed down is called sitting humble?"

The eldest lady raised her eyebrows, "Naturally. These are the most basic etiquette. Although you are still in your boudoir, you must learn it in the future."

The corner of Qiu Mingyue's mouth raised a sarcasm, "Is that so? He straightened his thighs and straightened his feet, his body didn't shake his elbows, and he said that the scriptures are upright; my mother is knowledgeable, and Mingyue is shallow, so I don't understand what this means?"

The eldest lady was slightly stunned, and seeing Qiu Mingyue staring at her, she realized later that she seemed to be sitting in a bad posture, and her face was out of place, her face turned blue and white, her gums were gritted, and she had to bite the bullet. Said: "You are still young, even if you tell me, you don't understand. When you get married in the future, I will ask Mother Xi to tell you." Ask Qiu Mingxia.

"Where's uncle?"

Qiu Mingxia had a bright smile on her face, "She went to play chess with her cousin."

Xue Yuhua was the same age as Qiu Mingxia, only four months older than her.

The eldest lady nodded, and saw Qiu Minglan pensively, her cheeks flushed and her eyes shy, she was obviously full of spring when she heard Xue Yuhua's name just now, and she was overwhelmed with embarrassment.The eldest lady was angry.

"What about Mingyu, didn't you just stay with her all the time? Why didn't she come?" The lady deliberately mentioned Qiu Mingyu to warn Qiu Minglan.Qiu Mingyu is the daughter-in-law Mrs. Xue Guohou loves, so Qiu Minglan should stop wishful thinking.

Qiu Minglan pursed her lips, looked slightly cold, raised her head and said with a smile: "Third Sister was upset just now, she has already gone back."

The eldest lady said leisurely again: "You are going to worship at Baohua Temple tomorrow, are you ready?"

Qiu Minglan lowered her head to hide the emotions in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "It's ready."

The eldest lady looked at Qiu Mingrong who had been silent all this time, "Mingrong, Ming Yun is feeling better recently? Can you go out?"

Qiu Ming was taken aback for a moment, and then replied in a low voice: "Ming Yun has been in poor health since she was a child, and because of the grief over Aunt Yu's death, her body has become weaker. According to the doctor, she still cannot see the wind."

The eldest lady looked at the third lady, who covered her face with her sleeves, her eyes mournful.

"Pity my Mingyun girl, she has suffered a lot since she was a child, and drank so many medicines, but it still doesn't work."

Qiu Mingrong lowered his head, clenched his hands in his sleeves tightly, and his eyes flashed deep hatred in corners where others could not see.

The eldest lady said again: "Didn't the master invite Doctor Chen today, why didn't you show Ming Yun?"

"This—" the third lady was stunned for a moment, "The situation was so chaotic just now, I... actually forgot about it." She looked annoyed again, "It's not easy for Doctor Chen to come to the house once. I'm afraid I won't have this chance. Ming Yun... hey..."

The eldest lady stretched out a hand, took a teacup, took a sip of tea, and said without looking sideways: "At this time, let her go with you when you go to Baohua Temple. Anyway, sitting in a carriage is not a big problem. Next When driving, just put on an extra cloak. Ask the servant girl to bring her daily medicine and go to worship Buddha, maybe this disease will be cured." After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and teased Miss Wei in her arms, not allowing the third lady at all refute.

The third lady moved her lips, and could only say: "Yes."

Qiu Mingrong breathed a sigh of relief, she raised her head and took a quick look at Qiu Mingyue.The four eyes meet, it is already tacit understanding.

They exchanged a few more pleasantries throughout the room, and before they knew it, it was noon.The old lady sent someone to let everyone go to the hall for dinner.

There are a lot of people in the Qiu Mansion, the second and third rooms of the big house have always had separate meals, and each has a small stove, and the expenses are all counted as public expenditures.It's just that the old lady likes to be lively, and sometimes the whole family will gather in the hall for dinner.But usually for dinner.A few days after Qiu Mingxia returned home, Xu Shi was very happy, so for lunch, all the masters and masters of each house gathered in the hall to eat.Of course, on such an occasion, the concubines of each house are not allowed to participate.

Qiu Mingrui injured his leg and was unable to come.The old lady, the old lady, the eldest wife, the second wife, the third wife, and even Mrs. Xue Guohou all sat in turn.Then there are a group of sisters headed by Qiu Mingxia.Similarly, another table was opened for the male guests, which was covered by a screen.Even Qiu Mingxia and Shangguan Mochen, husband and wife, had to follow the etiquette on such an occasion.

From the beginning to the end of the lunch, it was a good meal, and there was no dispute.On the way, the old lady asked the second lady a question.

"Where's Mingxuan?"

The second lady said: "Mingxuan's hand is hurt, the doctor said he needs to rest for a few days."

The old matriarch asked again: "Is there a serious problem?" Just now she was all concerned about Qiu Mingrui, but she ignored Qiu Mingxuan.

The second lady said indifferently: "It's nothing serious, it's just that the doctor said it's best not to use a pen for these two days."

The old matriarch nodded, "That's fine, it happens that the master is off for a few days, so he can also take a few days off."

The third lady sat on the side, feeling rather uncomfortable.There are not many men in the Qiu Mansion, and there are only five concubines in total.According to the ancestral system, the legitimate son and the concubine must go to school separately.The third wife's son, Qiu Mingqi, is also a son of a concubine, but because the third master is a concubine, Qiu Mingqi was born with the word "concubine".Back then when some boys in the mansion entered the school, the second wife spoke sharply and satirically, and insisted on classifying Qiu Mingqi as a concubine, and entered an ordinary school together with the third young master Qiu Mingxi and the fourth miss Qiu Mingjin.And since Qiu Mingrui entered the mansion, the old man saw that he was talented and intelligent, so he put aside his identity as a concubine, and entered the best school with Qiu Mingxuan to receive the best education.

Debo School is a well-known school in the capital, equivalent to a modern aristocratic school.His teacher, Master Meng, is even more knowledgeable and talented. If any rich family who enters the Debo Academy can be treated differently by him, he will surely do extraordinary things in the future.The third house was an embarrassing existence in the Qiu Mansion. The third master was not the son of the old matriarch, and the old matriarch was not a mean mistress, so treating the third master was considered lenient.But after all, she is not her biological mother, and the eldest lady and the second lady are suppressing her, so the third lady naturally has to plan for herself.

Thinking of his own son, in this autumn mansion, he is almost not taken seriously at all.When she accidentally learned the secret of the treasure, she wanted to get a piece of the pie and then move out of the house.But now that Aunt Yu is dead, she still doesn't know that secret.That bitch Ziyu is actually unwilling to tell her the whereabouts of the map even if she dies.Qiu Mingrong and Qiu Ming Yun had been taking care of her that day, these two little bastards must know something.She originally wanted to press those two girls, after all, Qiu Mingyun's antidote was still in her hands.Unexpectedly, that bitch Ziyu died as soon as she died, and her grievances persisted, haunting her every day.It made her restless for days.
