Returning from Rongguo Province..,
Madam Jia He was all smiles,
"Yes,
You handled it well today,
You have to be like this in the future. You are the eldest daughter-in-law of Ningguo Province,
You will be the matriarch of Ningguo Province in the future,
So..,
You have to show the boldness that you should have, "
Madam Jia He retorted to Xia Lu's mother Jia's words today,
She was very happy.
"My wife's personality is straightforward. I just really feel that the chefs in Rongguo Province are really not working hard. It's not that I really don't want to do it," Xia Lu said respectfully. As a person, one had to be a little more tactful,
If one day, she accidentally contradicted her mother-in-law. When she thought of what happened today, would she think that she was born to contradict her elders? So..,
She still had to make up for it after the incident,
She had to let her mother-in-law understand that she was not the kind of person who was not filial to her elders.
"Hehe,
Those servants in Rongguo Province, "Madam Jia He pursed her lips,
Fortunately, Rongguo Province was now under the management of sister-in-law She,
The servants in Rongguo Province were arrogant and opportunistic. In the past, when the aunt in Xi Province was in charge of the family, those servants really had a pair of eyes for wealth.
"Madam, do you think that the old lady in Xi Province will think that her daughter-in-law is unfilial?" Xia Lu's eyes were a little worried.
"Don't worry, how can I not know what kind of person you are? You're not married in Xi Province. I'm your proper mother-in-law." Madam Jia He looked at Xia Lu lovingly. She was still a little worried in her heart. After all, the status of the aunt in Xi Province was there. If she said a few bad things about Xia Clan in front of the other women, she was afraid that Xia Clan would be ostracized when they attended those gatherings. Madam Jia He frowned slightly.
"Yes." Xia Lu nodded obediently.
"By the way, the Young Madam of Marquis Li sent me an invitation card, saying that there will be a Flower Banquet. You and I will go together." Although Mrs. Jia had received the invitation card, she did not intend to go. People like them held banquets for a purpose. The Young Madam of Marquis Li had reached the marriageable age. This Flower Banquet was for the Young Madam of Marquis Li's third son to find a wife for the Young Madam of Marquis Li's third son. Their Zhen 'er had already married a second wife, so she was not very interested in this Flower Banquet. However, since such a thing had happened today, she felt that it was necessary to attend. First, she would publicize her daughter-in-law's virtuous reputation in front of other women.
"Yes, but your daughter-in-law has never attended a flower banquet like this. I don't know what to prepare." Xia Lu was a little shy. In fact, she was quite interested in this kind of gathering. After all, she wanted to run a cosmetics shop in the future, so she naturally needed these noble ladies to take care of the business.
"It's okay. Don't you have me? Besides, we're just going to accompany the group of unmarried girls at the flower banquet," Madam Jia He said.
"Yes." Xia Lu understood that this flower banquet was a disguised marriage banquet.
"Later, tell the sewing room to hurry up and make two sets of clothes for you first. There are more than ten days to the flower banquet. It's not too late to ask the embroiderers in the mansion to hurry up." Since they planned to bring Xia Clan to the flower banquet, they naturally had to prepare well. When the women of the mansion went out, their every move represented Ningguo Province. Therefore, they could not be careless.
"I'll listen to Madam's instructions." Xia Lu did not decline pretentiously. She said that she had a lot of new clothes and did not need new clothes made. She had just gotten married, so how could her mother-in-law not know that she had a lot of new clothes? Since her mother-in-law knew and said that she wanted new clothes made, it meant that those clothes were not suitable for the flower banquet. She was a newcomer, so how could she have more experience than her mother-in-law? Therefore, she would listen to her mother-in-law's instructions. Even if it was not the best, it would not be embarrassing.
Madam Jia He nodded. After she went back, she directly began to instruct the sewing room to measure Xia Lu's size and then rush to make the clothes. Moreover, in the following time, Madam Jia He did not let Xia Lu continue to learn how to manage a household. Instead, she began to teach her the things to pay attention to when attending the flower banquet.
Xia Lu summed up a few points from her mother-in-law's many rules. First, she should not run around casually. Especially, she should not stay in a secluded place for the sake of peace and quiet. After all, when there were many women, it was easy to cause trouble. If she saw something she should not see or bumped into someone she should not see, it would be terrible.
Second, speaking less was better than not speaking at all. Speaking less was better than speaking carelessly. If she did not know what to say, she should maintain a polite smile and not speak carelessly. If she had the ability, she could change the topic, but she should not speak carelessly.
Third, she should not trust others easily, whether it was a kind-looking madam or a strange maid.
Fourth, she should eat less and drink less water. Even if she was hungry, she should eat less or not eat at all. This was because it was really indecent to go to the bathroom outside.
Xia Lu looked at these rules and pursed her lips. Well, if you want to wear a crown, you have to bear its weight. She did not feel that it was very difficult to abide by these rules. However, Xia Lu wanted to say that her mother-in-law was quite fashionable. According to her mother-in-law's requirements, the plot of those costume dramas could not be developed. First, she should not run around carelessly. In a costume drama, if the female lead did not run around carelessly and bumped into the male lead or the supporting male lead, then it could not be called a costume drama.
As for the second point, in many TV dramas, the supporting female lead was killed by the male lead because she spoke carelessly. Third, if she did not trust others easily, how could she show the true beauty of the female lead? How could there be a conflict in the plot? As for eating less, this point was generally followed in the plot. After all, the male lead was busy with the first and third points. How could he have the time to sit down and drink tea and eat?
Xia Lu complained in her heart. On the other side, Jia Zhen was envious that Xia Lu had to accompany Madam Jia. After all, because of his leg, he had not been out of the room for a long time.
"Hey, violent woman, come back early," Jia Zhen urged.
"It depends on my wife. What's wrong, little wife? Can't bear to leave your Husband so soon?" Xia Lu smiled and looked at Jia Zhen with envy. She was very proud.
"I'm afraid that you will encounter some trouble outside, so I asked you to come back early." Jia Zhen would not admit that after he was injured, he would not feel bored only when Xia Clan was by his side. Although Xia Clan was violent and ate a lot, sometimes it was quite interesting.
"Okay, you are so stubborn. Have you finished reading today's book?" Xia Lu did not mind Jia Zhen's awkwardness. However, she found it funny because she called Jia Zhen little wife too many times. In the past, he would refute it, but now he was completely used to it. When he heard her call him little wife, he did not feel awkward at all. Should she force Jia Zhen to call her Husband more often? After a few more times, he would get used to it. Thinking about it, it was quite interesting.
Jia Zhen was discouraged. He felt that he had read all the books that he wanted to read in his life. He really did not like the Four Books and Five Classics. He needed to rest now.
"You haven't finished reading?" Xia Lu raised her eyebrows.
"I will finish reading today. Don't keep mentioning it, okay?" Jia Zhen pursed his lips and was very dissatisfied. He was just a little slow in reading. Why was this violent woman urging him?
"Actually, I think that you should not think that reading is boring. We can learn some interesting things," Xia Lu said.
"Interesting things? Reading can be interesting? "Jia Zhen was a little confused.
"For example, in the Analects of Confucius, we often say that when your parents are alive, you should not travel far. What we understand is that when your parents are alive, you should not travel far. However, the true meaning of the Analects of Confucius is not that. When your parents are alive, you should not travel far. There must be a way to travel. The meaning of this sentence is not that when your parents are alive, you should not travel far. When you travel far away, you should clearly explain to your parents why you are going out, when you are going out, when you are going out, when you are coming back, where you are going, and what you are going to do. This is the true meaning of this sentence, isn't it?" Xia Lu said.
Jia Zhen thought about it carefully. She was right.
"Moreover, this is not the only sentence in the Analects of Confucius. We often say that we should think twice before acting. What you are saying now is that we should think twice before doing something, right? However, the original meaning of the Analects of Confucius is not like that. Ji Wenzi should think thrice before acting. Confucius said, 'That's fine.' When translated, it means that Ji Wenzi often hesitated before acting. When Confucius heard this, he said, 'You don't have to be like this. In the future, you only need to think twice.' Is that right? "Xia Lu said.
Jia Zhen asked Xia Lu to take the Analects of Confucius and read it carefully. Then, he looked at Xia Lu with a complicated expression and said, "Although you are quite violent, you are still quite literary."
Xia Lu rolled his eyes. Haha, in any case, his sister was admitted to a 985 university back then. The 985 University was one of the best universities in the country. Even though she wasn't the Goddess of Studies back then, in the eyes of the other students, she was considered a top student. However, when she was in university, she worked part-time and was tricked into joining a makeup company. She started working in makeup. After she graduated from university, she tried to find other jobs, but none of them were very ideal. At that time, she was doing very well in the makeup company. Since the job in her profession wasn't ideal, she changed her profession and focused on makeup work. Later, when she attended a class reunion, those students who chose her profession really didn't do as well as her.
Thinking about it now, she was quite happy. When she was in the makeup industry, the company was very small. Including the boss, there were less than ten people. At that time, she did not have much experience and was tricked by the boss. She spent all her free time on makeup work. At the beginning, she did not have much income. By the time she was in her third year of university, she earned about ten thousand yuan a month. Thinking about it now, she felt a sense of accomplishment. Later, because more and more women started putting on makeup, not to mention white-collar workers, even university students knew how to put on light makeup. Therefore, their company developed very quickly. Later, after cooperating with the entertainment industry, it was considered a relatively big brand.
Unexpectedly, after a plane crash, she transmigrated. Everything she had before was gone. Thinking about it, she really felt that she was a little unlucky.
