Chapter 49
When talking about studying, Mrs. Xia couldn't help but talk too much.
She didn't say this in front of Mrs. Lu. Dudu and Lin Yunwan said happily: "I also played the piano when I was young, and then I gave up my piano skills after running the family."
But when I recall the happy times of my youth, I feel a little sad.
Mrs. Xia looked a little gloomy.
Lin Yunwan twirled her fingertips and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't play the piano, the calluses on your fingers are gone."
Lu Jia was curious for a moment: "Do you have calluses on your hands?"
Of course, how can someone who plays the piano not have calluses on their fingers?
Lin Yunwan spread her hands to show her, but her hands had stopped playing the piano long ago. Now they looked white and tender, as green as green onions, and very attractive.
Lu Jia took a look.
Her hand followed her father's. The joints were thick and the fingers were not so pretty. She originally wanted to praise Lin Yunwan, but for some reason she couldn't.
"My sister-in-law's hands really don't look like they have calluses at all."
She twisted her handkerchief and said this.
Lu Zhengliu took advantage of the situation and looked at Lin Yunwan's fingers, and couldn't help but look at her face. It was as white and delicate as the fine Ru porcelain, but Ru porcelain was cold. Her hands and her face should be warm. .
There are not many people in this room who can really talk about music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Mrs. Xia didn't think it was interesting to talk, so she just said something that the women could talk about: "In addition to running the house, women also need to be good craftsmen. I wonder how your embroidery skills are, Yun Wan?"
Her eyes were filled with anticipation.
Lin Yunwan smiled lightly and said: "It's so-so. I can only do some superficial embroidery work."
Mrs. Xia thought she was being modest and refused to believe it.
Fortunately, the female celebrities can really talk to each other, and Mrs. Wei also interjected: "Being a female worker is the best way to pass the time, but the only way to pass the time more than being a female worker is playing cards."
"I often play cards with the girls. Unfortunately, the girls are better than me. Sometimes I get angry when I lose too much."
Mrs. Xia smiled coldly: "Why bother getting angry with the girls and losing your identity?"
Mrs. Wei said: "Hey, what's the matter? They are all maids who have been serving me for many years."
Lu Jia secretly glared at Wei.
She, this aunt, really can't speak, how can she talk about playing cards! It would be more honorable to fight with the girls, even if it means fighting with the ladies of the uncle's house or the marquis' house.
She was already ashamed in front of her mother-in-law, so how could her aunt find a way to save her face?
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Lu Jia took a sip of tea. The tea in the cup was cold, and the aunt's girl didn't know how to come over to change it.
Lin Yunwan glanced at it and ordered: "Bring me a cup of tea."
She didn't explicitly order anyone. Fortunately, the girl here in the Wei family was quite smart. She came over immediately after hearing this and said: "Madam, aunt, this servant was negligent. I will bring you hot tea right now."
Lu Jia's face became better.
As soon as she turned around, she saw her mother-in-law looking at Lin Yunwan with admiration, more affectionately than she looked at her own daughter.
She is obviously the daughter-in-law of the Xia family!
There is an embroidered screen in Wei's room. The west-folded screen connects to form a picture of "Thousands of Armies Crossing the Water". The finishing touch is the figure on horseback.
This screen is the only tasteful item in Wei's room.
Mrs. Xia took a high look and praised the figure above: "The acupuncture technique is used well. It is a rare product."
Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "This was embroidered by Yun Wan. She had been embroidering it for a whole year when she first came here, and gave it to me as a birthday gift. I like it very much, and I can't bear to put it away even after I use it."
"Oh? So it was Yun Wanxiu?"
Mrs. Xia smiled and scolded: "You also said that your embroidery skills are sloppy, but you can't call it sloppy!"
Lu Jia glanced at the screen and said, "I should have used virtual needles here. It looks good at first glance, but it's a pity... I used the wrong needle method." His eyes fell on the character's cheek.
"She used a combination of reality and fiction to achieve her needs. This whole show, the balance between reality and reality is very good."
Mrs. Xia gave her a cold look: "If you're not good at learning, just shut up."
Lu Jia bit her lip.
The reason why she is not good at school is not because the Lu family does not pay attention to her female celebrity.
Mrs. Xia felt that she had not reprimanded her enough, so she went on to say, "You are far inferior to Yun Wan as a daughter-in-law. Learn more from your siblings."
Lu Jia's face turned pale and she said with a stiff face, "Of course my sister-in-law has done well in everything. I have a lot to learn from her!"
Lin Yunwan felt bad.
Mrs. Xia really likes her too much, and her words are too vain and hurtful.
How could Lu Jia endure such a narrow-minded character?
I must hate her.
But it's best for her not to say anything now, as anything she says will only add fuel to the fire.
Mrs. Wei didn't dare to argue with the old lady of the Xia family. She was stupid and couldn't win against the Xia family.
Lu Zhengliu had to rescue his sister, but he was a man after all, so he couldn't interfere in the affairs of the women in the house openly, so he talked about the men's affairs: "Is the old lady in good health?"
Mrs. Xia smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, I care about you. Everything is fine. You will know when you see me tomorrow." Then she mentioned casually: "Because I have a brother who is a doctor. He is very good at medicine and everyone in the family is I would like to ask him to help me take care of my body, and I can prevent minor illnesses and no one in my family will get sick."
"It's a blessing for the family that someone is practicing medicine. I wonder if my uncle will follow him when he comes to Beijing this time?"
Madam Xia hesitated for a moment, then said: "He's here too, but... he has something important to do, so he'll leave as soon as he's done."
Lu Zhengliu nodded and said, "Now that you're here, you don't want to see anyone else. It doesn't hurt to stay at home together."
Mrs. Xia then said: "He is especially good at seeing eye diseases. This time he came to Beijing to see a noble man. Someone will receive him, so there is no need to trouble you anymore." But she did not mention the identity of the noble man.
"Are you seeing eye problems?"
Lin Yunwan asked in surprise.
Mrs. Xia looked at her and asked with concern: "Yunwan, do you have any discomfort in your eyes?"
Lu Zhengliu rushed to say for her: "My mother-in-law has eye disease and has been blind for several years. I wonder if my uncle could take time to check my mother-in-law's eyes?"
"Of course, I will send someone to send a message to the place where he stayed."
Lin Yunwan took the opportunity to say, "If I bother my uncle to make one more trip, the child Changgong is also weak-sighted. I'm worried that the child will develop eye diseases when he grows up, which will delay his career as an official."
Mrs. Xia paused for a moment before saying: "That's okay, but I'm afraid that time is tight and it may be inconvenient to see Chang Gong at a time. You have to ask the child to wait at all times."
Lin Yunwan smiled: "That's right. There is absolutely no reason to make the doctor wait for the patient."
Mrs. Xia said something to the girl beside her and went to invite her brother.
Lu Zhengliu glanced at Lin Yunwan.
Does she miss an adopted son so much?
Lin Yunwan didn't look at him.
Lu Zhengliu always stayed out of her affairs, so he didn't know what he had in mind this time. Maybe you want to gain a reputation as a good husband in front of your relatives?
Then it will be difficult for him to do so.
Lin Yunwan didn't bother to think about it deeply.
