Chapter 1168 Heart-to-heart talk between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
From the Spring Festival to now, Zhu Qi has not seen his family for several months. During dinner in the evening, under the reminder of his personal servant, he took the initiative to raise a glass to express his gratitude to Zhu San for his success in the exam, and also wished Zhu San good luck in the future.
I will be able to get a good score in the next college examination.
He smiled and said: "If Third Brother really wins, then we will have two scholar masters in our family. Third Brother, you have to work hard!"
"Okay, then I'll give it a try. Thank you Qidi!" Substituting tea for wine, Zhu San drank it all.
The next day, Ye Yuran visited Mr. Xu with Mr. Zhu San and his wife. One wanted to thank Mr. Xu for his support to Zhu San. Without him, Zhu San would not have achieved the good results he did now; the other also wanted Mr. Xu to take the exam again.
Check Zhu San to see if there is anything else that needs to be "crammed"; by the way, let Mr. Xu take a look at his granddaughter who married into the Zhu family.
Mr. Xu was very happy for the arrival of the three people.
Yesterday, he heard the news that his grandson and grandson-in-law were back. If it was normal, he would have come to the door long ago, but this time his mother-in-law was accompanying her, so he reluctantly waited until the next day.
After some official greetings with Ye Yuran, he was alone with his granddaughter.
This was the first time that Xu Yujin left him and went to someone else's house to celebrate the New Year. Mr. Xu felt a little uncomfortable when he returned to the Xu family. Seeing the smile on his granddaughter's face again, Mr. Xu smiled and said: "You seem to have gained weight.
Got it!"
"Grandpa, I don't have one." She said she was fine otherwise. Xu Yujin didn't expect that her grandfather's first words would be this when they met alone. She didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.
But Mr. Xu stared at Xu Yujin for a long time, and the evidence was that he said with great certainty: "You are indeed fat. Look at your complexion. It is much better than before. I thought that the first time you went to live with the Zhu family, Sanlang went to the imperial examination again.
, you are not used to being alone in your husband's house... I didn't expect that you actually gained weight, so it seems that I am worried too much, and you are living quite comfortably there."
Xu Yujin was a little embarrassed. She didn't admit it. In fact, the sisters-in-law in her husband's family were all good at cooking, especially Sanlang's fourth brother, who was a god chef in the world.
Sanlang was taking exams outside, but the Zhu family were worried that she could not eat or sleep well, so they tried every means to prepare delicious food for her, including Zhu Si.
Zhu Si was so good at his craftsmanship that she couldn't control it for a moment, and then...
"Grandpa, Saburo didn't even say I'm fat, but you said it. What do you mean by your eyes? Good complexion means good complexion. What does it have to do with being fat?"
Seeing that his granddaughter refused to admit that she was "fat", Mr. Xu didn't care and started laughing.
The more she behaves like this, doesn't it mean that she is living a good life in the Zhu family?
Looking at the clearness and brightness in his granddaughter's eyebrows, Mr. Xu asked about the details of her stay at the Zhu family. Although Xu Yujin had already told some of them in the letter, the feeling of telling them in person was still different.
Xu Yujin did not hide anything. She talked about her "fear and uneasiness" when she was alone in Zhu's house for the first time, and why Zhu San failed in the imperial examination. She highlighted all her emotions. Among them, Zhu Bamei's daughter Hongfang, the Zhu family's
Zhu's Meng Xue, etc.
When it came to this, Mr. Xu said wisely, but Zhu San was in the critical period of the imperial examination, so he asked Xu Yujin to wait until Zhu San finished the exam to discuss it in detail.
After the grandfather and grandson finished talking, Zhu San went in.
Zhu San's purpose was much clearer. He wanted to test his recent study status, ask him about his feelings about the county and government examinations, and what Mr. Xu's predictions were for this college examination.
In the academy, they were checking for deficiencies and fixing them. There was a maidservant waiting for Ye Yuran outside. After Xu Yujin came out, she also walked straight over.
Ye Yuran smiled and said that the situation here was still the same when she came here last time. At that time, she really did not expect that Mr. Xu would marry his precious granddaughter to their family. She described this matter as "fairy"
"Down to Earth" and "Weaver Girl and Cowherd" not only praised Xu Yujin highly, but also highly praised the fate between the two.
Xu Yujin blushed a little when she was told: "Actually, I didn't expect it at first... I didn't expect that I would meet such a good mother-in-law. Mom, to put it a little offensively, before we got married, I was always worried that you wouldn't like me.
I was afraid that if I didn’t do well here or there, I would make you unhappy. But I didn’t expect that you would be so tolerant of me and guide me how to integrate into that big family. Thank you, mother!”
"How come?" Ye Yuran said with a surprised expression, "You are gentle, virtuous, and capable of taking care of the family business. You can't find such a good daughter-in-law even if you hold a lantern. How could I not like you? On the contrary.
I'm still a little worried. I'm afraid that my mother-in-law, who is a country woman, has never seen much of the world, and doesn't understand the rules of your wealthy family, will have some misunderstandings with you. It would be great if there are misunderstandings that can be explained clearly.
I'm afraid that if I can't explain clearly, the misunderstanding will get bigger and bigger, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be affected. We are a family, if we don't get along well, wouldn't it be a big problem? "
Xu Yujin didn't expect that Ye Yuran also had this worry, and admitted with a blush that she was actually a little "scared" too.
It's just different from Ye Yuran's worry. Her worry is that she was raised according to the rules of a wealthy family. Although she is not ignorant of the sufferings of the world, she doesn't know much about things in the "countryside". At most, she knows about the things at home.
There are several Zhuangzi.
She was also afraid that if she abided by the rules of the big family, her mother-in-law would mistakenly think that she was squeamish or something, but some things were brought up from childhood, and she was used to this.
"I was also very worried at that time. I was afraid that there were too many rules in a big family. I was used to it and took it for granted, but my mother, my sister-in-law, and my brothers and sisters didn't know. If I did something wrong, you guys would
I'm sorry to mention it... won't there be conflicts as time goes by?" Actually, what Xu Yujin didn't say was that she thought the countryside would be very dirty, messy, and rude, with no place to walk.
But for Zhu San, she was willing to "endure".
She even thought that in the worst case, she would find a way to "change" the Zhu family.
If everyone takes a step back, they can always think of a way to reconcile.
But what she didn't expect was that when she actually arrived at the Zhu family's house, although the Zhu family's house was not as majestic, tall and gorgeous as the Xu family's in Yizhou, it was still clean, tidy and comfortable. It was another situation that she had not expected. And those sisters-in-law
, maybe the voice is a little louder, but it is not without some etiquette.
The Zhu family may not have as many rules as the big family, but it is still a place with "etiquette standards", but it is more flexible and more suitable for the current situation of the Zhu family.
Xu Yujin gained a lot during the past few months in the Zhu family, and she seemed to understand why the Zhu family had people like Zhu San and Zhu Qi.
Ye Yuran agreed and said with a smile: "In the final analysis, this is a problem of communication. If everyone is willing to speak out and work in the same direction, then what can't be reconciled? Can you tolerate the Zhu family?
It's not a big family, there aren't that many rules; the Zhu family can tolerate the rules and regulations of a big family, as long as you feel comfortable that way. You are my daughter-in-law, the mother of my future grandson, your original intention must be
It is for their own good; and I am your husband’s mother and the grandmother of your future child. My original intention is also to wish them well. This is what we have in common. Our goals are the same, and there may be conflicts.
