Mrs.
Qu also knew a little bit about Yurou's recent actions.
As a housewife who controlled the back house, she knew everyone's movements clearly.
But she thinks this is a good thing.
If a girl's family knows current affairs, she will live a better life if she marries into someone else's family in the future.
Because of this, Mrs.
Qu made an appointment with Mrs.
Lin Er and Mrs.
Tang to have a ritual ceremony at Xianfeng Temple on the ninth day of September.
She also took Yurou there so that she could get acquainted with her future mother-in-law.
As for Yutong, she was learning the rules, so Qu didn't plan to take her out.
Aunt Zhu first checked Yutong's embroidery work, frowned, and said bluntly, "The Seventh Young Lady needs to be strengthened."
Yutong doesn't like embroidery very much.
She always feels that it hurts her neck and is not good for her eyes.
However, in this era, a woman's beauty represents a person's face in a certain way, and her family will not agree with Yutong's poor performance.
Red, so Yutong had to devote some energy to it.
Of course, Grandma Zhu did not just teach acupuncture.
When teaching Yutong color matching, she would inevitably teach some dos and don'ts.
Bright yellow and golden yellow cannot be used indiscriminately.
What kind of cloth is a tribute and what is best for young girls to embroider.
By the way, I also popularized the clothes of the imperial concubines, how to identify their rank through their clothes, or how to understand the title of the person by the crown and hat on their head, etc.
At the same time, she had strict rules for Yutong's behavior, and she even had to smile in front of the flower mirror until she was satisfied with the nun.
"Miss Seventh, you need to raise the corners of your mouth a little more so that you look like you are smiling."
Yutong did it several more times before meeting Mammy Zhu's request.
Learning these is very boring and even tiring.
It will make you wonder how the day has passed so long.
Even eating has become the biggest luxury, because only when you eat can you feel more relaxed.
Mrs.
Qu felt it was very effective and took better care of Grandma Zhu's daily life.
Aunt Zhu's view of Yutong has also changed.
At first, she thought Yutong was inconspicuous and had no aura, but once she got started, she did very well.
This family provides almost all-round training to their legitimate daughter.
Even if she learns the rules, she does not miss studying.
Fortunately, although the young lady in this family will get angry, she will not resort to ghosts to escape.
The schedule is very full every day.
I get up at six o'clock in the morning to have breakfast and study.
I am accompanied by Aunt Zhu for dinner at eleven or twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
I start sewing around one o'clock in the afternoon, and start learning etiquette around three o'clock in the afternoon.
After dinner, Mammy Zhu asked Chunying to take a bath with special Chinese medicine.
After the bath, the girls helped her relax her muscles and bones, and Yutong read for a while, and the day passed like this.
It wasn't until the ninth day of September, when Mrs.
Tang came to Zhang's house to pick up Qu and Yurou, that she saw Yutong was really different.
It wasn't that Yutong was not good in the past, it was just that some of her emotions were too exposed.
Her happiness and unhappiness were basically displayed on her face, and she spoke and acted much more casually.
Now when I say hello to her, I have a smile on my face.

Even when I bend my knees to say hello, my upper body doesn't move at all, and the pendant on my body doesn't make any sound when I walk.
Mrs.
Tang praised: "I heard your mother say that you are learning the rules now, and now you really look like a big girl."
Yutong covered her mouth and smiled: "You are really flattering me.
Originally, I was too naughty, which made my mother want to punish me.
Now I am just better than before, but I can't compare with Sister Yan."
Qu also said a few words of modesty, but from the way the corners of Qu's mouth raised, Yutong could tell that she was still very happy.
That's all, as long as it makes her mother happy, she thinks it's worth it.
Since Tang Yan didn't come over, Yutong asked a few more questions: "Why don't you see Sister Yan?"
Mrs.
Tang then said, "Sister Yan, you are also learning the rules just like you."
After Mrs.
Tang's further explanation, I found out that the Tang family had hired a female gentleman in Hangzhou to teach Tang Yan about female celebrities and the rules.
Tang Yan was already a grown-up girl, so it was inconvenient for her to go out and about.
In fact, Tang Yan was only thirteen years old.
In modern times, she might have been just a junior high school student, but here she was already a big girl.
Parents have the same heart, hoping that their sons will succeed and their daughters will succeed.
Especially in this era, where women are in such a harsh environment, parents always hope that their daughters will not be criticized by others.
After they finished talking, Mrs.
Lin interrupted and said it was getting late.
Mrs.
Qu took Yurou and Mrs.
Lin in the same carriage.
Mrs.
Lin was relieved to see that Yurou walked lightly but was not as meticulous as her sister.
This daughter-in-law is the daughter of a noble family, and her name sounds good.
It is rare that she is a concubine.
If she wants to put on airs in their family, she will not be as presumptuous as her sister-in-law.
Mrs.
Lin Er occasionally asked Yurou some questions such as "What do you usually like to do" and "What do you like to eat?"
The attitude was very kind, and Yurou slowly let go of her heart.
After all, she was taught by Aunt Mao, so she had a lot of tricks up her sleeves, and she returned to her normal state after a while.
Mrs.
Lin became more and more satisfied after seeing it.
After the two families passed the tax collection, Aunt Mao felt much happy when she saw the full thirty-six betrothal gifts.
The Lin family has a large tea field in Yizhou, so they sent a lot of tea like Mengding Manna and Bamboo Leaf Green.
The Zhang family was filled with the fragrance of tea for a while.
The date has been set, but it still has to go through the motions.
Yurou will be leaving the house in a few days, so she basically doesn't go out now.
So Yutong and Yujia went to Yurou's place to see her.
Yurou now lives at the back of Qu's courtyard.
When she enters the door, her eyes are red.
She wears a wedding dress embroidered with pomegranates and a hijab with mandarin ducks playing in the water.
"I had already made so many things before I knew it.
At that time, I was still thinking that half a year would come, but I didn't expect it would go by so fast."

Maybe it was because she was about to leave home, but Yurou suddenly felt very reluctant to leave.
She thought that although her aunt was not very affectionate to her, she had given her everything she had to give.
Last time, she even let her take a sneak peek at her future husband behind the screen.
He was also a bookish young man.
His speech also seems very honest.
Forty-eight dowries were also prepared for the dowry.
There was a small house for two people in Yizhou City, two hundred acres of paddy fields, and two thousand taels of money for the packing.
In Aunt Mao's words, this was how it was for Aunt Yang's daughter to get married. , and it was not as thoughtful as I thought, basically all of it was converted into cash, which seemed like a lot but was not used.
The husband was very satisfied and the dowry was generous, so Yurou reciprocated and treated Yutong especially well.
"Seventh sister and ninth sister, come here, I have something for you too."
Yutong pretended to be surprised and said: "What is it?
I'm really looking forward to it."
It turned out to be a pair of hairpins for one person.
Yutong's hairpin was obviously more gorgeous.
It was an auspicious cloud hairpin inlaid with white jade and red coral.
It was obvious that it was expensive to make.
Yujia's is just a small golden hairpin with phoenix wings.
She has already understood the gap between her and Yutong, and will not show her dissatisfaction.
But Yutong found it a bit tricky: "Third sister, this is too luxurious."
But Yurou waved her hand: "Why do you and I sisters say this?"
But his attitude was very firm, and Yutong had no choice but to accept it.
Of course, Yutong also brought something this time.
Their daughter's family didn't have much money on hand.
Yutong gave him a book of poems and his own clothes and purse, and Yujia was almost the same.
Yurou said a few words with gratitude before sending them out.
Yujia went back first, but Yutong came to see Qu and showed her what Yurou gave her.
"Although Third Sister means well, I don't think it's good in front of Yujia."
If you really want to give yourself something valuable, you should avoid people.
Treating her differently in front of Yujia, I'm afraid Yujia doesn't hate Yurou and will have a problem with herself.
But Mrs.
Qu thought it was nothing: "It's nothing.
If everything is the same now, I will feel even more unhappy in the future."
This is the reason why Ms.
Qu didn't ask the Hou Mansion to teach her mother-in-law, so she took three of the older generation's As far as the aunts are concerned, all three aunts are treated the same, and even the number of people they serve at home is the same.
But when it came time to get married, the eldest aunt married the crown prince of Zhenhai, while the second and third aunts could only find husbands from low-level officials.
The eldest aunt's wife carried one hundred and twenty dowry, while the second aunt's wife and the third aunt's wife only carried sixty.
According to Qu Guogong's old lady, it is estimated that the full load will not exceed thirty-six tons.
There are many things, but few of them are useful.
Moreover, the relationship between the three aunts is not very good.
Since the death of the eldest aunt Yang, the second aunt and the third aunt have also had a very bad life.
I heard Mrs.
Li from Anping Marquess wrote a letter last year that she had taken over her two aunt’s daughters to raise.
People outside praised Mrs.
Zhu for her bodhisattva-hearted heart.
No one knows what kind of suffering she will suffer in the future. .

On the contrary, in the Duke of Qu's palace, the legitimate concubines have been clearly distinguished since they were young, so the Qu family has no jealousy towards their legitimate sisters.
They have been different since birth, so why maintain the superficial appearance?
In the end, they will not be filled with hatred.
Yutong seemed to be thinking: "Mom, what you said makes sense."
Turning around, Mrs.
Qu talked about Zhang Gui's return: "Your brother hasn't been back for two months, and I don't know if he has lost weight."
In the past, Zhang Gui was very naughty.
He loved to play pranks.
He would laugh with his belly in his hands when others made fools of him.
Even Zhang Zhao could not do anything about his son.
He even said he would send him to the north to serve as a soldier.
He was so lively. , lived so freely, even Yutong thought her brother's grin was particularly cute.
Since the death of her eldest brother Zhang Cheng, Zhang Gui has changed.
He has become educated, educated, and gentle.
Even when he smiles, he smiles lightly.
This brother is very heart-wrenching.
Yutong forced a smile: "I saw my brother's body was much stronger when he came back last time.
He said he was still practicing swordsmanship and learning to ride horses in the academy."
Because Yu Rou had to have her brother carry the sedan chair when she got married, Zhang Gui was recalled.
It is said that he had met Brother Lin in the academy, so he had to come back.
Yutong is also looking forward to it.
She recently learned how to cook a few side dishes from Mr.
Qu, and she also wants her brother to try them. gd1806102:
