Dong Shu actually didn't know about the worry in her heart. She followed Xu Yanzhu from the main courtyard of the Old Madame Xu to the side room where she lived.
However, Dong Shu did not feel embarrassed, nor did she feel that she was inferior to Xu Yanzhu.
At this moment, what she was thinking about the most was learning from Xu Yanzhu. After learning it, it would be better for her to return to her husband's side as soon as possible.
”Third Aunt, you like these?” Xu Yanzhu looked at the embroidery rack in her room and the piece of paper on the table that she used to practice her calligraphy on, and immediately asked.
Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Dong Shu first shook her head, then turned to look at her, and shamed: ”No, this is the first time I have seen this.” Dong Shu could also embroider flowers, but she could only embroider some wild flowers that she had seen in the village.
As for writing, she was even less able to do so.
After learning from her husband for half a month, she could only write the names of herself and her husband. Furthermore, her writing was not very good.
Xu Yanzhu saw that Dong Shu was looking at the embroidery rack, so she also walked towards it. She lowered her eyes, raised her hand and caressed Lian Di Lian who was on the embroidery rack, and said in disappointment: ”This embroidery of mine, is only just for everyday use.” After saying that, Xu Yanzhu quickly put away her previous disappointment and turned to look at Dong Shu: ”But Third Aunt doesn't need to learn all of this. There is a embroidery mother at home, and they also have familiar shops for making clothes everyday.”
As Xu Yanzhu spoke, she pulled Dong Shu to the side of the cave and sat down. While stroking the water bottle on the table, seeing that the temperature of the water was just right, she raised her hand and poured Dong Shu a cup of water.
”Third Aunt, Grandmother and Third Uncle didn't want you to learn from me about rules and regulations. They didn't want you to learn from me.” As Xu Yanzhu spoke, she also poured a cup for herself. Only then did she continue, ”I saw that grandmother and Third Uncle's intentions were to have you follow me to learn how to greet and pay respects, as well as how to act when everyone is eating.”
After saying that, Xu Yanzhu raised the teacup in front of him and pecked at it, then looked at Dong Shu and laughed: ”Actually I think that Third Aunt's appearance at the time of the meal is very good, just a look would be enough to cause a person's appetite.”
Seeing Xu Yanzhu drinking the water, Dong Shu imitated her and drank the tea with her teacup.
After she put down the teacup in her hand, she looked at Xu Yanzhu and said, ”Husband also said that his appetite had improved when he saw me eating, and he would eat half a bowl more than usual.”
Dong Shu didn't think that she was that bad, but after this morning, she also understood one thing.
People with Xu Family and the people she had come into contact with were all different.
Since she had already married into the Xu Family, she should naturally learn these things.
At the very least, he couldn't let his husband lose face!
Xu Yanzhu looked at Third Aunt, who was three years younger than her, with a determined expression. When she came back to her senses, Xu Yanzhu asked: ”Has Third Uncle informed you about the situation in Third Aunt's home?”
Hearing Xu Yanzhu's question, Dong Shu hurriedly said, ”Husband, please give us a rough idea.” Dong Shu saw that Xu Yanzhu was confused, and immediately continued to ask: ”Yanzhu, is there anything wrong with the situation at home? Your Third Uncle didn't say it before, so I didn't think much of it. ”
Indeed, Dong Shu did not take this matter to heart before.
After all, she was married to her husband. As long as he thought she was good, she felt that everything was good.
But after experiencing today's events, Dong Shu realized that her thoughts were not right.
As for what was wrong, Dong Shu couldn't figure it out, but her beast like intuition told her that something was wrong.
Xu Yanzhu had been intelligent since she was young, and when she saw the change in Dong Shu's expression, she had already guessed what she was thinking.
”Third Aunt, since Third Uncle did not tell you about your family's matter, I will not tell you in detail.” Xu Yanzhu could guess why Third Uncle did not tell her in detail about the family's matters. After saying that, she saw that Third Aunt only frowned for a moment before obediently nodding her head, and immediately smiled: ”Third Aunt, no need to rush. I heard Grandmother say that Eldest Uncle and Father will be free at the beginning of April, at the end of March.
It is still a month away from that time. If you want to know more about the matters at home, you can ask Third Uncle about it at that time. ”
Xu Yanzhu then looked at Dong Shu and said: ”Today, I will first teach you to bow to your elders, and then teach you to bow to your peers. You should take your time to learn it, since there's no rush. ” With that, Xu Yanzhu stood up and walked to the center of the room, slowly bowing to Dong Shu.
Seeing Xu Yanzhu's actions, Dong Shu felt that it was an indescribable beauty.
Especially when Xu Yanzhu stood up and walked towards the center of the room earlier, Dong Shu felt that she was extremely beautiful.
When Xu Yanzhu raised her head, she saw the Third Aunt's shocked and admiring expression looking at her. She took a few steps forward, lifted up her horse shaped skirt, and revealed her slender legs.
”Our girls all had to wrap their feet. I remember when I was about four or five years old, my grandmother told my mother to tie my feet with long strips of cloth.” As Xu Yanzhu spoke, she slowly let go of the hand that was holding onto the horse mask skirt and continued to speak: ”The reason why our family's girls wrap around our feet is just to make us look slim, it's not to change our feet.
Our feet had been bound since childhood, so they looked slim and small. And it's precisely because of this that when I walked just now, Third Aunt felt that it was nice to watch. ”
Xu Yanzhu was speaking the truth. She didn't know why she had to explain all of this to Third Aunt, but it was all because of the shocked expression Third Aunt had.
