Chapter 102 Learn more from your sister-in-law
The memory of the past was too deep. When Jiang Yijing and Xiao Miluo heard that Zhu Yingyan came to look for Zhu Xuntao, their first reaction was to worry that Zhu Xuntao would be bullied by Zhu Yingyan like before without even a chance to explain.
The mother and daughter were ready to rush out at any time to charge into the enemy's camp for Zhu Xuntao.
What they didn't expect was that Zhu Xuntao handled it by herself, and they were useless.
The point is that Jiang Yijing nodded repeatedly to Zhu Xuntao's performance:
"Learn more from your sister-in-law, this is the style and bearing that the mistress of the house should have."
"Don't be impatient or impatient, don't be coquettish or lazy, and don't let others lead you by the nose. You have to be the one who leads others by the nose."
"Zhu Yingyan is not your sister-in-law's opponent at all. I misjudged these two sisters before."
Zhu Xuntao is the kind of daughter-in-law she wants.
If she had known that Zhu Xuntao had such a side, what she had seen in the past was Zhu Xuntao pretending,
even if they couldn't hear Zhu Xuntao's inner voice and Zhu Xuntao didn't have the ability to foretell,
she would still ask for Zhu Xuntao to marry her for her eldest son and hire Zhu Xuntao as the wife of the Xiao family.
No one is better than Zhu Xuntao.
For this, Jiang Yijing even ran to the side and took Madam Sheng's hand, repeatedly expressing her gratitude:
"No wonder people often say that an old man in the family is like a treasure, this is really true."
"Mom, when Dad is not around, you are the pillar of the mansion, you really have a keen eye."
"With just one pick, you picked the most suitable and best Taotao for Jingzhan."
"If it were up to me, I'm afraid Jingzhan and the Houfu would miss such a good girl like Taotao."
"If that's the case, I'm the sinner of the Houfu."
"I believe that the Houfu will get better and better in the hands of Jingzhan and Taotao in the future."
When Jiang Yijing said these words, she couldn't be more sincere.
When she thought about missing out on Xuntao, she picked a bad one after thousands of choices, and Jiang Yijing was terrified. If
you don't listen to the old man's advice, you will suffer the consequences.
This is not a lie.
Old Madam Sheng was confused by Jiang Yijing's enthusiasm for flattery.
After she heard what her eldest daughter-in-law said, she smiled and replied:
"Taotao is really good, isn't she?"
Having been a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for nearly 20 years, Old Madam Sheng could of course hear that the reason why her eldest daughter-in-law praised Zhu Xuntao so much today
was not because of the halo attached to Zhu Xuntao, but simply a kind of affirmation of Zhu Xuntao's existence itself.
"Good, very good, very good, it couldn't be better."
Jiang Yijing proudly recounted Zhu Xuntao's performance today:
"Mom, you didn't see that when Zhu Yingyan left, her nose was crooked with anger."
"On the contrary, Taotao smiled and watched people leave, and said she was waiting for Zhu Yingyan."
The difference between them is really not a little bit.
So, how blind must she have been before, to think that Zhu Yingyan was better than Zhu Xuntao.
Jiang Yijing almost thought that her eyes might just be a decoration, just for the sake of looking good on her face.
"Hahaha, you don't know, Taotao is definitely a smart and capable child..."
After laughing for a while, Madam Sheng couldn't laugh anymore,
"When Lord Zhu was still alive, he told me and the old man that Taotao was the smartest child he had ever seen."
"It's a pity that she is unlucky. She has such parents and she is not even a man."
"The word 'filial piety' is really a killer."
"Taotao didn't show off before, not because she didn't know how to do it, but because she couldn't. She had to find a way to protect herself." "
If she stands out a little bit, not only will Sun Shi not tolerate her, Lord Zhu will also be counting on his fingers, thinking about how to sell Taotao for a good price."
"Taotao can only keep a low profile. Although she will be bullied and suffer a little, it won't be a big deal."
"Who has such a kind of character and patience, look at all the children in our mansion?"
Old Madam Sheng liked Zhu Xuntao and felt sorry for her difficulties, so she always hoped that Xiao Jingzhan could marry Zhu Xuntao as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, Xiao Jingzhan said that she was too young and could wait.
Jiang Yijing was dissatisfied with Zhu Xuntao and followed her son's wishes.
"I know you blamed me before."
"But don't you think that Jing Zhan is my grandson."
"No matter how much I like Taotao, I can't sacrifice my grandson for Taotao."
"I decided this because I think Taotao is a really good child. She and Jing Zhan are worthy of being the mistress of my mansion."
"If I was only worried that Taotao would not live well in the Zhu family, I would only need to recognize Taotao as my goddaughter, and then use the power of the Marquis's Mansion to let the Zhu adults agree to let me choose Taotao's marriage, wouldn't that solve the problem?"
It would be easier for her to handle the matter that way, and she would not be blamed by her daughter-in-law. Killing two birds with
one stone.
Even so, she still insisted.
Just because Taotao is worth it!
No one understood her painstaking efforts before, but now, she can finally let it go.
"Mom!"
At this moment, Jiang Yijing really understood the persistence of Mrs. Sheng:
"Mom, your daughter-in-law has been in
charge for many years, but she is not as good as you. Mom, you have to keep an eye on your daughter-in-law in the future and don't let her make mistakes." Mrs. Sheng shook off Jiang Yijing's hand and pretended to be angry:
"I am already old, and you still want me, an old bone, to work for you?!"
"Black-hearted guy."
"Jing Zhan has married Taotao. If you have any problems, go find Taotao and don't bother me, an old guy."
Jiang Yijing was stunned for a moment, then reacted and smiled:
"Sure enough, my daughter-in-law is confused again."
"Taotao is so capable, I think the housekeeper's work will not be difficult for Taotao."
"Even if Taotao doesn't know how to do it..."
Thinking of Mrs. Sun's indifference to Zhu Xuntao, Jiang Yijing was afraid that the housekeeper's skills had not been taught to Zhu Xuntao, and she said:
"If Taotao doesn't know how to do it, then the daughter-in-law will teach Taotao."
"With Taotao's ability, she will definitely learn quickly."
"Then I can be idle like my mother."
"After the two children give birth to babies, the only thing I have to do as a grandmother is to help them take care of the children."
It feels wonderful just thinking about it.
"No!"
Madam Sheng refused again. She said righteously,
"When the elders were alive, they joked that they wanted to snatch the baby from me. Now even you are trying to snatch it from me?"
"I can tell you, I will take care of the baby born by Taotao."
"Our mansion has always been dominated by men and weak by women. In Yuanshan's generation, there was only one daughter, Yanru. Unfortunately, this daughter was disobedient and insisted on marrying the emperor."
"Obviously, the whole family is in the capital, but we can only see each other a few times a year."
"In Jingzhan's generation, fortunately there is still a granddaughter, Miluo. I don't know where she will marry in the future."
"If Taotao doesn't give birth to a girl, our mansion will be full of naughty boys."
When Madam Sheng thought of this possibility, she felt very upset.
