Chapter 374 Asking Mother to Explain
When this sentence fell, Yu Tingwan could sense that many servants looked over in astonishment, looking at Yu Tingwan. Their eyes were more respectful than before.
In other mansions, the power of the head of the family is the greatest recognition of the daughter-in-law. But in the Shunguo Mansion, the daughter-in-law is qualified to be the head of the family, but she must be recognized by the mother-in-law before she can hold the key to the library.
This key was passed down from the first mistress of the Wei family, but not every generation of mistresses can get it.
Some skipped the daughter-in-law and gave it to the granddaughter-in-law.
Some skipped the eldest daughter-in-law and gave it to the second daughter-in-law.
There are also some who did not give it to the daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law. In disappointment, they temporarily gave it to the legitimate son, leaving three questions before their death. If any new
wife in the future can answer them, she can give it. Every mistress has different standards for giving keys.
Ning Suchan got the key because she had the qualifications, never made mistakes, and could take charge.
As for the young lady...
everyone didn't know what the mistress's criteria were.
The young lady hasn't even learned how to be a housekeeper!
But Ru Pozi beside Ning Suchan knows everything.
It's character.
Good and pure, but not confused. The heart is as clear as a mirror, pointing out the key points.
Acting carefully and not timidly, learning anything quickly.
The most important point.
Since she entered the door, the stagnant water of the Wei family, which had been immersed for many years, gradually became active. The thick green algae were eaten by fish bit by bit, revealing the clear water surface.
The water ripples lightly.
The green is like a tide, full of vitality.
Yu Tingwan gritted her teeth and said, "Okay."
Ning Suchan stood up and handed her a carved, simple and noble key: "Then stay here and study hard."
Yu Tingwan clenched it, feeling that the burden on her shoulders was much heavier, but she didn't panic. It
took her mother-in-law three years to get the key, but she got it in less than half a year.
Well!
Her excellence can't be hidden.
But...
She frowned: "Where are you going, mother-in-law?"
Yu Tingwan: "Aren't you going to keep it to teach me?"
"Such a large library is handed over to an unreliable person like me, at least you should panic a little!"
Yu Tingwan thought of something: "The last time my daughter-in-law saw the handle jade ruyi in your room, she liked it, when will you give it to her?"
Ning Suchan ignored her before.
Hearing this, she paused slightly.
"Yu!"
"Have you moved a few things from me?"
Every time she was shameless.
Touching the potted plants in her room.
——"Is this cut by mother-in-law herself? The craftsmanship is really good, and my daughter-in-law can't cut it, why not give it to me as a reward?"
Touching the lamp in her room.
——"Is this the gilded copper inlaid gemstone phoenix lamp? It's really beautiful, and I don't know how the pattern on it was carved. My daughter-in-law, take it back to study it?"
——"I just moved one back yesterday, and it seems that the lamp I replaced today will look better. Otherwise..."
She didn't say to change it back.
Instead, she struggled for a while.
She made up her mind.
——"Sorry, daughter-in-law, please move again?" She
took all of them.
Touching the bottles and jars in her room.
——"Mother-in-law's lip balm looks so good today, daughter-in-law..."
With Guizhi's preciousness, how could Yu Shi lack them?
The golden recliner has been made!
Even if Guizhi doesn't give it to her, as long as she spreads the word, the Gu family will eagerly deliver it in less than half an incense stick!
These days, Princess Jiashan's carriage always stops at the door for a while. But Ning Suchan pretended not to know and ignored it when she didn't come to the door.
So! Yu Shi is just looking for trouble!!!
She came to get scolded!
But Ning Suchan also knew that her emotions were being pried open by her bit by bit.
From the cold and hard at the beginning.
——"You are so presumptuous and have no rules. Who told you to move! Don't admit your mistake!"
To the later scolding.
——"It's just a worthless little thing, is it worth you being so shameless? Your vision is still too narrow."
Then she lost her temper.
——"Take it if you want, or you'll turn around and say that I, as your mother-in-law, treated you unfairly."
In the end, she could no longer bear it, and she was so angry that she scolded like a normal person.
——"You want this and that, Yu! You are here to buy goods!"
At this time, Yu Tingwan was not afraid, and said fiercely: "I think..."
She was very sincere: "You can have more."
Ning Suchan:...
"Which daughter-in-law is like you..."
Yu Tingwan added softly outside: "You want both."
Ru Pozi's shoulders trembled and she held back her laughter.
Ning Suchan:...
She was too lazy to argue with her: "If there is any mistake in the book, you are the only one to blame!"
Yu Tingwan said respectfully: "Yes."
The next moment.
"What about me."
"If the daughter-in-law is tired..."
Ning Suchan:...
Can you be tired?
Who is as energetic as you.
Ning Suchan stroked the jade ring on her fingertips, stopped listening to her nonsense, and walked away. Ru Pozi
then smiled and stepped forward: "This old servant will stay to guide the young lady."
She held a thick book in her hand.
Unfolding it, there was no end in sight.
"These are all the books in the library."
"Don't panic. In recent years, the madam has asked the people below to make yunxiang, which is very effective in preventing moisture and moth. She also used some other methods. I took a quick look yesterday and found that the books were well preserved."
"However, I specially brought a rotten book to teach you how to deal with it."
Yu Tingwan looked over and saw that the pages were as hard as bricks.
Really, there is no such thing as a mother-in-law in this family. It must be broken up.
Ning Suchan returned to the main courtyard and continued to copy Buddhist scriptures. She
didn't need anyone to serve her. She liked quietness and was patient. When her hands were sore from writing, she would stop and rest for a while, and then continue to write.
Time passed.
The sky gradually darkened, and the light of dusk sprinkled on the bluestone slabs, sparkling like broken gold.
The wind blew a corner of the rice paper in Ning Suchan's arms.
She had walked the road to the ancestral hall too many times.
The ancestral hall was solemn and quiet, witnessing the decline and prosperity of the Shunguogong Mansion. Portraits of ancestors from all generations were hung on the walls. There were fresh snacks and fruits on the incense table.
As soon as she entered, she saw Wei Zhao kneeling in front of Wei Fengxing's tablet.
Incense was rising from the incense burner.
She didn't know when he came.
Wei Zhao: "Mother is here."
Ning Suchan frowned.
The place was cold and Guizhi was not in good health.
However.
She put down the Buddhist scriptures, lit incense, frowned and said coldly: "It is disrespectful for Guifu to come to pay homage to the ancestors only now! It is unfilial not to come to burn incense for your father and tell him that you have returned safely."
She didn't look at Wei Zhao again.
"If you don't know, you would think that there is hot liquid boiling under the ground of the ancestral hall and it burned you."
"In this matter, you have disappointed your mother. When you feel better, go and accept the punishment yourself."
In the past, Wei Zhao would not dare to say anything except to apologize.
But now.
"My son did think that he would never dare to set foot here in this life."
Wei Zhao kowtowed to the tablet and stood up.
Even Ning Suchan was shocked.
"Your body..."
Wei Zhao: "A year ago, my son was stationed at the border and came back once."
He closed his eyes.
"On your birthday."
Ning Suchan thought of something and looked at him suddenly.
"But..."
His voice was hoarse and he couldn't say it.
Finally, he bowed deeply to her: "My son is offended, please mother to solve the problem."
