When Dr. Yang went out, everyone looked at the eldest lady. They did not expect that not only was she good at writing, but she could also make medicinal meals.
Suddenly, the cold wind blew outside the house and broke the branches, but inside the house it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and everyone was trembling with fear.
Compared with the eldest lady, they seemed to be clowns.
An Xilin was even more angry. She originally wanted to take this opportunity to suppress her, but instead she made a wedding dress for her, which endeared her to the old lady. Only today did An Xilin really know that the usually silent and obedient person Her big sister no longer exists.
At this time, the old lady changed her expression and said calmly: "Mother Liu, go to the ancestral hall to get the Heart Sutra, Diamond Sutra, Infinite Life Sutra, Huayan Sutra... all and distribute them to everyone. Miss, since they all want to honor their grandmother, each of them should copy it separately and enshrine it in the family ancestral hall during the Chinese New Year. Then go to the temple and ask the master to recite it for seven or forty-nine days before burning it."
Mother Liu was shocked, and immediately opened her mouth. She took all these, not just a few hundred, but also more than a hundred varieties. Although Lord An himself did not believe in this temple these years, in order to please the old lady, he also searched for temples all over the world. There are some ancient books, some of which even the old lady herself didn’t bother to read.
The other ladies had never seen it, but An Xilin had certainly seen it. Suddenly, her jaw dropped. It would take her several days to copy a copy of the Heart Sutra, and the Chinese New Year was about to begin. Even if you ask the maid in the yard to copy it together, you can't finish it. The old lady is angry.
Besides, she had to go to the dance studio to learn dancing and practice piano every day. How could she find time? An Xilin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot but she didn't dare to say a word. She felt that she had been tricked by An Xiyue again. generally.
Immediately, after hearing what the old lady said, several ladies looked at each other one after another, and all turned their eyes towards the talkative An Xixuan. Who wants to copy that boring scripture? It would be more uncomfortable than punishing them to shut up and think about their mistakes.
An Xixuan was also shocked. Seeing the resentful looks cast at her by the sisters, she trembled with fear. It was all the fault of An Xilin, the one who caused the trouble. If she hadn't been fond of copying scriptures all day long, how could her grandmother have thought of this method to punish them.
Mother Liu was a little unsure and said, "Does the old lady take them all?"
"I am deaf and deaf, and my eyes are dim. Why are you too old to be useful?" The old lady got angry at Liu's mother. This was something she had never done before. Although they were masters and servants, they were more like sisters.
Even the arrogant and domineering Second Madam usually gives Mother Liu some face.
Immediately, everyone no longer dared to raise their heads and speak, waiting for the old lady to scold them.
But Mother Liu was so frightened that she hurriedly went there herself, fearing that her servants would not be able to find where the old lady's scriptures were hidden.
Only Mother Liu knew that the old lady was angry and angry with all the children. The old lady was sick and none of her sons came to say hello. Yesterday, only the eldest young master came in a hurry to say hello and then left. At that time, the old lady was still I reminded you to go to the eldest lady's room more often, so as not to chill the eldest lady's heart. I don't know if the eldest young master listened to it.
After a moment, Liu's mother was followed by four or five maids carrying scriptures and walking in. The small table where the food was originally placed was also cleared.
I saw the stacks of scriptures neatly placed on the small table, counting them from bottom to top in a dazzling way. Some were still new, had not been read, and some were even as thick as bricks.
Even the usually gentle third lady was shocked. Her two daughters might not be able to finish writing if their handwriting breaks.
The second lady looked at it and said angrily: "In a few days, it will be the day to attend the banquet at the Duke Protector's Mansion. The princess has posted a message. If the young ladies from the Marquis' Mansion don't go and copy scriptures at home, I'm afraid they will suffer. When outsiders criticize us, they think our An Mansion has become a temple and a Buddhist temple. Since Miss Lin likes to copy, let her copy it alone."
The old lady looked down on the second wife's daughter-in-law. Even though she came from a wealthy family, she was raised in a small family. She was not as dignified and quiet as the first daughter-in-law at all, and she ignored the second wife's complaints.
The old lady glared at the second lady fiercely. No wonder her worthless son was henpecked. The next day she would choose some beautiful girls to come to her room to see how she behaved.
Then he said in a deep voice: "Second daughter-in-law reminded me of this at the last moment. Mother Liu took out the box from my room."
Mother Liu went as she was told. She knew very well what was in the box. They were all good items given by the royal family when the old lady was consecrated. The old lady didn't like those extravagant jewelry, so she put them away. .
Then, the old lady opened the jewelry box herself, revealing the dazzling, exquisite and extraordinary jewelry. She called An Xiyue to get closer and said softly and amiably: "You pick out ten or eight kinds, and go to the Duke Protector's Mansion to ask for them." You have lost the face of my Anping Marquis Mansion."
An Xiyue's mouth opened wide. These were the old lady's private collections and were not stored in the warehouse. None of them were noble and exquisite. In her past life, she didn't even think about them.
An Xiyue refused and said: "My granddaughter will not be rewarded for her merits. Mother has some decent jewelry. My granddaughter will definitely not lose the face of her father and grandmother."
Suddenly, everyone opened their mouths and pouted in disbelief. The old lady was too partial, why did she only give it to the eldest lady? This one is worth thousands of gold, not to mention how much eight out of ten are worth.
The second lady looked at her with hatred in her eyes. She tugged on the brocade handkerchief with her fingers and said calmly: "Old lady, you can't be so biased. I let the big house take all the benefits."
The old lady sneered, glared at the second lady, but said coldly to the ladies: "You sisters, each come and choose one piece, and let the eldest lady pick your choice."
The more the second lady quarrels with the old lady, the more the old lady tries to hold her breath in. An Xiyue sees that the second uncle's brain is not as good as the third uncle's, and she is afraid that she won't get even one thing if she talks back.
The second lady's mind suddenly seemed to be enlightened, and she stopped talking. She just held her breath and closed her mouth quietly.
The old lady intimidated everyone, and when she saw the effect, she said: "My eldest daughter-in-law, find a tailor to make a few more sets of clothes for you ladies. Don't really think that our Anhou is a temple."
The old lady glanced at An Xilin and saw that she was dressed differently from everyone else. She secretly wondered which young woman didn't like flowers blooming, and said coldly: "Girl Lin, make more clothes. Don't dress like the same girl all day long." She acts like a sister-in-law, and those who don’t know better think that the eldest lady is being mean to a concubine.”
"My daughter-in-law knows that she will go to the Duke Protector's Mansion for a banquet in only five days. The princess is also interested. I heard that she will wait for the plum blossoms in the garden to bloom and then go to various mansions to invite them. The daughter-in-law first asks a tailor to give everyone a banquet. The ladies will choose the best ones to make, and each of them will make two outfits first, and then slowly make the rest, together with the New Year’s clothes.”
The eldest lady made the plan respectfully and politely, which made the old lady secretly nod her head and praise her, saying: "This is very good, eldest lady, you can arrange it yourself. The money will be paid out of the account of the Marquis Mansion, and the eldest lady will not copy the scriptures. She will be punished to come every day." Give me a squeeze on my back and recuperate my body. I'm actually a little scared to death as I get older. Come back, I'm tired too."
The second lady and the third lady listened with joy on their faces. Although they were implicated in copying scriptures, the old lady did not specify that the ladies should copy the scriptures themselves. Listening to this, her own daughter could also go, but it was cheaper to have a big room. Nowadays, they don’t need to take money from their own house to make clothes or jewelry, they all pay from the big house, so they are naturally happy.
Nowadays, no one can think about how to copy the scriptures or how much jewelry they have. They all go home to dress up their daughters.
Only An Xilin knew the pain of copying scriptures, and she secretly clenched her fists, and everything became different. Although grandma apparently asked her to make a few more sets of clothes, in fact she was trying to make people think she was different from others, which would probably make her sisters dissatisfied with her.
