Chapter 501 We are both parents, so why are they so different?
How could Gu Qingling not notice Yao Anxin's concerns?
She had already predicted this when she intervened in training her grandchildren.
But she didn't expect that the first person to notice this was not Yao Anling, who was still young and smart, but Yao Anxin, who usually seemed a bit weak-tempered.
Gu Qingling knew that Yao Anxin had a sensitive personality, but she didn't expect that she would be so sensitive that she would even notice such a thing.
well……
Gu Qingling sighed in her heart again.
So what if you notice it?
She is unable to change the world, nor can she create a better world for Yao Anxin. The only thing she can do is to teach Yao Anxin how to be "self-sufficient".
Don't be overly greedy, with the mentality of "I'm lucky if you get it, but you're life if you lose it", pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and leisurely see the Nanshan Mountain.
"Please be safe, old lady!"
Mrs. Yao bowed respectfully to Gu Qingling, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then revealed her intention.
As soon as Gu Qingling heard that it was related to Yao Anxin, she knew what was going on and asked the people waiting in the house to go down. The eldest maid Chun Chun was guarding the door.
"Okay, let's talk."
"Old lady, my daughter-in-law must first make it clear that her daughter-in-law is here to see you and she has no objection to you at all. She is just worried about Sister Xin, so that's why she made such a trip." Mrs. Yao said, "
My daughter-in-law also believes that Sister Xinxiang grew up under the eyes of the old lady, and she was trained by you, the old lady. She also loves her endlessly, and everything she does is for her good."
"Yeah." Gu Qingling waited patiently.
"only……"
As soon as Mrs. Yao turned around, Gu Qingling knew that the topic had finally come.
Mrs. Yao raised her head and looked into Gu Qingling's eyes, with a sincere look on her face: "The old lady seems... not happy that I took Sister Xin to Beijing to get married. The old lady doesn't want Sister Xin to leave your side.
It's right to want her to stay with you for a few more years. It's just that Old Madam, Sister Xin is already old. She is already sixteen this year, which is too old for Beijing. A girl as old as she is,
We have promised to get married a long time ago and are waiting to get married."
Gu Qingling finally understood. Mrs. Yao thought she was nosy, so she kept Yao Anxin for a few more years, dragging Yao Anxin to an age that would make it hard for Beijing to see her.
Mrs. Yao meant that if Yao Anxin would have been admitted with her when she came to Beijing a few years ago, there would be many outstanding young people of the same age in Beijing.
But it is only a few years late, and those who are good have been picked long ago, and the rest are just some "crooked melons and cracked dates". Even if you want to pick, you can't pick a few good ones.
Mrs. Yao has distanced herself from herself - it's not that she is blind. She picked some "crooked melons and cracked dates" when she came back. In fact, the good ones were picked out by others, and she couldn't pick up the good ones.
She wanted to blame the problem of Yao Anxin's inability to marry or her poor marriage on Gu Qingling.
Marrying well is the result of Mrs. Yao's carefulness, but marrying poorly is Gu Qingling's fault.
Gu Qingling almost stopped laughing after hearing this.
Why shouldn't the original owner dislike this eldest daughter-in-law? Even after so many years, she couldn't help but feel a little bit displeased.
At first, she was soft and weak, as if she was the holy one in the world; then, her eyes were full of wealth, for fear that Yao Anxin would not be able to catch up if she was too slow.
It is said that it is for Yao Anxin's happiness, but in the final analysis, is it not to pave the way for her husband and two sons?
Is this how families in aristocratic families teach their daughters these days?
If a daughter doesn’t have anything of her own, she is just a tool for power and status?
On the contrary, Gu Qingling prefers Mrs. Yao Er, who is full of selfishness, ambition, and also likes to use tricks.
At least, they use their methods to deal with outsiders. They only want to steal things from their own homes, but they also know how to protect their own children.
Gu Qingling looked at all the children in the courtyard, and only those in the second room were the luckiest ones.
Second Master Yao is a little careless, but he can listen to opinions and has no ambitions. He is a good man who lives a "small life". Second Mrs. Yao has a lot of ambitions, but she is doing everything for her own man and children, and she can't live without them.
Open the one-third of an acre of land in front of you.
The eldest son, Uncle Yao, has ambitions, but his heart is outside. Such men often have a leading weakness, and that is - neglecting the inner courtyard.
Therefore, Mrs. Yao controlled everything in the inner courtyard of the big house, and her preferences and attitudes affected the entire backyard.
It's not that she doesn't love Yao Anxin, she is just influenced by this era and naturally believes that "marrying a daughter from a high family" is right, and her daughter's marriage should be used to consolidate the power of the family.
As for Sanfang, Mr. Yao San is a conservative king and can't do big things, but if you give him a three-quarter acre of land, he can do things well. But his methods are not very clever, so he can't suppress Mrs. Yao San.
Mrs. Yao San is a bit like Mrs. Yao. She likes to use her weakness to control others, and she cries at every turn. She also has the look of "the whole world feels sorry for her".
However, compared to Mrs. Yao, she is not that smart and is "stupid", so the things she does sometimes make people feel ridiculous, irritating, and helpless.
To put it bluntly, Mrs. Yao San was even more careless than Mrs. Yao. Gu Qingling didn't even dare to use Mrs. Yao San, so she could only think of ways to suppress it to prevent Mrs. Yao San from making mistakes behind her back.
When she came back to her senses, Mrs. Yao had almost finished speaking. She looked at Gu Qingling eagerly, wanting her opinion.
Gu Qingling was a little helpless. They both said they were doing it for Yao Anxin's good, so why couldn't she interfere in Yao Anxin's marriage?
"Okay, I understand what you said. Do you think I harmed Sister Xin by interfering..."
"Old lady, it's not my daughter-in-law's intention..."
Gu Qingling raised her hand and interrupted Mrs. Yao: "Listen to me first. Regardless of whether I hindered you intentionally or not, my involvement in Sister Xin's affairs has definitely hindered you and made it seem inappropriate for you to do things.
It went so smoothly. When you were in the capital, whether it was Baixiang Pavilion, Dalang's backyard, or my two grandsons, you took care of everything with one hand and managed it smoothly. No one could find any problems at all, so here we are.
Sister Xin, you are confident that you can handle it yourself, right?"
"My daughter-in-law thinks this is what a wife and daughter-in-law should do." Mrs. Yao answered very cautiously.
Even though the old lady had changed her attitude towards Da Fang, Mrs. Yao still couldn't get close to Gu Qingling, but she felt a little in awe.
I was always careful around Gu Qingling.
Gu Qingling pretended not to see it and continued: "I picked out the faults in the list you picked out. I have lost face to Sister Xin and you are not happy."
"Old lady, how could my daughter-in-law be unhappy about something like this? After all, we are both doing it for Sister Xin's good."
"We are indeed all doing this for Sister Xin's good, but if the thing I asked you to do does not go smoothly, it is normal for you to be unhappy. But have you ever thought that the list you picked also made me unhappy?
"
Mrs. Yao's heart trembled: "My daughter-in-law was deceived by others, and the list she chose made such a big mistake. It is right to make the old lady unhappy. Next time, my daughter-in-law should be cautious, make thousands of choices, and confirm everything. It's just that
Generally speaking, in a house that respects rules, the rules in the inner courtyard are very strict, so it is not easy to find out anything."
It's not that she doesn't want to find out. People have strict rules and can't find out. This can't be blamed on her, right?
What's more, as a mother, how could she harm her own child?
