The eldest lady is indeed a person who cultivates her mind and character. Even if she disagrees with He'er's behavior, she can suppress her emotions in an instant and try to calmly guide her in the normal direction.
"He'er, how can a girl eat with her hands?" She would soon be twelve years old and no longer considered a child.
"When I eat pastries, I also grab them with my hands." There was a trace of confusion in his confused eyes.
"Good boy, you have to use chopsticks to pick up the food. Haven't He'er learned to use chopsticks yet?" His tone sounded like he was terrible at not knowing how to use chopsticks.[
How can you make people feel bad?
The normal reaction of a child is——
"How is that possible? Of course I can use chopsticks!" The small chin showed dissatisfaction and didn't want to be looked down upon.
"Here, let's take a look." She smiled gently, without any hint of malice.
"I, I, I..." The little guy looked at Qing'er pitifully, as if asking for help, "Qing'er, can I eat with chopsticks when I'm full?"
"..."
Speechless, let me ask, when a person is full, do he still need to use chopsticks?
After a long while, the eldest lady's face still didn't look angry. If He'er dared to use her hands, Qing'er must be conniving at it. It was clear from the fact that the little girl immediately asked for help from him.
"Qing'er, does Fourth Miss usually eat like this?"
"That's right." Qing'er didn't deny it.
"You haven't corrected it?"
"The lady likes it."
"Can you be so indulgent if you like it?"
The eldest lady still spoke in a calm manner, neither sullen nor angry. But every question she asked made Qing'er feel guilty. He also admitted that this kind of indulgence was not good. Not to mention how ugly this way of eating was, it was just eating with your hands.
Not very clean.
The eldest lady continued, "It's okay for a child to be ignorant. But He'er is almost twelve years old and she still eats like this. Don't you think there's anything wrong with it? Does she want to eat like this all her life? How will she get married in the future?"
Putting it this way, it also shows that the eldest lady believes that He'er will definitely lose the election if he enters the palace.
What she said is not completely unreasonable. A fool who has neither a standing posture nor a sitting posture will be eliminated in the second round if he is lucky enough to pass the first round.
