Wang Xifeng made a big fuss in the Ningguo Mansion and made this comment on YouShi, the grandmother of The Eastern Province: You have no talent, you have no mouth, and if you saw the gourd in your mouth, you will only blindly be careful of Tu Xianliang's name, and they are always not afraid of you and do not listen to you.
According to Wang Xifeng, You Shi is neither talented nor verbal, and is a saw-off gourd, is this evaluation pertinent, or does it have obvious personal bias? Or is it that Wang Xifeng doesn't know You shi at all?
Judging from the text alone, You Shi is indeed not as pungent and capable as Wang Xifeng, shrewd and clever, not very conspicuous, and does not do anything quietly, plus Jia Zhen's father and son are in collusion in Ning Province, it is even more inconspicuous of You Shi, it seems that she is a very silent person.
However, being reticent does not mean that she has no talent and no mouth, Cao Gong once used the word "widowhood" to describe Baochao, who can say that she has no talent and no mouth? In fact, Youshi is a really smart person, who knows what to say and what not to say, what to do and what not to do.
To say that You Shi has no talent, why did Jia Mu give her full authority to handle Wang Xifeng's birthday? It can be said that since Qin Keqing's death, the young daughter-in-law who can really stand alone in the entire Jia Province, in addition to Wang Xifeng, still has to be her Youshi.
You see Sister Feng's birthday, you do a lot of decent things, not only completely meet the requirements of Jia Mu, in line with Sister Feng's wishes, even the next people are also impressed by You's family, because she did a very authentic thing, returned some people to make up the silver.
For example, Mandarin Duck's, Ping'er's, Aunt Zhao's and Aunt Zhou's, the two aunts did not dare to pick up at first, they were afraid that Wang Xifeng would settle the account after autumn, but You Shi gave them a reassuring pill, even if Feng Yatou knew that there was her.
Withdrawing these people's parts is not that You Shi bought a good gift for Feng Jie's birthday, but she really pitied the difficulty of their lives, two or two silver is nothing to Wang Xifeng, but for them, it is a lot of income, which is dependent on food and clothing.
Even if he retired from a few people's duties, You Shi still made FengJie's birthday very lively, not only there were plays, but even men and women who played hundreds of plays and told books. Li Yanzhai commented on Youshi in this way: And the innuendo can not do anything alone Fengjie. It can be seen that Youshi is also a talented person.
Organizing Fengjie's birthday not only reflects You's talent, but in the process of dealing with Wang Xifeng and everyone, we also see You's mouth as a housekeeper's grandmother. If you can fight with Wang Xifeng for dozens of rounds and still not fall behind, it is estimated that there is only Youshi in Manjia Province.
And the most able to reflect you's talent is the "death of Jin Dan Du Yan Li funeral" once, Ning Fu's descendant Jia Jing died because of his rush to soar, accidentally swallowed Dan sand and burned and died, and at this time, Jia Fu, because of the loss of the old lady in the palace, did not return, leaving only You Shi to guard the family.
When Jia Jing died, it was a hot day, and she couldn't wait for everyone to come back, and it needed to be dealt with urgently, that is, at this time, You Shi showed her talents, and after learning of her father-in-law's death, she did not mess with herself, let alone only care about grief, but quickly sorted out her thoughts and arranged things properly and in an orderly manner.
This one thing alone is enough to justify Feng Jie's evaluation of her lack of talent. Sister Feng's evaluation of Youshi is obviously superficial, she does not understand Youshi, or she is her own scenery, overshadowing everyone, but she does not know that more often, what life needs is not power and glory, but wisdom and low-key.
For YouShi, there was Wang Xifeng in the Rongguo Mansion, and it was not her turn to intervene to show her talents, even if she was snubbed by the mother-in-law who went to the night in the Grand View Garden, she did not really want to question people, because she knew that if she could not commit it, there was no need for that.
Many people will say that You's so talented, why is Ning Guo Mansion still a miasma of black smoke, this is very simple, it is all made by her husband Jia Zhen, of course, this is also a short board of You's family, can not persuade the husband to rule the family, but this in the ancient times when women want three from four virtues, why not all women's helplessness?
Wang Xifeng was so talented, even if he managed the Rong Mansion in an orderly manner, was he still unable to control his husband? The difference is that Wang Xifeng has a background in her mother's family, loves her ancestors, and makes trouble if she does not go well, while You Shi chooses to be patient, or to be indifferent.
She probably thinks that since my continued string does not count, and my stepmother does not listen to it, then just seek self-protection. Be dirty and let it be dirty, just make sure you have a clean place. Although this is You's mingzhe self-preservation act as a wife and stepmother, why is it not her survival wisdom?
Speaking of eloquence, if Sister Feng's birthday is without her, she will lose a lot of color. About the entire Jia Mansion, only You Shi dared to ridicule Wang Xifeng sarcastically, saying that she was "Ah Wu'er" and reminding her that "it is good to put some away, and it will be spilled when it is too full." What he said not only frustrated Feng Jie's vigor, but also made people think deeply.
Sister Feng was greedy for the parts that li had done, and the clever YouShi not only found out, but also confronted Sister Feng, saying that she had got money to take to the coffin. The person who can scare Feng Jie to the corner in this way is estimated that there is no second person in Jia Fu except for You's family. Li Yanzhai said that she could do things.
Youshi, who dares to argue with Wang Xifeng and does not fall behind in the slightest, can you say that she has no mouth? Even if she accompanies Jia Mu on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Sister Feng is not there, and You Shi will laugh and tease, but Jia Mu Su Xi Feng Sister, she does not seem to find more benefits of You Shi.
You Shi is not obvious in Jia Province, but there is no right or wrong in Ning Province, not because she is clumsy, just because she has talent and eloquence, but she chooses to do things in a low-key manner, is a really wise housekeeper grandmother, many times, she is more able to do things than Wang Xifeng.
