Destroy the scumbag husband, beat the bitch, the reborn legitimate daughter overturns the entire cap
Chapter 6 teaches you how to bow!
"Elder sister is absolutely right! I am destined for great things in the future, so I must not neglect etiquette and manners." Mu Qingyuan said, then got off the bed. A maidservant had already come forward to help him put on his shoes and socks. Then he went to Li Shi and bowed, saying, "Your son greets Mother!"
Li was still a little confused. In the past, if she spoke a little harshly, this illegitimate son would throw a tantrum in front of the old lady. What was wrong with him today? How could Ah Nuan's few words have changed his mind?
When the old lady saw how sensible her beloved grandson was, she didn't say anything. After all, it was perfectly normal for a son born out of wedlock to pay his respects to his mother! But when she glanced at Aunt Song, her face was as white as paper!
Although the old lady felt reluctant, she couldn't let people say that her grandson didn't know proper etiquette and didn't know how to greet his stepmother! So she turned her head away, pretending not to see Aunt Song's unpleasant expression.
Unexpectedly, after Mu Qingyuan finished his greetings, he went to Mu Xinnuan's side and bowed deeply in a proper manner, saying, "Greetings to elder sister."
Mu Qingyuan's actions also angered Mu Xinyao. Why should her younger brother bow to that woman's child? And Aunt Song's face became even more unpleasant!
Mu Xin Nuan smiled, her eyes slightly narrowed, radiating warmth. "Little brother, this bow is a traditional etiquette in our dynasty. It involves clasping your hands together and bowing high, with your body slightly bent, to show respect. A Yuan's movements are excellent, but there's one mistake. Would you like me to teach you?"
Upon hearing this, the old lady paused in her act of pretending to drink tea, then gently moved the teacup aside and looked at Mu Xinnuan with a serious expression. This girl had never been very close to Mu Qingyuan, so why was she acting so strangely today?
Mu Qingyuan blinked, then said somewhat blankly, "Please enlighten me, elder sister."
Mu Xin Nuan nodded slightly, indicating her satisfaction with his attitude. "The gesture of bowing has different uses depending on the occasion. A clenched fist with the left hand covering it is called an auspicious bow, often used for festive occasions such as the New Year. Conversely, an open fist is called an inauspicious bow, generally used for funerals. The gesture for women is the opposite of that for men; a clenched fist with the left hand covering it is an auspicious bow. Does A Yuan remember that?"
Aunt Song's face darkened even further. She had been so busy being angry that she hadn't realized Mu Qingyuan's gesture was wrong! Now that Mu Xinnuan had caught her red-handed, things were unlikely to end well!
The old lady's eyes darkened, and a sharp glint flashed in them, which she then fixed on Li Shi.
Madam Li sat upright in her chair and naturally sensed it. However, she thought her daughter had done very well. Her six-year-old son didn't even understand the most basic manners, which was simply laughable!
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyuan's face flushed slightly, feeling somewhat ashamed. He glanced at Mu Xinnuan and saw her smiling warmly at him. He felt relieved. This older sister had never liked to be close to him. He often saw his brother playing with her, even reciting lessons together. At that time, he thought how wonderful it would be if she were his older sister.
It's no wonder Mu Qingyuan had such thoughts. Mu Xinnuan was beautiful, inheriting the beauty of Li Shi. At such a young age, she already showed signs of blossoming beauty. In addition, she was well-mannered from a young age, and her speech and actions were very different from Mu Xinyao's. She always gave people a warm feeling, making people unable to resist getting close to her. Mu Qingyuan saw her every day and wanted to get closer to her even more.
Seeing Mu Xin Nuan speak to him so kindly today, Mu Qingyuan felt like he was dreaming! If it weren't for the presence of so many people, he probably would have jumped up long ago!
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive. Even Li Shi felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, but Mu Xin Nuan still had a faint smile on her face, gentle and soft.
Mu Qingyuan blushed, then suddenly looked up at Li Shi, and then bowed to her again, saying, "Your son greets Mother."
After a slight pause, Madam Li forced a smile and said, "Good child, no need for formalities. You're still young. You can learn these rules properly later."
"Yes, thank you, Mother."
After Mu Qingyuan finished speaking, he looked at Mu Xinnuan, raised his head and said with a flattering expression, "Big sister, did Ayuan do the right thing this time?"
Mu Xin Nuan reached out her right hand and gently touched his head, smiling, "A Yuan is indeed clever. You remembered it after I only said it once. I'm very happy."
"Really? Is A-Yuan really that smart?" The tone in this sentence revealed a hint of excitement and joy.
Mu Xin Nuan nodded to him, then looked at the old lady on the couch and said, "Grandmother, although our Mu family is not a wealthy or noble family, we are still a scholarly family. Father is now serving as the Vice Minister of Works. How can the sons of our Mu family bring shame to Father and the family?"
Seeing that she not only had no ill intentions towards Mu Qingyuan, but even clearly showed affection for him, the old lady was immediately relieved.
“Anuan is right! It’s all my fault for being so negligent. I’ll talk to the master again and ask him to find a tutor for Ayuan as soon as possible.”
Aunt Song was surprised by the turn of events. Even Mu Xinyao was stunned and couldn't understand why things were so strange today. Mu Xinnuan had never liked being close to her younger brother, so why was she acting so unusually today?
Although Li was displeased, she didn't say anything, but just smiled in agreement.
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head and said, "Grandmother, this is not appropriate! A Yuan is still living in the inner courtyard. How can we invite a tutor to begin his studies?"
Upon hearing this, the old lady thought that her grandson was already six years old. By the time he was seven, he should be able to go to the front yard and have his own courtyard. Moreover, Mu Qingxuan was taken away when he was only five! But he was outside? And he was born out of wedlock? Thinking of her son's attitude towards Mu Qingyuan, the old lady hesitated again.
A dark glint flashed in Mu Xin Nuan's eyes. Today, she was determined to get the old lady to give the order to send Mu Qing Yuan to the front yard. Don't think she was genuinely doing it for Mu Qing Yuan's own good! She just didn't want Aunt Song and Mu Xin Yao to lead Mu Qing Yuan astray! If he was to go astray, he would have to go in her direction!
"Miss's idea is indeed thoughtful, but A-Yuan is still too young. If we move him to the front yard, I'm afraid the servants won't be able to take good care of him." How could Aunt Song bear to take her precious son to the outer yard at such a young age? Although she was also counting on him to succeed, he was only six years old. Which family's son didn't leave the inner quarters until he was seven?
Mu Xin Nuan smiled gently, "What are you saying, Aunt Song? Could it be that Father would mistreat A Yuan? Even a son born out of wedlock is still a son. Besides, in A Nuan's opinion, A Yuan is already very good, and he will surely be valued by Father. A Yuan, don't you think so?"
