Time went by day by day, seeing that it would be spring in a while, and the girls were about to go to school after the entrance exam, Wen Jingshu specially invited a tailor to come to the door to tailor new clothes for the girls.

Hong Kong is located in the south, and most of the weather is hot throughout the year, so the materials used to make clothes are light and thin, and most of the fabrics such as cotton and linen are used. In winter, it is also warmer than the mainland, so you only need to use tweed and cotton to make clothes.

The clothing is lightweight, and even the people are pretty.

In addition, Hong Kong is influenced by Western culture and pursues fashion, and the ladies and ladies of the upper class are dressed up in a particularly fashionable fashion.

Wen Jingshu naturally didn't want the girls in the family to wear outdated jackets and skirts to the outside to lose her face, and she personally accompanied them with Mei Shan to choose the materials and styles of new clothes.

Wen Jianning sat next to them and listened to them talk to the tailor, and then realized that the cheongsam in their mouths had become a cheongsam when they arrived at the Hong Kong people.

Seeing Wan, he didn't like the name of cheongsam: "What men wear is called cheongsam, or is it called cheongsam." ”

Mei Shan shook her head and smiled: "Although the cheongsam is good-looking, it is not worn on every occasion. ”

Seeing that Wan likes cheongsam, it is a well-known thing for the whole family. It's just that because she is still young, she can't hold up clothes and can't wear them often.

However, whether it is a cheongsam or a cheongsam, if you want to wear it well, you must always tailor it.

The girls spread their arms, had their measurements measured, and began to choose their favorite styles and fabrics.

Except for a few fashions brought up by movie stars, most of the fashion here in Hong Kong came from Shanghai. Occasionally, the tailor will bring a few pictorial magazines when he comes to the door, so that customers can choose a favorite style on them.

Wen Jianning followed the rest of the people to pick out a few looks, and when the tailors were sent away, Feng Ling, who came to teach them, was finally late.

After this period of getting along, Feng Ling has gotten along well with these girls. During every break after class, she would sit on the sofa and chat with them. Although most of them were talking to Jianwan and Feng Ling, and Wen Jianning was listening, it was enough for a group of little girls to be happy for a long time.

Today, I saw Wan and Feng Ling arguing for a while as usual, and then asked awkwardly: "By the way, Sister Feng Ling, I have a question I want to ask you." ”

Feng Ling smiled and motioned for her to continue.

Jianwan asked embarrassedly: "It's that I can't always remember English words, and I can memorize them quickly, but I forget them every other day, and I will forget them again if I memorize them." Do you have any good ways to get people to memorize words quickly and not forget them?"

Wen Jianning couldn't help but nodded, she had known her for so long, and she had only seen Wan Shunyan once today. Because the question that Jianwan asked happened to be what she wanted to ask.

Feng Ling's answer was very brief: "There is no other way to do this, just memorize it repeatedly, and if you have many times, you will naturally remember it." ”

Wen Jianwan was disappointed and said, "Sister Feng Ling is also the same as Mr. Qi said. ”

Regarding the matter of learning English, Jianwan also thought about grinding foreign workers before, and if she could delay it for a day, she could learn as much as she could, but listening to her aunt Wen Jingshu's meaning, they must take the entrance exam in the spring, and if they don't stay at home for the exam at that time, wouldn't it be a big shame. Because the learning progress was not satisfactory, Wen Jianwan had asked Mr. Qi before, and the methods Mr. Qi said were similar to what Feng Ling said, they were all stupid methods of rote memorization, and they had no effect at all.

Feng Ling saw the disappointment of several villains, and said with a smile: "What, you are not satisfied?"

Seeing Wanwei: "I just think this method, how to say it, it's too simple." ”

And it's boring.

Feng Ling smiled: "Is it very simple, being able to do every simple thing well is not simple in itself." ”

A few little girls couldn't listen to what she said, and they were still hanging their heads.

Seeing that Wan was still not giving up, he asked, "Is there really no other way?"

Feng Linghui smiled: "Of course there is." ”

Jianwan hurriedly asked, "What is it, Sister Feng Ling, tell us quickly." ”

The rest also chimed in: "Yes, yes, sister, tell us quickly." ”

Feng Ling was entangled by a group of little girls, so she could only stretch out a finger seriously and point to her head: "When you have a smart brain and can never forget everything, English words will naturally be solved." ”

Seeing Wan, they immediately looked at her with admiration: "Sister Feng Ling, you are so powerful." ”

Feng Ling smiled and said, "What's the matter, I'm not very good." ”

Wen Jianning on the side hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his own question: "However, if Sister Feng Ling can really remember it, why do you still bring notes and books." ”

The atmosphere suddenly became a little stagnant.

Seeing that they realized that it was not right, yes, Wen Jianning was right, if Sister Feng Ling could really remember it, why did she bring her teaching notes and books.

Feng Ling didn't expect to be seen through by a little girl on the spot, so she shook her head helplessly and said, "You are not very old, but you are the same as my younger brother." ”

Seeing Wan, she glanced at Wen Jianning, turned her head and asked with a smile: "Sister Feng Ling, what is your brother like, how old is he." ”

During the days when Feng Ling taught them, she rarely mentioned her family's affairs. So this is the first time they have heard that Feng Ling also has a younger brother.

Feng Ling smiled: "She is about the same age, but her brain is very smart, but her temperament is not very likable." ”

didn't save her face at all.

Jianwan also laughed: "That should indeed be quite similar." ”

She was referring, of course, to the fact that her temperament was unpleasant.

Wen Jianning lowered his head, pursed the corners of his lips, and said nothing.

Feng Ling saw that she was silent, thinking that she was angry, and couldn't help but shake her head again: "The more I look at it, the more it looks like it, one is as serious as a little old man, and the other is as serious as a little old lady." Although she said that Wen Jianning was unpleasant, she raised her hand and touched her little head affectionately to appease, obviously she didn't really care about it.

Wen Jianning knew that she was not unhappy, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng Ling explained to a few little girls: "Of course, I can't remember so many words because I have a memorable memory. I also mastered it after a lot of memorization and repetition. It's just that I learned English relatively early, and I lived abroad with my father for a long time when I was a child, so the language environment for learning English is better than yours. ”

Feng Ling admitted it so readily, but it disappointed several little girls.

Seeing that Wan still couldn't forget what she never remembered, she asked half disappointed and half expectantly: "Sister Feng Ling, do you say that there are really people in the world who will never forget?"

Feng Ling retracted the smile on his face and replied seriously, "Yes." ”

Seeing that Wan immediately came to his senses, he asked, "Who is that person?"

Feng Ling hesitated for a moment, raised her hand and patted her little head, but said nothing.

This conversation was just a small episode after class, and no one paid attention to it, except Wen Jianning.

She thought that although the rote memorization method seemed stupid, Mr. Qi and Sister Feng Ling both said so, and there must be their reasons.

Wen Jianning decided to follow this stupid method.

She made a plan for herself to memorize ten English words every day and practice at least one big word. Because the class schedule is so tight at the moment, there is almost no free time. From Monday to Friday, she has to take classes at home, and there will be maids watching her in the evening to urge her to go to bed early, so she can only put her study time in the morning.

Because she was afraid of waking up the Jianwan in the next room, she would go straight to the corridor outside the garden every morning after washing up and memorize words. Because it's cold, I have to stomp my feet from time to time.

Her actions first aroused the minds of the maids in the villa.

At first, they passed by Wen Jianning in groups, just to take a look at the excitement.

Wen Jianning just didn't see them, closed his eyes and walked back and forth along the corridor with English books in his arms. Three or two days later, the maids finally lost interest in her, and when they saw her again, they did not even glance at her, and went about their work without squinting.

One morning, Mei Shan rarely got up early and asked people to open the curtains. Before she could look out into the distance, she saw a small figure walking back and forth in the corridor outside the garden downstairs.

Mei Shan yawned and asked, "Which girl is down there, and why do you keep walking around there?"

The maid on the side glanced at it and replied, "Fourth wife, that's Miss Jianning." ”

Another added: "It's Miss San who is memorizing English words." ”

Mei Shan put down her hand, looking a little stunned: "Where is she memorizing words? What time is it?"

The maids said crisply: "It's always been like this these days, maybe the exam time is approaching, and the third lady is afraid that she won't be able to pass the exam." The rest of the ladies also worked hard, but none of them were as good as the third miss. ”

Mei Shan stared thoughtfully at the villain walking back and forth on the corridor and occasionally stomping his feet for a while, and suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that it's a girl, if it's a boy, maybe you can really make a career in the future." ”

A girl said smartly: "It's a girl and there are benefits for girls, and the fat water doesn't flow into the fields of outsiders, isn't it?"

Hearing this witty remark, Mei Shan immediately laughed, raised her hand and hit her: "As far as you are concerned, I have spoiled you these days." If you turn back and let your wife hear, you will have to withhold your dowry. ”

The girl hurriedly jumped to the side and said with a smile: "The fourth wife is the best, but she is not the kind of person who will sue behind her back." ”

Mei Shan has only lived in Wen Jingshu's villa for a few months, although she is not a serious master, she is quite close to the maids. First, because Mei Shan always has a lazy smile, I don't know how much better than Wen Jingshu, who always has a cold face;

It's just that it's not enough to coax these little maids, the important thing is to coax these girls in the family.

If you can really coax them to bow their heads—

Mei Shan picked up the coffee cup painted with gold and white porcelain in her hand, and her eyes were fluttering.

It was not in vain that she tried to come to Hong Kong with her.

......

In the intense preparation of Wen Jianning and the others, the day of the entrance exam still came.

The night before, several of the children had stayed up late to study, and the maids could not persuade them, so they had to go with them. The next morning, everyone's spirits were not very good, Wen Jianning saw it with his own eyes, and even Jianwan, who had always been conceited, was a little dark now.

Wen Jingshu has already asked people to say hello to the school, and as long as they pass the Mandarin and English exams, they will soon be able to go to school to meet more peers. But if you can't pass it, you have to stay at home and study for another year. No one wanted to watch the rest of the sisters go to school, leaving them alone at home, and they all spent 12 minutes studying during this time.

Although Mei Shan repeatedly told them not to be nervous, when they really faced the test questions, Wen Jianning's palms were still sweaty. When she finished answering the question, a layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead, as tired as she was after two ballet lessons.

When I saw them again, my expression was a little sluggish.

It was rare for the girls to look at each other with concern, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to reward them for their hard work these days, in the next two days, Wen Jingshu gave them a holiday and took them shopping in person. Although Hong Kong is not as prosperous as Shanghai, it is enough for little girls to have fun.

On the third day, when the tailor brought the girls' new clothes, their exam results came out.
