Chapter Seventy-One: Apprenticeship
As an excellent gentleman, I don't know how many farms there are in my family, I don't know the seven aunts and eight aunts, and I even forgot what my father's surname is, but I must know which store sells the most exquisite jewelry, which shop has the best rouge, and which silk village has the brightest cloth.
Therefore, Li Jiazhi completed the task assigned by Situ Ningbing excellently, but he prepared everything in one day.
"How is my sister-in-law, can these things I prepare still get into your eyes?" Li Jia said modestly, but his face clearly said, "Praise me!"
In front of Situ Ningbing, there were three little maids standing neatly, each holding a rectangular tray in their hands, each holding jewelry, silk, and rouge. If you look closely, there are three pieces of jewelry, four pieces of silk, five boxes of rouge, and really three or five pieces!
The jewelry and silk Situ Ningbing only glanced at it roughly, and it was just like that, but the rouge gouache looked at it very carefully.
Situ Ningbing opened a delicate and small rouge box and dipped some spring onion index finger on the back of his hand and tried it, "This rouge is lighter in color, and the fragrance is not so strong, but there is a faint aroma of herbs, which is pleasing to the eye, compared to those sold on the market, it is more than a star and a half." In the end, he praised Li Jia and said: "It's just the side of it, it's hard for you to find such goods in just one day, there are indeed some doorways." ”
Li Jiazhi listened to this compliment, and was about to brag about himself with a cheeky and humble expression, but Situ Ningbing didn't give him a chance, put down the rouge box and said, "Take these and follow me." With that, he lifted his feet and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Li Jia scolded the second monk at a loss, but he didn't think much about following her and walked out.
"Do you know the Meng family?" Situ Ningbing replied.
But Li Jiazhi didn't mind, but he felt that he was insulted. Who is the Meng family? A three-year-old child knows that he is the number one genius woman in the world! The first emperor's minister of the humerus, who almost entered the cabinet as a woman, almost became a mythical figure, but he just didn't know who his father was, and he couldn't know who the Meng family was!
"Of course I know!" Li Jiazhi was a little angry, "Sister-in-law, I am a three-year-old child!"
Situ Ningbing glanced at him helplessly, and shook his head silently, "If you are a three-year-old child, it will be easier for you to ask the Meng family to accept you." "That being said, Situ Ningbing knows very well in his heart that whether it is for the sake of his own face or to pass the time, Li Jiazhi will accept this disciple Meng Jia's ten **.
"Take me?" Li Jiazhi blinked his eyes, and after understanding the meaning of Situ Ningbing's words, his eyes lit up, "Sister-in-law is saying that you want everyone Meng to be my master?!" In front of me, I unconsciously appeared in front of me that my golden sable purple python was wearing a first-class court dress and stood on top of the golden palace and the appearance of the leaders and ministers, as if he recognized the Meng family as a master, and he could enter the cabinet like the Meng family.
"Hehe...... " Li Jia scolded and drooled silly, Situ Ningbing glanced at him, and moved to the side without a trace......
As Situ Ningbing expected, the Meng family really didn't hesitate to accept Li Jiazhi's master and recognize this apprentice.
And after the excitement of the initial apprenticeship subsided, Li Jiazhi did not relapse into his old ways, but became more and more diligent and hardworking, as if he had changed a person, and the Wang family, who had almost been raised from illness, wiped his tears with joy after seeing it, so he reciprocated Li directly and directed the inner house of the Anguo Mansion to continue to be in the hands of Situ Ningbing.
This may be an unexpected joy for others, but for Situ Ningbing, who is not used to getting up early and being lazy, it is undoubtedly lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot. Therefore, after the rectification of the inner courtyard was completed, all the subordinates were bluffed and could only be diligent and loyal, and after Situ Ningbing threw all the trivial matters of the housekeeper to Jianpian himself, and started to be the shopkeeper again.
On this day, seeing that Lian was leading Hongluan to listen to the affairs of various places in the outer hugging building, a figure broke in without being informed, and did not look at Jian Lian who was sitting on the couch and opened his mouth to call his sister-in-law.
Seeing that he laughed out loud, he got up from the couch and saluted Li Jiazhi and quipped: "Third young master, you can see clearly, the slave maid is not my young lady, they all say that you have worked very hard in your studies these days, I didn't believe it, but now I know that this is really the case, you are not too hard to even recognize people!" After speaking, she didn't laugh yet, but the maids and servants in the room all covered their mouths and laughed.
It's also a shame that Li Jiazhi has always been thick-skinned, and it's not the first time that he has been teased by a maid, and since he heard about Jianlian's "great achievements" at Li Shuning's wedding, Li Jiazhi is both respectful and afraid of Jianlian. Not to mention that the eight-hundred-pound copper tripod can be lifted with one hand, how to say that he is a top master, can he not be afraid!
Changed to the maid next to him, Li Jiazhi can still put the young master's style and pretend to be too lazy to care about you, but he pretended to be a grandson to laugh at his very unproductive choice, "Hehe, sister, don't make fun of me, I just didn't see it clearly when I was in a hurry, and please don't blame my sister for offending." ”
"What is not to be offended, the third young master, don't torture the slave and maid. He was so polite, he was a little uncomfortable when he saw pity, she was not the girl who didn't know how to advance or retreat, after all, Li Jiazhi was also the master on the surface, and she understood the truth of accepting it when she saw it better than anyone else.
"Miss should be practicing calligraphy in the study at this time, and the slave will let you take you there. After speaking, he instructed Hongluan: "You take the third young master to the study." ”
Hongluan responded crisply and said, "Third Young Master, please come with the slave." Ben Dang led Li Jiazhi to the inner study first.
Li Jiashu's eyes lit up when he heard that Situ Ningbing was practicing calligraphy, and he smiled at the pity, "Sister is busy, I'm going to find my sister-in-law." ”
Seeing that Pian was a little baffled by his unusual attitude, he secretly wondered what the Meng family had taught, why did Li Jia instruct this virtue?! It feels like a wild cat suddenly turned into a domestic dog or is it very obedient, it's too unaccustomed!
And Li Jiazhi, who is believed to have been domesticated into a domestic dog, is wagging his tail in Situ Ningbing's study at the moment, "Sister-in-law, you taste it, this cup of blood Yan Panxia has been stewed on low heat all morning, it is very nourishing." Li Jiazhi stood beside the bookcase, and with a flattering face, he held the white jade bowl in his hand to Situ Ningbing.
Situ Ningbing was silently writing the "Dizang Bodhisattva Sutra", and after writing the last word with his wrist, he put the ink-stained Zihao pen into the pen wash, looked up at the white jade bowl in Li Jiazhi's hand, and said in disgust: "Can you change the trick? Last time, it was Xueyan, who should change the Lingzhi deer antler or something this time." ”
Disgusted and disgusted, the tonic sent to his mouth is not eaten in vain, and he took the white jade bowl in Li Jiazhi's hand, Situ Ningbing bypassed the bookcase and sat down on a beauty couch near the window, and his slender white and tender fingers pinched the white jade spoon and tasted a bird's nest slowly.
"Huh?" Situ Ningbing raised his eyebrows, "There is also peach gum added to it, this time it's not a small matter, right?"
Li Jiazhi smiled more and more flatteringly, "Actually, it's not a big deal," he said one wall and another wall to peek at the calligraphy on the top of the bookcase, Situ Ningbing had just finished writing, "It's Mr. Meng who said that I can't write well and have to work hard to practice, and praised my sister-in-law, your calligraphy is excellent, the most powerful, majestic and majestic is hard to find in the world, if you can get your true inheritance, you will definitely have great attainments in the future, so ......" Li Jiazhi didn't finish his words, only looked at Situ Ningbing and smirked.
"Don't laugh!" Situ Ningbing got goosebumps from his laughter, and said with a smile on the bookcase: "Go, write two words and I'll see." Situ Ningbing understood that she taught Li Jiazhi calligraphy partly because of her attainments, and partly because she could always keep abreast of Li Jiazhi's learning progress, and Mr. Meng's family could use Guò Li Jiazhi to spy on her mind so that he could adjust the teaching content at any time. Situ Ningbing secretly sighed, the Meng family is worthy of being the ministers of the first emperor's humerus, although they are small wrists, they are extraordinary!
"I knew that sister-in-law, you would definitely agree!" Li Jiazhi happily ran to the bookcase, picked up the Zihao that Situ Ningbing had just used from the pen wash, and was about to dip the ready-made inkstone in ink, and Liangchen, the second-class maid who had been standing with her head down to temporarily replace Yuhe, hurriedly put away the "Dizang Bodhisattva Wish Sutra" that Situ Ningbing had just finished writing on the bookcase, and laid out a new piece of rice paper on the felt, and then smiled shyly at Li Jiazhi, signaling that he could write.
Li Jiazhi held the pen luckily and wrote the two words of dragon flying and phoenix dancing on rice paper - Dexi.
"Sister-in-law, how do you see how I write?" Li Jiazhi held his ink treasure and looked at Situ Ningbing expectantly.
Fortunately, Situ Ningbing's crazy writing is better than regular script, otherwise she really wouldn't have recognized what Li Jiazhi wrote! Lowering her eyes and rubbing the corners of her forehead that kept twitching with her hand, Situ Ningbing only felt that one more glance was staining her eyes, but Li Jiazhi couldn't help but ask, "How is it...?"
Situ Ningbing did not comment on his words, put down the white jade bowl in his hand, got up, turned out a thick booklet under the bookcase opposite, handed it to Li Jia, and said: "You first practice word by word according to this calligraphy, every stroke can not be bad, and then come to me after practicing each word a thousand times." ”
Li Jiazhi didn't understand what she meant at this time, it would be hopeless, and he glanced at his words for a long time and couldn't help asking: "Sister-in-law, my words are really so... Isn't it miserable?"
Situ Ningbing coughed lightly, avoiding Li Jiazhi's gaze, but stuffed the notebook into his arms, patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Liu Bang was still a ruffian and hooligan at the age of forty, but in the end he became Han Gaozu, isn't it just a few words, practice hard, your conditions are stronger than him!"
