Although there is a strong old lady in Yanfu, but in fact, the rules are not so big, after all, the world has been liberalized for a long time, and the old lady Yan has grown up in such an environment since she was a child, so the Yan family's invitation does not have to be every day, just show filial piety once every three days.

Because today is the day of the children's "start of school", how can the whole family get together for breakfast, and then the head of the family, Mrs. Yan, will teach a few words, which can be regarded as a ritual, so the seven sisters and brothers of Yan Qi came out of the summer residence and went to the four seasons residence of the old lady and his wife first.

It is the little maid outside the second gate who endorses the book box for Young Master Yan Jiu, and the children of the official family must bring the scholar and the maid to school, so that they can serve at any time, and the little maid ink and the girl boiling the rain are the people who go to school with the masters to serve.

The master and servant came out of the summer house, stepped down the dolomite platform, and walked along the white stone path between the bamboo forests outside the courtyard. This summer residence is embraced in the bamboo forest, and the yard is full of sycamores, plantains and begonias, inside and outside are all things with rain, the best in summer, cool and quiet, listen to the sound of rain.

The white stone path winds and turns to the outside of the forest, out of the bamboo forest, the eyes suddenly open up, pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, lakes and pavilions, grand and exquisite, typical Beijing-style architectural style. The emperor of this dynasty is a race to one local heroic, good at pleasure and good face, hard to stipulate that the subordinates' house shall not be less than how much area, the higher the level, the bigger your house must be, lest people say that I am the emperor's slasher and abuse the courtiers, and there are often foreign envoys in this capital who come to the court, and there are more foreign merchants who have opened shops to do business.

Therefore, the mansion of the Yan family's Sanpin official is as big as a provincial park, and there is even an artificial lake, just outside the bamboo forest, and there are ten people in the mansion who are responsible for cleaning up the garbage in the lake.

Go south along the lake embankment, go around the rockery through the corridor, go around and around, and raise your eyes to the Four Seasons House.

The Four Seasons House is also the courtyard of the five entrances, passing through layer by layer, straight into the fourth courtyard, the lintel plaque on the upper room is "Baizhi Hall", it is the living place of the old lady and his wife, the corner of the courtyard is planted with a Bodhi tree that is old, so that this courtyard has a bit of ancient Zen.

The girl opened the curtain and invited the Yan Qi sisters and brothers into the room, and saw that Mrs. Yan San, with Young Master Yan and Miss Yan Ba, had already arrived first, and was sitting down to talk to Mrs. Yan, and I didn't know what she said, which caused the old lady to laugh.

said that it was an "old" wife, but in fact, Mrs. Yan was less than fifty, but she got married early and gave birth to a baby early, and she gave birth to Master Yan at the age of sixteen, and Master Yan had the eldest son when he was sixteen years old, and the eldest son is not yet sixteen, but Mrs. Yan expects that she will be able to live in the same house for four generations when she is fifty years old.

Mrs. Yan gave birth to four sons in one breath, and the old lady gave birth to several concubines in the room in her early years, and she did not leave half of her concubine to add disgust to her.

"Greetings to Grandmother. "Yan Qi and Young Master Yan Jiu stepped forward and saluted in a decent manner.

Mrs. Yan put a few dew flowers on her bun and a few spring flowers with dew that she only picked this morning - no matter how old she is, she is also a woman, how can there be a woman who doesn't love beauty, it is fashionable to put flowers on her head, she turned her head to look at the sister and brother, and saw that there was nothing wrong with dressing neatly, so she was relieved, and when the two of them greeted Mrs. Yan San and Yan Bayan Shixing, they bowed their heads slightly and motioned for the two to sit down, and still turned around to listen to Mrs. Yan San continue to speak, "...... As a result, I stepped forward and looked at the word written by Xiao Shi, and I actually wrote the two ticks of the word "bi" under the word "kun" in reverse! I should have picked it to the right, but it turned out to be on the left! It made us laugh ......."

Mrs. Yan also listened to the music, and said: "Xiao Shi has not yet reached the age of six, and it is good to be able to hold a pen, not to mention that the word 'Kun' is complicated, that is, Xiao Shi is smart, and he still remembers the appearance of that word, and it is good to be able to draw like it." ”

The tenth young master of the third room is the youngest child of the third generation of the Yan family so far, sitting opposite Yan Qi like a dumpling, his big black eyes dripping and rolling, looking extremely clever.

Yan Qi couldn't help but glance at Young Master Yan Jiu, who was sitting next to him: When this thing was less than six years old, he could even write the sentence "chirp and chirp, and Li Wanji in one day".

Young Master Yan Jiu sat down indifferently and continued to hide his merits and fame.

"Grandmother, I heard that my father was able to hold a pen and write when he was three years old, is it true?" Miss Yan Ba was only five months younger than Yan Qi, and her eyes were like her biological mother, Aunt Zhao, with spring water in her mouth.

There is no mother who doesn't like to praise her son, Yan Ba Girl's question is in line with Mrs. Yan's heart, and she can't help laughing: "That's true, your father knew 100 words when he was three years old, and the surname of the hundred families was written well, and when he was ten years old, he was able to write poems in seven steps, and at the age of 12, he was accepted as a closed disciple by the current great Confucian Mr. Meixi, and everyone said that your father was the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing, and he couldn't find such a one in ten cities and eight towns......"

Old Lady Yan was balabala above, and Yan Qi was starting to wander again below. Old lady Yan Kangtai is a literati, and has always loved his third son who is the "reincarnation of Wenqu Xing", and what about Mrs. Yan, the most painful is Master Yan, her old son, who is really infinitely doting and conniving, and I can't wait to contract the entire capital to her family.

If the third master of Yan is regarded as the intellectual responsibility of the sons, and the fourth master is the responsibility of the pet, then the third master of Yan probably belongs to the two-dimensional responsibility or the snake spirit disease or something, what about the second master Yan? Yan Qi's cheap father has already gone to the border guard when she came from afar, the second room couple Yan Qi has never seen, but the second wife Yan has letters every month, the second master Yan has not even brought back a fart to his two children, Mrs. Yan naturally mentions this second son at ordinary times, but they are also a little worried and worried, as for what kind of character the second master Yan is, whether it is a ghost animal, a weak man, a macho man or a fine score, Yan Qi does not know at all.

The children whose parents are not by their side can't even get a few more loving eyes from their grandmothers.

Fortunately, the seven sisters and brothers of Yan have long been accustomed to it, who let them grow up just in time for the time when the old lady Yan is menopausal and the bride enters the door to fight for the rights of her son (husband) The most intense and tense time?

As he spoke, the door curtain was beaten up by the girl again, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the people from the long room had come into the door in a group, led by Mrs. Yan, wearing a coral red embroidered skirt with golden plums, an elegant and elegant updo, and the head and face of the gold silk inlaid with rubies, reflecting the beauty of the skin like condensed fat and facial features, and the spring breeze was full of spring breeze before opening the mouth, which made people feel good, but if you were willing to take a closer look, there was a bit of indifference and ridicule in those eyes that were quite bright.

"Mother. Mrs. Yan took the children in the long room and stepped forward to salute with a gentle smile.

Mrs. Yan let out a lukewarm "um", turned her head and continued to talk to Mrs. Yansan, unable to hide her deliberateness.

Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan are typical mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships with discord, and the love-hate entanglement Yan Qi is not interested at all, she does not have the aura of the protagonist, and she does not have the attributes of the heroine of the house fight who everyone wants to plot and persecute, and secondly, she really has nothing for others to plot, only a little private money, which is still saved from the monthly case, and the clothes and jewelry are all issued quarterly by the public, as long as she does not take the initiative to provoke others, others are not too idle to have to get along with her, the unfavored second-room girl。

They fought them, Yan Qi didn't even bother to watch the play, pretending to be stupid offline in a daze, who he loved.

Mrs. Yan is followed by Yan 123456, three men and three women, neat and symmetrical, of which 1245 is from the concubine, and the third or six is from the concubine, and the oldest young master Yan is only sixteen this year, and he is still studying, so according to the age structure, the Yan Mansion is actually a very young family.

At present, in addition to the children in this room, there are female dependents, and Mrs. Yan usually writes in the study at this time, and the old man has been in the habit for decades, and he must practice a word every morning before he comes back for breakfast. Needless to say, Master Yan went to work before dawn, the third master also had a job, and he went out early, and the fourth master was in bed, as the person with the highest favored value in Hefu, even if he didn't come to ask for good morning for ten days and a half, there was no pressure, no one could compare with this, and no one dared to compare with him.

Everyone sat down to talk, but in fact, most of them were Mrs. Yan San and Mrs. Yan talking, Miss Yan Ba was funny, and the rest of the people were listening. Mrs. Yan San is Mrs. Yan's maiden niece, and she married Mrs. Yan San to be a parent, so Mrs. Yan naturally favored her, and she did not deal with Mrs. Yan, and often deliberately held Mrs. Yan San to suppress Mrs. Yan.

Mrs. Yan was very indifferent, sitting there smiling slightly, not minding her mother-in-law's coldness, Yan Qi felt that she was a smart person, she was the daughter-in-law of the Yan family, this family would always be in charge of Master Yan in the future, and the power of the middle feed would be completely in her hands sooner or later, she didn't have to worry at all, unless she accidentally died in front of Mrs. Yan.

The children in the long room seemed to have been raised well by Mrs. Yan, even if Mrs. Yan's intention to snub their mother was obvious at this time, several children were still very calm, even if it was Miss Jiaojiao and Miss Yan Wu, although she was staring angrily at Miss Yan Ba, who was trying to please the old lady there, her mouth was still closed firmly, and she did not spray angrily.

Mrs. Yan San and Mrs. Yan's aunt and nephew were of the same mind, and at this moment, they followed the old lady's meaning, and became more and more energetic to collect and tell Mrs. Yan about the daily cute laughter of Young Master Yan to Mrs. Yan, which made Mrs. Yan laugh uncontrollably, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were harmonious.

This kind of drama has to be staged a few times almost every time I invite An Ri, Yan Qi is already automatically immune, just sit there with his head half-hung and reminisce about the wonderful passages in the book that he read last night, and he is recalling that Li Ergou picked thirteen bandit villages with an iron gun without hurting a hair, so he listened to Yan Wu, who was sitting next to her, lowered her voice and talked to her: "I'm going to enter a girls' school today, you give me a good life, and you will be ashamed of our Yan family!"

Is this a hate shift?

"Oh. Yan Qi answered honestly.

A punch in the cotton, it was not the first time that Miss Yan Wu, fortunately, she had gotten used to it over the years, glared at Yan Qi and didn't speak again.

Li Ergou continued to single-handedly fight the fourteenth bandit village.

When I picked the eighteenth seat, a girl came in to report that the old lady had finished practicing the words and was ready to go to the front hall, and a room of people followed the old lady Yan to get up, came out of the room and went to the front, and waited in the front hall for a while, and saw that the old lady Yan came back from the outer study, wore a homely cotton robe, stepped into the house in a fairy manner, and said with a pleasant face: "Sit down." Compared with Old Lady Yan's strict sù, Old Lady Yan was much kinder, and she smiled at Young Master Yan Jiu.

Everyone then sat down around the table, a total of two tables, the grandchildren and the old lady at a table, the daughter-in-law with the granddaughters with the old lady at a table, although the dogma of eating without sleep and not sleeping is no longer popular, but everyone really has nothing to say, they are all hungry, and they will go to school for a while, so they will bury their heads in eating.

After a while, Mrs. Yan instructed a few newly enrolled granddaughters a few words, which was nothing more than to let the students who abide by discipline and love in the school not to discredit the family or anything, everyone responded one by one, and this set of processes in the morning was only over.

A total of four large carriages were parked outside the door for the young master and her attendants to ride, but the destination was all the same-Splendid Academy.

There are three most famous female schools in the wind, one is run by the royal family, only the emperor's relatives are accepted, one is run by the official family, only the female relatives of the official family, and the other is run by the common people, and everyone accepts it. Of course, it is impossible for the royal family and official families to go to the civilian academy, there is a * share, no matter how open the atmosphere of this era is, the concept of hierarchy and inferiority is also deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

There are dozens of academies in Kyoto alone, and there are many government-run academies, because there are many officials in Beijing, thousands of large and small, and officials marry wives and concubines and have children, unless the heirs are difficult for personal reasons, which official does not have more than a dozen children in his family? For example, Wu Yue's family, throwing a brick on the street of Kyoto can smash two people with official titles, and the second generation of officials is as many as gadfly, and the government-run academies will naturally compete with each other, and hundreds of schools of thought will contend.

The most famous and the best teaching quality here is the "Splendid Academy" that Yan Qi wants to enter, and the women who go out of this academy have all become praised official wives, and even a few have married into the royal circle, even the current queen and Min Guifei of the favored harem are "graduated" from this academy, which undoubtedly makes the reputation of Splendid Academy soar, and many high-ranking officials and nobles choose daughters-in-law, and the first choice is the female students of Splendid Academy.

With a good reputation, the Splendid Academy is not worried about the source of students, but thousands of officials and dependents in Kyoto want to come here to study, and we can't afford it, what should we do? Set a threshold, if you want to enroll, you must first take the exam, make a sign for all the subjects offered by the school, and then let you draw, draw six of them for the entrance examination, and the results are divided into four grades, and the average score of the six subjects is more than 75 points before you can be admitted - don't ask how to convert between A, B, C and D, say that you are a few points, you are a few points, and the famous school is so capricious.

After such an audition for the entrance exam, the students of Splendid Academy have raised a notch as a whole, their reputation is greater, and there are more students who are admiring to ask for admission, and the threshold for admission is getting higher and higher.

Wenqu Xing's reincarnated Master Yan San is not interested in being an official, fortunately, Mrs. Yan is not particularly obsessed with her son being an official, there are already two sons who are officials at home, Xiao San'er doesn't like to do it, don't do it, become a glorious people's teacher, cultivate talents for the imperial court, and serve the country at the same time, very good, Mrs. Yan was once the gentleman of Splendid Academy, and now he is retired at home to cultivate himself, and he is also happy to see the third son who is willing to inherit his father's business.

By the way, there are both male and female schools under the Splendid Academy, the male school is called "Jinyuan" and the female school is called "Embroidery Academy".

The Yan family, starting from Master Yan to the youngest student of the third generation, Young Master Yan Jiu, are all or have been students of Splendid Academy.

With the sound of a whip, the carriage and fish drove forward, facing the spring morning sunshine and driving to the fresh world of the new day.
