Chapter 177: Warmth
"Songxi Academy" has a kindergarten initiation class, and there is a special master to teach and enlighten these children under the age of ten. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Mrs. Tu adheres to the concept of "education without class", as long as there is a studious heart, in addition to the lowly status, regardless of Shinong industry and commerce, you can send your own children to the academy without discrimination.
After the examination of Mrs. Tu, Xu Wenyu went to the academy every day to study, and the little girl in Aoba followed him in and out all day long. Fortunately, it is convenient to go from the Tu family to the academy, and it is also convenient to take a cup of tea.
The eldest sister is like a mother, although Xu Wanzhen was busy with silk flowers, housekeepers and other trivial matters during this time, her upbringing of Xu Wenyu was not left behind.
As long as she is in Qingzhuyuan, Xu Wenyu will accompany him until half an hour before dinner. Listening to his soft and glutinous voice, shaking his head and reciting the texts taught that day, chatting with him about his classmates in the academy and those interesting things that happened in the academy, I only felt that most of the daily fatigue had dissipated.
Xu Wenyu finished memorizing today's text, ran to her with a smile, and said coquettishly: "Sister, am I good at memorizing?"
Xu Wanzhen hugged him, kissed his forehead, and said with a smile: "Yu'er listens carefully and carries it very well." Physical contact is the best way to give children a sense of security, and having lost her mother, Xu Wanzhen strives to make Xu Wenyu feel the greatest love.
What's more, Xu Wenyu is studying, talent and intelligence aside, he himself is extremely diligent. The schedule and rest time of the initiation class is the same as that of the students of the college, and they are all taught from the fifth watch and at the hour. After lunch, the class ends at the end of the lecture. The biggest difference from modern elementary schools is that there are no winter and summer vacations, and there are no weekends. The holiday time is the same as that of officials, and there is only one ten-day holiday on ten days, and there are several holidays.
Xu Wanzhen felt in her heart that such a system of rest was enough for officials. But for an elementary school student, it's a bit of a burden. Xu Wenyu never complained, he went to the school happily every day, and when he came back, he conscientiously completed the homework taught by the master, and never fell behind.
Fortunately, since the old year, Xu Wanzhen has added milk tonic to him, and now he exercises every morning. Xu Wenyu himself has a good foundation, he is energetic, and he is not sick after studying hard. He was full of enthusiasm for studying, and when the master saw that he had done well in his schoolwork, he often praised him for a few words, and he seemed more energetic.
Studying hard, Xu Wenyu has lost baby fat during this time, and his little face is still fleshy, but Xu Wanzhen hugged him and felt that the flesh on his body was missing. asked him distressedly: "Yu'er, is it hard to study?"
Xu Wenyu had a pair of big black and white eyes, shining brightly, and shook his head like a rattle: "It's not hard, sister, I like to go to school." ”
He snuggled in Xu Wanzhen's arms, stretched out a meaty finger, and counted carefully: "I like to eat with my classmates at noon, I like to compete with them to throw pots, and I like to answer when Li Fuzi compares me." ”
Yes, except for Tu Ruizhang in Qingzhuyuan, he doesn't have a playmate of the same age. Tu Ruizhang is younger than him, and he can't come over often because of the Lin family, so he is naturally more interesting in the school. Xu Wanzhen thought like this, and remembered that now he has to go to school every day, and he doesn't feel anything at the moment, and it is inappropriate for Qingye to follow him when he is older, so it is better to find a scholar as soon as possible.
It was getting late, and I took Xu Wenyu with me and finished dinner with Mrs. Xu. Mother Liu took Xu Wenyu down to rest, and he had to get up early to go to school tomorrow.
Old Madam Xu left her behind and asked, "Tomorrow's 'Peony Flower Meeting', are you really ready?"
Xu Wanzhen smiled slightly and said, "For such a grand event, the granddaughter can be a good green leaf with peace of mind." Competitive things, let's leave it to those noble girls. ”
Seeing that she understood it, Mrs. Xu said lovingly: "Zhen'er, in addition to your identity, you are not inferior to them, just be neither humble nor arrogant." These noble girls, they have done a lot of hard work on the surface, but they love to bully the soft and fear the hard the most, if someone bullies you," Mrs. Xu's eyes narrowed, and she said in a deep voice: "You don't need to show weakness, but I Tu Qionghua is not a vegetarian!"
When Mrs. Xu was in the boudoir, she didn't know how much she attended, and she knew the best about the means inside. Some noble ladies are arrogant and dustless, so they are afraid that they will make a fuss about Xu Wanzhen's identity as a merchant and humiliate them.
Feeling her grandmother's care, Xu Wanzhen's chest was full of warmth, and she said with a smile: "Grandmother, don't worry, Zhen'er will not let them be bullied." Tomorrow, I will take Cai Si and Mama Zheng with me, if there is something inappropriate, Mama Zheng will remind me. ”
Cai Si is the son of the Tu family, and has socialized with Tu Manzhen a few times, and knows more noble girls in Beijing, which is more suitable than Sang Zi; Mama Zheng has been in the palace for decades and is most familiar with those private methods. With these two people here, Xu Wan is really not timid.
A good night's sleep.
On the eighth day of the fifth month, it is advisable to meet relatives and friends, travel, bathe, and sacrifice, avoid entering the water, and make alliances.
When he first arrived, Sang Zi woke up Xu Wanzhen softly. Although the time on the invitation is written at two o'clock in the morning, it takes time to come to the journey, and secondly, with the current status of the Tu family, it is better to arrive early, and only distinguished guests will arrive at the time.
Xu Wanzhen finished washing, and a set of dresses that had been prepared lay quietly on the bed.
The dress is mainly white, with moon-white narrow sleeves on the top, lined with a jade-colored makeup satin moonflower skirt, and only two magnolia flowers are lightly embroidered on the skirt.
Sang Zi served her to change into a dress and put her in a hanging bun. There is still a delicate little white flower next to the bun, and then a butterfly dancing magnolia is inserted to shake the emerald step. The black hair that hangs down behind the ears is tied with a string of pearls the size of a grain of rice, and it hangs naturally over the shoulders. The white jade bracelet on her left hand was still on her wrist, and the whole person was cold and refined.
After looking at the mirror for a while, the texture of the dress is naturally good, but the elegance is too much, even if it is in filial piety, attending this kind of occasion inevitably does not seem respectful. Xu Wanzhen instructed Cai Si: "Find out the corset that Sister Ru Niang made for me a few days ago." ”
Before the third cousin and his wife came, Han Runiang had nothing to do in Xu's house and made many female celebrities, including Xu Wanzhen's waist, handkerchiefs and other things. The light blue and dark flower brocade corset, it took her a lot of effort, the stitches were fine and exquisite, Xu Wanzhen couldn't put it down when she saw it, and it was just right to match this dress now.
Coupled with the waist, it was really much more solemn, and the cold temperament on her body was restrained, and her face looked bright.
Ready, Xu Wanzhen went to greet Mrs. Xu.
Seeing her dress, Mrs. Xu nodded, motioned to Yulu to open the box she was holding, and said, "It's still too plain, you can pick one of the jewelry in this box and use it, don't teach you to look down on it." ”
This box is full of good things for Mrs. Xu, as soon as she opens it, the box is full of pearls and emeralds, and the jewels are full of treasures.
