Chapter 9: Learning Martial Arts (3)
What is the new style and the old style? Could it be that now is the end of the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China?
But from what she observed, it didn't look like it at all!
Seeing her stunned, Zhen's mother also thought that the three young ladies were still young after all and couldn't understand these words, so she didn't say more, only said a few words of general advice, turned around and went back to embroider clothes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Third Miss?" Qiao Ya shouted, changing her sanity back.
"That, Qiaoya," Xue Ying's tone slowed down, "Do you know what is new and what is old?"
Qiaoya was also confused, but Dong Xun, who had been silent, spoke weakly.
"The new style is the family that follows the new system of Emperor Shun, and the old style is the family that follows the old system. However, the so-called old system was restored after Emperor Ying's succession, so it also incorporated a lot of the rules of the new system, and only a few families completely followed the old system, which was called Rongdian. β
This explanation made Xue Ying even more confused, and a series of nouns almost made her brain knotted. "What's the difference between the new system and the old system?"
Dong Xun thought for a while: "It seems that the new system requires men not to accept concubines and accept houses, and both men and women in the family can learn literature and martial arts, participate in civil and military affairs, enter the court as an official or join the army." β
"Wow-" Xue Ying exclaimed.
"Sister Dong Xun, you are so powerful, you know this!" Qiao Ya showed a look of adoration to Dong Xun for the first time.
Dong Xun's face turned red and he bowed his head: "The slave knows so much." β
"Are there more new-style families now, or are there more old-style families?" Xue Ying asked.
"Naturally, there are more old-fashioned families. Dong Xun replied, "The new family is a side-door, and it only flourished for a while during the period when Empress Wuren listened to the government, after Emperor Ying succeeded to the throne, the new system was abolished, and the old system was revived. β
Left side door?!
Xue Ying couldn't help sighing, and mourned for two seconds for Empress Wuren, who was determined to promote the reform of gender equality but failed.
But after listening to Dong Xun say so much, she also found out that this little girl who is a little dead-eyed still has her smart side, and she speaks in a way, and she doesn't know what happened before, suppressed like that.
Listening to her words, it doesn't look like she came from an illiterate family.
"Dong Xun, what did your family do before?" she couldn't help asking.
Dong Xun's face turned pale, lowered his head, and snorted: "Slave maid...... The slave ...... "trembling all over, obviously frightened by this question.
"It's okay, if you don't want to say it, forget it. Xue Ying waved her hand and looked at Qiaoya, "I just remembered that I haven't discussed it with your father and mother yet!"
"Don't worry, my father and mother will definitely agree. Qiaoya is full of confidence, "My mother often says that I am honest and suitable for being a female martial artist." If I learn well, I can also recommend the plug to Zhao Zhuangtou. β
"Oh. Xue Ying nodded with a clear face, "It turns out that your family is a new-style family!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Sure enough, Uncle Shunzi's family expressed 120,000 points of support for Qiaoya's desire to learn martial arts. Early the next morning, Aunt He'an came as promised, and first taught them a set of basic boxing techniques similar to broadcast gymnastics.
Although this was the simplest thing, Xue Ying immediately noticed the gap between her and Qiaoya. Qiaoya almost remembered Aunt He'an after watching it fight once, but she asked others to slowly teach and familiarize herself with one move and one style, and she didn't need others to say anything about the boxing techniques, and she could feel that something was wrong.
Aunt He'an also comforted her, saying that she was younger and would learn things slowly.
Xue Ying was frustrated, but quickly regained her spirits and carefully learned one move at a time.
Ten days later, when she was finally able to finish this set of boxing techniques relatively smoothly, Qiaoya had already learned two sets of boxing techniques and one set of palm techniques, and the horse steps were also well stunted, which was very different from the results of her persistence in less than two minutes.
This is the difference between geniuses and mortals!
Qiaoya's talent didn't even happen to Aunt He'an, and now when she sees Qiaoya's eyes, it's like seeing a treasure. Xue Ying touched her nose, and after learning that set of fitness boxing techniques, she said that she was satisfied, so that Aunt He'an could teach Qiaoya wholeheartedly.
As a result, she was bored in the morning when Qiaoya practiced martial arts. After two punches, I went back to wipe my sweat, stared at Dong Xun with wide eyes, and waited for lunch time to come.
"Why don't you look at the clothes and jewelry now?" she asked.
"The slave has memorized it all. Dong Xun replied timidly.
"Oh. The two continued to be speechless.
Xue Ying jumped off the couch: "Forget it, let's go out for a walk." β
Qiaoya can't accompany her, of course, the only one who goes out with her is Dong Xun. But as soon as Dong Xun came out of the side door, he began to get nervous, and he wanted to completely protect her in his arms, even if there was no one around, he looked panicked.
Xue Ying had no choice but to return to the courtyard.
The courtyard on the right side is where Uncle Junko's family lives, and the courtyard on the left is vacated as a warehouse, and some things that have been placed out are placed. The two of them went inside twice idlely, and just wanted to leave, Xue Ying suddenly became curious.
"What's in this storeroom?"
Dong Xun is also a newcomer, shaking his head to indicate that he doesn't know.
Xue Ying walked in and took a look, only to find that the window paper was damaged in many places because of the disrepair, so she leaned over to block the light and looked, faintly as if there was a shadow of a bookshelf, and suddenly felt happy in her heart.
If you have books, isn't that a way to pass the time of boredom?
Xing Chong rushed to pester Zhen's mother to open the warehouse, but Zhen's mother's words were like cold water splashed on her head: "The third lady is still so young and illiterate, what do you want to do with the books?"
Poof! I forgot that I couldn't read.
"Then can my mother ask a master to come back and tell me to read?" she immediately changed her strategy.
"The third lady is still ...... young"
"Mother Zhenβ" Xue Ying stretched her voice and shook her arm, using the trick of coquettishness. Although she felt quite awkward, the effect was very significant, and sure enough, after she shook it like this, Zhen's mother immediately began to hesitate.
"This, this has to be consulted by the third lady. β
That's right......
As a young lady in this other village, she naturally says the same, but once it comes to those who are in charge, the situation is difficult to say.
Despite this, Xue Ying thought about it and still insisted: "Then please ask Mother Zhen for help." β
"Third Miss, I can't read, how can I help you ask for instructions?" Zhen's mother looked helpless.
Xue Ying was stunned: How to fix it?
Zhen's mother patiently explained: "Writing letters and sending messages must go through Zhao Zhuangtou. Zhao Zhuangtou has to send fruits, vegetables and food to the house once a month, and it will be good to tell him when the time comes-by the way, Miss can talk about such a thing, I don't know if Zhao Zhuangtou told Mrs.
Now that I remember, huh?
Xue Ying was speechless. But after thinking about it, it is estimated that Zhao Zhuangtou really didn't say it, after all, she is also a young lady no matter how she said it, and those who said that she was a dumb fool before could only be regarded as rumors, if she wrote a letter to tell the people in the house, the third miss would suddenly speak, wouldn't she just not confess to herself about believing and spreading rumors?
So, until now, the people in the house still think that she is the "fool" third lady who is mentally retarded?
