Volume 1, Chapter 52: Out of the Middle

On the second day, Qiao Lan gave Yue Yao a simple bun. Yue Yao picked a pearl silver hairpin from the jewelry box and stuck it diagonally in her bun.

In order to match this pearl hairpin, Qiao Lan chose a pair of pearl earrings, and originally wanted Yueyao to wear another white jade bracelet, but Yueyao shook her head: "It's okay." ”

Flower Bud fetched a light blue dress. Yue Yao still shook her head, and chose an ivory white dress by herself, and added a plain gauze dress to the outside.

Hua Bud and Qiao Lan glanced at each other, and Hua Bud couldn't help but say, "Girl, isn't it too plain." "Going out like this won't cause bad remarks.

Yue Yao chuckled: "Everyone in the mansion knows that I am guarding filial piety, and I believe that Mama and Mr. already know about it." "Go to the upper room, although Yueyao is dressed plainly, she will not be dressed in white. For fear of provoking my grandmother's sorrows. But today, Yueyao didn't have to go to the room to greet the old lady, she used the chisel mountain and went directly to the meditation garden, and there was no such concern.

Yueyao went out after breakfast, and when she went out, she heard Brother Zheng'er's reading sound, and every time she heard Brother Zheng'er's pleasant voice, Yueyao would smile comfortably. This has become a beautiful scenery in Lanxi Park.

Yueyao was the farthest away, and it took almost three quarters of an hour to reach the Meditation Garden. When Yueyao arrived, Yueying had already arrived.

Today's Yueying is wearing a green dress, Yueying's skin is already very fair, and it makes people more and more beautiful.

Yue Bing was wearing a pale yellow short-sleeved shirt, a moon-white cardigan inside, and a bright blue Xiangshui drag skirt, and the color she picked was very bright. Then combed a more complicated bun, inserted a silver plum blossom step, and a hairpin beaded flower with pearls. With a slender and even figure, a black and shiny green hair, and a snow-white face, it will be more pleasing to the eye if you ignore the impatience and boredom under your eyes.

Yuehuan was wearing a dress embroidered with light green entangled roses, and combing her hair in a bun similar to Yueyao, which was decent and not particularly brilliant.

Yuehuan had already sighed secretly when he looked at Yueying and Yuebing. Twelve and nine-year-old girls can see that they are only elementary school students in modern times. Ancient times are really peculiar.

But when Yuehuan saw the elegant and refined Yueyao, she had to sigh at this perverted society. At the age of eight, I am just in the first grade of elementary school, and I have to start studying how to dress up here, and I have already learned how to match clothes and how to improve myself.

Mama Wang came out to see the dressing of the four girls, for her, who has become sharp-eyed, she can see a lot of things from the clothes alone.

Mama Wang paused for three seconds on Yueyao's body and then muttered for a while, "The third girl has learned rules and etiquette before? "Looking at the way you walk and the movements, you must have learned it.

Yue Yao nodded, this is not something that cannot be said: "When I was in Jiangnan, my mother taught me. "It's not true to say that the teachings are not true, but the second lady has imperceptibly influenced her daughter.

Before coming, not only Mama, but also several gentlemen also inquired about the situation of the main family, so Mama Wang knew that the second lady of the Lian family used to be the eldest daughter in the Hou Mansion. The rules of the young lady who came out of the Hou Mansion must be first-class, and there is no need to deliberately teach, and she can be edified just by her side.

Before she began to teach the rules, she said to the four girls, "I will teach you with all my heart, and how much you can learn and how well you can learn depends on your own understanding." As for the teaching process, it is as it should be, and Mama will not show favoritism. ”

Yueyao is now distracted by learning the rules. Mama Wang was very satisfied with Yueyao's attitude. At first, she thought that Yueyao would be proud of herself by learning the rules, but she didn't expect to work so hard and studious. I heard that the three girls were proud of their talents, but now they don't look like it.

Everyone should walk without wind and not make any sound. Not only that, the posture of sitting, standing, eating, kowtowing, serving tea; The more delicate is the posture of holding the pen, etc., which are very particular.

Yue Yao and Yue Ying listened very carefully, and Yue Bing also worked hard to get into it. The moon ring is dumbfounded, if you have to pay attention to your daily behavior, then what's the fun of living.

After the explanation, it is natural to start practicing. The first practice is walking. Just practicing walking, I practiced all morning. Yueying also studied very seriously, although Yuebing was a little irritable, but under Mama Wang's cold eyes and constant punishment, she also obediently obeyed.

The most painful of the four is the moon ring. You can't swing or twist when you walk, you must be upright. If she is wrong, she will not be punished, but she will be punished, and she will be punished.

Among the four people, the moon ring made the most mistakes. This surprised Yue Yao, it should have been Yue Bing who made the most mistakes? Why is it a moon ring?

Yueyao looked at Yuehuan's appearance as if she had never been exposed to these, and Yueyao was very puzzled by this. She had heard a few people from Hua Bud say that Yuehuan could learn anything, and she thought that Yuehuan was also born in a big family. Yueyao thinks that it is God's favor and it is impossible for ordinary people to have it, so she thinks that Yuehuan should also think with even adults, and have learned these things, that is to say, Yuehuan should also be born in a big family. But seeing that Yueyao didn't understand these rules at all, she looked like she was from a small family. Yuehuan's behavior was obviously inconsistent, and Yueyao wondered about Yuehuan for the first time, what kind of person she was and what kind of birth she was.

Mama Wang's eyes couldn't be clearer when she looked at Yuehuan, and the children couldn't be taught. She has said it more than ten times, but she can't get it right, compared with the qualification of Yuehuan, even the Yuebing, who was specially reminded by the master that she needs to be taught well, is much more pleasing to the eye.

Yueying and Yueyao were able to restrain their chuckles, but Yuebing obviously didn't do it, and finally couldn't help laughing after Yuehuan was punished again.

Yuehuan turned red at the moment, and was despised and ridiculed by a nine-year-old girl, this feeling is terrible! Ahem, I've never been so embarrassed.

Mama Wang smiled when she saw Yue Bing, and immediately punished Yue Bing together. The reason for the punishment is also very simple: "You are sisters, and you will be a family that shares honor and disgrace in the future." When you laugh at her, you laugh at her, so you have to punish her. "Raising a grandmother is not only about etiquette, but also about how to behave in the world.

Yue Yao was slightly shocked when she heard this, but she quickly realized her abnormality and immediately lowered her head, but all this did not escape Mama Wang's eyes at all.

Mama Wang always felt that she couldn't see through Yueyao. An eight-year-old child's mind is so deep that it can't help but be shocking.

Mama Wang looked at the sky and finally said that class was over. Before the four girls went out, he said: "You have to remember that the real ladies can't make a little sound when they walk, and these are all things that need to be imperceptibly carved into the bones on weekdays, otherwise the tiger will not become an anti-dog." "Everyone's beautiful, it's not about talking.

Mama Wang's meaning is obvious, nothing falls out of thin air. If you want to reach that point, you have to study hard, and you have to integrate these rules into your bones, so that you can show that you are well-educated.

Yueyao's face was very respectful: "What Mama taught me is that I will pay attention." "If she wants to be told that she doesn't follow the rules, she still needs to work hard.

Yueyao's words made Mama Wang couldn't help frowning again, what Yueyao said was that I was not us. Since they are all girls from the Lian family, they should be united.

Mama Wang shook her head, the third girl's temperament is not good. It seems that we have to talk to the old lady about it.

After practicing walking for a morning, with back pain and leg cramps, Yueyao endured it without saying a word. After lunch, Yueyao lay down and asked Qiaolan to massage her.

Mother Deng whispered: "Girl, if you don't go to the meditation garden or other courtyards at noon, you don't have to go back." It's hard to go back and forth like this. "It takes more than half an hour to go back and forth, and then I have lunch, and I don't have enough time to rest.

Yueyao looked at the familiar scene, shook her head and said, "I'm fine, I can hold on." "She must not live in other yards. The house is familiar, and Mo will not make an excuse to let her move out at that time. At the beginning, she was asked to move to Lanxi Courtyard with ulterior motives, but now this plan has failed, and she must want her to move out. But in this life, unless she leaves Lianfu, she will never move out of Lanxi Courtyard.

Yue Yao narrowed her eyes and went to the Meditation Garden again. Whether it's learning rules or learning calligraphy, it's all in the meditation garden.

The first class in the afternoon was a calligraphy class taught by Mr. Yun. If it was in the past, Yueyao would have thought that this move was a complete waste of time. But now, Yueyao has a correct mentality and regards this as a tempering of her mind.

Mr. Yun first asked everyone about their learning level.

Yueying said that she recognized thousands of words; Yue Bing humbly said that he had finished studying the Four Books and Five Classics; Yueyao modestly said that she didn't learn much. If it weren't for Yueyao's sincere attitude, I'm afraid that Mr. Yun would think she was playing tricks on herself, who in the capital didn't know that the third girl of the Lian family was a well-known talented girl, a talented girl who couldn't read and write, it wasn't a joke.

Mr. Yun glanced at Yue Yao deeply, seeing that Yue Yao was not shy at all, and let her look at her generously, Mr. Yun secretly wondered if this was the third girl she heard? Not at all.

Before Yuehuan could speak, Yuebing smiled and helped her first: "Sir, my fourth sister had an illness before and forgot everything she had learned. Everything had to start all over again. ”

Mr. Yun was not surprised by this statement at all: "In this case, you can write a few words for me first." "To teach calligraphy, you have to teach them according to their aptitude.

The four of them wrote a line according to their words.

Mr. Yun's first look was the moon ring, not that Mr. Yun paid special attention to the moon ring, but that the posture of the moon ring holding the pen was wrong. Mr. Yun corrects the posture of the moon ring.

Mr. Yun looked at the words written by Yuehuan, every word was crooked, different sizes, and the ink was uneven, like a dog crawling.

Mr. Yun looked at the moon ring in amazement. Although amnesia can make people forget a lot of things, writing has long been an instinct. The words that are written today seem to have been written by someone who has not opened a pen. Mr. Yun couldn't help but ask, "The fourth girl hasn't written a code before?" ”

When Yuehuan heard this, her face turned red. Looking at the words of the three girls next to her, Yuehuan couldn't wait to burrow into the ground. Who said that modern people travel to ancient times to see people love flowers and see flowers bloom, as long as they have a mouth, they are talented women, all of them are deceitful, they are all pit people, and they kill her! I don't really think about how many modern people have written with a brush. No, not to mention the brush words, even the pen words are not very well written. However, in ancient times, both men and women were enlightened at the age of three, and they did not chase every day. Just like her younger brother Tinglun has to practice big characters every morning and night.

cough, Yuehuan sighed again, she knew that she should practice calligraphy with her younger brother. You don't have to make yourself a joke from morning to now. Well, it's a shame to be thrown hundreds of years ago. What I can do now is to study hard and try to earn back face.

Yue Bing was afraid of being punished again, so she desperately held back her laughter, and her face turned red. It's a shame that my mother always says how bad she is, and now I don't talk about the fourth sister, even the three sisters who are known for their talent can't write as well as hers.

Mr. Yun didn't comment on Yuehuan's words, because he couldn't comment: "The four girls are going to work hard to practice calligraphy." ”

Yuehuan nodded hurriedly, she gritted her teeth and had to learn the words well.

Mr. Yun finished evaluating Yueying and Yuebing, and finally commented on Yueyao's words. Mr. Yun Lan looked at Yueyao's words and was a little surprised: "Are you Xi's ......?" "A two-year-old who enlightened a three-year-old to learn painting, and a person who is known for his talent should not write so badly!

Yue Yao explained with a smile: "I'm copying "Sunny Post When the Snow is Fast". Yueyao didn't want to write willow characters in front of everyone, so she planned to do it again. Yueyao was reluctant to come out with the rubbings of the plum blossom font. It's not that Yueyao is stingy, she really doesn't dare to take it out, the so-called husband is innocent and guilty. If it was seen by Yue Bing, it must have thought of a way to take it. Yueyao wasn't afraid of being snatched away, but she didn't want to cause this trouble, so after thinking about it, Yueyao simply took the "Sunny Post When the Snow is Fast" bought at Qingfeng Bookstore to make up the number.

The corners of Mr. Yun's mouth twitched and twitched: "Three girls, practicing words is not overnight, you need perseverance to practice words well." I heard that your willow writing is good, you shouldn't give up halfway, you should stick to it. ”

Yue Yao shook her head: "No, I'll just copy this copybook......" The reason doesn't need to be explained, because it's not necessary.

Mr. Yun sighed slightly, this third girl is too arrogant. This is the disadvantage of being in the boudoir, I haven't seen the outside world, my vision is limited, and I may be flattered a lot and think that I am a genius and a prodigy, but I don't know that such a hammer in the east and a hoe in the west will not be able to learn anything well in the end. Mr. Yun originally wanted to say a few more words, but looking at Yue Yao's faint expression, he finally swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. She knows countless people, and she knows that once someone like the third girl determines something, she will go all the way to the dark, and it is difficult to make sense. didn't persuade him at the moment, but asked: "Third girl, how long have you been copying "Clear Post When the Snow is Fast"? ”

Yue Yao looked at the words written: "I just started learning." "Where did she have time to practice this in the past. Yue Yao also plans to copy it in class in the future. Of course, if the husband assigns homework, it must also be completed.

Mr. Yun was surprised in his eyes, but quickly said: "The "Fast Snow Time Clear Post" calligraphy is mainly based on the round pen hidden front, starting and closing the pen, hooking and picking the wave skimming are not sharp, from horizontal to vertical is also mostly circular brushwork, the structure is uniform and stable, showing calm and leisure, not slow or slow. Mr. Yun told Yue Yao about the characteristics of this calligraphy, which meant that this calligraphy was not easy to practice. At least Mr. Yun didn't think that Yueyao was suitable for practicing this calligraphy, because the realm couldn't be reached.

Yue Yao smiled faintly: "I know." Although there are only more than 20 words in the "Sunny Post When the Snow is Fast", its calligraphy is clever and dense, the meaning is sparse and slow, and the ink is clear and refreshing; The pen is round and vigorous, and the rhythm and elasticity of the ups and downs are relatively peaceful; The knot is mainly square, stable and full, sometimes constricted, can contain energy and expand, and is strong and healthy in Yanli, and sends feelings on the end of the pen. Moreover, these 20 words also show its harmony in the wonderful combination of artistic conception, with regular script penmanship in the line of calligraphy. Although it is not outside the edge and the spiritual connotation, the bone strength is hidden, peaceful and simple, and the book style of winning with rhyme in the middle of the road calmly. It has the comment of "round and quaint, meaning leisurely and leisurely, and the taste is unfathomable". ”

After Yue Yao finished speaking, Yue Ying and Yue Bing looked at Yue Yao.

Yuehuan was stunned on the spot, because Yuehuan didn't know what Yueyao was talking about. For Yuehuan, Yueyao said that it was equivalent to the Book of Heaven. Yuehuan looked straight at Yue Yao, she had always heard that the third girl was a talented girl before, but she didn't know where the third girl was learning. Who would have thought that an unintentional corner would make him ashamed.

Mr. Yun was also stunned, she didn't expect Yue Yao to have such a comprehensive understanding of "Sunny Post When the Snow is Fast". This also means that the three girls are not on a whim, but ready to study seriously. But if you are ready, you should have learned early, so why wait until today.

Mr. Yun was confused by Yueyao for a while, but she was only responsible for teaching calligraphy and painting to several girls, and she was not in charge of the rest. Be extra careful when doing things in a big family: "Since you must copy this copybook, I won't stop you." But the fourth girl, practicing calligraphy is not an overnight thing, since you have started, don't give up halfway. If you do something halfway, you will achieve nothing in the future. Mr. Yun's words also meant to admonish.

Yue Yao knew that Mr. Yun would say this for her good, and her attitude was very sincere at the moment: "Thank you, sir, I remembered." "She'll practice this book seriously anyway. As for what level can be achieved, it depends on how much time there is.

Calligraphy for an hour, after a quarter of an hour of rest, Mr. Qi taught everyone the piano skills. Yue Yao stood up and saluted Mr. Yun and said, "Sir, I'll go back." ”

These things have been said before. Even if she learns calligraphy, she won't say anything, but if she learns the art of playing the piano and other entertainment things during the filial piety period, spreading it will cause great damage to her reputation: "Go ahead!" "Mr. Yun didn't believe in genius before. But this hour of time made her believe that there are such people in the world, and the three girls of the family can write in an hour, not a genius.

Mr. Qi watched the four students turn into three, his face was unmoved, but he regretted it in his heart. After listening to Mr. Yun's words just now, the most talented students did not come to class, and they were less interested.

After studying for half an hour, Yue Bing received a lot of praise. Mr. Qi said with great satisfaction: "Third girl, you have great potential, as long as you practice hard, you will definitely be able to play beautiful music." ”

Yue Bing, who was rewarded, became more interested in learning the piano. Yueying is relatively still coming, and it is decent, but Mr. Qi secretly shook his head, he couldn't let go of his happiness and was restrained, where could he learn the piano well!

When it was the turn of the moon ring, there were only two words to describe it: disaster.

After playing the moon ring for less than five minutes, Yue Bing covered her ears and said directly: "Fourth sister, don't play anymore, I'll go crazy if you play again." "Is this the sound of the piano? No, this is completely the magic sound, the magic sound of Cui Ren's life.

Mr. Qi tactfully lowered his face to Yuehuan and said, "The fourth girl has no talent in piano skills. However, the four girls can learn other musical instruments, so many musical instruments can always choose the one that suits the four girls. "Mr. Qi's other musical instruments are also involved, not to mention how good he is, at least it is more than enough to teach a rookie like Yuehuan.

Yuehuan's face was so red that he was about to drip blood, and after living for so many years, he had never been so ashamed as he was today. Yuehuan can't fly back to modern times at this time, and won't stay here to be ridiculed by everyone.

Yuehuan shook her head, forget it, I don't want those messes. Take things as they come. In the future, she will work hard to study hard, and she believes that hard work will pay off.

Yuehuan returned to the courtyard, and told Aunt Su about what happened today. Today's incident, Yuehuan really feels that she has lost all the face of her life. The rules are a mess; The calligraphy is terrible, too; Piano art is just two words, shame.

Aunt Su hurriedly comforted her and said, "It's okay, it's hard to start learning." But it will get better slowly. As long as the girl is willing to work hard, she can always learn well. ”

Yuehuan made up her mind that she must study hard and get rid of the situation of the mat as soon as possible. From this day on, the moon ring began to practice, and the moon ring practiced until his whole body was weak.

Yuehuan lay on the bed, watching Aunt Su come in with medicinal wine, squatting down to knead her, Yuehuan's heart was soft. Although she was not born well now and is just a concubine, it is good to have such an aunt who loves her, so that she can taste the taste of family affection. In the future, let's stay here with peace of mind and honesty!
