In order to save his sweetheart, Ah Jiu Soul wore a strange world, and from then on, he looked at the two worlds of yin and yang with a pair of yin and yang eyes, dealing with people during the day, and shooting lonely ghosts at night, and his life was chaotic.

"The Ghost Princess" - Yi Yang

Entrusted by a friend to push a fantasy text

——

Yesterday, I didn't resist the temptation to watch "Ordinary World", so I knelt down and asked for sin!

------Off topic------

Wang Jingshu glared at her, didn't say anything, raised her finger and pointed at Aman's forehead: "What a shameless little girl!" ”

Aman reluctantly stepped up, hugged her arm and whispered, "Aunt Jingshu, do you promise?" If you say yes, I'll be with both of you every day!" ”

Wang Jingshu and Song Xi'er were dumbfounded when they heard this, their cheeks couldn't help but turn red and dizzy, Song Xi'er gave up, Wang Jingshu's face was solemn and she was about to scold.

This is a bit outrageous, but Aman is young, but he pretended to be stupid and said it. As he spoke, Aman lowered his voice and said with a sneaky smile: "Let me tell you, my cousin and my brother have family rules, if you don't have children, you can't take a concubine!" ”

Aman blinked his eyes and said with some eagerness: "What if I can't marry, I have several brothers in my family, my eldest brother and second brother...... They are all excellent talents, the eldest brother and the second brother are already students, and they will go out to participate in the township test next autumn...... At the beginning of spring in the next year, I will go to Beijing to participate in the examination...... Let me tell you, my brothers are all very good, they have a good life, they are well educated, and they are all gentle and generous......"

"You're always so restrained and boring, just the three of us, and no one else, what's the point of being casual!" Song Xi'er said with a smile, her face was unimpressed, and she turned to Man'er and said, "Only men can marry wives, you little girl can, how can you marry a wife...... Marry both of us! ”

Wang Jingshu was a little shy, took a sip of the two girls, and said: "Don't be ashamed, you can't be young when Man'er is young, how can you follow her little girl and talk nonsense!" ”

Song Xi'er smiled, her eyes lit up and said, "Alas, it would be best if it could be natural!" ”

The mother and son were talking by the curtain, and Aman accompanied Wang Jingshu and Song Xi'er to talk on the wooden couch. As if he suddenly thought of a good idea, Aman smiled and whispered: "Aunt Xi'er likes my family, so marry me, and Aunt Jingshu, also marry me, when the time comes, you can live in my house for a long time!" ”

After a while, I watched Ah Fu turn back from the right-hand side with a small guy - it was the second round in the afternoon, and Ah Fu went to draw lots to decide the opponent and the arena. Now that I turn back, I naturally want to come over to pay respects. Qiu Chen got up and came to the curtain to ask about the situation in a low voice, and learned that Ah Fu drew a second game of the lottery, but the opponent was the ice hockey team of the powerhouse Cheng Wangfu.

Yes, as soon as these words came out, Qiu Chen and Wang Jingshu glanced at each other and laughed in unison.

Song Xi'er is actually very smart, but her temperament is lively and jumpy, and she is very spoiled at home, she is not forced to read a girl, but she is not as unbearable as she said, not only does she read a lot of poetry and books, but she has several achievements in a small hand, and she also plays a good flute...... But it's precisely her self-proclaimed 'cooking' that is a mess.

Song Xi'er spit out her sister's core, pouted, and pinched a soft steamed cake into her mouth, and while eating, she smiled vaguely: "Food, it's sex!" I'm stupid, I don't have anything to do with reading and painting, my grandmother said, I know how to eat, and it's not bad to learn how to cook! ”

Wang Jingshu looked at her with a smile and teased: "I have eaten for a long time!" ”

Song Xi'er didn't care, she just stuck out her tongue at Wang Jingshu, Gu Zi pinched another salted plum and put it in her mouth, and hissed sourly, while saying: "This plum made by my sister is crisp and delicious, the sour taste is just right, and my mouth is full of relish...... Hey, my sister is good at everything here, this trip back, how can I come out again to celebrate the New Year! ”

The ice is very skating, and the best way to stabilize your body is to skate. On the contrary, it is difficult to maintain balance by standing still. Not to mention, you have to bend down to pick up the coins from the ice one by one, and if you are not careful, you will slip and fall.

Qiu Chen hadn't thought of this before, but as soon as she heard Wang Jingshu say it, she understood, and couldn't help but smile and shake her head.

Wang Jingshu turned her head from there and said with a smile: "You girl has a lot of ghost eyes, just give a good reward, and sprinkle it on the ice, it's not ordinary people to pick up money on the ice while wearing skates!" ”

Thinking in her heart, Song Xi'er left Wang Jingshu and Ah Man and walked to Qiu Chen's side, twisted a piece of plum blossom cake and put it in her mouth to eat, sighed, and took out a big indigo purse and said with a smile: "I heard that Xiaoru led the team to participate in the competition today, and I, the aunt, prepared a congratulatory gift early...... Hee-hee, sister, look, after a while, I'll order someone to throw this bag of money on the ice! ”

Qiu Chen greeted the two of them with a smile, and quickly thought about it in his heart. Wang Shangshu is nearly sixty years old, the next generation of the Wang family is not amazingly talented, the eldest brother of Wang Jingshu, the eldest brother of the Wang family, has a son who is extremely smart, it is said that he is enlightened at the age of five, and he can read through the university at the age of six, and now he is just eleven years old, and he is ready to write articles...... The continuation of the Wang family has a fault, if you can't find effective support, to Wang Shangshu Zhishi, the grandson will not be able to come out...... If Wang Shangshu wants to find a support for his grandson, then the marriage of the two young ladies who have not yet come out of the cabinet is naturally the best chance.

Thinking of the Wang family's poetry and book heirloom, Wang Shangshu of the Criminal Department is also known as a clean and honest name, plus Wang Shangshu has many children, three sons and four daughters. Now the three sons have all married, and the eldest son is weak and has not been able to conduct scientific examinations; The second son was in the last scientific examination, but his ranking was worse, and he only got a three-rank fellow jinshi. The third son is a concubine, although he has been enlightened since he was a child, he is not as smart as the two sisters-in-law, and now he still has achieved nothing. With such a large population, he only counted on Wang Shangshu's fortune alone, and he knew that it was impossible to be too rich. Wang Jingshu's daily use can have such a situation, probably relying on her mother's strong dowry, it is said that there are seven or eight catties of shops, and there are a lot of benefits.

Qiu Chen's eyes swept over the two of them, although the clothes of the two were not rude, and Wang Jingshu's clothes were a little plain and restrained, but if you looked closely, you could see that Wang Jingshu's consistent clothes and utensils were not as luxurious as Song Xi'er's.

Both sides are very familiar with each other, and there are not so many false courtesies, after bending their knees to salute, Ah Manman greeted him with a bright face, and welcomed one in one hand, and walked to the front of the wooden couch, in addition to the big clothes on their bodies. Wang Jingshu rarely passed a pomegranate red embroidered butterfly wearing a flower gown, tied with a stone blue and silver silk embroidered four seasons of peace of the pleated skirt, the corner of the skirt is decorated with a colorful glazed double swallow, between actions, you can see the splendid red tasseled shoes everywhere occasionally show a line. Song Xi'er passed on a goose-yellow wide-sleeved narrow-waisted gown, lined with a red hibiscus and pearl skirt, tied with a flowing gold rainbow silk, a white jade ring is flawless, white and greasy, and the red hibiscus skirt is more and more like a bright moon.

Qiu Chen and Ah Man hurriedly got up to greet each other, and without taking two steps, Song Xi'er wore a big red feather satin rich flower blooming fox skin and took a bell, and Wang Jingshu, who was wearing a Doluo silver mouse cloak with indigo embroidered plum blossoms, walked side by side and walked in together.

After hearing Mama Zhao's words, Qiu Chen didn't feel at ease anymore, and he didn't go inside, turned back, and then took off the cloak on his body and handed it to Mama Lin, asked for warm water to wash, and was about to sit on the couch, when the little girl outside hurriedly came in and reported: "Miss Wang and Miss Song have arrived!" ”

Ah Fu's grandmother Zhao followed up and replied in a low voice: "Madam, everything is equipped for eating and drinking, the boys have prepared a set of cotton clothes and pants for each child, and the eldest prince has prepared cotton clothes and pants and cotton robes, as well as light boots for the game." When you come back from kicking the ball, you can change into lightweight, warm suede boots...... There is also a clean room for the eldest prince at the back, and it is also convenient to wash! ”

Qiu Chen smiled, "You guys sit down, I'm just coming over to see if everything is ready...... Play on the ice screen, tea and snacks are ready to be served! As he spoke, Qiu Chen placed a square wooden box on the table in the corner, with a small red cross painted on it, and he couldn't help but pick the corners of his mouth, completely relieved. Eating, drinking, and resting, even the medical kit has been prepared, which shows that Ah Fu and the boys are very neatly prepared.

"The little ones have seen the lady!"

In this shed, only the innermost corner and under the large table are placed in the smoker cage, the temperature is slightly cooler than the next door, but it is not cold. Qin Yong and Shen Hu sat on a bench drinking tea with a few guards and a few boys, and when they saw Qiu Chen coming over, they got up in a panic to salute.

Nodding secretly, Qiu Chen didn't take off his clothes in a hurry or sit down, but went straight around the screen and walked to the other half of the shed. I saw that there was no curtain here, it was much brighter, and the shed was not a wooden couch, but a square table in the middle, and a few official hat chairs on the four sides. Next to it are just a few spring stools, accompanied by two strips. In the corner was a large bucket of water and a burning stove, on which was a pot-bellied brass kettle, steaming from its mouth. There are still two large food boxes next to the stove, both engraved with the mark of the Jingbei Hou Mansion, which are the guys who serve lunch with Ah Fu and the boys.

It can be seen that several grandmothers and girls are in love.

Qiu Chen saw that Wei was so dedicated, glanced at it, and then turned his eyes away, and took the lead in sweeping around the shed, and saw that the wooden couch was covered with half-used begonias like brocade satin mattresses, couches, foot pedals, smoking cages, and incense burners...... All of them are complete, and there is even a Jun kiln carmine shaved shoulder beauty bottle on the high table in the corner of the wooden couch, and a simple and elegant plum is inserted in the bottle, and the wisps of plum fragrance seem to be absent, lingering at the end of the nose.

Her grandmother Wei hurriedly greeted her, stretched out her hand to stop Aman's movements, and comforted her softly: "Miss, slow down." I just came in from outside, and the cold hasn't dissipated yet, so except for the coat, it's easy to catch a cold! ”

Qiu Chen took Aman to his shed, and the three of Lin, Wei, and Afu's grandmother Zhao came up with a girl. As soon as he changed his restraint and quietness, Aman untied his cloak and said with a smile: "It's still easy to be in your own shed!" ”

Ah Fu came with Brother Yun at noon, and someone burned a few large charcoal basins in the shed early, although the weather was cold, it was still open, but the heating in the shed was smoky. After lunch, Mama Lin and Mama Wei came over one step ahead of time, and also used the quadruple screen of Zhangrong Magpie Dengmei to separate the shed into two rooms, and one was reserved for Ah Fu and the boys of the ice hockey team to rest and drink. Half of it is a slightly lower light wooden couch, and a curtain of cicada wing yarn is hung in front of it. In this way, the female dependents can watch the performance competition clearly and unhindered, but when they look inside from the outside, they can only see a layer of white veil and hazy figures, not to mention the appearance of the person, and even the figure cannot be seen clearly.

"Yes, thank you for your understanding!" Qiu Chen didn't say much, took Aman to bend his knees, and bowed to Concubine Li, and then withdrew from the shed of King Yong's mansion. Qin Yi and Qin Xiao were waiting outside the shed, and when they saw Miss Madam coming out, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, connecting the girls and mothers-in-law, hugging Miss Madame, bypassing the shed of King Yong's Mansion, and deflecting a little upward, which was the watch shed of their own Jingbei Hou Mansion.

"Those two are not outsiders either...... Wen said with a smile, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Li Shi, whose face was a little stiff, and he was holding on to a smile, his eyes were cold, and then he changed his words and said, "I originally wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to Madame, but since Madame invited guests, I won't delay you." Let's get closer to each other when we have a chance in the future! ”

Qiu Chen smiled: "Princess Wise, there is really nothing to hide from you." ”

Wen's smile faded a little just now, but his expression was still kind and relaxed, not as strict as usual: "Then let me guess who Madame invited...... But the son-in-law and sister-in-law of Wang Shangshu of the Criminal Department? ”

Qiu Chen naturally wanted to be humble for a few words, and then said with a smile: "The princess was invited, and she shouldn't have refused." However, the concubine had invited her to watch the game together, although it was a pity, but there was no way, so she had to be cheeky and beg the princess to forgive her sins! ”

The smile on Wen's face became a little thicker, and he looked at Qiu Chen and said, "Madam is blessed, the eldest girl is smart and generous, and her bearing is extraordinary, and she will not be overwhelmed in the future!" ”

As he spoke, he stuffed the fan into his sleeve, but he unceremoniously accepted it.

Ah Man's eyes lit up, and then he carefully put away the folding fan, put it into the fan bag, bowed down, and sincerely thanked: "Thank you princess for your generous gift!" ”

Wen Shi showed a look of satisfaction, nodded and said, "Yes, this is the "Crane Map" of Huizong of the previous dynasty!" ”

When Aman saw it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he couldn't put it down for a while, and raised his eyes to look at Princess Yong with bright eyes: "The little girl is clumsy, and she takes the liberty of guessing that this fan is from the hand of Huizong of the previous dynasty?" ”

The picture depicts the Xuande Gate of Bianliang surrounded by colorful clouds, the flying cranes hovering in the sky, and above the tail of the owl, there are two cranes standing, echoing each other. The picture only shows the backbone of the palace gate, highlighting the gathering of cranes, and the solemn sù Mu reveals a mysterious and auspicious atmosphere. This painting is a bold attempt in the history of Chinese painting by changing the traditional method of composition of conventional flower and bird paintings, and the cranes are all over the sky, and the eaves of the first line not only reflect the soaring cranes, but also give the picture a storyline. The painting technique is particularly exquisite, the fan surface of the cranes is like clouds and mist, and the posture is varied, and there is no one who has the same. What's more exciting, the sky is full of stone blue, thin halo glow, bright color, crane body powder ink writing, eyes with raw lacquer dot dye, suddenly make the whole picture full of vitality.

Unfold the fan and see that it is the "Crane Picture" of Huizong of the previous dynasty!

Aman took it with both hands, took the fan and bowed his hand, opened the fan bag on the spot, took out an old folding fan from the inside, and saw that the fan bone was black and swarthy with a faint matte, and the paper was also worn and yellowed. The point is that Aman has always been educated like a boy, and he doesn't care about gold and silver jewelry, but he likes things like a study room and a fan.

"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Tang. It's really rare, you little girl can actually get Mr. Tang's blue eyes, and accept them under the door, you can also know that you must be a really smart and really smart person. Wen praised it for a while, and then gestured with his eyes, and the mother-in-law who was waiting next to him held a splendid fan bag, and Wen said, "Since Mr. Tang takes a fancy to it, it must be a rare one." I'll give you this folding fan that I usually use! ”

"Mr.'s surname is Tang, just an inscription!" Aman replied with a smile.

"Oh, what did the big girl read? Who is Mr. You? Wen, who has always been indifferent, listened to Aman's knowledge of scriptures and books, but he was interested, and couldn't help but ask a few questions in a row.

Ah Man got up with a smile, without any restraint, looked up at Wen generously, and said with a smile: "Sir greatly admires the princess's knowledge, and has urged Xiaojie more than once, taking the princess as an example. Xiaojie has long thought that she will have a chance and be trained by the princess. ”

"Xiaojie has seen the princess, please say hello to the princess!" Aman bowed his knees, and Wen immediately raised his hand to avoid the salute.

Ah Man lowered his eyes, looked well-behaved, bent his knees to Li's, and then, Li's intuition slipped under his hand, and the little girl's hand had slipped away, and then, the little girl was generous, and stepped forward to greet Wen with a smile.

Qiu Chen looked upset, and was about to pull Aman to refuse Li's 'reward', but Wen, who was sitting on the upper hand, said lightly: "This girl is getting more and more prominent. Come on, come forward and let me see! ”

As he spoke, he was about to remove a red gold shrimp bracelet from his wrist......

Li Shi obviously refused to let Qiu Chen go, and saw that Qiu Chen was unmoved by her flattery, so he smiled, crossed Qiu Chen, took Ah Man's hand standing behind Qiu Chen, and said in a slurp: "I only thought that Mrs. was outstanding before, but when I saw the eldest girl, I knew what it means to be blue." Tsk, look at this little Yuxue cute, it really hurts to death. ”

As a side concubine, Li Shi showed such affection in front of the main concubine Wen, did she really think that she could ignore the Wen family who was born with a noble birth when she gave birth to her eldest son? At this time, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed up, and he was also stupid if he was high-spirited. Instead of competing for favor without knowing the so-called, it is better to be low-key and cautious and teach your children well.

Qiu Chen smiled faintly, "Concubine Li is too famous. ”

"Ouch, hurry up, where can you afford the lady's courtesy!" The Li family was much warmer than the Wen family, and without waiting for Qiu Chen's mother and daughter to bend their knees and salute, they hurriedly asked people to step forward to support her, and she herself immediately got up and walked down, stretched out her hand to pull Qiu Chen and said with a smile, "Madame is so happy that the triplets are really blessed and enviable." Now seeing that Mrs. is face is still the same, and her demeanor is like that, it is really surprising, I don't know how Mrs. maintains it so well, standing with the girl is like two sisters. Oh, now that I see Mrs. today, take this opportunity, Wan Niang has to ask Mrs. with a thick face, Mrs. will not dislike Wan Niang is annoying, right? ”

The two palace maids beside her hurriedly stepped forward to help, but Qiu Chen saluted and thanked Ah Man, and then got up. turned to bow to the side concubine Li Shi's knees.

Wen Shi watched Qiu Chen's mother and daughter salute, and then raised his hand with a smile: "Mrs. Jingbei Hou Mo Duoli, don't hurry up and help up!" ”

Qiu Chen walked in with An Lu and took Aman to salute Princess Yong and the side concubines.

As An Lu went all the way to the shed of King Yong's Mansion, he saw that a four-sided double-sided embroidered bird screen was placed in the middle of the shed, separating the seats of male and female guests.

But Qiu Chen made an appointment with Wang Jingshu and Song Xi'er, so naturally he couldn't go to King Yong's Mansion to sit. In addition, Qiu Chen has no shortage of clairvoyance in his hands, and he doesn't care much about the front and back of the shed. Moreover, Princess Yong's Wen family is dignified and reserved, the most disciplined, and stubborn and a little rigid, Qiu Chen and Princess Yong's Wen family are always not cordial. Not to mention King Yong's side concubine.

The Jingbei Hou Mansion also has a shed, but naturally it can't be compared with the shed in the Yongwang Mansion. Not to mention that the shed of Yongwangfu is in the first row, the location is also positive, so you can see the ice hockey game more clearly.

An Lu accompanied Qiu Chen's mother and daughter with a smile on his face, bowed slightly and smiled: "Madam, our princess and princess are all inside, let the little one come and wait, and ask Madame to go to the shed of the palace." The sun is leeward over there, and you can see it clearly......"

Qin Yi and Qin Xiao were also waiting beside him, and at this time, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and greet him, and hurriedly got up to escort his wife and eldest lady inside.

Qiu Chen threw the copper hand stove in his hand into An Ren's hand, turned his head and watched Aman get out of the car, wrapped the cloak on her body tightly, she raised her hand and pulled Aman's hood down, and then wrapped her cloak tightly and walked inside.

"It's freezing this day, why are you waiting here!" It sounded like a complaint, but it was genuinely concerned, which warmed the heart of An Ying, who was freezing and aching. "Take this for me!"

Qiu Chen already knew that An Yan was a poor child, and he was castrated at the age of seven......

Jingbei Hou Mansion has its own shed in the ice theater, as soon as the carriage of the mother and daughter entered the West Garden, they saw Yang Jingyong's side An Rong waiting there, frozen with a blue mouth and white face, shrunk his neck, rubbed his hands, and stretched his neck from time to time to look, at a glance saw the carriage of Jingbei Hou Mansion, immediately burst out with joy on his face, hurriedly greeted him, personally arranged the footstool for Qiu Chen's mother and daughter, asked for peace with a smile, and then raised his hand to stroke Qiu Chen and Aman out of the car.

After lunch, Qiu Chen took Aman out with him. Both mother and daughter wore cloaks, and the hoods were low, covering almost the entire head and face, but there was no need to wear a fence.

After a small disagreement, the mother and daughter reached an agreement again, and they both lowered their voices to discuss, and soon Aman confidently promised: "Mother, you can rest assured, Aman is out of the horse, foolproof." ”

Looking at his mother's eyes full of concern and worry, although Aman was still a little disappreciative in his heart, he still agreed kindly: "Mother, I promise you." ”

He also deliberately admonished: "Man'er, Gu poison is a double-edged sword, before giving Gu to others, you must first feed Gu with your body, and besides, Gu poison also has a backlash, if you are not careful, you will put yourself in it." Promise your mother, don't touch that kind of thing, no matter what the situation! ”

"Silly girl," Qiu Chen pulled his daughter to sit down beside him, stretched out his hand to pull the broken hair between his daughter's forehead, and said with a faint smile, "In this matter, we are sincere, but we can't be reluctant, as the old saying goes, 'a twisted melon is not sweet'." In order to avoid embarrassment on both sides, my mother remembered the meaning of letting you test Jingshu, if she also has the intention, at least she will not resist, and then we will go to the Wang family to propose marriage......"

Aman's gaze met his mother's calm, tolerant and warm eyes, as if searching, as if confirming, and then held his mother's hand back and burst into a bright smile: "Mother, I was wrong!" ”

Regarding his mother's words, Aman still can't play safe understanding. But the mother's explanation of holding hands, as well as the earnest hope in her eyes, undoubtedly succeeded in evacuating the grievances in Aman's heart.

Rubbing the thin cocoon on his daughter's palm, Qiu Chen raised his eyes to his daughter's big misty eyes, and said solemnly: "Whether it is your cousins or your brothers and sisters, I hope you can have your own happiness and contentment." However, people's happiness and fulfillment can only be exchanged for sincerity, and they can't think of cheating with anything else, so even if two people can stay together for the rest of their lives, I don't think it's worth blessing. ”

The aggrieved appearance of her daughter made the worry and even anger in Qiu Chen's heart dissipate in an instant, and only reluctance and distress filled his heart. She sighed softly, reached out to hold her daughter's hands, and subconsciously kneaded her daughter's soft fingers, the middle finger and the thin cocoon of the palm of the tiger's mouth, representing her daughter's efforts and persistence in Wen and Wu.

Aman never expected that his mother not only knew about Gu techniques, but also reacted so violently, and when he was taken aback, his face was full of grievances, and a little tear appeared in his eyes in disbelief.

Surprised and worried, Qiu Chen's face couldn't help but change, and his face turned cold: "What nonsense!" ”

As soon as he heard Aman mention Gu Technique, with a smile on his face and a look of indifference, Qiu Chen was inevitably frightened, and his heart was completely occupied by heavy worries. The daughter does not care about other people's bodies and even lives in her heart, and regards human life as a mustard, is her three views crooked? In the future, will there be extreme events that the world will not tolerate?

Qiu Chen's understanding of Gu art is mostly from ancient classics and modern novels, films and television, and in her cognition, Gu art is an extremely vicious and extremely evil thing. And, as a modern person, she respects the freedom and rights of the individual. It is not said that a marriage must be based on love, but at least on the basis of free and voluntariness. And Gu art is undoubtedly a shackle and shackle imposed on other people's minds and bodies, which is contrary to Qiu Chen's philosophy.

In Aman's mind, something like 'Yixin Gu' has some little pink beauty, and it is the bond of adult beauty, and it has nothing to do with evil and viciousness. Because she likes her eldest cousin Junwen and Wang Jingshu very much, she will propose this construction.

Since she was a child, she knew that her mother knew how to use medicine to Qi Huang, but Miao Jiang's Gu technique was a secret that would not be passed on, if it weren't for her own master and Miao Jiang's great sacrifice who had a life-saving relationship, she would not have known about it, and she also made an exception to get a part of the inheritance. In fact, what she obtained was not a complete inheritance, and some Gu techniques were regarded as forbidden techniques, and they were not allowed to be used in Miao Jiang unless there were special circumstances. And Gu techniques such as 'Yixin Gu' cannot be said to be well-known in Miao Jiang, and it is not uncommon, it is a number of Miao girls and boys in order to get Yixin people are keen to learn and use.

Aman looked at his mother's stunned appearance, and was a little proud.
