Chapter 21 About the practice of calligraphy
When she was in the countryside, she was also used to being casual, and playing around in the fields was basically commonplace, but now when she arrived in the capital, she was locked up in a small courtyard all day long, where could she sit. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And it's the capital, there are novelties everywhere, she asked herself a little dirty bun, and she naturally wanted to take a good walk in such a big city.
"Still quibbling!" Gu Yuanniang was angry, her eyes glanced to the side, and she saw Cailian with her head down.
"Cailian, I asked you to take good care of Miss Four, but not only did you not know how to persuade you, but now it's okay, and you ran out with her?" Thinking of Cailian's identity from the palace, Gu Yuanniang didn't say anything too ugly, if she had been replaced by an ordinary maid at home, she would have been punished directly.
Cai Lian followed Gu Siniang out and thought that she would definitely be punished when she came back, and when she heard this, she knelt on the ground hurriedly, "The slave knows her mistake, please punish Mrs." ”
She is not a stupid girl, no matter how low the background of the Wei family is, but the three words of Wei Guogong were given by the saint himself, and Gu Yuanniang also got the title of a good order.
Not to mention anything else, just a title, how many women in Beijing can't earn it in their lifetime.
Cai Lian is just a little maid who comes out with the name of a person in the palace, she has always been cautious in her duty, and when she saw Gu Yuanniang angry, she did not defend herself, but directly admitted her mistake.
"Eldest sister, Cailian went out with me, don't be angry with her, punish me if you want to punish her." Gu Siniang has a bit of a taste of righteousness.
She has never been very righteous, she used to pit people in Lotus Village, and now she doesn't pit lotus, it is really because she has to rely on the jackpot of lotus picking in many things after she first arrived.
Gu Yuanniang was angry when she saw her hippie smiling face, "No, you think you can run away by yourself, and you will be cleaned up later." ”
"Eldest sister, you can spare Cailian, I can't be punished." She rushed towards Gu Yuanniang, hugged her and didn't let go, desperately coquettish, "Eldest sister, you are the best, except for my mother, you are the best for me." ”
Gu Yuanniang couldn't pull her away for a long time, and couldn't help but say angrily, "Why are you like a dog skin plaster." ”
"I'm a dog skin plaster, and my mother says the same about me at home." Gu Siniang can't do other kung fu over the years, but she has no face and no skin, but she is very self-taught.
Gu Yuanniang was laughed at by her in the end, and in the end, Cai Lian was only punished to sweep the yard, and Gu Siniang's side was not so easy.
Gu Yuanniang found a complete set of copybooks and came back, and asked her to write a hundred pages in three days to finish the work.
She complained again and again, just her few words, she still relied on her own little aura of passing through women over the years, and what she learned was barely able to be called literate.
The Gu family also asked a few gentlemen to teach her, but in the end they all shook their heads, in general, she was not talented and not hardworking, and she was a rotten wood.
Gu Siniang wanted to get by, but seeing Gu Yuanniang's calm face, she still dispelled this idea, and sighed while writing with a pen.
Outside the house, Ju Xiang and Cai Lian were lying at the door and poked their heads into the house.
"Miss Four, what's the matter, I've sighed all morning." Ju Xiang didn't understand it very much, and it stands to reason that the punishment for writing is the lightest.
The women in Beijing can basically write a beautiful hairpin, which is inseparable from their daily efforts. Practicing dozens of characters every day is the most basic, and some are particularly hardworking, and they can write hundreds of big characters a day.
Gu Siniang's punishment took three days to write a hundred, which really couldn't be lighter.
"What's the matter, don't you see that Miss Fourth doesn't like to write?" At first, Cai Lian also thought that this Miss Gu Si, who was born in the countryside, was very fond of reading.
At that time, she spent more than three months from Lianhua Village to the capital, and she spent most of the time reading books with her hands.
Later, when she was packing up her books, she accidentally turned a page and realized that the names and contents of these books were completely different.
This is deliberately done to get by.
And when she brought tea into the house, the master was very complaining with a pen, how to say the font, I can only say that the writing is right, and it is absolutely not good looking.
Gu Siniang is working hard to write, how did she know that she was picking lotus, and the two of them were unlearned masters in their hearts, if she knew, maybe she would be sad and angry for a while, and then continue to do her own thing.
Writing for three days, Gu Siniang stayed up late at night, and then she barely handed over, Gu Yuanniang said that if she found that she didn't write seriously and passed the test in confusion, she would be punished for writing again.
Of course she didn't want to do it again, so it really was the first time in her life that she had written so seriously.
It's like the feeling of a child handing in homework, a little nervous, and a little excited.
Over there, Gu Yuanniang looked at these things she wrote, and sighed deeply after a long time, her sister's handwriting was not as good as hers.
The Gu family is poor, Gu Yuanniang spent most of her time helping the family when she was a child, but fortunately, Gu Sizhuang is literate and hyphenated, so several children of the Gu family have learned a few words since they were young, at least their names can be written.
But that's all, the daughter of a peasant family is destined to earn a living in the fields in the future, and it is useless to learn so much.
Gu Yuanniang only realized after marrying Wei Youguang that she knew and learned very little, although the Wei family had a simple population, there were also a lot of things, the production of the family's grange and the income of the shop, many things she only needed to know.
First of all, to learn to read accounts, you have to know words, she was forced to be unable to do anything, so she could only hold books day and night to force herself to know these crooked words.
Later, when I knew the word, I had to learn to write it, as the housewife, it was also a face to be able to write a good hand.
Although she started late, she is better than being diligent, and after practicing for a few years, she has also gained some appearance, although there is a gap between her and those who have been reading and writing since childhood, but it is enough to be a businessman's wife.
Since the Wei family was developed, she became the Duchess of Wei, and she had more socializing and more places to write, so she focused on contacting for a while.
I haven't thrown it away until now, and there is always an hour every day to take it out and write.
But Gu Siniang's writing is really not the same, and there are a few complicated ones that are like earthworm crawling.
"Don't be greedy for fun in the future, practice for two hours every day with the calligraphy I gave you." Gu Yuanniang took a deep breath and added, "If you don't practice well, you are not allowed to go out." ”
Gu Siniang only felt that it was a bolt from the blue, and if she didn't practice well, she was not allowed to go out, then she might not be able to go out in her life.
"Big sister."
"It's useless to call anything, hurry back and practice calligraphy." Gu Yuanniang slapped the table again.
Gu Siniang returned to Bishui Pavilion dejectedly with the results she had written in three days.
