Chapter 12: Comparison
In the past few days, Lanxi's life has been simple and happy, every day, just to go to the old lady and the third wife to say goodbye, and the rest of the time, eat and drink, write, and do needlework. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On this day, when Lanxi went to Songquan Courtyard to ask for peace, she brought Hua'er and Ming'er to the courtyard gate, Lanxi followed the vase that came to welcome her into the bright room, Hua'er took the needlework and thread from the mothers and sisters of Songquan Courtyard, and Ming'er's pocket was full of sugar cubes, and she smiled and walked towards the row of people behind the main courtyard.
At the same time, Fangcao went to the eldest lady's Boming Courtyard, found her sister Qingchuan, and whispered.
At night, after reporting one by one, Lan Xi was quite satisfied with the results of the three little girls' first battles, and asked Pillow Moon to take three silver peanuts and reward them separately.
"As long as the people in my house do their errands with their hearts, I will naturally not treat her badly."
A few little girls hurriedly collected the joy on their faces and curtsied their knees.
"Thank you, girl."
"Go down! Listen to the instructions of your two sisters, Pillow Moon and Liuyan, and do their respective errands well. Prepare more food in the tea room, and when you go out to have fun with your sisters, it's not good to be empty-handed. Don't save those things, as long as you can get back what I want, no matter how much, I will carry them for you. ”
"Yes, girl."
Pillow Yue led the three little girls down, and Lan Xi groaned.
"The one who is waiting by Ah Jiu's side is called catkins, isn't it? Catkins ......"
"Grandmother, since my granddaughter is already well, I want to go to school tomorrow."
After a few days of asking for peace, he didn't meet his sisters, and Lan Xi remembered about going to school in hindsight. A scholarly family like Qingyang Lan naturally has its own family learning. Although she is a girl, she also hires several gentlemen to teach literature, needlework, etiquette, talent, and cooking, and only has one day off for every ten days of class.
Today happened to be Xiu Mu's turn, Lan Xi rubbed Mrs. Lan's shoulders obediently, and at the same time took the opportunity to mention it. Before the words fell, there were already several pairs of eyes over there, and the two of them were hot, needless to say, except for Lan Yun, who didn't think about it as a second person.
I really don't know where I offended Lan Yun, but Lan Xi also knows that Lan Yun is afraid that she will never be a good sister to her for the rest of her life. I just thought of her being sisters with Lan Yun...... Lan Xi couldn't help but shiver with a chill.
"Oh?"
Mrs. Lan raised her eyebrows, since Lanxi's "illness", this school has rarely set foot in this school, even if it is a good time, it is three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, today is rare, she actually mentioned the matter of going to school by herself, but it is a good thing.
"Now that I'm cured, it's time to go to school. It's just Sister Xi, you remember your grandmother's words, this girl, just recognize the words, those sour poems don't get into your heart, it's not a good way to be sad all day long! ”
Mrs. Lan's words are not groundless, Lan Xi in her previous life did have a bit of sadness in her bones, Lan Xi couldn't help but be a little scolded, but Lan Yun snorted lightly, obviously gloating for Lan Xi being beaten.
"Grandmother, granddaughter knows! Definitely put more effort into needlework, etiquette and cooking! ”
Lan Xi is no longer the girl in the boudoir who didn't know the world before, she has been married, in charge of the family, as a relative of the emperor, and has dealt with all kinds of women in the house, she already knows what she should learn and be good at.
As Mrs. Lan said, a lesson in literature focuses on literacy and reasoning, poetry or something, can understand the basic level, go out to participate in the poetry meeting between the ladies or something, and it is enough not to make jokes. Talent is just the icing on the cake for the women of the family, and it is easy to end up flashy if there are more, and there are one or two things that can be used.
Of course, when they grow up, the first two years of marriage, will be taught by the elders of the family to deal with family affairs. These are all afterwords, so I won't say them here.
In short, Lan Xi achieved his goal and smiled and bent his eyebrows. In fact, after hearing two gossips about the third master from Ming'er yesterday, Lan Xi had to admit that she had no power or power, and if she wanted to stop everything and live well in Lan Mansion, in addition to her grandmother, it was also necessary to hug her father's thigh.
And since you want to hug your father's thigh, you naturally have to do what you like. In my impression, the father likes learned people very much, although she can't behave too much, she is treated as a monster and burned with dog blood, but it makes her father think she is a studious, this is the least, right?
Walking out of Songquan Courtyard, Lanxi looked up to the sky and smiled. It's really a sunny sky, and the autumn is crisp, it's really good weather!
"Fifth sister is so beautiful today!"
Lan Ying tilted her little head and blinked her eyes, and her appearance made people's hearts soft. It's a pity that the people in Lanxi don't know that later generations have an apt description for this appearance, called cute, otherwise, I'm afraid that everyone will sigh, it's really a cute little Lori who can't pay for her life.
"Yes! Although the fifth sister's body is plain, it is rare to be elegant. ”
Even the second Lan girl, Lan Xiang, who has always been quiet, rarely praised it.
Lan Xi looked down at the clothes on his body, naturally they were from the hand of Pillow Yue, he was still in the filial piety period, so he naturally couldn't wear them too brightly, and it took a lot of effort to put in this clothes.
The water blue cross-collar shirt on the top, the half-arm of the lotus color weaving dark pattern, the white thread skirt under the bottom, the color matching is like a clear Ling Ling lotus, and several different blue-green silk threads are also used, embroidered with a full skirt, different shades of lotus leaves, isn't it elegant? It's a pity that Lanxi is only nine years old now, and his body has not grown taller, and there is no curve to speak of, and what stands out is only the ingenuity of this color matching and the embroidery of the pillow moon.
"Yes! This color can only be lined up by the fifth sister! Lan Yun smiled and praised, but the tone didn't sound right, "Fifth sister, if it's your work, Mother Yan will see it tomorrow, and you will have to praise it, but it's a pity ......" It's a pity, everyone present knows it. Lanxi has always been arrogant, and he doesn't look at these female red needles in his eyes, he has less effort on weekdays, and it is surprising that he can embroider a smooth stitch, what kind of embroidery are you talking about? As for Lan Yun..... The eyeballs dripped, and gently pulled the sachet embellished around the waist, the snow-blue plain silk was the bottom, and two peonies were embroidered on it, but because of the filial piety period, the color was not too prominent, and the silver thread was used, one was blooming, and one was budding, which was the embroidery of Lan Yun, although the tone was not bright, but it was more than two points of ingenuity. Although the work is not very outstanding, at her age, it is not bad.
