Chapter VII Learning

The morning sun was just right, and Qiong'er, who was dressed in a pale green silk skirt, sat on the steps with Huan'er's hand, commanding Zhai to smear and knead the lamb with various mixed spices, and muttered excitedly in his mouth, "The sheep in this year are delicious, the meat is tender, easy to roast, and there is no smell, and some honey is the most important thing to taste!" ”

Huan'er is young, and when she heard the princess say that this whole sheep eats it, she couldn't bear it anymore, and her face was full of eyes and hearts looking forward to this whole sheep to be tasted!

Zhen came to the courtyard lightly, and looked at the few people in the courtyard who were tossing in full swing, "Princess, it's time for class!" ”

Qiong'er sat there motionless and pointed to the left and right excitedly, as if she hadn't heard it, but Huan'er glanced back at Zhen'er, pulled Qiong'er's sleeve and said, "Princess, Master Zhen called you to class!" ”

Although Huan'er is only six years old, she has lived with the Zhai family in the Tianliu Mountain area since she was a child, where there are many mixed Loulan, Yue Dynasty and Beibi people, so the little girl can basically say a little.

"Oh? Class? Qiong'er turned her head to look at the woman behind her in surprise, stood up and slapped the new silk dress, smiled at Zhen, pointed to the whole sheep and continued to explain in Loulan dialect, "Master Zhen, this is to be eaten at night, so it will be marinated now, and it will be fine immediately." After speaking, he turned his head and continued to direct Zhai's movements.

Xiao Huan'er hurriedly explained to Master Zhen what the princess meant.

Zhen nodded with a faint face and no special expression, and stood quietly behind and waited. She also heard about the origin of this princess, and the purpose of the old lady sending her here was also revealed to Mama Yun, that is, she wanted to detain people in the courtyard and not go out to make trouble. So as long as the princess does not ask to go out of the courtyard, she will not speak. As for the time for class, I stayed in the courtyard of the Quartet all day, and there was time.

An hour later, Zhen took the satisfied Qiong'er and Huan'er into the small hall and began formal teaching.

Since arriving in this courtyard yesterday, the Zhen family has tried this princess of Loulan several times, but everyone has not heard of it, or they are ignorant, and it seems that they really don't understand the words of the Yue Dynasty. Her own lessons can only be like teaching children, so that she can learn from the simplest pronunciation.

Fortunately, Huan'er was there, and after that, Zhai finished packing up the mutton, dried it and came to the small hall to wait, and served as an interpreter for Qiong'er at any time.

Qiong'er has been disciplined by her grandmother when she was young, and she knows that she can't contact the people under the mountain, so except for her brother's house, she has been wandering in the mountains and forests. There is also a cottage in the mountain, which is the residence of the mountain king, and the dome never dares to go over to provoke them. Occasionally, when they came down the mountain, she just hid in the trees, holding her breath and waiting for them to leave before she reappeared.

So Qiong'er's Moon Dynasty dialect is basically learned from Mama and Brother Heizi since childhood, and sometimes when she goes down the mountain to pick up rags, she will pick up some books, and when she sees words she doesn't understand, she asks Brother Heizi to pass the time. Although Brother Kuroko is a poor boy and lives with a blind mother-in-law at the foot of the village outside the mountain, I heard that when he was a child, he was still a child of a rich family, and he knew a lot of words in school.

Kuroko's brother's house

Qiong'er held a brush and wrote her name crookedly, but her heart was full of longing.

The blind mother-in-law is not uncommon, she started from the first sentence of Loulan dialect when the little dome opened her mouth, and she was from the Hulan clan of the Loulan Yin family in her last life, and Loulan dialect is a compulsory course since childhood. So in the days when she started with Xiao Baozi, Qiong'er was cautious until she confirmed that she still had blue eyes and the tattoos on her arms, and then she began to open her mouth to speak.

It was only then that she discovered that Mama always wanted to strangle herself, and the blind mother-in-law no longer felt pity for herself. Except for Brother Kuroko, who always hugged herself and taught herself word by word to speak the words of the Moon Dynasty, she didn't dare to speak. Later, the grandmother was gone, and her life was difficult, and the little six or seven-year-old children could not hunt yet, so they could only occasionally dig some wild vegetables to fill their stomachs. Fortunately, Brother Kuroko brought him some food every day, and he lived safely until now.

"Princess, it's time to learn to be a female red!" Master Zhen stood aside, looking at the cousin who had fallen into a homesick state, sitting there blankly, drawing strange creatures with her brush.

Qiong'er woke up suddenly, looking at the turtle that looked like a dog in his pen, silently!

If he doesn't come to himself, he's not even a turtle anymore!

Follow Master Zhen to the courtyard, where the sun is abundant, and it doesn't take your eyes to be a female celebrity. Master Zhen took out a small needlework basket, which contained various colored threads, and a square white juanpa did not have any markings.

Master Zhen's hands are very skillful, and in just a few moments, he used a needle and thread to outline a pair of red flowers and green grass on the white handkerchief, which complemented each other.

Qiong'er took the same square Bai Juan and looked at it, and used red and green lines. Clearly smiled, actually wore two needles, the red line and the green line at the same time up and down the needle, interspersed with this thread, one starts, one intersperses and then goes to the needle, one Bai Juan's upper and lower two sides of the picture slowly formed in his hand.

Zhen originally planned to teach the princess a simple sketch to pass the day, but he didn't expect that the princess in this land of wind and sand would be proficient in double-sided embroidery skills?

Looking at the double-sided red-flower-green sketch that was completed in only a quarter of an hour, rubbing against the concave and convex surface, Zhen's faint expression was a little cracked.

"The princess has learned embroidery before?" I couldn't hold back in the end, and asked after a few turns around my mouth.

Huan'er's immature voice translated the question for Qiong'er, and her eyes were full of worship.

Qiong'er smiled heartily and pointed to the embroidered handkerchief, "Our women in Loulan have to sew carpets and tapestries, and they have to shuttle back and forth on both sides, so that the carpet is thick enough and velvety, and it is comfortable to step on it!" Weaving double-sided clothes, wearing them inside and out, is equivalent to wearing two pieces, which is beautiful and affordable! ”

This is really not a boast, in the Hulan family, everyone has excellent skills, and these female workers are traditional projects. The tapestries and carpets of the Hulan family are priceless, because their own craftsmanship is rarely passed on to the outside world. The traditional costumes of the Hulan family can only be sewn by these women, and the skills have never been passed on.

This sentence is too complicated, and Huan'er can't understand it. Zhai smiled and helped the princess translate to Zhen, and was not surprised to see Master Zhen's surprise, as well as a trace of pity and sympathy. chuckled in his heart, it seems that this Master Zhen doesn't know much about the customs of Biansai, and he doesn't know that this kind of skill is not for everyone to learn. The most despised craftsman in the Moon Dynasty is the family heirloom skill of the most respected nobles in Loulan!
