Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Sound of Books (I)
That night, Liu Qin saw his father, in front of his father, mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law, Liu Qin told everyone that he wanted the maid who was waiting to go to the school to learn words and read together, and after listening to her words, the family reacted differently.
The old lady disagreed, and felt that Liu Qin had been obedient for two days, and then began to mess around again.
The eldest brother Liu Cheng felt that the little sister was ghostly, and the ghost ideas were one after another, which was difficult to resist, and he still breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that it was his sister, if he was his own daughter, he really couldn't hold it as a father, and Uncle Liu didn't find that he was off topic at all. As for the sister-in-law Cai Xinlan, she was really surprised, such a lady like her, let alone the idea of studying with her subordinates, she just didn't think about it, at most she would teach her personal maid to recognize some words, but she is very smart, in this family, there are parents-in-law and husbands, and when it comes to the little sister, she will never say anything that she doesn't like.
Only Master Liu looked at Liu Qin very solemnly for a while, thought for a while and asked, "Can your teacher agree?" β
Liu Qin looked at her father with wide eyes, with a look of admiration, "The teacher said that as long as my father agrees, it's okay." β
"That's okay, just do what we Qin'er said."
As soon as Master Liu's voice fell, it attracted the opposition of the old lady, "Master, how can it be done, it is not in accordance with the rules, and besides, the girls and the little girls all go to study, not to mention who does the affairs of each courtyard, it is not good to cause dissatisfaction in the house." β
"Qin'er, what your mother said is right, what do you say about these problems?"
Knowing that his father was testing himself, Liu Qin's eyes rolled, and he deliberately said in a milky voice: "It's just a little bit in the morning, I can't delay doing things, if other people in the house also want to learn, as long as I finish doing things, I can listen to them on the side, the teacher said that it's always good to know more truth." β
"This, this ......" Although the old lady was speechless to deal with, she still did not let go. In the end, it was Master Liu who persuaded: "Madam, it's not a big deal, just follow Qin'er, if it really affects the daily life of the house, it's not too late for you to come forward." β
The old lady didn't say anything more, Liu Qin climbed down from her father's lap, threw herself into the old lady's arms, and coaxed her mother for a while, then smiled and said, "Mother, sister-in-law, can you let Sister Bai and her grandmother and brother go into the house to do things?" β
"Sister Bai? Who is Sister White? The old lady was confused.
"The last time I recognized it on the street, the news of the second brother was still said by Sister Bai, Daddy knows about this, Daddy, isn't it?"
Master Liu smiled and nodded, Jiang Li explained Bai Rong'er's situation one by one on the side, the old lady and Cai's listened to it, and they both sighed for Bai Rong'er's experience, but Cai's still said with some embarrassment: "There are enough people everywhere in the house, and it is said that there are not too many pairs of chopsticks for three more people, and it doesn't hurt to have more than a few pairs of chopsticks, but her grandmother is old, and the errand is not easy to arrange. β
"Okay, you can arrange it." The old lady patted Liu Qin's little head, "Speaking of which, this Zhuangzi will also be given to Qin'er in the future, if this Bai Rong'er is a capable person, she can also become a helper in the future." β
Zhuangzi? My Zhuangzi? Liu Qin blinked, do you want to let my mother give Zhuangzi to me now, forget it, don't be so greedy, I have made two requests today, if I open my mouth again, I am afraid that my mother will turn her face.
After doing two major things, Liu Qin's heart was full of joy, and she jumped and jumped all the way back to Meiyuan, but when she told SΓΉ Cuiliu Cuiyu such good news, the reaction of the two was really frustrating.
Cuiliu's face was full of disbelief, and she stammered when she spoke, "Girl, are you a slave...... Slaves go to school? β
"Yes, you and Cui Yu will go."
Cui Yu couldn't see the happy appearance at all, and said with a bitter face: "Alas, girl, don't toss the slaves and maids, if the slaves and maids are the materials for reading, Hai Ge'er can be lifted, and the slaves and maids don't go, just serve the girls by the side, okay?" After speaking, he muttered in a low voice, "It's better to play around when you have that time."
Cuiliu heard Cuiyu say that, and said in embarrassment: "Otherwise, the slave and maid won't go, the slave and maid are too old, and sitting with the girl and brother will make people laugh." β
Liu Qin was full of joy to be hit by these two people, and she wanted to forget it, not forcing them, but Cui Yu's attitude made her angry, what's the matter, my sister is looking at the love that has been with you for many years since childhood, so I have found such a good welfare for you, Cui Yu, you don't know how to be grateful, but also said that sister tossed you, okay, toss it, sister has to toss you to death.
Thinking of this, Liu Qin put on a small face and said very strictly: "Sister Cuiliu, who dares to laugh at you in the house, don't you keep saying that your family is poor when you are young, and you are especially envious that the children next door can study?" He also advised me to be diligent, and now that my father and mother have agreed, why don't you go? β
Cuiliu opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say, she did take the hour to tell the girl, but that was not to make the girl no longer lazy, but, thinking about it, the hour was indeed quite envious.
Liu Qin turned his head to Cui Yu and became stricter, "Cui Yu, you don't go, okay, but in the future, the affairs of Meiyuan will be yours, and Sister Cuiliu's affairs will also be yours." β
"This, this ......" Cui Yu also opened her mouth, and after struggling for a long time, she reluctantly expressed her attitude, "Slave maid, slave maid should go, but, girl, you know that slave and maid are stupid, if the slave and maid do not learn well, you have to help the slave and maid say good things to the master, will it?" β
"No problem, it's not for you to take the top prize, what are you nervous about."
Liu Qin clapped her hands happily, and the two of them relaxed when they heard her say this, and they looked forward to the arrival of tomorrow.
The next day, it was a rare sunny day, the gentle sun shone on the earth, dispelling the chill that had accumulated for days, and the industrious birds began to come out early, and the sound of birdsong, coupled with the sound of people walking around the house, greetings, and laughter, added endless vitality to this winter morning.
At the right time, everyone has gathered in the Xuanlu, Zhou Fuzi is still sitting in the front seat, the front row, three formal students, Jiang Li on the left, a little farther away, Liu Qin and Hai Ge'er on the right, the back row, six supernumerary students, Liu Qin and Hai Ge'er behind, two people in a row, sitting in three rows, Dongxiang Dongping, Changxing Changsheng, Cuiliu Cuiyu.
Zhou Fuzi was not displeased because there were a few more students who had no status, he was still as kind as usual, and when everyone was seated, he began to teach the first poem of the new lesson "Three Hundred Ancient Poems".
"The late days are beautiful, and the spring breeze is fragrant with flowers and plants. The mud melts and flies the swallows, and the sand warms the mandarin ducks. β
After reading it twice, Zhou Fuzi used the most understandable language to tell you the meaning of the poem, "You can imagine that the green mountains and green waters are bathed in spring, so beautiful, the spring breeze brings the fragrance of flowers and plants, the swallows are busy building nests with wet mud, and pairs of mandarin ducks are sleeping on the warm sand......"
Everyone was attracted by the beautiful scenery depicted by Zhou Fuzi, and there seemed to be a beautiful picture in front of them, the spring breeze warmed, the fragrance of flowers hit people, swallows shuttled, and mandarin ducks lying opposite, what a desirable spring, as if taking a breath, it was the breath of spring.
Master Zhou mobilized everyone's interest in learning very lightly, and even Cuiliu, who had always been embarrassed to keep her head down, raised her head and looked at him with burning eyes.
