Chapter 8: The Temptation of Sisters
Shu Chengye is a very conscientious and responsible father, he promised to teach Shu Manyao calligraphy and painting, and sent a calligraphy and two famous paintings on the same day. Calligraphy is to be practiced every day, and painting is to see if Shu Manyao has that talent.
The homework assigned by Shu Chengye is to write twenty big characters every day, and then appreciate those two paintings, and write his own understanding every day, and he has to write different every day.
Shu Manyao really had never been exposed to these in his previous life, but he had secretly practiced calligraphy and painted in private, but after being ridiculed by Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu sisters, she didn't dare to let her grandmother know, and she persisted for three or five days before giving up.
In this life, she has made up her mind to have a skill, although the female celebrity is good, but with her current family background, she doesn't have to do needlework every day after getting married. Besides, she felt that her female celebrity was also very haode, and she didn't have to waste time learning at all.
In her previous life, she also felt that what her grandmother said was very right, women, learning those piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is a waste of time, just know how to be a housekeeper. Take care of the backyard for men, and be an indispensable virtuous helper, so you are not afraid that someone will be able to shake your status.
However, later she learned that no matter how good a woman is a housekeeper, no matter how virtuous and dignified she is, and men don't like it, everything is still in vain, and when it is time to abandon you, she will not be soft-hearted at all.
She is learning calligraphy and painting at this time, not only to please Shu Chengye and make up for the father-daughter relationship that she missed in her previous life, but also to cultivate a hobby of her own, why do women want to live for men all their lives?
What's more, what a man wants is not just a housekeeper.
The most important thing is that if she can make achievements in this area, even if a man doesn't like her in the future, he will not give up a lady who can bring him a good name. It's like Mrs. Yang, who I heard of in my previous life, has a good piano and a sound in the capital, and was personally given the title of Mrs. Qin by the Queen Mother.
"Girl, will you have some tea?" Waiting for Shu Manyao to put away the pen, Xia Xi hurriedly came over with hot tea. Shu Manyao took a sip slightly, and then turned her head to stare at the painting on the table, this is a landscape map, the first day she saw it, she only felt that it was very magnificent. When I watched it the next day, I felt a little lonely.
It's the fifth day now, and she's pretty much seen it. Looking at it any further, I couldn't see any other meaning of this painting, and I was about to step forward to roll up this painting, when I saw Winter Twilight come in and report at a glance: "Girl, the second girl and the third girl are here." ”
Shu Manyao frowned slightly, when she just returned to her soul, she was eager to peel the mother and daughter a few times and cramp, but then she had to go to her grandmother in the morning to talk to her grandmother, learn to read the account book, and do her homework in the afternoon, so she really didn't have time to take revenge on the mother and daughter, but she didn't expect that they would come to the door today.
"Please come in." Living in the old lady's yard is so bad that no matter what you do, you can't hide it from the old lady's eyes. Shu Manyao hated Shu Manjin and the sisters, but the old lady really hoped that their sisters would live together in harmony.
The most important thing is that although Shu Manyao's status in the old lady's heart is not low, Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu are not dispensable, their sisters are twins, in the old lady's opinion, it is very blessed, and it just happened to bring the following sister-in-law Shu Zheming, even if the Xu family is not good, just with these twin sisters and a Shu Zheming, they can gain a firm foothold in the Shu family.
"Big sister." Shu Manjin smiled and saluted Shu Manyao, but Shu Manyu only jumped to Shu Manyao's side with a smile: "Sister, what have you been busy with lately?" We haven't seen you in days. ”
Shu Manjin frowned and pulled Shu Manyu: "Third sister, don't be rude, you haven't saluted the eldest sister yet." ”
Shu Manyu came to Shu Manyao's side and said with a smile: "We are sisters, there is no need to be so polite, besides, I haven't seen my eldest sister for a long time, I miss it very much, so I forgot to salute, eldest sister will definitely not blame me, right?" ”
Shu Manyao glanced at her sideways, and distanced herself without a trace: "It's not a long time, I can still see it every morning when I say goodbye, didn't the third sister go to say hello to my grandmother today?" After all, it has only been three hours so far. ”
Shu Manyu's face stiffened, and Shu Manjin hurriedly smiled: "The eldest sister is the most serious and rigorous, and the third sister is really right, you can't make such a joke next time." It's just, eldest sister, what have you been busy with these two days? It's been a long time since we've seen you go to the garden to play, and the chrysanthemums are blooming well at this time, I thought, let's hold a chrysanthemum feast, and invite Miss Wang and them to come over to play, what do you think? ”
Shu Manyao shook his head: "You go and do it, there are two days left before my grandmother's birthday, I want to do some needlework for my grandmother, I'm afraid I don't have time to see any chrysanthemum banquet." ”
Miss Wang or something, she didn't know any of them. Those girls made friends, and they were all sisters Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu, she didn't attend any banquets with her, but every time she went out, she was ostracized.
It's not a joke or anything, it's just a snub, and sometimes I can't even say a word after the whole banquet. Once or twice, her already small courage became even smaller, and if there was such a banquet in the future, she would say that she was unwilling to go to anything.
"Is the eldest sister going to do needlework for her grandmother? I thought my eldest sister was going to write a pair of words or draw a picture. Shu Manyu opened her eyes wide, looking innocent and cute: "What needlework is the eldest sister going to do?" I looked at what the eldest sister did, so I avoided it, and made a different one for my grandmother than the eldest sister. ”
Shu Manyao frowned, and Shu Manjin rounded the field again: "Third sister, you still don't want to look at what the eldest sister did, in case you think you are not doing well, you have to change with the eldest sister, can the eldest sister still refuse you?" In this way, the eldest sister must not do it again? Don't bother, don't look at it now, wait until my grandmother's birthday, and still keep it a little mysterious. ”
Shu Manyao smiled at the corner of her mouth, looked at Shu Manjin, and glanced at Shu Manyu again: "The second sister and the third sister are really twin sisters, they really have a heart, what the third sister thinks, the second sister is really clear." ”
One has a crooked idea, the other is clearly squeezing herself, and she really thinks that she Shu Manyao is the person who had to compromise as soon as she was squeezed by others?
Isn't it just a few words? Who wouldn't? You're going to run people, and I'm going to taunt people. Ten years in the market is not in vain. If you want to use dirty words, you can open your mouth and come. If you don't want to use dirty words, it's okay, I didn't read a few books in my last life, and I didn't break up the words and deeds of your mother and daughter over and over again in those ten years.
"In this way, the needlework I made, really don't take it out, in case the third sister wants to open this mouth, I, the eldest sister, how can I refuse?" Shu Manyao said with a smile, seeing Shu Manjin's face change slightly, his heart was even more happy.
After thinking about it, she thought of the book sent by the nurse before, and the latter part, she hadn't destroyed it yet. Revenge should be to treat others in the way of others, since Xu kindly gave her this book, she didn't give it back to her two sisters, and she was really sorry for Xu's heart.
It's just that you have to think carefully about how to send it and who to give it to first. Shu Manyu is easy to fool, but Shu Manjin is not a good calculation.
Shu Manyu also sank his face: "Eldest sister is asking for food?" It's just a needlework, and giving it to my grandmother is just a sign of filial piety, whether it looks good or not, it's all my own mind, can the eldest sister use it to hide it? No matter how good it looks, can it be better than a sewing room? The eldest sister can't help but think too highly of herself, right? ”
"If it weren't for the second sister explaining, I wouldn't have known that the third sister had this thought." Shu Manyao said with a smile: "Since the third sister doesn't have this mind, that's the best." Two sisters, but what else is there? ”
Shu Manyu glared at Shu Manyao hatefully, turned around and left, Shu Manjin sighed, didn't hold it, had to turn his head and smile at Shu Manyao: "Don't be surprised by the eldest sister, the third sister's temperament has always been like this, I will ask the eldest sister daoqian on her behalf, and please forgive the eldest sister." ”
"I've always been generous, and I won't be surprised, but the second sister still has to persuade the third sister more, in front of her own sisters, no one will say anything, but in front of outsiders, I'm afraid it will ruin the reputation of our Shu family." Shu Manyao took the teacup, Shu Manjin was dissatisfied, and he could only get up and leave with a smile at this time.
Out of Ronghua Garden, Shu Manjin saw Shu Manyu standing on the path with an angry face. Shu Manjin walked over and sighed: "It seems that my mother's guess is right, Shu Manyao is indeed different from before, the soft and harmonious appearance before was probably pretended, and now that he was going back to the capital, he hurriedly changed his temperament." ”
Shu Manyu blinked, and the anger on his face subsided slightly: "Second sister, what does it have to do with her changing sex when she returns to the capital?" ”
Shu Manjin poked her head in hatred: "How come I have such a stupid sister as you?" You don't want to think about how old Shu Manyao is this year! Daddy meant before, let's go back to Beijing this time, it is very likely that we will settle in the capital, if Shu Manyao is still the same as before, the three sticks can't knock out a word, do you think she can get married? ”
Shu Manyu suddenly realized: "What does the second sister mean, Shu Manyao is going to say kiss?" ”
Shu Manjin glared at her, turned her head to look around, and found that there were big girls around them, and there was no one else around, so she nodded and dragged Shu Manyu forward: "Let's go, you can go back and practice more calligraphy, you can't just let her please Daddy." ”
"Oh, I don't like to practice words the most, otherwise you will practice words, second sister? Your handwriting is much better than mine. Shu Manyu begged Haode to hold Shu Manjin's arm and be coquettish, Shu Manjin shook his head decisively: "No, from now on, you will write me ten big characters a day!" ”
