Lu Zhiyu felt that this kind of grandmother who taught the eldest lady was not suitable for her, these grandmothers would only let her learn all kinds of cumbersome etiquette rules, which was not allowed or not, in short, she didn't like it very much.

On the contrary, she deeply agreed with what her brother said about the etiquette and religion that constrained women's nature, and she also admired the new three and four virtues proposed by her brother.

When Lu Jing was educating Lu Zhiyu, he took the essence of the three virtues of this era and removed the dross, and on this basis, he proposed a new three virtues and four virtues, namely from the heart, from love, from oneself, literary wisdom, grace and virtue, character and art, and self-cultivation.

From the heart is to follow your own heart, do not forget the original intention, act with the heart, and do everything worthy of the heart.

To love is to have a loving heart, be filial to your parents, love yourself, take care of your family, and respect others.

Self-discipline is to recognize oneself, improve oneself, be independent and self-reliant, self-respect and self-love, establish a clear goal in life, and strive for it.

Literary wisdom is to read more poetry and books, enlighten the mind, cultivate temperament, have their own unique opinions and views on things, and do not blindly follow.

Yan Xian Shude is to be a cultivated person, treat people sincerely, have a good way, have a law for movement, and do not hurt others with bad words, but have the courage to fight back against those who hurt themselves.

Virtue is to learn a variety of life skills, and to keep learning and improving.

Self-cultivation and morality is to cultivate oneself diligently, do more good deeds, and do not do things that violate conscience and hurt nature and reason, but the principle is to be good with the good and evil to be evil.

Lu Jing smiled and said: "Naturally, I won't let Mama teach you that, just let her teach you the means of housekeeping and the etiquette of dealing with people, and at the same time let her cultivate your noble temperament." ”

"In the future, I will let you gradually participate in the management of the back house, and as for the rest, I will naturally tell her, and I will not let her teach you any female rings, female legends and the like."

When Lu Zhiyu heard Lu Jing say this, she immediately said with a smile: "I know that my brother is the best, don't worry, my sister will study hard." ”

She had long wanted to do something that could share Lu Jing's worries, but now when she heard that Lu Jing asked her to take care of the house, her heart was suddenly excited, and she made up her mind to study hard and help her brother share the family chores.

Lu Jing then changed his words: "But although you don't need to learn those things that imprison your thoughts, you also need to understand, you need to know that your thoughts are too different, and it is difficult to integrate into the world. ”

"I naturally hope that you can become a woman with a beautiful temperament and a talent that is more than fairy, but you also need to bring a little fireworks in elegance, fireworks in the world, the most soothing to the hearts of mortals, we are all mortals after all, and some fireworks are life."

"Brother, you are really verbose, how many times have you said it, people have long remembered, 'too high people are more jealous, and the clean world is the same', sister, I am a layman, and I don't want to be a lonely fairy."

Lu Jing nodded and smiled: "Well, it's good that you have this kind of mentality, your heart is noble, and you don't have to show that you have to be different in everything. ”

Lu Zhiyu smiled mischievously: "Hehe, my sister knows, as the so-called little hidden in the wild, hidden in the city, and hidden in the court, no matter how hard the little sister tries, she can only do it, and my brother will definitely be hidden in the future in the future." ”

Lu Jing replied with a smile: "Don't worry, when the time comes, we will both be hermits hidden in the city court." ”

"Well, when the time comes, let's stand still and laugh at the world." Lu Zhiyu said with a smile.

Then she looked at Lu Jing with a tired face, and said with concern: "Brother, go and rest, for the sake of your sister, you have been on the road for so long." ”

"Hmm!" Lu Jing nodded and responded: "You prepare well these days, and when Mama Qi arrives in a few days, I will talk to her about your education." ”

Lu Jing thought for a while and said, "When Mama Qi arrives, you can also have a good chat with Mama Qi, I believe you will have a different feeling." ”

"Well, my sister knows, brother, hurry up and rest!" Lu Zhiyu then said goodbye to Lu Jing.

Lu Jing looked at the back of his sister leaving, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that time had flown by, and now that his sister was eleven years old, she was becoming more and more sensible.

Two days later, Mama Qi came to Lu's house, Lu Jing first let Mama Qi have a good rest, and the next day he handed over Lu Zhiyu and Yinglian, as well as the maids around the two of them to Mama Qi for training, and even the two maids around him, Youxia and Qingqiu, he also told the two of them to go and study with Mama Qi when they had nothing to do.

Since three years ago, Lu Jing has adjusted Yinglian's identity, taking care of Yinglian as the daughter of the old man who lives in the Lu family, and also matching Yinglian with a maid to serve her, so that everyone in the house calls Yinglian Miss Zhen, but Yinglian is unwilling to enjoy this kind of young lady treatment, so she has to stay in the study to take care of Lu Jing's study.

Lu Jing was not reluctant, let her continue to stay in the study, and usually let Yinglian and her sister follow the female gentleman to read and learn calligraphy.

When Mama Qi was teaching Lu Zhiyu and Yinglian, she found that Yinglian was neither Lu Jing's concubine nor Lu Jing's maid, and Yinglian often regarded herself as the maid of the Lu family, but Lu Jing actually arranged a maid to serve Yinglian.

She didn't know Yinglian's identity, and she wasn't sure how to teach Yinglian, so she found Lu Jing and asked about Yinglian's situation.

Lu Jing did not hide it, and introduced Yinglian's life experience to Mama Qi, and then said that Yinglian was the daughter of the Lu family, and Yinglian could be taught in the same way as Lu Zhiyu.

After Mama Qi knew Yinglian's life experience, she felt pity for Yinglian, and took care of Yinglian in the usual teaching process.

On this day, Mama Qi called Yinglian to her room, ready to have a good chat with Yinglian, she has been in the Lu Mansion for more than ten days, and she has a more detailed understanding of the situation of the Lu family.

The Lu family is a family of poetry hairpins, although the Lu family brothers and sisters have passed away, but the second master of the Lu family is still an official in Jiangnan, and the Lu family is also a competitive person, he was promoted at a young age, and he is decent, good at governing the family, not only the family is thriving, but also often does some good deeds, and the Lu family has an excellent reputation in both Suzhou and Yang.

She has been in the world for a long time, and she has also seen many official eunuchs in Beijing, but there are very few families like the Lu family who attach importance to children's education, are strict in governing the family, and have a good family style.

At the same time, she has also settled down in her heart, now that she has become one with the Lu family, she naturally hopes that the Lu family can get better and better, but in her opinion, the Lu family has not handled Yinglian's affairs properly, and now Yinglian is not a master or servant in the Lu family, which has some impact on Lu Jing's reputation after all.

Yinglian came to Mama Qi's room with trepidation, thinking that she had done something wrong, which provoked Mama Qi to ask her for questioning, so she asked a little uneasily: "Mama, what are you always looking for me?" ”

Mama Qi looked at Yinglian's uneasy expression, took Yinglian's hand, asked her to sit beside her, and then smiled: "Don't be afraid, I'm just talking to you." ”

Yinglian suddenly put her mind at ease, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "I thought I had done something wrong, and Mama was going to punish me." ”

These days, when Mama Qi teaches the maids, everything that learns well will be rewarded, and if anything goes wrong, Mama Qi will not beat or scold, so she will let them stand at the door with a bowl of water on their heads, and they will be punished for standing for half an hour.

Those big girls and little girls are all teenagers, and they all have a strong sense of shame, so no one wants to stand at the door with the water and be admired by people who come and go, and they all study very seriously, and they are afraid that something will go wrong.

"The maid will be punished if she makes a mistake, what are you afraid of as a girl?" Mama Qi said with a smile.

treats Lu Zhiyu and Yinglian, she naturally won't punish them in the same way as she treats the maids, but she will punish the maids who follow them, Lu Zhiyu and Yinglian have a very good relationship with their maids, and naturally they don't want to be affected by their mistakes, so they are also very serious when studying.

"Mama, don't make fun of Yinglian, I'm the maid next to the uncle, where is the girl." Yinglian shook her head and said.

Although she was grateful to Lu Jing for not treating her as a maid, she also knew that her home was long gone, and now she was just a maid of the Lu family, and she couldn't rely on the kindness of the uncle and the girl to not recognize her identity.

Mama Qi smiled and said: "This is exactly what I want to ask you, you are now sixteen years old, I heard that the uncle is going to give you a ceremony in a while, and you will be able to marry at that time, do you plan to stay in the Lu family for a lifetime, or do you want to wait a year or two to get married?" ”

"I've stayed by my uncle's side all my life." Yinglian hurriedly said, she felt that she would not be able to repay her uncle's great kindness to her in her life, and she made up her mind that she would never leave the Lu family for the rest of her life.

Mama Qi has been experienced for a long time, how could she not see Yinglian's thoughts, and then asked, "Do you like uncle?" ”

Yinglian, a young girl with a young spring, was suddenly broken by Mama Qi's thoughts, her face was instantly covered with redness, and she lowered her head shyly and did not speak.

Mama Qi looked at Yinglian's expression and knew Yinglian's thoughts, and then said: "Although I have been in the Lu family for a short time, I also know that the uncle's character is very good, and he has been a nurturing grandmother in so many powerful families, and he has also seen many young talents, but there is no one who can compare with the uncle, and the uncle is kind to you, and it is normal for you to like the uncle." ”

Yinglian raised her head and looked at Mama Qi with doubts, not knowing what Mama Qi meant by this.

When Mama Qi said this, she immediately sighed: "Although you are also from a famous family, and the Lu family does not treat you as a maid, but there is no one in your family, and now you live in the Lu family, and no one can make decisions about your marriage." ”

"According to the old man, the uncle must be a great character in the future, if you follow the uncle, you can only be a concubine in the future, and it is difficult to marry into the Lu family."

"Are you willing to be like this?"
