Master Jin didn't mention sending Zhang Erzhen back to Zhang's mansion again, and Zhang Erzhen didn't mention it either, so Zhang Erzhen stayed in Tingfeng Pavilion again. Yun Xiang is a person from the Zhao family, and he has been sent out, and now he doesn't know where the person is, and Zhang Erzhen is not so fraternistic that he doesn't care about his previous suspicions, looking at the Lingzhi who stayed behind and sighing, sometimes being stupid and lazy doesn't know if it's a blessing.

The hostess of the Jin Mansion went to Zhuangzi to recuperate, so naturally someone had to stand up and temporarily take care of the housekeeper. Master Jin is clear and understandable, naturally not confused to the point of letting Aunt Qing take sole control, the second daughter-in-law has to take care of the little grandson, naturally she can't take over the house, Master Jin arranged for Jin Yanniang and Aunt Qing to take care of the house together, and when Jin Yanniang can get started, there will be nothing to do with Aunt Qing. For this reason, Aunt Qing's boss was not happy, and twisted the water snake's waist to go to Master Jin's Zhengqing Hall, but was driven out. Master Jin was in a low mood, and it was really not wise for her to run to cry and take power. Zhang Erzhen went to Tingyu Pavilion to visit Jin Yanniang, and Jin Yanniang was staring at the details of the account books with blazing eyes, which made Zhang Erzhen feel as if she was worried in vain.

Jin Yanniang was too busy to raise her head, and said, "You can do it yourself, I'll talk to you after reading this, Changlian, hurry up and serve tea to my cousin." ”

Zhang Erzhen felt that Jin Yanniang seemed to have grown up in an instant, and this eleven-year-old girl suddenly looked like an adult. Jin Yanniang quickly browsed the expenses in the house this month, and said viciously: "Aunt Qing's consumption is seriously exceeded, see how I scrape off a layer of skin for her." ”

Zhang Erzhen couldn't help laughing and said: "Aunt Yan is really like a housekeeper's lady, this bearing, this posture, who dares to disobey you in the house now, I think he should pinch his skin tighter." Jin Yanniang shook the Zihao pen in her hand, and said thoughtfully: "They think that I want to fool me when I pee, or they think that they can ignore me if they get touched, and people who think like this are stupid." I take care of their food and clothing, and I want to see everything from me, and if you want to make a living under my hands, you must show some sincerity, and I will not give him good fruit to eat with such wall grass. After speaking, he continued to bury his head in the account, with determination on his red face.

Zhang Erzhen persuaded: "You don't have to worry about everything, many things have your own mother-in-law and housekeeper to take care of them." You just have to hold the head, and they have their own rules for what to do underneath. That's what my mother told me, if the housekeeper is too tight, so that the servant who originally made a little oil and water has the intention of resisting, it will not be good, the housekeeper has the way of housekeeping, and there is naturally a way to do things. Zhang Erzhen tried her best to make it clear and understand, Jin Yanniang is very burdened by such a monopoly of power, and she will also attract complaints.

Jin Yanniang shook her head and said: "You don't remember Steward Feng and Mother Feng, such a housekeeper is my mother-in-law's loose control, so I can tolerate them to be so presumptuous, I can't have such a person under me, so I found out that I sold it directly, and it was an eyesore in the province." ”

Zhang Erzhen knew that she couldn't persuade Jin Yanniang, so she also took the account book and read it with her. The ancient ledger is extremely complicated, and the very simple arithmetic problems are also made into a full page. Zhang Erzhen looked at it and looked at it with a head as big as a cow, so she admired Jin Yanniang who was still staring at it carefully. I used to worry that without the Zhao family, Jin Yanniang would be depressed and confused, but I didn't expect her to rise so quickly, and in just one month, she had already taken care of the affairs of the house. Who is the mother-in-law who bought in the kitchen, how much are the daily ingredients in the house, and how many or little ingredients are left, Jin Yanniang called over to buy the mother-in-law and reprimanded: "Why is the bird's nest in Aunt Qing's yard continuous all day long, she is not pregnant and not sick, what kind of tea does she make with the old ginseng all day long?"

The mother-in-law hurriedly knelt down, Ai Ai couldn't speak, and Jin Yanniang didn't embarrass her, and said: "In the future, I will cut off the old ginseng in Aunt Qing's courtyard, if she has anything to say, come and talk to me directly!" impatiently waved away the housekeeper's mother-in-law, Jin Yanniang was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, looked at Zhang Erzhen, who was reading the account book seriously, and said: "Zhenzhen, you are so good here, don't go back, it's great to stay and live." ”

Zhang Erzhen also thinks that this day is good, without Zhao's calculation and murder all day, except for Jin Yanniang in the back house, she is the biggest, and she is free to act freely, but happy days are always short-lived, Zhang Erzhen reminded Jin Yanniang: "Didn't Shao Fu send someone over a few days ago to say that Mama Hua is in good health, and she should go to Shao Mansion to attend classes after a while." You forgot, tomorrow is the time to go to Shaofu. Zhang Erzhen thought that Jin Yanniang was uncontrolled now, and she didn't want to go, but Jin Yanniang was just stunned for a moment and replied: "Is it so fast?" Zhang Erzhen nodded, Jin Yanniang was silent for a while, and said: "Go, tomorrow will be tomorrow." ”

"Aunt Yan, you have grown up. Zhang Erzhen sighed with emotion, reached out and rubbed the bangs between Jin Yanniang's sideburns, Jin Yanniang's willow eyebrows counted down and pretended to be angry: "Zhang Erzhen, you are getting bigger and smaller, you dare to ridicule your little aunt......"

Zhang Erzhen smiled: "Don't dare, don't dare, so let's go to Shaofu tomorrow, I won't be in a hurry to go home, and I can accompany you for a while." ”

"For the first time, I feel that learning the rules is not so difficult...... Jin Yanniang sighed: "Now no one cares, but I need to pay attention to everything." ”

Zhang Erzhen thought about it for a long time, but decided to go to Shaofu, in addition to improving her self-cultivation, making herself more in line with the requirements of the Ming Dynasty's ladies, and increasing the added value, she could also accompany Jin Yanniang through this difficult time, and there was also - thank the nurse for her dedication over the years, giving her the opportunity to reunite with old friends.

After staying in the house for a long time, the two little girls went out for a walk in the garden together. Now it is the cold of spring, although the spring flowers have bloomed faint yellow stamens, but the air is still damp and cold, the south is like this, the kind of cold is pierced to the bones, so Zhang Erzhen sometimes misses the heating in the north, instead of the red stove burning here, the skin is warm, and the bones are still frozen.

Early the next morning, Zhang Erzhen was dug out of the warm quilt by the nurse, a warm handkerchief was directly covered on the face and gently wiped, and after a while, Zhang Erzhen woke up most of the time, and was served by the nurse to rinse her mouth and dress, such as the moon brought breakfast, Zhang Erzhen squinted her eyes and ate without a mouthful, and the nurse said distressedly: "Girl, the third girl takes care of the housework, you don't have to accompany it until so late, look at the eyes can't open, how can you go out." Zhang Erzhen muttered listlessly: "I said I should come back early, Aunt Yan just didn't allow it, how could I run away when she worked so hard." We're going to Shaofu for class today, and she has to clean up in advance, so she saves the courtyard from taking advantage of the loopholes. ”

The nurse fed her a mouthful of the newly made delicious peach blossom almond crisp, and said: "That can't be so bad, the girl is the time to grow her body, and it will be good to go on like this." ”

"The nurse doesn't have to worry, I save my money, I know what to do. ”

After finishing the meal, most of her spirits recovered, Zhang Erzhen took Mingyue and the nurse to Tingyu Pavilion, leaving Ruyue to look at the courtyard. The nurse also said that she would also stay, but Zhang Erzhen insisted on taking her, only saying, "The nurse has been detained in the house all day, and she doesn't have to suffocate." ”

Jin Yanniang was ready, and the two of them went out of the Hanging Flower Gate, got into the carriage waiting at the door and went straight to Shao Mansion. Mama Hua is already in good health, full of energy and looking much younger than last year. The five girls all had seats this time, and Mrs. Shao ordered five Nanmu low tables to be placed in Zhaomu Hall, with five pale yellow round cushions. Mama Hua looked at the five girls with a smile and said, "From now on, we will officially start teaching, including the etiquette of three from four virtues, the daughter of knitting and cutting, and how to manage family affairs, including the wearing of a large snack and the affairs of employment arrangements." Literacy and hyphenation must be difficult for the girls, last time I arranged the "Women's Rules" a hundred times, I don't know if the girls brought it today?"

The five girls had already put out the thick "Women's Rules" copied by them, and Mama Hua checked them in turn, and nodded secretly when she saw Zhang Erzhen's delicate and dignified Xiaokai.

"The girls are done seriously, and it can be seen that you have a correct attitude towards this lecture, and you will not be loose and lazy. The best writing is still the eldest girl of the Shao family, the handwriting is beautiful, and the pen is powerful and not floating. Being a man should be like writing, and you can be upright in order to be upright, do you know?"

Shao Qian, the third girl of the Shao family, had red ears, because part of her was written by the maid, but she didn't expect Mama Hua to be able to see it. Mama Hua said a few words and began to teach in earnest. Zhang Erzhen played with the spirit of 12 points, just like when she took the college entrance examination, and occasionally worked hard to write. Zhang Erzhen secretly went to see Jin Yanniang, the girl was nodding her head, as if she was asleep. Mama Hua talked about the theoretical knowledge for a while, and then instructed the five girls to stand up, practice the knowledge just now, sit and lie down and walk in their own rules, rest their hands on their sides for a few minutes, and raise their knees as high as they walk, revealing the geometry of embroidered shoes. It's really exquisite, Zhang Erzhen sighed and dealt with it easily, she didn't care about it before, it turned out that under the subtle influence of the nurse over the years, she really fit the demeanor of a young lady.

Mama Hua also nodded straightly, and said to the other four girls: "Needless to say, the eldest girl of the Shao family is also a girl of the Zhang family, although she is young and has less strength, but this action is brilliant and outstanding, and the three girls should take it as a good example." ”

Zhang Erzhen was praised, and blushed a little embarrassed, this is the difference between senior transfer students, Jin Yanniang has a proud face, the second girl of the Shao family, Shao Dan, the third girl, Shao Qian, secretly glanced at Jin Yanniang, showing disdain.

Hua Mama naturally saw their different reactions, but she clearly knew that her task was to educate and etiquette, not to correct and counsel interpersonal relationships, the relationship between the back house was complicated, and she knew that the women were pure and good-natured. Mama Hua's private lessons are from early noon to noon every day, although Shao Fu kept them to eat, but Jin Yanniang still took Zhang Erzhen back to Jin Mansion and ate with those in Shao Mansion.

In the next month, Zhang Erzhen felt as if she had returned to the happy and leisurely time when she went to school in her previous life, living a life of two points and one line. Whenever Mama Hua assigned a task and pondered it by herself, Zhang Erzhen always couldn't find the nurse. Mama Hua often took the nurse to her room to chat for a while. After a long time, the faces of the two are no longer sad and nostalgic, but the joy and happiness of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and their faces are full of satisfaction.

Gradually, Zhang Erzhen was comfortable with those strange and distant etiquette, and she also did a good job of scooping tea and flower arrangement, and Jin Yanniang was also a lot more ladylike, and her behavior became more and more obedient......
