The Lin family eats, and the men all eat on the table. The ladies were not allowed to serve the table, so they had to sit at the small table below to eat.

Gu Xian was very disgusted by this rule, but the customs in this area were like this, so she could only follow them.

Today, a large family gathered together, and the dishes at noon were still relatively rich, including roast goose, sauerkraut fish, braised bamboo shoots in oil, mapo tofu, and a loofah scrambled egg.

Rutong looked at so many dishes, and her eyes were shining. On weekdays, their women's tables are only one meat dish at most, which is as delicious as now.

When Gu Xian saw these dishes, she frowned and said, "Brother and sister, didn't I tell you to make a soup?" ”

Mrs. Lin immediately lowered her face: "So many dishes, not enough for you to eat?" "It's really Miss Jiao, every time I come back, I don't think I'll say hello with good food and food.

Gu Xian explained: "Mother, Qingshu injured her spleen and stomach because of her illness last time. The doctor specially explained that he should eat light and restrained, and he could not eat spicy and stimulating food. ”

It was said that it was a sick spleen and stomach, but in fact, who did not know that it was because of drinking the water.

Zhang Qiaoqiao hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "I forgot about it when I was too busy just now, I'll go make a soup for Qingshu now." ”

"What kind of soup to make, isn't there a loofah scrambled egg, this can always be eaten."

Gu Xian said with some embarrassment: "Mother, Qingshu doesn't eat loofahs." "Qingshu has been reluctant to eat loofah since she was a child, which is completely inherited from her mother. Mrs. Gu doesn't eat loofahs.

Mrs. Lin snapped and put her chopsticks on the table: "Then don't eat." Pick and choose when you eat, she is used to it. ”

Gu Xian couldn't quarrel with the old lady, so she had to appease Qingshu and said, "Qingshu, shall we eat eggs?" ”

Qingshu is no longer a picky eater, but Gu Xian can fight for her, and she is still very happy.

Seeing Qingshu eat a bowl of rice with a loofah, Mrs. Lin snorted and said, "You see that she doesn't eat well now, don't be so used to her in the future." ”

Gu Xian glanced at Qingshu with some surprise, and then nodded: "Yes, mother." ”

Back in the house, Gu Xian asked with some confusion: "Qingshu, didn't you think the loofah was too sweet and greasy to eat?" ”

Qingshu had already prepared his words: "Grandpa He said that you can't be picky eaters, picky eaters don't grow tall." ”

Gu Xian hugged Qingshu in her arms and said with relief: "My Qingshu has really grown up. ”

Qingshu snuggled in Gu Xian's arms and said softly: "Mother, I don't like it here. ”

No matter what, her mother can fight for her, and it proves that she also loves her. This is enough, the rest is not forced. People should cherish their blessings, and if they ask too much, they will lose their blessings.

"After the Dragon Boat Festival, we will go back to the county seat." Gu Xian doesn't like it here, but there is no way, as a daughter-in-law, she can't stay in the county seat for the holidays.

When she got up from a nap, Gu Xian took the "Three Character Sutra" and taught Qingshu. Although he only studied for a few days, Qingshu learned most of it. And what she has learned, she will memorize.

"Sister-in-law......"

Hearing that it was Wei Shi calling, Gu Xian took the book and put it on the table: "Please come in the second wife!" ”

Wei Shi pulled Rutong and walked in, looked at the books on the table and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you teaching Qingshu to read?" ”

Gu Xian nodded.

Wei Shi saw that Rutong didn't speak, so he had to say himself: "Sister-in-law, see if you can also teach Rutong to recognize two words." ”

Rutong pinched the corner of her clothes and looked at Gu Xian nervously, for fear that she would say something to refuse.

Although Gu Xian felt pity for Rutong, she still shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law, I won't stay at home for a few days." You'd better find someone else for this! "Teaching children is not gravity work, but it is also quite tiring. She is now pregnant, and she can't stand it.

"But my brother and sister and I are illiterate." If not, how could he ask for Gu Xian.

Qingshu deliberately pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Second aunt, you don't know how to read, and the second uncle can read and write!" The second uncle is a child, and he will definitely be able to teach the eldest sister well. ”

Twenty-five is still a child, which is enough to see that he has no talent in reading. It's a pity that he didn't give up and had to take the exam, and her grandfather and grandmother still supported it.

Wei said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "Your second uncle has to study, and he has no time to teach Rutong." ”

Qingshu pouted. How could she not know that her second uncle, like her grandfather and grandmother, was very patriarchal, and thought that a woman was virtuous if she was not talented. In his previous life, Webster had been arguing for a long time to send Rutong to study in the school, but unfortunately he couldn't do it in the end.

Seeing that Gu Xian still didn't let go, Wei immediately turned red: "Sister-in-law, I don't want to be blind like Tong and me." ”

Qingshu knew why Wei was so desperate to make Rutong literate, because she wanted to marry Rutong to the official eunuch's family and make her an official wife. In this way, Rutong will be able to live a good life in the future.

Tuolin Chengyu's blessing was that with his own uncle, who was a Beijing official, Rutong later became married to a young master of the Tang family. The young man, although he has no fame, is said to have some talent in reading. When the marriage is fixed, Rutong is not to mention how proud.

Gu Xian shook her head and said, "Brother and sister, I don't have so much time and energy now. ”

Qingshu is her daughter, no matter how she teaches. can be taught, and if you don't teach it well, you have to complain. This kind of thankless work, she doesn't do it.

Wei Shi was a little anxious and said: "Sister-in-law, I don't want you to teach extra, even when you are teaching red beans, you will also teach Rutong." ”

Gu Xian still shook her head: "Qingshu has already recognized thousands of words, and Rutong can't keep up with her progress." ”

With a bang, Rutong knelt on the ground: "Auntie, I want to read and write." Aunt, please teach me! ”

Merriam-Webster had told her before she came that this was her only chance to read. If Gu Xian didn't agree, she might be blind in her life.

If you are blind, it will be difficult to marry a good family in the future. Although Rutong was only five years old, Webster often talked to her. Therefore, people are also precocious.

Qingshu was impressed by Rutong, she was really able to bend and stretch, and she felt that she should also learn from Rutong.

Gu Xian hurriedly asked the maid to help Rutong up, and said helplessly: "I'm also at home for a few days, and I can't teach you much." ”

Merriam-Webster said, "Learn as much as you can." ”

The children all knelt down and begged each other, and Gu Xian couldn't refuse anymore: "Then let Rutong learn with Qingshu!" ”

Qing Shu showed a reluctant look on his face, but he didn't say anything against it.

Webster saw through her mother's temperament and knew that Jean Rutong would definitely be able to get her wish if she knelt down and begged each other. Therefore, she didn't bother to say anything against.

Wei Shi pulled Rutong and said, "What are you doing stupidly, don't you thank your aunt soon." ”

Rutong kowtowed three times: "Thank you, aunt." ”

Gu Xian saw that the clothes on her body were still stained with mud, and said, "You go and change into clean clothes and come over again." "If you want her to teach, you have to dress neatly and cleanly.

Gu Xian only brought the "Three Character Classic" when she came back this time, and did not bring other books, so Jiao Rutong could only use this book.

Rutong is a beginner, and he can't teach Qingshu at the same time: "Qingshu, you write the words I just taught you." ”

Qingshu responded very obediently.

"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away......"

Rutong has a good memory, and soon memorized a short section taught by Gu Xian.

Gu Xian nodded slightly, as long as the child is smart, what he is most afraid of is to meet the stupid.
