Chapter 152: Nine Shadows (3)

Finally waited for the time to eat, Jiuyou touched his flat belly, and walked to the dining room weakly, wanting to eat a big meal and treat himself, but found that the old lady was holding a ring ruler and standing at the door without smiling, and there was a large basin of water and a clean cloth on the side of the door, waiting for them.

Jiuyou was dumbfounded, isn't it time to rest now? Still training? I didn't let people live.

"Before and after meals, clean your hands, it's so strange" The cold voice of the old lady sounded.

Jiuyou looked at her little hands, she had washed it, every time she went out of the thatched house, she washed it very cleanly and carefully. Also washed? I have to wash it a few times a day, and the skin is about to break.

Jiuyou was helpless, stepped forward to hit the pancreas, carefully scrubbed it again, and then raised his hand and shook his hand lightly above the water, the action was not too big, to ensure that the water droplets would not splash out of the basin, and then took a prepared cloth to wipe his hands clean, and finally put the cloth carefully. After doing all this, she carefully raised her eyes to look at the old lady of Jiaoxi, and saw that she no longer stared at her with cold eyes, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, she felt that she was about to become a conditioned reflex when she saw the old lady of Jiaoxi now.

She wanted to go directly to the dining room, but the old grandmother's precept stopped her again. said coldly: "What you taught today? As a woman, you should always maintain an elegant standing posture and walking posture."

Jiuyou immediately endured the discomfort of his chest against his back, which was already hungry, straightened his back and walked in slowly.

After entering, he found that no one else had moved, but sat carefully at the dining table, and Jiuyou suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. Let you see or not let you eat? Don't. She directly found a vacant seat, and was about to sit down, when she suddenly received a cold gaze, she reflexively looked over, and found that there was another old woman holding a ring ruler inside?

The content of sitting etiquette instantly popped up in her mind, sitting steadily, coordinating movements, sitting elegantly, with her abdomen tucked and her waist straight, her head and neck straight, her chin slightly tucked, her shoulders flush, her knees together, and her eyes looking straight ahead.

Finally, when she followed the content of her memory, although the movements were not very standardized, the cold gaze finally left her, and Jiuyou looked at the girls in the classmate hall who were all sitting upright, as if they were facing a great enemy. I felt that it was only one day, why did time pass so slowly, she was so hungry and tired.

Jiuyouyan lowered his head and kept peeking at the food in front of him, his throat couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his stomach kept shouting, but no one dared to move his chopsticks. Because as long as you move, the cold gaze of the old lady will come, and if you are disobedient, the punishment will come.

After waiting for a while, the moment is like a year. Finally, everyone arrived, Jiuyou breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said that you can always eat now, right?

Jiuyou couldn't help but reach out and pick up the chopsticks at hand to eat the vegetables, but a ring ruler directly whipped the back of her hand mercilessly, and she directly dropped the chopsticks in her hand on the dining table and shrank back.

"Today we are going to learn how to eat elegantly, first of all, hold chopsticks in your right hand and hold the bowl in your left hand, you can also hold it up, with your thumb on the top and your four fingers dragging the bottom of the bowl. The dishes are picked up from the plate closest to them, and the residue that is spit out cannot be spit directly on the table, but on the plate......" the old lady of the teaching practice gushed endlessly.

Grunt, the belly of the girl next to her sounded, Jiuyou was suddenly surprised, it turned out that she was not the only one who was hungry, they were also hungry.

The old lady glanced at her coldly, and continued to talk endlessly.

After a stick of incense, the old lady finally finished explaining the content of eating, and Jiuyou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Secretly said that she could finally start eating now, but her sweet dream just started, and the next moment she was shocked by the next words of the old lady.

"Okay, then I will tell you about the content of the 660 prohibitions on table manners:

First, don't talk to people

Second, don't gobble it up

Third, don't look around

Fourth, don't chirp

……

Article 80: Do not turn it over on a plate

……

Article 220, do not hold chopsticks with your index finger outstretched

Article 221, do not hold chopsticks in your mouth

……”

Teaching the old lady to talk about it again. This scene seemed familiar, and the memory in Jiuyou's mind was suddenly cleared of a layer of mist, and she saw a picture:

She sat on a low table in the courtyard with a bowl of potpourri soup on the table, and a gentle woman sat casually at the low table, talking to her about table manners.

"Mother, why are there so many rules for eating, one head and two big ones for Xiao Youting"

"Xiaoyou, people live in the world, you have to communicate with people, do you want people to think that you are a wild man, vulgar, or do you want people to think that you are elegant and generous, beautiful like a little princess?"

"Savages are too ugly, I don't want to be savages"

"Then you want to be a little princess"

"The little princess is so squeamish, I don't like it either"

"And what do you want to do?"

"Heroine, chivalrous and righteous in the red dust, traveling and eating all over the world"

"You are really ambitious, and my mother supports you. But there are also two kinds of heroines, one is liked by everyone, and the other is disliked by everyone, which one do you want to do? ”

"Everybody Likes"

"Then you have to learn with dim sum, as long as you interact with people and can't avoid contact, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, pay attention to etiquette, and maintain elegance at all times"

"But every day, I'm so tired."

"Well, my mother is also tired, so in front of outsiders, you must be upright, remember all the etiquette and posture, and don't let outsiders find out your mistakes at will. In front of your own people, you can be as free as you like, how happy you are."

"Outsiders?"

"Yes, as long as they are not friends and relatives, they are all outsiders"

"Oh"

"Xiaoyou, remember, your own people can tolerate all your shortcomings and willfulness, because they love you and can tolerate everything about you. But outsiders will only pick the bones in the eggs, and if they are not careful, it will be gossip, and they will never recover. So even if you don't like it anymore, you have to pretend that people can't find the slightest mistake, you know? ”

"Well, Xiao Yu understands"

……

The picture disappeared, and Jiu You's ears listened to the familiar and boring teachings again, and suddenly felt very kind. Thoughts are racing, mother, where are you? Xiao Yu misses you so much.

"Okay, it's time to start" The beautiful voice of the old lady finally pulled Jiuyou's thoughts back.

Jiuyou just wanted to reach out and grab the chopsticks, but suddenly thought that her mother wanted her to study seriously, these people are outsiders, don't lose your courtesy, she immediately became serious, and secretly said From now on, she will study more seriously and not let her mother down.

Outside the sphere, Qiao Zhi was surprised, did she remember something when she just lost her mind? Why did she wake up with a few less resistances in her eyes and a little more serious?

Qiao Zhi saw that even though she was very hungry, wanted to eat and drink, and was very tired, she couldn't help but study hard with a single glance, and was surprised.

"Well, yes, it's really teachable" Qiao Cheng saw this scene, sat casually, holding a pipe, smoking a cigarette leisurely, and said with relief.

In the sphere, after eating, the old lady said to everyone before leaving, "You can only be regarded as Dong Shi Xiao Feng now, three points of appearance, seven points of deliberate, if you want to learn fast and learn well, you should let all etiquette be integrated into life, always maintain, stick to the rules, let it go deep into the bone marrow, and do everything calmly, then you can become a teacher."

As soon as the two old grandmothers left, the little girls who were originally sitting in danger seemed to be liberated from their nature, and their gaffes were fully revealed, and they were casual and peaceful.

Jiuyou also breathed a sigh of relief, just wanted to stretch his waist, and remembered his mother's words in his mind, in front of outsiders, even if it is pretending, you must pretend to the end. Jiuyou thought of the disgust and curse of Kong Linglong and the people in the Library Pavilion again. That's right, they're just too stupid, that's why they hate themselves like that. Is it because you don't know how to pretend?

Bringing etiquette to life? Nine Shadows of Contemplation. She doesn't just want to follow suit, she wants to do her best, so that outsiders can't find a trace of fault.

Jiuyou secretly swore in her heart, she carefully tidied up her appearance, straightened her posture, straightened her chest and abdomen, looked ahead, and walked out slowly and directly, just like when she was teaching the old lady to practice.

The surrounding people whispered, disdainful, and some people even said that the old lady was not here, so who would show it.

There were constantly bright and dark voices all around, and Jiuyou muttered in his heart that it was all dogs barking, ignoring them.

She slowly walked out of the dining room, ignoring her strange gaze and practicing.

Outside the sphere, Qiao Cheng said happily, "The old man likes your daughter-in-law more and more, her understanding, appearance, and personality are all excellent."

Qiao Zhi was silent, but she was surprised in her heart, she obviously didn't like it, why did she suddenly get serious, what did she remember just now? Could it be that her memory has gradually recovered? Maybe not to be left behind, not to be left behind is the real her. I hope you will not be assimilated by secular rituals to be as boring as them, and you will always be able to maintain your virginity.

In the sphere, the next day, the old lady taught how to sit elegantly: when sitting on the stool, sit down with the skirt, so as not only to reflect good manners, but also to avoid wrinkles in your skirt, sit on one-third, two-thirds, do not sit on the entire stool, legs together, knees and ankles are kept close together, and hands are stacked in the middle of the thighs. When you get up, stroke your skirt and get up, try to take half a step behind your right foot first, keep your back upright, don't pout your hips, and look at eye level."

Jiuyou has changed yesterday's ugliness, jokes are constant, and today it has become a model for the school. It seems that yesterday and today are the illusions of two people.

That's it, in the squatting, kneeling, and sitting postures that follow...... The nine shades that are serious are as if they have been enlightened, and they can be understood at one point.

When it was time to eat, I taught the old grandmother, and taught the etiquette differences between the table and the elders, with friends, and between the guests.

I don't know if I don't learn, I was shocked when I learned it, it turned out to be a meal etiquette, and there are so many rules, which is really eye-opening. Jiuyou suddenly realized, no wonder they all called her stupid, that is, she didn't understand anything, they were right. Sister Qingxue is right. Read more books, books are like medicine, and good reading can cure foolishness.

Realizing the power of knowledge, Jiuyou, who didn't want to be ridiculed anymore, studied tirelessly and earnestly.

Soon, she learned all the etiquette of the Qiao Tian clan, and began to follow the middle-aged female official to start the journey of recording the etiquette of the ten thousand clans.

Qiao Zhi, who was outside the sphere, looked like a different person, and Jiuyou, who was completely integrated into it, left with confidence. The ratio of the sphere recording Vientiane to the outside world is ten to one, which means that she has been in it for ten years, and outside is one year, I believe that at her current speed, she should be able to return from the experience soon. On the mother's side, it can be regarded as having an explanation.

Day after day, month after month, more than three years passed soon, and although he was in the virtual world of images, Jiuyou's height grew taller, and it was exactly the same as the length of the first ascension.
