The felt mat for calligraphy and painting was laid on the table, and the white rice paper was unfolded.

My aunt took out a copy of the "Huang Ting Sutra" and preached to me: "If you practice Xiaokai, it is a common practice to use this scripture to paste it on the door. Many of the scriptures in this sutra have been left with models, and the scriptures teach people to cherish the body and spirit, and to understand the relationship between people and the heavens, earth, the sun and the moon. ”

"Uh-huh, yes, auntie." I nodded understandingly.

My aunt moved a round stool and sat on my right side, and began to correct my posture of holding the pen, teaching me how to hang my wrist and how to move the pen.

The flexible use of finger and wrist strength is based on the head, body, and hands. After all kinds of reminders to correct, my aunt is still patient.

Told me to write down how to exert my strength, and then began to post one stroke at a time.

But it's still one foot deep and one foot shallow, and I can't control the soft nib at all. Two black eyebrows were painted on the thin place, and a large split was painted on the place where it should be gathered.

My aunt laughed and continued to explain. Tell me not to be greedy and to concentrate on every stroke.

I felt the connection between me and the brush, and I understood that in order to write well, I needed to be one with the pen. This is true not only of calligraphy, but also of any genre of art.

I felt a little more, so I quickly covered the tip of the pen with spiritual power, and then wrote down, feeling that I had more to do.

My aunt complimented me: "Okay, that's it. ”

I smiled and glanced at my aunt, her raised phoenix eyes were large and bright, starry, and her slightly deep eye sockets and straight nose tip correspondingly beautiful.

I tried my best to keep this feeling, but when I was halfway through the "Huang Ting Jing", my shoulders and hands ached.

My aunt told me to stop, took the rice paper and looked at it carefully, and said to me, "Okay, let's practice here today, step by step." Every other day, you come to the study and teach you slowly. In the spare night, you can't be idle, and you have to copy the calligraphy you have learned three times, which can be regarded as homework left for you. Can you remember clearly? ”

"Got it, auntie."

"Two days after tomorrow, you will continue to go to the study hall to learn to serve the pen and ink, and check it the night after tomorrow."

She patted me on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go play." My aunt still has two official documents to review. ”

I got up and said goodnight to my aunt, and I was ready to jump out.

"Oh, yes."

"What's wrong, auntie?"

My aunt said seriously: "My aunt is angry today, and another point is because my aunt doesn't want you to make trouble and make enemies, I just want you to grow up in peace, do you know the little woe?" ”

I gave my aunt a sweet smile: "Got it, auntie." ”

I walked into the courtyard and thought about my aunt's earnest admonitions, and pondered the relationship between growing up and being strictly upbringing—this was a bit contradictory on the surface, but it seemed to complement each other, and I couldn't even figure it out for a while.

There is also a little doubt, it seems that every time I go to a collective, I can use the fastest speed to generate gunpowder disputes, are there so many old enemies......

Alas!

When I came back to the East Chamber, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Ah Qiu chatting with Dong Xiu.

Ah Qiu raised her head: "My sister is back, hurry, tell my sister to look at the palm of her hand." ”

As he spoke, he pulled my hand and tried to give me medicine.

"Huh, it's all right?" Ah Qiu looked up at me, a pair of small crescent moon eyes with concern.

As soon as I came out, I lay down on my winter legs, there was no delicious fruit in this early spring, I took a pickled green plum and chewed it in my mouth, and clicked and said, "I finally got forgiveness." ”

Winter break took an ice handkerchief to cover my hands and snort.

"Thank you, sister, for interceding for me."

Ah Qiu smiled: "It's my sister's should." It turned out that my aunt cherished her sister, and if she punished others, there was no reason to be exempted halfway. ”

I blinked and pouted, "No one else knows." But I think I haven't punished my sister much, and the ruler is brand new. Otherwise, after all these years, it would have been a long time ago to find a way to hide it. ”

Ah Qiu covered his mouth and smiled: "Hide a ruler? Only my sister can remember this. Then she changed her voice, "Thanks to my aunt's fancy to me, she kept me by her side, so naturally she can't add chaos to my aunt." In the past five years, I have been trained a lot, and if I am beaten, I think there are only two times. ”

Then she said as if educating me: "In the future, I will remind my sister to supervise and avoid making my aunt angry." Sister, go to bed early, there is a morning class tomorrow. I replied. ”

She closed the door gently, and as soon as she arrived in the yard, she heard her calling the palace maid kidney bean, Xiangshun, how was the bath water prepared for her aunt, how was the laundry washed, and asked again and again.

Some of the thanks that had just arisen to her began to drift away, and now she was the second in charge of the yard......

The next day, I got up and went to the study hall for a day, learned to study ink, open the pen, wash the pen, and protect the pen.

glanced at Huang Bao'er and them a few times, the palms of his hands were swollen like toads, and he was still secretly happy in his heart.

But after yesterday's battle, each other consumed their energy, and today they are all quietly restrained. The rest of the others were also killed to make an example, and no one dared to talk to each other before class today, and they got together to form a party.

In the afternoon, the class was dismissed, and there was still a little time before dinner. Lin Yanzi and I naturally gathered together and walked together.

She plucked a willow leaf and put it to her lips and whistled. I listened to it for a while, and it was still in tune.

The whistle of this willow leaf is extremely quiet, and there is even a sense of the Western Regions.

"Wow~, it's interesting, I'll try it too."

I also picked a piece, and learned from her to fold the willow leaves, and when she blew, there was only the sound of air brushing.

"Ahh

Lin Yanzi looked at me triumphantly, and actually blew out a cricket sound.

There must be applause here.

She took the leaves away and said to me, "You have chosen the wrong leaves, they must be fresh and intact, and the meat should not be too thick." ”

She raised her eyes to look under the willows, and quickly chose a slice for me, "Oh, like this." ”

Moisten your lips, hold the leaves with both hands, and when you blow, your lips do not touch the leaves, but hang in the air, and hold your palms far and near. The blowing air must be at a uniform speed, and if it is too strong, the leaves will fall, and if it is too light, the leaves will not vibrate. ”

Try it the way she says it, hey! Sure enough, I can make a sound.

was playing energetically, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind him, like a few happy ponies.

When I turned around, I saw a girl under the age of ten running madly, holding a large fire fold in one hand and a large red carp hanging in the other.

Several eunuchs and palace maids behind were chasing her: "Stop! Little Ancestor, stop! ”

As soon as you look at each other, you know that they are acquaintances.

"Celestia?"

She tugged at my dress and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the little villain sister, stop me." ”

Hey –

Then he jumped in front of and behind me and Lin Yanzi, hiding from the people who caught up.

The eunuch's face flushed anxiously: "I said Grandma Princess, will you give this koi back to Xiao Xing?" The spiritual creatures in the release pond of this Foguang Temple can't be slaughtered. It was the lady concubine who prayed for your birthday and deliberately released it, you ......"

The eldest princess dangled the hook, and the koi's lips were spilling blood, "Hey, I won't give it to you." I'm going to bake it and eat it. ”

So he threw the fire fold into the fish's mouth, and the fish was burned and moved, and the wound on the mouth was torn even bigger.

The eunuch hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded: "You can spare the little ones, the little ones can't afford the sin of not taking good care of good things." ”

When she reached out to hold the struggling fish, the princess was in a hurry, and she grabbed the eunuch's hair and was about to burn it.

Lin Yanzi couldn't stand it: "I said that this pimply kid is unreasonable, right?" ”

The eldest princess raised her face: "You dare to take care of me?" ”

Then he hugged his two little arms and raised his chin to the sky.

I tugged at Lin Yanzi's clothes and whispered, "This is the princess." ”

Then he said before she spoke: "Ahem, I have always known that the princess has the princess's cause to do things, so I might as well talk about it, how can I release this fish~"

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and said with a rebellious face: "I was just next to the fish pond, trying to see if the fish would swallow the fire, and these wastes were killed." That anxious look is too interesting to watch, much more fun than this fish. Naturally, it's time to play a game. ”

She threw the fish on the ground, pretended to step on it, and said to the kneeling man, "Take it, whoever gives me a performance of a fire dragon will be allowed." ”

This......

There was not a single person who did not look at each other.

At this time, Lin Yanzi sneered and said, "It's not simple. ”

As she spoke, she snatched the fire fold from the princess's hand, blew it, blew the fire very strongly, and burst out of the seedlings.

Then he untied a small leather bag from his waist, took a mouthful of the liquid in his mouth, rinsed it gently, and raised his head to face the sky.

The fire fold was quickly passed in the mouth, and immediately lifted away, only to see the fireworks ignited from the mouth first, and then sprayed out two feet away!

We were amazed!

She finished spraying this mouthful and said lightly: "This has to look good at night, and now that the sky is just starting to get dark, the effect is not good." ”

It's already up to the mark...... The growth of the fire dragon is the same as what I have seen on TV before!

Lin Yanzi looked at the eldest princess with the attitude of a victor and said, "How?" It's time to tell them to go. ”

Seeing the situation, the eunuch hugged the big carp, thanked him, and saw that the princess did not stop it anymore, and ran away.

The princess's expression became happy, as if she had found some rare little playmate, she took Lin Yanzi's hand and said, "What else is there to do with the palace maid?" I want to play with my sister every day. ”

Lin Yanzi deliberately put on a smug posture, patted the dust on her hands, and said disdainfully: "Who wants to play with you?" You like to play with other people, it's too old-fashioned! Or the princess herself to enjoy it slowly, the little one retires! ”

I pursed my lips and smiled, but as soon as Lin Yanzi pulled my arm, she dragged me away, leaving the princess alone to wander in the same place.

The two of us trotted all the way, for fear that the little Zuojing would cry again after boiling his throat behind his back, and he would be in trouble. But I found that she was not interesting after eating, and she was still alone, and when she looked back, she was a little drooping and lost.

I asked Yanzi: "Where did you learn these skills in the rivers and lakes?" Aren't all the palace maids selected from good families? ”

She lowered her eyes: "My father and mother think I'm a woman, lose money, and don't want to wait for me to grow up and give a dowry." So he sold me to the juggling troupe in the morning, and two years ago I was doing art on the street when I met my uncle. But he could not see it, so he ransomed me, raised me in his house, and returned to my good land. ”

"Originally, I only said that I would be given a family at the age of sixteen, but my aunt was sick again, and the cost of the illness was getting bigger and bigger, so my eldest brother was bent on driving me out. I don't know where to go, but fortunately, I got a letter from the palace to select the palace maid last month, and I discussed it with my uncle, and I think it's also a place to go. ”

She sighed lightly: "Originally, I was selected, but I was brushed off, and yes, I don't look docile when I look at it." ”

I hurriedly asked, "What about later?" ”

"Later, the examiner, when I was reviewing, I saw that my file book was written to be good at playing tricks, and I felt that it was rare, and I left it on the grounds that I could tease the master."

I smiled and said, "It's a blessing!" ”

She nodded seriously and said, "So, I have to thank you for reminding me, my temper is almost ignited." Now I am only concentrating on my studies, and I am looking forward to being able to get a good place after the assessment in half a year, and I will be able to have a share of money when I get a job. ”

"What about you, little man? Why didn't I see you for the first five days of the seminary? ”

The timbre of her voice makes people feel very quiet. Suddenly, I found that I was compared to her, and my voice was as lively as a silver bell: "Ahem! I am not in the same batch as you, nor did I choose palace maids to come in. It was a group of show girls recruited in the early autumn of last year. ”

She was very surprised, and said with a smile: "That should also be a picker, talented!" Why didn't you fill the harem? ”

I avoided replying: "It's also a long story, but there are always outstanding ones, and Wu Zhaorong is ranked as a second-grade concubine." ”

She pulled a long voice: "Oh——, I remembered, at that time, the government also posted a notice, as long as the daughter of Bai Luri in the year of Xin Mao, I also joked at that time that if you were born half a year later, you don't need to be audited, and you can be a mother directly!" ”

I laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's too late now!" Tomorrow, the swallow will put on a topless gauze and take a turn in front of the saint, won't it be?! ”

She patted me and said, "You're such a little villain!" The princess who does not lose so calls you. ”

I made trouble all the way, and at the street entrance, I said that I remembered something else, so I parted ways with her and went back to the Moon Pond Courtyard.

At the dinner table, Ah Qiu, who rushed back to eat at the latest, said to my aunt and me with a smile: "It's strange today, the eldest princess told Concubine Shu that she had fallen in love with a palace maid and had to go." ”

I snorted: "Oh my God, Lin Yanzi is going to suffer." ”

My aunt looked at me with a smirk: "You know again? ”

I looked innocent: "I just saw it." ”

Ah Qiu added: "Aunt and sister guess what's going on?" ”

My aunt smiled and said nothing.

I replied, "Isn't it the first three chapters of the law?" ”

"That's right! To Qiu'er's surprise, in order to ask for the palace maid, the princess actually agreed to the condition that the mother asked her to go to the study. However, the mother also gave leniency, only saying that she had insisted for half a month first. In half a month, I studied hard, didn't make trouble, and didn't get angry with Mr., so I allowed her. ”

My aunt said: "Tempt it with profit, move it with affection, know it with reason, and threaten it with authority." There's something for everyone. ”

Aqiuliso said: "Qiu'er wrote it down, Aunt Xie taught." ”

Well?? Should I be courteous in this way, and wouldn't it seem rude otherwise......

I was muttering in my heart, but my aunt said to me again: "Look at your sister Qiu'er, you can rest assured of your aunt's words." Do things and speak, and learn from her diligence and gentleness in the future. ”

The corners of my mouth slipped down unconsciously: "Isn't it good to learn from Aunt Su'er?" ”

My aunt smiled and said slowly: "You have a loose temper, you have been indulged in so many years, you should have started pruning when you were young." ”

I......

Be rendered speechless.

Although I didn't distinguish anymore, I only felt in my heart that I was not dogmatic, I was at ease in my heart, I made myself happy, and I didn't dominate others, what's wrong?

When I came back to my room after dinner, I was copying the "Huang Ting Jing" one by one, and I walked in very mysteriously during the winter break, and even looked out the window and no one was passing by, so I quietly stuffed a letter.

I was so overjoyed that I almost jumped up and asked her in a very low voice, "Who sent it?" ”

"A small guard from Yu Linwei sent it."

When I opened the envelope, I felt that the paper was full of tenderness, and the words were subtle and affectionate-

Qingqing Xiaosu, seeing the words is like meeting.
