Chapter 6: The Jade King
A week later, Su Xiaoyan had not finished reading the Analects in his previous twenty years of life, and in this week's time, under the terrible pressure of Grandma Sun, Su Xiaoyan stumbled to finish it. As for memorization, Mama Sun compromised in the torture of Su Xiaoyan's learning attitude that she refused to memorize. (Su Xiaoyan: It's not that I don't want to memorize, it's that I really can't memorize!) In this regard, Mama Sun made her own evaluation: "Miss Su Si is really the most difficult official lady I have ever taught." Because of this sentence, Su Xiaoyan was ashamed for a while, until later after hearing that Mama Sun had taught her alone, Su Xiaoyan: Has this famous saying reached the unity of the world and time and space?
After this painful week, Grandma Sun has a full and thorough understanding of her student's learning level. So, seeing that Su Xiaoyan had basically recognized the common words of the Analects after reading it, he decided to give up the teaching of Su Xiaoyan's poems, books, rituals, and Yile Spring and Autumn Period. In Su Xiaoyan's words, Mama Sun let Su Xiaoyan go, and she also let herself go.
At this time, Su Xiaoyan's knees were basically healed, and Grandma Sun granted Su Xiaoyan a day off and asked her to go out to relax and relax in order to meet the upcoming another storm - etiquette. Su Xiaoyan can't control so much, she has always been drunk today, and life is to be happy in time.
Mama Sun looked at Su Xiaoyan, who was bouncing around with her green plums and going out of the house to play, and muttered to herself: "I hope this princess can take care of the princess." ”
On the street, Su Xiaoyan pulled Qingmei to look left and right. In the past, she had only seen the appearance of ancient streets in costume dramas, but now she realized that the streets in costume dramas were really too poor and sour, with shops on the narrow roadside. On the Tianwu Avenue in front of him, there are sidewalks, horse tracks, and enough places for carriages to pass.
Su Xiaoyan wandered among the bunch of rouge shops and jewelry shops, like a fish in water. Girls are really born to go shopping, and it's the same everywhere. In just a moment's effort, Qingmei's hands were already full of things. What rouge, goose egg powder, balm, lipstick, indigo, etc., as long as you can find something here that can replace modern cosmetics, Su Xiaoyan has all of them. Su Xiaoyan: If there is an eyeshadow palette, mascara, eyeliner, loose powder, and beauty eggs...... It's fine, alas. Although Su Xiaoyan is now very disgusted with the environment of the Su Mansion and Su Jin, she is still very satisfied with the Su family's wealth. Because of social fear, although Su Xiaoyan likes to go shopping, online shopping was fine in the past, but now when shopping in this kind of physical store, even if Su Xiaoyan knows that the price of those shops is inflated, sometimes even twice as much silver, Su Xiaoyan does not have the courage to bargain with the shop owner. Even if he borrowed the courage and returned it, Su Xiaoyan would still buy it at the original price after a round, and by the way, he regretted why his mouth was open. And the silver of Su Mansion made Su Xiaoyan completely relieved, and those shopkeepers were also happy to hear it, after all, who would have trouble with money?
Just as Su Xiaoyan was continuing to shop, a carriage came galloping, and the horseman waved the whip in his hand, but it was not whipped on the horse's body, but on the backs of pedestrians on the road.
In fact, in the capital, the larger the family, the more attention is paid to the education of their children. First, the son will inherit the family business or participate in the scientific examination in the future, and the daughter will marry someone with the same status background or even join the royal family in the future, if even the basic etiquette and temperament are not cultivated, how can the future development of the family be guaranteed? Second, the performance of the juniors in the family is the face of the family, which represents the family's investment in education, strength, and the power of future development. Therefore, the more such a family, the more important the young masters and ladies are to pay attention to the number of courtesies, at least they must do enough work on the surface, be humble and polite, and have a gentle and generous temperament, even if there is a little Jiujiu in their hearts, they are secretly doing something, and everything must be focused on the face of the family.
On the contrary, those who have only risen to prominence in this generation, especially those who have soared to prominence are somewhat sudden, and the juniors in the family are often arrogant and domineering, do not know the importance of it, and show off their might. Just like Shen Million, the third son of the Shen family who is still hurting people on the long street, the ancestral tomb is smoking, and the Shen family has become an imperial businessman from a small businessman in Shen Million's father's generation. At this point, the Shen family has a hairline, and the head of the Shen family can continue the work of the imperial merchant with a little peace, but the juniors of the Shen family can't weigh how many catties and taels they have, and it only took half a year for this third son of Shen to become a famous gentleman in Beijing, notorious, and even proud of it.
Su Xiaoyan's heart has already run through countless grass and mud horses, and this broken carriage can actually drive the momentum of Maybach, which is worth learning (doge). In order to prevent being accidentally injured by the horseman's whip, Su Xiaoyan pulled Qingmei early and hid aside.
Suddenly, a figure flew from the opposite side of the road to the middle of the road, right in the middle of the carriage. "Hiss~" The surrounding people suddenly gasped, because the speeding carriage had arrived in front of them at this time.
The groom's whip flung on the man's back, and several blood streaks appeared in an instant, trying to pull the man to the side of the road, but the man only twitched and was unsuccessful. But the carriage had no intention of stopping, and did not even slow down, and rushed straight towards the man.
Seeing that the man was about to splash blood on the street, the people around him were so timid that they couldn't bear to look at it anymore. At this critical moment, Su Xiaoyan didn't know where he got the courage, and only felt that if he let this man die, he would regret it for the rest of his life. Before Su Xiaoyan's mind could turn, his body had already rushed forward following the guidance of his heart and pulled the man to the side of the road.
Su Xiaoyan sat on the ground gasping for breath, and she was about to die under the horse's hooves with the man. And the carriage drove away, paying no attention to the man who had almost been hit by it.
"Good!" I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and applause erupted. Faced with such a scene, Su Xiaoyan only felt that it was even more terrifying than the horse's hooves just now.
"A real warrior, dare to face the dripping blood, dare to ......" Su Xiaoyan silently recited the words that he remembered out of nowhere, cheering himself up, but his face turned red uncontrollably. At this time, the man recovered from his fright, Su Xiaoyan hurriedly got up, pulled up the man and the stunned Qingmei on the side and fled. And a few words behind him came into Su Xiaoyan's ears.
"Eh, did you see that? That man seems to be a fool Jade King. ”
"It seems to be. That Shen Sanshao was so bold that even the Jade King dared to hit it. ”
"What don't you dare to do, the Shen family is rich, the Jade King is a fool, and he can't please the emperor, it is estimated that it is not a big deal to be killed......"
This...... Is it the Jade King? Her fiancé? Su Xiaoyan thought about it as she ran, her heart full of doubts. If it weren't for her, this Jade King would have almost been knocked to death, why didn't he dodge? This pretending to be stupid is too dedicated. But such a dangerous thing...... If it weren't for the thought in her heart just now, it was clear that no one planned to come to the rescue. Don't...... Is it really stupid? Su Xiaoyan began to doubt his previous judgment.
