Zhong Jinxiu sent the girl away, and then she was alone at home basking in the sun, she often listened to books in the teahouse, first, to know what had happened recently, and secondly, to see if there was any news of her family.

Half a year ago, the news of King Huan's death came out, and the emperor was gone, the crown prince ascended the throne, and the crown princess Shen Laidi was named the queen.

Moreover, in the Zhong family, the old lady was poisoned by the second lady, and her father was angry and ordered Zhong Hou to divorce her wife, but the old lady was still gone.

This was a great joy, but his father had to keep filial piety because of this, resigned from his official position, and returned to his hometown in Changzhou.

My father was young, why did he resign?

How could the emperor promise again?

Just Changzhou?

Her next stop is to go back to Changzhou.

It's just that Miss Wanyun just left, and then another guest came, it was Bai Shengyi, Zhong Jinxiu was inconvenient to let her in, so she said, "Is there something wrong with Bai Gongzi?" ”

Bai Gongzi is also the younger brother of her friend, and he knows Bai Shengyi's thoughts, but she really has no mood for him.

"Today's wind and sunshine are beautiful, I wonder if I can invite the girl to go to the lake?"

"I heard that there will be rain today, Bai Gongzi wants to swim in the lake or go another day."

Rain?

The last time he invited her to swim in the lake, she excused herself by saying that she was unwell, and the last time he invited her to swim in the lake, she excused herself by saying catechism and teaching, and before that, she directly said that they were not familiar with each other.

Today is good, it is clearly sunny and windy, but she said that it will rain.

If it was someone else, he would have retreated a long time ago, but he Bai Shengyi was a little thicker in order to get a beauty.

"Today's sister instructed, saying that you are often at home, I am afraid that you will be bored, so let me take care of you a little more, now the wind is beautiful, let's rush to the painting boat, even if it rains, you can enjoy a few points."

Zhong Jinxiu heard her mention her sister, and it was not good for her to lose face.

Zhong Jinxiu smiled and said, "Let me go back and change my clothes." ”

Zhong Jinxiu changed into riding clothes and said, "Let's go, let's go horsebacking." ”

Bai Shengyi looked at the woman who came out, called for a narrow-sleeved water red satin skirt, a silver mouse short jacket, a long ribbon with a bow tied around her waist, and her hair was simply tied in a bun, gently held with a hosta. Fresh and refined, with a unique style.

He was a little stupid.

Xin said: "How can there be such a beauty in this world." ”

Zhong Jinxiu smiled and said: "Although the scenery of the painting boat is beautiful, I love to ride horses and shoot arrows. ”

"Oh, let's go horseback riding."

Zhong Jinxiu thought about it, but this was the only way to dispel his thoughts.

It was not easy to find a horse farm in the land south of the Yangtze River, but I found it after all. In the land south of the Yangtze River, Zhong Jinxiu entered the horse farm, and found a horse to fly up, the style is outstanding, the heroic posture is sassy, the skirt dances in the wind, and the ribbon hunts and flutters. is already beautiful, but at this time, it seems to be even more so: like a fairy in the nine heavens.

made Bai Shengyi admire slightly, and wanted to get her thoughts, a little more.

Zhong Jinxiu gently stroked the horse's back, soothing the horse's uneasiness when he was suddenly used as a mount by a stranger, the horse was quiet, Zhong Jinxiu looked at the people under the horse, and said, "Bai Gongzi, why don't you get on the horse?" ”

"I'm not good at horseback riding."

Zhong Jinxiu smiled and said, "I see, why didn't you say it earlier." Doesn't it make me feel guilty like that..."

"You don't have to feel guilty, I'll help you lead the horse..."

Bai Shengyi was about to grab the reins to please the beauty, but the horse seemed to be unwilling, and let out a long roar, startling him to step back.

Zhong Jinxiu's heart was secretly refreshed, so she said: "Actually, I don't like to go to the lake, you said that listening to a little song in the flower room and watching the scenery is so beautiful." ”

Bai Shengyi wanted to explain, but Zhong Jinxiu said again:

"But you want to invite me to paint the boat, isn't it difficult for a strong man?"

Bai Shengyi sneered: "Since I don't like it, I won't go." ”

Zhong Jinxiu sighed secretly and said, "Get on the horse." ”

"Ahh

"Since you're here, if you don't play, you're always wasting your outfit."

Bai Shengyi had no choice but to get on the horse...

Two hours later, Zhong Jinxiu said: "Have fun today, thank you Bai Gongzi for your kindness, let's play another day." ”

However, Bai Shengyi was bumped by the horse and spit all the way.

Not far away, Shen Mingze sat in the pavilion and watched Zhong Jinxiu straighten out Bai Shengyi, and the corners of his mouth pulled slightly.

Ah Xiang also smiled.

"As soon as today passes, I'm afraid he will rest his mind on his wife."

Shen Mingze snorted lightly.

The Bai family

Bai Shengyi collapsed on the bed tiredly, letting the maids rub the soreness on his body, Bai Siyan looked at his useless appearance, and felt faintly distressed in her heart.

"I told you that this Zhong Jin girl is not an ordinary person, you have to listen. People have said that you don't want to paint the boat, and you still insist on inviting people, which is first of all that you don't know how to be polite..."

"Bai Siyan, are you my own sister, you won't help me?"

Bai Siyan soothed: "Okay, okay, I'll invite her to sit at home another day, and enlighten her by the way?" ”

"Thank you, big sister... If you are born, my brother promises to give you a big red envelope. ”

"Go, go, coax me."

"It's true, brother-in-law, hasn't he always been that piece of salt land in Yangzhou? When the time comes, I'll let Daddy give it to you..."

"Okay, you can't fool around?"

"As long as I can marry this Miss Zhong."

The next day, Zhong Jinxiu went to the academy and had a class today.

There were ten female students in the academy, the oldest sixteen years old and the youngest twelve years old, all of whom were women from various salt merchants, who taught etiquette.

Because she is young and not well-known, these girls are a little dissatisfied with her, so every day in class, they will find trouble.

Xiong Shuzhen, the daughter of the Xiong salt merchant, the oldest, got up and said:

"Master, we don't pay attention to false etiquette today, but throughout the ages, we have divided this ritual into five major types: sacrifice, wedding crown, guest, military, and funeral. The sacrificial thing is an auspicious ceremony, the crown wedding is a family ceremony, the guest is a guest ceremony, the military service is a military ceremony, and the funeral is a murderous ceremony. How about learning funeral etiquette today? ”

Zhong Jinxiu sighed secretly in her heart, although... But there was no refusal.

Now that it has been proposed, this etiquette can be taught and remembered by them.

"To be able to say such a theory, I think Miss Shuzhen has worked hard, since you want to learn funeral rites, then..."

Before Zhong Jinxiu finished speaking, Zhu Cuizhi, the girl of the salt merchant, said happily: "We are all ready for the mourning hall, Master, please." ”

Zhong Jinxiu's face was blank, and she passed with them.

It's just that when they saw that they were in the courtyard of the academy and had arranged the mourning hall, Zhong Jinxiu felt a little headache.

Xiong Shuzhen said: "In this funeral ceremony, there is a cry and mourning, we will not do it, or you will give us a show..."

Zhong Jinxiu looked at the mourning hall, and the tablet was written on the spiritual seat of the master Zhong Jinzhi, and Zhong Jinxiu only felt a little headache.

Even the coffin was ready in the back, Zhong Jinxiu said: "Since it is a crying and mourning, how can no one do anything in this coffin, I don't know which student can go in?" ”

"Although my name is written on it, I still have to cry and mourn, Miss Shuzhen is the oldest here, so it's better to trouble Miss Shuzhen to play me..." ”

"Lie down..."

Saying that, he jumped into the coffin directly, Zhong Jinxiu took the opportunity to add the coffin lid, Xiong Shuzhen was afraid, and hurriedly sat up and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"Naturally, you have to cover it, so that you don't cheat the corpse, cry after the funeral, but also keep the spirit, enter the burial, and finally bury, although this series is tedious, but I try to make it as simple as possible, and bury it today."

Xiong Shuzhen realized something and didn't want to lie down.

It's a pity that before she finished her words, Zhong Jinxiu had already pushed the coffin lid and closed it.

No matter how much the people inside cried, they couldn't open it.

The girls outside were stunned.

The thickness of the coffin lid, they had tried it just now, and it took more than a dozen people to carry it.

She actually pushed it in casually?

Zhong Jinxiu ignored them, walked to the students and said: "There are actually a lot of things to pay attention to in crying and mourning, who is dying, crying and mourning is also different, since my name is written on it, then you can cry according to the gift of the crying master..."

......

The crying voice was very loud, and it was still in the courtyard, and the people who were already making trouble in Jiangnan knew about it.

The ladies of the families did not know the situation, and they came to the academy one after another, wanting to find out about the master.

But when they entered, they heard a sad voice saying, "Kneel..."

Then there was a voice: "Up..."

They were angry, but they saw the words on the spiritual table, and they also found the Master kneeling on one side.

And the girls of their family are now courteous and thoughtful, and this situation has reduced the anger around them a lot.

Mrs. Zhu looked at the situation and said, "Last night, the girl in my family said that she was going to rectify the new master today, and she deceived me of fifty taels of silver, which turned out to be to buy a coffin." ”

"When you say this, the girl in my family also cheated money, but I didn't give it."

Mrs. Xiong said: "Nonsense..."

"Sister, don't be angry, this is also the naughty girls who said a few days ago that they wanted to change the master, but I didn't want to, but now I look at this master, but there are some means, and these girls who are tamed are obedient... And this etiquette is also very thoughtful. ”

Mrs. Xiong said: "Sister, the girls in our family are all older, and I originally thought that the girl from the Bai family had followed the grandmother who came back from the capital to learn for a few months, so we sent people here, but now it is not a courtesy, and it is a joke when it is passed out..."

......

When Shen Mingze heard what happened in the academy today, he squirted out a mouthful of tea, looking incredulous, staring at Ah Xiang.

Ah Xiang replied definitely: "Those female students, led by the girl of the Xiong family, are looking for opportunities to embarrass Mrs. every day, but fortunately, Mrs. She is generous and does not care about them. ”

"Well, it's good to put the daughter of the Xiong family in the coffin."

In the future, the girl will not dare to provoke Master Zhong anymore.

But this matter made a fuss, and the people of the Xiong family went directly to the Bai family to ask for an explanation, and Bai Siyan was waiting inside.
