The second grandmother smiled and nodded, observing Yang's eyes with a look of surprise, indicating that she had not been taught before, and the child was very smart, observant, cautious and moderate, very good.

"Very good, I observed carefully without teaching, the choice was correct, I was bold and careful, and I did well in the first assessment today. Enjoy a dish. ”

The maid outside immediately stepped forward with a mahogany tray, and a light side dish was placed in front of her table, and the color was very beautiful.

Zilan thanked her again, "Thank you uncle and grandmother for the reward." ”

"Well, sit down."

Zilan sat back in her seat, her forehead was already sweating, and she subconsciously glanced at Sister Guifeng next door, she stretched out her thumb to herself and showed a bright smile to express her appreciation.

She exhaled slightly, relieving the tension in her heart, and she was sweating as if she had entered the examination room.

"Shishi, do you know why the dishes are red today?"

The third grandmother ordered her granddaughter to take the school exam first.

After Song Shishi got up and saluted, she paused slightly and said: "Today is the beginning of spring, the day when all things are born and awakened, this time of year is our family banquet, and the family reunion is a festive meaning;

It is the beginning of spring again, which is considered a double happiness, so it is advisable to use red dishes to express the meaning of celebration, and finally Sister Lan'er is the first time to participate in the family banquet of the Song family, and also expresses her welcome to return to the sect. ”

The second grandmother smiled, "It's not bad, the reaction is fast enough, reward." ”

The maids once again served a dish to Song Shishi alone with a mahogany tray, which was a reward.

Zilan secretly speculated in her heart, didn't she answer the wrong answer and didn't give the food to eat, so she sat down? That's embarrassing, isn't it?

Secretly looking at her mother Yang, the second grandmother smiled, "Don't look at her, today is the day of your assessment, although you haven't learned the rules of the Song family, but your mother specially invited you to the grandmother next to the Queen Mother, so you also have to accept the assessment."

Originally, it was said that the assessment would start a month after you entered the house, but now you can take the test directly if you have a grandmother. ”

Zi Lan had a bitter face, looked at her mother sadly, and Yang covered his mouth and smiled, doing bad things with good intentions.

It's all because the Yang family doesn't know much about the rules of the Song family, and immediately after marrying Song Zhengtian, he went to the place of exile for nine years, so he didn't know much about what the Song family was like.

The banquet was only eaten once when she got married, and she didn't find anything special because of her own excellent rules, so she misunderstood, and she knew that she didn't need to ask for advice and lead Mama in this way, so that the Song tutor would be finished.

Yang lowered his head and leaned forward slightly, "It's my fault, I always think about Zhengtian's low official position, and I'm afraid of delaying the child's teaching."

I'm a burnt roll, so I thought about asking a grandmother to help teach one or two, and there is no dispute between our family's peace and stability, I'm worried that the child is too naïve and makes the elders laugh. ”

The second grandmother waved her hand and smiled: "No wonder you don't know, on the third day after you entered the door, Zhengtian got an order to go out, and I haven't had much contact with my family, so I don't know."

It's also great to invite Mama to be able to deter a villain and plan for the future. Zhengtian told me your plan, for the mother's plan for the child, it's not wrong, it's better if you don't, if you don't have it, don't force it.

It's good to come back this time, not only Lan'er has to learn, but you also have to learn, and you have to know more about the affairs of our clan, you are the eldest granddaughter-in-law, and the rules are very good, but some of the rules of our family are in contact, and you have to contact Mrs. Shijiao. ”

"Yes, it's good for me to learn from my younger siblings, and a few younger siblings and sisters-in-law have helped me a lot."

Yang nodded humbly.

Zilan snickered in her heart, thinking that her mother was also in a cold sweat, hehe, I can't be nervous alone, we are in trouble together.

The next few children were named for assessment, but fortunately, they all answered correctly, and everyone got a dish.

Not long after, the second and third grandfathers also entered the house with the boys, and the women moved quickly, and the men sat on the left side of the wives, while the boys lined up in the empty space behind the left.

Today, my father also came, and I also met several other cousins, and it seems that this is a major event in the family.

"Today is the Spring Banquet, it is rare for everyone to get together, although the people are not neat but it doesn't matter, everyone did well last year, take this opportunity to welcome the Zhengtian family home.

I would also like to thank them for donating to the clan the supply of ancestral fields and genealogy, as well as books and many other things.

Over the years, the sons and daughters have not forgotten the clan, and they have contributed their own strength to the rich and powerful contributions, and we as elders are very pleased to see you united, and we will be able to explain to our ancestors and ancestors in the future after a hundred years. ”

The second grandfather and the third grandfather and other old people got up and gestured with their wine glasses.

Everyone stood up, "We are united, keep the family motto, and dare not forget." ”

The second grandfather pressed his palm, and everyone sat down again.

At this time, the maids rushed in with the vegetables and fish, and put the dishes on the table, and Zilan silently observed what others did during the whole process.

The spring banquet focuses on spring dishes, there are not many dishes in each dish, at most two or three, one eats and then goes to the other, the elders move the chopsticks first, and the younger generations can move the chopsticks.

Eat with a small plate, and don't let the soup drip on your clothes, which is indecent.

When eating, you can't make a sound, you have to chew in small bites, and you can't make strange noises with your mouth, which is indecent.

During the whole process, you are required to sit upright and keep your back as straight as possible, and you can bend down and bow your head when eating, and you must maintain an elegant posture.

After eating a meal, Zilan felt stiff and very hard.

Lunch time is an hour and a half, and there are a lot of dishes and the taste is very good, but there are more rules.

In the afternoon, the girls have no classes, and the master has a holiday today, so the girls from other families can go home to rest, while the girls from their own family have to stay with the aunts to continue learning skills.

For example, what kind of situation needs to be done when feasting, including whether the dishes are white or blue and white porcelain, there are particulars and rules.

There are also other skills to learn and use, such as tea art, incense, piano skills, paintings, etc., including the position of the person to stand during the sacrifice, and what clothes to wear to conform to the rules.

The incense is taught by the Yang family, the tea art is taught by the second aunt, the piano technique is taught by the third aunt, the painting is taught by the fourth aunt, and the sacrificial etiquette is taught by the second grandmother herself.

From today on, Zilan will learn etiquette rules from scratch in the Song family, skills, and even gestures must be standardized, and become a real noble lady of the family.

When I got home, I had to have Mama Qi for a supplementary inspection, and I couldn't fall behind in my studies, and Song Zhengtian had other courses for the two children.

Zilan was so busy that she flew up, so she could only use her sleep time to increase the amount of homework in the space, constantly familiarize herself with it, and integrate it as much as possible.

After studying for a few days in a row, it was finally time for Mu Xiu, and the brother and sister simply breathed a sigh of relief.

The Yang family also had free time and agreed to take them back to their grandfather's house for a day of leisure.

The Song family is different from other people's families, each house manages the affairs of its own house, but on the big day and the affairs of the clan, everyone works together to manage it together, and the people at the head of the house are more difficult at home.

For example, the second grandfather was in charge of the Yang family's room, and the second grandmother was worried about her if she didn't come back.

The second grandfather is Song Zhengtian's uncle, his father is his brother. The Song family has a bit of a family, and Zilan still can't recognize all of them, so the elders will take the initiative to tell them what to call them.

The older clan elders are no longer careless, hiding in the countryside to cultivate and idle, they have to call their great-grandfather or ancestor to be appropriate, and now the housekeepers and children are all from the generation of uncles and grandfathers.
