Chapter 87 Examination School
Zilan also nodded suddenly, Dad is really not too worried about whether he can invite Mama, the reason why my mother is worried is because of her different upbringing, Dad can't say a word or two to her, and if she says too deeply, it may hurt her mother's face.
Inviting Mama is so that someone can help you in the future, and you can also use the power of the Queen Mother to play a deterrent role, and there are many benefits, so if you can't invite it, it's just that.
When they arrived at the Song family, the house they bought was not too far from the Song family's own house, and it was close and convenient to move around.
Before getting off the bus at the door, the brother and sister spit out the mint leaves in their mouths and tidied up their appearance before getting out of the car.
At the gate of the clan school, the third grandfather stood there to check everyone's appearance one by one, and when he read, he had to look like he was reading, his clothes were crooked and sloppy, where was your mind.
Seeing that the two brothers and sisters were neat and neat, they nodded slightly and let them go.
Sure enough, the house rules were spot-checked in the morning class, and Zilan was the third to be spot-checked, and she memorized it fluently and had a good word.
The third grandfather nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, it seems that it is useful to go home, very good." ”
The reason for this is because she is the youngest girl in the Song family, if she can recite it, you can't say it if you can't recite it, you are not as good as a girl under five years old in my Song family, stupid donkey.
At the end of the morning class, I entered the school to study, and the historical records I learned today were personally lectured by the third grandfather, and I told you in the form of storytelling.
Zilan listened to it as if she was drunk and infatuated, and sighed with emotion, the historical records of this era are very different from those of her previous life, and she can't answer if she doesn't listen carefully.
It was almost noon, and the third grandfather assigned homework before class, and asked each of them to write a reflection and analyze what they heard.
Song Shishi, who was sitting next to her after class, finally let out a long breath, "Finally class is over." ”
"Hey, hey! Third sister, you are very afraid of the third grandfather. ”
The third grandfather is Song Shishi's own grandfather.
"Of course I'm afraid, if I don't study well, my grandfather will beat me on the board, and my brother will be beaten a lot."
Song Shishi pouted, and Zilan laughed with a loveless look.
Someone came to the inner courtyard, and an old grandmother saluted the girls in the house, "The old lady wants the girls of the Song family to go to the main courtyard, and they will have dinner in the main courtyard at noon today." ”
"Thank you Mama Yan, let's go now."
Song Guifeng was the oldest, and immediately got up and bent his knees in response.
The main courtyard is the wife of the patriarch, they want to call the second grandmother, and they are also the aunts of the father Song Zhengtian, and the position of the patriarch is selected after consultation with the clansmen, and it is not decided according to the official position, but according to the comprehensive evaluation of personal ability.
"Let's go, we're going to learn etiquette."
Song Shishi sighed helplessly, this meal was not easy.
"Ah, do you want to do a spot check?"
Zilan was a little nervous, given the strict rules of the Song family, she was also very cautious, for fear that it would be bad to make a mistake and make a joke.
"Well, you want to instruct us on dining etiquette, and teach us some other things, my aunt and aunts will be there, and today is a family dinner. They check our etiquette regularly and teach us something, and you will know when you go. ”
Song Shishi didn't say it too clearly for a while, just smiled mysteriously.
Zilan observed that only a few girls from the Song family, and the other girls who were not surnamed Song stayed in the school hall and watched them leave with envious eyes.
"Sister, why don't they go?"
"This is the upbringing of the Song family, teaching the Song family girl alone, once a few days, you just came to study and are not diligent, and when you reach my age, you will know, you have to go to the main courtyard to study every afternoon.
Sometimes it's etiquette, sometimes it's how to feast guests, what etiquette and what taboos and rules are needed for banquets, what are the differences between white things and happy events;
Or what are the rules for going to other houses, how to deal with different situations, etc., we must learn carefully, and the aunts will spot check us at any time.
When it is bigger, we will have to take care of the account steward, and everyone will be in charge of a share, and if we are wrong, we will pay for it, and we will be punished.
In the end, we must be able to take down the general affairs and clan affairs of the entire Song family by ourselves and become a qualified clan woman, and the criteria for unqualified people to choose relatives are different.
The boys also have their own assessment standards, and they also have to receive a family discipline every afternoon, which is stricter than us. ”
Song Shishi took her hand and whispered to her to explain the rules.
Zilan flattened her mouth, wanting to cry without tears, it's so complicated, huh, how have the little people seen so many rules.
Song Shishi saw her frowning like a little old lady, and immediately smiled and pinched her little face.
"Don't worry, most of them are the same as the grandmothers you invited, but there are a few more details, these are all learned slowly, and the days are still long."
Zilan smiled reassuringly, it seemed that she would increase her practice in the space in the future, and she must not hold back and make people laugh.
Don't fight for steamed buns, it's all one head and two eyes, and I can learn if others can learn it.
When they entered the room, they saw that the hall had been lined up on the left and right sides of the long low table, with refreshments on it, and there was a maid ring kneeling on the ground on the left hand of each small table, which should be waiting to serve them.
And there is already a row of ladies sitting on the left, and the observation is that the women's hair bun should be the daughters-in-law of the Song family, but I didn't expect her mother to be there, and I didn't mention it when I went out in the morning.
Zilan stood beside Song Shishi and was surrounded in the middle.
Song Guifeng led six or seven Song family girls to take a step forward, saluted the two old ladies on the main seat, knelt on the futon first, pressed her left hand and flattened her right hand and slowly bowed down to the house.
Song Shishi and the others followed suit, Zilan calmly took a breath and drew the gourd according to the appearance of her sisters, saluting without hurry, without panic.
"Say hello to the second and third grandmothers, and say hello to the aunts."
"Say hello to the second and third grandmothers, and say hello to all the aunts."
The crowd responded in unison.
The two old ladies on the left and right on the main seat glanced at each other, and the second grandmother on the left was in good spirits, with a kind face, wearing an indigo blue Tuanhua Bafuxiang skirt, and a golden hairpin with a ruby hairpin on her head.
chuckled downward, "Yes, nothing wrong, let's get up." ”
Zilan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Sister Guifeng, and slowly led everyone to get up.
"Take a seat."
The second lady in the first place on the left is the second daughter-in-law of the Song family, who is also a cousin, and can be replaced by a second aunt.
Song Shishi sat down with everyone, Zilan didn't know where to sit, so she was one step behind, and seeing that everyone had chosen a seat, it seemed that it was not the same as she thought of arranging seats according to age.
Song Shishi saw that Zilan was a little dazed, glanced at her, and then towards the first position, Nunuzui, Zilan received the signal and walked quickly to the front.
Before entering the first seat on the right, I subconsciously looked around, and found that my mother was sitting in the first position, and immediately understood how to arrange it, and sat down with peace of mind.
All this was seen by the old lady and the aunts, and their eyes showed smiles.
The third grandmother on the right side of the main seat asked, "Lan'er, why do you have such a row of seats?" ”
Zilan stood up and first saluted the lord's throne to show respect, then looked up slightly, and said boldly: "I saw that my sisters had clearly entered their positions before, and they didn't hesitate at all, which means that they have long been clear on weekdays."
It's the first time I've come, and when I saw Sister Shishi's gesture to me, I found that my mother and I were in the same position, which meant that they were ranked according to my father or grandfather, and it should be because my grandfather was the eldest in the long house. ”
