152 Maidens
After the children woke up from their lunch break, Gao Yi and Yan Jinxin took them to the bathroom and let the children wash their faces and hands by themselves. Back in the classroom again, Gao Yi took the children to do eye exercises.
"Small eyes are very important, and everyone should take care of them. Eat more vegetables, don't be picky, and write in a proper posture. The back is straight and the head is high, and the fist and foot must be remembered. β
After I finished cooking, I was served a fruit snack in the afternoon. It is a real fruit confectionery, a small confectionery made with fruits. Sweet and sour, the children's shop seemed very happy, and each of them ate two small snacks that were slightly larger than copper coins.
Then it's time to line up for water and wait for the last class of the day.
β¦β¦
ββββββββββββ
It's like this day after day, Mingzhu stays in the office when he doesn't have classes. The next issue of Huanchuang is the theme of the Dragon Boat Festival. She was making a string of small rice dumplings out of paper, when Rose came to announce: "Your Highness Qiqi, Miss Zhao Bailian has arrived." β
"Huh?! She's filial piety?! Mingzhu asked curiously. Speaking of Zhao Bailian, she hadn't seen her for more than a year. The last time we met, she was still happily and shyly preparing for marriage, and the joy on her face made people happy for her.
However, there were unforeseen circumstances, just a few days before leaving the cabinet. Her fiancΓ© Liu Dagongzi went out hunting, fell off his horse, and died with a whimper!
This time, Zhao Bailian finally came out of the divorce turmoil, and fell into more serious Kefu rumors. did not marry into the Liu family, and Zhao Bailian did not have to keep filial piety. It's just that Mrs. Zhao is wise and can't bear Zhao Bailian to experience so many rumors, so she plans to save some reputation for Zhao Bailian in the name of filial piety.
"Calculating the time, it has been more than a month since she was filial." Rose made a silent calculation in her heart.
Mingzhu sighed slightly: "Please ask her to wait in my lounge, I'll come over in a while." β
"No."
Zhao Bailian looked at the warm lounge in front of her, slightly stunned.
The lounge was small, half the size of the inner chamber of her boudoir. Entering the door is a carved pastoral double-sided embroidered screen, bypassing the screen, everything in front of you is like another world.
On the right-hand side is a simple single bed, the bed sheets on the bed are just ordinary cotton linen, and the color is simple white powder blue pinstripes. In front of the window, facing the door, is a simple desk, and the tablecloth and curtains are also the same color as the sheets. On the table, a transparent white porcelain vase with a thin neck is inserted with a vivid daisy. On the left-hand side is a row of bookshelves filled with brightly colored books.
This is a completely different layout style from the current aesthetic trend, which makes Zhao Bailian's eyes shine. Suddenly, the gloom in my heart dissipated by two points.
She wanted to take a good look at the books on the shelves, and she wanted to sit at her desk for a while. But in the end, it was still due to the etiquette of the guests, and he sat quietly in the middle of the house, at the reception table specially used to entertain girlfriends.
Just when Zhao Bailian was about to gradually return to her sad face from the warmth brought to her by this room, Mingzhu's laughter came from outside: "Hurry up, hurry up, Bailian, come and help me catch it." β
Zhao Bailian hurriedly walked to the door of the room, and was greeted by a large handful of paper zongzi. After taking a crumbling dumpling, Zhao Bailian asked curiously, "So you don't let the maid help you get it?!" I almost flipped over. β
Mingzhu said indifferently: "I usually only take Rose alone in the kindergarten, just now she has other things to do, I thought it wasn't heavy anyway, so I moved over by myself." β
"It's really not heavy, the paper is made quite similarly, but it takes up a bit of space. What is this for?! Zhao Bailian followed Mingzhu and put things on the desk.
"This is Mr. Hon's ring creation project, which is used to decorate the classroom at a specific time. Tomorrow is the first day of the fifth month, and the children will rest. When the children come back to class, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days. In the past two days, we have to hurry up and do these things well, didn't I think of your dexterity, and hurry up to pull Zhuang Ding?! Mingzhu pulled Zhao Bailian to the desk and sat down, and gave her a five-color thread. Come, you can help me string these little rice dumplings into a string of seven. β
Zhao Bailian obediently began to work, and couldn't help asking, "So you don't let the maids help?!" β
Mingzhu shook her head: "The maid in the kindergarten will only help the children in life and do some cleaning or something." Other things related to educating children need to be done by Mr. himself. So, even though we had more than twenty students in each class, we had eight or nine gentlemen. But most gentlemen spend many, many hours preparing for their subjects.
In a class of less than an hour, the lesson plan and related preparations alone may be busy for several days. Just to let the children better accept knowledge. Only when you pay, will you focus. It's a career worth paying for. β
"You've got an extra thread on this thread!" Mingzhu interrupted Zhao Bailian's musings as she spoke.
Zhao Bailian hurriedly took off a small zongzi and replaced it with another thread.
Mingzhu would murmur: "Zongzi, mugwort calamus, five-color thread...... What else can you do during the Five Poisons Dragon Boat Festival?! β
"Five poisons?! Dragon?! Zhao Bailian came up with an idea seriously.
Mingzhu was overjoyed when she heard this: "Oops! That's great!! Make five poisons out of paper, you'll do it, right?! You will, right?! β
"Huh?!" Zhao Bailian felt as if something was wrong, but she didn't wait for her to think about it. Mingzhu bent down and took out a stack of colorful cardboard paper from the box under the desk.
"Then I'll leave these to you, you help me make these zongzi today, please take some paper back tonight, make the keel of the dragon boat, come over early tomorrow, and we'll stick the scales together and make the five poisons." Try to set up the classroom before the sun goes down tomorrow, otherwise we'll have to work overtime. β
Zhao Bailian looked at the pile in front of her, a little dumbfounded. What is she doing today?! Aren't you planning to complain to your girlfriends, listen to comfort, and relieve stress?! We were caught in a daze?!
Before his head turned around, he heard Mingzhu ask: "What color is better for the main body of the dragon boat?!" β
With the same conditioned reflex, Zhao Bailian began to make suggestions: "There are so many dark green zongzi, let's use orange for our dragon boat." In this way, the colors of the classroom can be brought to life. Wouldn't it be a little strange to just put a dragon boat in the classroom?! β
"How so?! In the classroom of our class, there is a plant corner. I want a one-and-a-half-foot dragon boat, and when the time comes, I will put the dragon boat on the flower stand and put some small plants in the dragon boat. It's not obtrusive at all, it's just right! β
"Okay then, you can do it yourself if you think it's okay. A foot and a half, right?! I'll take it back later, and I'll make it for you tonight. Mingzhu, your little zongzi's eyes have fallen out. In other words, why do zongzi have eyes?! Weird interesting. Zhao Bailian has been completely brought in, and without saying anything, the idea of the dragon boat has already begun in her head.
Mingzhu was also slowly stringing small zongzi in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is anthropomorphism, smiling can make children feel close and happy." Create a happy class atmosphere. β
The two of them were chatting and laughing like this, and they soon finished wearing the two small rice dumplings in the dustpan. At this moment, the bell rang "Ding Ding Ding ......". Mingzhu smiled and said: "After school, today I took the children to play with toys and waited for the parents to pick them up." Come with me. β
Zhao Bailian was a little moved, but she still refused: "Forget it, I'll go back first." Didn't you say that the dragon boat was done tonight?! β
"Oops! Don't be in a hurry for a while, these children are difficult to manage. Go with me, that you may share some of my burdens. Mingzhu couldn't help but pull Zhao Bailian out.
"You wait, wait! I'll put things down first! β
When Zhao Bailian followed Mingzhu to the classroom, she thought that she could only stand aside and watch what Mingzhu was doing.
As a result, from the moment the toy was sent down, things never stopped. I don't notice the fact that the pearl is paddling.
"Mr. Xiaolian, can you help me see how to put this corner together?!"
"Mr. Xiaolian, why are you so good-looking?!"
"Mr. Xiaolian, Lu Jiangtao snatched my toy!"
"Sir!! Ji Yingjie always pulls my braids!! β
"Wow! - Hit you! β
β¦β¦
After the naughtiest ones were picked up, only Wei Anning and Wei Yining were left in the classroom. In fact, parents of naughty children also want to steal more lazy.
Wei Anning leaned obediently beside Zhao Bailian: "Aunt Lian, do you want to stay in our class as a gentleman in the future?!" β
"Huh?! Gillian still remembers me?! Zhao Bailian was pleasantly surprised, for a six-year-old child. Unless you are a person who has been with you day and night since birth, it is easy to forget if you don't see each other for a year and a half. I didn't expect little Gillian to remember.
Wei Anning said arrogantly: "I told you a long time ago, don't call me by my nickname." My name is Anning! - And I have a good memory! So maybe you forgot Aunt Lian?! An Ning would never admit that she was trying to remember it during the time when she was just playing with toys.
Zhao Bailian said happily: "An Ning is great!" It's just that Aunt Lian won't stay here as a gentleman! β
"Your Aunt Lian really won't be a gentleman in our class, and if she wants to go, she will also go to the small class. There was a gentleman in the small class who had something at home and went back to his ancestral home. It happens to be vacant right now. Mingzhu finished the final tidying up of the classroom, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's all go back?!" Xiaolian and we will go back to the Zhenguo Mansion to finish eating. β
Zhao Bailian, who was confused by Mingzhu's self-talk, was startled, and hurriedly shook her hand and said, "No, no, no!" It's too late, my mother should be worried. I still have something to do! "Originally, my reputation is so bad now, and if I have to go to the Zhenguo Mansion to finish my meal, others must not misunderstand?! She doesn't care, but it makes others misunderstand that the Zhenguo Mansion wants to take a concubine, so it's ugly!
Mingzhu is actually just polite, polite. After listening to Zhao Bailian's words, he took the opportunity to say: "That's okay, see you tomorrow!" β
"See you tomorrow!"
"Goodbye, Aunt Lian!"
"Goodbye!"
After Zhao Bailian came out of the parent-child garden, thinking about everything this afternoon, it seemed that she didn't say anything serious or done. But my heart suddenly relaxed.
Sitting in the small sedan chair, Zhao Bailian thought about it and tears fell. This time it was no longer sad and hopeless, it was full of warmth. Now I finally figured it out, it turned out that what she needed was not comfort and sympathy at all, but that someone could hold her hand equally out of the haze.
Mrs. Zhao came back with red eyes when she saw her daughter, who suddenly said that she was going out to visit a friend today. I was so distressed that tears were about to fall. quickly dispersed the maid ring, took her daughter's hand and walked into the inner room: "What?!" Even Her Royal Highness the princess gave you a look in the face?! β
"How so?! Mingzhu is not that kind of person. The daughter just thought of something for a while, and cried emotionally on the road. Zhao Bailian said with a smile.
"You're just too sentimental, and you'll know later that these things are just a little twist and turn in life. It's not worth suffering so sadly. Mrs. Zhao once again persuaded with a fierce mouth.
Zhao Bailian saw that her mother had misunderstood, and she didn't explain, so she said: "I listened to Mingzhu today, and she wanted to arrange for me to go to the kindergarten to be a husband." I think it's also good, and I want to move to the dormitory of the kindergarten for a while. It just so happened that Hongqu was about to leave the cabinet, so I avoided it to avoid her, so as not to get into bad luck. β
Zhao Hongqu, who was about to knock on the door outside the door, hesitated when he heard the words.
"No matter how good she is with you, she is just a concubine. It was for your sake that I found such a good relationship for her. It's enough, we can't find anyone in the capital who treats concubines like this. "No matter how generous Mrs. Zhao is, her true heart is still extremely disgusted with her children. It's not about character, it's purely a woman's nature to hate the house and Wu.
Zhao Bailian looked at her mother with a sigh, and gently advised: "Hongqu has lost her mother since she was a child, and she grew up in front of you after all. She will live well in the future, won't she have a little more filial piety for you?! Over the years, I have really come to see her as my own sister, and I hope that she can live a better life in the future. After a few days, my mother will give her a few more dowries that I don't need for a while. It's just my eldest sister, and I can't give her an apology for marrying. β
"How can that be!! You are in this situation, and there is no more dowry. Won't your husband's family look down on you even more in the future?! My son, you are going to dig up your mother's flesh! "Mrs. Zhao is like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, and she exploded in an instant.
Zhao Bailian said helplessly: "It's not that you gave it to her, I'm worried that I will give too much, her husband thinks we are greedy for dowry." I just said to pick a few better ones and put them in, so that she will have more face in her husband's house in the future. People can also think highly of her. I think that red smoky satin is good, in recent years, even if I really get married, I'm afraid I won't be able to wear such a flamboyant color again. There is also that set of red gold and ruby heads, painted red screens. can't all be these bright colors, I heard that her husband's family is also a scholarly family. Give her half of my solitary volumes. There is also a set of small pieces of fish play lotus study room carved by Hongfei, which just corresponds to the name of Hongqu. I specially asked someone to do it, and don't forget to put it in when the time comes. β
Every time Zhao Bailian said something, Mrs. Zhao's heart felt like a knife. But now she couldn't bear to refuse her daughter's request, so she had to say: "Okay, good, listen to you!" It's all up to you! It's just that in addition to the screen, it's not that my mother is reluctant, it's just that the screen has been lit in the temple, and it is your name that is read when you ask. You give it to her, and you will rush her. β
"Then I'll thank my mother for Hongqu! I knew that my mother was a knife-mouthed tofu heart! β
"Don't coax meβI owe you ......"
β¦β¦
Zhao Hongqu, who was outside the door, put down his hand, very heartwarming, and left silently with tears. As a concubine, she is destined to be inferior from birth, and if you say that there is no resentment, it must be a lie. But to meet such a mother-in-law and sister-in-law, she is extremely grateful. Perhaps, she can do something for them......
