Chapter Twenty-Four: A Good Story

Xia Yanqing's purpose in reading and learning calligraphy is by no means to be an ancient talented woman who is a Laoshizi.

She remembered many records of poetry, calligraphy and painting in later generations. Not to mention the ordinary talented women, they are famous in history and have been handed down through the ages.

She has experienced more than ten years of systematic education, and she knows better than anyone whether she has talent or not. She is just an ordinary person, and at most she is a middle-class asset.

The reason why Mr. Bai was recognized as gifted was only because she had been educated for many years. That kind of education is not the kind of ancient times, where only the husband learns petty fights.

It is the collection of the painstaking efforts of countless educators, the accumulation of hundreds of years of educational experience, the extraction of the essence of each subject, the educational methods and teaching materials that have been achieved, and the vast and extensive knowledge of modern times, which Mr. Bai could not imagine at all.

Under this premise, with her ordinary qualifications, even if she works hard, she has learned it over the years, which is Xu Qinghui's level. Coupled with the accumulation of knowledge in her previous life, she may be better than Xu Qinghui, but I am afraid that she can't even see the smoke and dust on the soles of Li Bai and Tang Bohu's feet, and in the end she can only play a role in self-entertainment.

And the lives of Li Bai and Tang Bohu...... Alas, don't say it.

Therefore, she doesn't think as much as Xu Qinghui, and spends a lot of time on self-entertainment.

If you want to live a good life in this world, the practicality of what you have learned is the most important thing. For Mr. Bai's teaching of painting, poetry and songs, she attaches much importance to the same as when she was in school, and she can only complete the homework left by the teacher carefully.

As for the talent, talent and other things that were rendered by Mr. Bai, forget it, it is far better to practice more calligraphy, learn more to understand and write ancient texts, and read more practical books.

She could guess the content of Mr. Bai's exchange with Yuan's family, but she didn't know what Yuan's thoughts were, let alone know that she had an amazing learning ability to let the outside world know later, and it would actually bring more reputation to the Wang family.

…………

The communication between Yuan and Mr. Bai was very smooth, and Mr. Bai promised that if the Wang family urged Xia Yanqing to have an effect, he would not communicate with Xia Zixi for the time being.

Seeing Mr. Bai away, Yuan thought about it, he was just a sister-in-law, Xia had just entered the door, and he was not close to the Wang family, so he didn't talk to Xia Yanqing without authorization, but chose to reply to his mother-in-law first.

She sent Xu Qinghui, who was full of worries, back, and went to Xuanbei Hall to talk to Mrs. Liu.

At this time, it was not early, and when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, Wang Tao also came back.

After listening to Yuan's matter, Mrs. Liu and Wang Tao were a little troubled, and their moods were complicated.

There are two talented women in the family, still a wife and a concubine, and the Xia family is weak now, and they can't see anything. The Xu family is not content to be low and small, and Mrs. Liu misjudged the situation of the Xia family before, and promised the Xu family that she would treat the Xu family as the main room.

If this situation continues, if the Xia family has more talent than the Xu family, and the money must be put in the right room, how can the relationship between the two be mediated?

Mrs. Liu said distressedly: "Qinghui is the daughter-in-law of our family's three media and six appointments after all, and Xiyu and Qinghui are about to get married, and the Xia family has a hard kick. Even if the Xia family is really talented, we can't treat Qinghui slowly because of this. ”

Wang Tao was also helpless, so he had to say: "It's nothing, my mother and mother should enlighten her and discipline them a lot." In any case, those who are daughters-in-law and children must always be filial to their mother-in-law and follow their husband's will, and they will not have the opportunity to make waves. ”

After a pause, he was a little happy, and said with a smile: "This is not a bad thing, my mother urges Xia to be careful in her schoolwork, if she can really become a generation of talented women, it will still be of great benefit to our family." It is best that Xu can be stimulated by Xia and can go further in his talents. Perhaps, Xiyu's wife and concubine can achieve a good story of our Wang family. ”

This kind of good story is more influential than a course and two champions, and it will be widely disseminated by good deeds, and with the assistance of their brothers' real imperial examination talents, it will even be interpreted into a script.

This kind of folk preaching can lay a foundation for the Wang family for decades to come.

Mrs. Liu and Yuan didn't expect Wang Tao to think so far-reaching, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

Mrs. Liu hesitated: "The women in the back house are the most cautious in competing for their husband's favor, but I am afraid that these two may not be able to get along." "A good story or something, the two of them have to be able to maintain a superficial relationship, okay?

Wang Tao looked at Yuan: "This is for the mother and the lady to mediate, and I will also tell Xiyu that things have come to this point, but it is not the time to act according to his temperament." ”

…………

Originally, Xu Qinghui planned to hide Xia Yanqing's matter from Wang Xi, but who knew that Wang Tao did not hesitate at all, and in the evening of the same day, he called Wang Xi to the study and really told him.

Then, Wang Xi made a bitter face and returned to Xu Qinghui's room in Chunxi Garden.

Wang Tao called the people away, and Xu Qinghui knew what the two brothers were going to say. She remembered that her mother had said that for men, family and personal glory are the most important things, and everything else is an auxiliary to that goal, and women are even more so.

I was entangled in my heart, I don't know if Wang Xi would put her first when facing a talented woman with a family background

She waited for Wang Xi to come back, but fortunately, what she was waiting for was not Wang Xi's excited face, but a frowning and unhappy look.

Xu Qinghui waved Qing Dai back and waited for Wang Xi to change his coat. Seeing Wang Xi turn around and sit on the couch, her heart was relieved. It was already late, and since Wang Xi had changed his coat and sat down, he didn't plan to go to Xia's room.

She served tea to Wang Xi, sat beside him, and asked carefully, "Big brother looking for you, did you mean something about Xia Yanqing?" ”

Wang Xi picked up the teacup, put it down in annoyance, and said irritably: "Big brother asked me to urge you and Xia, let you work poetry, calligraphy and painting, and say what is a good story about two talented women working together." Have one's head in the clouds! Now, they haven't even solved Xia's laziness in schoolwork, so they take her for granted and attribute her to a talented girl, which is ridiculous! ”

Xu Qinghui's mood was instantly depressed, and sure enough, with Mr. Bai's evaluation, the Wang family treated Xia Yanqing differently.

She said: "Then I'll start tomorrow and go to Qiuyue Garden to say hello to the second grandmother." Since the eldest brother values the second grandmother, we can't go against the wishes of the eldest brother. ”

Wang Xi couldn't see that Xu Qinghui was wronged, so he took her over and comforted: "No, the eldest brother didn't mean that." The eldest brother treats you the same as the Xia family, so he said that he worked together. Don't worry, there is a mother who promised to treat you as a proper room, and I am here, and I will never let you be wronged. ”

Xu Qinghui lowered her head and leaned on Wang Xi's arms, pursing her lips tightly.

said lightly, with Xia's background, even if she is only coarse in writing and ink, she can still be firmly pressed against her. Wang Xi's eldest brother's meaning is obvious, that is, he wants her to bow down and be small, and provide for the Xia family. Only in this way can she and Xia Yanqing be reconciled and make a good story, right?
