It's as if the author writes a novel, writes somewhere, suddenly inspires him, and then explodes, writing desperately without eating, drinking, or sleeping, just wanting his work to meet readers as soon as possible. Mama Hua's performance today feels like this.

Originally, Mama Hua usually only taught classes for one hour, but today, she talked with Ruqing for a whole afternoon. The female red master learned that there was only one student of Ruqing today, so she went back alone, and Mama Hua continued to be accustomed to the code of conduct of being a daughter-in-law with Ruqing, how to deal with the difficult and mean mother-in-law and tricky sister-in-law, how to deal with the scheming and pampered concubine, and explained a lot.

Ruqing listened to most of them, and felt that she benefited a lot, and felt that Mama Hua was really a master in the world, and if she was allowed to open an ancient marriage book, it would definitely be better than modern magazines.

Mama Hua felt that Ruqing was really a good student, so she used her tricks to press the bottom of the box. However, she still pays most attention to the example and argument, and then always hits the lesson and draws conclusions.

For example, the James Mansion is the third grade of the Jamesburg Zhou Shaorong who specializes in assisting the prince, this person is lustful, but he is power-hungry, there is a wife in the family, three equal wives, seven concubines, he is still not satisfied, and he also raised two outer rooms, a lot of concubines and concubines, making the family smoke obstructive, his wife Qi, is the second daughter of the former Ministry of Rites, on the family background, slightly more noble than the Zhou family, but, because she and this Zhou Shaorong are privately agreed for life, was slightly despised by her mother-in-law, although she agreed to Qi's entry, But less than a month after the new daughter-in-law entered the door, she took the initiative to marry her son to a flat wife, and in the following year, on the grounds that the Qi family had nothing to do, she married a flat wife again, and raised two aunts at the same time. This Qi family is indeed unlucky, when he meets such a mean mother-in-law, that day can be regarded as bitter, but the Qi family is also powerful, none of the wives and concubines in Zhou Shaorong's house gave birth to a son and a half daughter, although there are rumors in the outside world that the Qi family did something wrong, but there is no real evidence, and she is impatient. In this way, six years after the Qi family married into the Zhou family, he gave birth to a daughter, and then the belly has not moved, because, it is rumored that Zhou Shaorong has never stepped into the Qi family room for almost half a year, but no matter how hard Zhou Shaorong tries, the belly of his concubine room still has no movement, and he still does not give up, and continues to recruit concubines, until the Qi family figured it out, opened his face to his girl, and after being raised to his aunt, he was actually pregnant, and he was still a boy. The Qi family gained a foothold in the Zhou Mansion through the son born to this aunt, but at that time, the Qi family had become a deep house woman with a withered face and yellow eyes and candles, how could she compare with those young and beautiful concubines----

Ruqing listened to this Qi family's experience, and had a bold guess in her heart, this Qi family, could it be the old lady's sister-in-law? The old lady is also surnamed Qi, and she eavesdropped on the corner of the wall last night, as if she had mentioned the Zhou family, but I don't know if this surname Zhou is related to the old lady.

Mama Hua recounted Qi's experience a little and asked Ruqing: "If you are this Qi family, how will you treat such a family?" ”

Ruqing was stunned for a long time, and then she said: "If I really have such a mother-in-law and husband, I, I can only try to live comfortably ---- ---" Ruqing stammered, it was really embarrassing, although she learned a lot of theoretical knowledge, but it was still very difficult to really implement it. Because there is a mother-in-law who is mean and doesn't like him, there are lustful men below, and there are a lot of beautiful concubines who are eyeing him on the left and right.

Mama Hua shook her head, "It's too idealistic, let's talk about something practical." ”

"---- and ----"

"This is just a middle way, is there any other way?"

Ruqing was stunned, and leaving is just the middle strategy? It's clear that it's the next step, right? "Then, --- invite yourself to the court---"

Mama Hua sighed, shook her head, and looked at Ruqing with a little pity in her eyes, "Isn't there anything else the girl can do?" ”

Ruqing was stunned for a while, and finally blurted out: "Actually, there are still few bastard men in this world, and husbands and wives don't get along well, so you can't blame all men----"

Mama Hua finally showed a little smile, "The girl is very right, the way this husband and wife get along, it depends on the woman to put more effort into it." ”

Ruqing was embarrassed for a while, and she just said it casually.

Mama Hua suddenly straightened her face. "Although this Qi clan is unlucky, it is caused by herself." Then he paused and said: "First of all, as a boudoir woman, she should not make a private agreement with a man for life, the so-called hired as a wife and a concubine." She was so self-respecting when she was in the boudoir, no wonder she was despised by her in-laws. This is a daughter-in-law, once the in-laws don't like it, then everything is wrong, and then say that the daughter-in-law is not in front of the son every day, and if the day goes on for a long time, it will also accumulate and erode the bones. ”

Ruqing listened to the creepy, in modern times, the mother-in-law is fiercer than the tiger, and in this ancient time, the mother-in-law is greater than the sky, then, if she is unlucky to find such a mother-in-law, won't she have no future in her life?

Seeing Ruqing's pale face, Mama Hua was amused in her heart, and said seriously: "Don't worry about the girl." This woman, as long as she is virtuous and feminine, keeps her duty, maintains a good reputation in the boudoir, and is cautious in her words and deeds in her mother-in-law's house, it is indeed not difficult to do so. Then he gave Ruqing some daughters-in-law in the capital who had a better life in her mother-in-law's house and had a good reputation to listen to her, and then exemplified people's behavior and way of doing things, all of which were linked to prudence and prudence. Again, the in-laws, the good treatment of the little uncle and sister-in-law, and the children of the concubine, these are all done, and it is also a broad road.

Ruqing's eyes straightened when she heard this, and she felt more and more that it was really difficult to be an ancient woman. She has to envy those people who travel through the past, sing one or two songs, play two tunes, and chant a few lines of poetry, they can suppress the male protagonist, and then have a good time, why can't she be here? Mrs. is so unfair.

Seeing that people are kind, and she is also dressed, she can show her modern skills in a high style, and get her father to treat her differently, and then eat fragrant, drink spicy, and live a good life.

Taking Rushan as an example, Ruqing was suddenly extremely depressed, as if, she had disgraced the crossing girl, and she had lost face, alas----

Ruqing listened to Mama Hua's explanation all afternoon, and felt more and more that she was in front of her, this marriage is really not a job done by people, but even such an open modern woman will be gossiped about once she does not marry after thirty, let alone this ancient time.

Mama Hua and Ruqing told about some extreme cases, all of which reminded several of the most important ancient women's survival skills.

First, we must be cautious in our words and deeds, without the slightest mistake, and without any stain on our reputation.

Second, it is against morality to listen to the orders of parents, the words of the matchmaker, make a private decision for life, or elope with others, and meet men in private, and they will be drowned in saliva.

Third, the so-called gun shoots the first bird, a woman is too outstanding in the boudoir, or too good, she will be praised by the stars, but in terms of lifelong events, she is not as good as an ordinary woman to marry. Therefore, you still have to be cautious in your words and deeds.

Fourth, a woman follows her father at home, marries her husband, and is decent in her mother-in-law's family, one is her own efforts, the second is her heirs, and the third is her mother's strength, so whether she is in the boudoir or marrying into her mother-in-law's family, she must maintain a good relationship with her mother's family.

Fifth, in the worst case, you have to serve your in-laws well, educate your children well, manage your family well, and manage your property well.

Ruqing's eyes straightened when she heard this, and she once again sighed that Mama Hua was really a marriage expert. Hua Mama finally listed the Jingwang couple in Beijing, Princess Jing's background is not high, and she married into the Jingwang Mansion, but she was also excluded by many parties, but she relied on her excellent psychological quality, lowered her eyebrows and served her in-laws, was empathetic to help her husband, and managed the palace like an iron fence, so that she had no worries. Extremely patient to teach his children, even the concubines are treated equally, and the most commendable thing is that he is gentle and generous to her husband's concubines, never jealous, never partial, and not suppressed. If the concubine's room is peaceful, she has always treated her gently, and if she is restless, she will use a thunderous fist to suppress it bloodily. Over time, Princess Jing was recognized as a model of a successful housewife in the circle of noblewomen in the capital, and was rumored to be a beautiful talk and a role model for learning.

Ruqing listened with infinite fascination, she had seen Princess Jing, and the first feeling was that this Princess Jing had an inviolable majesty in her kind attitude, spoke decently, and acted in a measured manner, and was a natural socialist who was exquisite and long-sleeved and good at dancing. Dealing with this kind of person, as long as there is no conflict of interest, it must be comfortable to get along. Once it comes to interests, it is estimated that if it is sold, it will help others count the money.

It's just that Ruqing is a little strange, how did Mama Hua touch the Jingwang Mansion so thoroughly? Even Princess Jing has an old migraine disease, Prince Jing has a cold and damp disease, and Li Xiao, the son of King Jing, was assassinated by King Jing's concubine when he was a child and almost lost his life.

Mama Hua said lightly: "Because, I am the grandmother of King Jing's son, and I have been in King Jing's Mansion for 12 years."

----

Mama Hua is Li Xiao's grandmother, this major news really shocked Ruqing, she felt that she couldn't digest such a large news alone, and someone had to help digest it.

So, Ruqing told the old lady.

The old lady attaches great importance to the way of self-cultivation, every morning to drink a big bowl of boiled water with honey, eat some seasonal fruits after lunch, and drink a bowl of tea after dinner, at this time, it has passed the time, the Fang Mansion has entered a state of rest, the old lady has been served by Ruzhen, took off her jacket, ready to go to bed, after listening to Ruqing's words, the old lady slowly put down the teacup, looked at Ruqing's pink apple face, and said lightly: "What does the girl think now?" ”

"Thoughts?" Ruqing was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "No." ”

"Really?"

Ruqing was puzzled, and said suspiciously: "My granddaughter just thinks that Mama Hua is too powerful, and she has actually been Li Xiao's nurse." As for the idea, well, a little bit. ”

The old lady's eyes flashed, "Really?" So, let's hear about it? ”

Ruqing smiled hesitantly, with a greedy look, "King Jing's family has a big business, and there is so much silver that there is no place to spend it." Mama Hua must have saved a lot of private space. Ruqing said in a tone of infinite fascination: "No wonder Mama Hua wears such a spirit, it turns out that she has indeed seen the world." ”

The old lady was stunned for a while, and even Ruzhen couldn't help but smile, "You are a girl who has lost money, you only think about the private house that Mama Hua saved, and you are not ashamed." If people are not related to you, no matter how much they save, they will not share your son. “

Ruqing nodded, thinking deeply, "That's true, so, I thought, if I have no money, just like Mama Hua, find a fat big family to work, with my ability to bend and stretch, I will definitely get a lot of benefits." In order to increase the real effect of her tone, she also clenched her fists and cheered.

If you really heard it, her eyes straightened, and she covered her lips and laughed.

The old lady was so shocked that she was speechless and almost fell off the kang.

On the second day, Ruqing yawned profusely while letting Linglong serve herself, alas, she had to climb out of the warm quilt at dawn every day, and then asked the old lady to say goodbye, and by the way, she also asked Fang Jinglan and Li to ask the old lady to ask for peace, so that they could have the opportunity to express their father's love and mother's kindness.

Every time I think of myself, I haven't been so cautious in modern times, but in this ancient world, I can't help but sigh, when will this kind of hard life end?

Mama Hua said that a woman has to become a woman to be a little more relaxed, but when that time comes, where will she still be sleepy?

"Girl, isn't the servant good enough?" Linglong suddenly spoke, Ruqing stayed for a long time, and then looked at Linglong seriously and nodded, "Yes, very progressive." ”

Linglong was about to grin, but Mrs. Shen on the side interjected: "But there are still shortcomings." Let's say it's so cold that you only have a face wash for the girl. Do you know that the first thing to do when you get up is to cough your mouth and then wash your face, and there are many places where the girl's house is exquisite, from tomorrow, you have to prepare saliva for the girl first, and then prepare hot water, understand? ”

Linglong nodded, indicating that it had been noted.

Mrs. Shen smiled with satisfaction, "Don't be afraid of the old woman, you can become a personal servant by the girl's side, if you rely on the girl's grace, you can't convince the public, and you have to have some skills." The first thing is to wait for a good girl, and to make sure that the water passes without a trace---" Mrs. Shen talked about the top way of waiting in the palace, "Do you know how the palace maids in the palace serve their masters?" That's the division of labor and cooperation, round-the-clock waiting, the slightest negligence, the light is a slap, the heavy is a board, there is no room for negotiation. Then he listed the concubine Jing of the year, that is, the biological mother of the four princes today, although she was only the daughter of a four-grade official, she only brought a wet nurse and two personal girls when she entered the palace, although she was not too favored after entering the palace for many years, but her palace was properly managed, and the slaves around her were not betrayed and had two hearts, the two girls were loyal to Concubine Jing, and she was also clever and tactful, although Concubine Jing was not very favored, and was even framed to death, but she desperately placed the back road for the two girls before she died, and after Concubine Jing died, A girl was arranged to marry the Praetorian Guard general as a concubine, and when the wife died of illness, she was supported into the main room. The other girl married Jinyi Wei Qianhu as his wife, although the two girls had a low status, but since childhood, they were concubine Jing**, after marrying into her husband's family, because of her thoughtfulness and prudence, she has a good way of managing her family, and gradually she is also liked by her husband's family, and after giving birth to an heir for her husband's family, her status is already as stable as a rock. And these two people have been walking in the palace for many years, and they have a little understanding of the situation in the current dynasty, and from time to time they persuade one or two in their husbands' ears, so that their husbands can avoid disasters and dangers.

Mrs. Shen carefully talked about the final good ending of the two girls, and then continued: "These two girls are able to serve Concubine Jing effectively, and Concubine Jing also worked hard to show the way to the two girls before she died. Those two martial artists, although they are ordinary in appearance and their rank is not high, they were also selected by Concubine Jing after asking around for verification. Linglong, the old woman said a lot, do you know the meaning of this? ”

Linglong blushed and said in a low voice: "Mother Shen's hard work, how can Linglong not know, thank you Mother Shen for your admonition and exhortation, Linglong will always keep in mind and wait for the girl." Then he said awkwardly: "When the time comes, the girl will have to find a good family for the maid, otherwise, otherwise, ---."

Ruqing was amused by her squirming movements and asked, "How else?" ”

Linglong blushed, unable to speak for a long time, and finally, stomped her foot and shouted: "Oh, don't ask, girl, the maid will serve you in the future." If there is a bad place to wait, the girl can just open her mouth to beat and scold. But, don't let the servant --- you indiscriminately" and felt that this was embarrassing, and ran out with his face covered.

Ruqing was dumbfounded, how old is this Linglong, and she began to think about getting married, is she precocious, or has she never entered the state?

Mrs. Shen smiled and scolded at the back of Linglong running out: "What a shameless little hoof, at a young age, I don't learn how to serve people well, but I want to do some messy things." Fortunately, you are lucky, our girl is soft-hearted, if you meet someone else, you will definitely be exposed. Look at you're still thinking cranky. After scolding, he turned to Ruqing and said, "Although Linglong, this girl is not able to wait, but you are still loyal to the girl, and you will have a good life in the future, I believe that the girl will be satisfied." Then he assured Ruqing that when she was young, she was a powerful girl beside her master, who specialized in training ** subordinates, giving her some time, and definitely training Linglong to be her right and left hand.

Ruqing nodded unconsciously, looked at Shen Pozi carefully, dressed in a blue and blue armor, with a simple bun combed on the back of her head, her head style was simple and old-fashioned, and her dress was also swollen, but she could vaguely see the slender figure, in fact, Shen Pozi was not old, and it was estimated that she was less than fifty years old. If it weren't for the ugly scar on his forehead, in fact, Mrs. Shen would still be good-looking, but her complexion would be a little darker.

Seeing that Ruqing was only blindly staring at herself and guessing, Shen Pozi was slightly flustered, touched her face indiscriminately, and said in a low voice: "Girl, there is nothing dirty on the old woman's face, right?" ”

Ruqing retracted her gaze and raised a look of indifference, "No, in fact, I only found out now that Mother Shen is still good-looking." ”

Mrs. Shen couldn't cry or laugh, "Girl, where are you talking about this, the old women are a lot older, they are all old, and they are all good-looking." The girl doesn't make fun of the old woman. It's you, girl, born so delicately, I believe that you will be a rare beauty when you grow up. I don't know how much of the child's eyes will be sucked into. ”

Ruqing smiled and shook her head, "Mother Shen has lifted me, no matter how good-looking I am born, it is just skin." Whether it is beautiful or ugly, there will be a day when you will grow old, and after a hundred years, it will not be a pile of dry bones? ”

Mrs. Shen nodded, and suddenly sighed: "The girl knows so much at such a young age, I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate?" ”

Ruqing smiled lightly and said nothing, she just saw it more thoroughly than others.
