Fang Jinglan attaches great importance to the reading of his brothers, so he entrusted a lot of relationships and invited a famous person surnamed Hu Mingjin in the current dynasty, who is a writer. That Hu Jin is wild and unrestrained by nature, after being lifted, on the grounds that the wife of the family is not allowed to go to court, he refused the request of the examiner in charge of the imperial examination to stop his wife and remarry, the matter is quite big, the examiner is annoyed and angry, and secretly stumbles, this sad Hu Jin literati from then on, four times in a row, back to the name of Sun Shan, he was angry away from Shilin, and became a small private acquaintance in his hometown, I don't know if this Hu Wenhao is lucky, or really educated properly, the student who came out under his name, Seven out of ten have achieved success, once or twice, and they have become famous. At that time, there were countless wealthy families who wanted to hire him as their young master's Xixi, and they were unmoved, but for some reason, they actually responded to Fang Jinglan's request and deigned to be the Xixi seat of Fangfu's brothers.

The three girls were led to Hu Fuzi and bowed to Hu Fuzi, Fang Jinglan solemnly said to Hu Jin: "Mr. Lao has to pay a lot of attention, but if there is anything wrong with the little girl, although the punishment is, there is no need to scruple." ”

Ruqing looked at Hu Jin, a thin middle-aged old man, wearing a gray robe, looking like a literati, with a dark complexion, sharp eyes, and pursed lips, looking quite stern on the surface. Ruqing thought to herself, just like this, there is actually an official who marries his daughter, I don't know if the daughter of that family is also a dinosaur.

Ruqing slandered in her heart, so she looked at Hu Fuzi more, and Hu Fuzi and Fang Jinglan said polite words for a while, to the effect that I only teach three brothers, and the girls will follow behind to listen to the class, it would be good to understand it. I can't help it if I don't understand. However, after school, I will teach the girls to read and explain some reasoning alone.

When Fang Jinglan heard this, how could he disagree, and even said yes, originally girls don't have to learn too many things, just a little guidance. Then Fang Jinglan turned around and sternly lectured to the three girls, nothing more than to abide by the rules, not to make noise, to listen to the master's words and so on. Of course, the three girls were busy responding.

After seeing the master, the three girls were led into the west courtyard, Li also asked for the girls to teach Mama, this flower Mama is the nurse of Li Xiao, the son of Jingwangfu in Beijing, and then Li Xiao gradually grew up, she was no longer needed, she was originally going to send her back to her hometown, but she was unwilling to leave the capital, so she worked hard to grow up by herself, and later became a special upbringing in the palace, two county lords in the Jingwang Mansion, and a cousin girl were raised by her. Later, his fame grew, and he was actually hired by other princes and nobles in the capital. After she earned enough pension money, because her son had made some merit by King Jing's side, she was sent by King Jing to the side of his son Li Xiao, earned some fame, and married a daughter-in-law. This time, the daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat grandson, and Mama Hua was anxious to hold her grandson, so she came to Jinan, where her son was in charge. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived in Jinan, she was inquired about by the well-informed Mrs. Fang, so she hired a lot of money to invite her into the house to raise four girls.

Originally, Mama Hua was unwilling, but the old lady promised her that it would only take one hour a day, and after an hour, whether the girls learned it or not, they could leave, and specially prepared a carriage for her to get in and out. Since the old lady is so sincere, Mama Hua is not too good at taking a stand, so she accepted the invitation of the Li family and entered the Fang Mansion.

Mama Hua is dressed plainly, her clothes are a little old, but she is extremely clean, her hair is meticulously combed, her body is straight, her tone is neither humble nor arrogant, she talks and laughs, like flowing water, not pretentious, but endearing.

The four girls lined up to see Mama Hua, Mama Hua looked at the girls one by one, such as the real look is clear, the eyebrows are clear, that is, there is the reserve and style of everyone's ladies, and the flexibility and gentleness of the daughter's family. Mama Hua nodded secretly. If the good is born bright and moving, it is also the style of the whole body, Mama Hua swept her eyes lightly, frowned slightly, and disappeared soon.

Observe Rumei again, Rumei straightened her small chest, and took out the pie of the concubine, Mama Hua shook her head secretly, and observed Ruqing, Ruqing was slightly shy, and showed two pear nests to Mama Hua.

Mama Hua cleared her throat and said to the four girls: "Because my wife has received a heavy gift from the old lady, it is not good to drag out her life too idle, and the waste of the old lady's money also delays the girls from learning other skills." My wife's ugly words are ahead, if there is anything offended, please bear with me. ”

Ruqing's heart was cold, looking at Mama Hua's serious face, and said in her heart: Is it not good enough to learn and not standardize, so you have to press the board? I couldn't help but secretly look at the ring ruler held horizontally by a small girl behind Mama Hua.

Mama Hua said again: "Time is limited, and my wife won't talk nonsense, long story short." The first thing I want to teach the girls is the standing position. She beckoned, and a teenage girl came over with four thick books and said, "The so-called sitting is like a clock, standing is like a pine, and walking is like the wind." There is a sitting posture, a standing posture, and a walking posture. As a lady, this is also the simplest and most basic, but it must also be learned. ”

Then she asked the girls to stand on the doorpost, and placed the four books on the girls' heads, so that they could stand with their shoulders straight, and their bodies would stand on the pillars so that the back of their heads, shoulders, waist, hips, and heels could be in close contact with the wall. It's easy to say, but it's extremely difficult to do, especially with the book on your head.

After Mama Hua asked the girls to stand up, she put the book on their heads, and then sat aside to observe them and give them some more words.

Ruzhen is the oldest, has been following the old lady, usually the old lady on her behavior and etiquette is also a lot of effort, this station is not aware of any difficulty, the book can hold on to the two pillars of incense time, but gradually, it can not be supported, Hua Mama took the ring ruler to her calf, shouted: "The girl is the eldest sister, the oldest, should take the lead." Stand up, keep your legs straight, and don't bend. ”

If he was really beaten, his legs and stomach trembled, and he complained bitterly, but he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Rushan is young, and she can't compare to Ruzhen, she has already lowered her head and shrunk her chest, but Mama Hua didn't hit her, she just corrected her posture again, Rumei couldn't hold on, Mama Hua didn't hit her, just stared at her and stood up. Rumei persisted for a while and then couldn't hold on, shouting that she wouldn't do it, Mama Hua glared at her and said, "Three girls, the most important thing for girls is patience." The dignified girl, if she can't even endure this little bitterness, it will be in vain for the old lady's hard work. The three girls endured it again. As he spoke, he raised the ring ruler in his hand.

Rumei was usually self-willed, but she was also afraid of the ring ruler in Mama Hua's hand, so she dared to continue to stand angrily.

And Ruqing complained bitterly, the younger the child, the more difficult it is to persevere, but she doesn't want to be beaten, Ruzhen's top identity has been beaten, not to mention that she is a concubine.

It has been insisting for half an hour, and Mama Hua told Ruqing to rest, and as soon as Ruqing was liberated, she immediately took the book off her head and sat on the chair panting. Rumei was not convinced, and shouted loudly: "It's not fair, why is there only one Ruqing?" ”

Mama Hua said, "The third girl is patient for a while." The four girls are the youngest, so they should be a little less tired. ”

Rumei was not convinced, but she didn't dare to speak anymore, so she could only glare at Ruqing viciously, and Ruqing smiled at Rumei: "Third sister, you can hold on for a while, if you let your father know that the third sister can hold on for so long, you will definitely be very happy." ”

Rumei thought about it, and felt that Ruqing made sense, glared at her again, and continued to stand.

Rushan saw it in his eyes, snorted softly, and stood more and more straight.

After a while, Mama Hua asked Rumei and Rushan to stop in turn, but Ruzhen was the last to be called to stop, Ruqing knew that the older she was, the longer she could stand, this was training patience, and it was also training Ruzhen's ability to withstand pressure.

Again--- Ruqing looked at Ruzhen's delicate and bright face, and in her gestures, she was naturally magnificent, although she was only a girl of a five-grade official, but when she spoke and acted, she was noble and elegant, and over time, it is estimated that there will be the head of the Yun family.

I feel that Mama Hua is very attentive to Ruzhen, and you can imagine how important Ruzhen is in the old lady's mind.

Hua Mama taught it simply, the first day only taught to stand, an hour passed quickly, Hua Mama was leaving, before leaving, and told the girls to stand like that from now on, not to hook their shoulders and hunchback, once found, hit the board.

After Mama Hua left, the girls were so tired that no one had the strength to speak.

At this time, the girls' respective girls all brought snacks, such as the real girl Yujie served honey almond cake and a wrist of red date porridge, the good girl Bizhu served mung bean candied cake slices, and a cup of fish soup, Rumei girl Jinhong served a few pieces of crispy chive cakes, and a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, and Ruqing, Ruqing's girl Xia He waited for a long time and disappeared. Rumei laughed at her: "Fourth sister, your girl is really hateful, she didn't come to serve your master." ”

Ruzhen found out that Ruqing didn't even have a girl by her side, and immediately asked, "Sister Qing, where is your girl?" Why are you so lazy? I said you should also show some master majesty--- "But seeing that Ruqing is small, she is only more than five years old, and she is raised by his wife, where does he come from. Then he sighed secretly, thinking that he would tell his grandmother later, and let his grandmother remind her aunt to go.

Ruqing let out a long sigh and said, "My sister doesn't have the ability to control like my sisters, so I let a minion ride it to the top of my head." Let the sisters see the joke. ”

Rumei snorted lightly: "You little fool, why don't you show the majesty of being the master?" Beat the eyeless minion hard. After a pause, he said excitedly: "If you can't clean her up, just leave it to me, and let her know that it's amazing." Look at her in the future, and dare to snub you. ”

Rushan on the side sneered and interjected: "The third sister should play the master's majesty in front of the subordinates as much as possible." In this house, who doesn't know that the minions around the fourth sister are all assigned by his wife. Rushan said this is a bit mysterious, smart as true, of course I heard it, Ruqing is not smart, but she has the thinking of an adult, and she can hear it, and Rumei is a little inferior, but soon I heard the taste, and immediately put down the white begonia glazed porcelain cup in hand, raised my eyebrows and shouted: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Rushan drank the fish soup slowly, with a delicate and delicate atmosphere, and said leisurely: "It's literal!" ”

Rushan was stimulated, and when he heard the words, he got up and prepared a theory, but was pulled by Ruqing, and Ruqing said: "My sister is here first, thank you for your kindness." Girl, I want to teach a lesson, but at this time, the girl is very hungry---" said a pair of big eyes pitifully swept the snacks on the plate of Ruzhen and others.

Ruzhen understood first, and immediately handed over his plate, and scolded with a smile: "Eat, Rumei is right, you are a little fool." ”

Rushan also picked up his plate, but Rumei moved faster, but she couldn't bear the onion-scented cake, and wanted to reach out to get it back, but was quickly intercepted by Ruqing's eyes. Rumei glared, and Ruqing smirked at her, "Third sister, I'm thirsty." Rumei couldn't help but get angry, pinched her, and scolded: "You have to inch in, rub your nose and face." But he still handed her half of the eight-treasure porridge he had drunk. Ruqing was not polite, took it, and drank it all with a snort. Rumei saw another heartache, and said hatefully: "Idiot, you will have to make some amends for me later." ”

Ruqing said with a smile: "Third sister, help others to the end, and later, the third sister will come forward and help the sister teach such a slave who doesn't know how to live or die." The younger sister is small, and she is not as majestic as the third sister. ”

Rumei was praised by Ruqing like this, and she was proud in her heart, and snorted with her nostrils facing the sky: "You are useless, I have to come forward for this little thing." Hum. ”

Ruqing took her hand flatteringly and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, the third sister is the most powerful." Rumei roared through her nose as usual.

Ruqing smiled again, and found a thoughtful face on the side, and Rushan snorted disdainfully.
