Of course, I can stand scolding me a few words, but I can't stand him beating me, and the ring he carries is three feet long, and he always beckons to me, saying that I am lazy and can't stand the mud. I don't know, but I'm going to take the imperial examination? Feng Ziling invited him over, just to let me know a few more words, that day in the palace, I misread the word "Poria", I really lost face in front of him, but if I lose face, I will lose face, the ancients didn't say "A woman is virtuous if she is not talented?" I just whispered to myself, but I didn't want it to fall into the Master's ears.

The master hit me with a ruler, and it hurt me to wear thick clothes, and he was so angry that he twitched: "You are embarrassed to say that the ancients said that 'a woman is virtuous if she is not talented', and you don't study, do you know what 'no talent' is?" The "nothing" in it means "there is but not shown", this sentence is to say, a woman must be talented, and not revealed, to be virtuous! ”

I covered my aching arm and nodded, his anger didn't seem to have subsided, and he blew his beard and pointed to the pile of books on the square table in the pavilion: "I've memorized all these books, I'll check them at noon." ”

I nodded, "Yes." "The thick and tall stack of books on the table, I felt a headache when I saw it, and I had to memorize it, so it was not easy to talk about it. And I don't know why, as long as I hold the book in my hand, my eyelids will fight, I have no energy, I was drowsy for a long time, and I was woken up by the wind blowing from all sides in the pavilion, I rubbed my hands and breathed, but suddenly felt that if I burned a few books on the table to keep warm, not only did I reduce the burden of my own endorsement, but besides, so many books, a few books were missing, and the master would not find out.

I lit the two volumes, rubbed my hands together and baked them on the fire, and the smell of ink on the scrolls reached the tip of my nose, and I felt some sin in my heart, such a sacred thing, but I used it for such a worldly thing. I was sighing, when I suddenly felt a pain in my back, and when I looked back, I saw that the old master took the ring ruler and beckoned me again, and said while beating me: "I told you to study, but what are you doing here?" The work of the ancient sages, you actually used it to keep warm, you really deserve to fight! ”

I said as I blocked it with my hand: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't dare next time." ”

The hand was beaten very painfully, even if I was wrong first, he didn't have to be so ruthless, I was chased by him around the pavilion a few laps, and finally he was tired and panting, he pointed at me with a ring ruler, panting and couldn't speak, I saw him so angry, I wanted to find a place to avoid it first, and when he was dissipated, he just turned around and ran outside the pavilion, and his feet slipped and fell heavily on the ground.

I was so pained that tears welled up in my eyes, and I was vigorously helped up by a hand, and a voice fell above my head: "I asked a master to teach you to read, what are you doing?" ”

"I ......" Before I could speak, the old man sighed and said: "General, you find the old man to teach this little girl to read and write, it is a promotion to the old man, but the old man has failed the general's trust, this little girl is too stubborn, the ancient sage book, actually used as firewood, the old man really can't discipline it, and please ask the general to ask another master." ”

He didn't say that he beat me all over the body, but now he came to this trick to retreat, Feng Ziling didn't look at me, and said: "She is indeed too stubborn, old gentleman, please go back first, and I will discipline her for two days." ”

"That's not the case...... Why didn't he say that he was too harsh, and I was beaten by him and was injured all over my body......"

"Dare to say it!" He frowned, "Go back to your room." ”

I covered my arms and held back tears, all the way back to the room, Cai'er was cleaning up the bed, I saw her neatly spread the crescent-colored mattress for me, looked at me in her eyes, and said, "Girl, why did you come back so early?" Did Master give you an article today? ”

I sat down at the head of the bed and raised my hand to wipe my tears, and my arm was in pain. Seeing me like this, Cai'er took out a handkerchief to wipe away my tears for me: "What's wrong with the girl?" Isn't it, the old master beat you again? Where to play, let Cai'er see. ”

I felt very aggrieved for a while, so I just lay on the bed and covered my head with a quilt, sobbing: "You go out first, I'm sleepy and want to sleep." ”

"Girl......"

"You get out."

I was angry and hateful, and I swore that one day I would have to kill Feng Ziling to get out of this evil breath. Xu was physically and mentally exhausted, I was covered in the quilt and gambled, and I fell asleep in anger.

I don't know how long I slept this night, I felt that my arm was cold and cold in a daze, and when I opened my eyes, Feng Ziling was medicating the red and swollen parts of my hands, I was already awake, but I still closed my eyes, he rolled up my sleeve and said, "I didn't know before, that old gentleman was so heavy." Today Cai'er told me that he often beats you, doesn't he? ”

Did he ask me this because he knew that I was awake, and I didn't want to talk to him or see him, and I wouldn't listen to half an explanation today, but now he was kind enough to care about me?

"Angry with me?" He pulled my other arm out of the quilt after helping me with the medicine on one arm, "That old gentleman really shouldn't have beaten you, I thought it was just ordinary discipline, but this, why didn't you tell me?" ”

I tilted my face: "Is it useful to tell you, didn't I tell you today?" ”

His action of applying the medicine was very gentle: "Today you did something wrong, did something wrong, but you are still reasonable?" Are those books supposed to be used for heating? It's cold in the pavilion, if it's cold for you, you can ask Cai'er to help you bring a charcoal stove over, you burn the sage book, but you still feel wronged? ”

"I ......" I was dumb for a while, and I didn't even know how to refute it, after all, I did something wrong.

He gave me good medicine and said, "Get up and eat something." Since you don't want the old gentleman to teach you, I'll be busy for a few days, but I have time to teach you in person. ”

He handed me a bowl of warm porridge, I didn't have lunch today, just where is there enough for such a bowl of porridge, I looked at the table while eating, he smiled and said: "Don't look at it, the pastry is ordered to be made in the kitchen, and when you finish eating the porridge, I will ask someone to send it over." ”

I was a little embarrassed to be seen through his mind. Then I heard him ask, "What has the old gentleman taught me these days?" ”

"It's just some poetry and songs."

"Oh? Tell me, what have you learned? ”

As I scooped up the porridge, I raised my eyes to look at him: "Master has taught me to read poetry." ”

"What poems have you learned, read them to me."

I just waited for him to ask, that old master usually beats me to the point of injury, listening to the meaning of Feng Ziling's words just now, it seems that the old master wants to teach me a few more days, I also have to find a way to save myself, I said: "Master has taught 'cloud sideburns and flowers and golden steps to shake, hibiscus tent to warm the Spring Festival', Ziling, what does 'spend the Spring Festival' mean?" ”

His face was blue and white for a while, and I wanted to laugh when I saw it, and said: "What does the sentence 'mandarin ducks are made into two nights, and a pear flower presses begonias'?" ”

His face was so dark that he couldn't look at it: "Usually Mr. teaches you these things?" ”

I nodded and handed him the empty bowl: "Teaching is teaching, but I don't understand what it means, I think that when the Master comes to teach me tomorrow, I will have to ask the Master for advice in person." ”

Just as the little maid came to deliver the pastries, Cai'er also came in with hot water, he got up and walked out: "You don't have to go to school tomorrow, this matter will be slowed down, and I will teach you in person when I am free." ”

He walked far away before I lay on the bed and laughed, and Cai'er came over with pastries: "But the general has a way to coax the girl so happy." ”

I grabbed her: "Good news for you, I don't have to go to school from tomorrow." Didn't you say a few days ago that the scenery on the hillside in the backyard is very good, and we will go to play when I wake up. ”

Cai'er nodded and said okay, I was in a good mood, I slept well at night, I got up early the next day, simply ate some cakes, and prepared to bring the two little butterflies of Xiangxiang and Huahua, I asked Cai'er to go back to the yard to get a basket, I don't know if there are mushrooms in the mountains, if there are really mushrooms, you can also pick up a basket, I was packing up and walking out of the door, and I heard a maid in the front yard say: "This princess is here again, it's really difficult to serve......"

"Isn't it? Our general's attitude is so obvious, and now that even the little lady has been brought in, the princess is still not giving up. ”

The princess is coming? Is that Princess Hazen?

Whether she came or not had nothing to do with me, she just wanted to find Feng Ziling. I remembered that Feng Ziling was not in the house, and sighed to myself, this time she came to this trip in vain, but I didn't expect that she came today to find bad luck for me.

I walked all the way to the backyard and bumped into her by the bridge leading to the backyard hill. She seemed to be standing on the bridge looking at the scenery, which was close to the back mountain and had a good view, and I was a little embarrassed to meet her like this, I thought that since she only had the scenery in her eyes, she must not have seen me, so I hid my face and walked over, but there were few fewer pleasantries.

I was about to turn sideways, and the maid beside Princess Yushan said sharply: "Bold, you still don't salute when you see our princess?" ”

This princess is really big, I leaned down and said, "Hello princess." He was about to move forward, but there was a voice from behind him, "Stop!" ”

Huahua and Xiangxiang flew beside me: "Yezi, I think this princess just has bad intentions, and she is simply taking advantage of Feng Ziling's absence to find trouble with you." ”

I agreed with this, and didn't want to really stand still because of Princess Yuzen's "stop", so I raised my feet and continued to walk forward, and another maid rushed up to stop me: "The princess told you to stop, didn't you hear?" ”

"I heard it, and I also know the princess's intention, but the princess has affection for Feng Ziling, so she went to him, what use can she use looking for me."
