Chapter 19: Boudoir Studies

The many joys and sorrows of Mingzhu and Mingxue, Mingyue is completely unknown.

As far as she is concerned, she has said what she should have said, and given an eldest sister the care and advice she deserves, and that is all there is to her, and whether her sisters listen or not is no longer within her control.

The next day, after the greeting was over, the eldest lady of the Jiang family, Wang, took Mingyue to the main courtyard.

Mingyue knew that this was about to talk about boudoir learning.

Sure enough, after Mrs. Jiang sat down, she spoke: "The three-year filial piety period in the family has passed, and it is time to re-establish the boudoir school." Tell me, what courses do you want to take? ”

Without waiting for Mingyue to answer, Mrs. Jiang said again: "If you still choose calligraphy and painting, the course will be the same as before." ”

Mingyue thought in a trance that the last time she heard her mother's words, she was full of resentment, blaming her mother for being too strong and indifferent, ostensibly by their own choice, but indirectly intervening with various reasons.

At that time, she had to accept it silently because she couldn't resist.

Now that the story is repeating itself, the same scene, facing the same dignified face and unquestionable tone, she has a completely different feeling.

Mingyue stood beside Mrs. Jiang, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her tone was intimate: "Mother, my daughter's calligraphy and painting have been successful, and she practices on weekdays, and she doesn't want to continue to learn these things in her boudoir." Besides, the two masters probably have nothing to teach their daughters. ”

When Mrs. Jiang saw her daughter's smiling face, her heart softened, and her majesty was almost unbearable. But the daughter is obviously different, how can people who have been obsessed with calligraphy and painting for many years give up easily?

She remained silent on her face, and still asked lightly: "According to your wishes, which courses will you choose next?" ”

Mingyue smiled: "Historiography and medical scriptures are fine." ”

Mrs. Jiang was surprised: "Why did you choose these two courses?" ”

Mingyue was only surprised when she saw her mother, but she was not displeased, and her smile deepened a little.

She chose these two courses, naturally after careful consideration.

Nowadays, although the famous ladies and nobles mainly study piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, there are also many families who will make the ladies in the clan read through the history books.

His mother's mother's mother's family, Langya Wang, is a model of this.

Mingyue lowered her head slightly, hid half of her expression, and said softly: "My daughter had a conversation with my eldest cousin in the past, although my eldest cousin is a daughter, she has a good chest and outstanding intelligence, and my daughter looks at it and admires it very much. I heard that among the maternal ancestors, all the cousins have read through the history books—"

Mrs. Jiang slowly bowed her head, Yan Qing's girl is indeed outstanding in appearance, few people can match her, and she is a rare good child. It's a pity -

Mrs. Jiang sighed softly in her heart, and looked at Mingyue's gaze softened a little: "Daughter's family, it's okay to read more history books, just learn if you want to, I will write a trust to your grandmother to send a master to the capital." ”

It is not easy to find a female master who teaches history, only a big family like the Langya Wang family, which has been inherited for many years, and has personally cultivated many rare talents in the clan, so there is no shortage of these.

Mingyue's eyebrows and eyes bloomed: "Thank you, mother!" ”

Mrs. Jiang's tone changed: "However, why do you still want to study the medical scriptures?" ”

Mingyue took out the set of words that she said to Mingzhu again: "The day before yesterday, I was going to be sick, and I was worried for a long time before I got better, and my daughter thought that if she knew some pharmacology, maybe she wouldn't have committed so many taboos, and if she was good, she would be able to do it faster, and she would be spared so many sins." Besides, if you can learn some medicinal diets to regulate your body, it would be great. ”

These can be handed over to the next person, and there is really no need to learn these in person.

Mingyue knew that these reasons were not enough to convince her mother, and she had even thought of the next paragraph, but unexpectedly, her mother responded to her directly.

"The master who teaches the medical scriptures doesn't even have your grandfather's family, I'm afraid it will take a while to find it."

Mingyue suppressed the surprise in her heart, and said with a smile on her face: "Mother Lao is bothered, and her daughter is not in a hurry." ”

Mrs. Jiang looked at Mingyue with a slight smile, the reason why she responded to her daughter so easily was because she also had her thoughts.

The bright moon is about to be completed, and when he comes out of the cabinet in the future, he will face a lot of private affairs in the inner house, and the Jiang Mansion is quite clean, but there are a lot of ghosts and ghosts in the other people's mansions. Studying some medical scriptures will also give you a lot of self-preservation.

As if thinking of something, Mrs. Jiang's eyes darkened.

……

A few days passed, and in the early morning of this day, there was harmony in the old lady's Rongshou Hall.

After everyone said goodbye, Mrs. Jiang and the old lady talked about the resetting of the boudoir school.

The old lady nodded with a smile and looked at the three girls below: "Have you thought about which courses to choose?" ”

Mingyue took a step forward and took the lead in replying: "Back to my grandmother's words, my granddaughter wants to choose history and medicine." ”

"Oh?" The old lady glanced at Mrs. Jiang, and only thought that her daughter-in-law made her granddaughter choose these, after all, her daughter-in-law was born in the Langya Wang family, and she had also read history books when she was in the boudoir.

Not only that, the old man took a fancy to the daughter of the Wang family in Langya back then, because the daughter of the Wang family was different from the ordinary boudoir women......

Now is not the time to think about this, the old lady smiled lovingly at Mingyue: "I have studied poetry and painting for a long time, and it is time to look at others." ”

Mingyue smiled and bowed: "Grandmother said yes." ”

Seeing that her granddaughter was not reluctant, the old lady was relieved, and then looked at the other two granddaughters.

Facing the third girl, Mingzhu, and the fifth girl, Mingxue, although the old lady still had a smile in the corner of her eyes, she was less close.

"What about you? Have you thought about it? ”

The third girl, Mingzhu, should have talked back to the old lady first, but she didn't know what she was thinking, so she didn't say anything, Mingxue secretly looked at her several times, and when she was hesitating whether she should cross the third sister at this time, Mingzhu moved.

She walked to the position behind Mingyue, lowered her eyes, and said softly: "Back to the old lady's words, the granddaughter is still the same as before. ”

After speaking, she lowered her head, but the corner of her eyes couldn't help but glance at Mingyue in front of her, and from her position, she could only see Mingyue's back and a small half of her face.

Mingyue's background didn't move, and the little half of his face didn't seem to change at all, Mingzhu bit his inner lip and returned his gaze to the ground in front of him.

After listening to Mingzhu's answer, the old lady's smile remained unchanged, nodded lightly, and looked at Mingxue at the back.

Ming Xue also took a step forward, walked to Mingzhu's side, and replied a little nervously: "Back to the old lady, my granddaughter wants to choose embroidery-"

Mingyue's figure did not move, but a smile appeared on her face.

The old lady was a little puzzled, okay, why did you choose embroidery?

Thinking so, she asked.

Mrs. Jiang didn't expect the concubine to say this, so she looked at her quietly.

Ming Xue felt the eyes of the two of them as if they were substances, and became more and more nervous, and her voice trembled: "Granddaughter, granddaughter is dull, she can't learn the four arts well, and she is only interested in embroidery......"

Mingyue walked to Mingxue's side, gently squeezed her hand, and said to the old lady with a smile: "Grandmother, the fifth sister is ashamed, let the granddaughter say it for her, when it comes to this matter, it has something to do with the granddaughter." ”
