Chapter 15: Each Person's Strengths
Jiang Mingxue, who is eleven years old, has not completely gotten rid of her childishness, she has two buns tied with red ribbons on her head, and she has a trace of baby fat on her cheeks, and her cute appearance is delightful.
But the long-term situation of Xiao Transparent made her forced to mature quickly, and at this moment, she looked at Mingyue timidly: "I don't know which courses to take, I don't know which ones the eldest sister chosen?" β
When Jiang Mingzhu heard this, her face revealed a little disappreciative, could she choose anything other than calligraphy and painting?
Mingyue smiled lightly: "I chose two courses: history and medical economics. β
Jiang Mingzhu and Jiang Mingxue were stunned at the same time, and they both wondered if their ears had heard it wrong.
Jiang Mingxue tilted her little head and asked puzzledly, "Why did the eldest sister choose these two courses?" I thought my eldest sister would choose poetry and paintingsβ"
Even if you don't choose poetry and painting, it is not unusual for a noble girl of a family to study history and pharmacology......
Mingyue's smiling gaze slid over the faces of the two, and finally landed on the teacup in front of her, and a light voice came out immediately:
"Studying history is for the sake of wisdom, a girl like us from a family, will know some poetry, books, etiquette and music, although elegant, can be a long-term plan, life can not only be elegant, my mother is the daughter of Langya Wang, her writing must be good, but have you ever seen her martial arts?"
In fact, what Mingyue wants to learn more is the strategies of various families, but as a boudoir woman, making such a request is really eye-catching, which inevitably arouses suspicion, so Mingyue has to retreat to the second best thing and change to historiography.
It's better to learn that "Guiguzi" again in private.
Jiang Mingzhu listened to Mingyue's words and couldn't help but cast a suspicious look at her.
Mingyue noticed something, turned to her and said, "Third sister, do you have any questions?" β
Jiang Mingzhu pursed her lips and said with a straight face: "What the eldest sister said sounds like some truth, but we are still boudoir women, and in the future, when we go out of the house to participate in banquets and interact with people, there must be a time to show our skills. β
Jiang Mingzhu's words were a little stiff, causing Jiang Mingxue to peek at Mingyue several times uneasily.
Mingyue was not angry, only said with a smile: "I should understand the meaning of the third sister, as the daughter of a family, talent is indispensable, in the past, I have a strategy for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially the poems and paintings I made, I must be able to barely handle it, not to shame the family, this is enough, there is no need to be proficient in everything." β
Jiang Mingzhu just wants to be proficient in everything, but because he has learned too much and too miscellaneous, he has not mastered any skills so far.
After listening to Mingyue's words again, I couldn't help but think about it more, and my face stiffened for a while.
Mingyue smiled and explained to Jiang Mingzhu: "Third sister, don't think too much, I don't mean to mock, it's just that if the third sister can focus on one thing, the achievement will not be less than mine." As far as I know, the third sister is one of the pianos, and her talent is not low, why don't the third sisters try to concentrate on the piano? β
Jiang Mingzhu saw that Mingyue looked serious, without a trace of joke on her face, so she eased her face, and then couldn't help but think.
She still has reservations about studying history, but the eldest sister has a sentence that is very reasonable.
You don't need to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you just need to choose one and specialize.
Even if you show your talent at a banquet, you only get one chance, and there is no reason why multiple talents are staged in turn. Perhaps, she can actually put aside chess, poetry, and painting?
Jiang Mingzhu was still muttering on the side, and Jiang Mingxue couldn't wait to ask, "Eldest sister, what about me?" I don't know what I'm good at, I can't learn anything on a regular basisβ"
As she spoke, her face flushed and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Mingyue chuckled lightly and reminded her: "The talent that can be displayed is not just piano, chess, calligraphy and painting-"
Jiang Mingxue raised her head and looked at her puzzled, her eyes confused.
Mingyue glanced at Mo Ran, and Mo Ran immediately took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to his own girl.
The material of this square handkerchief is just ordinary plain silk, and the kitten butterfly embroidery on it is eye-catching. Simple pattern, but it is not difficult to see the fine workmanship, even the eyes of the kitten are depicted vividly, the little butterfly seems to be about to flutter its wings away.
When Jiang Mingxue saw this, her face turned red again, and she said, "Eldest sister, this-this is the handkerchief I gave you the day before yesterday, I don't know if you like it......"
She had no long things, and a few days ago she embroidered two square handkerchiefs, and she felt interesting, so she sent them to the eldest sister and the third sister respectively, but she immediately regretted it. The two sisters have a lot more good things than her, where can they see these two simple handkerchiefs, but the things have been given away, and it is useless to regret them. She was annoyed for a long time about this.
At this time, when I saw the eldest sister take out this square handkerchief, she was even more ashamed and ashamed, and she almost didn't dare to look up.
Mingyue smiled and exclaimed: "I love this square veil very much, not only the pattern is special, but also the skill of this embroidery, it can be seen that the fifth sister must have worked weekdays." β
Jiang Mingzhu's eyes glanced at the handkerchief in Mingyue's hand, and when she saw the familiar materials and patterns, her heart moved. She also received a similar handkerchief, and when the maid presented it to her, she did not even take it and look at it carefully, but only glanced at it slightly, and then let the maid put it away, and now she did not know where to put it.
Look at the side in the eldest sister's hand, it is really unique and embroidery.
The eldest sister carefully kept this veil, but she was indifferent to it, thinking of this, Jiang Mingzhu was slightly uncomfortable.
Jiang Mingxue was unaware of her abnormality, and after listening to Mingyue's words, a smile of surprise and surprise appeared on her face, and she looked up and said, "Eldest sister really likes it?" β
Mingyue noticed Jiang Mingzhu's expression, and had a guess in her heart, but now she just didn't know, she smiled and nodded at Jiang Mingxue:
"The fifth sister is young, and her embroidery skills have been perfected, which can be seen that she is very talented along the way, and this is what I want to tell you, your talent."
Jiang Mingxue was puzzled: "Is embroidery also a talent?" β
"Naturally. Moreover, embroidery is a talent that can be displayed at any time and place, you only need to hold your own embroidered handkerchief, or wear your own embroidered purse, or even wear your own embroidered dress, and wherever you go, you are showing your talent to everyone. β
Jiang Mingxue was a little excited, and then she thought of something again, and looked at Mingyue with a hint of shame: "However, my embroidery is not good enough......"
Mingyue handed the handkerchief to Mo Ran to put away, and then asked lightly towards Jiang Mingyue: "If my guess is right, the fifth sister's embroidery should have been learned from Aunt Xiang, right?" β
There is no embroidery course in the boudoir school.
Jiang Mingxue nodded: "Since I know how to take a needle, my aunt will start teaching me." β
I see, it's strange that she is still young, but her embroidery skills are already good.
It is said that Aunt Xiang used to be a maid who specialized in needlework around her mother, and her embroidery skills must be understandable, but I don't know how to compare with the embroidery girls who specialize in this way outside?
