035 Brothers and sisters
At the same time that Lin Jiaojiao fainted happily, in the Jingguo Mansion, Huo Ningzhi had just sent Huo Yizhi to the entrance of the courtyard.
Huo Yizhi bowed and said with a smile, "Second brother has worked hard these days, let's go back and rest quickly."
"No hurry".
Huo Ningzhi continued to walk towards the courtyard, and Huo Yizhi's heart suddenly hung up, but he didn't ask anything, and followed him in small steps.
Huo Yizhi let Huo Ningzhi into the flower hall and ordered someone to serve tea.
Huo Ningzhi didn't touch the tea, and was silent for a while before he spoke, "Do you remember the seventh girl of the Lin family?" β
When Huo Yi heard this, his hanging heart was put down, and there was just the right gentle smile on his face.
"Why don't you remember? As the second brother told me last time, Master Cen has one more female student who listens to the class, and it is the seventh girl of the Lin family."
Huo Ningzhi told her that Lin Jiaojiao wanted to persuade her to go to the academy, but it didn't work.
"In a few days, Miss Lin Qi will hold a crab banquet and invite you."
Huo Yizhi was stunned, "Invited me?" β
Huo Ningzhi lowered his head and picked up the teacup, "Yes, you are ready to prepare, and you will go to the banquet with me in a few days."
Huo Yizhi was even more surprised, "Second brother is also going?" β
Huo Ningzhi's voice was slightly deep, "What? I can't go? β
"It's notβ"
Huo Yizhi hurriedly denied it, and cautiously looked at Huo Ningzhi's face, "I'm just wondering, how could the second brother go to Miss Lin Qi's banquet?" β
Huo Ningzhi also knew that his move was very abrupt, he was afraid that Huo Yizhi would see the clues, so he turned his face stiff and said, "She is not as rumored-so, stubborn."
The expression on Huo Yizhi's face became subtle, and he said tentatively, "I, I don't want to go-"
Huo Ningzhi didn't notice her look, he was already very bad at talking about this kind of topic, and he was not used to praising a boudoir woman, so he didn't want to say more, so he stood up.
"I've already told her that we'll go together when the time comes."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, which was quite a bit of a desert escape.
Huo Yizhi got up and saluted, looked at his back for a long time, pursed his lips and smiled, the smile bloomed on her face like an epiphany, making her already beautiful and dusty complexion even more outstanding, pitiful, but fleeting.
The mother-in-law who was standing beside her respectfully smiled and said, "Girl, the old slave looks at the general like this, but-"
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by another mother-in-law, "Mama She, arguing about the master in vain, capital crime!" β
It was Huo Ningzhi's nurse who came to Mama, and was transferred to Huo Yizhi's side by Huo Ningzhi a few days ago.
Mama She's old face was hot by her training, and she reluctantly argued, "The old slave is just joking with the girl."
Mama Lai's expression became even more stern, "The girl's daughter's body, how can you joke?" β
Huo Yizhi waved his hand impatiently, "Don't make noise, I'm tired."
Coming to Mama bowed and saluted, Mama She was unwilling to glance at her, and walked to Huo Yizhi's side and held her arm, "Girl, the old slave is waiting for you to freshen up."
Huo Yizhi's body stiffened slightly, nodded, and walked out with her.

All day the next day, Lin Jiaojiao was like a happy little frog, croaking and croaking.
After getting up early in the morning and practicing for an hour, I wrote the invitation to the crab banquet, and instructed Qier to send someone out, so I went to Mrs. Jinxiang Hou for breakfast, and I had to beat her shoulders and pinch her back, and I sprinkled for a long time, and then ran to make trouble with Lin Yanping to accompany me to go shopping and buy things.
Lin Yanping was a little surprised about her good mood, but Jiaojiaoer was in a good mood, so he naturally had the obligation to make her feel better, and took her out very happily.
Lin Jiaojiao has a dowry of 300,000 taels, which is definitely a big rich person, and her mood is so good that she is not soft when she buys things.
I bought it for Mrs. Jinxiang Hou, bought it for Lin Yanping, bought it for Lin Yanzhao, bought it for Lin Zongguang, and even the brothers and sisters-in-law who were far away in Fengxue City were not left behind, and they bought it from morning to evening.
Finally, he pointed to the most famous drunken Eight Immortals restaurant in Beijing and said arrogantly, "Fifth brother, do I have enough money to buy this?" β
"Enough is enough, only this is the industry of Jingguo Mansion, the business here is good, and the money is getting in every day, and their family is not short of silver, so it is estimated that they will not sell it."
Lin Jiaojiao grabbed his arm and trembled with laughter, "Then why don't we try to smash a silver ingot into General Huo's face, and ask him if it's enough?" And then smash, ask again, smash again, ask again......"
Lin Yanping tapped her forehead, "You are getting bolder and bolder, even Huo Er, you dare to joke, let's go in?" β
Lin Jiaojiao smiled and nodded again and again, Lin Yanping walked in with her, and asked casually, "Why is Jiaojiaoer so happy today?" β
"I'm just happy! Aren't you happy? β
"Okay, okay! How not! If Jiao Jiao'er can be so happy for the rest of her life, she can let the fifth brother live for 20 years less."
Lin Jiaojiao scolded him, "If you live twenty years less, won't it become an untimely death?" I cried to death, how could I still be so happy every day? β
Lin Yanping's heart was hot when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to hold his sister in his arms and rub it hard like he did when he was a child, and he moved and moved, and he moved and moved, and it took him a long time to hold back.
"Fifth brother, can you invite me to be a nurturing grandmother? Well, I need a female master who teaches dance."
Lin Yanping's footsteps paused slightly, and he raised his eyebrows and snorted.
Lin Jiaojiao pouted, "I don't want to be scolded for having no rules and not knowing etiquette."
Lin Yanping's heart was troubled, knowing that she was still minding Ling Yuheng's mother and sister's words, she responded warmly, and asked again, "Why does Jiaojiao'er want to learn to dance?" β
The most basic thing for everyone to be beautiful is to behave and look dignified, and the ladies learn a lot of musical instruments, but few learn to dance, for fear of being criticized.
"If you want to learn, you can learn, what's the reason?"
In her previous life, the first thing her teacher taught her was, "If you want to deceive peopleβuh, do it all over againβ"
The teacher smiled slightly, the elegance that had precipitated the years and wisdom almost stunned her eyes, "Arrogance, no one is obliged to spend time and effort to study your inner beauty, if you want to win the favor and trust of others, the first thing is to cultivate external beauty and temperament."
Confucius sage has a saying, the quality of literature is better than history, quality is better than literature, the quality is courteous, and then a gentleman.
That is to say, if the temperament is better than the appearance, it will be pretentious, and the appearance will be better than the temperament, and only when the appearance and temperament are both at the peak, can they be polite and polite, so that people will have a good impression when they see you, and they can't bear to reject you."
She actually wanted to remind the teacher that Sage Kong's words were not what he meant at all, but in the teacher's smile, she couldn't say anything.
She thought that maybe this is what the teacher called "making people feel good at first sight and can't bear to refuse", right?
"Arrogant, there are only two criteria for our metaphysical school to select successors, one is to be beautiful, and the other is to be smart, you are selected from hundreds of thousands of students in our school over the years.
Regardless of being smart, at least the appearance is passable, and now, what you have to do is to cultivate the acquired temperament."
Just because of this simple "cultivation of acquired temperament", she has been worshipping the teacher since she was nineteen years old, and she does not dare to slack off day and night, even when she sleeps, she keeps her awake at all times, and she has to take a video recorder to record, and she does not dare to let her demeanor and behavior make any mistakes at any time.
The things to learn are even more varied and all-encompassing, such as reading, practicing calligraphy, learning musical instruments, learning etiquette, learning smiles, practicing manners, practicing yoga and dance, and even learning martial arts for a while.
After twelve years of study, the teacher relented and said that she could be a full teacher.
That year, she just finished her postdoc and stayed at her alma mater to teach, serving as a teacher's assistant.
The teacher said that the descendants of our metaphysical school must be low-key, and they can't say anything about our metaphysical school to the outside world.
To say that we are professors of Chinese culture and etiquette at Huaxia University, and we are teachers, look, isn't this very low-key?
Although she has always suspected that what the teacher said about metaphysics is simply that he used a name to fool her, but to live a lifetime, there are some things she doesn't want to throw away at all, and she is even more reluctant to -
She needed a reason to "learn" what the teacher had already taught her!
It's been half a year since she's been here in this ancient world, and it's time.
Lin Jiaojiao pulled Lin Yanping's sleeve and shook it, "Fifth brother, I want someone who can dance, and it's beautiful!" Not pretty, I don't want it! β
Lin Yanping was shaken by her, and suddenly there was no principle, "It's good, it's just that you may not be able to find it for a while,"
The brother and sister happily ate in the drunken eight immortals, and when they saw that it was not early, they didn't mention it when they went home.
