Chapter 026: Literacy
Shuqing finally got the order and was about to go to the house. Shuyu on the side saw that Xiaolan passed down the young lady's words again, and was a little angry, and was about to say something, Shuqing hurriedly stopped her, and her eyes ordered her not to mess around, so Shuyu shut up.
Although Xiaolan has a straight temperament, she is not stupid, she can understand such an obvious edge, but she doesn't want to cause trouble for Xu Yuan, so she ignored it and went back to the room to rest.
As soon as Shuqing entered the house, she saw that Xu Yuan's originally closed eyes suddenly opened the moment she entered the house, and she was startled, thinking that the movement of her coming in was too loud, and it disturbed the rest of the fourth lady.
Just when Shuqing was about to kneel, Xu Yuan rubbed his eyes and said in surprise: "Don't kneel, don't kneel, don't kneel!" What for. She thought about it for a while, and guessed that maybe this maid might have seen her open her eyes just now, thinking that she had woken her up, and said helplessly: "I am the one who woke up." ”
Shuqing breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
Shuqing boasts that he is also a servant of people, and he has followed the old lady for some years, and he can be regarded as a little eye-catching. But since the day she came, I haven't figured out the character of this little lady.
In addition to opening the door to welcome guests when other people in the mansion visit every day, the number of people she sees is also very limited, and there are only the old lady, the second young master, the girl from the Qingmei Courtyard and the doctor who came to check the pulse.
At other times, she didn't do anything behind closed doors, just chatted with the maid named Xiaolan who was close to her, ate something and drank medicine, slept in a daze, and didn't even give a single glance to others.
When the old lady separated her from Shuyu, she had already made it very clear that they would be the little lady's maids in the future, and when the little lady got married, they would also be the marrying girls.
Everything in the future will be tied to this little master, but I can be said to know nothing about this little master, this feeling is really uncomfortable.
Shuyu retracted her thoughts and said tentatively: "Miss is sleepy? ”
Xu Yuan shook his head, pointed to a mahogany cabinet on the south side of the room and said, "Help me bring the book on the right side of that cabinet, the thin one on the third floor." ”
It was easy to get the order, Shuyu hurriedly went to bring it to Xu Yuan, and when she saw three words written on the cover of this little thin book, she couldn't help but stiffen.
Xu Yuan took out a charcoal pen from the bedside table, held a copy of "Thousand Character Text", and drew in a charcoal circle while seriously recognizing the words.
The memory of the original body she inherited was not complete, faint, no matter how she recalled, it seemed to be separated by a veil. Xu Yuan also wanted to ask the little maids around her to learn about the situation of the world like other crossing girls, but Xiaolan grew up in the mansion since he was a child, and his understanding of this dynasty stopped at knowing that it is now the Great Liao Dynasty, and the new emperor is wise and martial.
Ask others, Xu Yuan didn't dare, for fear of revealing her feet; Read the book yourself, I can't recognize a few words in the book, and I can't understand the meaning at all.
So, in order to be able to read books and understand the situation in the place, Xu Yuan honestly started her great cause of literacy, she thought that she was not illiterate after all, and it should not be difficult to know the words of this dynasty. But when it really started, she realized that it was a very difficult thing.
The characters of the Great Liao Dynasty are similar to the traditional Chinese characters of Huaxia, but the structure of the intershelf is more complex than that of traditional characters. Xu Yuan was so hard at learning that she couldn't understand why it was so difficult to set up a tool to carry language!
However, no matter how much she collapses, she has to learn, Xu Yuan can't accept that she is illiterate. It happened that it was snowing all day in this winter, and the weather was so cold that she couldn't stand the cold, so she nested in her room to eat, drink, and read and write.
Xu Yuan now has no way to write normal words with a brush, so she asked her subordinates to buy some charcoal and come back, and the poor can't write without it these days. The charcoal has a bit of a pencil feel, and it is said that a particularly powerful lady came up with it a few decades ago.
No matter how you listen to this lady's story, she is a time-traveling old-timer, Xu Yuan thought to herself, if she had worn it for decades, she would definitely know this fellow countryman.
The enlightenment books of the Great Liao Dynasty are similar to those of Huaxia, with "Three Character Classic", "Sound Law Enlightenment", "Kindergarten Qionglin" and so on, Xu Yuan, a person who has received higher education in modern times, does not feel too low to pick up these books at this moment, but is quite interesting to read.
Her major in college is not liberal arts, which leads to her being unable to use science and technology to make a fortune in this parallel world, nor does she have the ability to memorize the poetry and writing of her predecessors.
Leaning on the cushion at the head of the bed, holding a "Thousand Character Text" and learning for more than a quarter of an hour, Xu Yuan realized that there was a maid standing next to him, and said: "You sit down, it's tiring to stand, there is a small stool on the side." ”
Hearing the master call himself, Shuqing hurriedly said: "The slave and maid are not tired, just stand and serve." ”
Xu Yuan asked rhetorically: "Then when you usually wait for the old lady, you can't sit at all?" ”
Shuqing was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Xu Yuan to ask such a question, and thought for a while: "Most of them can't rest." But if the old lady doesn't need to wait, but just needs someone to be on duty, she can sit down. ”
Xu Yuan pushed the boat down the river and said, "Then what else do you want to say?" I don't need to serve now, could it be that I am more majestic than the old lady? ”
I can't answer that! Shuqing secretly said in his heart: It's not! Now the old lady has offered you to heaven, but she is more majestic than the old lady.
The young lady said everything about this, Shuqing no longer shirked, and silently moved a small stool to sit on one side.
Xu Yuan muttered: "That's good, I feel tired and panicked when I see you standing." ”
As soon as Shuqing sat down, he suddenly heard what the young lady seemed to say, and suddenly stood up and said, "What does the young lady command?" ”
Xu Yuan said helplessly: "No, no, you sit well, I will call you when I want you to do something." ”
This girl was also nervous, Xu Yuan was made to cry and laugh, and she could be regarded as seeing through, the more she talked to her, the more nervous she became, so she didn't embarrass her, and continued to read the "Thousand Character Text" in her hand.
While reading a book, Xu Yuan ate the snacks on the bedside table, nestled on the bed, and watched for more than two hours, until a mother-in-law came outside to spread the word, and then raised her head from her own small world.
Shuqing went to open the door, and after listening to the mother-in-law's words, he happily turned to Xu Yuan and said, "Miss, the eldest young master is back, tonight, the old lady is going to have a family banquet, call you to go with me." ”
When Xu Yuan heard this, he closed the "Thousand Character Text" in his hand, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll get up and freshen up." ”
