Chapter 137
The attacker thought about it carefully, Danyu was in charge of the tea room, and the study room was because she was literate, and she was mostly tidied up later, and she also led the little maids over to carry the meal, and she was also familiar with the upper room and the second grandmother of Lian. It's really not easy to find someone who can be a few sides to replace her.
However, the pox is still very early, and she can also plan slowly, and she can always find a proper way. It's Danyu who is usually silent, but he can intervene anywhere. Other places are not important, but the study is really closer to Baoyu, although Danyu has been quiet all these years, and he is usually not happy to turn around Baoyu, but the attacker is still unwilling to let a maid who is not his own person be responsible, if it weren't for the fact that she had a lot of things to do after Mama Li left, and Baoyu felt that it was convenient to be literate, she would not have given up her position at the beginning. She thought about a few little maids, Si'er asked herself to change her name to Toucheng as soon as she came, she was very clever, and Baoyu had a good impression of her last time, so it didn't hurt to promote it.
The attacker made up his mind, and after the mighty cowpox began more than ten days later, everyone in Jia's mansion planted it as soon as possible, and Jia Baoyu was followed by various maids.
Jiafu is still very humane in this regard, although it is only a small vaccine, it does not affect daily activities, and they are still given a holiday, and they only need to stay in their own house for the most serious days.
During Baoyu's pox, Jiang Yan took Si'er, who took over her errand in the next few days, to familiarize herself with the work content.
After she introduced the placement of various books in the study, Si'er said with some apprehension: "There are so many books here, what if I remember wrong?" I don't know how to read. ”
Jiang Yan said indifferently: "The time is so short, you just have a number of these, anyway, there is a raider sister here, you don't know you can ask her." Besides, Jia Baoyu will not punish people for this.
Seeing that Si'er was still a little uneasy, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, you will always remember it if you remember it a few more times, don't you know it when you see the attacking sister?" Just put your mind to it. She also admires this, she doesn't know a single big word, but she can memorize hundreds of books. With this hard work, it's no wonder that she can be the chief maid.
Si'er looked at Jiang Yan hesitantly, "I want to learn to read and write, so that I can trouble my sisters less." ”
"That's fine, it's always good to be more literate."
Jiang Yan is very happy that Si'er can have this heart, influenced by Jia's mother's idea that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, few of the hundreds of women in Jiafu are interested in studying, and even in Sanchun, there is a bit of literary brilliance in Tanchun. I didn't even guess the lantern riddle Yingchun in the last Yuanchun, which shows its level.
Seeing that Jiang Yan didn't object, Si'er had a slight smile on her face, and she begged Jiang Yan: "Then can you ask Sister Danyu to teach me?" Just a few commonly used ones, after all, you are the only one in our house who can read. ”
Jiang Yan smiled: "What is this?" If you don't know, just ask me. ”
After returning to the house in the evening, Qingwen sat in front of the mirror and untied her hair while asking Jiang Yan, "How about you take that Si'er today?" The good child who followed me was a lump of elm, I couldn't remember it a few times, and I was so anxious that I almost scolded her, and I didn't usually find her so stupid. ”
Jiang Yan was afraid that she would be unhappy to toss Liang'er again, so she said: "The first time I did it, it was always all kinds of clumsiness, and Si'er didn't remember the placement of a few books all afternoon. However, the person is quite self-motivated, and he told me to learn to read and write, so as not to cause us trouble. You have to be more patient, I think they are quite sensible. ”
Qingwen snorted coldly, "Sensible? She is sensible, and she hates to let you rest forever. ”
She put down the comb with a "snap", stopped combing her hair, turned around and put her fingers on Jiang Yan's forehead, "Do you really not understand or pretend not to understand?" She learns what words well! It's not just about your errands! Don't forget that her previous name was still given by the attacker, and it was very easy to change errands. ”
Jiang Yan didn't care and said: "It's just to recognize a word, you just think about it so much, besides, even if she gets an errand in the study, it's nothing, I save trouble, anyway, I was sent by the old lady, and she can't rob me of the position of the eldest girl." ”
Qingwen was angry by her words, "Is this a matter of saving trouble!" It's about whether you understand your face or not! You have to think that things are more to the attacker, and it's okay for her to find someone to take over, but it's not okay for her to ask someone else to replace you! ”
Jiang Yan saw that she was so excited, and hurriedly said: "I know I know, but I can't help it if she wants to learn." She didn't dare to tell Qingwen now that she had promised to teach Si'er, and it was estimated that she would die of dislike and IQ.
But she really doesn't care if she is here, she doesn't care about these so-called faces, and her goal is not to become the chief maid in Qianyun Xuan, so she can't get everyone else down in order to ensure her status, besides, even if Si'er has other thoughts, she thinks that it is above board to be motivated and literate, and Jiang Yan is not against this. It's just that Qingwen is dedicated to her good, and Jiang Yan can't say this directly.
Qingwen saw that she listened to it, so she said, "It's good that you know, but don't be stupid anymore, and pay some attention to guard against people." As for her, it's not that I underestimate people, the third master has read books for so many years, and there are still teachers who teach her, and it is said that the words are not fully recognized, if it is really so easy to recognize words, I would have learned it a long time ago. ”
So how much the creation of simplified Chinese characters is beneficial to the country and the people, Jiang Yan thinks about the pain when she first learned traditional Chinese characters, and feels that what Qingwen said is right. She still has a foundation for this, she is really illiterate from scratch, and she doesn't know how much energy, time, and money it takes.
The little maid is busy from morning to night, and she has a little rest time in the evening, and the monthly routine is only 500 Wen, she is not like Jiang Yan who spends money without scruples, and she is willing to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. If Si'er can really hold on for so long, it will be for her to take over the study, and Jiang Yan is also happy to see it.
A few days later, Jia Baoyu's wound scabbed and fell off, and the maids began to take turns to grow pox. The first batch is Jiang Yan, Qingwen, Bi Jin, Musk Yue, and four little maids.
Baoyu also came to reassure their hearts, "I have inquired, the doctor who came this time is the one who planted cowpox for Sister Feng and the third sister last time, and said that many people invited her over." ”
The attacker laughed: "If it weren't for the kindness of the old lady and the wife, where would we be able to get pox so quickly, and still be such a good medical woman." ”
Qingwen snorted softly, Jiang Yan also felt that her words were exaggerated, the matter of planting cowpox was promoted by the imperial court, and Jiafu was just following the order, and the slaves and maids were bought and sold, and they were also protecting their own property, so they were worthy of gratitude.
