Time flies, three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and now Shuning is six years old. Although she has always tried to keep a low profile, she has an adult soul, and no matter how hard she tries to pretend, she will leak the stuffing, but fortunately, her performance is not too out of line, and her family only thinks that she is a little smarter than ordinary people.

In fact, she was able to successfully avoid arousing the suspicion of her family, thanks to a cousin. Wan Ning, the second daughter of the eldest uncle in the Earl's Mansion in Beijing, is his only daughter-in-law, beautiful and intelligent, versatile, and will please the elders since she was a child, although she is only two years older than Shuning, she is already a famous prodigy and talented girl in Beijing, and her reputation has spread so much that even the nobles in the palace know it, and the empress dowager has asked someone to bring it into the palace to see. When the whole family talks about this little lady, they only have good words.

Because this sister is too good, Shuning, who is much smarter than an ordinary little girl, is inconspicuous. Even Zhang Bao and Tong, who knew that their daughters were stronger than other families, were regretting that she was not as good as Wanning in the big house, which made Shuning feel a lot more at ease. On the contrary, it was Duanning, who loved his sister like his life, and he was disdainful of the reputation of his second cousin, and when someone asked, he only said: "My sister is the strongest." Others only thought that he loved his sister and laughed at it.

In fact, there is a reason why Duan Ning is so confident in his sister. He hadn't asked his sister about her studies since he handed over the whip to his mother, but after a while, he was surprised to find that his sister Shuning had begun to read adult books and practiced writing big characters every day, when she was not yet four years old.

Shuning is very self-disciplined in her academic arrangements.

Zhang Bao was diligent in running errands every day, so he got up on the fifth watch, and arrived at the yamen at the end of the day. The whole family got up early with him, and even Duan Ning got up early because he wanted to study. Originally, Shuning was the youngest and could sleep later, but she still woke up with the fifth watch. After waking up, I first do a little exercise, that is, stretch my legs and twist my waist, etc., after freshening up, I first go to the upper room to greet my parents, and then come to have breakfast for the whole family. After dinner, Zhang Bao went on a business trip, Duan Ning went to review his homework, and went to his husband's house after an hour. Tong's family went back to the room to arrange a day's housework, and Shuning followed her mother back to the room, first reading by herself, and asking her mother if she didn't understand.

Tong studied with his biological mother for a few years when he was a child, and he was considered a relatively rare educated person among the women of the official eunuchs, and he could answer general questions. Shuning studied for an hour or two, and when the Tong family arranged the housework, she had to start learning the rules. Every day, you have to learn how to walk, how to salute, what to say when you meet someone, what rules to eat and drink, and so on. It will take at least an hour, and then lunch. After that, Tong will take a nap, and Shuning will also take a lunch break. After getting up, I went to the yard for a walk, and then practiced big characters for a while.

The time spent practicing calligraphy gradually increases as you get older. When she was tired of practicing, she learned needlework from her second sister-in-law in the room, or talked to her mother. Duan Ningshen came home from school at two o'clock, and Zhang Bao didn't come back until Youshi every day, and the family chatted for a while after eating, and then Zhang Bao began to teach his children Manchu and Mongolian characters. After a watch, the whole family will rest.

Shuning lives an extremely fulfilling life every day, but learning the rules makes her a little annoyed. Tong's is extremely strict with his daughter in this regard. She was originally a concubine, she was not valued since she was a child, and she was also looked down upon by her in-laws after she got married, and now she is away from home, and sooner or later she will have to return to the family, in case the children are compared with the children in other rooms, she will be even more shameless, so she attaches great importance to the upbringing of the children, and must educate her son to be a civil and military all-rounder, and train her daughter to be a perfect lady.

But these things are very painful torture for Shu Ning, a modern soul. However, she couldn't resist her mother's request, and although these things were cumbersome, the so-called good habit was good, and gradually she no longer rejected them, and even because she practiced every day, those actions and various precautions had already been carved into her bones and formed a conditioned reflex. The outstanding performance in etiquette and demeanor brought her a benefit: as long as she followed Tong's eyes, she would basically not be hindered in what she liked to do. She likes to go to her father's room to flip through the books, and Tong just told her not to mess up the books, so she let her go.

In this case, Shuning gets the opportunity to flip through the history books alone in the study.

Zhang Bao is a scholar, and most of the people who come and go on weekdays are civilian officials, and he has lived in Mukden for several years, and his family already has a lot of books. In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics and various books on the constitution, even if there are the most historical books. Shuning usually uses an easy-to-understand book as a cover, but secretly consults those tomes. The more she looked at the history recorded in the book, the more confused she became. The world seems to be very different from the history she originally knew, and the development of history can be said to have happened many times, but strangely, it always turns back to the original path.

For example, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period was no longer a bored bag in history, but a very shrewd and capable generation of Ming monarchs, who did a lot of things and greatly changed the situation of the century-old disputes in the Three Kingdoms period. However, his successors were biased and biased, which led to the courtiers monopolizing power, and after decades of chaos, the Sima family successfully staged a coup d'état and founded the Jin dynasty.

For another example, during the Gaozong period of the Tang Dynasty, although Empress Wu still intervened in the government affairs, Li Zhi of Tang Gaozong did not get seriously ill, nor did he hand over the government to his wife, so the female emperor did not appear. Li Xian, the crown prince who inherited the throne of Gaozong, who was supposed to die, passed the throne to his younger brother Li Dan because he had no son, and then Li Dan's son Li Longji became the crown prince, so the track of history turned back to the original avenue after a slight turn.

For another example, during the period of Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi's reform of the law should have led to party disputes in the imperial court, but it unexpectedly did not have serious consequences, and even the national strength at that time was greatly enhanced. Among the political celebrities at that time, there was also a concubine named "Wang Jing'an", who invented a powerful firearm, which greatly increased the combat strength of the Song Dynasty army and killed the Western Xia capital. The Song Dynasty flourished for hundreds of years and was known as "Shenzong Zhongxing". It's a pity that the next emperor didn't live long, and the next emperor suddenly died of illness without giving birth to a son, so he had to choose an heir from the clan, and the new emperor's temple name was also Huizong, and he was very fond of calligraphy and painting, so that the government was corrupted. At the same time, the Mongols rose up and finally destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty. Soon after, the Southern Song Dynasty was established.

This has happened several times. Although Shuning is not a history major, she has read a lot of time-traveling novels, and she has begun to be a little numb. It seems that what she has traveled through is not the Qing Dynasty in real history, but a Qing Dynasty in history similar to that of a parallel world. In this world, crossings happen all the time. Although not known to the general public, the time-traveler is a traversal of almost every period of history. But no matter how they change the world, history will always return to its original track. There may be some imprints, some changes, but the general trend is the same.

Shuning didn't know how to describe her mood, she could be said to be sad and happy at the moment. Sadly, the little historical knowledge she has seems to be unreliable. No one knows what will happen in the future, history will change, although it will return to the right track later, but as long as there is a time-traveler, it is possible to change, and there are often time-travelers (she herself is one); The good news is that she doesn't have to worry about what she does changing history and leading to bad results.

She had heard a theory before that if the time-traveler returned to ancient times to change history, there would be a trivial reaction, which would cause everything to change later, and even affect the birth of the time-traveler himself, so that he would completely disappear from this world. This theory has a certain impact on Shuning, but now she doesn't have to worry about it anymore, even if she lets go and does what she wants, she doesn't have to worry about affecting her future self (not in the world at all, what are you afraid of).

In addition to the history books in the study, there are also several books that tell about people's livelihood and local customs, and Shuning has also read them, but she has solved a few questions that have always been in her heart. For example, glass, originally invented by the king of the Northern Song Dynasty, the craft has always been kept secret by the royal family, although it was later lost due to war, but it was revived in the Ming Dynasty. According to legend, it started in the area south of the Yangtze River, then spread to Shandong, and then flowed into Beizhili. At first, it was also a luxury, but later there were more people who made it, and the more it was sold, the cheaper it became, and it developed to the point where ordinary people could afford it. However, after the Qing soldiers entered the customs, many glassmakers fled to the south, and for various reasons, they suffered a lot of losses, and now they have become valuable things, and only the wealthy can afford to use them.

It sounds like "Five Good Families of the Ming Dynasty".

But she was numb and had no intention of digging deeper.

often flips through books, which makes Shuning's temperament change a lot. Her childish behavior in order to gain the trust of her family can no longer be pretended. Fortunately, her family thought that she had read too many books and did not suspect it. Tong also felt that his daughter had become stable and organized in her speech and deeds, and she felt that she had taught her well, and she was very self-satisfied, and she had no doubts at all. Duan Ning felt a lot of pressure because he saw that his sister had a tendency to overshadow him, so he had to study harder to maintain his dignity as an older brother, which the whole family was happy to see.

The family was not suspicious, which made Shuning feel more relaxed. She decided to do something to improve her usual life a little. The first thing to do is to organize the books in the study.

Zhang Bao didn't tidy up the study well, he always put the books he liked to read on the shelves at hand, and put the rest according to categories, and he didn't remember them carefully, and when he wanted to find books, he often had to look for a long time. Shuning arranged the books according to the books according to the type of books according to the method of the libraries she had seen in the past, and then arranged the books according to the order of the first stroke of the title, made some small notes, numbered them with the Tiangandi branch combined with Chinese numerals, and glued them to the spine. In addition, I made a large book, and wrote the titles and numbers of all the books in neat block letters according to the category. In this way, if you want to find any book, you have to look up this index book, and then look for it on the bookshelf by number. After reading the book, you can also put the book back according to the number.

At first, Zhang Bao and Duan Ning were not very accustomed to this method, but after a few days, they found that it was convenient. Even Ma San'er, who is in charge of cleaning the study, no longer worries about often misplacing the shelves because he doesn't know the content of the book, he just needs to put the book according to the number.

Zhang Bao felt more and more that this method was easy to use, and one day, when he was handling documents in the yamen, he had an idea and felt that he could use the indexing method in his study for official business.
