Chapter 274: Academy
Seeing that Brother Chen couldn't recite the book, Xu Lingyi's face was a little unsightly, but he didn't say anything, and helped Mrs. Tai to go to the east room.
Brother Chen stood there with his head hung in frustration.
Eleven Niang stepped forward and asked him, "Are you a little scared!" β
Brother Zhen nodded, with tears in his eyes: "I will carry it." β
Eleven Niang said softly: "Then let's find a time to recite it to Daddy, okay?" β
Brother Zhen nodded vigorously.
Eleven Niang took his hand: "Let's go to dinner first!" β
Brother Zhen didn't move: "If it were me, I still wouldn't be able to carry it?" "Nervous and dazed.
"We shouldn't have so many people and quietly recite it to our father, will Brother Zhen forget it?" Eleven Niang asked him in a low voice.
Brother Chen's head hung lower: "Mr. asked me, I, I can't recite it either!" β
Eleven Niang was secretly frightened.
If so, I'm afraid that something is not good.
But at this time, you can't hit the child.
"Then you can recite it to me, okay?" Eleven Niang tried to ask him.
Brother Zhen thought about it for a moment before he reluctantly said "yes".
Eleven Niang remembered that during the Chinese New Year, he recited "Kindergarten" in front of everyone......
"Let's go eat first." She smiled and hugged her brother, "I don't want to do this now." Eat well. Otherwise, your father will be angry again when he sees you holding chopsticks and picking up rice grains to eat. Anyway, I can't memorize the book anymore, so let's eat first! β
"Hmm!" Brother Zhen responded in a whisper, and obediently led by Eleven Niang to the east room.
The second lady, who was walking in front, glanced back.
may have listened to the persuasion of Eleven Niang, Brother Zhen ate in a regular manner this time, and his demeanor revealed a few copies of the calmness of the son of the family, against the side of Xu Si's admonition to gobble up, the maid fed him, but he refused, he ate and dropped the rice grains on the table, and picked them up and stuffed them in his mouth, looking very embarrassed.
A hint of pity flashed in Mrs. Tai's eyes.
But the fifth lady turned her face sideways, as if she didn't see it.
Xu Lingyi wanted to speak and stopped. On the way back, he whispered to Eleven Niang: "I think I moved to Lijingxuan, so I still find an excuse to let Brother Jie's stop eating at the table." Let the mothers in charge of the house train first. β
Children also have self-esteem. Although they don't understand it for the time being, parents should help them maintain it.
Eleven Niang also agreed, and talked to Xu Lingyi about Brother Chen: "...... I asked him privately. He said he was a little scared, so he couldn't recite it......"
"Scared, scared!" Xu Lingyi showed a little impatience between her eyebrows, "Either scared, worried, or nervous." How old is he? Can it go on like this? β
If you ask a question and you can't solve it, it's better not to ask it again.
Shi Niang changed the topic with a smile: "Speaking of which, March 3 is still Brother Jie's birthday?" β
Where did Xu Lingyi remember, "Oh" and said, "Then take this opportunity to do it for him." He added, "You see how much silver it will cost, and I'll let Mr. Bai pull it out." β
Eleven Niang thought of the attitude of the fifth master and the fifth lady today...... What Xu Si commanded was not publicity, but forbearance.
She used the words of the second lady as an excuse: "The child is still young, and it is easy to break the fortune if he does a lot of things." I think, when the time comes, just go to the bowl of longevity noodles! β
"You just have to make up your mind!" Xu Lingyi looked at Sister Zhen and led Xu Si, who was walking in front, "Since you are with us, you can't let him suffer." β
Shi Niang smiled and nodded, and when she returned to the house, she told Aunt Qin and Aunt Wen who came to say hello about the move, and then instructed Lu Yun to go and talk to Qiao Lianfang.
Aunt Wen had no objection, but Aunt Qin hesitated: "I, can I see the days before moving." β
Eleven Niang was puzzled.
Aunt Wen smiled and explained on the side: "Aunt Qin made offerings to the Bodhisattva in the house. β
Although Eleven Niang does not believe in these, she does not exclude others from believing them.
"Then Aunt Qin made a decision earlier. lest the time be delayed in the day of groundbreaking. β
Aunt Qin left in response. In the middle of the night, I burned a yellow watch in the courtyard and prayed.
Aunt Wen returned to the house but sewed her trouser belts with Qiuhong, Donghong, Yu'er and others overnight.
"The belt is there, and the people are there. If the belt is gone, there is no need for people to live. β
"Yes!" Qiu Hong and the others thought that there were 200,000 taels of silver tickets in their belts, and their hands holding needles were a little trembling.
Qiao Lianfang was a little stunned when she heard this: "Master Hou...... Moved to Chuilun Water Pavilion, me and my two aunts moved to Nong Heung Yuan? β
"Yes! Aunt Joe. Lu Yun smiled, "I heard that this was Mrs. Tai's idea. β
Qiao Lianfang was stunned for a while, and asked Xiu Xuan to reward Lu Yun with two pieces of broken silver, and then sent her out.
Lu Yun looked a little chilled in his heart, and went back to Eleven Niang: "...... Rewarded me with silver for the first time! β
"If you are rewarded, you will continue!" Eleven Niang said with a smile.
You can't just open your umbrella every day just because it's going to rain!
Her days will be passed still.
Lu Yun should say yes and make a cup of hot tea for Eleven Niang - she is transcribing the list of guests for March 3 with Amber, and the guests are all drawn up according to the old practice.
Eleven Niang found that the more the amber was written, the better it became.
"Practice again, you can write an invitation." The tone was very reassuring.
Amber pursed her lips and smiled, but the words embroidered in red were in her head: "...... Yanrong heard that Mrs. likes women who are literate and literate, so she has to practice writing for an hour every morning. Rain or shine, frost and snow don't stop! β
She is staring at the position after Binju leaves!
Amber remembered Hamaju......
"Madam, will Sister Binju return to the door in nine days or twelve days?"
If you return to the door in nine days, it will be the second day of the third month, and if you return to the door in twelve days, it will be the fifth day of the third month.
"I'll let her come back to the door with a full moon."
Amber was stunned.
Eleven Niang smiled: "I didn't think of it at the time. I just think she lives far away, and it will take a day to get around. And at the end of March, when the spring flowers are blooming, she can still go green. β
Amber laughed when she heard this: "Sister Hamaju is really blessed. β
But in my heart, I was thinking that my wife was thinking about the old like this. Seeing it, you have to walk around with Zhu Xiang more.
There are many clever and clever people in this house......
At this moment, Eleven Niang looked at the familiar names on the red gold paper, but her expression was a little dazed.
It's the third day of March again.
The first time she saw Xu Lingyi, it was also March 3!
A lot happened that day.
First, Shi Niang suddenly appeared, and then there was a small courtyard incident.
March 3. For many people, it's just an ordinary good day; For many, it's a turning point in life. Yuan Niang, Qiao Lianfang, Shi Niang, Lan Ting, Cao E, Lin Mingyuan...... Even Wen Lian, familiar or unfamiliar faces passed through her mind.
Eleven Niang shook her head fiercely and shook off those memories.
She rarely indulges in the past. Because it is useless to be sad and regretful, time will always drag people forward.
She told Amber to find her some modest clothes: "Tomorrow morning we will go see Brother Chen!" β
Amber was surprised.
The Xu family's ethnology is called Chengxun Academy, which is in the north and south corners of the outer courtyard. is talking about ethnology, in fact, the Xu family currently only has Xu Siyu and Brother Zhen studying there, and the other seven or eight students are the children of some minor officials or ministers in Beijing, although it is not complicated, but after all, there are outsiders.
"I think there's something wrong with Brother Chen's situation...... "Shi Niang didn't think too much about this, she muttered, "How can I say that Mr. can't recite it even if he asks him to endorse it...... He was afraid of Hou Ye...... Are you afraid that the gentleman will not succeed? β
"Do you want to ask the second young master?" Amber said, "The second young master and the fourth young master are studying together, they should know something!" β
"After all, it's my own husband," Shi Niang shook her head slightly, "Even if there is anything, the second young master is not easy to say." Why bother him? Let's take a look and think about it. β
Amber responded and found a lake pigment gown for Eleven Niang that she wore when she was at her parents' house.
Xu Lingyi is backβhe just went to the study.
He was accompanied by Lin Bo and Photography. The two of them each held several cardboard boxes.
He instructed Lin Bo and Shadow to place the cardboard box on the kang table in the inner room.
Eleven Niang stepped forward and bowed, and said with a smile: "What is this Hou Ye for?" β
Xu Lingyi beckoned her to look at it: "Xiao Wu did it." Say it's a model of a house. I sent it at noon today. Then he pointed out to her, "This is the window, this is the door, this is the main hall...... and it is so vivid that it is clear whether the window lattice is cracked in ice or in plum blossoms.
"The fifth master is really amazing!" Eleven Niang sincerely admired.
Xu Lingyi said: "If only he could spend half of these thoughts on errands." β
Eleven Niang can understand Xu Lingkuan.
Anyway, it's better to spend your mind on what interests you and have some fun.
Xu Lingyi told her again about where to plant trees and where to plant flowers.
Eleven Niang's interest also came.
The two talked for a long time, and did not stop until they heard the sound of more drums.
The next day, Eleven Niang made a random compilation, took Amber and Green Cloud, and the third and fourth mothers went to the outer courtyard to study the family.
Because of the prior order to go quietly, the group went in from the backyard, and Eleven Niang listened under the window lattice at the back of the house.
There was silence in the room, and Mr. was talking about "everything has its beginnings and ends, and things have always been there" in "University".
His voice is sonorous, his tone is stern, and his learning is okay. Quoting scriptures, touching the analogy, and speaking freely, the words are orderly and detailed. The disadvantage is that the content is stiff and stereotyped, which is not likely to arouse people's interest. During this time, he ordered several students to answer questions. Some answered well, and some answered poorly. He kept silent when he answered well, but reprimanded him on the spot if he answered badly, and his tone was sharp and fierce.
Eleven Niang left the clan study lightly.
After dinner, he sent Brother Zhen back to his place and asked him to recite "Kindergarten Learning" and listen to it by himself.
He memorized six chapters in one breath without even pausing.
In the evening, Eleven Niang asked Xu Lingyi: "Didn't you say that you want to change Mr. for Brother Yu?" Did you change it? β
Xu Lingyi shook his head: "I didn't find a suitable one." Although this is average in learning, it is better to be upright and upright. It's not about taking the top prize. Let's teach it for now! β
Since she took a fancy to Mr.'s character, Eleven Niang swallowed what she wanted to say. Early the next morning, someone brought a letter to Luo Zhenxing, asking him to take the time to come anyway.
