Chapter Forty-Eight: Aunt Shui
Qin Ping didn't pay attention to it, and said directly: "From today onwards, every morning, in the afternoon, one and a half hours each, follow Mama Ma to learn rules and etiquette." It is best to learn the most basic within a month. It can meet the standard of attending the banquet of the honorable family. Then, your sister will help you invite a female gentleman who learns qinqi, calligraphy and painting to come over, and then teach you qinqi, calligraphy and painting. At that time, you learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting every morning, continue to learn rules and etiquette in the afternoon, and in the evening, you will find a good embroidery girl to teach you women's red knitting. ”
Is it easy to cultivate a lady? The honorable family has been studying intensively since the daughter was three years old. You have to study until you get married. However, the daughters in front of him. The eldest daughter, Mingzhu, is eighteen years old. It's hard to decide on a marriage now. After all, it's already old. The third daughter Minghuan is better, but she is twelve years old, hurry up, she can learn a lot of things, and find a good family to marry. As for the two younger sisters, they are both sixteen years old, which is actually a little late.
Qin Ping suddenly felt that time was pressing, no, he had to personally urge his daughters and sisters to study. Now these girls in the family, two sisters, two daughters, although they are all concubines, but they all look beautiful and beautiful, if you learn the rules and etiquette again, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not the best chess pieces for marriage?
Of course, origin and family background are also important. This used to be a weakness, but now it's different. After all, the Liguo Mansion is the Guogong Mansion, and the ladies are all the ladies of the Guogong Mansion, as for the concubine, they may have to suffer, it doesn't matter, the two younger sisters can be said to move their mother, Mrs. An, in their names. As for the two concubines, it was even easier, as long as he spoke, his wife, Mrs. Yin, must be obediently recorded in her name, and that was the identity of the concubine. has the identity of a concubine, plus the background of Miss Guogong. There is also a sister or niece who will be a national teacher in the future, that is not noble enough?
And, of course, there is a generous dowry. This point, basically, Qin Ping can't achieve it. It doesn't matter, the real powerful don't pay much attention to the dowry when they marry their daughters-in-law, they pay more attention to the political benefits they bring. At this point, his second daughter, the future national teacher, will definitely be able to satisfy them.
In that way, his sisters and daughters will definitely be able to marry well. In the short term, it can bring four high dowry gifts to the family. In the long run, it can also bring four important in-laws to the family. With the in-laws of four powerful families, are you worried that you will not be able to enter the circle of power in the future?
Thinking of a better life in the future, Qin Ping suddenly felt comfortable.
So what I have to do now is to let my sister and daughters study hard. Thinking of this, Qin Ping didn't care about Mingzhu and Minghuan's two daughters' bitter gourd faces, and went directly to his mother's yard to ask his two younger sisters to come out to study.
Before leaving, Qin Ping deliberately said to his favorite concubine Aunt Shui: "Ruyan, you clean up well, and let the two daughters learn the rules and etiquette with Mama Ma." When a young lady from a big family goes out, if the rules and etiquette are a little wrong, she can't get married. Or you can only marry into a commoner's home. Whose daughter-in-law is not looking for a beautiful woman, good rules and etiquette, can be a housekeeper, literate and hyphenated, and has a good background? If you want your daughter to have a good in-law, you can't be soft-hearted now. Urge them to learn. ”
Aunt Shui is the most favored of Qin Ping's three aunts, although she did not give birth to a son, but she is the most beautiful and the most capable of enveloping Qin Ping. She was originally a singer, but she was valued by Qin Ping and bought it with a lot of money, so she was naturally pampered.
Aunt Shui's name is Ruyan. If you talk about spoiling and petting, fighting in the backyard, singing and playing the piano, she is a good hand. However, when it comes to housekeepers, the rules and etiquette of large families, and women's red knitting, she doesn't know anything at all. Therefore, the two daughters she brought out are very pampered, and they are the most spoiled and stupid, and they can also sing songs and play the piano, but the female celebrity, the rules, and the aspect are not at all. As for reading and literacy, because when I was a child, I was very favored by my father, so Qin Ping taught me to know words, but "The Fourth Book of Women", poetry is not good.
Now that Qin Ping told Aunt Shui, Aunt Shui's smart head immediately understood. She is a singer, but her daughter is the daughter of the princess, and she will not be a singer in the future, she will marry into a big family as a wife. Naturally, it can't be something that only singers will have. However, the things that the ladies know are like smoke, and they are worried about seeing their daughter getting older day by day. Now as soon as her husband says it, she understands.
It's a great thing to find Mama Xi to teach her daughter. Although because of the tight time, my daughter may have to endure hardships, but compared with the future future, what is the gain by enduring such a little hardship? I think that when the water was like smoke and learned the work in the hands of the old bustard, the hardships were called too much.
Therefore, Shui Ruyan immediately made up her mind that she must seize this opportunity to let her two daughters learn to become authentic ladies, so that she can have a good future in the future.
Shui Ruyan immediately said: "Master, don't worry, I will naturally teach our two daughters to study hard." Our Mingzhu and Minghuan are both obedient and intelligent, and they will definitely be able to learn quickly. ”
Qin Ping was very satisfied in his heart, Ruyan is this one that is reassuring, as long as it is the thing he explains, he will definitely be able to do it well. Otherwise, how can he be pampered for 20 years?
Qin Ping said his thoughts again: "You not only have to tell Mingzhu and them to study hard, and after a while, learn the rules a little, but also let them get closer to Mingyue, so that Mingyue can take their sisters out to socialize." Participate in banquets and flower parties in the boudoir of the elite circle. In this way, they can be favored by the heads of large families, and someone will come to the door to propose. ”
Although Shui Ruyan did not bully Mrs. Yin and her sisters-in-law and daughters-in-law openly and secretly on weekdays, as soon as Qin Ping said it at this moment, she understood.
Liguo Mansion, the most promising person in the future is naturally Qin Mingyue. That's a closed disciple of the national teacher. On weekdays, she didn't listen to her husband say that Mingyue was going to be a national teacher in the future. That's one man under ten thousand people. Although Aunt Shui is a singer, I don't understand how a girl can be a national teacher. However, what the husband said must be not wrong. My husband is the grandfather of the country.
If her daughter wants to have a good future in the future, on the one hand, she must learn what everyone needs to learn, and on the other hand, she must be supported by someone to get into the circle of power and emerge, and someone will propose marriage.
Shui Ruyan secretly made up her mind in her heart that she must think of befriending Qin Mingyue.
