"It's okay Sister Yi'er, there is a good gentleman in the family, and he will definitely teach you to read! As long as you are willing to work hard and live a couple of years or two, although you still can't catch up with Sister Qiong, you can always compare with Sister Peony! The old lady comforted He Angelica and said, "You don't know, Sister Shao'er is obsessed with the new drama 'serial' in the capital, and you are not at home, she always says that it is boring to stay in the study, so she has not been listening to her husband's lectures for several months, and now is the best time for you to catch up with her!" ”

He Angelica asked worriedly: "Fourth sister, she doesn't go to class to listen to books, is it okay?" I heard her say before that the old ancestor always wanted her and her second sister to go to Chengxu Academy to study for a few years. ”

The old lady couldn't help but sigh when she thought of this, and said, "Alas, I'm a natural worryer, their own father and mother are not active, but I can't stop worrying here." Although with our Luo family's family background, Sister Qiong and Sister Shao'er will definitely not worry about getting married in the future, I want them to learn more real talents, no matter what skills they can learn more or less, and they will always come in handy in the future. In fact, it is not for nothing that we have a relationship with the academy, the old lady used to be the priest of the country, and the director Wei under him is the current vice president, but ...... I have to wait for Sister Qiong to write the brush words like a word...... As for the handwriting written by Sister Shao'er, I am embarrassed to open my mouth with Dean Wei! ”

"Ancestor, don't worry, in fact, the fourth sister is smart and clever, much better than me, she is just young and playful now, and she doesn't like to sit down and learn." He Angelica comforted the old lady softly and said, "When she likes to read and write one day, maybe she can learn to become a female champion in one go!" ”

The old lady laughed, touched He Angelica's head and said, "You girl will coax me!" Our Luodong Mansion has not even been able to teach a 'male champion', where can we teach a 'female champion'! Thinking of the letter written by He Angelica just now, the old lady hurriedly inquired, "Sister Yi, I see that your handwriting has made great progress, compared to the words before your accident, it is simply a heaven and an earth, how can you have made such great progress in just over half a month?" ”

He Angelica humbly lowered his head and said with a smile: "Where is there such a good thing that you said, Ancestor, in fact, my words are so ugly that I can't see people, if it weren't for the urgency of this matter, I wouldn't have the face to take such words out to meet people." As for the method of practicing calligraphy, it is thanks to the masters in the Taoist temple, just because I was bored in the mountains, and I saw that many of them were immersed in copying scriptures, so I also copied them casually for a few days, and gradually a few words were written familiarly, hehe, although it is still very ugly, but there are a few words of stroke writing, I can write silently without reading the book! ”

The old lady was happy and worried when she heard it, happy that Sister Yi'er had already entered the door to write, and worried that this method was not applicable to Sister Shao'er, so she shook her head and said: "But Sister Shao'er's girl is not as qualitative as you, even if you put ten maids who can write in front of her every day, she will not learn from them, alas, when she marries in the future, it will be her mother-in-law's turn to have a headache, and the housewife also has to write and paint on weekdays......"

Mama Tang listened to the old lady who kept talking about the bad handwriting of the fourth lady, but she ignored the big mistake that the fourth lady really made, so she abruptly interjected and asked He Angelica: "Third Miss, are your hands still itchy, the old slave has the detoxification and fire dispersion given by the ninth aunt here, although it is not very effective, but after rubbing it, it is now itching for an hour, and the itching is not so uncomfortable!" As he spoke, he handed her a small blue porcelain medicine bottle.

Mama, that's because you have a small amount of water, so the symptoms have slowly subsided, and it has nothing to do with this detoxification. He Angelica said silently in his heart, but then he lowered his head and smiled gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, then Angelica will be ashamed." She uncorked the bottle, took some and returned the bottle to Mama Tang.

The old lady stroked He Angelica's slender shoulder, and persuaded in a low voice: "Sister Yi, I have heard Hongjiang mention this matter, just now on the way to the Taoist temple, Hongjiang She also advised me to restrain Sister Shao'er, and said that Sister Shao'er should be sent to the Taoist temple to live for two months to sharpen her temperament." But your fourth sister is young after all, a year younger than you, and these bad drugs must have been bought by the Diao slaves around her. After all, I watched her grow up, she has been a straightforward child since she was a child, she can't hide words in her stomach, and she doesn't have any bad intentions, which is very much her mother's ......"

He Angelica hung his head slightly, listening to the old lady's amiable voice. In her previous life, the old lady was actually a relatively quiet person, and there were not many times when she talked to He Angelica at length, and every time the old lady suddenly said a lot, it was usually because she had something to persuade her, and those things were usually inseparable from the group of people in the second room. Listening to it like this, He Angelica lowered his head more deeply and smiled slightly, heh, after all, she is the granddaughter of her relatives, no one can bear to be harsh, human nature.

Half a year ago, the legendary third lady He Angelica came to Luo's house, and the old lady also asked her to go to the study to listen to the lecture of the female gentleman with Luo Baiqiong and Luo Baishao without discrimination.

Because He Angelica is a "transfer student", the female gentleman wants to test her level first, so she asks her to write a thousand-word article with the title of "Falling Flowers" to show her. He Angelica was embarrassed and told the female gentleman that he couldn't write it. Luo Baishao laughed out loud, Luo Baiqiong admired her nails, and coughed intentionally or unintentionally.

The female gentleman frowned, he didn't expect this transfer student's foundation to be so bad, and after a pause, the female gentleman asked her to write a 100-character Chinese with the title of "Spring Water" to show her. He Angelica wrung his sleeves, bowed his head and told the female gentleman that he had not learned Chinese yet, and could only understand some "Zhihu Ye" in daily communication, and the deeper ones were not very clear. Luo Baishao turned her eyes and poked her head over, muttering to Luo Baiqiong, and then Luo Baishao raised her head and kindly told the female gentleman: "She grew up on a farm in the countryside, you can ask her some questions about that!" In Luo Baishao's eyes, the female gentleman is just a high-level subordinate, so she always speaks to the female gentleman in a commanding tone.

The female gentleman was a little unhappy with Luo Baishao's commanding tone, so she did not do what the other party instructed, but asked He Angelica to write a five-character quatrain with the title of "Father's Grace" to show her. He Angelica was stunned for a moment, and Fang told the female gentleman that in fact, in addition to his own name, he could only write more than 20 words in total, and he couldn't make any poems. This was actually He Angelica's real level at that time, but Luo Baishao suddenly shouted: "Sir, she is lying!" She was obviously angry that she didn't write this topic because she was angry! She has a grudge against her father, and she is not her father's own! ”

The female gentleman was confused, although she couldn't figure out what the situation of the new third lady was, but because He Angelica and Luo Baishao disrupted the order of the class, the female gentleman punished them for thinking for an hour in accordance with the old lady's request, "Be as strict as possible with them, and don't take into account their identities", and on the second day, they each had to submit a thousand-word article with the title of "Father's Grace".

In the previous life, He Angelica lived on the farm until he was nine years old, working in the fields during the day, spinning and grinding tofu at night, never reading a book for a day, and not even writing his own name.

Later, Luo Chuanxiong was diagnosed as unable to have children, so he took He Angelica, who was born to her first husband, to live with the whole family of her second husband, He Fu. Although He Angelica met for the first time, he called everyone "Dad", "Grandma", "Aunt" and "Uncle" happily according to his mother's instructions in advance, but none of those people were willing to squeak, and they all wrote the unhappiness in their hearts clearly on their faces.

Luo Chuanxiong: What does this mean exactly? Under normal circumstances, the wife is sick and unable to have children, so she naturally has to take a concubine for her husband immediately. Do you want their family to help others raise cheap daughters? Their family He Fu himself has no heirs, so if this delay continues, will their He family continue to burn incense?

Originally, Luo Chuanxiong was three years older than He Fu, and she had married and had children, so she felt very inferior in her heart, but now that she found out that she had used a lot of musk in her early years, and she could no longer give birth to He Fu, she was even more panicked, and naturally she didn't want to get other women into the house and take away her husband immediately. She thought in private, since her husband said that he liked children, it would be better to take his daughter to live with him first, make him happy every day, and wait until her relationship with her husband deepened, and then choose one or two honest concubines for him to have a son, so that the family would be complete if they had children and daughters.

With such a good wish, despite the displeasure of He Fu's family, even the blind can see it, Luo Chuanxiong still invited the best pianist and dancer in Yangzhou to teach her daughter, so that she could learn to play the piano, dance and sing day and night. Every time Luo Chuanxiong heard the master say that her daughter had learned some new tunes and new footsteps, she would force her into He Fu's study and let her sing, dance and play the piano to He Fu, hoping to impress He Fu in this way and save the relationship between their husband and wife.

At the beginning, He Angelica did it obediently, feeling that although learning these music and rhythm knowledge was several times harder than farming, there were many interesting things in it, and he gradually became fascinated. But when he sang and danced in He Fu's study until the tenth month, He Angelica, who had unconsciously grown a head taller, gradually didn't want to dance to "Dad" anymore, because every time she walked into that study, "Dad's" deep and dark eyes always looked at her with fear.

I didn't know how to explain it to my mother, so He Angelica lied and said that it was too tiring to learn dance and piano, so I didn't want to learn it again in the future. When her mother didn't allow it, she spoke up against her mother because of her grievances, which made her angry and slapped her, ordering her to continue to study hard, and to learn more and better tunes and more and better dances.

After more than a month like this, He Fu spent money to dredge up the relationship, found a position as the governor of the Jingwei Command Envoy of the Eighth Grade, and bought a house in the capital, of course, both of which were used by Luo Chuanxiong's dowry money. Before taking office, He Fu bought three tickets to put his mother, sister and brother-in-law on a passenger ship bound for Yingtianfu, and explained to his wife that because they had never been to the capital, they wanted to go shopping first.

One night a few days later, He Fu, dressed in purple, quietly came to He Angelica's boudoir, first woke her up, and then covered her mouth and nose to prevent her from making a sound, telling her that now "Dad" was going to take her to a fun place, so that she would not resist and obediently follow "Dad".
