In order to save the trouble of going back and forth at noon, the courtyard of the boudoir has long been prepared for the girls to take a lunch break. Just behind the study, there are two rows of rooms, a row of five rooms, all decorated in one color, simple and elegant. But Wanhua's room has a lark, every day at noon, Wanhua always has to come to tease the lark, and Jinhua's house is full of all kinds of things, most of which are given by Li Xunzhuo on weekdays, for fear that others don't know how favored she is in the second room.

After eating, the maids quickly cleaned up the food boxes on the table, and immediately someone came up to serve tea and put a few fresh fruits on the table. If it was usual, Wanhua and Jinhua would look at each other and hate each other, so they would go back to the house to rest after class, and the meals would be delivered to their respective rooms. Not only did I come to Shaohua today, but also Yan Sui went to school together, so I had more voices and a better appetite.

Yan Sui is accustomed to observing words and feelings, and her eyebrows are dancing when she speaks, and the atmosphere is a little stiff because of her maid's interjection, and she tries to tell some hometown anecdotes after dinner, so that the Wanhua sisters have to laugh. Although Jinhua had an unpleasant quarrel with them during the meal, she was just a little girl in the end, and she knew her identity. Seeing that the three of them were all gathered and talking, they finally couldn't help but rub over and weakly asked to join.

Yan Sui was naturally busy agreeing, but her eyes went back and forth on the sisters who said good things. Wanhua is used to Jinhua's temperament, and she prides herself on being the eldest sister, so she doesn't know her in general, and Shaohua sees that her eldest sister is like this, and she just laughs and doesn't say anything.

In the tea and fruit room, there was an endless stream of laughter and laughter, and I didn't plan to go back to the room at all.

In the morning, the teaching is the way of etiquette and etiquette, Wanhua's calm and calm and Shaohua's practice easily cover up the incompleteness of the other two, and the afternoon course focuses on cultivating personal strengths. As a lady, you can not show your talent to the public, but you can't have a skill, which also affects your first impression of your husband's family to a certain extent. Because when the matchmaker comes to say goodbye, it is essential to ask the lady's skills, the better the talent, the better the impression of the in-law's family.

Mama Rong asked about Yan Sui's talent, learned that she was good at guqin and embroidery, and nodded frequently after seeing Yan Sui's female red. Jinhua was about to pull out his newly embroidered silk, and after seeing Yan Sui's craftsmanship, he secretly hid the handkerchief. I thought with hatred in my heart that before Shaohua and Yan Sui came, she always thought that Mama Rong didn't praise her because of her temperament, and she didn't take it to heart. But today, I saw that she was looking sideways at the two new sisters, and a pair of small hands were hidden in the sleeves and secretly clenched.

"Five ladies, how is your female red, but there are embroideries." Mama Rong's voice is warm and calm, very good.

Shaohua was timid and said with a sneer: "I don't have embroidery." ”

In fact, it is very bad, once embroidered a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water, she painted for three months to embroider a pair of braised ducks, and the white handkerchief was stained with blood. Her mother, who was waiting for her, asked her to change the embroidery to the simplest one, and hooked the outline of a petal for her to fill in the line, and as a result, a white and beautiful pear blossom was embroidered into a red plum, and it smelled slightly fishy.

"Have you ever learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" Mama Rong frowned.

"No, I didn't." Shaohua shook his head honestly.

In fact, she wants to say that she is good at dancing, and the girls in northern Sichuan are good at singing and dancing. But when she was still Xin Zimo, Mama Rong strictly told her: Singing and dancing is a glamorous voice, and everyone can't learn it, and it is known that she is going to lose her identity.

As soon as Shaohua's voice fell, and she heard a thin snicker, she glanced at Jinhua. Seeing her turn her eyes away, she secretly told herself that she couldn't deal with her here.

Wanhua's face was unhappy, and he was annoyed that he hadn't told Shaohua earlier. But she clearly remembered that her mother said that Shaohua's female popularity was good, and she could play the kite, so why did she become useless. "Sir, Wu Niang was unwell before, she was sick a lot, I think there are some things I can't remember, or wait ......" Rong Mama raised her hand to stop her words, Wanhua looked at Shaohua worriedly, but she was not embarrassed.

"What else will the lady do?" Mama Rong didn't seem to take Shaohua's embarrassment seriously, and continued to ask softly.

"I, I'll ......" Shaohua hesitated, looked up and saw Wanhua with a nervous face, thinking that if she couldn't pass this level today, she would definitely not be able to pass Wanhua's level at night. took a deep breath, and said in a deep tone: "Mr. Hui's words, the little girl has practiced calligraphy and learned pipa for a few years, and nothing else will be, especially the female red." "That character is practiced every time I am naughty and punished for copying poetry.

Mama Rong listened to Shaohua's righteous words, was stunned for a while, and smiled unexpectedly when everyone thought she was angry, "Can you climb trees and ride horses?" This time it was Shaohua's turn to be stunned, and Mama Rong immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing and changed the topic: "I have taught so many ladies, it is the fifth lady of the Li family and the county lord of the general Dingxi family who are the most courageous. ”

Wanhua breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Mama Rong was going to blame Shaohua, but when she saw Shaohua's complicated expression and seemed to be crying, she thought she was also frightened. But when she came back, she had been studying for so long, but it was the first time she saw Mama Rong smiling, and this faint smile was so beautiful.

"Sir, the eldest lady invites all the ladies to the Xuyuan." Liu's mother Mai said.

Mama Rong nodded, and said to the happy girls, "Let's go back, girls." Seeing Shaohua's happy appearance, he said: "The fifth lady will start to learn female red from tomorrow, even if you embroider the water duck, the Li family lady doesn't understand female red, and it will make people laugh off their big teeth when it is passed on." The other three girls all covered their mouths and chuckled, and Shaohua looked annoyed, she still couldn't escape this catastrophe after all.

When everyone got up and saluted and was about to leave, they suddenly said, "The Seventh Lady won't be used tomorrow." ”

Jinhua was stunned for a moment, thinking that Mama Rong was concerned about her foot injury, and her heart was excited, and she hurriedly said: "Sir, my foot injury is not tight, it will not affect my homework." ”

Mama Rong glanced at her slowly, and her tone was obviously a little colder than what she had ordered Shaohua, "If the Seventh Lady can't figure out why I let you suspend your studies, you can think about it in the house for a few more days, and it's not too late to come over when the Lady understands." ”

When Jinhua heard her say this, tears suddenly brewed in her heart, she bit her lip, and hurriedly shouted: "Sir, slow down, please give me advice!" ”

"The elder and the young are respectful, virtuous and obedient, I hope you will remember." After Mama Rong finished speaking, she bowed slightly to them and left slowly.

Everyone was embarrassed in their hearts, and they never thought that the play between their sisters just now was seen by Mama Rong. Seeing that she didn't say a word, they thought she didn't know, but she didn't want to be intimate in class, and her tone showed the attitude of the girls in the matter of Mama Rong's talent.

Although Wanhua is not wrong, as the eldest sister, she has not set an example, and it has already been counted. Yan Sui didn't do it right, and the maids around her were disrespectful, and she should have been punished for the following crimes, but she woke up in time and her attitude was good enough. For the sake of her non-Li surname, Mama Rong didn't ask too much, only Shaohua muttered a few words to herself, which seemed to be unintentional, but in fact, she was mentioning everyone, so she had Yan Sui's later attitude, so Mama Rong praised her the most.

Especially when she heard her seemingly scoundrel words, she suddenly remembered that not long ago in northern Sichuan, she also talked about the rules for a lady who didn't know female celebrities and opposed riding and shooting.

"The eldest lady said that the seventh lady's foot injury has not healed, so she doesn't have to go with other ladies, just go back to Biwuxuan first." Mother Mai doesn't have a good impression of this concubine, her tone is arrogant and frivolous, if it weren't for the second master holding her in the palm of her hand as a treasure, I'm afraid the Li family doesn't like Jinhua's mother and daughter.

"Mama Mai, it's better to let Qi Niang go with us, let's get off at Xuyuan first, and then bother my mother to send Qi Niang back to Biwuxuan." Hearing what Mama Rong said just now, Wanhua immediately reflected on herself, and secretly glad that she didn't argue with Jinhua. Otherwise, being reprimanded by Mr. in front of so many people, even if Ling didn't blame her, she would be ashamed of herself.

"I don't want it." Jinhua endured it for a long time before he came to his senses, his eyes were already red, but he reluctantly smiled: "Sisters, go with Mama Mai, I'll stay for a while before leaving." ”

Although she doesn't like Jinhua, but in the end she is the sister of the same father, Wanhua frowned and looked at her. Shaohua touched his sister lightly and shook his head at her slightly, Jinhua relied on Li Xunzhuo's love, he had never been so wronged in the second room, and he was not even polite to his sister-in-law. At this time, she was frustrated repeatedly, and it must not be a taste in her heart, and they would only embarrass her even more if she kept it.

"Ask Lan, take care of your lady." After Wanhua finished speaking, she and the other two girls left with Mama Mai.

As soon as they left, Jinhua finally couldn't help it, and cried bitterly on the desk. Wen Lan grew up serving Jinhua since she was a child, and she suddenly felt very sad when she was so embarrassed and sad. stepped forward to caress her shoulders that were undulating from crying, and gently persuaded: "Seventh lady, let's go back, let's find the second master." ”

"Why, why, she obviously doesn't know anything, why is Mr. so partial to her. Just because she was born to my wife and I was born to my aunt, I couldn't get good even if I tried hard. Jinhua was crying sadly with a handful of snot and tears, but Wenlan looked around nervously, reminding her that it was not appropriate to talk here, and that she should go back to her own courtyard. Jinhua was sad in his heart, how could he care so much, "Don't, I don't want it!" The third sister is okay, but why did she come to fight with me because she was raised in the countryside, didn't she say that she was very good, why did she take her back. ”

"My good lady, please don't say it, Sir will hear it." Perhaps it was the word Mr. that brought Jinhua back to some senses, asked Lan to take out a handkerchief, wiped away the tears on her face, and said distressedly: "Seventh lady, you are no worse than others at all, even if the second lady doesn't like you, but the second master likes it, you don't look at it, he cares about you far more than the third lady." The third lady is still a serious eldest daughter, but compared to you, she is just a poor lady who is not close to her father. Don't cry, when you go back, your aunt will see it, and you may have to worry a lot. ”

At the mention of Su's family, the tears that could not be stopped fell again, and Jinhua cried: "I won't come to school tomorrow, how can I explain to my aunt, if my father asks, what can I do." "She always shows how serious and smart she is in front of Li Xunzhuo, and now she has been suspended from school by her husband, how can she explain.

Wen Lan was in a dilemma, thought for a while and said: "Seventh lady, you don't care about it for now, my aunt asked and said that Mr. understands your foot injury and lets you recuperate at home for two days." The aunt won't ask more, even if the second master doesn't believe it, he won't go to the gentleman. ”

"But the third sister ......" Jinhua listened to Wenlan's plan, and his heart was a little settled.

"The third lady won't be bored with herself." What Wen Lan wants to say is that Wanhua will never sue behind her back.

"Okay." Jinhua wiped the tears on her face, and repeatedly confirmed that there was nothing unusual before letting people come in and help her out. It is imperative that she think about how to please her husband so that she can come back to school as soon as possible.
