Fu Yuchen followed the six princes to the countryside to recruit troops, and Gong Xue had nothing to do with Fu Xuechen.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, until the July Beggar's Day and the Ghost Festival, there was no lively festival for a long time, and the Labor Day and Children's Day in later generations were not to be thought about in this time and space, and there was no at all.

So, Xie invited three female gentlemen to Fu Xuechen respectively, and officially started the private training course for noble girls, these three female gentlemen, the first surname is Zhou, the full name is Zhou Xiang, is the number one embroidery girl in Beijing, responsible for teaching Fu Xuechen female red, the second surname Zhu, full name Zhu Jiuniang, responsible for teaching Fu Xuechen calligraphy and painting.

The last surname is Liu, the stage name is Liu Xufei, who is responsible for teaching Fu Xuechen Guzheng, but not limited to Guzheng, but all music-related courses including Guzheng.

In addition to Zhou Xiang from the Weaving Mansion Embroidery Workshop, Zhu Jiuniang and Liu Wufei are both from the Teaching Workshop Division, but Liu Xufei is a newly launched Qing Qier from the Teaching Workshop Division, and he is not the kind of person who sells his art, because his master is the Yan family and is famous, and Zhu Jiuniang is the master who assists Si Le in teaching all the artists in the Division of calligraphy and painting skills.

Among the three, Liu Xunfei is the youngest and has the most beautiful face, she is only seventeen years old, Zhou Xiang is second, twenty-five or sixteen years old, her appearance can only be said to be delicate, and Zhu Jiuniang is almost forty years old, but she still retains a unique charm.

Zhu Jiuniang's calligraphy and painting class was arranged in the first half of the morning, and the class lasted for one hour, that is, two hours, which was equivalent to half past seven to half past nine in the morning in later generations, followed by the female red class, from half past nine to half past eleven, and the guzheng class was from two to four o'clock in the afternoon, and the class time was all one hour.

This kind of course arrangement of ancient nobles made Fu Xuechen feel that the interest class in later generations had become the main subject, there was no language, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry, biology, politics and history, and there were no professional courses in the university, which was as easy as playing.

The location of the class is in the side hall room on the first floor of Qingtong Courtyard, where the lighting is very good, the surroundings are transparent, the facilities are complete, there are embroidery frames, there are also four treasures and bookshelves in the study, Xie Shi prepared a guzheng for her early.

There are only two daughters in the Fu family, Fu Rushuang and Fu Xuechen, and there are no relatives in Beijing, otherwise there are many girls of similar age in some families, and sometimes there are as many as six or seven girls in the same class.

That's right! Fu Rushuang also came, but she mainly came to the calligraphy class and the female red class, and she didn't participate in painting and music, so in order to take care of her time arrangement, Zhu Jiuniang would take the painting class first in the first half of the class, and the calligraphy class in the second half of the class, as for the guzheng class in the afternoon, Fu Rushuang would not come at all.

Zhu Jiuniang stepped into Qingtong Courtyard under the leadership of the eldest girl Furong, Fu Xuechen and Fu Rushuang were already waiting at the door of the hall, and when they saw each other, they made a blessing ceremony together: "I've seen Mr. Zhu!" ”

Zhu Jiuniang also hurriedly returned the salute: "The two girls are exempt!" ”

After the routine greeting, the three of them entered the classroom, Fu Rushuang and Fu Xuechen both returned to their seats and sat down, and Zhu Jiuniang stood behind a large desk opposite the two.

There is no lectern or blackboard, but there is a wooden stand with wooden boards placed at an angle on the shelf, and the board is covered with large rice paper, which looks very much like an easel in the art room of later generations.

"In the first half of today, I will first tell the two girls about the difference between painting and calligraphy, as well as several commonly used pen movement techniques......

Zhu Jiuniang is a woman with sharp eyes, but there seems to be a smile on her lips forever, which dilutes the serious aura on her body, giving people a strange feeling that is not easy to speak, but makes people willing to accept her spur.

Fu Xuechen had a wide range of hobbies when he was a child, and he also attended painting interest classes, but in later middle schools and before, painting interest classes mostly started with stick figures, teaching children painting knowledge, until watercolor painting, if you don't apply for special courses, you can't learn traditional Chinese painting.

Therefore, the Chinese painting techniques taught by Zhu Jiuniang are still relatively new and interesting to Fu Xuechen.

Fu Rushuang came over early this morning, even listening to the painting class, because of the first lesson between teachers and students, she came to express her respect for Mr., and she would not come so early later.

Fu Xuechen found that Fu Rushuang really has no talent for painting, although she listened carefully to the class, and also followed Zhu Jiuniang's demonstration to learn to move the pen, but the lines drawn will always shake, people demonstrate to paint the flower handle of the lotus, slightly arc but smooth throughout, she painted it like the branch of the plum blossom, deep plum branch deformity and curvature.

People demonstrate painting lotus petals, the ink is full of changes, Fu Rushuang painted but all pasted into a lump, this petal is black, the petals are faint, the shape of the whole flower is even more beautiful, as if it has been ravaged as ugly.

Fu Xuechen is different, she studied when she was a child, and she has the foundation of watercolor painting in her previous life, and there is no obstacle to transferring to Chinese painting, and she soon imitated the example drawings drawn by Zhu Jiuniang, and she seemed to draw qualified ink lotus.

After handing in the drawing, today's drawing class is over, exactly half an hour has passed.

Fu Rushuang didn't dare to hand in her homework, anyway, she was here to accompany her sister, it didn't matter, Zhu Jiuniang didn't care about her, but after seeing Fu Xuechen's paintings, she showed a surprised look.

"I didn't expect Miss Xuechen to have such a talent for painting! More spiritual than many people! ”

Zhu Jiuniang looked at Fu Xuechen, her eyes softened a lot, the smile on her lips deepened, the whole person instantly became kind, and her words were full of appreciation: "Painting is also one of the foundations of embroidery, you can paint beautiful paintings, your embroidery is half of the success, I hope to keep it up!" ”

Painting is the basis of embroidery? No way? Ancient women learned painting just to embroider and look good? Fu Xuechen was quite speechless, this was really a cause and effect relationship that she had never thought of, but Zhu Jiuniang praised her, and she was still very happy to hear it.

After a short break, the next step was the calligraphy lesson.

Zhu Jiuniang began by saying: "As a woman, you will marry and have children in the future, literacy can make you understand the account book, not be fooled by the subordinates, can write beautiful words, and can make people feel that you are knowledgeable and courteous and beautiful in the daily exchange of gift lists, posts and letters." ”

"Not to mention this, the most important thing is that when you are a mother, your children will be the first to receive your teachings, the deeper your writing skills, the better the education you can bring to your children, and your beautiful calligraphy skills will have the most direct impact on your children......

Fu Xuechen didn't know if what Zhu Jiuniang said was her personal family words, or the most common requirement of people in this time and space for women, as if the ultimate goal of women's learning was to educate the next generation.

She doesn't fully agree with this concept in her heart, in fact, in addition to the responsibility of raising children, women in this era are at most some achievements in business, I heard that there are many workshops or shops in charge of women in the world, and the best of them can make a lot of business and make a lot of money.

Even in the homes of poor people, there are women engaged in textiles, embroidery, tailoring, cooking, medicine and other industries, in fact, they are all a kind of business, and even worse, there are only service industries in various buildings.

In other industries, it is difficult to see women, the army, the court, the yamen, and the academy are all closed to women, and the technical occupations that require heavy physical strength, such as transportation, mining, casting, fishing and hunting, are also extinct.

Fu Xuechen felt that the core of the equality between men and women in later generations was mainly to give women a chance to choose to enter all industries and compete with men, proving that women may not be inferior to men, but in fact, most women do have congenital disadvantages in many industries, which can be seen from the fact that women are still very few in many fields in later generations.

Equality between men and women benefits the country the most, almost doubling the number of strong workers, at the cost of a shrinking fertility rate, and the population is declining in an indelible trend.

For most women, working with men actually loses a lot of time to have children and teach children while enjoying the same salary.

When they put themselves on the scales on an equal footing with men, they are not allowed to discard women's traditional vocations, and many women do not realize that the burden on them is getting heavier.

To make matters worse, almost all employers do not take special care of women, and invisible discrimination can be seen everywhere in work and life.

It's not as good as women in this time and space, no one stipulates that they must have the same schedule as men, they stay at home and let men take care of the family, but it is considered normal by society.

As for discrimination, in fact, it exists in any time and place, in any era, with different details and different types.

For example, if they are also doing business or managing a shop, as long as women have the ability, their lives are freer than those of female white-collar workers and female bosses in later generations, and they are busy if they are willing to be busy, and they will go home if they want to go home to have children and raise children.

From the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the Three Kingdoms of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and then to the present, the current Chinese traditional culture in this time and space has not been affected and infected by Western culture.

Fu Xuechen can't help but think: If the Chinese civilization is allowed to develop peacefully like this, I wonder if it can evolve into a relatively more advanced civilization that respects traditional culture?

Zhu Jiuniang will come up with suitable poems or beautiful essays, read through and paraphrase them to the two sisters first, and then let the two sisters choose their favorite calligraphy posts to copy and write.

She has collected and personally copied and produced a lot of various calligraphy posts, and there are five or six kinds of calligraphy that can be provided, all of which are very suitable for women to use beautiful calligraphy, and her calligraphy appreciation ability is also very high, and it is worth boasting about being able to learn her favorite calligraphy fonts under her guidance.

The calligraphy class also ended, Zhu Jiuniang said goodbye, and Mr. Zhou Xiang, who was going to teach Nu Hong, had also arrived at Qingtong Courtyard in advance under the guidance of the big girl Furong, and drank tea in the main hall.

greeted each other with the newcomer Mr. Zhou Xiang, and re-entered the classroom where things had been packed up, leaving only tools such as needlework, embroidery, and bandages, and the two sisters of the Fu family began the female red class.

Embroidery Zhou Xiang and Zhu Jiuniang are very different types, her image is delicate and simple, she is the most common type of virtuous housewife in ordinary people's homes, and even the tone of her speech is full of patience and gentleness, which makes people feel good.

Before she formally taught, the first thing she did was to carefully inquire and understand the current level of female celebrities of the two sisters, Fu Rushuang has learned to weave, sew, sewing, sewing, tying, buttoning and other basic female red, what she needs to learn is cutting and embroidery, cutting new clothes, and then embroidering clothes with a variety of delicate patterns.

Fu Xuechen can only pick the hem of the trousers and stitches, this is still the skill she was forced to learn when she left home and lived in school in her previous life, the handiwork is so rough that there is no beauty, this is no way, except for the loose buttons and the broken clothes other than the threads, basically no one will repair them in later generations, they are all thrown away or donated, and then buy new ones back.

But in this era, all needlework women have to learn to do it, including noble women, although they can leave these jobs to their subordinates to do, but there are unforeseen circumstances, no one knows when they will lose their rich noble life, and then it will be too late to go back and learn these skills.

Therefore, they can learn not to do the skills of textile tailoring and needlework, but they must be able to do them.

Zhou Xiang figured out the details of the two sisters, so he gave Fu Rushuang a simple orchid grass pattern, asked her to draw it on the embroidery bandage, and then embroidered it, and then sat next to Fu Xuechen, and taught her several stitching methods including seams, so that she could practice on a small rag until she was familiar with it.

Fu Xuechen was just not taught in her previous life, but now there is a famous teacher by her side to patiently guide her, she quickly learned this method of manual stitching, and under Zhou Xiang's satisfied and appreciative gaze, she completed the study in the first half an hour.

After mastering the most basic suturing method, Fu Xuechen began to learn to tie the knots in the second half of the hour - in fact, it is the braiding of various Chinese knots, and the silk is coiled into a beautiful pendant or a small bag where things can be placed.

There are a lot of knots for this network! If you want to master all the tricks, you can't do it in a few months, your brain is not active, you are easy to learn the new and forget the old, you may not be able to master how many knots in those years, you must do it for many years, in order to remember many tricks, in order to remember it firmly.

Zhou Xiang started from the simplest flat knot teaching, and it took half an hour for Fu Xuechen to barely learn the most basic one-way flat knot, two-way flat knot, cross knot, diamond knot and finch head knot.

There are more and more complex knotting patterns in the back, it is said that there can be nearly a hundred kinds, and there are dozens of commonly used ones, and different knots also represent different meanings, these alone are enough for Fu Xuechen to study for more than half a year.

This is pure handicraft work, even in later generations, it cannot be replaced by machines, Fu Xuechen is sure that he has learned this craft, and he can rely on it to make money to support himself when he returns to the next generation.
