014: Reach a small goal
The fourth lady, Qin, glanced at her daughter, "Dongli went out by my side, no matter how much you teach a peasant girl, it is more than enough." ”
As the so-called dog beating depends on the owner, Chang San'e asked Dongli for advice, and she is still happy to see it, which shows that Chang San'e has vision.
Xie Yujiao didn't argue with her mother, but Chang San'e scratched her mother's itch this time, which shows that her scheming is much deeper than she imagined, but a person can take the initiative to learn to read and write, in her opinion, it is also meritorious, in general, her views on Chang San'e and others are quite complicated.
"I don't know if she can last a few days, this sea of learning is endless, without perseverance and patience, it can't learn anything."
When Mama Zhong heard the words of the big girl pouring cold water, she just stood aside and smiled and didn't agree, but deep down she didn't think so, where can the master who is high above understand the difficulties of people in the lower class who want to learn?
Don't talk about perseverance and patience, you can't find a way, everything is for nothing, it's like a girl from the Xie family, she has everything in her life.
Then, the Qin family spoke, "Then let's take a look first, by the way, Mama Zhong, I'll send her a set of four treasures in the study later, don't let people say that we are stingy, and even this little thing is harsh." ”
Mama Zhong is busy, and she praises Mrs. for her kindness.
"Okay, don't slap me on the back, let's do it." Qin waved his hand and motioned for Mama Zhong to withdraw, and then looked at her daughter, "Your mother-in-law has already sent someone to invite her twice, I think you will go back in the next two days, so that she will have something to say." ”
Xie Yujiao rolled the handkerchief in her hand, obviously not interested in going back to her mother-in-law's house, but she still understood the truth of the matter, and finally nodded, "I'll let the girl pack up her things." ”
Qin reluctantly touched his daughter's hair, "In a few days, I will find another name for my mother to take you back to live." ”
Xie Yujiao's eyes were slightly red, obviously reluctant to leave her mother.
The mother and daughter said some considerate words, and the old lady Rong sent someone to find Qin's past, and Qin let her daughter go back to pack her things.
Xie Yujiao was not in a very comfortable mood, and she was a little distracted when she was packing up, thinking that her daughter's family would no longer have a home after she got married, and she cried for a while when she thought of the sad place, and then wiped away her tears and repacked her luggage.
Turning her eyes, she saw that there were still books she had read when she was a child on the shelves, she took them out and flipped through them, and there were annotations written in her immature handwriting on them, if only she could go back to her carefree childhood.
She rubbed the book lightly, and suddenly thought that Chang San'e was married and wanted to learn to read, no matter what the motive was, this courage was still commendable, and the literacy of multiple women in this world was much better than that of multiple illiterates.
So, she not only picked out three hundred thousand, but also picked out a few other books suitable for beginners to read, and stuffed them into the hands of the maid on the side, "Send these to Chang San'e, and say that she can read well, and if I have time in the future, I will personally teach her homework." ”
The maid holding a large stack of books couldn't help but be stunned, "Big girl, do you really want to send all of these over?" ”
"If you are told to go, you will go, don't talk nonsense." Xie Yujiao didn't like it when someone questioned her decision.
She just thought that she was a woman, and she was willing to be motivated, so she would help her, and she just hoped that she could persevere, and not give up halfway.
This world has always been harsh on women.
The maid saw that her master was displeased, and immediately did not dare to say more, but after bowing, she withdrew, and hurried to deliver the book.
Chang Xi still practiced calligraphy in the open space in the small cross courtyard, and she also found that Dongli really could only teach literacy, and even the teachings of the Three Character Scripture could not be explained clearly, and sometimes even misinterpreted, she secretly made up for it several times on the side, so that Dongli did not let Dongli take Xiao Tao, a real beginner.
It's just that good things continue to happen today.
First of all, Mama Zhong sent someone to send a set of four treasures of the study, Chang Xi picked them up one by one and looked at them, although they were just ordinary goods, but it was already an unexpected joy for her now, so she smiled and said, "You go back and thank the fourth lady on my behalf, and of course Mama Zhong." ”
For the fourth lady Qin who has never met, she has a good impression now, this fourth lady is much more generous than she imagined, this is the bearing that the housewife should have, and those who are difficult to make small moves in private are actually difficult to get into the hall of elegance.
The mother-in-law sent by Mama Zhong hurriedly smiled and said that she would definitely bring her words, and now this lady is very much treated by her lady, and she will naturally not lose the face of others.
Chang Xi asked Dongli to send people out in person, and the face that should be given is naturally enough.
Xiao Tao saw that people went out, so she came up to see the four treasures of the study, and it was the first time she had grown so big to see these things that only scholars could use.
"Chang Niangzi, I'll polish the ink for you."
Chang Xi didn't stop the excited little peach from exploring, and besides, it was also an elegant thing for someone to add fragrance to his red sleeves.
While the master and servant were talking, Dong Li lifted the curtain again, followed by a maid holding a large stack of books.
Chang Xi put down the brush in her hand, looked directly at the maid holding the book, and guessed in her heart who gave her the book?
It definitely won't be the Fourth Lady Qin Clan, otherwise the people sent by Mama Zhong before would also bring it with them.
Dong Li stepped forward and said to Chang Xi, "Chang Niangzi, this is sent by the eldest girl." ”
Chang Xi squinted slightly, as soon as she talked about the eldest girl in this mansion, she knew who it was, this was Xie Yujiao, the eldest daughter of the Qin family.
Mrs. Xie Rong has four sons, and currently has ten grandsons and three granddaughters.
The eldest granddaughter is Xie Yujiao, born to the Qin family in the fourth room, who is married and married to her aunt and cousin.
The second granddaughter is Xie Yuxue, born to the Jiang family in the third room, who is engaged and is currently away with her parents.
The third granddaughter is the interpreter born to the Qian family in the second room, and it is still waiting to be written.
Since this Xie Yujiao sent her the most precious books, she naturally would not snub her maid, let Xiao Tao take all the books, and then let the maid sit down.
The maid waved her hand and said, "Chang Niangzi, I won't stay longer, my girl will go home tomorrow." ”
Chang Xi sighed a pity, this pity was really from the bottom of her heart, especially after listening to the maid's relay of Xie Yujiao's words, her pity was really overflowing.
This eldest girl of the Xie family is really a good person.
She sighed.
Dong Li echoed, and then picked out the "Three Character Classic" and handed it to Chang Xi, "Chang Niangzi take a look." ”
Chang Xi took it and flipped through it, there are also annotations written by Xie Yujiao when she was a child, which shows how seriously the little girl studied at that time.
Then I looked at the other books, but unfortunately they were all enlightenment books, and there were no legal books, history books, or travelogues that she wanted to read the most, because these were the windows to really understand the world.
Her eyebrows frowned slightly, it seemed that she still had to think about where to get or see this kind of book, as for going out of the house to find it, she didn't have to think about it at this stage, the Xie family would not allow her to enter and exit the gate at will.
When she looked up and talked to Dong Li again, her face was already full of happy smiles, "This has a textbook, and it will be much easier to learn in the future." ”
"That's exactly what I said." Higashi's face was also happy, which was much better than what she had scavenged out of her mind.
Now that she is very close to Chang Xi, she doesn't have so many scruples when she talks.
Chang Xi was instantly full of energy, at least another small goal was achieved.
She devotes her time to studying every day, spending most of the day writing with branches in a small open space, and then spending half a day practicing calligraphy with a brush on paper, which has reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.
The rumors about her in the house gradually increased, and every day there would be people secretly coming to observe her studying, and then secretly pointing fingers, after all, this seemed to them to be an anomaly.
Xiao Tao will drive away a wave every time she finds it, and she is simply annoyed by this kind of person.
"Chang Niangzi, they are all about to watch us like monkeys." On this day, she couldn't help but complain after driving away a few more peeking people.
"Just look at it, and there will be no loss of hairs." Chang Xi disagreed, but it was a pity that he couldn't charge a visit fee, otherwise it would be good to make a small profit.
Dong Liang can be calm, in her opinion, it is mediocre not to attract envy, and there is nothing unpleasant about her generosity.
Xiao Tao said, "There are a lot of rumors about us in the house now. ”
Speaking of this, Chang Xi became interested, stopped gesturing on the ground, and looked at Xiao Tao, "What did you say?" ”
"There are all kinds of things to say, by the way, some people say that Chang Niangzi, you are good at learning to be a fake model." This time, there are all kinds of rumors, and Xiao Tao can't care about it if she wants to.
Chang Xi smiled, "Is it wrong to be studious?" Don't listen to their nonsense. ”
Set up a studious persona, and the benefits will definitely be great.
The Xie family is a family heirloom with poetry and books, so what kind of character is not as good as the word studious in the Xie family, at least when the master of the Xie family mentions her again, he will not think of the identity of the pawn wife for the first time, but the studious Chang Niangzi.
This is invisibly increasing the Xie family's good impression of her, as long as people have a good impression, then the other party can be tolerant of what they do.
So a large part of her crazy learning is also performed for others.
The early summer was almost over, and she finally met the fourth lady, Qin.
