Going to school for half a day is very tormenting for people who don't like to read, but for Lishu, it is like a fish in water, in her previous life, because she read more books and read more, and even when she had nothing to do, she took the books left by her great-grandfather Liu Tianye to read, so that she helped King Wusun improve the local chariot, so that she jumped from the ordinary palace people who were not ranked among the concubines of Princess Pingning to the third-ranked concubine.

Because they were in Beijing, they started to learn from "The Biography of the Daughters" and "The Four Books of Women", and the family didn't want them to be talented, but they just read the text and played the yin.

In the second half of the day, she wanted to go back to her yard, because Xiao Fu was afraid of gossip, so she specially bought an embroidery lady as a servant, and she was a housekeeper mother on weekdays, but she actually taught her needlework.

Lishu knew that Xiao Fu's marriage was not rich, and she was also very frugal on weekdays, but she didn't blink her eyes at what she wanted to learn. Like the embroidery girl who bought it, she is worth twenty taels, and Xiao Fu's price is not mentioned.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I went out, I saw people beaming, and Lijia's maid Peony said: "Big girl, our eldest master has been reinstated as the envoy of Beizhen." ”

Many people are happy that their uncle has returned to his official career, but Lishu knows that this "Beizhen Fusi" has its own prison (edict), and can arrest, torture, and execute on its own, without going through the Criminal Department and Dali Temple. And Beizhen Fusi has a lot of business trips, as long as he goes out, the spies are all "Qin Errands". Since the Beizhen Fusi was directly responsible to the Dongchang, and sometimes even crossed the Dongchang and was directly responsible to the emperor, the local officials were respectful and respectful when they saw the Beizhen Fusi, and they were not careless at all, and they were called "Shangcha" or "Qincha".

The Zhenfu envoy is from the fourth grade, and his uncle Liu Chengzong was the first person to test in Huguang Wuju Township, and later won the martial champion, if it wasn't for his grandfather, at least now he is also a commander.

But now that it can be recovered, it means that the turmoil of the Liu family has passed.

This is a strong political signal, and sure enough, when Liwan Lirou was still ignorant, the eldest girl Lijia already knew the difference: "This is really a great thing, my uncle has been promoted to the envoy of Beizhen, and he will definitely rise to the top in the future, and their family is afraid that they will also go to Beijing." In this way, the adults in the family are afraid that they are also going to send congratulatory gifts, so our daughter's family might as well make a few needles and threads to send them to express their hearts. ”

Lishu thinks that Lijia is really a thief, among the sisters, she is the oldest, she is nine years old, Xi Nuhong has been a few years, and she is not a problem to do purse embroidery, much higher than others, Liwan, although she also does it, there is a gap between her and Lijia in terms of female redness.

Not to mention that Lishu and Lirou are only six years old and haven't started learning to hold needles yet! The only one who can stand out among them is the big sister.

It's just that......

Li Shu said in her heart that she knew what she planned for herself at such a young age, why didn't she promise to marry someone at the age of eighteen in her previous life? So much so that when she was going to marry Zheng Hao, outsiders still said that there was a saying called "barley is not yellow and wheat is yellow", that is, her sister was going to get married, and her sister was still waiting for the boudoir.

Of course, Zheng Hao was ten years older than her, and he couldn't wait any longer at that time, he was the champion again, and his father had to marry her in advance for the Zheng family.

Lishu quickly went back and told Xiao Fu the news first, but Xiao Fu looked inexplicable: "I already know that your aunt is the granddaughter of Shoufu, and your mother is the daughter of the clan, and she refused to return to her hometown in Macheng in her early years, and has been in Nanjing." Now I can finally go to Beijing, which is a good thing. ”

"Yes, the eldest sister still wants us to do some needlework and send it over, and my daughter wants to choose a few good lines to send over." Lishu changed the subject.

Xiao Fu nodded with a smile: "This is very good, I used to have guests at home, and most of them met guests with needlework and thread." ”

After Lishu went out, Xiao Fu sighed to Danqing.

Danqing was puzzled: "Madam, now that my sister is obedient, the eldest lord is promoted, and our lord's career will be promoted sooner or later, what else are you unhappy about?" ”

"It's not for this, I only have two Lishu and Shurui under my knees, don't say just the two of them, even ten or eight, and I am not willing to give any of them to others. But I'm afraid that this child will grow up in the future and blame me, blame me for not letting him succeed, and I don't have a ready-made official. "Xiao Fu doesn't want to step his own children.

Danqing thought that this person was really different, Aunt Su dreamed that her sons would pass away, but Xiao Fu didn't want to pass on.

But in the end, whether it is over or not has nothing to do with women, it is the men who have the final say, and the rise and fall of succession is a major matter of the clan.

Of course, it is imperative for Xiao Fu to say: "Lishu, you have to check it, and the needle and thread sent out must have a better meaning." ”

In fact, there is no need for Xiao Fu's orders, Lishu herself is discussing with Hu's mother: "I think Uncle will recover this time, so I want to choose something auspicious." If it's too difficult to have a hundred clouds, I saw that the persimmons were beautiful in color a few days ago, and everything went well, so it was better to do that. ”

Mother Hu smiled: "What Miss said is very true, I will teach you to play these two." ”

Lishu didn't want to spend too much effort on this, she finished playing a pair of persimmon Ruyi's luozi, and chose orange silk silk to follow Hu's mother to play luozi, Hu's mother taught very seriously.

She is forty years old this year, her husband died, her son is not in good health, and she is gone, leaving a little grandson, and her family property was robbed by the clan, so she had to take her grandson to sell herself.

After she finished playing, she began to learn to take needles, although she was reborn, but after becoming the queen mother, she didn't twist needles and threads for a long time, and she was really rusty.

Learning needlework also requires talent, for example, some people do tailoring clothes that look good, and some people do not obey, as the so-called world is insightful and knowledgeable, Lishu first started to learn from threading needles and threads.

Only Xiao Fu knew that his daughter had made it up until midnight because she said a word about the looseness, so she was afraid that she would not admit defeat if she was small, and she would stay up like this, and her body bones would not be good, so when she reached the point, she ordered to listen to the snow silk rain and turn off the lights, and she couldn't wait for a moment.

Xiao Fu heard that the light in Lishu's room was extinguished, so he said to Danhong: "I'll sleep too." ”

Danhong said with a smile: "Speaking of which, slaves and maids often hear that the eldest girl does needlework until the middle of the night, why did you let our girl rest so early." ”

"When children are growing up, they should rest more so that they can study well. The eldest girl has always been Rao's mother, when I was in my mother's house, I was not allowed to talk about poetry and songs, thinking that virtue is a loss, only to be a needle and a female red, and to respect that women are virtuous if they are not talented. Therefore, it is not surprising that she worked needlework. It's just that I don't want Lishu to be like this, when I was a child, I really bowed my head every day as a female celebrity, my neck hurts, and now my arms are sore, and my eyes are not good. On the contrary, Xiao Fu felt that reading was more important.

really became the wife of the housekeeper, and if she wanted to be a housekeeper and go abroad, she didn't have so much effort to be a female celebrity at all.

Sure enough, this time Lijia's female celebrity undoubtedly won the first place.

And Lijia looks like a big sister, and she also teaches Lirou to do needlework, and treats her subordinates generously, not competitive, and was praised by Aunt Ding in front of Liu Chengxu a few times.

Then there is the course selection director, the old gentleman has been a teacher for many years, so all according to the private school teaching method.

There are four sisters and a section leader must be elected.

Sometimes, Lishu thinks that where there are people, there will be fights, but she is still young, and she is not qualified to be the section leader, even if she has memorized the entire "Thousand Character Text", Lijia has studied it once in the women's school before, and it is not as smooth as Lishu's back.

Despite this, Lishu felt that it must be Lijia who was chosen now.

She also said to Xiao Fu: "Mother, I don't think I can be chosen." ”

"Why?" Xiao Fu knows that this kind of section leader is nothing to adults, but it is very important to children.

Lishu said: "Because the eldest sister is more popular than me, she is the eldest sister, and I am the younger sister, that is, my homework is really better than her, and everyone thinks it is a fluke." Mother, the book of "Book of Songs" you gave me, I took a look at it in my spare time yesterday, and the eldest sister said that these can't be done, it is not read by the girl's family, and it will bring us bad. ”

Xiao Fu raised his eyebrows: "This "Book of Songs" reader has to take the scientific examination, in fact, in addition to the thoughts of men and women, there are also wars and conscriptions, harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes of the people at the bottom, ancestor worship and banquets, and even celestial phenomena, landforms, etc., don't listen to these, this big girl is so young and so Taoist. ”

In fact, Lishu knows that Lijia is not a Taoist, but they are born to dislike restless people, for example, she thinks that slaves and maids have to have no own opinions, they should obey Miss, subordinates can't have thoughts, and their daughter's family can't have any excesses, so they should follow three virtues and four virtues.

"Mother, you are still in confinement, and your daughter will go out first." Lishu didn't want to talk too much to Xiao Fu, which annoyed her.

Xiao Fu said with a smile: "Don't be busy leaving, your father said that your grandmother and aunt went to Beijing, and he went to let the steward do Cheng Yi, knowing that you are very good at studying, he specially bought a jade cicada for you." ”

"Really?" Lishu was happy at first, and then shook her head: "Isn't it bad that there are only mine, no sisters?" "The most taboo in this world is not to suffer from widowhood but to suffer from inequality.

Xiao Fu touched her head: "It's really sensible, but the girl's family can't be too sensible." If they want, let them endorse like you as soon as possible. The jade cicada is worn on the body, which means noble meaning, the mother has already let people do it with the yarn, you wear it on the body, your father must be happy to see it. ”

Lishu touched this jade cicada, small and exquisite, with delicate lines, and warm tentacles, she really liked it very much, and her mother persuaded her to accept it.

Before the section leader started the competition, the grandmother sent by the Chi family came, and this grandmother came over and really caused some sensation. It's not that she wears gold and silver, calls slaves and maids, but she has an awe-inspiring bearing, walking, sitting and lying differently, and her demeanor is extremely dignified.

Lishu never thought that this jade cicada did not cause a storm, but the grandmother from the palace caused a turmoil between the sisters.
