"The nobles of the family should be respectful and courteous, and dabble in elegant arts."

"The Hou Mansion invited a female teacher for the two young ladies, just to teach these things, so as to prevent the young ladies from making mistakes and making jokes at the banquet of the nobles in the future."

Listening to Yuxuan, the old lady specially sent a personal apricot mama to guide the lecture.

The sky was still bright, Shen Qisu was sleepy-eyed, standing listlessly and listening, but there was no reaction.

However, Cha Jiu has washed his face with cold water and has awakened, and his makeup and clothes are neat and tidy, which is impeccable.

Mama Xing secretly wrote it down and thought about it.

The place of study was in Zhilan Garden, and when Cha Jiu came out of the courtyard, he happened to meet Ning Changting, who was preparing to go to court.

Ning Changting was dressed in a crimson court dress, with a golden leather belt around his waist, his hair was neatly tied and meticulous, and his whole face was cold and unapproachable.

Cha Jiu saluted and smiled at him: "Brother Changting, good morning." ”

Ning Changting stopped and returned the salute slightly.

For the first time in a long time, he had heard this sister-in-law who was not close to him say goodbye.

Shen Qisu was a little reluctant, so he had to follow Cha Jiu to say goodbye.

Who knew that her body hadn't been blessed yet, Ning Changting turned around and left.

It's as if I didn't see her at all.

I don't care if she says goodbye or not.

Shen Qisu was embarrassed at the moment, so he had to whisper to his sister and complain secretly: "Good manners, what kind of courtesy do you do." ”

Cha Jiu was stunned for a moment and said, "When you see the elders in the family, you have to salute, and your father and brother have to greet you when you go to court, isn't this all etiquette?" ”

Shen Qisu scolded her: "Pedantic! Where should there be so much red tape in a family? Home should be casual and friendly, not overwhelmed by a bunch of useless rules. ”

Cha Jiu was speechless, and for a while, he didn't know whether this sister was so-called frank or stupid.

She reminded her euphemistically: "Sister, we are in the Hou Mansion, we should follow the rules of the Hou Mansion, instead of criticizing others for following the century-old ancestral rules." ”

Shen Qisu sighed, and felt that he was playing the piano to the cow: "Forget it, you don't understand it, in my opinion, these rules are just the family in order to distinguish themselves from the commoners, and they are just self-conscious." ”

Cha Jiu looked at Mama Xing who was walking in front and made a silent gesture to her sister.

Shen Qisu thought he was speaking quietly.

In fact, the conversation between the two, Mama Xing listened to it word for word.

Her impression of Shen Qisu in her heart was even worse.

The Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion is a century-old Qingliu family, and the rules of the family's children and daughters, even if they are taken to Quanshengjing, they are praised by everyone.

How did it get to Shen Qisu's mouth, just to pretend to be a high flower shelf?

Even if such a person really becomes the young lady of the Hou Mansion in the future, can he take care of the Hou Mansion well?

Mama Xing shook her head slightly.

The female teacher who teaches etiquette has been waiting at Zhilan Garden early, and today's topic is to learn flower arrangement.

"The matching between flowers and flowers is also a science, and it is recorded in the book that flowers have envoys, just like palaces have concubines and imperial ......"

The female teacher poured out her money to teach, but Shen Qisu's eyelids were heavy when she heard it, and she dozed off.

On the contrary, Cha Jiu listened with great interest.

On weekdays, the task of doing the world of the main god is to go in and out of the sword and sword, and there are few such poetic and quiet moments.

The knowledge of flower arrangement, she is still in contact with it for the first time.

Thinking of Ning Changting, who was like a stuffy gourd, Cha Jiu suddenly blessed his soul.

"Teacher, if you are a flower arrangement for a man, what theme should you use and what should you do with it?" Cha Jiu asked.

The female teacher was surprised.

She also thought that this Miss Yanshu was just listening casually and dealing with things.

I didn't expect to really listen to the lecture seriously.

The female teacher was a little happy, and she explained more diligently.

"The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, you can pick some seasonal flowers, such as daylilies, hollyhocks, dragon boat flowers, etc., choose any five kinds to arrange flowers. We call it Wurui flower, which has the meaning of driving away evil and avoiding poison. ”

Cha Jiu stroked his palms and chuckled: "Very good, then I'll try these five Ruihua." ”

After that, she carefully selected five kinds of flowers and plants and thought about how to match them.

Shen Qisu woke up once halfway and felt really bored.

Seeing that the female teacher left the table for a short time, she hurriedly ventilated with Cha Jiu: "I'll go out first, if the female teacher and grandma ask, you will say that I have a stomachache and go to the toilet." ”

Cha Jiu is concentrating on fiddling with flowers and plants, where can she take care of her?

She didn't hear it.

Shen Qisu secretly left Zhilan Garden and went out to find someone over the wall.

The man said that he would wait for her in the back alley of Lanxiang Building today, and take her to visit the Purple and Red Pavilion, which he had never seen before.

When the female teacher returned, she frowned when she saw the empty seat.

"Miss Yanshu, where is your sister?"

"Huh?" Cha Jiu poked his head out from behind the flowers and plants blankly, "I don't know." ”

The female teacher sighed, that's it.

She can't control the young lady of the Hou Mansion.

However, when she noticed the vase of flower arrangement in front of Cha Jiu, her eyes lit up: "You did it alone?" ”

Cha Jiu nodded, she could see that the female teacher admired this vase of flower arrangement.

She loved it herself.

Five kinds of flowers, such as hollyhock, pomegranate and calamus, complement each other in the moire vase.

Not only that, Chajiu also hangs delicate and small tiger charm sachets on pomegranate branches, which means to ward off evil spirits.

The female teacher praised: "Wonderful, presumably the boy who received this Wurui flower will definitely praise your ingenuity." ”

……

Ning Changting returned to the Hou Mansion from the palace, and it was already afternoon.

He was carrying a food box in his hand, and Yong'an, the little guy behind him, was also carrying two boxes in each hand.

The subordinates of the Hou Mansion just wanted to take the food box in his hand, but he refused.

Back at Qingfeng Garden, Ning Changting instructed Yong'an to send these boxes of pastries to the old lady's Songhe Hall, Mrs. Ning Hou's Yun Ruixuan, and Shen Qisu's room.

These are freshly made limited edition pastries from Zhenwei Pavilion, and it is difficult to buy them in long queues on weekdays.

I happened to catch up today, so Ning Changting also bought some.

Yongan pointed to the share that Ning Changting was carrying in his hand alone: "Then who is this for?" ”

Ning Changting put down the food box and said lightly: "This one will be sent to Miss Yanshu." ”

Yong'an felt a little strange in his heart, but he couldn't say it.

Ning Changting walked into the study and noticed the Wurui flower on the desk at a glance.

"Where did this come from?"

Ning Changting frowned, he had never liked others to fiddle with his study at will.

Yongshou, who has been cleaning in Qingfeng Garden, was a little apprehensive: "This is specially sent by Miss Yanshu, saying that the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and it can be used to drive away evil spirits and avoid poison." ”

Shizi won't blame him for putting things casually, right?

So Yongshou hurriedly said: "Shizi, why don't I take it out." ”

"No need."

Ning Changting approached, and a faint bitter smell wafted in, which made his heart feel a little calmer because of his irritability because of business recently.

The pomegranate branch on it also has a cute tiger charm sachet hanging from it.

He reached out and touched it gently, revealing a small corner of white paper in the sachet binding.

Ning Changting was stunned for a moment, untied the sachet, and pulled out the note inside.

The hairpin on it reads-

"Yuan has Zhixi, Li has Lan."

Yongan looked at it curiously: "Hey, there is a small note in it?" What's the blue? What does that mean? ”

Only three of the six words are recognized.

Ning Changting closed the note and put it in his palm, his expression complicated.

Yuan has Zhixi and Lan, and the next sentence is "Si Gongzi Xi did not dare to speak".

Shen Yanshu likes him.

But don't you dare to speak?

She can generously admit to Shen Qisu in the ancestral hall, but in the face of him, she will never show any transgressive emotions.

In the past, she didn't say a word, and she didn't dare to look at him more.

In the past, he only thought that this righteous sister was introverted.

Now that I think about it, it's because she quietly likes him.

"Yong'an, give me the food box."

Ning Changting changed his mind, and he wanted to deliver this pastry in person.
