Since the riot that day, from the lady to the maid-in-law in the house, she has respected the training class of Mother Kong, and no one dared to have the slightest contempt; especially Mo Lan, almost caught The tail is a man. After Master Kong's future education, Sheng Hong temporarily defeated her emotions with reason, and slept in Wang's room for half a month, so that Aunt Lin and her daughter were sober and sober. Wang's face was full of spring day by day, and he almost set off firecrackers with joy. To say that Sheng Hong had made up his mind this time, at least he had to show it to Grandma Kong, and he was very determined to refuse any request from Aunt Lin.
When Aunt Lin saw that the situation was not right, she finally came up with her unique trick and asked her son Chang Feng to pass a pair of soft green silk while Sheng Hong was taking the test of teaching. On it, she wrote a sad love poem with gorgeous cinnabar, what? "Mr Chao Chao Si was heartbroken, and Twilight sang blood and tears like rain" and so on, Sheng Hong suddenly felt tender after reading, and one day in the middle of the night he couldn't help but went to see Aunt Lin.
Wang was furious when he knew it, and said: "I'm afraid that my concubine has a culture!"
However, after this time, Sheng Hong also realized that she could not be too indulgent to Aunt Lin, and Aunt Lin was obediently restraining a lot of the limelight. Mo Lan was also honest. In such a good learning atmosphere, Mother Kong After careful guidance for more than half a month, when she went to Changbai County to test the rankings, Mother Kong left. Sheng Hong added a lot of cages to Grandma Kong as a restraint. Grandma Kong left half of them, and all the rest went back: "Half of the people in the soil, with these many things, I thought I was here to rob ."
In the last few days, Wang said in a tactful manner that she hoped that Mother Kong would write a letter to the old friend in Jingzhong, and say a few words for her daughter in the family, which was a condition for Hualan's future days. Unexpectedly, Mother Kong smiled. Declined: "The eldest sister is not going to be a guest. She wants to live in the capital for a long time. She has to create any reputation by herself. If I boasted the eldest sister to the sky, I would like to look back on the Zhongqin House. High is not good."
The translation of this sentence into Martian language is: Don't expect too high, too high will make you disappointed, but a low one will make Hualan shine more easily. I don’t know if Wang understands it, but she can’t hide her disappointment, so Mother Kong added: “The eldest sister is a sign of life. When she has children, she can stand on her heels. If I can still jump. , You can shout for the remaining sisters." Wang thought of Rulan and thanked him with a smile on his face.
After Mother Kong left, the girls went back to their own practice days. The old lady Sheng took Ming Lan back to literacy and school, and added a new homework-Nu Hong, enlightenment master Yu Fang Mother temporarily. Fang's mother was a first-class maid who came to dowry back then, and she was known as the first in charge of the female celebrity of the Houfu. She was always skilled in weaving, sewing, embroidering, shoes and hats, and knitting. But it is more than enough to teach a rookie like Minglan.
According to the two living examples of Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Lin, Mama Fang can see Minglan learn to read a little, and she is very worried that Minglan also only loves poetry and does not like acupuncture, who knows that Minglan is very cooperative from the beginning. , Took up a more enthusiastic attitude than reading and recognizing to learn, Fang's mother was surprised and happy, and immediately took out all the copies to train Ming Lan; so Ming Lan followed Mrs. Sheng to study in the morning, and in the afternoon, she followed Fang's mother to learn red, old The wife watched cheerfully.
First let Minglan practice the needle method on the small cloth head. First, sew the lines, the straight ones should be straight, the round ones should be rounded, and the stitches should be as fine as the tread of a sewing machine, and the spacing should be even and completely consistent. This is the basic skill. Just practicing this was enough to go to Minglan for a month. One month later, Fang's mother picked a bald afternoon for Minglan's exam and barely passed the exam.
Mama Fang is a little strange: "Sister-er is so hard to learn, why is it not as fast and good as you can learn to read as a female student?"
Minglan said silently in her heart: Those who cheated are naturally different from those who started from scratch.
The old lady Sheng is also very strange: "Do you like female celebrities like this? You work harder than studying."
Minglan cried silently: Ghosts like female celebrities! She didn't even play cross stitch before, OK?
Exam-oriented education has a great feature. For example, learning Mathematical piano or painting is to add points, studying hard is to enter XX university, and entering XX university is to find a good job and make a lot of money. It sounds good is to have a clear goal. , The action is straightforward, and it is utilitarian to say that it is ugly; Minglan, who came here as a fight, began to think about a problem after learning the "Thousand Characters".
As a deep boudoir, what's the use of poems, songs, piano, chess and calligraphy? She couldn't eat school because she couldn't pass the imperial examination. Or to gain a reputation as a talented woman among the noble children?
As a prostitute, the old lady Sheng would certainly say: Cultivation of temperament, comfort and nourishment, the canopy of Kyoto is the light of the family.
But Minglan is not a prostitute, and the Sheng family is not a Houfu, she can't get into the top aristocratic social circle.
And Aunt Lin might say: On my road to success, poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting have given me a lot of help.
But Minglan doesn't want to be a little wife either.
Until one time, after Fang's mother casually said that a medium-sized piece of Ruyizhai embroidery could sell for two or three taels of silver, Minglan suddenly found the best direction for her efforts-whether it was a good study or a good financial management They are all likely to be criticized by this society. Only the female celebrity, insurance and safety, can get a good reputation, and in the future, there is a case in which it can be considered a skill.
Ming Lan polished up her thoughts a bit, and answered her grandmother like this: "The female red is real. You can make a warm hat for your grandmother, make shoes for your father, embroider sachets for your mother and sister, and sew veils for your brothers. ."
Ms. Sheng’s moved eyes are hot, she put Minglan in her arms and rubbed her for a long time: "Good boy, it's hard for you!"
Ming Lan was at a loss. Mrs. Sheng's understanding is: Reading can only benefit her, but the female celebrity benefits her family. Granddaughter knows to care for her family at a young age.
In order to increase the fun of learning, Mrs. Sheng drew a few simple plum blossoms to embroider Minglan. Minglan embroidered very hard. Just finished embroidering one and a half flowers, the spring plum blossoms are all over, peach blossoms. When it first bloomed, Mama Fang sighed, and simply added a few strokes to the flower, and let Minglan embroider it into a peach blossom.
"Plum blossoms are different from peach blossoms, how can they be replaced?" Minglan protested in a low voice.
"It's okay, the difference you embroider is not big." Mrs. Sheng comforted her.
Minglan:...
In April, when the peach blossoms are shining, the Beijing Zhongqin Bo’s letter said that Yuan Wenshao will set off to welcome his relatives at the end of the month, count the days, and arrive in Dengzhou within a few days; here, Sheng Hong’s lobby brother Sheng Wei It’s here too; originally Hua Lan’s wedding should have his uncle present, but Wang Yan is now an official, and he cannot leave office casually. Only Sheng Wei is in charge of the business, but he can move freely; this time he brought his second son, Changwu. Let's congratulate him, and when I look back, I will accompany Changbai to send Hualan to the capital.
When Sheng Wei followed Sheng Hong to visit Shou'antang, Ming Lan was sitting on the kang table and reciting the "Lian Shuo": "The flowers of water, land and vegetation are very lovely... Not dyed, clear ripples but not demon, straight from the outside, no vines and no branches, the fragrance is far and clear, the pavilion is pure..." The childish voice, recites aloud, the little girl shakes her head and shakes her head, the naive manner, old lady Sheng Sitting on the kang, listening sideways with a smile, his eyes filled with warm joy.
Sheng Wei's heart moved, and she saw that the old lady Sheng was happy and her complexion was more rosy than when she saw it two years ago, so she looked sideways at Ming Lan, and she saw her with black eyes. , Bright and clear, as soon as she saw her arrival, she immediately climbed down from the kang and stood aside obediently. Seeing that she was so polite and sensible, Sheng Wei liked it very much and became more clear in her heart.
After giving the gift to the old lady Sheng, Sheng Wei smiled and embraced Ming Lan and said: "You are a six-girl, I have seen all of your sisters, but you are the only one. When you come back to your house, you are all sick. , It's good now." He has a square face with Chinese characters, quite a look of wind and frost. He is only a few years older than Sheng Hong, but looks like he is ten years older, but his expression is very kind.
Ming Lan held a pair of chubby little fists, came up to salute, and said hello as if: "The niece is all well, thank you for your care, hello, hello, hello from afar, It's really hard work."
