73, there is still a test
Xiaotang Village is a blue brick house located on the bank of the field, and it is also a five-in-one place.
Helu walked in front and introduced to the master: "The old lady lives in the third place, and the old lady lives in the second place."
This is similar to before. Grandma lives upstairs and grandpa lives downstairs. It’s like the white clouds and black soil in the sketch. It’s not that the relationship is bad, but they are old and retired. They each have their own preferences, so it’s more comfortable to live separately.
The second time I entered the yard, there were a few little girls under ten years old who were cleaning, and they looked like a farmyard. The neatly tidied vegetable beds and the fields were all turned over, and the seedlings planted were still not visible at this moment.
A seven or eight-year-old girl was wearing a blue printed cloth shirt and watering the little seedlings in front of the porch. When she saw the masters, she stood with her hands down.
Xiaoxiao asked her: "What kind of seedling is this?"
The girl hurriedly bowed and said, "Go back to the girl, it's lentils." After thinking about it, she said, "The old man loves to eat braised lentil noodles. Cut the pork belly into thin slices, which is bright."
Xiaoxiao heard her answer interestingly and asked, "What's your name?"
"Little Nu Chunyang, I have met the third wife and the fifth girl." He answered neither humble nor arrogantly, and he was very wise and knew the rules.
Xiaoxiao gave her the flowers in her hand: "Find a small clay pot and put them in. This is the flowers on the edge that I picked for my grandfather."
"Yes, the fifth girl." Chunyang carefully took the bouquet of flowers from the girl and smiled, "The old man really likes these fields of flowers and plants more than those peony and plum blossoms."
He Lu listened aside and sighed unconsciously that the girl was interested: Compared with the old lady, this bouquet of wild flowers in the field can impress the old lady more. Moreover, the old lady is not at home at this moment and has not seen her in person. When she comes back to listen to the children around her, it seems even better. As soon as her granddaughter returns to the Tang family, she thinks to come to the grandfather's yard to see first. Remember to pick flowers for her grandfather, what a good daughter! Although it is just a bouquet of wild flowers, it looks better than seeing her with her own eyes when she describes it.
Xiaoxiao looked at Chunyang and felt that she was generous and clever: "Your blue printed clothes are pretty, but it is better to match a blue black one with red pants. The legs of the pants must be pretty." Turning back to Helu, he said: "I would like to give her money for making pants, and I will pick a pair of silver lilacs for her to wear. Although she is still young, it is not appropriate to wear red lines in her ears and eyes."
Chunyang hurriedly knelt down and thanked.
Helu gave her two hang of money and asked again: "Who is here to pay her respects?"
"Now, only the third girl has just arrived." Chunyang said.
Helu nodded: "She is also close."
The master and servant walked along the veranda of hand-copying, while enjoying the courtyard scenery.
Xiaoxiao wondered: "Don't the third sister from the second room? I remember that Zhubi Pavilion is quite far away from here, how could it be close?" Shu Yan seemed to not act with the others in the second room.
Helu said: "The third girl lives in a single courtyard north of Xiaotang Village. There is a row of single courtyards built in the Peach Blossom Forest, which is specially for the aunts to live there, and even the girls live there." Shu Yan was originally a concubine daughter. Although her biological mother died, since she had her single courtyard, it was difficult to live in Zhubi Hall again. Thinking about the second wife and Zhan Yan, it was better to live in a small courtyard by herself.
Zhanghua listened on the side, and thought to himself that it turned out that the concubines of the Tang family lived in another place, which was better. He always felt that it was very embarrassing to live in the same yard as his wife and aunt. Zhanghua was born to Gu Shanniang Lanxi's mother's family. He saw Mr. Gu, uncle, and aunt Tang. These people did not have any aunts. Life was simple and happy, so the servants only recognized the masters of the wife and the girls. What was the aunt? Half a master and half a slave. If there was a concubine, it would be better to be devastated.
While walking, I thought, I hope that Aunt Tang would not learn from the men here, and would make some concubines come out, and even the servants would be angry. While thinking, I secretly prayed that the wife would become a young master as soon as possible, and that would be perfect.
He Lu smiled and said, "The five rooms have not been separated. Aunt Sun and Miss Eight have always lived in Fenfang Courtyard. The fifth wife lives in the main room. She and Miss Eight live in the west wing, and six or seven girls live in the east wing."
"Their house is really lively. The big house with five entrances is crowded in the yard." Xiaoxiao smiled unconsciously.
"Several girls are not over twelve years old, so they are not in a hurry to live in the yard. Aunt Sun is the fifth wife's accompanying her room. The master and servant have a good relationship and have always lived in the same place." He Lu said.
As the few were talking, they heard a voice: "Fifth sister got up early!"
Looking back, it was Huanyan, wearing a blue plain cloth skirt, still combed with tassel head, and only a snow-white giant conch hairpin was inserted. Huanyan saluted Shanniang: "Aunt San's Day."
Shan Niang smiled slightly: "Is Huan'er wearing a learning skirt?"
"Yes, we advocate simple style in our studies, and we are most taboo to compare."
As he was talking, the second wife Jiang and Zhan Yan also came.
Xiaoxiao greeted the second wife: "Dear your day for the second aunt."
Jiang Shi smiled: "The girls are all wearing learning skirts, and Xiaoxiao's outfit is particularly fresh and pretty."
"My second aunt has been awarded. I'm very envious when I see their learning skirts clean and fresh." Xiaoxiao is telling the truth. Although this learning skirt is not silk, it is very comfortable to see the material. Especially when she wears it, it looks particularly beautiful with her bright appearance. Xiaoxiao praised: "The third sister is wearing it like a lotus in the water."
Zhan Yan smiled and said, "My fifth sister is really good at praising people. It will look even better if you wear it tomorrow."
"There's no hurry. I really need to make up for some lessons before entering school." Xiaoxiao.
Zhan Yan smiled faintly: "No, I always have to take the exam before entering the school, and I have to divide the academic year according to the grades."
Ah, I still have to take the entrance exam...
Zhan Yan was stunned when he saw him and smiled with satisfaction, just to see your panic: "I don't take the exam to recite poems and essays. The female students put that into the poetry club class. We pick up the female students, which is run by a business, so we naturally have to learn some business practices. The "Jiran" and "Biography of Records and Records of the Grand Historian" must be memorized throughout the article. And it is also a girl's academy, so it is naturally indispensable for women to learn the way of managing and managing families and giving. Therefore, in addition to the Four Books, there are also mathematics, science, business, and home-based..."
Xiaoxiao is in a messy way of living up to his trust. What is Jiran's learning? What is Jiran's chapter? "Records of the Grand Historian" only likes to read the chapters he likes. As for business, he just glances at him and then flies over...
Shan Niang patted her hands and smiled: "If you can't get the exam, then follow the elementary school girls who are under the school year."
"That won't work. I'm already tall, standing with the children... makes people laugh." Xiaoxiao.
Huanyan chuckled: "Don't listen to Zhan'er scare you, the exam is all formalities, as long as there are not many things that are not bad, you can always pass."
