Chapter 115 The Private Tutorial Class of the Prestigious Girl

Fu Yuchen followed the sixth prince to recruit soldiers in the countryside, and Gong Xue had nothing to do with Fu Xuechen. The book shop had just inspected the book shop, and the teacher was busy creating. Every time he wrote a book, he handed it over to the book shop for printing. It was very worry-free to follow the steps.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, until July’s Beggar Festival and Ghost Festival, there were no lively festivals for a long time. There were Labor Days in later generations, and Children’s Day was not even thought about in this time and space, and there was no such thing as the Labor Day in later generations.

So, Xie invited three female gentlemen to Fu Xuechen and officially started the private training course for noble women. The first female gentlemen, the first female gentlemen, was named Zhou Xiang, and was the most famous embroidered girl in Beijing. She was responsible for teaching Fu Xuechen's girl Hong, the second female gentlemen, Zhu, and Zhu Jiuniang, the full name was Zhu. She was responsible for teaching Fu Xuechen's calligraphy and painting.

The last one, whose surname is Liu, is Liu Xufei, is responsible for teaching Fu Xuechen's Guzheng, but it is not limited to Guzheng, but also includes all music-related courses including Guzheng. Liu Xufei's master is the famous Guzheng master Yan.

Except for Zhou Xiang who comes from the Weaving Mansion Embroidery Floor, Zhu Jiuniang and Liu Xufei both come from the Jiaofangsi. However, Liu Xufei is a newly launched Qing Gunner of Jiaofangsi. He is not a man of the arts and body. He is famous because his master is Yan Jiaofangsi. Zhu Jiuniang is the master who assists Si Le in teaching all the artists in the Sizhong calligraphy and painting skills.

Among the three, Liu Xufei is the youngest and has the most beautiful face. She is only seventeen years old, followed by Zhou Xiang, and is twenty-five or six years old. She can only be said to be pretty, while Zhu Jiuniang is almost forty, but she still retains her unique charm.

Zhu Jiuniang's calligraphy and painting class was arranged for half an morning in the first half of the morning, which was one hour, that is, two hours, which was equivalent to the later generations from 7:30 to 9:30 in the morning, and the next one was the girl's red class, from 9:30 to 1:30, and the guzheng class was from 2:00 to 4:00 in the afternoon, and the class was all one hour.

This course arrangement of ancient noble ladies made Fu Xuechen feel that the interest classes in later generations became the main subject. There was no Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry, politics, history, geography, and professional courses in college, which were as easy as playing.

The class was held in the side hall on the first floor of Qingtongyuan. The lighting here is very good, the surroundings are transparent, and the facilities are complete. There are embroidery racks, four treasures of the study and bookshelf. Xie even prepared a guzheng for her early.

In the Fu family, there are only two daughters of Fu Rushuang and Fu Xuechen, and there are no relatives in the capital. Otherwise, there are many girls of similar age, and sometimes as many as six or seven girls attend classes together.

That's right! Fu Rushuang is here, but she mainly comes to calligraphy classes and Nu Hong classes. She doesn't participate in painting and music. Therefore, in order to take care of her schedule, Zhu Jiuniang will take painting classes for the first half of the class and calligraphy classes for the second half of the class. As for the guzheng class in the afternoon, Fu Rushuang will not come at all.

Zhu Jiuniang stepped into Qingtong Courtyard under the leadership of the eldest maid Furong. Fu Xuechen and Fu Rushuang were already waiting at the door of the hall. When they saw each other, they gave each other a blessing: "I have met Mr. Zhu!"

Zhu Jiuniang also quickly replied: "Two girls are exempt from gifts!"

After the routine greetings, all three of them entered the classroom. Fu Rushuang and Fu Xuechen both returned to their seats to sit, while Zhu Jiuniang stood behind a large desk opposite the two.

There is no podium or blackboard, but there is a wooden bracket with tilted wooden boards on it, and the board is covered with large rice paper with four-open spaces. The whole thing looks very similar to the easel in the art room of later generations.

"In the first half of today, I will first tell the two girls about the differences between painting and calligraphy brushwork, as well as several common brushwork techniques..."

Zhu Jiuniang is a woman with sharp eyes, but there seems to be a smile on her lips forever, which dilutes the seriousness of her body, giving people a strange feeling that is not easy to talk to, but also makes people willing to accept her encouragement.

Fu Xuechen had a wide range of hobbies when he was young and also attended the painting interest class. However, in later middle schools and previous painting interest classes, they often started with simple drawings and taught children's painting knowledge. Until watercolor painting, if they did not apply for special courses, they would not be able to learn traditional Chinese painting.

Therefore, the Chinese painting techniques taught by Zhu Jiuniang are quite fresh and interesting to Fu Xuechen.

Fu Rushuang came here early this morning and even listened to the painting class. Because of the first lesson between teachers and students, she came to express her respect for her husband. She would not have come so early in the future.

Fu Xuechen discovered that Fu Rushuang really had no talent for painting. Although she listened carefully and learned to use her pen with Zhu Jiuniang's demonstration, the lines she drew would always shake. The stem of the lotus flower was slightly curved but smooth. She drew it like the branches of plum blossoms, which were deeply varied from the branches of plum blossoms.

People demonstrated the painting of lotus petals, and the ink and wash are very varied, but Fu Rushuang painted them all into a lump. This petal became black, the petal became lighter again, and the shape of the whole flower was even more beautiful, as ugly as if it had been ravaged.

Fu Xuechen is different. She learned it when she was a child. At least she had the foundation of watercolor painting in her previous life. There was no obstacle to transferring to Chinese painting. She quickly imitated the examples drawn by Zhu Jiuniang and drew qualified ink lotus flowers in a similar way.

After handing over the drawings, today's painting class ended, and half an hour passed.

Fu Rushuang didn't dare to hand in her homework. Anyway, she came to accompany her sister, so it didn't matter. Zhu Jiuniang didn't care about her, but after seeing Fu Xuechen's paintings, she showed a look of surprise.

"I didn't expect that Miss Xuechen has such talent in painting! She has spirituality than many people!"

Zhu Jiuniang looked at Fu Xuechen with her eyes softer, and her smile on her lips became deeper. She instantly became kind and showed her appreciation in her words: "Painting is also one of the foundations of embroidery. If you can draw beautiful paintings, your embroidery will be half successful innately. I hope you will continue to sharpen it!"

Painting is the basis of embroidery? No? In ancient times, women learned to paint to make the most of the beautiful embroidery? Fu Xuechen was speechless. This was a causal relationship she had never thought of. However, Zhu Jiuniang praised her, and she was still very happy to hear it.

After a short break, the next step was calligraphy class.

Zhu Jiuniang started the article and said: "As a woman, she will definitely get married and have children in the future. Literacy will allow you to understand the account book and not be fooled by her servants. She can write beautiful words and make people feel your kindness and a lady in her daily gift list, posts and letters."

"I won't talk about these. The most important thing is that when you are mothers, your children will first accept your teachings. The deeper your writing skills you master, the better the education you can bring to your children. Your beautiful calligraphy techniques will bring to your children the most direct impact..."

Fu Xuechen didn't know whether what Zhu Jiuniang said was her personal opinion or the most common requirement for women in this time and space, making it seem like the ultimate goal of women to learn is to educate the next generation.

She did not fully agree with this concept. In fact, in addition to taking on the responsibility of raising children, women in this era have made some achievements in business at most. I heard that there are many workshops or shops in charge of women in the world. The best of them can do a lot of business and make a lot of money.

Even for poor people's families, there are women engaged in textiles, embroidery, tailoring, cooking, medicine and other industries. In fact, they are all commercial. The worst is the service industry in various buildings.

In other industries, it is difficult to see women. The army, courts, yamen, and colleges are not open to women. The technical professions that require heavy physical strength are also extinct.

Fu Xuechen felt that the core of the gender equality mentioned in later generations was to give women a chance to choose to enter all industries to compete with men, proving that women may not be inferior to men. But in fact, most women do have innate disadvantages in many industries, which is rare in many fields in later generations.

The most benefit of equality between men and women is the country, which is equivalent to almost double the strength of labor, and the cost is the gradually shrinking fertility rate, and the population is decreasing with an irreversible trend.

For most women, working with men, while enjoying the same salary, they lose a lot of time to have children and teach their children.

When weighing themselves on a scale that is equal to men, they are not allowed to abandon their traditional duties as women. Many women do not realize that the burden on them is getting heavier.

What’s worse is that basically all employers will not take special care of women. In work and life, invisible and non-invisible discrimination can be seen everywhere.

It is not as good as women in this time and space. No one stipulates that they must have the same routine as men. They stay at home and let men be responsible for supporting their families, but they are considered normal by society.

As for discrimination, in fact, there are any time and space, and there are different details and types.

For example, when doing business or managing shops, as long as women have the ability, their lives are more free than those of female white-collar workers and female bosses in later generations. If you are willing to be busy, you will be busy. If you want to go home and have children, you will go home. No one will talk about them about going home to be full-time women, despising them for not making money, and they will only think that this is normal.

From the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the Qin, Han and Three Kingdoms, and now, the current Chinese traditional culture in this time and space has not yet been impacted or infected by Western culture.

Fu Xuechen couldn't help but think: If the Chinese civilization was allowed to develop peacefully, I wonder if it could evolve into a civilization that respects traditional culture and is relatively more advanced?

The calligraphy class mainly depends on one's own practice. Zhu Jiuniang will take out appropriate poems or beautiful lyrics, first read them through and interpret them for the two sisters, and then let the two sisters choose their favorite related calligraphy posts to copy and write.

She has collected and copied and produced quite a lot of calligraphy works, and there are five or six types of calligraphy that can be provided, all of which are beautiful calligraphy that are very suitable for women. Her calligraphy appreciation ability is also very high. Being able to learn the calligraphy fonts she likes under her guidance is something that noble girls are bragging about.

The calligraphy class was over, and Zhu Jiuniang said goodbye. Mr. Zhou Xiang, who would teach Nu Hong, had already arrived at Qingtongyuan in advance under the guidance of the eldest maid Furong, and had a tea in the main hall.

He greeted each other with the new Mr. Zhou Xiang, and re-entered the classroom where the things were packed and only the needlework and embroidery and other tools were left. The two sisters of the Fu family started the Nu Hong course.

The embroiderer Zhou Xiang and Zhu Jiuniang are very different types. Her image is pretty and simple. She is the most common type of virtuous housewives in ordinary people's homes. Even her tone is full of patience and gentleness, which makes people feel good.

The first thing she did before the formal lecture was to carefully inquire and understand the current level of female red in the two sisters. Fu Rushuang has learned basic female red in textile, sewing, edge locking, tweezing, buttoning, etc. What she needs to learn is cutting and embroidery, cut out new clothes, and then embroider the clothes with various exquisite patterns.

Fu Xuechen only knows how to pick trousers and stitches. This is the skill she was forced to learn when she left home and lived in school in her previous life. The handicrafts were so rough that there was no beauty. There was no way. Except for loose buttons and damaged clothes, the clothes that were removed from the thread, were basically no one in the future. They were thrown away or donated, and then bought a new one.

But in this era, all the needlework and threading women must learn, including noble women. Although they can throw these tasks to others, no one knows when they will lose their generous noble women's life. It will be too late to learn these skills when they want to go back and learn these skills.

Therefore, they can learn to do the skills of textile tailoring and needlework, but they must know them all.

Zhou Xiang found out the details of the two sisters, and gave Fu Rushuang a simple orchid pattern, and asked her to draw it on the embroidery bandage, then embroider it, and then sat next to Fu Xuechen, teaching her several stitching methods including the edges, so that she could practice on the small cloth until she was familiar with it.

Fu Xuechen had just no one taught her in his previous life. At this moment, a famous teacher was patiently giving advice. She quickly learned the method of hand-stitching. With Zhou Xiang's satisfied and appreciation gaze, she completed the previous half-hour study.

After mastering the most basic suture method, Fu Xuechen began to learn to bury the wovens in the second half of the hour - in fact, it was knitting various Chinese knots, coiling silk ribbons into beautiful pendants or small bags that could hold things.

There are so many ways to build the collaterals! If you want to master all the tricks, you can't do it in just a few months, and you are not smart and useless, and you can easily learn the new and forget the old. You may not be able to master many tricks in those years. You must do it for many years to remember many tricks and remember them firmly.

It took Zhou Xiang a half hour to start with the simplest flat knot, and Fu Xuechen barely learned the most basic one-way flat knot, two-way flat knot, cross knot, Vajra knot and Birdhead knot. I still don’t remember it very much. I have to spend time practicing repeatedly after class to gradually become proficient and master it thoroughly.

There are more and more complex knitting patterns later. It is said that there are nearly a hundred kinds of knitting, and dozens of them are commonly used. Different knots also represent different meanings. These alone are enough for Fu Xuechen to study for more than half a year.

This is a pure craft work, and even in later generations, it is impossible for machines to replace human labor. Fu Xuechen is convinced that he has learned this craft and can rely on it to support himself after returning to later generations.
