Chapter 85 Position and Responsibility
Daohua thought that the matter of changing seats would be over, but who knew that Master Shen changed his mind and looked at her again.
"Girl, I will change seats for you today, what do you think?"
Thoughts, what thoughts?
Daohua's head started to spin rapidly.
Master, is he fair in dealing with things, not afraid of power, and does everything according to the rules?
Looking at Mrs. Shen's eyes that shone with wisdom, Daohua shook her head. It probably wasn't this. This Mrs. Shen probably didn't want to hear her flattering her, even though she couldn't say anything good.
So what exactly does she want to hear?
Master Shen did not rush Daohua, but calmly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
Hmm... The tea from the Yan family is very good, not as expensive as other brands. The tea is just ordinary jasmine tea, but it tastes fragrant, delicious and refreshing.
Daohua was silent for a while, and when she saw Master Shen put down the tea cup in his hand, she spoke uncertainly: "In a family, everyone has their own place. You can't take it from others, but don't let others take it from you." Are you going?"
Hearing this, Master Shen raised his eyebrows and seemed to be quite satisfied with the answer. However, he said nothing and just motioned for Daohua to continue.
Daohua took a look at Master's face and continued: "Sitting in different positions requires different responsibilities. Just like me, when I sit in a good position, I have to bear greater responsibilities."
Hearing this, Master Shen showed a smile on his face and said with satisfaction: "It's great that the elder girl can think of this from changing positions." After saying that, he looked at the other three girls in the room.
The second girl frowned in thought, seemingly feeling something;
The third girl... is still feeling aggrieved and sad about changing seats just now, her eyes are still red;
The fourth girl's eyes wandered and her body swayed from side to side, obviously not taking into account what Miss Yan said.
At this moment, Master Shen had a preliminary impression of the four girls of the Yan family.
Master Shen looked at Daohua who was waiting for his judgment and said with a smile: "The elder girl is right. Different positions have different responsibilities. The resources of the family are always limited, and those who enjoy more resources will The more things we have to give back to the family in the future."
"Nothing in this world comes without hard work. Now that you have enjoyed the protection and upbringing of your family, you will have to pay it back in the future."
"I'm changing seats. Firstly, I want to tell you the rules of ordering elders and younger ones and respecting descendants and descendants. Secondly, I hope you can understand your respective positions in the family and the responsibilities you need to bear."
"Girl, as the eldest daughter of the Yan family, you are the most respected among the four sisters. After you enjoy good treatment, you must shoulder your own responsibilities. For example, you should set an example for your younger brothers and sisters and shoulder the responsibilities Take on the usual teaching and supervision responsibilities.”
At first, Daohua felt that she was right, but she couldn't agree with the last sentence.
How has she ever enjoyed good treatment?
Everyone has the same food, clothing, and supplies.
Well, it’s not exactly the same.
She has a courtyard where she lives alone, and a small village as her private property.
Although she bought Zhuangzi with her money, if she didn't have the authority of the cheap father to stand in the way, she, a little girl, wouldn't be able to buy it, even if she did, she wouldn't be able to keep it.
Thinking about it this way, her treatment does seem to be better than that of Yi Huan.
Master Shen has been paying attention to Daohua, and when he saw her expression of disapproval at first, and then began to nod, she felt more satisfied with the eldest daughter of the Yan family, she is a teachable person.
It is actually not an easy task to make a living in everyone's backyard. As wives like them, they are most afraid of encountering people who need to be taught who are not smart and will not listen to the teachings.
Even though each family invites them into the mansion, they all have the name of teaching all the girls in the mansion. In fact, this is not the case. Teaching is a one-stop teaching, but the masters' energy is to focus on the children born from the main wife.
First, no matter how favored the concubines are, it is the wife of the principal who hires them to fix their hair;
Secondly, it stems from an unspoken rule of aristocratic families, that is, the children of common people cannot be better than the children of legitimate children, which is not conducive to the stability of the family. Of course, there are exceptions.
For example, if a concubine is really favored, the treatment of her children is no better than that of a direct concubine, or even better. Of course, such family rules are chaotic, and few can prosper forever.
What's more, if the legitimate children are really unbearable and can't hold up the wall, then the concubine will have a chance to take the lead.
No matter which one, it is actually rarely encountered.
Therefore, their main responsibility is to teach their legitimate children.
In this way, the qualifications of the direct children are related to the ease of their teaching. After all, parents are biased towards their own children. If they do not learn well, it must be the master's responsibility.
The eldest girl of the Yan family in front of me is teachable; the second girl is quiet and well-behaved, and usually won't get into trouble; the fourth girl is active, and if she finds the right interest, it's not difficult to teach.
The most difficult thing to deal with was the third girl who started to cry silently...
After seeing so much of the right and wrong in the backyard, she told the truth, in fact, most concubines seek their own death.
Whether it is for reputation or to maintain the relationship with their husbands, except for a few who are particularly jealous, most of the ladies in charge are tolerant. As long as the concubine behaves well, it is not necessary for them to get married smoothly. What a difficult thing.
It just so happens that some concubines pretend to be noble and compete with their legitimate daughters in all kinds of ways. It’s strange that the lady in charge is used to seeing this!
"Woo~"
Seeing that Yan Yishuang was crying more and more, Master Shen stretched out his hand to call the maid who was serving him: "The third girl has some problems that she can't figure out. Let her go back to rest today. You send her back to her yard, and then go to the main courtyard to meet Li Madam, please explain."
So, Yan Yishuang was sent out of the classroom by the maid.
As soon as she left, Master Shen began to leisurely check the study progress of Daohua and the others.
......
At noon.
Daohua left the school with a look of admiration. When she returned to the main courtyard, she couldn't wait to say to Mrs. Li: "Mom, this Master Shen you invited is really amazing."
First, the seating order was changed, and then the relationship between positions and responsibilities was discussed. Then, after checking their learning progress, class began.
In class, classics are quoted, various stories are readily available, and witty remarks are made. The class atmosphere is very lively.
Seeing her daughter being so happy, Mrs. Li also laughed: "As long as you like it. Master Shen is very knowledgeable and knowledgeable. All the big families in Xingzhou like to invite her. You must learn from Master Shen, especially etiquette." Just follow the rules."
"People in the world are very picky about women. If you want to live calmly and not be criticized by others, you must learn etiquette and rules well."
