The ladies of the Lin family, like the young masters, do not go to schools outside. They all hire masters with solid knowledge and rigorous style as teachers at home. The two schools are close to each other, separated only by a wall. [] The family school can also be regarded as a clan school.

Not only the children of the Lin family go to school here, but also those from other branches and distant relatives can come here, so there are quite a lot of people.

The month that Sanfang came back happened to be close to the Spring Festival. In order to allow the students who were going to participate in the Spring Festival to prepare fully, classes have been suspended until now. Now that the Spring Festival results have been released and the palace examination has ended, the Master waved his hand and started school.

Yuzhu asked Yumei, and it turned out that the first thing she learned in the girls' school was the one about women admonishing women for their virtues. The Four Books and Five Classics were just casual talks. The master would not have hard and fast rules, that is, whether you like to learn or not. This is not true.

It's okay, I was initiated by Tanhua's father himself, and I have already memorized the rules of women's appearance and virtues by heart. Who has the patience to read those Four Books and Five Classics? Such a rule can leave a lot of time to do something that I really feel.

Interesting things.

Today is Yuzhu's first day at home. In the morning, as usual, he has to pay his respects to the old lady. Mr. Shi usually meets guests in the main hall. After everyone leaves, he lives in the secondary room of the Nuan Pavilion on the east side.

The old lady is now sixty-five years old. Because her life is relatively smooth, she also pays attention to health maintenance and is good at taking care of herself. She does not look very old. Her skin is rosy and wrinkled, but her gray hair gives her away.

The fact that she is no longer young. The old lady got up very early. When the four sisters went to pay their respects, she had already gotten up. She was wearing a dark blue cloud and peacock pattern robe and was sitting in front of the red sandalwood magpie and plum blossom pattern dressing table.

She asked a woman in official green to comb her hair. The person who combed her hair was a housewife she brought over from her parents' home. Now that she is a mother-in-law, this job has never fallen into the hands of others.

Pass.

Seeing the four sisters coming in together, they greeted her with a graceful greeting. Mrs. Shi smiled heartily and said, "It's hard for you to get up so early at such a young age. Please get up. Have you had your breakfast?"

Although the four sisters all said they had eaten, Shi still insisted on letting the maid serve each of them a bowl of red date and bird's nest porridge. She watched them slowly drink it in small sips, and then said with satisfaction: "Girls need more."

Eating bird's nests will nourish your skin with enough water to make it look good."

After leaving the old lady's yard, Yumei smiled and said to Yulan and Yuzhu: "It's the first time for the two sisters to come to the private school. Just follow your sister. It's not far. Follow this road to the end and turn right.

Already." She acted like an eldest sister.

These days, Yulan is making clothes according to Xu Ma**'s wishes to please Ms. Cui, and her temper is a little calmer. She just responded lightly after hearing this.

The youngest Yuju was a little uneasy. She glanced timidly at Yuzhu beside her, with some fear and faint excitement hidden in her eyes.

To her surprise, Yu Zhu didn't feel self-conscious about being a legitimate daughter, nor was she hot-tempered. She even smiled sincerely: "Thank you, sister."

In addition to the four sisters Mei Lan, Zhu Ju, there are four girls in the school. They are all outstanding girls of the right age selected from the branch of the Lin family. The clan says that they are dedicated to the clan, but in fact, the four girls are almost just

The existence of companion reading.

When the four sisters arrived, the four girls had already arrived. Three of them were sitting and reading, and only one was standing by the window looking at the scenery.

"Who is this, Sister Mei?" The girl in pink clothes who was watching the scenery by the window saw Yumei coming in. She smiled brightly, with two distinct pear dimples appearing on her cheeks. She looked cute and fresh with a sweet smile.

The sweet smile is very endearing.

Yumei obviously liked this little girl, and her smile deepened. She took Yulan and Yuzhu and introduced to everyone: "This is Yulan, she is thirteen, and this is Yuzhu, she is eleven years old this year, they are both mine."

The girl from my third uncle’s family will study with us from now on.”

At this time, the other three girls who were sitting also quickly stood up and came to greet them. Yumei introduced them one by one with a smile: "This is Yunni, Yunxia, ​​Runxin and Hongdou."

It turns out that the girl I just spoke to is named Runxin, and she is indeed a moist and sweet person.

Yuzhu secretly looked at Yunni and Yunxia, ​​judging from their names, they should be sisters, but looking at them sitting far away, they seemed not to have a good relationship; the one named Hongdou was the strangest, although these four girls were all Lin

The family background of the branch of the family is not much better, but the other three are still wearing gold and silver, and they are also wearing good materials, but she is really "simple", with only a small hairpin on her head, and a simple silver hairpin on it.

, although the jacket she is wearing has wide sleeves, it is just an ordinary pinched placket, and tied underneath is a long cyan waist skirt without any embroidery decoration.

This outfit is not even as good as the second-class maid in the house.

Before they could chat for a while, an old master with a beard as white as his hair came in slowly. His surname was Li. He was a civil servant. He failed to pass the Jinshi exam after more than thirty years, so he had to go back to the countryside to start a business.

I was living in a private school, but as I got older, I had to teach fewer and fewer students, and my life became more and more difficult. Fortunately, I was recommended by my senior classmate in high school, so I was able to enter the Lin Mansion. Although I was not qualified to teach boys because of my academic background.

, but he thinks very liberally and just wants to be at ease. It doesn't matter that the old men next door are highly educated or make a lot of money. They are not talking about it every day, but they are thirsty and tired like dogs.

Well, two more came today. Old Master Li glanced down and asked, "Have you ever learned the female precepts?"

Yu Zhu and Yu Lan looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"Come back and listen."

Yu Lan stood up first, holding the handkerchief in front of her body, lowering her eyes and thinking: "I am stupid, insensitive, favored by my ancestors, and trained by my mother and teacher. I am ten years old.

Fourth, holding a broom in the Cao family... the humble is the first. The ancients gave birth to a daughter in three days... the couple is the second... the wife is the fourth... the song is the sixth... the uncle and the sister are the seventh... "Poetry" says

:'There is no evil there, there is no shooting here.' That's what it means."

It can be said that big beads and small beads are falling on the jade plate, crisp and sweet, fluent and calm. Master Li closed his eyes and listened carefully, nodding his head repeatedly, looking very satisfied, and the "students" below also had expressions of admiration on their faces.

But Yuzhu felt very awkward. This was what she couldn't accept the most. Women's servility is simply the most normal thing. Listen to the saying "If a husband does not control his wife, his dignity will be lost; if a woman does not serve her husband, her moral integrity will be lost."

"Falled." This means that if a husband cannot control his wife, he loses his majesty, and if a wife cannot serve her husband, she loses her morality. To modern women, this is a joke, and a slap in the face will not kill you.

He shook his head, but luckily he didn't ask himself to carry it. He suddenly spotted Hongdou. What was that expression? Was it disdain? When Yuzhu wanted to see more clearly, a chuckle suddenly sounded outside the window, which immediately attracted the attention of all the girls.

——

It was actually the voice of a strange young man

Old Master Li opened his eyes and scolded in a stern voice that completely overturned his old image: "Which madman is so rude?" He was familiar with the boy next door, and the one outside was definitely not from the school. Buddha bless him,

There were a bunch of girls in the house. If something happened to him, he would be thrown out of the house immediately. Then he would really have to go back to his hometown to farm.

"I'm sorry, I've never heard of this female ring. I found it quite funny when I heard it today, but I'm rude. Ladies, please don't be surprised." Following the clear and elegant apology, a handsome young man in white appeared at the door.

There is a warm smile on her face, the corners of her delicate mouth are slightly hooked, her black and bright eyes seem to have a long and bright light flowing through them, her hair is tied up with a jade hosta, and her moon-white carved silk silk robe with wide sleeves makes her figure extremely slender, in the early morning

Standing erect in the bright sunshine, he turned out to be a rare and beautiful young man.

Yuzhu didn't like this kind of pretty boys, but she suddenly felt that the air in the room suddenly became hot. She wiped a drop of sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief. Sure enough, spring was here, could the fever be far behind?
