Chapter 66 Network
In the evening, Shi Niang stayed with the eldest princess again. The eldest princess stopped reading and took a comb to gently comb her long hair. Shi Niang's hair was also taken care of by the fourth lady since she was a child. It was dark and beautiful.
Straight. Just put a comb and the comb will slide to the end of your hair.
"You, fourth mother, are obviously very talented, but in the end, you put all your attention on how to take care of your body." The eldest princess sighed softly.
"She said that she likes to eat, drink and have fun all her life. She lives to be happy, so why should she ask for trouble?" Shi Niang looked at herself in the mirror, "Actually, she is quite nice, right? Her life is so comfortable.
."
"I really hope that in her life... the word "willful" is true. You are still a bit like me, a bit heavy-minded. This is not good!" The eldest princess sighed softly, "So I let them take the lead.
You, in this way, you can learn more skills. The main thing is that they are actually quite good-tempered, better than me, which means you can learn something good from them."
"Can temper be learned?" Shiniang looked at her mother.
"It's free to try it." The eldest princess twitched the corner of her mouth and said a little stiffly.
"You need money, raising me is much more expensive than raising a daughter from other families, isn't it?" She laughed. The eldest princess probably doesn't know what money is. Anyway, how she grew up is how a real mother grew up.
Until the fifth lady came in, she reprimanded them in great pain for their prodigal behavior, and then Shiniang was taken into the accounting room and asked to carefully calculate how much money you spend every day.
From the eldest princess to the fourth lady, they all spent money and had no concept of money. Finally, the fifth lady took Shi Niang back. However, their quality of life did not decline, but the cost of living dropped a lot. At this time,
The eldest princess realized that although she was surrounded by loyal servants, the loyal servants were all imprisoned and were stupid, and none of them were smart and capable. Thinking about it, she couldn't let Shi Niang continue to live like this, so the fifth lady taught them
No matter what, she didn't stop it.
"So, you are in the hands of the six of us, and we don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse." The eldest princess sighed again.
"Of course it's a blessing. The second mother is brave and witty, the third mother is unparalleled in embroidery, the fourth mother is an acrobat, the fifth mother is good at calculating, and the sixth mother...it seems that the sixth mother is a bit useless. Apart from teaching me how to watch people quarrel, it seems like nothing.
She didn't teach me either." Shi Niang thought about it and nodded, "So I still have to marry her off, otherwise it will delay things too much."
The eldest princess laughed and thought about it, "You went to the Dading Ceremony today, why didn't you tell me when you came back?"
"What's there to say? It's just the etiquette. Look at the housekeeper of the Cheng family. He's pretty good at such a big banquet. Every noble girl in the city has his or her own merits. A few of them seem to be okay.
The nuns invited from the palace feel like they are carved from the same mold. However, it can also be seen that my uncle likes civilian officials, and the upbringing of those girls... It’s hard to describe." Shiniang thought about it, and talked about it with the eldest princess.
Arrived.
"Interesting." The eldest princess didn't expect that when she went to see the Sixth Lady's wedding ceremony, she ended up going to see the Cheng family's housekeeper and other noble ladies. It was quite new, and she didn't even know this.
Yes. Even though she is the unfavored princess, she is still a princess. She was born noble, so she rarely cared about those angles since she was a child.
"Sanniang, Fourth Niang, and Sixth Niang have always asked me to pay attention to the upbringing of noble ladies, and asked me to find some handkerchiefs to hand over."
"By the way, Xiao's education is average. Why do you think she's good?" The eldest princess nodded. She didn't have a handkerchief of her own age, but Shi Niang had been brought up by her until she was six years old. Some of her temperaments have been fixed.
It would be difficult for her to have a female companion of the same age. But after Shi Niang came to Beijing, she actually praised Fang Yun's wife Xiao.
"A woman's education involves many things. In addition to being able to study and be sensible like a man, she also needs to be able to manage the household and finance, so that she can support her husband and educate her children. Otherwise, there would be no old saying that if the family has a good wife, the husband will not have any trouble. So.
The hostess of a family has the most important character. I like the eldest sister-in-law because she is a bit like Wu Niang, the kind that others may think they are not elegant and decent, but they are truly good wives and mothers. Like now, the eldest brother has not yet
Come on, my sister-in-law is supporting me at home! I don’t like those noble girls because their character is not good! No matter how much you learn to arrange flowers or how many poems you can recite, it’s useless. Let me tell you, Si Niang’s face is disgusting!”
"You are more interesting than me." The eldest princess tapped her forehead. Now she felt what the problem was. Shi Niang had learned so well, "So your Liu Niang's role has been revealed. Liu Niang has acted since she was young.
She is inconvenient and her heart is far more miserable than yours. But her temperament is always a little innocent and cute."
"Mom!" Shi Niang looked back at the eldest princess.
"So, this is not good. You have to learn to close your eyes when it comes to other people's banquets. What is your identity? Those so-called noble ladies are just temporary favors between father and brother. Do you know why the emperors of all dynasties tried their best to promote the common people?
Disciple?"
"I'm afraid that the noble tail won't fall off."
"Capital! How do the educational opportunities of common people compare with those of nobles? If the court is really full of nobles, the emperor will be uneasy. But the emperors of the past dynasties said they were promoting the common people, but in fact they were also maintaining a balance. Common people
The children are the sword that strangles the nobles, and the nobles will never let the children of common people become nobles. Let them confront each other and fight each other."
"So, when I see a noble lady, she is a lady today, but she may not be a lady tomorrow. So there is no need to take it too seriously."
"Yes! There is no need to worry about irrelevant people or things." The eldest princess tapped her nose.
"So, I don't even dare to have children. I am a noble daughter, and my child may not be." Shi Niang felt that the eldest princess was really too powerful, so she immediately persuaded her to leave.
"So we can't choose a better partner than Zhang Qian." She sighed.
"A hereditary prince doesn't care about his official position. Even if he specializes in his profession, his descendants will still have a certain degree of protection."
"No, it's the family motto of the Zhang family. Have you heard the story of the first generation of Yongchang Hou? He didn't want to be crowned king, but he stopped others from being crowned king. He hated the founding heroes all with their teeth. The second generation of Yongchang Hou was...
It is true that he just abides by his family motto and never becomes an official; the third generation Yongchang Hou was forced back to the capital by the third emperor, but he still refused to become an official and just had fun. Zhang Qian is the fifth generation. He said it was because of his loyalty, but
Do you believe it?"
"Why force them to return to Beijing?"
"The hereditary Marquis of Yongchang has stayed in his hometown for three generations. For sixty or seventy years, think about it. Who can stop the land and the division of territory? The third generation emperor has nothing to do with the Marquis of Yongchang! Those who want to kill or behead him,
It’s not up to the superiors. I guess the first generation of Yongchang Marquis left behind the ancestral precept of not serving as an official for four generations. After four generations, a hundred years, all grudges have been wiped out. The fifth generation successor must serve as an official, otherwise
The Yongchang Hou family is really over. So this is a family with great wisdom, which is why we are casting a net to catch him."
------Digression-----
Saturday, I don’t have to be on duty and I don’t dare to go out, which is very suitable for me to stay at home.
