MTL - Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang-Chapter 27 Dicui Tang
Chapter 27 Dicui Hall
When Jiang Liu woke up, he found his elder sister by her side, holding a small embroidered stretchy handkerchief. She was straight and small, and lowered her head delicately. The embroidery needle passed through the fabric, and the thread was pulled back again... In Jiang Liu's eyes, every action of her sister was so pleasing to the eye, with a sense of tranquility that made people feel calm.
Can she become like this in a few years? His eyes fell on the embroidery needle that shone with cold light, Jiang Liu's pupils shrank, let it go.
Jiang Muyan heard the movement, turned her head and saw that her sister was awake, put down the half-embroidered handkerchief and came over, "Sister, you are finally awake."
She slept for a long time? Jiang Liu turned her head to look out the window. She usually wakes up when the sun is in this position. Today is not too late. My sister is in a hurry, she should be looking for something.
Jiang Liu slowly got up and obediently asked her sister to help her get dressed. While dressing her sister, Jiang Muyan said, "Let's hurry up, Mrs. Kong will blame for being late."
Jiang Liu's eyes widened, why are you late, who is Mrs. Kong?
Shuqiu squatted down to put on shoes for the girl, and said very sympathetically, "The old lady asked the sixth girl to go to Dicuitang to learn calligraphy from today."
The boy of the Jiang family went to the academy to study, and the girl was taught by the Xixi invited by the house. When Jiang stayed on the mountain, he heard that all the girls in the house went to Dicuitang when they were seven years old. Isn't she only six years old?
Time was running out, Zhao Qingling picked up Jiang Liu and explained as he walked, "The old lady meant to let the girl listen to her first, so as not to be bored in the house every day."
She is not boring, she still has to practice walking!
When the nanny put her on the small chair behind the desk in Dicui Hall, Jiang Liu was still in a trance. While the three girls were arranging the books and ink, Shu Qiu leaned into her own girl's ear and reported in a low voice, "My servant heard that the old lady thinks that the girl has finally survived, so I want you to take the opportunity to learn some rules, so as not to be better later. Noisy."
Ginger stay…
Jiang Muyan said with a calm face, "Shuxia, Shuqiu, you guys should wait outside."
"Yes." After Shu Xia pulled Shu Qiu and left, Jiang Muyan sat beside her sister and helped her open the thread-bound book in front of her, happily saying, "Sixth sister is learning this book today, if Mrs. Kong doesn't understand it to you, go back to my sister. Let me tell you again, these sisters know how. We can read and write together in the future!"
Jiang Liu's gaze moved from the happy face of the young lady to the book on the table, and saw the word "Qu Li".
Please forgive her ignorance. What kind of book is "Qu Li"? Could it be the "Li" in the Four Books and Five Classics. She remembered that it clearly refers to the "Book of Rites".
Before Jiang Liu could understand, she heard a movement outside. She looked up and saw the eldest sister Jiang Murong, the second sister Jiang Muzheng, and the fifth sister Jiang Mujin approaching one after another. The three of them were also surprised to see Xiao Jiangliu.
Jiang Mujin jumped over a few steps, "Why is Sixth Sister here?"
Jiang Muyan replied on behalf of her younger sister, "My grandmother sent a message, and asked the sixth sister to follow us to study the calligraphy."
"Is that so..." Jiang Mujin looked at Jiang Liu sympathetically. She was so miserable, she entered Dicui Tang several months earlier than the other sisters.
Jiang Murong came over, holding the posture of the eldest sister, "Third sister, I am next to the sixth sister, so I can teach her books, help her polish ink and put paper."
The rules set by Mrs. Tai are that maids are not allowed to serve in the Dicui Hall.
Jiang Muyan shook her head, "I don't dare to bother Big Sister, I'll do it."
Jiang Mujin bit her finger and asked, "Sanjie, where did you read your book?"
Jiang Muyan has been in the Wang family for a few months. She didn't study with her sisters. The Wang family also has a western seat, and the gentleman invited is more famous than the Jiang family. The little sisters are curious.
"In the past few months, I have mostly been studying "Poetry", "Ritual" and only "Guanyi"." Jiang Muyan was very happy to discuss knowledge with the sisters, "eldest sister, second sister, fifth sister, how about you?"
Jiang Murong was full of envy, "I was not as good as the third sister until I read Confucianism."
"I just read "Miscellaneous Notes", but I can't recite it." Jiang Muzheng's voice contained fear. Jiang Liu felt that although the second sister was timid, her voice was clear and pleasant.
Jiang Mujin sighed, "I haven't finished reciting "Qu Li" yet, but the third sister is still amazing."
back? Jiang Liu looked down at the thick book on the table, and suddenly felt that something bad was going to happen.
Before she could ask, Madam Xixikong, the daughter of the Jiang family, arrived. This Mrs. Kong was dressed simply and had a serious face. If she changed her outfit, she would be the same as the teacher of the ideological and political class known as the "Three Kills" in Jiangliu School. Jiang Liu looked at her and felt murderous.
What is three kills? That is the most terrifying existence in the university: Dugu, who pursues problems and kills people when he is out of the test paper; four famous arrests who make candidates feel fearful when invigilating;
After Mrs. Kong came, the little sisters immediately silenced, curtseyed and saluted, Jiang Liu also slowly stood up and saluted.
Mrs. Kong's stern gaze fell on Jiang Liu, and she said slowly, "Ladies, please get up."
When Jiang Liu got up slowly, he found that Mrs. Kong was staring at her, which made her hands and feet go numb.
Mrs. Kong looked at Jiang Liu for a moment, and then said, "Sixth girl is the first to enter Dicui Hall. Please remember a few words in your heart."
The first thing to do at school - ideological education, Jiang Liu nodded slowly.
Mrs. Kong said, "One is diligent, study sooner or later, and one day should not be slack; the other is diligence, and there is no room for sloppy learning; the third is..."
After listening to Mrs. Kong's training, Jiang Liu bowed, "Yes."
Mrs. Kong nodded with satisfaction, "Miss Liu is a new learner today, first read the first four sentences of "Qu Li" with me."
Jiang Liu nodded and followed Mrs. Kong to read two lines of characters slowly, then Mrs. Kong taught her to hold a pen and copy the copybook.
When Jiang Liu was able to hold the pen, Mrs. Kong turned to check on the schoolwork of the four Jiang Murong. When Jiang Muyan arrived, Jiang Liu could clearly hear Mrs. Kong's tone softened, "What books have the three girls read recently?"
After listening to Jiang Muyan's talk about what books to read, Mrs. Kong was very satisfied, and asked Jiang Muyan to recite "Guanyi" silently.
"The reason why mortals are human beings is propriety and righteousness. The beginning of propriety and righteousness lies in correcting the body, aligning the colors, and obeying the words..."
Listening to Miss Xueba reciting the ancient prose, holding a brush and drawing a caterpillar, Jiang Liu, felt a lot of pressure.
After Jiang Liu drew a horizontal and vertical caterpillar on a piece of paper, when he returned to the west courtyard, he was almost collapsed. She did not expect that holding a brush to write is more tiring than walking.
She was taken back to the west courtyard and drank a few sips of water tremblingly, and Shu Qiu happily came to her side, "Girl, Young Master Ling beat up the Third Young Master to the ground!"
Jiang Muyan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and Jiang Liu immediately regained her spirits, "Brother- where?"
