Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 12

"Sister Shi, why have you been distracted today? Be careful grandma asks you." Shi Niang was startled by Liu Niang's movements and came back to her senses.

Liu Niang smiled and tied back the sideburns of Shi Niang's ears, as if she whispered just now to remind Shi Niang that her bun was messed up.Sure enough, the old lady stopped paying attention to the movements of the two after she gave a light glance.Shi Niang smiled at Liu Niang, lowered her head to choose a Langhao brush from the small box.

After a while, Ba Niang also arrived. When Ba Niang arrived, she heard that she was going to choose the Four Treasures of the Study, and then looked at Liu Niang who had already selected Hubi and Shi Niang who had chosen Hui ink. Sister, let them choose without waiting for them to come." The old lady just smiled and didn't say anything.

Liu Niang looked at Ba Niang and chuckled, "Ba Sister, if you don't choose again, Shi Sister and I will really pick out the good stuff. Don't cry when the time comes." Shi Niang also laughed, "The one who picks first may not be Okay, good ones may not be the most suitable for you, Eighth Sister is dawdling, but Sixth Sister and I are really the same and will not be kept for you. Come here soon."

Seeing the old lady, Ba Niang just smiled and said nothing, and Liu Niang and Shi Niang would not sincerely be rude to themselves, so they stopped pestering the old lady and said, "Sisters and sisters, please leave some for me." Go forward and follow the sisters to choose together, and choose the pen and ink that suits you.

On the contrary, Liu Niang glanced at Shi Niang appreciatively, and said to Ba Niang, "What Shi Mei said is good, the best is not necessarily the one that suits you, and the one that suits you is not necessarily the best. Ba Mei has to keep her eyes open." Choose well." Shi Niang was aroused by Liu Niang's meaningful words.A clue that looked at flowers in the fog was completely connected at this time.

The best is not necessarily the most suitable for you, and the best is not the most suitable.Qiniang, Qiniang is the best born in the family, but Qiniang's personality is not the most suitable, where is the most suitable?Liu Niang is drafted, and she will participate in the re-election after three years. I want to study with Liu Niang and Ba Niang, who will I study with?What do the female officials who come out of the palace learn?Learn to read, read, and behave.

Ordinary girls have nuns who educate them and learn the rules at an early age, so why bother to learn the rules from the teacher again?What you learn is indeed the rules, I'm afraid this rule is not the other rule.It's the rules of the palace!The family is afraid that they want to train their two sisters to enter the palace together as Liu Niang's help.The sisters watch and help each other, enter the palace to fight for favor, and fight for a way for the family.This is the meaning behind learning the rules and picking the lake pen.

Shi Niang was shocked for a moment. She, who had never thought that she must enter the palace, was a little shocked and dazed for a moment, not knowing what to think.Fingers frantically touched the cool Chengni inkstone, and suddenly woke up.Now is not the time to think too much about it, the timing and location are wrong.I have already posted many times today, and Liu Niang has reminded herself several times that I can't go on like this.

If this continues, the old lady and the others will definitely see the clues.Useful chess pieces are worth cultivating, and those that are worthless are discarded.Ten Niang suppressed the thousands of emotions in her heart, and only concentrated on choosing.

In the end, I chose a piece of pure white and scattered fish brain jelly inkstone, a side of tea ink special ink, and a set of four kinds of brushes for writing capital letters, inch letters, middle letters, and small letters, including Yanghao, Langhao, Jianhao, and Zihao. And some rice papers such as raw Xuan, semi-cooked Xuan and cooked Xuan.Looking back at the four treasures of the study chosen by Liu Niang and Ba Niang, Liu Niang chose the one that suits her just like Shi Niang, but Ba Niang chose the best one, and everything is the best.

She inkstone with ancient rhinoceros rib pattern, super-grade pine smoke ink, Shanlian Lake brush, and some Jingxian Xuan paper.Liu Niang and Shi Niang couldn't help smiling at Ba Niang looking at Ba Niang wishing to keep all the good things in her pocket.The old lady, who was looking at their reactions, secretly sighed that it was true, the old lady wanted to take this opportunity to secretly observe the performance of the three of them.

Since that day, after choosing the Four Treasures of the Study in the old lady's main room, Ten Niang has been thinking about asking Liu Niang for a while.Shi Niang intuitively felt that no one in the family would tell her frankly until the last moment, including her own father.Even Shi Niang was wondering if her father knew about it.

Ten Niang really didn't know what to say to the fourth master who was kicked out of the core circle of family power too early and was able to live comfortably on the family's protection and his wife's dowry shop with only a little salary.For this kind of important matter related to the family, the patriarch and the old lady told him that they valued him, and he could do nothing if they didn't tell him.

Liu Niang is different. Liu Niang has experienced the draft, and is the only bargaining chip in the family so far. If it works properly, she will enter the palace.Moreover, Liu Niang repeatedly helped her turn around in front of the old lady, whether it was acting or helping her sincerely, right now, if she wanted to get the truth out, she could only start with Liu Niang.

Therefore, Shi Niang is not in a hurry, and slowly observes Liu Niang's every move during the study together.As the daughter of the second wife, Liu Niang is really calm in her words and deeds, and her advances and retreats are measured. She is filial to her grandmother and elders, respects her younger siblings, and takes good care of Ba Niang and Shi Niang.Although he is not top-notch in knowledge, he also has his own unique insights.

She even learned the rules of the inner palace quickly and well. The husband can only boast that she is a talented girl who has passed the draft, and she has a clear understanding.Compared with Ba Niang who always picks her head and Shi Niang's obscurity, Liu Niang's excellence is particularly conspicuous.Liu Niang never paid much attention to Ba Niang's provocations. Instead, she paid attention to Shi Niang's silence everywhere, reminded Shi Niang from time to time, and even said that she gave Shi Niang some suggestions to fuel the flames. A posture of respect.

Ten Niang became more and more confused, she was still young, so before class this day, Ten Niang took the opportunity, while the three sisters were chatting together, and casually asked Liu Niang, "Sixth Sister knows what Seventh Sister is doing these days?" What? I haven’t seen Seventh Sister yet, we will visit Seventh Sister together when we are resting.” Liu Niang couldn’t help laughing when she saw Shi Niang’s eyes focused on her, “Seventh Sister is busy these days Going to relatives with Third Aunt, doesn't Ten Sister also want to go out to play?"

Shi Niang looked at Liu Niang in disbelief, did she mean that?Before Shi Niang continued to ask, Ba Niang interjected, "What are you visiting relatives for? I heard from my mother that Seventh Sister followed Third Aunt to visit her in-law's house!" After finishing speaking, she sneered.

"Eight sister be careful." Liu Niang scolded Ba Niang, Ba Niang looked at the maids around and the husband who was walking towards this side, and muttered, "If you do it, don't let anyone say it." Then she stopped talking about Qiniang.

"Speaking of which, this year we haven't gone to Zhuangzi to relax, and we haven't visited various houses. After grandma's birthday is over, we sisters will have to go to each house to visit. Now I can't wait to go out to play, Baba is envious of Seventh Sister , when the time comes, you two girls will get annoyed."

Liu Niang smiled and changed the subject.Seeing that Liu Niang was in control of the overall situation and seemed to be in a state of ease, Shi Niang secretly thought that people are not human according to their appearance, and all the women in the mansion gate are not human beings.

While talking, the gentleman arrived.

What Mr. explained today is the fifth biography of Zhuge Liang in "Three Kingdoms Shu Shu".Liu Niang and Shi Niang listened with great interest, and the husband also became interested in the two female students, explaining it in detail, and even added some of his own opinions.The husband clearly knows that most people invite people from the inner palace to teach them the rules and etiquette for the sake of drafting.

This time, there are only four prostitutes in the main family, and three people are entrusted to her to teach.And Miss Six has passed the general election, and only waits for the re-election three years later.Judging from her many years of experience in the inner palace, the sixth miss of the Du family will most likely enter the palace.

And the remaining two young ones might be the helpers the Du family was looking for for Miss Six.It should be known that it is not uncommon for sisters to enter the palace together in Daliang. Today's empress dowager and the empress dowager are both from the aristocratic Xiao family.

The aunt and nephew watched and helped each other, reached the peak of the harem all the way, and successfully promoted the current emperor to ascend the throne.The Xiao family also took the position of the first family in her hands, full of prosperity.

It is impossible to say that the three daughters of the Du family can make the family rich, as for the degree of wealth, it depends on God's will.It has to be said that the old female official Gao, who is rolling around in the inner palace, has a certain degree of precision in seeing things and has a vicious vision.It's just that she, like Shi Niang, thought she was just an assistant chosen by the family for Liu Niang.

The master looked at the two female students and couldn't help asking: "If you are Zhuge, what should you do?" Shi Niang did not remain silent this time, nor did she show courtesy to Liu Niang, she just stood up and replied, "If I were Zhuge, I should help you wholeheartedly." My lord, make a plan and guard the country so that I can live up to the talents of Yi Yin and Lu Shang, and the ambition of Zhuge Kongming." Liu Niang looked at Shi Niang with obscure eyes, and Shi Niang looked back at Liu Niang with a sweet smile.

After hearing about Qiniang's way out, Shi Niang instantly understood that her previous guess was correct, and the family made great efforts to ask their husband to teach them in order to let the prostitute daughter enter the palace.

Liu Niang has been selected, no surprises, she will enter the palace as a concubine three years later, and she and Ba Niang are the family's dark chess, they are the family's favorite people cultivated for Liu Niang, Ba Niang's color and her own strategy, It is indispensable to Liu Niang's calmness.

Since she was destined to sacrifice for her family and Liu Niang from the very beginning, Shi Niang decided to make her sacrifice worthwhile and be recognized by others.Therefore, she rushed to answer the husband's question before Liu Niang, in addition to showing her husband that she is not as mediocre as usual when the situation is not clear, it is also to show Liu Niang her role and her loyalty.

"Okay, what a 'meeting Yilu between brothers', she is indeed the daughter of my Du family. I still say that the best is not necessarily the most suitable, and the most suitable is not necessarily the best. I am not Zhuge or Yiyin Lushang, I am who I am, and my Liu Niang will be loyal to my heart and to the Du family."

Liu Niang smiled at Shi Niang, their eyes met in the air, Mr. looked at the interaction between the two, and said with a smile, "The two ladies of Zhuge Zhizhi have it, and the rest depends on whether the two ladies have Yi It's a talent. I only hope that the two of you will not forget today's oath in the future."

"This disciple swears here that he will never forget the oath of 'Seeing Yilu between brothers'." Liu Niang and Shi Niang responded in unison.
