Beautiful step by step

Chapter 32

Liu Rong, daughter of the Liu Mansion, is a special girl. In terms of looks, she is only pretty, but the gentle and bookish air around her makes people who are close to her feel very comfortable.Today, many girls came to the flower viewing banquet in the Liu Mansion, and during the year of marriage around the Qiqiao Festival, all the mansions are busy looking for brides for their children of the right age.In previous years, the habit of flower viewing feasts was formed. This year, families with daughters also prepared clothes and jewelry a long time in advance, so the girls who came here today were all dressed up, with their own advantages and disadvantages.Even so, standing among the flowers, Liu Rong is still not inferior.

The closer you get to her, the deeper the feeling.Obviously everyone has also studied since childhood, but for no reason they feel that Liu Rong is a bit more academic.Wei Wei was a little bit worse, after all, she was educated under the exam-oriented education of the Celestial Dynasty, and the most common one since she was a child was a top student.However, the Ninth Princess, a scumbag, is different. Relying on Emperor Qinglong's favor, she has done a lot of things like being coquettish and obsessed with not writing big characters since she was a child.Seeing Liu Rong now, her admiration is like a scumbag worshiping a god of learning.

"A Rong has read so many books?"

Liu Rong doesn't show off or be humble, just like her sisters usually say: "Well, I played with my brother and senior brothers when I was young, and I learned a little together without knowing it."

When mentioning "senior brother", Liu Rong's tone was obviously a little hurried.Wei Wei sighed, did she think of Chu Lian?Although Wu Shi did such a thing before getting married, it seemed that it had nothing to do with Chu Lian, but she became the wife of the eldest son after all.Husband and wife are one, and most people will vent their anger one or two.However, when he came to Liu's house, instead of taking his anger out on him, he followed him and became her honorable guest.This kind of open-mindedness, on the one hand, is due to the reason of the Liu family, but the most important thing is that the victim Liu Rong didn't care too much.

"No wonder, you have a bunch of brothers who are eager to learn, and my brother has more headaches than me when he reads books, so I was led by him so that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked."

Duan Wang, who was being murmured by the ninth princess in Guangyuan building, sneezed, looked at the sunny sky outside, and thought of Jiumei, who was asked by his father to listen to the lecture last night when he said that he was going out of the palace for a banquet, he had a headache for no reason.Although the mother and concubine are knowledgeable, they cannot all be like the mother and concubine.He heard from the old man in the palace that his father was just like Jiumei when he was young, and often avoided writing big characters.In recent years, he first reads the handwriting when ordering champions, and recruits people with strong handwriting to write imperial edicts for him. Jiumei obviously followed him in this way!
The Ninth Princess in the Liu Mansion also sneezed, took off the veil and muttered: "My brother must be blaming me."

Wei Wei looked at the two of them enviously, she has always been short of brothers and sisters.After finally recognizing her elder brother, her sister-in-law wanted to kill her, which forced her to stay away from Chu Lian.Fortunately, because of Ah Heng, she now has a younger brother.

Through the thoughts of the nine princesses, the three of them talked about their brothers.Among them, Liu Rong's is the best. There are no concubine children in the Liu family, and the three elder brothers above her are all descendants of the same mother, and all of them have passed the examination.The eldest brother and the second brother are married, and the two sister-in-laws are both from a scholarly family, and they treat her very well on weekdays.

As for the Ninth Princess, the most handsome prince in Dayue changed his appearance after her mouth.

"I'm so envious of A Rong, my brother knows how to tease me. He pinched my face when I was a child, and now he framed me to go to school. I wish my concubine would give me a younger brother..."

Liu Rong and Wei Wei looked at each other and smiled, they both heard the unfinished meaning in Jiu Gongzhu's words.There is a younger brother who can pinch his face and force the youngest to study.

"Speaking of which, Ah Yao also has a brother after she got married, and little Ah Yun is much more interesting than my brother."

When mentioning Ah Yun, Wei Wei's face was full of smiles: "Well, Ah Yun is very good, and usually loves to read books. And like Ah Rong, he is serious about reading and learns very quickly."

Now it's Liu Rong's turn to be surprised, the girl's family is no better than my brother's.Like her elder brother, he only needs to study and seek fame at ease, and his mother will make arrangements for basic necessities of life.But she is a girl, and she has to learn more about motherhood, so she has less time to study.In this way, she can still keep up with her brother's progress, which is enough to prove her intelligence and hard work.

And Ah Mao actually compared a child with her, and she could see that Ah Mao was not a publicity character, which meant that this child had something extraordinary.

"That's really smart."

Wei Wei intentionally said to the other side: "It's sad to say, I will set off with Ah Heng to return to Liangzhou in a few days. There are a lot of family affairs over there, so I want to keep Ah Yun in the capital, and I am thinking of finding him for him now." What a master. We are not familiar with the capital, do A Yi and A Rong have any familiar scholars?"

This is the ultimate purpose of her solemn coming to the Liu family for a banquet.Ah Yun's talent is really great, she has met many smart people, but he is undoubtedly the smartest one.His cleverness lies not only in his photographic memory, but also in his penetrating knowledge of the world.However, it is not uncommon to hurt Zhongyong. If there is no education that matches his talent, he will only be a genius in the end, and he will gradually become a mediocre person.

Ever since she saw Liu Rong, she understood why the Liu family would send her birthday invitations.The acne marks on Liu Rong's face are very light, but nowadays people pay more attention to appearance, no matter how shallow the acne marks are, it is also a blemish, and it is inevitable that the pale face covered with powder all day will be criticized.The nude makeup powder formula she gave just solved all these problems.

The Liu family seems to respect rules, but a rigid family that really follows the rules will not be as happy as the Liu family.Rules are important but love is more important, so it is not surprising that she can get the Shouke post.But now, she wants to use this kindness to exchange Ah Yun for a wife.She doesn't expect the Liu family to teach in person, as long as she has real talent and learning.

Liu Rong showed embarrassment: "I really know someone, she is an uncle of my distant family, she is very knowledgeable, even my father admires it very much. It's just..."

"Arong, but it's okay to say."

"It's just that he has very strict requirements for accepting apprentices. Not only must he be talented and good-looking, but he won't even teach if he has studied for five years or more."

No matter how good-tempered Liu Rong is, he still feels that these three requirements are too strict.Children from rich and noble families, who didn't start their enlightenment when they could hold a pen, usually read for more than five years before they were ten years old.For poor families, even if the children don't roll in the mud, the food and clothing costs are not as fine as those of rich families. People rely on clothes, and it is easy to be compared by appearance alone.Besides talent, although there is no shortage of amazing and brilliant people among poor scholars, the chances are too small. Most of the students in the Imperial College come from wealthy families.

"Besides, my father knows many mountain chiefs from academies in central Beijing."

Wei Wei is more inclined to the former, and Ah Yun's talent is not only smart.As for his appearance, although he was dark and thin when we first met, after a good month, his face has grown some flesh, and his skin has turned white.I believe that after a few more days, he will turn into a white, fat and cute bun without accident.

"The first two points are understandable, but why didn't he teach after five years?"

A smile appeared on the corners of Liu Rong's lips: "Uncle Clan said that reading is actually to comprehend the words of sages and realize the principles of life. Thousands of people have different faces. Different people read the same book, and the principles they realize are also different. The students he teaches are naturally different. He feels that after studying for five years, a person's temperament has begun to stabilize. If there is another person with a different point of view at this time, he will not know how to choose between ignorant people, and his temperament will easily be distorted. My father said that there is no one who can teach , to learn, you have to learn from others, and the two often argue about this matter."

Wei Wei was stunned, this man was so forward, even counting the rebellious stage.But as he said, teenagers in their early ten years are the time to form their outlook on life.If the things you come into contact with at this time are too complicated, it is easy to be led astray.

It's decided, choose the clan uncle!
"I don't know if Uncle Arong is free? I want to bring Ayun to visit soon, and let him see if Ayun can be educated."

Liu Rong was a little embarrassed: "The uncle of the family is in the mansion now, so it's natural to visit. It's just...his fate is slightly wrong. In the early years, fortune tellers said that he restrained his wife and children, but now he is only a little younger than my father. Last year, my aunt just Passed away without a son."

Princess Nine was surprised: "Arong's clan uncle, can't he be a layman in Yishan?"

"It's the name of the clan uncle."

Seeing her confession, the nine princesses were full of admiration: "Even my father likes the handwriting of Lay Yishan. Last year, my birthday gift was a wolf hair that he used to mention calligraphy. I want to write with that pen." Good-looking three points."

Liu Rong said modestly: "The Ninth Princess is too famous."

Wei Wei didn't know who Yishan Layman was, but she knew that someone who was praised by the emperor must not be an ordinary person with real materials.Originally, she was very sure of her heart, but now she is not sure.But she has always done more than she thought, and she always has to try everything.The layman Yishan is powerful, and Ayun is no idiot.Thinking about the new clothes I made for Ah Yun before we got married, because Ah Heng's blessing was delayed for some time, it should be ready in these two days.Dress him up well at that time, according to Ayun's mind, the possibility of being accepted is very high.

Thinking clearly in her heart, there were a lot of things waiting for her to do, and her worry was overwhelmed.

"The theory of fate is illusory. There are so many childless people in the world. Aunt Arong is not considered a premature death if she lives to this age. I don't believe in the theory of restraining wives and restraining children."

Liu Rong smiled more sincerely, but in fact she didn't believe that fate.Some people used to say that the clan uncle restrained relatives, but the Liu family is still doing well now.

"It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. After the flower viewing feast is over, I'll go and tell my uncle that you can bring him to see it tomorrow."

There is only one day until tomorrow, and the time is even faster than the flower viewing party.But the master has said so, it would be rude for her to push back.Thinking about it, even if there are a few more days, Ah Yun will not change too much, Wei Wei responded with kindness.

For the time being, the matter of studying is finalized in this way, and then the three of them get together to talk about some interesting things in Beijing.Princess Jiu and Liu Rong talked a lot, Wei Wei was just listening most of the time.But she listened very attentively, and after a while, she knew the rules of many big families.Although it is slightly different from what she used to understand, she understands the core thinking of rich people, accepts these differences with a slight turn, and learns quickly.

Liu Rong, who silently paid attention to her while talking, breathed a sigh of relief, touched the almost invisible powder on her face, this was the first time in three years that she appeared in front of people so calmly.Ah Mao has helped her so much, and she is also willing to teach her something, at least so that she will not be underestimated when dealing with people in the future.
