Chapter 20 (2)
What's even more tragic is that the two of them now have their own house, and they don't have as much contact as they did when they lived with Sirut before. Extremely ill-informed.Shujia had no choice but to write and do needlework depressedly.

Sirut allowed Shujia to start holding needles. She learned the basic content that Shuxian had learned before. First, she sketched a simple flower shape, and slowly embroidered it stitch by stitch according to the pattern.The work given to her is very little, and the requirements are not high, just to let her get acquainted with the feel.When Shujia was doing it, Mammy He still said, "Girl, don't get too close to your eyes." There are also posture requirements for sewing, otherwise, no matter how good the work is, it is not considered learned for our girls. , After all, you are not needleworkers, and its meaning is more important than the actual work results.

Shujia writes seriously every day, but always feels that her writing is not good. One is that she is still young and her body has not yet grown up, and the other is that she always feels that she has lost the point.Every time I lift my arm, I feel tired after a long time. Calligraphy with soft pens is more torturous than calligraphy with hard pens. I didn’t have such a strenuous effort when I first learned to write in elementary school. At that time, the arm holding the pencil was resting on the table. supported on.

On this day, Shujia was writing again, but she couldn't hold her arms while writing.Mr. Jiang frowned, looked her around for a long time, and then said slowly: "Why don't you learn how to grind ink first."

Ga?
Well, isn't that what the servants and maids in the study have to learn?

In fact, grinding ink is also a science.

Seeing her appearance, Mr. Jiang thought, no matter how smart she is, she is still a child, and there are still many things she doesn't understand.Then he patiently said: "Grinding ink is also training hands. The posture of grinding ink is dignified, which is also very good for writing. From today on, you should grind the ink yourself every day when you write. You can write less, and the way you write must be good." It's good to be right."

After working for a long time, grinding ink is also a way to practice writing posture and increase wrist strength.Mr. Jiang began to explain

When grinding ink, it is required to hang the arm parallel to the table, hold the ink ingot in the hand as if holding a pen, and use the movement of the wrist and arm to grind the ink.Ink grinding should be light and heavy, and the speed should be moderate. The person who grinds the ink should have a correct posture, keep the ink vertically and straightly, and make circles vertically on the inkstone. Do not grind obliquely or push straight, let alone grind randomly.

Grinding ink is a good way to practice the basic skills of writing.Grinding ink in the correct way is equivalent to practicing drawing a circle.Practice it often and get used to it. When you pick up a pen, you can draw a very round and clean circle, which is very beneficial for writing in the future, especially cursive writing.

Then Mr. Jiang demonstrates, put water into the inkstone, take a small spoon, not much bigger than an ear-pick, put a little water in the middle, grind slowly, keep your arms straight, draw circles, don't be impatient...the grinding is almost done , add a little more water, continue to grind, do not add too much water at a time.The water must also be clear water, not hot water, so that good ink can be ground.

The ink needs to be ground thickly, but this "thickness" has a certain limit.If it is too thick, it will be as thick as mud, which will glue the pen and make it difficult to write; if it is too thin, the ink will penetrate too quickly, and the handwriting will bleed out a large circle of water stains on the paper, making the strokes blurred.Mo Nong should be moderate.If the ink quickly submerges the grinding marks after the ink ingot is ground, it means that the ink is not thick enough and you can continue grinding.If there are clear grinding marks on the place where the ink stick has been ground, and at the same time, the ink slowly submerges the grinding marks, it means that the concentration is moderate.If the traces of the ink remain still, it means that it is too thick and can be diluted appropriately.

After Mr. Jiang explained and demonstrated, he dipped the nib of a pen in a little ink and tapped it on the rice paper. Seeing that the ink dots were as thick as lacquer, and the ink dots were slightly oozing, Fang said: "This has been polished well, and you can write. Put the ink on the rice paper when it is finished." Take out the ingot and wipe off the water, and then grind it next time. After grinding the ink, do not leave the ink ingot in the inkstone pool to prevent the ink ingot glue from being removed from the inkstone surface; wipe off the water on the ink ingot to avoid The water-soaked ink sticks become loose and drop ink particles."

Shujia rubbed ink every day, which made her waist sore and her arms ache.Ever since she was stimulated by the homework incident, she took everything seriously and dared not ignore it.If Shuxian is really talented, intelligent, and IQ twice as high as hers, that's fine. It's hardware, hardware. For example, Pan Changjiang met Yao Ming. Height can't be helped.But Shuxian is better than her in 'working hard', which is hard to accept.

Sometimes it's like this, the more you want to do something, the more you can't do it, and it's not as good as when you're careless.It's really a great irony of hard work.Shujia was politely criticized by Mr. Jiang for grinding the ink too quickly and not concentrating: "If the right hand is tired, switch to the left hand. Use steady force and take your time..."

Going back to the room to write big characters, I made a mistake again in a hurry. I was writing more than half a page, and this piece of paper was useless again. Come and look around.Aunt Wu Ya heard the movement and came over, bent down to pick up the pen, and handed it to Chunxi: "Wipe it clean and give it to the girl."

Shujia blushed again, it seemed...it's easy to blush recently.Aunt Wu Ya said: "If the girl is bored and tired, wipe your face and use some sour soup. It's easy to get angry in summer." It's even redder, and it's about to bleed.The pen was thrown away, and the paper was also destroyed, so he had no choice but to walk out from the desk and said in a friendly voice, "I'm sorry, ma'am."

Leaving the book case and not facing failure directly, my heart slowly calmed down.The self-control of an adult slowly came back, really, Shuxian is not yet eight years old, I am really naive to be so angry with a little girl, Shujia thought so.But being compared by an eight-year-old girl in terms of patience, perseverance, and self-control, the guy who pretended to be tender was still embarrassed, and started to be serious, and then started to be naive.

Wang Momo felt sorry for her, and personally went up to bring Shujia sour soup, and fed her mouthful by mouthful.Nanny He also knew it well. When her girl was embarrassed, um, unfortunately, the maids all gathered together because they had to come in to measure the size.In their opinion, it is not a big deal, the second girl is usually much stronger than the eldest girl.Nanny Yin also said: "How old is the girl this year?"

Shujia raised her head, thinking about it, her age is really difficult to calculate.five years old?six years old?Or... 25, six years old, or past thirty?Mother He said: "That's right, the girl is only six years old this year, what's the hurry?"

Urgent... There's really nothing to be anxious about, but I'm just a little unwilling, and when I'm anxious, I can't do anything well, and the more I can't do it, the more anxious I become.Shujia thought slowly, there is really no rush for anything.He let out a breath: "I'm fine, just wash up and go to bed." I needed to calm down, thought for a while, and said, "Throw away the badly written words, and don't let me see them."

That night, she thought a lot, including her own attitude towards things, including what to do in the future.She took a big lesson.

Waking up the next day, looking at the neat desk, Shujia slowly sharpened her ink, slowly wrote her characters, and gradually entered the state.See, it's not that you can't do well, as long as you don't be affected by bad emotions.Since then, she has calmed down a lot. She was originally a housekeeper by nature, but she was able to calm down and write slowly.

After finishing my homework last night, it was almost time for breakfast, and I was still not satisfied, so I picked up a piece of paper and wrote: "There is no ambition unless you are indifferent, and there is no distance without tranquility." This is clearly bullying the maid who is illiterate. Son.These two sentences are not in her homework yet.

Looking at the paper with satisfaction, Shujia thought to herself, if she doesn't calm down, how can she see the road clearly?How can you get things done if you don't calm down?

Time has entered autumn and July, and the autumn tiger is still powerful, but it starts to become cooler sooner or later.When the weather is better, people's mood is better. Mr. Jiang is more and more satisfied with the two students. The older one is not stupid, but also works hard, while the younger one learns faster. The husband was still a little worried about 'it's too late', but after taking care of her, Momo tempered her temper.

It's a pity that after memorizing the serious "Four Books", he, a big man, wants to teach a little girl to read "Four Books for Women", and he has a headache and pain.He has never taught this kind of experience. The "Four Books" has been continuously annotated in the textbooks and annotations in the past dynasties, and the materials are very complete. Mr. Jiang is from this background. The "Four Books for Women" is not easy to manage, because it only studies women, and it is not profound at all. There are few annotated books, and even fewer books for reference. He used to just read it in general.

Unfortunately, Mr. Jiang teaches female students. Those with complete materials are not used at all. On the contrary, those with incomplete materials need to be explained in detail.Mr. Jiang wanted to scratch the wall in pain. Since the two students started to memorize "University", oh, this one is a bit deeper. Although it is short, it still takes some time to explain it. Studying "Four Books for Women", although I agree with it, how should I explain it?

When the little girl's parents used to ask questions about homework, as long as they could memorize the "Four Books", they probably knew the meaning.What I'm learning now is the norm for women to settle down and live their lives, how could they still ask questions hastily like before?The two little girls are not very old, what should I say to make them understand and make sense?
The problem is, seven-year-old men and women are seated differently, and the younger one is only six years old, so he still doesn't fully understand the difference between men and women, right?Then how to explain how to explain? ! ! "Four Books" has been learned so smoothly, if he is slow in learning "Four Books for Women", will he be blamed by his boss?
Ahhh, why did she recite it so fast before?Why did I have to teach so bloody before? !Mr. Jiang was in a state of confusion, holding the thin duowentang co-printed edition of "Four Books of Boudoir Girls Annotations" and knocking his head with remorse.Even if it's an antique book...it still can't hide the fact that it's extremely thin!
A big man, Mr. Jiang Yuan, who was a tutor in the Qing Dynasty for the first time to teach two small female students, temporarily let go of his goal of "going to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to learn from the scriptures and learn from them, so that they can take stereotyped exams".
