Chapter 21

"Four Books for Women" is extremely thin!This is not only Mr. Jiang's feeling, but also Shujia's feeling. She knows all the characters, and she understands all the meanings, so I feel very upset!The first article is the "Women's Commandments" written by the famous senior Ban Zhao. There are seven commandments: humbleness first, couple second, respect and prudence third, women's behavior fourth, concentration fifth, song Cong sixth, uncle and sister first seven.

In short, it is to put oneself at the lowest level first, women are inferior to others from birth (this is also a fact in the feudal era), and be careful to serve everyone.

But to be honest, some of the content still makes sense. That night, Shujia slowly flipped through the original text, which only had a handful of words in total, and then glanced at the notes, and began to interpret it in her heart.Facts tell us that good scriptures have always been recited by crooked monks, although Shujia does not admit that she is a monk, nor does she admit that she is crooked.

Shujia breaks it down by herself: From the first article, we can know that to be a woman, you must recognize the reality. No matter how popular your family is, its importance is not as important as that of your brother.So, for the aristocratic family, all relatives are floating clouds?Probably, when there is hope, I will support it, but it is impossible for the whole family to pin their hopes on a girl and help her.

For a woman, her husband is very important. To get along well with her husband, it is better to be soft with her husband than to be tough, to coax her instead of to bear it, and to learn to be fooled and not to always make "loyal words hurt her ears".Shujia believes that this is called saving the country by curves, paying attention to methods and methods. As long as the goal is achieved, the process and the like can not be so particular.Also, parents-in-law, sister-in-law, and uncle are very important, and a good relationship with them can often make the husband fall into the vast ocean of people's war.

After recognizing the facts and finding the joy of reading, Shujia happily continued to read her books.She realized it completely. She thought that the actual meaning of what she said made sense compared to what was written in the book, but it was just a different way of saying it. In an instant, it was glittering with gold powder. Surrender can be called a curve to save the country. It is a profound art.It depends on who is better at pretending and who is more black-bellied...

"Four Books for Women" is so good, it's great, unlike "Four Books", one sentence has a hundred people wanting to comment on it, wishing to expand the content by a hundred and eighty times, it's like a propositional composition, uh, take them as the title The composition test has been tested for 200 years and will continue to be tested for another 200 years.The book is thin, and you don't need to memorize other things, you can break it by yourself, Shujia is so happy.

In her opinion, is this a black-bellied textbook?

Shujia had a lot of fun in this room, and Mr. Jiang taught it in a very painful way. The lack of reference materials is one aspect, and how to explain it in words that little girls can understand is another aspect.

Mr. Jiang is attached to the Shi family, and he also intends to stay in Hangzhou for a period of time to learn Buddhist scriptures. If the students finish teaching before his study tour program ends, he will be ashamed to live in Shifu with the cheek.After thinking about it, Mr. Jiang was afraid that the content would be too small, so he was laid off after teaching, and he also listed the "Book of Filial Piety for Women" and asked him to buy it.Then I expanded my knowledge and talked about other miscellaneous studies, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I plan to talk about some superficial things.

In this way, there are more things to learn, and the sisters only have half a day of class, which is enough to support them for several years.The acceptance rate of the imperial examination is not high these days, and Mr. Jiang is not sure that he will be able to pass the exam once. If he is unlucky in this subject, he may continue to be a teacher here.For this reason, Mr. Jiang is also concerned about the homework of the two sisters.

Now that I am focused, I start to have a headache.According to the rule of thirteen, you can be drafted. There are many chores in the girl's house. Maybe she has to learn to manage school affairs and do needlework. Some knowledge needs to be taught as early as possible. If the little girl is young, it will be very difficult to explain.Therefore, Mr. Jiang is half intentional and half helpless, so he can only speak slowly and slowly.Shujia doesn't care about his progress, because once Mr. Jiang is in trouble, he will expand the content in various ways, and sometimes it will involve the content of classics and history, which allows Shujia to ask Shi Wenbing to read some history books.

It's not that she doesn't know the previous history, but with this excuse, she can cover up why she knows the previous history, and don't have to worry about leaking her words to attract suspicion when she speaks.Shujia had already made up his mind about his inner study. Although it was a military officer's study, there were a few books, anyway, more than a little girl's.But Shi Wenbing has been too busy recently, and the expression on his face is a bit serious, it is not suitable to talk about this topic, so Shujia had to bear it.Now is the opportunity.

Shi Wenbing’s study room is newly furnished, and there are not many books in it. Besides the common set of “Four Books”, there are also twenty-two histories, and the later called twenty-four histories. This is the beginning, so there are only 24 volumes.On the contrary, as long as there are no taboo books here in Hangzhou, it is very convenient to buy, and Shi Wenbing is not short of money, so he matched a set. There is even "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", and there are many other miscellaneous books including " "The West Chamber" has both.

Mr. Jiang explained the difficulties of teaching to Shi Wenbing. Shuxian is better, because Shujia is a little bit tricky because she is a few years older. 'The book is also good.Shi Wenbing acquiesced to Mr. Jiang's proposal, but he still didn't agree to open his inner study to his daughter. There are many books that men can read and girls can't read.

Shi Wenbing turned around and discussed with Sirut, "It's not short of the money, I sent Fuhai to buy books, give each of their sisters a copy, and send them in tomorrow." Sirut said: " I wondered what it was, so it was because of this, that’s okay. Mr. Jiang is a little careful, as long as the sisters go out to meet people, they will not lose face. Do you still expect Mr. to teach you about other things?” That’s right, housework One is of course trained by the family.

After Shi Wenbing talked about it, he changed the subject and asked about the arrangements at home.Sirut said: "The size has been measured a long time ago, and the shape has also been selected. It is sent outside and is being printed. It will be ready in a few days. It will be ready to use as soon as it is brought. There is only one thing, we When I arrived in Hangzhou, I didn’t bring all the clothes with me, so I had to buy them. When the sisters were growing up, last year’s clothes became smaller in a blink of an eye, so they had to make them now.”

Shi Wenbing wondered: "Why do you ask me about this? The most important thing in Hangzhou is clothes materials? It's not that our family doesn't have the money, and the needleworkers also brought them here." Sirut said with a smile: " Needless to say, it’s just that the styles of clothes here are very different from those in Beijing these days. I can make flag dresses and needlework, but I’m afraid they can’t do well with some new styles. I wonder if they can do it too. Two new ones?"

Women always have a love for beauty. They are more sensitive to clothes and jewelry, and less interested. Sirut is proud of the flag dress, but the southern Han style clothes look really attractive. Can't help but want to make a few sets and wear them.She was afraid that her husband would blame her, so she asked for instructions first.

Shi Wenbing thought for a while: "It's okay to do two sets. I see that uncle and aunt don't always wear flag clothes." He was also worried about being infected by the Han style, so he asked a few more questions about his daughter's education.Sirut's face was full of smiles: "Got it, can I forget this? That's it, the two girls and a few aunts are all dressed up, or some of them go there to buy wine for the show." Go out, and don't let people surround you to watch."

Shi Wenbing felt relieved about his family, and his mind went back to business.Originally, he was full of expectations. Kangxi wanted to pacify Taiwan, and Fujian governor Yao Qisheng and Fujian admiral Shi Lang had already joined the army. He was in Zhejiang, and if he needed something, he was transferred there to help, which was also a credit.Furthermore, because Hua Shan made a mistake when he pacified the San Francisco, so far there is no opinion on punishment, Shi Wenbing is also worried, thinking that if he can make meritorious deeds, he can pay for his father.

Unfortunately, Yao and Shi are too capable to use his help. They just help to take care of the logistics in the rear, and they don't need a helping hand for the time being.Shi Wenbing felt that apart from the power of the Celestial Dynasty, he was also a little downcast, and began to think about Huashan's problem again, leaving most of his daughter's education to his wife and teachers.It wasn't until later that he got distracted from his business and found that the books his daughters were reading were not quite right, and it was too late to regret it.

Children can't take care of adults' affairs now, especially in this home, where the place is big enough, and when adults discuss things, the nuns always take the children away with a wink.Shujia didn't know what Shi Wenbing was worrying about at all, but instinctively felt the tension and depression emanating from his body, and... Her mother began to put back the luggage that her Ama had already packed.

There was one thing that caught her attention. When children were growing up, they would of course wear new clothes every year if possible. This year, they began to buy autumn and winter clothes.The governor Li mentioned earlier died, the funeral was over, and the family members returned home. It was a busy period of time, during which everyone winked and did not celebrate.Silut just took this opportunity to ask Madam Shi Lin for advice, and chatted with Mahada's Madam, and selected several skilled local tailors to make clothes at home.

When Shujia was called to measure the size, she didn't pay much attention to these things. She was used to doing things every year and every season.Sirut pointed to the various clothes on the table and asked her to choose, and asked Shujia to say that it is best not to have more than three colors on her body, otherwise she will look dazzled. Her previous clothes were all decided by Sirut. Now express your opinion.

Sirut frowned and said, "It's not good if it's too simple. The little girl's clothes should be more eye-catching." The tailors also said, "If you match the colors properly, you'll keep them looking good." In the end, they made six sets of clothes. , four of them are still flag outfits, and Shujia's suggestion was accepted, and a light-colored flag outfit was also made.Sirut said to himself, Governor Li is dead, and we may stay in Hangzhou for a few years. If there is another funeral, if we want to meet someone else at this time, it will not be very popular.It happened to meet the daughter's wish again, and the two were suitable.

When I was in a good mood, I called for new jewelry. The daughters gradually grew up, and they had to wear various hairpin rings.There is a habit of changing jewelry in Beijing. Usually, jade jewelry is replaced in early spring, and gold and silver jewelry are replaced in autumn, and the cycle is repeated.On the one hand, they also asked the buyers to find good velvet flowers. The seasons are changing, and the velvet flowers must also be changed.When I was very busy, the finished furniture was handed over one after another, and the wages were calculated with the craftsmen outside.Two or three screens were added to Shujia's room, and Zhang Lu's family replied: "There are also dressing boxes for the wife and the two girls who are also making them. The more exquisite ones will take a while to get." "

Made it feel more like home.

Clothes and jewelry were packed away, and when Shujia's messy classics were getting better, it was also autumn.Although Qiu Huo was quite powerful, he was much better after all.This summer, the rain is still scarce. Shujia has never seen rain in this place in the south of the Yangtze River. She originally hoped that the adults in her family would suddenly want to see the misty rain in the West Lake, and she would also be exposed to it. The matter was completely ruined.

Now that it's autumn, let's not mention the lake tour, but there is another thing, eating crabs.

Governor Li died, and Kangxi got another Governor Wang.Governor Wang's name is Guo'an, Li Zhifang, Governor Li's house served wine to welcome Governor Wang, the men had their own places to go, and the female family just happened to get together to eat crabs and listen to the show.

Eating crabs is an elegant thing. It is easy to get autumn fat crabs here. Put eight crabs in a pack, warm some rice wine, watch osmanthus and listen to operas with claws, it is a beautiful thing.Sirut also went after receiving the post, and left Shuxian and Shujia to watch the house.When she comes back, call for a meal first.

Shujia looked at the small western clock in Sirut's room, it was very close to dinner time, but she rarely saw her in such a hurry to prepare dinner.But I don’t know that it’s the first time for Sirut to eat crabs so carefully. Even if he is a skilled person, it will take a lot of effort to solve a crab with eight pieces of crabs. , can only learn bit by bit.Fortunately, I also ate a few pieces of snacks as a cushion, otherwise I would be so hungry that my chest would stick to my back.

The next day, the Shi family added several pairs of crabs, and a basket of crabs entered the kitchen.Shujia was fortunate enough to learn this crab-eating method, and she had heard about it before time travel, and thought it was very elegant and handsome.She has always been hands-on, only hands-on, uncovering the cover, tearing off the pliers, biting open the shell, picking the meat with the pliers... she ate very well.When I was in Beijing, there were also crabs, not many, and crabs are cold in nature, so it is not suitable to eat more, and children are not allowed to eat if they are delicate.Tasting a small piece of meat was done by someone else.

Now there is the same tool for every job, and it is a headache to eat. She finished the first crab, and it took more than half an hour, and the crab meat was cold.Pain still needs to be learned, and the posture needs to be graceful.Shujia believes that if the problem of posture is not considered, even with these things, the efficiency can be increased by at least half.No wonder her mother-in-law is going to practice hard when she comes back. If she is as graceful as she is, if she is not proficient, she will definitely not be able to eat a few mouthfuls and starve.

The Shi family has almost mastered the skill of eating crabs, and autumn is almost over.Throughout the autumn, Shujia was unable to go out to socialize.I really can't believe the polite words that adults say in communication!In fact, people just said casually that when children are learning things, they run around and miss their homework. Most of them will follow when there are banquets at the relatives’ homes, and they may even not meet when their own guests come. of.

Even Shuxian's birthday is just a few gifts from her family, it is said that the shopkeeper of their family's property donated some toys, and the meal is richer on that day.
