Chapter 6

This place never ceases to amaze.

Such as name.The name is something that others say more than oneself.Yao Jing has a name, but she doesn’t use it much. The maids call her “Second Girl”, and the brothers call her “Second Sister”. No face-to-face) Most of the time, she is called "Er Yatou" or occasionally "Little Niu Niu".

This is said to be a name with beautiful connotations and expectations that the standard father thought about for a long time. Now it is useless, so that Yao Jing has no impression of this name until now. If you ask her what is her name, she will probably get one. Roll her eyes, she still doesn't remember.

Being called "Second Girl" and "Second Girl" gave Yao Jing the illusion that she was Ermu Tou Yingchun.Yao Jing shuddered and swore that she would never be a soft persimmon!When you start sitting, try to sit upright, and when you stand, try to stand upright, so you don't need to cultivate a strong aura from childhood.

Another example is my aunt.The standard father of this family has three concubines named Zhang, Li and Wang.Aunt Zhang is the biological mother of the eldest sister. Aunt Li once gave birth to a boy. Unfortunately, the third son born to E Niang died of disease in the front and rear feet. The infant mortality rate is high, which is the national condition of this era.Yao Jing originally thought that there would be at least one person like Jia Huan's mother here, but she didn't expect that everyone would follow the rules.Even Aunt Zhang, who has a daughter, and Aunt Li, who gave birth to a son, are not gossips. Aunt Wang is a little younger, more lively, and talks more in front of her, a bit sharp. But she never made any unreasonable troubles, at least Yao Jing never met or listened to gossip.Of course, it may also be because she is still young and hasn't come into contact with it yet?

Yao Jing was embarrassed by this.Her common sense is still at the stage of literacy, and she only remembers bits and pieces, but the girls in the penguin group all said that as long as it is time travel, it must be a fight. If you marry someone without entering the palace, you will continue to fight in the house.In a word, women are born to embarrass each other.Now, what is this? !

Another example is "sister".After all, Yao Jing is not a lolita anymore, and she understands this thing very well. It doesn't mean that if you don't care about it, it doesn't exist.When I was young, I was very yearning when I heard "a calf is not afraid of a tiger at birth", and I secretly wrote it down to encourage myself to fight. After I grew up, I came back to realize that "not being afraid" does not mean "fighting", a tiger It doesn't matter whether the cow is afraid of him or not, the tiger just eats it!When you make up your mind, you can make up your own bastard, and come to court from thousands of miles away, just like the Qing Dynasty.When things come to an end, Nanjing and Beijing will still sign a contract to cede land for compensation.

Do you pretend to be a lolita first to show that you don’t understand these twists and turns, continue to pretend to be cute and have a good relationship with the eldest sister, and use a naive pouty face to soften her heart, or should you be careful not to touch the forbidden place in the other party’s heart?Yao Jing couldn't make up her mind.The eldest sister's self-esteem has been clearly shown, and she must do her best in everything. I don't know if I have heard gossip?It's no wonder that when Daddy Standard came back, she tried her best to show it. Is it appropriate for me to do it?A good start is half the battle, and the start is especially important.Although I am sensitive to the word "different mother", but after all, it is my sister, no one wants to have a bad relationship, right?

Yao Jing had a sad face, and when she was thinking about how to get along with this sister in the future, the eldest sister continued to work hard to learn to read, as if she didn't take this matter to heart at all.The next time I see her, I will still greet her: "Hello, sister." After the greeting, you should do whatever you want, or say hello, or have a meal, or answer Er Niang's questions.Yao Jing is just too ignorant, that's how it is in this era, there are differences between concubines and concubines, everyone has already admitted this fact.Moreover, this elder sister is a kindergartener, so what amazing things are expected of her now?

Yao Jing was depressed to find that all her common sense had been completely overturned in this square courtyard.The cleaners (clean wear knowledge popularizers) didn’t tell her that if she wore clothes too early, her head would be shaved, she didn’t tell her that she had to be bilingual or even trilingual, and she didn’t tell her that after she got her name, she couldn’t hear anyone calling her or even herself. will forget.Mr. Cao also didn't say what to do if the maid and nanny took care of him honestly and attentively, and there was no concubine who complained about her brother.

Common sense is useless, so I have to learn it now, "Marxism needs to be localized, and everything needs to be analyzed in detail", Yao Jing comforted herself this way.

Day by day, in the first rapid growth period of human beings, Yao Jing grew up very fast.Slowly able to run and jump, the range of activities in the small courtyard gradually increased.Following this, more and more news came to be known.For example, Er Niang didn't just sit at home and take care of which girl was lazy and which cook was greedy, she would also ask people to inquire about the outside world.

There is also a second uncle in the family, who has not met yet.After standard father came back, I don't know what the two brothers said, and they also started to spread some outside news.One time, after the second uncle sent someone to pass the news, the girls didn't hold back, and gossiped about it, saying that the second master is now a third-class bodyguard, and they were about to say kiss, but they ended up in San Francisco.San Francisco originally did not hinder the life and death of the people in the capital, but the queen's national funeral, his father and elder brother were all prepared for the war sent by the military, and there were no elders to arrange the marriage for him, so he is still a bachelor.

I don't know if the news from the second uncle is good or not. Although the imperial army has gradually gained the upper hand, many martyrs from the official army have also appeared.Fighting these years is not as simple as imagined, using small soldiers as cannon fodder, and some high-ranking officers also died in battle or on the way.As for which officials they were, Yao Jing remembered it at the time, but forgot it in a blink of an eye.All she could remember was that her current grandfather had been miraculously safe.

Yao Jing absorbs common sense like a little girl born and raised in the Qing Dynasty. Many children’s toys of this era can still be seen once or twice when Yao Jing is very young. When she grows up, they are replaced by Transformers and Barbie. Seeing these handmade toys is a kind of intimacy.There are real objects for teaching, and speaking Manchu to apples is much better than reciting the image of "apple apple apple" and remembering it clearly.

Yao Jing tried her best to clear up her mood, and tried not to think about her cousin Yao Ni. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)." Ah woo' looks like 'apple'." The arrogant look.The dead girl was sitting on the sofa in her house, gnawing on her apples. At that time, the dead girl was only five years old, and her face with baby fat looked like an apple.

At this time, Lamei came over and sent a message: "I called the person who shaved my hair today, and my wife told me to take the second girl to shave my hair together." It's May, and because the second Mrs. Kang returned to the West, the national event of keeping hair for [-] days is here. That's it.The thin layer of hair that had just grown on Yao Jing's head was about to disappear in a blink of an eye.

Because of the hairstyle, barbers in the Qing Dynasty were relatively common. Yao Jing memorized "The barber's pick is hot at one end" when she was studying Xiehouyu in elementary school. ,stove".

In comparison, the nine-year obligation is more reliable, at least what the textbook said has come true, and what the cleaners said is not far behind.

Yao Jing was hugged by the nanny to salute, and after she was placed on the arhat bed where Er Niang was sitting, she also greeted Er Niang and her sister.My sister also smiled and asked back.Yao Jing thought for a while and asked, "Where's brother?" The elder sister sat aside, glanced at her, and said nothing, Emiang said, "They went to school early in the morning."

... What I want to ask is don't they shave their heads together?Also, are female hairdressers fashionable these days?
Of course not, the two of them were looking for a male barber to shave their heads too early.It's just because the two sisters are girls and the family has a relatively high status, so they use the handy servants in the family.Yiying's shaving equipment is also complete at home, and it can even be said that it is exclusively used by the two sisters.Yao Jing didn't see picks, but she saw hot water basins, combs, grates, razors and other things arranged.

At the moment, I shaved my sister first, wrapped a large towel around my neck, mixed hot water, washed the wet hair with soap, and then warmed my head with a hot handkerchief before using the knife.Shave off the surrounding hair carefully, leave the middle part, dry it, braid it into a small braid, and tie it with a red string.

Yao Jing did the same, except that her hair was not braided much, and it was tied up symbolically with a red string.After being shaved, Yao Jing hated the word quilt even more.Looking at my sister's freshly shaved green scalp, and seeing that the mother-in-law and the nuns have full hair, I want to grow up earlier, so that the hair can cover the scalp at least.

After shaving his head, because he performed well and didn't cry, he was really praised a few times.Er Niang gave the eldest sister a plate of Saqima as a reward, but Yao Jing didn't dare to give her such a hard food because she was still young, so what she got was a bowl of crispy cheese.better than nothing.

After shaving her head, the house is still peaceful, and the nuns are still working hard to teach Yao Jing how to speak. In addition to words, they also taught simple greetings before, but now they are trying to teach long sentences.While teaching, she also boasted: "The second girl learns really fast, faster than the eldest girl at that time." Er Niang was very happy when she heard that, and the days came to June in such a peaceful way.

In mid-June, the family was not calm again. I don't know if there is a standard two months after taking office. My father was transferred from Shandong to Zhili again.Because it was in the rear, I asked for an order and passed by the capital again.Hey, it's the city of Beijing. Of course, the place to go to the palace to congratulate during the Chinese New Year is the capital city.But he didn't stay for long, he just got home that afternoon, took a look, turned around and set off.This time, Er Niang felt relieved, and said directly: "Zhili is always closer than Shandong."

Fu Dali and Qing De didn't see their father in school, and they came back from school to say hello and hello, and they were a little upset when they heard that Ama had come and hadn't seen him.Yao Jing and her elder sister saw Daddy Standard, and felt that he was darker and thinner, a little tired, but his complexion was fine.The standard father didn't have time to comfort his daughter, so he discussed business matters with Er Niang after saying hello, how the family situation was, how the old man in the south was doing, and so on.The nuns took the two girls out winkingly.

Yao Jing fell asleep as soon as she returned to her room, the body of a child always sleeps more.

When he woke up, the standard father had already left, and Fu Dali and the others also came back.

The days returned to normal, and Er Niang became more and more at ease.Yao Jing's current "homework" is still mainly about learning to speak, but the weight of Manchu is gradually added.

The more you learn, the more confused you become. Bannermen have stewed Chinese and Manchu into a pot of porridge.For example, Ama is dad, which is quite natural in the context of Manchu, but it is necessary to put a Manchu word in Chinese, just like some white-collar workers of foreign companies said "Ann brings the paper" a long time ago, It sounds weird.Although Yao Jing also said "tank", it was for the sake of brevity, which is better than "full armor, a tracked armored combat vehicle with a rotating turret and equipped with artillery, machine guns and other weapons".But what is the purpose of the current chaos?

Shaking his head, he didn't think about it anymore, it would be bad if he thought too much and his mind became muddled.Hegel said that everything that exists is rational, right?
