Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 103 A Fulfilling Maid's Life

There are a total of seven books in this time and space, and although four of them have slightly different names and contents, in Yuan Bao's eyes, they are equivalent to the "Three Character Classics", "Hundred Family Surnames", "Thousand Characters" and "Thousand Characters" in Yuan Bao's eyes. She has been exposed to "Disciple Regulations", even if it is in traditional characters, she can recognize it at all. It tells some basic common sense of life, daily behavior norms and the most commonly used allusions.

The next three books are about antithesis, "sky versus earth, rain versus wind, continent versus sky..."; It selects some poems and prose that are suitable for children to read, all of which are easy to understand, catchy and beautiful.

After studying these seven books, you will be able to recognize more than 3000 commonly used characters, know simple pairs, and be able to write poems and fill in lyrics. No longer illiterate.

The other thing is to practice handwriting. I have to admit that the ancient scholars wrote really good handwriting. If you pick one at random, Yuan Bao will be envious.As for well-written writing, such as Su Chunsheng, in Yuan Bao's opinion, it is completely possible to write copybooks in modern times. However, envy is envy, Yuan Bao has no time to practice. It is too extravagant to delay making money!

Yuan Bao felt that this level of education was equivalent to graduating from elementary school in his previous life, but the school system was different in ancient times, and the subjects studied were few, so the children graduated quite early. Normally speaking, in rural schools, these things are two year course.

Su Chunsheng has already studied these seven books twice, while Su Qiusheng has only studied them once and almost finished them. The two brothers were admitted to the county school by virtue of their knowledge, so Yuan Bao positioned the county school in his heart for a middle school.

After going to middle school, what they study is classics and history books, but it seems to be the most basic classics and history books.

Yuan Bao has learned all these seven books, not in the previous life, but in this life, she thinks it is useful, so she can use it now, and her husband is the Su Brothers, they use the night time, At Yuan Bao's request, I told her a story-telling first, and then learned and practiced the characters. This process lasted for a year and a half.

Yuan Bao was very serious about learning. Of course, her seriousness is what she thinks, not what the Su brothers think. The Su brothers don't know, but after just talking about it, Yuan Bao explained the meaning of these seven books. I completely understood and understood, and all the characters in it were also known in subsequent studies.

You know, Yuan Bao has the soul of an adult, and her comprehension is naturally strong. Besides, she is also a university graduate, and she is still a liberal arts major. She has also studied "University Chinese" and "Writing". It is quite easy to get some elementary school Chinese. Anyway, she just knows, understands, and doesn't memorize anything. No one has tested her yet.

But these seven books are in the hands of Ni Xiaopang, my God, it really took a lot of effort.

Yuan Bao was very suspicious of how long Ni Xiaopang had been studying. Among the seven books, he had never learned more than [-]% of the content, or he had forgotten all of it after learning it. There were difficulties, and Ni Xiaopang's memory and comprehension skills were very problematic. After Yuan Bao told him something, he forgot it within two days.

However, Yuan Bao never criticizes Ni Xiaopang. On the contrary, Yuan Bao always praises him and "worships" him.

If Ni Xiaopang stopped studying, then Yuan Bao's "accompanying reader" would also be "laid off". Thinking that he would never have the opportunity to come to the study and use the things in the study, Yuan Bao felt as uncomfortable as a cat's paw.

Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about the thick piles of tracing red books that Ni Xiaopang “saved up” lazily, that’s more than a dozen taels of silver, and consumables such as paper and ink, all of which are only ingots It is income only when it is used.

Using Ni Xiaopang's stationery to earn his own money every day, this made Yuan Bao a kind of enthusiasm for calligraphy practice from the bottom of his heart. A qualitative leap has taken place.

In fact, it was not only Yuan Bao who made the leap. Under Yuan Bao's persuasion, Ni Xiaopang felt for the first time that reading is actually a very fun thing, and it is not as difficult as he originally imagined. .

Practicing calligraphy is also quite good, allowing him to show off boldly in front of Yuanbao and get a lot of praise.

Yuan Bao felt that Ni Xiaopang was stupid because she didn't make comparisons, or in other words, her comparison object was wrong from the beginning. Ni Xiaopang was one year older than Su Qiusheng, so Yuan Bao unconsciously compared Ni Xiaopang and Su Qiusheng. Compare them together.

And who knows, people as smart as Su Qiusheng are really rare, otherwise, why would Su Chunsheng repeatedly mention Su Qiusheng's talent in reading?Also, how many rich kids like Ni Xiaopang can work as hard as poor students? !In fact, it is not uncommon for dudes from rich families to read books like Ni Xiaopang.

The two children who have what they need don't realize the great achievements they have made in the process of studying without knowing it.

On the third day after sending out Yuan Bao's family letter, he received Su Chunsheng's reply letter and what Yuan Bao wanted. Since then, Yuan Bao will write a letter to Su Chunsheng every month, even if there is nothing important to write in such a letter, It's good to just report that you're safe!
Seeing Yuan Bao keep fiddling with the sewing box, Ni Xiaopang was dissatisfied, "You can't be too busy doing embroidery work to earn money, and stop playing with me!"

Yuan Bao hurriedly assured, "I definitely won't, I only do it while the young master is sleeping." Suddenly, "So you know they do embroidery work in private?" This is not allowed in the rules.

Ni Xiaopang's yard is like a "nursing home", with fewer people and less work. The master and wife are not even exempted from Ni Xiaopang's daily greetings, so Ni Xiaopang does not go out all day, and the waiters The same is true for people. It has become an open secret to do embroidery work in private and sell it when they have nothing to do every day.

"Well," Ni Xiaopang nodded, "I have nothing to reward them. No matter how strict the management is, no one wants to come to my yard. Caifeng can't deduct other people's monthly money, so she has to follow me trouble."

Yuan Bao nodded and smiled, "Young master is right." She only thought of asking her family for these things after she realized this, but Yuan Bao, who has a better income, doesn't want to make money by selling embroidery. , and dangerous, she has her own plans.

At noon on the second day after receiving the things, after serving Ni Xiaopang to sleep, Yuan Bao went to the front yard with his sewing box in his arms. He went to bed early and got up late, and the servants who served him were the same. They didn't need to rest at all. At this time, in a room in the front yard, they were gathering together to do embroidery work.

As soon as Yuan Bao entered the door, there was a burst of laughter, "Hahaha, how come Miss Yuan Bao has time to come to the place where we poor people stay today, and don't try to please and behave in front of the master?" They, especially those rough envoys The girls are still jealous of Yuan Bao.

Xiaohong sighed and said, "I thought you could last a little longer, but I didn't expect you to be unable to bear it until half a month has passed. How about it, you don't have a single penny in the two monthly payments." Didn't you get it?!" The tone was very intimate, but the gloating expression on his face couldn't be hidden.

Yuan Bao blushed, nodded, and glanced around the room, very good, except for Caifeng and the cook, there are quite a few servants in this yard, so her chances of success are even greater, and then she Seemingly attracted by the embroidery in Mama Ni's hands, she rubbed against Mama Ni's side.

Mama Ni is Ni Xiaopang's nanny, and she is also the only mother in charge in this yard. She is in charge of Ni Xiaopang's clothes. From her surname, one can tell that she was given by the master later. Seniority, Caifeng is not in charge of Ni Xiaopang's yard, and Ni Xiaopang told Yuan Bao the reason, "Mother Ni loves little ones."

"Love the little one" is another way of saying that you are greedy for petty gains, and it is also a euphemism for theft and corruption. Even Caifeng's justifiable deduction is better than Mama Ni's. It can be seen that Mama Ni's "love smallness" has reached a certain level to what extent.

But this kind of Mama Ni is more helpful for Yuan Bao to realize her wish. Mama Ni used to be the embroiderer in Ni's mansion, and she is the best embroidery craftsman in Ni Xiaopang's yard. Above Liu Guirong is the person with the highest level of embroidery that Yuan Bao has seen so far.

Mama Ni's man works as an errand in the stables. He is lame and not a shame, but he broke his leg because he was working in the mansion, so he was not kicked out of the mansion because of it, but that's how it will be in this life , Ni’s mother is not very old, she is younger than Liu Guirong, maybe 27 or [-] years old, she has two daughters, the eldest daughter is the same age as Ni Xiaopang, which is why she was able to be Ni Xiaopang’s nanny back then, the youngest daughter She is about the same age as Yuan Bao, and her two daughters have yet to work in the mansion. It can be said that the burden of the family is still quite heavy, and the living conditions among the servants are not very good.

"Hey, everyone around here uses needles and threads to make baskets. Why did Miss Yuanbao take a box, but what treasures are in it that we are afraid to see?" Mother Ni joked when she saw Yuanbao approaching, but her eyes turned mercilessly Yuan Bao looked at the sewing box in his hand.

Yuan Bao really likes to use a sewing box instead of a bamboo basket. This habit was formed in the Su family. The reason is exactly the same as what Ni’s mother guessed. Moreover, what Yuan Bao took today was a new sewing box, which Su Chunsheng gave to him this time. The packaging box for her newly bought embroidery thread, it can be said that this box is for Mama Ni.

Ai Ai Yuanbao said, "No... no, I... want to learn crafts from Mama Ni..."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone curled their lips together, but Xiaohong said bluntly, "Yuanbao, you are really stupid. If you want to learn crafts from Mama Ni, you should ask for your monthly payment from Sister Caifeng." Come back and be filial to Mama Ni!" This is both provocative and true, you know, they all want Mama Ni to give advice, but Mama Ni's advice is not cheap.

Mother Ni smiled and said, "What did Yuan Bao do in those few months..." She thought it was too little, and she opened her mouth too much, but after she only said this sentence, she stopped because Yuan Bao opened her The sewing box, revealing a few strands of shiny embroidery thread.

Yuanbao's box was opened very skillfully. It didn't open all at once, but only opened a gap. The gap was not too big or small, and the direction was facing Mama Ni, so that Mama Ni could see the embroidery thread clearly. It can also block the sight of others.

"Girl Yuanbao, what do you want to learn?" Mama Ni asked after Yuanbao closed the box again, her attitude became obviously serious.

With a confused face, Yuan Bao thought carefully for a while before saying, "Learn... learn acupuncture."

"Ah?" Yuan Bao's words caused everyone to laugh again, "Just learn acupuncture? Then who knows more than a dozen or twenty kinds? Why don't you bother Mama Ni? Yuan Bao, Yuan Bao, don't blame us for not telling you Ah, this embroidery uses more than just stitches..."

This is the truth. In embroidery, stitching is the foundation and an entry-level skill. On top of it, color matching is more important. After seeing the pattern, you will know what kind of stitching to use to express the pattern. .

There are also certain rules for various expression techniques, and they are not random. They incorporate the valuable experience of the predecessors, and also have the innovation of the embroiderer. Otherwise, not only will the embroidery be ruined, but it will also make people laugh and feel that you are very unprofessional , some embroidery types, because of their unique style, its display techniques and specific stitches are secrets.

Don't Yuan Bao understand this?Of course not, but Yuan Bao just doesn't want to learn!

Color matching and patterns are Yuanbao's forte. She can draw patterns by herself, and even create some simple patterns. It's hard to say whether they can be sold for a lot of money, but it's not a problem to complete ordinary embroidery. No.

As for the technique of expression, Yuan Bao had thought about it a long time ago. After she learned how to stitch, she had to figure it out by herself. She wants to become a professional designer, so she doesn't need others to say that she is professional, she just wants to make "pretty" money in an unconventional way.

Yuan Bao looked at the disdainful smiling faces, and was in a daze. Mother Ni had packed up her things quickly, grabbed Yuan Bao and said, "Yuan Bao, come with me!" Pulling Yuan Bao back her house.

Very good, Yuan Bao thought to himself, and obediently followed Mama Ni back to the house.

Mama Ni's house is in the backyard, also in the East Wing, next door to Caifeng.

After entering the door, before she could sit down, Mama Ni said, "Yuan Bao, show me your embroidery thread." She took the sewing box from Yuan Bao's hand and opened it by herself.

Three bundles of embroidery thread are neatly stacked in a corner of the sewing box, except for this one is a needle bag and a Supa tied to the embroidery frame.Mother Ni curled her lips, "What are you doing with just three ties of embroidery thread? How much do you think you have?" But she held the three ties of embroidery thread and refused to let go.

This bundle of embroidery thread costs 150 Wen, has more than 100 colors, and is worth more than 20 taels of silver. She bought it at half the original price, and Yuan Bao felt better now. She didn't believe that Mama Ni, who knew the goods and loved the little ones, would be willing to let her down!
Sure enough, Mother Ni said, "How about this, I will teach you three stitches, and I don't want your reward, so just give me these three bundles of embroidery thread!" She put the embroidery thread into her own needlework basket .

Yuan Bao paused, then let out a scream and began to cry, "Ah—ah——"

Mama Ni didn't expect Yuan Bao's reaction to be so strong, she was frightened, she raised her hand and covered Yuan Bao's mouth, my God, Caifeng is next door, taking a nap, if she heard about this, the embroidery thread It has to be Caifeng's!
After her mouth was covered, Yuan Bao didn't struggle, but just stretched out her hand to Mama Ni. Mama Ni was helpless, she couldn't cover Yuan Bao's mouth forever, so she had to return the embroidery thread to Yuan Bao, and then asked, " what do you really want?"

Yuan Bao's request was very simple. He came to Ni's mother's room at this time every day to learn stitches. He learned five kinds of stitches each time. The reward was a bundle of such embroidery threads. It can be said that the price was very generous.

So when Mama Ni wanted to get more, Yuan Bao didn't talk nonsense at all, she got up and left, how could Mama Ni let her go, just now Yuan Bao said what she wanted to learn in front of everyone, and now she offers such a reward , there must be countless people rushing to teach her!

Mama Ni stopped Yuan Bao, "You seem to be quiet on weekdays, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn. It's alright, alright, let me teach you, but let's talk about it first, I will only teach you once, If you can’t learn it, don’t blame me, if you forget it the next day and ask me to teach it again, it’s considered another lesson.”

Yuan Bao nodded, and said in a soft voice, "Mother Ni said it's bad, not just teach it once, but only once, I will give Mama Ni a reassurance, no matter how difficult these five acupuncture methods are, I will At most one hour per day will be occupied by Mama Ni, otherwise, it will be considered mine, not Mama Ni didn’t teach, now I will tell my mother what I know, don’t go back and teach it again, it can’t be counted as one of the five daily things Yes." Mama Ni knows how to calculate, she is not stupid!
In fact, in the whole process of Mama Ni's teaching, Yuan Bao never completed an hour. Even if Mama Ni had time, she didn't want to waste time!
Since then, Yuan Bao's maid life has become very fulfilling and busy: getting up early for exercise, tutoring Ni Xiaopang while practicing calligraphy in the morning, sewing in the afternoon, and going to bed early at night. She is also growing up now. Time, sleep must be sufficient.

Half a month later, there were repetitions in the acupuncture techniques taught by Mama Ni. Yuan Bao pointed it out immediately. Mama Ni was very surprised, "I really didn't realize that, Yuan Bao, you are so clever!"

　I thought I was a big-hearted person, but after being insulted many times, my temper was still blown out by a comment I just saw!

　　The original text of the comment is as follows: "Many book reviews have been deleted, and most of the remaining ones are good storytellers! There is so much water in the comment area, it's really disgusting!"

　　My reply is as follows: "I did delete the comments with insulting and abusive words, because I really feel that they pollute the environment, and I keep all the badly written discussion articles, even if I read some of them, I feel very hurt!
　　As for some people saying that there are some "babysitters" in my comment area, I firmly refuse to agree, saying that I can, and the readers who support me, I really can't bear it, people spend money to read articles, and they don't owe me anything , Well-intentioned but also being slandered by others, why bother? !
　　I really don't know where some people come from with such serious malice, no matter how good your temper is, you have worn it down!
　　In fact, reading novels is just such a thing, if you want to read it, you can read it, if you don't want to read it, just leave!

　　I am a buyout writer, how many subscriptions, how much the website is priced, it really has nothing to do with me!

　　The text is not well written, I will continue to work hard, but it is also for those who like my text, since you don't like it, you really don't have to waste your time! "
