There are three desks in the study of Feiyu Pavilion, which are used to teach three children.

"If you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand up. Without etiquette, people can't live. Without etiquette, things can't be accomplished. Without etiquette, the country can't be peaceful." Looking at the three children standing in front of him, Xiao Yunxi's expression was serious. "The enlightenment ceremony, the coming-of-age ceremony, the wedding, and the funeral are the four major ceremonies in life. Today, we will perform the enlightenment ceremony."

"Sister Yuan, although you are a girl, the demeanor of a lady is not only to follow the three obediences and four virtues and to abide by the rules, but also to be well-educated and well-mannered, gentle on the outside and strong on the inside. From now on, you must study and learn etiquette with your two brothers."

After saying this, Xiao Yunxi led the three children to pay respectful tribute to the portrait of Confucius and began the solemn enlightenment ceremony: straightening their clothes, paying homage to the teacher, using cinnabar to open their minds, and beating drums to express their aspirations.

"After the enlightenment ceremony, we will start the first class of the day." Xiao Yunxi picked up the pen and wrote the character "人" (person) on the rice paper.

"The character '人' has two strokes. It looks simple but has profound meaning. The left stroke represents good fortune and the right stroke represents adversity. It is easy to write but difficult to do. I hope you will become a man of integrity in the future."

Xiao Yunxi's voice was gentle and her tone was calm.

Lu Zhan's eyes were full of admiration. His mother was so nice, generous, dignified, gentle, and she had beautiful handwriting.

Lu Ze and Lu Yuan grew up in the countryside and had never seen someone like Xiao Yunxi. They were stunned for a moment.

"That's it for today."

Xiao Yunxi didn't want to talk about something too profound and obscure on the first day, so she waved her hand to Chunxiao and Xiahe to bring over the prepared things, and said, "This is a gift for you to start your education."

When they heard the word "gift", Lu Ze and Lu Yuan's eyes lit up.

Chunxiao and Xiahe placed the things on the table for three people: a set of four treasures of the study and a jade pendant.

"A book, a pen, a piece of paper, and a seal. The path to the mountain of books is made through diligence, and the boat to the boundless sea of ​​learning is made through hard work. May your future be smooth."

Ze Ge'er and Yuan Jie didn't even look at the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, they just picked up the jade pendant, it was so beautiful.

"Thank you for your teachings, mother!" Lu Zhan's eyes warmed up. Today, his mother not only held an enlightenment ceremony, but also gave him gifts. This was the first time he received a gift since he was a child.

Xiao Yunxi smiled faintly at him, then looked at Lu Ze and Lu Yuan, and felt that she had been blind in her previous life and mistook fish eyes for pearls.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly as she looked at the two men who were blinded by money.

Don’t be in a hurry. I’ll give you some sweetness first. I’m going to praise you highly and then push you into hell.

The pain I suffered in my previous life will be taken back doubly from you!

After Lu Zhan returned to his room, he carefully took out the four treasures of the study. The brush was so soft, the ink was so good and had a faint fragrance, and the rice paper was so...

Then take out the jade pendant to admire it, and find a rope to hang it on your body.

Lu Zhan's eyes were a little blurry, and tears dripped onto the back of his hand.

That’s great, I am also a person who is loved by my mother.

Lu Ze and Lu Yuan took the things and ran directly to Lin Wan'er's room.

"Mom, today mother held an enlightenment ceremony for us and also gave us gifts." Lu Ze showed it to Lin Wan'er with a smile.

Mother? Could her children call her that so easily?

Lin Wan'er suppressed her discomfort, glanced at the things, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone? And a jade pendant, and you are so happy?"

"Mother also gave us a lesson. She said that the character '人' has two strokes, a left stroke and a right stroke. It seems simple, but it is the most difficult. She told us to learn how to be a good person before learning other things." Although Yuan Jie'er didn't understand, she still explained it to her mother one sentence at a time.

What does Xiao Yunxi mean by this?! Is she mocking my son and daughter for not being good people?

Lin Wan'er looked at the pile of things, her eyes red with anger, "You've been tired all day, go and have a rest, leave these things here first, and take them later."

After all, Lu Ze and Lu Yuan were still young, and they were really tired after getting up early in the morning to attend classes and perform rituals. They immediately put down their things and went back to their grandmother Ruan to take a nap.

After the child left, Lin Wan'er couldn't hold back any longer, so she threw the things on the ground and cut the rice paper into small pieces with scissors...

Xiao Yunxi, you just know how to reincarnate, right? What's so great about that! Let my son and daughter learn how to be human first!

No matter how capable you are, you still can't get the love of your husband! You have to work hard to raise my children for me!

After a while, Lin Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, and looking at the mess on the ground, she stroked her hair, put away her things, and while no one was looking, she packed them up and threw them into the inconspicuous bushes.

After Lu Jingting returned home from work outside, he thought that today was the first day of enlightenment, so he went directly to Feiyu Pavilion.

"Prince, the princess is taking a nap, what can I do for you?" Chun Xiao stopped Lu Jingting outside the door.

"..."

It’s true that the maid follows her master!

Lu Jingting flicked his sleeves and walked towards Lu Zhan's room.

Seeing Lu Jingting come in, Lu Zhan immediately stood up and saluted, "Father."

This was the first time that Lu Jingting took a close look at his eldest son. He had a straight figure and was well behaved. Hmm, the writing on the table was immature, but it was already beginning to take shape...

Lu Jingting nodded secretly, this kid is really good.

"Today, following the county...what did your mother learn?"

"Father, today mother prepared a gift for us to start learning. She gave each of us a set of four treasures of the study and a jade pendant."

Lu Jingting glanced at him and saw the jade pendant tied to his waist with a rope, "Is this it?"

"Yes."

"Let me see it." Although Lu Zhan was puzzled, he still obediently handed it over with both hands.

Lu Jingting looked at it carefully. This piece of jade was of high quality and exquisitely carved. The word "Zhan" could be vaguely seen on the edge.

"Do all three of you have this gift?"

"Yes. My son heard from Aunt Chunxiao that this jade pendant was specially made by a craftsman asked by mother. It is engraved with auspicious cloud patterns and our names, which means a life of happiness and worry-free life."

Lu Jingting was very surprised when he heard this. This was top-quality Hetian jade, specially supplied to the royal family.

I think it should be a jade artifact bestowed upon Xiao Yunxi by the emperor or the empress dowager, and she then ordered people to transform it into three jade pendants. She really put a lot of thought into it.

Looking at the four treasures of the study on the table, they are all famous products, not ordinary ones...

Lu Jingting thought for a while, handed the jade pendant back, and said in a deep voice: "This is a gift from your mother. You must study hard in the future and don't let her down."

"Yes."

Before Lu Jingting left, he looked back and saw two maids, Chunxiao and Xiahe, blocking the door. They seemed to be afraid that he would go back and disturb their princess's lunch break...

He sighed and walked towards Shou'an Hall with a heavy heart.

"Ouch! Who the hell threw something and made me fall? It hurts so much!" The woman who was sweeping the grass was working and accidentally fell down.

Seeing that Lu Jingting looked unhappy, the servant immediately scolded him, "You bastard, how can you be so rude in front of the prince!"

"Please forgive me, my lord. I don't know who threw things on the grass. Look." The old woman immediately knelt down and pointed at the pile of things under her feet and cried out for justice.

Lu Jingting looked down and saw an inkstone with a missing corner, torn paper, a pen in two pieces, and a broken jade pendant...

He ordered the servant with a sullen face, "Go and fetch the broken jade pendant."

The servant hurried over, collected all the broken pieces of jade and brought them to Lu Jingting.

Lu Jingting looked at the vaguely visible characters "Ze" and "Yuan" on the two fragments, and his anger rose.

He knew that no matter how much Lu Ze and Lu Yuan disliked these things, they would just put them aside and not touch them.

Only her, Lin Wan'er!

Lu Jingting took a deep breath and said, "Go pack up the things here and go back to the study!"
