Jing Lan went back with Cui Zhu, and then went to meet Shen Wan in the south tower.

Shen Wan asked them what they said when they saw Tang, and what her mother-in-law Tang asked.

Cui Zhu was overjoyed to be rewarded with a silver hairpin, and before Jing Lan could speak, she chattered ahead.

She said that Tang was a good wife with kind eyes and kind eyes, and asked how old she and Jing Land were, how many people there were in the family, and how literate they were.Both she and Jing Lan answered honestly. Once the wife was happy, she rewarded her and Jing Lan. Jing Lan got a pair of silver bracelets, and she got a silver hairpin. beautiful.

After Cui Zhu finished speaking, Shen Wan looked at Jing Lan and asked her, "Is that so?"

Jing Lan nodded, didn't speak, and seemed not very interested.

Seeing Jing Lan like this, Shen Wan guessed that she must be thinking about something again.

She has also seen the rewards the two maids received just now. Jing Lan's pair of twisted silk silver bracelets cost at least five or six taels. almost.But Jing Lan didn't look happy at all, which showed that she didn't think that being rewarded by her mother-in-law was something to be happy about.

What would Jing Lan think of?

Could it be that he doubted again that he was going to give her to Xiao Yulang as his roommate?

The mother-in-law Tang asked Chen's mother to call Jinglan and Cuizhu to meet each other, because she actually thought that she was going to give them to Xiao Yulang as housemates.Mama Xia's strategy worked, and now even the Tang family thinks that Jinglan and Cuizhu were raised as second-class maids by him because he wanted to recruit them to be his confidantes, and let them be Xiao Yulang's roommates to help him stabilize his wife s position.

Hey, if she asked herself how to explain it.

Shen Wan thought, if Jing Lan asked, she would have to explain clearly to Jing Lan today, otherwise Jing Lan would hear from others tomorrow, and she would definitely think that what she said before was a lie to her.

Jing Lan will definitely be angry and sad because of this, and maybe she will do something stupid.

But now to tell Jinglan the truth clearly, Shen Wan thinks it is a bit inappropriate, because she is afraid that Jinglan is young, and if she accidentally leaks her words, her plan will be ruined.

The result of the failed plan is that it is difficult to reconcile and leave, and it is even more difficult to reconcile when the belly grows bigger.Even if they divorced, they would not be able to take their daughter with them, as the daughter would belong to the Xiao family.

Then if Jinglan would not hear the gossip of those people outside, the only way is to let her stay in his south building, or let her stay by his side at any time until the plan is successful.

With a solution, Shen Wan felt relieved, and then let Jing Lan go to the study, while Cui Zhu went back to continue studying with An Chun.

She said to Cui Zhu: "Recently, you can go to the dining hall to eat by yourself, don't wait for An Lan, she must be able to recite and write a thousand characters before going downstairs."

Cui Zhu didn't understand why the master, Shen Wan, Jing Lan, had such strict requirements, he had to force her to write by heart, and she had to be able to write a thousand characters before going downstairs to go back to the house.She thought, if it was her, let alone write it, it might take a year or so to learn a thousand characters.She is usually most afraid of reading the words on the book, and she feels dizzy and sleepy when she sees it.I don't know if Jing Lan will be the same as herself.

Hey, Jing Lan is so miserable.

Cui Zhu gave Jing Lan a few sympathetic glances before stepping back, and stepped back. She was glad that she was not selected by the master to read and write.

Jing Lan couldn't figure out why Shen Wan wanted to grasp her studies herself, and she grasped it very tightly.

Shen Wan asked someone to bring a copy of "Thousand-Character Essay" which Mengtong went to school in the Xiao Family Academy, and said to her: "Let's learn this first, this is the book that Mengtong in the academy reads, you can read it every day." If you can recognize eight characters, you can memorize them, and you can write them. After reading the Thousand Characters, you will know a lot of characters, and we will change to other books when the time comes."

Jing Lan silently counted in her heart, knowing eight people a day, knowing how to memorize and write, it would take more than 120 days for a thousand words, almost four months.It is now March, and after more than four months, it has entered July.If this is according to Shen Wan's intention, wouldn't it be July before she can go downstairs?

Staying in the South Tower for such a long time is really no different from being in jail.

However, Shen Wan underestimated herself too much. As long as she puts her heart into this thousand-character prose, she will be able to meet Shen Wan's requirements in at most six or seven days, not to mention three days. She can recognize, memorize and write.

It's just that Shen Wan said that after learning the thousand-character essay, she had to change to other books. Anyway, she was going to lock her in the study to satisfy her addiction to being a teacher. Why did she work so hard.

Wait until you get tired of staying upstairs, and it's not too late to work hard if you want to go down.

Shen Wan then ordered someone to move an Arhat bed in, spread out the mattress and sheets, find a clean quilt and a pillow, so that Jinglan could rest on it when she was tired from reading and writing.And when Jing Lan is not on duty at night, she sleeps here.As for Jinglan's change of clothes, she also asked the servant girl to bring them for Jinglan.

Seeing this, Jing Lan asked her: "Girl, is it possible that I will take a shower upstairs here too?"

Shen Wan said: "If you want to take a bath, just tell me, and I will ask someone to bring you water and bring you up, and I will also prepare a new tub for you."

Jing Lan pursed her lips, thinking that this Shen Wan seemed really determined to train herself to be her right-hand man, if she couldn't handle the Thousand-Character Essay, don't even think about going downstairs.

So how long will it take me to finish this thousand-character text?

After thinking about it carefully, Jing Lan felt that one month would be enough. No matter how good the environment in the south building is, she couldn't bear to be in this room all the time.The gardens and ponds in the north and south of the Yuanyang House of Xiao's House are very beautiful. She also wants to go to the garden when the weather is fine, and feed the swimming fish by the pond...

Shen Wan finally took away the pair of twisted silk silver bracelets given to Jinglan by the Tang family. She said that Jinglan was young and the bracelet was heavy, and Jinglan couldn't wear it. She took it away and kept it for Jinglan. Return it to Jing Lan when she is older.

Jing Lan didn't like this pair of silver bracelets given by the Tang family at first, and she didn't want to wear them at all. When Shen Wan took them away, she told Shen Wan that she would just give her back five taels of silver ingots in the future, because the pattern of this pair of bracelets Very old-fashioned, I don't like it.

Shen Wan was surprised, she didn't expect Jing Lan to dare to say that, as a gift from the wife of the head of the Xiao family, how could an ordinary maid dare to say that the bracelet was old-fashioned and didn't like to wear it.

However, she was surprised, she liked Jing Lan's attitude very much, because she understood the meaning of this pair of twisted silk silver bracelets that her mother-in-law bestowed on Jing Lan.Seeing this pair of twisted silk silver bracelets, Shen Wan was unhappy, feeling that others were trying to trick Jing Lan.

Jinglan only belongs to her alone, as long as someone covets Jinglan, her desire for monopoly will be aroused, Jinglan will be firmly controlled, and no one will be allowed to get close to Jinglan.

Ever since Jinglan came back from Fuguitang, Shen Wan had been arranging Jinglan's affairs all afternoon, and she didn't arrange everything properly until dinner.

She asked An Chun and An Dong to serve her for dinner, and then took a portion of her meal, and asked the other maids to send it to the study for Jing Lan to eat.

Jing Lan used Shen Wan's red sandalwood book case as a dining table. At least she knew that this book case was expensive and it was not suitable to get oil stains on it, so she went to the wastebasket and took out a few sheets of paper that Shen Wan had written on it.

The maid who brought Jinglan food opened all the windows in the study when Jinglan was eating.After Jing Lan finished her meal, she took away the bowls and chopsticks, and when she came back, she closed all the windows and lit sandalwood in the study.

Jing Lan smiled and said to her, "You don't need to bother, I'm not that particular, and there's no need to burn incense after meals."

The servant girl laughed when she heard the words, and said, "You thought it was for you? I did it for the young mistress. The young mistress doesn't like the smell in the study, especially the smell of food."

"..."

"I heard that my wife likes young mistress to teach you to read and write. Young mistress is more and more interested in you."

"..."

Jing Lan vaguely recalled that Mrs. Tang seemed to have said such things. At that time, Mrs. Tang also said that it was rare for Shen Wan to figure it out and become magnanimous, and she would be blessed in the future.

Could this be another reason for Shen Wan to train herself to be her right-hand man, to win the favor of her mother-in-law Tang.

It's just that Jing Lan still can't figure out what Tang said.

An Chun and An Dong, who were serving Shen Wan's meal in the side hall of the south building outside, were also confused at the moment.Ever since they knew that Mrs. Chen, who was in front of the wife, came to take Jinglan and Cuizhu to the Fugui Hall, and the wife gave Jinglan and Cuizhu jewelry, they were confused.

Didn't Young Mistress say before that she wanted Jing Lan and Cui Zhu to learn from them? No matter how you look at it, it seems that Jing Lan and Cui Zhu are going to be young master Sun's housemates.

Because the wife would not reward maids with jewelry for no reason, even the second-class maids Parrot and Ziyan who had served her for many years had not received such rewards.On the contrary, the Xiao family has an unwritten rule that the mistress of the house will reward the maid who becomes her husband or son's roommate with jewelry.

The Tang family rewarded Jinglan and Cuizhu jewelry, isn't that clearly intended to let Young Master Sun take Jinglan and Cuizhu into his house?

Could it be that this is the real purpose of the young mistress to raise Jinglan and Cuizhu into second-class maids?

When An Chun and An Dong were serving Shen Wan for dinner, they were really hesitant to speak, they wanted to ask, it seemed that this matter was not something they should ask.

The two of them felt that since the young mistress went to Qixia Temple to worship the Buddha, too many things that they could not understand happened, and they had many questions.These questions are more than the sum of their seven or eight years of serving Shen Wan.

The latest incomprehensible thing is that the young mistress detained Jing Lan in the study in the south building to read and write. She also said that if Jing Lan could not know and write all the characters in the thousand-character text, she would not be able to write that thousand-character text. After memorizing the text, Jing Lan couldn't go downstairs.

Moreover, the young mistress also tidied up Jinglan's study, which she had always loved and that no outsiders were allowed to set foot in, to make a simple residence, and even asked people to bring food in for Jinglan to eat.

Is Jing Lan going to rush for the exam?so tight?Or it was because the wife praised the young mistress for teaching Jinglan to read and write, so the young mistress had to act like this to please the wife.

Ever since she married into Xiao's family, Shen Wan never did anything to deliberately please Tang's favor. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was limited to maintaining superficial harmony, and secretly both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law complained a lot about each other.

An Chun and An Dong couldn't figure out the reason why Shen Wan did this anyway, they could only make their minds more and more confused.

After Shen Wan finished her meal, she went straight to the small study on the south building, and while drinking tea, she taught Jing Lan to read the first sentence of the Thousand-Character Classic: The world is mysterious and yellow, and the universe is prehistoric.

Jing Lan could recognize and memorize these eight characters, but in order not to show her true self in front of the strict teacher Shen Wan, she followed Shen Wan and recited them five or six times, and then pointed to the above words and read them one by one.

"Very good. It seems that you will recognize it. Then I will teach you to write. These eight characters are more difficult than the one to ten I taught you before. When I teach you to write, you should be careful." Shen Wan spread a piece of white paper on the red sandalwood desk.

Jing Lan slandered in her heart, obviously you teased me and distracted me, but now you are teaching me that I don't care.If I still teach like that, it will be strange if I can concentrate.

Shen Wan spread another piece of white paper next to the laid out white paper, then called Jing Lan over, handed Jing Lan another pen, and said, "Look, I'm writing on this piece of paper, You just write on the piece of paper in front of you. I write slowly, you memorize the structure of this character, after I finish writing one, you write to me the word I just wrote."

It turned out that Shen Damei also thought it was a bit inappropriate to teach writing like that, but now she changed the method.

But Jing Lan was a little disappointed, in fact, she secretly liked being teased and written by Shen Wan.
