Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber

The color screen didn't come back until almost noon, and when he came back, his face was not very good, probably because he hit a wall with Xiren.

Speaking of which, Xichun also admires the color screen, no matter how hard she suffers from Xiren Qingwen and the others, she can always calm down quickly and continue to be courteous.

When the color screen came back, Xichun was sitting on the bed studying with Jiang's mother.

Mother Jiang: "Abstain from extravagance."

Xichun: "Abstain from extravagance."

Mother Jiang: "It must come before thrift."

Xichun: "It must be prior to thrift."

……

Mother Jiang had planned to teach Xichun to read and write a long time ago. After all, when she was young with Xichun's mother, both men and women were enlightened at the age of three in the mansion, and she started to read the Thousand Character Classic and Three Character Classics very early. You have to wait until you are five years old to be enlightened.

Now that Yingchun is old enough to go to school, Tanchun is a little older, but Aunt Zhao whispered in Jia Zheng's ear, so she went too, leaving Xichun alone.

Thinking that Xichun would have to wait two years to study, Jiang's mother was a little anxious, so she planned to teach Xichun to read a few words in advance, so that when Xichun entered the school, she would learn faster, so that she would not be left behind too badly.

Jiang's mother originally wanted to teach Xichun to read the Thousand-Character Classic and the Three-Character Classic. After all, these are enlightenment books certified by scholars, but she couldn't read them all. How to teach Xichun? Yes, she is familiar with all these.

Xichun: ...

Xichun really wants to say that Mother Jiang is overthinking, even if I go to school, nothing will happen, not to mention that she is just learning, how can everyone compare her with Yingchun and the others, just say Mother Jia, you know, Jia The mother's standard for them is not to be blind. With such a standard, how can the invited wife care about them?Among other things, Yingchun and the others have been going to school for two or three months, and she has never seen them practice calligraphy!

Once, Jiang's mother secretly inquired about the situation of the school, and only then did she know that Yingchun and the others were taught to write a few words by the master in class.

The master actually said that Yingchun and the others can practice the calligraphy they learned today after school, or find a copybook and practice it in front of them.

But Mrs. Wang didn't prepare these for Yingchun and the others, she only reasoned that they were small and their wrists were weak, so wait.

So the master also understood, and no longer mentioned these words.

Xichun felt that according to Mrs. Wang's style, she probably would wait until she had entered school before preparing these for Yingchun and the others.

As soon as Caiping entered the room, he said with a smile: "Miss Si is really smart, I heard that she didn't miss a single sentence."

Xichun and Jiang's mother ignored her. Seeing that they didn't respond, Caiping was not embarrassed, and said with a smile, "Where did Ruhua go? Why didn't you wait on me?" Then he picked up the teapot on the table, "I'm going to burn it. Bring some water, Miss Fourth will have something to drink when she gets thirsty later."

After a while, Ru Hua ran in, "Mother Jiang, Mother Qin on the second door said that she is ready."

Jiang's mother nodded, picked up Xichun, and straightened her clothes again, "Okay, you take your things, we'll go right away."

Ru Hua agreed, and went to get the package he had packed before.

Color Screen came in carrying water, saw this scene and asked with a smile: "What's the matter? It's packing and it's a second door. Who wants to go out?"

Jiang's mother picked up Xichun and walked out, "I forgot to tell you that Miss Four is going back to Ningguo Mansion to celebrate her father's birthday today, so you stay here and take good care of the house."

Caiping's face changed in an instant. Jiang's mother's words were extremely blunt, clearly she was hitting her, and she was only told about such a big thing now, which meant that she had been excluded from Xichun's place.

Caiping's face changed a few times before he got better, and smiled at Jiang's mother: "Don't worry, mother, I will take good care of Fourth Miss's room, and I will wait here for mother to come back."

Xichun lay on Jiang's mother's shoulder and looked at the color screen, always feeling that something was wrong.

Mother Jiang brought Xichun and Ruhua to the second gate, and saw a man in his twenties dressed as a servant waiting there, and a green silk cart pulled by mules was parked beside him.

Seeing Xichun, the man saluted and said, "Little Xiliu, I have met Fourth Miss."

Mother Jiang said lightly: "Get up."

Ruhua also stepped forward with a sweet smile and said, "Brother Xiliu is good, I will trouble you today." As he spoke, he stuffed a purse into Xiliu's hand.

The purse was mass-produced by Jiang's mother, without any embroidery, and it contained five or six large coins, not too much, not too little.

As soon as Xiliu picked up the purse, he weighed how much money he had, and the smile on his face became more sincere. While putting the purse in his arms, he turned sideways to avoid the salute of the painting, "Girl, you are welcome, this is the duty of a slave." .”

Then Xiliu took out a small boxy stool from the car and placed it on the ground, "Mom, please get in the car."

Jiang's mother hugged Xichun and got into the carriage, and Ruhua followed, then Xiliu put away the stool, rushed into the carriage and said, "Mom, please sit still."

Xichun grabbed Mama Jiang's clothes tightly.

Mother Jiang smiled and comforted Xichun, "Sister Xi, don't be afraid."

Entering the painting was also grinning, "Miss Fourth is still the first car."

Xichun: ...

Well, she was scared, what's wrong?This ancient car didn't have any shock absorbers, so when it started running, it would probably make her stomach pop out.

However, Xichun obviously worried too much, Xiliu was just leading the mule forward, and he only felt a slight shake in the car.

Xichun was relieved when she realized it, but at the same time felt a little silly.

Seeing that Xichun was not afraid anymore, Jiang's mother felt relieved. If Xichun became afraid and started crying, it would be bad.

The mule was led by Xiliu at a very slow pace, Xichun soon became impatient and always wanted to open the curtain to look outside.

Finding that Xichun always wants to open the curtain of the car while others are not paying attention, Ruhua and Jiang's mother always stop it quickly.

Jiang's mother simply hugged Xichun's hand, "Sister Xi is bored? Shall we study?"

Xichun turned her head and did not speak.

Ruhua also took out a small piece of silk thread from his bosom, "Then how about Ruhua to play with Miss Fourth?"

Xichun turned her head back again, "Outside."

Jiang's mother coaxed: "You can't look outside, but sister Xi bears with it, we will be there soon."

Xichun: ...you have said this several times!

Finally, the car stopped, and Xi Liu said to the car: "Miss Si, Mother Jiang, the Ningguo Mansion is here."

A woman also smiled and said, "Miss Fourth, please get out of the car." After speaking, she helped to lift the curtain of the car.

Jiang's mother hugged Xichun and got out of the car. The mother-in-law looked at Xichun and said with a smile: "This is the fourth lady, ouch, why does she look so good, like the virgin in front of the Bodhisattva."

Jiang's mother glanced at the woman's clothes, and noticed the jewelry on her hands, ears, and head, and there was a little maid following behind her, so she knew that she was a person with status.

The little maid grabbed some money and gave it to Xiliu, "I'm going to trouble brother today."

Xiliu didn't expect to get the money twice today, a smile burst on his face, and he said repeatedly: "Don't bother, don't bother." He happily led the mule cart away.

Jiang's mother looked away, and replied with a smile: "This is Miss Si, I don't know what mother calls her?"

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "My husband's family name is Yuan. Sister Jiang just call me Yuan Er's family. Now I serve in front of Grandma."

Grandma, that is Youshi.

Jiang's mother shook her head and smiled, "How good this is, I should call Sister Yuan." She made another gesture towards Ruhua, and Ruhua took out a purse from her pocket, which was beautifully embroidered and contained the most money. .

With a smile on his face, Ru Hua respectfully called Mama Yuan, but stuffed the purse in his hand.

Jiang's mother smiled and said, "I came here in a hurry today, don't be disgusted by sister Yuan."

Mama Yuan took the purse, "How could that be?" Then she looked at the painting and said, "Who is this child? It looks familiar to me."

Enter the painting and salute, "The name of the servant girl enters the painting."

Jiang's mother smiled and said: "She is the youngest daughter of the Yan family who manages the flowers and plants in the mansion."

Mama Yuan clapped her hands and said, "No wonder I look so familiar."

Jiang's mother said: "This child follows me to take care of Miss Fourth, and it is rare to see his family all year round. I hope that Yuan's mother will make it easier for me."

Mother Yuan said: "It's natural." Then she said to the little girl in front of her: "Take your little sister into the painting to find seriousness in the ancestral hall."

Ancestral hall?

Xichun was surprised, and Ruhua and Jiang's mother were also puzzled.

Perhaps seeing their doubts, Mama Yuan explained: "A few days ago, the Yan family was transferred to guard the ancestral hall."

Mama Jiang and Ruhua's expressions immediately changed. The work of guarding the ancestral hall was tiring and hard work, and the Yan family was obviously assigned!

But it's hard to say anything now, so Ruhua left with the maid.

Mama Yuan took Mama Jiang inside again, talking non-stop along the way.

"Our grandma was overjoyed when she heard that Miss Si was coming back. If she hadn't been busy celebrating the old man's birthday these days, she would have come to pick her up in person."

"I also personally ordered the chef to prepare food suitable for children, and I went through it one by one, and asked the kitchen to set aside a few people to prepare it. When the time comes, if you open your mouth here, you will be able to serve it over there." Grandma also said It can't be hot or cold anymore, and there are also a bunch of toys for children..."

Mother Jiang listened with a smile, without saying a word.

Xichun didn't feel anything when she heard these words, if she really wanted to be like Yuan's mother said, why didn't You Shi come to ask herself all year round.

Mama Yuan kept talking until she entered the courtyard, and a servant girl raised the curtain, "Mom is back, Grandma has already mentioned it several times."

Mama Yuan smiled and led Mama Jiang into the house.

In the room, a woman in a purple dress stood up when she saw them.

Mama Yuan saluted the other party, "Grandma, Miss Fourth is here."

Mother Jiang put Xichun down, and saluted herself: "My servant Jiang Yun has seen Grandma, please greet Grandma."

Xichun also bowed and said, "Xichun, sister-in-law, please be well."

Youshi quickly said: "Get up, get up." He picked up Xichun again, looked at her carefully, and said, "Your younger sister looks really good, very similar to your brother."

Xichun: ...
