New Dream of Red Mansions

"Youzi said: 'Faith is close to righteousness, and words can be repeated; tribute is close to propriety, and far from shame. Because you don't criticize your relatives, you can still be a family.' Recite this sentence, and then translate it well. Sister tomorrow It needs to be checked." After Wang Xiyan simply assigned brother You homework, she went to the back to do sewing with Daiyu.

Daiyu was sitting under the tree basking in the sun while doing needlework, when she came out she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Ms. get out of class is over."

Wang Xiyan took a pair of needles and threads that Dongmei handed over, and said with a smile, "If I were a female husband, wouldn't you be a female doctor?"

Although Wang Xiyan was a teacher in her previous life, she taught history, and her knowledge of literature is very average. Moreover, no matter how good a high school Chinese teacher is, she is not good enough in front of Lin Daiyu, right?

At least the high school teachers she knew in the past couldn't memorize all three hundred Tang poems, and even the big history books couldn't bother her.

"How is my sister feeling these days?"

"It's much better. I don't feel as tight as before in the past few days."

Seeing that Lin Daiyu's face turned slightly better, Wang Xiyan was relieved, "Since my sister feels much better, I'd better not take that ginseng Yangrong pill in the future. It's just some common medicinal materials with a little ginseng added, but I still take it with just a little bit of it." There are so many pills, the effect is not obvious, the most important thing is that you are weak, it is better not to use these tonic medicines, like Brother Yu, I dare not give him these things."

"This world pays attention to the harmony of yin and yang, and food tonic is the key to conditioning. Instead of taking medicine, it is better to start from daily life, which is healthy and effective." It is still the first month, and the weather is still very cold. In addition to paying respects to people in the house, I don't go out once a day, but there is a charcoal fire in the house.

Naturally, Wang Xiyan would not let Daiyu and Brother You go out when it was still cold, but after lunch break every day, the sun was at its best, and when the earth was warm again, Wang Xiyan would drag them out to bask in the sun , There are many benefits to basking in the sun.

Wang Xiyan continued to instruct: "Your stomach is delicate now, and it may not be used to other food supplements. First feed it with bird's nest and slowly recuperate it. You are now taking some medicinal food and doing some exercise. Even if you can't compare to ordinary people, But it’s not that weak.”

Lin Daiyu smiled wryly, "I'm just a guest, and my ancestors just cared a little more. Those people just made irresponsible remarks. If they make more demands, they will even say that I don't know what to do."

Wang Xiyan frowned, "Uncle Lin is a member of the third rank at the time, and your Lin family is from a noble family. Do you still look at their faces? Although I don't know much, I used to deal with things with my father when I was at home. Uncle Lin I love you so much, I will never allow people to misunderstand you like this."

Lin Daiyu was silent for a moment, why didn't she know?It's just that Jia's house doesn't say, so she wants to jump out and distinguish with some servants?So what has she become?Fortunately, her father gave her a lot of money at that time, even if the mansion couldn't take care of it for a while, she still had some turnover.

The two stopped talking, but sat and sewed quietly, and Lin Daiyu gave pointers to Wang Xiyan from time to time.

The heat of the sun weakened, and Wang Xiyan was afraid that it would not be beautiful to wait for the residual heat to rush up into the body, so she took Lin Daiyu back to the room. Before the two of them sat down to drink tea, there were hurried footsteps coming, and the visitor stopped in front of the room. Stepping forward, he bowed and said, "You two sisters, I'm back from school, can you let me in?"

"Come in." Wang Xiyan said amusedly, "You've learned to behave yourself, you just came in after asking."

Baoyu laughed and said, "If I'm not good, I'm afraid my sister will drive me away."

Daiyu looked at him up and down for a while, and concluded: "He must not have gone to school well today, he has gone off somewhere, and now he knows to come back, don't get into trouble and ask us to take care of it?"

Baoyu smiled embarrassedly, and hid his dirty sleeves behind his back.

Daiyu hated iron for being weak, "You, you can't even compare with Brother Yu."

Wang Xiyan smiled, turned around and went to Brother You's study to see him.

Baoyu asked: "Brother Yu is still studying now? It's too hard, how old is he?" Rolling his eyes, he smiled and said: "It's boring for him to learn by himself, why don't I talk to my ancestors about it?" Let him go to the homeschool with me?"

Wang Xiyan, who walked to the door, turned around with a "huh" and looked at Jia Baoyu with sharp eyes, which startled him. Wang Xiyan restrained slightly, but still looked at him fiercely and said, "Second Brother Xie Bao is kind, but Brother You I'm not in good health and I'm still in filial piety, I really don't want Brother Yu to go out, I'll tell you when Brother Yu is in better health and wants to go to home school."

The family education of the Jia family gathered almost all the unworthy descendants of the Jia family. Wang Xiyan did not have the ability to educate brother Yu to become a talent under such conditions, so Wang Xiyan never thought of letting brother Yu go to the Jia family to learn. .

It's just that Wang Xiyan doesn't want to, it doesn't mean that others won't mention it, Wang Xiyan lowered her eyes, it seems that it's time to find a husband for Brother Yu.

Lin Daiyu has always been sensitive, and almost felt the difference the moment Wang Xiyan turned her head. She gave her a strange look, but didn't ask her.

At this time Tanchun and the others also came over, with excitement that had not faded on their faces, "Good news, I just came from Sister Feng. This year, our ancestors invited an extra female gentleman to teach us the four arts, saying There will be classes after the first month, so I have something to do now."

Daiyu asked, "But it's settled?"

"It's true."

Daiyu couldn't help being happy too.

But Wang Xiyan couldn't help worrying, "My piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all different, so don't be laughed at by the sisters now?"

Yingchun laughed and said: "You are used to being humble. I think you are better than our female master when you give Brother Yu a lesson. Who else would?"

"I didn't lie to my sisters. I only know a little from these books. I can't play the piano and draw pictures again."

Baoyu was jealous and resentful, "I can't drink my sisters to study together."

"What's so difficult about this?" Wang Xiyan looked him up and down, and said, "If you dare to wear a skirt, Mister will accept you."

The sisters looked at Jia Baoyu, who had a ruddy complexion, red lips and white teeth, and bent over with a smile. Tanchun pushed him, "Go and wear it for us to see, maybe it is even more beautiful than our sisters."

Several people were making a fuss, but Brother Yu found it by himself. He was small, but everyone's voice was loud. He yelled twice and found that no one found him, so he ran over to hold Xichun wronged, and said with a pout: " Why are they ignoring me?"

Xichun was still young, so she didn't understand the jokes of the crowd, so she shook her head blankly, "Are you still studying these days? What's so interesting about it?"

"Yes, you come with me. Two days ago, my sister asked someone to make some wooden toys for me. It was fun. Come, I will give you some."

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Xichun and Brother Yu went out again.

The two children didn't notice, Wang Xiyan turned her head and watched them leave with a smile.

Several people went to pay respects to Mrs. Jia, and Mrs. Jia fulfilled the matter of inviting Mr., looked at the children chattering all over the room, and said with a smile: "You have to learn from Mr., and don't want you to become talented women, but don't let me go." It makes people laugh." Mother Jia looked at Wang Xiyan and asked with concern: "Sister Yan, if you don't understand anything, just ask you Sister Lin and your third sister, they know more, don't let them know because of fear." Don't learn if you lose face."

It's no wonder that Jia's mother specifically instructed that the education of the Wang family is that girls do not need to read and write. They only start housekeeping with their mother when they reach the age of eight, as long as they can understand the account book.

Before Wang Xiyan had time to say anything, Wang Xifeng laughed and said, "Don't underestimate my sister, my ancestor, she is no worse than Miss Lin."

"Oh?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Wang Xifeng pulled Wang Xiyan to laugh and said, "Our Miss Lin is taught by a Tanhua father, so she is naturally versatile, but our younger sister also has a No. [-] father. She has been with her uncle since she was a child. Even Brother Yu is enlightened by her now."

Wang Xiyan knew that Jia's mother didn't value women's talents. Each of the Jia family's four springs chose only one to study. When Daiyu first entered the mansion, she only said that she knew a few words. big?

"Sister Feng made fun of me again. I'm only a few years old, and I've only read the Analects. When it comes to teaching Brother Yu, I just read it to Brother Yu with the notes left by my father, so that people can be enlightened. Then Baoyu, who is studying outside, can go to the academy to become a doctor? I heard that Baoyu has written several poems, even the masters of the family are boasting."

Jia Mu, who had been careless, laughed quickly when she heard this, pulled Baoyu and said, "That's right, you can't just tease your sister casually, lest she turn her head and won't let you in again. Baoyu has been praised, so why don't you tell grandma?" Say? Let me and your mother have fun too."

The topic was changed, Wang Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng also looked at her with bright eyes, pinched her cheeks with both hands, and whispered: "You ghost, I won't embarrass you, but you'd better not let my mother meet you in the future, or she will get angry , your life is not easy."

Wang Xiyan understood in a moment, it seems that Zheng suspected that she designed the Jin family, and the Wang family became the laughing stock of the capital, which made Wang Xifeng suffer, which made Wang Xifeng trouble herself.

Wang Xiyan thought about it, and she seemed to be not honest enough about this matter. If it wasn't for the prince's position and power, and her husband's family being unscrupulous, they would have divorced the daughter of the Wang family based on this.
