"mother......"
The county owner Xuexi trotted excitedly, and started shouting before he got to the front.
When Mrs. Shizi heard the voice, she smiled and walked out to catch the little man who was running over.
"Why are you here again, not to accompany your grandmother to rest."
"My grandmother is asleep, so I'm here to accompany my mother, who also needs someone to accompany her."
Mrs. Shizi squeezed her little nose happily, "You little man, you will make me happy!"
"Hey, hey, hey... Mother, are you beautiful? This is a garland I made by myself, one for you and one for my grandmother later." She excitedly held up two garlands to show her mother.
"Look at what I'm wearing on my head, isn't it beautiful? Mrs. Zhou made it up for me. I ran into her again when I just came over, so I asked her to teach me. I made two, you and grandmother One for each person, so that our grandparents and grandchildren will have three generations. We are all reincarnated as flower fairies!"
"Okay, you are so good, and you have learned to weave wreaths, then your grandmother's garden will be lost." Madam Shizi said jokingly.
She laughed: "No, I won't arbitrarily destroy flowers. Mrs. Zhou said that flowers can be folded straight and must be folded, so don't break branches when there are no flowers. But we should also fold properly, flowers and plants also have life. Yes, it is best to choose branches with many flowers, so that it will not affect its beauty, but also make it grow better."
"Oh? That's what Mrs. Zhou said."
Mrs. Shizi unexpectedly glanced at Pei Xiu who was walking slowly, but she didn't expect that she would be able to say these words.
The other ladies present were also surprised when they heard the words of the county owner, and they kept looking at her with curious eyes.
Pei Xiu just came in and didn't hear what the county owner said. Looking at the people who were a little abnormal, she just felt inexplicable.
Or Mrs. Shizi said with a smile, "Has Mrs. Zhou read books?"
"Ah? Yes, I have read a few books on enlightenment." She was a little confused, so she answered honestly.
"Don't get me wrong, I just listened to what Xue Xi said, flowers can be folded straight and must be folded, don't wait to fold empty branches. I thought you should be literate, so I asked casually."
Pei Xiu was stunned and smiled without saying a word.
Madam Yang had just gotten acquainted with Pei Xiu, and she said with interest, "When someone satirized you before, why didn't you say that you can read?"
She rolled her eyes and glanced at Mrs. Lou, who didn't care, "Others love to be a clown, why should I stop her. I don't know how to read, and I don't need to brag about it myself. The fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. It should be known. You will know in time that boasting will only add to the joke."
Mrs. Yang burst out laughing, Mrs. Zhou is also a second person! Insinuating words come at your fingertips, and depending on the situation, she still holds grudges, which is very appetizing to her.
Others also thought this Mrs. Zhou was very interesting.
"Mrs. Zhou's talk is interesting!"
Mrs. Lou, who took pity on the side, was accused by Sang and scolded Huai for mocking her face to face, but no one spoke out to help. What annoyed her was that everyone still found it interesting, which really made her angry and hated!
"In this way, you may recognize more characters than me from the books you read, and I have only read the books on enlightenment and only know a few characters." Mrs. Yang said humbly.
After other people knew that Pei Xiu knew how to read, they also changed a lot about her. A person who can read and write can be respected everywhere, not to mention that she is a peasant woman, which makes people look up to her. Everyone likes to be motivated.
"What are you talking about, I'm so happy." The princess rested for a while, and her spirit seemed much better.
"We are saying that Mrs. Zhou knows the characters, and she is too clumsy without showing her face. We can't underestimate people in the future." Mrs. Shizi took the county head Xuexi to help the princess, and explained to her by the way. down.
After taking the seat, the princess asked interestedly, "What books have you read?"
"I'm ashamed to say that, the court lady only learned a few words when she was enlightened by the boy in the family, and she read the Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Names, Thousand Characters and so on."
"It's already very good, were you still in the country at that time? In such a difficult environment, you still have this self-motivation, which is better than anything else. Can you write?" The princess nodded with satisfaction.
"The situation at home has gotten better in the past two years. I have learned to write, but it's just difficult to make it into the elegant hall." She said modestly.
"It's okay, write a few for me to see. I don't think there are many beautifully written characters here."
The ladies laughed mockingly. Before, they looked down on others, but now they have exposed their abilities much better than you.
Most of the wives here are the wives of military generals, and some are wives of low-level military generals, and their status is actually not much higher than Pei Xiu.
And most people really only read the female ring, or read it when they were in the middle of the boudoir. Now that they are called to memorize, it is estimated that they have almost forgotten. Not to mention writing.
Except when they looked at the ledger when the housekeeper, they probably didn't write a few words.
After the maid prepared the pen and paper, Pei Xiu could only put the duck on the shelf and took a deep breath. Pick up the pen and write: Learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is perilous.
After putting down the pen, the maid handed the paper to the princess.
"Learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is perilous. Well, this is from the Analects, you have even read the Analects, it's really good. The first-hand hairpin is written in small caps and it is neat, this is practice Has it been a while?"
The princess thought that this Mrs. Zhou was really interesting and beyond her surprise. She was born as a rural peasant woman, and she must be in her thirties. I didn't expect that she still had the will to strive for improvement. It should be her husband's first day.
"The kids in the family went to the bookstore and bought me a copybook with hairpins in small script, and I followed the instructions. I practiced for an hour a day for more than half a year."
"Mrs. Zhou's habit is very good. There is no difference in learning morning or evening, regardless of age, regardless of gender."
"The princess is very praised. It's just that she has nothing to do at home every day, so she has been insisting on writing for a while. It is better than sitting, and it can also pass the time."
"Mrs. Zhou doesn't need to be humble, UU reading is a good thing. Reading can understand reason, reason and etiquette, which not only enriches oneself, but also cultivates sentiment. Writing is a good habit when you have nothing to do when you have nothing to do. keep it going."
"Yes, Princess." Pei Xiu nodded with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant, and also let the Princess take a high look.
Seeing that the princess had finished speaking, the head of Xuexi county pulled her sleeve and showed her the garland on the side.
"Grandma, this is a wreath I made by myself. You have one and my mother has one. I also picked peonies and fixed them on it. How beautiful do you think?"
"Beautiful, my good granddaughter is so skillful that she can learn to weave garlands so quickly?"
The princess looked at the colorful garland in front of her, and at the one on the princess's head, she was very happy.
"Then I'll bring it to my grandmother, and my grandmother will become a flower fairy together."
The princess laughed heartily.
