Chapter 31, Boudoir
Early in the morning, after having breakfast in Mrs. Yan’s yard, Daohua, led by Pingtong, walked towards the Deyi Academy where the girls usually attend classes.
Because Wang Man'er just bought it back, she understands many rules and etiquette, so during this time, Mrs. Li still asked Ping Tong to follow Dao Hua and take Wang Man'er by the way.
De Art Academy is said to be a courtyard, but in fact there are only a few rooms. The main room was used as a guest room for the girls to attend classes, and the wing room was where Master Qin lived.
When the rice flower arrived, Yan Yihuan, Yan Yishuang, and Yan Yile had already arrived.
Besides them, there are three other little girls in the guest hall.
The three little girls are all eight or nine years old, one is Xian Cheng’s daughter Li Ke, one is Jiao Yu’s daughter Zhu Xiuyun, and the other is Xian Wei’s daughter Fan Siran.
I don’t know whether these three families are to make a good Yan County magistrate or to study at home, anyway, they all sent their daughters at home.
As soon as Inaka entered the house, the few people who were talking about the trouble immediately shut up, glanced at her all together, and then ignored her as if they had negotiated.
In response, Daohua didn’t move her eyes, glanced at the guest room, and in the last corner, she saw a guest table that was obviously far behind. She walked over and sat down without saying anything, and took the book from Pingtong. Box, said: "Go ahead!"
Pingtong glanced worriedly at Daohua, who looked the same, and then at other people who were clearly isolated Daohua, frowned, and hurried out of the guest hall.
As soon as came out, Ping Tong grabbed Wang Man'er who was waiting outside the house and told him: "Haosheng looked at the girl. The girl came to class on the first day. If there is any discomfort, she immediately reports to the main courtyard."
Wang Man'er didn't know the machine front in the guest hall, but he nodded solemnly.
Inside the room, Yan Yihuan looked at Yan Yishuang who were silent and ignored Daohua. He felt that it was a bit bad to do so. He turned to look at Daohua, who was placing textbooks and pens. He thought for a while and said: " Big sister, your light is not good, come and sit with me!"
Daohua raised her head and glanced at Yan Yihuan, who was about to get up, and smiled: "No, I'm fine sitting here."
Yan Yile immediately answered: “That’s right, the second sister, the eldest sister is the oldest and taller than us. She is just right to sit in the last row.”
Hearing this, several other people bowed their heads and smiled.
At this time, a woman who looked a bit stern in her 30s walked in.
As soon as she came in, Yan Yihuan and the others immediately became regular, and stood up to salute: "See the Master."
Ina Flower, after seeing it, followed suit.
Master Qin glanced at Yan Yihuan and several people, and his eyes stopped on Daohua: "Sit down."
As soon as Daohua sat down, she heard Master Qin shout: "Yan Yiyi."
After a moment, Daohua realized that she was calling her. Yan Yiyi was her name.
"Students have seen the Master!"
Taohua stood up calmly, and bowed down to salute Master Qin.
Master Qin did not ask Daohua to get up immediately, but looked at her calmly for a while.
This eldest girl from the Yan family is really good-looking. Even her favorite Yan Yishuang cannot match her. If she hadn’t known her details early on, she would have thought it was the daughter of a noble family. .
It is no wonder that Yan Yishuang always feels unsure during this period, worrying that her status with Master Yan will not be guaranteed.
With such an excellent sister in front, it’s impossible to think about the pressure.
"Get up!"
Daohua got up and looked at Master Qin calmly.
Seeing that she did not sit down, Master Qin nodded in satisfaction. Although she grew up in the country, she still knows some etiquette: "You just came, and I don't know what you have learned as a teacher, let's talk about it. "
Daohua thought for a while and said: "Hui Master, the three-character classics, the surnames of a hundred families, and the thousand-character essay. The students have all studied, and are now reading four books."
Master Qin glanced at Daohua in surprise, apparently unexpectedly that she had read so many books.
8 and 9-year-old children are the most playful, few can sit still, let alone reading.
During this time, because she had been living in the backyard of the county government, she also heard a lot of news about the Yan family girl, saying that she was a noisy and a little out of control girl.
Such a temperament, can he calm down to study?
Especially the four boring and obscure books.
Master Qin was suspicious and felt that the Yan family was a bit exaggerated. She probably read the four books and then said that she had read it, and she was not honest enough.
Yan Yihuan also looked surprised, especially Yan Yishuang.
Aunt Lin told her that in the countryside, not to mention women, even men have almost no access to books, so she can relax. As long as the eldest sister is in class, she will be compared to her.
But now, she can read more books than her.
Master Qin: "The four books are the books that men can read. Don't read them in the future, so as not to change your temperament. Starting today, I will teach you "Female Commandments", "Female Training", "Female Analects", "Female Fan Jielu"."
Daohua narrowed her eyebrows: "Master, why can't women read the Four Books?"
When Master Qin saw Daohua replied, his face was a bit ugly, but thinking of her identity, he patiently explained: "Women should focus on female red needles and threads, and they should also learn the three obediences and four virtues. You are just a waste of reading those books. time."
After finishing speaking, she waved her hand to signal Daohua to sit down, obviously she didn't want to talk more with her.
Daohua didn't agree with Master Qin's point of view in her heart, but she did not continue to entangle her. She knew that in ancient times, the status of teachers who preached Taoism and education was very high. It is not just a matter of talking.
Although they only studied with Master Qin and did not apprehend the teacher, they could not argue with the teacher at will. If there is a reputation for disrespect of the teacher, no matter why, she must be the one who suffers in the end.
As for what she said not to read the Four Books, she should be deaf to her ears.
"Okay, let's start class."
