Chapter 59, copybook
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yan Jiaxia gave a New Year greeting to Mrs. Yan.
Everyone said auspicious and pleasant words, and the old lady couldn't close her mouth together.
The old lady Yan looked at the children and grandchildren, her eyes and face were full of smiles.
Although it is more comfortable in my hometown than in Linyi County, the whole family is not able to get together, and the old lady still finds it difficult to conceal melancholy during the New Year holidays.
Now it’s all right. The family is all together. Even if they stumble, they can’t write two characters in a single stroke. They are maintained by a family relationship, and some small conflicts can be broken without attack.
Seeing the old lady so happy, Daohua also smiled all the time. When paying Yan Zhigao's New Year greetings, she followed Yan Wenxiu and Yan Wenkai, and kowtowed her head in a proper manner. Whatever the first two brothers said, she followed.
Not outright, but well-regulated.
Ms. Li watched from the side, feeling relieved and a little distressed at the same time.
She has always known that although her daughter's temper is a little straighter and stubborn, she is still very sensible and well-informed in major matters. As a mother, she can't see her daughter laughing in a strong face.
After looking at the crowd, Madam Li's eyes darkened when Yan Zhigao called over Aunt Lin.
Master's heart is wrong after all!
When Aunt Lin came over, the entire Songhe Courtyard was quiet.
However, on the first day of the new year, everyone is making good luck. No matter what the Yan family thinks, it seems that they are harmonious and happy.
"Brother, why are you following me all the time?"
Daohua looked at her elder brother with a weird face.
Yan Wenxiu looked at the three Aunt Lin, mother and son in the yard. After thinking about it, he said, "Big sister, today is the first day of the Chinese New Year. You can't make any trouble." As Yan's grandson, he has an obligation to persuade him. Younger brother and sister.
Hearing the words, Daohua smiled angrily: "Big Brother, in your eyes, am I a person who makes trouble regardless of occasion?"
Yan Wen repaired silently: "I didn't mean that."
Daohua chuckled, her eldest brother, regardless of the gentleness, in fact, like his dad, in his bones, he regards himself as a scholar, and likes a woman who is knowledgeable and gentle.
This is nothing at all, everyone has their own preferences, but they are surprised to apply this framework to all women, which is very annoying.
Like her, those who resist consciousness a little bit, in their eyes, are the ones who need to be taught and suppressed.
"Brother, if you are worried that I will make trouble, then you don't have to follow me at all, because I really want to make trouble, and it's useless for you to follow me." After speaking, he turned and left.
Looking at the back of the rice flower, Yan Wenxiu frowned.
He cherishes this elder sister, who has not been raised by his parents since he was a child, but this sister’s temperament is a little bit off. In her, there is no such thing as an elder brother like a father, and there is no basic respect for him.
Back and forth, he couldn't remember how many times he had been bumped by her.
"Why can't the big sister be as tender and gentle as Yishuang?"
sighed, Yan Wenxiu immediately turned his attention to the other younger siblings. The fight between Wen Kai and Wen Jie last night can't happen again.
Yan's New Year's Day passed so neither hot nor cold.
Because Yan Zhigao was going to Fucheng to report on his work after the new year, he was busy at the county office early on the third day of the new year.
After the Lantern Festival, the county school began to class, and Master Qin returned to Yan's house on this day.
When he came back, by giving gifts to the rooms, Master Qin learned from Aunt Lin in Shuangxinyuan that Yan Zhigao slapped Daohua severely in front of everyone, and now he still ignores Daohua. .
At that time, Master Qin sneered: "It's not that I said, this girl from the Yan family is really disobedient, and it's okay to confront me in class. Now even her father, the head of the family, doesn't care about it. If she is like this, she should not be corrected properly. If she gets married in the future, the suffering is still to come."
These words were kindly conveyed to Yan Zhigao by Aunt Lin.
Yan Zhigao was silent for a long time after hearing this. After thinking for a while, Aunt Lin called Master Qin, and personally asked her to teach Daohua.
So, on the first day of class after the New Year, Master Qin, who got the "Shangfang Sword", suddenly ‘pop’ when Daohua was painted red, and a ruler hit the back of her hand.
"Ms. Yan, I said, women should copy Madame Wei's graceful and graceful hairpin lower case. Look at what you wrote. The Book Sage's "Lanting Collection Preface" is what you can copy as a woman?"
Daohua looked at the red and swollen ruler marks on the back of her hand, her eyes became cold, and she looked at Master Qin indifferently.
Master Qin frowned when he was seen, and sternly said: "Miss Yan, I was commissioned by Master Yan to teach you. I know that you are a daughter of the county magistrate and have a distinguished status. But now in this class, what am I? Your teacher, should you have the least respect for me?"
Daohua stood up with a ‘huh’, and said coldly: "Teacher? Do you think you are worthy of this status?"
"you"
Master Qin was anxious. Just when he wanted to say something to suppress Daohua, he saw Daohua pick up the paper just copied and told Wang Maner outside the class: "Man, come in and help me clean up the desk."
Daohua sneered and looked at Master Qin: "Give you three points of color, do you really think you can open a dyeing workshop?" After that, she left the class directly.
Master Qin, with a pale face, and Yan Yishuang, who were dumbfounded, were left behind.
Out of class, Daohua did not return to the main courtyard or Songhe courtyard, but went directly to the front yard with the copy of the paper.
In the office of the county magistrate, Xiao Shiye and Lin Shiye are discussing with Yan Zhigao about their trip to the city in a few days.
Yan Zhigao: "Master Xiao, please accompany me with me this time."
Hearing the words, Master Xiao smiled and nodded: "It just so happens that I also want to visit an old friend in Fucheng."
Lin Master was a bit hesitant to say something, he also wanted to go with him, even if he couldn't do anything, it would be good to get to know a few more adults in the officialdom.
Just when he was about to say something, he heard a voice coming from outside the door.
"Big girl!"
"Is your father busy now?"
Yan Zhigao heard Daohua’s voice and looked a little surprised. Thinking of the eldest daughter's intentional or unintentional alienation during this period, he immediately said: "Is it Daohua? Come in!"
Taohua took the copy of the paper and walked into the room with a smile. Seeing that the two masters were there, she immediately said, “If the father is busy, the daughter will come over later.”
Yan Zhigao waved his hand: "It's okay, we have finished talking about what we are going to say, what can you do?"
Daohua put the copied paper on the table in front of Yan Zhigao: "This is my copy of the words written in "The Preface of the Lanting Collection", please let my father have a look."
Yan Zhigao glanced at the eldest daughter. Although he was a little strange in his heart, he still looked at it seriously. After reading it, his eyes were a little brighter: "This is what you wrote?"
Daohua smiled and nodded: “The copybook of "Lanting Collection Preface" was given to me by San Shugong. I have been copying it for two years, and he said that I am suitable for writing running script."
Yan Zhigao nodded: "Well, although the strength of the bowl is still somewhat insufficient, but the pen style is somewhat chic and elegant, that is, the gestures are not tactful and reserved enough, and you need to practice more."
"Big girl, this is a copy of the Preface to the Book Sage's Collection of Orchid Pavilion, and it also gives us palms." Xiao Shiye smiled and stepped forward.
Yan Zhigao smiled and said: "She is a little girl who is practicing and playing, but she can't be regarded as such a boast of Master Xiao."
Master Xiao has taken the copy of the word "Daohua" in his hand and nodded as he read it: "My lord, I think the word "big girl" has been copied so much as the shadow of the master of the book."
Hearing what Xiao Master said, Master Lin also leaned forward and took a look, and then he glanced at Daohua several times.
This Yan family eldest girl, even though she is only nine years old, is indeed a good copy of this character.
Yan Zhigao humbled a few words. At this time, Daohua smiled and asked: "Father, do you think I should practice this font?"
Yan Zhigao nodded without thinking: "Of course, you are doing well, so why do you want to copy in other fonts?"
Daohua shook his head: "It's not what I think, it's Master Qin. When I copied the copybook today, Master Qin felt that I should practice Madam Wei's lower letters of hairpin. No, he gave me a ruler as soon as he came up. No." After speaking, he stretched out his hand.
The red and swollen ruler marks were immediately exposed to the eyes of the three Yan Zhigao.
Daohua: "Father, I have been copying the Preface of the Lanting Collection for two years. I really don’t want to change to other fonts. Mrs. Wei’s hairpin is very good, but it’s not very suitable for my daughter. Father, or else, go and help. Let me tell Master Qin?"
Yan Zhigao's face sank when he saw the ruler marks on the eldest daughter's hand. He asked Master Qin to teach the eldest daughter well, but he didn't let her punish the eldest daughter at will.
This is to let mother and wife know, the backyard is in chaos again.
"I know about this. You should practice or practice the copybook, Master Qin, let me talk about it."
Daohua smiled and nodded: "Thank you father, then I won't disturb my father." After saying that, he saluted the two masters and left quickly.
As soon as Daohua left, Master Xiao smiled and said, "The young masters and young ladies of the grown-up family are all very knowledgeable."
Yan Zhigao smiled: "That's it, my eldest daughter is not good."
Master Xiao’s eyes flickered, and he smiled lightly, “I think the big girl is very smart, and I really can’t learn it. Maybe it’s because I can’t teach as a master.”
Hearing this, Master Lin suddenly raised his head to look at Master Xiao, his eyes were a little dark. Didn’t Master Xiao want to be a nosy person? Why did he start to help Girl Qiyan?
And Yan Zhigao was in deep thought after hearing what Xiao Master said.
On the same day, Yan Zhigao met Master Qin at Shuangxin Courtyard.
Master Qin used Daohua's temperament to escape and not be restrained, saying that if she continues to practice running script, her temperament will definitely become more and more arrogant and arrogant in the future, blocking Yan Zhigao.
Aunt Lin helped to speak, saying that Master Qin did this for the sake of Daohua.
Finally, Yan Zhigao said in a deep voice, “Taohua, you should teach you, but you can’t beat me at every turn. Let’s forget about today’s affairs, and I will ask Master Qin to be patient in the future.”
Master Qin nodded in response.
Aunt Lin gave Master Qin a relieved look, and then motioned her to leave.
That night, Aunt Lin said, she finally let Yan Zhigao calm down.
Just when Master Qin and Aunt Lin thought this was over, the next day, Mrs. Li directly sent a message to Master Qin, saying that Daohua would not be able to take Master Qin's class in the future.
At this time, Master Qin, who didn't think there was anything, panicked.
