Ordinary clear day

Chapter 11 Learning
All questions seem to be answered only from history books or elders.But Shu Ning is not idiot enough to let a two-year-old girl ask her father such profound questions.The halo of genius may be dazzling, but she has no interest in wearing this halo on her head.And if she's too talented, maybe Mrs. Tong will regard her as a ghost. After all, the incident with the Fucha family boy has just passed away not long ago.If you want to read history books, it's too early for her age, not to mention she hasn't enlightened yet.Although the family allowed her to wander around the house, if she really wanted to go to the study alone, someone would come in a short while—who cares about her being a little doll wandering around there.Even if she wasn't afraid of being hit by the book, she still had to worry about whether she would get ink on the book.

In order to solve this problem, Shuning decided: she must first learn to read, and then study hard.Only when her knowledge is enough to make people think that it is normal for her to read history books, will it not arouse other people's doubts.

Although she really wanted to know the answer, she had already come, and no matter what world it was, she couldn't go back, so she had no choice but to settle down when she came, and make peace with whatever happened.

It has been several months since Duan Ning took classes with Mr. Ding, and his homework has naturally improved a lot compared to before.But he has a childish nature, so he is playful.It was one thing to study in his own home, and quite another to go to school in the dark every day, and now he didn't even have time to play with his friends.If you are not serious in class, the teacher will hit the board.His father had instructed him to discipline him severely, and his father would check his homework every few days, so there was no chance for him to be lazy.Under such high pressure, although Duanning has indeed made progress, he also developed a rebellious heart. As long as everything meets the requirements, he does not want to do better. Therefore, his homework has only been at the middle or lower level for a long time, but he does not plan to work harder. up.

Duanning came back from school that day, it was still early in the day, he stayed in the room to read, and it took a quarter of an hour to turn a page, but his eyes looked out of the window more.Just when he was bored, he suddenly saw his younger sister Shu Ning staggering in, stretching out her little hand and smiling at him: "Brother, brother~~"

Duanning smiled, and hugged Shuning: "Why did you come to see brother? I haven't played with you for a long time."

"What is brother doing?"

"I'm doing my homework and I'm reading a book." Duan Ning hugged his sister and sat back on the seat, pointing to the books and papers on the table for her to see.

"Good point, just hit the door." Shu Ning thought to herself.She pointed to a word on the paper and asked, "Is this a word? What is it?"

"This is the word 'far', which means a place far, far away."

"What about this?"

"This is the word 'also'."

"This, what about this?"

……

Duan Ning was surprised to find that the little sister who was only over two years old was very smart, no matter what the word was, she could remember it once she was taught it.Twice he read the white characters, but was actually corrected by his sister.This is really embarrassing!He is seven years old, but he is not as good as a three-year-old girl? ! ! !What a shame! ! !He decided to work hard, and he must never be pointed out by his sister that he read white characters! ! !
Children are simple-minded, Duanning, a real child, was easily caught by Shuning, a Xibei. Not only did he teach his younger sister to read and write after school every day, but he also learned to read more seriously.The white characters that occasionally appeared in the past have never appeared again, and I have gradually become familiar with the famous classics and history taught by my husband. Although it is not very good, it can be regarded as a leap forward compared to the original grades that barely passed the test progress.Zhang Bao was very pleased to hear the praise from Mr. Ding several times.Going home and telling Tong Shi, she was so happy that she made an exception and made a big table of delicious food to comfort her son who had worked hard in studying.

The matter of Duanning teaching his younger sister to read and write was exposed in less than a month.Fortunately, Zhang Bao and Tong Shi didn't stop him. They just handed over this task to Tong Shi in order not to increase Duan Ning's academic burden.

What Duanning originally taught Shuning was his own homework, which was "The Analects of Confucius".But when Tong took over the coach, he started from "San Zi Jing" and "Hundred Surnames".Shu Ning had learned this in her previous life, but she was depressed, she still had to obediently learn it all over again.Fortunately, she learned quickly, and it didn't take long for Tong to teach her to write some simple Chinese characters.

A big event happened in the summer of this year—the queen died.The Tong family and the newly-appointed queen are sisters of the same clan, and they often met each other when they were young, so they were sad for several days.Due to the national mourning, all families with titles will be prohibited from marrying within the next three months, and banquets will be prohibited within one year. The ring boy orders.The Earl's Mansion is no exception, and has suddenly increased its manpower.The sufficient manpower made Ermo useless, so she was about to be sent back to Fengtian again.

On the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival, it's time to send gifts back to Beijing.Although there is no need to make a fuss during the national mourning period, etiquette is still indispensable. Tong's frugality spent a month, collecting a carload of things for Changfu to send back to the capital.When Changfu returned to Fengtian, he brought Ermo back, and along the way, there was also a man in his 30s named Cheng Kun.But he is not the big traitor described by Mr. Jin Yong, but a veteran of the green battalion - the teacher sent by the Earl's Mansion to teach Xiao Duanning as a riding and archery instructor.

This made Duan Ning very happy.He finally no longer needs to sit at the desk all day long and read the Four Books and Five Classics to practice big characters.With Zhang Bao's order, he can ride a horse outside for half an hour every day when he comes back from school.When he gets older, the time will be longer, and he will have the opportunity to learn archery, swords and guns and hunting.How could this not excite him?
Although this teacher Cheng Kun is a little taciturn and has a limp in his legs, he seems a little downcast and unreliable, but he really has real skills.It goes without saying that he is good at riding, he has only been here for less than ten days, and even General Sheng Jing knows that Zhang Bao's family has a good equestrian.In addition, he is also very good at archery, such as piercing Yang with a hundred steps, piercing copper coins with a hundred steps, etc. What is rare is that he can shoot three times, five times in a row, and even hit hearts.How did the Earl's Palace find such a master?

Cheng Kun didn't like to talk, but he couldn't bear to be harassed by others, so he finally revealed a little bit, and with the news from several new Huitun bannermen, others finally knew his origin.

It turned out that he was a small officer in the green battalion in the suburbs of Beijing. Because of his high skills, he had become general manager, but he was upright by nature, he couldn't please his superiors, and he was strict with his subordinates, so he was quite excluded in the army.

Last autumn, when he went out to do some business, he saw a father and daughter who were singing singers being bullied by the sons of the rich and powerful, so he stepped forward to save them.Unexpectedly, the father and daughter fled quickly as soon as they got away, and the gang of rich and powerful children lost their beauties and took revenge on him.After returning to the camp, not only did his boss not stand up for him, but he also complained that he was meddling in his own business.Because no one cared about him, he realized how much he had failed in life in the past, so he felt disheartened.

He was seriously injured, and after his broken leg was brought back, he was still a little lame. His superiors thought that he could no longer be an officer, so they gave him severance money and asked him to fend for himself, but took his lack as a favor.All his savings have been used to pay for medical expenses, so what can a few taels of severance money do?Fortunately, there was a former fellow from the same country who assisted him as a guarantor, and he was famous in the past, so he was able to enter the Earl's Mansion as a riding and archery master.But his character is still as straightforward as before, and he is excluded everywhere.This time the third master Zhang Bao wrote back to Beijing asking to find a master for his son. Everyone regarded it as a hard job. They were afraid that if he went to Fengtian and followed the third master who couldn't get ahead, he would have no future, so no one dared to answer. , and finally pushed Cheng Kun up to be taken advantage of.

Knowing this, Zhang Bao admired him a little bit, and sympathized with his experience, so he was very polite to him, and told the whole family not to neglect Master Cheng.

Cheng Kun originally thought that he would suffer when he came here, but unexpectedly, the job is very easy, and the master's family is also very kind, and the servants don't exclude him, so he feels more comfortable than in the past in Beijing.He was grateful in his heart, so he put all his energy into teaching Young Master Duanning and tortured him enough.

Ermo's return did not worry Tong.Today is different from the past. In the past half a year, the children have grown up by her side, and the daughter has learned to understand things. She no longer needs to be taken care of all the time like before. Even if the Ermo comes back now, there is no need to worry that she will take away the children. Therefore, when facing Ermo, Tong's face is much more pleasant than before.

On the contrary, Ermo was rather haggard, but at about 30 years old, her original black silk had a few wisps of silver and white, which surprised Tong and asked her what was the matter.Ermo's eyes turned red, and she whimpered and explained the reason.

It turned out that her little daughter was weak and sickly since she was a child. Although she had her biological mother to take care of her, she still died in June.Ermo had been separated from her daughter since she was one month old, and she didn't see her again until last year's New Year's Eve. They had only been together for half a year, and they were separated forever.

Tong was very sad when she heard her talk, and she was also a mother, so she couldn't help but shed a few tears, and comforted her softly: "Don't be too sad, she is a good child, God will bless her to be reborn into a good family , maybe how to enjoy happiness in the next life.”

Ermo cried and knelt down to Mrs. Tong: "Thank you for your words, Third Grandma. If you hadn't been kind enough to let the servant girl go back to reunite with her family, the servant girl might not be able to see her daughter for the last time. Now not only can I send her off for the last time, but I have been with her for half a year. This servant will never forget grandma's great kindness in this life, and will repay you even if she is a cow or a horse."

Mrs. Tong hurriedly helped her up, and asked Xiaotao to twist a handkerchief to wipe her face, and said, "There is no need to do such a big gift, I know you are a reliable person. From now on, you can stay here with peace of mind. I will let you give a new year's gift every year." Go back, when your son is older, someone will transfer him to our side, okay?"

Ermo was overjoyed at what she said, and quickly knelt down again.Mrs. Tong helped her up, comforted her a few more words, and then asked someone to call for Shuning.

Shuning came to the upper room and saw Ermo, she was stunned for a moment, wanted to call someone, but held back, glanced at Tong Shi, saw her smile faintly, and asked: "Do you know who she is?" ?" Shuning thought for a while, and said cautiously: "Looks familiar, I'm afraid I've misunderstood." Ermo hurried up to hug her: "Little Niuniu, don't you remember me? It's Ermo." She looked at Shuning, Thinking of her dead daughter, her eyes are full of love.Shuning glanced at Mrs. Tong quietly, and said calmly: "So it's Ermo, I didn't recognize it." Ermo just took her hand and looked closely, and asked some trivial matters after the farewell.

Mrs. Tong was smiling all the time, only interjecting occasionally, and after a while, she asked Ermo to go down to rest first.

Shuning looked at her back, turned her head and said to her mother with a sweet smile, "Emiang, how are you today?"
