Ordinary clear day

Chapter 24 Homework
In fact, that spring cloak was a failed work that Shu Ning made based on the red cloak with sleeves during the Chinese New Year. When Ermo said it at this time, Tong also understood that it was words of consolation, but her daughter's needlework was well done. Yes, it is true.

Female red is also one of the skills that a lady must master. Shuning has been learning female red for two or three years. She can still meet people by embroidering a purse and sewing a handkerchief. I'm afraid it will be ridiculous.In order to make her daughter's female red kung fu more outstanding, Tong decided that she would no longer be satisfied with being taught by the maid at home, but she would invite professionals to teach her in person!
Mrs. Tong invited Aunt Yang, a famous needleworker.Aunt Yang is the niece of Mrs. Liu, and she came to the house with her a few years ago to pick up jobs.Since her aunt got older, more and more people invited her to go. Several official families invited her to teach their daughter to be a female celebrity, so Aunt Yang was not panicked when she received Tong's invitation.After discussing, she and Tong Shi agreed to come here every five days to teach a new job, and let Shuning practice at home for the rest of the time.The quarterly reward is three taels of silver and two stones of white rice.

The matter was settled in this way, but when Mrs. Liu came to talk with her, she heard that her gossip friend Xiaotao was married, and she was very sorry. Looking at her like that, she thought she came to gossip with Xiaotao, which made Aunt Yang A little embarrassed, I hurriedly took my aunt away without haggling over the price.However, when Mrs. Liu went out, she still asked the old Wu to find out the address of Xiao Taofu's house. It seemed that she planned to visit and continue this friendship.

Shuning's life became more and more busy.She was ordered by her mother to learn from female celebrities, but she couldn't let go of her favorite cooking work, so she had to learn together.One day learning to cook, one day learning needlework, every day is busy, and there is almost no time to go out to meet friends.But no matter how busy she is, she persists in her daily homework of reading and writing, especially writing big characters.Reading requires a lot of comprehension, and she doesn't think she can become a talented woman like Li Qingzhao, but as long as you practice hard, you can see progress, and she won't give up.

Shuning's hard work has infected her older brother Duanning.His current homework has made great progress, and he is already one of the best among his friends and classmates.Zhang Bao is very satisfied with the excellence of his children.Because his son was almost 11 years old, he considered whether he should let his son go to school.

In autumn, something prompted Zhang Bao to make a decision.Ding Juren, who has been teaching Duanning for a long time, was assisted by a relative to find a vacancy for a county magistrate in Jiangxi, and he will take office soon.He personally came to visit and said that he could no longer be Duanning's teacher, so he had to come to apologize.Zhang Bao understood his difficulties and gave him a good set of four treasures of the study to congratulate him.But in this case, he would have to find another teacher for his son.

Ding Juren felt ashamed, and he had taught Duanning for many years, and he was a proud student, so he took good care of him, so he introduced a familiar Zhao Juren.This Zhao Juren is very old and his beard is gray, but he is very talented and has deep insights into the Four Books and Five Classics.Due to various reasons, he himself has not been able to pass the Jinshi exam, but seven or eight out of ten students he taught passed the exam, so he is quite famous in the local area.It's just that he has a weird temper. He only accepts five or six students at most every year, and he won't accept any more students.This time, because it was recommended by his friend Ding Juren, and Duanning's own qualifications were good, he accepted it.Zhang Bao was very grateful for Ding Juren's help. His son had a good teacher, and his future talents and studies would definitely not be much worse.

However, Mr. Zhao can only teach Duanning Sinology, and Manchu and Mongolian characters are also compulsory subjects.Originally, Zhang Bao had always been the teacher of his children, but recently he has been busy with work, and classes have been suspended for a while.After much deliberation, Zhang Bao solemnly invited Mr. Wei Lun, the younger brother of Professor Manxue of the Fuya Li, to come and teach at his home, with a class every three days.Mr. Zhao comes every two days.For the two children, Duanning has to attend classes for a full day, a total of four hours, and her daughter Shuning also has to attend classes for half a day, a total of two hours.Zhang Bao has strict requirements on his children, and will conduct spot checks from time to time, and he is determined to make both children talented men and women.The two gentlemen are both strict in temperament and knowledgeable. After meeting each other, they respected each other very much, and together they tortured the two students to the extreme.

In the process of studying, Shuning discovered a little problem of her own.After crossing over, probably because I became a child, my memory improved a lot. I can memorize general poems two or three times. After reading many books, my impression has deepened a lot, but when it comes to reciting long famous essays , it is always not fluent enough to memorize, you can only remember important sentences on the basis of a better understanding of the full text, and you have to think for a while to remember the other parts.

After she experimented, she concluded a rule: she can remember simple or easy-to-understand and catchy articles, but she can only remember part of long and difficult articles or uncommon words.This seems to be a problem in her previous life. She is more willing to recite short and rhythmic poems and essays, but when it comes to long ancient prose, she becomes impatient. Useful, as long as you understand it, you don't even bother to remember the original sentence.

It seems that after time travel, he changed his body, and this kind of utilitarian mind was also brought over.In terms of understanding long ancient prose, she is worse than her brother Duanning, but when it comes to reciting, she is much worse. Is it because the body contains the soul of an adult, and the mind is not as simple as that of a child, with too many distracting thoughts, So that it affects concentration?
But no matter what, she doesn't need to take a test, so if she can't recite it, she can't recite it. It's good if she can understand it.She puts more energy into practicing calligraphy. Although the soul of an adult has affected her memory ability, it has strengthened her control. As far as writing is concerned, she already looks good. In her previous life, her elementary school calligraphy teachers were all strong.Mr. Zhao is very satisfied with this point, and has suggested that she can start to practice lower script.

At this time, Duanning is already the best among the official youths in Fengtian City, but in his own opinion, he thinks that his younger sister is better than him.In many articles, my sister can understand the general meaning by herself, but he can only understand after listening to his husband's explanation, which makes him feel very depressed.

However, Shu Ning soon discovered her brother's knots, and admitted that her memory was not as good as her brother's. Although she could understand the meaning of some sentences in the article, compared to the detailed comments her brother got from her husband, her grasp of the basics was not as solid as his. If there is any aspect that really performs better, it is probably writing.

After Duan Ning heard this, he thought about it and found it to be reasonable. Immediately, his confidence doubled. Not only did he study more diligently, but he also spent a full hour practicing handwriting. He vowed to surpass his younger sister and regain his elder brother's dignity!

Shu Ning grinned and didn't take it seriously, if he likes to work hard, he can work hard, if there is really progress, of course it's a good thing, she doesn't care about such a false name.

Although Shuning didn't care, Tong Shi was quite critical.In her opinion, Duanning is too hardworking, going to bed late and getting up early every day, what if he gets tired and sick?She thinks all this is because Shu Ning puts pressure on her brother, asking her to spend less time on reading and practicing calligraphy, and spend more time on female red practice.

Shu Ning has always felt that there should be a certain balance between cultural studies and housekeeping. She has always done well and does not need to make changes, but she still needs to respect her mother's wishes, so she correspondingly reduced the number of classes and endorsements by half. time, but he refused to make any concessions in calligraphy practice.

She said to her mother: "Anyway, my daughter doesn't need to take an exam, and she is not expected to be a talented woman. As long as she knows these academic allusions, there is no need to do stereotyped articles. But practicing calligraphy is a good way to cultivate the mind and character. Didn't Er Niang often say that practicing calligraphy can make people calm? You always say that your daughter is impatient and should practice calligraphy more to cultivate her character. Now why do you ask her to practice less?" Tong felt that what she said made sense , it is no longer blocked.

On the contrary, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Wei Ning felt a little regretful after knowing this, but for them, Shu Ning was not a key training target, at best, she was just a companion, so they ignored it.

With a lot of free time, and Tong's explicit request to spend this time on practicing female celebrities, Shuning had to find a way to make the practice more interesting.For example, when Aunt Yang taught her how to cut clothes, she tried to make some novel styles for herself.The gorgeous dress sent by Jingli looked very similar to the beautiful costumes in the TV dramas she had watched before. She originally thought of copying it when she grew up, but someone took the opportunity, and she was depressed. It's been several days.But it's all copying anyway, who is not copying?Although that cousin is an ancient person, she is quite fashionable in her clothes.She tried to make some small bows, small satin flowers and other decorations, and sewed them on the clothes she tried.At first, Tong was a little displeased, thinking that there was no need for her to learn from others, but later she heard that Ermo said, "At any rate, the girl did it by herself, which is much better than the second girl who can only ask others to do it", and she became happy.

Shuning designs and cuts clothes every day, and enjoys it.She also tried to connect those small flower knots into a pipa lapel style, and made a robe for her mother. Tong Shi was very happy to put it on, and the size was still normal. symmetry.This is great progress!Tong was very happy, found a carved nanmu box and gave it to her daughter as a reward.

The box is very beautiful, but the carvings are only around the sides, and there is no decoration on the box surface. Shu Ning likes it, but feels a little monotonous. She wants to find something to decorate the box surface, or embroidered cloth, or lacework.Chun Xing rummaged through boxes and boxes to help her find, and she also rummaged through her sewing basket to see if there was anything she could use.

Just as she was looking for it, Chun Xing asked: "Girl, do you think this is suitable?" Shu Ning turned her head and saw that she was holding two fake flowers in her hand, one was a tender red crabapple, and the other was a pink peach blossom. It was the gift from Zhou Yinlan last year.
