Chapter 38: Mother Kong's Teaching
The three daughters in Zeng Yunfeng's family basically all like the young master, but among the Duke's family, which one is easy to get along with.
The princess alone, the Duke’s Wife, probably would have been made submissive by her no matter which daughter she married. With such an evil mother-in-law, no matter which family’s daughter she married, there would be no good results.
This princess came from the Ouchi Palace and grew up in the palace. She had never seen any intrigues and intrigues.
Let go of the simple character of his daughters, and he will be the only one who will suffer. Now Zeng Yunfeng can take care of them at home, but as soon as they get married, it will be very difficult for Zeng Yunfeng to take care of them.
.
The imperial examination will be held in a while. The two members of my family have basically passed the examination, and they have to continue to pass the examination. The imperial examination is not an easy task. It involves thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. In the past dynasties,
All so.
If they don't prepare well for the exam during this period, they will regret it later, and other things will be secondary now.
Lin Xiaoniang is also thoughtful. I heard that the family invited a grandmother Kong to teach the daughters in the family how to arrange flowers and make tea. She also came to flirt with Zeng Yunfeng. In fact, the reason was very simple. She wanted her daughter to
Mo Lan was admitted to this class.
But what she didn't know was that Mo Lan had already been on the list of this class. This woman had too deep thoughts and bad thoughts about others. She always felt that someone was trying to harm her, but Zeng Yunfeng didn't mind agreeing to her.
The most important thing now is to let his three daughters learn something and develop good character.
As for the tea ordered by Aunt Kong, Zeng Yunfeng didn't like it at all. Zeng Yunfeng couldn't get used to drinking these teas. He drank his own tea. In recent years, a new tea trend has begun to become popular in Tokyo.
It was Zeng Yunfeng who brought it up.
These tea ceremonies of Zeng Yunfeng all originated from Sanyang in the Ming Dynasty, that is, Yang Shiqi and others. In normal times, Yang Shiqi often took Zeng Yunfeng to drink tea. Over time, he was also influenced by them and began to like tea.
When there are many people, I like to use a purple clay pot to make tea. When there are few people, I like to use Gaiwan catechu alone. This has the advantage that when I want it to be strong, it can be strong, and when I want it to be weak, it can be weak, and it can be brewed well.
It’s not easy to get cold after taking it.
Since Zeng Yunfeng brought this thing to the Ministry of Household Envoy Yamen, many officials also followed suit.
The reason why Zeng Yunfeng brought Gaiwan tea to the Yamen was because here, when the weather is cold, tea tends to get cold. However, he did not expect that because of Gaiwan catechu, Zeng Yunfeng's tea ceremony would soon become popular, and it would also affect the tea he was in charge of.
Tax.
Ordering tea itself is not conducive to the promotion of tea, because there are too many operating tools, which is too troublesome. People can't afford to drink tea and have a lot of things to drink. It is also a waste of time. However, Zeng Yunfeng's tea is
Relatively simple and easy to promote.
Why is Zeng Yunfeng not very interested in ordering tea? The reason is that when ordering tea, you need to use a tea spoon to beat it back and forth. It feels like washing dishes, and then you pick it up and start drinking the dishwater. This alone makes him unacceptable.
At Zeng Yunfeng's house, Zeng Yunfeng was the only one who drank these weird teas. Everyone else drank some tea. Others were not used to the bitter taste of Zeng Yunfeng's tea, but he felt that drinking this tea was bitter yet sweet.
There is life in the sweetness.
Zeng Yunfeng later found out that this kind of tea could actually make money, and he was a little speechless. He didn't know whether someone drank this kind of tea specifically to flatter him, or whether someone actually drank something from it, and even caused Zeng Yunfeng to drink it.
The art of drinking tea, tea ceremony, and even some porcelain began to flourish.
Zeng Yunfeng's way of drinking tea is simple, convenient and easy to store. If you really don't have the financial ability, you can just get a clay pot and drink it by yourself. In winter, brew a small pot of tea and hold it in your own hand, which is warm and thirst-quenching.
There is no need for a mill, sieve and tea spoon.
After sending the daughters to Aunt Kong, Zeng Yunfeng finally lived in peace for half a month.
Grandma Kong, who was invited by the old lady, is really a powerful person. There is really no simple person in the palace.
"Master, Aunt Kong invites you!" Dongrong stepped forward and said.
"Okay, tell grandma to go right away!" Zeng Yunfeng put down the book and said, it seems like something is happening again.
The three girls in the family all had some dissatisfaction because of the last incident. This time, Aunt Kong taught them that they also had disputes over some things. Aunt Kong just took advantage of this incident to invite Zeng Yunfeng and his wife to come over to make trouble.
.
When Zeng Yunfeng arrived, he happened to run into Lin Xiaoniang and Da Niangzi. Both of them looked ugly. They greeted Grandma Kong and the three of them sat down.
Aunt Kong said to Zeng Yunfeng: "I must have told you the quarrel this afternoon on the way here. Although it is a small matter in the boudoir, girls are old, and some right and wrong have to be distinguished. You must know that a thousand miles away
A dike is destroyed by an anthill, and small mistakes left unpunished will eventually lead to big mistakes."
Zeng Yunfeng looked at this nanny and estimated that she had already prepared punishments for these three little girls, so Zeng Yunfeng used the steps and said: "How many scoundrels have done such a shameful thing and they still don't kneel down."
Aunt Kong took advantage of the situation and said: "The ground is cold, don't freeze the girls' knees. Someone come and put futons on the girls."
Seeing this scene, the lady's eyes widened.
Zeng Yunfeng continued: "You evildoers have done such wrong things today, and the family law is not enough to punish you."
Aunt Kong said: "Sir, there is no need to get angry. It is not good to punish them blindly. We also need to let the girls understand where they went wrong. I am the upbringing nanny of several girls. To be honest, I can be regarded as half
Master, why don't you let me ask."
Zeng Yunfeng said: "Mommy's cultivation and knowledge are first-rate. She was a noble person in the palace, and she can be trained by others, let alone these few evil obstacles."
Grandma Kong then said, "Do you know you are wrong?"
The girls all said timidly, "I know I was wrong."
Aunt Kong said: "They all say they know their mistakes, but I don't think so. Most things in this world cannot be escaped from the truth. I never like to say one thing to my face and another behind my back. Today I am in front of several sisters.
For the sake of my son, speak clearly in front of your parents once and for all.”
"Then let's start with the reason. Fourth girl, raise your head and let me ask you. Fifth girl said that you have stolen the limelight from my sisters and occupied my class time. Do you agree with it?"
Mo Lan's voice softened and she replied: "I originally thought that Aunt Kong would come here once in a while, and wanted to learn more things so that I could bring honor to my father and gain face for my family. When I thought about it, I endured the displeasure of all the sisters. It's all
My fault."
Aunt Kong said again: "Fourth girl, you are smart and outstanding in everything, but I would like to advise you today. Don't rely on your cleverness to make others think you are a fool. You must know that cleverness can be mistaken for cleverness."
"
"You made two mistakes. The first one was your words. You should not have spoken or shut up when you were quarreling with your sisters. You are a concubine and a direct descendant. Although I have been in this family for a short time, I can see clearly. Fourth girl, please speak with your conscience. See
How does your father treat you?"
"Although you are a concubine, you can be raised in the name of your biological mother, have no worries about food and clothing, and have fine clothes and fine food. Apart from the regulations, you can even be compared to a prince's family. You complain that you will die if you don't agree with it. This is
Is this everyone’s norm?”
"Second, you have bad thoughts in your mind. You keep saying that you want to learn something and bring glory to your family. Are you the only girl in the Sheng family?"
"Is it true that Shengfu is only glorious if you have a good face? What about your sisters? They don't need to learn anything or have a good face."
"Fourth Miss, I know that you have always been a top-notch person, but everyone has their own fate. Today's incident may seem to be the fault of Fifth Miss, but in fact it has a lot to do with you."
"These days, you are always competitive and strive to be the first in everything. Whenever something goes wrong, you cry and wipe away your tears, blaming yourself for being a concubine. What you do shows no trace of sisterly affection and no trace of fatherly kindness.
." Grandma Kong's words came one after another.
