Chapter 49 Competition
The old lady looked at Zi Lan with a narrow smile, her eyes full of praise, leaving a way out for herself everywhere, and she could do whatever she wanted, and her eyes were good, so that several girls could have a chance, and everyone seemed to have a chance.
Zi Lan stuck out her tongue and smiled embarrassedly, "I'm afraid I can't suppress them, so I'll leave a way out, so I'll choose Chenxiang and Yunxiang. Could it be better to let them do third-class service first?"
"Okay, according to you, you still have to study hard. The little girl is at the age of learning things. She will follow Madam Qi and learn hard. She will be like this when she goes out in the future."
"Well, grandma, I want them to learn literacy and arithmetic. In the future, like the nanny and sister around my mother, they can do things like doing things."
Zilan wanted to ask her grandmother for her advice. After all, she was a modern person before and had never used a slave. She was not sure whether this would be good.
"It goes without saying that with Madam Qi's teachings, such as Yunxiang, who has brains, took the initiative to learn. Learning more skills is the foundation of a foothold. Without brains, she can't learn even if she doesn't have brains."
The old lady took a sip of tea and put down the teacup before continuing, "You said it well just now, leaving enough space and seats for them, so that those who can do it will live in it."
You don’t need to remind them what to learn. If you want to be successful in front of you, you need to have some skills. If you have too many advantages, they will take the initiative to compete for it.
Only those who are smart can climb to the first-class position of a big girl. For example, Mu Xiang has learned to recognize words and arithmetic by herself. Even if she is so busy, she still has to follow Madam Qi to learn the rules?
They are maids and slaves, not your daughter, and you don’t need to teach them step by step. They don’t have the same face yet. Let’s talk about it when Hongxia is in love with each other.”
The old lady's words made Zilan suddenly realize that she was thinking the wrong direction. They were slaves and not her employees. The class classification was very clear and she could not be offside.
"I understand. All I have to do is to put forward my needs and they will compete by themselves. I just need to leave the last best one."
"Yes, this is what the superiors should do, and it is enough to observe secretly."
Zilan and Shuhui looked at each other and nodded together, "We remember."
The old lady smiled and patted their heads gently.
Zilan secretly felt fortunate that he had come to approach his grandmother with a filial heart, otherwise he would not understand these things at all and might have been misled by modern ideas.
The old lady is a princess and has been a superior for her life. These are things that are not passed down, and they are the abilities that a lady of a noble family should learn.
This also allows you to understand why many concubines are not generous enough, so you won’t teach you something really useful if you don’t kiss you.
I thought of Zhao Xuan'er again. If she was willing to come over and get close to her, even if she was really honest and honest, I believe that my grandmother would not be stingy in teaching her. Listening like this can learn a lot, and she will not block her ears and not let her listen.
Zi Lan looked around and asked, "Hey, it's almost dinner, why didn't Sister Xuan'er come?"
"What do you care about her? It's better if she doesn't come. She looks at you pitifully every time, as if we bullied her in love."
Shuhui frowned unhappily.
"Okay, if you don't come, don't come, but you can't say this outside, as it will make it difficult for my grandmother to be a human being, and it is not pleasing to do anything.
A person like Aunt Xu is not qualified to invite me to my family background, but it was thanks to my grandmother who went to the palace to invite me back.
Sister Xuan'er has it as soon as you come. If you hate her, all the grandmother's hard work will be gone. Instead, people will say that her grandmother has treated Sister Xuan'er harshly, why bother?"
Shuhui thought about it before nodding, "Okay, I'll listen to you, I will definitely not say this to the outside world."
"No, I have to say something good, saying that there is an older sister at home. Grandma's grandmother specifically asked Aunt Xu to teach her that she would be able to have a good marriage in the future. It has nothing to do with Grandma's mistakes in the future. If we think about the front, if she learns well, it will be a shame for our family."
Zilan did this to prevent some things. As long as you don’t commit suicide, it will not only not affect her, but will give her points. The aunt next to the empress dowager will definitely have no problem in upbringing, and she can also talk about good marriages.
The old lady nodded kindly, "Although I am not afraid of these rumors, your sister is thoughtful and guarded against everything first. It is very beneficial to be with you young children. Being cautious at any time is not a mistake."
"I remember, Sister Lan always thinks about me, but I just can't like Sister Xuan'er. Did I do something wrong with grandmother?"
Shuhui is also a child after all, and she doesn't want people to take away Zilan's attention. She likes Zilan, and wants to be with her all the time. It is understandable that the child's monopoly mentality is also understood.
"It's not that you are wrong. It's because she is not clear and generous enough, but she can't blame her entirely. The Zhao family's environment is too poor, so just follow Aunt Xu to learn more.
You may be able to change yourself if you are young. You are a lady from a big family. You must have the grace of tolerance, otherwise it will make it difficult for your sister to be a human being."
The old lady smiled, and she knew Shuhui would definitely understand.
Shuhui looked at Zilan apologetically. Maybe it was because of her bad attitude that made her sister even more embarrassed and embarrassed.
"Sister, it's because I'm not good at it. I'm not good at it, so I've let her grow old and look for you. I'll change it in the future."
"Actually, my sister did nothing wrong. It was because she had a mistake and made us embarrassed first. It was just that it was too stiff and it was inevitable that people would say that my sister was too mean. After all, she was pitiful. People in the world sympathized with the weak and rarely explored the right or wrong at the first time.
My sister will be more gentle next time. Don’t give outsiders the opportunity to talk about us. My sister is so good, how can I let others miscontinue the discussion?"
Zilan cleverly praised Hui'er, after all, it was not her fault.
Shuhui is someone who can listen to her opinions. After hearing her words, she nodded repeatedly, "My sister is more thorough, I will pay attention to it in the future."
"Hehe! My sister loves and takes care of me the most. I have been at home for so long. My sister takes care of me.
I have never asked me to take the initiative to call the girl. I know that my sister is afraid that the servants are dissatisfied with me and are dissatisfied with me. I remember my sister's kindness to me. My mother also said that I should learn more and put my mind on the edge of the knife."
Zilan smiled at them. Although it was a hymn, Shuhui's personality was indeed very good. She also liked it very much. It was rare to have a close sister and best friend here, and she cherished it very much.
The old lady smiled happily, "You two must get along well, don't be disloyal because of outsiders. They will face more difficulties and tricks in the future. Trust your own people is the primary priority."
"We've written it down."
