Chapter 4: The people of the Wufu who were caught in dire straits (2)
In the past three years, Mrs. Wu has either been looking for her husband or on her way to find him, so that now when she hears the word "sir", her scalp goes numb, her eyes turn black, and she is so tortured.
Moreover, the younger daughter has found all kinds of gentlemen, who have already jumped out of the rules and regulations of the back house. But every time, the younger daughter explains the truth clearly.
How can a lady like you not know poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, music, chess, calligraphy and painting? How can you be sensible and moral if you don’t study? How can you endure high-intensity study if you are too weak? So on and so forth...
Mrs. Wu really couldn't find any reason to refuse, and Mr. Wu was very supportive.
Some gentlemen were beyond Mrs. Wu's reach, and Mr. Wu would personally go out to invite them, so that Mrs. Wu could occasionally breathe a sigh of relief.
When she thought that the gentleman she had invited back would teach not just her youngest daughter, but all her children, Mrs. Wu felt that all her hard work had been in vain.
The couple is responsible for inviting, comforting, and sending off the husband, and the children are responsible for studying. The two sides divide the work and cooperate. What a good thing.
Especially when she saw the other children being dragged into misery by her little daughter, Mrs. Wu felt that everything was worth it.
As a family, we just have to suffer together!
There must be real gold in the waves. The remaining gentlemen who have been sifted through the pear blossoms all have real talents and practical knowledge, and they are not just those who have gained a false reputation. They have raised the overall quality of the children of the Wu family to a higher level.
Master Wu was very pleased to see this and supported Lihua's behavior even more, so that later on, the teacher who taught his two sons asked Lihua to go through it again.
Speaking of Wu Lan and Wu Zhu, when they first reunited with Li Hua, they saw that Li Hua was in poor health and looked at her sweet and waxy face, feeling pity for them.
Especially when they discovered that Lihua didn't understand a lot of common sense, they felt even more distressed and followed Mrs. Wu to complain to their uncle's house.
How well can a child who doesn't even understand common sense live a normal life? (Actually, Lihua has just traveled through time and doesn't know much about ancient life yet)
It was in this mood that Wu Lan and Wu Zhu began to live with Lihua, taking care of her sister in every possible way, and teaching Lihua some common sense about daily dressing, hair and makeup.
This made Lihua extremely embarrassed, and seeing Mrs. Wu getting angry and having blisters at the corners of her mouth because of her efforts to invite her husband, in line with the principle of not wasting money, she extended a small hand of friendship to the two sisters.
One day, Lihua came to look for Wulan, and Wuzhu and the others had bright eyes, with bright little pear dimples dangling on both sides of their cheeks:
"Eldest sister, second sister, my mother has found a good husband for me. He is very good. It will be of great benefit to us if we learn from him. Will you two sisters accompany me to learn?"
Seeing her sister's sensible and caring smile, Wu Zhu Wulan smiled, thinking that Lihua wanted someone to accompany her, so she readily agreed: "Of course, if the little sister asks, the elder sister will naturally respond, not to mention learning from Mr.
Sister is very happy to do this."
"Huh? Are you willing to learn anything?" Lihua asked.
"That's natural."
As soon as these few words came out, Wu Lan and Wu Zhu were on the pirate ship for three years. They were tortured to death, doubting life again and again, breaking down and picking themselves up again and again. It was not until they successfully got engaged that they were freed.
Lihua's studiousness and hard work were something Wu Lan and Wu Zhu had never seen before in their lives.
No matter how cold or hot it is, Lihua never misses class. Even when her husband is sick and takes a break from class, she still never stops. She is very good at what she learns.
When every gentleman left behind by the waves mentions Pear Blossom, he almost always looks proud, and often inadvertently praises her: "It's enough to have such a great disciple in life!"
If he accidentally turned his head and saw the two of them, the gentleman would stop smiling and say seriously: "You two still have many shortcomings. You need to work harder and don't relax."
After many times, Wu Zhu and Wu Lan began to doubt their lives. They had the same teacher, the same class, the same father and the same mother. Why were there such big differences?
They often feel that they are unable to learn what they want, but their little sister is very good at it and has the ability to teach them in turn. Are they mentally retarded?
Both of them couldn't keep up with Lihua's progress even though they tried their best. Often, before they could understand the previous lesson, the next lesson started again. They were so exhausted studying every day that they couldn't even understand it. They were miserable and suffered physically and mentally.
torment.
Moreover, the little girl treats them very well. No matter what they find they want to learn, she never leaves them behind. She gives them a copy of any class in advance, making them cry without tears.
The youngest and weakest sister in the family can do this. They have no reason to slack off, so they have to grit their teeth with tears in their eyes and persevere.
The most important thing is that their father is less busy than before after returning to Beijing, so they can't do it if they don't go...
These are the bitter tears of everyone in the Wu family, except Mr. Wu, of course.
Mr. Wu often tested the homework of several children in the school and found that his youngest daughter had a wide range of knowledge and unique insights into people and things. She could always draw inferences from one instance and even solved big problems for him on several occasions.
Mr. Wu was very happy, and the mantra he often kept on his lips was: "My daughter is like my father. Having a daughter like this is a source of comfort for the rest of my life."
Just like those gentlemen!
After the praise, Mr. Wu would often feel melancholy, lamenting that if his little daughter was born a boy, she would be a pillar of talent, what a pity, what a pity...
Every time at this time, Mr. Wu started to pick on his son Wu Qing and Wu Che because their eyes were not eyes and their noses were not noses. He would often give them a scolding for being free and unskilled, and would give up after a few beatings.
.
Wu Qing and Wu Che were very aggrieved. When they were eleven years old, their twin brothers passed the examination at the same time. They were considered young talents in this dynasty. Their father was very happy at that time. After the little sister came back,
Just treat them like nothing!
The younger sister's reading of the Four Books and Five Classics is indeed better than theirs, which shatters their self-confidence. They can only study hard every day hoping to catch up, but they can't catch up, but there is no need to challenge them for a long time...
Forget it, before little sister Zhuyu, they were just useless.
Wu Qing and Wu Che, who once tried to protest to Master Wu, gave up later and could only accept the criticism and education from Master Wu in shame, saying that they would work hard and work hard to live up to expectations.
When did this situation begin?
It must have been one day three years ago when Lihua came to them and asked with a smile:
"Brothers, I heard that you are currently studying "Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean". Can I follow you and study together?" How can a lady like you not know the Four Books and Five Classics? You are right to study more!
Seeing their younger sister who was eager to learn, she smiled brightly. Wu Qing and Wu Che laughed and agreed: "Of course, if you want to learn something, just tell us. Let's go talk to our father and husband. They
I shouldn’t refuse.”
From then on, in the eyes of Mr. Wu and Mr. Wu, the two brothers became negative examples of stupidity, free will and ineffectiveness.
Since studying together with Lihua, Wu Qing and Wu Che, who were so smug and ambitious, have been hit almost every few days, their confidence has been shattered, and now they don't even have the courage to take the imperial examination.
After all, if she is worse than her sister, how can she pass the exam? She still has to practice again.
This is what happened to the Wu family in the past three years.
Outsiders may not know it, but only the thick-skinned Wufu people who were rolled up clearly realize how terrible it is to roll up pear blossoms! This chapter has been completed!
