The Six Arts of the Gentleman, Gu Shanchang is responsible for teaching reading.
Xie Mingxi and Yin Xiaoxiao, the four sisters-in-law, each taught five courses of etiquette, music, mathematics, archery and imperialism. When they arrived in the study room, the children had to change their titles and call Xie Mingxi and others "Master".
Among the wives, Gu Shanchang is the most respected by the children, Xiao Yuhan has the gentlest temper, Zhao Changqing teaches the most carefully, and Yin Xiaoxiao has the most affectionate temperament and is popular with the children.
The one who the children fear the most is none other than Xie Mingxi.
In fact, Xie Mingxi rarely gets angry and is always smiling. But somehow, when the children come to her, they automatically become honest, well-behaved and docile. Each one of them shrinks back and forth, as honest as a quail.
It has to be said with emotion that children have keen intuition. They know who is the most powerful and must not provoke them.
Even Brother Yu and Brother Qin, who had only entered the palace for the second time, quickly realized this key to survival.
Xie Mingxi smiled and said: "Everyone, get up!"
The children responded together and stood up.
Brother Ji and others wanted to go back to the palace to have lunch with their mother, so they excused themselves and left. Brother You and others stood with A Luo.
In contrast, Brother Yu and Brother Qin stood aside, feeling rather pitiful that they were excluded from the small group.
There is nothing we can do about it. A Luo and Brother You grew up together and have a close relationship. Even a group of cousins have to sit in the back row. Not to mention Brother Yu and Brother Qin, who have just met for the second time.
Son.
Xie Mingxi's eyes fell on the twins.
Li Mo was born handsome, and Fang Ruomeng was also delicate and charming. Brother Yu and Brother Qin inherited the good looks of their parents and were both very handsome. The two brothers were about the same height, short, fat, and thin, and their facial features and eyebrows were the same, even when they stood
The postures are all the same.
Xie Mingxi looked around with a smile and said to the child on the left: "You are Brother Qin," and to the child on the right: "You are Brother Yu."
The twin brothers were quite surprised and said in unison: "How can Master recognize us at a glance?"
In the Li Mansion, the maids and servants often misidentify the two of them. Even his own father occasionally admits them! Xie Mingxi only met them for the second time, and she could call them by their names accurately!
Chief Gu Shan also found it interesting: "Mingxi, how did you recognize them? I took a half-day class and I couldn't tell them apart."
A Luo jumped in and said, "Grandma, take a closer look. Brother Li Yu has a small mole on his left eyebrow. Brother Li Qin's mole is on his right eyebrow."
Brother You took the next sentence calmly: "Brother Li's hair is a little thicker, and Brother Li's nose is a little bigger."
Gu Shanchang: "..."
Gu Shanchang looked at it carefully and couldn't help but laugh: "As expected. A Luo and Brother You observed it very carefully."
The naughty little Bao'er grinned and said, "Yesterday, Sister A'luo and Brother You made a bet to see who could recognize who was the elder brother and who was the younger brother first today. Whoever lost would have to imitate the barking of a puppy. So they watched extra carefully.
.”
A Luo glanced at her mother who was smiling slightly nervously, and winked at little Bao'er repeatedly.
Unfortunately, little Bao'er's mouth was like a firecracker, and he came out with a series of bald grunts: "Early this morning, Brother You recognized it first. Sister A'luo was a little slower. However, Sister A'luo refused to admit defeat and planned to default on the bill.
"
A Luo: "..."
Ah Luo was so angry that she glared at Xiao Bao'er angrily: "Talk too much!"
Brother You suppressed his laughter and calmed down A Luo seriously: "Brother Xiaobao remembered it wrong. In fact, sister A Luo and I recognized it together this morning. So, I didn't win, and sister A Luo didn't lose either. We
Two ties.”
Under A-Luo's fierce blink of an eye, Sister Qing opened her mouth to testify for A-Luo: "Brother You is right. Sister A-Luo didn't lose!"
Xie Mingxi: "..."
This face-saving virtue is exactly the same as that of her biological father!
Gu Shanchang was amused and laughed, and they worked together to smooth things over for A Luo: "If it's a tie, it's a tie. Don't bet casually in the future. It's important to study hard."
Then he urged Xie Mingxi: "The children must be very hungry after attending half-day classes. Let the imperial kitchen pass the food quickly!"
One thing is reduced to another, and it is true in the slightest.
No matter how powerful Xie Mingxi was, she couldn't show any anger towards her master, so she could only smile and say: "Okay."
A Luo breathed a sigh of relief, smiled sweetly at Gu Shanchang, and took the initiative to hold Gu Shanchang's hand: "Grandma, let me help you go to the dining room."
Sister Qing was very close, and she also trotted over and held Gu Shanchang's other arm.
Mr. Gu Shanchang was very pleased with it and left with a smile.
Xie Mingxi smiled and greeted Brother You and others: "Follow me to the dining room."
Several boys responded with a smile.
…
Shen Shizheng, outside Donghua Gate.
Several carriages stopped outside the palace gate, and several young women gathered together, talking and laughing in low voices, while looking up from time to time.
These young women are none other than Lin Weiwei, Qin Sihun, Yan Zhenzhen and Fang Ruomeng.
Today is the first day for the children to study in the palace. Everyone sent the children to the palace early in the morning, and then spent most of the day anxious and worrying about gains and losses. They went outside the palace gate an hour in advance to wait for the children to leave the palace.
This feeling can be felt by all mothers in the world.
"I don't know if Little Bao'er is being restless in the palace today." Qin Sihun was most worried, instead of frowning and sighing.
Yan Zhenzhen was equally anxious: "Sister Qing is timid and loves to cry. I don't know how many times she cried today."
Fang Ruomeng was even more worried: "You only have one to worry about, but I have two to worry about. Brother Yu and Brother Qin have been naughty since they were young. I usually discipline the two brothers, but they are often so angry that they burst into smoke. The two of them are in the palace.
I’m studying here, but I don’t know if I can adapt to it.”
A'luo was of high status, and all the children who entered the palace were accompanied by her. Brother Ji, Er, Sister Rong, and the others were all of the Tian family's blood, and they were cousins with A'luo, so they had different friendships. They just had some quarrels.
, it’s nothing.
Brother You and the others are different.
They are both classmates and have a deep friendship. However, their status is different. When they study in the palace, they have to abide by the rules of the palace.
Lin Weiwei was the calmest one: "Don't worry, the children are not too young anymore. Once they enter the palace, they will abide by the rules of the palace. Even if there are occasional oversights, the masters will control them."
This is true.
Everyone is familiar with Mr. Gu's temperament. With Mr. Gu as their master, what else do they have to worry about?
Everyone looked at each other and teased Lin Weiwei: "Of course you don't have to worry. Brother You is smart and sensible, and he won't get into trouble with anyone."
Lin Weiwei felt deeply affected, and she had to say a few words of self-effacement: "Where is that?"
While he was talking, the palace door opened and several children came out together.
Brother You was limping while being supported by Little Bao'er.
