Chapter 100: 3 Obediences and 4 Virtues
Yuxi walked to the door, then turned back and asked, "Brother, what did you ask me for?"
Han Jianming felt that Yuxi was also confused: "I just want to give you these books. I have given you the books, so you have to read them carefully."
Yu Xi looked at the book in his hand, and the three big characters of "Shui Jing Zhu" came into view. Yuxi didn't know what kind of book this was, but she knew it was an ancient book by looking at the old pages. This kind of book is very precious, Yuxi said sincerely: "Thank you, brother."
Back in Taoranju, Yuxi looked at the few books that Han Jianye gave him. In addition to "Shui Jing Zhu", the other two were "Great Zhou Geological Map" and "Shou Shi Calendar".
Yuxi opened the book and read it carefully, and then she was very speechless. "Shui Jing Zhu" mainly records rivers, mountains, natural geography, human geography, etc., and the records are very detailed. For example, the recorded rivers, from their source to the sea, have recorded all the main streams, tributaries, valley width, river bed depth, water volume and seasonal changes of water level.
"Great Zhou Geological Map" mainly introduces all the prefectures and counties of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and describes the origins of these places, customs, personal anecdotes and so on. As for the "Shoushi Calendar", it is about astronomical knowledge. There are many formulas on it, and Yuxi becomes dizzy after reading a few lines.
Yuxi muttered: "I don't know what my brother gave me these books?" She can understand the first two books, but the latter book is like a heavenly book, how can she understand it.
Although she couldn't understand what Han Jianming was doing, Yu Xi still solemnly put these three books next to "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".
Mr. Zhao, Han Jianming's staff member, was also very puzzled by his actions: "Why did my son give these books to the fourth girl?" Less interested, well, few people understand it.
Han Jianming smiled and said: "Anyway, let's leave it alone, it's okay to show that girl." Yuxi is a very serious child, since she gave it to her, she will read it even if she doesn't understand it. Han Jianming had this idea because Yuxi had a precedent of memorizing medical books.
Mr. Zhao asked suspiciously: "Master, why are you showing these things to the fourth girl?" It means to show these books to Yuxi, even if Yuxi understands them, it will not benefit them. After being trained, they are also people from other people's families, which will not help the Han family.
Han Jianming smiled, but did not answer Mr. Zhao's doubts. If Yuxi was a younger brother, he would definitely work hard to cultivate him, but Yuxi was a daughter, so he never thought of spending energy and time to cultivate him. But I felt that it was a pity to leave such a good seedling, so I gave guidance. As for whether Yuxi would need to learn this in the future, he didn't think so far.
What Yuxi didn't expect was that Han Jingyan called her to the study the next day. Han Jingyan's study is far away from Yuxi's Tao Ranju, and it takes three quarters of an hour to go back and forth.
Yuxi was slandered in her heart, but luckily she had exercised every day, if it was Yuchen, she would probably have to help her back.
Han Jingyan looked at Yuxi who was standing obediently, and asked, "Did you go to your elder brother again yesterday?"
Yuxi nodded and said: "Brother has some books for me, and told me to go and get them." Seeing that Han Jingyan didn't speak, Yuxi continued: "Brother gave me the books of "Mandarin", "Shui Jing Zhu", and "Shou Shi Li". A few books. I can still understand "Guo Yu", but the other two are in the fog, especially the "Shou Shi Li" which seems to be about astronomy knowledge, I read all of them don't know."
After hearing this, Han Jingyan raised his head and said, "I heard that you still read history books and military books. When did you start reading them?"
Yuxi said: "Last time I went to the second brother to borrow books. The second brother told me that "Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-six Strategies" and "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" are good books, and they can make you smarter after reading them. Only after telling me did I realize that these books were given by the eldest brother to the second brother.
The second brother didn't want to watch it himself, so he gave it all to me. "Hanshu and Shiji were both bought and read secretly. The old lady and Han Jingyan would not know about this. Yuxi is still sure of this.
The expression on Han Jingyan's face was very indifferent, making it impossible to see what he was thinking: "What do you think?"
A smile could not help appearing on Yuxi's face: "The book "The Art of War and the Thirty-Six Strategies of Sun Tzu" is very interesting. The beauty tricks, bitter tricks, counter-intrigue tricks, borrowing knives to kill people, etc. in it made me forget to sleep and eat. The second brother didn't scare me After reading "Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-Six Strategies", I really feel that I was stupid before."
Han Jingyan said with a bad face: "Seldom read such books in the future." The girl's family reads about the art of war, and only that kid Han Jianye would do such a confused thing.
Yuxi glanced at Han Jingyan secretly, and then said cautiously: "Father, can I keep "Zi Zhi Tong Jian"? The third sister is also reading this book, this book should be a good book!" What Yuxi means is that she can read the books that Yuchen can read.
Han Jingyan glanced at Yuxi coldly, and this girl played tricks on him: "You don't need to return the books, but you don't need to read those books in the future, and don't go to Jianming's again. You are twelve years old this year , There are some things that I don’t need to teach.” Men and women are different, even if they are cousins, they also have to avoid suspicion.
After hearing this, Yuxi vomited blood in her heart, but she still said respectfully on her face: "Yes, I will not go to elder brother's study in the future."
Han Jingyan also gave Yuxi a few books: "Take these books back and read them carefully."
Yu Xi, who came empty-handed, had a few more books in her hand when she returned. Yuxi, who was stretched out with her book, had a decent smile on her face all the way. But when she returned to Tao Ranju, when only her confidants were left in the house, Yu Xi threw these books directly on the ground with a cold face, and couldn't help cursing: "Fuck him with three obediences and four virtues." Three obediences, at home Obey the father, obey the husband when married, and obey the son when the husband dies; the four virtues refer to a woman's character, speech, manners, and female workers. Han Jingyan gave Yuxi these few books, hoping to keep in mind the duty of a woman and follow the three obediences and four virtues.
Zi Su seldom saw Yu Xi getting angry, so she asked in a low voice, "Girl, what's wrong with you? Master reprimanded you again?"
Kufu lowered her head and picked up the book on the ground. This was given to the girl by the master, if people know that the girl throws away the things the master rewarded, it will definitely be a matter of right and wrong.
Yu Xi said coldly: "Go down! I want to be alone." She had long since given up on Han Jingyan, but Han Jingyan's behavior this time really made her angry. In her previous life she was a marionette, but in this life she still wants to be a marionette.
Ku Fu wanted to put the books on the table, but Yu Xi didn't want to see these books, so she said, "Put them on my bookshelf." If it wasn't for her scruples, she would burn these books now.
After leaving the house, Zisu took the three books in Kufu's hand, and after reading them, she understood why Yuxi was so angry. These books are "Women's Precepts", "Women's Virtue", "Women's Taming" and "Book of Rites".
Yu Xi gets angry again, so she can only hide in the room and sulk. After being angry, you still have to live your life as usual. In order to guard against being picked on by Han Jingyan again, Yuxi did not spend most of her time in the study in the next day, but spent most of her time assisting the Qiu family with housework.
I do housework in the morning, and I have to read and practice the flute in the afternoon, so I don't have time to read medical books at all. Seeing that the task she set was not yet completed, Yu Xi couldn't help but muttered: "You think it would be nice if there were twenty-four hours in a day?" Twelve hours in a day are not enough at all!
Zisu laughed: "Before Qingxuan said that the eldest girl felt that she didn't have enough time, and she wished there were twenty-four hours in a day. I didn't expect that I could hear the girl say the same."
Yu Xi said speechlessly: "How can this be the same." Yu Ru said this because she was too tired to make the dowry; she felt that she was too busy and had no time to read, and the two of them were totally different.
On this day, Yuxi received an invitation from Duan Xinrong, inviting her to visit Duan's house. In fact, it's nothing, it's just that Duan Xinrong wants to get together with his girlfriends who are having a good time, and talk and chat.
Yuxi was afraid that Qiu would not be able to pull away if she walked away. But she really wanted to go, since the day was closed at home, it was time to go out and let the wind go.
After knowing this, Qiu waved her hand and said, "Let's go and have fun! You don't need to worry about the things in the house." She can handle it without Yuxi, but she is a little tired.
Only then did Yuxi accept Duan Xinrong's invitation, and said to Zisu, "Since we got together at Zhou's house last time, we haven't been together for half a year."
Zi Su murmured, "It's not that the girl is always busy and has no time. Otherwise, you can get together every other day." Duan Xinrong and Zhou Shiya are not busy, but her girl is buried in the study every day. . Well, the situation has improved recently. In addition to the housekeeper and director, he can also play the flute and do embroidery, and he no longer concentrates on reading.
The day before going to Duan's house, the sewing room brought Yuxi a new set of clothes. Yuxi looked at the new clothes sent, and asked suspiciously: "Why is it red color..." Yuxi likes clothes in bright colors such as red, blue, green and orange, but the darker color of red, isn't it? Yuxi's dishes.
Zisu took a look at my clothes and asked, "It must be that the sewing room made a mistake, girl, let me change the clothes!"
Yuxi shook her head and said: "Let Bingmei go!" Bingmei's old lady is in the sewing room, this relationship is not needed now, it is a waste.
Half an hour later Bingmei came back with a set of water red clothes. Bingmei and Yuxi said: "There are a few new embroiderers in the sewing room. They are not familiar with the situation, and they confuse the clothes of the girl and the fifth girl."
At the end of the year, when Han Jianye got married, everyone in the mansion would have to wear new clothes from top to bottom. As a result, the sewing room was overwhelmed, and the mansion hired a few new embroiderers.
Yuxi knew the inside story but didn't mind, she just said: "Bingmei, tell your mother, next time I will send my clothes to someone I know."
Seeing that Yuxi was not angry, Bingmei felt relieved: "Don't worry, girl, my mother said, she will ask Xiaojuan to bring the clothes over next time." Xiaojuan is Bingmei's cousin, who works in the sewing room.
Yu Xi was not angry, but Yu Rong was half-dead with anger. Her clothes are made of ordinary satin, but Yuxi's suit is made of tribute satin woven with gold brocade. This tribute satin can't be bought even if there is no way or money. Only in terms of dressing, Yuxi is several grades higher than hers. up. But it's useless for Yu Rong to get angry again. The material for Yu Xi's clothes was taken out from the private treasury by Qiu's, and it's a private account, not a public account.
ps: O(∩_∩)O~, astronomy and geography PK three obediences and four virtues, the eldest brother wins. (to be continued)
