Daiyu was a little angry that Jia Lian had arbitrarily tampered with previous poems and made crooked poems to amuse her.
So he sat there, neither eating nor drinking, with a bulging face, letting Jia Lian clearly know that she, Lin Daiyu, was very dissatisfied with him.
But in my heart, I secretly wrote down Jia Lian's crooked poem, hum~ it rhymes quite a bit!
Jia Lian was overwhelmed by Daiyu's cute and arrogant look. He resisted the urge to continue teasing her, cheered up and said, "Sister Lin, are you interested in taking on a disciple?"
Daiyu heard this and looked over, "What apprentice?"
Jia Lian called Xiang Ling over and said with a smile: "How is this apprentice? You also know that I am not very good as a brother, and I don't want to delay her, so I want to trouble you, a little talented girl, to help me teach. how?"
Xiangling was very embarrassed and said quickly: "I don't dare to trouble Miss Lin..."
Daiyu knew what Jia Lian meant as soon as she heard it. After all, when she was on the boat, she saw Jia Lian teaching Xiang Ling how to read and digit.
If it were anyone else, Daiyu would never agree again. She doesn't like trouble.
It's just Xiang Ling. First of all, she pities Xiang Ling's life experience, and secondly, she knows that Xiang Ling is a well-behaved and obedient person.
The most important point is that Jia Lian attaches great importance to Xiang Ling, but he has never regarded Xiang Ling as a maid in his heart, so he has to teach her to read and read.
Ever since Daiyu could remember, apart from her parents, she had never owed so many favors to Jia Lian, and she always wanted to repay him.
Now that Jia Lian wanted her, and it was such a small thing, his heart immediately moved.
"If we just teach her how to read, it won't be difficult, but I can't guarantee anything else."
Daiyu became more modest.
When Jia Lian saw this, he immediately winked at Xiang Ling.
Xiangling was abducted for eight or nine years, which delayed her childhood. She only came into contact with books after following Jia Lian, but it was as if she had gained intelligence and was very eager to read. Although Jia Lian was also willing to teach her how to read, she knew that Jia Lian was very busy and did not dare to waste Jia Lian's time too much. She was also afraid that others would say that she was deliberately pestering her master...
So she often hid in the house and studied alone. Qingwen saw it and laughed at her.
Only Jia Lian saw her and said that she was a person with wisdom, so he gave her an idea to find a master for her.
Unexpectedly, it was Miss Lin.
At this time, seeing that Daiyu had no intention of refusing, and receiving Jia Lian's signal, thinking about the principle of "once a teacher, always a father", he immediately knelt down to Daiyu and said: "Thank you, Miss Lin... No, Xiangling pays homage to the master..."
He also wanted to kowtow to Daiyu, so Daiyu stood up in shame and said angrily: "You confused girl, you should take the lies he deliberately said seriously. I only promised to teach you, but I didn't say I would be your master. "
Although Daiyu felt that she was very talented and talented, if others knew that she, a girl who had just finished elementary school, had begun to recruit apprentices and teach in a mountain school, wouldn't they still laugh at her?
The former child's mother Jia also said that she would be sent to school with Yingchun and others.
I am still a primary school student, how can I accept a disciple?
"Hahahahaha, Xiangling, you are laughing at us to death. Look, Miss Lin is so anxious. If you do this, be careful that Miss Lin won't teach you."
All the maids were amused by Xiang Ling.
Qingwen laughed the most.
Although it was a bit off-putting that Jia Lian valued Xiang Ling so much, he didn't care much about the matter itself.
In her opinion, there is no use in reading and literacy. They don't need it as slaves, and they don't need it when they become aunts.
Although she often thought about usurping the throne of Wang Xifeng, it was not the position of the eldest grandmother, but to take away Jia Lian's favor. She knew this, and she knew it. With her status, being a majestic aunt was a big deal. She couldn't be a housekeeper, and she didn't want to suffer the burden.
Look, we are all eating meat and drinking wine in the yard, and Mistress Lian is still working in a house that is so exhausting.
Xiang Ling got up with Ping'er's help and felt very embarrassed when everyone laughed at her.
Daiyu seemed a little angry and wanted to explain, "Miss Lin...I..."
Daiyu was not really angry at first, so she calmed down when she saw this, thought for a while and said: "I live in the old lady's house. There are many people there, so I can't ask you to come there often. Let's do this, I will come here every day from now on." Once in your room, I will teach you for an hour. When you are familiar with the words, I will not have to work so hard. Maybe I will come and teach you once every three or five days. It will only teach you how to learn poetry, lyrics, music and poetry on your own. A year and a half is enough for you to learn on your own.
I can only teach you this. If you want to learn something else, I can't teach you.
Is this possible? "
Daiyu's last question was to Jia Lian.
When Jia Lian heard Daiyu say this, he knew that she did not want to disturb Jia Mu and others. But it would be a good thing if Daiyu could come here every day in the future. With a teacher with such good looks and talent, he would want to take classes.
Then he smiled and said: "Sister Lin's arrangement is step-by-step, reasonable, and there is indeed a famous teacher. I believe that with the guidance of a famous teacher like you, she will definitely become a master disciple, which is much better than following a dabbler like me.
Xiangling, you must prepare tea and wait for your master every day from now on. It took a lot of effort for me to find such a good teacher for you. If you get angry, you will be gone in the future. "
Xiangling responded quickly.
Daiyu snorted quietly, as an elder brother, how could he be so shameless and always flatter his younger sister, so he was not shy.
After saying this, everyone sat down to eat hot pot again, but Xiangling refused to go back to make rice no matter what. She stood filially beside Daiyu, serving her dishes and pouring wine, obviously putting aside Jia Lian's words. In your heart, you must win over good teachers.
Jia Lian saw that Daiyu was obviously not used to Xiangling's service, but she was embarrassed to refuse, which was very funny.
"Hey, I heard you were doing this in the yard. A bunch of unruly little hooves didn't know how to wait for me, so you started eating first."
Wang Xifeng led a group of people and hurriedly came up from the back porch and saw a group of girls drinking and having fun in the yard. Although they knew it was Jia Lian's connivance, they still cursed half-truthfully.
But when she came closer and saw Daiyu, her expression immediately changed: "Hey, this is a rare visitor. When did you come?"
Daiyu stood up to greet Wang Xifeng and said, "Second sister-in-law Lian."
Wang Xifeng hurriedly held Daiyu's hand, "Don't worry too much. I didn't see you just now, and I was scolding them."
Daiyu smiled shyly. She naturally understood and wouldn't even care about this.
The girls who were eating happily were photographed by Sister Feng. Despite Jia Lian's order, they all dropped their bowls and chopsticks and stood in a row. Even Qingwen was no exception.
Jia Lian was the only one sitting, and he also saw Wang Xifeng's invisible intimidation, "I sent someone to call you a long time ago, but you insisted on hiding behind and refused to come out. Is it because of you alone? Are you going to make us all hungry?"
Wang Xifeng immediately dropped Daiyu and reached out to point a finger on Jia Lian's forehead, but Jia Lian let him go, "You heartless person, I've been busy all day, and why aren't you just doing these trivial matters for your family? I'm exhausted myself. , you are enjoying the blessings at home, instead of saying that you should remember me, you take the lead in arrogating me.
In front of your sister Lin here, we ask her to comment? "
Daiyu was too lazy to see him and his wife flirting, so she said, "I've finished eating too. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."
Wang Xifeng said hurriedly: "Why do you have to leave as soon as I come back? It's not too late to sit here again."
Daiyu refused, so Wang Xifeng had no choice but to give it away.
When she came back, she saw that the girls were still standing, and knew that she might have ruined Jia Lian's mood, so she smiled and said: "Half of them were eaten, and now you can't tell that you are respecting me. Don't stand still." , bring me a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and you can each eat yours."
"Hehe, thank you, Second Grandma."
Ping'er had already prepared bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses for Sister Feng. When the other maids saw this, they continued to behave with peace of mind.
Jia Lian then smiled at Wang Xifeng.
"Just spoil them~!"
Wang Xifeng scolded Jia Lian, took a sip of wine, and found that it was rice wine, so she said: "Ping'er, warm up a pot of the wine that your second master brought from the south. It's almost freezing to death on this day, so I just have a sip." Warm yourself with strong liquor.”
Jia Lian sat upright and looked at Wang Xifeng quietly.
Sure enough, Sister Feng, who is bold and cheerful, is very handsome.
