The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 246 Rules and Etiquette ([-])

Speaking of rules and etiquette, when Mrs. Kong first came to Geshan Village, she really felt that not only the thirteen or fourteen-year-old Su Yunduo should make up for the rules and etiquette, but even Ning should learn the rules and etiquette.

Even if they don't go back to the Su family in the capital, since Su Chengzhi intends to take an official career after taking the scientific examination, the two of them will be officials in the future, and they will always have to deal with other officials. How can they not learn the necessary rules and etiquette? Woolen cloth? !

But after getting along for a year, Mrs. Kong gradually felt that a girl like Su Yunduo is actually very good, bright and capable, so why must she be imitated by those little girls in the capital? Mention some of Ning's tips on how to communicate with people, and don't mention the topic of letting Su Yunduo learn the rules.

Today Ning suddenly brought Su Yunduo to beg Mrs. Kong to give advice on Su Yunduo's etiquette, presumably Su Chengzhi's entry into Beijing made Ning feel a sense of crisis.

Mrs. Kong herself is not the kind of person who pays attention to rules. When she got along with Ning, she mentioned some of the rules of Ning's big families in the capital because she was worried that Ning would be ridiculed and criticized because she didn't understand the rules when she went to the capital. She understood better. No matter how hard she tries to teach Ning's mother and daughter, she doesn't have the confidence to turn Ning's mother and daughter into noble ladies in the capital.

Besides, if it is really boring to teach Ning's mother and daughter to be that kind of person, it is still necessary to make appropriate points.

After all, even if Su Yunduo is unwilling to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, he can't stop Su Chengzhi's heart to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, let alone the old lady Lu who sticks to the Su family's determination to recognize Su Chengzhi, a bastard, to support the family.

After getting along for a year, Mrs. Kong feels that Su Yunduo has no great defense between men and women, and it seems that he should have good manners. The most important thing is that since Zisu came to Su Yunduo's side, Su Yunduo's behavior has become even greater. Progress, not to mention in private, at least in front of people is still very dignified, it can be seen that Su Yunduo himself is also paying attention to the cultivation of personal qualities.

It's just that Mrs. Kong has no intention of letting Su Yunduo learn those rules that distort people's temperament, and Su Yunduo is not a person who is willing to be bound by rules, and the two of them can see each other's mind at the moment from each other's eyes.

In fact, compared to Mrs. Kong, Zisu, who can be sent by Mrs. Zhen Guogong to serve Lu Jinkang, knows more about the etiquette of the noble ladies in the capital. Zisu even taught Su Yunduo some court etiquette, so she is serious. When Su Yunduo got up, she could sit or stand, and there was not much Madam Kong could teach her.

However, although Su Yunduo complained about Ning's bringing her to Mrs. Kong to learn the rules, she also understood Ning's motherly love, and in the end she obediently learned some daily etiquette from Mrs. Kong.

First, the practice of walking posture. Mrs. Kong asked someone to take a thick book, and then asked someone to bring a big bowl filled with clean water.

Put the book on top of Su Yunduo's head first, and let her walk around the room.

Su Yunduo walked steadily around with the book on her head, her steps were light and steady.

Mrs. Kong smiled slightly, and then asked Zisu to put the bowl of clear water on top of the book that Su Yunduo was holding.

Before Zisu put the bowl of clear water on Su Yunduo's head, Ning already became nervous. She stared at Zisu with her mouth slightly open, wishing she could go forward to help Su Yunduo hold the bird on her head. bowl.

Whoever walks without swaying, can the bowl on the top of the head stay still?
The bowl moved, wouldn't all the clear water in the bowl splash into Su Yunduo's neck?In this cold day, cold water has entered the neck, what should I do if I catch a cold? !

At this time, Ning really felt a little regretful. If she had known that Mrs. Kong was teaching people how to behave, she should have waited, at least until the weather was warmer before learning!

No matter how regretful Ning was, she was too embarrassed to give up halfway at this time, and just stared nervously at Su Yunduo who was about to walk while holding a bowl of clear water.

Su Yunduo's performance not only opened Ning's eyes, but also made Madam Kong's admiration.

I saw her walking with clear water on top of her head. Although the clear water in the bowl was not said to be calm and waveless, there was no drop of water splashing out of the bowl. What's more, Su Yunduo's body did not appear stiff, and the calmness of walking was not the same. It's no worse than those ladies in the capital who have been taught by everyone's rules and etiquette since they were young.

At this moment, although Su Yunduo is dressed in plain clothes, it is hard to conceal her brilliance. In an instant, she has changed from a country girl to a lady of the family. Not to mention that Ning is stunned, even the well-informed Mrs. Kong can't help but Much appreciated.

There is no need to teach this, there is no need to change into brocade clothes, and there is no need to paint eyebrows and apply powder. She is a lady of a big family.

Su Yunduo felt very unhappy seeing his own mother stunned.

It's just that it's too tiring to carry it like this. This is not the capital city, and it's not the time for her to set the rules. She is still a relaxed country girl, waiting for Zisu to come forward to take away the bowl on her head and take away the books on her head. Seeing Su Yunduo's shoulders slumped, everyone became a country girl in an instant.

Ning blinked her eyes, as if she hadn't recovered from Su Yunduo's sudden change, she shook her head and gave Su Yunduo a long look: "I just thought you didn't want to learn the rules, but you already did. You child, this is a good thing, why hide it from mother?"

Where did I secretly learn the rules and etiquette?
These rules and etiquette were learned when I was in college to work for an etiquette company.

In order to become Miss Manners, she had to suffer a lot. Walking with clear water on her head was nothing more than a side dish.

Of course, Su Yunduo didn't know whether the etiquette of the previous life was suitable for this world, so she specifically asked Zi Su for advice. Except for the rituals such as blessing kneeling and kneeling in the previous life, Su Yunduo's etiquette really has no problem, and Fuli kneeling It is not difficult to get up.

However, since Ning believed that she had secretly learned these rules and etiquette, and Zisu had given her demonstrations and pointers, Su Yunduo simply accepted Ning's statement, so that Ning would not always have something on her mind, so her face showed A shy smile said: "I'm not doing this to impress my mother."

As he spoke, he took Ning Shi's arm, half of his body leaned against Ning Shi, there was no trace of a ladylike appearance, but Ning Shi himself didn't have that self-consciousness, and was very happy because Su Yunduo was rarely close to him.

Mrs. Kong couldn't help shaking her head and sighing. Ning's family is confused, but she has a clever and shrewd daughter. Even if there is a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair in the capital, with Su Yunduo watching and protecting her, it won't be too much of a problem, of course. It is inevitable to suffer some hardships.
