Rebirth cannon fodder

Chapter 56
What a back!Xu Manzhen sat down on the seat a little dejectedly, thinking in her heart, if Xu Shixun happened to catch up with the painting class this time, wouldn't it be a completely different situation?
However, there are no "ifs" in this world.Therefore, Xu Manzhen could only sit downcastly on the seat, and what was even more unfortunate was that Xu Yingzhen who was at the side was very excited when she saw this, and had already cast a contemptuous look at her.

Xu Manzhen was devastated, Xu Yingzhen was not to mention how happy she was, it was even happier than being praised.

Xu Manzhen lowered her head, as if she was sad because of being scolded by her father - but in fact, it was just a trivial matter, why did she just take this opportunity to quietly look at the expressions of everyone in the room.

Mr. Huang will not talk about it, Xu Shixun was furious in her class, and two of the three students were sleeping soundly. They swept Xu Manzhen for a while, and Xu Yingzhen for a while. Only Xu Yingzhen didn't notice it, and only cared about being happy.

I don't know why she is so happy.

Xu Shixun looked very disappointed, and... that expression seemed to be a little... It shouldn't just be disappointment at his daughter's poor academic performance, it seemed that there was something more to it.

what is it?Xu Manzhen suddenly remembered a plot, counting the time, that is, this period of time, that is, for some reason, Xu Shixun suddenly asked the three daughters in the family to carefully prepare a gift for each of them, and he wanted to choose one among them. The best come out.It seems that I want to send someone...

As for who to give it to... The original script didn't mention it at all, because in the original play, Xu Shuzhen, who was excellent in studies, won the first prize with a carefully prepared embroidery, but this embroidery was destroyed by an angry Xu Manzhen .

The only thing that was available was destroyed, and Xu Manzhen and Xu Yingzhen couldn't produce anything decent, and it was too late to embroider another one... In the end, what Xu Shixun found as a gift for others, Xu Manzhen can't do it now. But I know, but this matter is a very crucial matter in the whole play.

Before that, no matter how messed up Xu Manzhen was, she was the only legitimate daughter of the Xu family. Although Xu Shixun, the father, didn't like this clumsy and domineering daughter very much, but, at least on the surface, he was passable. I feel sorry for this sister.

However, when Xu Manzhen destroyed Xu Shuzhen's embroidery, her status in the mansion changed a lot and became even more embarrassing.Xu Shixun almost regarded this daughter as non-existent, while Xu Shuzhen's status rose in a straight line.

Even Xu Dahong treated his younger sister a lot less...

Xu Manzhen thought about this matter carefully.Why does Xu Shixun insist that his daughters prepare gifts for others by themselves?
Although as the saying goes, goose feathers are sent thousands of miles away, but the gift is light and the affection is heavy... However, in general, the actual value of the gift itself is the most important thing when giving a gift.But why did Xu Shixun have to ask his daughters to make gifts by themselves?
If it's an ordinary family, just find a more precious gift and give it to them. What kind of family does it need to use things made by the children...

Moreover, when this gift is destroyed, Xu Shixun will be so angry... Xu Manzhen remembers very clearly that in the original script, Xu Manzhen suffered a lot. Not to mention the change from top to bottom, the yard I lived in was also moved from One Leaf Garden to a small house. It was originally a place for unfavored concubines to live in, and the monthly payment was also reduced. Banned for half a year...

All of these show that this incident is very important in Xu Shixun's eyes, but the original drama did not point out, in the end, he wants to prepare gifts for whom...

In short, I can only affirm that he is a very important person... so important that Xu Shixun attaches so much importance to this gift.

Another important point is that the family may not care much about the actual value of the gift, but may pay more attention to the heart.

What kind of family has such values?
It's a pity that she still doesn't know enough about this era, and no matter whether it is Bai Xin or Jiang Gui, they only know the small house of Xu Mansion, and they don't know much more about the outside world than she does.

However, since it is such an important opportunity, what if...you grasp it?
If he had grasped it by himself, would his impression in Xu Shixun's mind have changed a lot?Especially now, when he was too bad at embroidery?
Xu Shuzhen, who was sitting by the side, kept her face calm, as if none of these things had anything to do with her.Xu Manzhen, who has experienced many battles, couldn't help but secretly admire her good mentality.

"Xu Yingzhen, take out one of your embroidery." Xu Shixun called the name again.

Now it was Xu Yingzhen's turn to be dumbfounded.Her embroidery?She is only slightly better than Xu Manzhen, but sometimes she gets two needles... But if there is a finished product... there is really nothing.

"Hurry up." Xu Shixun's tone was very impatient.If anyone saw Xu Manzhen's handkerchief, his temper would not be so good.She made fun of Xu Manzhen just now, but now it's her turn to be unlucky.

Xu Yingzhen dragged a small purse up and handed it to her father.

Xu Shixun took the purse and took a look, the expression on his face was even more horrible. He stared at the purse for a while, said nothing, threw it directly into Xu Yingzhen's arms with a dark face, and waved her down.

Xu Yingzhen also blushed and came down.Her father didn't even scold her, which made her feel a little ashamed, and kept thinking, was it because her father's move was so bad that he couldn't get up the energy to scold her, or...she was better than Xu Manzhen? It's a little bit stronger, so you don't have to scold?

She looked at her purse over and over for a while, and then concluded that it must be better than Xu Manzhen's.So, she immediately felt complacent again.She is still aware of Xu Manzhen's craftsmanship, and it is definitely not as good as her own.

"Xu Shuzhen, bring your paper here." Xu Shixun lost all strength and became angry, pinning his last hope on Xu Shuzhen.When they came in just now, both Xu Manzhen and Xu Yingzhen were asleep, especially Xu Yingzhen, who was snoring loudly... only Xu Shuzhen was embroidering things seriously.

Maybe Xu Shuzhen can come up with something decent.

Xu Shuzhen stood up lightly, holding a small embroidery frame in her hand, and handed it to her father.

Xu Shixun didn't have any hope at first, but when he took the piece and looked at it, his eyes lit up immediately, his mood improved, and he praised it repeatedly.

"Father is too good." Xu Shuzhen seemed a little embarrassed, blushing, and said softly, "Shuzhen just likes to embroider, so she puts more effort into it..."

"It's not a little bit, it's hard work." Xu Shixun turned the embroidery frame over, and was even more surprised, it turned out to be double-sided embroidery!Double-sided embroidery is very difficult. It turns out that Shuzhen's skills are already this deep?
"It's a pity that it's a little small." Xu Shixun looked at the embroidery frame in his hand, said something regretful, and added something in his heart, the theme didn't quite fit.This double-sided embroidery is just the most common flowers and birds. It seems that it is just for practice, but it is not enough.

Xu Shuzhen's ears heard something cleverly, and she immediately thought about it.

From the women's school office to now, except for the first day when my father came to see him, he has never been here for several years, but he came suddenly today, which proves that he has something to do, and it is still very important.

But what can happen?A little smaller?What is less useful?
Xu Manzhen was scolded to the brim and Xu Shuzhen was praised. The person who was happier than Xu Shuzhen was Xu Yingzhen. She was looking at Xu Manzhen triumphantly.

Xu Manzhen didn't care either.Among the few people present, perhaps except Xu Shixun himself, he knows the truth best.That being the case, why bother with a child?
There will be more opportunities to teach her in the future.

An even more surprising thing happened. After Xu Shixun went through all the embroidery of the three daughters, he didn't leave. Instead, he had someone bring in a Taishi chair. He sat comfortably on it and watched the three daughters go to class. .

Now, the three girls became more honest, and none of them dared to sleep, talk, or eat snacks anymore.Even Mr. Huang felt a lot of pressure.

What Xu Shixun did made everyone else hesitate, but only Xu Manzhen became more certain that he was indeed a very important person. Xu Shixun obviously wanted to see the academic situation of his three daughters, so it was easy to make arrangements.

In the piano art class, Xu Shixun spoke again and asked the three daughters to perform the piano art respectively.

This time, instead of letting Xu Manzhen be the first, he asked Xu Shuzhen to perform.Xu Shuzhen's piano skills are quite good, Xu Shixun nodded after playing a piece.

Xu Yingzhen's piano skills were mediocre, and she was passable. Xu Shixun was still expressionless when he heard her finish playing stumblingly, and didn't say anything.

Xu Yingzhen was a little disappointed, but she felt relieved when she thought that there was someone worse than her.

Finally, it was Xu Manzhen's turn.

Xu Manzhen already had a bitter look on her face.In the embroidery class just now, she was able to use Jiang Gui's handkerchief against her. Although Jiang Gui's embroidery was ugly, she was still better than herself, but she couldn't even embroider a duck.

However, there is no way to find someone to replace the piano!Xu Manzhen put her fingers on the strings of the guqin with trepidation, hesitating.

Although Mrs. Xu has been giving her little tips these days, the only thing she can master now is the basic fingerings... Xu Shixun can't let her perform all the fingerings, can he?

In that case, it would be better not to act.

This is great, it's going to be criticized again, that's really embarrassing!But the only painting class he is good at is in the afternoon!

How can this be done?
　Creation, creation, don't swallow my words
　　It will be released at three o'clock
