Chapter 155 Learning ([-])

"We are going to learn embroidery soon, would my cousin go with us?" Ling Qianqian asked Li Xin after breakfast at Madam Ling's place.

The Ling family, regardless of gender, has to go to school.However, men and women are naturally different. It is very difficult for men to go to school, but for women, it is much easier.On weekdays, I usually go to school every other day. In the morning, I learn embroidery, women's manners, rules, etc., and in the afternoon, I learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

These lessons come in rotation, usually one stage at a time.In the afternoon class, it is said to be piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but in fact, you may not have to learn everything. If you don’t have the talent in this area, or you are not interested, you can simply learn it, at least get started, not to mention how good it is , can understand, understand, have the most basic appreciation ability on the line.

This world naturally advocates the saying that "women are virtuous without talent", but in fact, it is the instinct of men to restrain women from becoming stronger, so as to consolidate men's dominance over the world.Therefore, most women are illiterate, and occasionally there will be a few talented women, which are also passed down from their parents.

Many women from rich and noble families naturally have few talented women, most of them just know a few words, have read the Women's Training Rules and the like.Ordinary housewives only need to know how to read the account books and be able to communicate with people simply.You don't need to have much knowledge, and you don't have to take the imperial examination like men.

After all, most of the famous talented women in history lived a rough life, and their lives were not smooth, so few of them may want to follow in that footsteps.Besides, no matter how talented a woman is, there is no use for her, so why study so hard!Useless things are just a waste to learn. It is better to learn how to embroider a female craftsman. After all, there is still some use.

Therefore, it is relatively easy for the young ladies of the Ling family to study on weekdays.Especially the elder Ling Xixi, who has been studying for many years, and has already learned almost everything that should be learned. If she hasn't learned it after all these years, there is no need to continue learning. Compared with Ling Xixi's age, It's already time to say goodbye, and the time in this house won't be too long.

After studying for a long time, the rules and demeanor have already been integrated into the bones. Generally speaking, things that are used every day will not make mistakes. Naturally, even reviewing can be avoided.On the other hand, the female workers' embroidery, of course, the more diligent the better, so they have been learning, or practicing slowly by themselves, and comprehending from it.This is not so necessary to go to class, that is, to ask the teacher occasionally when there is a problem.Or the teacher assigns homework, when it is done, just show it to the teacher.

On the contrary, Ling Keke, Ling Qianqian, and Ling Feifei, who are younger, still need to study hard. Although they don't have to go every day, they must go often.

"But I haven't even learned embroidery from a female worker. I don't know if my husband won't accept me!" Li Xin smiled.She didn't even study hard as a female worker, so she followed to learn embroidery. I don't know what will happen!Although I wanted to learn it, I didn't want to learn embroidery right away!

"It's okay. Although my husband is a bit harsh sometimes, he is a very peaceful person on weekdays. As long as my cousin is willing to study hard, the husband will definitely accept my cousin." Ling Xixi said with a smile.

"Xinyao, follow your sisters to take a look! It's time for your female worker to learn, don't delay. In a year or two, you will start talking about kissing. By then, There is no time to learn." Mrs. Ling also said with a smile, her face was gentle and peaceful.

"Okay, then I'll go and have a look with my cousins!" Li Xin nodded and agreed.It must be a long time to live in Ling's house. If there is nothing to do all the time, it will be really boring.Why don't you just learn what you need to learn!Also as a time to kill boredom.

I got used to being busy when I was at home, and suddenly I don’t do anything when I’m free, it’s really boring!Speaking of it, I'm still guilty of selfishness. When I'm too busy, I hope that I can completely relax sometime and just do nothing.When I was really free, I felt uncomfortable everywhere, as if my body was going to rust.

Li Xin agreed, and it was getting late, Madam Ling asked Haitang to accompany Li Xin and asked Ling Xixi to go with her.Haitang is Mrs. Ling's eldest maid, and it would be better for Haitang to bring Li Xin there.

After leaving Songhe Hall, several people went to the place where the class was held.The place where Ms. Ling's family attends classes is called Jijin Building. It is a small two-storey building. The decoration is very delicate. It looks like a place where girls come.

After entering the Jijin building, the maids of the Ling family's ladies were already waiting in the building with the things they needed for embroidery.A group of people entered the study place. Learning embroidery is a process that needs to be quiet, so the place is arranged on the second floor.After entering the door, the inside is really quiet, without any noise.

Someone was already present, Li Xin looked at it, it was Ling Keke, the second young lady of the Ling family.Ling Keke was quietly embroidering a piece of handkerchief by herself, and Ling Xixi, Ling Qianqian, and Ling Feifei all went to their respective seats and sat down.

Haitang took Li Xin to find the husband, who was in a cubicle next to him, and the class hadn't officially started at this time, so the husband hadn't come out yet.

The teacher who taught female workers embroidery was a middle-aged woman, surnamed Zhang, who was said to be the heir of Su embroidery and was good at embroidery, so she was hired by the Ling family.Ordinary embroiderers, no matter how good their skills are, will not do it for a lifetime. After all, doing embroidery all day is very harmful to the eyes. When people reach middle age, their eyes will gradually fail.Some work too hard, and even go blind.

Therefore, ordinary embroiderers still rely on their skills to earn some money, and in the next few years, they will still devote themselves to teaching young ladies in rich and noble families.It is a very easy job just to teach it, and there is still a lot of money, so many people are still willing.

"Mr. Zhang, this is our Miss Biao. She just came back to the mansion two days ago. Miss Biao has been wandering outside, and she has never studied female workers well. The old lady wants Mr. Zhang to teach Miss Biao too." Seeing Zhang Sir, Haitang said with a smile.

"Miss Haitang has come here in person! Let the old lady rest assured! I will definitely teach Miss Biao well. However, what Miss Biao can learn depends on herself."

"The master leads the door, and the practice is up to the individual. I understand this, as long as the master is willing to teach, I will definitely study hard, and please don't hesitate to teach me." Li Xin smiled and saluted Mr. Zhang.

"Miss Biao doesn't need to be too polite. As long as Miss Biao is willing to learn, I will definitely not hide my secrets." Mr. Zhang also smiled.

"Sir, you don't have to always call me Miss Biao. If you don't mind, you can call me 'Xinyao'!"

"Miss Xinyao." Mr. Zhang is as good as others.

Soon, it was time for the class to start, and Mr. Zhang led Xinyao into the class place.Compared with people with different foundations, naturally they cannot take classes together. Therefore, Mr. Zhang has always taught one by one.The main ones to teach are the younger Ling Qianqian and Ling Feifei.For the older Ling Keke and Ling Xixi, it is enough to point them out occasionally.

Mr. Zhang brought Xinyao into the classroom, and Haitang said goodbye first and left.Mr. Zhang carefully checked the homework of some of them, and then taught Ling Qianqian and Ling Feifei a few acupuncture techniques.This is mainly to teach Li Xin. Li Xin has never learned it before, so Mr. Zhang taught her from the simplest acupuncture.

After teaching the stitches, Mr. Zhang gave her a piece of cloth and asked her to do stitches on it.At the beginning, of course, she didn't want to embroider anything, but just asked her to embroider straight lines. As long as the stitches were neat and the stitches were the same, it would be fine.However, even this is not easy, so it takes a lot of practice.

Let the students practice on their own, and Mr. Zhang went to the side to quietly embroider his own embroidery.Li Xin noticed for a moment that the embroidery cloth that Mr. Zhang embroidered was very large. It seemed that he was embroidering a screen.

Just a casual glance, I feel that the embroidery is extremely exquisite, the plants, trees, flowers and birds on it are so lifelike, the embroidery is extremely vivid.In the past, Li Xin did not think of learning embroidery well, but at this moment, she really felt that Mr. Zhang was very good.That embroidery work is indeed very good, I don't know when she will be able to learn [-]% of Mr. Zhang's skills!
No matter what, I still have to study hard, I only hope that I can embroider a simple embroidery picture by myself anytime!
I don't know how long it has been since she embroidered, her body is a little stiff, and her hands are sore, so Li Xin wants to take a break and rub her shoulders and arms.But suddenly found that Mr. Zhang was standing quietly beside her, so suddenly, I was really shocked!

"Miss Xinyao, let's take a break! Although you have to study hard, you still need to take some rest. For things like embroidery, if you don't move for a long time, it will still hurt your body." Mr. Zhang smiled.

"Thank you, sir."

"I'll teach you several acupuncture techniques. You can practice them well when you go back. When you come back, bring them here for me to check. If you pass the test, you can continue to learn other acupuncture techniques."

"it is good."

Next, Mr. Zhang taught Li Xin some acupuncture techniques.Before you know it, the morning class is over.Li Xin bid farewell to the young ladies of the Ling family, and was about to go back to Caixia Pavilion.

"Class in the afternoon, is cousin coming?" Just as Li Xin was about to leave, Ling Feifei grabbed her sleeve.

"Is everyone still coming to class in the afternoon?" Li Xin looked at Ling Xixi.

"I'm going to come over, cousin, come too!" Ling Qianqian nodded with a smile.
