The Lin family had meals, and all the men were on the table. Female dependents can't serve, they can only eat at the low table below.

Gu Xian is disgusted with this rule, but the customs in this area are so. She can only obey it.

Today, when the whole family got together, the lunch was quite rich, including roast goose, fish with pickled vegetables, braised bamboo shoots, Mapo Tofu, and scrambled eggs with towel gourd.

Such as Tong looking at so many dishes, two eyes bright. On weekdays, there is only one meat dish at the dinner table for their wives, which is as delicious as it is now.

Seeing these dishes, Gu Xian frowned and said, "sister-in-law, didn't I tell you to make a soup?"

Mrs. Lin immediately pulled down her face: "so many dishes are not enough for you?" It's really miss Jiao. Every time I come back, I don't think it's good to say hello.

Gu Xian explained: "mother, Qingshu hurt her spleen and stomach because of her illness last time. The doctor specially told us that we should eat light food and avoid spicy food. "

It is said that the spleen and stomach were injured by illness. In fact, none of the people present knew that it was because of drinking the Fu water.

Zhang Qiaoqiao put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "I forgot that I was too busy just now. Now I'm going to make a soup for Qingshu."

"What kind of soup do you make? There are no sponge gourd scrambled eggs. This one can always be eaten."

Gu Xian some embarrassment ground says: "Niang, Qing Shu does not eat towel gourd." Qingshu has been reluctant to eat loofah since childhood, which is completely inherited from her mother. Old lady Gu doesn't eat Luffa.

Mrs. Lin slapped her chopsticks heavily on the table: "then don't eat. She is used to being choosy. "

Gu Xian is not good to quarrel with the old lady, so she has to appease Qing Shu and say, "Qing Shu, shall we have eggs?"

Qingshu is not picky now, but Gu Xian can fight for her, she is very happy.

Looking at Qingshu eating a bowl of rice with towel gourd, Mrs. Lin hummed: "you see, she doesn't eat very well now. Don't be so used to her in the future."

Gu Xian looked at Qingshu unexpectedly, then nodded: "yes, Niang."

Back in the room, Gu Xian asked, "Qingshu, didn't you think Luffa was too sweet and greasy to eat before?"

Qingshu had prepared his speech: "grandfather he said he can't be picky, picky food doesn't grow high."

Gu Xian hugged Qingshu in her arms and said happily, "Qingshu in my family has really grown up."

Qingshu nestled in Gu Xian's arms and said softly, "mother, I don't like it here."

No matter how her mother can fight for her, it proves that she loves her. That's enough. We don't demand anything else. People should cherish their blessings. Too much will damage their blessings.

"After the Dragon Boat Festival, we'll go back to the county." Gu Xian doesn't like it here either, but she can't help it. As a daughter-in-law, she can't stay in the county for the holidays.

At noon, Gu Xian took the Three Character Classic to teach Qingshu. Although he only studied for a few days, Qingshu learned most of it. She can recite everything she has learned.

"Sister in law..."

Hearing Webster calling, Gu Xian took the book and put it on the table: "please come in, second wife."

Webster took Rutong in, looked at the book on the table and asked, "sister-in-law, are you teaching Qingshu to read?"

Gu Xian nodded her head.

Seeing that Rutong didn't speak, Webster had to say to herself, "sister-in-law, do you think you can teach Rutong to recognize two words?"

Rutong pinches the corner of her clothes and looks at Gu Xian nervously for fear that she will say no.

Although Gu Xian pitied Rutong, she still shook her head and said, "sister-in-law, I don't stay at home for a few days. You'd better find someone else for this matter! " Teaching children is not gravity work, but also very tired. She's pregnant now, but she can't bear it.

"But my sister-in-law and I can't read." If not, how can I ask Gu Xian.

Qingshu deliberately pretended to be ignorant and asked: "Er auntie, you don't know words, er Shu knows words! The second uncle is a child. He can certainly teach the elder sister well. "

Twenty five is still a child, enough to see that there is no talent in reading. It's a pity that he didn't give up and had to take the exam, but her grandparents still supported him.

Wei's complexion is somewhat unnatural and says: "your second uncle wants to study, and has no time to teach Ru Tong."

Qingshu turns his mouth. She has been in the Lin family for so many years, how can she not know that her second uncle, like her grandfather and grandmother, is very patriarchal and thinks that a woman without talent is virtue. In his last life, Webster clamored for a long time to send Rutong to school, but he failed in the end.

Webster saw Gu Xian still not let go, immediately red eyes: "sister-in-law, I don't want to be as blind as I am."

Qingshu knows why Wei is so eager to make Rutong literate, because she wants to marry Rutong to an official family and make her an official wife. In this way, Rutong can live a good life.

Torin Chengyu's blessing, with his pro uncle when Beijing officials, such as Tong later and a young master of the Tang family set up a pro. The boy, though not famous, is said to have some talent in study. Betrothed, such as Tong don't mention more proud.

Gu Xian shook her head and said, "sister-in-law, I'm heavy now. I don't have so much time and energy."

Qingshu is her daughter, no matter how she teaches. Can teach such as Tong, didn't teach good have to complain. She won't do such thankless things.

Wei was a little worried and said, "sister-in-law, I don't want you to teach me extra. Even when I teach red beans, I also teach Rutong."

Gu Xian still shook her head: "Qingshu has recognized thousands of words, and Rutong can't keep up with her progress."

Dong, such as Tong kneeling on the ground: "aunt, I want to read. Aunt, please teach me! "

Before she came, Webster told her that this was her only chance to read. If Gu Xian doesn't agree, she may be blind in her life.

If you are blind, it is difficult to get married to a good family. Although Rutong is only five years old, Webster often talks to her. Therefore, people are precocious.

Qingshu looks at Rutong with new eyes. She is really flexible. She thinks she should learn from Rutong.

Gu Xian busy let servant girl will be such as Tong help up, helplessly said: "I also at home for a few days, is teach also can't teach you much."

"Learn as much as you can," Webster said

The children all kneel down to ask each other, Gu Xian is not good to refuse again: "let Rutong follow Qingshu to learn together!"

Qingshu's face showed a reluctant look, but he didn't say anything against it.

Webster is to see through her mother's temperament, know let such as Tong kneel down for sure can do. Therefore, she is too lazy to say anything against it.

Wei Shi pulls such as Tong to say: "you this wench silly Leng do what, still not quick, thank you aunt."

Rutong kowtowed three heads: "thank you, aunt."

Gu Xian saw that her clothes were still stained with mud and said, "you go to change into clean clothes and come back." If you want her to teach you, you have to dress neatly.

Gu Xian only came back with the Three Character Classic this time, and did not bring any other books, so she could only use this book to teach Rutong.

As a beginner, Rutong and Qingshu can't teach at the same time: "Qingshu, you write the words I just taught you."

Qingshu responded very cleverly.

"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Similar in sex, different in habits... "

Rutong has a good memory, and soon recites a short paragraph taught by Gu Xian.

Gu Xian nodded her head slightly. It's good that the child is smart. What she is most afraid of is that she will encounter stupid people.
