Li Zhi and Li Chan both got Li Chengze's promise, knowing that they could learn to read characters from Gu Celadon, they were very happy.

Now there are people doing all the chores that should be cooking and washing in the East Yard, and the Bai family is free, let alone the two sisters.

After breakfast, Sun went out to talk to her old sisters.Bai originally agreed to a landlord’s wife and prepared to go out, but when she saw her mother-in-law had gone out first, she was not at ease at home if there were no masters and only two laymen, so she pointed to a mother-in-law and asked them to go. Invite the Mrs. Wu to come home and talk.

The Li sisters took advantage of this gap and went to the West Yard.

It's just that the two of them feel a little embarrassed. They used to bother their sister-in-law to teach, but their mother didn't even prepare for a knife or a pen. She had nothing to do with her.

Li Zhi was one year older, and he mentioned this to Bai's the first night, but he did not expect that Bai's retorted her.

Bai's brows were calm, and he reprimanded: "What is it! Why did I give birth to your two stupid daughters, but I came to my mother to ask for paper and pen. When have you ever seen those things in my house? Gu's Which one is it? That is a young lady from Hou Men. Now your sister-in-law, your elder brother has ordered her to teach you how to read, can she still prepare things for you? Muyu head, there are no rare objects in her house, just You idiot, but Xiaojia is stingy to take care of me with pens and papers." He pulled a handful of ears as he said.

Li Zhi couldn't lift his head at Bai's scolding, biting his lip and dared not speak.

In front of outsiders, the Bai family was gentle and virtuous, but he was a bit harsh and mean to teach his daughter inside the house.

One incident happened when she was young, when she was not married in her natal family.

At that time, there was a family next door to the Bai family. There was an only daughter in the family, who was two or three years older than the Bai family.

The Bai family had a large population and more girls. In addition to Bai himself, there were two sisters, one cousin, and two cousins ​​who lived together.

Daughters are not considered more important than men, so their life is not so easy. Not to mention other things, only food and clothing. It is common for the Bai family to see meat and fish on the dinner table in a few months. The clothes are small and large. , It may not be possible to buy a new one year round.

But the family next door to the Bai family is completely different. The only daughter in that family has been in pain since she was a child, but she is better than a few sons and grandchildren.

The girl usually doesn't lack pocket money, and she often sees her running out to buy some snacks and snacks.Such a spoiled and cultivated temperament is also lovely and lively.

On weekdays, the Bai sisters have ten thousand and ten thousand jealous of that girl.

It was just never expected that the girl would later marry a man with a slope.

It is said that it was the girl who knew someone first herself, crying and crying to marry.

None of her parents can't help her go.

At the beginning, this matter became a joke in the neighborhood. The women in the streets and alleys would not talk privately, laugh at the girl without shame, and said that she was blind, which made the men lose their souls.

Because of this, the mother of the Bai family caught the three daughters into the house that year, and exhorted them one by one, telling them that this was the consequence of petting their daughters, saying that a woman had a shallow eyelid and a shallow heart. It is so loose and indulgent to raise, and it is more inconsistent to raise, and it is easy to lose shame. Therefore, if you want to make a girl virtuous and sensible, you have to work harder, and you will know how to restrain yourself and make no mistakes in the future.

The Bai family's mother is a widowed person. She is middle-aged widowed and widowed. She has her face strained for many years. She never laughs in front of outsiders and is very serious.

She poured those awkward words into her daughter's ears, making them work more and less talking, and be gentle and polite, but at the same time she held her only young son in her palm and carried it with her wherever she went. Eyes, for fear that something has happened.

The Bai family was raised in this way since he was a child, and he didn't realize that it was bad. He even agreed with her mother's practice. After giving birth to a daughter, he was strict with her daughter and never looked amiable.

Li Zhi Li Chan was given a lesson and went out of the room. When the Bai family left and disappeared, Li Chan breathed a sigh of relief, took Li Zhi's hand, and said, "Sister, I don’t need to see these things again in the future. My mother told me, where will she take care of it."

Li Zhi hesitated at first, then nodded, and said in a low voice: "Forget it, let's... go over there first, I don't know if Big Brother is out."

Li Chan said: "There must be no. I saw the ingot just now."

The two of them said this while walking to the west courtyard.

The two sisters only went to the West Yard to see the excitement on the day that Gu Celadon came to take off the dowry.

After all, it is the yard where the brother and sister-in-law lives.

The little door was closed by itself, and after a knock, someone came to open it.

When they saw it was ingot, the two smiled.

It is estimated that Yuan Bao had been ordered by Li Chengze, knowing that the two were coming over this morning, so they kept paying attention.

Yuan Bao invited Ann first. He smiled and said, "The two girls are here, come in quickly, and I will take you to see the uncle and young grandmother."

Li Zhi Li Chan lowered his head slightly, and seemed uncomfortable to be saluted.

But I was relieved to hear that my brother was at home.

Although they are not very close to Li Chengze, they are the eldest brother, and they have a blood relationship.Gu Celadon is really not much worse than a stranger. I haven't said a few times. I only know that his sister-in-law is of noble background and her temper seems not very good. Even grandmother dares to contradict her.

The two sisters groaned in their hearts and followed Yuan Bao into the inner courtyard. When they arrived in the corridor, another maid Qiuju came over and led them away.

Before entering the main room, Li Zhi and Li Chan heard voices coming from the room.

When they entered the outhouse, they changed another person to lead them, and the two of them moved slightly in their hearts. These were things that they had never learned before, giving people a sense of strictness and rigor in performing their duties.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through my mind, and I kept walking under my feet. When I reached one of the rooms, another maid helped to tie the curtain, and whispered: "Grandma and grandma, the two girls are here."

Gu Celadon's crisp and soft voice came over, "Please come in quickly."

Li Zhi Li Chan went in.

As soon as he looked up, in the room, Li Chengze and Gu Celadon sat face to face on the cave. There was a dark square low table in the middle with a chess board on which they were playing chess.

Gu Celadon wore a luxurious top made of light gold apricot and yellow two-color woven brocade fabric, lined with a pink horse skirt.

Her complexion is extremely pale, and this dress makes her look bright and beautiful.

Because I know that someone is coming today, I naturally dress more formally.

With the hand holding the chess piece, I saw that Haobai's wrist was wearing a jade white bracelet, and the other hand was wearing a pair of finely carved gold bracelets.

The whole body looks like a noble person.

Not to mention how many rare and rare treasures are placed in this awkward room.

There were blankets on the ground, and the two girls from the Li family hardly dared to step off.

There was a timid expression on his face.

They have never seen such a house, have been to such a place.

Moreover, the closeness of Gu Celadon and Li Chengze makes people flush with shame.

When the two sisters saw the ceremony, they called the eldest brother and sister-in-law.

As soon as Li Cheng looked up and saw the two of them, he said: "I and you have prepared books, paper and pen, so that we can learn Chinese characters with your sister-in-law in the future." After the words fell, Yuzhu took a few steps forward and got the preparations prepared early in the morning. The two bamboo woven boxes were taken out and given to two people separately.

It’s not easy to play chess at this moment, Li Chengze stood up, smiled at Gu Celadon and said, “I’ll play with you another day, you teach them first, and I’ll pass it first.” Step away.
