Chapter 121 Are You Teaching Me the Rules? (2 in 1)

In the past years, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qin Liuxi either spent the festival with a few servants in the old house, or practiced in the Taoist temple, or practiced medicine outside. Unlike this year, the whole family spent the festival together.

Qin Liuxi got up before dawn and meditated in the house. After running a big cycle, he washed and changed clothes leisurely and went to Wang's place to pay his respects in the morning and evening.

When she arrived, Wang had already gotten up and was asking Aunt Wan a question. Qin Mingchun stood under the seat, sitting upright, with a pair of dark eyes that glanced at the door from time to time. When he saw Qin Liuxi, he stood up subconsciously.

Qin Liuxi glanced at him and stepped forward to greet Wang and Aunt Wan.

"No need to be polite." Wang smiled and raised her hand.

Qin Mingchun saw Qin Liuxi had done the greeting, so he came to her and bowed: "Greetings to my elder sister."

"Yes." Qin Liuxi nodded: "Bring your copybook."

Qin Mingchun's little body trembled, looked at Wang, and then looked at Aunt Wan, save the child!

Aunt Wan avoided his sight, looked down at her hands and sighed with pity, her originally delicate hands had become much thicker, pitiful.

Wang smiled and said: "Bring it here quickly for your elder sister to comment on it."

Qin Mingchun lowered his head, alas, there was no way to escape.

He took small steps and came to his desk, took the copybook he had copied recently, and then walked over slowly. Before handing it out, he reminded: "Elder sister, I am five years old this year."

That is, be gentle later.

Qin Liuxi directly pulled his copybook, glanced at it, and said: "As the saying goes, seeing the handwriting is like seeing the person. Your handwriting is so ugly, do you think it matches your handsome face?"

She pinched his cheeks.

Qin Mingchun's mouth shrank, and he looked like he was about to cry: "I write every day, and my hands are cramping. I have never written so many words."

"Feeling tired?" Qin Liuxi snorted: "Your elder brother, you can't even write at a desk like you, and you dare to be wronged?"

Qin Mingchun's body was numb, and he raised his head to look at his stepmother. Seeing that she was stunned and distressed, he said: "I... "

"It's still ugly, a mess, but at least it's easier to tell what the word is than before. Practice more. If you feel bitter, think about what I said just now." Qin Liuxi stuffed the paper back into his hand.

Qin Mingchun was suddenly a little happy: "So are you praising me? Not beating me?"

The surprise came too suddenly and it didn't seem real.

"You have made great progress. It's the Spring Festival, so I won't beat you for now." Qin Liuxi glared at him: "But next time you write like this, you try it?"

She clenched her fists, and her finger bones crackled.

Qin Mingchun's face turned pale, woo, big sister is so scary.

Wang smiled and said: "Okay, Xi'er, don't bluff him. Reading and writing are not something that can be learned overnight. Take your time."

"I understand. Mother has nothing to do on weekdays. If she is willing, it will be his blessing to teach him. If she really has no time, then let's prevent him from growing ugly. Without talent, this face is his retreat."

The more disgusted the tone, the more cruel the words.

Wang said: "It's not good for this boy to grow up in the hands of a woman. After the New Year, send them to the school in Licheng."

By then, the Qin family will not be too conspicuous when they walk around outside.

Qin Liuxi doesn't care. Whether it's going to school or hiring a teacher at home, she has no opinion.

"Let's go and pay respects to your grandmother." Wang stood up.

...

Mrs. Qin's courtyard was very lively, crowded with people early in the morning, and her grandchildren were kneeling down to greet her.

When Qin Liuxi and her group appeared, everyone looked over.

When Xie saw her, her eyes dodged, and she touched her nose, and felt the pain again.

When the other elders saw her, and compared them with the younger generations around them, they felt a little disappointed and mixed.

The Qin family was defeated, and everyone from the oldest to the youngest fell from the clouds to the mud, from noble ladies to chaff, and from noble ladies to village girls.

But when they saw Qin Liuxi, they felt that the Qin family was not defeated. On her face, there was never that panicky and unreasoned expression, nor was there any petty timidity. She stood straight, her face was calm, and her eyes were arrogant, making people dare not look at her.

They felt that they were seen through at a glance.

They dared not look directly at her, so they secretly glanced at her. Today, she was wearing a new set of lake blue clothes that they had never seen before. The hem of her skirt was embroidered with some auspicious cloud patterns. Her black hair was tied into a simple bun with a jade hairpin, and she only had one earring hanging on each ear. She looked plain and simple.

They all wore new clothes and came to pay their respects in the most appropriate way, but compared with Qin Liuxi, why did they feel like they were just green leaves?

Wang smiled and bowed to Old Lady Qin and said a few auspicious and festive words during the festival.

Aunt Wan also bowed, just like a little swallow, and stood on Aunt Qin's side.

Qin Mingchun knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to pay his respects. The little etiquette was very formal, and it was obvious that Wang had trained her in private lessons.

When Old Lady Qin saw this, she felt sad and heartbroken. The eldest son of the first branch only had two sons and one daughter, and the legitimate eldest son was in exile. Was Wang afraid that the legitimate son would be harmed in the northwest, so she placed all her love on this little bastard? Or was it to prepare for a rainy day and make sure that the other branch of the first branch was well-equipped just in case.

No matter which point, Wang was impeccable.

"Stand up."

It was Qin Liuxi's turn. She just put her hands on her waist, bent her knees, said hello, and stood up. Kowtow?

No!

"Big sister, you should kneel down and kowtow to grandma." A duck voice sounded dissatisfied.

Qin Liuxi looked over and raised his eyebrows. Oh, today the guardian of family rules has become a man.

Look at Qin Mingqi's eyebrows are all wrinkled, his eyes are unhappy, as if she has done something against her reputation, it's really funny.

Before Qin Liuxi spoke, Qin Mingyue spoke first, saying softly: "Third brother, big sister may not understand this kind of etiquette, so don't blame her, big sister is not in good health."

Look, considerately send you to the tip of the knife, kind, isn't it?

Qin Liuxi said: "Second sister is still considerate of me and knows that I am not in good health. Thank you. If you can kowtow to grandma on my behalf, then sister will thank you even more."

Come on, sister will give you a chance to establish your kind saintly persona!

Qin Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and said in a gentle voice: "Big sister, this is not in accordance with etiquette."

"That's right, there is no substitute for kowtow, big sister, you don't understand, just learn it now. Our Qin family is a family of poetry, literature and etiquette. You are a girl of the Qin family, and the eldest daughter of the eldest house. If you don't learn such etiquette, won't your aunt be criticized for not teaching you well?" Qin Mingqi raised his chin and said with his hands behind his back.

Qin Liuxi was a little annoyed.

She stopped smiling, glanced at Qin Mingqi, and said: "So you are teaching me the rules now?"

Qin Mingqi was about to speak, and she said again: "Who do you think you are?"
