Chapter 37, Sack
Master Qin returned to the Academy of Virtue and Art with a gloomy face. When passing by the classroom, he glanced at Daohua who was sitting at the back with a sinister look in his eyes. Thinking of Madam Li's attitude just now, he had to suppress the anger in his chest and quickly returned to his room.
As soon as Master Qin left, Daohua, who had been concentrating on grinding ink a moment ago, raised her head and looked out the window.
Looking at Master Qin's hurriedly departing back, Daohua's eyes flashed.
How does this saying come from?
It is very important for people to have a good impression of each other.
It was obvious that there was no affinity between her and Master Qin.
The first time she saw Master Qin, she felt that he had a bitter face, was too serious and rigid, and his aura was completely incompatible with hers.
Look, not long after they started dating, she was targeted.
I don’t know what my mother said to her?
Looking at her ugly expression just now, even if he no longer targets her in the future, he probably won't treat her well.
What should she do?
Facing a teacher who doesn't like you and always makes trouble for you all day long will really affect your mood.
Moreover, she didn't like Master Qin's teaching style. It was too dogmatic and oppressive, which was far from the relaxed and pleasant classroom atmosphere she liked.
How can I change a husband?
She needs to think about this carefully.
In the classroom, Xu Keke, Zhu Xiuyun and Fan Siran who were outside the house all quietly looked at Daohua who seemed fine, then turned to look at Yan Yishuang, Yan Yihan and Yan Yile, whispering to each other.
"Your eldest sister is really amazing. She didn't get punished even after contradicting the teacher."
Yan Yishuang's face was not very good, and she muttered: "What is this? She dared to talk back to my father."
"ah!"
Xu Keke and the other two were shocked.
Zhu Xiuyun looked incredulous: "She is so brave. When I saw my dad, I didn't even dare to say a word, let alone talk back."
Yan Yishuang glanced at her and said in a somewhat arrogant tone, "That's because my father has a good temper. Unlike your father, who is a teacher and always talks about rules and etiquette, not to mention you, even I am a little afraid to see him."
Xu Keke curled her lips and said unhappily, "Your father has a good temper? That's because you haven't seen him scold people. Yesterday, your father scolded my father too!"
Yan Yishuang frowned: "Then it must be your father who should be scolded. My father never scolds people for no reason. Besides, my father is the county magistrate and your father is the county magistrate. Isn't it normal for my father to scold your father?"
Hearing this, Xu Ke got angry and turned away: "I won't talk to you anymore."
Yan Yishuang also turned her head away: "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Who cares?"
Seeing the two quarreling, Zhu Xiuyun became anxious: "Aren't we talking about your eldest sister? Why did you quarrel first?" Then she looked at Yan Yile and said, "Sister Yile, come and tell us about your eldest sister."
Yan Yile wanted to say something, but Yan Yihan glared at her, so she had to say, "I haven't finished my homework yet, so I won't tell you for now."
Zhu Xiuyun went to look at Yan Yihan and Fan Siran again, but both of them had their heads down tracing and ignored her.
Seeing this, she had to suppress her gossipy heart.
At this time, Master Qin walked in with a book.
"Greetings, Master!"
Daohua stood up and saluted like everyone else, and her behavior was impeccable.
Master Qin glanced at Daohua, nodded, asked everyone to sit down, and then started the class.
The course progress remained unchanged, but unlike before, from this day on, Master Qin never asked Daohua any questions again.
Without questions, there will naturally be no corrections.
Didn’t she say she was targeting Miss Yan? Now that she doesn’t ask any questions, we can’t find fault with her anymore, right?
Yan Yishuang and the others were a little disappointed when they saw that Master Qin was no longer targeting Daohua. However, they were young and had short memories, so they quickly put the matter aside.
The class seemed to have returned to calm.
However, both Master Qin and Daohua knew that the matter was not over at all.
Master Qin completely ignored Daohua, without asking any questions or correcting her. He just let her do what she wanted, and how much she could learn depended on herself.
As for Daohua, she took a nonchalant attitude towards Master Qin's actions.
As an adult, she could have learned the ancient women's education textbooks by herself, but now she sat obediently in the classroom, firstly to appease the elders at home, and secondly, to comply with the ancient rules of life.
She didn't want to be a maverick who broke the rules, and of course she didn't want to be completely assimilated by the ancient rules. She usually just brushed aside the things she didn't like or agree with, understanding them but not accepting them.
Mr. Qin's classes usually consisted of reading and literacy in the morning and needlework in the afternoon.
Daohua really has a headache when it comes to needlework.
Before studying, she really didn't think it was a big problem.
As an adult, can't she embroider a few small flowers?
But looking at the dozens or even hundreds of silk threads of different colors in front of her, she really felt dizzy.
The worst thing was that the embroidery needle kept pricking her hand.
It had only been a short time since she started learning, and almost all ten of her fingers had been pricked.
"Girl, why don't we not learn this for now?" Wang Man'er looked at the rice flowers that had been pricked by a needle again with an expression of pity.
Because Daohua's skin is relatively fair, the needle holes are very obvious when she is pricked. Looking at the dense red needle holes on her fingers, Wang Man'er wishes she could embroider them for her.
Unfortunately, her hands are even less flexible than Daohua's.
Because she had been running convoys for many years and had been practicing martial arts with her father, she had become rough and careless. She felt dizzy when she saw this kind of delicate women's work.
Daohua didn't look up and continued to embroider. "No, if I don't finish this purse today, who knows how Master Qin will punish me tomorrow."
Master Qin no longer cared about her, but as long as she made a mistake, she would be punished.
She punished her with reason and evidence, and she couldn't find any excuse to make a fuss, so she could only endure it for the time being.
Wang Man'er looked worried. "Miss, you don't have any needlework skills. Master Qin was only concerned with the other girls. He didn't even stop to explain needlework techniques to you. He just let you embroider randomly. How can you improve your needlework skills?"
Daohua smiled faintly: "All experiences are definitely useful. I will just practice my skills first." Both Old Lady Yan and Madam Li were aware of her situation. She dared to say that if she continued like this, Master Qin would not be able to get away with anything without her doing anything.
Although she could use this as an excuse to make a fuss, it would always give people the impression that she couldn't endure hardship.
The backyard of the county government office is not Yanjia Village. Even though she has the protection of Old Lady Yan and Madam Li, people are gossiping about her. In this ancient time when reputation is more important than anything else, she doesn't want to spread a bad reputation.
Moreover, she was not very good at needlework, but she didn't hate it. It was quite interesting to embroider a purse, handkerchief, etc. in these ancient times when there was no entertainment.
Let’s learn this way first.
Wang Man'er asked tentatively, "Miss, how about we talk to the Madam?"
Daohua shook her head: "My father asked Master Qin to come and teach. My mother can't just let her go without his permission." She has made trouble several times during the time she has been here. It is not good to make trouble too often, otherwise she will really become disliked.
Wang Man'er frowned: "Are we just going to let her bully the girl like this? Or, should I go and beat her up secretly?"
Hearing this, Daohua raised her head in surprise and looked at Wang Maner with a serious expression in shock.
Wang Man'er thought Daohua didn't believe in her ability, so she hurriedly said, "Miss, I'm very capable. I used to fight with the people in the escort agency. If they offended me, I would put them in a sack without anyone noticing. If Master Qin gets hurt, Miss will be able to relax for a few days."
Daohua swallowed hard, "Man'er, we don't need to fight, right? Master Qin may not be a nice guy, but he's not the type to hurt anyone, what do you think?"
Wang Maner disagreed: "The girl is just too kind-hearted."
Daohua smiled awkwardly: "I'm not being kind, I just think it's not a good idea to put someone in a sack. We have to convince them with reason."
What she didn't say was that this was the county government office. Did she really think the yamen runners her father hired were just there to eat and do nothing?
Wang Maner frowned: "Why use your mouth when you can use your hands? Using your mouth is so troublesome."
Daohua smiled and looked Wang Maner up and down.
I didn't expect this girl to have such a hot temper. She would put people in a sack at any time. She likes this kind of personality!
