Chapter 6 Hasty

"Miss, it's already the third watch...you're still sick!"

Tao'er couldn't bear to look at Yun Chuxue, whose hands were red from the cold, but she couldn't help. She couldn't write. She also knew that such an opportunity was too rare for Miss Six, but...

"It's okay, I'm almost done copying it!"

Yun Chuxue really didn't feel tired or wronged at all, not because of the big principles that her aunt wanted her to understand, but because she cherished them!

She never had the conditions to learn calligraphy and study before. After experiencing life and death, she knows better than others what things are useful and what things do not waste time.

"Miss... Although I have never read a book, I have seen other people write... You..."

"Ugly, right?" Yun Chuxue didn't care. The more her aunt punished her and the more she copied, the better she would write. Even though she didn't know what she was writing, she just followed the strokes...

Tao'er packed up the words she had written before and lowered her head in silence. It's not that she's ugly, she's very ugly...

Taoer couldn't bear to hit her.

"Tao'er, are you literate?"

Tao'er hurriedly shook her head, "Young lady is joking, this servant is illiterate."

Yun Chuxue looked at the pen in her hand in trance. After a moment, she raised her head and cheered up to speed up.

Although she still doesn’t know how useful reading is, she knows that it will definitely be of great use, so she wants to study!

Tao'er looked on at the side with a puzzled look on her face. Why was the young lady getting more and more energetic? She seemed quite happy after being punished. Could it be that she was ill?

In the dead of night, Yun Yinling sat in front of the brazier and read a book by candlelight. The other two scriptures for punishment had been sent to her a long time ago, and she also read them. One was written by herself, and the other was written by someone else.

There is another one that has not been delivered yet.

"Miss, it's late at night, please rest and don't wait. I've asked about it. Miss Six has never read a book, let alone how to write. I'm afraid..."

"Did she say it or not?"

Mother Li on the side shook her head, that’s not true!

"Is there still light in her room?"

"yes…"

"Then just wait!"

She has never read or written, but she is willing to be punished. Let's take a look and talk about it. She can't help but be a little curious.

"Miss, you don't seem to be very happy today. You have eaten very little after the meal, but are you hungry? I will get you something to eat."

"No, I'm not hungry. Let's prepare some snacks for that girl. I'm not unhappy at all, but just a little disappointed. My younger brother is in the officialdom. He does have some skills and means, but unfortunately, his vision is too short-sighted.

Some, I once told him about the things in the backyard of the house, but it seems that the talk was in vain and was not listened to. Men always feel that the beauty of this family depends on them and has nothing to do with women. How could they know?

This backyard is related to the future of the entire family. How can the child thrive if it is not effective?"

Yun Yinling said that she had no intention of reading anymore.

"Miss, are you... that's a bit serious. The master still attaches great importance to the young masters' studies. In our house, regardless of the sons who are concubines or legitimate sons, they have been invited to teach by the master since they were young! As for the young ladies, the house also invites them to study.

I have a female gentleman, but there are many girls in the house, so there will always be some unevenness, but the girls all have to get married..."

Mother Li felt that what Yun Yinling said was somewhat serious.

"When they get married, their surname is not Yun? They have no rules and principles outside. Are those girls from big clans willing to marry into the Yun family? Look at them..."

Yun Yingling stopped talking at this point and didn't want to talk anymore, because in her mother's heart and in the hearts of her brothers, her daughter's family couldn't get involved in the Yun family's affairs, and it didn't have much to do with her.

"Forget it, go take a look and let her rest. After all, she is still sick. She is ten years old and has not yet enlightened. It is too late for me to teach her these things! Let her go back!"

Yun Yinling rubbed his eyebrows and decided not to wait. Since he was illiterate and couldn't write, what would be the use of explaining it earlier?

Rules are rules!

"Chu Xue kept aunt waiting for a long time!"

Just as Mother Li was about to go out, Yun Chuxue came over against the wind and snow, holding a large pile of paper in her hand.

His hands and face were all red from the cold, and the little man looked even smaller wrapped in a heavy windbreaker.

Yun Yinling was stunned for a moment and hurriedly let him in, "It's windy outside. Mother Li is going to get a bowl of hot soup. Come here and sit down and take the fire test."

Yun Chuxue walked over with her frozen legs, and carefully handed over the scriptures she had finally copied with both hands.

"Auntie, Chuxue is illiterate and has never... written, so it's a little slower and the writing is ugly... But Chuxue didn't miss a single word and copied it all. It was a little late and delayed my aunt's rest."

"Okay, let me take a look. Let's sit down and warm ourselves up by the fire. I'll drink some hot soup later and see how cold my hands are!"

Looking at the scriptures transcribed in her hands, looking at Yun Chuxue shivering from the cold and her cautious but stubborn eyes, Yun Yingling's heart was touched.

This was the ugliest handwriting she had ever seen. No, some of them couldn't be called words at all, they were crooked, and some had several characters written in them, but as she said, she copied them all without missing a word.

"Miss Sixth, drink some hot soup quickly!"

Seeing Yun Chuxue like this, Mother Li also felt pitiful.

Yun Chuxue didn't answer, but knelt down to Yun Yinling solemnly, "Auntie, can you teach Chuxue how to read and write?"

"You kid... get up quickly and sit down and talk if you have something to do!"

Yun Chuxue didn't insist. Knowing that her aunt wasn't being polite to her, she got up and sat down, looking at the other person with a longing expression. There were really not many people she could ask for in this world.

Yun Yinling looked at the scripture in her hand, then at Yun Chuxue, and after a moment she sighed and put down the scripture in her hand.

"Drink the hot soup first and then talk after you finish it!"

Yun Chuxue took it and drank it, and then waited a little nervously. She was really not sure, but she had nothing to lose and nothing to worry about. If her aunt agreed, she would avoid a lot of detours. If she didn't agree,

She would try to find a way, but it would be more difficult.

"My aunt will ask you first. You did nothing wrong today, but your aunt punished you too. You really are not wronged. Tell the truth!"

Facing the serious Yun Yinling, Yun Chuxue showed a shy smile and shook her head. The firelight reflected on her face, making her smile look particularly conspicuous.

"No grievance, my aunt punished Chuxue because Chuxue clearly saw her aunt and eldest sister at the door but did not alert her second sister! Also, Chuxue was willing to be punished, because Chuxue dreamed of reading and writing, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but Chuxue always wanted to touch it.

Not being able to touch her is a punishment for my sister and the others, but for Chuxue... it's a reward!"

The unexpected answer made Yun Yinling stunned for a moment, this girl...

She is both sensible and extremely distressing. The most rare thing is that when she said this, there were no tears or unwillingness.

Such a pure and kind child...

"Since you know why I punished you, and you knew you shouldn't do it at the time, why didn't you stop your second sister?"

Facing Yun Yinling's slightly scrutinizing gaze, Yun Chuxue could have just fooled her into saying that she didn't react, but she didn't want to do that.

"Because I don't like the second sister, I deliberately didn't remind me. If the person standing behind the second sister is not my aunt and eldest sister, but an outsider, then Chuxue may remind me, but it's not necessarily because of the second sister's temper.

If you open your mouth, she will say even more inappropriate things without hesitation!"
