    I am a child who loves to listen to ancient times. When I was very young, I would sit in my grandma's arms and listen to her stories that were a bit moldy but nice.  Grandma was born in a scholarly family, and all the family members are scholars. Grandma's mother is a teacher, and so is grandma's grandma.  My grandma is good at writing calligraphy. Every weekend, she will come to my house and write a few big characters for me. My mother will cook a table of sumptuous dishes for my grandma.  My grandma taught me how to write calligraphy by hand. I didn't know what good writing would do, so I changed it to drawing while my grandma wasn't paying attention.  The little turtle has a long neck, a round shell, and the shell is full of cracks, the little rabbit has long ears, short legs, the chick has a pointed mouth, and its claws are tree forks Hey!  In vain, I missed my grandma's good script!

    At that time, the four famous families in the county were the Wang family of Dongguan, the Ma family of Nanguan, the Jiao family of Xiguan and the Li family of Beiguan.  These four big families do not rely on wealth to occupy the family rankings, but rely on the intellectual power of everyone in the family who can read, and all of them are scholars.  The four major families have formed an unbreakable in-law relationship through marriage.  For example, my grandma was born in the Wang family in Dongguan. She married the Jiao family in Xiguan, while my grandma¡¯s younger sister married into the Ma family in Nanguan. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family in Beiguan is my cousin.  Going out, the blood relationship between the four major families has become very close!

    The Xiguan Jiao family is the largest of the four major families. It has a large population and a wealthy family. Some of its ancestors have been selected as Tanhua, and some have been county magistrates. Compared with the other three families, they are the most powerful.  The Wang family of my grandma's natal family is a pure scholar. There are generations of scholars in the family, and everyone is a teacher.  Therefore, my grandma was a well-known lady at the time, literate, open-minded, and her feet were of course liberated. With such big feet, she ran around the county as a teacher, teaching and educating people  , Peach and plum world.

    Grandma told stories very nicely. If I could write brush characters as much as listening to stories, I wouldn¡¯t still be practicing every day with calligraphy stickers, but I would still be uneven and not straight!

    One day, my grandma pointed to the east and said to me, "Do you know the archway outside Dongguan City?" I said, "Of course I know. Sister Mei and I have played under the archway several times. I like riding under it the most."  The stone looked like a horse, I grabbed its ears and sat on its back, it was fun!" Grandma said again: "Then do you know what this archway is for?"  I said cheerfully: "Isn't it just a gate! It's like the gate at my house." Grandma hurriedly asked: "The gate has door panels and can be closed. Why is this gate just a stone door frame?  What about the door, have you thought about it?" I scratched my head, turned my mouth for a while, and asked my grandma in puzzlement: "Yes! Why does it have no door? Did a thief steal its door and sell it on the door?  How about the money to buy popsicles?" Grandma laughed and told me: "Silly boy, there are many things about this memorial archway. Today I will tell you a story, a story about my aunt!" I jumped up,  She clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Great, have I seen this aunt?" Grandma nodded my little nose with her hand, smiled and said to me: "She was born in 1890, and there was an emperor at that time."  , Not only have you never seen it, I have never seen it, I heard it from my mother, you have to listen carefully!" I nodded seriously, and said to my grandma: "Okay, I promise to listen carefully!"  Thus, the story of grandma began

    In 1890, the year of Gengyin (Year of the Tiger) in the lunar calendar, the leap month was the 16th year of Guangxu.  A girl was born on the 15th day of the second lunar month in the Wang family of Dongguan. According to Feng Shui, "the one who is destined is born on the first fifteenth day of the new year, and the one who is not killed runs around casually." The girl is a lucky person, not to mention the year of the tiger and the second  The month is the number of blessings that add to the blessings. In the local dialect, it is: "The time of the girl before is too good, and she is a wife." Therefore, the Wang family gave this girl a nice name called "Xiuzhen".  Xiu_Xiuwaihuizhong, Zhen - as precious as a treasure.

    "Wang Xiuzhen" is my grandma's aunt.  (I will use Xiuzhen to call my old aunt from now on. Although it is a bit disrespectful, I can't keep writing about my old aunt!) Xiuzhen has been loved by her parents and elders since she was born.  She has white and tender skin, double eyelids, and the flickering eyelashes are like two small brushes, which make people feel happy. Xiuzhen's grandma always likes to hold Xiuzhen in her arms, and pull Xiuzhen's eyelashes with her hands to her grandpa.  Said: "My Xiuzhen's eyelashes are really like the pony you are riding, maybe even longer than the pony's. I don't know how much this girl will be loved when she grows up!" Grandpa licked the goat under his mouth  Xu said proudly: "My Xiuzhen needs to be cultivated well. She has to learn all the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and this female celebrity must not be left behind. I must make Xiuzhen the first female scholar in our county." After hearing this, grandma said noncommittal  Said: "To be a female scholar, just be able to read and write. A woman who has no talent is a virtue. If she teaches her virtue well, she will become a female celebrity. In the future, she will find her??Good family, I am satisfied with getting married in a good manner!  "Grandpa shook his head, and said to grandma: "What do you know, is our Xiuzhen an ordinary woman?  I would like to invite Mr. Ding Erkang from Nanma to teach Xiuzhen culture. The ancestors of the Ding family in Nanma were "three champions in one family" in the Jin Dynasty. Ding Erkang and I have a friendship of the same age.  Please teach Xiuzhen!  After hearing this, grandma murmured: "Hey, a girl, the more she can read and understand, the more she will suffer in the future. How good it is to marry An Ansheng!"  "(Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com
