规矩 (guī ju) — (noun) rule, custom, standard of behavior; (adjective) well-behaved, proper, following the rules

Definição

Covers both 'rule/custom' (a company's 规矩) and 'well-behaved' (a 规矩 child). 风俗 is broader social customs; 规矩 emphasizes the standard of behavior itself. As 'well-behaved', it's more about obeying rules than 乖 (which adds a sense of cleverness).
