Chapter 7 Boo Xue
"Five Lady, you woke up."
Shaohua opened his eyes and saw a girl with picturesque eyebrows standing in front of her and holding a incense tent for her. Another girl had already held a teacup and a bowl-sized plum Qingge kiln.
Looking at Shaohua's indifferent face, the girl holding the teacup replied with a smile: "I'm afraid the fifth lady was too happy last night and forgot it. We are the maid sent by the second lady to serve the fifth lady, and Chengbalang's Jiayan took a good name. I'm Chu He. She is a young man. The second lady said that when the fifth lady was full moon, a lotus flower bloomed in the house, which was delicate and cute, just like the appearance of the fifth lady.
My heart is that she is worthy of being taught by Cui's mother, and her mouth can also fool people.
Shaohua silently took the tea cup, took a mouthful of strong tea, cleared his breath, and spit in the dwarf cup. Chuhe took the tray and retreated, and the young Han came forward with two wet towels. The two cooperated very tacitly and soon helped Shaohua change his clothes.
"Where's Mother Cui?" Shaohua asked habitually.
Chu He replied, "Last night, Mother Cui was coaxed to drink two cups, and the second lady left her in Xiyuan. If the fifth lady has something to do, we will do the same." Looking at Youhan, the two knelt down in front of Shaohua, "If we don't serve well, just beat and scold the fifth lady."
Shaohua was shocked and quickly woke them up: "Don't do this. I'm just used to Cui's mother by her side and asked more questions. Cui's mother is right. After all, she is the person around my mother and can't serve me for a lifetime. Looking at Chu He and Youhan, Shaohua couldn't help but miss the former big baby, Xiaobao and Baoer, "You also know that I have just returned home, and many rules in this family are not clear. Since you were taught by Cui's mother, it must be excellent. If I make a mistake in the future, you should also add more to me.
The two looked at each other with joy on their faces and said with one voice, "We will definitely serve the fifth lady wholeheartedly."
Cui's mother is right. These five ladies are really good-to-be, worthy of being the little lady raised by the Ling family. They have no airs at all.
Originally, I was going to say good to Ling, but the young man said to Shaohua ambiguously, "Today, the fifth lady doesn't have to go. In the past, if the second master stayed in the second lady's room, the second lady would not leave until the morning. People from Xiyuan also said that it's good to let the fifth lady and the third lady go to school together.
Shaohua didn't think so much. It's great that you don't have to go to Anzi, just go to school.
"Why are you still procrastinating here? If you miss the time, sir will blame you." Wanhua is dressed in a long skirt and wears a pair of hibiscus jade bracelets. His whole body looks charming and cute, and the book behind him is plum cyan, like a lotus leaf holding a water hibiscus.
Wanhua was grateful for Shaohua's speech last night, which made Li Xunzhuo promise to come to Xiyuan for dinner tomorrow, so after dinner this morning, he came to find her to study together.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I came in, I saw Shaohua eating breakfast slowly and said to Chuhe Youhan, "Don't you know that the Fifth Lady is going to school today? Why is it so late? You should know that your husband is the most punctual. If she is a moment late, she will be suspended from school. It doesn't matter if he is suspended from school for a day, but Li Xunzhuo will go to Xiyuan to have dinner with them tonight. In case he asks, Ling's face is somewhat embarrassed.
Chu He and Youhan showed panic on their faces and hesitated. Shaohua made a voice to protect his maid, "Don't be angry, third sister. I'm leaving now." After rinsing my mouth and wiping my hands, I suddenly felt embarrassed, "But I don't have a book."
Wanhua rolled his eyes, took her hand, and half dragged her out. "When you arrange these by yourself, the sun will set. Last night, my mother had been prepared for you. You left in a hurry and forgot to take it. I asked Han Zhang to go there with the book box first. Although he was scricious, Wanhua became a little excited because of what happened last night and talked all the way to Baichuan Pavilion.
came to welcome a strong woman in her forties. Seeing Wanhua and Shaohua, she politely and said good luck. Then without saying a word, he led them through the small door next to him, bypassed the corridor of the flower hall, and went all the way to the innermost yard.
"The seventh lady is already waiting in the room." When the woman left, she whispered to Wan Hua.
Wanhua muttered in his heart, "It's really a show." After saying that, he took Shaohua's hand and introduced it to her: "This is the backyard of Baichuan Pavilion, and ordinary people can't get in. The front yard is the place where Shilang and Hachiro study, and it is said that there are still several people who have learned.
"Why do you say it's a study?" Shaohua was a little puzzled. She had heard of "reading with", "reading with" and "attached learning", but she had never heard of "studying".
"Because the eldest brother and the second brother studied in the Baichuan Pavilion and won the first place in the same year, it is said that the feng shui of the Baichuan Pavilion is good, and they have to come in to study." But how can anyone come in the Li family's private school? You know that my grandfather is a person who doesn't like to show off, let alone so many people coming. So I expanded the Baichuan Pavilion and merged the previous four studyhouses. It turns out that the place where the eldest brother studied has become a library. If you want to enter the library, you must first copy ten books by yourself and pass the examination of your husband, no matter whether you are rich or poor.
"I'm afraid many people have retreated." You have to copy ten books by hand and pass the examination. What's the difference between this and rushing to the exam?
I think that many people come here in the name of feng shui. I'm afraid there are not many people who can really enter the Baichuan Pavilion.
Wanhua nodded and took Shaohua into the study. It was just a square room, and the windows were all opened and looked extremely bright. Han Zhang shook his hand at them in the room, and Wanhua nod and motioned, "Many people gave up after copying two copies. Some of them were either too scribbled or failed the assessment. Nowadays, there are indeed few people in the Baichuan Pavilion, but this is also good. Although there are several walls here, it is also part of the Baichuan Pavilion. If more people come in, we can't come.
Since you are afraid of outsiders coming in, why do you put your boudoir here? How unsafe it is.
Wan Hua probably saw what was on her mind and said, "We went to school with Silang Hachiro before, but we went to school for half a day and went back to the yard in the afternoon. Later, when an outsider came in, Qi Niang and I withdrew and invited another female gentleman to teach, but several female gentlemen stayed for a short time, and the class was also sometimes absent. A few months ago, I heard that a female gentleman was invited to the palace. It is said that she is very knowledgeable and has taught several ladies.
While speaking, Hanzhang has sent Shaohua's book box and put it on the table behind Wanhua.
"Wait!" Wanhua made a sound and startled Shaohua. She was sitting on her waist and was about to sit down. Wanhua pointed to Jinhua sitting next to her and said, "Qi Niang, get up, this is Wu Niang's."
"Why!" Jinhua was annoyed by Li Xunzhuo's leg injury last night. When he saw Wanhua and Shaohua coming in, he pretended to ignore it and even saved his usual salutes. I also saw the new book box of Shaohua's table. The brand-new sandalwood is carved with a picture of sparrow plum branches, and the corners of the book box are also polished and decorated with beads, which is very beautiful. She stared at Shaohua with hatred and said coquettishly, "I have always been sitting here. The fifth sister competed with me as soon as she got home, but she bullied me when I was young?"
"You are unreasonable!" Wanhua was furious with Jinhua's thick-skin, "This man should have been Wu Niang. Only because she didn't return can you sit. When did she become your thing?"
"Why don't those five sisters learn from Kong Rong and give up their seats to me? It happens that I hurt my foot and can't move." Jinhua smiled and said.
Shaohua didn't want to be the same as Jinhua, especially looking at her wrapped feet, although she didn't know that it was specially entangled by Jinhua to win sympathy. But listening to Jinhua's three sentences, she did not forget to drag her into the water and raised her eyebrows and said, "If Qi Niang has read Kong Rong to let the pear, she should know that it was a small concession for the big one." Although she doesn't like reading, it doesn't mean that she hasn't read, and at least she has eaten steamed buns for several years.
"Hmm!" Jinhua blushed with anger, while Wanhua clapped his hands and cheered.
Shaohua shook his head. This sister was obviously here to attract hatred for her. Why did the resentment between the two sisters have to pull her up? But thinking about her identity, it is always right for her to stand firmly beside Wanhua.
"If Qi Niang is inconvenient to act, I can let you for a few days, and you can't be lame for a lifetime." Shaohua smiled faintly, making Jinhua even more angry.
"I'm going back to tell Dad that you bullied me!" Jinhua didn't know that his eyes had turned red, and his little face became ferocious.
"Last night, I heard my father say that Qi Niang was a reassuring and clever child. The next day, Qi Niang said that she would complain to her father. Does Qi Niang want to ruin her image in her father's heart, or does she think her father is lying? To pretend to be innocent, Shaohua's face is much more successful than Jinhua's. Jinhua followed Su's appearance, with narrow eyebrows and long eyes, and his smile was sweet and cute. If he had a straight face, he would inevitably look mean.
But Shaohua followed the Ling family, or more followed Master Ling, with a round face. How can he look so simple and honest? Coupled with her special identity, it may be difficult for Li Xunzhu to believe that Shaohua is bullying Jinhua.
Wanhua almost cheered Shaohua. For so long, every time Jinhua said he was going to complain to Li Xunzhuo, she always endured it with hatred for fear that Li Xunzhuo would be angry and blamed the Ling family. Although Li Simo is Li Xunzhuo's heart, it is not more than a year after year, and he fell down when he was young. Let Li Simo, who is now ten years old, complain again, inevitably fall into a man's belly.
Seeing that Shaohua could call Jinhua so speechless, she was immediately glad that this little lady was her own sister. Otherwise, Jinhua and Shaohua will change their identities, and they will not be Shaohua's rivals.
For a moment, the master was speechless, but the maids seemed to be in a state of preparation.
"You're all here." A warm and gentle voice broke the smoke of this room. Wanhua or Jinhua immediately changed into a thick and gentle smiling face and sweetly said, "Sir, good luck."
Only Shaohua vaguely felt that his voice was familiar and a little uneasy.
"Wuniang, why don't you meet Mr. quickly?" Wanhua whispered.
"This is..." The female gentleman's voice was like gentle jade, soft and slow, and it was comfortable to hear.
"Please forgive me, sir, Yan Sui is late."
