Wen Jiaojiao stayed in her yard every day. In addition to reading books, building blocks and playing with various strange toys, she also listened to Xiang Jin and Zi Ju telling her all kinds of gossip.
These two girls like to listen to and collect gossip the most, and what they say is lifelike.
The two of them always had a way of collecting different gossips from everywhere. When they discovered that Wen Jiaojiao also liked to listen to gossips, they talked even more enthusiastically.
For example, if a girl from a certain family in the capital likes a young man from a certain aristocratic family, but that young man marries someone else, the girl will live and die all day long.
Which aristocratic family head has married several concubines? Even if a concubine from a certain official family went out to steal someone and was caught, Wen Jiaojiao heard it with interest. It was not much more interesting than a storybook.
In their own Wen Mansion, these two girls knew everything. They even knew which of the maids and servants in the aunt's courtyard went out to do shopping and took money and water from the hands of the young aunt.
So even though she avoided Wen Miaoran every day, she was still very clear about what Wen Miaoran did every day.
When Cui Ju said that Shen Zhishu had given Wen Miao calligraphy and paintings, and the two of them were very close, Wen Jiao Jiao thought that if it were Wen Ru Yue, he would rush right into her face and start to punish her.
As for why Shen Zhishu and Wen Miaoran are so familiar with each other and get closer and closer, it is because they study in the same academy.
Yes, in Beiyuan, women and men can study in the same academy, regardless of gender.
It's just that women don't have to take the exams to gain fame like men. After they reach a certain age, they need to prepare for marriage, so they don't have to continue studying. Men have to continue their studies.
If a woman still wants to continue learning, she can also be an auditor.
However, women are almost ready to get married when they reach fifteen or sixteen, and later, when they are eighteen or nineteen, most of them will no longer continue to study.
Before Wen Ruyue fell into the water this time, she was still studying in the academy with her. Xiao Yurong originally said that she would set up a private school for her at home. Since Shen Zhishu was studying in the academy, she had to follow him.
In the past two months, Wen Jiaojiao has not been to the academy due to health reasons. However, during this time, her health has improved, and her father once again mentioned that she should go to the academy.
This father usually doesn't care much about his youngest daughter, but when it comes to studying, he treats his children equally. After all, he is a civil servant. He studied hard all the way to get fame since he was a child, and he was selected among a bunch of literary talents. Naturally, he also wanted to You want your children to have some ink in their bellies.
In particular, Wen Jiaojiao was the worst at studying among the children. Sometimes she would be scolded at the dinner table, which basically meant that her studies were not as good as those of her elder sisters. This made Xiao Yurong's mother even more embarrassed. The conflict between women intensified.
Wen Jiaojiao felt that his father had some stereotypes about military generals. He felt that most military generals were rude, so he automatically classified Xiao Yurong and Wen Ruyue in the column after military generals.
Wen Jiaojiao thought to herself that it would be strange for her family to have peace with her cheap father's thoughts.
What's more, if it weren't for the support of the Xiao family, the Wen family wouldn't be where it is now. Her father would have been forced to eat soft rice.
Because of her studying, Xiao Yurong had another quarrel with her father, and finally decided to let her go to the academy to continue studying after the palace banquet.
Wen Jiaojiao had been studying for more than ten years in his previous life. When he heard that he was going to an academy to study, he felt his eyes darken.
Forget it, she couldn't recite it for two years anyway, so she just endured it and passed it.
This time I went to Yunlu Mountain for an autumn outing. I planned to stay in a mountain villa near Yunqing Temple for a few days. I had to bring a lot of things. Just her things had to be brought in several large boxes. Xiao Yurong was afraid that her servants would not be able to take care of her. If she left something behind, I would personally come and prepare it for her.
Because she has cold syndrome, she can hardly go out when the weather is cold. Xiao Yurong will take her to play outside for more time when the weather is good.
Fortunately, she was going on an autumn trip, so she could justifiably refuse Shen Zhishu's invitation tomorrow.
She didn't quite understand. She had already said that, but Shen Zhishu still thought they were the same as before. Isn't this a bit deceiving himself?
What's more, he is getting along quite happily with Wen Miaoran now, and she basically won't hang out in front of the two of them. Why, the two of them have no fun without her, and they have to have her step in to make it interesting, right?
The next day, the sky was clear and clear, and the entire Wen family went to Yunlu Mountain in a large number of carriages. There were four or five carriages alone.
Wen Jiaojiao occupied the most luxurious and comfortable carriage, which was covered with thick and warm blankets. There was also a small tea table with tea and other snacks on it.
She was riding in the same carriage as Mother Xiao and Aunt Meng. She originally wanted to ask her eldest sister Wen Wanzheng to come this time. She was diagnosed with a happy pulse the day before and the fetal image was not stable, so it was difficult to travel back and forth. .
However, because of the wedding, she and her eldest brother-in-law were delayed in relocating the yard, so they had no choice but to stay in the original Fang Mansion.
When Wen Jiaojiao thought about the troubled family in Fang Mansion, she felt worried for her eldest sister Wen Wanzheng. Fortunately, her eldest brother-in-law was devoted to her, and her eldest sister was thoughtful and could deal with that tricky mother-in-law.
The road to Yunlu Mountain was relatively smooth. Xiao Yurong was afraid that Wen Jiaojiao would get bored on the road, so he brought her many gadgets to relieve her boredom. As a result, Wen Jiaojiao started to fall asleep as soon as she got in the car because she suffered from carriage sickness.
But the motion sickness was so uncomfortable that she had trouble sleeping.
Xiao Yurong felt extremely distressed when she saw Wen Jiaojiao lying on her lap, frowning and closing her eyes tightly.
"Jiao Jiao, are you feeling uncomfortable again? Quickly bring me the orange peel box I prepared for Jiao Jiao."
Yuzhu handed over the box, and Fengxin lifted the car curtains to let some air out.
As soon as Xiao Yurong opened the palm-sized wooden box, Wen Jiaojiao smelled the fragrance of orange peel, as well as other refreshing dried flowers and other ingredients.
Smelling the smell of orange peels, Wen Jiaojiao felt a little better, but he still felt a little dizzy and had a tight chest. Hearing the sound of the wheels on the bluestone pavement, Wen Jiaojiao fell asleep in a daze.
When she woke up, the carriage had arrived at its destination and stopped, and she saw the plaque of "Bie Yun Villa" through the window.
Bieyun Villa is the private property of the Xiao family. Later, it was added as a dowry to Xiao Yurong. Because of Wen Ruyue's health, she could not go too far. Every year during the most comfortable time in spring and autumn, Xiao Yurong would bring Wen Jiaojiao to Bieyun Villa. Stay at the villa.
Xiao Yurong has been talking to her these days, saying that when she gets married, Bieyun Villa will serve as her dowry.
This sentiment is so good that this villa has been passed down from generation to generation.
Wen Jiaojiao yawned and asked Xiao Yurong: "Mom, why don't you go to the Taoist temple first?"
Xiao Yurong stroked her long hair that was a little messy as she slept, "Don't go in a hurry, settle down first. You've been dizzy all the way. Go in and have a good sleep. We'll go to the Taoist temple tomorrow."
