With this incident, all the girls restrained their contempt.
Even the arrogant Li Xiangru looked down from the corner of his eye.
Yin Xiaoxiao, who is cheerful and loves to laugh, has a bit of a manly temperament. She had not been close to Xie Mingxi because of her status as a commoner. Now she felt that Xie Mingxi's calm and unhurried demeanor was admirable, so she took the initiative to smile and said: "You are the best in the family."
third?"
Yin Xiaoxiao showed her kindness, and Xie Mingxi did not refuse, and responded with a smile: "Exactly."
"Then I'll call you Xie Third Sister." Yin Xiaoxiao immediately changed her tune.
Xie Mingxi was slightly surprised, but she didn't show it on her face: "In this case, I will take the liberty to call you Sister Yin."
In her previous life, she restrained her glory and made a wedding dress for Xie Yunxi.
She speaks little in front of others and is quiet behind others. Apart from her beauty that is difficult to ignore, there is nothing impressive about her.
These noble ladies from the capital were all admitted to the Lotus Pond Academy and enjoyed great renown. None of them wanted to lower themselves to associate with a concubine who served pen and ink like a maid.
When she started over in this life, she showed her talents and made them look at her in a new light.
However, it is quite surprising that Yin Xiaoxiao takes the initiative to show his kindness.
It can also be seen that among the several girls, Yin Xiaoxiao is the most open-minded and does not attach much importance to the distinction between concubines and concubines. However, she is worth making friends with.
…
Yin Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I really envy you. You all have brothers and sisters, but I am the only daughter in the family. I don't even have anyone to talk to to relieve my boredom."
People at that time valued having children.
Like the Xie family, with only three brothers and one sister, they are already very thin.
The heirs of the Yin family are even thinner. There are no legitimate sons or concubines, only Yin Xiaoxiao, the legitimate daughter.
General Yin respected and loved his wife. He had no concubines or concubines around him, and he never set foot in a brothel or a boat. He was doting on his only daughter.
Xiao Yuhan pursed his lips and smiled: "Who among us doesn't envy you! Your father is completely obedient to you, and your mother also dotes on you to the sky. Even if you want to reach for the stars and the moon, I'm afraid you have to move a ladder.
!”
As soon as this was said, everyone covered their mouths and laughed.
Qin Sihun smiled softly and said: "When it comes to being favored, we are indeed far behind Sister Yin."
As a woman, no matter how favored she is, she is still not as good as her brothers and sisters in the family.
Yin Xiaoxiao is one of a kind, and she is loved by all. How can she not be envied!
Yan Zhenzhen, who was also favored in the house, couldn't see Yin Xiaoxiao being in the limelight, so she smiled sweetly and said: "A few days ago, my eldest brother got a piece of mutton-fat jade and gave it to me. I don't know whether it would be better to carve it into a jade pendant or make it into a hosta.
.Can some sisters give me some advice?"
The attention of the girls was attracted, and you and I came up with ideas one by one.
"Sheep-fat jade is rare, so it is better to make it into a jade pendant." Qin Sihun was gentle by nature and spoke softly and slowly.
Xiao Yuhan held a different opinion: "The hosta is more beautiful."
Sheng Jinyue, who had been depressed for a long time, now opened her mouth and said with a smile: "If the mutton-fat jade is larger, we can simply divide it into two halves and carve a jade pendant and make a jade hosta. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
Yan Zhenzhen clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Sister Sheng's idea is very suitable to my liking."
Xie Yunxi's eyes showed envy: "Listening to Sister Yan's words, this mutton-fat jade must be quite big."
Yan Zhenzhen's face showed satisfaction: "Three inches square."
Suddenly there was a burst of exclamation.
Li Xiangru smiled calmly: "Sister Yan is the youngest girl in the family. Not only is she loved by her parents and elders, she is also cherished by her brothers. It is really enviable."
Yan Gelao only had a baby girl when he was in his forties, so naturally he loved her very much.
Yan Zhenzhen is more than twenty years younger than her brother, and her biological nephew is several years older than her. Her brother loves her more than his own daughter.
Li Xiangru was arrogant, yet tactful. His words made Yan Zhenzhen's face glow.
The noble ladies of the capital, who would become famous in the future and engage in intrigues, turned out to be so superficial and almost cute when they were young.
Xie Mingxi listened with great interest and found it quite interesting.
…
After the half-hearted compliment, the topic quickly turned to the entrance exam for Lotus Pond Academy.
"The entrance exam is in a few days." Xiao Yuhan was a little worried: "I failed the exam two years ago. If I fail again this year, I will have no chance."
Yin Xiaoxiao and Xiao Yuhan were very good friends and immediately smiled and reassured: "You have been very diligent in the past two years and have been practicing calligraphy and painting. You will definitely pass the exam this year."
Sheng Jinyue also sighed: "I am also taking the exam for the second time. If I fail the exam again, my grandfather will have to shamelessly go to the palace to beg the imperial aunt."
Lianchi Academy only accepts ten students every year, and its requirements are very strict.
However, where there are people, there is always a lack of favors. The royal family is no exception. Every year, there are always nobles and nobles who shamelessly come into the palace and beg Queen Yu to open the back door.
However, such places are very few. There are only two per year.
This year, when the sixth princess enters the Lotus Pond Academy, she will occupy one spot, which means there is only one spot left.
Sheng Jinyue mentioned this quota at this time, not to show cowardice, but to show off.
Only the descendants of the Sheng family are qualified to enter the academy without taking an exam. Behind this quota is a symbol of the pride and dignity of the royal family!
Sure enough, Xiao Yuhan suddenly showed envy: "No matter what, you can study at Lianchi Academy this year."
A trace of contentment flashed in Sheng Jinyue's eyes.
Qin Sihun smiled and answered: "We don't have the confidence, so we can only give it a try."
Although Yan Zhenzhen is young, she is very competitive and immediately said: "I just hope to pass the exam this year. I don't have to wait another two years."
Li Xiangru smiled lightly: "Unfortunately, at this time last year, I got sick and missed the entrance exam."
There was strong confidence in his tone.
Li Xiangru does have the capital to be proud and confident!
She was talented at a young age. She was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and was good at poetry, calligraphy and painting. She was also good at playing the piano. No matter how strict the entrance examination of Lianchi Academy was, she could not stop her.
Xie Yunxi refused to let go of the opportunity to be in the limelight, and immediately smiled and said: "This year, we will go to Lianchi Academy together and pass the exam together as classmates. Wouldn't it be wonderful!"
All the girls smiled and said hello.
Suddenly an unharmonious voice sounded: "Second sister is quite confident in herself."
Xie Yunxi didn't have time to think about it and replied casually: "Of course. Third sister..."
As soon as the word "third sister" came out of her mouth, she knew something was wrong and immediately swallowed the rest of her words.
A cold sweat broke out on my back.
The culprit is none other than the third sister mentioned by Xie Yunxi.
Xie Mingxi raised her lips with a smile but not a smile: "Second sister always keeps me in mind, which really touches me."
Xie Yunxi squeezed out a few words dryly: "You and I are sisters. If we go to the exam together, I will take care of you."
Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed slightly and she smiled meaningfully: "In this case, I have to thank my second sister."
