Jiang Wu looked at her, actually feeling a little complicated inside.
How does Aunt Chen treat her? In fact, it can only be said to be average, but Jiang Wu now has a sixteen-year-old body and a twenty-something soul. She was not an orphan before, nor did she not enjoy the care of her parents and elders. No matter Jiang Wu
Qingshan and Aunt Chen are both mostly hypocritical.
It turned out that Aunt Chen had laid so much groundwork and even lowered her posture in such a humble manner in front of a junior like her, just to give Jiang Xuelan a chance to enter school.
It is probably not an exaggeration to say that the Yu Family Academy is the most desirable academy for scholars in Daye. However, such a place is not exclusively for nobles. The Yu Family Academy treats poor but ambitious scholars very favorably.
, you can enter the school almost free of charge.
But one thing is that the gentlemen of the Yu Family Academy are all outstanding, and the instruction in the imperial examination can benefit the students for almost a lifetime. In contrast, although the girl's family cannot participate in the imperial examination, they still have to learn to read and write, and do some things to cultivate their sentiments.
thing.
Therefore, passed down for hundreds of years, the Yu Family Academy has become the most famous academy in the entire Daye. Basically, people who come from the Yu Family Academy are the envy of the whole capital in every aspect.
Aunt Chen's words were humble, but Jiang Wu had no intention of recognizing this, because Yu Hanwen had just said that everyone would enroll in school together, including Jiang Xuelan. Whether Jiang Xuelan would enroll in school actually had nothing to do with her.
So she told the truth directly: "Auntie came a little late. I'm afraid she doesn't know yet. Even before you came in, Master Yu had already agreed that Xuelan would be included in the admission list."
Aunt Chen paused, with a bit of embarrassment on her face. After a while, she said again: "So that's it... Then we have to thank you, Miss. We have benefited from you now."
To be honest, Jiang Wu felt a little sympathy for Aunt Chen. In this era, she was a concubine. Although she married into the Hou family, the master was a very cold person. Most of the time, he seemed to have no emotions.
He seems to have no human emotions, so even if Aunt Chen is the only one in the house now, she is still not the mistress.
And for the sake of her only daughter Jiang Xuelan, she was able to bow down to her legitimate daughter, whom she even looked down upon at first.
Jiang Wu said calmly: "It's no longer a matter of who takes advantage of whom. Now that we are all a family, we have to continue to live this life, right?"
Aunt Chen said sarcastically: "Yes, yes."
…
Now that winter has passed and the New Year is coming, although the weather is still as cold as ever, snowflakes sometimes fall from the roof. Jiang Wu stood in front of the yard, and the snowflakes fell to the ground and melted quickly.
But what she was thinking was - what evil had I done to have to wait here for Jiang Lu and Jiang Xuelan so early in the morning?
Today is the day when they set off to Yujia Academy. Yujia Academy is in Yinshan Mountain, which is some distance away from here. Earlier, they said they would take a carriage to the mountain early in the morning. Unfortunately, only Jiang Wu actually did it "early in the morning".
She has been waiting in the cold wind for a long time, Jiang Xuelan and Jiang Lu haven't come out yet.
Bai Guo on the side couldn't help complaining: "Miss, the second and third ladies are too slow. If we had known that we would go out later, why would we have to freeze in the cold wind."
Mo Hua nodded: "Although this girl likes to dress up, she is not like this."
While they were talking, the two people finally came over.
I saw two girls walking towards each other in the cold wind, wearing one blue and one pink clothes. The one wearing pink was Jiang Lu. She was dressed up very carefully today. She was wearing a pink jacket with hibiscus pattern short skirt.
, wearing a light white floral skirt, this outfit is indeed chic and elegant, but it is also really cold.
Jiang Xuelan over there was a bit more down-to-earth than her. She wore a long coat and a long velvet coat, and only wore a few more hairpins on her head.
At a glance, the most inconspicuous person is Jiang Wu - because she is wearing a black cloak, covering everything underneath. The material of this cloak is not common in girls' clothes.
It looks a lot like wolf skin, but it's not rough at all to the touch.
This cloak was actually a gift from Fu Heng. Fu Heng already had four or five cloaks here, but they were all a bit too big. Jiang Wu thought that given Fu Heng's personality, she had worn all these cloaks, and Fu Heng would definitely not
She wanted to ask for them again, but these cloaks were big and long, and sometimes her tail would drag on the ground if she had to wear them herself.
Jiang Wu, a young genius, figured it out and wrote a letter to Fu Heng, asking politely if he could return the cloak to him first and ask him to make it smaller before sending it back to her.
This time neither Ging Guo nor Mo Hua agreed with her actions, saying that she was an unmarried woman, and it was really a bit arrogant for her to exchange clothes with her husband like this.
But Jiang Wu disagreed with this statement, because how could this be a gift of clothes to each other? This was completely a gift from Fu Heng.
As soon as Jiang Xuelan came over, her eyes were attracted by Jiang Wu's cloak. She said with some envy: "Sister, where did you buy this cloak? The material is so special, or was it a gift from my father?"
Of course, Jiang Wu couldn't say it was a gift from Fu Heng. She just said: "It's worthless. I bought it before. It doesn't look good. It's just to keep warm."
Sure enough, when Jiang Xuelan heard this, most of the interest in her eyes lost. However, although this cloak looked unremarkable at first glance, the material must be good. How could it be something she bought before? She used to eat even if she was poor.
Sorry, where did you get such a good cloak?
But even though she thought so in her heart, Jiang Xuelan was not stupid enough to say it directly. She learned a lesson about Zhu Chai last time. Although Jiang Xuelan said she was the daughter of the Hou family, in fact, most of the time
Growing up in Zhuangzi, I had never seen much of the world. When I saw good things, I became curious and wanted them.
To say that she has evil intentions is not enough, but her thoughts are too simple.
It was precisely because Jiang Wu knew this about her that he stopped talking. If she had told the origin of the cloak clearly, Jiang Xuelan would have had to guess for a while.
Jiang Lu also had a look on her face, and she smiled and said: "Xuelan really has the character of a child. She believes whatever the elder sister says. Look at the material. I'm afraid it's a better fur than this if it's not a wolf skin. It's accurate."
Which young master gave it to my eldest sister? Our eldest sister is first-rate in appearance and talent, how could we accept such a gift?"
This is quite profound.
The three of them were about to get on the carriage. After hearing this, Jiang Xuelan's eyes fell on the cloak again. She opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Jiang Wu had already said: "I like to hear this, I just look good."
You are so talented, and all the men in the capital came to me to deliver things to me, so can we set off? Otherwise, I think you will freeze to death first."
