Xiao Tao knocked on the door three times, and when she heard the sound of letting in inside, she walked in with a smile:

"Miss, our housekeeper has sent two telegrams."

Zhang Meixi stood up from the desk converted from the dresser, reached out and took the newspaper in Xiao Tao's hand, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Seeing that the eldest girl did not object, Xiao Tao secretly praised herself in her heart, what a clever and caring girl! Originally, everyone in my hometown called the big girl, but here they all like to call Miss Table, and there is a foreign name, Miss Zhang.

Xiao Tao decisively changed her name and called the eldest lady and followed the customs.

Zhang Meixi really doesn't mind this, she just knows that she just needs to call herself, but in fact, it doesn't matter what she is called, calling the eldest girl is a native girl in the countryside of Shandong, and calling the eldest lady is the tall and tall of the Shanghai Ocean faction? A hundred years later, calling the young lady will be looked down upon, and calling the eldest sister will hurt the tender glass hearts of others, pulling it back and forth, and changing it back to calling the girl.

There are two telegrams, one is sent by the Zhang family, the daughter goes out to study, although it is the uncle's house, Mrs. Zhang is still extremely uneasy, it has been ten days since she arrived in Shanghai, and she has to send a telegram every day if she has nothing to do. It's almost the same as when Zhang Meixi went out to college and her mother called, once a day.

Fortunately, the telephone communication technology of this period was not enough, and the distance was far away and needed to be transferred many times. It's too troublesome, so I didn't make a phone porridge.

The second telegram was a bit interesting, in English, from a British law firm, which had received a letter from Zhang Meixi and stated that he had been appointed to contact a Mr. Pauli, who was in Shanghai at the time. The telegram was a bit long, and it even concluded at the end, Dear Mr. Shandong, we promise that you will gain fame and fortune.

The corners of Zhang Meixi's mouth curled up, there is a bit of a misunderstanding here, she still didn't write her real name, and now she simply calls herself Mr. Shandong!

At this time, there were three more gentle knocks on the door, Xiao Tao walked over to open the door, and Apricot put her head in naughtly:

"Big girl, your governess has arrived."

After a pause, Apricot added:

"It's the red-haired woman."

Zhang Meixi answered, put the telegram in a book, sorted out her clothes and went out.

She came here in the name of studying in Shanghai, and only when she arrived did she know that this Shanghai was really a holy place for enlightened education and students in the Republic of China.

The curriculum is even better than it was a hundred years later.

There are more than a dozen homework courses in ordinary middle school:

Chinese. Foreign Chinese, Philosophy of Life, Social Issues, Cultural History, and Introduction to Science are public courses. In addition, there are specialized courses in the liberal arts and sciences.

It's like graduating from high school a hundred years later.

Most of the young ladies of the Huang family studied in Pidgin Girls' Middle School, which was very easy to enter, and you could pay the money.

But because of her mental age, Zhang Meixi really didn't want to be inseparable from the young ladies of the Huang family.

So under the pretext of going to a notoriously difficult school called Huiwen Girls' High School, I have hired three tutors to tutor at home.

Zhang Meixi walked to the second floor, and in the study specially cleaned up for her by the fourth uncle's family, she said hello casually:

"Good morning, Lily."

Her Chinese teacher, Lily Smith, was only eighteen years old, tall, with freckles on both sides of her cheeks and red hair, who had come to Shanghai with her parents to do business.

Now in Shanghai, foreigners who are willing to come out to teach English are very sought-after, and Lily has been introduced to earn some extra money, and only rural rich people like Zhang Meixi will come out with high hourly wages.

The foreign language class between the two was led by Zhang Meixi, and her English listening, speaking, reading and writing were completely passed, but in a hundred years, there are still some changes in this language, and what Zhang Meixi has to do is to master the changes of this era again.

Zhang Meixi is now copying famous pharmaceutical papers in history, so she shuffles the sentences she needs and asks for advice one by one.

Miss Lily is very kind and serious in teaching.

Of course, Zhang Meixi is more kind, she has been silently patient, and has not exposed it, this British girl is not authentic, her pronunciation is a pronunciation that was used as a joke in Britain in later generations, Essex accent.

Seeing off the red-haired Miss Lily was lunch time at Fourth Uncle Huang's house.

The fourth and fifth ladies of Huang's fourth uncle's family will come back for lunch, and the sixth miss of Huang's fifth uncle's family will also come to have a meal, and the Chinese food will be very rich, and I don't know if it's because of the reason for entertaining her as a guest.

There was a duck at noon, and Aunt Huang Si would personally take the duck's head, dig out the duck brain, and give it to Zhang Meixi to eat.

Miss Huang Si was afraid that this country cousin would not understand her mother's intentions, so she would explain:

"Duck brains are the top good thing, my mother is really an eccentric sister, I'm jealous."

Miss Huang Wu is also very knowledgeable, and then explained:

"Shi Xiangyun in the Dream of Red Mansions loves to eat this the most."

Zhang Meixi naturally knows, Mrs. Zhang also once dug up duck brains for her to eat, there is a female writer in the Republic of China who also loves to eat, counting, that writer is only three years old now, is a cute little Lori, it would be good to have a chance to meet.

Of course, Zhang Meixi didn't say much, she stood up, curtsied, and thanked Aunt Huang Si with a smile. After thanking him, he pushed the duck brain to the sisters to eat.

Then, Miss Huang Liu actually took it, and then, Miss Huang Liu ate the duck brain.

It's actually a very small point. Something big with peanuts.

However, Zhang Meixi made up for it in her brain, and at this time, the three of Huang Si's aunt and mother and daughter should have drawn three black lines on their brains like in the comics.

Aunt Huang Si's rank is still enough, and she smiled very kindly:

"Xiaolu now loves to come to Aunt Four's place for dinner more and more, come, eat another duck leg." Reached out and grabbed a fat duck leg.

Miss Huang Liu hummed and lowered her head to eat.

In fact, she was also very aggrieved in her heart, she came to dinner, it was a task sent by her mother Huang Wu's aunt, according to Huang Wu's aunt's meaning:

"What's wrong with going to eat your family's meal! My niece has paid so much for you to pay for your living expenses, so how much can we eat! ”

Different angles of looking at the problem have their own reasons.

After lunch, Zhang Meixi rested for a while, and the tutor class in the afternoon was a gentleman who taught liberal arts, this gentleman was in his forties, wearing a two-blue cloth gown, very gentle.

Zhang Meixi was a little embarrassed to take out her calligraphy works, but this gentleman was very open-minded:

"It doesn't matter, in the future, it will be the world of fountain pen words, brush words are feudal remnants, to be eliminated, now some gentlemen in the academic world, have advocated the alphabetization of Chinese characters, I think it makes sense."

Zhang Meixi raised his forehead, this teacher of the Republic of China, the theory is more advanced than a hundred years later, it is really interesting, I was about to ask for advice in detail, but I heard the chaos downstairs.

"The young lady of Mrs. Liugu's family is here. Please come out and let us see! ”

"Mrs. Liugu was a beauty back then, and she has been married to Shandong for more than ten years, please invite Miss Biao out, don't hide it."

…… Dividing line ......
