Chapter 4 Making New Friends
The resting place looks like a modern dormitory, but there are no common bunk beds. Although the furnishings in the house are extremely simple compared to the exquisite mansion where they are located. But compared to the previous home, it can be said that it is heaven and earth.
There were eight girls left behind with her, but now they were assigned to four rooms. The same room with Zhiran was the lively girl who had accosted her before, named Zi Jin. In addition, there are two others who passed the competition a few days ago.
In addition to having a small bed of their own, each of them has a small dresser and a small box. Knowing that he placed the small package he carried with him into the box, he stroked the silky quilt on the small bed, knowing that the texture was good, and he was full of curiosity about this place.
Listening to what her mother said, she originally hoped that she would come here to have a bright future. But I know in my heart that this ancient woman, the so-called future of the so-called has to marry into a rich and noble family, I am afraid there is nothing else to think about.
However, seeing that the examiners here are elegant and polite, and the stewards are also very well-behaved, they must be a little better than what Aunt Wang said about the Wang's mansion like a tiger's den and a wolf's den, so he planned to let go of all the doubts in his heart and observe for a while. After all, now that he is only eight years old, it is still too early to talk about the future.
In the middle of her fugue, Zi Jin had already started talking to the other two little girls.
Ran didn't make herself look out of place, although she was an indifferent person, but she never deliberately made enemies for herself. She knows very well that if she is good at taking advantage of the advantages of the people around her, she will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
The four of them introduced each other, and the eldest was named Yahan, who had just turned ten years old. Looking at her demeanor, I guessed that she should have been born into a rich family, but I don't know why she left home at a young age.
Zi Jin is the second in line, nine years old, and claims that her father was originally a private school teacher, although she is only a little literate in writing. But in the previous competition, I saw her writing like this, and knew that she should have some skills.
In addition, one is named Linglong, although she is eight years old, but she is two months older than Ran, she was born in a poor family like a teacher, but she is bold in speech, has a good personality, and has her own bearing at a young age.
Because of his age, he was called "sister" by the other three, but thinking about the more than 20 years spent in his previous life, he was really embarrassed.
"Sister will come here for two days, I must already know the rules here, please mention me and Sister Ran more." Zijin can't wait to learn about the new environment. Obviously, as she felt when she first stepped into this Yiluo Fang, she loved this beautiful place very much.
"Sister Yahan and I have only been here for a few days, and our daily life is relatively simple." Linglong was quick to speak, but took over the topic first, "After getting up and washing up in the morning, there will be a grandmother to teach the etiquette rules for half an hour, and then you can go to breakfast." During the day, there will be several other grandmothers who teach female red, calligraphy and painting, music and rhythm in turn. Most of the afternoon is free, and it is said that when you sisters come in, we will arrange a master for each of us to study. ”
"Amitabha, this is much easier than when I am at home." Zi Jin pretended to worship the Buddha, which made everyone laugh at once, and she smiled slightly.
Yahan shook Juanpa at Linglong and quipped: "Don't mention it, someone has already been suffocated, and he has been thinking about homesickness all day long!" ”
"No, I've been looking forward to you coming these days, otherwise I'll be suffocated to death if I'm idle like this every day. Although the garden is beautiful, we are not allowed to move around at will, and we are only trapped in this compound every day, which suffocates me. Linglong complained, "I'm really homesick, I still have younger brothers and sisters to play at home, but it's a pity, I don't know if there is a chance to go back." ”
"Sisters, can't you go home to visit your relatives when you get here?" Knowing that the competition was over, there was no need to hide it at the moment, so he asked the question that had been circling in his heart.
"Going home to visit family? Sister, don't you know what this place is? Yahan asked sympathetically.
"My family was deceived by wicked people, and my mother had no choice but to send me here, but she didn't tell me where this was." Tell the truth.
"Alas, if you want to say that you have come here, it is not some hard-working sisters." Yahan sighed, and then explained the background of the place.
It turns out that this mansion called Yiluo Fang was specially set up by the local government to cultivate women with a gentle temperament, a certain amount of knowledge and skills. It is said that at the beginning of the construction of the house, in fact, in order to persuade the dignitaries and nobles to go to the place of fireworks, the imperial court deliberately selected some qualified girls from the white family, and specially raised a group of women with pleasant appearance and talent for these high-ranking and wealthy masters, and the world called them "Fang Girls". Like Yiluofang, there are several other places in the country.
Originally, these women were just for the entertainment of dignitaries and nobles, but in recent years, more and more talented and peerless women have been sought after by nobles, so the status of women has been gradually improved. Many of the ladies have successfully married into rich and noble families and become wives and concubines. It is said that there are even a few maidens who can be called stunners in the world, and they are lucky enough to enter the palace and become the emperor's favorite concubine, which can be described as a glorious ancestor. However, the imperial court also stipulates that considering the origin of the fangnu, in order to establish the prestige of the country, the fangnu is not allowed to enter the phoenix position.
"It's just that we can't contact our own family until we have some creation. If the masters think that our qualifications have been exhausted, or in the end, we will not be able to catch up with the good fortune and marry into a wealthy family, and we will be slaves and maids in the future, we will have to obey the arrangements of the teaching workshop for the rest of our lives, and we will also not be allowed to meet our relatives, which is equivalent to breaking off the relationship with our own family. Yahan narrated the fate of the girls, and unconsciously, several little girls felt a little sad for a while.
Clearly, this is clear, although this girl is a little better than the Qinglou woman she imagined before, but thinking about it, the only future is to marry into a wealthy family, and there is a bit of contempt in her heart. But she also knows that she can't help herself now, and that it is a matter of the future after all, and it is not known that she can calmly learn one more skill here now, and in a few years, she may be able to find some variables for herself.
At this moment, she is not only concerned about her own future, she suddenly thinks of the "mother" at home, the woman who is now alone, how to endure the endless loneliness in the future? And if she leaves, will the wolf-like Wang family mansion be unfavorable to her?
I don't know when I had this concern that I had never had in my previous life, but I think about it, maybe it's connected by blood after all, and now this body is given by the mother after all, presumably this family affection, but it's not something that I want to throw away.
"Hey, let's not think about that sad thing first, I see that our sisters may not be the stupid people, and there may be some creation in the future." is still the most open-minded, and took the lead in throwing away the haze in his heart.
"I don't covet the rich and noble, but I hope that I will have a confidant in the future." Yahan sighed.
"My sister is really not ashamed, and this will talk about Ruyi Langjun." Zijin scratched Yahan's nose and quipped. Yahan didn't follow it, and he insisted on scraping it back. Instantly, the girls burst into laughter again.
sighed in his heart, in the end, he was a teenager who didn't know what it was like. Moreover, the girls who have been doing it for a few days have begun to have some childlike mentality, and it seems that it is not difficult to pretend to make a mess with them.
In the next few days, as Linglong said, more than a dozen girls in the compound will follow a few grandmothers to study every day, a bit like the public class that Ran experienced in his previous life. However, the progress of teaching also varies from person to person, and among several people, Linglong's foundation in calligraphy and painting is relatively weak, so they are still in the second-level queue to learn.
And the days of Ran are not comfortable, even the lively and active girls like Linglong and Zi Jin are decent when they learn etiquette, and they are like a breeze blowing willows when they start.
It's just that the bones of the body are very stiff, after all, the environment in the previous life is very different, and the gestures are used to their own style. She was the most disgusted with pretentiousness, but now she has to let her learn the ancient lady's posture, not to mention that her little body is twisted and twisted like this, and it is really difficult for her to learn martial arts back and forth.
Whenever it was her turn to practice, there was always a lot of pointing and laughing around. Xiao Ran didn't care much about the attitude of the people around him, but seeing that there were fewer and fewer sisters studying with him, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart. After all, there is never a word for failure in her dictionary.
Knowing the stupidity of learning etiquette made the sisters in the same room very curious. "Originally, when I saw my sister's female popularity, calligraphy and painting, she learned to look decent, and she looked like this, so I thought that my sister was a naturally elegant person. Which Cheng thought, my sister walked the aisle, and her demeanor was not as good as that of the mountain villager. "Linglong's mouth has always been unforgiving, so she naturally refuses to let go of the opportunity to laugh at her. Fortunately, I also understand Linglong's personality, not to mention that my talent in learning etiquette is really inferior, so naturally I can't wonder the sisters joke.
Jokes aside, the sisters in the same room have not forgotten to support each other. After a few days, although the other few people still felt that it was still difficult to get into the eyes of the law, they gradually felt that they had gradually figured out the trick, and they regained some confidence, and they were faintly happy in their hearts.
After nearly a month of learning, the four of them gradually became familiar with the sisters in the other rooms. Especially Zijin and Linglong, because of their lively and active temperament, they have already made a few more intimate handkerchiefs. And it is clear that the house where they are is also the most popular in the compound, after all, the girls are also restrained from leaving the hospital after class, so they are naturally quickly accustomed to visiting the door to relieve boredom.
The more sisters I get to know, the more I secretly feel that my opponents are increasing. She never forgot to remind herself that although they are sisters now, if he wants to compete for a good future in the future, the biggest obstacle may be these sisters in front of him.
Nowadays, there are quite a few talented and knowledgeable girls in the compound, who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female red music. Although she has won some recognition for her skills in some aspects, she knows that she has the wisdom of a twenty-year-old after all, and now when she sees these girls who are only a few years old, she has to admire the mind of this ancient.
"Sisters, it is said that tomorrow the masters of Yiluo Fang will come to select students from our school." The gossip that Linglong brought into the house suddenly made waves in the hearts of several girls.
Can you be chosen? I don't know how the future master will be, and whether his temperament will be easy to get along with? There were such questions swirling in the hearts of several people, and a little worry was mixed with a vision for the future, which made the dreams of several girls this night particularly unclean.
However, knowing that she has experienced a lifetime in the end, she has long been accustomed to not being surprised by changes, so she has a good night's sleep.
