In the New Year of the tenth year of Jing'an Guopingxi, the Lu Mansion had a lively time. For the first time in six years, the whole family reunited for the New Year, and the happiest person in the house was the old lady. The big Fang Zhihua Lu Yan siblings are in the mourning period of their mother, so except for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of the reunion, they basically stay in their own courtyard quietly the rest of the time, and never participate in the drinking and fun of other brothers and sisters. The two of them were not depressed, they just felt clean and comfortable. Lu Zhenyuan is also very low-key, except for the family banquet, he pushed away a colleague to socialize. It is rare to have leisure, he personally teaches and supervises his eldest son's homework, and he seems to be more concerned about the affairs of Kaolangui Academy after the year than Lu Yan himself.

After the Lantern Festival, the imperial court opened, and Langui College also began its annual entrance exam. Lu Zhenyuan wanted to be on an errand, and Zhihua personally sent his younger brother to the examination room. Although she was very confident in her younger brother's qualifications, while sitting in the carriage waiting for her younger brother to come out of the examination room, Zhihua couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

The wait time is always extraordinarily long. An hour later, the younger brother's small figure finally walked out of Langui Academy and appeared in front of Zhihua's eyes. Zhihua saw that he had a tense face, and the words that wanted to ask him about the exam results came to her mouth and swallowed back, "I've been going for so long, are you hungry?" Let's go to Wanjiang Tower for lunch, okay? Lu Yan nodded, waited for a long time but didn't see his sister speak again, he couldn't help but pout: "Sister, why don't you ask me how I did in the exam?" "My sister is unhappy when she sees you, she must have failed the test, right?" Zhihua replied a little cautiously, "It doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam, let's ask my uncle to ask a good gentleman to teach you again, it's the same." Sister was finally fooled, and Lu Yan sneered: "Sister, I passed the exam!" I have read most of the homework that Mr. took exams, and after answering them, several gentlemen present said that they would accept me as a disciple! Speaking of which, the little face was beaming with pride. You little narrow-minded ghost, you dare to play tricks on your sister! Zhihua smiled and stretched out her index finger and nodded her brother's forehead heavily, "What about later?" Which gentleman took you? "Dean Zhang said that in this case, students are allowed to choose by themselves, so let me decide for myself. I didn't know which one to choose, so I decided to go home and ask my father before making a decision. Zhihua nodded again and again: "It should be so!" Go back and let my father make a decision after inquiring. If your father asks you what you mean, choose one that is funny. Reading books is boring, if the teacher's explanation can be vivid and interesting, students will naturally learn with half the effort. "My sister is very reasonable, and Lu Yan has no objections. Several gentlemen who are willing to accept Lu Yan have very good reviews, Lu Zhenyuan himself can't make up his mind, and tells his son about the situation of the gentleman he inquired about, and let him choose for himself, Lu Yan listened to his sister's words and chose the most kind and funny Mr. Zheng.

With the old lady not interfering, the matter of admission is particularly smooth. Lu Yan was accompanied by the two Jiang Quan brothers, and with the salute that had been prepared, he said goodbye to his father and sister and went to Langui Academy alone. Zhihua had a wish in her heart, and before she had time to relax for a few days, she unexpectedly received an order from the old lady when she was asking for peace.

"Tomorrow is the day of school. Zhiyun Zhirou: I have already taken care of Zhiyun's admission. Ah Hua, you are the eldest sister, and you will have to take more care of your younger sisters in the boudoir in the future, you know? "Please be safe on this day, all the sisters came earlier than Zhihua, and they were discussing going to school tomorrow. The old lady didn't mention it, Zhihua forgot about her boudoir studies. It's no wonder that she has a bad memory, as soon as her mother got sick, she stopped school to serve the sick, and this stop was more than half a year. After waking up from rebirth, she was full of plans to protect herself, and she couldn't afford to think that she still had to go to school.

Zhihua looked at the three sisters: "I don't know which disciplines the two sisters chose?" "The boudoir school was established by the state, and it was only for the admission of young ladies from official families above the seventh grade in the capital. The college is divided into six disciplines: musical instruments, chess, calligraphy and painting, dance, female celebrity, and cooking, and students can choose to learn one or more of them. Miss Lu Fu was called by the old lady, and she uniformly reported the first section of the female red, and the rest was chosen by herself.

"We chose an instrument, I plan to learn the piano, and my sister likes the lute." Zhiyun is lively and talkative, Zhirou is quiet and elegant, and the sisters usually answer when they ask questions on weekdays.

"I remember that only the fourth sister in our house seems to have chosen a musical instrument, and she is practicing the flute, so I will ask the fourth sister to take care of you more when the time comes." Zhihua covered her lips and smiled, and easily unloaded half of the messenger handed over by the old lady. She studied calligraphy and painting, and the teaching house was located in the most secluded corner of the boudoir school, far away from the musical instrument building. "By the way, the dance that the second sister learned, the teaching house is not far from you, after class, you can wait for her to go home together." Zhihua knew that the old lady was currently making up her mind to let her youngest son stay in Beijing, and the third-room sisters were also instructed to be close to her, but she was unwilling to make false promises with these people, so she deliberately said so.

Sure enough, Zhiyun's original plan to ask Zhihua to go home after school was blocked, so she had to retreat: "I heard that the eldest sister is very good at needlework, and when she takes the women's red class in the future, she will mention us more." My sister and I have never held a needle and thread, and I don't know if it will dislike my husband when the time comes. ”

Before Zhihua could answer, Zhilan hurriedly replied: "You also said that you have never taken a needle and thread, and there will be a gentleman who is responsible for teaching beginners to teach you at that time." We don't teach you the same gentleman, how can I remind you. The tone was not polite at all. During this time, the second and third rooms secretly fought each other several times, and each had a winner or a loser. Today, I saw that the two sisters Zhiyun and Zhirou took the initiative to get close to Zhihua, but they just wanted to win over the big house to deal with themselves together, of course they couldn't let them get their wish. The words choked the three sisters and made their faces red, and they were very embarrassed.

The old lady couldn't see the two rooms and three rooms fighting each other, Zhilan was so unkind to her sisters, it was a big taboo for her, she angrily slammed the teacup in her hand, "Presumptuous!" Didn't your mother teach you to love your siblings?! Go back and copy the women's training ten times, and you are not allowed to eat until you finish copying! Next time, if you do it again, go to the ancestral hall and kneel for me! ”

Among the juniors in the Lu Mansion, Zhilan and Lu Yu have the most arrogant temper. The two will develop this kind of character, and the old lady and the second lady will contribute a lot. Although her mother had warned her in private not to be rude to Sanfang in front of her grandmother, she relied on herself to please her grandmother the most, so where could she listen to this warning. Now that I have hit a wall, I was punished by my grandmother for the first time when I grew so big, and my resentment towards Sanfang deepened.

Zhilan pouted, and coquettishly looked at the old lady with an aggrieved face: "Grandmother, Lan'er knows that she is wrong, and she will not dare to do it again next time." Copying the women's training is exempt, ten times so many, Lan'er will definitely have a calloon in her hand after copying it! As he spoke, he walked over and pulled up the sleeve of the old lady's coat, and shook it from side to side without a shape. The old lady laughed, her anger suddenly disappeared, and she scolded with a smile: "If you know that you are wrong, you won't go to compensate your sisters, right?" ”

Zhiyun saw that Zhilan was exempted from punishment, she was not angry, and was about to speak, but Zhirou, who knew her temper the most, hurriedly pinched her secretly, and shook her head slightly to signal her not to talk nonsense.
