After breakfast, the younger siblings invariably said goodbye and left, obviously with other arrangements for the future.

The four younger brothers saluted, turned, and strode in unison—in a line, and it seemed that most of the next action might be foot drills.

Mrs. Zhuang smiled at Xia Xiaodong and directly started the conversation of 'stepmother-ex-wife's eldest daughter'.

Like the barracks, the people in this house are very streamlined, and each master has only one maid or servant without exception - Xia Xiaodong later learned that the master should try his best to take care of himself, and only those who can't do it need to be served, I have to say that in this era, this is quite an alternative concept.

The advantage of this arrangement is at least: it is very convenient to talk and do things, and there is no need to say 'you all step down' at every turn. The few 'you' are too busy to sit around your master.

"You're fifteen years old, and you'll be in two months." As soon as Mrs. Zhuang opened her mouth, she solved the age problem that Xia Xiaodong had been having a headache, "It's time to think about marriage." So your father told me two days ago that I had sent someone to pick you up, and I thought it was appropriate. ”

"Supposedly, I should have arranged this. However, since you were a child, your father has greeted me, and he will arrange your affairs. It is also necessary for you to like the marriage again, and your mother has already prepared the dowry. ”

Mrs. Zhuang said generously, as if talking to a young girl about her marriage was a matter of course for someone to do when the time came, and there was no need for any tactfulness, shyness, or awkwardness.

That's good.

"These **** will arrange it and let you go to the boudoir school. Now the teachers invited by the boudoir are very good, you can go to see more people for a long time. Mrs. Zhuang said.

It wasn't until three days later, when he really entered the boudoir school, that Xia Xiaodong understood what Mr. Zhuang meant by 'knowing more people'.

Boudoir is not the Xia family's boudoir. There is only one boudoir school in Suzhou, in fact, the full name is Mingli College, and the name looks like a place where scholars study, and it is said that it was changed by a new teacher, which means that women should understand the meaning of affairs.

Standing at the gate of the academy with Xia Yurong, Xia Xiaodong was a little puzzled.

The gate of the academy is very small, just the appearance of an ordinary house portal, but ...... There are two signs hanging on both sides of this gate, one is 'Mingli Academy' and the other is 'Sanwei Academy'.

"Our Suzhou literary style is invincible, and the two academies were opened after Uncle Zhang took office as the prefect." Xia Yurong saw Xia Xiaodong staring at the sign of the academy, and hurriedly explained: "Because the number of people in the academy is small, this courtyard is divided into two pieces, and the boudoir we are going to is on the left hand side of the door." ”

The number of people is small, so it is divided into two? Xia Xiaodong turned his head to look at Xia Yurong and saw a childish little face with baby fat. Well, only little girls would believe such a reason. Now I can only listen to it and believe it.

Bypassing the shadow wall with the words 'Wen Yi Carrying the Road', sure enough, the inside is distinct, and there is a low wall separated by it. Passing through the Moon Gate, a spacious and exquisite study is where the boudoir is located.

"Hey! New Arrival! Suddenly there was an excited greeting from behind him.

Xia Xiaodong looked back, through the moon gate, he could see the other side of the courtyard, five or six half-grown teenagers were looking over one after another, and he didn't know which one of them said this.

What a bunch of secondary 2 teenagers! I saw that the older ones were seventeen or eighteen years old, and the younger ones were thirteen or fourteen years old.

Xia Xiaodong couldn't help but be handsome, and it was so interesting to find the feeling of going back to junior high school here.

Originally, she didn't laugh and just returned, the young people on the opposite side only felt that their eyes lit up, at this time the beauty smiled, her eyes were bright, and the few people standing in front of her were stunned, and they didn't know how to say anything, and they didn't know how to put their hands and feet, just like a wood carving clay sculpture.

Two more people rushed over from behind, and they couldn't see the front for a while, pushing and squeezing, and in the blink of an eye, they fell into a ball, pressing the first two or three people at the bottom, and the four or five twists and eight crookedness behind were also unsteady. Instead, he let the last teenager out.

The young man was wearing nothing more than the uniform cyan robe of the academy, but it was ironed extremely flat, with a big red hairband tied on his head, and his face was like white jade, and a purple bamboo folding fan was in his hand, and a white jade pendant was hung.

This one can play Jia Baoyu. Xia Xiaodong thought casually, glanced at it, then turned around and continued to walk inside.

The young man who was squeezed and fell to the ground hurriedly got up, felt that he had lost face, grabbed a teenager behind him, and said angrily: "Are you in a hurry to reincarnate, what are you pushing?" "The splitter is going to strike.

The people next to him naturally hurriedly grabbed and persuaded: "Everyone Sven, you have lost your body by moving your hands and feet. Xiao Wu also had no intention, so let him invite a host at noon. "For a while, there was a lot of talk and it was lively.

The teenagers peeked to the other side while talking, but unfortunately the shadow of the beautiful woman was gone, and their interest immediately decreased, and those who wanted to fight stopped fighting, and they didn't bother to persuade them to fight, and they dispersed after a while.

Only the folding fan boy was still standing in place, stunned.

Xia Xiaodong went all the way in, and figured it out all the way. Last night, Mrs. Zhuang asked people to send newly cut clothes, and a few things on the head, and specially instructed to go to the boudoir to dress up well, so as not to lose the dignity of the Xia family. Today, it seems that it is not yet known what this boudoir is learning, but the layout of the men's and girls' academies is clearly the rhythm of right and wrong.

Although there is a small episode at the door, it is almost the same as Xia Xiaodong's imagination. It's just like a regular classroom, with the teacher in front and the students in order.

Judging from the seating situation, there are more than 20 students. The scale of this boudoir is not small.

Ah Shuang lightly helped Xia Xiaodong set up the pen and ink and other things, served Xia Xiaodong to sit down, and then sat down - behind each girl there was a round stool slightly lower than the chair, which was for the maids to sit on.

"Are you the eldest daughter of the Xia Command Family?" There was a somewhat rude question from the right.

Xia Xiaodong turned his head and saw that it was a slightly older girl, always seventeen or eighteen years old, with bright clothes, a three-strand phoenix hairpin on her head swaying and shining, and the phoenix head was holding a ruby the size of a little finger, which was swaying left and right with the master's head.

"Hmm." Xia Xiaodong didn't care about her rudeness, and said with a smile: "My name is Xia Xiaodong." ”

New here, it's better to be accommodating.

"Wait a while, let your maid go to Daoxiangzhai, buy all kinds of dim sum, and invite everyone to eat when you rest." The girl commanded as a matter of course: "Especially the Eight Treasure Cakes, you must buy more of them, which I like the most." ”

Xia Xiaodong put away the corners of his upturned mouth and looked at her quietly.
