Chapter 24: Departure
Seeing that the departure was imminent, the county guard was busy up and down. In the peach blossom dock, Cui's mother hurriedly asked someone to sew the usual middle clothes and soft shoes for the seventh girl, and took the needle and thread herself, and made seven or eight square brocade pads. Seeing that it was enough, I stopped with peace of mind.
"Miss, this time the slave maid can't serve in front of you, so the two girls of Chunying and Lufu will accompany you. You must not indulge the two of them with a good temper, and if they do something wrong, you have to be ruthless and teach them the rules. I heard my wife say, the academy is full of young ladies from the family, and your reputation must not be ruined by ignorant maids. ”
Compared with the official school for men, the rules of the women's school are more relaxed, but there are also servants to follow, and each girl can only bring a maximum of two maids, and the age must not exceed sixteen.
In addition, the school hall has a uniform style of skirts, in addition to the belongings, the girls can not dress up with their temperament, let alone have the idea of comparison. The female officials of literature and history who came out of the palace were extremely strict, and the first priority was women's morality.
Regardless of the news revealed by the adults in private, the two girls in the county guard mansion have taken many detours, and they know a little bit about the Lushan Girls' School. But it is better to prepare than others who know nothing.
This is Guan Xu's acquiescence from his own son, catering to that person's mind, and helping the Jiang family to cheat secretly.
The rules of the women's school hall are still like this, and the style of official learning in Lushan will only be more strict, so the wife personally manages the two masters of the house to be soft, and in the eyes of the county guard, I only feel that the Xu family is very virtuous and more affectionate.
With so many rules, Cui's mother thought that the girl who had never left her side had to be taken care of by two little girls, and she couldn't be down-to-earth no matter how she thought about it.
"Mother Cui forgot, isn't there still a fifth sister in the same class? I don't say it, the girl made a mistake, and the fifth sister should always be punished. ”
At this time, Jiang Rou is the best reassurance. No one in the house knows that the fifth girl has an idea, has big rules, and never disciplines her subordinates. And this girl cherishes her face, has arrogance in her heart, and can't allow others to look down on her.
When she goes out, even if Jiang Ying makes a mistake or asks someone to bully, Jiang Rou will not ignore it. They are all the daughters of the Jiang family in the county guard's mansion, and they are all prosperous, and the precocious Jiang Rou will naturally not be confused.
Thinking that there were five girls beside her girl who could help with ideas, and called Chunying Lufu to tell her again and again, seeing that the two of them nodded again and again, and their faces were a little pale, Cui's mother sighed, with a sad look in her eyes, and let the two leave.
The night before leaving, Xu took Miao'e to the peach blossom dock at night, stuffed two brocade boxes for Jiang Yuan, and only told her to put them away carefully.
The mother and daughter sat together and talked intimately for a long time, until the county keeper sent someone to the seventh girl's room to find his wife, Xu Shi got up embarrassedly, covered her red cheeks with a silk handkerchief, touched her head and turned around and went out.
Picking the lid with her fingertips, Jiang Ying pursed her lips, and there was warmth in her eyes.
The larger box contained three thousand taels of silver tickets, and nearly a hundred pieces of silver. These are the wife's private houses, and they can not use the public money, and they can't let people find out that the dowry brought to the Jiang family has been passive, and these silver coins should be saved by the wife in peacetime.
The county keeper had already made the decision, and each girl was given five hundred taels of silver. It's not that Lord Jiang loves money, so he is reluctant to give the girl more for self-defense. But the girl in the house is still young, and the Jiang family is upright, and the master and the girl are not allowed to develop the bad habit of spending money lavishly since they were young, and they are not allowed to go out to show off.
Xu Shi took out a lot of silver tickets at once, and he thought that Jiang Yu would not be missing.
The rest of the brocade box was full of decent jewelry. Jade bracelets, ear beads, ornamented jewels...... All of them are new styles, and they are worth a lot of money at a glance, no wonder I heard that Tao's mother ran several times to "Jin Yuxuan" a few days ago.
Jiang Ying picked out a two-winged single-strand small phoenix hairpin, twisted it on her fingertips and played for a while, looking at this exquisite jewelry, she didn't know that this was the wife's thoughtfulness, and even the generous gifts that could help her make friends with the noble girl were prepared in advance.
Lying on the soft couch and looking at the brocade box for a while, her eyes were reluctant to look around her familiar boudoir, and the seventh girl sighed in a sullen voice, "I'm really leaving......
This time, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until the end of the year.
Although the female school can take a few days off in a month, Taelong County is too far away from the foothills, even if you take the waterway, you can't catch up with the schedule.
The seven girls regretted that they had to travel far as a last resort, but the five girls in the Feiyi Pavilion were elated, and they wished that they could not dawn earlier.
"Miss, I heard that Mrs. Fang Cai went to the courtyard of the seventh girl alone. You said, did the wife carry the adults behind her back and give the seventh girl some money in private? ”
This time, I was able to go out with the five girls, and Xin Zhi and Jian Yun were all happy. In his own yard, he speaks and does things with a bit of arrogance that is different from others. can follow the girl to Lushan Girls' School, this is the master's promotion, the top of the big decent.
Jiang Rou pulled off the slanted bun and shook her head, her eyes fell on Jian Yun who replied, although she thought like this in her heart, she was very unhappy, but she had to beat her maid on her mouth.
"You two remember, Ming'er is out of the house, and my seventh sister and I are grasshoppers on the same line. In the eyes of others, she and I are both girls from the Jiang family, and if anything goes wrong, the other will be humiliated. Remember not to take the initiative to stir up trouble, if you want to come to my good sister, you also know this truth. ”
Jiang Rou said and mocked the corners of her mouth. Maybe she should be glad that she went with the seventh sister who was the most clumsy in the house, instead of Jiang Chun, the second girl who always wanted to get out and cause trouble.
This time, she was able to squeeze into the circle of the upper elites in Jizhou, and the fifth girl, Jiang Rou, had already worked hard and vowed to earn a future for herself, and she couldn't tolerate others doing bad things to her.
It should be known that the girls' school and the official school are only separated by a wall, and the girls are not forbidden to go out to play during vacations. If she is fortunate enough to be favored by the children of the powerful, it will be a blessing that she has cultivated for several lifetimes.
Thinking about it like this, it is irrepressible, and the figure of the ink robe comes to mind again - the manly bearing is modest, the eyebrows and eyes are warm, and even the back is a little elegant and beautiful.
It's a pity that after all, I have a shallow relationship with him, and the two will only drift apart in the future.
Until the second day, he was sent out of the door by everyone, and said goodbye to the county guard and his wife Xu in a trance, Jiang Rou was helped by Xin Zhi to board the carriage, and she was shocked and angry in her heart, clasping her palm, and remorse swept in one after another.
On that day, the second master of the Zhang family came to the door as a guest, could it be to inform that the Zhang family also had to be supported by the Guogong Mansion? Now that she was the only one who was kept in the dark, she suddenly met the person's gaze, and she couldn't stop being shocked and ashamed on her face, panicked, where could she hide it!
The more I thought about it, the more I felt ashamed. The five girls twisted the silk handkerchief, and before the carriage had taken a few steps, their hearts were already in chaos.
Secretly raised the corner of the curtain, and the vermilion gate of the county guard mansion behind him was no longer visible. Jiang Ying thought about the panic in the eyes of the five girls, and her heart was also mixed.
Jiang Rou was unwilling to be mediocre because of the little thing in her heart, and she refused to be subservient, and now she can be regarded as reaping the consequences.
And the antecedents she planted in front of the son of the world attracted the attention of that person, and afterwards she figured out that she had to remedy it obediently. But the man ...... Will you raise your noble hand and be less embarrassed by her?
