Chapter 52: The Eldest Princess's Teaching
When Princess Minglan arrived, the nobles in the pavilion all came out to salute, and Su Xizhu and others and some nobles who had the same heart as her also came out from various places to salute Princess Minglan.
"You don't have to be polite, you will be classmates in the future, I hope you can live a fulfilling life in the college." Princess Minglan can only be said to be delicate in appearance, but as a royal princess, her momentum is still very strong, after all, the royal family only let Princess Minglan as a representative this time, and the other princes and princesses are still going to school in the palace.
"Thank you Celestial Princess, the courtiers and others will definitely live up to the royal grace." Zhou Lingxuan and An Qinglian often go in and out of the palace, and they have a good relationship with the eldest princess.
Watching a few noble girls chatting, Su Xizhu secretly said Sure enough, the eldest princess is close to the two factions but they are not special, although Zhou Lingxuan and An Qinglian both want to pull the eldest princess to their side, they also know what the eldest princess thinks, and they dare not force it, after all, they are dragon sons and grandsons, no matter how valuable their status is, no matter how powerful their aunt is, the royal family will not let them bully their own princesses, especially the eldest princess is very decent in front of the emperor.
Zhou Lingxuan and An Qinglian glanced at each other, although the eldest princess did not favor her own side, she also did not favor her opponent, so they still did not lose or win, the two still kept smiling and decided to wait for the future.
The academy opened soon, everyone went to their own classes according to their age, Su Xizhu patted Su Xiju's head to cheer her up, and then followed everyone into Xinying Academy, because each person is only allowed to bring two maids, so even if they enter Xinying Academy, compared to the academy that covers a large area, there are some people who are small.
Originally, Su Xizhu thought that she could be low-key and inconspicuous, but she thought too well, and suddenly Su asked this brother Xiong, and pulled Zhong Lishu and wanted to run towards her, and Su Xizhu, who was frightened, hurriedly lowered her head and ran into the women's college.
"Hey, what's going on, why is my sister in such a hurry, I still have something to tell her." Su Wen looked at Su Xizhu's back and scratched his head.
"It's okay, let's go in too." Zhong Lishu saw that many people around him looked at them, knowing why his cousin ran away, so he could only pull Su Wen away, and the rest of the people didn't find anything, so they all entered the academy one after another.
Su Xizhu didn't hear any sound, let out a long sigh, and secretly said Fortunately, don't think that she didn't find that those little nobles were a little shy when they saw the big tree cousin, if the cousin came over at this time to ask for warmth, Su Xizhu was terrible to think about, fortunately she ran fast.
Su Xizhu's first class was taught by the eldest princess, and everyone had already received a book about the discipline and requirements of the academy and the detailed books of the disciplines, in addition to the compulsory female virtues and female rings, embroidery, arithmetic and etiquette, each of them also needed to take three auxiliary courses between piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, riding and archery.
When they arrived at the designated teacher, everyone found their own positions, but everyone was not stupid, and they all left the good seats in front of them to Princess Minglan and Zhou Lingxuan, An Qinglian and others.
Su Xizhu thought about her identity, and chose a position in the middle and back of the window, Su Xilan had already pulled Zhao Yuzao to her upper left corner, looking like she wanted to isolate her, Su Xizhu didn't care, fortunately, Su Xilan was still smart, although the position she chose was higher than her identity, it would not be too eye-catching.
"Is there anyone here, please?" Su Xizhu looked up and saw that it was a very hearty looking girl, looking very heroic, Su Xizhu had an impression of her, this was one of the girls who had not been involved in the two factions before.
"No, please take a seat, my name is Su Xizhu, and I was born in Annan Houfu." Su Xizhu had a good first impression of the new tablemate, so he introduced himself with a smile.
"My name is Xia Yun, and my father is Shaoqing of Dali Temple." Xia Yun also introduced himself with a smile. The two little girls had a good impression of each other, so they soon had a very pleasant conversation, and at this time the two future best friends officially met at this time.
Su Xilan looked at Su Xizhu chatting with people there and pouted, except for Zhao Yu, it is estimated that Xia Yun's identity is the lowest, after all, her father is from a poor family, although Shaoqing of Dali Temple still has real power, but compared with the powerful, it is much worse than the powerful, I really don't know where Su Xizhu came from to talk to Xia Yun so much.
Su Xizhu's behavior is self-depraved in Su Xilan's opinion, they are also the concubines of the Hou Mansion, how can they have a relationship with the children of the Han family, Su Xilan feels that Su Xilan should not be able to make any considerable friends, so this is the case.
However, Su Xilan thought again, digging out the identity of the concubine of the Hou Mansion, Su Xizhu's background is actually not as good as Zhao Yu, after all, the third uncle is white, thinking about it like this, Su Xilan unconsciously puffed up her chest.
Su Xilan glanced at Xia Yun carefully, well, the appearance is average, it is estimated that the other party made friends with her because Su Xizhu looked worse than her, hum.
Although Su Xilan's identity is not up to the bottom, the overall appearance of Su Mansion is very good, so among the women, Su Xilan's appearance can also be classified as first-class, but it makes a few noble girls take a few more looks, after all, for women, this life is the mother's family, husband's family, children and appearance are always the most important.
Of course, Su Xizhu is also very eye-catching, after all, her obviously larger figure is difficult not to pay attention to, although Su Xizhu's skin is the best among these people, pink and fair, crystal clear, but a fat man destroys everything.
So in addition to smiling in their hearts, everyone didn't pay attention to the people of Annan Houfu who didn't have a team, after all, they were really useless, and this kind of thinking invisibly helped Su Xizhu.
Soon it was time for class, in fact, Su Xizhu was still very strange about the arithmetic by the eldest princess, the eldest princess did not look like a person who needed to bother with housekeeping before or after marriage, after all, women opened arithmetic more for housekeepers.
"Most of you should already be proficient in arithmetic, after all, you have all started to contact housekeepers according to your age, so I will teach you the first lesson you have when you come to the academy, not the master who teaches female virtues and female precepts."
The eldest princess is graceful and luxurious, her appearance is gorgeous, and her raised eyebrows let people know that her temper is not very good, she is also a princess from a royal family, Princess Minglan is much worse than the eldest princess in terms of appearance and momentum, so everyone is very honest and listens to the eldest princess's teaching.
"Learning arithmetic well is to manage the family, of course, it doesn't mean that you can manage the inner house well if you learn arithmetic well, but if you don't learn well, you must not manage well, and you can't find out how to take care of the inner house when people fool you.
The people here are all famous and noble women, even if they have not managed the house, they have learned arithmetic and know the importance of arithmetic, so the eldest princess is not verbose, she directly cuts to the topic, and does not talk about those basics but starts teaching the skills that housekeepers need.
Everyone was a little happy like this, after all, since the eldest princess opened her mouth, she could hear that she was really good at managing these, and of course there were also ugly faces, such as Su Xilan and Zhao Yu.
Su Xilan is because she prides herself on being a talented woman, and she only cares about the poetry and songs of the wind and snow, where will she like these? And Zhao Yu lacks systematic teaching, Su Fang herself is not good at these, and her housekeepers only learned after getting married.
It's just that the Zhao family is not a big family, so the housekeeper is relatively simple, and later Su Fang was widowed and returned to her parents' house, except for the money on her side, there is only one shop in Shengjing, so it is really simple to manage with Zhao Yu.
In this way, the two of them can't keep up with the teaching of the eldest princess, but these are like fish in water for Su Xizhu, after all, she is not bad at math herself, but she follows the management of her mother's shops, so the teaching of the eldest princess is not a problem at all.
In fact, most of the noble girls can follow the teaching of the eldest princess, after all, they are going to be clan wives in the future, and a few really don't have this talent, and it is more difficult to learn, but fortunately, they can go back and ask their mothers for advice, so they are very confident.
The eldest princess is also teaching girls to study for the first time, and it feels a little novel, especially looking at the eyes of the little girl below, it is even more motivating, no wonder the colt likes to teach, it is really interesting.
In fact, although the nobles at the bottom are interested in arithmetic, everyone behaves well more to leave a good impression on the eldest princess, not only because the eldest princess has a noble status, but also because the eldest princess's only son is not married.
It stands to reason that the eldest princess's only son, Wei Chengjin, is about to be twenty years old, and his good friend Han Zhan, the son of Dingguo, has been married for a few years.
Who knew that Wei Chengjin went out of Beijing to study not long after he was released from the Korean War, and the nobles of the right age didn't know how many handkerchiefs they cried and wet, and now they are not cheaper than the nobles who didn't want to be Wei Chengjin at the same age, so everyone secretly poked and poked their efforts to leave a good impression on the eldest princess.
The eldest princess looked at the little girls who had a strong desire to learn and decided that she must teach well and live up to the expectations of these children, and a beautiful misunderstanding was born.
"An Qinghe, you say, what will you do if the servant gives you this page of account book?" The eldest princess took out a page and looked at Zhou Lingxuan.
An Qinghe looked at the many daily expenses written on it, thought for a while, and said, "I will compare the prices of similar accounts in the past two years, my Jin Kingdom has been smooth and stable over the years, if the source is not big, I will agree." ”
The eldest princess didn't speak, but looked at Zhou Lingxuan, "I will ask the servant who has nothing to do with the purchase to go to the market to investigate the price, if it is not much different from the price written above, I will agree." ”
Su Xizhu listened to the words of the two top nobles in the school and felt a little funny in her heart, there was nothing wrong with what the two of them said, An Qinghe even complimented the current emperor, but they all misunderstood what the eldest princess meant.
Rather than saying that the eldest princess intends to count, it is better to say that the eldest princess points at people and understands whether the slave is in line with the numbers or not, of course, Su Xizhu knows this in his heart.
