Chapter 28: The Bottom of the Test
Ran Qiunian saw that Ran Yu'er looked anxious, as if she had something to say to herself, so she didn't struggle, and followed her meaning to the hidden place together.
"Why are you in a hurry? What's wrong? ”
Ran Qiunian asked strangely.
Ran Yu'er has had more contact with her since the first day she went to school, and after that day, Ran Qiunian was busy opening a small stove with Master Xiugu, and Ran Yu'er herself was shy and silent. Although the two sat next to each other, they didn't say much.
"Fourth Miss should be careful today, I overheard that Third Miss and several good young ladies are ready to deal with you, or Fourth Miss should avoid the limelight today and come to the girls' school tomorrow."
Ran Qiunian didn't expect that Ran Yu'er was such a timid and fearful person, and at this time, she didn't think about Mingzhe to protect herself, but secretly came over to deliver the news to herself, and suddenly changed a little.
"Thank you for telling me the news, don't worry, Ran Susu doesn't dare to go too far, I'll improvise. Today is the day of Mama Jin's entrance examination, I don't want to miss it, you can go back and get ready. ”
Ran Qiunian patted Ran Yu'er's shoulder, smiled, and accepted this feeling, but she didn't plan to back down.
Ran Yu'er looked at Ran Qiunian's back without flinching with some concern, raised her heels, and the two entered the school one after the other.
As soon as Ran Qiunian entered the door, she felt the malicious gaze on her, and sat back in her place quietly, meeting Ran Susu's calculating eyes in front of her.
"Qingxi, is it that I have been recuperating for too long recently, so that they have misunderstood me and think that I have really become a nerd?"
Ran Qiunian joked with Qingxi softly, but her eyes gradually became cold, when she was rampant and domineering in the mansion as a little bully, Ran Susu still didn't know where to shrink, did she really think she was a good bully?
Qingxi thought about the violent temper of the young lady who dared to whip if she didn't agree with the water before she fell into the water, and was suddenly dumbfounded, and now that the young lady is changing more and more, she almost forgot that the young lady is not a good temper in the first place.
When everyone arrived, Mama Jin walked into the school and announced to several young ladies with different thoughts what part of the school examination was today.
"Today's examination school for you to use tea and banquet gifts, you can first prepare the things you need to use, start after a stick of incense, and come one by one."
This is the most commonly used etiquette, Ran Qiunian is very familiar with it, and she is already confident, and after Mama Jin leaves, she will let Qingxi prepare the utensils.
Ran Susu watched Qingxi go down, and also made a look at the personal maid beside her, the maid took the order and followed Qingxi's footsteps, and the other ladies also sent their subordinates to prepare.
"The fourth sister is already confident, right?"
Ran Susu looked at Ran Qiunian's indifferent appearance, and couldn't help but say sarcastic, Ran Qiunian raised her eyelids and glanced at her, ignoring it.
"You ......"
Ran Su couldn't sit still, but was pulled by Ran Yinyin, who was also calm and relaxed on the side, and then gave up.
After a stick of incense, Mama Jin returned to the school, ordered someone to collect the sundries in the room, and set up a low table and a mat in the vacant space in the center.
When the time came, the ladies began to show one by one, Ran Susu took the lead, the first to finish the display, and was corrected by Mama Jin A few mistakes, she accepted it on her face, but in her heart she scolded Mama Jin, who always found fault with her.
Mama Jin glanced at Ran Susu, who was unconvinced, a little disappointed, this girl is not pure-hearted, always thinking about taking shortcuts, how can she learn her skills well, I am afraid it is difficult to be creative.
After Ran Susu finished, he stood aside, waiting to see Ran Qiunian's jokes, and after a few people passed without being salty, it was finally Ran Qiunian's turn.
Mama Jin couldn't help but cheer up, wanting to see what kind of surprise Ran Qiunian could bring her this time. Ran Susu couldn't help but smile slightly, and was also quite looking forward to Ran Qiunian's next display.
Ran Qiunian cheered up, stepped forward and knelt down, picked up the tea set that Qingxi had changed in front of him, washed his hands and burned incense, and began to make tea.
As soon as Pu picked up the small scale of tea, Ran Qiunian felt that something was wrong, she quietly began to put the tea leaves, and found that the scale was really passive, and the amount was not accurate.
Twisting the tea leaves in her hand, Ran Qiunian felt that something was wrong, and after a closer look, the tea leaves were mixed with some grass leaves with very similar shapes, she and Master Xiugu had only learned the ability to identify herbs, although the grass leaves mixed in were harmless to people, but they would make the taste of tea smell earthy.
Then he took the small water urn that was placed on the side, and when he smelled it, the water was not fresh.
Ran Qiunian's lowered eyes flashed with coldness, it turned out that she was waiting for her here, if she hadn't learned these things well enough about tea ceremony, she might not have noticed it, no wonder even Qingxi, who had prepared these things for her, didn't find anything wrong.
Ran Susu looked at Ran Qiunian as if she hadn't found anything, and weighed her hands and feet, the different colors under her eyes gradually appeared, and her heart was full of anticipation waiting to see Ran Qiunian make a fool of herself.
She has a way to solve the amount of tea and the withered grass mixed in, but what to do with the stale pot of water?
Ran Qiunian thought slowly in her heart, but her subordinates were not in a hurry, and they were operating smoothly, so that Mama Jin couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
Ran Qiunian picked out the tea leaves, sifted off the dry grass, roughly weighed the amount, and prepared the tea leaves. She looked at the jug of water again and had an idea.
Seeing that Ran Qiunian actually took out the silver charcoal that had been burned in the hand stove, wrapped it in a thin cloth and threw it into the water urn, Ran Susu couldn't help but laugh.
"Is the fourth cousin crazy? Use this dirty charcoal to boil water, and dare to give the things that come out of this way to Mama Jin to drink? It's too illiterate. ”
Ran Qiunian was engrossed in what she was doing, ignoring Ran Susu's cynicism. But Mama Jin glanced at Ran Qiunian with implicit praise, and could think of using charcoal to remove the smell of water, it seems that Ah Xiu's child taught Nian'er well.
Mama Jin naturally saw that Ran Qiunian's movements must have been caused by the tea and water being moved, but she saw that Ran Qiunian didn't plan to interrupt the display, so she didn't know.
Regarding Ran Susu's inappropriate mocking posture, Mama Jin shook her head even more, such a temperament, no matter how well she learns etiquette, she is still a vulgar person.
Ran Qiu made a gesture and completed the tea ceremony meticulously, and the tea brewed was fragrant, which made all the ladies who were ready to watch her show a little incredulous.
Ran Susu saw that after Mama Jin drank the tea presented by Ran Qiunian, she praised her again and again, and couldn't help but stand up angrily and question.
"Mama Jin is unfair, the water used by Ran Qiunian to make tea is mixed with unclean charcoal, so the tea brewed in this way can still be delicious? Isn't it Mama Jin that you have received the benefits of the old lady, so you take care of Ran Qiunian everywhere, black and white are reversed, and there is no distinction between right and wrong? ”
At first, Ran Susu was hindered that Mama Jin came out of the palace, so she didn't dare to offend casually, but seeing that she hadn't been learning anything well in the past few days, she stopped thinking about excelling in the women's school, and she was not as obedient to Mama Jin as she was at the beginning.
Mama Jin glanced at the angry Ran Susu, and then at Ran Qiunian, who was speechless, and gently put the tea cup in her hand, but her whole body became majestic.
"What the third miss said is that I thought that this was a matter between you juniors, and you could solve it by yourself without interfering, but since the third miss wants me to be impartial, then I have to do it."
Ran Qiunian didn't expect Mama Jin to plan to cook Ran Susu directly, which saved her the trouble of doing it herself, so she waited to see Ran Susu's good show.
"Mama Jin, what do you mean by that? Do I see this injustice and don't even have the right to speak out? ”
Ran Susu is a little weak-hearted, but he thinks that he is hiding his hands and feet, and he will not be discovered.
"Since the third lady doesn't cry when she doesn't see the coffin, then let's come and bring all the maids who went to the warehouse to do their work."
Unexpectedly, Mama Jin didn't seem to be interested in the dark tide surging between everyone, but in fact, she had already secretly mastered all the movements, and even Ran Qiunian didn't expect that there were so many people who helped Ran Susu stumble on herself.
was accurately out of Mama Jin, and no one escaped, among these girls, there are daughters of families who are good friends with the Ran family, and there are also a few side branches, one is counted as one, and she was punished by Mama Jin all of them, and the copying ceremony is a hundred times of self-cultivation, and you can't enter the school again if you don't finish copying.
But the most unexpected thing for Ran Qiunian was that except for Ran Yuer and a few neutrals in the girls' school who were not very nosy on weekdays, Ran Susu's own sister Ran Yinyin did not even participate in this incident.
Ran Qiunian didn't think it was because Ran Yinyin had sisterly feelings for herself, if that was the case, why didn't she stop Ran Susu?
Xu felt Ran Qiunian's gaze, Ran Yinyin looked sideways, met Ran Qiunian's gaze, smiled gently, with a little apology in her eyes, and seemed to feel guilty for the ridiculous things Ran Susu had done.
Ran Qiunian suddenly felt creepy, this Ran Yinyin is really too hidden, if she hadn't been reborn in a lifetime and knew what kind of person Ran Yinyin was, I am afraid that she would really think that Sanfang had produced good bamboo shoots and raised such a good person as Ran Yinyin.
Ran Susu has learned a lesson, I am afraid that I will not see anyone for a long time when copying books at home, although I am still a little afraid of Ran Yinyin, but today Ran Qiunian's mood is very good.
"I got the first class today, I have to go and talk to the big brother, Qingxi, let's use today's dinner with the big brother."
Ran Qiunian didn't have to learn new things from Aunt Xiu today, so she was a little idle, thinking about staying with Xiao Yin for a while to cultivate the relationship between brother and sister.
If you can't see anyone all day like this, if you are really unfamiliar, Ran Qiunian will have nowhere to cry. She still remembered Xiao Yin's promise to take herself out to play after the Spring Festival.
Today is also a coincidence, Xiao Yin did not go out to socialize, Ran Qiunian did not fly in the air this time, happily found a position next to Xiao Yin, and watched Xiao Yin practice strategy.
"Spring is coming, I don't know how sure my brother is?"
After Xiao Yin stopped writing, Ran Qiunian came up and joked while admiring Xiao Yin's pleasing handwriting.
"Don't mess around."
Xiao Yin stretched out his hand to push Ran Qiunian's head away a little, stood up and took away the strategy written on the table, Ran Qiunian sat on Xiao Yin's seat just now, looking at Xiao Yin with his chin on his back.
