"Girl, why is she like this?" Fu Shu was very dissatisfied with Xu Xi's attitude, "How can you ignore it." In this mansion, who else can take care of her except the girl? Look at her frivolous. ”

Zhao Ruyu sighed lightly: "It's because of me that she has been in that kind of place for more than ten years." She hates me, shouldn't she? ”

"Can this be blamed on the girl? It's not the girl's own will. If she wants to complain, she can only blame her adoptive mother. Fu Shu is loyal to Zhao Ruyu, so he naturally prefers to speak to his own girl.

She looked at the direction in which Zhao Ruyu was going, and asked again, "Let's go back?" How do you explain to your wife? ”

"Tell me the truth. If the old lady doesn't summon me, can I take the initiative to get in? What's in it for me? Zhao Ruyu smiled, "It's just a few lessons from Madame, and it's not that I haven't heard it." Listen to it. ”

"Wait for the list of the Beijing Women's Academy to come out, and the girl's name is on it, and then it will be seen if the lady dares to scold the girl at will." Fu Shu's face showed a look of expectation.

Although Zhao Ruyu did not speak, there was a glint of hope in his eyes.

She was reborn a month ago, and all the energy she had since been reborn has been used to get identity papers. After thinking of a lot of ways, knowing that without the hands of the old lady and the eldest lady, she basically couldn't get the identity documents, so she simply tried to find a way to attract the attention of the second son of Pingnan Hou in advance, so that the old lady and the eldest lady would pay attention to her.

After her background was exposed, she tactfully expressed her worries to the old lady, worried that the Pingnan Hou Mansion would dislike her background, and revealed that she wanted to be admitted to the women's academy. Although the old lady didn't believe that she could really get in, she still got her identity paperwork.

The day before yesterday, she successfully went to the women's academy.

The old lady was worried that she would not be laughed at if she failed the test, and before the results came out, no one said anything except the eldest lady.

But Zhao Ruyu herself knew that she would definitely be able to get in.

In her last life, she married the second son of Pingnan Hou, and later became Mrs. Hou, and she also knew some forms of the entrance examination for women's colleges. Although the way of asking questions is different every year, the form is unexpected, and people don't know how to prepare at all. But as long as you have a heart, you can always see the clues.

In addition to conduct, the Beijing Women's Academy also has high requirements for talent and learning. In her last life, she tried to win her husband's heart, but she spent a lot of effort on talent and learning, and among the nobles in the capital today, she is now outstanding. It's just that she hasn't had a chance to show it yet. But with her talent and knowledge, and knowing the tricks of the exam, it is no problem to be admitted to the Beijing Women's Academy.

She's confident.

In this life, she must live better than in the previous life.

At this time, Xu Xi was drinking tea and eating snacks in the old lady's courtyard. The Hou Mansion raised a cook, and the dim sum he made was much stronger than the dim sum he bought when he went shopping with Xu Yongyi's father and daughter that day, with excellent materials and fine workmanship, and there were many things that Xu Xi had not eaten.

The old lady has also touched Xu Xi's temperament now. This kid seems to eat soft rather than hard. Xu Yongyi's family is good to her, and she never forgets that family. Wei treated her badly, even if it was her mother, she didn't give half of her face.

So no matter what she thought in her heart, on the surface, she was kind to Xu Xi, let Xu Xi eat at will, and asked her about her life in the Xu family since she was a child.

Fortunately, Xu Xi has the memory of the original owner and is not afraid of people asking. From life in the county to the village, she talked about how good the Xu family was to her, which made the old lady more and more sure of her conjecture.

At this time, the eldest lady also came in, and said to Xu Xi with a smile: "I asked people to clean up the tea house for you, which is near the old lady's courtyard." The yard is relatively small, so you can make do with it first. You can go and see in a moment, and if there is anything missing, I will send someone to bring it to you. ”

Xu Xi stood up as early as when she came in, and hurriedly blessed her when she heard the words: "I'm tired of the eldest aunt, Ruxi has caused trouble to the eldest aunt." ”

"Sit, sit down and talk." The eldest lady took the tea handed over by the maid and sat down to drink tea and eat snacks together.

In this way, the chatting group changed from two people to three people, and the atmosphere became more and more relaxed.

After talking for a while, the eldest lady became more and more surprised.

Whether a person is knowledgeable or not, you can know by listening to what she says, which cannot be hidden.

From Xu Xi's words, I can hear that although this child cannot be said to be very talented, he has a wide range of knowledge and a very broad vision.

"Sister Xi, how do you know this? Did your adoptive parents take you to a lot of places? The eldest lady asked.

Xu Xi smiled: "I like to read travelogues and write miscellaneous notes of all kinds of anecdotes. ”

"I see." The eldest lady and the old lady glanced at each other, and looked up and gestured to their eldest maid.

The maid handed a purse to Xu Xi.

The eldest lady said: "You will go to the academy tomorrow to report, this is the restraint and other expenses given to you by the house." ”

She motioned for Xu Xi to open it. Xu Xi poured out the contents of the purse. Inside was a silver ticket, five ingots of silver, and some broken silver.

The eldest lady said again: "The silver ticket is one hundred taels, you put it on your body for self-defense, and you won't be blind when you are in a hurry to use the money." The silver ingots were two taels each, and ten taels in all. You go to the academy tomorrow to pay the bundle and other expenses, and if you want to come to six taels, it is enough, and the remaining four taels are your monthly silver for half a month. There are also two taels of silver for broken silver, which are for you to get petty or reward. ”

This hundred taels was decided to be given by her after discussing with the old lady.

The house couldn't make ends meet, and it cost Xu Xi a lot of money to make jewelry and clothes. If Xu Xi didn't go out to school, they would give Xu Xi a maximum of fifty taels of silver, and at other times they would only give a monthly amount of silver.

Give the fifty taels, or because the other sisters grew up, the red seal silver they got during the New Year, they also saved seventy or eighty taels, whether it was to buy something or to celebrate the birthday of the little sister, they would not have any money on hand. Xu Xi has not been able to enjoy the benefits of the Hou Mansion for so many years, and it is always unreasonable not to give her some silver.

can give the Xu family a hundred taels of thanks, but the Xu family didn't ask for it. Xu Xi has to go out to school here again, and her money is too shabby, others not only laugh at her, but also laugh at Hou Fu.

Therefore, after discussing with the old lady, the eldest lady decided to give her a hundred taels of silver.

Zhu Shi looked at Xu Xi and said, "Originally, the girls in the house had a monthly monthly silver of four taels. When you go to school outside, the cost of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone is greater, and the house gives you eight taels of silver a month. Now there is still half a month before the next moon silver in the house, so I will give you four taels first. If there's any big expense, tell me and I'll give it to you. ”

"Thank you, auntie." Xu Xi stood up and thanked him.
