Chapter Eighty-Five: Changing Seats (Five Watches)

"Yes, we live at home." Xu Xi looked at them secretly, "You live in the dormitory?" ”

Those who can be admitted to the girls' academy must be able to afford pen, ink, paper and inkstone at home, and be willing to spend this money on their daughter, and someone in the family must be literate and literate. Then the family needs to be good, at least without worrying about food and clothing. Moreover, when you are new to the academy, your family will inevitably have to buy jewelry for new clothes, so that people don't look down on it.

Xu Xi originally only distinguished the difference between coarse cloth, muslin, and satin, and she didn't know how many kinds of silk there were, which one was the most expensive and which was the cheapest.

However, in the past two days, I lived in the Hou Mansion, and the maids and women above the second class in the house all wore silk, and with comparison, Xu Xi could see that the silk worn by the masters in the house was different from the silk worn by the maids. And the satin on Qingfeng's body is also different from that on Xu Xue's body. She has developed two points of eyesight.

At this time, seeing that although the two of them were wearing satin dresses, the fabric was similar to Xu Xue, they knew that the two of them had a normal family background.

She could see it, and so could others. Xu Xi deliberately chose a relatively low-key dress today, but from the exquisiteness of the fabric and embroidery, it can still be seen that there is a big difference from the dresses of the other three.

Zhang Lu obviously saw that Xu Xi's dress was different from Xu Xue's, and replied vaguely: "Yes, we live in the dormitory." He asked Xu Xi, "Aren't you sisters?" The tone is affirmative.

"Yes, cousin." Xu Xi replied.

Zhang Lu's face showed a look of understanding.

This hour is very close to the time of class, and after Zhang Lu and He Yuqi sat down, people arrived one after another. Within a quarter of an hour, the hall was almost full. The church hall was full of self-introductions and shouting to each other.

At this time, two more people came in outside the door, one in a red dress and the other in goose yellow, and the two saw that there was only the last row of seats left in the teaching house, and their faces were not very good-looking, and the woman in the red dress was even more unhappy.

The two stood there and said a few words, and the woman in the goose yellow dress came over and whispered to Zhang Lu with a look of embarrassment: "My sister asked me to come over and ask, can I change seats with you?" "The expression and tone of speech are extremely gentle.

Xu Xi and Xu Xue both turned their heads and glanced at Zhang Lu in amazement.

Zhang Lu was stunned for a moment, and immediately became embarrassed: "This ......"

She winked at He Yuqi and motioned for her to object.

But He Yuqi just didn't see it, and turned her head to talk to the person on the other end of the aisle.

Zhang Lu was out of luck now, and said to the woman in the goose yellow dress: "Even if I agree, it's useless, it's only a position." Your sister is going to sit with you, right? ”

The woman in the goose yellow dress glanced at He Yuqi and said to Zhang Lu: "If you agree, I'll talk to Miss He again." "Obviously I know Zhang Lu and He Yuqi.

Zhang Lu was forced into a corner now. She also glanced at He Yuqi, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I agree." ”

The woman in the goose yellow dress looked at He Yuqi: "Miss He......"

He Yuqi is not good at this time, pretending not to hear. Even if she pretends, the other party will inevitably ask her face.

She turned her head and said expressionlessly to the woman in the goose yellow dress: "I'm sorry, I don't want to sit in the back." ”

Zhang Lu suddenly showed joy. However, she reacted very quickly, and quickly pursed her lips to prevent it from going up.

The woman in the goose yellow dress did not entangle, her expression was still very gentle: "Okay, I know." With that, she turned around, returned to the woman in red, and told her about the situation.

Zhang Lu thought that there was nothing wrong with herself. For fear that the woman in red would not give up or be angry with her, she didn't dare to look that way, and went to talk to her classmates in the back. Unexpectedly, before she could say a word, the voice of the woman in the goose yellow dress sounded beside her: "Miss Zhang......"

Zhang Lu turned his head and saw the cold face of the woman in red.

The woman in the goose yellow dress smiled softly at her on the side: "Thank you, Miss Zhang." ”

This is...... Want to switch seats with her?

Zhang Lu looked at He Yuqi, and then at the two of them, and couldn't come back to their senses for a while.

Seeing that Zhang Lu didn't move, and because they hadn't sat down for a long time, someone had already looked this way, and the woman in red suddenly became impatient, and asked coldly, "Do you want to change it?" ”

Seeing her like this, Zhang Lu felt a surge of anger in her heart. Is this a begging attitude?

She wanted to reply with a backbone: "No, I won't change it." But thinking of the power of the woman in red's family, she still changed her words, "I promised Miss Mu, so naturally I want to change." ”

With that, she stood up, took the bag from the hole in the table, and made way for it.

The woman in red sat down honestly and unceremoniously.

Because of this movement, more people are looking this way. Seeing this, the woman in the goose yellow dress hurriedly pulled Zhang Lu to the back row, and said with a smile: "Let's go." ”

"It's not...... That one...... Don't you talk to He Yuqi anymore? Zhang Lu was unwilling to be unlucky alone. If someone is unlucky with her, then the number of bad luck can be reduced by half, and she will feel better.

"She doesn't want to, it's hard to force it." The woman in the goose yellow dress smiled softly.

They're not stupid. When they enter the academy, they represent not only themselves, but also their family's reputation. If something happens because of changing seats, not to mention being expelled from the academy, at least a row is indispensable. When the time comes, not only will they be criticized by the masters in the academy, but the elders in the family will definitely have to teach them a lesson. Of course, the younger sister will be reprimanded; And she, I'm afraid, will be beaten.

My sister didn't dare to make trouble herself, she ran to persecute He Yuqi after she was too late.

Zhang Lu's mood was so depressed that she wanted to hit the wall.

But the woman in the goose yellow dress was beside her, and she didn't dare to show any emotion. Otherwise, not only would she have lost such a favor for such a big gift, but she might also offend people.

At this point, everyone in the class had arrived, and only two seats in the corners of the last row remained. Zhang Lu followed behind the woman in the goose yellow dress and sat down in the corner.

It didn't take long for Mrs. Cui to come in and ask everyone to write down the course she was reading.

This is a ten-month holiday, that is, one day off every ten days. Therefore, the course is also arranged according to the ten-day cycle, which is a ten-day cycle. The Four Books and Five Classics, Qin, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting, Female Virtue, Law, History Books, and Female Red must be studied.

Of course, these four books and five classics are not studied in depth like those men who are going to take the imperial examination, but only have a general understanding.

Come to think of it, this is also for men. After all, most of the female students here came to study, and most of them were to increase their worth so that they could marry a wishful husband. And the man they marry must always learn the Four Books and the Five Classics. In this way, the couple has a common topic. It is not so that a man drags a text and tells an allusion to his wife, but his wife does not understand. This also tarnished the reputation of the girls' college.
