Chapter 110: Do You Support My Imperial Examination?
Where is Xu Xi willing to ask for Wei's things? Not to mention that the system has checked her world clearly, she is from the eldest lady and not from the second lady. Even if it was found out that she was indeed the daughter of the Wei family, she didn't want to get involved in the Wei family.
In his previous life, most of the original owner was destroyed in the hands of the woman in front of him.
"No need, Second Madame. The eldest lady made me a lot of clothes, and I had enough clothes to wear. I'm growing my body now, growing fast, and I won't be able to wear this dress next year, and it's a waste if I have more. You might as well send it to the sixth girl. β
Xu Xi said, too lazy to entangle with Wei, threw down the words and walked inside, and walked extremely fast.
"YouβAre you still blaming the mother? Woo ......" There was Wei's whimper behind her, and Mama Li's voice comforting her.
Qingfeng followed behind Xu Xi, and when she was far away from the Wei family, she whispered worriedly: "Girl, you will be gossiped about like this." β
Xu Xi snorted: "What's wrong with her." β
People are sympathetic to the weak, not to mention that the grandmothers and mothers in the house are all mothers, and they are most used to seeing people disrespecting their elders.
In their opinion, no matter how bad Wei did it was, such as holding the child wrong, Xu Xi slapped her again after he came back, but there are parents all over the world. The Wei family lowered their posture like this to please Xu Xi, and Xu Xi's attitude as a daughter was still so tough, which was really unusual. Maybe it was because she was rude to confront Wei that Wei hit her in the mouth.
Ancient women were the most famous. Once Xu Xi's reputation for unfilial piety and disobedience spreads, don't think about finding a good mother-in-law in this life - whose mother-in-law would marry such a daughter-in-law to enter the door? Don't you think your life will last?
But this trick didn't work for Xu Xi at all.
When Xu Xi walked to Rongxi Hall, he met a rough envoy of Rongxi Rong. She hurriedly asked her, "Is the sixth girl back?" β
"I'm back, I've been back for a while." The mother-in-law said with a smile on her face, "The fifth girl is a little late today. β
"There's something going on in the academy, so I'm coming back late." Xu Xi explained.
When the woman walked away, she turned her head and instructed Qingfeng: "You go and inquire." If the sixth girl has left the old lady, and there are only the old lady and the eldest lady in the main courtyard, you will come to me. I'll go back to Pinmingju first and wait for your news. β
"Yes."
The two parted on the road, Qingfeng went to Rongxi Hall, and Xu Xi returned to Pinmingju.
After a while, Qingfeng came back and said, "The sixth girl will go back after asking for peace." The eldest lady is helping the old lady pass the meal. β
Xu Xi stood up: "Follow me." β
When the two arrived at the Rongxi Hall, they didn't wait to salute, and the eldest lady asked, "Why did you come back so late today?" "There was a lot of worry and concern on his face.
"Master Cui from the academy asked me about something." Xu Xi saluted the two and sat down at the bottom of the two.
"What's the matter?" The old lady asked.
Xu Xi told him about the imperial examination and said, "I didn't dare to promise Master Cui, I came back and asked you two first." β
"You mean, you took the first place in the Four Books and Five Classics?" The old lady asked in surprise.
Xu Xi nodded: "That's what Cui Fuzi said, but it hasn't been announced in the class yet." β
"That's right." The old lady said.
Because Bac Ninh is a county to which the capital belongs, the geographical position is superior, coupled with the flat terrain and fertile land, many wealthy families in the capital have Zhuangzi fields in Bac Ninh. The Suiping Marquis Mansion used to have fields there, but later the grandfather of the country fell ill, and there were big and small things in the house, so the Zhuangzi there was sold.
When he ascended the throne and rewarded Bac Ninh to Princess Shangde as a fief, I heard that it caused a storm in the royal family. You can see how coveted this place is.
Because of this geographical advantage, coupled with the prestige and status of the eldest princess of Shangde, it is very convenient for the Bac Ninh County Girls' Academy to invite well-known teachers in Beijing, and the teaching force is stronger than that of many provincial women's colleges. Many ladies from wealthy families who are well-off and wealthy, as long as they are not bound by housework and have no political and personal relationship with the eldest princess of Shangde, are willing to accept the employment of Bac Ninh Girls' Academy.
Not only them, but also the old officials who were born as jinshi.
Because Xu Xi was studying at the Bac Ninh Women's Academy, the old lady specially sent someone to learn about this academy. She knew that Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Xiao, etc., were all wives of wealthy families.
People of this status naturally would not joke with Xu Xi about the imperial examination.
Thinking of this, the old lady looked at the eldest lady and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that our Hou Mansion would actually produce a reading seed." β
The original grandfather was a military general. It was only because Zhao Yuanxun was not in good health and the old lady pressed her concubine that no one in this generation went to serve in the army.
Zhao Jingli, the eldest of this generation, has just turned fourteen years old, and he only follows the martial arts masters at home to learn martial arts, and is ready to go to the army to find a job when he is older. As for the battlefield, because there are not many heirs in each house, and there are only one or two sons, they are naturally reluctant to let them go.
If the generals don't go to the battlefield, the future will be like that, at most they will just make a false job.
The old lady and the eldest lady didn't think about letting their children go to the imperial examination, but Zhao Jingli wanted to attack the knighthood, and Zhao Jingtai was a bear child who couldn't sit still, and he left the invited teachers angrily for several times, where could he expect it?
As for the children in the second and third rooms, they did not show particularly good reading talents, and the old lady and the eldest lady did not want them to be more productive than the big house. Therefore, Zhao Yuanliang and Zhao Yuankun didn't mention it, and they were happy to pretend to be confused.
The two generations are not literate, and the decline of the Hou Mansion can be imagined.
Now that there is a Xu Xi, even if she is a woman, the old lady is also pleasantly surprised.
The eldest lady's gaze at Xu Xi was different from that of the old lady, and the complex emotions contained in it were indescribable even to the eldest lady herself.
"What are you going to do? Do you want to go? The eldest lady asked.
In the past two days, Xu Xi also thought about this problem, and then nodded and said, "You can give it a try." β
In this life, it doesn't matter if you marry or not, it doesn't hurt to marry a suitable one. The big pig's trotters are unreliable, and they can't be beaten in two. But to have a child of her own to raise, she thinks she can still have it.
It's okay to get married and have children, but let her stay in the back house for the rest of her life, that's impossible, and it's impossible to kill her. She's going to have to hang out outside, or do business to make money, or do something else.
In this case, it is logical that if you have made some achievements in the entrance examination, you will not only be able to change your name and wander around outside, make money to do business, or teach in a girls' college.
"Then let's take the test." The eldest lady said.
Xu Xi blinked.
She could guess that the old lady might support it, but she didn't expect the eldest lady to agree so simply.
