Jiang Lan sneaked back into the courtyard, but she was restless, thinking about Lu Weizhang's words, and her mind became more and more confused, but she unconsciously snickered with joy,

It turns out that it's not that no one has proposed,

There have always been people waiting for her, and she is a man with a prominent status and outstanding appearance like Lu Weizhang.

But she never knew about it.

She doesn't regard Lu Weizhang as her first choice.

Because Mama Du hasn't made a decision yet.

The most outstanding Jiang Ruofu has already been proposed.

Jiang Baohe lost his reputation and could not have another chance.

Jiang Moyin is not good at anything, and only thinks about obeying her parents' arrangements.

It goes without saying who Mama Du will choose.

But it is also difficult to guarantee that accidents will happen, and at that time, Lu Weizhang will be her second choice.

The maid ran in, attached to the ear Jianglan dive road,

"Miss, that Lu Gongzi stopped at the door for a while before leaving."

"And I'm still watching you enter the door, I'm afraid I'm very reluctant."

The maid has the meaning of ridicule.

Jiang Lan was concentrating but beating faster seriously, and her palms became more and more sweaty.

At night, someone threw a ball of paper from outside the wall.

Ask her to meet at Baijulou.

Jiang Lanqian watched as everyone gathered around Jiang Ruofu and got into the carriage.

Whether they had offended Jiang Ruofu before or not, they all rushed up to say good and obedient.

Straighten her skirt and bun, carry a lamp for her, and help her lift the curtains.

The wind is full of laughter and kind words of flattery.

Jiang Lanqian felt dazzling when she looked at it, covered herself with a vertebral hat, and left while everyone was currying favor with Jiang Ruofu.

Jiang Lan sneaked outside the Baiju Building, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

She hasn't been to Baiju Building yet.

Jiang Lanqian didn't know that Baijulou was also open at night, but only the side door was opened at night, not the main door.

She stood downstairs at Baiju, and she didn't know how to go up for a while.

Lu Weizhang pushed open the window and looked at Jiang Lanqian downstairs.

His eyes lit up, and he called her a little funny,

"Why didn't my sister come up?"

He nodded to the slave beside him,

"Go down and bring her up."

Jiang Lanqian looked up and saw Lu Weizhang smiling at her against the window, and the young man's smile was undisguised.

Jiang Lan moved in her heart.

But he was a little embarrassed,

"The main gate is not open, I don't know how to get up."

Lu Weizhang smiled lightly.

It so happened that the servant came up from the side door, and said respectfully,

"Miss Jiang, our son asked the slave to take you up."

Jiang Lanqian looked up at the window, Lu Weizhang didn't know when he was no longer there.

Her heart was unconsciously empty.

The servant led her through the side door, and the hall was very empty, but it was brightly lit, and the mahogany floor was so heavy that it would not creak when stepped on.

The wide staircase is covered with a shaggy gray short-hair carpet and is divided into two rows of stairs, one east and one west.

The handrail of the staircase is deeply carved with the pattern of flowing clouds, and the place where the knife enters is almost hollowed, and some of the hollowed out places are just enough to put an incense burner with the base of flowing clouds, and the lid is also a flowing cloud pattern, and you can only smell its fragrance and not see the incense burner.

Smoke emanates from the handrails of the stairs, and the smoke curls like a fairyland.

Jiang Lanqian suddenly saw smoke coming from the handrail of the staircase, and thought it was on fire, she was startled and didn't dare to step forward.

The servant smiled kindly,

"Miss don't be afraid, this is the embedded incense burner."

Jiang Lanqian responded embarrassedly,

"I see."

The slave was kind on the face, but he was secretly laughing in his heart that Jiang Lan had no knowledge, and he didn't even know that the incense burner was embedded inside, and he was really a frog at the bottom of the well.

The dome of Baijulou is paved with dozens of lamps, with different shapes, but they are all flowers with good meanings.

The entire lobby is brightly lit.

Jiang Lanqian only then knew why the light in this lobby was so bright even if it was not lit, it turned out that the lights were all on the dome.

Just when a lamp went out, the shopkeeper pulled the rope to put the lamp down, replaced the candle and re-lit it, and carefully pulled it up.

Jiang Lan stared intently.

The slave looked down on her more and more.

As soon as he came to look left and right, he was a thief with eyebrows and rat eyes, as if he had never seen anything good, why did the son fall in love with such a woman?

Sure enough, there is still a difference between the surname Jiang and the surname Jiang.

The servant led her to the door of the Xuanzi private room, and said respectfully,

"Please go in by yourself."

Jiang Lanqian was a little apprehensive, pushed the door in, and saw Lu Weizhang squinting his eyes slightly and making tea, his appearance was a little indifferent, which was completely different from the Lu Weizhang he had seen before.

Lu Weizhang heard the sound of pushing the door, raised his eyes to look over, but returned to his usual smiling face and put down the teaspoon.

Jiang Lan sat down opposite Lu Weizhang, and Lu Weizhang asked,

"Does my sister like to drink flower tea?"

Jiang Lanqian nodded solemnly.

Lu Weizhang smiled.

The tea was quickly brewed, and the flames of the small stove gradually died.

Lu Weizhang picked up the teacup with a tea tong and handed the sunrise flower tea to Jiang Lanqian.

"There are flowers planted in Baiju Building, this is freshly picked, and the nectar is still there, I guess my sister likes it."

Jiang Lan sneaked to pick it up, but she didn't want the teacup to be so hot that her hands hurt, she subconsciously let out a low cry and shook off her hand.

Lu Weizhang rolled his eyes and laughed.

Placing the teacup in front of her with a teacup clamp, he said softly,

"Be careful."

There was no laughing at her.

Jiang Lan calmed down for a while.

Lu Weizhang said casually,

"Is my sister the first girl in the family?"

Jiang Lanqian nodded, but she was a little more confident,

"I'm the eldest daughter."

What she hated the most before has now become the only capital she can speak.

Lu Weizhang chuckled meaninglessly,

"Are the other sisters in my sister's family as beautiful as my sister?"

Jiang Lan subconsciously wanted to admit it, but she paused as if she thought of something, and hesitated for a while before saying,

"Each flower has its own eyes, and naturally it can't be compared together."

Lu Weizhang looked at her with his chin propped up, and his tone was charming,

"Oh..."

He didn't continue to ask, but said,

"On the last day of the Flower Dynasty, would my sister be willing to go with me to see the Flower God Parade Street?"

His inquiry was somewhat sudden.

But Jiang Lanqian shook her dress, and there was uncontrollable excitement in her voice,

"Okay."

——

Jiang Baohe lifted the curtain made of inferior water jade, his face changed, and he pulled the water jade curtain and asked Ye Qiandao,

"What's going on?"

Ye Qian replied respectfully,

"The original lady of the bead curtain took it and gave it away."

Jiang Baohe let go of the bead curtain and scorned,

"It's for Jiang Ruofu."

Ye Qian knew that she couldn't hide it, so she could only acquiesce.

It's just that to Ye Qian's surprise, Jiang Baohe just glanced at the bead curtain lightly and didn't speak again.

Jiang Baohe has lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and his original plump figure is now empty when he wears his former clothes.

Tie your belt tightly so that it doesn't look like it can't hold up your clothes.

The jaw of the face is distinct, and even the whole person is a lot darker.

always looks at people without raising his eyelids, and doesn't smile much, so much like Jiang Hong.

Zhu was still scolding, Jiang Baohe sat in, just picked up the chopsticks and ate, listening to Zhu's tantrum blankly.

She didn't chew much, just stuffed food into her mouth as if she had no sense of taste.

Eyes glazed eyes look ahead.

Zhu said indignantly,

"We must find out who is behind the scenes."

"What do you want you to do, it's been so many days, the fourth lady has come out, and you haven't found the culprit yet, what can you do!"

Everyone was accustomed to this atmosphere, and they didn't dare to come out.

Jiang Baohe listened to things related to herself, but her expression was numb, she didn't say a word, she put down her chopsticks and left after eating, and Zhu didn't have time to stop her.

Jiang Baohe returned to the courtyard, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and it didn't take long for him to look like he was already asleep.

Ye Qian saw that she was asleep, so she blew out the candle.

Jiang Baohe closed his eyes and wept, and pulled the quilt to cover his head.

The sudden darkness was more dazzling than a ray of light that had been in the darkness for a long time.

Let that helpless time come back to the present.

For three whole days, in that dark Buddha hall, no one answered her, no one talked to her, there was no light, she couldn't tell the difference between black and white day and night.

The only time there is light is when the door is opened in the morning and evening for her to be relieved.

But the first thing she saw at that time was the Buddha statue staring at her.

The eyes are so black and white that they are frightening, not like Buddhas, but more like ghosts.

In the darkness, this is the same pair of eyes that have been staring at her.

She ducked back desperately, curled up away from the treasure.

But she still felt that there were a pair of eyes looking at her in the dark.

The owner of those eyes would knock her unconscious in the middle of the night and move her to Jiang Ruofu's bed.

Use all the tricks she and her mother have set up on her.

She will lose her innocence, she will lose her honor, she will conceive the seed of a slave, she will become the wife of a subordinate, and she will grovel like those slaves to earn a living, eat the most unpalatable food, and live in the dirtiest house.

She also had to fight with those slaves and maids over a little thing, and even her worst-married sister would laugh at her.

Once she stumbles, she will never recover in this life.

No one spoke to her for three days, and there was no light, so that she felt as if she was blind, and she could not sleep in the darkness, but could only keep her eyes open, always on guard, and would wake up suddenly when she was half asleep and half awake.

He was covered in cold sweat, but he couldn't see his fingers, and he didn't know what was in the dark.

I don't know if those eyes are quietly watching her in the darkness again.

Took what she had taken away and demanded more.

Jiang Baohe covered half of his face, crying in the moonlight that came through the window screen.

——

Jiang Ruofu didn't expect that this new female lecturer would be Mama Du.

When Mama Du walked in, she naturally ordered Jiang Lan to sneak forward and recite the four books of the girl.

Jiang Lan dived backwards and turned her back like a stream.

Mama Du nodded approvingly,

"Let's go back."

"If you can memorize the fourth female book so fluently, you can try it all up, and you can take this course of mine after memorizing it, but you can't memorize it."

Mama Du's eyes swept down and said,

"Miss Shu Yun will come first."

Jiang Shuyun stood up obediently, although the part that was drawn was not as fluent as Jiang Lanqian's recitation, in the end, it was memorized, and there was no big mistake or omission.

Everyone was waiting in line to be pumped back, and Jiang Ruofu was among them.

In the end, everyone passed, even though there was no special women's study course before, but how could these young ladies not learn the fourth female book?

Even if Jiang Ruofu didn't even go to school, he could memorize it well.

The fourth book of women is a model that women must memorize, although Jiang Ruofu disagrees with many of them.

But she didn't want her aunt to be sad, she had heard enough of the word fireworks, and she definitely didn't want others to have an excuse to attack her.

Mama Du let everyone get up, and said,

"The girls of the Jiang family all sit together, according to the ranking of several generations of the clan, and the positions of the young ladies' fathers on the family tree will be ranked by the young ladies."

This class gathered all the women in the Jiang Academy.

Jiang Ruofu and Jiang Moyin, Jiang Lanqian are naturally together.

Jiang Shuyun sat alone in the first row.

The girl surnamed Zhong Jiang didn't think much about it, but the daughter of the Inner History Mansion had to think about it.

Mama Du didn't pick a girl in the Inner History Mansion, so she picked them all to the school?

Mama Du said,

"The ladies with his surname should also move to the Lan Room, there will be a new female scholar there to teach you, the daughter of the Jiang family has unique rules, and the natural teaching course is not very similar to others, please forgive me."

The female students with other surnames whispered and went out with their books in twos and threes.

Mama Du finally stood in the center of the podium, folded her hands in front of her, and said,

"The Queen Mother admires the Jiang family very much, and specially sent me to the Jiang family to meet the young ladies, and all the young ladies have basically memorized the four female books proficiently, if the Queen Mother knows, she must be very pleased."

"Recently, I hope that all the ladies will do their best to do it, and if you do well, your position can naturally be transferred forward, and if you do poorly, you can go back one place. At the end of this course, the girl sitting in the front will be on the same level as Miss Shu Yun in the future, and you must know what I mean. ”

As soon as the words fell, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves.

What is the meaning of Mama Du's words, others can't understand it, can't the girl of the Jiang family still understand?

This is the only chance for those who have been marginalized to come out!

Walking with Jiang Shuyun's position, she is the daughter of the great sect!

will be recorded in the big sect, marry Gaomen, and from then on, her status will rise to the top, and she will no longer be a little side daughter, and even if she is a concubine, she will have a chance!

The girl who had been selected for a round but was not selected was even more excited, thinking that she would never have a chance again, but she didn't expect another village.

Now Mama Du is actually red... Bare... The naked ground puts this opportunity of competition in front of everyone.

As long as they do well enough, they can climb all the way to the top of the sky.

And in the future, she will be even more prominent than the real concubine of the great sect.

Because the Jiang family only chooses girls from the side line to marry, the eldest lady of the real line never marries.

Even if the real concubine Jiang Shuyun marries someone in the court, she will not choose a position that is too high, and the Jiang family has always deliberately maintained a relationship with the powerful and the powerful, supporting each other but not dependent.

to show that the Jiang family does not enter the heart of the prince.

Jiang Ruofu still sat in place, not seeing any change in his expression.

Jiang Mo knew that her qualifications were not enough, so she was a little disappointed at the moment, lying on the table, looking sideways at Jiang Ruofu and making a grimace at her.

Jiang Ruofu chuckled.
