The Kyoto Girls' School is also a beautiful environment, with many trees and flowers along the roadside. In addition to this, several small pavilions were built.

An An and Shang Xiaoling and Yu Qing had lunch, and when they saw that there was no one in a gazebo, they walked in.

As soon as she sat down, Yu Qing began to complain: "This canteen is getting more and more limitless." When it comes to beef stew with potatoes, I have a piece of beef that is the size of a fingernail. ”

Shang Xiaoling only made an eggplant fried beans, so it was not easy to express her opinion when she complained.

An An also said: "Not only can you not see the meat, but the taste is also indescribable. Last time I went to Wenhuatang for dinner, the potato beef stew is not only meaty, but also tastes very good. ”

Kyoto female schools do not pay for food, and they pay for their own food when they go to the canteen. Unlike Mandarin Hall, students pay a fixed amount of food every month and then go to the canteen to eat as much as they want. Of course, as long as you don't waste as much as you want.

Yu Qing glanced at her and said, "You're not talking nonsense. The chefs in the Mandarin Hall canteen are all master-level, and the dishes they fry are not delicious. ”

An An sighed and said, "It's a pity that my grades are not good, and I can't get into Wenhuatang." ”

Yu Qing lowered her voice and said, "An An, as long as there is a way, you can enter." Sister Qingshu likes the eldest princess, and Lan Shanchang also values her, so she should be able to get you in if she thinks of a way. ”

Shang Xiaoling couldn't help pinching the corners of her clothes.

An An shook his head and said, "Don't, it's boring to go through the back door if you can't pass the test." And the one who went in through the back door was arranged in Class 6. The students in Class 6 are all wealthy women, and I don't have the ability to get along with them if my sister can get along with them. ”

"But my sister told me that if I really want to go to Wenhua Hall, I can go to it as an auditor after I graduate."

In this way, it can be regarded as the fulfillment of her dream.

Shang Xiaoling hesitated and asked, "An An, I heard that your sister didn't participate in the draft this time, why?" ”

Yu Qing glanced at her and said, "Why do you want to participate in the draft?" How can the high branches be so high? ”

It is a blessing to be referred to as a concubine, but it is also possible to be referred to as a concubine. The side concubine is not bad, and she has a hope of giving birth to a son and a half daughter. But if the emperor values the card, he must not be killed by the jade concubine.

An An said: "My sister's goal is to be the principal of Wenhuatang in the future, just like Mr. Lan. ”

Yu Qingle said happily: "Sister Qingshu's goal will definitely be achieved." Maybe Mr. Lan is cultivating Sister Qingshu as an heir! ”

At the end of school in the afternoon, the three of them walked out of the school gate together.

After Qing left, Shang Xiaoling said in a mosquito-like voice: "An An, I want to ask you for something." ”

An An nodded and said, "We said it in the carriage." ”

After getting into the carriage, Shang Xiaoling pinched the corner of her clothes and whispered, "An An, can you lend me two hundred taels of silver." ”

An An frowned when he heard this: "What do you want so much silver for?" ”

Two hundred taels of silver is not a small amount. Like their family, they spend a lot of money, and most of it is on clothes, jewelry, and stationery. But in addition to these personal contacts, the family's monthly expenses are actually within fifty taels of silver. Two hundred taels of silver, enough for them for more than three months.

Shang Xiaoling blushed and said, "My second brother said a family matter a few days ago, and he has already set a date for his next appointment. Who thinks that my third brother thinks that my mother's dowry is less than that of the eldest brother that day, so he made a fuss with my mother because of this, and made my mother angry. ”

"And then?"

Shang Xiaoling said with a bitter face: "My second brother said the day before yesterday that if my mother doesn't buy him the same dowry as his eldest brother, then he will go to the Qian family to be a son-in-law." ”

An An didn't think about it and said, "Then let him be the son-in-law." ”

Shang Xiaoling choked up and said, "If my second brother goes to be a door-to-door son-in-law, my father and mother will not be laughed at when they go out." An An, don't worry, after a while, when our family has more money, I will return the money to you. ”

An An asked, "Borrow money from me, do you mean it or your mother's meaning?" ”

Shang Xiaoling hung her head and said, "That's what I meant." My mother went to my uncle and aunt's house yesterday to borrow money, and only borrowed 50 taels of silver. ”

Hearing this, An An couldn't help asking, "How much did your mother spend on the dowry that your mother bought for your eldest brother?" ”

"Three hundred taels, and later it cost more than one hundred taels to marry. My eldest brother's marriage almost emptied the family. Speaking of this, Shang Xiaoling's eyes turned red: "All those silvers were saved from previous years." In the past few years, we have been spending more and more, and our family can't save money. ”

After hearing this, An An looked at Shang Xiaoling's expression a little complicated. borrowed two hundred taels of silver when she opened her mouth, and according to the situation of her family, who knew that Ma Yue would be able to repay it in the Year of the Monkey.

Of course, if Shang's mother is sick or other urgent needs, she will borrow the money even if she doesn't come back. can lend her second brother a dowry, An An is not happy.

But thinking of the friendship between the two people, An An couldn't refuse: "My family's money is in my sister's hands, and I can't take out such a large amount of two hundred taels of silver, so I have to go back and tell my sister." ”

Shang Xiaoling was stunned: "Aren't you a housekeeper?" Why can't you get two hundred taels of silver on hand? ”

An An felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this, but she still said: "I just help take care of some trivial things at home, and I don't care about the money." Furthermore, when I went to the account office to pay the silver, I had to get my sister's permission if it was more than twenty taels of silver. ”

"You, you have so much monthly money, don't you get the money?"

An An shook his head and said, "Twenty taels of monthly money seems like a lot, but I often eat out and buy things." Later, Yang Xiaobai added another expense, but he didn't save any money. ”

Shang Xiaoling said in a snort: "Then, will your sister lend me money?" ”

She didn't want to borrow it, let alone her sister: "I don't know, but I'll tell her well." ”

Shang Xiaoling took An An's hand and said, "An An, you must help me with this." ”

Before dinner, An An told Qingshu about it. After speaking, An An was indignant: "If he wants to be a son-in-law, then let him go, the Shang family is not the only son." ”

In terms of this virtue, it is also unreliable when you are old.

Qing Shu didn't express an opinion on this matter, but said: "This girl has a problem with her character, you should stay away from her in the future." ”

Hearing this, An An hurriedly said, "Sister, Xiaoling, she, she is very good." ”

Qing Shu shook his head and said, "His father is just a petty official like our father, and he is also in the Qingshui Yamen. A year's income is full, and the income is only three or four hundred taels. With such a large family's expenses, when do you think she will be able to repay you? I guess she didn't even think about paying it back. ”

"You borrowed it this time, and she will borrow money from you if she has any difficulties in the future."

An An shook her head and said, "Sister, Xiaoling, she is not such a person. ”

Qingshu smiled and said, "Okay, you will go to the account office to pay the monthly money for three months and lend it to her." ”

An An nodded.
