47 Ambition
In the neighborhood where Meilan lives, few children can go to school. She had seen children who could go to school, all of whom were from slightly wealthy families, such as the landlord's sons.
And the schools these children go to are just private schools in slightly better parts of the slums. The real elite schools are located in the wealthy area, perhaps in order to reflect the so-called "fairness and justice", and every year a few students with outstanding grades will be selected from private elementary schools or private schools in other neighborhoods to enter the middle school in the rich area, and if they can study well in the middle school, they can even be guaranteed to go to university or even study abroad in the future.
In this day and age, studying well is still a faint but flickering hope to get out of the inherent class.
In the slums, the children who can afford to go to school are superior to others, watching them carry schoolbags to school, Meilan also used to secretly use branches and folded boxes of paper to pretend to be her own stationery box, use the account book used at home as her own book, and play the "school" drama when other little girls played at home.
However, what it would be like to enter the school, she never imagined, and only from the braggings of those boys, she knew that the school was a place with many children, teachers, and a lot of fun and interesting things.
And that's all about girls.
The word "going to school" is a great childhood longing for Meilan.
Xiao Nan had already received the "school uniforms" for Meilan and Wanyue yesterday, that is, the student uniforms made by the school itself. Xiao Nan's vision is good, and the size of the collar clothes they wear fits very well.
Wanyue's school uniform is the kind of classical student uniform of the Republic of China, perhaps with reference to the style of foreign school uniforms that were popular at that time, and it has been improved to a certain extent, and it does not look so bloated.
Meilan's school uniform is similar to Wanyue's clothes, but she uses a pink top, two small braids, and two head flowers, which looks very cute.
She took the cloth bag that Wanyue gave her and kept taking pictures in front of the dressing mirror, but Wanyue was a little embarrassed and said: "I'm dressed like this, will anyone say anything on the road......"
"The people in Xiao City, especially those close to Xiao Mansion, should learn the most, and it is estimated that the most important thing is to keep their mouths shut." Xiao Nan said, "According to the rules of that school, you have to live in the school, but you can go home for three days and one day, when you come back, you will first go to the new residence I arranged for Ah Cheng to have a look and recognize the door." Of course, at other times, if you want to come back, you can also ask for leave to come back, just go back to the dormitory on time in the evening. ”
Xiao Nan is more satisfied with the fact that the girls' school lives in the school, so that Meilan and Wanyue can leave the Xiao Mansion preliminarily.
And the eldest man hates school, so he probably won't go to that kind of place.
"Young Master, do you really want to tell me to leave the Xiao Mansion?" Wanyue took advantage of Meilan and her brother's excitement to ask, and came to Xiao Nan and asked gently.
"No, I hope you have mastered the knowledge, so maybe you will help me leave the Xiao Mansion in the future." Xiao Nan said, "We have to escape alive together." ”
Wanyue nodded heavily: "I must ...... I want to achieve this wish with the young master! When I'm away, you have to take care of yourself, and you must let Ah Cheng tell me if there is anything! She squatted down and held Xiao Nan's hand.
"Don't worry. I can take care of myself. Xiao Nan said, "You shouldn't be tied to me, you should spread your wings and fly high, when you really understand the world......"
Then really choose, who is worthy of love, and what happiness is worth pursuing for a lifetime.
He didn't say the rest of the story.
But he knew that his disabled and precarious self should not be the shackles that trapped Wanyue.
"Someday...... Will leave here with the young master. Wanyue rested her head on his lap, her eyes flashing with longing for the future.
"Don't reveal your identity at school, and if someone really asks, say it's my cousin. Don't be looked down upon by others, and don't be too self-deductive. Xiao Nan touched her hair and said.
"I will be strong, strong and strong, like the women in those stories you told me, young master." Wanyue raised her head, her eyes were not the same as when she first saw her.
It is no longer the kind of miserable and muddy, resigned and desperate gaze, but mixed with some brilliance.
Maybe she can really escape the tragic fate and no longer become the last concubine of the eldest lord, but live freely and unrestrainedly, in this stormy era.
Xiao Nan had left two gold bars before, and just as Wanyue was about to get up and leave, he suddenly quietly stuffed a gold bar into Wanyue's hand.
"This is our ...... Building a foundation of hope for the future. He whispered, "Help me get out of the Xiao Mansion." ”
Wan Yue looked at Xiao Nan's eyes and nodded.
"Everything that happens in the Xiao Mansion, I will keep my mouth shut. I will work hard for our goals. When Wanyue said these words solemnly, Xiao Nan felt that she seemed to be a little different from before.
"Sister Wanyue! Master! I'm ready! Meilan, who had a backpack on her back, ran over and said happily.
"Wait a minute." Xiao Nan turned his wheelchair and came to the cabinet and took down a beautiful tin box with European and American cartoon children printed on it.
"This is left for you to go to the class and share it with the other children, so that you can make friends!" Xiao Nan said.
"The young master is really thoughtful, what is this?" Wan Yue asked.
"Butter cookies, we bought yesterday when we passed the dessert shop in Foreigner's Street." Xiao Nan said.
"Yes, yes, it's very expensive." Ah Cheng nodded and said, "Meilan, you are really blessed, the young master really loves you so much!" ”
"That's it! You have to study hard! If you have poor test scores, I will teach you a good lesson one by one! Xiao Nan suddenly said in a stern tone.
It turns out that after Meilan arrived in her classroom, this box of high-end cookies really had a great effect. After all, most of the children in the class really can't afford such high-end dim sum.
Finally sent Meilan and Wanyue away, Xiao Nan felt that the courtyard that had been lively for the past few days was suddenly empty.
It turns out that when I return to loneliness again, everything is still so grinding.
But the calm didn't last long, and the knock at the back door sounded again at dusk, signaling the appearance of another woman who had made him so anxious.
Of course, this woman will only make him upset.
She is Xiaoci.
When Xiao Ci came, Xiao Nan found that she had put on a very bright lipstick, and she had been carefully dressed, her hairstyle had even been changed, and several gemstone hairpins that seemed to be of great value were inserted. The whole person exudes a kind of powerful temperament.
Xiao Nan didn't wait for her to speak, and said, "It looks like something good happened to you." ”
"Thirteen young people, you are really sharp-eyed, hey, if you used to be so good-eyed, then I would be your woman." She pretended to regret it, but in fact, what she said was extremely explicit.
Xiao Nan watched her sit on her desk with ease, looking at herself condescendingly.
And the oil-paper umbrella she brought was placed on his desk at random, and the dripping water on the umbrella stained all the words he practiced - when he was bored, Xiao Nan practiced calligraphy to pass the time, so that he could better integrate into this era.
"Thanks to you." Xiao Ci said, "I followed the second young marshal into his private room the day before yesterday. ”
"Then he must like you very much." Xiao Nan said.
"You're probably calling me cheap in your heart, right? I don't care though, as long as I get what I want. The second young marshal really liked me, and he gave me this. Xiao Ci stretched out her hand, almost touching his chin, only to see that she had a pure gold gemstone ring on her thumb.
"He took it out of his hand and gave it to me." She laughed, "But a man has this kind of thing, if he thinks it's too easy, he will lose interest." In his eyes, I may just be a little maid who took the initiative to send me.
So I first have to raise my 'status' in his heart. So, I needed something special that he was interested in. ”
Xiao Nan frowned and said, "What the hell is that?" ”
"Of course, it's the big man's business. Thinking about it with its toes, I also know that for the Yao family, what they really want from the Xiao family is nothing more than ...... After the flowers, the garden, the secrets. ”
"You're so daring! Have you forgotten how the third young master died! Xiao Nan exclaimed. I didn't expect her little maid to really dare to think that she didn't dare to touch everything about the back garden!
"The third young master is stupid!" Xiao Ci said indifferently, "When I really knew the big and small things in the Xiao family, I realized that these nobles were really more stupid than the other, and each one was more timid than the other." ”
