But no one cares whether she can accept it, everyone only thinks that the weeping begonia painted by Jiang Xuehe is a rare masterpiece, and they all gather around to appreciate it.

Du Jiao'e painted begonias and begonias, just because she went to Gu's house on the day of Gu Sixian and Lu and saw a lot of begonia flowers, she thought that Gu Siyan liked begonias, and then she went home and painted several begonias. It's just that she is so temporary, no matter how she is, she can't compare to Jiang Xuehe, who has been painting all kinds of flowers since she was a child.

Liao Rulan didn't expect Du Jiao'e to lose so completely, and felt that Du Jiao'e was useless, and at the same time began to be vigilant against Jiang Xiyue. Jiang Xuehe is obviously proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the famous talented girl in their village is Jiang Xiyue, so isn't this Jiang Xiyue's talent even better than she imagined?

At this moment, Liao Rulan can understand Du Jiao'e's mood very well. Both of them are daughters of a wealthy family, and their fathers are both famous masters in school, so they have been trained as talented women since they were young, and they can't accept the fact that they lost to a peasant girl no matter what.

"Whether it's a painting, a word, or a poem, I think it should be framed and hung directly in the lady's building, so that everyone can see it, this Mrs. Gu is also a talented woman." Jiang Xiyue held the painting and smiled.

Shi Jiuniang also said: "I think the same way, I only knew that Mrs. Gu was very good at business, but I didn't expect her to have this hand, and she hid it really deeply." ”

"Isn't that? I see, the more visible the mountain is on weekdays, the greater the ability. ”

Jiang Xuehe was embarrassed by several of them: "Don't say that, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are just used to cultivate sentiment, and I don't rely on this to eat, how can I show off on my lips every day." ”

Everyone couldn't help but glance at Du Jiao'e when they heard this, isn't this one just on his lips every day? In all fairness, Du Jiao'e is not a talented girl at all, but as Du Fuzi's daughter, she can read more books on weekdays than ordinary girls, so her talent is naturally more prominent. But compared to a real talented woman, it's nothing. However, Du Jiao'e never realized this.

"Don't be complacent! I'm going to get it back one day! Du Jiao'e shouted angrily.

In fact, he didn't deliberately humiliate her, but at this moment, for Du Jiao'e, every praise that others gave to Jiang Xuehe was sarcastic about her, and others were insulting her by looking at her like this.

Jiang Xuehe said coldly: "Miss Du, can you tell me, who insulted the girl today?" ”

"You-"

"Girl, mean I insulted you? Who was the person who ran to the lady's house to insult me that day? Who is the person who has to pull me to try piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs? Jiang Xuehe raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I remember that Miss Du said at that time that a person like me, who was dressed in copper and had no literary style, was not worthy of staying with her husband at all, and she should invite herself to the court." Now that Miss Du is not as good as me, an untalented person, shouldn't she stay away from my husband? ”

Jiang Xuehe has a good temper on weekdays, but she understands that where she shouldn't let in, she must not give up an inch of land. She used to read that Du Fuzi had taught Gu Siyan that the relationship didn't want to be too stiff, but since Du Jiao'e didn't save face for her at the beginning, then she didn't need to save face for Du Jiao'e now.

"Don't be complacent, I'm ......"

"What do I have to be proud of? provoked a shameless woman, and asked me to invite myself to the court three times and twice, saying that I was not worthy of my husband everywhere. But she is not even as good as me, so she wants me to give way to her? Is she more rich than me, or is she better than me? Jiang Xuehe sneered.

Everyone thought it was true, in the past, Du Jiao'e always said that Jiang Xuehe was useless except for a few stinky money, although no one could live without money, but for a talented person, everyone always felt that a talented woman was more compatible with him. But if Du Jiao'e is not even as good as Jiang Xuehe in terms of talent and learning, what face does she have to shout in front of Jiang Xuehe?

Du Jiao'e couldn't tell them, so she ran back to Du's house crying. She didn't know what else she could attack Jiang Xuehe? Origin? Her background is much stronger than Jiang Xuehe, but she lost all her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to Jiang Xuehe, and if she attacked her background, she would feel shameless. But should she give up like this?

Du Jiao'e was unwilling to give up, so she cried and begged Du Fuzi to call the shots. Du Fuzi hated it when he heard this, but what could he do?

"That kid has climbed Mr. Akiyama now, if I continue to oppose him, I will inevitably be suspected of communiqué personal vendetta, and I will not be able to settle down at that time." Du Fuzi gritted his teeth.

Du Jiao'e was puzzled: "Who is Mr. Akiyama?" I've never heard of this name, is he better than Daddy? ”

"What is your father? It's just one of the many masters in the Hanshan Academy, and there are no less than ten people in the academy who need my courtesy. And this Akiyama layman, even our dean has to give three points of politeness when he sees him. ”

Only then did Du Jiao'e know that her affair with Gu Siyan was completely impossible, and no matter what way she started, she had no chance of winning. Even if she had a bad heart and wanted Jiang Xuehe to die, could it be that Gu Siyan was willing to marry her if Jiang Xuehe died? It's not that she doesn't know how indifferent Gu Siyan is when she faces her, so she provokes Jiang Xuehe everywhere, wanting to prove that she is better than Jiang Xuehe. But it turned out that she was not as good as Jiang Xuehe at all.

Du Fuzi looked at Du Jiao'e and was also helpless: "Now that you are famous in Fucheng, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find another good husband." In the next few days, you can pack up and go to your grandfather's house in Jiangzhou to live temporarily, and then let your grandmother find you a family over there. ”

Du Jiao'e's grandfather's family is also a scholarly family, and there are several teaching gentlemen, which are not much worse than what Du Fuzi can find her, so Du Jiao'e nodded and accepted her fate.

As soon as Du Jiao'e accepted her fate, Jiang Xuehe's ears became much quieter, and the city began to praise her name as a talented woman, saying that she and Gu Siyan were a natural pair of talented women. Jiang Xuehe didn't have any smug thoughts when she heard this, but after she became famous, some things were more convenient to do.

Originally, there was only one gentleman on the women's side, but Jiang Xiyue also had to teach Jiang Yuxuan, so most of the time it was the literate girl from the Yang Family Dart Bureau who went to help, and recently there was even Gu Dandan to help take care of it.

Now some people come because of her admiration and volunteer to be the master of the female school. Interestingly, several of these female gentlemen are at home like Jiang Xiyue.

Although they are talented and learned, their family background is also good, and their parents are willing to support them when they are at home, but when they are sisters-in-law or younger daughters-in-law, they will inevitably have opinions, and they often have disputes with them at home. Therefore, they simply followed Jiang Xiyue's example and went to Jiang Xuehe. Seeing that it was not easy for them, Jiang Xuehe rented a few courtyards near Gu's house for them to live temporarily, and asked people to build two large courtyards near the orphanage, one for the male master to live in, and the other for the female master to live in.

"What we suddenly defected to made Mrs. Gu break the bank." A woman named Su Yishuang laughed.

Su Yishuang's aunt Su Ziqing, who has been away from home for many years, originally had a good impression of the Gu family, but this time she also heard the news. She originally thought that it would be good for Jiang Xuehe to be able to eat and live, but she didn't expect Jiang Xuehe to build a courtyard specifically for them.

Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "This was originally my negligence, there were few female gentlemen at that time, and the residence was also casual." But you can't get used to that kind of environment, so you still have to make it better. ”

Su Yishuang smiled: "You are so easy to talk to? So can I grow hibiscus in my yard? ”

Jiang Xuehe was a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid that I can't guarantee that every yard will have a yard." ”

Jiang Xuehe said and took out a drawing, on which a courtyard with two entrances and two exits was drawn: "I think so, this yard will be planted with flowers and trees all year round, all mixed together, so that the courtyard can enjoy the scenery in all seasons." Every day, you can see it by opening the door, and there is no need to separate the yard. ”

Su Yishuang was originally joking with her, and she didn't have a yard for her at home. However, she was very pleasantly surprised when she saw the drawings, if it was really as drawn on the drawings, then she would live in the girls' school better than at home.

In order to allow the masters of the female school to live on the edge of the academy as soon as possible, Jiang Xuehe added manpower to let them build the place as soon as possible. When the yard was almost completed, the township test was about to begin.

Gu Siyan finally went down the mountain five days before the township test, and he occasionally went down the mountain in the past few months, basically coming back to see her in the afternoon, and then he had to hurry back before it was dark. Now that he can finally live at home for a few days, Gu Siyan hugged Jiang Xuehe as soon as he went home.

Jiang Xuehe also missed him too, but still pushed him away at the right time.

"Although you need to relax appropriately before the township test, you can't be too lax." Jiang Xuehe persuaded softly.

Gu Siyan smiled: "Don't worry, I have it all in my heart." ”

Gu Siyan was almost ready for everything he should have prepared, and he was completely sure of this township test, so he relaxed a little. And Gu Sixing didn't have that much grasp, he had been studying books for the past few days, and he had never slackened.

On the day of the township test, Jiang Xuehe personally sent the two brothers outside the examination room, and Jiang Xuehe prepared the food for the two brothers. Because these two of them can't cook, and all they can do now is to throw the noodles into the pot and stew them, so Jiang Xuehe prepared some dry food and noodles for them, as well as pickles with sauce, so that the two brothers could cook the noodles and eat them together. In addition to eating, Jiang Xuehe also specially found someone to match the flower tea and fruit tea, which can make them eliminate fatigue and calm their minds.

Afraid that the two brothers would be assigned a stinky number, Jiang Xuehe also prepared a jar of mint leaves for them to smell twice when they were uncomfortable. The mint leaves she had soaked in qionglu, and the cool taste was several times heavier than ordinary mint leaves.

Although the brothers were lucky not to get a stinky name, they felt tired or hot, and a sip of mint was enough to refresh their minds.
