Chapter 21 Ethnography

Half of the spring has passed, the greenery in the house is getting thicker, and the two sides of the bluestone path, the left and right sides of the verandah, are showing a vibrant scene.

After waking up every day, Ah Yu first used morning food in the courtyard, and then waited for her brother to take her to the clan school, and listened to a morning class with Wen Fu and others. Because there is only a half-day class in ethnology, lunch can be used in ethnology or at home. That being said, there are some rules that have been passed down for a long time, so several girls in the Wen Mansion eat in the clan study.

I heard that this rule was set by the patriarch many years ago, in order to take care of some people in the clan who are poor, and if they can eat one more meal outside, they can save an extra amount of money for the family. For the sake of personal face, the patriarch said that anyone who came to study in the clan should have a meal in the clan study.

After eating, it's time for each of them to go home.

Wen Huan studied at the academy outside the city, and he could not leave the academy until dusk every day, and although he could send Ah Yu to the clan school every morning, he could not take anyone home.

Often at this time, Ah Yu went back with Wen Fu and others.

A few days after a similar trip, Ah Yu felt that it was a sweet burden to have a brother to send him off.

Ah Yu actually didn't care much about this, since she woke up from the dream, she always felt that she was already an adult, always thinking that she could be alone, but she couldn't bear to refute the arrangement of her parents and brothers, so she had to continue to follow the pace of her previous life.

In addition to being happy, there was a little more dissatisfaction with being underestimated.

Just then, she heard Winves' complaints again.

Wen Fu has always been uneuphemistic when she speaks in front of her, and her flower-like face is gloomy, but it can't be said to be good-looking: "You are really troublesome, you don't go with us every morning, and when you go back at noon, you come to rub our car, now there is really no problem, but in a few days Xi Rou will also go to the clan school with us to study, and we will have no vacancy for you at that time." I've told you in advance at this time, so you can prepare for yourself! ”

Rao is Ah Yu because of the things in the dream, he has a lot of good feelings for Wen Fu, and he can't resist Wen Fu's mouth.

Just listening to her say a long list, but putting so many words together, how can it sound so unpleasant!

Ah Yu didn't expect Xi Rou to go to the clan study with them.

After all, the clan study is just a small school opened by the Wen family for their own people, and the gentlemen in it are all Wen Chinese, and there are few people with foreign surnames among the students, and even if there are, it is because their mother is Wen Chinese. I haven't heard that there will be people with foreign surnames next to them who will enter the Wen clan study.

It's just that Ah Yu also knows that Wen Fu has always been a person who has one thing to say, she said that Xi Rou will enter the clan study, and there is a chance that it is true, not to mention that she doesn't need to tell lies to coax Ah Yu.

Ah Yu still doesn't like Xi Rou.

When she didn't like a person when she was a child, she would definitely show it obviously, but whenever that person appeared in her sight, it could make her dissatisfied, and she had to drive people away to make her calm down. Now that she is getting older, Ah Yu feels that she will not be as willful as when she was a child, and she will not do anything to drive people away, but she will not deliberately be false and wronged with others, just do it without knowing each other.

In this way, she spared not only others, but also herself.

So Ah Yu waited for Wen Huan's next Mu Xiu, and took advantage of his free time to have a detailed conversation.

It was a good time in the spring, and Ah Yu sat in the west wing, the sun shining through the half-hidden window lattice, shining on the mahogany bench in the room. Ah Yu held a book in her hand, it was Wen Huan who found it for her, she only turned a page for a long time, and the words she saw in her eyes didn't go to her heart at all. The popular words on the market, written are the stories of some talented and beautiful women, the down-and-out scholar got the help of the beautiful woman, and became famous in one fell swoop, he should have married the beauty, who would have thought that he was favored by the nobleman again, the nobleman had to marry his daughter to him, after all kinds of twists and turns, the scholar will be able to enjoy the blessings of the people.

I don't know what others think.

She only knew that she hated the scholar very much, and the protagonist in the book was so unpleasant in her opinion, so the book was naturally not interesting.

As soon as Wen Huan entered the door, he saw Ah Yu's bored appearance, so he asked, "I've finished reading the script again, but I want to buy some new ones." ”

Hearing Wen Huan's voice, Ah Yu handed the script to Aoba behind him, sighed, and said, "These scripts are all the same inside, and I don't like to read these now." ”

Wen Huan thought about it carefully, he was not very interested in the dialogue book, and he was not good at making any comments on it, so he said: "Why don't I bring you some travelogues next time, I think the travelogues written by those literati Jacques are much better than the scripts." ”

Ah Shen actually doesn't like travelogues either.

As a boudoir woman, the farthest place she has ever been to is Xiaoqingshan outside the city, and no matter how well the travelogues of others are written, they are all things she can't imagine.

"It's just that I want to pass the time, so I don't have to take it too seriously." Ah Yu smiled and quickly became serious again, "I came to Brother today because I actually have something important to discuss with Brother A." ”

What can be important to a child's family?

Wen Huan suddenly thought of a sentence that his friend Xie Huaining often put on his lips, he always said that his younger brother likes to have nothing to do the most, and he puts on a 'I have important things to say' all day long, and when people ask him, he doesn't say anything, which is simply unreasonable.

Compared with Xie Huaining, Wen Huan felt that he could really be called a peerless good brother, but whatever Ah Yu said, he would regard it as the most important thing.

That's what a good brother should do.

It's not that Xie Huaining dislikes his younger brother all the time, and he is embarrassed to say that he is a good brother.

"What does my brother want me to do, just say it." Wen Huan took the cup handed over by Yahuan, took a sip of tea, and had a posture of what Ah Huan said, and he would do something.

Ah Yu frowned slightly, she was a little upset.

"I heard that Xi Rou is also going to study in the clan school," Ah Yu paused for a moment, and then said, "Although I can't say why, I really don't want to go with her." ”

Wen Huan knew the news, and when he heard Ah Yu say it again, he was not surprised.

He thought for a moment and said, "Then it's better that I send you off in the morning, and leave the carriage for you to use in the clan school, and I will ride a horse to the academy instead!" The requirements for riding in the academy are quite high, and I just happened to be able to practice riding by the way. ”

Ah Yu glanced at his brother, then shook his head.

She said: "Brother, I don't even want to go on the same road with her, let alone read and write under the same roof. ”

Wen Huan was shocked: "You don't even want to go to the clan study, so how can you do it?" ”
