Chapter Twenty-Three: Boudoir Studies
However, on the notice for recruiting students, it was clearly written that the requirements were only men.
Qin Wan turned his head, looked at the coachman, and said, "You go and help me get an exam paper, I'll take a look." ”
The coachman answered, walked through the crowd and took one back and handed it to Qin Wan.
Qin Wan took a general look, then put away the exam papers, then got into the carriage and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qin Zhaoyue was already waiting for her news in Bihe Courtyard.
Seeing Qin Wan coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" ”
Qin Wan shook his head: "He seems to know this situation, so it's not ideal." ”
Qin Zhaoyue didn't expect this result, and was a little disappointed.
Qin Wan thought for a while, and then said, "Eldest sister, do you want to persuade the county lord again, Liu Zichu...... I don't think it's reliable. ”
Qin Zhaoyue was a little melancholy, "But Qinghe ...... her"
She also felt that Liu Feng was not very reliable, even if the relationship between husband and wife was not there, he didn't have to announce his guilt and divorce his wife in front of everyone in Yanjing City, not to mention that he didn't hide his wife for a month.
However, the bystanders were fascinated by the Qing authorities, and what she saw could not be seen by the county lord of Qinghe.
No one knows the county lord of Qinghe better than her, and today's temptation is revealed, I am afraid that the county lord of Qinghe will be even more desperate to be with him.
Qin Wan lowered his head and sighed, in the love stage, all the words that do not go well feel harsh, and those who really care will also be regarded as stumbling blocks.
After chatting for a while, Qin Zhaoyue left.
After dinner, Qin Wanfang took out the exam paper and spread it on the table to look at it carefully.
The questions on the exam paper are not difficult, in addition to arithmetic, they are the solution to some basic problems encountered in the shopping mall.
Qin Wan lifted the brush and answered them one by one.
Su Xiang was grinding on the side, originally just thinking that Qin Wan was answering the Lin family's exam papers on a whim, but seeing that Qin Wan folded the exam papers after answering, and asked her to find someone to hand them over to the Lin family tomorrow, Su Xiang was stunned and exclaimed: "Second Miss won't want to enter the Lin family's school, right?" ”
"Shh Qin Wan made a silent gesture towards her, there were Mama Zhang and the two little girls outside, they were all from the Rong family, and it was not trivial to enter the Lin Family Academy, the less people would know, the better.
Su Xiang understood what she meant, walked over and closed the doors and windows, and then persuaded in a low voice: "After the fifteenth day tomorrow, it is time for the boudoir to open, listen to Mama Jiang's meaning, the old lady intends to let the second lady go to the boudoir to study." ”
Qin Bang said: "What I have learned, in addition to the Book of Poetry, the Analects, the Four Books and the Five Classics, the Women's Three Virtues and the Four Virtues, that is, the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, I am not very interested." ”
Su Xiang was silent, from the first time she saw Qin Wan, she felt that she was different from the rest of the young ladies in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was a woman, but she could always vaguely see the wisdom in her eyes.
In the matter of Guanghua Temple, she can turn the situation around as steadily as Mount Tai, and she has won the praise of King Yan at the palace banquet, so she firmly believes in what she thinks.
However, she is an official eunuch, and she doesn't want to marry into the family after learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but wants to do business.
It also surprised Su Xiang, and she wanted to persuade again, but Qin Wan had already yawned, walked straight to the bedside and dragged off her coat.
It seems that there is no room for further negotiation.
Su Xiang didn't speak anymore and put away the exam papers.
On the second day of the fifteenth Lantern Festival, everyone in the Xiangfu ate glutinous rice balls together, since participating in a palace banquet, there are also reasons for Qin Zhaoyue and Mrs. Qin's care, Qin Wan's life in the Xiangfu is also much better.
After eating, Rong's talked about his boudoir study, Mr. Liu will enter the Prime Minister's Mansion to teach the piano, Mr. Liu's piano skills are among the best in Yanjing City, and it is not easy to invite her to take a lesson, so Rong's asked a few ladies to prepare well.
After the instructions, Rong looked at Qin Wan and said, "Bang'er, you can also go and learn together." ”
The Lin family's move will take half a month, and all the exam papers will be read together after they are submitted, and it will be half a month after the news comes down.
Qin Wan nodded in response: "Yes." ”
Although the time for the start of the boudoir school is in the middle of the year, in order to respect the teacher, they will enter the hall half an hour in advance.
The school is located in the southeast corner of the Xiangfu Liuying Water Pavilion, through the rockery in the backyard of the Xiangfu, through a garden, and then over an arch bridge, at the end of the cobblestone paved path, the plaque hanging on the courtyard near the water, the words "Liuying Water Pavilion" come into view.
The water pavilion is very quiet, the four seasons evergreen trees are planted before and after, the artificial rockery on the side, there is a water flow from the stone cracks, the sound of the water is quiet and continuous, so that the listening suddenly feels like being in nature, relaxed and happy.
Qin Wan went in with Qin Zhaoyue, and there were already four or five girls sitting in the school, in addition to Qin Susu, Qin Yi'an and Qin Luo, the two girls from Qin Xian's family were also there.
Qin Xian's family also set up a boudoir school, and when he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to listen to the lessons, he only listened to Mr. Liu's piano lessons.
Qin Susu was sitting in the first row by the window and turned around to talk to Qin Yi'an, today she was wearing an apricot-colored embroidered cherry jacket skirt, the three thousand black hair was tied with the latest fashionable flowing cloud bun, and the velvet flowers inserted with tassels fell from the hair to the ears, delicate and cute.
Seeing Qin Wan and Qin Zhaoyue coming in together, she immediately glared at Qin Wan unhappily.
Almost everyone present knew that Qin Susu was beaten by Qin Wan at the palace banquet and suffered a loss, so when he saw that Qin Susu looked like he was going to eat Qin Wan, he didn't speak.
Qin Susu has always been pampered, and when it comes to her, if she can shut up, she will shut up.
Qin Zhaoyue landed on Qin Wan and sat down in the middle of the first row, and then let Qin Wan sit behind him.
The piano had already been placed in the position, Qin Wan sat down calmly, and raised his eyes to face Qin Susu with a look that was about to eat her.
Qin Wan smiled at her, at this time, Qin Wan's smile was simply provocative in Qin Susu's eyes, the anger in her eyes increased suddenly, and her originally pretty face suddenly became a little more hideous.
Qin Wan, a beggar, dared to humiliate himself again and again, he knew that there would be such a time, he should not have found someone to save her when he pushed her into the water, and let her drown.
No! It should be after the disappearance, it is better to die outside.
At the palace banquet, she made her lose such a big person, and now that the ladies of the Yanjing City family are watching her jokes, she will definitely not let her go so easily!
Just as he was thinking about it, a man in a pale gray robe, about one or twenty years old, with light eyebrows and starry eyes, and a breeze of literati elegance all over his body, walked into the hall unhurriedly, followed by a small servant holding a piano in his arms.
Seeing him come in, the girls all stood up and saluted, saying, "Mr. Liu, morning." ”
This person is the gentleman who teaches the piano, Liu Shaoqin, the word is like Jing.
Liu Shaoqin's eyes swept around the hall, and the little servant had already placed the piano, he sat cross-legged and lowered his head to adjust the strings.
There was silence in the school, and every young lady respected Liu Shaoqin very much.
