Jia Liang really couldn't understand what was said in this letter, this was old-fashioned English, and all he knew was a few daily greetings, and at this time, a series of tadpole texts were delivered to him, and his eyes were dazzled.

"Ahem...... What that! Jia Liang stretched out his hand and put the letter pestle in front of Xing Shuang, who was still wiping his tears: "Don't cry patronically, read it to my lord." ”

Xing Shuang glanced at her husband angrily, and the illiterate gave her a lot of reasons, so she took the letter and translated it.

Originally from March, Jia Lian and others had a smooth journey. When I arrived in England without any danger, I was picked up by a servant from the Norton family as soon as I got off the ship.

Viscount Norton had already given Jia Lian a house in Cambridge Town, and the family had gone to India because of their master, and they were trying to rent out the house at this time. The house has all kinds of furniture, and there is also a maid and housekeeper who stay at home to use.

There is also a carriage at home, which is convenient for Jia Lian to go to school on weekdays. As for the lack of a coachman, Viscount Norton also arranged his own coachman to Jia Lian's residence in advance.

Jia Lian's child is also angry, and he didn't cause much trouble to people. Seeing that Viscount Norton had given himself such a proper order, he immediately sent ten pieces of Suzhou embroidery, which is a sky-high price in the West, and a set of fine official kiln porcelain. Viscount Norton opened an account in a local bank, deposited the gold he had brought, and exchanged it for local currency.

Cambridge is actually a small town in England that was founded by a group of people who had escaped from Oxford University in order to escape the vices of fighting and set up a new college in order to create a quiet environment.

It was because the style of learning in Cambridge was also different from the general trend at that time. It is mainly peaceful and quiet, and because of the construction of many colleges, laboratories, libraries and other buildings, it is full of strong academic style.

The biggest feature of Cambridge Town is that in addition to these academic buildings, there are also many churches. This town may seem small, but in fact it is more than just one of London. Because of the presence of denominational personnel, the security environment and living environment are one level higher than that of other places.

In addition, Cambridge is 50 kilometers away from London, which is not affected by London's industrial pollution, but has pleasant air and beautiful scenery, which is very suitable for living.

The emperors of England also attached great importance to cultivating talents, so although Cambridge is a small place, it is full of sparrows and all kinds of public facilities. The police, the medical, the public services and everything else are better here than elsewhere.

After Jia Lian settled down, he handed over the admission application to the local Peter College, and scheduled to take the entrance exam at the end of August before the start of the new semester.

When this letter was written, it was already when Jia Lian had finished taking the exam, and the content of the exam was unexpectedly simple, just some ordinary math and general knowledge questions, and there was an interview to ask some basic questions. After hearing that Jia Lian was an Oriental nobleman, the academy immediately approved his application, and even asked him if he wanted a free dormitory.

At that time in Cambridge, dormitories were very valuable, and free dormitories were generally only provided to children of aristocratic families or scholars with high knowledge and prestige. Jia Lian fortunately didn't accept it, and politely refused on the grounds that he had already arranged a place to live. The principal's impression of him was much better.

And Wang Xifeng, unexpectedly, applied to the local women's college and successfully enrolled.

Reading this, the spring exploration and spring all showed envious expressions, and Jia Yun also looked yearning.

"My sister-in-law actually went to school, which really makes us women angry." Tanchun couldn't help but say: "I don't know if we have this blessing, if we can go out to see and see in the future, how good it would be?" ”

Xing Shuang looked at her daughter distressedly, pulled her over, stroked her back, and comforted her softly: "Don't wait for you to get married, as long as you want to learn, when you are fourteen or fifteen years old, my mother will also send you out to see and understand." It's just that you can't go alone, and someone must accompany you. ”

Yingchun's eyes were red, and his heart was a little sour. You must know that going out to study costs money like running water. In order to hide from the ancestors, my mother worked hard to do it, and she had seen it when she came to learn housekeeping on weekdays.

I also have the desire to go out to see, but she has never been from her mother. Thinking about such a cost-effective thing, it won't be her turn.

Xing Shuang seemed to have seen through her daughter's thoughts, and said to Yingchun at this time: "You too, if you want to learn, just ask." Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, as long as there is a heart to strive for progress, it is the best. I don't have much skills, and I don't read much. I just hope that you all have a chance, and I can rest assured in this life. ”

Yingchun couldn't hold back anymore, and finally shed tears, she came over and grabbed her mother's other hand, and her sister and sister looked at their mother with admiration, and they knelt down together for a while, knelt down on their mother's knees, and sobbed softly.

In order to ease the atmosphere in the room, Jia Yun said with a smile: "Aunts shouldn't be like this during the New Year." The letter from the second uncle is a good thing, and the aunts should be happy.

"And I heard that the English merchant who brought the letter said that there was an Oriental nobleman in Cambridge who was very famous, and that he was very humble and courteous, and fair and generous, and that many scholars loved to associate with him. I think there is no one else here except the second uncle.

"Since the second uncle can leave a good reputation there, the aunts will have a lot more success if they want to go in the future. With the reputation of the second uncle there, it is much easier for the aunts to walk. ”

Xing Shuang hurriedly asked him, "Is that really the case?" What else have you heard? ”

Jia Yun said with a smile: "My neighbor can't remember too much, but since the caravan is still in Jiaodong, it's better for me to go to Jiaodong after the third year of junior high school and pick up someone." My aunt's mother inquired about herself, so she was relieved. ”

When the two sisters heard this, they were overjoyed, and they hurriedly stood up and asked repeatedly, Jia Yun patiently answered their questions, and as they answered, they heard the sound of firecrackers outside.

The bell rang in the hall, and it was twelve o'clock in the night. Xing Shuang didn't care about asking her son anymore, so she called Jin Chuan out of the room and gave an order.

"The dumplings made today should be sent, and then I went to Qingyou Courtyard and invited Miss Lin over."

As soon as the words fell, Daiyu was already at the door and said, "Auntie, I'm here." ”

Xing Shuang saw that she was wearing the white fox big hat she was wearing, accompanied by the white plum sticker on her temples, which was particularly delicate and moving, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really getting more and more watery, go inside to warm up, get the dumplings in a while, and then go back with your sister to rest after eating." ”

Daiyu has long been accustomed to her aunt having to praise her every time she sees her, and she is not ashamed at this time, Qingwen walked in front of her to open the curtain for her, she looked inside and smiled: "Today is very diligent, I am the latest to come." ”
