With an extraordinarily determined look on her slightly rounded face, she stood firmly in front of Mingyue, leaning over slightly and bowing her head, her figure standing still.

The corners of Mingyue's mouth were lightly raised, and her voice was a little gentle, and she said: "In this case, I won't say more, I will always rest assured that you do things." ”

"The slave and maid must do their best to live up to the girl's expectations."

The master and servant looked at each other and smiled.

On the second day, Mingyue said goodbye to the old lady and her mother as usual, and then withdrew from the main courtyard.

On the hand-copying verandah with wood carvings and embosses, Jiang Mingzhu, the third girl of the Jiang family, and Jiang Mingxue, the fifth girl, were about to say goodbye to the eldest sister, but they were stopped by Mingyue:

"Third sister, fifth sister, please wait."

Jiang Mingzhu and Jiang Mingxue were stunned at the same time, looking at the smiling eldest sister on the side.

"I wonder if the two sisters are free today?"

Jiang Mingzhu pursed her lips and was silent, her eyes hesitant.

The eldest sister never talks to them on weekdays, except for the necessary mutual salutes between sisters, and suddenly stops them today, there must be something, but what will the eldest sister do to find them?

Jiang Mingxue on the side hesitated for a moment and replied softly: "Mingxue has nothing to do today, what does the eldest sister have to order?" ”

Mingyue glanced at Jiang Mingzhu, who was speechless, and the smile on her face did not decrease: "It's okay, it's just that I suddenly remembered that our sisters haven't been together for a long time, if the two of you have time, why don't you come to my Bihe Courtyard to get together?" ”

Jiang Mingxue was surprised in her heart, although she was a little uneasy, she didn't dare to brush off the eldest sister's intentions, so she had to bow her head and sneer: "What the eldest sister said is extremely true." ”

Jiang Mingxue was cautious and didn't dare to offend people easily, but Jiang Mingzhu had some temperament, especially for this eldest sister who had never been willing to deal with them on weekdays.

In the past, Mingyue never waited to see the two sisters, and her attitude towards them was very cold, but Jiang Mingzhu was not so uneasy in the face of the eldest sister's dislike because of Jiang Chengyu's mother-the two were both from Aunt Fang, and after having her own brother, she felt more confident than her fifth sister Jiang Mingxue, and she was not so uneasy in the face of the dislike of the eldest sister.

At this time, she looked directly at Mingyue, and her tone was slightly cold: "If the eldest sister has something, she might as well say it clearly." ”

This is not polite, with Mingyue's previous temperament, if she heard this, she would definitely not say more to Jiang Mingzhu.

But Mingyue didn't seem to be affected by it at all, and still maintained a decent smile: "Since the third sister asked like this, I'll say it directly." Actually, it's about resetting the boudoir school, and I'd like to discuss it with my two younger sisters. ”

It turned out to be this thing.

Jiang Mingxue breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Mingzhu also let down the guard in his heart, and replaced it with a clear face.

Compared with ordinary families, Jiangfu is more enlightened about the upbringing of young ladies.

The former housewife was influenced by the old man Jiang, that is, Jiang Shoufu, and when she opened the boudoir school, she did not ask all the young ladies to study "Female Rules", "Female Rings", piano, chess, calligraphy and painting all day long, as in other major families, but referred more to the opinions of the young ladies and set up courses according to the preferences of the young ladies in Fuzhong, aiming to give full play to their strengths.

Mingyue is obsessed with poetry and books, but this time, Mrs. Jiang, the mother of the Jiang family, saw that she was reading, she ignored everything, and almost forgot to sleep and eat, worried that she would hurt her body by reading for a long time, so she limited her time to study poetry and books.

As soon as Jiang Mingzhu and Jiang Mingyue heard this, they subconsciously thought that the eldest sister wanted to get together with them this time, and she wanted them to help persuade Mrs. Jiang to increase the study time of the poetry course.

Although I don't think that I and the others will have any convincing power in front of my mother-in-law, the eldest sister is rarely invited, and she still has to give face.

So, Jiang Mingzhu tugged at the corners of her mouth, maintained the politeness on her face, and said, "What the eldest sister said is true." ”

Mingyue smiled slightly: "Two sisters, please come with me." ”

With that, she walked forward first.

The three of them and a few accompanying maids walked to the Bihe Courtyard together, because a little girl had already come to report the news, and when the three sisters sat down at the table, Mo Dye had prepared tea and snacks.

Mingyue picked up a piece of pastry in the dim sum plate, and introduced it to Jiang Mingzhu and Jiang Mingxue with a smile: "Third sister, fifth sister, this is a cloud cake made by Duan Yan himself, made of glutinous rice flour, with a rich fragrance, and sweet but not greasy, the most moist and soft, you can taste it." ”

Jiang Mingzhu frowned and glanced at Mingyue, the eldest sister has always been cold and lonely, when did she become so polite and thoughtful?

Even if she asked for them, with her temperament, she would not bow her head like this, let alone bow to their two concubines.

Knowing that there was a difference, Jiang Mingzhu only didn't move, picked up a piece of cloud cake, and touched his lips shallowly.

Jiang Mingxue on the side also had this doubt, but she understood that she was just a concubine, or the most inconspicuous one, and there was nothing worth planning for the eldest sister.

She also picked up a piece of cloud cake, took a small sip, and then smiled shyly at Mingyue: "What the eldest sister said is right, this cloud cake is really delicious." ”

Mingyue's smile deepened, and she looked at Jiang Mingxue gently: "If you like it, eat more, and bring some back when you leave." ”

Jiang Mingxue couldn't help but rejoice in her heart when she saw such an approachable eldest sister for the first time, she pinched a piece of cloud cake with both hands, her face was flushed, and she whispered like a rabbit: "Thank you, eldest sister." ”

Mingyue gestured to the ink dye on the side, and the ink dye nodded to show that he understood, and Mingyue continued to look at Jiang Mingxue.

This fifth sister is her mother's dowry maid - Aunt Xiang, Aunt Xiang is honest and loyal to her mother, when her mother was pregnant with her, her body was inconvenient, so she gave Aunt Xiang who was still a maid to Jiang Yuandao, and became Jiang Yuandao's room, and later, because she gave birth to Jiang Mingxue because of pregnancy, her mother was in charge and was promoted to aunt.

In this life, Aunt Xiang only has Jiang Mingxue's daughter.

Jiang Mingxue was raised by Aunt Xiang herself, and developed a timid and cowardly character, but fortunately, she also inherited Aunt Xiang's loyal and kind character.

It's just that, as the concubines of the Jiang family, although their mother has never treated them harshly, they are not much close, and their father treats them only ordinarily, Jiang Mingzhu and Jiang Mingxue live in the inner house of the Jiang Mansion, like transparent people.

However, when the Jiang family's catastrophe was approaching, they were not spared......

Thinking of this, Mingyue's heart was complicated.

After Jiang Mingxue finished eating a piece of cloud cake, Mingyue finally began to talk about business.

"I'm going to propose to my mother to reopen my school, two sisters, I wonder what you want to learn?"

Jiang Mingzhu stared at him, as if he was thinking.

Jiang Mingxue looked at Mingyue cautiously and said in a low voice: "Books - calligraphy and painting." ”

The eldest sister should want her to say calligraphy and painting, right?

Jiang Mingyue smiled: "Just tell the truth, don't take care of me, my course has already been thought of." ”

Jiang Mingzhu glanced at her suspiciously, but did not say anything questioning after all.
