Chapter 196: Helping Others
In a flash, Huajin has been in Beijing for half a year.
When I first entered the capital, it was the spring when the grass grew and the warbler flew, and after the summer of peach and willow green, it has now reached the autumn when the forest is dyed.
Time waits for no one.
In the past six months, my brother is still studying at Jinglu Academy, preparing to take the township examination in Beijing next year.
But every few days, he would return to the Marquis of Jingning's mansion, and while visiting Hua Jin, he would tell her about his studies and friends.
As expected by Hua Jin, Song Junming won the top prize in high school.
The champion of the three yuan is very powerful.
To put it bluntly, it is the first in the provincial examination, the first in the national examination, and the emperor personally invigilated the examination in the palace examination.
This is only three people in the more than 100-year history of the Great Chu State.
Song Junming and their brother and sister only had a few encounters in Laizhou, and after entering the Hanlin Academy to teach the Hanlin Academy to revise, he was still able to mention his brother's homework.
Hua Jin remembered that Song Junming was a person who valued love and righteousness, and knew that his family was not particularly wealthy, and he had just become an official and had a meager salary, so he often asked his brother to give him some gifts.
After going back and forth, Song Junming also took more care of Hua Chen.
In the past six months, Princess Su's health has deteriorated, but she is still happy to step up the cultivation of the five sisters.
Every day in the house, the nurturing grandmother teaches the rules and etiquette is just the basic.
From time to time, their sisters will participate in various poetry parties, flower parties, and drinking parties for the ladies in the noble circle.
It really allowed them to integrate into the Jingzhong Xungui circle as quickly as possible.
Since that letter, Hua Jin has become very good friends with Xu Guogong's eldest daughter, Xu Chen.
This is also a bonus.
…………
On this day, the weather was clear, Hua Jin sat in front of the window after breakfast, drinking tea and reading.
Seeing that the hour was approaching, he got up and prepared to go to the open hall of the house to teach Mama's lesson.
Wearing a thin cloak of feather veil, Hua Jin took the white peach and the peach out of the main room.
But just as I saw a little maid coming out of the east chamber with a copper basin, the water in it was obviously bloodstained with blood.
"Who was hurt?" When encountering this kind of thing, you don't have to worry about Huajin, so naturally you have a peach to ask.
"It's the sixth girl's hand that hurts."
"Seriously?"
"Sixth sister is fine."
As soon as Hua Jin's words were asked, the sixth girl, Hua Rui, walked out of the east wing with her personal maid forsythia, and blood oozed out of her bandaged hands.
Hua Rui hid her injured hand in her sleeve.
"Sixth sister, do you still want to go to the class of teaching grandma?"
Hua Rui just smiled faintly, "Sixth sister is really fine." ”
While speaking, Hua Qi also came out of the West Chamber, and Hua Jin knew that he couldn't persuade Hua Rui, so he went to class with the two of them.
In the past six months, Hua Rui's efforts have been seen in Hua Jinquan's eyes.
Even if it was a cold winter day, how many nights she had turned off the lights and gone to bed, but she could still see the light on Hua Rui's end.
Hua Rui is practicing embroidery etiquette and reading and writing.
I heard from the maids that the lights would be on until late at night.
Hua Jin knew that she had been practicing her manners with porcelain on her head.
Just now, I was afraid that the porcelain on the top of her head would fall, and she accidentally fell and broke her hand, right?
Hua Jin looked sideways at Hua Rui, who was walking dignified with a straight waist.
It's really changed.
It turns out that having an obsession can really change a person.
After half a year's hard work, Hua Rui is no longer the humble little girl who is so timid that she only streaks at her toes.
The three of them arrived in the open hall where the class was held, and a moment later Hua Fei and Hua Cai also came.
The five of them started the class, and Hua Jin looked at the sisters around him but thought about it.
Counting the days, Princess Su Hua Tong's days are not much, and Hua Jin can see her hesitation.
Half a year ago, the flower viewing would make her completely exclude Hua Fei, but Hua Fei didn't know this, and she was the one who was most eager to try it every time.
Hua Jin and Hua Cai hinted many times, but she only felt that they were jealous of her, and it seemed that she could only die by herself one day.
Hua Cai and Hua Qi have always had a more passive attitude towards the results of this selection of step-concubines, and if they are selected, they will not be rejected, and it is reasonable that they are not selected.
And Hua Cai is the concubine of the Zhang family, and this identity always makes Princess Su hesitate.
Huajin itself repels this matter.
Only Hua Rui is secretly working hard for this goal without arrogance or impatience.
Hua Rui also admired Su Wang Chuyuan a little, but her main purpose was to change her fate and identity.
This will not make Princess Su Hua Tong too disgusted.
Does she want to add fuel to the fire and help Hua Rui behind her back?
Just thinking of this, Hua Jin heard an oops.
When I came back to my senses, I found that Hua Rui had fallen again.
And a teaching grandmother beside her was scolding her: "I can't learn the rules well for a long time, if I offend the supreme honor of the master in the palace, I will be ridiculed and punished, and I will be killed at the worst." ”
Hua Rui lowered her eyes and didn't make a sound, and quickly got up and stood upright, not pretentious.
"The sixth sister's hand is injured." Hua Jin walked over and lifted Hua Rui's sleeves, and the eye-catching blood oozed out again.
"I'm fine, I can continue."
Hua Cai and Hua Qi also looked worried, "Sixth sister, it's better to rest." ”
Hua Fei glanced at Hua Rui's wound lightly, and the matter of choosing a concubine seemed to make her lose her heart and become more and more indifferent.
The two teachers naturally praised Hua Rui's persistence.
Hua Jin affirmed his thoughts.
She is not a saint, and she has thought that as long as she can be alone in this farce of choosing a concubine.
But now she wants to help Hua Rui, and if she can help others and benefit herself, why not?
…………
In the afternoon, Princess Su Hua Tong sent someone to take the five sisters to the palace.
Five-year-old Chu Zhilin is about to be enlightened, and before that, Princess Su wants them to have more contact with Brother Lin, after all, it is one of them who will take care of him in the future.
Although he likes the smart and beautiful Brother Lin very much, and has some sympathy for this child who is about to lose his biological mother, Hua Jin has never dared to release his kindness.
…………
In the past six months, Huajin has been preparing for the arrival of his sister.
My aunt had already sent the housekeeper of the Yan Mansion to find a better house.
Hua Jin did not ask Princess Su Hua Tong for this matter, but had to find it in person.
It just so happened that there was a four-entry house in Dongcheng to be sold, and Hua Jin and Hua Chen went to see it in person.
It happened that this official was also a military general in the court, and the martial arts training ground in the house was very suitable for the little uncle.
And this house has only been renovated in recent years, and it is perfect to move in with just some furniture.
She was looking for a house, and she happened to meet such a suitable seller, Hua Jin felt that this matter was a little strange, and it was always like someone was pushing behind her.
After all, the water in the capital is deep, and Hua Jin still asked Hua Chen to investigate.
The results were as they seemed, and the military attache who returned to his hometown was honest and upright, and he had a good reputation in the DPRK.
As long as there is no problem, Hua Jin asked the Yan family's housekeeper to sign the deed.
The only thing left to do is to open an embroidery workshop......
