Daughter Raiders

Chapter 63 Going to School
Outside the fence at the southeast corner of the back garden of Su Mansion is the Tixiang House.After the bustle and bustle, the Dragon Boat Festival was over, and the eldest wife specially ordered ten servants to clean the Tixiang House from inside to outside. I chose some exquisite vases, screens and other furnishings in the big warehouse, and I was waiting for the class to start on the tenth day of May.

The lady's surname is Xue, and she is good at poetry, poetry, calligraphy and painting; while the aunt Chen Cailing who was released from the palace has more experience in noble ladies' etiquette and derong speech skills, the two can be said to complement each other, the old lady Seeing people, I can't help being extremely satisfied.

But if old Mrs. Su said that he didn't want his girls to learn these things - his girls never entered the palace, and they didn't need to cling to the powerful, so what's the use of learning these things?In the future, if she marries into her mother-in-law's family, she should not be disliked by others. The girl from the Su family only understands romance, but does not understand common affairs.

What's more, his poor elder sister... If she hadn't been titled the most talented woman in the capital, how could she have suffered such a sudden disaster.

Later, it was the old lady who persuaded him, saying that after Brother Yuan's daughter-in-law had two full moons, two of the three house heads would be away from their parents. We can't let the girls all fend for themselves like sheep. The old man nodded and acquiesced when he heard that it made sense.

In a blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of the fifth lunar month. Tao Ran got up early, put on the summer clothes that the sewing room had made a few days ago, washed up, and went to greet the old lady. Xue checked the book bag again, for fear that there would be something missing in the Tixiang Pavilion.

"Sister Yue is not yet five years old, so you can't go to the Tixiang House to attend classes. You are the youngest among your sisters. Remember to discuss with your sisters when you encounter problems." I can't sit still.

Tao Ran said yes with a smile, but he was extremely worried.

Mr. Xue and Aunt Chen taught her in the last life, but unfortunately she called her sick every now and then. Except for painting, her father had already given her a foundation, and everything else was no different from knowing nothing about it. Bottle of vinegar, until the two gentlemen left the Su family, they would shake their heads and sigh when they mentioned her. I don't know if in this life... If she doesn't call her sick so often, will it improve?
The old lady also saw the hesitant look on Tao Ran's face, so she smiled and explained to her: "Since your father left Suxue for you specially, what do you have to worry about? Although the child is only a maid, she is the most ice-snow girl." Smart, if you have something that you didn't learn in class, just ask her to demonstrate it to you a few more times when you come back."

The most important job of these maids who accompany the girl to school is to accompany the students, otherwise the old lady would not deliberately ask if there are any good candidates; with them as accompanying students, they can also help the girl consolidate her studies after class Something is not.

Tao Ran suddenly realized.It's not a big deal, since her father left Su Xue for her, she is no longer surrounded by the painting in the previous life, and she has made up her mind that no matter who pushes her, she will not play truant, this time Make sure you don't make the same old mistakes again.

"Grandmother said so, Miss Tao, remember it!" Tao Ran agreed bluntly, and the old lady was relieved when she saw that her words worked.

At this time, the eldest wife and the second wife also brought the girls to greet the old lady, Yanran also came half a moment later, and the old lady asked someone to pass the meal, saying that they had finished their breakfast so that the girls could go to school.

When the breakfast came, everyone sat around the table. Tao Ran was drinking a bowl of hot milk, but when he was halfway through the drink, he remembered that today was the first day of school. He hurriedly put down the half-bowl of milk, and reminded An Ran beside him to drink less: "...it's better to eat more pasta."

The old lady smiled and glanced at Tao Ran—don't look at this child who is young, but she is very considerate in life, no wonder the third child loves her.

"From tomorrow onwards, ask the kitchen to add a case of milk porridge. Don't add any water, just use milk to make it thicker." Call Shen's mother to personally send a few girls to the Tixiang Pavilion.

Seeing that their mother-in-law was so thoughtful, the eldest wife and the second wife never mentioned that they wanted to send the children off in person, so they bid farewell to the old lady, and accompanied the children out of the gate of the Pine Age Hall. Go back and go to work.

An Ran walked all the way to the Tixiang Pavilion, looking at Tao Ran and smiling all the way.Tao Ran didn't understand why, so he softly asked the fourth sister what she was laughing at, An Ran pointed at her and then at Su Xue: "You are the youngest among the sisters, but you have brought a maid who is taller than anyone else."

Tao Ran pursed her lips and smiled——Su Xue is not only tall, Su Xue is also good at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and Fu, she can be called her good teacher.

Yan Ran, however, took Tao Ran's smile as pride, and hated it in her heart, but then thought that her mother should have arrived in Liaodong Mansion, and a letter would arrive in less than ten days, so she made up her mind to write a letter to her mother when she turned around. Go, ask mother to beg father for her, and beg for another girl named Leng Yue.

Although today is the first day of class, the class has been arranged long ago. In the morning, Mr. Xue will teach some calligraphy and painting, and in the afternoon, Aunt Chen will explain the etiquette. The little girl at the door went in to announce, and after a little leaning, Mr. Xue came out to greet him personally, accepted the salute from all the girls with a smile, and then invited them to move into the hall.

"The old lady told me to ask Mr. Xue if I would like to have a teacher's apprentice ceremony... I will also send someone to prepare the incense table and futon." Shen's mother asked in a low voice.

Mr. Xue shook his head with a smile: "A girl's family is no better than a man's, so there is no need to talk about those polites. It is better to get along with teachers and friends."

Boys go to school to worship the enlightenment teacher, a teacher for a day and a father for life; girls learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at home, but it is just to cultivate their sentiments. When things come, you can't help but let your hands and feet go.

Tao Ran followed behind, listening to Mr. Xue's words really brightly, he couldn't help laughing and sighing in his heart - he also said that he was both a teacher and a friend, as if he was so kind to others, if he really made a mistake, Mr. Xue's ruler would never Show mercy.

But this can't blame Mr. Xue, who told her to be out of tune back then?Now she has made up her mind to go to school well, if Mr. Xue still whips her with a ruler or punishes her to stand, then it will not be too late to talk to Mr. Xue.

"What are you laughing at?" An Ran asked Tao Ran softly.

Tao Ran pouted angrily: "I think this gentleman is very kind."

An Ran hurriedly whispered to her and warned her: "What can you tell, little girl! Take a closer look at the two vertical lines between her eyebrows, it would be strange if she is really a kind person!"

Tao Ran quietly raised his head and looked, as expected, there were really two obvious lines between Mr. Xue's eyebrows. At first glance, it was caused by frequent frowning. Recalling that in the previous life, Mr. Xue's every stroke of the ruler was crisp and resounding. There was a high bump, and it hurt for three or four days, and I couldn't help but shiver.
