Rebirth cannon fodder

Chapter 14 Defloration
"Second Sister..." Xu Manzhen was leaning on the bed and looking at "Journey to the West" that Xu Dahong specially found for her. Xu Dahong is really a brother who cares about his sister. I bought all the "Journey to the West" to relieve her boredom.

Originally, Xu Manzhen was not a person who loved to read a lot, except for leisure books, and there was no other way of entertainment, so she had to lean on the bedside and read every day.In this way, Bai Xin was also very strict, and would take the book away after a while, and return it to her after a while, leaving Xu Manzhen very speechless.

"Second Miss, Third Miss is here." Bai Xin heard the shouts outside, went out to have a look, then came in and said.

"Call her in." The past few days lying in bed to recuperate almost bored her to death.The ancients were afraid of getting sick, so if someone was sick, they would rarely dare to come to see them. Therefore, in the past three days, the masters of the Xu family, big and small, usually sent maids and the like to ask. , the real master, besides Xu Dahong, who is an elder brother, Xu Shuzhen who is here now is the first one.

But Xu Dahong is different after all, he is a real brother!But Xu Shuzhen and her are just the same father, so the relationship is going to be different after all.

It's just that Xu Manzhen is very strange, why didn't Jiang Shi, the main wife of Xu's family, show up?It stands to reason that, as her biological mother, she shouldn't be afraid if others are afraid of getting sick, right?
But now even the concubine's younger sister showed up, why didn't Jiang's mother come?
Also, why would the family affairs of Xu's mansion be handed over to Si Yiniang, the aunt, who is in charge of the house when the main wife is still alive?
In the original script, there were very few parts involving the Jiang family. At the very end, Xu Shuzhen appeared only once when she was received under Jiang's name to facilitate her marriage. Then Jiang's family is probably not in the mansion... Where is she? ?

But it's inconvenient for her to ask Bai Xin, why doesn't she even know where her mother is?

If the Jiang family could be around and someone would help to speak, then Xu Manzhen's ending would not be as tragic as it was before, would it?

It seems that we must find an opportunity to inquire slowly.

"Second Sister, you have been sick for a few days, are you feeling better?" Xu Shuzhen walked into the room with a smile, "Everyone is very concerned about you. The teachers in the school have asked me about it today."

Women's school?Xu Manzhen remembered that there were a few good scenes in the women's school.But she fell ill as soon as she came here, so she hasn't been to a women's school until now.

Thinking of those scenes in the girls' school, Xu Manzhen became a little tired and didn't want to go.

Why?Of course, the ancient women's studies did not study subjects such as Chinese, mathematics, physics and chemistry. Of course, if they were studying these, Xu Manzhen would not have much interest.

However, what are the current female students studying?Subjects such as embroidery, painting, calligraphy, and music belong to the category of "female workers" and must be learned; there is also a more boring part, "Four Books for Women", which talks about some social and family norms that women should abide by. The "Analects of Confucius" that Xu Shuzhen lent her last time was one of them.

To say that such a subject is really boring!
So when it comes to women's studies, Xu Manzhen is going to heave a big sigh!
What's more, in modern times, she was good at singing and dancing, and she was a top artist in school since she was a child, but in this ancient time, she was nothing!Ancient music does not mean singing popular songs!

As for embroidery, calligraphy, etc., I don't know how well she learned in her predecessor, but now, she has mastered all six of her seven orifices - only one who doesn't know anything!

Only painting is passable, maybe, I want Xiaolu to suppress these ancients?

"Second sister, you don't have to be afraid. The gentlemen are actually quite kind. Mr. Li said today that the second sister should not be in a hurry, and wait for her illness to recover." Xu Shuzhen saw Xu Manzhen's expression and knew that she didn't want to go to class, so she Say it quickly.

"Thank you." Xu Manzhen replied listlessly.

The few plots in the women's school made Xu Manzhen very powerless. There, Xu Manzhen caused troubles for Xu Shuzhen many times, and then caused a lot of trouble for herself...

The most important thing is that there will be a competition in the future, which Xu's father ordered, asking the girls in Xu's mansion to carefully prepare a gift...

In the original script, of course Xu Shuzhen won the big win, while Xu Manzhen lost to nothing.

Then Xu Manzhen, who was out of her mind in the script, got angry and scrambled Xu Shuzhen's embroidery that took a month to embroider...

In the end, she didn't expect that her behavior greatly disrupted Xu's father's arrangement. In his anger, Xu's father severely punished her and put her in confinement for a month. , is not as good as before.

More importantly, Xu Manzhen remembered that after this incident, Xu Dahong also alienated his sister.

This competition... Why did it have such serious consequences?

It seems that this matter is not simple, I hate the script written by Yu, these things are not explained clearly.The play written by Yu is basically confined to this small back house...Of course, as an ancient woman, there is no way to get out, and her whole life is like being in prison, locked in a big or small Inside the small yard.

But what kind of thing is it?According to Xu Manzhen's understanding, she often did things like tearing off Xu Shuzhen's embroidery, but why did this time alone have such serious consequences?
Thinking of this, Xu Manzhen couldn't lie on the bed anymore. No, I can't continue to be so decadent. Since this competition is so important, I must win!
As long as he wins the competition, he will have a solid foundation in the Xu Mansion.

Just look at how narrow-minded Fourth Aunt is playing now, and you will know that the original Xu Manzhen was quite embarrassed in the mansion. He wanted to get angry and hit someone, and the fourth aunt in charge of the family seemed to have a grudge against her, even if she hired a doctor, she would still hurt her a little like this.

If only my own mother was the housekeeper, there would be no such thing...

Then by winning the competition, he also won Xu's father's favor. Only in this way can he truly establish himself in Xu's residence and change his destiny...

How could he be reborn into such a person!Xu Manzhen sighed.

"Third sister, don't worry, the doctor hired by Fourth Aunt is very skilled in medicine, and I will be cured soon." Xu Manzhen said to Xu Shuzhen with a smile.

If I behaved better in the women's school, maybe I could change that old man's opinion a little bit.

In addition, Xu Manzhen didn't want Xu Shuzhen to be in the limelight in that competition. After she came, the plot continued to develop as before.

Then, she needs to work hard to learn the things she didn't like before.

Xu Manzhen remembered another incident, which is strange to say. There was a plot in the play, Xu Shuzhen was bullied by her sister-in-law, but she never filed a complaint, but Xu's father knew it every time... Could it be that he Eyeliner in the back house?

Xu Shuzhen looked at the smiling Xu Manzhen, a little surprised in her heart, but her face was calm.After talking with Xu Manzhen for a while, he said goodbye and left.

"What the hell is Miss San doing here?" Bai Xin waited for her to leave, and then complained to Xu Manzhen, "I know you are sick, but you are still sitting here for so long, and you missed your rest."

"She still cares about me." Xu Manzhen smiled slightly, "Don't take other people's kindness as malice." It's just this concern... It's very strange, I always feel that there seems to be an intention to make myself angry, as if on purpose Excited not to let myself go to women's school...

So she agreed so smoothly just now, she must be very disappointed in her heart, right?

Thinking of this, Xu Manzhen smiled slightly.

She said so, what else can Bai Xin say?He just advised Xu Manzhen to take a good rest.

"I'm getting better soon." Xu Manzhen felt that it was a bit difficult to be bored in the room reading every day for the past few days, so she asked, "Help me walk outside to get some fresh air."

"What's new?" Bai Xin didn't understand, and asked curiously as she came up to support her.

Xu Manzhen hesitated a little. Could it be that there is no such thing as air in this era?I really have to forgive her, she was born as an art student, so she really doesn't quite understand these details.

"I heard that there are new flowers blooming in the garden... Help me to have a look." Xu Manzhen hesitated, wondering if Bai Xin would believe her nonsense.

"Yeah, the gardenias just bloomed, and now the back garden is very fragrant." Bai Xin didn't have any doubts, so she let Xu Manzhen confuse this sentence, and she talked happily, "Second Miss, would you like Don’t let your servants pick a few half-opened flowers and soak them in the room, they will be fragrant for several days.”

Gardenias... A dreamy smile appeared on Xu Manzhen's face.I remember that when she was a child, what she looked forward to the most was the early summer every year, because there would be a lot of gardenias blooming in the nearby middle school campus, and then she would sneak in and see the buds, no matter how they bloomed, they would all Take it off, hide it in your clothes, and take it home to soak.

Those half-bloomed gardenias can be sold for money, and they are sold in a small basket for fifty cents. Many girls and daughters-in-law like to buy them.Every summer, relying on gardenias, she can earn back the money of many ice creams!

"Okay, hurry up and take me to see it." Xu Manzhen became interested all of a sudden, and urged Bai Xin instead.

Seeing his young lady's anxious look, Bai Xin couldn't help laughing.

"Ghost girl, what are you laughing at?" Xu Manzhen scolded her with a smile, "Hurry up if you don't have it in your hand, let's pick some more and soak them in a while, and soak some in your room too, so that you can smell good too."

"The maidservant thanked Miss in advance." Bai Xin also smiled, and supported Xu Manzhen who was still a little weak and walked slowly towards the garden.

In Xu's garden, there are naturally many rare flowers, but peonies, chrysanthemums, and gardenias are still the most numerous. With the feeling of "planting flowers in the east and gardenia in the west", which garden does not plant some gardenias, as if it has no face to say that this is a garden at home.
