Mrs. Su looked at her daughter's appearance. She was dark and thin, and was shocked. "Why is she so dark? How can a girl be so dark? I will never agree to it next time."
"If you rest at home for a few days, you will come back in vain. Haha, mother, you don't know how much fun it is in that village. I'm still wondering how Wen Wan can stay in the village for so long. She can I really know how to entertain myself." Zhenzhen chattered. The more I talk about it, the more excited I become, and I can¡¯t wait to go back and experience it more now.
It¡¯s rare for Mrs. Su to see her daughter so happy, so naturally she won¡¯t pour cold water on her. Listening to my daughter talk about it, I found it interesting.
"Unexpectedly, there are rumors in the capital that the princess is vulgar, barbaric, stingy, and stingy. Everyone knows that the princess is as elegant as a hermit, and they don't know what to think. The rumors are really killing people." Mrs. Su shook her head and smiled. .
"Mom, you fenced in my garden and the garden. From now on, I have to get up and walk around a few times every morning. For more than a month, I no longer feel as tired as I did at home before. I always feel tired and heavy. I Yeah, I also need to exercise, but don¡¯t let them make fun of me again/" Zhenzhen said coquettishly.
"Haha, how difficult is this? But you have to persevere every day, will you persevere?" Mrs. Su asked with a chuckle.
"Yes, it must be possible." Zhenzhen said firmly.
"Mom, I heard from Hua'er, how many times has grandma scolded you because of me? Why does she scold you whenever something goes wrong." There was a coldness in Mei'er's eyes. Mei'er was surrounded by Hua'er and Ping'er, two personal maids.
"Let her go. Anyway, mother has to have sex, and she has gotten used to it over the years. On your side, although you are a little thinner and darker, you look more energetic." Mrs. Hua looked at her daughter, her eyes no longer as arrogant as before. With indifference and sparkling expression, Mrs. Hua was extremely happy after seeing it.
"I finally understand. You really shouldn't judge people by their superficial appearance. She is Wenwan, she really knows how to enjoy it. I envy her." Meier also knew that she couldn't help, and didn't want to waste her mother's efforts, so she just I told him all about Zhuangzi one by one. The mother and daughter talked very happily.
"It's hard for the princess." Mrs. Hua smiled and praised.
After school started, it turned out to be true. There are only sixty students. When it was announced that the eight talented girls would be admitted to the main school of Happy Academy this year, many people were overjoyed. Everyone here has their own idols! Especially such a talented woman as Yu Yu is an idol figure for many ladies. Being able to get up close and personal with idols. That is what everyone dreams of. Moreover, the study curriculum has also been changed a lot. It mainly focuses on managing the family, keeping in good health, dressing up, and socializing. Calligraphy is the same as playing music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Others are in a relaxed state.
"Tell me, what did you do on Zhuangzi?" Yiyi held Zhenzhen's hand as soon as she arrived, unwilling to let go. After listening to the two people's vivid descriptions, several people really regretted it. Sorry again. I was so envious that I was always annoyed. They all complained about their own mothers.
"It's all my mother's old stubbornness. It's true. I regret it so much. I will definitely go there next time." After hearing this, Yiyi felt envious and regretful that she didn't fight for it again.
¡°We have a lotus pond at home, so go fishing at our house when the time comes.¡± Ruyu said with a smile.
"The fish in the pond have been raised stupidly. They all swarm up when there is food. There is no fun in fishing in the river anymore. I won't fish." Yu Jie immediately retorted. It was a regret, but it was over. We can only wait for next year.
¡°Next year, next year I must go to Zhuangzi with Wen Wan.¡± Yiyi gears up. Everyone nodded firmly.
"One more thing, the princess wants you to go to Kaixin Academy and study with other students. What do you think?" Xia Ying said softly.
"It doesn't matter. As long as everyone can be together. It doesn't matter where you go to study." It was passed unanimously. Wen Wan was very pleased after hearing this.
The news spread, and those who got the news worshiped the people inside as their idols. After getting the news, many people planned to come back. However, Kaixin Academy gave a notice that the 100 seats in Kaixin Academy were fully booked, and the monthly fee increased to 100 taels. Upon hearing this notice, adults and children who were still hesitant immediately ran to sign up. The quota is occupied first. Sure enough, after the number of one hundred people was reached, no more people were accepted.
"Well, it's not good, it's not good at all. It's not as comfortable as in Xishui Hutong. There's delicious food and fun there, but there's nothing here. There are so many people." Yuxiu complained.
"Your delicious and fun things are all paid for with money. Do you really think that thirty taels of silver can allow you to enjoy such good food every day? It also allows you to waste so many ingredients every day. Just That bean feast is conservatively estimated to be a few hundred taels." Meier said coldly.
"Then, won't there be nothing delicious to eat in the future?" Yiyi also saidasked Chichi pitifully.
??Smiled softly and made two strokes. Xia Yu said hehely: "There is a way. As long as one of you can do it, you will have delicious food for the rest of your life."
"What method, please tell us quickly?" Yiyi couldn't hold it any longer. In the past few months, I have been really naughty by Wen Wan. When I got home, the food I ate was tasteless.
Ruyu and Zhenzhen looked very understanding, laughing from the side, while Jingqiu and Yuxiu blushed.
"She is our princess's sister-in-law and has become one of her own family members. Naturally, she will have delicious food for the rest of her life." Xia Yu chuckled.
"You're going to die, Xia Yu, you can still joke like this." Yutong and Yuxiu shouted.
"Princess, your idea is really good, it is indeed a golden abacus. I want to kidnap a sister-in-law out after seeing some delicious food." Meier joked. Hua Meier's favorite hobby is teasing Wen Wan about her love of money. Anyway, it has never changed. Although she also knew that Wenwan was not as popular as the rumors outside, it had become a habit.
Not only was Wen Wan not angry, she also said very eloquently that loving money is the noblest hobby.
Xia Yu was very innocent and said, this is what the princess meant, not me. Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Wen Wan quickly shook her head to express that this was not what I meant. Xia Yu was immediately bombarded by several girls, saying that he had misunderstood the princess' meaning. Everyone laughed and started making noise.
Speaking of which, Wen Wan really wants to find a sister-in-law here. Among the eight girls, Yiyi is engaged. The family status of Ruyu and Zhenzhen is too high, and Meier seems to be discussing marriage. And selfishly speaking, Wen Wan also feels that these three fairy-like girls are not worthy of Shang Tang, and they are not on the same level. She wouldn't choose Jingqiu. Choosing someone who always had more debts than others and had a frown on her face would be like asking for trouble. That leaves Yutong and Yuxiu, and since they are both lively, it will be more lively to marry them back home. But Yutong is a little younger, 9 years old, the same age as Wenwan. Therefore, Wenwan prefers Yuxiu. Two years younger than Shang Tang, he is just the right age.
Yuxiu has a good temper. She is also pretty, but her family background can only be considered average. She is 13 years old this year, two years younger than Shang Tang. After waiting for 3 years, we are almost ready to get married. Everyone knows the basics. The relationship with myself is also good. There will be a lot less bumps into each other when we live together in the future. He is Wenwan¡¯s first choice. Of course, hand them out now and see what they mean.
"Tell me. When Wen Wan said this, did she mean to ask Yuxiu to be her sister-in-law?" Zhenzhen whispered to Ruyu. Ruyu smiled on the side.
"I think it's not far away from ten." Yiyi immediately answered from the side.
"It's not just that, I think Wenwan still likes you." Jingqiu said coolly to Yutong from the side. Everyone chuckled quietly.
"What are you talking about? I'm six years younger than her brother. No one will look for me." Upon hearing this, Yutong retorted with the most eloquent words. Jingqiu didn't say anything about her to anyone she saw. There is a bitterness in my heart.
Yuxiu also guessed that she was the most suitable among them. They are of similar family background and age. His face turned red, "I whispered, who knows whether Wen Wan's brother is round or flat? I took a look through the curtain last time, but I didn't get a clear look."
As soon as these words came out, several people were stunned. No, it's really interesting. As soon as Yuxiu finished speaking, she knew that she had made a mistake. hurriedly walked away.
After Wen Wan heard this, she knew that Yuxiu and her family did have this intention. Overjoyed. It would be great if she could really find Yu Xiu as her sister-in-law. Yuxiu has a good temper. But not as timid as Ruozhen. She also loves to talk and laugh, so being an aunt with her is quite trouble-free and effort-saving.
After knowing this intention. Immediately invite several girls to visit. He said he would go to her house to have a barbecue. Several people understood it and happily agreed. After returning home Wenwan. He immediately told Shang Tang about this. After hearing this, Shang Tang blushed and felt a little shy, but he did not object. It's not a bad idea to find one of the seven most talented women in the capital, and one that my sister likes. Wen Wan looked at him without saying anything, but his face was red. Knowing that he had agreed, she immediately asked Xia Yu to make arrangements.
When the girls arrived at Bajing Alley, the crowd dispersed. Shang Tang hid in the back room and watched. Xia Yu had already sent a message, saying that the girl in goose yellow was the princess's favorite. Ask him to watch carefully. Shang Tang was inside, his eyes widened as he looked at the women of different colors and characteristics. You can't tell who is following whom, and you don't know where to put your eyes.
After waiting for a while, the person was led out from the other side. Several girls looked at Shang Tang who was going out from the other side from the inner courtyard. The faces of several girls turned red when they saw the graceful Shang Tang entering the hall.
"I didn't expect, Wen Wan, that your brother would be elected at such a young age, and he is also a very talented person. He also has a huge family fortune, and your sister-in-law would be so easy to talk to."Whoever gets married in the future will definitely be very lucky. Ruyu joked.
"Yes, you are blessed!" Yiyi said, dragging out the word "ah" very long.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of ??nourishing, talking about Yuxiu until their faces turned red. Yutong looked at it and knew that nothing happened to him. The age difference between the two is quite large. It's nothing to mind, and I'm afraid she won't be able to find anything like this when it comes to her family affairs. He cheered along happily. But because the matter has not been settled, I did not name him.
Shangtang went to school and met the two seniors. Shangtang was a little embarrassed. Among the girls is their younger sister!
"The princess said, you must not let it slip that you accidentally saw your husband just now. Otherwise, you will think that there are no rules in our house. It will be pitiful if the ladies don't let you play with her." Wen Wan stood aside pitifully.
"Haha, it's us looking at him, not him looking at us. What does it matter? By the way, what if he doesn't like your choice?" Yiyi said with a smile.
Wen Wan smiled and shook her head, meaning that as long as he liked it, he would definitely like it. He still believed in his vision. Several people laughed, and these words were naturally true. Among these people, no one is a sharp person, no matter who they are. Peishangtang is more than enough.
When I asked Shang Tang what he meant at night, Shang Tang said that he was blinded by it, that everyone was good, and that everything was decided by his sister. Wen Wan couldn't stop laughing when she heard that her sister had to make the final decision on her brother's marriage. He is a younger sister, even better than his mother.
Mrs. Jiang became interested in this matter from the beginning, and she was very enthusiastic about it. Mrs. Jiang came up with this idea after hearing about the election of people in Shangtang. He won the imperial examination at the age of 15, and his talent and learning are good. I've already gone to inquire about him, and he looks like a talented person. The temperament is also good. So far, there are no maids or anything like that, and Wen Wan is also very strict. Even if you fail the exam this year and pass it again in three years, with so many noble relatives, your future will be good. How to see. It's a good match anyway. It's just that Wen Wan had already said that we would wait until after the examination. It would also be good for her to prepare to talk about this again in a few months.
You will hear Wen Wan¡¯s words coming out. I was very happy and said that I could use the birth dates of two people to match them, and if I liked them, they would settle down on the marriage. Although Wen Wan took a fancy to it, she did not agree. Because she had already let the news out before. He said that he would talk about marriage after the test. If we talk about marriage now, wouldn't it be a slap in the face? There is no rush in these few months. and. Wen Wan also has her own considerations, which do not fall short of what she said before. When the results of the general examination come out, if you can win, you will be even happier. If you can't win, it's also a joy. It can dilute Shang Tang's inner disappointment.
When Mrs. Jiang saw Wen Wan, she said that we would discuss the marriage in two months. I agree. Most people, in order to seek good luck, will wait until after the test to discuss marriage.
Wenwan asked Shangtang to prepare well for the exam. If he can pass the exam this time, it will be a double happiness. Shang Tang nodded solemnly and worked harder.
Wen Wan suddenly remembered. My teacher is a top scholar. Although Cheap Daddy is also the top pick, Wen Wan intuitively knows that the difference between the two top picks is heaven and earth. So, I asked the teacher for help. Song Luoyang listened. Such a small thing is naturally complied with.
It didn¡¯t take long. It was rumored that the examiner this time was Bachelor of Science in the Sea. Wen Wan wonders if this is too much of a coincidence. Does it mean that Shang Tang still has a chance? He hurriedly asked Shang Tang to stop working behind closed doors and communicate more with these two classmates. Academician Hai Da has already moved into the Ministry of Etiquette. In order to avoid suspicion, he will not come out until after the exam.
But everyone is relatively familiar with his style. Wen Wan put the matter aside and didn't care. Go to school every day, practice boxing, learn wine-making, look at the account books, and chat among friends, and live a leisurely life. It was the most peaceful time since Wenwan came to this world.
"The second master will no longer be annoying, and the cheap dad will no longer come to harass you." The other shrimp soldiers didn't dare to do anything to her.
Wen Wanzheng is wondering how the second master, that god, can be so honest now. It turned out that the patriarch knew that he was selling his daughter and went to Wen Wan to make a fuss. Later, he forcibly took away all the maids around his daughter-in-law. He called Ping Xiangcheng and gave him a scolding. He said that if he couldn't control it, he would leave it to the clan. Plan to imprison him in the ancestral hall. Ping Xiangcheng wanted to imprison him in the ancestral hall, but he had no choice. If Ping's mother knew that his second son was imprisoned in the ancestral hall, there would probably be trouble again. Having no choice but to send people to watch Bu Renping go out to the east day and night, he was detained in their second room and was not allowed to go out.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed. It will already be September. September is the time to collect lotus pods. Wenwan promised them last time that they could go pick lotus pods. Yiyi called out several times, and Wen Wan had already ordered people to prepare. A few beautiesMiss, if you go out, you must ensure 100% safety. On this day, Wen Wan finally agreed that they could go pick lotus pods in three days if it didn't rain.
"Haha, I've been looking forward to it, and finally it's here. God, please give me some face. Don't rain, don't rain. Then, we can have a lot of fun," Yiyi said to God. , put his hands together and made several bows and salutes. They also pull a few people to do it together to show their pious heart.
Wen Wan stepped aside, not wanting to make trouble with her. Ruyu and others were also standing aside, laughing.
Fortunately, God has given me face. Three days later, the weather will be cloudy, the best weather.
When we arrived, we had already had breakfast. But the lotus leaves all over the lake are spread on the water, with crystal clear water drops rolling on them.
The lotus leaves are like open green umbrellas, some are floating on the lake, and some are standing on the blue waves. Like layers of green waves, like pieces of jade.
The last time I came to see it, the lotus leaves were all covered with lotus flowers. At this time, most of the lotus flowers in the lake have withered, and they are basically sculptured into strong lotus pods. The tops of the prickly lotus stalks are filled with large lotus pods. One look at them tells you that there has been a good harvest, and it is also very pleasing to look at. There are four boats parked on the edge of the lake. Eight people each take a small boat.
With a few gentle strokes, Xia Ying said with a smile, "Miss Hua, my princess asked you to sit on the same boat with her."
Meier didn¡¯t think much and nodded in agreement. Ruyu and Jingqiu; Yiyi and Yutong; Zhenzhen and Yuxiu were divided into four groups. They each got on the boat, and there was a woman on each boat, whom Wen Wan found specially. They are all in their thirties and are proficient in water properties. There are two baskets on each boat, one for each person.
"The boat is sailing. The boat is sailing." Yiyi stood on the boat and danced. The boat rocked, almost shaking her into the water. She was so frightened that she quickly squatted down and grabbed the edge of the boat.
"Miss, this boat is small, so you can't move too much. Otherwise, the boat will lose its balance and may even capsize. Also, when you are picking lotus pods, move to the left and right, so that you are not afraid of capsizing." The fisherman's mate said.
Yiyi didn¡¯t know that there was so much knowledge in picking a lotus pod. But he was still very honest and didn't dare to move around. Wen Wan lowered her head and smiled. She had told the four fisherwomen in advance that she was afraid that they would go crazy and fall into the river without any sense of control. Nothing will happen. It is basically impossible to escape a cold. When the time comes, she will still have to be blamed by their mother.
"Why do you keep doing it? It's really difficult to do." It took a long time to break off one lotus pod, and then directly tore open a lotus pod from the broken lotus pod. He took two lotus seeds, peeled them open, and ate them in his mouth.
While eating, he praised, "Yeah. It's so delicious, Yutong, you should try one too. Eat it first, it's so fragrant and delicious. Eat it first, Yutong, and then eat it." It took him a while to eat it all. one.
Meier, who was with Wen Wan, could not help but become poetic:
When the moon goes out, the spring dawns on the river. In the middle of the water are green and thin red sleeves, and the fragrance of green lotus and lotus seeds is mixed with clothes. When the clouds rise and the wind rises, the road back is long. The road back is long, so everyone will return to the boat and wave their hands.
¡°Auntie, give me juice and shake it. I¡¯ll give it a try too.¡± After hearing the words, Yuxiu was even more positive than Yiyi. The fisherman glanced at Wen Wan who was not far away, and nodded with a smile. Only then did the fisherman give the milk to Yuxiu.
Yiyi also followed suit, and the two of them competed with each other on the lake. He immediately overtook Yuxiu. "Haha, I'm faster than you. Fortunately, you were ahead of me! Chase, come and chase me."
Wen Wan pretended to lie in the boat, feeling a little bored, and drew a few strokes. Mei'er said in surprise, "You asked me to play the piano, where is the piano? It's good to have some fun with the piano."
The fisherman brought a piano to her from the cabin, along with a low table and a small stool. Mei'er glanced at Wen Wan and realized that this girl had been prepared for a long time. Could it be that she was going to be in the same boat with her? He didn't say anything, but in such an environment, it was fun to just talk and play the piano.
As soon as Mei'er's piano played, the four fisherwomen sang a cheerful song together. It was a song about picking lotus pods, expressing the joy of harvest. Although they didn't understand the tune, it sounded very nice. Listening to it makes people feel even more comfortable, open and cheerful.
When the song ends, the song is over. Ruyu and others felt dissatisfied, "Let's do it again, it sounds so good. Wenwan, let them do it again."
Wenwan asked Meier, she was the one playing the piano, and it was up to her whether she was willing or not. Meier nodded. When music starts, singing follows.
Wen Wan sat up, broke off a lotus pod from her side, took out a green lotus seed from inside, peeled it open and gently put it in her mouth. Fragrant and refreshing, it¡¯s so delicious!
The four boats shuttled through the Lotus Lake like four dragonflies. While playing, the sky cleared up. In the refraction of the sun, the shadows of several little girls were reflected in the water. Yiyi suddenly started playing tricks. He poured water on the nearest Yuxiu.
"Hey, I'm going to catch a cold. Don't make trouble" Yuxiu shouted loudly. Yiyi refused to listen and continued to splash water. One was splashed, two were splashed, no one would give up. Everyone simply played a show of splashing water.
"Ah, my clothes are all soaked. Don't splash anymore, they are really soaked." Everyone didn't care, and the one who suffered the loss continued to splash.
"Haha, haha, soaked chicken, soaked chicken. It became a group of soaked chickens." The cheerful laughter spread far and wide. Ruyu, who was usually dignified and elegant, was also wet. (To be continued)
