The study of the Jinyuan Court was full of letters of self-recommendation.
After a day’s selection, Zhu Yan and Mam. Su-Cui were all tired. However, they finally chose a suitable candidate. This person’s temperament was even worse than Gambler Zhu!
“The ancestors of the Wang Family are farmers. The income of the family is low and they just barely get by. The Ninth Wang who is forty-five years old has gotten married twice. His wives both were abused to death by him. But few people know the news. People all think that the Ninth Wang is not lucky,” Su Zipei said roughly.
Mam. Su-Cui and Zhu Yan both nodded and they dispatched one nanny to contact the Wang Family.
Before long, the old nanny returned with a strange look. She said, “Old Lady and the First Madam, I went to the Ninth Wang’s family, but the Ninth Wang did not admit that he had sent the letter of self-recommendation. He said that he was not interested in the Su Family and t
There was a horrible energy breaking out in the bamboo building strong enough to lift its roof! Su Li was the first one to get hurt. The blood spilt out from her mouth. But she still did not leave Ling Li and continued to pass more hot liquid.Ling Li tasted the blood. He was shocked and immediately stopped the energy.Su Li’s eyes could hardly open and she struggled to pass the last nostrum. Then she released her hand and completely fainted.Ling Li immediately hugged Su Li and his feeling was complicated. He remembered that he suspected Su Li had tried to kill him before. He felt guilty.At this time, there were some loud sounds.Qu Qingning and Ling Mo came first. Seeing Ling Li hugging Su Li, they were dumbfounded. What happened?Ling Li’s face was red and he struggled to explain, “When Su Li treated my injury, she accidentally hurt herself. Don’t think too much.”Ling Mo scratched his hea
The sound of wind disappeared at a moment and there was a terrible silence.Looking at the dark eyes of the girl, Ling Li’s heart beat wildly. He was almost sure of the identity of the girl in front of him, but when he saw Su Li’s reaction, his hands and feet turned cold.Su Li’s eyes were gloomy and flashed a moment of confusion. After a moment of silence, she suddenly made a self-mockery that she couldn’t say clearly and that she didn’t know, “Who is Xue?...Who is she to you?”Ling Li was surprised. Was I wrong? He wanted to see any signs of pretense on Su Li’s face, but he was disappointed.Su Li burst out a series of low laughter. The calm tone of voice was brewing a magma-like rage, “I did so much, but you thought I was Xue…”Ling Li didn’t realize the seriousness of the matter. He coughed and said, “Don’t get me wrong. I just asked casually. If you are not, then forget it.”Before the words were fini
The carriage galloped along, and Su Li and Su Zipei arrived at the Muyang Town around 8 a.m. Muyang Town was three times larger than that of the Dasu Town. The former was a real big town, and its prosperity was far greater than that of the latter. This was also the reason why the Muyang Girls’ School became the first girls’ school in the Qinghe Province.Su Zipei gingerly opened the curtain, and she looked curious, like a village woman going to town. Pedestrians couldn’t help laughing when they saw her expression.Su Zipei realized this and put down the curtain in hurry, her face turning very red. She pretended that nothing had happened and peeked at Su Li, and she saw Su Li’s eyes closed.“Fortunately, Su Li didn’t see the scene…” Su Zipei thought. The coachman’s voice suddenly rang from outside, “Miss, we have arrived at the girls’ school.”Su Zipei quickly put on a nice dress. Then she opened the curtain and went d
After the class, Su Li was called away directly by the elder teacher, which made everyone in the classroom envy her.They came to a four-sided ventilated teahouse. The approachable elder teacher just let Su Li sit down then he laughed and said, “Little girl, you’re Su Li, aren’t you?”“Yes, teacher.” Su Li sat in a respectful manner and said gently, “It was my sister who was expelled by you. She was spoiled by my mother since she was a baby. Please don’t mind her.”“Hahahaha...”Su Li was so frank that the elder teacher did not want to ask about the book basket any more. Instead, he picked up another topic and asked, “I saw the annotations you made on the Dictionary of Dahan. Every word you wrote was meaningful. And some insights even I cannot understand. So, you must have a good teacher before. Can you tell me who he is?”“My teacher’s first name is Xianqing, and his last name is Qi. He is the doctor of the Baicao Tan
The Mei Family prepared a good deal of stuff for Mei Ruohan, of which there were several bedclothes. Guo came and helped Su Li after she cleaned up her miss’s room. The three finally cleaned up the yard before dark.“Li, I didn’t expect that you are so deft in housekeeping.” After getting along with each other for one day, Mei Ruohan called Su Li casually and she wiped the sweat on her face and said encouragingly, “It seems that I need to be more independent.” “Ah, Miss!” Guo hurriedly said, “You can’t do such dirty and tiring work. Just let me do it. It is the only thing that I am capable of. I will be thrown out of your home once you learn it!”Guo said so seriously that Su Li and Mei Ruohan laughed. Su Li thought if there were a quick-witted little girl like Guo around her, maybe her life would be more interesting.Guo giggled immediately after hearing the two laughed. All of a sudden, she seemed to recall something and said my
The sudden shout instantly plunged the whole classroom into silence. Many people looked at Su Li who was sitting in the third seat from right of the teacher’s desk.Su Li slowly got up and stood respectfully, then she answered, “I am here.”“You’re Su Li from the Dasu Town?”Madam Yang looked at Su Li up and down. There was a hint of jealousy in her eyes. Then she nodded ostensibly, “You actually have certain attractions. No wonder men in the Dasu Town scrambled for you when you showed yourself in public.”Madam Yang’s words seemed normal, but they were misunderstood right away by other people. They looked at Su Li abhorrently and even Mei Ruohan felt strange.However, she believed in Su Li. Although they got along with each other for only one day, she was deeply impressed by Su Li’s indifferent disposition. How could she be that kind of girl as Madam Yang said?“Su Li…turns out to be wanton and she likes
“Lecturer Cui!”Su Li slightly rose her intonation, and said, “Do not think everyone is as ignorant as you. However, Lecturer Cui is complacent and conservative, so we can understand that she is shallow.”“What are you talking about? You think I am ignorant?!”Madam Yang screamed. She wanted to tear Su Li’s face!“I am the embroiderer artificer of the embroidery workshop in the Muyang Town!”“Even the workshop owner praised me so much that I was expected to inherit her workmanship in this life and become the next workshop owner.”“My level of skipping stitch is only under the workshop owner!”“You are only fifteen years old. The salt I have eaten is more than the food you have. How dare you say that I am ignorant?!”Madam Yang said all this in one breath. Then, the expressions of all the misses in the room slightly changed. It was not easy to work in the embroidery workshop. There
Madam Yang’s second question surprised everyone.It was because the answer was too easy. Mrs Gu was a heroine of the Dahan Country. Therefore, her words and deeds on battlegrounds were recorded and then described in books. As long as people had studied a few years, they all knew the answer.Did Madam Yang deliberately ask this in order to give herself a step?Many people had the idea in their hearts, except Su Li. She clearly understood that Mam. Yang-Cui would not give up so easily!“The war was more than 30 years ago.”Su Li thought of it but said according to Madam Yang’s intention, “General Ling was plotted against by his enemies. The whole war relied on Mrs Gu’s full support. Mrs Gu never failed. She even had time to send a letter home in which she asked whether the Ling Family’s eldest grandson, whose mother had been pregnant for ten months, was born safely. After the war, what this letter said was spread through
