Chapter 7 First Encounter (1)
A rare expression of satisfaction appeared on the face of the old lady: "You have never studied, how do you know that deer milk is offered to your relatives?"
Ning Yue raised her red face and smiled sweetly: "I heard it from my elder brother when I was young."
Ning Xi raised his chin: "I also know the story of deer milk serving relatives. Tanzi's reputation for benevolence and filial piety spreads all over the world. Even Confucius once asked him for advice, and later he became the king. When the Zhou royal family gradually declined, The world was in turmoil due to wars and encroachments among the great states, and although Tan was a small country, it was quite famous, and it was because of the political achievements, talents, and virtues of benevolence and filial piety of the monarch Tanzi that he won the hearts of the people."
It's okay if she doesn't show off, but when she shows off, the whole family is stunned.
Ning Yue is just a sick child who hasn't read a book all day. How embarrassed is she to compare her strengths to others' weaknesses?
The smile of the old lady gradually faded: "Baozhu."
Baozhu blessed: "Old lady."
"Bring me the set of the Four Treasures of the Study with the inkstone inkstone."
"yes."
After half a quarter of an hour, the orb turned back, and there was an extra brocade box in his hand.
The old lady put the brocade box into Ning Yue's hands: "When your eldest brother was alive, he was very knowledgeable. Everyone praised him as a child prodigy. Your grandfather made an inkstone by himself and wanted to give it to him... Now that he is gone, I give them to you in the hope that you will be as diligent as your elder brother."
Ning Xi's complexion changed, what did the old lady mean by this?
"From tomorrow, you and your sisters will go to the academy together."
Walking out of the Fushouyuan, Ning Xi's lungs were about to explode. She didn't expect the old lady to allow Ning Yue to go to school. Isn't this clearly slapping her in the face? People outside thought she was the orthodox daughter of the fourth wife. Once Ning Yue left, wouldn't that mean announcing to the world that she was only half a daughter?
Lin Yonghe was also very angry. She proposed that Ning Yue could not go to school. The reason was that Ning Yue was too weak and too tired to go to school. Fortunately, the old lady let Ning Yue go to school without asking her!
It’s all right for her to be humiliated, and more importantly, once Ning Yue enters school, she will contact other people. What if she wants to divorce after hearing the remarks that are not good for King Yinjun?
"No, I have to find a way, and I must not let her enter the school!"
"Hey, what are the fourth siblings talking about here? Is Yue'er going to school, so she is very happy?" The second lady came over charmingly, and the third lady was with her. After listening to her words, the third lady was very cooperative She sarcastically said, "Second sister-in-law, why do I see that the fourth sibling looks unhappy? Could it be that...she doesn't want Yue'er to go to school, does she?"
Lin Yonghe was stabbed so that his heart was furious: "Yue'er is not in good health, I am worried that she will make something bad."
The second lady laughed: "Are you worried that she will find out that you have found a fire pit for her?"
Lin Yonghe's eyes were tearing apart: "You..."
The second lady's eyes turned: "Or are you worried that Yue'er will compare your daughter? That's right, people who haven't studied are better than those who have read. If you have to study, some people... just stand aside!"
Ning Xi was so angry that his body trembled.
The second madam laughed wildly, took the third madam's hand, and said quietly: "It's a great joy for Yue'er to enter school, and we, as aunts, have to show it."
When Ning Yue returned to Tangli Courtyard, congratulatory gifts from the second and third wives were also brought over. They were a set of pure gold hair masks and a blue and white porcelain vase respectively.
Ning Yue wasn't very interested, so she let Mother Zhong put it in the warehouse.
Mother Zhong was very happy when she learned that Ning Yue could go to school: "Did the pastry make the old lady happy?"
