The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 382 Sisters' Conversation

Before going to bed, Shu Yajing didn't prepare for bed as usual, instead she sat by the window and looked outside in a daze, even her sister Shu Shi didn't know that she came.

It was Shu Shi who coughed on purpose, and she reacted sluggishly.

"You grew up in a mountain city, and your family also hired a female teacher to teach. You also studied in a mountain city girls' school for a few days. Why do you expect so much from the Kyoto academy?"

Mrs. Shu sat on the couch next to her, picked up several documents introducing the Kyoto Academy sent by Mrs. Zheng, briefly flipped through them, closed them gently, and put them aside: "If you really want to read, My sister will send you to those academies that nobles often go to. Although they are not official schools, the resources are much better than official schools.

My sister has already inquired about it. Official schools place too much emphasis on grades, and not on students' backgrounds. You will be easily wronged when you go there. It is better to go to the academies that the elder sister mentioned that the nobles often go to.

Although our Shu family lives far away from Beijing, our family has a long history. Several generations of imperial courts have famous officials from the Shu family. Our family is not an unknown person in this capital.

Also, the Marquis of Yongxing has a great reputation in the capital. When you go to those academies, just make friends with the girls from a good family and manage your own contacts. In the future, whether you choose a son-in-law from a noble family or participate in the harem election, it will benefit you and future. "

Shu Yajing's earnest words sounded a bit bland to Shu Yajing's ears.

Before coming to Kyoto, she thought the same way. Books are boring, far less interesting than flowers, plants, fruits and trees.

But after entering Beijing and coming to the Yongxing Marquis Mansion, she gradually discovered that the life of a young girl, or in other words, her hobby of flowers, plants, fruits and trees, can also become her career in a dignified hall.

It's a pity that she couldn't tell her eldest sister what she was thinking.

My sister wants to slowly operate in the familiar field she is good at, and resist all changes that may subvert her ideas, insights and future.

And she, in the conflict and confrontation between the old system and the new rules, is like a solitary boat among the waves, tossing and swaying violently.

"I think Yunqi Academy is pretty good." Shu Yajing summoned up her courage and hurriedly raised her eyes to look at her sister. Before she could meet her eyes, she lowered her eyes, holding the introduction document of Yunqi Academy tightly with both hands. .

"..." Mrs. Shu was a little displeased when she saw her heartbeat, "Sister Jing, if you go to Yunqi Academy, will you also apply for the imperial examination later?"

"I don't have that ability, so I don't dare to think about it." Shu Yajing whispered.

Shu took a breath, and said patiently: "Yunqi Academy has students from all backgrounds. You are a noble girl, don't you really want to work in the fields like those mud legs? If you meet like-minded people , do you really want to marry? It’s not that my sister is unreasonable, but you are destined to rise with the wind, why bother to add to your emotions?”

After she finished speaking, seeing her younger sister bowed her head and said nothing, she said: "Sister knows, you see that sister An and sister Yuan in the mansion live differently and are also moved, but I don't know that among the nine girls of the Sheng family, only two of them are different. Not to mention sister, just talk about sister Yuan.

The old man who favored Mrs. Chang put her in his heart, and went to the mansion to pay his respects. Mrs. Liang said in front of Mrs. Chang that the old man's private treasury would be given to Sister Yuan in the future. Taking a share of the pie, although these words are suspected of being provocative, but looking at the expressions of Mrs. Liang and Mrs. Chang at the time, I know that these words are probably true.

Not to mention the master and wife of our Hou Mansion.The wife said that she entrusted me with the housekeeping power of the mansion, but before entrusting it, she divided the property of the mansion into four and handed it over to me. It was for your brother-in-law, and the two elders left a share The usual income was added to the public house, which was regarded as food for their family of four; the remaining two were given to each of the two girls as a dowry.

Also, the Queen Mother in the palace loves Sister Yuan very much. When I attended the banquet with the outside, I heard the children of the royal family laughing, saying that the Queen Mother intends to grant Sister Yuan a title.

Think for yourself, who can learn from her?

Which girl is ostentatious outside and causing trouble, and everyone has to coax her?After offending the prince, he still lives in style, and the emperor and queen mother in the palace are not at all unhappy?

Sister Yuan is living a good life, but there is no place to copy and learn.If it is really enlightening, it is because of her good background.You should seize the opportunity and rise above the clouds, so that your children can be like Sister Yuan, who are destined to win many talents from birth. "

Shu Yajing had never heard her sister analyze these things in such detail before, so after hearing these words, she was in a daze for a moment.

Seeing that she was almost done, Shu stood up and patted her on the shoulder: "For Sister An and Sister Yuan, the imperial examination is just a game of tickets. They don't care about fame at all. any impact.

Especially Sister Yuan, with her reputation, how many magistrates don't know her relationship with the royal family?Who doesn't know that she is the empress dowager's treasure, and the emperor is very filial, and he loves this cousin very much, that's all, as long as sister Yuan doesn't answer too badly, the name of scholar, some people will send it to sister Yuan hand.

Sister Ya, think about it carefully, do you have such resources?Have such reliance?Have such ability? !If not, how could he be moved by her difference? "

Speaking of this, she was not going to continue, took her sister's hand, led her, and sat on the edge of the bed: "Okay, think about what my sister said, this mansion really puts you in your shoes, besides sister Can anyone?
Others give you advice, but you are just being a good person. Only your sister is the one who considers your life's major events. Even if you don't like to listen to your sister's nagging, you should understand her painstaking efforts.

Alright, you are tired today, rest, if you have something to say, we can talk about it tomorrow, okay? "

Coaxing her younger sister to sleep in a soft voice, Shu helped the maid back to her room, sat down in front of the dressing table, and let out a deep breath.

The confidant maid gave her a massage to loosen her hair: "Young mistress, the second miss is just curious for a while, and you will be at ease when you figure it out. Don't worry."

Mrs. Shu snorted softly, closed her eyes and said slowly: "We are the only three siblings in our family, and Da Geer is still young. Our sisters' development should be based on stability. Only when we sisters stand firm in our respective positions can we help you in the future." Fu Dage revitalizes the Shu family. Sister Ya... this is a heartbreak."

The servant girl said in a low voice: "It's also because the two girls in the mansion are acting too ostentatiously, which attracted the attention of the second lady."

"Who wouldn't be envious of being able to live as you please?" Shu shook her head, "It's because they have such capital... To say that they have this capital, they might as well make good use of it, it's better than flirting with a group of gentlemen outside Climbing and rolling, just offended vulgarity."

Seeing that her face looked better, the servant girl hurriedly responded: "Although I am ignorant, I grew up with our mansion, and I also know the difficulties of imperial examinations and official careers. How can a girl be able to control it?! The two girls in this mansion The future is unknown, but my uncle's resources have been divided for nothing... It's better to be a noble girl down-to-earth, and earn confidence for myself and our uncle."

"Don't say this anymore. If you let the masters and wives in the mansion know, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you." Shu opened her eyes, helped her to stand up, and walked towards the bed curtain, "Mr. Tell me, I just need to take care of the middle class, and he takes care of his sister... I will remember this, and you should also remember it. "

The servant girl answered yes softly, waited for Mrs. Shu to lie down, and then blew out the candles and took a nap on the couch in the outer room.

Mrs. Shu found a comfortable position to lie down, and said to herself like a babble: "Is the favor of the royal family so easy to enjoy... The emperor wants to hold the women's imperial examination, how can they not support it?"
