The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 575 Shu Yajing's Confession
How to live happily in life?

This is a question that Shu Yajing never thought about before coming to Beijing.

In her opinion, it is a blessing to grow up in a wealthy family without any worries, and live like the predecessors with rich clothes and good food.

Whether you are happy or not, there is no way to know without comparison.

Until I followed my sister and married into Kyoto.

According to the rules, she was born in a mountain city and grew up in a mountain city. She has her own parents in her family, so she shouldn't have lived with her sister in the Yongxing Hou Mansion.

However, the situation in the family is complicated. Although my father is the chief official of the mountain city, he is famous because of relying on the family, so he is subject to the family. Even though he is quite assertive to the outside world, but whenever the elder brother who is the patriarch asks for it, he will definitely obey in everything.

In the early years, the third brother was not yet born, and the parents who were over forty years old had only their two daughters, so the clan decided to adopt the second son of the third uncle as his heir.

A few years later, the third brother was born.

Ordinarily, the situation of their heir brother has been somewhat embarrassing since then.

But I don't know how the patriarch's uncle and third uncle talked with her father, but her father insisted on keeping his promise and treated her as the eldest son.

Although honesty is great, but to the third brother, it is somewhat unfair.

If it's just like this, it's fine, the big deal is to teach the third brother well, let him be self-reliant, and rely on the imperial examination to rise to the top.

However, that heir brother has great ambition and talent but is good at sweet talk, so that his father thinks that he is good at management, so he trusts him very much.

Originally, according to her brother's arrangement, the younger brother would follow the eldest sister to the capital, and take advantage of Sheng Guogong's mansion and Yongxing Hou's mansion to be attached to the Imperial Academy, while she would choose a family from a family in the mountain city to marry.

At that time, she was ignorant and didn't know the pros and cons. It was her elder sister who told her that most of the gentlemen from the mountain city family were dandies, mediocre and slutty, and they were not good matches.

After a lot of hard work, the third brother was sent to his grandfather's house to study, and then he took her away from the mountain city to the capital.

……

Shu Yajing looked at the bright moon outside the window and exhaled lightly.

In her heart, it was her sister who tried her best to drag her out of the quagmire of possible disturbances regardless of difficulties; therefore, whether she liked her sister's idea or not, she could only be grateful.

She remembered that since the third brother was born, her elder sister had divided their family into two factions. In her mind, the third sibling and younger brother belonged to this branch, and the third younger brother was the future of this branch.

She originally thought that her sister was just annoyed that her father valued the family more than Xiaojia.

But since when, it became her sister's obsession that their siblings were more successful than the entire Shu family.

They are more promising than all the clansmen, they want the Shu clan to rely on their brothers and sisters, they want the domineering patriarch to be obedient, they want their siblings to be ashamed of each other, they want their third uncle to flatter and flatter them, and they want their father to admit that they have no eyes. ...My sister's obsession seems to be increasing every year.

She didn't know if her sister was under more pressure because of this; but she felt more and more out of breath.

Even, in front of her sister, she often had the urge to escape back to the academy.

But every time this impulse arises, she always blames herself and gives up, feeling like a wolf with white eyes.

Such repeatedly intertwined but opposing emotions often made her feel sleepy and confused, sometimes feeling lifeless.

It wasn't until she opened her eyes to look at the girl in the Hou's mansion that she realized that the girl can live so flamboyantly.

Putting aside her prejudice and stubbornness, and earnestly exploring the beauty of the other party, she realized that the original capital is very different from the mountain city, and it turns out that girls can also control their own lives.

It turns out that walking out of the backyard like Mr. Lang, learning what you want to learn and doing what you want to do is freedom and happiness.

"Miss, it's time to go to bed." The maid's reminder made Shu Yajing wake up from her thoughts, blinking, feeling the coolness between her nose.

"Okay." Shu Yajing changed from the couch to the Babu bed, but the envelope she held in her hand did not let go from the beginning to the end.

There is a bronze palace lantern in the Babu bed.

This lamp is very interesting. The candle is very bright under the synergistic effect of the lampshade. Turn the lamp to the left to turn it off, and turn it to the right to turn on the lamp. If it is accidentally knocked over, the candle will go out by itself, and the entire palace lantern will be closed without any gaps. .

With this palace lantern shining, with the bed curtains closed, Babu can also read books and practice calligraphy in the bed and become a female celebrity.

"Miss, don't read the book for too long, watch your eyes carefully." Before the maid put down the tent, she still reminded her carefully, even if she wanted to accompany her outside the tent, she would remind her from time to time.

Shu Yajing smiled and said yes.

It wasn't until the bed curtain was put down that her gentle smile turned into sadness.

You don't know the height of the mountain without climbing it yourself, and you don't know the distance of the road without trekking in person.

It was also after Shu Yajing came to the affiliated school of Yunqi Academy, saw the elegance of the various colleges, and saw the path that girls can walk, that she understood how high the mountain is and how far the road is.

It is precisely because of this insight that she feels extremely guilty and ashamed of the mistakes she almost made because of being obsessed with power.

She thought that with good teachers and helpful friends as companions, her future life might not be very exciting, but it would definitely be very fulfilling.

She thought that with the breeze and moon as her companion, her future deeds might not be great, but they would definitely be valuable.

She thought... She thought that she could hand in the recommendation letter generously given by her husband, and that she could find a job in the Imperial College that she never thought of since she was a child, didn't dare to think about it when she came to Beijing, and wanted to try it not long ago.

She thought, she thought... that she could live a life without pointing at men or relying on her husband, even if this life was not rich enough.

It's a pity that after an imperial decree came down, she didn't need to be self-confident.

From then on, her life had a definite date. She just wanted to jump out of the life of an ordinary woman, but she backhanded this imperial decree.

This result made her vacillating heart feel at ease in an instant, but it also lightly freezes the colorful picture in front of her that is about to come true.

Shu Yajing thought, after all, she should be grateful.

If she hadn't come to Beijing with her sister, if it hadn't been for the tolerance of Yongxing Hou and his wife, if it hadn't been for the generosity of Emperor Jinghe, she probably wouldn't have been able to have the current situation.

Shu Yajing thought, she should still be content.

If she hadn't come to Beijing with her sister, if she hadn't lived in Yongxing Hou Mansion, if she hadn't entered Yunqi Academy, she probably wouldn't have been able to enjoy the colorful, colorful and free life.

"That's good! Very good! Really good!" Shu Yajing finally let go of her hand, caressing the letter of recommendation that Mr. gave her but she didn't hand it over carefully.

Gently opening her round box for important items, Shu Yajing hesitated for a moment, opened the least frequently used layer, reluctantly put it in, and then locked it.

What was then locked in was the aura she once wanted to chase after the clouds, the dream she wanted to explore but couldn't catch up with in the end, a hearty dream that was difficult to calm down but enough to comfort her life!
