Xiangsheng prosperous

Chapter 10
Tingqin, who left the second room, went straight back to the third room.

"Fortunately, the servant girl did not disgrace her life, and the tasks assigned by the mistress have been completed. The third lady said that it is up to the mistress to arrange for her to go back to her private school." Ting Qin proudly reported to Mistress Tian.

Mrs. Tian nodded: "I know that you have always been quick in handling things, and it was not in vain to spend many years of nurturing by Nanny Song. I have some things to send to Tian's house tomorrow, so please help me."

Tingqin was ecstatic after hearing this, and quickly responded: "Yes, the servant girl obeyed. The servant girl prepared things early in the morning and is on standby at any time."

Tian nodded: "Well, then you go down first. I'm a little tired."

"only!"

After hearing Qin came out of the courtyard, Madam Tian said to the wet nurse Song Nanny who was standing beside her, "Oh, this servant girl, I can't wait to have my heart welded on my face. I can't help my nephew who is so determined. She felt a little sorry for her."

Nanny Song approached Mrs. Tian and said flatteringly, "Isn't the whereabouts of this servant just a matter of a word from the mistress. She is asking for something from you, so she can rest assured when she uses it."

Lady Tian's complexion changed, and she said with a gloomy face: "With her background, it's really whimsical to want to climb the door of my Tian's house. If it weren't for my large number, after that woman left Chang'an, she should have disappeared in the Qiu's house. I still Keeping her is just to see... Forget it, I don't want to bring up old things again. In short, if she does well, I will naturally reward her for the sweetness. If she doesn't do well, then it's second-guessing..."

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Today is the day when Qiu Mo officially resumed school. The private school for women in the Tang Dynasty was generally family education, where the elders of the family or the masters hired by the family taught the women courses on poetry, etiquette, female red, etc.

There were not many daughters in the Qiu family, so some daughters of old friends and relatives wanted to go to school but didn't want to ask for a wife alone, so they asked Mrs. Tian to arrange for them to study together.Of course, such a request, unless the relationship is strong enough, it cannot be done with empty teeth.

In addition to the two daughters of the Qiu family, there are two other ladies who go to school with the distant niece Du Niangzi, the daughter-in-law of the eldest brother of the Tian family.

When Qiu Mo came to the wing room specially set up for their classes, everyone else had already taken their seats.Qiu Mo's position is next to Qiu Li's. She is the second wife of the Qiu family. Although such a ranking is natural, it is also deliberately arranged by Mrs. Tian.

Sitting behind her is a family friend named Zhong, and next door to Mrs. Zhong is Mrs. Du, a distant relative of the Tian family.The one sitting alone in the last row was another lady from a pharmaceutical family: Mrs. Su Qiansu.

Originally, Susie's position belonged to Qiu Mo.

When she first transmigrated here two years ago, she also went to private school for a while.At that time, although other people did not dare to exclude her, because of her introverted personality and the powerlessness of the second wife of the Qiu family, no one was willing to talk to her, and it was even more impossible to reserve the first row for her. .

But no one expected that today, two years later, when Qiu Mo returned to private school, her status in the Qiu family has undergone earth-shaking changes.

I went to "The Book of Songs" today, but the master hasn't arrived yet.Seeing Qiu Li waving at her, Qiu Mo smiled, then walked slowly to the vacant seat beside Qiu Li, and sat down.

Shuang Han also stood beside Qiu Mo, helped Qiu Mo arrange the bamboo slips and brushes, and then began to study ink.

Before Shuanghan finished grinding the ink, suddenly, there was a sound of a hard object falling to the ground and shattering at the back of the wing room.

"Snapped!"

Shuanghan was taken aback, and suddenly looked back, only to see that Mrs. Su's maid was squatting on the ground, picking up the smashed inkstone.Sitting in front of her, Mrs. Du and her maid looked angrily at Mrs. Su and her maid, and Mrs. Du's snow-white skirt was splashed with ink marks.

The servants of the other people immediately went to help, and moved away Madam Du's stool and table, as if they were afraid that they would be stained by something dirty again.

Qiu Mo turned her head to take a look, and quietly asked Shuanghan in a little surprise: "What's wrong?"

Shuanghan shook her head, and replied softly: "My servant doesn't know either."

Qiu Mo glanced at Mrs. Su again, and saw that her eyes were full of tears, her shoulders trembled slightly, but she bit her lips stubbornly, without saying a word.And the servant girl beside her was also nervous, hurriedly packed up the fragments of the inkstone that fell on the ground, and then stood back to Madam Su's side with a pale face.

After a while, the master finally arrived late.He saw the mess of ink flowing on the ground in the back row, but he didn't comment, and just announced the class as soon as he entered the door.

Everyone listened quietly, as if what happened just now had never happened.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

After class, Qiu Mo and Shuang Han walked back to their yard.

"Shh!"

Qiu Mo stopped Shuang Han who was following her and was about to turn around the corner of the courtyard, and motioned her to stop.

Shuanghan stopped in surprise, first looked at Qiu Mo's face, felt that Qiu Mo had discovered what was happening in front of her, and then looked sideways and quietly poked her head.

After a while, she lowered her voice and said, "Miss, there's something going on over there. It seems that Miss Su is crying again."

When Qiu Mo heard this, she frowned and nodded.

Shuanghan listened carefully again, then turned around and made a gesture to Qiu Mo: "My lady, it seems that there is more than one person."

Qiu Mo's eyes flickered, but she didn't speak.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Shuanghan couldn't help reminding her, "Third lady, should we go and see?"

Qiu Mo narrowed her eyes slightly: "Don't worry." After a pause, she added, "We'll talk later."

Shuang Han froze for a moment, and involuntarily followed Qiu Mo's instructions and obediently retreated.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"Susie, you're really going too far!" The voice belonged to Mrs. Zhong.

"You stole Du Xiaoniang's spot, and now you want to hurt her intentionally or unintentionally. The skirt on her body was sewn for her by her mother herself, but you deliberately smashed the inkstone and ruined her clothes."

"I didn't...not me!"

"You're still quibbling!..."

There was only a tearing sound, and then there was the muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and finally there was silence, everything around became quiet...

After a long time, Qiu Mo and Shuang Han looked over, only to see a young girl sitting on the ground, and the cool autumn afternoon made her shiver even more.On the ground covered with yellow leaves, her bamboo slips, brushes and rucksack were scattered everywhere.

This woman is Mrs. Su, she has a face full of shame and indignation, and there are still crystal clear teardrops in her eyes, but she refuses to let them fall, she just clenched her lips tightly, letting the tears sway in her eye sockets.

For some reason, her maid was not by her side, which made her look even more lonely, desolate and helpless.

When Qiu Mo first traveled to the Tang Dynasty, she didn't have much friendship with these ladies in the private school.Even the fifth lady with the same surname Qiu is just superficial.

Anyway, it's the relationship between gossiping in secret and turning a blind eye on the surface. She has seen a lot in the orphanage in her previous life, so it's not unusual.But she didn't realize until now that there were more insidious and harmful forms of bullying.

She and Shuanghan walked over slowly, bent down silently, and helped her pick up the items that had been thrown on the ground.

Lady Su turned her head away from Qiu Mo, her stubbornness and self-esteem made her unwilling to reveal her fragility to an unfamiliar person in this place.

She thought of when Qiu Mo was left out in the cold and squeezed out, in order to protect herself, although she didn't participate, she never interfered.Since she did this at that time, Qiu Mo's help today will only make her despise herself even more.

"Here." Qiu Mo said softly.

Madam Su's mouth tightened even more.She pushed Qiu Mo hard, then ran out with her dusty backpack in her arms.

Shuang Han supported Qiu Mo, who was almost pushed by her, and said angrily after the shock was over, "Why is this person like this!?"

"It's okay." Qiu Mo patted Shuanghan's arm, "Let's go too." After saying that, he continued to walk forward.
