married daughter

Chapter 80 Because We Are the Same Kind of People
The day's classes were over, and it was almost time for school to end, but Mother Zhen summoned all the girls in Qinfangzhai.

Except for the 17 girls who entered Qinfangzhai Middle and Primary School this year, the remaining 20 girls are all under the age of 19. Many of the girls who made good marriage plans have already left and are not continuing to take the exam.

37 girls in pink jackets and skirts stood neatly in the courtyard, it was really a winding scenery of shy Xiahua.

Aunt Zhen wore a bird blue brocade beanie with double-breasted and round neckline, her hair was combed in a big bun, gold bracelets were inserted obliquely, her back was straight, she walked dignifiedly and calmly among the crowd, and said in a soft voice: "Girls The most important Moon Festival in Daliang Kingdom is just over a month away. This year, as before, our Fengxian Academy will prepare a song and dance performance to be sent to the palace, and perform in public at the Moon Festival dinner to show off the talents of the women in Fengxian Academy. "

Isn't going to the palace to perform for the emperor's relatives a shortcut to the top of the branch?Mother Zhen's words stirred up thousands of waves, and many girls' faces were moved.

Mother Zhen passed in front of Ruan Yunting, glanced at her, and said: "There are 37 girls in our Qinfangzhai Primary School, not everyone has a chance to be selected, tomorrow's "Shangle Bureau" The female officer will come to our academy in person to teach you all, and whether you can be among the nine candidates for the group dance depends entirely on the luck of the girls. Come on, I'm done talking, let's leave."

"Yes, thank you Mammy."

All the girls dispersed after saluting together, all discussing the dance.

Luo Shimin held Ruan Yunting's arm, and the two walked down the steps together.

"This kind of thing is an obvious opportunity for people to climb high." Luo Shimin said in a low voice: "I heard that there are several girls in our elementary school who have reached the age of eighteen. There was a dance on the moon and eve festival once."

"Yes." Ruan Yunting sighed softly.How could she not understand?Although she only studied in Fengxian Academy for half a year in her previous life, she also learned to dance Yuexi.Otherwise, how could he be favored by the Jun family?
In fact, learning to dance is not difficult for her. She has studied ballet for several years in modern times, and Madam Cao has taught girls to pay attention to body shape, and she has never neglected to practice in her past and present lives, let alone her body now. The condition is excellent, not only has a photographic memory, but also has excellent motor skills and physical fitness... However, is she really going to participate in this disguised "draft"?Does her life's happiness really depend on a man?

"Ting'er, what are you thinking?" Luo Shimin gently shook her hand.

Ruan Yunting turned around abruptly, looked up at Luo Shimin's handsome face, pondered for a while, and said, "I'm wondering if I want to dance this dance."

Luo Shimin stopped in doubt, carefully looked at Ruan Yunting's increasingly charming face, and said in a deep voice: "Ting'er, you may not like what I said, but it's the truth. Brother Ming and I are engaged, I don't think about this dance, but if I don't get married, I will definitely try it. As a woman, isn't the best way out is to find a good man? Being a noble family, being the head of the house, this is Our fate."

Ruan Yunting frowned slightly, and her voice was soft with doubts: "Is this really the inevitable fate of all women? Isn't it okay not to enter a noble family, not to be the head of the house, not to participate in the battle in the back house?"

"Silly girl!" Luo Shimin poked her forehead with some distress, "You are always transparent, why can't you think clearly about this matter? Whether we are following Madam Cao or Madam Zhen, the skills we have learned are how to do it How can a good wife be qualified to be the mistress of the house? The better she learns her skills, the more noble her family will be, and the smoother her future will be. Aren't you also studying hard?"

Yes, she learned.

Ruan Yunting nodded slightly dejectedly, and asked Luo Shimin to leave first, while she walked towards Zhongqin Pavilion.

She needs to be quiet.The academy after school can at least give her a moment of peace, she needs to think about the way out for the future.

Sitting cross-legged behind the table, plucking the strings of the piano with one hand at random, looking at the green bamboos outside the open window, feeling confused.

Since returning to work, she has been conscientiously learning the skills that every woman should have. In fact, what she thinks in her heart is just like what Luo Shimin said. Only by possessing these skills will she have more money in the future. Make your own happiness.

She has experienced three lives, and she has seen all kinds of changes, but she still has some fantasies about love.She longs for undivided love, longs for equal returns for her contributions, and longs for the happiness that only envies mandarin ducks but not immortals.But the gap between dream and reality is always far away.She cannot ask ancient men to have the idea of ​​equality between men and women, that is unrealistic.It was even more impossible to imagine how he would survive without the Xu family.

Young and beautiful, no martial arts, no self-defense, no skills, and no money.If she leaves the shelter of the Xu family, let alone looking for a job, she might be sold into the Goulan Courtyard in no time.Wouldn't life be worse than death by then?
No matter what, she has to survive...
Unconsciously plucking in the hand, the zither sound is smudged, spreading out with full of melancholy, the piano pavilion under the sunset is plated with soft gold, sprinkled on her lonely figure through the open carved wooden window, plucking the strings The snow-white hands look like ceramics, revealing a gentle halo.

Ruan Yunting frowned, and pursed her red lips lightly, as if she was holding back tears, a song "It's Hard to Farewell" learned in her previous life was played by her as if to sob.After playing a song, his fingertips turned red.Suddenly, there was a burst of applause behind him.

Ruan Yunting turned her head in shock, and the man in white robe turned his back to the setting sun, and slowly walked in, with surprise in his low voice, "I didn't know, you are good at this."

"Mr. Xiao?" Ruan Yunting hurriedly stood up, and the melancholy disappeared just now, leaving her face full of embarrassment. She wanted to ask how long he had been here and how much he had heard, but she couldn't speak for a while.

Xiao Beishu's dark pupils were like an abyss, locking her in.The smile on the lips was less teasing and more probing, "Miss Ruan, who did you learn that song from?"

Ruan Yunting shook her head, not knowing how to answer.

Xiao Beishu didn't think about anything else, he only thought that the person who made the qin music had a weird temper and didn't want to let outsiders know, so he saluted and said, "Miss Ruan, can you please teach me the melody just now?" China is very respectful and cautious.

Ruan Yunting was a little surprised.With Xiao Beishu's current status, he could order her to write down the score, but he was different from others, he was willing to put down his dignity, and was a student with her, and he was still a woman who humbly asked for advice.

No wonder everyone said that he has a weird temper and is different from the people nowadays. Thinking of his number one scholar, he dared to contradict the emperor in front of the palace, and now he can only teach in Fengxian Academy.Although she also thought he was reckless, she secretly admired him.

"Okay, Mr. Xiao is an expert, so I'll play it again."

"Very good." Xiao Beishu looked happy, and shouted outside: "Lan Zhou, come in quickly, and help me remember something."

Is Jun Lanzhou here?
Ruan Yunting looked sideways at the door, a tall and thin young man came steadily, and sat cross-legged opposite her with Xiao Beishu.

Originally playing in front of the unfamiliar Xiao Beishu, she could let go.But now facing Lan Zhou, he knows her very well. Will he wonder why she suddenly knows how to play the piano?Will you mention it to the people in Xu's mansion?

When he was struggling, Jun Lanzhou's deep male duck voice said gently: "Miss Ruan, there is no need to worry. Brother Xiao and I are just obsessed with the sound of the piano, and we will not tell outsiders about this matter."

Does he have mind reading skills?Ruan Yunting's charming big eyes rolled around, and she glanced at the stunning young man as if annoyed. In his captivating peach blossom eyes, it was rare to see no ridicule and banter, but sincerity in his eyes.Ruan Yunting finally settled down a bit.With lowered eyes and quiet heart, he played again.

In this concentration, the song "Farewell is Difficult" was talked about smoothly and sadly by her.Jun Lanzhou's long eyelashes drooped slightly, and the expression in his eyes was unclear.Xiao Beishu stared straight at Ruan Yunting, his excitement undisguised.

After playing a song, Ruan Yunting said: "It's getting late, I'm going back."

"Oh, good." Xiao Beishu only responded, then moved the piano to his lap, and tried to play it by himself, without any intention of paying attention to Ruan Yunting.

Jun Lanzhou stood up and said with a smile, "Miss Ruan, I'll take you down the mountain."

Note that he didn't call himself "little one", and his tone of voice no longer had the previous humbleness. After Ruan Yunting and him left the piano pavilion, they asked curiously: "Lan Zhou, but Master Jun recognized you as a foster son?"

Jun Lanzhou was stunned, and blurted out: "Why do you ask that?" As soon as he finished speaking, he understood it, and said with a smile: "Miss Ruan thinks the same thing, I am humble, and I am not qualified for admission, but fortunately Master is kind, Brother Xiao is willing to help, because of their relationship, and I promised Master to continue studying with Master Ying in the academy, so I reluctantly entered the academy."

He said it lightly, but Ruan Yunting could understand the hardships he had gone through.In the ancient times when the hierarchy was strict, it might not be as simple as he said to be able to enter Fengxian Academy as a servant.Among them, there must be some other things that she doesn't know, but it can be seen that he is indeed working harder than everyone else.

When the two came to the foot of the mountain, Jun Lanzhou sent Ruan Yunting to Xu's carriage.Ruan Yunting nodded her head in thanks, but just as she got in the car, Jun Lanzhou hesitated to speak.

"Miss Ruan."

"Huh?" Ruan Yunting held up the car curtain with one hand and turned to look at him.

"The girl seems to be haunted by melancholy. In fact, when you think about it carefully, there is nothing in this world that you can't get through, let alone a hurdle that you can't get through. The past is too bleak, don't think about it, tomorrow is too far away, let alone worry about it, just live today , It’s good to live well in the present. Tomorrow’s affairs have tomorrow’s time to worry about, and there is no point in wasting today’s time.” Jun Lanzhou said with a faint smile, and the smile on his stunning face is more irresistible than the warm sunlight.

"You...why did you tell me this?" Ruan Yunting looked at him without blinking, Jun Lanzhou was not a talkative person.

Jun Lanzhou smiled again, and said naturally: "Because I am the same kind of person as the girl." Then he saluted: "Miss, go slowly."
