The Mei family prepared a lot of belongings for Mei Ruohan, including several beds of bedding and sheets. After Guo'er cleaned up the house for her young lady, she also ran over to help Su Li. The three of them worked together and finally cleaned up the yard before dark.
"Ah Li, I didn't expect you to be so efficient at work." After a day together, Mei Ruohan's title became more casual. She wiped the sweat on her face and said encouragingly: "It seems that I will have to be more independent in the future. OK."
"Oh, Miss!" Guo'er suddenly became anxious, "How can you do such dirty work? Leave Guo'er alone. Guo'er can only do this. If you even learn this, I will be kicked out. The lady’s home!”
Guo'er's serious expression immediately made Su Li and Mei Ruohan laugh. Su Li thought to herself that if there was such a quirky little girl around her, maybe life would be a lot more interesting.
When Guo'er heard the two laughing, she immediately started laughing stupidly too. Suddenly she remembered something and said to Su Li mysteriously:
"Miss Su, you don't know. Just now, Guo'er went out and heard that your sister lives in a villa more than two miles away from the college. The monthly rent there is only two hundred taels, but if you want to not be late for class, you have to be very early. You have to get up very early to catch up!”
Su Li was not surprised when she heard this. Zhu Yan doted on Su Zipei very much, but she had already spent almost all her money and could not spend so much money to live in another courtyard with a good location. Maybe Su Zipei asked for this courtyard.
In the evening, the three of them had dinner and rested separately. A lot of things happened during the day today, and Mei Ruohan and Guo'er were both very tired.
Su Li's innate body didn't matter even if she didn't sleep for several days and nights. She meditated and exhaled all night and woke up on time in the morning. After getting up and washing up, she went to the kitchen to cook a pot of corn porridge of suitable thickness. She also used local materials to prepare the fillings and made three crispy sesame pancakes. With the seasonings she brought with her, the aroma of the sesame pancakes immediately increased. A whole new level.
"smell good!!"
Guo'er stretched out and got up. Before he even walked to the kitchen, he sniffed hard. His face couldn't help but show confusion, and he almost lost his soul.
"Guo'er, what did you make for breakfast today? It's so delicious."
Mei Ruohan walked out of the room without even putting on her clothes, her eyes sparkling like a little glutton.
Guo'er shook his head and said, "Miss, you see it's not dark yet. I just got up. Where can I get breakfast?"
"I see..." Mei Ruohan looked disappointed, "It seems to be the fragrance from the yard next door. I didn't expect it to come here."
Guo'er nodded with deep understanding. If it weren't for the fact that they were not familiar with each other, she would have wanted to go next door to ask for some breakfast and come over to try it.
"Miss, please sleep a little longer, Guo'er is also going to make breakfast."
Guo'er said, opening the kitchen door, and was instantly overwhelmed by the richer aroma. She stared blankly at the vague figure in the steaming mist of the kitchen, and suddenly screamed in fright.
"ah!"
Mei Ruohan was so frightened that she rushed out of the room and grabbed Guo'er's hand tightly, saying in a panic: "What's wrong, Guo'er, don't scare me."
She was only sixteen years old, and it was her first time to go out, so she was already frightened. Guo'er made such a cry, which naturally frightened her.
Guo'er held Mei Ruohan's hand with her back, pointed to the kitchen and said incoherently: "Ah! Miss, look, it's our kitchen, it's our kitchen!"
As he spoke, Guo'er's mouth actually had a hint of sparkle, it smelled so good, I wanted to eat it so much! !
At this time, Su Li walked out of the kitchen and was startled when he saw Mei Ruohan, the master and the servant, and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "What are you doing standing here?"
Mei Ruohan glanced past Su Li, trying to see clearly what was going on in the kitchen. She held back her saliva and asked, "Ali, can you cook? What do you cook? Why does it taste so good?"
Su Li smiled sweetly when he heard this, "I'm staying here with you, how could I not show any sign of it? It just so happens that I know how to cook. I just took matters into my own hands. Don't blame me."
"No wonder, no wonder!" Before Mei Ruohan could say anything, Guo'er shouted first: "Guo'er and Miss are too late to be happy. Guo'er has never asked for such a fragrant breakfast in her life, it must be delicious! My family The young lady is the most gluttonous!”
"Guo'er!"
Mei Ruohan's face turned red when Guo'er said it, and she pretended to be angry.
Su Li laughed dumbly and said hurriedly: "Since you are all awake, let's wash up and eat, so as not to taste cold."
When the two little girls heard this, they immediately nodded in unison and ran back to their rooms.
"Miss, please run slowly, I will help you wash up later!"
"No, I'll do it myself!!"
Su Li stood in front of the kitchen, feeling strange. This feeling... was like having two pets.
However, the appearance of these two girls made her depressed mood a little lighter.
After a while, Mei Ruohan and Guo'er both finished washing up. Su Li brought out breakfast and put it on the table. One sesame seed pancake for each of them was just right. Guoer served the corn porridge to the two of them, then stepped aside and swallowed secretly.
Servants have servant rules. She has to wait until Su Li and Mei Ruohan have eaten before she can eat.
Mei Ruohan smiled when she saw this, filled another bowl of corn porridge, and hummed: "Come here, this is not home, there are so many rules."
Guo'er was happy when she heard this, but still didn't dare to come over.
Rules are rules. Su Li is also a young lady in the family. How could she dare to sit at the same table without her permission.
Su Li was startled for a moment, then shook her head and laughed. She waved to Mei Ruohan's expectant eyes and said softly: "Come and sit down. I have never treated you as a servant, Xiao Guo'er."
When Guo'er heard this, her eyes became hot for some reason and she almost shed tears. Even the young lady never said such a thing to her.
Su Li pursed her lips slightly. This situation was never similar, but her situation was different from Guo'er's. In her previous life, she was clearly a young lady of the Su family, but she couldn't eat at the same table as her parents. No one treated her the same way she treated Guo'er.
Guoer sat down and wiped her hands. Picking up the sesame seed cake and biting it, it made a crispy sound. The shrimp roe filling wrapped in refined salt mixed with the aroma of the whole grains exploded on the tip of the tongue and turned into an indescribable sweetness.
"Well… "
Mei Ruohan stared at the sesame cake in her hand. It looked similar to the ones sold outside. How could Su Li make it so delicious
Guo'er almost bit her tongue. She had never eaten any delicacies before. She didn't even eat many ordinary sesame cakes sold in the town. To eat such delicacies all at once, she was so happy that she wanted to shed tears. God... Oh no, Su Miss Li was so kind to her!
After eating a bite of sesame seed cakes and another bite of moderately hot corn porridge, Mei Ruohan seemed to be opened up by this simple breakfast. She suddenly woke up from the sleepiness in the morning and became full of energy. .
"Ah Li, the food you cook is so delicious. If you don't become a female official in the future, you can definitely make a lot of money by opening a restaurant!"
Mei Ruohan's eyes were full of admiring little stars, "However, I believe that with your talent and learning, if you participate in literary competitions, it will be easy to become an official!"
Su Li shook his head, "It's not that easy. Stop talking. It's almost time for class, let's go quickly."
Mei Ruohan screamed in surprise and realized that the time was almost at midnight. She and Su Li immediately picked up their books and ran out of the courtyard, leaving Guoer alone to look after the house.
After getting along for a day, Mei Ruohan's eyes when she looked at Su Li changed a lot. As long as she was around Su Li, she would feel very at ease. He was obviously one year older than her, but why did he look more like a child in front of her.
Mei Ruohan was amazed in her heart. Sure enough, there is a world outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. Compared with Su Li, her excellence seems dim.
You have to work harder!
The first class in the morning was literature. Su Li and Mei Ruohan came to the door of Class A separately. When Ning Yunzhi saw it, he immediately showed a kind smile and said, "You are here, quickly find a seat and sit down."
Ning Yunzhi's performance immediately caused many surprised eyes to fall on Su Li, but no one asked questions. Instead, they suppressed their thoughts and resumed studying their homework.
Su Li sat down and took out Dahan Tongzi to review.
Ning Yunzhi couldn't help but nodded slightly when he saw this scene. Although the class A he led could not be compared with Su Li, each one had gone through many tests before standing out.
It can be said that every young lady from aristocratic families who can sit here is an outstanding woman with good appearance, intelligence, and good conduct. It is not impossible for her to embark on an official career and bring honor to her ancestors in the future.
After morning reading, Ning Yunzhi began to give lectures. Given his age, he had extremely rich experience. Every time he talked about something exciting, he could always draw inspiration from it. The students who listened were fascinated, and even Su Li learned something.
While Su Li was listening to the class carefully, Ning Yunzhi was also secretly observing her. After the class, he admired Su Li even more. She was able to achieve such achievements in talent and learning at a young age, but she was not arrogant or impetuous, and she still worked very hard. This is His xinxing is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and Master's vision is really good.
After the first one, Ning Yunzhi left without talking to Su Li, so as not to offend others. As soon as he left, many classmates immediately came up to inquire about the truth. Su Li dealt with it with ease, then turned and left the teacher who was going to the second class, leaving a group of girls secretly shouting.
Su Li looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but his ability to deal with people was very sophisticated. They chatted for a long time, but they didn't get any useful information.
Following the information on the wooden sign, Su Li found the classroom for the second lesson. When she entered the door, she saw dozens of rust tables.
The second lesson is embroidery.
Although a few women from Dahan Kingdom entered the imperial court and a very few became military generals to charge the country, the vast majority of women were still vassals of men. After marrying their husbands, they assumed the responsibility of caring for their husbands and raising their children. Therefore, the skill of female workers must be It is indispensable. If you can master embroidery well, it can also reduce the financial burden on your husband's family.
Su Li glanced at everyone present and saw Su Zipei and Mei Ruohan at a glance. Classes are divided for studying, but embroidery is not affected. The people sitting together to listen to the class and study are still the same group of people who entered the school with her.
Su Li sat down, and not long after, a thin and tall noble lady walked in from the door. This woman had high cheekbones, lips as thin as a piece of paper, and a pair of slender eyebrows. Although her makeup was relatively delicate, it was... People feel extremely mean.
"I am your virtuous woman and embroidery teacher." The woman's voice was as sharp as her appearance. "You can call me Lecturer Cui, or Mrs. Yang. But... I personally would rather hear you call me Mrs. Yang."
As she spoke, Mrs. Yang showed a bit of pride. After hearing this, several local ladies from Muyang Town in the room changed their faces slightly. There is only one famous Yang family in Muyang Town, and this lecturer Cui can step into the door of that family... It is indeed something to be proud of.
But such a naked show off revealed Mrs. Yang's inner inferiority and shallow personality. Can such a tacky woman really be their teacher
For a time, many people were suspicious.
Mrs. Yang was not aware of what everyone was thinking. When she saw the expressions of those young ladies from aristocratic families, she felt even more proud and began to teach. Her voice was the only one left in the class.
After half an hour, the contempt on many young ladies' faces disappeared.
Being able to enter Muyang Academy as a lecturer, Mrs. Yang's knowledge in embroidery is indeed admirable, and the Han embroidery of Dahan Country was vividly described in her mouth.
Although the ladies from various families practice letter embroidery at home, they know little about these systems. Mrs. Yang talked about the history of Han embroidery and the techniques of Han embroidery, which made up for their shortcomings.
After a brief introduction, most of the class time had passed. Mrs. Yang took a breath. The students below thought she would continue talking, but she changed the subject and asked:
"Who is Su Li? Come forward!"
