Chapter 57
After all, they are going to live in the same house in the future. Although the three met for the first time, they still wanted to be close to each other.
After the meal was over, the few of them had a little understanding of each other, and their conversations were not as unfamiliar as they were at the beginning, and they were much more harmonious.
It was probably the first time left home and came to an unfamiliar environment. After everyone took turns to wash up at night, they blew the lights and couldn't sleep when they lay on the bed.
Zhen Tingyun thought for a while, leaned his head on the pillow, sniffed the familiar aroma between the quilts, and closed his eyes, recalling the math book he had just read. Because she was not very good in math and learning, thinking about it like this, she really felt a little sleepy.
It was Qian Manyue and Du Qingqing, who couldn't sleep and were in good spirits, so they spoke in a low voice across the long table lying in the middle of the bed. Because they were afraid of shocking Zhen Tingyun, the two of them kept their voices carefully, but, when they were talking, seeing that Zhen Tingyun didn't make a sound, they just thought she didn't care or fell asleep. The voices of the two gradually grew louder.
Zhen Tingyun didn't mind this - remember that when was in hometown in the countryside, it was never too quiet at night. Either the children of the family cried, the husband and wife of the family quarreled, or the widow of the family scolded people with their voices. , even a dog can bark for a while when it is startled by a pedestrian... In short, she has been here for more than ten years, and she has long developed the habit of ignoring external sounds.
However, Zhen Tingyun inevitably listened to what Qian Manyue and Du Qingqing said.
Du Qingqing is a little shrewd and clever from a businessman's family, but she is obviously a girl raised by her family. She really doesn't have any bad intentions. There is love to show off and show off, and talk nonsense more directly.
Of course, it's actually quite easy to get along with such people, just like at the moment, Du Qingqing is so outspoken, he just said a few words, just like he was pouring beans, he told about his own situation.
Du's father was originally a village merchant. Later, he started a business with Du's mother's dowry. He made a fortune and gradually became a big businessman in the local area. Now even Beijing has her family's silk and satin shop. The most rare thing is that Du's father and Du's husband and wife have always had a good relationship. In these years, not only has the Du family's business been prosperous, but also Du's mother has given birth to three sons one after another. stand up. Unexpectedly, Du's mother is over thirty years old, and she has given birth to a little girl, Du Qingqing. Because it is a little girl, Du's father and Du's mother love their daughter, and even the first three brothers treat this little sister very dearly and close.
When Du Qingqing was born, the Du family's business was already quite large. Du's father was a visionary and a visionary. Seeing that his daughter was smart and talented, he naturally had high hopes. Not only did he invite Mrs. , and also spent a lot of money to invite the famous nanny in Beijing. It is precisely because of this that Du Qingqing was able to be admitted to the Kyoto Women's School.
In fact, the Du family is really not short of money, and there are several mansions and shops in the capital. It’s just that Du’s father and Du’s mother have never studied seriously, and they all feel that women’s school is a noble place, thinking that although their family has money, they can Coming to a businessman is cheap and not considered by others, and you still have to ask your daughter to live in a women's school, so that you can get to know more people and make more contacts, which is not good for your own business, but it is still very good for your daughter in the future...
Listening to what Du Qingqing said, Qian Manyue couldn't help but sighed in a low voice, "Your mother and father treat you so well."
Speaking of this, Du Qingqing was also very proud, couldn't help raising the corners of his lips, and hummed, "Of course!"
Qian Manyue was silent for a while.
After a while, she heard her hugging the quilt and crying softly.
When Du Qingqing heard the sound, he couldn't help being startled, and quickly said, "You, what's wrong with you?"
Qian Manyue whispered: "There are six people in my family, my father and my mother, as well as me and my three younger brothers, my youngest brother is only two years old... There are so many people in the family, but my father has no integrity. As a businessman, my mother can't make a lot of money to wash clothes for people, and the family can't even open the pot. Before I came here, I hadn't even had broth for several months..."
While talking, Qian Manyue started crying again, her voice was soft and soft, and it was extremely uncomfortable to hear: "I, my mother borrowed the money for my girls' school, and for this , my mother was beaten by my father. Now I don't know what's going on at home..."
Du Qingqing listened, even more sympathy, and quickly comforted in a low voice.
What followed was Qian Manyue's complaints and Du Qingqing's comforting voices.
Zhen Tingyun just listened casually, and soon became sleepy, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
It was probably because some people recognized the bed, or there were other people in the room, and they were always alert. Zhen Tingyun didn't sleep very deeply this night, and woke up early the next morning. When woke up, it was still a little dark outside, and there was only a little fish maw white on the horizon. Because her bed was next to the window, there was still some light. Zhen Tingyun gently turned over on the bed. With just such a little light, she could just see Du Qingqing on the opposite side of the bed and Qian Manyue on the other side— - The two of them probably talked late last night, and they are still sleeping soundly.
Because he was afraid of waking the two of them, Zhen Tingyun tried his best to keep his movements light, and lightly put on the dress that was folded by the pillow last night for himself.
Speaking of which, Yuhua Women's School and Kyoto Women's School issued skirts for female students, although they were all tops and bottoms, but the colors were still different. Like Yuhua Women's School, Zhen Yiyun wears a blue shirt and white skirt every day, occasionally with silk, the color is very clear and elegant; for example, Jing Tingyun received a red shirt and white skirt, this color is worthy of It is called bright, and it is very arrogant and squeamish when wearing it.
Moreover, the women's school logos are embroidered on the skirts of the two women's schools, although they are inconspicuous, they can still be seen if you look closely.
After Zhen Tingyun changed his clothes, he went out to the closet, brought the washbasin and other items out, and went to the bathroom outside to wash.
It is said that it is early, but in fact, it is not earlier than Zhen Tingyun's rise. When Zhen Tingyun went out, he saw a tall and thin girl in a red shirt and a white skirt, just like her, who was already tidy up. At this time, she was leaning on the edge of the corridor, looking at the book in hand in the morning light outside.
Seeing Zhen Tingyun come out with the water basin, the girl nodded to her as a greeting, and then lowered her head to read.
Zhen Tingyun took a deep breath, the air in the morning is always moist and fresh, and when he inhaled it into his lungs, his mood became much better. Zhen Tingyun thought to himself: After all, the study atmosphere here is better than at home. It is not too difficult to have food, drink and shelter. She was in a good mood, and her movements were brisk. After washing, she went into the room. Seeing that it was late, she called out a few more times because she was afraid that the two of them would be late.
Qian Manyue was woken up first, and then called Du Qingqing again. There were two girls in the room. You said I was laughing.
Most of the girls of this age have soft and crisp voices, and when they talk and laugh, they sound like birds chirping, which makes the originally quiet house seem relaxed and happy.
Zhen Tingyun waited for the two to change their clothes, then opened the window, took a book and sat beside the bed to read, and said, "Stop talking, go wash first while there is no one in the bathroom. .Wait, let's go to the cafeteria to have breakfast together, and after breakfast, we have to choose courses."
When he entered school yesterday, Zhen Tingyun had a general understanding. The first day after the start of the school is actually relatively loose. In the morning, you choose courses. In the afternoon, you go through the process to visit the teachers of the courses you have chosen, get the books of each course, and then copy the timetable according to your own situation, and prepare for the next day. Things you need for class. Therefore, the next day was the day when the women's school officially started classes.
However, with the exception of classics and history and etiquette, which are required courses for every female student, the number of other courses is fixed. The room is small - this is the reason why Zhen Tingyun called Qian Manyue and Du Qingqing.
Sure enough, after a while, Du Qingqing and Qian Manyue had already washed and cleaned up. Du Qingqing was more careful. After washing, he had to take out the balm and rub some on his face.
Qian Manyue looked a little envious, and couldn't help but glance at it several times.
Du Qingqing was originally rich and not stingy. Seeing this, he pushed the balm he had used and still had more than half of the box to Qian Manyue, and said, "Do you want to use it? I'll give it to you, anyway. I still have..."
Qian Manyue blushed, hurriedly lowered her head, and whispered, "Thank you, thank you."
Du Qingqing also smiled and took a new box to use.
Qian Manyue's fingers gripping the balm box tightly followed, and due to the excessive force, her fingertips couldn't help but turn blue and white.
Zhen Tingyun glanced at the two of them and sighed secretly: One thinks too little, the other thinks too much... I'm afraid that even good intentions will bring revenge.
However, Zhen Tingyun just thought so, and his thoughts quickly returned to the book in his hand.
Qian Manyue and Du Qingqing also remembered the matter of choosing a course in the morning, and they were embarrassed to tell Zhen Tingyun to wait for a long time. They quickly tidied up, and the three girls went to the dining hall to have a hurried breakfast together, so they rushed Course selection in the past.
When the three of them arrived outside the women's academy, there were already quite a few girl students wandering around to choose courses. All of them are wearing red shirts and white skirts. They move back and forth on the corridor, the skirts are fluttering, the red shirts are bright and bright, and there is a warm breeze on the front.
Speaking of which, there are a total of 100 freshmen in this class, divided into three classes, A, B, and C, with 30 students in Class A, 30 students in Class B, and 40 students in Class C. Zhen Tingyun was lucky when he took the entrance exam, and he did well in the exam. It was only now that she remembered and asked Qian Manyue and Du Qingqing about the class assignments, and found that both of them were in Class A, so she had a bottom line: this dormitory assignment might also be based on grades. It was because the three of them had similar grades and were in Class A, that they were assigned to the same room.
Of course, Zhou Qingyun and Yang Qionghua, who met on the day of the entrance exam, should also be in Class A.
Zhen Tingyun passed by now, but happened to meet an acquaintance.
It's not anyone else, it's Yang Qionghua.
Although Yang Qionghua was a military general, he was more petite than his peers, and his facial features were sweet, which perfectly matched this red shirt. At this time, she was standing against the railing, with black temples and snow skin, red shirt and white skirt, very beautiful and very conspicuous. She saw Zhen Tingyun at a glance, her eyes lit up, she waved at first, and then ran up impatiently, unexpectedly enthusiastic.
Who knows, Yang Qionghua said at the beginning: "In addition to the two subjects of classics and history and etiquette, which are mandatory, every female student must take at least six sub-courses. Tingyun, which ones do you want to take?"
Before Zhen Tingyun could speak, Yang Qionghua begged softly: "Would you accompany me to choose between Yu and Shooting? Otherwise, no one will accompany me to these two..."
To be honest, the two classes of imperialism and archery are really not very pleasing among female students. Especially when they were admitted to school, they had already taken the Six Arts exam. Some girls felt that they could barely fool themselves with Yushe. Only Yang Qionghua was born in the general door, and the family told her that she must choose Yushe, otherwise she would be beaten, so she chose these two courses with a bitter face.
People, a person is always a little lonely, Yang Qionghua stayed here early in the morning, waiting to find a few acquaintances, coax people to accompany him to study, at least he can have a companion.
As a result, after waiting for Zhen Tingyun to arrive, thinking of Zhen Tingyun's two armors in the imperial shooting, Yang Qionghua was naturally very enthusiastic and would not let her go.
Zhen Tingyun couldn't help but look at his two roommates.
Qian Manyue misunderstood her eyes, and shook her head quickly: "I can't succeed in my shot. This time I was lucky enough to get two B's, so I won't choose this one."
Du Qingqing was also led astray, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "I don't like Yushe very much either."
Yang Qionghua looked at Zhen Tingyun eagerly, waiting for Zhen Tingyun's words.
Zhen Tingyun couldn't help but sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll accompany you to choose Yushe." Then, with Du Qingqing and Qian Manyue, he said, "Then you can choose by yourself, I'll go first."
Yang Qionghua was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled Zhen Tingyun to register at the course selection office of Yushe.
Qian Manyue and Du Qingqing had no choice but to nod and watched Zhen Tingyun leave. Together, they wandered back and forth in several courses such as Dihua, incense making, calligraphy, painting, chess, and dance—compared to the unpopular Yu She. When it comes to Yang Qionghua, these are the real hotspots, and there are so many people to choose from.
Zhen Tingyun wrote his name on the registration form of the two courses of Yu She, and then began to think about what to choose for the remaining four courses.
Before, Mrs. Chu specifically explained that she had to spend more time on books and music, so books and music must be chosen.
However, when Zhen Tingyun finished registering the book, when he went to the music department, he found that the music department also had various musical instruments.
Yang Qionghua explained to her: "The entrance exam is based on the foundation. Once you have the foundation, female students will recognize that you have the qualifications for in-depth study, and you are allowed to study. And one of the music, there are many musical instruments, as the so-called greed and can't chew It sucks, if you learn too much, you will be distracted, but in general, you just need to pick a subject that you are proficient in and study deeply."
Zhen Tingyun frowned, then solemnly wrote down his names on Qin and Xiao.
Yang Qionghua: "...you can choose two courses at once, it will definitely be very hard to learn."
Zhen Tingyun said, "I wanted to learn the piano when I was a child, and I definitely couldn't give it up; as for the flute, it was taught by my husband, and of course I couldn't give up halfway." At least, the purple jade flute that Yuan Hui gave me, She mustn't let it go to waste.
Yang Qionghua had no choice but to say, "Okay."
The two chose as they walked, and Yang Qionghua chose books, piano, chess, and paintings in addition to Yushe.
In addition to riding and shooting, Zhen Tingyun chose books, piano, flute and painting. After the selection, he remembered the spices that Yuan Hui had prepared for himself, and tentatively asked Yang Qionghua, "You said, at least six sub-courses are selected, so if you choose more than one, there should be no problem, right?"
Yang Qionghua said casually: "From the point of view of the rules of women's school, there is no problem. But if you choose one more subject, you will need to take another test. If you do well in the test, you will be fine. If you fail the test, you will graduate a year later—you I also know that the youth of a girl's family is the most precious thing, so I can't just delay it year after year..."
Zhen Tingyun nodded, hesitating for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and chose the door system incense.
Yang Qionghua: "..." I'm talking about feelings in vain.
Thinking that Zhen Tingyun chose Yushe with her, Yang Qionghua was still a little moved. When she was moved, she also chose the incense stick with her teeth, with a very loyal look: "I will accompany you!"
Zhen Tingyun suddenly felt that Yang Qionghua was really good.
In this way, it is considered that the course has been selected. In the afternoon, I have to go to the classroom to meet my husband, and the husband will return the salute and give them a list of textbooks and the items required for the course. This is the complete course selection process.
Neither Zhen Tingyun nor Yang Qionghua were entangled people. There was still a lot of time left after the selection, so the two found a seat on the side to talk.
I have to say that even though haven't seen each other for a long time, Zhen Tingyun's gossip attribute of Yang Qionghua is quite impressive.
Sure enough, at this moment, Yang Qionghua pulled Zhen Tingyun to talk about Zhou Qingyun's gossip quietly: "You don't know, Zhou Qingyun has passed the Liujia test this time, and it is considered a famous name, and there are more people who go to Zhou's house to propose relatives. I heard that even Princess Yan liked her very much, and she even invited her to speak at the residence..."
Zhen Tingyun is not very strange about this - in fact, when Zhen Yiyun in the dream was able to marry into Prince Yan's mansion, her reputation as a talented woman obviously played a role. From this, it can be seen that when Princess Yan chooses a daughter-in-law as a mother-in-law, talent learning is indeed a key point. The only thing that is strange is: Zhou Qingyun in the dream should have also passed the exam, and the family of Zhou's family is much higher than that of Zhen's family. Zhou Qingyun also faintly overwhelmed Zhen Yiyun, so why did Princess Yan abandon Zhou Qingyun and choose Zhen Yiyun in the end?
Such questions just flashed through my mind. Zhen Tingyun quickly separated again, and then turned to ask Yang Qionghua about the women's school.
Yang Qionghua said: "The class will start tomorrow, but I won't talk much, just let everyone get used to the situation of the women's school. Then, on July 5th, the two schools will take the joint examination. After the test, it will be the Qixi Festival, and the women's school will take a day off. , it's fun to have a garden party."
When Zhen Tingyun heard it, he couldn't help but be very interested, so he asked, "Garden party? Is there anything fun?"
Yang Qionghua grew up in Beijing. Although she just entered school, she also visited the women's school garden party in previous years, and said with relish: "As long as you have bought tickets, you can enter the park. All the money will be donated in the end."
