Chapter 107
"Okay, okay, don't say a few words, it would be bad if you were heard by Mr.
After all, this is a classroom, and the next is the most disciplined and strict etiquette class. The girl who started to speak was somewhat scruples in her heart, but the cold-faced girl with the highest spirit who spoke softly persuaded her to go back.
After everyone returned to their respective places, the girl subconsciously glanced at Zhen Tingyun, then raised her swan-like neck and returned to her position with her chin raised.
The girl's surname is Wu Mingyue, and she is the direct descendant of the third room of the Duke's Mansion. Her grandmother, Princess Shou'an, is the younger sister of Emperor Xiaozong.
I remember when the regent Fu Changxi returned to Beijing, the imperial family in Beijing was lively for a while, especially the princesses who were too long and the eldest princess of Huiguo, all lined up to introduce the girls to Fu Changxi first, and they all persuaded him to go earlier. If you get married, even if you only have a side concubine, you must at least leave an heir. Princess Shou'an was very enthusiastic about this, and even the Duke of Wu's mansion made some limelight because of this, which was quite eye-catching.
Wu Yue's background, others see that she is also a young lady from the palace, and she is really precious. But she knew her own family affairs, and Wu Yue's heart was clear in her heart: Wu Guogong's palace was gradually empty, and there were no contemporaries in the family, so an ancestor like Princess Shou'an could rely on. But Princess Shou'an is at this age. Even if she eats and drinks well, and takes good care of her, how many years can she live? However, Wu Guogong's mansion can't just go down like this, the more empty it is, the more pretentious it is, so the whole family just takes out the splendid posture of the year, and still communicates with the old and old according to the previous pomp, and gradually they are almost exhausted. , but now there is only an empty shelf left.
Because of this, Princess Shou'an is even more committed to finding a backer for a bunch of ineffective children and grandchildren in the family before she dies, so she tried so hard to send a granddaughter to Fu Changxi, a nephew.
Wu Yue still remembered the few words she overheard when the Prince Regent had just returned to Beijing, taking a nap and hiding behind his mother's screen—
"Princess is also true, how can you think of it like this. When our girl goes out, she has to call her cousin when she sees the regent. Where can I get married?"
"My wife, the old slave dared to say: You're thinking about it wrongeveryone outside is saying the rules, but this royal family is the most unruly place, the princess is like this, I'm afraid the regent is the same. What's more, the princess too long must not dare to think about the position of the princess - if you choose the princess, I'm afraid it won't be our family, and even the girls in the long room are not qualified. The princess is just trying to find a side. Concubine, why don't you just pick people from the second, third, and fourth rooms, that's the girl who doesn't move to the long room?"
"...The dignified state's mansion, the dignified princess, don't even have a face?! No matter how decent the side concubine is, isn't it also a concubine? Anyway, I can't ask my sister Yue to do it for others. Concubine's!"
"Aiya, madam, why are you on the horns! How can this concubine of the palace be called a concubine? That is also going to be on a jade plate! Besides, with the status of the regent now, with such a character, talent and appearance, there is no one around. Concubine, if you really want to be able to marry and be a side concubine, there are not many girls in the capital who are vying for it - that is, there is a princess in our family who can say a few words in front of the regent, that's why there is such a thing. Opportunity. Think about it, if there is a side concubine in our room, will the brothers and sisters not follow suit? It is the princess too long and the people in the long room, I am afraid they will look down on us three. Fang Yi! If my sister is lucky enough to give birth to a child to the prince, even if it is not the heir, it will be an inexhaustible blessing for the rest of her life."
"...you're right."
The sages all say, "If you have enough food and clothing, you will know the etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you will know the honor and disgrace." For example, the Duke of Wu’s mansion is not lacking in everything from top to bottom. It is not necessary to be shameless or shameless, but in the face of huge interests, even parents can betray their children.
At that time, when Wu Yue heard these words, she only felt that her heart was cold, as if she swallowed a mouthful of ice slag in the winter and twelfth lunar month, and her heart was cold to her body: What about Concubine Side? Could it be that the side concubine who is on the jade plate is not a concubine? Her own mother was also born in a scholarly family, and she spoke of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and wisdom. She often hugged Wu Yue's daughter and called her heart and soul, saying that she and her two younger brothers were treated in the same way. The results of it? Her own mother despised Princess Taichang for sending her granddaughter as a concubine to the nephew of the regent, and felt that the palace and Princess Taichang were shameless... When she turned her head, she heard people talking about the interests of this place and felt this matter. is "justified".
Wu Yue turned back and cried secretly under the quilt, angry at her grandmother's partiality and her mother's unkindness... As she cried, she thought: If she becomes the concubine of the regent in the future, she must return to Wu Guogong in a bright and beautiful way. House, and then tell those people in her parents' family that she has long known about their insidious calculations, and she will never let them get a little bit of cheapness from her in this life!
It's a pity that when I woke up from the dream, it was nothing in the end - the regent didn't even see her at all, let alone Concubine Nasa. For this reason, Princess Shou'an became discouraged and fell ill. Wu Yue's own mother, the third wife, also sighed a little. After thinking about it, she was glad that she didn't tell her daughter. .
Only Wu Yue asked her to be a concubine, and she felt hatred in her heart; the prince regent ignored her, and she felt that she was despised and insulted.
In particular, it didn't take long for her to hear that the eldest princess of Huiguo personally acted as a matchmaker, told the second girl of the Zhen family for the regent, hired her as the princess, and even fixed the wedding date.
Wu Yue didn't dare to hate the elders in the family, didn't dare to hate the high-ranking regent, and even didn't dare to hate the matchmaker Huiguo eldest princess, but only Zhen Tingyun - there is a saying that "some people can accept people from afar. Become a king, but can't accept the neighbor's hen laying an extra egg", Zhen Tingyun and Wu Yue are in the same class, their family background is not as good as Wu Yue, and their grades are not as good as Wu Yue... How can Wu Yue be convinced? How can you not feel resentment?
It's just that Zhen Tingyun is the future princess after all, with the regent standing behind her, she can't afford to offend her, and her family even encouraged her to get close to this future princess after they knew they were in Class A. Therefore, Wu Yue could only secretly hide her resentment in her heart, until something happened to Zhen's house this time, she felt so happy, and as soon as she entered the classroom, she couldn't wait to tell it to the girls she had been friends with in the past.
Naturally, some of these girls were jealous of Zhen Tingyun in the past, and Wu Yue was happy to say a few words at the beginning; some felt that something happened to Zhen Yiyun, and she was sent back to her hometown last night. Zhen Tingyun, who is her sister, is still looking as usual today. The girl who came to the women's school for class is cold-blooded, so of course have to sneer a few words at this time; there is also the cold-faced girl at the end, who is simply of high character, because the matter of Tzu Chi Temple is disgusting, and feel that such a thing happened, Zhen Tingyun is still as if nothing has happened, it is really shameless.
In fact, the folk customs of this dynasty are still quite open, and the students in these women's schools are not cold-hearted, and no matter how high-minded they are, they will not force people to die in order to be completely innocent. But most of them were born in high-level mansions and raised in the splendid piles all their lives.
So, now that such a thing has happened suddenly, they all feel disgusted when they hear it, and they still hope to stay away from these filthy people. Naturally, they hope that Zhen Tingyun will not dangle in front of them. If something happened to my sister, who knows if something happened to my sister?
At the beginning of the discussion, Wu Yue still had some scruples, for fear of being discovered by Zhen Tingyun, the true master. However, Wu Yue naturally lost her vigilance when she was talking and seeing the crowd, and she became louder as she talked.
Even if Zhen Tingyun found out, Wu Yue didn't stop talking, but she was even more proud and secretly thought: they are not scolding people by name - if Zhen Tingyun really dared to come up to question and make a noise, they only need to ask lightly, "We Did you poke into your wound, and you need to be seated in such a hurry?" You can throw the question back, I'm afraid that Zhen Tingyun's face will be even more ugly then.
However, they are backed by the Prince Regent. Wu Yue and other girls said that they really didn’t want to offend people too hard, so they used the excuse of going to class to go back to everyone. heard that something happened at Tzu Chi Temple. Afterwards, the Zhen family sent their eldest daughter back to their hometown overnight. It can be seen that they were eager to cover up the scandal, and Xian Zhen Tingyun didn't dare to make a fuss about it.
Yang Qionghua was right next to Zhen Tingyun, and he was so angry when he heard these words, he resisted and did not rush to reason with others, gritted his teeth and said to Zhen Tingyun, "Don't pay attention to them! How heartbreaking they are talking about each and every one of them, In fact, it is just jealous of you, taking the opportunity to satirize!"
Yang Qionghua said "jealousy", and then his eyes glanced at Wu Yue's face.
Du Qingqing added fuel and jealousy on the side: "That's right, it's only the village women in the village who are in a hurry to talk about things like this - thanks to some people who still have the face to be arrogant and call themselves talented women, they have such a 'dirty' mouth, shut up. A 'shameful' talented girl?"
That said, it's just full of hatred.
Several of the girls present were all flushed, with round eyes, gritted their teeth in anger.
As the focus of Yang Qionghua and Du Qingqing's attention, Wu Yue blushed even more, and felt that her face was about to be stepped on the ground. When she got angry, she simply reached out and put the scroll on the table, and asked in a cold voice, "Yang Qionghua, Du Qingqing, how did you talk?"
Yang Qionghua smiled sweetly at her: "Oh, Wu Yue, what are you anxious about, did I tell you?"
Du Qingqing praised Yang Qionghua very politely, and continued: "Do you need to be seated like this?!"
Wu Yue almost blushed and was so angry that she was speechless—they didn't name anyone when they spoke ill of people just now, thinking that if Zhen Tingyun was angry, they could use this to ridicule her for taking the right seat! As a result, Zhen Tingyun didn't interrupt, but Yang Qionghua took this to ridicule them!
Probably really angry, Wu Yue simply gave it up and sneered: "I need to be jealous of her? In the joint entrance examination between the two schools, she was the bottom ninety-eighth - thirty of us in Class A. , that's why she was the worst in the exam, she didn't have any self-knowledge, she had been in the class for a long time... that's funny!"
Yang Qionghua replied unhurriedly, "You seem to be doing well in the test."
As the top of the last joint entrance examination between the two schools, Yang Qionghua is naturally qualified to say this.
When Wu Yue said this, she only felt that her face was burning badly, it was aching, and her heart was burning even more. She took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently, and it took a while for a voice to come out of her teeth: "Yes, I can't beat you for the top spot, but I also took the 36th exam, at least better than Zhen Tingyun. Bar?"
As Zhen Tingyun's roommate, Du Qingqing thought of Zhen Tingyun's efforts to stay up all night and work hard these days, and couldn't help but say, "I don't know, this time you won't be able to do well in Zhen Tingyun's exam."
Wu Yue immediately retorted: "Impossible!"
Du Qingqing stuck out her tongue at her: "Don't talk too much—the joint exam between the two schools in early September will be released in the afternoon. If Tingyun is better than you in the exam, what will you do?"
Wu Yue is still three words unequivocally: "Impossible!"
Yang Qionghua still has some understanding of the general grades of Zhen Tingyun and Wu Yue - if Wu Yue played worse this time, and Zhen Tingyun worked harder, he might not be able to pass Wu Yue. However, after all, this requires a bit of luck, so Yang Qionghua did not directly say anything like Du Qingqing, but calmly said: "If Tingyun is better than you in the test this time, I hope you can honestly apologize. , Honestly admit that you are jealous of her, so you will speak ill of the Zhen family when you have nothing to do."
Wu Yue turned her head away and snorted coldly—the last time she was in the 98th place, how could she have passed the test?
There was someone behind Wu Yue who whispered: "Who would be jealous of her—could it be jealous of her counting down in the exam class, jealous of what happened to her sister, jealous of her being stupid, stupid and unlucky..."
"Hahaha." Someone couldn't hold back and laughed.
Indeed, apart from being lucky enough to be valued by the Prince Regent and betrothed to the Prince Regent, what else is there to be jealous of Zhen Tingyun? Now that something like this happened to the Zhen family, maybe the regent will consider resigning after hearing about it - after all, heard that the two sisters of the Zhen family went to the Tzu Chi Temple together, so how could they just be the sisters? thing?
Everyone thought in their hearts, looking at Zhen Tingyun's eyes full of scrutiny and curiosity.
Du Qingqing was about to get angry again, but Zhen Tingyun pulled Du Qingqing with his left hand and Yang Qionghua with his right hand, pulling both of them out.
Even though Du Qingqing has always been big-hearted, he knew that no matter which of those girls, the status was higher than his own, the businessman's daughter. But she was still going to be pissed off by those people, so she couldn't help turning her head to stare at Zhen Tingyun: "What are you pulling me for?! Are those people's words still human? It's just pissing me off!"
As she talked, she was also a little angry at Zhen Tingyun's inaction, and said angrily: "Why don't you speak? Just watching me and Qionghua make you a success?!"
Zhen Tingyun blinked at her. A pair of apricot eyes were black and white, clear and bright like the best crystal beads. A sly look flashed in her eyes, and although her voice was deliberately lowered, it still carried a little sweetness and tenderness that is unique to a girl: "Why are you drooling with them?! They are not because of you. Just a few words and I feel ashamed, but I actually piss myself off..."
"Then," Du Qingqing calmed down a little and asked hesitantly, "Then what are you going to do?"
Zhen Tingyun's expression did not change, his eyebrows were curved, and he was still smiling: "Of course, I am going to complain to Mr.
Du Qingqing: "...that's not good."
She was still a little girl after all, and she felt that there was a quarrel between her peers, and it would seem like a big deal if she went directly to the teacher. There is always a feeling of being slandered behind the back and not very loyal.
Zhen Tingyun was not ashamed at all, just said: "I'm doing this for their own good. At least before they graduate, I have to ask a husband to teach them a lesson and teach them some worldly knowledge, so that they can be sensible."
Du Qingqing: "...do you care about such trivial matters?"
Zhen Tingyun: "It depends on how you talked to your husband." After a pause, Zhen Tingyun said again, "The next session is Mr. Zhu's etiquette class, which is just right to say this."
Du Qingqing suddenly felt that Zhen Tingyun might really be a little expert who complained.
Yang Qionghua was a little bit suffocated just now. At this time, he was listening to their conversation. He couldn't help but roll up his sleeves, put his palms in his hands and laughed: "Okay, go and sue them! Ask Mr. to teach them!"
After a pause, Yang Qionghua turned his head to look at Zhen Tingyun again, his eyes seemed to be looking at how many pounds of pork on the pad.
Zhen Tingyun said alertly: "What happened to you?"
Yang Qionghua showed regret and sighed, "If you can pass Wu Yue in the joint entrance examination between the two schools this time, and step on her where she is proud, that will be the real relief!"
Zhen Tingyun thought about it for a while, and then said, "I estimate that this time around 40. If Wu Yue still gets 36 in the same exam as before, I'm afraid I really can't compare to her!"
There was no one around, and Yang Qionghua didn't have to pretend to be a girl anymore. Hearing this, he reached out to take Zhen Tingyun's shoulder.
Yang Qionghua was born petite, shorter than Zhen Tingyun, and at this time, he stretched his arms around the shoulders and had to stand on tiptoe.
On the other hand, she still has to show the style of a tiger girl, tiptoed to embrace Zhen Tingyun's shoulder, raised her chin, and hummed: "Thirty-five counts as forty or so! You can fight for a bit, at least This time, I have to step on her with all my might!"
