Chapter 110 Do you support my imperial examination?
How could Xu Xi want anything belonging to the Wei family? Not to mention that the system had already found out her life experience. She was the daughter of the eldest lady, not the second lady. Even if it was found out that she was indeed the daughter of the Wei family, she
I don’t want to get involved with the Wei family.
In the previous life, most of the original owner was destroyed at the hands of this woman.
"No need, second madam. The eldest madam has made me a lot of clothes, and I have enough clothes to wear. I am growing tall now, and I am growing fast. These clothes will not fit me next year. There are too many.
It's also a waste. You might as well give it to Miss Six."
Xu Xi said this, not bothering to mess around with Mr. Wei, so he dropped the words and walked inside, walking very fast.
"You, are you still weird? Ugh..." Wei's whimpering sound came from behind, as well as the voice of Grandma Li comforting her.
Qing Feng followed Xu Xi, and when she was far away from the Wei family, she whispered worriedly: "Girl, you will be gossiped about like this."
Xu Xi said: "Never mind her."
Everyone sympathizes with the weak, not to mention the aunts and mothers in the house who are just mothers, and they can't stand it when someone disrespects their elders.
In their view, no matter how bad things Wei did originally, such as carrying the wrong child, and Xu Xi slapped her again after she came back, there are all parents in the world. Wei Shi would always lower their profile to please Xu Xi.
Well, as a daughter, Xu Xi's attitude is still so tough. It's really outrageous. Maybe it was because she was rude to contradict Mr. Wei that Mr. Wei slapped her in the mouth.
Reputation is the most important thing for women in ancient times. Once Xu Xi's reputation for being unfilial and rebellious spreads, she will never find a good husband-in-law in this life - who mother-in-law would marry such a daughter-in-law? Is she worried about her longevity?
But this trick didn't work at all on Xu Xi.
When Xu Xi was about to reach Rong Xi Hall, she met a rough lady from Rong Xi Rong. She quickly asked her: "Is Miss Six back?"
"I'm back. It's been a while since I got back." The old lady said with a smile on her face, "Fifth girl is a little late today."
"There was something going on in the academy, so I came back late." Xu Xi explained.
When the old lady walked away, she turned to Qing Feng and told Qing Feng: "Go and inquire. If the sixth lady has left the old lady and there are only the old lady and the eldest lady in the main courtyard, you can come and report to me. I will go back first."
Mingju is waiting for your news."
"yes."
The two separated on the road, Qingfeng went to Rongxi Hall, and Xu Xi returned to Pinmingju.
After a while, Qing Feng came back and said: "Sixth Miss said goodbye and went back. The eldest lady is helping the old lady pass the food."
Xu Xi stood up: "Come with me."
When the two of them arrived at the Rongxi Hall, before they could salute, the eldest lady asked, "Why are you back so late today?" Her face was full of worry and concern.
"Master Cui from the academy came to ask me something." Xu Xi saluted the two of them and sat down with them bowing their heads.
"What's the matter?" the old lady asked.
Xu Xi talked about the imperial examination and said, "I didn't dare to promise Master Cui. I came back and asked you two first."
"You mean, you got first place in the Four Books and Five Classics exam?" the old lady asked in surprise.
Xu Xi nodded: "Master Cui said so, but he hasn't announced it to the class yet."
"That's right." The old lady said.
Because Beining is a county under the capital, it has an advantageous geographical location, plus the flat terrain and fertile land there. Many wealthy families in the capital have Zhuangzi fields in Beining. The Suiping Marquis Mansion also had fields there before. Later, the Duke of Guo fell ill and the mansion
Things happened again, big and small, so the village there was sold.
When Jinshang ascended the throne, he awarded Beining to Princess Shangde as a fief. I heard that it caused a commotion in the royal family. This shows how coveted this place is.
Because of this geographical advantage and the reputation and status of Princess Shangde, it is very convenient for the Beining County Women's College to hire famous teachers from Beijing. The teaching staff is stronger than that of many women's schools in provincial capitals. Many of them come from wealthy families.
The lady, who is also full of knowledge, is willing to accept the appointment of Beining Women's Academy as long as she is not bound by household chores and has no political or personal conflicts with Princess Shang De.
Not only them, but also the elderly officials with Jinshi background.
Because Xu Xi studied at Beining Women's College, the old lady specially sent someone to learn about this college. She knew that Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Xiao, etc. in it were all wives of wealthy families.
A person of this status would naturally not joke with Xu Xi about the imperial examination.
Thinking of this, the old lady looked at the eldest lady and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that a reading seed would come out of our Marquis Mansion."
It turns out that the Duke of Guo was a military general. It was only because Zhao Yuanxun was in poor health and the old lady suppressed the concubine that no one in this generation went to serve in the military.
Zhao Jingli, the eldest of his generation, has just turned fourteen. He only practices martial arts with the martial arts masters at home, and plans to find a job in the army when he is older. As for the battlefield, because each house does not have many heirs, his sons are all.
One or two, naturally reluctant to let them go.
If a military general does not go to the battlefield, his future will be the same. At most, he will just hang around in a false position.
It's not like the old lady and the eldest lady haven't thought about letting their children take the imperial examination, but Zhao Jingli wants to become a nobility, and Zhao Jingtai is a naughty boy who can't sit still. He has made several invited teachers angry and walked away. How can they hope?
As for the children of the second and third bedrooms, they did not show particularly good reading talents, and the old lady and the eldest wife did not expect them to be more promising than the eldest children. Therefore, Zhao Yuanliang and Zhao Yuankun did not mention it, and they were happy to pretend to be confused.
Both generations were incompetent in literature and military affairs, so the decline of the Hou Mansion can be imagined.
Now that Xu Xi has appeared, even though she is a woman, the old lady is still pleasantly surprised.
The way the eldest lady looked at Xu Xi was different from the old lady's. It contained complex emotions that even the eldest lady herself couldn't explain clearly.
"What are your plans? Do you want to go?" asked the eldest lady.
In the past two days, Xu Xi also thought about this problem, and then nodded and said: "You can give it a try."
It doesn't matter whether you marry or not in this life, it doesn't matter if you marry someone who is suitable for you. The big pig's hooves are unreliable and they may break up. But she thinks it is still possible to have a child of her own to raise.
It doesn't matter if she gets married and has children, but it is impossible for her to stay in the back house all her life, even if she is killed. She must go out for a walk, do business to make money, or do something else.
In this case, it would be very logical to gain some fame by taking the imperial examination, and not only be able to change one's name and walk around outside, make money and do business, or teach in a women's school.
"Then go take the exam." The doctor said.
Xu Xi blinked.
