"Girl, why is she like this?" Fu Shu was very dissatisfied with Xu Xi's attitude, "Why do you ignore her? In this house, who else can talk to her except the girl? Look at her frivolity."

Zhao Ruyu sighed softly: "It was because of me that she stayed in that place for more than ten years. Isn't it right for her to hate me?"

"Can you blame the girl for this? It's not what the girl wanted. If she wants to blame, she can only blame her adoptive mother." Fu Shu was loyal to Zhao Ruyu, so he naturally preferred to speak to his own girl.

She looked at the direction Zhao Ruyu was heading and asked, "Are we going back now? How should we explain to the madam?"

"Tell the truth. If the old lady doesn't summon you, can I take the initiative to come forward? What good will it do to me if you come forward?" Zhao Ruyu smiled, "It's just a few words from the madam. It's not like I haven't heard it before. Just listen."

"When the list of the Capital Girls' College comes out and the girl's name is on it, I'll see if Madam dares to scold the girl at will." Fu Shu's face showed an expectant look.

Although Zhao Ruyu said nothing, his eyes shone with hope.

She was reborn a month ago, and all her energy after her rebirth was spent on getting identity documents. After thinking of many ways, she knew that she would basically not be able to get the identity documents without going through the hands of the old lady and the eldest lady, so she simply

She tried to find a way to attract the attention of the second young master Pingnan Hou in advance, so that both the old lady and the eldest lady would pay attention to her.

After her life experience was exposed, she tactfully expressed her worries to the old lady. She was worried that the Pingnan Marquis Mansion would dislike her background and expressed her desire to enter a women's college. Although the old lady did not believe that she could really pass the exam, she

I still got her identity documents.

The day before yesterday, she successfully passed the exam for a girls' college.

The old lady was worried that she would fail the exam and be laughed at. Before the results came out, no one said anything except the eldest lady.

But Zhao Ruyu knew that she would definitely pass the exam.

In her previous life, she married Pingnan Hou's second son, and later became his wife. She also knew some of the formats of the women's college entrance exams. Although the questions were asked in different ways every year, and the format was so unexpected that people had no idea how to prepare. But as long as

If you have a good heart, you can always see the clues.

In addition to character, the Capital Girls' Academy also has very high requirements for talent and learning. In her previous life, in order to win over her husband, she spent a lot of time on talent and learning. Among today's noble ladies in the capital, she is now considered outstanding. But she still has

There was no chance for her to show off. But with her talent and knowledge, and knowing the secrets of taking exams, she would have no problem getting into the Capital Girls' College.

She is very confident.

In this life, she must live better than in the previous life.

At this time, Xu Xi was drinking tea and eating snacks in the old lady's courtyard. The Hou Mansion had a cook, and the snacks he made were much better than the ones he bought when he went shopping with Xu Yongyi and his daughter that day. They were made of fine materials and fine workmanship, and there were also

There are many things Xu Xi has never eaten.

The old lady has now taken a liking to Xu Xi's temperament. This child seems to be soft-spoken rather than tough-minded. Xu Yongyi's family is good to her, and she never forgets that family. Wei's family is not good to her, even if she is her own mother, she

He didn't even give him any face.

So no matter what she was thinking in her heart, on the surface she was very kind to Xu Xi, letting Xu Xi eat as she pleased, and asking her about her life in the Xu family since she was a child.

Fortunately, Xu Xi had the memory of the original owner and was not afraid of people asking questions. From her life in the county to the village, she talked about how good the Xu family was to her, which made the old lady more and more sure of her guess.

At this time, the eldest lady also came in, and said to Xu Xi with a smile: "I have someone clean up the Pinming House for you, which is near the old lady's yard. The yard is relatively small, so you can make do with it first. You can go and have a look later.

If you need anything, I’ll send someone to get it for you.”

Xu Xi had already stood up when she came in. Hearing this, he quickly bowed and said, "Excuse me, eldest aunt. Ruxi has caused trouble to eldest aunt."

"Sit down, sit down and talk." The eldest lady took the tea from the maid and sat down to drink tea and have snacks together.

In this way, the number of people chatting changed from two to three, and the atmosphere became more and more relaxed.

After talking for a while, the eldest lady became more and more surprised.

Whether a person is knowledgeable or not can be known by listening to what she says. This cannot be hidden.

It can be heard from Xu Xi's words that although this child cannot be said to be very talented, she is very knowledgeable and has a very broad vision. She can pick up two sentences of anything she says. She is not like a child who grew up in the market at all.

.

"Sister Xi, how do you know this? Have your adoptive parents taken you to many places?" the eldest lady asked.

Xu Xi smiled and said: "I like to read travel notes and write down various anecdotes."

"That's it." The eldest lady and the old lady looked at each other, raised their heads and gestured to their eldest maid.

The maid handed a purse to Xu Xi.

The doctor said: "You will go to the academy to report tomorrow. This is the amount of repair and other expenses the government will give you."

She signaled Xu Xi to open it. Xu Xi poured out the contents of the purse. There was a banknote, five ingots of silver, and some broken silver.

The eldest lady added: "The silver note is one hundred taels. You can put it on your body to protect yourself. When you are in a hurry to spend money, you will not be blinded. The silver ingots are two taels each, making a total of ten taels. You can go to the academy tomorrow to hand over Shu Xiu and others.

I think six taels is enough for the expenses, and the remaining four taels are your monthly silver for this half month. The broken silver totals two taels, which are for your pocket money or as a reward."

She decided to give these one hundred taels after discussing with the old lady.

The family could not make ends meet, so they spent a lot of money on jewelry and clothes for Xu Xi. If Xu Xi did not go to school, they would give him at most fifty taels of silver, and at other times they would only give him a monthly allowance.

I gave those fifty taels because the other sisters had received seven or eighty taels of red-seal silver during the Chinese New Year since they were young. No matter it was to buy something or to celebrate the birthday of the little sister, it would not be too much.

There is no money at all. Xu Xi has not been able to enjoy the benefits of the Hou Mansion in these years, so it is unjustifiable not to give her some money.

But the Xu family didn't take the one hundred taels of silver given to the Xu family. Xu Xi had to go to school again, and her money was too shabby. Others not only laughed at her, but also at the Hou Mansion.

So after discussing with the old lady, the eldest lady decided to give her one hundred taels of silver.

Mrs. Zhu looked at Xu Xi and said: "Originally, the monthly salary for the girls in the mansion is four taels of silver. If you go to school outside, your pen, ink, paper and inkstone will cost more, so the mansion will give you eight taels of silver per month.

.It’s still half a month before the next monthly silver payment is issued, so I’ll give you four taels first. If you have any big expenses, just tell me and I’ll give it to you.”
