Chapter 4, Yanyan and Green Bamboo
The Yuan Laozi has never been an official, but his family is well-off. There are two girls in Yuanxiu's room, one is called Meihua, who is fifteen years old and has been married. He will go out to get married next year. The other is Qiucao, a little girl of the same year as Yuanhui. When she came, she looked pale and thin. She raised her for a year and was fair and very clever.
Xu called them, bringing hot water with plum blossoms, and sending towels and silk for autumn grass. Yuan Xiu washed them and went to bed.
Since the old man and his wife left home, Xu accompanied her to sleep. There was a bed and Yuanxiu's bed in the shape of "Ding". Xu washed it, closed the door, and went to bed when she came back.
......
The geographical location of Xinji Town is really good. The distance of a hundred miles allows the Grand Canal to continuously deliver fresh goods. The plains are not short of water and crops are all there. This is an important grain market nearby.
Every year, new residents are willing to move in, but the surrounding arable land limits housing and cannot expand. There are military camps around, and the town has public housing, an official and twelve yamen runners, who strictly check the coming and going of the population, so that the fixed population here does not change much, and the students in the school are also fixed every year.
After all, no matter how rich the place is, there are only a few families who are willing to go to school. This has no direct connection with the fact that the family can afford to go to school. However, there are more than a dozen families in Xinji Town that can be called scholars. The study atmosphere here is very good. About a hundred students who go to the academy early in the morning went out.
The name of the college is Xinji, which occupies five rooms in a courtyard. There is a scholar named Bai Tang who failed to preside over him. The people in Xinji Town will not look down on him. The famous elder man has never been an official in his life. He still makes a fortune by studying and lives in a large mansion.
Bai Tang alone cannot be responsible for all students' homework. In Xinji Town, except for the Yuan family, more than a dozen scholars took turns to cultivate the next generation of scholars.
At this time, the morning light was clear, and Bai Tang stood at the entrance of the school, lit the number of students.
Yuanhui, who was a few steps away, was panicked when she saw it. She hurriedly finished her radish cake, stuffed the big yellow apricot into her schoolbag, looked well-behaved, and said in the same voice as Yuan Xiu: "Mr. Bai."
"Year-time, Sister Hui, you can't eat anymore in class. Today is Mr. Qi's teaching. He is your grandfather's disciple, and he is a great complaint." Bai Tang said with a smile.
Yuan Hui's little face turned red, her eyes were glaring indignation, and she angrily passed over him. She and Yuan Xiu were both wearing veils, and she could see the fluttering redness.
Yuan Xiu held back her laughter, Bai Tang saw that she was always polite and nodded to show her.
"Ding thudding thud", Yuanhui walked towards her class. The boy had a separate room and the courses were also separate. Boys and girls were not big, so they sat separately, and there were no curtains in the room.
Yuan Xiu walked into the room and pushed open the back door. He saw bamboo curtains hanging in the back half of the room, separated from the boy in the front half of the room.
The sisters were their own wet nurses who stopped outside the room, and each had a girl, and the family members were prosperous.
You Wang sighed and said to Bai Tang: "It was peaceful this morning."
When Bai Tang heard this, his face slightly sank, and he was helpless, and he was a little grateful: "I heard that the news of the Prince of the Guardians is true. I want to come here to avoid the rampant and rudeness in recent years."
They talked, Qiucao, the little girl who followed Yuan Xiu, couldn't understand and didn't listen. She stretched her head and looked left and right, muttering to the wet nurse Xu: "Didn't you say there is a disciple? Therefore, the girl has to follow her every day when she goes to school. Mom, what is a disciple?"
Xu bit her ear: "Shut up, someone will hear you jokes about you carefully. You are stupid kid, you dare to say anything stupid."
Qiucao said in a frightened manner: "I dare not, mom, don't hit me when you go back."
Two girls who are similar to Won-soo crossed them and walked into the classroom where Won-soo was. They also entered the back door and closed as soon as they were pushed open.
Yuanxiu smiled at them, surprised: "Yanyan, Luzhu, why don't you wear a veil?" On the desk table next to her, she put a newly folded veil.
The girl in red clothes, with a silver plate-like face, a pair of varnish-like eyes, which was comparable to Yuan Xiu's appearance. She sat and smiled: "Don't you know yet? Since the dandy here spread last year, someone has finally taken care of this year. A general is coming, what's the name? Alas, I don't remember his name anyway, and there is still,"
She smiled sweetly, put a finger on her lips, and used this gesture to show the importance of her words next.
"The Prince of the Guardian is coming, too, he is the emperor's cousin."
Another girl in yellow curled her lips and couldn't help laughing again: "Yanyan, you didn't understand, but you just like to steal the words."
"What?" Yanyan opened her eyes wide and looked even more watery.
The yellow-clothed girl Lu Zhu smiled and said, "The official position of the Prince of the Guardian is the General of the State. This is the same person. Where did the general come from? Another prince comes."
Yuan Xiuxiu's color: "So, don't wear a veil anymore?"
"No need to wear it anymore. Look, Lu Zhu and I haven't worn it. It's hot that day, in the blink of an eye, and a layer of skin is still not so hot that we can?"
Yanyan said, pouting: "You and I have grown up in this new market town since I was a child. I have been begging people and buying lanterns. Who has never seen us? If I wear a veil, I won't come to school. It's all my grandfather's fault. My mother still said early in the morning that girls' families are from, what kind of school are they going to! What kind of books are they studying! Serious, find a good family. Learn needlework in the room in hot weather, that's serious."
Yuan Xiu quietly shrank her feet.
Lu Zhu didn't see it, and complained: "It's all the troubles of the Yuan family's grandfather. Sister Xiu, you don't have an older brother, and you don't have a younger brother yet. Well, you can feel at ease when you go to school, and you have descendants of scholars at home. Yanyan and I have brothers, and we all study in this school. We two grandfathers, I don't know which one of them is wrong, and say that Sister Xiu is studying, you also study."
