"These two sisters are talented and beautiful. If they weren't so stubborn, they would have been eaten to pieces long ago."
Therefore, coming to the Ling family can be considered a two-way journey.
The Zhu sisters taught Miss Ling her talents, and the Ling family protected them from unnecessary troubles.
Good.
After Yinbao left, Chi Xingyue asked Baozhu to call Ling Jiran and Ling Weiwei.
The aunt and niece were wearing pink horse-faced skirts, and they were somewhat similar in appearance and temperament.
However, compared with the little cutie Ling Weiwei, Ling Jiran, the aunt, is a little reserved.
Probably because he seldom had direct contact with Chi Xingyue in private.
Chi Xingyue went straight to the point and briefly talked about the two masters.
They were also given a vaccination.
"Ruyan, Xue'er, and Shuang'er will also study with you two.
You are the master and they are the servant. Don't forget your respective identities just because you are in the same classroom.
In addition, the focus of your studies should be on poetry, songs, calligraphy, painting, chess, and music. A little knowledge of singing and dancing will be enough.
Don't miss the point.
Of course, we must treat both masters equally and without partiality."
Ling Jiran didn't understand why the maid had to be trained in this way.
But she knew Chi Xingyue's good intentions, so she blushed and thanked him, saying that she would try her best.
Ling Weiwei babble, "Second Aunt, you don't know, ever since my brother and Uncle Shu went to the academy, I've been bored to death.
Why can't girls go to college?"
Chi Xingyue smiled and touched her hair without answering.
I wondered why, maybe because they were afraid that women would be too outstanding and shake the foundation of feudal society!
However, Weiwei was still young and quickly overcame this problem.
I asked cautiously, "Second sister-in-law, can Lanlan study with me?"
Before, in Qingshan Village, every time I came back from school, Shitou and Lanlan were envious.
But Aunt Taohua didn't let them show it, and said they were servants and shouldn't daydream.
Now, Shitou has become Mingyue's servant and can attend classes at the academy.
She also wants a study partner.
As long as the second sister-in-law agrees, Lanlan won't have to learn to read from her secretly.
Chi Xingyue tapped her forehead, regretting that she had overlooked such a big thing.
He quickly replied, "Sure, call Lanlan tomorrow morning and I'll have someone prepare a brand new set of writing brushes, inkstone, paper, and inkstone for her."
Ling was slightly happy and saluted Chi Xingyue like a little adult: "Thank you, second sister-in-law!"
Chi Xingyue smiled and said, "You're welcome!"
I thought that Butler Ling had followed the old man for so many years, and his children's wish should be fulfilled.
I don’t know what Aunt Taohua was thinking, she didn’t even mention it.
Although Shitou and Lanlan don't appear often, they have grown up with the old lady for so many years, and no one knows what the old lady thinks.
Thinking of this, Chi Xingyue could no longer sit still.
He returned to Rongsiyuan with Ling Jiran and Ling Weiwei, and told the old lady about this in a low voice.
After hearing this, the old lady sighed and said, "Back in Qingshan Village, I said I would send Shitou Lanlan to school.
Your aunt Taohua insisted that there is a difference between master and servant, and that her son Shitou would not take the imperial examination in the future and would stay in the Ling family for the rest of his life.
I just asked her, what future does it hold for the Ling family?
She said that the son should follow in his father's footsteps and become the housekeeper!"
Chi Xingyue chuckled, thinking it made a lot of sense.
In ancient times, not everyone could be the housekeeper of a wealthy family.
That requires being versatile.
The housekeeper of a powerful family is even more extraordinary.
When you are out, you have to call anyone who is of lower status than your host "brother" or "master"!
Very impressive!
"But, being a housekeeper also allows you to go to school!"
“He’s afraid that Shitou will become wilder as he sees more.
In my opinion, let them be wild. At worst, we can return their indentures and let Shitou fight for his future.
Taohua said that she knew her son's conditions and that his brain was more active than that of ordinary people.
If he really had to take the exam, he wouldn't be able to compete with the scholars. Besides, she didn't want her son to suffer that much."
The old lady lowered her voice and said, "Actually, she's afraid that we'll be too nice to Shitou, and that he'll develop inappropriate desires and become jealous of Mingyue and the others."
Chi Xingyue remained silent, because this was not impossible.
Human hearts are complicated. It doesn’t mean that I will be grateful just because you are nice to me.
They may also feel hatred, hatred for not helping enough and hatred for the unfairness of fate.
Otherwise, how could there be the saying, "Great kindness is like great hatred"?
Chi Xingyue said she had learned her lesson and told the old lady what Ling Weiwei had just said to her and her own decision.
The old lady patted her hand and said, "It's okay, she's just a girl, she can't cause any big waves.
When Lanlan reaches the age of maturity, I will find her a good marriage partner. It would be respectable for her to marry off as the eldest son's goddaughter."
For the last sentence, the old lady raised her voice deliberately so that the servants waiting outside the door could hear.
It won't be long before the news reaches Butler Ling's ears.
With this promise, I believe Butler Ling will be more loyal.
I always tell her that as long as Lanlan's roots are not bad, she will not go astray.
Chi Xingyue came out of Rongsiyuan and went straight to Fanghuayuan.
He informed Ruyan about reporting to Haitangyuan the next day and also expressed his concern for her.
"Are you feeling well? If you're feeling unwell, you can come to Haitangyuan to study a few days later!"
Ruyan was afraid that Shuang'er and Xue'er would steal the second young master's favor, and her health was actually not seriously affected.
He nodded and said, "Thank you, Madam Second Young Master, for your concern. Doctor Cheng said that you will be fully recovered after taking the medicine for a few more days. You should go out and get some fresh air more often in the next few days."
Tomorrow I will go to study with the teacher with Shuang'er and Xue'er.
Rest assured, Madam Second Young Master, Ruyan will do her best to help Madam Second Young Master solve her problems as soon as possible!"
Chi Xingyue nodded, praised Ruyan a few words, and left.
Passing by the small garden, I saw that the sweet potato vines had already grown.
Asked Yinbao: "Has there been any letter from Changning Village?"
"Yes, Li Zheng Chen said that he would come to the government to pick up the seedlings before planting.
My subordinates have already made arrangements. Once these seedlings grow a little taller, we will start transplanting them.
I will definitely not let down the master and the lady in their important affairs."
Chi Xingyue nodded, feeling that life was really worry-free now.
He turned and came to Zheguiyuan, played with Xiaokangkang for a while, and then came to Doctor Cheng's room.
He lowered his voice and asked, "Are you sure Ruyan can't have children?"
Doctor Cheng snorted coldly: "This is the first time I have done such a shameful thing!"
Chi Xingyue rubbed his nose, feeling that he had gone too far. But after all, their positions were different.
"That girl is really ungrateful. What's wrong with being a servant in the Ling family? Isn't it better than being someone's accomplice?
What a confusing person! "
Chi Xingyue sat down next to Doctor Cheng and sighed softly.
I thought to myself, who would have nothing better to do than to do such a thankless job?
Aside from the fact that Ruyan does have ambitions, isn't it also because she was born in a family and her parents are both in the Xu family, so she was threatened and intimidated?
Of course, Chi Xingyue would not say these words.
I was afraid that Doctor Cheng would be compassionate and remove the poison from Ruyan.
