Xiao Kairui had only seen Xiao Cunyu when he was a child, and he was not in the capital later, so he had long forgotten what Xiao Cunyu looked like.
But think back to the eldest brother's description of the seventh brother...isn't that exactly the same as "Xiao Jingmao"?!
He also considered himself a gentleman. He had never known what his good brother had asked him to bring, and he had never opened it to see it himself. Now, after hearing his elder brother's words, he hurriedly took out the box and opened it.
There were two gifts inside, as well as a letter from Xiao Cunyu to his elder brother.
Xiao Cunyu was used to writing down the local customs and interesting things in different places and writing them to her brothers. This time was no exception. However, this time she was writing about what she saw and heard in Yunzhou, so Xiao Kairui occupied a large part of the text.
Xiao Kairui was dumbfounded after reading it.
During the month or so he had known "Xiao Jingmao", he felt like he had met a close friend and they could talk about anything!
Now he tells him that this person is his sister? !
"Sixth brother, think about it, you are not the first one to be fooled by her. Look at your real brother Jingmao, also known as Prince Zhou. He was often bullied by Cunyu in the past, but now he has learned his lesson and become more capable. He can even take the imperial examination next year!"
“…” Xiao Kairui didn’t want to talk.
He was so angry that he wanted to find Xiao Cunyu and beat him up.
But considering that she was his only sister, he felt reluctant to let her go, so he could only sulk by himself.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingyun was actually very happy and gloated for a long time.
…
Fifteen years later.
Although Xiao Cunyu has grown older, he has the secret to maintaining his youthful appearance and looks more and more handsome.
Wherever he passed, thousands of ghosts bowed their heads.
In this year, Emperor Dingyuan abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, and the crown prince selected and trained by Emperor Dingyuan himself succeeded to the throne.
During the reign of Emperor Dingyuan, he issued many benevolent policies and was much more tolerant towards women. The status of women was improved, especially in the capital. Many noble ladies dared to compete with scholars and talk freely without restraint. There was even a separate women's academy in Wanjun Academy. However, Emperor Dingyuan's reign was too short, and no woman was able to serve as an official in the court.
However, Xiao Cunyu felt that if things continued to develop in this way, it was only a matter of time before the woman came forward.
Although Xiao Cunyu never went to Wanjun Academy over the years, her influence has always been there. Almost all the talents she recruited from all over the country were sent to the court through Wanjun Academy, which added a lot of reputation to Wanjun Academy.
About 50% of her wealth was used in Wanjun Academy, and even the various reforms of Wanjun Academy were carried out with her approval.
She worked hard and finally found an extremely intelligent scholar.
Both in terms of character and ability, he is qualified to be the principal of Wanjun Academy. In those years, she taught him everything she knew. When he grew up, she did not hesitate to let him take her handwritten letter to the capital and take over Wanjun Academy from Mr. Lin and the academy managers.
Only then did Xiao Cunyu finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The burden on my shoulders was finally lifted.
The money in my hands is finally not so tight anymore!
…
A few months later.
Xiao Cunyu was boating on the lake when Shui Gui climbed onto the bow of the boat and said he wanted to warm himself by the fire.
Seeing that he was wet and cold and looked really pitiful, Xiao Cunyu finally pulled the boat to the shore, lit a fire, and felt at ease.
"Brother, move aside." Suddenly, a figure appeared next to Shui Kui, pushed Kui aside, and sat down opposite Xiao Cunyu.
Xiao Cunyu looked up and saw Ying Huaiji's majestic yet gentle eyes staring at her with a smile.
