Jiang Li's eyes widened in disbelief. She had never expected that even in the small world, she still couldn't escape the fate of going to school! ! She, Jiang Li, the legitimate daughter of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Her three generations of ancestors were all meritorious officials who defended the country. Her grandfather was a veteran of three dynasties. She was loved by her father, mother, and brother. She was an envied daughter of heaven, and she was sure to be the favorite of the group.
I could have just laid back and lived a carefree and happy life.
However--
Her dear mother became a stumbling block on her road to freedom and decadence. Not only did she order her to learn rules and etiquette from the governess, she also put her under house arrest!
Fortunately, her father and two brothers stood on the same front with her. With their persuasion, she finally convinced her mother. She thought she would regain her freedom and start a new life.
But I didn’t expect that the premise for lifting her house arrest order was to let her go to school! !
Jiang Li's eyes widened, she pinched her waist and exhaled heavily.
Jiang Lin and Jiang Yi looked at each other, and walked to Jiang Li's side, one on the left and one on the right.
Jiang Lin: "Li'er, don't be angry first. Think about it, studying at Bailu Academy is much more comfortable than learning etiquette and rules in the mansion, right?"
Jiang Yi followed up and agreed: "Yes, sister, there are many classmates of your age in Bailu Academy. You can make more new friends there. The archery and horse riding classes in the academy are also very interesting!"
Jiang Lin and Jiang Yi both advised that they would rather their sister go to the academy than watch her exhaust herself by learning the rules and etiquette every day.
Jiang Li lowered her head, her lower lip had turned white from being bitten by her!
Of course she knew that going to the academy would be more comfortable than learning rules at home, but she didn't come to the small world to enjoy comfort!
After going to the academy, she has to live in a boarding house and can only come back during the break. She will be gone for half a month. How can she win over Xiao Heng? ! "If you don't want to go, I'll go and tell mother!"
Seeing that Jiang Li remained silent, Jiang Yi pretended to be a lobbyist again.
"No need, second brother, I'll go, I'll go to the academy!"
Jiang Li grabbed Jiang Yi's arm and pulled the corner of her mouth angrily.
The most urgent matter at the moment is to lift the house arrest order first, and take other matters one step at a time! In this way, Jiang Li's trip to Bailu Academy was decided, and she would set off after the Lantern Festival.
The Lantern Festival came in a blink of an eye, and every household hung up red lanterns.
This is the first Lantern Festival that Jiang Li has spent with her parents and brothers. In order to make up for the lack of their presence with Jiang Li over the years, Jiang Zhong decides that the whole family will go out tonight and accompany Jiang Li to the street to light lanterns and watch the fun.
"Madam specially asked someone to make this fox fur coat for Miss. I heard that the fox was caught by the master himself when he was hunting at the border. Madam has kept the fur so that she can make a beautiful and warm fox fur coat for Miss after returning to the court."
"Although the master and the mistress have not been with the young lady these years, they have always been thinking about her in their hearts!"
Xiao Ci put a fox fur coat on Jiang Li and talked non-stop with her little mouth.
Jiang Li looked down at the fox fur coat on her body. The moment she put it on, she felt warmth wrapping her whole body, and even her heart was warm.
"Young lady, you look so beautiful in this fox fur coat! There is no one prettier than you in the whole of Kyoto!"
Looking at Jiang Li, a girl with bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, Xiao Ci showed surprise on her face and praised her generously.
Jiang Li was wearing a fiery red fox fur coat with soft white fox fur around the lapels. When she lowered her head, her fair face lightly touched the fur. Her black hair fell to her waist and she wore a pair of magnolia and kingfisher hairpins in her hair, which made her dark eyebrows and fair skin look even whiter than winter snow.
It's no wonder that Xiao Ci is obsessed with Jiang Li. Jiang Li's appearance is the most beautiful in every small world. There are many beauties in the small world, but she is the most outstanding one.
Everyone likes to hear compliments, and Jiang Li is no exception.
She curled her lips, looked at Xiaoci's crazy look and raised her hand to support her chin: "Hold your chin, your saliva is about to flow out."
Xiao Ci chuckled: "If you marry the young lady, your future son-in-law will be so lucky!"
The lady is so beautiful, it’s a pleasure to look at her every day!
"Miss, let's go and meet up with the master and his wife. I have never seen what the Lantern Festival in Kyoto is like in my life!"
——
A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Li followed her parents and brother to the street.
The streets are particularly lively tonight. Every household has hung lanterns of different styles, forming a beautiful landscape.
Children held lanterns in their hands and wore delicate little masks on their faces. They gathered in groups of three or five and sang songs about the Lantern Festival.
The voices of vendors shouting their wares were mixed together, and even to talk to the people next to you you had to shout loudly in order for them to be heard.
"The Lantern Festival in Kyoto is getting more and more lively."
Jiang Zhong sighed as he looked at the scene in front of him. He had been stationed at the border for many years and had not seen the Lantern Festival in Kyoto for some years.
"Girl, buy whatever you like!"
Jiang Zhong turned his head to look at Jiang Li beside him, who looked like a wealthy man.
He came out today for only one thing, to make up for what he had done to his daughter over the years.
Jiang Li smiled brightly: "Thank you, Dad!"
"Come on, sister, let's go and take a look ahead!"
After Jiang Yi finished speaking, he pulled Jiang Li forward, and Jiang Lin followed, sandwiching Jiang Li in the middle.
Looking at the three people talking and laughing in front of him, Jiang Zhong smiled and said, "In the blink of an eye, the children have grown up so big."
Qin Fengwan also looked at the figure in front of him: "Yes, I remember that when I left, Li'er was still a baby in swaddling clothes, and now she has grown into a big girl."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhong turned his head to look at Qin Fengwan, just in time to catch the tenderness in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Li.
"Madam, you obviously care so much about Li'er, why don't you tell her what's in your heart?"
Qin Fengwan came back to his senses, coughed twice, and quickly changed the subject: "Let's go and take a look at the front."
After saying that, he took a step forward.
Jiang Zhong shook his head helplessly: "After so many years, your habit of saying one thing and thinking another has not changed at all!"
At that time, on the other side.
"We're going to the academy tomorrow. What would you like to eat? Ah Fu will go buy it for you now. You can take it with you when you go to the academy tomorrow!"
Ah Fu and Xiao Heng were walking on the bustling street, and their voices were soon lost in the crowd.
Xiao Heng didn't say anything and walked forward aimlessly. He had been waiting for Jiang Li to visit the Xiao Mansion for the past three days, but she never came.
With a hot-tempered temper like him, he stayed at home for three days just to see Jiang Li again.
"It's water chestnut cake. Sir, please wait here for a moment. I'll go buy some water chestnut cake for you!"
After saying this, Ah Fu excitedly ran to the stall selling water chestnut cakes in front.
Xiao Heng seemed not to hear what Ah Fu said and walked straight forward. When he came to his senses, he was hit hard.
"Who is it? Don't you have eyes when you walk?"
