Part 1 - The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter

☆ Chapter 040 Official School

Jiang Yuanbai wanted to find a teacher for Jiang Li, and Jiang Li soon knew about it.

The one who told Jiang Li about this was none other than Jiang Jingrui, the young master of the second house.

Of the two young masters of the Jiang family, Jiang Jingyou is older, but has a good personality. It is said that his knowledge is average, and he is chased by Lu every day to take the top exam. Jiang Jingrui has a hot temper, but no one dares to chase him to make him take the top exam. As long as he doesn't cause trouble outside, everyone will be happy.

After Jiang Jingrui was ridiculed by Jiang Li last time, he didn't come to Fangfei Garden for a long time. On weekdays, he would take a detour when he saw Jiang Li. Of course, Jiang Li didn't bother to pay attention, but today, Jiang Jingrui appeared at the door of Fangfei Garden again.

Mingyue and Qingfeng were embroidering at the door. They were startled when they saw Jiang Jingrui and said, "Second Young Master."

Jiang Jingrui coughed lightly, asked if Jiang Li was inside, and then walked in swaggeringly.

In the room, Jiang Li was reading a book. Tong'er knew that Jiang Li and Jiang Jingrui had a quarrel last time, so she stood aside and didn't say anything. Bai Xue was making scented tea in a corner of the room. She was careless. Seeing that Tong'er didn't greet her, she didn't get up either, and still sat on the small stool looking at the teapot.

Seeing that no one in the room paid attention to him, Jiang Jingrui felt a little uncomfortable and a little angry. He sat down opposite Jiang Li, saw the book in front of Jiang Li, and said, "What book are you reading? Do you understand it?"

This man always speaks so annoyingly, worthy of being a spoiled dandy. Jiang Li looked up at him and asked, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that Jiang Li finally paid attention to him, for some reason, Jiang Jingrui was very happy, and didn't care about the disrespectful attitude of the maids and masters in the room towards him before, and immediately said, "Let me tell you something, my uncle is going to invite a teacher for you!"

Invite a teacher? Jiang Li was a little surprised.

"I came to tell you as soon as I heard the news. I heard that my aunt said to my uncle that with your talent, it is impossible to learn anything. Just find an ordinary teacher to teach you some superficial skills so that you won't be embarrassed in front of others. Just pretend to be good."

"Too much!" Tong'er's handkerchief fell to the ground with a "plop". "What talent our girl doesn’t have? Our girl has very good talent!"

Jiang Jingrui glanced at Tong'er and shook his head: "My aunt is not serious about finding someone to teach your master. She just wants her to become a straw bag. I heard that my uncle handed all the matters to my aunt. The teacher she found can make Jiang Li suffer a little."

Jiang Li didn't say anything. 

Jiang Jingrui coughed softly again, as if he was a little embarrassed, and said, "I also want to help, but our second house has never interfered in the affairs of the first house. If I mention this to my mother, my mother will scold me to death. I think you might as well go to our grandmother. Grandma is still a very fair person. I will say a few words for you. If it the teacher is chosen by Grandma, it should not be bad." 

Jiang Li stared at him. It seems that Jiang Jingrui finally chose to stand on her side after being ridiculed last time. Whether it is because of the friendship between the second lady Jiang and him in the past, or because Jiang Jingrui was originally a sympathetic person, the facts prove that this young man is not bad. 

Jiang Li said, "Thank you for reminding me specially." This time, the tone was much softer. 

Hearing the change in Jiang Li's tone, Jiang Jingrui was inexplicably happy. When he came to his senses, he wanted to slap himself. He was a little bully in the Jiang family. Even Jiang Youyao didn't dare to provoke him easily, and he looked down on this and that. But Jiang Jingrui always felt a little scared or in awe of Jiang Li, a person with a bad reputation and no status in the mansion.

He always wanted to please her.

Jiang Jingrui cursed himself in his heart and asked Jiang Li: "What are you going to do now? When are you going to see the old lady? Tell me and I'll go with you."

He was willing to stand up and stand by her side. He was still a passionate young man.

Jiang Li said: "I just don't understand why my father chose a teacher for me. You know, the noble ladies in the capital have always been in the women's official school."

"Women's official school?" Jiang Jingrui was stunned for a few seconds before saying: "What are you kidding? The ladies who go to the women's official school are either rich or noble. The Mingyi Hall in Yanjing City accepts female students who are both virtuous and talented. Even the worst ones are extraordinary among people. If you go..."

If you go, it's a joke! Jiang Li understood what Jiang Jingrui didn't finish.

"However," Jiang Jingrui asked curiously, "You actually know about the official school for women in Yanjing City. You have inquired about it quite clearly."

Jiang Li smiled and did not comment. When she came to Yanjing City, she was famous for her beauty and her talent. She even debated with the gentlemen in Mingyi Hall and made friends with them.

At that time, doing these things was nothing more than giving Shen Yurong more opportunities. It always sounds like a glorious thing for the top scholar to have a talented wife to add fragrance to the red sleeves.

Of course, her beauty and her talent became her troubles and sins after she had an affair with someone.

Jiang Li was not willing to stay in the Jiang Mansion. If she did not go out, she would not have the opportunity to contact Shen Yurong and his cronies. If Jiang Yuanbai really invited a teacher for Jiang Li, Jiang Li would only study and practice calligraphy in the backyard of the Jiang Mansion, and she would inevitably have fewer opportunities.
Besides, she was no worse than anyone else in reading and writing. She wanted to enter Mingyi Hall not for real study, but for fame.

With fame, the Jiang family would not treat her as a dispensable lady, and she would have status. With status, people would be friends with her, and once she had a circle of friends, she could get closer to Princess Yongning step by step.

Does it take a long time? It doesn't take a long time. In Mingyi Hall, her talent can make her famous in the shortest time, which is the simplest way.

Seeing that she didn't know what she was thinking, Jiang Jingrui waved his hand in front of Jiang Li's eyes and asked, "Have you thought about it? When will you go to see grandma?"

"I won't see grandma." Jiang Li said, "I want to see my father."

"Uncle?" Jiang Jingrui was stunned: "You can't convince uncle. As long as uncle decides something, no one can change it unless grandma speaks. Since he has decided to leave the matter of finding a master to aunt, it is a done deal. It's a waste of effort for you to go to him. Don't make yourself angry."

"Thank you for your reminder." Jiang Li said, "But I still want to see my father."

"Why are you so stubborn?" Jiang Jingrui said unhappily.

"It's not stubbornness," Jiang Li smiled, "It's persistence."

She will persist to the end.

Ali: I don't want to go to a fake university, I want to go to Tsinghua [smile]
