When Jiang Li went to Mingyi Hall, she only brought Bai Xue, a maid, with her.
Although Mingyi Hall was for young ladies from official families, it also had strict discipline. If she had not had some dealings with the gentlemen of Mingyi Hall when she married Shen Yurong, she would have known nothing about Mingyi Hall now, and she would have made a lot of jokes.
Jiang Youyao and Jiang Yu'e must have deliberately wanted to make fun of Jiang Li, so they didn't say anything that should be said. When Jiang Li and Bai Xue got on the carriage, Tong'er was reluctant to say, "Miss, you must come back early."
Tong'er and Jiang Li were almost inseparable during the eight years in Qingcheng Mountain. At that time, Jiang Li had only Tong'er as a maid. Now that Jiang Li has more servants, Tong'er feels a little lost, and Jiang Li comforts her for a while.
Although she took Bai Xue to Mingyi Hall, others would definitely laugh at her when they saw that the maid next to Jiang Li was such a big fool. However, things in the world cannot be judged by appearance. Although Bai Xue is not as pleasing as other maids, she is very strong. Since she died once, Jiang Li often wondered if she had some martial arts skills, would she be able to escape by luck one day instead of dying helplessly?
However, martial arts cannot be mastered overnight, not to mention that the Jiang family is a family of civil officials, and Jiang Li is still a girl, so there is no reason for her to learn martial arts. Moreover, Jiang Li estimated that she should not be a martial arts genius with this body, so she gave up this idea.
Since she doesn't know martial arts, finding a strong maid can always increase her chances of survival. Jiang Li knows that people will have hope only when they are alive, and any chance of survival that gives them an extra 10% will play a huge role when necessary.
When Jiang Li and Bai Xue were on their way to Mingyi Hall, Jiang Youyao and the other two had already arrived in advance.
In the past, Jiang Youyao did not travel with Jiang Yu'e and Jiang Yuyan. After all, Jiang Yu'e and Jiang Yuyan were from the third room, and Jiang Youyao looked down on them from the bottom of her heart. However, Jiang Yu'e was sweet-mouthed and used to flattering her, so Jiang Youyao would occasionally give her a good colour.
Today, in order to piss off Jiang Li, Jiang Youyao rode in a carriage with Jiang Yu'e and Jiang Yuyan for the first time. This was considered unusual by everyone in Mingyi Hall.
"Youyao." A pink-dressed girl at the door looked back and asked curiously, "Isn't your second young lady coming to school today? Why can't I see her? Aren't you coming with her?"
Before Jiang Youyao could speak, Jiang Yu'e spoke first, saying, "Second sister got up late, probably busy picking out some clothes. Today is her first day in school, and she takes it very seriously."
If Jiang Yu'e had said this on weekdays, Jiang Youyao would have been displeased, but today she let Jiang Yu'e speak like this.
As soon as Jiang Yu'e finished speaking, another tall girl sneered: "Which dress is she going to pick? This is not a beauty contest, what kind of dress is she going to pick?"
"I heard that someone saw your second young lady when she just returned home, and said that she was also a beautiful lady." Another girl looked at Jiang Youyao tentatively: "Is she really beautiful? I wonder how she compares to you, Youyao?"
Although Jiang Youyao is not the most talented and beautiful in Mingyi Hall, her talents are not as good as her looks, and her looks are not as good as her talents. In addition, due to Jiang Yuanbai's status and position, Jiang Youyao is the only one in Mingyi Hall.
Jiang Yu'e smiled and said: "Second sister is indeed beautiful, but she has stayed in the mountains for too long, and her temperament..." She didn't say anything else, but everyone thought of the fact that Jiang Li was expelled to the nunnery and stayed there for eight years.
After eight years in the mountains, she is probably just a country bumpkin. What can she know when she just returned to Yanjing?
Even the girl who was curious about Jiang Li just now looked down on her.
The female students of Mingyi Hall look at identity, status, appearance, and talent. The people who come here are the apple of their parents' eyes. They are born in a position that makes them unwilling to be compared. Whenever there is a newcomer, they will compare each other.
Jiang Li has nothing good except that her father is the Prime Minister, and this Prime Minister father doesn't seem to care about her. In this case, what is there to note about Jiang Li?
As they were talking, they suddenly heard some nosy student outside shouting: "Miss Jiang Er is here!"
All the female students in the whole school looked towards the door at the same time.
And they saw two girls coming to the door. The maids were more robust than ordinary maids, and her skin was dark. She was wearing apricot-red maid skirts, which made her look funny instead of cute. She was more like village girl in the mountains.
Although this maid was eye-catching, perhaps because of her funniness, the girl around her were more outstanding.
The girl had a gentle smile on her face, as warm as the warm wind in the mountains, blowing through people's hearts, making people feel comfortable. Her facial features were just right, and her delicate eyebrows and eyes were heroic, which made her gentleness also have a bit of toughness and moving.
"Is that the second daughter of the Jiang family?" someone whispered, "She doesn't look like she was raised in the mountains."
On the first day of school, the first time she came to the unfamiliar Mingyi Hall, facing strangers, this girl was not uncomfortable or timid at all. She looked calm and did no worse than anyone else.
"I think she was raised in the mountains," someone whispered to her companion, "Quite smart."
‘Spirit’ is an indescribable feeling. It is not something that can be learned by following the teacher for a few more days, nor can it be bought by spending more money. The girl's eyes are as clear as a spring, sweet and pure.
Even though they have heard so many vicious rumours about her, the second daughter of Jiang is too kind and gentle, so it is really hard for people to have a bad impression.
The sudden change in the attitude of the people around her towards Jiang Li was immediately captured by Jiang Youyao and others. Jiang Youyao was furious. Jiang Li did not wear the skirts sent by Ji Shuran, but had her own ideas. She clearly did it on purpose, just to be in the limelight!
Jiang Youyao's idea was really unreasonable. If Jiang Li wore the clothes Ji Shuran gave her, she would really be in the limelight. But being in the limelight at this time might not be a good thing. Jiang Li's clothes were simple and elegant, but they complemented her temperament. In this way, the invisible limelight was even more outstanding.
Jiang Yu'e was puzzled. She didn't understand why Jiang Li's reputation was so bad, but when they saw her, these students all showed disgust. Doesn't it matter whether her reputation is good or bad?
Jiang Li smiled slowly in her heart.
People's eyes will always see things, and what they can't see will be blinded. But most people are willing to believe that what they see is all.
For example, how can you tell whether a person is good or bad after just one encounter? What you can see clearly is just the judgment of another person.
She looks like a good person, and with a little effort, she may be a ‘good person’.
