However, Old Madam Lu asked him to bring the other girls of the family, so that the more people, the merrier.
When Ye Zhen heard Old Madam Lu's words, she was a little unhappy. She proposed to go to the hot spring to avoid the people at home so that she could come back naturally. If all the girls of the Lu family went, what would be the point?
Old Madam Lu went to find Lu Jing and asked them if they wanted to stay in Zhuangzi for a few days.
"Grandmother, we would like to go, but yesterday we just promised the second daughter of Prime Minister Xu's family that we will go to their house to attend a poetry meeting tomorrow. We also made an appointment to go to the Hundred Gardens to enjoy the flowers." Lu Jing said. Compared with the real aristocratic families in the capital, she was not interested in hot springs at all.
Old Madam Lu did not force her, but asked Ye Zhen, "Yao Yao, do you want to go to Zhuangzi or go to the poetry meeting with Jing 'er?"
The second daughter of Prime Minister Xu's family, wasn't that Xu Huiru? She used to study in the same college as her and was good at poetry and painting. She was always unconvinced of Ye Zhen and tried to prove that she was better than her. She thought that after graduation, she would not be so keen on these things. It turned out that she still liked to attend poetry meetings and get praise from others.
"Grandmother, I won't go. I don't know how to write poetry or paint. If I go, I will only cause trouble for my fourth sister. I will go after I learn it." Ye Zhen said with a smile. She didn't want to add face to others.
Lu Jing smiled, "It's right for third sister not to go."
Old Madam Lu did not force her. "Well, third daughter-in-law, take Yao Yao and the others to stay in Zhuangzi for a few days."
Pei Shi smiled and went to order the servants to prepare. It was not yet noon, so it was just the right time to set off for Zhuangzi.
Ye Zhen was in a good mood and said to the old lady, "Grandmother, you should come with us. I heard that hot springs can make you beautiful. Let's go and soak beautifully."
"Hahaha, grandmother won't go this time. I will accompany you next time. If you come back beautiful, we will go again." Old Madam Lu said happily.
Lu Jing secretly showed a disdainful expression. If hot springs can make one beautiful, then is there anything ugly in this world?
Ye Zhen bid farewell to Old Madam Lu and left the upper room briskly. She told Dai Mei to pack her things and went to talk to Mister Dan in person.
Mister Dan didn't have any objections. In any case, it was the same no matter where they went.
When he was about to go out, he met a few girls playing the zither in the pavilion in the garden.
Chen Qiuping and her sister weren't in the upper room just now, so they didn't know that Ye Zhen was going to Zhuangzi. It was only after Lu Fang told them that they knew.
"Could it be that Third Younger Sister went to the manor to avoid the poetry competition?" Chen Liping asked suspiciously.
"Sister Liping, you can't say that. You're hurting Third Sister's feelings." Lu Jing chuckled. "When Third Sister is admitted to the Women's College, she will naturally dare to participate in poetry competitions."
Chen Qiuping was more restrained and didn't say anything. She just looked at Ye Zhen with a smile.
Ye Zhen glanced at them faintly and said with a smile, "I may not be able to pass the entrance exam. Don't go outside and talk about it, lest I lose face."
"Do we still need to talk about it? During the Flower Appreciation Festival, many people heard that our Third Young Lady, who has only learned the Thousand Character Classic, is going to take the entrance exam. Third Elder Sister definitely doesn't know about it. There are even bets in private. "Lu Jing covered her mouth and laughed.
Ye Zhen raised an eyebrow. "Bet?"
"The girls who can participate in poetry competitions usually open a bet on whether you can pass the medical exam." Lu Fang whispered to Ye Zhen.
"Oh? What's the bet? "Ye Zhen's interest was piqued. "What's the bet?"
Lu Jing gloated. Recently, seeing that Lu Yaoyao was liked by everyone at home, she had long been unconvinced. Lu Jing rejoiced in Lu Yaoyao's misfortune. Recently, she saw that Lu Yaoyao was liked by everyone at home, and she had long been unconvinced.
Leaving the garden, the smile on Ye Zhen's face brightened, which confused Dai Mei next to her. Was the Third Young Lady too stimulated? Who would be happy to be looked down upon?
Lu Shiming and Lu Xiangzhi rode in front, while Pei Shi and Mister Dan rode in a carriage. The two seemed to have something to say, so Ye Zhen had to follow behind.
Lu Shiming and Lu Xiangzhi rode in front, while Pei Shi and Mister Dan rode in a carriage. The two seemed to have something to say, so Ye Zhen had to follow them.
Pei Shi originally wanted to sit with her daughter, but Mister Dan said he had something to ask her, so she had to sit with him.
"Ah Shi, what do you want to say? Is it about Yao Yao?" Pei Shi asked worriedly.
Mister Dan looked carefully at Pei Shi's facial features, frowned slightly and asked, "Ah Meng, don't blame me for being straightforward, but there is one thing I can't say."
Pei Shi's heart tightened slightly, but she smiled as usual and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Is Yao Yao your biological daughter?" Mister Dan asked. He couldn't be blamed for doubting this possibility. Lu Yaoyao looked too much like Ye Zhen. After spending so much time with her, she sometimes thought it was Ye Zhen standing in front of her.
"Why do you ask? Yao Yao was my daughter at that time. I gave birth to her when I was in the Border Town. "Sure enough, it was this! Pei Shi's heart jumped. Why did Dan Shi ask this? Did he know Yao Yao's relatives?
Dan Shi frowned and said, "I just think it's a coincidence. Yao Yao and I … the daughter of an old friend look too much like each other."
"Is there a lost daughter in their family?" Pei Shi was even more worried now. Oh no, would that family want Yao Yao back?
"I haven't heard of that." Mister Dan shook his head. Perhaps she was thinking too much.
Pei Shi breathed a sigh of relief, "People are similar."
Mister Dan nodded lightly, "You are right, they are just similar. However, Yao Yao is equally intelligent, and she will have a better future than the daughter of my old friend."
Her student died a violent death because he was extremely intelligent.
Pei Shi saw that Mister Dan had dispelled his doubts, and the smile on her face deepened, "That's because our Yao Yao has a good teacher like you."
"If you hadn't left, you would have been a teacher in the Medical Center." Mister Dan looked at Pei Shi and said.
"Let's not mention the past." Pei Shi shook her head and chuckled. She left with Lu Shiming without hesitation because she couldn't bear to see him suffer in the capital. They had been in the Border Town for so many years, and life was actually very smooth. Even if she didn't come back, she was willing.
Everyone has their own preferences. Mister Dan understood Pei Shi's approach. She also chose to leave the Women's College and would rather wander around.
Pei Shi smiled, "I only hope that Yao Yao can inherit my mantle and study medicine in the Medical Center. If she wants to be a female medical officer, I will agree."
