Lu Lingzhi sat in the room for a while, then took Lu Xiangzhi to the front yard. The people here were all little girls, and they seemed out of place. It was better to wait for everyone to come back tonight before talking together.
"… We go out to ride horses in the morning, and sometimes we hunt a few rabbits or pheasants in the woods. In the evening, we go to the hot spring. Grandma, you really should go with us. It's so comfortable to soak in the hot spring today. My skin is so tender after soaking. Look, am I not as dark as before? Mother said that I finally know that I am a girl after returning to the capital. I used to think of myself as a boy. " Ye Zhen fawned over Old Madam Lu as if she was the former Old Madam Ye.
Old Madam Lu touched her delicate face as if she was touching a piece of soft tofu. She turned around and said to Lu Fang and the others, "All of you should have followed Yao Yao to the manor back then. All of you would have returned prettily. You would have been much better than attending the poetry meet."
"Aunt is right. That manor isn't far. We can still go there." Chen Qiuping was envious. What she wanted most was skin as white as jade. If the hot spring really had such a miraculous effect, she could not wait to go to the village immediately.
Ye Zhen smiled but did not speak. She just snuggled up to Old Madam Lu.
Lu Jing didn't like Ye Zhen in the first place, and now she felt even more disgusted when she looked at her. It's not like Ye Zhen hasn't been to the hot spring before. How could it be as magical as she said? It must be Mister Shan's miracle. If it were them, even if they drank the hot spring, it would be impossible to have the same effect as Lu Yaoyao. "I won't go. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival. There are still many things to do in the college.
I can't leave at all. "The college had already begun classes. This year, Lu Jing's identity was no longer a merchant's daughter, but a noble lady. Those who looked down on her before now fawned on her. She was enjoying this kind of life. Moreover, the day after tomorrow was the entrance examination for the medical hall.
So what if she was beautiful? It would be wonderful if she was rejected from the college during the entrance examination.
Chen Qiuping was a little disappointed. She regretted not following Ye Zhen to the village that day. Maybe she was the one who took care of her cousin.
"The manor is right there. You can go there whenever you want." Old Madam Lu said with a smile, then turned to look at Ye Zhen and asked, "Our Yao Yao is about to take the exam. At that time, we will all go to support her."
Ye Zhen blushed. "Grandma, I'm afraid I'll lose face for the Lu family."
Lu Fang-er laughed. "Third sister's current appearance is the face of our Lu family. How could we possibly lose face?"
It was as if Ye Zhen only needed to have a beautiful face.
When a madam of an aristocratic family looked at a daughter-in-law, appearance was never the most important thing. What was most important was character. Lu Yaoyao grew up in a border town and might not even be able to get into a women's college. How good could she be if she had no talent, no virtue, and only good looks?
Old Madam Lu didn't seem to hear other people's exclusion of Ye Zhen. She just smiled and said, "Our Yao Yao is smart and witty. How could she not be admitted to a women's college?"
Chen Liping chimed in, "Yes, third sister will definitely be admitted to the college. If it was in the early days of the college, there would be no need for so many rules."
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. Yes, today's college is completely different from when Qi Yanling first founded it. At that time, there were no identity restrictions in the women's college. Women from aristocratic families and merchants could study as long as they met the conditions.
Now … Ye Zhen sneered in her heart. Not only did they have to look at the identity of the students, but even the entrance exam was also strict. Take the six arts as an example. If it were an ordinary family, where would they have the money to study? It was clear that they did not want to accept ordinary students.
Even the Lu sisters were only able to enter the school because they were imperial merchants. They must have been looked down upon in the school.
Ye Zhen didn't like today's women's college. It was no longer the college that flourished in the past. However, in order to enter the palace, she had to go to the medical center, which was part of the college.
"Whether I can get in or not, I'll try my best." Ye Zhen said to Old Madam Lu.
Old Madam Lu nodded with a smile, "That's right. Our Yao Yao is very good now. How many girls in the capital want to be Mister Shan's student? You are better than them."
Ye Zhen nodded vigorously, "Grandmother is right."
"Third sister, what is the ointment you just mentioned?" Chen Liping was still thinking about the ointment that Ye Zhen had just said could whiten the skin.
The others also looked at Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen asked Dai Mei to bring the ointment she brought. There were only four bottles in total. She added not much spirit spring water, just a little, but the effect was already very good.
"I saw this formula in a book. I was just fiddling with it, but I didn't expect it to have such an effect." Ye Zhen said with a smile, "However, I dare not say that it works for everyone. Everyone's effect is different."
"It works for third sister, and it will definitely work for us." Chen Liping said with a smile.
Ye Zhen glanced at her with a smile. She didn't seem to say that she would give it to her.
Chen Liping looked back at Ye Zhen as usual, as if Ye Zhen would definitely give it to her.
Old Madam Lu glanced at the girls and said with a smile, "You girls can have one bottle each. I am already an old woman. How can I use these things?"
"Thank you, aunt!" Chen Liping immediately thanked her happily, grabbed a bottle in her hand, and looked at Ye Zhen with a smile.
Lu Fang and Lu Jing looked at each other. Seeing that the old madam really didn't seem to want it, they smiled, thanked her, and took a bottle each.
However, Ye Zhen, the owner of the ointment, was forgotten.
Old Madam Lu glanced at them and said with a smile, "Well, you all go back and come back together tonight."
"Grandmother, we'll be going back first." Lu Jing and the others stood up and bowed before leaving with the white porcelain bottle in their hands, unable to hide the joy on their faces.
After they left, Ye Rou took out two small porcelain bottles from her bosom. One was pure white, and the other was blue and white porcelain. She whispered, "Grandmother, the ointment in this white porcelain bottle is to be applied to the face, and this one is to be taken. Take one a day. I secretly kept it for you. It's better than the others."
Old Madam Lu laughed so hard that her eyes couldn't be seen. She hugged Ye Zhen and scolded her little rascal, but in her heart, she was very happy. She thought that this granddaughter was filial and still remembered her grandmother.
Ye Zhen bowed her head with a smile. She was filial to Old Madam Lu. First, she wanted to repay the kindness of the Lu family for her sister. Second, she needed Old Madam Lu as her backer.
