Even if it was just entering the academy's medical hall, many girls would start learning medicinal knowledge at a young age. In addition to medicinal knowledge, they would also need to be proficient in the six arts. Lu San grew up in the border town. Although she learned medical skills from Pei Shi, Pei Shi was not a person of high birth, so how could she teach her daughter proper etiquette?
Lu San was simply a country bumpkin who could not be seen in public.
She had no self-awareness at all and was delusional enough to want to enter the women's college. Did she really think that their eldest brother could now call the wind and summon the rain, and any cat or dog could enter the college?
Old Madam Lu did not think as much as her two granddaughters. She was just a businesswoman. When she heard that Ye Zhen wanted to go to the college, she could only be happy. "Well, well, when your eldest brother comes back, let him arrange it for you."
Ye Zhen happily agreed.
Fourth Miss Lu wanted to reprimand Ye Zhen for overestimating herself, but when she saw Old Madam Lu's happy look, she held back her words.
She was just a concubine's daughter. It was only because of her achievements in the college that the old madam looked at her with admiration. She did not want to fall short of success and cause the old madam to hate her at this time.
Old Madam Lu then talked about the flower viewing party that would be held three days later. Every year, there would be an autumn flower viewing party in the capital. The location was the Hundred Flower Gardens of the royal family. This Hundred Flower Gardens was different from the Imperial Garden. It was not located in the palace, but near the Women's Academy. The noblewomen of the imperial court would often hold banquets there to admire the flowers.
In the past, the Lu family was not qualified to go to the Hundred Garden, but now it was different.
Old Madam Lu had decided to bring her three granddaughters to the banquet to show those who looked down on the Lu family that they could also teach a well-educated and reasonable girl.
"Flower appreciation party?" Ye Zhen was in a trance for a while. These three words seemed very distant to her, but they were so unforgettable that she would never forget them.
She and Mo Rongzhan had met at a flower viewing party when she was seven years old. At that time, he was just an unfavored prince who was blind, and she was the legitimate daughter of the Ye Family, which was doted on by thousands of people.
"All the nobles in the capital will attend. Yao Yao, you have to go with us." Old Madam Lu said with a smile.
Ye Rou lowered her eyes and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly. "Grandmother, I'm just afraid that I'll embarrass you if I go."
"Nonsense!" Old Madam Lu chided. "How is our Yaoyao inferior to others?"
Fourth Miss Lu laughed coldly in her heart when she heard this. Old Madam was biased towards Lu Shiming, but she was also biased towards Lu San. What was so good about this dark-skinned and skinny Lu San?
Ye Zhen touched her face. "I don't look good."
Old Madame Lu laughed. "Who said that? You only got tanned in the border town, but now you're much fairer. If you nourish your body, you'll definitely be a great beauty in the future."
"Grandmother said that I am a great beauty, then I will definitely be one in the future." Ye Zhen immediately said with a smile.
Back then, Princess Qin's beauty was unparalleled in the capital. Lu Yaoyao and Princess Qin were twins, so naturally, she was not bad looking. However, these years, she had never paid attention to her appearance, and her skin was tanned and rough. After being ill for so long, she was as thin as a monkey. Naturally, she could not be compared to the pampered Princess Qin.
Ye Zhen had always loved beauty. When she was beautiful, she had paid great attention to maintaining her face. Now that she had become Lu Yaoyao, she naturally felt it was a pity to see her ruined beauty.
However, she would recover.
Beauty is a woman's weapon. She understood this truth, so she would not let herself be ugly for too long.
When Fourth Miss Lu heard Ye Zhen boast shamelessly that she was a great beauty, she finally couldn't help but want to ridicule her. But when she turned her head and saw Ye Zhen's eyes, which seemed to speak, and her dark but delicate and beautiful facial features, she was suddenly speechless.
If … Third Miss Lu was a little whiter and a little more plump, who would she be worse than?
"I made new clothes for you sisters the other day. The people from Xiuyun House will send them to you in a while. Try them on. You will be dressed up beautifully on the day of the flower appreciation party." Old Madam Lu said with a smile.
All three girls smiled and agreed.
Who doesn't like new clothes, especially the Second Miss Lu? The significance of this flower appreciation party was different from others. It was time for her to get engaged.
It wasn't until an old maid came to discuss things with Old Madam Lu that Ye Zhen and the others left the upper room.
"Third sister, please stay." Ye Zhen knew that Fourth Miss Lu didn't like her, and she didn't like to do things that were cold to her buttocks. When she went out of the courtyard, she wanted to find Pei Shi, but she didn't expect Fourth Miss Lu to call her.
Ye Zhen looked back at the cold and arrogant Fourth Miss Lu and asked with a smile, "Fourth sister, what can I do for you?"
Fourth Miss Lu was half a fist taller than Ye Zhen. She looked at her coldly with a somewhat condescending attitude. "Third sister, you are new to the capital and don't understand the rules here. This sister still needs to give you a few more words."
Give her some advice? Looking at the way she spoke, it didn't seem like she was giving her advice at all, but more like a warning. "Fourth sister, please speak."
"Third sister, you must have never heard of the reputation of the women's college. You think that anyone can go there to study. It's understandable that you want to enter the medical center, but you should also consider the difficulties of your eldest brother. It's not easy for him to become the assistant minister of the Ministry of War. Can he just do whatever he wants and ignore the rules of the college and send you there? At that time, not only will the Lu family become a joke in the capital, but it will also drag down his reputation."
Fourth Miss Lu reminded Ye Zhen with great righteousness. Ye Zhen sneered in her heart. It was really not easy for Lu Lingzhi to become the assistant minister of the Ministry of War. How many people's blood and flesh did he step on? Even she died in his hands.
"Thank you for your advice, fourth sister. I will not let my eldest brother lose face." Ye Zhen pretended to be confused. Fourth Miss Lu didn't want her to go to the women's college because she knew that she would not pass the entrance examination and would affect her reputation in the college.
Fourth Miss Lu's face sank. "So, you still want to go to the college?"
"Why wouldn't I go? Isn't fourth sister also in the women's college? "Ye Zhen looked at her doubtfully. If she didn't enter the women's college, how could she take revenge?
"You …" Fourth Miss Lu was angry. "Can you pass the entrance examination? How much do you know about the six arts? Even if you follow my eldest brother's way to enter the medical center and become a female medical officer in the future, you are just a wild girl who doesn't know anything. Can you get any benefits? Don't implicate the whole Lu family. "
If she could really implicate the whole Lu family to be buried with her, why not?
