The Mei Family prepared a lot of belongings for Mei Ruohan, including several beddings and sheets. After Guo cleaned up the house for her miss, she also came to help Su Li. The three of them worked together and finally cleaned up the yard before dark.
"Li, I didn't expect you to work so quickly." After a day, Mei Ruohan called Guo more casually. She wiped the sweat on her face and encouraged herself, "It seems that I have to be more independent in the future."
"Oh, Miss!" Guo suddenly became anxious, "How can you do this kind of dirty and tiring work? Let me do it. I can only do this. If you even learn this, I will be driven out of the Miss's Family!"
Guo's serious expression immediately made Su Li and Mei Ruohan laugh. Su Li thought that if there was such a quirky little girl beside her, maybe her life would be much more interesting.
Hearing their laughter, Guo also giggled foolishly. Suddenly, she remembered something and said to Su Li mysteriously,
"Miss Su, you don't know. I heard that your younger sister lives in a yard more than one mile away from the college. The monthly rent is only two hundred taels. If you don't want to be late for class, you have to get up very early to catch up!"
Su Li was not surprised when she heard that. Zhu Yan doted on Su Zipei very much, but her money was almost spent. She couldn't afford to live in a courtyard with a good location. Maybe Su Zipei begged for this courtyard.
In the evening, the three of them had dinner and rested separately. Many things happened during the day, and Mei Ruohan and Guo were very tired.
Su Li had an inborn body, so it didn't matter if she didn't sleep for several days and nights. She meditated and breathed all night and woke up on time in the morning. After getting up and washing, she went to the kitchen to cook a pot of corn porridge of suitable thickness. Then she mixed the fillings with local materials and made three crispy sesame cakes. With the seasonings she brought, the fragrance of the sesame cakes immediately rose to a whole level.
"It smells so good!!"
Guo stretched and got up. Before she went to the kitchen, she sniffed hard. She couldn't help showing an intoxicated expression. Her soul was almost taken away.
"Guo.
What did you make for breakfast today? It smells so good. "
Mei Ruohan walked out of the room without putting on her clothes. Her eyes sparkled like a little glutton.
Guo shook her head and said, "Miss, the sky is still dark, and I just got up. How could I make breakfast?"
"I see …" Mei Ruohan looked disappointed, "It seems that the fragrance came from the yard next door. I didn't expect it to come here."
Guo nodded in agreement. If it were not for the fact that they were not familiar with each other, she really wanted to go next door and ask for some breakfast.
"Miss, you can sleep a little longer. Guo is going to make breakfast."
As Guo spoke, she opened the door of the kitchen. Instantly, she was overwhelmed by a stronger fragrance. She stared at the vague figure in the steaming kitchen and screamed out of fear.
"Ah!"
Mei Ruohan was scared and rushed out of the room. She grasped Guo's hand tightly and said in panic, "What's wrong, Guo? Don't scare me."
She was only sixteen years old, and it was the first time for her to go out. She was already frightened, so she was naturally frightened by Guo's cry.
Guo grabbed Mei Ruohan's hand and pointed to the kitchen, saying incoherently, "Ah! Miss, look, it's our kitchen, it's our kitchen! "
As she spoke, a strand of crystal-clear liquid hung from the corner of her mouth. It smelled so good, I really want to eat it!!
At this time, Su Li came out of the kitchen. Seeing Mei Ruohan and Mei Ruohan, she was stunned and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "Why are you standing here?"
Mei Ruohan looked over Su Li and wanted to see the scene in the kitchen. She held back her saliva and asked, "Li, can you cook? What did you cook? Why does it smell so good? "
Hearing that, Su Li smiled sweetly and said, "I live here. How can I not show my gratitude at all? I happen to know how to cook. Don't blame me for acting on my own. "
"No, no, no!" Before Mei Ruohan said anything, Guo shouted, "Guo and Miss are so happy. Guo has never tasted such a fragrant breakfast in my life. It must be delicious! My Young Miss is the most gluttonous! "
"Guo!"
Hearing Guo's words, Mei Ruohan blushed and pretended to be angry.
Su Li couldn't help laughing and said hurriedly, "Since you are awake, wash up and eat, in case it doesn't taste good when it's cold."
When the two little girls heard this, they immediately nodded in unison, turned around, and ran back to their rooms.
"Miss, slow down. I will help you wash up later!"
"No, I can do it myself!!"
Standing in front of the kitchen, Su Li felt strange. This feeling … Why did she feel like raising two pets?
However, the appearance of these two girls made her feel a little more at ease, which she had been suppressing for a long time.
After a while, Mei Ruohan and Guo finished washing up. Su Li put the breakfast on the table. One sesame seed cake for each of them was just right. After serving corn porridge to them, Guo stepped aside and secretly swallowed her saliva.
Servants had servants' rules. She had to wait for Su Li and Mei Ruohan to finish eating before she went to eat.
Seeing that, Mei Ruohan smiled and served another bowl of corn porridge. She snorted and said, "Come here. This is not my home. There are so many rules."
Hearing that, Guo was happy, but she still didn't dare to come over.
Rules were rules. Su Li was also a miss of the family. Without her permission, how could she dare to sit at the same table?
Su Li was stunned, and then shook her head and laughed. She waved her hand in Mei Ruohan's expectant eyes and said softly, "Come and sit down. I have never regarded you as a servant, Little Guo."
Hearing that, Guo 'er's eyes became warm and she almost shed tears. Even the Young Miss didn't say such words to her.
Su Li slightly pursed her lips. This situation was very similar, but her situation was different from Guo's. In the previous life, she was a miss of the Su Family, but she couldn't eat at the same table with her parents. No one treated her like Guo.
Guoer sat down and wiped her hands. She picked up the sesame seed cake and took a bite. It made a crisp sound. The shrimp seed filling wrapped in refined salt mixed with the fragrance of coarse grain. It burst on the tip of the tongue and became indescribable sweetness.
"Hmm …"
Mei Ruohan stared at the sesame seed cake in her hand. It looked almost the same as the one sold outside. How could Su Li make it so delicious!
Guo almost bit her tongue. She had never eaten any delicious food. She didn't even eat much of the ordinary sesame seed cake sold in the town. Eating such delicious food at once, she was so happy that she wanted to cry. God … Oh no, Miss Su Li was so kind to her!
After taking a bite of the sesame seed cake and drinking a mouthful of the moderately hot corn porridge, Mei Ruohan felt as if all her pores had been opened by this simple breakfast. She woke up from the tiredness in the morning and became full of vigor.
"Li, the food you make is so delicious. If you can't be a female official in the future, you can definitely make a lot of money by opening a restaurant!"
Mei Ruohan's eyes were full of little stars of worship, "However, I believe that with your talent, it will be easy for you to be an official if you participate in the cultural competition!"
Su Li shook her head and said, "It's not so easy. Don't say it. It's almost time for class. Let's go. "
Mei Ruohan screamed and found that it was almost seven o 'clock in the morning. She and Su Li hurriedly took the books and ran out of the yard, leaving Guo to look after the house.
After getting along with Su Li for a day, Mei Ruohan's eyes changed a lot. As long as she was with Su Li, she would feel very at ease. She was one year older than Su Li, but why was she more like a child in front of Su Li?
Mei Ruohan was amazed in her heart. There was always someone better than her. Compared with Su Li, her excellence seemed to be overshadowed.
She had to work harder!
The first class in the morning was literature. Su Li and Mei Ruohan separated and came to the gate of Class A. When Ning Yunzhi saw her, he immediately showed a kind smile and said, "You are here. Hurry up and find a place to sit down."
Ning Yunzhi's performance immediately made many surprised eyes fall on Su Li, but no one asked questions. They restrained their thoughts and resumed to review their lessons.
Su Li sat down and took out the Dictionary of Dahan to review.
When Ning Yunzhi saw this scene, he couldn't help but nod slightly. Although the Class A led by him couldn't be compared with Su Li, each of them also stood out after going through many tests.
It could be said that every miss from aristocratic family who could sit here was an outstanding woman with good character and appearance. It was not impossible for them to embark on an official career and bring honor to their ancestors in the future.
After the morning reading, Ning Yunzhi began to teach. He was young and had rich experience. Every time he talked about something wonderful, he could always quote from other sources. The students were fascinated. Even Su Li also learned something.
When Su Li was listening carefully, Ning Yunzhi was also observing her secretly. After the class, he appreciated Su Li more. She had such achievements in learning at such a young age, but she was not arrogant or rash. She still worked very hard. Such a temperament couldn't be compared with ordinary people. The master really had a good vision.
After the first class, Ning Yunzhi left directly and didn't talk to Su Li, so as not to annoy others. As soon as he left, many classmates immediately came up to inquire about the situation. Su Li dealt with them with ease and then turned away to go to the teacher of the second class, leaving a group of misses secretly praising her.
Su Li looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, but her ability to deal with people was very shrewd. They tried to coax her for a long time, but they didn't get any useful information.
Following the information on the wooden sign, Su Li found the classroom of the second class. When she entered the door, she saw dozens of rusted tables.
The second class was embroidery.
Although a few women in the Dahan Country entered the imperial court and a few became generals to fight for the country, most women were still the vassals of men. After they married their husbands, they took the responsibility of supporting their husbands and educating their children. Therefore, the skill of female worker was essential. If a woman could master embroidery well, she could also reduce the economic burden of her husband's family.
Su Li glanced at the people present and saw Su Zipei and Mei Ruohan at a glance. The students were divided into different classes, but the embroidery was not affected. At this moment, the people sitting together to listen to the class were still a group of people who entered the school with her.
Su Li sat down. After a while, a thin and tall lady came in from the door. The lady had high cheekbones, thin lips, and a pair of thin and long eyebrows. Although her makeup was delicate, she gave people an extremely mean feeling.
"I am your female morality teacher and embroidery teacher." The woman's voice was as sharp as her appearance, "You can call me Lecturer Cui or Mrs. Yang. But … personally, I prefer to hear you call me Mrs. Yang. "
As she said that, Madam Yang revealed a proud look. Several local misses in the room heard the words and their faces changed slightly. There was only one famous Yang Family in the Muyang Town. Lecturer Cui could enter that family … It was really something to be proud of.
But such blatant showing off exposed Mrs. Yang's inferiority complex and shallow personality. Could such a vulgar woman really be their teacher?
For a moment, many people doubted.
Mrs. Yang didn't notice their thoughts. When she saw the faces of those misses changed, she was more complacent. Then she began to teach. Only her voice was left in the class.
After a quarter of an hour, the contempt on the faces of many misses disappeared.
Mrs. Yang could enter the Muyang School as a lecturer. Her knowledge of embroidery was really admirable. The Han embroidery of the Dahan Country was described vividly by her.
Although the young ladies of the various families practiced Han Embroidery at home, they didn't know much about the system. Mrs. Yang talked about the history of Han embroidery and the techniques of Han embroidery, which made up for their shortcomings.
After the brief introduction, most of the class time had passed. Mrs. Yang took a breath. The students thought she would continue, but she changed the topic and asked,
