Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Xing'er had been serving Xiao Bingyan since three years ago. For a long time, she had been the most capable maidservant around her. Although she was paid two strings of monthly salary now, she acted like a first-class maidservant. Even in the young lady's own courtyard, which maidservant or maidservant did not do things according to her orders?

But now the girl seemed to want to elevate the subtle fragrance that appeared in the middle, she was worried that she would lose her status.

Seeing Anxiang being sent back by Xiao Bingyan to recuperate, Xing'er felt an indescribable jealousy deep in her heart.

"Miss, I don't know where that faint fragrance comes from, so you should be a little wary of her." Xing'er replaced Xiao Bingyan's cup with a large pot of strong tea and couldn't help but remind her.

Xiao Bingyan used the small lid to sweep the tea residue, her eyelids drooping, and said softly, "A person's innate character can be seen from his eyes. Anxiang's eyes are firm, not like the person Miss Xie described."

"How long has the young lady been in contact with Anxiang? How long has Miss Xie been with Anxiang? How can we tell at once?" Xing'er said unwillingly. Every word she said was out of worry that Xiao Bingyan would be deliberately deceived.

"You haven't had much contact with Anxiang, so why are you so sure that she would be servile and do evil things? Are you refuting my view of people?" Xiao Bingyan's eyes were a little heavy, and her gaze fell lightly on Xing'er's face.

Xing'er hung her head and said, "I don't have the courage to do that. I just want to care about you, and I'm afraid you'll be cheated."

Is it my own illusion? I always feel that the young lady has changed a lot since she came to Jinyun City. Although she was very calm in the past, she was not as calm and decisive as she is now.

Moreover, the young lady seemed to be able to see everything clearly, and there was a faint, invisible and imposing aura.

Xiao Bingyan glanced at Xing'er and sent her away.

She really wanted to find a reason to transfer Xing'er away from her, but she was helpless because she was the only maidservant she could use in her small garden. Even if she wanted to let her go, she couldn't find a suitable person to replace her...

After shaking her head slightly, Xiao Bingyan stood up and went to the east room to read.

A few days passed, and Xiao's face gradually became radiant. She was no longer exhausted like before, so she put her energy into finding a teacher for Xiao Bingyan. In Xiao's view, although Bingyan was just a girl, she knew that she couldn't just study women's books, poetry, and etiquette. The Tang Dynasty had very relaxed requirements for women, so she naturally hoped that her daughter could learn more, not only knowledge but also views on the court, so that she would not be easily framed in this world.

They are already in the vortex, so how can they survive and thrive in this ever-changing court requires skill and a shrewd mind.

"Mom, I want to go to the Women's College to take a look." Xiao Bingyan didn't want to invite a teacher to stay at home. It was like that in her previous life, but this time she no longer wanted to just sit at home, knowing nothing about the outside world and only relying on the maid's unobtrusive inquiries and transmissions. After experiencing so many memories, she just wanted to live a life different from the past.

She wanted to live a freer, more comfortable and better life.

"Women's college? Bingyan, what you learn in a women's college may not be what you need." Xiao said that she had heard of the Women's College in Jinyun City and it had a good reputation, but she still felt it would be better to pay a high price to invite a teacher to come to her home to teach.

There were women's academies opened by the court in many places in the Tang Dynasty, but there were not many women who could actually study in the academies. Generally, they were the daughters of bureaucrats in power. However, natural aristocrats like the Wei family would never let their girls go to the academy.

However, the Women's College in Jinyun City is incomparable to other places. The female teachers who have been guarding the college for a long time are well-known favored girls.

I heard from others that she was born into a wealthy family, but she met the wrong man and her husband favored his concubine over his wife. This woman was unwilling to be cruelly oppressed by her aunt, so she wrote a letter of divorce. Instead, many women in the world cheered her on. There were also many good men who felt that this woman was as solid as a rock, competitive, talented, and very respectable.

Later, she became the wife of the principal of Yunlu College in Jinyun City and became Mrs. Han. Later, with the dedicated help of Principal Han, Mrs. Han opened a women's college with the support of the government. Because Mrs. Han behaved steadily and was friendly to others, she had many students.

Xiao Bingyan had heard all these in her previous life. She had not had the opportunity to make friends with them before, but this time she wanted to find a chance to get close to them.

"Mom, what is taught in the women's college is not necessarily worse than what the head teacher teaches. Besides, I can make friends with others in the college. As the saying goes, if there are three people walking together, there must be one who can be my teacher. I can also learn something from other girls." Xiao Bingyan tried hard to advise Xiao.

Xiao smiled gently, "You know how to find opportunities. That's good. I'll take a look at this women's college tomorrow. If it's really good, you can go there to learn from a master."

After Xiao Bingyan heard this, she immediately felt happy. As long as her mother agreed, this matter would not be a problem. "Yes, mother."

The next day, Xiao took Xiao He to the Women's College, and talked with Mrs. Han for most of the day. He secretly admired this female teacher who was very popular in Jinyun City. After returning home, he nodded and agreed to let Xiao Bingyan go to the Women's College to learn from a master. However, it happened to be the college's holiday now, and she could not go to the college to study until a month later.

Due to the colder climate, such a holiday is a strict regulation of the court and cannot be skipped.

A few days later, Xiao sent an invitation letter, sincerely inviting Mrs. Han to visit their home. Mrs. Han also wanted to meet Xiao Bingyan, her student, so she accepted Xiao's invitation.

Xiao Bingyan went outside to greet Mrs. Han in person.

From a distance, a lapis lazuli and jade sandalwood carriage was seen approaching and stopped in front of the Wei family's gate. A maid between fifteen and sixteen years old got out of the carriage, set up the leg rest, and helped a middle-aged woman in a light blue coat get out.

This was a woman with outstanding grace, steadiness, and elegance. Her features were very calm and peaceful. When she got out of the car and saw Xiao Bingyan, she smiled warmly.

"This must be Mrs. Han. Bingyan sends you her respectful greetings. I have wanted to have a spiritual meeting with you for a long time. I am really happy to see you today." Little Bingyan bowed to Mrs. Han and invited her in with a smile.

Mrs. Han only half-received the greeting and held up Xiao Bingyan's hand. "Miss Wei, there is no need to be so fussy about the details."

"Mother has been waiting for you for a long time, Mrs. Han, please follow me in." Xiao Bingyan knew that she was not yet Mrs. Han's student, and she must be too polite to herself.

Mrs. Han nodded with a smile. Although she and Mrs. Wei had only just met, she already felt that the other was someone worthy of friendship. She was very happy to keep the appointment today. It was also for this reason that she liked Miss Wei even more now that she saw that she was not a frivolous and impetuous person.

A person's upbringing can be seen from the small details in her behavior. Mrs. Wei was born into a scholarly family, so it's natural that her daughter would be good.

On the way in, Mrs. Han picked out several obvious questions for Xiao Bingyan to answer. Xiao Bingyan answered them one by one patiently and carefully, not too sharp nor too silly, which made Mrs. Han more satisfied with such a student.

When they were almost at the main room, they saw Xiao He coming hurriedly. When she saw Xiao Bingyan and Mrs. Han walking together, she immediately bowed.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Bingyan asked confusedly. Xiao He had always been calm and steady, and rarely showed such an anxious expression.

"Miss, the madam suddenly fainted." Xiao He said with concentration.
