[Red House] The Twins of Purple Pearls

A letter from the Rongguo Palace in the capital, Jia Zhu's wife Li Shi gave birth to the eldest grandson, Jia Lan.

Jia Min was overjoyed when he heard the news, and picked out congratulatory gifts to send to the capital; turning around, he saw Yanyu and Daiyu, who had just recovered from illness, sitting quietly reading a book in the warm pavilion, and Yan'er was crawling on the Huanghuali Gaoweizi Arhat bed playing with cloth tigers Jia Min asked their sisters: "Yan'er Yuer, do you want to write to your grandmother?"

Because Jia Min would usually tell the two daughters about their grandfather's family, the sisters also knew a thing or two about the situation of Jia's family.

"Mother, let me give my painting to my grandmother!" Yanyu took out the previous painting from the box and handed it to Jia Min, with Daiyu's poem on it.

On the contrary, Daiyu covered her lips and smiled lightly: "My sister's paintings are all very good, if you embroider the paintings, it will be even more exquisite."

Yan Yu turned her head and gave her younger sister a false look, and then she heard Jia Min thinking of saying to them: "It just so happened that the Li family sent a letter of greeting; the fourth wife of the Li family, Mrs. Jiang, used to be a female teacher in the palace, and now she opened a girls' school in the south courtyard. Our family is closely related to the Li family, and it just so happens that Mr. Zhao is ill and can no longer serve as a teacher in the family, so your sisters go to the school of Mrs. Jiang; Mrs. Jiang is a talented woman nowadays, and she has learned a lot."

Suddenly hearing this, both Yan Yu and Dai Yu were very surprised.

They had met Mrs. Jiang at Xu's house, but they had not heard of Mrs. Jiang opening a school.

"Miss Fifth Xu and Miss Zhuang Ba also went to the school." Jia Min said with a smile.

Mrs. Jiang has a great reputation and was once a female teacher in the palace; now the news of her establishment of a girls' school has spread, and the big families in the south of the Yangtze River are vying to send their girls to the school to be taught by Mrs. Jiang.

Just going to the South Campus Academy means leaving home thousands of miles away.

Yanyu didn't have much resistance. From the sky to the world, her sister is the most important thing for her, and it's good to be with her. But it's the first time that Daiyu is far away from home. Very reluctantly.What's more, I only knew that the man left home thousands of miles just to study and gain fame, but he never heard of sending his daughter to study in a school outside.

Yan'er was learning to speak, and Daiyu teased her younger brother to teach him to call him elder sister.

Wang Momo said with a smile: "Back when the eldest sister was half a year old, she was able to call Mrs. Madam, and the second sister also knew how to speak early."

Yanyu felt a little guilty when she heard it, after all, she was not like her younger sister who was an ignorant baby who just bore the name of precocious wisdom.

"Yan'er, can my sister read to you?" Dai Yu asked while hugging Yan'er.

Yan'er couldn't understand what her sister was saying, so she just giggled and babbled.

Daiyu opened the "Book of Songs" and found an article and read it aloud: "In the past, I went away, and the willows were Yiyi. Now I come to think about it, and it is raining and snowing. The road is slow, and I am thirsty and hungry. My heart is sad, I don’t know I mourn!"

"Yu'er likes "Caiwei" very much?" Yanyu asked with a smile.

"The road is slow, full of thirst and hunger. My heart is sad, but I don't know my sorrow! The war is not over yet, and the hometown is already covered with heavy snow; the weeds have sprouted, and the Tangdi flowers are in full bloom, but the soldiers on the border have failed Go back to my hometown." Daiyu said with deep emotion, holding the scroll in her arms.

Once Lin Ruhai told them the stories in the Book of Songs, and Daiyu listened carefully.

Yanyu listened to her younger sister's recitation full of affection, she only had a sense of pride that my sister is so smart.

Fairy Jing Huan wants Yu'er to be trapped in love and tears to die, but her younger sister is a talented woman with a wide range of books and vision, and she will never let Fairy Jing Huan succeed in her scheme.

"Sister, if we go to the South Campus to study, Yan'er won't recognize us when we come back, what should we do?" Daiyu asked very worriedly.

Looking down at the younger brother who was at a loss, Yanyu smiled lightly and remained silent.

The South Campus started classes after the Double Ninth Festival. The autumn wind swept the fallen leaves, and the autumn rain was like silk, dissipating the remaining summer heat.

Yue Bai and Ye Zi packed the girl's simple luggage, and Jia Min picked out a green luan-patterned jade biscuit from the storeroom and gave it to Mrs. Jiang.

Yanyu and Daiyu sat on the veranda behind the bamboo curtain to enjoy the coolness, the cold raindrops splashed on the table from the bamboo curtain, and the light tea fragrance escaped from the bamboo tea stove.

Mrs. Jiang's reputation for being strict was asserted by Li Wen himself. When she goes to the South Academy, she will no longer be able to relax like she is at home.Because it is a girls' school, Mrs. Jiang not only teaches the girls to read and write, but also has the skills of virtue and speech that noble girls of the family must learn.

The stove was burning vigorously, and smoke curled up from the stove, Daiyu picked up the tea kettle and scooped up the green tea: "Sister, you should try the tea I brewed."

Yanyu was staring at the continuous rain outside, only to regain her senses when she heard Daiyu calling her, took a sip of the tea from the teacup handed to her; she didn't know how to taste tea, she only felt the sweetness lingering and the lingering fragrance endless.

"My mother collected the snow water buried under the tung tree last year, and I asked my mother for half a can to make tea." Daiyu said enthusiastically.

"The lotus leaf dew collected in Yunqi Pavilion last time, I can't drink any difference." Yanyu sighed.

"The mother said that you have to taste it carefully to understand the taste." Daiyu filled the cup on the table, and the light blue tea was clear in color.

The autumn wind was blowing on her face and she felt a little cool. Yanyu got up and went back to the house to add clothes. She saw that Yubai was still busy in the house; when she heard Yanyu's voice, she turned around and said, "Elder sister, the wife means that Ye Zi and I will go along with you." The two sisters are going to school." Yu Bai and Ye Zi were the maids in the girl's house, and they usually served the girl closely.

Not every girl can enter the Southern Academy, after all, Mrs. Jiang has limited energy.

Xu Yuming is the granddaughter of the Li family, Zhuang Mu and the sisters of the Lin family are all related to the Li family, and then there is Zhen Yan, a girl from the Jinling Zhen family, Jiang Yao Jiang Shi, the niece of Mrs. Jiang's natal family, and Liu Ning'an, a girl from the Li family. and Xue Luo, the youngest daughter of General Xue; there are four daughters in the Li family. Miss Li Shu.

The south courtyard is the house where Mrs. Jiang married as a dowry. Because the four rooms of the Li family have not been separated, only the servants usually clean the south courtyard.Now Mrs. Jiang has turned the south courtyard into a school, and placed the girls in the wing rooms in the two courtyards, and the Linfeng Pavilion in the backyard has hung bamboo curtains to make it a school.

Yanyu and Daiyu boarded the carriage after the Double Ninth Festival. Before leaving, Jia Min sewed a dogwood sachet for their sisters to wear, and brought a dowry box: "This is a gift for the other girls." Inside is Jia Min has already prepared ten exquisite pearl-embedded jadeite necklaces.

"Yan'er Yu'er, you have to listen carefully to Miss Jiang's teaching." Jia Min said again.

The two sisters agreed naturally.

They are familiar with Yu Ming and Zhuang Mu, and also know Li Wen; as for the other girls, they only see each other occasionally during festivals and banquets.

Liu Ning'an, a girl from the Duke of Li's family, is the sister-in-law of the second cousin of the Xu family, Xu Yuyun, with a lively personality; Zhen Yan is the niece of Concubine Zhen in the palace.And Xue Luo is the youngest daughter of the emperor's close minister, Xue Ying, the great general Xue Ying; if it is said that the Xue family is strange, Xue Ying's wife is the emperor's elder sister, Princess Wen'an, and his only son, Xue Song, also married the emperor's eldest daughter, Princess Heqing. It's a pity that Xue Song was implicated and killed during the Pingfeng Rebellion three years ago, but his father, General Xue, was not implicated because of this. For the princess.

The struggle between King Zhao and King Jin is in full swing above the court, and the Xue family of Zhao Wang's wife family and the Zhen family of the Jin Queen's mother family are naturally incompatible.

Now that Zhen Yan and Xue Luo are in the South School, Jia Min carefully told the two daughters not to get involved in their grievance disputes.

Yanyu and Daiyu carefully wrote down their mother's instructions before getting into the carriage and leaving home.

The carriage was staggering, and Daiyu read a few pages of the book in her hand, and when she was tired, she leaned on the carriage and closed her eyes to rest.

"Girl, drink some water!" Ye Zi, who was sitting next to her, poured a glass of water and handed it to Daiyu, and Daiyu opened her eyes in a daze.

"If you're tired, go to sleep for a while." Yanyu said when she saw her sister getting tired.

Daiyu drank half a cup of mint tea before rubbing her eyes: "How long will it take to get to the South Courtyard?"

Yue Bai comforted her: "Manager Qian said it's about half a day's drive away."

Yanyu pulled her younger sister affectionately, and Daiyu leaned on her and talked to her older sister; perhaps Jia Min asked too much before leaving, which made her a little uneasy.Originally, he went to the South Campus to study with Mrs. Jiang, but he had a relationship with the Zhen and Xue families. Obviously, he couldn't be easy.

Daiyu is thoughtful, and now she can't help worrying about accidents.

"Don't think too much, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge." Yanyu saw what was on her sister's mind and said.

"Sister, I have brought that book." Daiyu took out the "Bao Ren An Shu" she had been reading recently and handed it to Yan Yu, raised her head and said seriously, "Taking history as a mirror can at least avoid the mistakes made by the predecessors. Sima Tai Shigong was punished for Li Ling's intercession, and Ren An was sentenced to death by Emperor Wu for sitting on the sidelines. Nowadays, the situation in the court is changing, and the courtiers are fighting endlessly. Such things have been staged countless times in the past dynasties. "

Yanyu didn't expect her younger sister to come up with such a theory, and she felt relieved after being shocked.

I still remember Fairy Yulian, the flower god, said that their sisters are really unique; she devotes herself to practicing fairy arts, while her younger sister hangs around in the library of Muhuan Xiandong.

But why was her knowledgeable younger sister deceived by Fairy Jing Huan?Thinking of it, Yanyu felt even more bizarre.

"Then what happened in the future?" Yan Yu frowned slightly, a little worried.

Even though Lin Ruhai is now a foreign official, it is inevitable that he will be involved in this dispute when he returns to Beijing after his term of office expires.From ancient times to the present, if you follow the new emperor and win the merits of being a dragon in the battle for the reserve position, you will rise to the top;

Yanyu shook her head hard in her heart, she would never allow such a thing to happen.

The disintegration of the Lin family is precisely in the fate of Fairy Jing Huan. She must prevent this possibility from happening, so that she can protect her younger sister through this life in peace and stability, and then return to the sky of Lihen.

Yanyu has secretly made up her mind.
