Noble Lady Jing Zhao

Chapter 9 Studying at Home
Early the next morning, Ye Jingzhao was about to go out to school.

But he was stopped at the gate.

Looking back, it was Nanny Liao who was next to the second aunt.

Nanny Liao walked up to her and gave a vain salute.

"Miss Si, the second wife said that you don't have to go to school today."

Ye Jingzhao frowned, this was the first time he encountered it.

"Our lady invites you to come over."

Nanny Liao continued to explain with a compensating smile.

Ye Jingzhao didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Erfang's gourd, so he had to take a step to see.

Stayed in the second room.

Mrs. Jiang was checking the accounts with the nurse in charge in the house.

Seeing her coming, he threw the account book in his hand to the nurse in charge, signaling her to leave.

The nanny in charge respectfully responded, Ye Jingzhao turned sideways to let the nanny out of the way.

Only when there was no one else in the main room, did I salute.

"Get up."

Jiang waved his hand lazily, motioning for Nanny Liao to help her sit down.

"Master and I have heard about the third uncle's matter. You have an idea in your heart when I call you here today. Your second uncle can't count on this matter."

Jiang came straight to the point, and Ye Jingzhao was a little surprised.

"You are still young and don't understand the ways of officialdom."

"Niece understands."

Ye Jingzhao got up and saluted again.

Jiang became a little impatient and said, "It doesn't have to be like this."

Ye Jingzhao sat down again, waiting for Jiang to continue speaking.

"In this matter, if there is anyone who can help, only your uncle is left. Just wait patiently."

Ye Jingzhao nodded slightly.

He understood in his heart that Jiang's rhetoric was just to get the second wife out.

After all, my eldest uncle accompanied my grandmother and several uncles and aunts to their ancestral home in Anzhou to worship their ancestors.

It’s been one month since my grandmother returned to Kyoto in her previous life.

If he really waits until then, will his father still be alive?

"I called you here today, and I have one more thing to tell you. There is no need to go to Yuming Academy in the future. I can study with Mr. Song at home with your third sister in the school."

Ye Jingzhao was startled. The Jiang family never mentioned this matter in his previous life.

But rather than staying at home to study, she would rather go to Yuming Academy.

In this way, I don't have to see my third sister every day.

"Second Aunt, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. How can I disturb Third Sister's homework..."

She whispered softly, trying her best to calm her emotions.

"how?"

Jiang glanced sideways, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

She knew that this matter could not be changed.

I have to accept it temporarily.

Grandma Liao stepped forward and took her to the school at home.

In the school of Bofu, Mr. Song, who is well-known in Beijing, is invited.

Mr. Song is now sixty years old and has lived alone all his life.

He was also a romantic figure in Kyoto back then.

Later, he entered Yuming Academy and became a teacher.

Later, he taught several girls from Master Ruan's family, the dean of Yuming Academy.

One is the current queen.

The other is Jiang's natal sister-in-law.

The Jiang family had been favored since childhood, and when their children were enlightened, they went to their parents' home to ask for Mr. Song.

For these years, Mr. Song has been living in Bofu.

When Sanfang first returned to Kyoto, Jiang used the excuse that she might not be able to keep up with Mr. Song's classwork.

Send her to Yuming Academy.

The outside world only said that Jiang's generosity.

But she understood that Jiang was just afraid that she would get caught in front of Mr. Song.

It will only become a stumbling block for my daughter in the future.

Ye Jingzhao has never met this Mr. Song, so he has heard a little about it.

There are inevitably some rumors on the street, but Mr. Song is young and energetic, and is not attractive to ordinary women.

And live a proud life.

Even in the uncle's mansion to teach the young lady of the uncle's mansion.

He treats everyone equally regardless of his concubines.

The Bofu School is located in the wing room on the pond in the back garden.

On both sides of the wing room, there are gurgling water and the fragrance of birds and flowers. The door is wide open and the bamboo curtain is half rolled.

The smell of sandalwood in the house makes people calm down.

Mr. Song held the scroll in one hand and carried it behind his back with the other, with gray temples.

Dressed in white, with a slightly stooped body, she walked in the room step by step in silence among the poems and books.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of someone coming at the door, paused his voice, and waved to the empty seat next to him.

Nanny Liao understood, thanked her with a smile, and led Ye Jingzhao to the empty seat.

Before leaving, he still reminded him in a low voice, "Miss Si, Mr. Song likes to be quiet, please don't disturb me."

She knew what Mr. Song liked.

He teaches and educates people, and he upholds the habit of doing whatever he wants.

Hongzao put down the items she wanted to bring to school and was about to pack them for her herself.

Mr. Song frowned and stared displeasedly.

She quickly apologized, and raised her hand to signal Hongzao to retreat.

The girl sitting in front of her is the second cousin Ye Jingmiao, the concubine of the big house.

Ye Jingmiao is in front of Ye Jingyun, the second wife's concubine, the third cousin of the Jiang family.

There were only three of them and sisters in the school, and the young master and young lady next to the uncle's house all followed their grandmother to Anzhou.

Mr. Song finished his lessons, got up and left the school.

Ye Jingyun then stood up and walked to Ye Jingzhao and stopped, looking down at her who was still sitting where she was.

Smiling contemptuously, "Fourth sister is really lucky."

She was insinuating that Ye Jingzhao was able to come to his home school to study because of his father's suspension.

Ye Jingzhaoyun tidied up the items on the desk, and replied lightly, "Why, is it possible that the third sister also wants this blessing?"

"Fourth sister, people, you must learn to behave well!"

Ye Jingyun looked at her with some warning.

She met the gaze of the third sister Ye Jingyun, smiled, and said nothing.

Ye Jingyun, who was devastated, didn't bother to argue with her anymore, and left the school with his sleeves shaken.

This third sister has been doted on by the Jiang family since she was a child.

She is arrogant and rude, but because she is concerned about the demeanor of a prostitute, she never stands out.

Thinking about coming today because she will study with them in the future, she is so angry.

The second cousin who had been tidying up her things silently just now stopped, turned around and looked at her with a faint smile.

With some kindness, "Fourth younger sister will study with Mr. Song with us in the future?"

Since she returned to the uncle's residence, this was the first time she saw the second cousin.

Since the eldest housewife's mother is not there, mother doesn't have to take her to the big house.

This second cousin is the daughter of the eldest daughter, Aunt Xu.

I used to play together when I was young, but that memory is long gone.

Even in her previous life, she rarely interacted with this second cousin.

I just remember that he has a dull and seldom-spoken temperament, which seems to be transparent in the Bofu.

"Ah."

"It would be nice for us to study together in the future."

Looking at it like this, she could guess that Ye Jingmiao must have been crushed hard by Ye Jingyun in school.

She showed her kindness in this way, maybe she saw the dispute between herself and Ye Jingyun just now.

Although Ye Jingzhao didn't want to make enemies, he also didn't want to make friends with Ye Jingmiao easily.

After all, their past and present lives are counted among them.

That doesn't mean much friendship.

"Second sister, I'm going back first."

Hongzao stepped forward to take the arranged books from her, and then helped Miss Fourth to leave the school.

After returning to Zhitingyuan, Xie learned that her daughter would study at home in the future.

Mixed joys and sorrows.

Ye Jingzhao was still worried about the reply from outside.

Only then did Hongzao send a letter to Nan'an Daying. Although he didn't see anyone, the credible item has been sent out.

Now I'm just waiting for a reply.

Now he can't go out with the excuse of going out to study.

How did you get this reply?

Ye Jingzhao was worried about this matter, and his second brother returned just at this time.
