Chapter 95
The next one is other girls competing in the tea ceremony. Mrs. Xu whispered in Mrs. Xie's ear, "The girls from the Li family are good, but they are too tall, and they are too strong to be shoulder to shoulder with men. I am afraid that they will compete for the top when they marry into the family in the future."
Mrs. Xie blinked, smiled and nodded, but said nothing.
The other wives were full of admiration on their faces, and they might not think so in their hearts. It is rare for Li Yu to show his sharpness so hard that he won't let a man.
Worrying to overwhelm her son after marrying home, especially this girl from the Li family has shown that she has top-notch intelligence, ability and appearance.
Isn't this a bit too strong? If there is a choice, girls should be gentler and more tolerant.
"It's a pity that Miss Lin is an orphan, otherwise it would be a good choice."
It looks quite decent.
"She is within five marriages. She is indeed pitiful. This fate is inevitably a bit thin."
Mrs. Xu is Xu Dai's mother, and she lowered her voice to talk to the lady next to her.
"is a bit…"
The lady next to her is also a bit pity, her status is not worthy of her.
Marrying a wife is about having both parents. There are many people in the clan, there is a guard of honor, and there is support.
The girls had their own performances, and they all performed well. Some of the girls who were particularly eye-catching were all noticed by the wives.
There are many girls from small families in the school. They attach great importance to this assessment, which means that it will be very beneficial to their evaluation in the future. If there is a wife who can fall in love with him and come to propose marriage, it can be regarded as a bright future.
Li Yu and Lin Yue are very stable this time, they are still in their filial piety period, Lin Yue knows in her heart that the wife who came here today looks down on her, no matter how good her performance is, it is useless.
After all, she is also the daughter of a fourth-rank official in the capital, and she has seen the world.
The family has been wiped out, she belongs to the five unmarried, in troubled times, who would not want to take advantage of the situation to rely on and help each other, there is no benefit in marrying her, and the relationship with the Gu family is just a cousin relationship, which is of little use.
Lin Yue thought that it would be the best policy for her to learn general affairs and middle class with Aunt Wei. After all, she is also an official girl, and even an orphan has her origins.
In the future, if you can find someone to marry into your family, it will be the right way. Your children can study and advance in science examinations without affecting their future. As long as you learn well in general affairs, you will not be short of money in the future, and you can provide your daughter with a good life.
It is not an exaggeration to say that our family is from a poor family. Anyway, my father was a fourth-rank official, so he is well-known.
These were not taught by anyone, but she figured it out after repeated comparisons with her classmates and friends, and she was more grateful to Li Yu in her heart, and she put her heart into it.
Maybe she also knows that there is nothing to do with her today. Lin Yue's previous song was very relaxed, comfortable and eye-catching, and very stable.
"You played the music well today."
"Your painting is really good, but I look at it coldly and it's a bit too majestic. I'm afraid that if the wives discuss it in a meeting, there will always be that old-fashioned dogma."
Lin Yue covered her mouth with her hand and whispered a reminder in Li Yu's ear.
"I don't care about this. The door of the family is not so easy to enter. It may not be a blessing to enter, but a bondage. The rules of the family are strict, especially in Linqi. There are Wang family and Xie family in front of them. The family education is very rigid. It’s a big deal to be wrong.”
"I also found that the girls from the upper class have the best temperament, but they are a little less lively."
"Everyone is a lady, not a rough man like me who can stand shoulder to shoulder."
"I like how you look like sister Ru'er Huier. You are lively, cheerful and lively, and you know the rules very well, and you are smart without being bound by the rules. Miss Xie is very brilliant."
"A good upbringing is to maintain one's own nature, not to suppress one's nature and turn it into a piece of wood. The small families still have a lot to learn. Blindly copying the rules will make the girls lose their characteristics."
The capital city is a place where wealth and power gather, and there is no shortage of capable and visionary talents.
Li Yu and Lin Yue came from the capital after all, and they are also somewhat knowledgeable girls.
"It's true that rules are everywhere here, and it feels much stricter than in the capital."
Lin Yue also felt that there were many differences between this and the rules of the capital.
"You have to make a good appearance outside, so that you don't hurt your family. When you go home, you don't have to be too restrictive. Rules are used to restrain others to protect yourself, not to restrict yourself."
Li Yu smiled in her ear, "My mother told me this, I have to learn and use the rules."
"You are still clever."
Lin Yue smiled.
Soon it was time for the boys to play.
The sons of several families all went up to perform, and Li Rui also went up to be judged by the master for his literary talent and martial arts, which can be regarded as a performance.
Yang Chan's face turned red slightly, and she looked at Li Rui on the stage with a little more consideration in her eyes.
Mrs. Xie is very satisfied with Li Rui. It is not the first time she has met him. These days, when talking about mines, she has come into contact with this child a lot. She is outstanding in all aspects, and her personality is stable and low-key. They are much more mature than their peers, and they are the best candidates for son-in-law.
But... She turned her head to look at Li Yu who was joking, and she was also very reluctant to part with this girl. Marrying into the family would definitely add luster to the Xie family. This girl's talents and learning abilities are really top-notch.
After a monthly exam, everyone had a dispute. Li Yu ranked second, and Wang Hui ranked first.
Lin Yue also ranked tenth, and also passed the assessment. I have to say that she is actually very smart, no worse than anyone else, not as good as Li Yu but not inferior.
Especially this time when I came to Wang’s Academy, I have worked hard to study, and the progress is very obvious.
The ladies went to the front to have tea, and the girls walked and played in the backyard garden.
Gu Lei came, stood still from a distance, and waved to Li Yu and Lin Yue.
The two stepped forward together, "What's the matter?"
"Cousin, the manager of the grocery store hasn't come to you to report it?"
"No, cousin, the grocery store has lost more than 5,000 taels in the past two years. If my aunt doesn't give me the store, it means that my aunt has suffered a loss. You have to check whether my aunt's other dowry properties are tricky."
Lin Yue immediately reminded Gu Lei that there should be no major problems in the aunt's property.
"I see. Don't worry about the management. Leave it to me. I'll check it out."
"Come back and let me know what you found. Let me deal with it. People still need to be retained. Acquaintances are better than new faces. We are unfamiliar with places now, and old people are much easier to use than new ones."
Lin Yue thought about it again and thought that what Aunt Wei said was right. Stewardship and corruption are one thing.
Gu Lei nodded after listening, "I see."
Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly ticket, recommend a ticket, you can do anything, it’s so deserted, where have everyone gone?
