Chapter 12
As soon as this remark came out, the three people present were a little surprised except Yun Miaoqing.
Wen Taicang was bored, although he was surprised, he didn't say much, but Ginkgo yelled directly.
"My God! Are you stupid? You want to study at such a great opportunity? What do you want to study? Could it be that you pretend to be a man and want to take an exam in the future? Let me tell you, if you don't pass the exam Fortunately, if you study well and win the rankings, and you enter the palace to meet the emperor in the future, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor. I think our young lady took part in the imperial examination without telling the truth. Fortunately, the master found out in time and did not break out of the imperial examination. Woe."
Huo Lan had heard Ginkgo mention this matter in his previous life.Yun Miaoqing is talented and good at studying, not to mention that her brother is inferior to her, even looking at the whole capital, her knowledge is unmatched among her peers.
At that time, she was only 16 years old, when she was young and full of vigor, she saw her elder brother Yun Shujian became an official, but because she was born as a daughter, she didn't have this opportunity, so she pretended to take part in the imperial examination under an alias, and waited for Yun Zhimiao to find out At that time, Yun Miaoqing's papers had already been approved by the emperor himself and selected people into the palace examination list.
Yun Zhimiao took his daughter into the palace overnight to plead guilty, explained the reason, and petitioned His Majesty to withdraw Yun Miaoqing's qualification for the palace examination and replace her with another candidate.
The man on the dragon chair didn't get angry when he heard it, but he stroked his beard and laughed and praised: "Yun Xiangsheng's good daughter, she is really a woman, and she is more promising than my sons who can only play cats and dogs." gone."
"Your Majesty isn't really angry, am I? But the master got very angry when he came back, and locked the young lady in the mansion and didn't allow her to leave the house. This test lasted for four years!" Ginkgo said this in her previous life. Miao Qing is not fair.
This incident caused quite a commotion in the capital. Many people heard that Yun Xiang's family had an amazing daughter who was praised by the Holy Master himself. However, Yun Zhimiao was not at all happy. For the past four years, Yun Miaoqing's Friends can visit her in the house, but Yun Miaoqing can only stay at home and is not allowed to go anywhere.
Not only that, Yun Zhimiao also rejected all the people who came to propose marriage on the grounds that Yun Miaoqing still had to stay behind closed doors and contemplate her mistakes. Yun Miaoqing's good marriage was delayed in this way, until Yun Zhimiao died of illness, Yun Miaoqing This ban is lifted.
When Gingko and Huo Lan talked about this that day, they had known each other for a long time. Gingko told Huo Lan privately: "It's strange to say, people say that our master is too strict with Miss, and he doesn't like our Miss, but you You know, before the master died, he called his wife, the young master, the young lady, Brother Wen and our personal servants, and said that from now on, the young lady's words will be his words, and the family affairs are all up to the young lady's decision. You say he is so Do you like our lady or not?"
It is not clear whether Yun Xiang likes her daughter Huo Lan or not, but she has an intuition that Yun Zhimiao is doing this to protect Yun Miaoqing.
"I don't want to study." Huo Lan withdrew his thoughts from the memory, and answered Gingko, "I just want to read more books to gain knowledge."
What she said is not a lie. In her previous life, she did not specifically ask Yun Miaoqing to teach her because she thought it was unnecessary. In this life, since she wants to fight for power, she must at least read some history books and learn some strategies, otherwise she will continue to be so ignorant How can you beat others?
It's just that she is still a country girl now, and it seems strange to others that she wants to study. When Wang Cuicui said that she envied the young lady from a rich family to go to school, didn't none of Qu Meng's group understand?
Huo Lan looked at Yun Miaoqing apprehensively, a little worried about being rejected, but Yun Miaoqing was not as surprised as Ginkgo showed, but had some appreciation in her eyes, as if she was very satisfied with her answer.
"It's fine to teach you how to read." Yun Miaoqing said leisurely, "But teaching you how to read is not worth a wild boar. Have you thought about what else to exchange?"
"I can still pick fruit every day..." Huo Lan whispered.She doesn't have much money, and she can't even afford to pay the old man in the village, not to mention that Yun Miaoqing is on the same level as that old man, Huo Lan really can't think of how she can pay back. This love.
"Forget about the fruit. Your arm is injured. Don't move around recently." Yun Miaoqing said as she got up and stretched her waist to exercise her muscles. Now, let’s start learning today.”
Huo Lan was very excited all morning, he couldn't tell if it was because he wanted to get in touch with the new thing of reading, or because he would have more opportunities to stay with Yun Miaoqing.
In the morning after Yun Miaoqing said that, she went back to her room. Ginkgo led Huo Lan around the house and introduced her to the other servants in the house.Everyone looked at Huo Lan with surprise and curiosity, but generally speaking they were friendly.
Yun Miaoqing ate lunch alone in her own room, Wen Taicang ate with several guards in the backyard, and Huo Lan sat at the wooden table outside the kitchen with Ginkgo Xiaohe and A Liang. A wild boar ginseng soup.
Xiao He and several other servant girls saw a wild boar being delivered yesterday, and they waited all night, holding bowls and waiting for the cook, Aunt Han, to fill them with soup one by one.After finishing serving them, Aunt Han took Huo Lan's bowl and filled it up for her, and even picked out a few pieces of good meat.
Huo Lan hasn't had a serious hot meal for a long time. Aunt Han is good at cooking. Huo Lan's stomach was gurgling with the scent before the soup was cooked. Now a bowl of soup After eating, I just feel comfortable in all limbs, thanks to the fact that her actual age is not as old as Xiao He and the others, otherwise she would probably join the ranks of Xiao He and the others licking the bowl.
Ginkgo went to deliver food to Yun Miaoqing, and she still carried the food box she took back from Yun Miaoqing in her hand.She opened the lid of the box and took out the plate inside. The food on the plate was hardly touched. Everyone seemed to be used to this, and no one said anything.
"Miss... hasn't she had any soup?" Huo Lan saw that Gingko brought out only two plates of vegetarian dishes, and there were no extra empty bowls in the food box.
"Miss is wearing mourning for the master, and she wants to be a vegetarian." Xiao He answered first.
"Actually, it stands to reason that we shouldn't eat meat either, but Miss is kind, she is considerate of these people who are still growing up, so don't make them suffer together." Ginkgo raised her chin, pointed to Xiao He and the others and said.
It turned out to be like this, but I forgot about it, Huo Lan thought to herself.Seeing Xiao He and the others smiling, she felt envious that they still had someone to help them think about growing their bodies, unlike her, let alone eating meat, she couldn't even eat a full meal.
Otherwise, how can I say that Yun Miaoqing is better?Thinking that he would be able to see Yun Miaoqing immediately after eating, Huo Lan became happy again.
She was not in a hurry to find someone, Yun Miaoqing had the habit of taking a short lunch break after lunch, and would squat on the couch for a while, Huo Lan counted the time and went to the kitchen first.
"It's Xiaolan, why, didn't you have enough to eat just now?" In the kitchen, Aunt Han was washing the dishes when she saw Huo Lan enter the door and asked casually.
"No, I see that Miss didn't eat much at noon, so I want to get her some fruits." Huo Lan pointed to a basket of Chungu fruits on the table by the wall, which she brought last night. I saw it the first time I entered the kitchen.
"Then wait for a while." Aunt Han put down a bowl she had washed, and went to get another one, "I'll come wash these bowls after I finish washing them, cut them up, and send them to you."
"It's okay, I'll do it." Huo Lan took the initiative.She had picked out this basket of Chungu fruits, all of them were very good, Huo Lan found the two biggest ones and washed them, and asked Aunt Han to borrow a knife to pick out the core of the fruit and cut the flesh into small pieces.
Guessing that Yun Miaoqing should have rested, she carried the chopped Chungu fruit to the small building.
In the afternoon, no one came to the small building, and the corridor was quiet, except for the occasional sound of bamboo joints colliding in the pond below.
Huo Lan stood still outside Yun Miaoqing's room door, knocked lightly three times, but no one answered.
Are you still asleep?Huo Lan was afraid of disturbing Yun Miaoqing's rest, so she didn't knock again. She put her ear on the door and listened for a while, but couldn't hear anything, so she pushed the door boldly, but she pushed it open.
In sight is the soft couch facing the door, Yun Miaoqing is lying on the couch in white clothes, holding a book in her hand.
Huo Lan's breath was stagnant, and he walked into the room lightly, put the fruit plate on the table, turned around and closed the door again.
After doing this, she quietly walked to the soft couch, and half knelt down beside Yun Miaoqing.
Yun Miaoqing didn't close the window before going to bed, perhaps because of the glare of the sun, she tilted her head slightly towards the room, which made it easier for Huo Lan to peek at her.
Her skin is very good, it is almost porcelain white color, it looks like she has been nested in the house all year round and does not get much sun.A pair of willow-leaf-like eyebrows lay on the smooth forehead, one side of which was half-hidden into the side of the face because of the lying position, and the other side was covered by the hair that fell down.
Under the eyebrows are closed eyes.When Yun Miaoqing was awake, those eyes were always lively and full of interest, always planning to play tricks on people, but now she closed them and fell asleep, looking unexpectedly docile.
Her eyelashes are long and thick, like a pair of black-gold butterflies under the sun, their wings trembling slightly as they breathe.
Huo Lan's mind went blank, and he stretched out his hand towards Yun Miaoqing like a ghost, wanting to let the butterfly rest on her fingertips.
Without warning, the butterfly's wings flapped suddenly, revealing the dark brown eyes hidden under its body.
Huo Lan didn't touch the butterfly, and was caught off guard by the butterfly's owner. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should quickly withdraw her rash hand, or just ignore it and continue to relieve her troubles. itch.
Anyway, Yun Miaoqing has seen it all. Is there a big difference between attempted and accomplished?
The difference is of course huge, so big that Huo Lan only dared to think about it, but didn't have the courage to implement it, fearing that Yun Miaoqing would blow her out and not let her in again.At this moment, she deeply realized what is meant by "people have to bow their heads under the eaves".
