Chapter 231: It must be very hard to endure?
"Anyway, Miss can go out for some fresh air this time. You have been detained in the mansion for almost a month. Other ladies can go out for banquets, but you can't. You didn't even go to Princess Lingshuang's wedding last time. It was such a loss."
Qiyue pouted, the lady was really cruel. The eldest daughter was already married, the second daughter also had a marriage, and the only daughter in their eldest house had not yet found a marriage.
Previously, the eldest lady wanted to marry the young lady to a poor scholar from a poor family. If the young lady had not used a clever trick to let the second young lady take the blame, this marriage with neither reputation nor substance would have fallen on the young lady.
But because of this incident, the eldest lady disliked the young lady even more. Before, she had pretended to be nice to her, but now she either ignored her or scolded her. If the young lady had not pleased the old lady during this period, her life would have been even more difficult than before.
Humph! Luo Shuhuan sneered. This stepmother was from a noble family after all, but she was really short-sighted. She really didn't understand. If she married well, wouldn't her family also benefit from it? But her stepmother just couldn't stand her. She raised her eyebrows and looked at her in a frown, treating her as an enemy.
If the eldest lady didn't dislike her anyway, she wouldn't have killed two birds with one stone by marrying off the eldest and second sisters. It was just a pity for Luo Shuyuan's identity as the eldest daughter of the eldest house. The fourth prince had set his eyes on her and would definitely not give her up.
In this case, Luo Shuyuan could only give up on this idea. She felt very happy when she thought that Luo Shuyuan was so disappointed that she married the eldest son of the Minister of War, that barbaric and unreasonable fool.
It was just a pity that the fool accidentally broke into her plan that day. The one she was targeting that day was his younger brother, the illegitimate son of the eldest son.
Although it was a bit regrettable, the result was still good. Thinking back to yesterday when I went back home, the eldest daughter changed her usual spoiled appearance and became extremely taciturn, and the corners of her mouth couldn't be pressed down.
It is like a delicate flower without nutrients, withering in an instant, losing its former glory and no longer having the fascinating light.
She was in a good mood, and she took the golden hairpin sent by the old lady and tried it on her bun.
"Today is a banquet, be careful. You must dress elegantly and modestly, and don't embarrass the princess."
Luo Shuhuan had finally gotten close to the princess, so she didn't dare to neglect her. If it weren't for the princess being on good terms with her, would the old lady have changed her attitude and treated her so well? The old lady was even more snobbish than the first lady.
Private School on the Cloud
After Mr. Jiang finished teaching all the students, he began to inspect the students' homework. He glanced and saw Jiang Youzhen writing furiously, and he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Who wouldn't love a student who is talented and hardworking? But he didn't have much sense of accomplishment. After all, Jiang Youzhen had been self-taught, so his hobby of being a teacher could not be fully utilized.
Mr. Jiang felt that he needed to show some concern, so he walked behind Jiang Youzhen and planned to see how Jiang Youzhen taught himself.
Unexpectedly, he saw Jiang Youzhen first read the entire page of article including the notes at a glance, and then began to copy.
Is this copying and learning? Master Jiang nodded. But what shocked him next was that Jiang Youzhen did not even look at the other book from beginning to end while copying the annotations.
What the hell! What was she doing? Did she just glance at it and memorize all the notes? Was she not copying it, but memorizing it?
No! Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Look again.
Jiang Youzhen quickly finished copying a page and was so interested that he didn't notice Master Jiang behind him.
After turning the page, Jiang Youzhen read it again, and then paused to think for a moment. The next step was to verify Jiang's guess, and she began to write down the notes again.
Mr. Jiang never looked at Wen Ruyu's book again. He kept staring at Jiang Youzhen's writing. He didn't miss a word, and they were all correct.
Huh? No, one of the paragraphs even included her own interpretation, which was more detailed.
The shock in his heart could be described as a raging storm. What was this? This was reading ten lines at a glance. This was a photographic memory!
He had only heard of this legendary existence. A child prodigy named Kou An in the previous dynasty was just like this. He had learned the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of ten, and could speak eloquently at the age of thirteen. He passed the imperial examinations repeatedly and had a smooth journey. He became a young juren at the age of seventeen.
Such a prodigy was naturally praised by many literati and patriots. Unfortunately, God was jealous of his talent, and when Kou An was preparing for the spring imperial examination, he died of a cold.
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the news. If such a talented person could pass the imperial examination and become the top scorer, he would be a pillar of the country!
And the Jiang Youzhen in front of him actually had this ability. He clenched his fists and suppressed the excitement in his heart. Jiang Youzhen must pass the imperial examination to become an official. Coupled with her cautious and smooth personality, she will definitely go further and further in her official career.
Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, but after a moment, he began to hesitate again.
Just as he was about to speak, Master Jiang unexpectedly discovered that this was not The Doctrine of the Mean. Jiang Youzhen had clearly said before that he was copying the annotations of The Great Learning.
He didn't expect that this kid was not only talented, but also knew how to hide his talent. After all, he had never heard that Jiang Youzhen had a photographic memory before. If he hadn't discovered it this time, Jiang Youzhen would definitely not have taken the initiative to tell him.
"Are you copying the annotations of The Doctrine of the Mean?" Mr. Jiang suddenly spoke up, startling Jiang Youzhen.
"Master!" Jiang Youzhen saluted immediately.
"Yes! I finished copying the Great Learning and happened to have some free time, so I copied this one. But don't worry, I will memorize it well when I go back. You just need to check it randomly."
"Come with me!" Master Jiang waved his hand, and suddenly walked out of the study with his hands behind his back.
Jiang Youzhen was a little surprised, but he caught up as soon as possible.
Wen Ruyu looked at the backs of the two people and couldn't help but feel a little worried. What was going on? Just now, Master Jiang stood behind Jiang Youzhen for a long time. He also watched for a while. Jiang Youzhen was just copying the notes and did nothing else.
"Brother, what's wrong? Why did the teacher call Junior Brother Jiang out? Was she distracted just now?" Huang Xue Ning poked his head out and immediately whispered to Wen Ruyu.
Wen Ruyu shook her head, "Maybe there is something important."
Master Jiang brought Jiang Youzhen to his study. After he sat down, he looked Jiang Youzhen up and down.
"I think it's a waste of your talent to study in my private school!"
Jiang Youzhen: What's wrong with this old man?
"Teacher, why do you say that? But how did I offend you? Please point it out and I will correct it."
Seeing Jiang Youzhen's serious face, Master Jiang realized that his words were ambiguous, so he smiled and said, "That's not what I meant. You are very good! Very good! So good that I feel I shouldn't delay you."
Jiang Youzhen frowned. The teacher was very strange today.
"Have you copied all the annotations for the other three volumes of the Four Books?"
"Ah! I guess I've finished copying!" Do you admit it or not? Or admit it!
"You've memorized them all, right? The article and the notes."
"Actually, it's not that fast. I'm still reciting it!" Jiang Youzhen suddenly realized that Master Jiang had discovered his secret.
"You must have had a hard time enduring these days! You clearly know how to do it, but you still pretend you don't."
