A Lady’s Tranquility

w why she suddenly counted things again, but they suddenly remembered something, and they came together and said: “By the way, girl, because you were chosen as the princess' companion, both the master and the wife will not reward you.
Little things.
In the afternoon, the eldest girl also sent a set of four treasures of the study, would you like to take a look and order?”

　　Jiang Xuehui?
She looked towards Lian'er.
Lake brushes, Duan inkstones, Songyan inks, and a piece of paper from Chengxintang are all excellent things.

　　So he was silent for a while, and only said: “Let it go.”

　　*

　　The fact that Jiang Xuening was summoned to the palace to become the princess' companion naturally caused a lot of discussion in the Jiang mansion.
After all, she was coddled and did not learn well, so she was far from the eldest young lady Jiang Xuehui in every way.
But in the end, it was her.

In the beginning, the name of the eldest lady was passed on in the house, and no one expected such an unexpected situation to occur.

　　For a while, everything was said: some said that the palace might have made a mistake in the name; some said that Jiang Xuening had complimented the princess and used some means to make the princess cross out Jiang Xuehui's name and give her the opportunity; It is also said that she went to the master in private to make trouble, and forced the master to be changed to her before submitting the candidate, and also said that Jiang Xuehui was not qualified enough, so the palace did not like it…

　　But anyway, the words didn't reach Jiang Xuening's ears.
She doesn't care.
They are going to enter the palace early tomorrow morning.
Although Jiang Boyu and Meng Shi also felt that the result this time was really confusing and confusing, they still put food in the house in the evening and called Jiang Xuehui and Jiang Xuening to use it together.
.

　　This was the first time Jiang Xuening saw Jiang Xuehui after the companions in the palace were selected.
It looked no different from usual.
She was still dignified and virtuous in the past, and she would take the initiative to prepare food for her parents during the banquet.
There was no injustice or loss between her brows, but it seemed that this incident had never happened, and she had not heard any rumors outside.

　　Jiang Boyu was very worried, and he didn't have much hope for Jiang Xuening's entry into the palace this time.
He only said earnestly: “Father is an official in the court, and his political achievements will also be completed.
After you enter the palace, you don't need to fight for anything.
, as long as you are good, control your temper, and don't cause trouble.
As for whether the princess likes it or not, it doesn't matter whether the gentlemen like it or not.
It's all you can do perfunctorily.
Remember, see more and say less, Just bury your head and do things.”
Jiang Xuening answered them one by one.
But what she thought in her heart was: Jiang Boyu didn't need to worry so much when she entered the palace tomorrow and started to learn etiquette.
After all, if the “passive sabotage” plan goes well, I'm afraid that she won't be able to pass the test of etiquette and qualifications, and she will be able to go home sooner rather than later.

　　Jiang Boyu looked at her casual look and was really worried.
He didn't say more, but he thought about it: When I go to court tomorrow, I want to talk to Ju An and ask him to take care of him in the palace.

　　Meng Shi was also worried about the unexpected changes in the candidates for companion reading, and his face was not very good during the banquet.
He glanced at Jiang Xuening several times and wanted to ask her if she did something in the middle, but Jiang Boyu winked at her by the side.
She didn't ask.
When explaining the words, they can only deal with two sentences.
After all, Jiang Bo lobbied for real words, and he didn't say a few words to Jiang Xuening from beginning to end.

　　It was only three-quarters after the meal was eaten that they dispersed.

　　When I came out of the main house, the lights were already on in the house.

Jiang Xuening came out to salute together with Jiang Xuehui, so walking on the porch, one in front and the other in the back normally.
As usual, he would just walk away without any reason.

　　But today, Jiang Xuening stopped her and said lightly, “I don't like what you gave me.”
Jiang Xuehui stopped and didn't look back: “Then sister Ning just throw it away.”

　　Jiang Xuening laughed sarcastically: “If I were you, all the names were put up, but I lost the election, but my ignorant sister was selected as a companion, I must think about whether I am You've been tricked.
You're hypocritical, and you still want to send me a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Do you think I can't see that you actually want to enter the palace?”

　　Jiang Xuehui finally turned to look at her.

　　The porch is full of wisteria flowers, but the flowering season has passed early, and it is this late autumn season, the flowers and leaves are withered, and the branches are sparse, so the frosty white moon above the head hangs from the gaps between the branches.
flowed to her.
The simple moon-white shirt and skirt, standing there, are beautiful and charming.
Even the sarcastic smile on the corner of his lips has a moving gesture.

　　Her joy and anger were not concealed, and she seemed disdainful to conceal it.

　　Jiang Xuehui actually felt a little envious, and said slowly: “I want to enter the palace, which woman in the world has never loved prosperity? This is not a shameful thing to me.
It's just that it doesn't work out in the end, and there's nothing to complain about.
Everything has its own fate, and now I have neither the ability nor the fate.”

　　Jiang Xuening couldn't stand her calm expression when she spoke, the smile on her lips gradually disappeared, but the sarcasm in her voice became stronger: “You know, why I don't like it as soon as I enter the manor.
Are you?”
Jiang Xuehui did not speak.
Jiang Xuening then folded a small section of dry branches hanging down on the porch, and with a “snap”, in this silent night, there was a different kind of shock: “It's not just because you are better than me, better than me, I enjoyed everything that I should have enjoyed.
More importantly, after four years, you both know your own life experience and who is your biological mother.
Wan Niang has never asked me a single word, not even a single word.”

　　Jiang Xuehui's palms folded in front of her were slowly clasped, and she lowered her eyes slightly as if she had something to say.
But after all, did not say.
Jiang Xuening then threw the dead branch away and smiled at her: “Before Wanniang returned from her illness, she took my hand and put her family heirloom bracelet into my hand, and told me to go back to the house and see you.
, I'll give it to you.
But I haven't given it to you.
Because I think – you don't deserve it.”
