Chapter 641: Aspirations Higher Than the Sky
She taught her daughter that unlike Zhang, she did not agree with how to live a life with your head held high. If you want a good life, you have to take the initiative. As long as you achieve your wishes, that is a good way.
But now, Mrs. Zhang is telling her daughter to behave in an upright and upright manner. If she goes by her words, can Xing'er marry Xiao Wu as she wishes?
So what is she here to warn now?
She didn't agree with Zhang's statement, but at the moment, she had to take care of her daughter, "Myolie, your cousin is right, that's how we should be, as long as we have a clear conscience."
Xing'er looked at her mother winking at her, still shaking her head with red eyes. Her mother had told her before that as long as she was bold enough, she could win the favor of Brother Xiaowu.
But now she is asked to give up, why?
It's not easy for her to meet someone she likes and catches her eye. She didn't want to marry these vulgar men from the countryside, who knew nothing but work. She would be resistant from the bottom of her heart to live with such a man her whole life.
She likes people like Brother Xiaowu who are polite and knowledgeable. If she is lucky enough to become an official, she will be the wife of an official family that everyone envies, wearing gold and silver and having maids in droves.
Seeing her resistance, Mrs. Zhang's eyes turned cold. This girl had been taught badly by Chen Jiao, and her eyes were high, but she had nothing to match.
That is what the old people often say: the heart is as high as the sky and the life is as thin as paper.
"You have to be self-aware as a person. You know you shouldn't do something, but if you are willful, you will be the one who suffers in the end."
Having said that, Mrs. Zhang did not stay long. Before leaving, she turned to look at Chen Jiao.
"If you are doing your best for your daughter, I advise you to take good care of her and don't do anything you regret. Although our Bai family is not a big family, we don't allow others to mess around."
After hearing Zhang's warning, Chen Jiao smiled and said,
"It's natural. Myolie is very well-behaved. It's just that she can't figure it out for the moment. It'll be fine in two days."
After seeing Mrs. Zhang off, Chen Jiao turned around and saw her mother-in-law appearing behind her, which shocked her.
"Mom, are you okay?"
"Oh, the toad wants to eat swan meat. I've seen it today, old lady. I don't even know what I am. How dare I miss Xiao Wu."
The old lady said and took a sip on the ground.
"Although I can't stand that damn girl in Baiyunxi, your Xing'er is really not worthy of Xiao Wu."
As she said that, the old lady looked her up and down again and clicked her tongue.
"What kind of good things can someone like you teach me?"
"You...you tell me that's all. Xing'er is a girl, so you won't let her go. Be careful of creating karma."
Chen Jiao was so angry that she shivered with anger. This vicious old pious woman was really annoying. She wished she was dead.
"You bitch, how dare you curse your mother-in-law?"
The old lady stared, pinched her waist, pointed at Chen Jiao's nose and cursed loudly, making Chen Jiao almost roll her eyes in anger.
"Stop arguing, it's annoying."
Xing'er rushed over and glared at the old lady, her eyes full of anger. The old lady was so frightened that she reacted with another burst of abuse.
"Shameless bitch, you've gone too far. A foreigner doesn't behave with his tail between his legs and dares to yell at me. If he doesn't want to live here, just get out of here. Our Bai family doesn't raise white-eyed wolves."
"Get out of here, as if I like living here, I want to leave a long time ago. Who wants to see you, an old pious woman?"
Myolie glared at the old lady and roared in a high voice.
"Myolie..."
Chen Jiao was startled by her daughter. As soon as she opened her mouth to stop her, the old lady raised her hand and slapped her ear, leaving her stunned.
"This is the bitch you taught. Even if you contradict your elders in person, you still dare to curse them? You bastard, get out with your daughter and stop being in the eyes of the old lady. You will not be able to fight with a wolf cub who is not well-raised in the future. Enter this house."
The old lady was dressed roughly, holding her waist with one hand and pointing at Chen Jiao's nose with the other.
"Our Bai family will not raise such an ungrateful thing. Let her go back to the Chen family. She will not be allowed to enter this family in the future."
Chen Jiao watched her daughter run back to the room. Her mother-in-law was so aggressive again that her teeth ached with hatred.
Baiyuntang will not stand on her side in this matter today. After thinking about it, she could only persuade her daughter to go back to her grandma's house to stay for a while, and then come back after the gust of wind passed.
Myolie cried a lot, and the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, so she packed her bags and went out.
Chen Jiao followed and shouted several times, but the girl didn't even look back. Just as she was about to catch up, she heard her son crying. She had no choice but to turn around and go back, holding her son in her arms and going out together.
I thought to myself that it would be better to go back to my parents' house for a while, so as not to have to worry about staying at home.
Bai Yunxi heard a little about the farce in the second room of the Bai family, but didn't pay much attention to it.
Everything on the left and right is just a matter of delusion.
The culprit is Chen Jiao. It was she who taught her daughter a wrong way. She only wants to take shortcuts in everything and wants to get something for nothing. Now that she is being criticized, she deserves the blame.
Calculating that the time was almost up, Baiyunxi asked Wenyou to drive the ox cart, and the two of them went to the county together to pick up Xiaowu.
She originally wanted to go with the whole family, but thinking about hosting a banquet, there was a lot to do. While she went to the county to pick up people, she also had to purchase some ingredients.
However, this time there was an extra Yaya kid accompanying me, and someone happened to talk to me on the way.
After arriving in the county, I inquired about the location of Qingyu Academy and searched all the way there.
Until I saw the bluestone tablets erected on both sides of the street, with the four characters "Qingyu Academy" on them, and the inscriptions carved on the pillars on both sides, this is the gate of Qingyu Academy. After the bluestone forest, it is the territory of the academy.
After walking along the street for a while, the second gate of the academy officially appeared in front of me.
In front of the gate is a large square, with two sycamore trees next to the courtyard wall. Going up the steps, there are two solemn and majestic gates with blue tiles and white walls. The columns on both sides of the gate are carved with couplets in black fonts, and the horizontal scroll is the four characters "Qingyu Academy".
Looking at the scene in front of him, Bai Yunxi searched his memory. Although the original owner and his wife often came to the county, it was always the old scholar who settled the original owner and went out to meet friends. The original owner had never been to the academy.
"Grandma, is this the academy? Does my uncle live in it?"
Ya Ya raised her head, her eyes sparkling.
"Your uncle is not a student of the academy yet, but it's hard to say in the future."
Bai Yunxi glanced at the side door, led Yaya over, and saw the old man guarding the door, and greeted him loudly and gently.
"This old man is polite. I want to ask, have all the students who went to the academy exam returned?"
The doorman narrowed his eyes and raised his head, coughing,
"Just got back this morning, the dean has announced that the students will have a half-month holiday, and many students have gone back. If you are looking for someone, you have to go in and report in advance. If the person you are looking for is not there, the academy will not let you in."
