After recuperating for a few days, my body had already returned to normal. I don't know what Mrs. Qiao said to stop me from going out. This was simply terrible. This ancient era was very backward. There were no computers or televisions. What could he do sitting in his room every day?
I was very depressed. Looking at the blue sky outside the window, the birds were flying around freely, but I was locked in the room. Sigh, it was really not easy to be the daughter of a noble family in ancient times.
"I want to go out…" I looked at Cheng Wu gloomily.
Cheng Wu swiftly tidied up the room and said without looking up,""Miss, what do you want to do outside?"
"Going out…to play, of course." Sigh, why is he so boring at such a young age…
Cheng Wu stopped what she was doing and looked at me strangely. She asked,""What's so fun outside? Besides, Second Miss, you haven't recovered yet.”
I quickly said,"Then can we go out?"”
"Second Miss, have you forgotten?" Cheng Wu shook her head. Old Master has already instructed you and Young Miss to study under Young Master Guo and learn the zither. You were injured these few days, so you didn't go to the study.”
"Young Master Guo?" I was stunned and was about to ask who this person was when I saw Jiang Ge staring at me from the side. I quickly swallowed my words and changed my words."Other than studying, you should do something else, right?”
"Second Miss, what's wrong with you today?" Cheng Wu asked with a smile. You're usually bored and like to embroider and play the zither. You also read a lot of books. Do you want me to bring them for you to pass the time?”
" No need, no need. I…I suddenly feel a little tired again. I'll rest, rest for a while."”What a joke, I'm a needlework idiot whose buttons are crooked. I can play the piano, but I can only play with two fingers. Reading…Reading seems to be okay…
I sat up again and spread out my right hand."Cheng Wu, I've decided to read. Give me a book.”
Although Cheng Wu found it strange, she still smiled and nodded. Two minutes later, he returned with a large stack of…bamboo slips?
I rubbed my eyes in disbelief. I didn't see wrongly. It was really a bamboo slip. Did I remember wrongly? Cai Lun should be from the Eastern Han Dynasty, right? Now, it was at least the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Logically speaking, the art of making paper should have already existed. Why did he still use bamboo slips?
Cheng Wu placed the bamboo slips on the small table in front of the window and smiled."I've brought Miss's favorite book. Take your time to read it.”She turned around and went back to her own business.
I reached out and grabbed a bamboo scroll. It was so heavy. It was tiring for the ancients to read, and even more tiring to move. Thinking about it, there were so many of them, but there were only a few words written. No wonder the ancients pursued simplicity in their writing. If they wrote millions, the bamboo scrolls would probably be several tons. Even an ox cart wouldn't be able to move them.
I adjusted my sitting posture and gracefully rolled up the bamboo slips. Although it was cumbersome, it still looked quite impressive. The green bamboo slips were densely covered with small characters. They were written in regular script and were very neat. Unfortunately, no matter how neat it was, it was still traditional Chinese characters. Moreover, it was arranged vertically. It was still very difficult to read from the right to the left.
It took me a lot of effort to recognize the words on the rightmost side-Legend of the Heroic Woman! What kind of book was this? I was so shocked that I almost threw the book in my hand.
I haven't read this book before, but I've heard of it before. It's a complete feudal dross that oppresses women and imprisons women's thoughts!
Back in high school, there was a self-righteous perverted man who actually made a comment in Chinese class, saying that all girls should read the Legend of the Heroic Maiden. He was attacked by all the sisters on the spot and almost beaten up. Damn it, the second young mistress of the Qiao family actually liked to read such books. She had probably brainwashed her feudal father.
Seeing that this book was an antique, I reluctantly flipped through a few pages. Boring…extremely boring…actually, I could still understand a little, but the story was really making me vomit blood. As I read, I vomited blood in my heart. As I vomited, the hypnosis actually succeeded. I closed my eyes and fell asleep on the chair.
These days lasted for a while. In short, life was like a prison break. I was constantly looking for an opportunity to escape, but it seemed to be fruitless.
A few days later, Mrs. Qiao couldn't take it anymore, so she agreed to let me walk around the courtyard. However, the daughters of noble families can't go out, so they can't go out on the streets.
Although I don't think much of it, I still understand the principle of doing as the locals do. Fortunately, although the courtyard of the Qiao Family wasn't big, there were still a lot of flowers and plants. I wandered around and decided to visit my "sister".
According to Cheng Wu, this sister of mine is called Chao Rong. Although she's not even ten years old, she's already a renowned talented girl. She's already accomplished in the four arts, and she's also well-educated and well-mannered. Even Empress Dowager He in the palace once asked my father about my sister's situation.
And according to Jiang Ge, I especially admired this sister since I was young. Not only was I especially close to her, but I also imitated her everywhere. Of course, Jiang Ge also hinted to me more than once that I was not as intelligent and gentle as the young miss. Sigh, this little girl really likes to hold grudges. However, when I heard this, I couldn't help but think of the Legend of the Heroic Woman. The little loli might have learned from her sister to read this book…
As I let my imagination run wild, I brought Orange Dance and Jiang Ge and skipped through the corridor to Chao Rong's room.
Halfway through, Cheng Wu suddenly called out from behind,""Second Miss, please wait a moment."
"What's wrong?" I turned around.
Cheng Wu's expression was a little awkward. She turned around and called out,""Jiang Ge, what are you doing? Come over quickly."
Only then did I realize that Jiang Ge had disappeared. Only Cheng Wu was still following behind me. Strange, Jiang Ge, this little girl, seems to be trying to catch me every day. She never leaves my side and can't be chased away. Why did she slip away today? There was definitely a problem.
After a while, Jiang Ge ran over from the corridor. He walked in front of me and stood still. He panted slightly and said," Second Miss, I... uh, have some private matters..."
"What private matters?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.”
Jiang Ge's face was strangely red. Her eyes looked at Cheng Wu for help, but she didn't reply.
Cheng Wu helplessly shook her head. Just as she was about to speak, I noticed something was amiss. I couldn't help but laugh."Ah, I know. Jiang Ge must have gone to meet her lover."
Jiang Ge's face turned even redder, but she said,""What are you talking about, Young Lady? I have nothing to do with Young Master Guo.”
"Young Master Guo?" I repeated curiously. She seemed to have heard it somewhere before…
Cheng Wu glared at Jiang Ge before turning around and smiling."Jiang Ge only admires Young Master Guo's talent. Besides, Young Master Guo had a bright future ahead of him. How could he be interested in Jiang Ge?”
When Jiang Ge heard this, she was so angry that she almost jumped out to refute.
I suddenly thought of this person. Isn't this the teacher that Cheng Wu mentioned before, my teacher and Chaorong's teacher? I've been locked up in my room for the past few days, so I haven't seen it yet.
I glanced at Cheng Wu, who was smiling mischievously, and Jiang Ge, who looked like a young girl in love. I couldn't help but feel curious. What kind of person was this Guo Gongzi?
