Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 45 Part 1: Entering School

Jiang Li didnt care at all that the matter of her going to attend Ming Yi Hall had incurred different thoughts in each person from each branch in the Jiang residence. She was teaching writing to Bai Xue.

Bai Xue could recognize some characters, but not too many. In order to find out Haitangs whereabouts in Zao Hua Village, Bai Xue needed to write a letter home. While observing her as she wrote, Jiang Li taught her some characters that she wasnt familiar with. Tonger was also listening with great interest from the side. From time to time she said: Young lady is really amazing. This servant and the young lady went to the nunnery in Mount Qingcheng together, but the young lady recognizes so many characters. This servant could only write my own name. This difference is so big.

Exactly, Bai Xue mumbled, isnt she the chief assistants young lady? Born and immediately able to recognize words.

When the three people were chatting and laughing, Jiang Jing Rui came again. He also received the news that Jiang Li was going to attend Ming Yi Hall. Once he stepped inside he immediately said: Congratulations, congratulations, you really managed to convince eldest uncle. Jiang Li, this time you truly made me have a whole new level of respect.

Jiang Li released her hold and let Bai Xue write by herself. She walked over to Jiang Jing Rui and spoke: What are you here for?

Jiang Jing Ruis throat felt blocked: Why do you always look as if you dont welcome me. I came over to remind you, dont think that Ming Yi Hall is a good place. How much temper do the children of nobility have? You are a new face, a newcomer, its best if you know your place. If theres anyone bullying you, dont bear it stubbornly to save face and use your fathers name. Also dont be afraid of losing face, if you really come across something excessive, its fine to run away. He shook his sleeve and took out a small blade from inside: Here, give you this. Take it for self protection.

Jiang Li gazed at the sharp blade in Jiang Jing Ruis hand and was silent for a moment before speaking: Are the people in Ming Yi Hall extremely dangerous?

Almost. Jiang Jing Rui spoke: Same as the people in the Imperial College. Last time I stepped on a fellow students long-horned grasshopper to death and my hand was nearly broken. I reckon it wont be much different from your place. Just take it. He firmly stuffed the blade into Jiang Lis hand.

Jiang Li was somewhat speechless and seemed to recall the time when she was getting married. At that time, Xue Zhao secretly and mysteriously called her to the backyard and gave her a short spear. In the end, that short spear wasnt brought along to Yanjing. Nobody had ever heard of giving this kind of thing to a bride. Naturally, Xue Zhao was almost beaten up by Xue Huaiyuan. Only after persistent persuasion did he get the short spear back.

No matter what, a blade was after all better than a short spear to tuck into her sleeve. Jiang Li accepted it reluctantly and said: Okay, many thanks.

Your thanks really had no sincerity. Jiang Jing Rui spoke again: If its really not good, you can look for me in the Imperial College. Ill help you settle things.

Jiang Li nodded, Jiang Jing Rui winked at her: Ill also call Zhou Yan Bang out.

Jiang Li looked at him, Jiang Jing Rui pulled the corners of his mouth up, waiting for Jiang Lis praise. But instead he heard Jiang Li said calmly: Bai Xue, send the guest out.

Jiang Jing Rui was sent out by the strong Bai Xue.

The day before entering school was spent busily and noisily. When it was evening, Ji Shuran even sent someone to deliver new clothes over, saying that its important to look neat and tidy when entering school.

Tonger asked Jiang Li: Is the young lady afraid?

A totally new and unfamiliar environment, and very likely to face the hostility of the fellow students. It seemed nothing good would happen.

Jiang Li laughed: No.

Not afraid, but actually very happy.
