Chapter 64 Part 1: (2/2)

“Indeed,” that young servant said: “Old madam, please see the transcribed red notice. Second miss’s calligraphy, mathematics and etiquette, each one comes first, there’s no need to doubt her being at the top of the list!”

Jiang You Yao’s body became soft and almost slid down.

……

In Fang Fei Garden, Jiang Li was in the middle of watching Li-er looking after the plants and flowers.

“You are really not going?” Jiang Jing Rui was sitting on a chair, drinking tea while couldn’t help urging Jiang Li: “You still have time to run away, at most people will mock you for going back on your words. If you really wait, later when you want to escape, you won’t be able to escape anymore. Kneeling down and apologizing to Meng Hong Jin, you could be said to be ruined in this lifetime. In my opinion, anyway you are not a gentleman. Moreover, being a gentleman would also need to look at the situation. While the green hills last, there’ll be wood to burn1, why should you make things difficult for yourself?”

Don’t be fooled by Jiang Jing Rui’s hedonistic appearance, he was meticulous when talking about this principle to soothe people that Jiang Li was almost persuaded by him. However, she merely glanced at him and said: “That is silver needle tea from Hunan, I only boiled a pot today. You are like a cow chewing on a peony2, next time don’t come here to drink tea.”

Jiang Jing Rui angrily slammed the tea cup: “Listen to you, are you really the young lady coming from our Jiang family? So thrifty, the daughters in our family indulge in drinking and live a life of luxury. Like this you are too boring!”
