Chapter 46 Good Guys
When Jiang Li went to Mingyi Hall, she only brought Bai Xue, a maid, with her.
Although Mingyi Hall is for young ladies from official families, it also has strict discipline. If she had not interacted with the teachers of Mingyi Hall when she was married to Shen Yurong, she would probably know nothing about Mingyi Hall now, and she would have made many jokes.
Jiang Youyao and Jiang Yu'e must have deliberately wanted to make fun of Jiang Li, so they didn't say a word that should be explained. When Jiang Li and Bai Xue got on the carriage, Tong'er was still reluctant to say, "Miss, you must come back early."
Tong'er and Jiang Li were almost inseparable during the eight years they were in Qingcheng Mountain. At that time, Jiang Li only had Tong'er as her maid. Now that there are more servants around Jiang Li, Tong'er feels a little lost. Jiang Li comforts her for a while.
Although taking Bai Xue to Mingyi Hall, others would certainly laugh at Jiang Li's maidservant when they saw that she was such a big fool. However, things in the world should not be judged by appearance. Although Bai Xue was not as good-looking as other maidservants, she was very strong. Since she died once, Jiang Li often wondered, if she had some martial arts skills, would she be able to escape by luck one day instead of dying helplessly?
However, martial arts cannot be mastered overnight, not to mention that the Jiang family is a family of civil officials, and Jiang Li is still a girl, so there is no reason for her to learn martial arts. Moreover, with this body, Jiang Li estimated that she should not be a martial arts genius, so she gave up this idea.
Since she didn't know martial arts, finding a strong maid would always give her more opportunities to survive. Jiang Li knew that as long as people were alive, there would be hope. Any chance of survival that gave her an extra 10% chance would play a huge role when necessary.
When Jiang Li and Bai Xue were on their way to Mingyi Hall, Jiang Youyao and the other two had already arrived.
In the past, Jiang Youyao would not travel with Jiang Yu'e and Jiang Yuyan. After all, Jiang Yu'e and Jiang Yuyan were from the third house, and Jiang Youyao looked down on them from the bottom of her heart. However, Jiang Yu'e was sweet-mouthed and used to flattering her, so Jiang Youyao would occasionally give her some good colors.
Today, in order to piss off Jiang Li, Jiang Youyao rode in a carriage with Jiang Yu'e and Jiang Yuyan for the first time. This seemed a little unusual to everyone in Mingyi Hall.
"Youyao." A pink-dressed girl at the door looked back and asked curiously, "Isn't your second young lady coming to school today? Why can't I see her? Aren't you coming with her?"
Before Jiang Youyao could say anything, Jiang Yu'e spoke first. She said, "Second sister got up late. She must be busy picking out clothes. Today is her first day of school and she takes it very seriously."
Normally, if Jiang Yu'e interrupted like this, Jiang Youyao would definitely be unhappy, but today she let Jiang Yu'e talk like this.
As soon as Jiang Yu'e finished speaking, another tall girl sneered, "What kind of clothes are you picking? This is not a beauty contest, why are you picking clothes?"
"I heard that someone saw your second young lady when she just returned home, and they said she was also a pretty lady." Another girl looked at Jiang Youyao tentatively: "Is she really beautiful? I wonder how she compares to you, Youyao?"
Although Jiang Youyao could not be said to be the most talented or beautiful person in Mingyi Hall, those with better talents could not match her looks, and those with better looks could not match her talents. In addition, due to Jiang Yuanbai's status and position, Jiang Youyao stood out in Mingyi Hall.
Jiang Yu'e smiled and said, "Second sister is indeed pretty, but she has stayed in the mountains for too long, and her temperament..." She did not continue, but everyone thought of the fact that Jiang Li was banished to the nunnery and stayed there for eight years.
After staying in the mountains for eight years, he is probably just a country bumpkin. What can he understand when he just returned to Yanjing?
Even the girl who had been curious about Jiang Li just now looked at her with contempt.
The female students of Mingyi Hall are judged by their status, position, appearance, and talent. Everyone who comes here is the apple of their eye. Their natural position makes them unwilling to be outdone. Whenever there is a newcomer, they will compare him or her with him or her.
Jiang Li has nothing good except for having a father who is the Prime Minister, and this father doesn't seem to care about her. In this case, what is there for Jiang Li to pay attention to? As he was talking, he suddenly heard some nosy student outside shouting, "Miss Jiang Er is here!"
All the female students in the school looked towards the door at the same time.
But two girls came to the door. The maids were more robust than the ordinary maids, and their skin was dark. The apricot-red maid skirts did not make them look cute, but rather funny. They moved more like village girls in the mountains.
Although this maid is eye-catching, perhaps because of her humor, the girls around her stand out even more.
The girl had a gentle smile on her face, as soothing as the warm mountain breeze, blowing through people's hearts and making them feel comfortable. Her facial features were just right, and her delicate features were heroic, which made her gentleness also have a bit of toughness and moving.
"Is that the second daughter of the Jiang family?" Someone whispered, "She doesn't look like she was raised in the mountains."
On the first day of school, she came to the unfamiliar Mingyi Hall for the first time. Facing strangers, this girl was not at all uncomfortable or timid. She looked calm and confident, and did no worse than anyone else.
"I think it looks like it was raised in the mountains," someone whispered to a companion, "It looks quite smart."
"Aura" is an indescribable feeling. It is not something that can be learned by studying with a teacher for a few more days, nor can it be bought by spending more money. The girl's eyes are as clear as a spring, sweet and pure.
Even though I've heard so many vicious rumors about her, Miss Jiang Er is so kind and gentle that it's hard to hate her.
The sudden change in the attitude of the people around Jiang Li was immediately caught by Jiang Youyao and others. Jiang Youyao was furious. Jiang Li did not wear the skirts that Ji Shuran sent her, but had her own ideas. She was obviously doing it on purpose, just to show off!
Jiang Youyao's idea was really unreasonable. If Jiang Li wore the clothes Ji Shuran gave her, she would really stand out. But standing out at this time might not be a good thing. Jiang Li's clothes were simple and elegant, but they complemented her temperament. In this way, she stood out in an invisible way.
Jiang Yu'e was puzzled. She didn't understand why Jiang Li had such a bad reputation, but when these students saw her, they all showed disgust. Didn't reputation matter?
Jiang Li slowly smiled in her heart.
There are always things that people cannot see, and what they cannot see is what they are blinded to. But most people are willing to believe that what they see is all.
For example, how can you tell whether a person is good or bad after just one encounter? If you can tell, it is just the other person's judgment.
She seems like a nice person, and with a little effort, she could be a "nice person".
