Chapter 45 Part 2: Entering School

The next day, Jiang Li got up really early.

Ming Yue and Qing Feng were surprised to see Jiang Li wake up so early. Tong’er explained to them: “Starting today, miss will enter Ming Yi Hall, she must not arrive late. Today is the first day, one must not be negligent.” Her tone was filled with pride.

Ming Yue and Qing Feng didn’t understand all these. But hearing Tong’er, they also felt proud and followed by praising: “I heard that Ming Yi Hall is not a place that can be entered easily. Later on, young miss can study together with the third miss and the others.”

Hearing her mention Jiang You Yao, Tong’er immediately snorted and muttered: “Who wants to go together with them.”

It was the first day of entering school, yet both Jiang You Yao and Jiang Yu’e left really early. Generally speaking, when sisters from their own family were going to enter school, an introduction was needed. What’s more, Jiang Li and the noble ladies of the capital weren’t familiar with each other. In case no one acknowledged you, at least there’d be a sister at the side so it wouldn’t be so lonely and pitiful.

But Jiang You Yao and them actually refused to care and left early by themselves. Jiang Yuan Bai was busy with court matters, also not paying attention to this side. Tong’er wanted to complain but had no one to complain to. She was sulking on behalf of Jiang Li but was helpless and couldn’t do anything.

On the contrary, Jiang Li comforted Tong’er: “They are not willing to go together with me, I also think that going with them is inviting trouble. It’s good like this, each one is saved from troubles.”

Right at this time, the door to the room opened, Jiang Li and Bai Xue went out together.

Tong’er looked foolishly and suddenly said: “Miss is so good-looking.”

Not just Tong’er, Ming Yue and Qing Feng also stared foolishly.

They were all aware, out of all the four girls in the Jiang family, the one with the most delicate and outstanding appearance was Jiang You Yao, particularly tender and beautiful like a flower. Jiang Yu’e was also not bad, charming and lovely like the pretty daughter in a humble family. Jiang Yu Yan’s appearance was average, not worth mentioning. As for Jiang Li, she had an upright appearance and looked a bit bland.

But ever since she stayed in the nunnery for eight years and then returned to Jiang residence, the formerly bland appearance had opened up, producing an unusual kind of grace and elegance, different from the capital’s noble females. That was a kind of growth, a hard-to-describe thing. She seemed to be carrying a somewhat heroic spirit, there was also some charm.

Beauty was in the bone, not on the skin. Jiang Li’s beauty lay in her character strength, her attitude and her elegance.

She didn’t wear the brightly colored clothes that Ji Shuran arranged for someone to deliver to her yesterday. She only wore a moonlight white jacket and a skirt with a light yellow silk belt fastened on her bosom. Her long hair was knotted with a wooden hairpin decorated with a single red bean into a top bun, leaning slightly to the side. Her skin was white as jade, her eyes bright and her teeth white. She was dressed extremely simply, yet she still looked refined and graceful.

She was also a gentle person. With each step she took walking forward, Ming Yue and Qing Feng couldn’t look away. Tong’er also couldn’t turn her eyes away. Jiang Li had obviously stayed with her for eight years in Mount Qingchen, yet Tong’er didn’t know since when did Jiang Li’s posture when walking and the arc of her lips when smiling become unfamiliar. It still was the same face but it was as if the person had been exchanged.

Old madam Jiang who was walking to this side also stared blankly. The servant girls by her side, Fei Cui and Zhen Zhu supported her timely and didn’t move forward.

Jiang Li’s face couldn’t be regarded as capable of causing the downfall of a city, not even an outstanding beauty, but her light smile as she walked over resembled a secular beauty coming down from heaven.

As if it was natural for this big beauty to be the focus of everyone.

Bai Xue, who was following behind Jiang Li, said: “Young miss, the gatekeeper is already informed, let us now go on the carriage.”

Jiang Li nodded and smiled: “Let’s go.”
