Ruo Ruo: “Okay, we’re all staying, so let’s have fun for a few days, Nige, you’re going to primary school after the 15th of the first month.”
She rubbed the little girl’s head.
As soon as she heard this, Nige ran over to her brother’s side and threw her little arms around his legs.
“Brother, I’m not going to school.”
“……”
Lu Guan looked down at this eloquent sister who pleaded with him, and finally his heart softened and he squatted down in front of her.
“Listen, if you want to stay well outside, you must go to school.”
“Why?”
Nige, who was only seven years old, didn’t really understand what her brother meant.
When Ruo Ruo saw this, she came over too and together they squatted down next to the little girl.
“Because the only way to pursue your dreams and live the life you want in our society is to learn to know, ah, you see sister Ruo Ruo also has to study oh, sister Ruo Ruo’s dream is to be a very, very good designer.”
“A designer?”
“Yes, it’s clothes and jewellery, look at the clothes that Sister RuoRuo is wearing now, do they look good?”
Ruo Ruo even stood up right in front of the little girl to pique her interest, and spun around to show her the clothes she was wearing.
But Nige didn’t react much.
A child who had climbed out of the abyss, these substances could no longer have any effect on her, and if there was anything that could attract her, it would be her future.
Lukewarm understood that.
So he didn’t say anything at first, until Ruo Ruo ran away, and only then did he look at this sister of his again.
“Nini, you have to remember that you’re no longer a little Wangji, and we’re not going back to Waj, do you understand?”
“Why?”
Sure enough, as soon as the words were spoken, on the spot, tears came out of the child’s eyes.
She looked at her brother, and after great unease and shock poured out of her pretty phoenix eyes, she hugged him, even her tiny body was trembling.
She didn’t understand why she couldn’t go back to Waj anymore?
And why was she no longer the little king’s wife who had someone to serve the high and mighty?
Lucian: “Because we don’t belong there anymore, Nini, it’s a place that should have been overthrown a long time ago, a world where all people are equal, and Waj should be equal for all.”
“……”
“So, from now on, you’re going to learn to be independent and learn what it takes to keep yourself afloat? You won’t even be served in the future, let alone live a life where you grow up and marry into a prominent family to be served for the rest of your life, you need to recognise this clearly!”
Lu Guan reminded this sister once again solemnly.
That’s right, in Vai, every young royal girl born in the royal court was taught the same thing from a young age.
Even Nige, who had been imprisoned since she was a child.
In fact, before Va’i was incorporated, all the girls who married out of the court were married to powerful tribal leaders or their sons.
Little Nige was dumbfounded to hear the first time she had been taught such an idea.
“And …… what about the elder brother? Will the elder brother also have to study and work on his own afterwards to have food?”
“Of course, after the 15th day of the first month, my elder brother will also go to study abroad, and when he graduates, he will find a good job, and then, I will pay for your studies first, and then ……”
His gaze, suddenly, went to the girl who was peddling God Zhaohui’s little friend over in the garden not far away.
Nige saw that and finally got it.
And then what?
Then, surely, it was time to marry her sister-in-law.
Did that seem like it would be especially hard on the older brother? This sister-in-law’s family looked very rich, like they had more money than their royal court, so when the time came to marry him, wouldn’t he need a lot of bride price?
Little Nige was suddenly focused on this question.
“Good, then I’ll go to school too, and I’ll learn a skill that will earn me lots and lots of money.”
“Make lots and lots of money?”
“Yes, so that I can help my brother marry back my sister-in-law, brother, don’t worry, although we are no longer in the king’s court and Ama is no longer here, but you still have me, I will earn you lots and lots of money and I will definitely help you marry back your sister-in-law!”
This little girl, actually, at the end of her words, even patted her brother’s shoulder in a very domineering manner.
Lu Guan: “……”
With his face red, he simply wanted to give this little girl a couple of smacks right away.
However, awkward as it was, it was good that she had managed to talk her into going to school.
When Ruo Ruo found out about this, she immediately went to her grandfather to ask him to contact a good primary school and arrange for Nigel to go there.
But when she went to see her grandfather, she found him on the phone.
“How bad could my matchmaking be? That Jing family’s eldest daughter, her character and ability are evident to everyone in the capital, what do you doubt? Still not good enough for your son?”
“……”
This old man, before the year was even over, was actually starting to act as a matchmaker.
But, is this his way of talking about matchmaking? Wasn’t he “giving a decree for marriage”?
She wanted to know who her grandfather had “given” her Aunt Jing to.
