"He is serving as an attendant student for my brother."
Meng Ruyu could hear this sentence echoing in her ears.
How could it be possible?
No, she didn't believe it.
Such a handsome man, with such exceptional grace, how could he just be an attendant student?
Zhao Xiaohua spoke to herself, "I heard their family fell into hardship, so he had to sell himself. He used to be educated. Both my mother and my second brother say he is quite good. I also think he's pretty decent. Anyway, he works swiftly. Cousin Ruyu, if you like him, you need to ask aunt to come and see if it's possible."
If her mother knew she fancied a servant, wouldn't she skin her alive?
Her mother's hope was that she could become an official's wife.
Not marry someone of low status.
Also, it's said that once someone enters low status, unless the master agrees, they can't start a family. If they do, their children would also be of low status.
"Cousin Ruyu, why aren't you speaking?" Zhao Xiaohua asked.
