Chapter 5 — Three Years in the Institute of Succeeding
"Chau Nhi, the old decree has been found. If you want to go home, father will pick you up right now." He said very kindly. But I know you finished your calculations last night. If today my sister proactively says she won't go, the Gu family won't need to return the reward. Sister looked at the crowd outside the door and saw Ta Kinh Xuyen. She straightened her back. "I'm not going." Father breathed a sigh of relief. Mother cried and called her name. Sister did not look at her mother. Her eyes fell on me. "Co Minh Lan, do you think that finding an old holy decree can destroy me?" I did not answer. She raised her voice: "I have persevered for two years. Three months later, I will stand on the Vong Tue platform, completing the final blessing ceremony." "At that time, everyone will understand who is the true Ky Tue Nu!" Chatter rang out in the crowd. Someone started praising her for her virginity. The light in his father's eyes also restored. The great-grandmother asked me: "Is it uncomfortable?" "A little." "Because she doesn't know good or bad?" I shook my head. "Because she really thinks that after suffering for two years, she must endure another three months." The great-grandmother looked at her sister. "A lot of people are like that." The greater the cost, the more people refuse to admit that they have taken the wrong path. So my sister chose to go back into the hospital. Before the door closed, she seriously bowed to Ta Kinh Xuyen. Ta Kinh Xuyen leaned aside, not accepting the ceremony. Her face immediately stiffened. 11Seven days before the Vong Tue festival, Thua Chi Institute began to blockade the streets. Sister will read her final will on the high platform. On this day in my previous life, I also stood in the same place. In the funeral wishes given to me by the mandarin, it was written that women take silence as virtue, and take suffering as sincerity. It was also written that Ky Tue Nu had to give up her personal feelings and appreciate the education of Thua Chi Institute all her life. At that time, I knew the story of Ta Chieu Ninh and the other girls. I didn't read that article. I read the names of the twelve girls who died in the Thua Chi Institute. In my previous life, when my sister ran over, I just happened to hear the people's cheers. She thought those people were praising me. Actually, they are asking the eunuch to give an explanation. Ta Kinh Xuyen stepped onto the high platform not to welcome a Ky Tue Nu surrounded by glory. He's just afraid that someone else will drag me down. In this life, my sister completely does not know those things. She remembers the white clothes, the high platform, and also remembers Ta Kinh Xuyen holding my hand. Just forgot to ask me what I said then. The night before the big ceremony, my sister asked someone to send me a piece of paper. Tomorrow, you will lose your heart and mind. After reading it, I put the piece of paper in the old notebook. The great-grandmother asked: "Why keep it?" "So someone else can read it later." "Read how stupid it is?" "Read how a person went to the end of the wrong path." The great-grandmother was silent for a while. "Are you going to go on stage tomorrow?" "Yes." "To save him?" I shook my head. "For the people who died." Sister may not be grateful. But Ta Chieu Ninh and others no longer had the chance to speak up. I adjusted my sleeves and walked out of the Western courtyard. Ta Kinh Xuyen is waiting outside. He gave me a cloth bag. Inside are two hot mantau. I was stunned. He coughed softly. "The grandmother said that when she's stressed, she often forgets to eat." "When did she tell you?" "This afternoon." I took the curtain. "You only brought this?" Ta Kinh Xuyen frowned. "Not enough?" I tried to hold back my laughter. "Enough." He walked with me for a while. When he was about to reach the beginning of the street, he stopped walking. "Co Minh Lan, no matter what happens tomorrow, you don't have to fend for yourself alone." I looked at him. In his previous life, he also said something similar
So. At that time we thought it was just a word of comfort. Later we learned that he had never broken his promise. 12 On the day of the Vong Tue great ceremony, the long street was filled with people. Step by step, sister went up to the high platform. The white shirt pulled over the stone steps, the jade tag on the neck reflecting the cold light in the sunlight. She was calmer than I was in my previous life. For this moment, she waited two years and nine months. The priest opened the testament. Sister reached out her hand to receive it. Before opening her mouth, she looked towards Ta Kinh Xuyen under the stage. Ta Kinh Xuyen did not raise his head. He is talking to Mrs. Ta. Her sister's fingers tightened her pussy. A moment later, she started reading. The voice was very steady. "A woman keeps quiet, she can keep the family safe." "A woman endures hunger and thirst, she can move heaven and earth." "Ky Tue Nu sacrifices herself for three years, only then can she protect the peace of a city." Below the stage, an old man knelt down. Then someone else knelt and bowed. A look of joy appeared in her sister's eyes. In the end, she got everything I had in my previous life. Fame, admiration and eyes of the whole city. When reading the last paragraph, Mrs. Ta suddenly spoke: "My daughter, Ta Chieu Ninh, kept quiet until what month did she die?" The surrounding area immediately became quiet. The sister bowed her head and looked down.
