Shen Wenwen suddenly thought of a more important problem. There are secrets of Aunt Li and Dingyuan's residence, which can't be known by Wen jinniang or Liang Yun.
"Why, no?"
"You gave it back to me. Isn't it a big loss?" Shen Wenwen woke him up with a smile.
"It can be returned slowly from other places."
"Li Chengan." Shen Wenwen was a little speechless for a moment.
"Why?"
"I'm your cousin, and I've got an engagement with Liang Yun. Even if you're really interested in me, you don't have a chance."
Li Cheng'an smiles and looks into her eyes. "I'll know if I have a chance. With my friendship with Liang Yun, as long as you give up, he won't mind."
Shen Wenwen sneers. Is it common for officials to be so self righteous?
……
On the other hand, Wen jinniang went to the Marquis's residence in Dingyuan according to the routine of these days, only to find that Shen Wenwen went out with the Li family orphan.
On the one hand, he was surprised that the Dingyuan Marquis's discipline of the eldest daughter was really a development. On the other hand, he was also worried about Liang Yun's living habits in Jiangnan.
Just as Wen jinniang sat in her room and looked at the list of new scholars, she was ready to pick out some powerful subordinates for Liang Yun. She suddenly claimed that Liang Yun's friends had found their own way.
"My name is Ji Yong. I was the younger martial brother of Liang Yun." A man in a blue gown stood in the hall and saluted the woman.
"Younger martial brother?" Wen jinniang was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, we all studied in a private school when we were young. The old man was knowledgeable and taught a lot..."
Wen jinniang interrupted him, "then you should know what Liang Yun experienced when he was a child. How about taking me to see the old man?"
She wanted to know the real side of Liang Yun, and then asked what Liang Yun meant by Shen Wenwen's porcelain.
Ji Yong came to Wen jinniang first, as Liang Yun said in his letter, so he agreed to come down and take Wen jinniang to see the old gentleman of the Academy.
……
At this time, it was only a few days away from Qiuwei. On the way back in the summer, all the students came from all over the country to go to the Academy. Only in front of the door of the book garden Liang Yun had read in those years, they were still standing outside for a long time. When the sun was falling, they knocked at the door.
"It's getting late. I don't know the etiquette. The students are coming to harass Mr. Wang. He has a strange temperament and doesn't have neighbors to harass him. It's probably a good time to have a good rest." Ji Yong had heard that their old gentleman had been visiting flowers in high school, but he didn't know how to deal with officialdom, or he didn't want to participate in the party struggle. After three years, he was dismissed and became an idle man.
The old man was able to let go. He set up a school in a village near the capital. Regardless of his age and family background, he was like sage Kong. If he offered ten pieces of dried meat, he would recognize this disciple and teach him carefully.
So the next day, Wen jinniang got up early to clean up, followed Ji Yong slowly to the Academy, opened the door of the old man's inner room, bowed down solemnly, and presented the bundle with her hands, which she had prepared early. In addition to the ten pieces of dried meat, there was a string of beads made of mutton in her sleeve.
Ji Yong smiles, "Sir, the students are late. This is Liang Yun's wife. I want to ask you something."
Wen jinniang smiles. At this time, there is only a candle burning in the inner room. She looks like a ghost in the dark. She sits on her desk and turns bamboo slips by candlelight.
Aware that someone is coming, thin fingers put down the tea cup, squint at a man and a woman, only to see Ji Yong hand dry meat, lazily put people to the outside, "get out. What are these pickles to do in the inner room. You go to find a place to put it down and come back when you go. "
Ji Yong thought that the old man was still virtuous, but wenjinniang didn't know.
Ji Yong got up and patted off the ashes on his skirt. Without even giving him a straight eye, he hung the dried meat on his doorframe. The place was good and the smell was fast. The feet of turning back had not yet fallen to the ground. It was a series of work. It was still early to visit, but he was afraid that the old man would be paralyzed in the inner room by himself.
When the tea was cold, the old man burned a pot of hot water, mixed it directly into the teapot, and then poured it into the cup.
The tea cup was put back, steaming with heat.
When she went out to collect the books, she arranged them according to the books, put them in order and sent them to the inner room. After looking for the money under the corridor for a long time, the wine shop was not close to her. After a long journey, Wen jinniang felt that the old man was in trouble.
Wine is a newly brewed peach blossom wine. A gourd full of wine is enough for him to live and dream all night.
Wine gourd in his hand, Ji Yong look at him like this, I'm afraid did not receive students, but still not give up.
"Sir, are there any students coming to the school recently?"
The dried meat hung on the door frame, wobbling, adding a pair of fireworks atmosphere, but lazy to get up, simply let him go.
The old man didn't intend to talk to Wen jinniang. Ji Yong was busy, but when he saw the hot water pouring into the residual tea, his cigarette bag knocked on the desk. The old man sneered, "Ji Yong, don't say goodbye when you go out. Are you cooking tea or watering crops?"
Ji Yong smiles, as if he didn't hear anything, and continues to pour tea.
"My name is Wen jinniang, and I'm Liang Yun's wife. My husband went to Jiangnan to handle affairs impartially this time. I heard that the old man has both virtue and art, so I came to visit for him."
The old man picked up the wine pot and bumped it. He ignored it. He repeatedly asked Ji Yong to add firewood to the stove and teach him how to make tea. He took the sand pot and boiled it again. When he got up his crab's eyes, he poured the tea into the pot and put it on the stove for boiling. For a moment, he didn't make a sound, squinted and spat thin smoke between his lips and teeth.
"It's very cold here, sir. There are too few students this year. Why don't I go to Qingshan County..."
"Qingshan county is an old man teaching. I don't want to go there. As for the students, there are plenty of them. They can't do it any more."
The old man turned to look at him with a smile, then looked at Wen jinniang and sipped a cigarette. "Some are smarter than Ji Yong, and some are more obedient than him. How come today I finally know I'm stupid and want to go home and plow?"
Ji Yong smiles. It can be seen that this is a deception. There should not be many students here.
Wen jinniang also felt that what she said was not quite right. "The old man is really good at joking. The disciples you teach must have the ability to cultivate land."
"Stupid to make tea, crazy to drink, the little girl came to me, I think there must be a problem." Holding the teapot and pouring the green tea soup into the teacup, he suddenly lost interest and threw it to the ground. The hot tea splashed on the ground to let off steam.
