Lizheng Academy is in the col two miles outside the east city gate, and when the three of them arrived at Lizheng Academy, Li Weizhu's eyes showed envy, which was really because of the elegance of the construction of Lizheng Academy. At the foot of the mountain, there is a stone stele, which is written as "self-cultivation and uprightness, liberal arts and ambitions", which is the precept of Lizheng Academy, the winding bluestone slab steps, and then hundreds of steps, you can see the mountain gate.

Li Weizhu took the two maids and stepped on the steps of the bluestone slab, Li Weizhu couldn't help but think of the words of the two women, one tall and one short, the Lizheng Academy in Zhangyang City is like this, what kind of medical academy in Kyoto is like? If he knew early on that the medical academy in Kyoto was recruiting female students, would his grandfather accept the marriage of the Zhao family, and would he let himself enter Kyoto?

Li Weizhu touched a Pisces jade pendant in her arms, and sighed in her heart, no matter what, she is now married to the eldest son of the Zhao family.

took out the two-fish jade pendant, the best mutton fat jade glowed mildly in the sun, but Li Weizhu knew that this jade pendant was originally even more shiny, because it was worn on people's bodies and was played with by others, and she had been placed at the bottom of the box since she got the Zhao family's jade pendant, and only when she came out of the village did she put this jade pendant close to her.

At this time, the mountain breeze rose, with a clear and slightly cool taste in the mountains in the distance, and the green shirt on Li Weizhu's body was full, and the long hair tied by the green bamboo hairpin was blown up by the breeze, Li Weizhu also put aside that little bit of reverie for the time being, and the pursed lips curled up a very shallow arc, and the mountain wind wanted to make peace, which provoked a person from Lizheng Academy to look back frequently, "You are also going to Lizheng Academy?"

Li Weizhu looked over, the person was a splendid ayaluo, and his body was fat, because his face was full of meat, the noodle plate was like a steamed bun, and his forehead was full of sweat, while talking to Li Weizhu, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, "It's really hot today, if it weren't for my dad who had to let me come over to take a look, I would never have climbed the mountain, and there was no soft sedan chair that could lift people up." He spoke quickly, full of irritability from the heat.

"It's very hot, so go slower. Looking at the appearance of this little fat man, Li Weizhu had the heart to let him go slower, he was afraid that he would not be able to stand it when the sun climbed like this.

Li Weizhu's voice is clear, neither fast nor slow, and full of concern for himself, Luo Ming was born rich and noble, and he saw Li Weizhu's master and servant along the way, at first he disliked Li Weizhu's shabby dress, but because of his graceful demeanor, he had the urge to talk, and now listening to his words, he has a better impression of her, "Yes, yes, go slowly, I'm hot." As soon as his hand stretched out, there was a scholar carrying a book on his back, and took a bottle of water from it, Luo Ming drank it, and after drinking, he wiped the transparent sleeping posture at the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, "Ice water is comfortable together, I still have more here, if you are thirsty, I still have water here, all with ice, before taking it out of the freezer." ”

Li Weizhu shook her head, "Drink less, otherwise your body will not be able to stand it." "Drinking ice water in the summer stimulates the stomach and intestines, which is not good, and he sweats too much, the water should be drunk in small sips, if he drinks too much, it will lead to the internal balance being broken, dizziness, vomiting, weakness, etc.

"It's fine. Luo Mingfu smiled, "I'm in good health." Instead, she looked at Li Weizhu with pity, she looked thin and small, and she was still wearing shabby clothes, but she was afraid that she usually didn't eat well and her body was not very good.

If it were usual, Luo Ming would definitely be too lazy to take care of such a poor scholar, this kind of person is not well dressed, but he has a strong sense of self-esteem, and if the other party doesn't like what he says, he will brush his sleeves away, which will make no one on the mountain, and he has a good impression of Li Weizhu, Luo Ming spoke, "My name is Luo Ming, there are no words yet, what do you call it?"

"Li Weizhu, there is no word. ”

Luo Ming smiled, the big white teeth exposed under his eyes shone brightly, "It's rare for Lizheng Academy to open to the outside world today, my father learned the news in the morning, so he rushed me over, and asked me to say, studying at home, it's weird, why do you want to come to the academy, there are so many rules here." ”

Li Weizhu thought for a while, "Although I came from other places, I also know the reputation of Lizheng Academy, and I think that many of the masters who come here are famous Confucians, and they are all scholars. That's the good thing about the college. ”

Luo Ming heard Li Weizhu's words, and slapped his thigh, "Yes, my father said the same thing, but I am not a student of study, and I can't enter this Lizheng Academy, Brother Li, I see that you talk elegantly, why didn't you enter my Zhangyang Academy? Oh, by the way, you just said that you are from somewhere else, are you short of money? ”

Li Weizhu shook her head, "I don't have much knowledge, I just know some words, and I don't know anything about poetry." Although my grandfather left Kyoto, he never let go of his lifelong medical skills, although the family was poor, there were a lot of medical books, the most precious is the madder basket in the grandfather's medical experience over the years, if there is a chance, Li Weizhu wants to form a booklet.

Luo Ming looked at Li Weizhu and felt even more pity, yes, I'm afraid her family is poor and can't afford to read, but why are there two maids by her side?"

Bai Qi was disliked by Luo Ming's words, and his face sank, "I only follow the young master, I don't want moon silver, the young master saved my life, I will be the young master's person all my life." ”

Luo Ming listened to Bai Qian's words, at first because Bai Qi could only be said to be delicate, he didn't look carefully, but now listening to Bai Qian's voice, crisp and pleasant, he has been a young master all his life, he smiled ambiguously, and his family is poor and has no way to marry a wife, it is okay to be a maid now, and to be a lady in the future, "What about this?" He Nunu mouthed, and pointed to the silent madder.

"It's the same with madder!" Bai Qi didn't wait for Li Weizhu to answer, and said, "We don't want money." will also help the young master. ”

Luo Ming looked at Li Weizhu's gaze with a little envy at this time, speaking of which Bai Qi's appearance can only be said to be delicate, and the appearance of madder is much better than that of Bai Qi, a pair of raised apricot eyes are gentle light, different from Bai Qi's thin figure, this madder's figure is even more concave and convex, only because she is silent and lowers her head most of the time, people ignore her good appearance.

"Brother Li, why don't you pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, let a little girl like Madder carry such a basket for you. ”

"Because madder has a lot of strength. Bai Qi said in a hurry.

Li Weizhu bowed slightly, "Bai Qi is right, Madder's strength is great, she can stand this." After a pause, he said, "I won't sell these two maids, if I have a good home in the future, the deed of sale will also be released." ”

"No, I don't. Bai Qian shook his head, looked up at Li Weizhu, and said stubbornly, "When you saved me, I said that my life in this life is yours." As for the madder ......, "At that time, Li Weizhu saved her, Bai Qi had to sign a deed of sale for herself, and went to the official mansion to register, and later met Madder, she also persuaded Madder to follow Li Weizhu for a lifetime, Bai Qi thought that she was not in good health, and consumed a lot of precious medicinal materials, but it was Madder, because of her great strength, she was busy a lot along the way, "If Madder wants to redeem herself in the future, the young master will not stop it." ”

Madder begins, "I'm also a person who knows how to repay my kindness." The implication is that she will not leave Li Weizhu.

Luo Ming couldn't help but be even more envious when he saw the three masters and servants, although he didn't manage the backyard, he also knew that heartfelt servants were rare, "Okay, well, these two maids can't be sold." If you're reading, you might as well come to me. Luo Ming patted his chest, "The eldest son of the Luo family in Zhangyang is me." ”

Li Weizhu's eyes were a little confused, and Bai Qi hurriedly said, "I inquired when I entered the city before, if the first one in Zhangyang City is the Zhao family, then the second one is the Luo family. ”

"Nonsense," Luo Ming jumped out, "what is the first, my family is the first." The Zhao family is thriving now, but because of the eldest son of the Zhao family, he reads well. Of course, I admit that he reads well, but he has nothing to do in his life, after all, he has such a family affair. ”

Li Weizhu's expression was stunned.

Luo Ming said, "His family affairs are also related to his own family. The Zhao family has two men and a girl, the eldest son Zhao Shaochen, and the second son Zhao Shaoxing. After being cured, it was said that he was going to be lame for a lifetime, how could the Zhao family accept this ending? So he went everywhere to seek famous doctors, and he didn't know where he really met a capable doctor in the ravine and cured Zhao Shaoxing's leg, but ah, the other party has a request, guess what?"

"What is it?"

"You, you really don't have a brain at all. Luo Ming was speechless and shook his head, "I said so, what else can there be? Of course, it is to benefit, there is an ugly girl without salt in the family of the divine doctor, and she proposed to marry the eldest son of the Zhao family, you don't know, the Zhao family not only spent a lot of money, but the ancestral jade pendant was made as a token of love and given to the divine doctor's family." ”

Li Weizhu's face turned pale, she has been living in the house, she didn't expect this family affair to become like this in the mouths of others, and she and her grandfather were even more unbearable.

"Young Master......"

"I'm fine. Li Weizhu shook her head and looked at Luo Ming, "And then?"

Li Weizhu's fluttering three words made Luo Ming's heart sink suddenly, as if he shouldn't talk about this topic, "What else can there be?" is to sue you, this eldest son of the Zhao family may be a joke in Zhangyang City in the future." By the way, there is also the little son of the Zhao family, who was originally the most lively, like a leather monkey every day, after this incident, he has calmed down a lot, I am afraid that it is also because of his own affairs that his brother has been affected, and he is ashamed in his heart. ”

"How do you know it's persecution?" Bai Qi watched Li Weizhu's face become more and more ugly, Bai Qi's tears were almost falling, she held back her tears and looked up at Luo Ming.

"Huh?" Luo Ming was stunned, "This is my guess, other people in Zhangyang City don't know about this matter, as far as my family knows." ”

"Maybe you can't guess for sure. ”

Luo Ming shook his head, "That's not possible, because the whole Zhangyang City guesses that the future wife of the eldest son of the family is the cousin who lives in his house." Only my family knew about this old incident because of some old feuds with the Zhao family. My dad doesn't usually let me say it. ”

There was some hatred in Bai Qi's eyes, "You don't have a strict tone, otherwise how would you talk to my son-in-law?!"
