Chapter 534: Temptation
Lan Xin and Dong Xiu said a few more thoughtful words, and the topic unconsciously revolved around Pei Jieming. The little girl came in with the curtain and reported: "Girl, Mr. Pei is here." ”
"Well, got it. Invite Mr. Pei to the front hall for tea. Lan Xin said with a smile, and raised his eyebrows and glanced at Dong Xiu: I really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive!
"Girl!" Dongxiu glanced at Lan Xin with disgust, "I know how to make fun of slaves." The slave maid first went to the kitchen to see if the lotus seed soup ordered by Zhen's mother was ready. After speaking, without waiting for Lan Xin to speak, he hurriedly turned around and opened the curtain and left.
Lan Xin pursed his lips and muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's really stingy, it's not okay to make a joke." Without delay, he got up and put on his cloak, and walked out of the house accompanied by Bai Aya.

Lan Xin held the teacup and took small sips. And Pei Jieming, who was sitting opposite, was lying on the table, looking at the sketch of the school that Lan Xin had taken over and that she had made overnight, and looked at it seriously.
After looking at it, he carefully stacked the sketches aside. Picking up the teacup next to him, Meng poured a few sips of tea, nodded and said, "The girl's ingenuity is admirable to Pei!"
Lan Xin put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Let Mr. Pei see and smile, but he borrowed some ideas from the young grandmother of the Lin family and drew indiscriminately." When Mr. Pei was on a study tour, he also went to several academies. I wonder if you have any insights into the management of our school?"
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. Pei Jieming hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Where there is any insight, it's just some immature ideas." After saying it, I hope the girl will not laugh. ”
Lan Xin smiled and said, "Mr. Pei, don't be presumptuous. There is no need to beat around the bush between us, just say it directly. ”
Pei Jieming said with a smile: "The school is a place for reading and literacy. The girl is kind and righteous, and is willing to let the children of those poor families come to school. This initiative alone is a joy to behold······
Since we uphold the purpose of reading and educating people, we must not only study, but also let them learn to be human beings. Therefore, Pei thinks······ These are Pei's humble opinions, and I ask the girl to decide. After finishing speaking, he solemnly arched his hand to Lan Xin.
After listening to this, Lan Xin nodded again and again, "What Mr. Pei said is extremely true. Some of your insights are unique and admirable. Therefore, I will definitely ask people to engrave the words 'reading and educating people' on the shadow wall of the school, so that people who come and go can see these four big characters.
First, it reminds us not to forget the original intention, and we must not forget the purpose of establishing this school at any time. Second, it is also a warning to those children who come to the school to study. The purpose of entering the school is to learn to be a person and learn to learn. Don't bring all that nonsense into the school. Otherwise, don't blame us for kicking people out of the school. ”
"That's exactly what the girl said. Pei Jieming nodded and said, "It's just that the school is gradually expanding, and there will be more and more students." Isn't it time for the girl to send a proper person over for the restraint and some general affairs? You know, Pei is okay to do learning and teaching, but as for the other ······?"
As he spoke, he looked at Lan Xin with a blank face, and the meaning was obvious: Girl, you understand.
Lan Xin nodded understandingly, and said with a smile: "I have already talked to Dongxiu about this matter. I'm going to let her go over and take over the affairs over there. ”
Hearing the word "Dongxiu", Pei Jieming's eyes lit up, the tenderness in it flashed, and he said with a smile: "If that's the case, it's really good!"
Lan Xin looked at him with a flat look in his eyes, not missing any expression on his face. Seeing that the joy on his face did not seem to be fake, he was happy in his heart, but his face did not show it at all. In a flat tone, he said, "Don't be too happy. ”
The smile on Pei Jieming's face froze, his eyes blinked, and he was a little at a loss for a moment.
Lan Xin desperately pressed down the corners of his upturned mouth, and asked in a calm voice, "I want to know, what are you thinking about Dongxiu?"
Pei Jieming's fair cheeks turned red as soon as he "soared", and his face was hot. He pursed his lips, swallowed the saliva in his mouth, and stammered, "No······ Don't tell the girl, I'm ······ I ······· Pei appreciates Dongxiu's decisiveness, alertness, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and good at ······ Good at ······ In short, Pei likes Dongxiu and wants to marry her. ”
After a short sentence, sweat trickled down his forehead.
Lan Xin didn't want to embarrass him too much, and said with a smile: "You are a person with a meritorious reputation, and Dongxiu is just a slave." The union between you is bound to make Dongxiu feel wronged. ”
"Rest assured, Pei will definitely be good to Dongxiu. Pei Jieming hurriedly explained, "Pei is alone now, although it is a little thinner. But it's not without its benefits. At least after the winter show, there is no need to worry about those trivial things. There are no parents-in-law to serve······ Always, the pros outweigh the disadvantages. Aunt ······ Girl. ”
Pei Jieming's lips couldn't stop squirming, wanting to say something to make his girl agree. He suddenly realized that his brain, which he had been proud of, was now as if it had stopped, and he could not say a word.
"Hehe!" Lan Xin glanced at Pei Jieming with a smile, and said lightly: "Before I finished speaking, Mr. Pei hurriedly said such a lot of words. It seems that I am thinking too much, Mr. Pei himself ······"
"No, no, girl, you say, you say. Benjamin Pei apologized again and again, sitting there, looking deaf.
Lan Xinha laughed and continued: "I have already freed Dongxiu from slavery, and I will wait for you to get married. The two of you will be in charge of the school together. One outside the Lord, one inside the Lord. The two worked together with each other. ”
"Yes, girl. Benjamin Pei happily agreed. "I'm ready to ask the old man Meng from Zhuangzi to come over and propose to Dongxiu. And the three books and six gifts are the same, and a lot of them are sent over. ”
"Hmm!" Lan nodded in satisfaction. Uneasy, he advised, "If you can think of this, I'm also happy for Dongxiu." Only, I hope you will always remember what was said today. If Dongxiu is wronged, I will not spare you!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" the girl said. Pei Jieming hurriedly said.
Lan Xin gently shook the cup in his hand, looking at the warm tea soup, rippling layer by layer. Suddenly raised his head and asked, "Mr. Pei, if your foot can be cured, will you go for it?"
