20. Chapter 20
Soon after Xiao Ye said goodbye, Second Master Ruan saw that the time was not early, so he also got up and said goodbye to Old Madam Zhao: "The little son-in-law came in a hurry this time, and I have to take Sister Jin to say goodbye first, and next time Xiu Mu will come over to say hello to my father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”
Hugh? Isn't my father always at home? Old Madam Zhao's words immediately attracted An Jin's mind from Xiao Ye's sudden appearance and departure.
Before An Jin's mind could spin more, he heard Mrs. Zhao say again: "Well, since I made an appointment with Mr. Lin'an in the afternoon, I should take this as the most important thing, and I won't leave you for lunch." In the future, you will teach and educate people in Jinhua Academy, and you should be diligent and rigorous, so as not to disappoint Mr. Lin'an's trust in you. ”
He said to An Jin again, "Sister Jin'er, you should also go back to see how the maid-in-law is tidying up, clean up, and go back with your father, your mother is very worried about you." When you want to come in the future, send someone to talk to your grandmother, and your grandmother will send someone to pick you up. ”
An Jin's eyes lit up when she heard her grandmother's previous words, her father was going to teach at Jinhua Academy? Later, when she heard that she was asked to pack up and leave, she hurriedly saluted the two, and ignored Zhao Chengyi, who was yin and yang, and hurried back to the courtyard where she lived. She wanted to know about her father's going to Jinhua Academy to teach as if she had been scratched by a cat's claw, so she hurriedly went back and packed up and asked her father again.
Jinhua Academy was one of the three major academies of the Great Qi Dynasty, the other two being Lulin Academy in Jiangnan and Nanxin Academy in Lingnan. Jinhua Academy is the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty after the old prime minister invited the old and young of the previous dynasty to live in seclusion and study to build, there are many celebrities, and it is deeply loved by the remnants of the aristocracy of the previous dynasty. However, the Emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty unexpectedly supported it, and he was not afraid that this was a rebellion concentration camp. Of course, I thought that this was built by the old prime minister, and it may also be that he was ordered by Emperor Zu to use this as a base camp for Zhao'an celebrities.
Kyoto is a thriving government school, but Kinka Seoin is known for its unique traditions, long historical heritage, and many scholars, and is known as the largest royal academy and the central government academy in Kyoto.
The royal academy knows that it is sponsored by the royal family, in addition to the royal descendants, it is the noble family, the men's academy teaches aristocratic etiquette riding and archery, and teaches the statecraft and the art of war in different classes, etc., and the women's academy teaches aristocratic social etiquette, banquet skills, makeup and dressing, fat and incense, but the women's academy flourished in the early days of the Great Qi Dynasty, and has now gradually declined, and has only become an occasional learning place for the royal princess and the princess of the county lord.
Most of the children of the Central Government Academy are admitted to the poor family, and they study articles, scriptures, arithmetic, and engineering, either for scientific examinations or for the future to be directly admitted to various ministries and junior colleges, and most of them are stepping stones to open the road of official economy.
Therefore, both the Royal Academy and the Central Government Academy are mainly pragmatic, teaching skills to make a living according to their status and needs.
Jinhua Academy is different, this is the training base for strange people and strange things, brilliant and romantic characters, and those who bring one out are all brilliant and talented peerless young people. Therefore, Jinhua Academy is the favorite place for literati and ink writers, and they don't go to the official academy to provoke a secular taste. And if you want to develop into poetry, calligraphy, painting, chess and other elegant skills, this must be the best place to learn, because there are the best masters here. There are also many merchants who desperately want to send their children in, because if they enter, they can improve their social status, as if they are missing a few layers of copper smell.
I don't know how my father got into it and became a gentleman? Could it be that he underestimated his father's status?
Because of the hurry, An Jin didn't have time to say hello to each house and courtyard, and only sent a few little maids in the house to deliver letters respectively. She thought that she had been sick in the past few days, except for her grandmother, everyone had not come to visit her, saying that she would definitely not have an opinion on who was dissatisfied, she knew that especially the high-ranking families were afraid of this disease, and in this case, the warmth of the flowers must always be carefully conceded.
I heard that Zhao Chengyi had to sneak over every time she came to see her, and she would be blamed by her second aunt when she went back. When An Jin heard this, she just laughed it off. It's just that I want to say that I really have no guilt in my heart, and even An Jin doesn't know if it's sincere.
When An Jin took her maids and daughters-in-law to the side gate of the mansion, her father was already waiting there. He was talking to a eunuch-like man, and a middle-aged woman in a dark blue cloth skirt was waiting on the side, and next to the woman stood a serving little girl.
"Father!" An Jin called.
Second Master Ruan looked up and saw An Jin, so he beckoned her to come forward, and said with a smile: "Jin'er, come here, this is the head of the Lingnan Wang Shizi in Kyoto, Master Zhu, he was instructed by the prince to wait here to introduce us to Doctor Fu." ”
Mr. Zhu's round face and round body made him smile very kindly, and he saluted An Jin and said, "The minister has seen Miss Seven." The prince specially ordered that he would not leave until he saw the young lady, so the minister was cheeky and waited here. Then he turned around and pointed to the woman in blue on the side, "This is Doctor Fu, Doctor Fu is still a member of our Lingnan Wang's old princess's family, she likes medical skills since she was a child, and she was once known as a doctor, and she has been following the old princess since then." When Xiao Shizi came to Kyoto, the old princess was not at ease, so she specially ordered Xiao Shizi to follow. ”
The woman in blue listened to Mr. Zhu's words, so she bent down and saluted An Jin, and called, "Seventh Miss." "Mandarin is not standard.
An Jin looked at this Doctor Fu, with a thin face, three-dimensional facial features, slightly sunken eyes but bright and energetic, not tall, typical of the southern coastal area, but although she is old, her skin is still soft and fair, but her fingers are distinct, her expression is neither humble nor overbearing, and she has a calm and calm temperament, not like a doctor, but like a senior court lady.
An Jin nodded at her, thanked Manager Zhu again, and then raised her head and said with a sincere face: "Your prince is benevolent, but I am deeply uneasy, Doctor Fu was originally ordered by the old princess to follow the princess, and they are all the old princess's heart, how dare the little woman take love, isn't it not to live up to the old princess's love, and trap the prince in the land of unfilial piety." Besides, the little girl's illness has long been fine, and she can't do this unrighteous and unfilial act, so she really doesn't dare to ask Doctor Fu to leave the world and come to the little woman's side. ”
Manager Zhu nodded with a smile and said: "If Miss Seventh is as the prince said, she understands righteousness and pure conscience, and she will definitely refuse to accept the love of the prince." But Shizi instructed that he would not need Doctor Fu for the time being, so he really made Doctor Fu Mingzhu dusty, and still let Doctor Fu follow Miss Seven in order to give full play to Doctor Fu's strengths, so no matter what, please also ask Miss Seven to let Doctor Fu accompany him. ”
The two of you went back and forth and played Tai Chi for a long time. I don't know if it's because the official is not good at speaking, or because he doesn't like to talk, Dr. Fu just stood with a smile and didn't speak, but there was a can't help but joke in his eyes.
Finally, Second Master Ruan couldn't help but say loudly: "Jin'er, since it is Xiao Shizi's kindness, you let Doctor Fu live in Ruan's house for a while to help you regulate your body, you have been seriously ill since two years ago, and your health has been poor, and this time you have fallen into the water again and again, you should still take a look, so as not to fall into any disease." ”
Second Master Ruan blamed himself very much, he said in his heart, he really spent too little time on his daughter, why did Xiao Qi grow into such a sour appearance? Did you learn it from yourself?
An Jin suffocated when she heard this, Dad, are you saying that your daughter is not in good health in public? What should I do if I can't get married?
An Jin climbed into the carriage and said goodbye to his father and Mr. Zhu, and his mood was gloomy. She heard that her father had invited Doctor Fu and her little girl to get into the carriage behind, and after saying goodbye to the chief manager of the Zhao family and the servant woman who saw them off, she got on the horse herself, and ordered someone to drive back to the house.
An Jin wilted on the carriage for a while, Xue Qing didn't understand Miss's sorrow, and said with a big brain: "Miss, are you reluctant to be the sixth young master?" Alas, if the Sixth Young Master knew that you were so troubled, he would definitely be very reluctant, so he would go directly to the Hou Mansion with us. ”
An Jin looked at Xue Qing with wide eyes, and the depression in her heart deepened, she deeply felt that the male sex was so terrible, and she had harmed her loyal and honest Xue Qing, look at what it looks like now? Such incredible words have been spoken! What do you say that you are reluctant to give up, little girl, are you ashamed?
"Xue Qing, this kind of thing is also what you said!" Biluo scolded in a low voice. As a personal maid, she repeatedly said this kind of thing in front of the young lady, if the young lady was moved, they really couldn't excuse themselves! And Xue Qing couldn't see it clearly, but she could see it clearly, the second wife of the uncle's family obviously didn't like Miss Seven very much, their young lady was so good, how could she tolerate others to be so contemptuous, and they had to post it again? No matter how good the young master of the sixth table is, he can't do it. Even if Mrs. Zhao is in charge in the future, it shouldn't be something that they can provoke at will.
Xue Qing was trained by Biluo, and she also knew that her words had made a mistake, peeking at An Jin, and seeing An Jin looking at herself inquiringly, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly lowered her head to admit her mistake and stopped talking.
An Geun closed her eyes, ignored it, and slowly fell asleep and woke up in the carriage.
After a while, she was woken up by the noise outside, but it was the carriage that had traveled a block, and the sound of people coming and going outside, and the shouting of the vendors was very lively.
An Jin couldn't help but open the corner of the carriage window, and looked out, only to see that this neighborhood was much livelier than the neighborhood in the area where the Marquis Zhongyi's mansion was located, the road was very wide, divided into two directions, and each had a carriageway and a sidewalk. An Jin sighed secretly, the crossing technology has really penetrated into every corner of the imperial capital, relatively speaking, he is really a rice worm, and he has not been able to make a little contribution to the prosperity and construction of my Great Qi Dynasty.
The streets are lined with a variety of shops, with the smell of snack bars hitting the tip of the nose, and the exquisite decoration of ready-to-wear shops, and the entrance is actually a spinning dummy in a gorgeous costume.
"Jin'er, do you like it here?" The father's gentle voice suddenly drifted to An Jin's ears, but the second master Ruan, who had been paying attention to his daughter, saw An Jin's little head lying in the window, so he asked.
"Uh-huh." An Geun nodded, "Can I also come out for a walk?" An Geun asked her father.
"Not right now." Second Master Ruan replied, as soon as An Jin was discouraged, he knew. Who knew that the second master Ruan continued: "You are not completely cured yet, you can't blow the wind, when you are completely well, your father took you out to play, you haven't eaten the roast mutton and ten immortal vegetarian brocade of Quanxian Building, it is a famous delicacy in Kyoto." ”
An Jin was stunned, her father is in good spirits on a happy occasion? I don't usually see such a good time for my sisters. But it's really tempting, she wants it all.
