Outside the window is a field of pavilions and houses among the evergreen trees, but these large and small houses are surrounded by a courtyard wall, and only from the second floor of the teahouse can you see the scenery in the courtyard.

Mo Ye was thinking in his heart, whose house was this, how could it be built so extensively, and saw more than a dozen teenagers coming out of a square and relatively wide house. They were dressed almost identically, and the brocade ribbon that tied their hair was the same color as their dress. Looking at the books they were scooping in their hands, Mo Ye suddenly understood, and couldn't help but speak: "Master, is this the 'Lizheng Academy' down there?" ”

Hearing this, Lin Shan withdrew his gaze from the window and nodded to Mo Ye.

Lin Shan's teaching in Lizheng Academy was not hidden from Mo Ye, and after receiving his definite answer, Mo Ye couldn't help but look puzzled, and asked again, "How did we get here?" ”

"That's the answer to that question you asked in the wagon, and it's in front of you right now." Lin Shanwan picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip slowly, and then said, "You can guess for yourself." ”

Mo Ye lay on the edge of the window, looking at the academy downstairs, thinking silently while slowly chewing the sugar gourd in his mouth. After she chewed and swallowed the sugar gourd, she turned around, shook her head at Lin Shan, and said, "Disciple is stupid, please speak clearly." ”

Lin Shan smiled and said to Mo Ye: "It's not that you can't think of it, but you're not sure and hesitating." ”

"I ......" Mo Ye bit his lip before he could say a word, and he heard a rush of footsteps outside. Soon the door of the small room was pushed open with a bang, and a middle-aged scribe in his forties looked like an arrow, swept a few glances into the small room, and his eyes must have found and confirmed Lin Shan's existence, and then he saw the middle-aged scribe staring at Lin Shan and said loudly: "Brother Muwen, you are really here." You...... Why are you still drinking tea here? ”

When Mo Ye saw that someone was coming, her mouth naturally closed, but she soon found that the clothes of the middle-aged man in front of her who behaved a little rough were the same color as the clothes of the scholars in the Nalizheng Academy. So she vaguely guessed the identity of this middle-aged man in her heart, so she was more cautious in her words and deeds. Moving quietly, Mo Ye sat quietly behind Lin Shan's side.

Lin Shan got up and waved to the middle-aged scribe, then stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, not minding his sudden intrusion, but smiling: "Brother Lexing, you really saw me in the academy, and the distance of your gaze makes the junior brother admire!" ”

When Lin Shan was teaching at Lizheng Academy, he used a new identity, a name of Mu Yi, and a single-character text. The middle-aged scribe who suddenly broke into the small room was named Chai Yan, who was also a teacher in the academy.

Chai Yan has been teaching at the academy for several years and is considered a senior member. In addition to teaching, he is also the head of the College, responsible for the borrowing, collection and sorting of books in the College Library. Although his authority is not large, the scope of his functions covers the entire college, and no one in the college knows him.

For a few years, although Chai Yan spent most of his time dealing with dead things such as books and classics in the library of the academy every day, his impatient temperament was not precipitated at all. It is estimated that when Lin Shan was looking out of the window just now, he was seen by Chai Yan, so he chased upstairs in three or two steps.

Seeing that Lin Shan didn't mind his very unreasonable intrusion, but greeted him politely, Chai Yan's feelings calmed down a little, and a touch of embarrassment appeared in his heart.

After a little hesitation, he approached the table, and he didn't shy away from anything, just sat down where Mo Ye had sat just now. He took another teacup, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp, and then said with some anxiety in his tone: "You, you! The dean understands that there is something going on at home and gives you a few days off, but those students in the academy today can't wait. You also know that the temperament and desires of those students who can stay in the academy during the winter break and not go home for the winter are just a few classes waiting for you? ”

Chai Yandao said in a tone here, put down the tea cup in his hand and said: "They know that you are close to me, chasing me all day long, you can drink tea here with leisure, but I will say hello to you first, and then stay away from me when the library asks me to borrow books, so as not to let your group of students look at the peach as a plum." ”

Lin Shan smiled faintly and said: "Brother Lexing, what the younger brother teaches students is just some idle literature and miscellaneous learning, which is useless in the scientific examination, even if he misses a few lessons, it will be harmless." The little brother is lazy by nature, and often makes mistakes because of this, but it is difficult to correct them, I don't want to trouble you today, sin and sin, I will invite you to have a drink another day to make amends. ”

Chai Yan spread his hands and said: "Don't be too humble, we don't have much gossip, hurry up and follow me to the academy, and you will personally go to your students if you want to do this." Chai Yanwan had already stood up, ready to approach Lin Shan's side, grabbed his arm and led him downstairs, but at this time he found that there was a five-year-old girl beside Lin Shan, and he was stunned and said, "What...... Do you still bring a child? ”

"I'm about to discuss this matter with you, since you're here, then the little brother will talk to you now." Lin Shanwan smiled and pushed Mo Ye beside him in front of him, and then introduced: "Brother Lexing, this is my deceased's child, named Mo Ye; Ye'er, this is Mr. Lizheng Academy, hurry up. ”

Mo Ye was slightly stunned, and then bowed deeply: "Student Mo Ye, please meet Mr." ”

Chai Yan felt strange in his heart, and after returning the salute in silence, he turned his eyes to look at Lin Shan, and asked puzzledly, "Why is this?" What do you want to talk to me? ”

Lin Shan said: "I want this child to go to school, and he will study in Lizheng Academy. ”

"This ......" came too suddenly, and Chai Yan couldn't help but show surprise. However, after he pondered for a while, the look of surprise on his face gradually faded, but after glancing at Mo Ye again, there was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes, and he shook his head slightly and said, "Although she is still young, there are kindergartens arranged in the academy, so age is not a problem." But the most troublesome thing is that she is a girl, and the academy is full of boys, and it is not in line with etiquette and religion to admit her. ”

Lin Shan waved at him again before he spoke: "Therefore, this matter needs to be helped by Brother Le Xing." ”

Chai Yan returned the salute, there was still hesitation in his eyes, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you have to do this?" You need to know that she is just a girl, even if she goes to school, she will not be able to enter the official career in the future, so why bother with such trouble? ”

Lin Shanmian said apologetically: "Can I hide the reason for this?" As long as Brother Le Xing usually takes care of it, it is not class time, so that she can study more in the library and go out less. As for the taboos between men and women, I have already thought of ways to arrange them. ”

Chai Yan fell silent. He was silent for a long time, a silence that did not match his fiery temper, but which was his usual attitude when making heavy decisions. Lin Shan was no stranger to this, so he didn't bother, just waited patiently and quietly.

In the end, Chai Yan broke the silence in the teahouse with a soft sigh, raised his eyes to look at Lin Shan, and wrinkled his eyebrows: "Okay, this matter is on my head." ”

Chai Yan came here and took a deep look at Mo Ye again. Seeing that Mo Ye was also looking at him, his eyes were smooth and calm, his eyebrows slowly stretched, and he said: "Although there are also female scholars in the county, she is the first female scholar in our academy, but since you brought it, it must also have its advantages, so I dare to agree to this matter." ”

Lin Shan smiled and poured Chai Yan a cup of tea and handed it over and said, "Brother Lexing has a good reputation, and the younger brother is grateful again." ”

Chai Yan was not angry, and after taking the teacup, he did not have the attitude that a tea taster should have, but dried it up like a man who was obsessed with wine. He put down the teacup and said, "I'll go back to the academy first, and come over quickly when you have settled her properly." Then he turned and went downstairs.

Lin Shan didn't expect him to leave in such a hurry, and he didn't have anything else in mind, so he had to hurriedly shout: "Brother Lexing, please don't sue Dean Sù about this matter." ”

Chai Yantou went downstairs without looking back, and dropped a sentence when he was still on the wooden ladder: "I know, who knows who is in trouble about this." ”

After Chai Yan left, Mo Ye couldn't wait to ask, "Master, do you really want to take me into the academy to study?" ”

Lin Shan sat down at the table, nodded and said, "That's it, is there any fake?" ”

Mo Ye's face suddenly showed a sly smile: "You don't ask me first, maybe Ye'er doesn't like to study, and if you go to the academy, you will become a troublemaker." ”

"Oh? So since last year, the kitten who has been hiding behind the door of my study has been stealing fish and eating? Lin Shan took a sip of the teacup, then looked at the pair of pigtails combed on Mo Ye's head and said, "Could it be that I saw it wrong?" Yes, there is no cat with two tails in the world! ”

Mo Ye quickly understood the meaning of Lin Shan's words, couldn't help but giggle, covered his braids and said, "Master, you are making fun of Ye Er again." She rolled her eyes and said, "Tomorrow I will ask my aunt to comb only one braid for me." ”

Lin Shan smiled, and then said solemnly: "I'm going to take you to school tomorrow, so I can't comb your braids, Ye'er, are you ready?" From tomorrow onwards, you will have to dress up as a man in the college. ”

Seeing this, Mo Ye didn't dare to play with him anymore, but nodded very seriously and said, "Ye'er is ready." ”

Lin Shan didn't say anything more, and after drinking the tea soup in the cup, he led Mo Ye downstairs. came to the shed where the horses were parked and the horses were ridden, and handed over Mo Ye to Ma An, and Lin Shan went to the academy.

Early the next morning, Mo Ye couldn't hold back his excitement and got up very early. And this morning, what is a little different is that Mo Ye used to be in charge of the braiding by the Li family, and today Lin Shan will do it.

Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, watching the master scoop up the comb while the aunt stood aside, Mo Ye couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Lin Shan's face was calm, he saw Mo Ye's nervous appearance, and couldn't help but smile: "What are you afraid of, Master will comb your hair this time, and your aunt will do this in the future." But I'm talking ugly ahead, don't scream if it hurts you. ”

Mo Ye didn't say anything, but the thief smiled and stuck out his tongue at the reflection of Lin Shan in the mirror, and the embarrassment in his heart dissipated most of it.
