Chapter 312 Jinghua Book Club
Qi Ning left the lobby and walked out of the Wuxiang Hou Mansion, and saw Su Zixuan sobbing under the high wall, but Jiang Suiyun comforted her softly, and even took a brocade and handed it to Su Zixuan.

Someone had already led Qi Ning's horse over, Qi Ning ignored the pair of men and women, turned over on the horse, and was about to leave, but heard Jiang Suiyun's voice say: "Master Hou, please stay!" โ
Qi Ning glanced back, only to see Jiang Suiyun looking at him, smiled faintly, and asked, "Do you have any advice?" โ
Jiang Suiyun said: "Master Hou doesn't know, do you remember the bet between us?" โ
"Bet?" Qi Ning smiled: "You mean that you are going to make a bet to polish Benhou's boots?" โ
Jiang Suiyun smiled indifferently and said, "Who wins and who loses, it is not yet known, but since the gambling contract was made that day, I still hope that Hou Ye can fulfill the agreement." After a pause, his eyes were sharp: "If I lose to Hou Ye, I will naturally keep my promise, but if Hou Ye loses at that time, I also hope that Hou Ye will not lose his trust." โ
Qi Ning smiled: "Benhou may not remember anything else, but I remember the gambling contract with you clearly." Without further ado, he shook the reins of the horse and flew away.
Su Zixuan looked at Qi Ning's distant figure, her eyes were full of hatred, Jiang Suiyun looked at it, and sneered: "Don't worry, eldest miss, when it comes to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we will definitely let him kneel down in public to polish my boots under the noses of countless literati in many academies. โ
"Gongzi Jiang, you ...... You're so nice! Su Zixuan's eyes were full of tears.
Qi Ning returned to the Hou Mansion and immediately wanted to find Xiao Yao, and learned that Gu Qinghan had arranged Xiao Yao's mother and daughter to a courtyard in the Hou Mansion, so he hurried over, and before he entered the door, he saw Gu Qinghan walking out.
When Gu Qinghan saw Qi Ning, he immediately asked, "Did you arrange for their mother and daughter to live in the mansion?" โ
Qi Ning introduced the situation at the moment, Gu Qinghan raised his eyebrows, and sneered: "I know that Su Yu has a poor character, but I didn't expect to be so unkind. I've heard about this before, so the girl named Xiao Yao is Su Yu's daughter? โ
Qi Ning nodded and said: "Xiao Yao is studying in the academy, fortunately I went to the academy today, and now she is not in the academy, otherwise the mother and daughter are afraid that they will really live on the streets." โ
Gu Qinghan frowned slightly, glanced back at the courtyard, and then lowered his voice and said, "How are you going to press the row next?" โ
"I didn't think about it either." Qi Ning said: "Sanniang has a way? โ
Gu Qinghan thought for a moment before he said: "If it were someone else, even if you entered the Hou Mansion, it would be nothing, just two more pairs of chopsticks, but .......!" After a pause, he said: "After all, he is Su Yu's daughter, not that Su Yu's daughter is bad, but Su Yu's matter, many people know in their hearts, if someone knows that Su Yu's daughter was brought to the Hou Mansion by you, I am afraid that some people will say some unclean gossip, which will greatly damage Miss Xiaoyao's reputation." โ
Qi Ning nodded and said: "Sanniang is thinking about it very much, in fact, with Xiao Yao's character, even if she is allowed to live in the Hou Mansion for a long time, she will not agree." He took out the deed from his bosom, "The house they lived in before, the deed is already in my hands, and I have people pack it up, but it's .......!" โ
"Are you worried that Su Zixuan will send someone to find trouble again?"
Qi Ning nodded and said, "Although they are sisters, their temperaments are very different. Su Zixuan is pampered and has a brutal temperament, she hates me to the core, and maybe she will send someone to harass her. Ruffians and hooligans are everywhere, as long as she spends money, Xiao Yao's mother and daughter are rarely at peace. โ
Gu Qinghan thought for a while, and then said: "It's really not possible, just buy a small house nearby, settle their mother and daughter first, and I will often take care of it, so that Xiao Yao's mother and daughter will not be bullied, and so that outsiders will not gossip." โ
Qi Ning said with a smile: "I know that Sanniang must have a way, with Sanniang here, no matter what difficulties I encounter, I will solve them." โ
"Don't be hippie." Gu Qinghan glared at Qi Ning, "It's always inappropriate for you to go to the Wuxiang Hou Mansion to make trouble today." You help Xiao Yao, naturally there is nothing wrong, but after all, this is someone else's family matter, what is it if you go to the Wuxiang Hou Mansion to make a fuss? โ
Qi Ning sneered: "Su Yu is unkind, shouldn't someone like him be scolded?" โ
"Alright." Gu Qinghan didn't argue, "You go and see them first, I'll let people see if there is any place nearby that can be bought, and then settle their mother and daughter first." He didn't say much, and went away.
Qi Ning entered the courtyard and entered the house, saw that the door was open, knocked on the door, and heard Xiao Yao's voice: "Come in." โ
Qi Ning entered the house, Xiao Yao was sitting on the edge of the bed, saw Qi Ning, hurriedly got up, Qi Ning waved his hand, walked over lightly, only to see that Yao's mother had already lay down and was also asleep.
The room is clean and simple, the bedding on the bed is brand new, and there are dishes and chopsticks on the table in the room, Qi Ning's heart warms, knowing that these are all arranged by Gu Qinghan.
"Master Hou, how ...... Thank you! Xiao Yao was a little shy: "It's really ....... to disturb your Hou Mansion like this!" โ
Qi Ning shook his head and said, "You will see this when you say this." Xiao Yao, how is your mother doing now? โ
"She's eaten some porridge and is asleep now." Xiao Yao looked at Yao's mother who had fallen asleep, and said quietly: "She hasn't slept well these days, and she can finally have a good rest today." โ
"You need to take a break, too." Qi Ning said, "Tomorrow you go to the academy as usual." โ
Xiao Yao frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Master Hou, I'm ...... I don't want to go to the academy anymore. โ
"Why are you still so stubborn." Qi Ning sat down on the chair, "Xiao Yao, you also sit down and talk." โ
Xiao Yao hesitated, and finally sat down on the side, Qi Ning said: "I know you like to read very much, let me ask you, Mr. Zhuo founded Qionglin Academy, and worked hard for his daughter's family to study, do you think it is not easy?" โ
Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head slightly.
"Yes, Mr. Zhuo gave up high-ranking officials and devoted himself to maintaining Qionglin Academy, because he had ideals in his heart, and he has always adhered to them." Qi Ning said slowly: "You like to read, wouldn't it be a pity if you give up easily because of some setbacks?" Isn't it strong enough? After a pause, he said, "I know you're worried about your mother, you don't have to worry about this, I'll send someone to take care of you." โ
Xiao Yao said: "But...... Master Hou, I know you are a good person, but we can't stay here for long. โ
"I understand what you mean." Qi Ning nodded and said: "I have sent someone to look for a house nearby, as long as you find a suitable house, you will move over, you don't want to live in the previous house, and I don't worry about letting you continue to live there." โ
Xiao Yao hurriedly said: "That's ...... If this doesn't work, how can we ask you to find us a house? โ
"I am your husband, you are my student, students are in difficulty, of course as a gentleman, you must help without hesitation." Qi Ning said: "Xiao Yao, you are a smart girl, you should know that the most important thing for your mother now is to take care of her body and gradually recover, if there is no peaceful environment, I am only worried that her situation will become more and more serious." โ
"I'm ......!" Xiao Yao glanced at Yao's mother, biting her red lip, not knowing what to say.
"Listen to my arrangement first, and you will go to the academy as usual tomorrow." Qi Ning smiled: "Do you know what Mr. Zhuo is most worried about now?" โ
Xiao Yao's eyes widened, and her watery eyes were full of questions.
"There is no successor." Qi Ning sighed: "Mr. Zhuo is old, and Qionglin Academy is his life's work, but he has been worried, after a hundred years, will Qionglin Academy be able to continue?" Not to mention that there are many people who want to abolish Qionglin Academy under the banner of immorality, even if Qionglin Academy is preserved, who can continue to teach? โ
Xiao Yao was rough and showed her eyebrows, and her expression was a little gloomy.
"So Mr. Zhuo pins all his hopes on you." Qi Ning said: "Mr. Zhuo hopes that after his 100th year, you female students in the academy will be able to succeed in their studies and stay in the academy to continue teaching and passing on the arts." โ
"Huh?" Xiao Yao was surprised: "Mr. Zhuo thinks so? โ
Qi Ning nodded and said, "Yes, so the continuation of Qionglin Academy still needs your efforts, if one day you can teach and educate people in the academy, that is what Mr. Zhuo hopes to see the most." โ
"How do I do it?" Xiao Yao hurriedly said: "I ......!" โ
"If you don't pursue it, how do you know if you can't do it?" Qi Ning said with a smile: "Maybe after many years, there will really be female gentlemen in Qionglin Academy, and you are one of them." โ
Xiao Yao's cheeks were slightly red, and she waved her hand and said, "That..... That can't be ......! โ
Qi Ning laughed and said, "So tomorrow you still have to go to the academy, and I will arrange other things." Thinking of something, he asked, "By the way, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, is there a competition in the academy?" โ
Xiao Yao immediately said: "There were originally eight academies in the capital, and the rules were formed many years ago, and on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year, the eight academies will gather together to compete in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the winning academies will get the emperor's imperial pen inscription, and they can also select talents from them to enter the court as officials, so the eight academies have always attached great importance to the Jinghua Book Club." โ
"Jinghua Book Club?" Qi Ning bowed slightly: "Qionglin Academy is also one of the eight major academies?" โ
Xiao Yao shook her head and said: "No, the Eight Academies do not include Qionglin Academy, I heard that five years ago, the first emperor issued a special decree to order Qionglin Academy to participate in the Jinghua Book Club, although many people objected, but there was a holy decree, so Qionglin Academy still entered the Book Club from that year, and now the Jinghua Book Club is the competition of the Nine Academies." โ
"Then Qionglin Academy has ever won the first place?"
Xiao Yao shook her head and said: "There are many powerful people in the Eight Great Academies, and there are ...... Moreover, those Confucians have always been biased against Qionglin Academy, and even if we win, they will not let us win. Then he smiled and said: "Mr. Zhuo doesn't care about winning the first place, just let us see the world." โ
Qi Ning smiled: "I see, when you say this, I am looking forward to this Jinghua Book Club!" โ
