"Learn and learn, don't you also say? Have friends come from afar, are you happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, aren't they also gentlemen?

The sound of books came from a few open windows in the distance, and the sound of reading gradually stopped, and a young girl's voice asked, "Venerable Master, what do you mean by these three sentences?" ”

Then a gentle voice replied: "Xiaoyu, these are the three great joys of Confucius's life, it means that if you re-read the articles you have learned in different circumstances, you will find that there are new gains, so as to obtain happiness, and also, your relatives are in a distant place, and they don't know their situation for a long, long time, and one day they suddenly return from afar

At this time, it is the middle of spring, the world has just finished the April Fangfei, the forest flowers have thanked the spring red, the green in Wuwei City is rich, the smoke blows people, it is the most comfortable and moving season of the year, a small private school is added next to the meditation view behind the Thorn History Mansion, the private school is connected with the back garden of the Thorn History Mansion, and twenty or thirty girls under the age of ten are recruited in this private school, most of them are sent by some enlightened families in Wuwei City, no tuition is charged, but occasionally there are girls who bring some vegetables and fruits to thank the teacher.

Mr. is a young and beautiful woman, in the words of the girls, they have never seen such a beautiful woman, just like a fairy descending to earth, this beautiful female gentleman is naturally Cui Ning.

Living in Hexi, she was quite bored after a long time, Zhang Huan built a private school next to Jingjingguan, recruited some girls to study and teach, and had a career in his hands, Cui Ning also devoted himself to teaching these twenty or thirty students, and gradually had sustenance in his heart.

Although the private school is not big, but the school is very spacious, there are more than 30 small couches neatly placed in the school, each couch is placed on a desk, on which the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are complete, more than 20 girls are listening attentively to Mr. 's explanation, eyes are pure, full of admiration, Cui Ning is wearing a white dress. She sat in the front of the teacher's seat, holding a book in her hand, and her sleeves slid down gently, revealing a white wrist like frost and snow.

On the desk in front of her was a white jade bottle. In the bottle was a bouquet of jasmine in full bloom. Delicate and white, bursts of fragrance are fragrant, and the beautiful and refined Cui Ning complement each other.

At this moment, the Analects have been explained, and tomorrow is the Cold Food Festival, Cui Ning is explaining the origin of the Cold Food Festival to the girls, with a gentle and smiling look in her eyes.

"Spring City is full of flying flowers, cold food east wind and willow slope.

Sunset Han official pass candles. Light smoke dispersed into the Wuhou family.

This poem is to describe the cold food festival, legend has it that in the Spring and Autumn Period, after Jie Zitui assisted the Jin prince Chong'er to return to the country, he lived in seclusion in the mountains, unwilling to be an official.

Heavy ears burned the mountain to force him out, Zitui mother and son burned in hiding, and later Jin Wengong mourned him, so he ordered to ban fire and cold food on Zitui's taboo day.

The Cold Food Festival was formed, which is now one hundred and fifteen days after the winter solstice

Cui Ning was talking softly in the school, but she didn't notice that there was a person standing quietly under the window, looking at her with a smile.

Zhang Huan had been here for a long time, and the thick green branches and leaves outside the window blocked his figure. He couldn't bear to disturb Cui Ning's teaching, and at this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him.

"Shh Zhang Huan hurriedly turned around and signaled the people behind him to be quiet, and behind him stood an old servant who was doing chores in the private school. He was holding a girl of six or seven years old, one on the left and one on the right. They are all dressed in general, and their little faces are just as delicate and cute. It seems to be twin sisters, not far away followed by a woman in her thirties, with a rather conspicuous black mole on her chin, it is this iconic black mole, Zhang Huan seems to remember that she is the wife of Wang Qian, the county Cheng, she also saw Zhang Huan, and was hesitating and did not dare to step forward.

At this time, Cui Ning also saw the old servant through the window, and knew that there were new students coming, so she arranged for the students to practice calligraphy, and walked out of the school quickly, but at a glance saw Zhang Huan standing under the window, only to see that he was struggling to come out of a bush of lush branches and leaves, and his hat was crooked, looking a little embarrassed.

Cui Ning hurriedly stepped forward to remove the branches and leaves for him, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I don't want to disturb your class, just take a look at you and leave."

"Then you wait for me, I happen to have a new student here." Cui Ning's eyes flowed, and he glanced at him coquettishly and charmingly, Zhang Huan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly flashed to the side to wait.

After waiting for a while, he saw that Cui Ning needed a little time to accept the new students, so he walked into the school, the school was very quiet, every girl was writing seriously, and no one noticed Zhang Huan coming in.

He walked up to the girl named Xiaoyu, and saw that she was writing the newly learned Analects silently, and was writing a lot of words, but she was writing a pleasant word, Zhang Huan nodded secretly, this is a child with her own ideas, and it is rare at a young age.

"Who are you?" Xiaoyu suddenly felt that the breath of the person in front of him was wrong, and when he looked up, he saw that the Venerable Master had turned into a man with a beard, so he couldn't help but be startled, and asked timidly.

Her voice broke the silence in the school, and all the girls looked up and looked at the uninvited guest suspiciously.

"That, I'm your husband's one, that"

Zhang Huan smiled a little embarrassedly, "I am also your Mr. Di, teaching you archery and horseback riding."

He suddenly saw the children's wrists as delicate as hemp rods, and he couldn't say any more, but when the girls heard the horse, their eyes brightened, and their eyes were full of yearning.

"Alright, stop fooling my students." Cui Ning appeared at the door, holding a girl like a pink carving in one hand, and was looking at Zhang Huan with a smile on her lips.

"Where I coax them, to-morrow I will have some ponies brought in." Speaking of this, Zhang Huan suddenly understood that he had been fooled, he squeezed his eyes at Cui Ning, turned to the schoolchildren and said with a smile: "I mean what I say, let Mr. give you half a day off tomorrow and learn to ride a horse." ”

The girls all cheered together, Cui Ning walked in, looked at Zhang Huan, he understood, slowly walked to the next door, Cui Ning's laughter came from behind him, "Okay, these two are our new partners, one is called Xiaoice." One is called Xiaoyu, everyone is welcome. ”

Next door is the place where Cui Ning's students review their homework, the room is not big, spotlessly cleaned, the morning sun shines through the panes, the whole room is elegant and quiet, exuding a faint fragrance.

Zhang Huan sat down. Gently flip through the stack of homework on the desk. This is the children's practice of calligraphy, a few words that are not very well written, and there are places that Cui Ning needs to pay attention to in small characters next to them.

At this time, Zhang Huan suddenly felt something strange behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Cui Ning already standing behind him, she was tall, like a graceful magnolia.

He hurriedly stood up. Catching her hand, Cui Ning hadn't been alone with Zhang Huan for a long time, she lowered her head a little shyly, and said in a low voice: "What were you doing sneakily outside the window just now?" ”

"I miss you so much, so I came to see you." Zhang Huan gently lifted her chin, stared at her jewel-like eyes, looked at her slightly open red lips, and was about to bow her head and kiss it.

"Don't!" Cui Ning hurriedly blocked his mouth with his hand. She pointed outside, "It's not good to be seen by the children." ”

Seeing a hint of disappointment in Zhang Huan's eyes, she took the initiative to kiss him on the face, and said with a smile: "That's it." Zhang Huan didn't force her, so he took her hand and sat down. "Looks like you like these kids a lot." ”

Cui Ning nodded lightly, "I really want to thank you, it was originally quite boring, but after accepting these children, I have something to do." I feel so much more fulfilled. Huanlang, I'm going to teach these kids for five years. You're going to help me. ”

Zhang Huan heard her call herself Huan Lang, and his heart fluttered, so he took her hand and laughed ambiguously: "What about our child?" Do you want to teach them too? ”

Cui Ning's face was flushed with shame, she raised her pink fist and hit it, but Zhang Huan took advantage of the situation to hug her and kissed her red lips deeply, Cui Ning's eyes gradually showed a look of intoxication, she hugged her lair's neck and kissed back affectionately

Suddenly, there was a sound of reading outside, Cui Ning was shocked, immediately sat up, pulled his skirt, and glanced at Zhang Huan coquettishly: "I took the opportunity to be light again." ”

Zhang Huan was so excited by her delicate state that his heart was shaking, and he suddenly felt that he was becoming more and more uncontrollable, and if he waited like this, when would it be the end, so he frowned and said, "Ning'er, do you have to agree to your father?" ”

At the mention of his father, Cui Ning sighed softly, he ran away from marriage and came to Hexi, and his father did not punish Zhang Huan afterwards, indicating that he actually loved himself very much in his heart and had acquiesced in his behavior, so how could she disrespect her father.

Thinking of this, she said gently: "Huan Lang, since I have come to Hexi with you, then I am no other than you, but I can't forget my father's nurturing grace, can I wait a little longer?" When he is gone, he will be able to promise us. ”

Speaking of this, she took out a letter from under the table, handed it to Zhang Huan, and said, "This is my letter to my father, you help me let people take it back." ”

Zhang Huan hesitated, but still took it, Cui Ning understood his concern, so he smiled again: "I just told my father that I was a female master in Hexi, taught twenty or thirty female students, and asked him to send some of my things, I think he should be pleased." ”

Zhang Huan took the letter and wanted to ask her if she had asked her father to agree to the marriage, but as soon as he thought about it, he let go of this idea, he knew that Cui Ning was actually a person who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and forcing her would be counterproductive, so he could only take his time, so he smiled helplessly: "Okay! Count my fate as bitter. ”

Cui Ning fluttered! laughed out loud, poked his forehead lightly with a jade-like finger, and smiled softly: "Where is your life hard, you have turned the daughters of the two major Xiangguo lands into your hands, and others are not good!" ”

Zhang Huan smiled, he stood up, "Okay, I'm leaving, I heard that gold sand was found in the sand mining at Huixi Fort, I want to take a look, it will take a few days to come back, and I will also explain the children's horseback riding." ”

"Huanlang!" Cui Ning suddenly stopped him again, she hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Yan County's wife and daughter, you can spare them!" ”

"What did you say?" The smile on Zhang Huan's face gradually disappeared, and he said in a somewhat cold tone: "Did they find you?" ”

Cui Ning shook his head, "I've never seen them, but it's just that you killed men, what's the crime of poor women?" ”

Before she finished speaking, Zhang Huan interrupted her with a smile, "I understand that you are kind, but I have considered this matter, so don't ask." ”

He smiled and pointed to a few girls who were probing their brains, "They're all waiting for you, go ahead!" ”

"Huanlang!" Cui Ning chased a few steps and stopped him, she bit her lip and said, "I'm not for them, I'm for you, do you understand?" ”

She saw Zhang Huan standing still, so she persuaded him bitterly: "Huan Lang, I know that you have great ambitions, sometimes you need to use a strong hand, you deprive them of their land and family property, these are things outside the body, I will not persuade you, you kill those men, I also know that you are trying to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, although I can't bear it, but I don't persuade you, but you don't even have their wives and daughters in the church, let others spoil it, this is really a bit cruel, who doesn't have wives and children, if one day, you fall, Pei Ying and I too."

Cui Ning's eyes were a little red, she couldn't say any more, for a long time, Zhang Huan sighed, didn't look back, only nodded slightly: "Okay!" I will compromise on this matter, let them change to the laundry bureau to wash the soldiers' clothes for three years, and then release them, and the women of the land will do the same in the future. ”

After speaking, he strode away without looking back, Cui Ning looked at his back and muttered: "Huan Lang, I just hope that you will be a little more forgiving, and God will help you." ”
