Chapter 018: Gratitude (I)

After teaching for three days in a row, Ji Ning was basically adapted to teaching people to read and write.

In fact, he didn't spend much time teaching people to read.

This world is absolutely "everything is inferior, only reading is high", even the status of the prince is not necessarily higher than a university scholar, and the people at the bottom are even more eager to read and write.

Therefore, Ji Ning teaches people to read, and there is no need to worry about students being naughty and unwilling to learn.

In the first two days, when teaching students to read, they were taught the basic strokes of writing by the way. On the third day, he hung the wooden board behind the lectern and taught the students the meaning of the words.

The pen and ink paper of the Dayong Dynasty are expensive, and even the children of medium-sized families dare not directly practice calligraphy with pen and ink paper, let alone the common people at the bottom.

However, this is a great thing for Ji Ning, which directly saves him the trouble of teaching people to use a brush, so that he teaches people to read and write immediately, and the parents of students have rave reviews.

After lingering in the classroom for a pillar of incense, Ji Ning left the classroom and went to his special lounge, where he picked up the Analects and studied it carefully.

Yu Ling first lit a piece of sandalwood in the lounge, and then prepared tea for Ji Ning to quench his thirst and moisten his throat.

Since it was close to noon, it was a little stuffy indoors, so Yu Ling picked up a fan again and slowly fanned Ji Ning next to it to cool down.

In the afternoon, Ji Ning went home from school early.

Pack up a little, bring gifts, and visit the Qin Mansion.

When Qin Yuanyuan learned that he was opening a private school, he immediately sent ten strong men to help prevent someone from making trouble, and specially ordered that his subordinates were forbidden to eat and take him. He must return the favor and thank you.

Now that Sanwei Academy has officially opened for three days, it's time to come and thank you.

Ji Ning took Yu Ling, and He Angang, who was carrying a gift, walked to the gate of the Qin Mansion, and the Qin Mansion's housekeeper, who had been waiting at the gate for a long time, immediately stepped up respectfully with a smile on his face to greet him.

Under the guidance of the Qin Mansion's chief butler, Ji Ning stepped into the luxurious hall where he met Qin Yuanyuan for the first time last time.

"Ji Gongzi, please sit down and drink tea first." The chief housekeeper of the Qin Mansion said respectfully, "I'll go and inform my young lady, my young lady will be here soon." ”

Ji Ning smiled lightly and said, "The big butler doesn't have to be polite, go ahead." “

The chief butler of the Qin Mansion saluted Ji Ning and exited the hall.

Ji Ning didn't sit down to drink tea, he noticed that on the wall inside the hall, in addition to the pair that Qin Yuanyuan originally used to self-discipline, "Don't see it, don't show it", there was another couplet.

That couplet is exactly the last time he came out of the ages: the sea is facing and falling, and the floating clouds are long and long, and they disappear for a long time.

This pair itself has a lot of words, plus the words written are large, and the use of the line of calligraphy, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, the pen walks the dragon and snake, and it looks particularly eye-catching when hung on the wall.

Ji Ning was slightly surprised, and then couldn't help but smile a little, and secretly thought: "I didn't expect that Widow Qin would inevitably have a little vanity and a good name. ”

"Young Master, Widow Qin actually hung the strange pair of ancient things you came out of on the hall of her house, it can't be a fake recognition of your talent, right?" Yu Ling also discovered the strange pair, and immediately said suspiciously beside Ji Ning.

Ji Ning shook his head slightly and said, "No." Since she is here to receive us, it means that she is not worried about what we will see, and she is not weak-hearted. Besides, she asked for my permission in the first place. ”

"Oh." Yu Ling responded, flattened her cute and sexy cherry mouth, and said unconvinced, "But she still took advantage of you, young master!" She hung the couplet here to tell others that this ancient couplet was made in her house. In the future, when others talk about this ancient strange pair, the first thing they mention is her, not you, young master. ”

She just doesn't like Qin Yuanyuan, she can seduce men with her face covered, it's definitely not a good thing!

Ji Ning shook his head and smiled, signaling Yu Ling not to say any more.

Then he turned and looked at a painting hanging on the left wall, his handsome face slightly tilted, and he stood with his hands in admiration.

The painting is called "Hundred Birds and Phoenix", which is obviously from the hand of a famous artist, with both form and spirit, and full of momentum.

Rain Spirit stepped aside playfully.

Just when Ji Ning was a little fascinated by admiring "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix", Qin Yuanyuan had already changed into a gorgeous and dignified clothes and walked to the door of the hall, just when he saw Ji Ning standing with his hands in his hands, his handsome face slightly upturned and concentrating on admiring "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix".

Ji Ning is slender and straight, wearing a decent long-sleeved wide-sleeved robe, a scholar and a Confucian suit, half of his handsome face is slightly upturned, his expression is focused, and he can see that his facial features are clearly contoured, his temperament is elegant and extraordinary, and he is graceful.

Qin Yuanyuan walked to the door and saw Ji Ning at first glance, and her beautiful image at this moment instantly burned into her heart. She couldn't help but stop her lotus steps, and it took a moment to come back to her senses.

"There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book. I wonder if Ji Gongzi has ever found the Golden House from the book? Found Yan Ruyu? ”

A sweet and melodious voice came, with a smile, crispy and soft into the listening bones.

Ji Ning came back to his senses, turned around to look, and sure enough, he saw Qin Yuanyuan, who had a white veil as thin as a cicada's wings on his pretty face, walking in from the door.

She is like a willow, and she has a strange fox power.

Her watery eyes shone brightly, and everywhere she looked, the entire hall was several times brighter.

Ji Ning took a few steps to meet him, bowed in front of Qin Yuanyuan and said, "Ji has seen Miss Qin. ”

"Ji Gongzi doesn't have to be polite." Qin Yuanyuan's delicate body squatted slightly, and smiled back with a blessing.

Yu Ling and He An followed and politely saluted Qin Yuanyuan, and then stepped aside, not disturbing their young master to talk to Qin Yuanyuan.

After the salute, I walked to the seat and sat down as the guest of honor.

Without waiting for Ji Ning to answer what she just said, Qin Yuanyuan himself continued: "Your poem "Persuasion Poems" has offended all the readers in the world, see how you will clean it up in the future?" ”

"Hehe, the world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. Ji just said the truth. Ji Ning said with a light smile, "If you are scolded by the world's scholars because of this, it is not Ji who is wrong, but the world." ”

Qin Yuanyuan's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but say: "'The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. 'What an incisive sentence! The Tao has exhausted the sophistication of people in the world. Ji Gongzi's export is really extraordinary, which really makes the concubine admire. ”

Ji Ning couldn't help but be a little stunned, he just plagiarized the famous words of Ma Qian of Taishi Company with a casual word, which made Qin Yuanyuan amazed and admired, what a sin.

"Well, this is not what Ji said, but the words of my father." In front of the beauty, Ji Ning was embarrassed to be too shameless.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yuanyuan shook his head with a smile and said with a smile: "The concubine doesn't believe it." ”
