Chapter 154: Mr. Lin
Chu Mianyue took Yan Qinchang to the horse market, she didn't know anything about horses, and looked at the tall horses, which made her frown.
"What's wrong with you?"
Yan Qinchang looked at the cute little face wrinkled, and couldn't help but be a little funny, so he couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"Qin Chang, will you choose a horse? I look at all of them very good, I don't know which one to choose? He looked around as he spoke.
"Just follow me." The corners of Yan Qinchang's mouth curled slightly, allowing her to follow behind her.
"Sell horses, good horses, good prices." The horse seller saw Yan Qinchang coming with a noble face, and hurriedly stepped forward to introduce his horses.
"Childe, do you want to choose a horse? The villain has a good horse, would you like to come and see it? β
After saying that, he turned around and led his horse, tall and mighty, with red hair, and was led by the merchant.
Yan Qinchang glanced at his body and limbs, as well as his nose, nodded, and turned his head to look at Chu Xinyun behind him, "What does Yue'er think of this horse?" β
Chu Xinyun didn't expect him to ask himself, and looked at him suspiciously, "You ask me?" β
"Well, yes, what do you think?"
"Hmm......" Chu Xinyun glanced at it carefully, only to feel tall and mighty, similar to the others, frowned, touched his chin, and turned to look at the man behind him who was smiling.
"I just feel tall, it's no different, and this sign is no different from other horses."
"Huh." Yan Qinchang smiled dumbly, "You're right, but this horse is different from people, its premise is that the muscles are tight and thick, and it must be a lot of running." β
"This son, you really know the goods, this horse was sold to me by a dart bureau, and I heard that it can travel hundreds of miles a day with goods." The vendor proudly praised his horses.
"Oh? So powerful? β
Chu Xinyun was also curious, and when he heard it say this, he looked at the horses again, and he couldn't see anything special.
"That'...... How much are you going to sell me? β
Chu Xinyun whispered in the merchant's ear.
"I think this son has an excellent temperament, and he is a person who knows the goods, cheaper, five taels of silver." After speaking, he stretched out five fingers to look at them.
"How much? Five taels? You go and grab it. Chu Xinyun's originally smiling mouth stiffened on his face, and he looked at him in disbelief.
"Miss, this is really not expensive, if you don't believe it, you can look around, is it very cheap for such a horse to be five taels." The vendor looked at him with his chest puffed.
"Three taels, I won't give you any more."
"Four-tael."
"Three or two."
"Three halves."
"Just three or two, otherwise forget it, I'll go and see something else." As he spoke, he turned and left.
When the vendor saw this, he was immediately anxious, "Okay, then three or two, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." He spread out his hands and put them in front of her.
Chu Xinyun was overjoyed and winked at Yan Qinchang, revealing a petite and cute appearance, which made Yan Qinchang feel funny, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
The ladies in Kyoto go shopping, attend banquets, and enjoy the comforts brought by high society every day, and it is rare to see a thrifty girl bargaining for two taels of silver.
"What are you doing? Lead the horse. Chu Xinyun took the reins from the vendor and saw that she was in a daze, stretching out her little white hand to dangle in front of his eyes.
"Huh? What's wrong? β
I just lost my mind, and then I came back to my senses and looked at her with a confused expression.
"What are you thinking? Hurry up and lead the horse, and I'll have to make a custom carriage later. β
"I'll go and order the carriage, aren't you going to ask for a gentleman?"
It's almost noon, and if you delay the afternoon, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back until the afternoon, and the separation will be faster.
"Well, it's okay, then after you book the carriage, go to the city gate and wait for me, and I'll look for you there when I'm done." Chu Xinyun stretched out his hand to cover his eyebrows, raised his head and looked at the scorching sun.
After the two separated, Chu Xinyun went directly to the academy, where there were often gentlemen who taught their studies, and there would be disagreements due to different teachings.
"Zi said, it is not easy to learn and learn."
The sound of reading aloud came from the room, which made Chu Xinyun's mood also carry a trace of respect.
"This girl, who are you?"
Mr. Teaching was walking towards the room with the book, and he saw a girl standing at the door of the academy who thought she was dressed plainly, standing there dripping with sweat.
"Sir, I came to invite Mr. Private School, and I want to ask Mr. Yu to teach my brother his studies."
Chu Xinyun saluted respectfully and explained the purpose of his trip.
When the gentleman heard that it was Mr. Private School, he was stunned at first, and then looked at her carefully, and he didn't look like a family with a superior family, so he hesitated for a while.
"This girl, talking in the house."
"Thank you, sir."
The first time Chu Xinyun entered the inner room of the academy, there were bookshelves all around, with many books on them, a set of four treasures of the study room on the desk, and a few books around it, and an incense burner was lit next to the pen holder, and the gurgling sandalwood came to the nose.
Behind the chair there is also a large portrait of Confucius, solemn and sacred.
"This girl, you said earlier that you were inviting Mr. for your brother, dare to ask him Guigeng today?"
"My brother is more than fifteen years old this year, and he has not yet read and read because of family reasons, I don't know what to call this gentleman?"
Chu Xinyun sat respectfully on the side, sat there with his back straight, and responded decently.
"The old man's surname is He, and he is the dean of this academy."
"Dean He, I wonder if there are idle gentlemen in the academy who come to teach?"
"Don't hide it from the girl, there is indeed one in the blind academy, but this person has a withdrawn personality and is more casual, and many students complain to the old man, but this person is a good gentleman with great knowledge."
Dean He looked a little embarrassed when he mentioned this person, after all, he would never give himself a good face in front of him because he was the dean.
"Oh? So where is this gentleman now? There was still such a person, which made Chu Xinyun's heart full of curiosity.
Before he ......could finish his words, he saw a sloppy gray old man with messy hair walking in from the door carrying a stack of books.
"Now, that's it."
Following the dean's hand and looking over, Chu Xinyun looked at it carefully.
"Hey...... Mr. Lin, what are you doing again? Dean He sighed helplessly, got up and walked towards him.
"Dean He, what are you doing when you don't go to teach and run to me?"
Mr. Lin frowned unhappily, looked at the old man in front of him, and waved his hand impatiently.
"Look at you, there is still a teaching and educating people there, I want to ask you, this girl wants to invite you to be a private school teacher at home, are you willing?"
Dean He pointed to Chu Xinyun behind him.
"Mr. Lin is polite."
Mr. Lin glanced at the little girl in front of him and frowned, "I don't want to?" β
"Why wouldn't you, sir?" Chu Xinyun was stunned for a moment, and looked at him suspiciously.
"I don't want to be unwilling, what do you care about me so much?"
"As the saying goes, there is a cause and effect, and Mr. is Mr. He should carry forward the spirit of Confucius and spread literature, so if Mr. is unwilling, why should he become Mr.?"
It was the first time someone would talk to him like this, and Mr. Lin wanted to lift his feet for a moment, and turned his head to look at the girl who was half a cut shorter than himself.
"Do you know who you're talking to?"
Chu Xinyun smiled lightly and looked at the man in front of him, "Naturally I know." β
"Mr. has always been highly valued in my dynasty, and he is a pillar of the country, are you accusing me of losing the face of Confucius?"
There was a chill in her voice, her messy bun blocked her face, and her eyes looked at her gloomily.
Chu Xinyun didn't seem to hear the gloomy tone, he just smiled calmly and bent over respectfully.
"What Mr. said is a bit too heavy, how dare the little woman despise you, the gentleman has such a special temper, the little woman is just curious."
"Curious about what?"
Mr. Lin's tone changed slightly, retracting his previous eerie tone.
"I'm curious about what kind of students can get into your eyes."
"I ......" Mr. Lin was speechless for a while, not knowing how to respond.
The reason why I don't like teaching is because I am confined in this small academy, I can't develop my own characteristics and advantages, and I can't let students experience that kind of artistic conception.
"Sir, I see that you are also a dissolute person, not like others with the air of books, the little woman implores you to train my brother to become a pillar of the country."
Chu Mianyue saw that he couldn't respond, and his outfit was different from others, thinking that he was a different kind of person.
"Hmph, how did you know that your brother could become a pillar of the country?" Mr. Lin was indeed a little moved, but he couldn't pull his face, after all, his previous attitude was already there, and he really couldn't lose his face.
"Sir will know as soon as he goes." Chu Xinyun is full of confidence in Chu Xinhai, and Qin Chang also said that his brother is proficient in reading and is a good material for reading.
"Okay, tomorrow morning, you send someone to pick me up from the academy, I have to see the talent first, otherwise I don't have to talk about it." Mr. Lin rolled his eyes and thought of a compromise solution, an ambiguous answer.
"Then in this case, it is better for the little woman to be respectful than to obey her fate." Chu Xinyun saw that his goal had been achieved, revealing a big little face, his eyes were hot at noon, and his little face was crimson.
Seeing this, Dean He touched the beard on his chin, and looked at the little girl with appreciation, she was not very old, but her mind was active, but she was curious, her brother was really so powerful?
At this timeβ
"Dean He......" A gentle and elegant voice came from the door.
Chu Xinyun felt dΓ©jΓ vu, so he turned his head to look at the door.
I saw a stone blue robe, his hair was simply erected, a ribbon of the same color was tied on his head, wheat-colored skin, and a pair of starry eyes looked at Dean He, revealing his white teeth, which felt a little like the brother next door.
"Mu Jue, why are you here?" Dean He looked at him with a look of surprise, and his voice trembled a little.
"Dean He, Mu Jue has come to see you."
Speaking of this, his eyes shone with a glimmer of light, and he strode in front of Dean He and knelt on the ground, looking grateful.
Mr. Lin glanced at it coldly, snorted coldly and turned around and walked towards his room, looking at Mu Jue's face with a little disgust.
This made Chu Mianyue very curious, and before she could speak, Mr. Lin had already walked away, scratched his head, and looked at Mu Jue's 'deep teacher-student relationship'.
"Mu Jue, didn't you go to the township test? How did it end up here? β
Dean He said as he lifted himself and looked at the young man opposite suspiciously.
"Dean He, Mu Jue is now a showman, I just got the notice, so I will tell you first, Mu Jue thank you for your careful teaching to me."
After that, Mu Jue knelt on the ground and knelt there very excitedly.
"Okay, okay, okay, I know you will live up to my expectations, good boy, hurry up, you will be a talent from today on." Dean He was also happy for him.
The two chatted together for a while, and Mu Jue remembered that it was not yet the lunch break, and it was the time for teaching, so he explained before getting up to leave.
"Mu Jue."
